The Darkness Metal Manipulation
Chapter 68's

"I won't let you touch Zyden!"

A serious tone accompanied the words of the purple-haired woman. Her... Erika, really determined by her remarks.

"Keep away Erika, get out of there!" Exciting Lester high. "Are you siding with the monster because he's your fiancee? Or maybe..."

"...You did ally with him from the beginning to attack us heroes?" Continue Lester who makes everyone suspicious and alert to Erika.

"I don't intend to hurt anyone, this is an accident." Erika replied trying to calm the people, including Oliver who was holding his sword weapon tightly.

"Accident?" Oliver said calmly. "The person who slashed a goddess, smashed Eciela's arrow and directed her monstrous aura at my family was an accident? Did she?" It went on to declare all of Zyden's deeds to be considered crimes.

"And don't forget about that monster too, uncle?" Lester's voice hit him.

"Listen to Erika! I allowed you to be here because Asren and the others brought you here." Oliver explained his thoughts.

"Lilith also sees you as a good person, as well as that young man." This made Erika have a little hope.

"But... It was Lilith's vision before this incident happened. I don't care how the young man is or what's going on with him."

"However, what I definitely care about is Lilith who cried so hard after seeing the true form of the young man you consider your fiancee."

"Lilith had never cried when she saw someone before, she would probably just whine or stay away from people she considered to be bad people."

"Now, however, she cried out so much that she hugged her mother tightly that she saw something very evil."

"And that very evil thing is right behind you." Oliver said to do the horses.

Then, Oliver attacks Erika with a sword ready to split anything. Erika did not move indicating that she would not step aside or take refuge.

He still maintained his position where he was willing to become a living shield that could be attacked at any time.

"Yes....."

'Pulp....'

A short piece of wood held back Oliver's sword swing. The wood was a piece of Eciela's shattered arrow, and the person wearing the piece was Liya with a stream of blue mist enveloping her wood.

"How dare a lowly creature like you point his weapon at my Queen. You deserve to be put to death!!" He shouted with killing intent.

"STOP YOUR FIGHT !!"

Freya's subtle loud voice echoed throughout the room.

"Whoever moves, I will destroy." Continue to aim a stick with a circular root tip.

Everyone fell silent, they did not dare to do anything as the stick held by Freya let out quite a lot of mana focused on the end.

And everyone knows! If they moved suddenly, they would definitely die. Because of their instincts that said so for a moment Freya showed her angry face.

"Now!! Liya Citus... Oliver de Alnoid Gith! I command you both to step back slowly, and lower your weapons in your hands. NOW!!"

With a high voice, as well as the elegance that accompanied that voice. Freya made everyone submit obediently to her words.

Oliver sheathes his sword and retreats with the heroes and his family. While Liya felt reluctant, but she also retreated to the side of Erika who had behaved normally.

"Oliver de Alnoid Gith, let us stop here and don't bother us. I'll explain everything to you guys later. For now, leave us alone."

"This is my command, as well as my request." Freya Saying.

• • •

They all left without a word, including Lester who was staring intently at Zyden at the moment he was holding Eciela who was still unconscious.

Creaaac.... Bam!

The door was tightly closed leaving 4 people inside.

"Fuckin!!"

Erika rushed towards the lying boy earlier, she held him in a worried and fearful that anything would happen to the boy.

Then Eric called him several times, and occasionally he checked the state of the boy's body.

"Calm Erika. Cyan is fine! He only fainted from the forced separation of control between himself and the monster he was in." Freya exclaimed walking over with her hands covering her stomach wounds.

"That monster..., do you know anything about that monster, Goddess Freya?" Erika asked.

"ah! Before that, Liya. Can you heal the wounds of the goddess Freya? I allow you to use all your strength, and that goes for the future." Further.

"Okay, my Queen." Liyapun immediately tried to heal Freya with all his strength.

"Excuse me Goddess Freya." Liya cried out her hand to the wound that Freya had suffered.

A greenish glow began to appear around them and flowed from Liya's hand into the incision. Little by little, the wound began to close up missing until there was no scar of any kind on Freya's stomach.

'the incredible healing power, even my regeneration cannot heal the wounds from the Cyan attack just now. But she.. could do her very well.' thought Freya saw Liya who was healing her.

'if I had that healing magic, would I be more useful to Cyan.' he continued inwardly with a disappointment.

'no-no, what I was thinking. Cyan couldn't have been hurt so easily. And again, I still have this power. The power that Cyan needed now to help him deal with that monster.'

'monsters that can bring death even to gods.'

"Goddess Freya? Why are you daydreaming?" Erika asked as Liya finished with her task.

"I-I'm not daydreaming." Freya answered it.

"Then do you mind telling me about the monster that Zyden is in?" Erika stared at Freya.

"..., are you sure you want to hear from me?" Freya said that made Erika astonished.

"What does that mean?"

"Well... You knew! I'm part of Cyan's life, in other words. I. am your rival. Are you sure you want to hear about Cyan from your rival?" Freya said with her distinctive tone of voice.

"Rivals? What is a rival?" Erika said with her ignorance.

"Emmm... Rival is yes.., rival or arguably your opponent in determining a victory. And I'm your opponent to be Cyan's sleeping partner every night." Freya answered with pride.

"So that means, we're gonna compete to determine who can spend the night with Zyden, right?" Erika.

"Yes... In other words Rival means like that." ('maybe') continued Freya in her heart. 'so I heard from the conversation Asren and Cyan anyway.' he continued.

"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt the fun conversation you two had. But my Queen, wouldn't it be better to lay your master on the bed than on the floor? That might be better." Sahut Liya gave his proposal.

"Ah yes, Zyden! I almost forgot about it."

Then Zyden was lifted and moved to the roughness that had existed before him. And we owe Liya a debt of gratitude for mediating them.
