CRIMSON OVERLORD - Season 2 Episode 24

The two girls, unable to attack with their respective weapons, used their heads instead.

Bang!

They were sent flying after their heads clashed. They felt dizzy.

Huff* *Huff* *Huff*

The two stood up with difficulty, their breaths were ragged, and their clothes ripped in different places, blood dripping from each of them. They glared at each other and were about to resume when an unexpected voice stopped them.

”What do you think you are doing?”

A white-haired beauty stood between the two and glared at them. This person was none other than Lily Emia Luxiria; unlike her sister, who didn’t come here after the previous explosion, she ran in this direction as soon she heard the explosion. She thought it was some strong origin beasts fighting and she would enjoy the fight two, but unexpectedly it was two students fighting. If it was a normal fight, she wouldn’t have stepped in and would have just walked away; however, the two were fighting as if they were archenemies; they intended to kill the other could be felt.

Lily didn’t know the hatred between Lilith and Snow, but she couldn’t tolerate something like this.

”What is your problem? Should I contact one of the supervisors waiting outside?” To show them that she was not joking, she took a flare to contact the supervisors.

Lilith and Snow exchanged a look and, in that instant to, decided to play pretend.

”You don’t have to. It was a friendly exchange, just that we got a bit excited. Fufufu! Isn’t that right, Snow?” Lilith said while looking at Snow, who nodded.

”Exactly. I’ll be on my way then.” Snow dragged her tired body and left.

Lily was not convinced, but there was nothing she could do; at least she stopped the fight from continuing; little did she know that those two would resume their fight soon.

This fight could be considered a draw, and the two weren’t satisfied with this outcome.

Back to the now unconscious Orpheus’s location.

After Brünhild entered the room, she dashed toward the bloodied Orpheus, whose body was twitching continuously.

Orpheus’s unconsciousness didn’t stop whatever wrecked his body from carrying on. Laying him on her lap, Brünhild heaved a sigh and blamed herself for the current situation. She could only watch, helpless, as purple veins bulged and pulsed across her master’s body. His heart rate sped up, his breathing turned erratic, and his body temperature rose to the point Brünhild was forced to use several Ice based Runes on him to try to regulate his abnormal body temperature.

Worse, Orpheus’s left eye was wide open, bleeding, his crimson eye was now transformed into purple color, there were numerous circles in the middle of his purple eye, a horrific pressure was pulsating from the purple eye, making Brünhild tremble, if not for her high level, she would have been frozen, time seemed to stagnate inside the room.

Suddenly, a silhouette dashed inside the purple room to abruptly stop when the silhouette saw the bloody Orpheus and Brünhild.

“Who are you?” Kaguya asked warily, ready to strike down the silver-haired girl she was seeing for the first time; if not for how concerned she looked when caring for Orpheus, she would have attacked the spot. For some unknown reason, she was not affected by the pressure coming from Orpheus.

Meanwhile, Brünhild studied Kaguya as the latter did the same thing; in that quick exchange, Brünhild knew she was the winner; she smiled inwardly, shaking her head, thinking now wasn’t the time for these meaningless things, Brünhild replied.

“Master’s woman probably, as you can see, master is unconscious and suffering an intense pain.”

Even though she felt concerned by Brünhild’s grin, she didn’t take it to heart but instead decided to correct a misunderstanding Brünhild seemed to be having.magic

”I’m not his woman but his classmate.”

”I see you are not his woman yet,” Brünhild said, leaving Kaguya speechless.

Without knowing why or what was happening to her body, Kaguya felt her heart hurt as if it had been pricked with a needle when she saw Orpheus’s current appearance; the latter had lost his usual aura.

Kaguya approached Orpheus and Brünhild; Brünhild was surprised by Kaguya, who remained unaffected by the pressure from Orpheus’s left eye.

Even when she racked her brain Brünhild did not find any logical explanation for the current situation; even if Kaguya were to possess a special constitution, she should not be immune to the pressure; the only logical explanation would be that she was more powerful than her, something she was sure it wasn’t the case as Kaguya’s level stated otherwise.

The answer was simple; it was simply because, even unconscious, Orpheus still identified Kaguya’s presence somehow; he knew she would turn into a speck of dust if he didn’t do this and unconsciously protected someone he would need later.

Finally, before the duo, Kaguya crouched down and observed Orpheus’s left eye; for a moment, she was breathless; the purple eye enamored her

“Beautiful.” She muttered, forgetting about the suffering Orpheus

“Indeed, but that is not the point now. The point here is what to do to stop whatever is wrecking his body; it’s probably the fault of this purple eye.”

Brünhild says, breaking Kaguya out of her daydream.

“You’re right, but do you have any solution?”

Kaguya asked, ready to save him; she wouldn’t have him be dying here. He would be working for her in the future; no, the most important reason was she became interested in this man who held so many secrets. She wants to know him more and maybe develop a relationship with him. She is a woman that knows what she wants and wouldn’t shy when it comes to acting to get what she wants. A handsome and capable man is interesting; however, a handsome man with many secrets was more interesting; she felt like Orpheus would make the perfect husband material. However, it would be easy because of her background; maybe it was because of this she had not begun acting knowing how she usually acts.

Kaguya could only sigh inwardly. Sometimes being born into a good family isn’t good. She thought while waiting for Brünhild’s answer.

“No idea, I’m lost, completely lost,” Brünhild replied, eyes filled with worries. Should she use one of her sealing Runes to deal with the eye?

Kaguya became worried after hearing that even this girl with otherworldly beauty didn’t have a solution either.

But as Brünhild’s worry reached its peak, a voice rang in her mind.

“If you care for him, don’t try anything, don’t interfere. Even your sealing Runes won’t be of any help.”

Brünhild’s eyes went left, right, front, back, up and down, searching for the voice’s owner, but she couldn’t find the voice owner.

Kaguya was surprised by Brünhild’s sudden behavior; hence she asked.

“What’s up?”

“Who…are you?” Ignoring Kaguya, Brünhild asked. A pause followed, and finally, the voice’s owner spoke after letting out a chuckle.

*Chuckle*

“How sad, little Hilda seems to have forgotten about me.”

Brünhild’s eyes opened wide before turning Ice cold; only one individual could call her like that, someone she wasn’t a fan of. Still, she must show a little bit of courtesy toward him.

“Greetings, Overlord. This Brünhild pay her respect to one of-”

“Aï, Aï! Please stop it. No need for these shits. You seem pretty angry; I wonder why?” Asked the voice’s owner in a playful tone.

Kaguya, who didn’t receive any explanation, almost labeled Brünhild as demented but decided against it because the latter should have her reasons to act as she did, probably someone was speaking to her alone, feeling it was unnecessary to add her into their conservation, not that she minds, though.

Back to Brünhild, whose face turned colder when she heard what the voice’s owner said.

After taking a few mouthfuls of air, Brünhild spoke in a tone that reminded Kaguya never to anger this silver-haired beauty.

“Since you knew it could come to this, why didn’t you warn him before? I know you must have been observing him for a long time. So, why didn’t you stop him when you knew he wasn’t ready? Why? Why?..”

“Enough!”

The voice’s owner says, interrupting the angry Brünhild who was throwing a tantrum.

“Did you take me for his babysitter? Sorry, I’m not; I’ve already enough on my plate. You, of all people, should know what I have been doing for him. You’re also to blame because today’s situation wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t let him use this room. I was forced to intervene; I’m sure by now that asshole must have learned about him still being alive. It’s good that you have the idea to seal Whity (White castle nicknamed such by the voice’s owner), but It wasn’t enough. Sigh! Let’s stop there.”

Brünhild’s shoulders dropped because she knew she was to blame; how could she not? She just wanted to vent her frustration on the voice’s owner, whose appearance was far too convenient, as if it’d been watching Orpheus’s every step, able to intervene at all times. Not that she doubted this claim, she was sure of it; even her timely appearance after being named by Orpheus was probably this voice’s owner doing. The voice’s owner was watching Orpheus from the beginning. That being the case, why not act before? Why let him suffer like this? Is this part of some of his plans? To let him suffer as his left eye remains open despite his unconsciousness?
