The Strongest Brother Lost His Memory-Chapter 13Vol 2.

Zahid brushed his fingertips once more and spoke slowly.

“Her Majesty the Empress Dowager said that we should go down to the underground ourselves and summon the high-ranking priests with strong divine power.”

“Sigh, Sir Payton.”

Linna shook her head and chimed in with Zahid.

“You know, right? Her Majesty the Empress Dowager... Let’s not make things hard for each other and just cooperate a bit.”

The fact that she even knew the name of the Holy Knight wearing the Holy Knight Commander’s uniform meant that Linna really was closely tied to the Temple.

“But ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) we also have our orders. This is difficult, Lady.”

Well, I figured they’d respond like this.

Because down there, along with the high-ranking priests, is the massive weapon, Karso.

No way they’d ever show it to us.

“We just fought the Holy Knights. Of course we got seriously hurt. Even after going down, there were doors with security features over and over again, it was hell to get through, and after breaking through them, we just chucked orb bombs and set the place on fire, and...”

Hearing Zahid’s story before the regression, it really was a miracle they only got that badly injured.

“Then...”

Amidst the tense atmosphere, I stepped forward.

“How about the highest-ranking person here goes down instead?”

The Holy Knight called Sir Payton looked at me like, “What’s a mere maid saying?”

Of course, I was so damn used to that look it didn’t even faze me, and I kept talking without missing a beat.

“We need something to say when we go back up too. For a harmonious life, we all need to take a step back and compromise.”

“Right, right! Heidi’s totally right! How are you so smart?”

Even Linna backed me up, and Sir Payton let out a heavy sigh. Then he clicked his tongue and slowly walked over to Linna’s side.

“My Lady, you seem to be enjoying yourself.”

It was a very low whisper, but standing right next to him, I could hear everything clearly.

“The Duchess of Idra must be waiting for you eagerly.”

At that moment, Linna’s whole body tensed up.

‘What the hell?’

I frowned.

I’d heard that Linna’s mother, the Duchess of Idra, had become very frail after giving birth to Linna and was living secluded in a villa.

People said the reason the Idra Duchy knelt to the Temple so quickly was because they needed to surround the Duchess with as many high-ranking priests as possible.

Anyway, she was too sick to mingle in high society, but I’d known her to be one of those fortunate invalids, enjoying all the luxury she could while clinging to her priests.

‘It sounds like a normal greeting, but Linna’s reaction is off.’

As Linna stiffened, Payton gave her a slight bow. Then he slowly turned around and began descending the stairs.

Not missing the moment, I exchanged glances with Zahid.

From the second I told Payton to “go down yourself,” it was like he could read my mind.

He lowered his body and whispered to Fire.

“Now, Fire. You can do it, right?”

Fire met my eyes. And when Sir Payton personally unlocked the complex lock and opened the iron door—

I took off the ring. Then I placed my hand on the hull and started pouring all my divine power into it. At the same time, every magical device on the Entoho stopped working.

“What, what the hell!”

“What’s going on!”

The Holy Knights shouted in confusion. It was because everything suddenly went dark.

It was already close to sunset.

This place was underground, so not much light came in anyway.

Zahid quickly shoved a pouch into Fire’s mouth. Inside the pouch were small orb-shaped bombs.

Grabbing the pouch, Fire pushed Sir Payton aside and rushed into the iron door.

“Argh! What the hell is this!”

“Catch it! Catch it now!”

“It’s fine, the security doors... Ah, those are magic devices too!”

While the chaos and shouting echoed from inside, smoke began to rise.

Fire was breathing flames, burning through the wooden walls and doors as he stormed inside.

And then—

“Myaaaaaoooooong!”

The black cat Divine Beast was coming from afar.

It had definitely been sleeping in Linna’s room earlier, but it had appeared in the blink of an eye.

“Myaaaaooooong!”

<This way!>

Then it looked at Linna, gestured with its paw to follow, and took off running.

“Cash! It’s dangerous! Come here! What’s going on! Where are you going now!”

Linna, wide-eyed, started chasing after Cash.

“Myaaaaooooong!”

<Idiot! It’s more dangerous here!>

“Why is it going to a dangerous place! No! You hate water!”

But I couldn’t help but admire Cash’s insight. Because where Cash was heading—was toward the lifeboats.

Amazingly, as Cash ran out, it turned to me and cried once more.

This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.

“Yaoooong!”

<Linna’s fine, don’t worry!>

Wow, that Divine Beast is smart as hell...

And the moment Linna took off after Cash, explosions started ringing out from below.

It had to be that Fire made it underground, scattered the bombs he carried, and lit them up.

In that inferno, the one who could move the most freely would be Fire.

‘That’s why Ray didn’t bring Athena. If Athena were here, she’d at least have to pretend to put out the fire.’

At the same time, I took my hand off the ship and put the ring back on. Slowly, the magical devices on the ship began working again.

“Run!”

And while the Holy Knights were still scrambling, I bolted.

I hadn’t gone far before my body was suddenly lifted. Zahid had picked me up and was running.

“Heidiiii! No! You bastard! That’s my maid!”

And unbelievably, Linna, glancing back from afar, shouted with fire in her eyes.

“Bring Heidi over here, now!”

Of course, no matter how attached Linna had started getting to me, the Divine Beast came first.

‘Linna will be fine... If she goes that way, she can get on a lifeboat right away. Probably the fastest?’

After Linna disappeared from view, I hugged Zahid tightly and cheered.

“It worked!” ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Now everyone on the ship was in complete disarray.

With the sudden shutdown of the magical devices and the constant explosions from below triggering the fire alarms, it was chaos.

“It really worked, right? Didn’t it?”

“Yeah, but before that...”

The lower levels had started collapsing, and water was rushing in—now the Entoho was beginning to tilt.

“Let’s just survive first, Rosie.”

Zahid held me tight and gave a slight smile.

“I’ve never wanted to live like this more than now.”

And he strode up the stairs at a ridiculous pace.

Even as the ship tilted more and more, slowly beginning to sink, his solid body didn’t waver for a second.

It was technically a disaster, but I felt proud.

Now Karso would sink forever into the sea.

We’d stopped the High Priest’s horrific plan to blow up cities under the guise of “divine punishment.”

Even if they tried to build another one, it would take over ten years.

“I figured we’d get injured at least, honestly...”

Even now, he whispered with a hint of laughter.

“I didn’t expect us to get through without a scratch.”

It would’ve been dangerous if it wasn’t for my divine power stopping all the magical devices.

Thanks to the Empress Dowager’s madness and Linna coming along, we avoided fighting the Holy Knights too.

“You always show up when I’m in the most danger, Rosie Noart.”

The loud blaring of the fire alarms, the screams of the panicked people, the deck slowly tipping.

Through all that mess, Zahid’s face was suddenly close, his back to the now pitch-black night sky.

We’d already reunited earlier, but finally, now we were alone.

“I’ve waited for you so long.”

His voice, deep like I remembered from before his voice changed, whispered.

“I’ve missed you, Rosie.”

Looking straight into my eyes, he slowly let the pipe in his hand fall to the floor with a clatter.
