Chapter 44: Verose! You Must Come Back Alive…
***
Although Verose didn’t have mind-reading abilities and didn’t know what Rita and the others were thinking, the rapidly increasing magic levels didn’t lie. They were all won over by her sacrifice.
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she looked at the noble girl Little Lan who had fallen to the ground and instructed, “Wake her up quickly. If something unexpected happens later, she might not be able to escape.”
“Oh, right.”

Rita was stunned, awakening from her emotional state. She hurriedly got up and walked to Little Lan’s side, trying to wake up the unconscious girl.
Verose, however, felt a twitch in the corner of her eye, feeling a great loss.

She had been too immersed in her act earlier and forgot about this fainted girl. Since she didn’t witness her sacrifice, she would miss out on a lot of praise, which made Verose feel even more pained than if she had been beaten.
After Little Lan woke up and heard Rita’s explanation, she first apologized to Verose and then expressed her gratitude. But the level of gratitude was indeed incomparable to that of Rita and the other girl.
Gradually, the 4 of them sat down in a circle. The pig-man monster was still violently charging at the magic circle of the reading room, seemingly unwilling to give up until it had devoured all 4 of them tonight.
“So what should we do now?” Little Lan asked nervously.

“How about escaping through the window?”
Rita remembered where they had come from. She got up and walked to the window, looking out at the pitch-black courtyard. She couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine.
The shadows of the trees were swaying, and eerie cries could be heard incessantly. How come she hadn’t noticed how terrifying this path was when they came?
Verose explained, “The outside of the window is the front yard of the library. Unless you’re confident you can outrun this kind of monster, jumping out would only turn you into monster food.”

“Moreover, no one knows if there are other monsters in the library’s front yard. It’s very dangerous to leave here without caution.”
Her words made Rita’s delicate body tremble. She instinctively moved further away from the window and once again looked to Verose for help.

“Then what should we do?”
“Don’t worry, it’s absolutely safe inside the reading room. Now we just need to stay here and wait slowly for someone to come and rescue us.”
Verose wasn’t worried at all that this monster would break through the magic barrier and rush in. After all, this was magic set by the Great Sage. If any random monster could get in, Lyla might as well abdicate now!
As she was saying this, the pig-man at the door finally stopped charging at the magic barrier. However, it still hadn’t given up. It lowered its body and began blowing cold air into the room.
This was one of the magic abilities of pig-men. The cold air they blew out was extremely frigid, capable of preserving food and also killing prey.
The door of the reading room was instantly covered with a layer of ice crystals from its cold breath. The walls and bookshelves near there also began to ice over. The temperature in the room dropped several degrees in an instant.

Seeing this, Rita and the others quickly got up from the ground and hid in the place furthest from the door. But even so, they still hugged their arms, shivering from the cold.
Verose hadn’t expected that Lyla’s magic barrier could only prevent monsters from entering the reading room but couldn’t block the cold air they spewed out.
If they had known earlier, they should have closed the door of the reading room. This way, it would have taken much longer for the cold air to enter.
Little Lan and Rita hugged each other for warmth, but Little Lan’s face was turning paler and paler.
She was the most timid among them and also the most afraid of death.
“What do we do now? If this continues, we’ll freeze to death!”
Еňu m̌а̇ .ĭ d̄
She was right. If they didn’t come up with any countermeasures, they would soon be frozen to death by the cold air blown out by the pig-man. By the time someone came to rescue them, it would be too late.
Thinking of this, Verose left Rita’s side and walked towards the back door of the reading room. But Rita and the others had already considered her their savior. As soon as she left, her wrist was grabbed by Rita.

“What are you going to do, Verose…”
“She’s right. If this continues, we’ll only freeze to death. So, someone needs to go out and lure away this monster.”
She turned her head to look at Rita, speaking very casually.
But Rita and the others felt their hearts sink, knowing how bold this plan was.

With their physical condition, going out to lure away this monster was almost no different from sending themselves to death. And Verose stepping up at this moment clearly meant she wanted to lure it away herself.
She would die.
“I won’t let you go!” Guilt and emotion occupied the high ground of reason in her heart. Rita held onto her wrist tightly and shouted with red eyes.
If it were Verose without injuries, the possibility of escaping from the monster’s clutches might be a bit higher. But now that she was severely injured, there was no way she could escape from the pig-man.

Rita didn’t want to watch her savior die in front of her eyes once again for the sake of saving her.
Seeing her reluctance, Verose stepped forward and gently stroked her hair, then grasped her wrist in return, making her let go.

“If I don’t go, are you going? Listen, you have never dealt with monsters before. If you go out like this, you’ll only die in their mouths.”
“But, but your body hasn’t recovered at all…”
“Trust me.”
She looked into Rita’s eyes, trying to give her as much reassurance as possible, speaking with a hint of firmness.
“I’ve encountered some monsters before and know how to avoid them. I’ll be fine. You just stay here obediently and wait for her to come and rescue you.”
Having said that, she didn’t wait for Rita’s reaction and walked straight to the back door, because if she didn’t lure away this monster soon, the temperature in the room would drop to a terrifying level.

Rita and the others couldn’t hold on for too long.
Arriving at the door, Verose hadn’t made any move when she heard Rita shout from behind.
“Verose!”
She turned back in surprise to find the girl biting her lip, with crystalline tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
“Promise us, you must, must come back alive…”
“Mm, I promise you.”
E n̄ ũ m̀ а.і d̃
She answered softly, like a loved one whispering goodnight in their ears as they fell asleep at night, afraid of disturbing the girl’s beautiful dream.
Letting them live on was the beautiful dream Verose gave to them.

Throwing the book in her hand hard at the monster at the front door of the reading room, Verose said “Come chase me” and quickly ran towards the depths of the corridor.
The monster was obviously irritated by her action. It panted heavily and lumbered after her.
With the source of cold air gone, the temperature in the reading room began to gradually rise.
But Rita and the others couldn’t smile.

They slumped on the ground, feeling that they were too despicable, so despicable that they actually let an injured girl go to attract the monster outside for them.
What experience in dealing with monsters, understanding monsters better than them… Verose was about the same age as them, where would she have so much experience?
She said that probably just to comfort them.
If she went out, she would likely die too.

Yet they agreed to let her go and attract the monster in this condition.
Mainly because they were afraid of death.

Because they were afraid of death, no one really stood up to stop her, they knew very well in their hearts.
But the clearer they were about this, the more despicable they felt.
