“hahahaha, that’s troubling.”

Ulla broke out in a cold sweat and spread her wings. Eleanor was running towards him without hesitation.

The basic of sniping is to remain undetected.

Now that they’ve already been caught, the sniper’s role is no different.

From now on, there was a good chance it would be a sloppy fight she didn’t like.

‘It’s not that the medicine doesn’t work.’

Ulla glided down the hallway and watched Eleanor charge. My legs are shaking as if my consciousness is interrupted in the middle.

The effect of anesthesia was correct. I’m just suppressing it with willpower.

“… … Does that make sense?”

isn’t that a monster

It’s probably not a drug that can be done with willpower. It doesn’t feel sleepy. It cuts off consciousness.

As long as you are a human or a creature, you cannot be without medicinal effects.

“Chit.”

Ula changed the tan. A non-lethal bullet is the same, but it will hurt much more than a sedative bullet.

“Anyway, it’s a rubber bullet… … .”

Even so, as long as it’s a bullet that uses gunpowder, it should be possible to stop the opponent’s charge.

She controlled her breathing while maintaining a glide using her wings.

There is no wind, so there is no shaking.

Her body gliding at a constant speed was much more stable than shooting on the ground.

The speed at which you fall, the recoil you will receive in the air. After calculating all of that, Ula pulled the trigger.

bang!

Her body jumped a little from the recoil.

As the height increased, the gliding speed also increased.

Perfect, her own way of fighting while widening the distance.

“As expected, it wouldn’t be that easy if it wasn’t a first strike.”

Eleanor ducked to avoid Ulla’s sniping.

After being caught in the first place

As long as you anticipate an attack, it is natural to respond.

Normal people would hide, but warriors like Eleanor can react to the bullets themselves.

He has such physical abilities.

“still… … .”

What if it’s multiple feet instead of just one?

The characteristic of the shooter is that it can use fast and intense blows at low cost. You can accumulate the most damage compared to the same amount of time.

Who the hell can lightly fend off such an attack?

bang! bang! bang! bang!

Ula pulled the trigger in succession. Of course, the precision will be reduced by that much. But it’s okay.

‘If it’s a straight line corridor like this, I can’t avoid all of them.’

The evidence was right in front of my eyes.

Several of her bullets struck the limbs of the charging Eleanor.

“Kuk!”

“Yes, it must hurt enough to let out a scream… … .”

Ulla clicked her tongue at Eleanor’s drool echoing in the hallway.

Even though it was a mission, there was no way it would feel good to shoot Eleanor, whom he considered a friend.

“… … So stop giving up and fall down. Noah.”

Anesthesia is holding. that’s for sure Enduring with superhuman mental strength will eventually have its limits.

If she can buy time until then, this match is her victory.

“hahahaha… … .”

“… … .”

But Eleanor laughed.

Ula seemed to get goosebumps seeing Eleanor like that.

‘Again. Our eyes met again… … .’

I’m sure I have an overwhelming advantage, but I feel intimidated for no reason.

“It was you… … . Cry.”

“Ugh?!”

got caught

In fact, being caught was quite predictable.

She initially built a relationship with Eleanor through Lucia’s introduction.

It wouldn’t be strange if he suspected that she was Lucia’s colleague.

But at this moment, at this timing, calling her name was quite suffocating.

“stop… … .”

Her relationship is light.

seeking such a relationship. But just because you’ve built that relationship doesn’t mean you’re not friends.

Who in the world would enjoy hurting a friend?

She seeks a relationship where she can say hello when they meet on the street someday. That’s why I don’t want the relationship itself to be smashed.

“stop… … !”

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

Her rifle continues to fire. They fired bullets indiscriminately to stop them somehow.

‘why? how the hell why?’

However, she couldn’t help but doubt her own eyes as she held the trigger.

‘Why doesn’t the distance widen?!’

distance does not widen

On the contrary, the distance between them was getting smaller and smaller.

Her light body was gliding faster than before due to the recoil of the bullet.

As a result, the accuracy decreased, but it was enough to overwrite it.

The opponent couldn’t block all the bullets and allowed himself to be hit several times.

However, the distance is narrowing. In other words, Eleanor’s speed is faster than her gliding speed, faster than the time she stood still stiff from being hit.

It’s nonsense.

“Keugh!”

Ulla opened her eyes and looked at Eleanor running towards her. Her eyes began to take on a strange light.

Her skill [Find Weakness].

Literally, the ability to identify an opponent’s weaknesses.

“What?!”

And Ula, who grasped Eleanor’s appearance through that gaze, hurriedly removed her eyes from the scope.

It was so amazing. It was hard to believe my own eyes.

“What the hell… … .”

Eleanor’s condition seen through the scope.

“What makes you do that… … ?”

Whole body weakness.

Eleanor was already pushing herself to the limit.

“A bond with you!”

“Ugh?!”

Seeing Eleanor approaching, Ulla bit her lip and closed her eyes. mission failed.

she gets hit here

“You’re making me move so that I won’t be cut off!”

At Eleanor’s words, Ulra seemed to see chains linking him to her.

It’s so hard and you can’t break it.

‘ah… … .’

chain of ties.

‘This won’t get you far… … .’

No matter how hard they struggled, the distance did not go far because Eleanor was holding on to the chain and pulling it with all her might.

So, wouldn’t it be possible to get farther away?

Ula, she hasn’t let go of that chain either.

“Haaa!!”

Eleanor’s greatsword, which she swung with all her might, blew away the rifle Ulla was holding.

The shooter lost his gun.

It’s a complete defeat.

“… … Lucia is at the end of this hallway, Eleanor.”

“Yeah, thank you for letting me know. I’ll buy you a meal later!”

“hahahaha… … .”

Not the power of the key, but the power of the will.

It was Eleanor’s first victory on her own.

* * *

“Awesome. Discre Punisher.”

It was power.

I was thinking of squeezing all my mana and driving him into a corner.

Yes, it would be safe to say that he rushed in with the intention of killing him.

The reason he changed [Prometheus]’s flame into [sacred fire] was because he had no intention of controlling his power.

“Your victory.”

The opponent’s attack did not reach, and my attack was enough to inflict a fatal wound.

It was a one-sided attack.

The sparks that were deployed with all their power engulfed the discrees again and again.

However, all mana was consumed and the flame faded.

In the current situation, if Diskrae attacks, I lose without being able to respond.

He may show off his fighting skills as a last resort, but the opponent in front of him is no different from my teacher.

It is still too early to aim for Cheongchuleoram.

“Is that what the spirit of the Myungkyungsoo means?”

“Myungkyung index? It’s a federal word.”

The blue flame faded, and Discre quietly appeared.

If this was a real battle, I would have been torn apart by his sword.

But killing is forbidden. It became a situation where the winners and losers were reversed.

I simply ran out of mana, but Diskre moved violently to avoid the flames, and was even swallowed by the flames a few times.

The flame of the [Holy Fire] could change its nature from attacking to healing at any time, so I didn’t add or subtract anything.

“Will you surrender quietly?”

“If it took this much time, it would have dragged on a lot.

“… … .”

lost the fight

But in the game, I won. If that’s the case, it’s safe to say that I’ve done everything I can.

“ha… … .”

Discre sighed deeply at my calm attitude.

It looks pretty tired.

“… … There is one more elite agent on our side inside.”

Of course you will.

I had figured out the location of the other ＜Tenebris＞ in advance. The only one whose whereabouts are unknown is Ulla, an elite agent.

However, the fact that her whereabouts cannot be found is tantamount to telling her where she is.

“Ullaro will not be able to stop Eleanor.”

“… … Her skills can’t beat Agent Ulla.”

“That’s your idea.”

This guy is rational and objective. But that’s why you don’t know.

“Eleanor is more infiltrated among your agents than you thought.”

Emotions play a huge role in winning or losing.

He knows how to control his emotions, but will the other agents?

“Agent Ulla is not preoccupied with personal feelings.”

“really?”

One step closer to the guy.

Even though mana is exhausted, [Contemplation] is still alive.

I can foresee the shaking of the diskre.

“Do you really think so? I can see that even you are worried like this, so do you think Ulla will be able to react indifferently?”

Eleanor’s affinity is unmatched by anyone.

This guy is an outlaw who breaks into your heart before you know it.

“Ula will lose to Eleanor. And Eleanor will reach Lucia, and who knows how that will change her.”

It’s not that Eleanor is treated as the main character for nothing. He’s a reckless guy who doesn’t make rational choices and leaves his body to his emotions, but that’s why he succeeds.

Being able to run towards your goal without thinking about your own losses is definitely a great weapon.

“Eleanor von Chrysos… … . She is so immature. What difference does it make if you can reach Lucia?”

“We’ll have a few conversations.”

“therefore? What next? Do you think you can run away from the Empire? There is only now. Now is the only reason to keep her away from His Majesty’s eyes.”

Discre is afraid of the Emperor. Well, it’s a natural thing.

Aren’t you the ruler of this huge Helios Empire?

That alone is considered to be in a very high place.

You can know how terrifying his power is because he directly rose to the position of commander of the corps.

“Don’t you know? Nothing will change.”

“Yeah, that’s what kids do after all. Even Eleanor, not me, would know that the reality is not so easy that it would be different just by having a conversation.”

No matter what conversations we had, no matter what persuasion we finished. The results do not change.

It is Discrea who makes the decision. As long as Lucia doesn’t want to throw everything away, she can’t reject Discre’s decision.

“You said it before. kids are kids So what about adults?”

“… … .”

“Discrete Punisher.”

The guy is for Lucia.

great family love But that must have been a unilateral coercion until now.

“What do you want is a doll-like figure of Lucia living in broad daylight, free from this muddy surface? Or is it a picture of a family living happily?”

“… … .”

“If you want the former, what you are doing may be right. Since it is difficult, it can be said that it is right to have an adult guide you.”

But what if he wants the latter, not the former?

The guy made a choice once.

When Lucia came to spill information about ＜Tenebris＞ to me, I should have respected Lucia’s choice.

“A child is still a child, so he can grow. Forcing adulthood on a child who is not yet ready to become an adult… … .”

Yes, he knows.

I know, but right now I’m just wandering around.

Lucia is still going through many changes. I finally found color in my emotionless life.

She will change in the future.

No one knows what direction it will go. However, Discree decided to accept the change gladly.

“Isn’t that really not being a grown-up?”

As a child becomes an adult, he puts up with many things.

A person who can endure will become an adult. But you can’t grow just by being patient.

I become an achromatic adult.

Yes, like the Discre Punisher that exists right in front of your eyes.

A being who endures everything becomes numb.

“So you’re saying let’s see a future where it’s obvious we’ll make foolish choices?”

There is no human who does not fail. There is no human being who cannot fail.

Those who cannot learn to grow from there will only become achromatic.

“If you want to advise, so be it; if you want to interfere, so be it. But don’t force it unilaterally.”

People have to experience failure.

Through failure, you must know how to commit to the following.

You learn to be patient.

And that’s learning how to get better.

“If you don’t intend to spend the rest of your life with Lucia, you should teach Lucia how to choose.”

“… … .”

It’s like learning to ride a bike. You learn by falling.

If you don’t practice, just watch, you won’t know how to do it.

You won’t know until you try it yourself.

“What an adult can do is not ride a bike for you. They put wheels to help with that, and they push the back.”

And adults should know that they have to let go of that hand that pushed them back someday.

“It’s time to stop wandering around, Discre Punisher. Now go back to the path you decided once.”

Because you still have enough room to go back.
