104 – Escape (3)

Puerto was somehow able to block my attack.

Yeah, it’s not completely blocked.

As much as he had poured the energy he gained through the gloves into this, a huge aftermath hit him, and if only a part of the aftermath touched him, it would have been a fatal wound to him.

Because his clothes were torn, the flesh inside them was burned and even his bones were visible, so Puerto couldn’t even breathe.

It is an unbearable fatal injury.

It’s just that I didn’t die, if I get more shocked here, or if I don’t take care of myself properly, I’ll die right here.

“Hey, this far.”

“what?”

“I’ll stop, you get out of here too, and I’ll let you go too.”

I snorted at his nonsense.

“Letting go? Who said whom?”

“Yeah, save me, if you let me go, I’ll pay you back enough.”

Would you believe that you would repay me and release me quietly?

I’m not the type to leave behind regrets, so I would have killed him long ago.

But there are reasons not to.

already reached the limit.

Even if I die here once, there is nothing strange about my body.

I couldn’t afford to kill Puer by investing my spare energy in order not to leave any regrets.

“…swear by mana.”

“If you want that.”

Puerto immediately swore with mana without questioning whether he really wanted to live.

If he had been a cool-headed transcendentalist, he would have realized that I couldn’t afford it and would have run away right away and lived without needing an oath.

But just as there was no room for me, there was no room for him either.

If you don’t run away now, you will die.

A complex magic circle touches and permeates his circle.

Clearly recognizing Mana’s oath, I nodded and let Puer go.

It happened all of a sudden, but for now it’s for the best.

They turned their backs on each other and moved on.

Soon, I was left alone in the desolate snowfield.

The cold rose from the bones.

“Let’s go back.”

But even as I walked, I felt uneasy inside.

Because I don’t know if the devil will let it go like this.

It’s not heavy snow, but snow is falling from the sky.

The unmelting snow piled up little by little over my shoulders.

**

“Huh-euk… It’s snowing today too.”

Frank was frightened by the heavy snow that was pouring without fail.

She clutched a large book tightly and complained about her life here.

“It snows every day, but it’s not like the building was built for indoor living, is it a real place for people to live?”

But there was no answer coming back.

Clearly Fran was not alone in this seat.

I did have an answer.

Various people clamored like zombies.

“Uhhh…”

“That’s alive. Everyone?”

“Sah, save me.”

Frank remembers that time.

In the midst of the chaotic situation where the demon king takes Argal away, the sword master made a sudden proposal.

I will teach you the sword.

Most of the party is a swordsman, and learning from someone who has reached the pinnacle of swords is a good thing in itself.

Besides, it’s really impossible to attack the castle in this state.

I was staying here like this to wait for Argal.

Then, I see Raeli, who has become half.

Fran did not experience it firsthand, but she vividly witnessed how much hell she had been trained for.

The sword master rolled like hell, to the point where she felt really fortunate to be a wizard herself.

At least to the point where Reinhardt, who was trying to maintain dignity in terms of appearance, made a dying noise.

Reinhardt was not there, but Fran saw vividly how he struggled in pain.

The hero has long since given up dignity.

They were spread out on the floor, blankly gazing into space with soulless pupils.

“…Is it because I’m in the mood to think of Asher?”

“…Are you swearing at me?”

Seeing the crushed hero over there in the corner, Fran said it was like the usual Asher, but Asher answered it.

She was still eating a lot of food.

Fran looked at Asher, who was eating the rice piled up like a mountain on the plate, and asked while wiping his cold sweat.

“How is Asher all right?”

“…Did you do this much when you were young?”

“Isn’t that child abuse?”

Fran was taken aback by Asher’s answer that he had experienced such ascetic training even as a child.

Whether or not Asher reacted like that, he just gulped and ate.

Since Argal was kidnapped, she has been feeling the same way every time.

For Fran, every day is a series of difficulties.

Others were being rolled by the sword master, and Asher, who was fine while rolling, was kidnapped by Argal, and the atmosphere was low in many ways.

As much as Fran was very worried about Argal, she studied and looked at the essence of the extreme that Argal gave her many times.

“…I didn’t know it was this difficult.”

There is an answer right in front of you, but it feels like you are facing an unsolvable problem.

All the formulas and solutions were included, but Fran couldn’t understand it even after watching it several times.

Even though I solved the formula to understand, I don’t even see any sign of moving to the right answer.

But is there any reason to be frustrated here?

While Fran was determined to somehow achieve the ultimate goal and become the archmage, she was taken by surprise.

It was because the warrior who woke up after being spread out was behind her like a ghost.

“Kaka, it’s a surprise. Please show off your face and go!”

“All right….”

She, too, dragged along motionless steps, taking a tray and serving food.

The sight of the hero consuming food gave the impression that he would eat to avoid dying rather than to eat because he was hungry.

Fran, who gulped at these scenes, asked just in case.

“Are you going out for training today?”

“…That’s right.”

“Bone, bone hurts Fran, it seems like the joint is already broken and the bone hurts. It’s broken, right? Is there ever a time when a bone hurts when it’s not even broken?”

Fran doesn’t know how to respond to Raeli’s despair.

Still, I’ll put my head down and try to give you the best advice.

“How about taking a dip in hot water? Wouldn’t the pain get better?”

“I’m doing it every day, Fran… There’s no answer.”

“Well, then I don’t know.”

“Hueeeng…”

Fran sighed as she looked at Raeli, who had fallen face down on the table.

Even so, no one said that they would miss training.

Even though it’s this hard, it’s because you feel the fact that you are weak.

“If you work hard like this, someday, you will be able to defeat an executive like the King of Death.”

“Can we win, can we…?”

“Don’t ask me. I don’t know.”

It’s only hope, but I can’t guarantee that I can unconditionally catch up with the King of Death, who has reached the pinnacle of transcendence.

As much as I felt the overwhelming power gap right in front of my nose.

And when the death king came out, Asher jumped up like a ghost.

“…I’ll go.”

“Bur, already? Mealtime isn’t over yet.”

“Noisy.”

In a way, the King of Death has become Asher’s biggest enemy.

Because I was overwhelmed by him and couldn’t even lift my hand, and I should have watched Argal get kidnapped.

Asher did better than anyone else at pushing himself to the limit, no matter how tired and exhausted his body was.

…but not as good as Argal.

Asher went first, and Raeli whined and followed, and the warrior also dragged on and moved on.

How to bear fruit at the end of penance.

With repetition, some of them will be able to put light in their weapons.

Looking at it, Frank smiled.

I feel proud of the fact that I am taking a small step.

I watched the pouring snow outside.

“…It’s okay. Argal?”

and worry about him

**

At some point, the snow becomes heavy snow and pours.

Even so, I couldn’t stop my steps.

No, maybe this is more familiar.

It wasn’t once or twice that he became an immortal who couldn’t die even if he died, and progressed to a state that was no better than a half-corpse.

However, the worst I had feared was gradually emerging.

It’s such a sure energy.

No one can replace her magic.

When I realized that the demon king was here, I stopped forcibly and stopped on the spot.

“…As expected, nothing is easily solved.”

I expected it to be like this.

But even so, I was hoping things would work out.

However, the knot that has become tangled without being able to untie will come back in the worst form.

The Demon King always appeared the same.

A face full of composure, a confident step.

Next to her are all the executives except for the King of Death and Puerto.

Powers that could wipe out a kingdom if they attacked right now were gathered here.

And what caught my attention was one maid.

I tried to send her as safely as possible, but in the end I was captured by the Demon King.

But I think that’s fine.

Because I’m not dead yet.

But her appearance was different from usual.

Vero had bandages on his eyes.

It was ominous.

too much.

And soon you can’t help but feel it.

My body reached a state of transcendence, even for a moment, and I was able to quickly realize someone’s irreparable loss.

…not her eyes in the bandages.

A breath filled with unbearable anger.

flowed out of the mouth.
