99 – either/or(2)

* * * *

Every time I take a new step, a blade grazes me and black magic rushes in.

The main skill of hiding one’s presence cannot be used, and Evangeline is impossible to escape with all one’s strength.

Even so, little by little, little by little, he takes steps in the direction indicated by Operati Anulus.

The movement of the graceful curves without even hearing the sound of your feet touching the ground.

Just as a dancer character in a game flirts with and dodges an enemy’s attack while dancing, my body draws a curve and escapes the enemy’s attack by a narrow margin.

shhh! hooked

Now even arrows flying at invisible speeds.

I had to predict the trajectory and avoid it by just looking at the archer’s posture at a glance.

“Damn it, there must have been a reason why you didn’t bother touching it. Is that a human move?”

A voice that could be heard faintly due to focusing on the incoming attack. I know you’re talking about me, but I don’t know what it is.

But why?

I don’t feel like their attacks are murderous attacks that are trying to kill me.

Like… I feel like I’m being beaten by a skilled hunter this time, as I was beaten by Lily’s knights before.

‘No way, are you trying to tie me up here?’

Avoiding active engagement with me, and watching quietly, turns my doubts into certainty.

Thinking about it roughly, the reason for that was because I was convinced myself.

From their point of view, I must have thought that I had the power to cut through the sky like a pin.

That’s why he must be attacking me while walking a tightrope from a position where he wouldn’t be attacked.

As time passed, the white thread faded again.

No matter how much I am moving in the right direction, if the speed is like this, what is the difference between running and walking?

If you keep going like this, the best route to save Lily will disappear.

do not do that. I had to make a choice.

I focused my consciousness on my left eye, which moved with a foreign sense.

If I activate the power contained in this eye, I’m sure I’ll be able to escape from their eyes even for a moment.

But if I did, there was a chance that I wouldn’t be able to handle it properly when I got to Lily.

Even now, behold, several episodes have overlapped, and a large number of demons that were likely to appear in the second half have already appeared.

What if the danger to Lily is greater than I expected? What should I do?

There are two options.

One is to keep the power of the prosthetic eye intact and make a bold move at the risk of being hurt.

If I do this, I should be able to run away with Lily even if the danger exceeds my expectations.

Another is to prioritize getting to Lily quickly by unlocking the power of the artificial eye.

This method is a way to believe in the power of Operati Anulus.

The power of Opépati Anulus that if I just follow the direction this thread points to and arrive in time, I will be able to rescue Lily.

food.

‘Come to think of it, it was a problem I didn’t need to worry about.’

Does the country believe in human power?

It is a question of whether or not to believe in the power bestowed by the god who created this world.

Isn’t the answer too obvious?

Whoa!

As soon as I thought I would use the power contained in my prosthetic eye, my whole body was overflowing with vitality.

Right now, I feel like I could be eaten by attacking all the guys in my field of vision.

But it shouldn’t be.

Because this effect doesn’t last long.

“I’ll change my posture for a moment. Master Evangeline.”

“Oh, yes? Yes…!”

Permission will also be lost. I lifted Evangeline’s body and placed her on my shoulder as if carrying a bag of rice.

“Kyaaa?!”

“…If you don’t do this, you will fall.”

“Oh okay.”

He looked a little taken aback, but soon regained his composure and crouched down holding onto my clothes.

The total number of demons surrounding me and Evangeline is 8.

I shot my body in the direction of the weakest of them all, in other words, the one with no noticeable features.

If it’s a guy with a characteristic that I can remember, he’s the top of the top.

It was highly likely that Mine had a rank below 20th.

squeak.

“Keep it off, uh…”

Unlike normal swordsmanship, my sword specializes in inflicting only fatal wounds.

It is a story that, except for the case where the dragon’s steel-hard scales cover the neck, the neck can be dropped immediately the moment an opening is allowed.

“What is that guy, when did he come to Andras…!”

“He’s running away!! I have to catch him!!”

Was this guy Andras?

I remember the name of Andras.

Because this is the guy who ambush Ian after hiding his sword in the story.

Fortunately, the guy I picked was a guy who only used nasty methods and didn’t have a high level of direct force, so he survived.

As it was, Andras stepped on the tree branch he was riding on and quickly ran towards the front.

Even if it’s just one more second, I have to use this vitality.

You can hear the sound of air bursting with each step and leap.

Perong! Perong!

The usual secrecy has long been abandoned.

What’s the use of keeping track of my location with that strange jade-like artifact?

It was discovered anyway, now is the time to run away from them as much as possible.

But this is really, it’s not an easy thing to get in the way of going through the branches.

“I have to catch him somehow…!”

“…Sir! What are you doing now…?!”

The voices of those who have faded quite a bit.

He hurriedly chased after me, but seemed to be unable to keep up with my speed.

I finally had time to care, so I glanced at Evangeline.

I can’t even get scratched by brushing against a branch like this, but Evangeline is a child, so isn’t it different?

‘… What is this?’

But what is this?

The branches that brushed against Evangeline could only feel that they had changed into something quite different from the texture of the trees I knew.

Should the successor who bears the seed of the World Tree be treated differently?

The trees brushing Evangeline’s buttocks and legs just run over her legs like a gentle breeze.

As if he couldn’t dare harm this girl.

The tree branches brushing against me retain their unique tough texture, so they are easily broken and broken, but the handling is very different.

“Evangeline-sama, are you okay?”

I asked to be relieved now that I had some time to spare.

It wasn’t late, but I should take care of it if I can get it now.

“Yes? Ah yes! I’m fine!! Did all the demons run away?”

She asked me if she seemed to have closed her eyes in fear, even though she was in a better position to grasp the demons’ pursuit than I did.

“Yes, maybe if we run away like this a little longer, they’ll chase us…”

Saaak.

I was speechless at the scenery that suddenly appeared.

A wide meadow appeared after passing through a thick forest of trees.

You can see the section where the forest starts again beyond the meadow, but you have to run through the meadow for a few minutes.

Yes, it means that we have to run for a few minutes while letting the enemies know where we are.

Very little now. With just a little bit of time, I could have completely evaded their pursuit.

‘Bonama, that forest must be the beginning of Wiridia’s area.’

He gritted his teeth and jumped toward the meadow.

Can not help it. I can only pray that I can cross the meadow safely.

I prayed earnestly and started to cross the vast meadow.

“Bottis-sama!!! You can’t do that!! The order not to hurt children…!”

“Is that important right now?! That guy looks like he’s going to run away!! There’s an antidote anyway, so don’t miss it and think about it!”

… Botis?

He heard a name he had seen before, so he turned his head to confirm his identity.

An ugly face that is hard to look at with both eyes open.

A unique outfit that wraps around a snake like a scarf and makes the clothes look as tight as snake skin.

All sorts of throwing weapons clung to tight clothes.

It’s a bastard. Botis is right.

The most decisive reason for Irene, who can be said to be the next strongest in the academy after Ian, was captured by Mine.

The 17th ranked Mine who handles extreme poison freely.

Botis started shooting many daggers and arrows at us.

In this vast meadow with no place to escape.

To me and to Evangeline hanging from my shoulder.

A rain of poisonous swords and arrows rushes.

“Ahhh….”

Evangeline, who fell into despair as if she had intuitively sensed death, let out a sigh.

“Evangeline!!”

It is an animal instinct to protect young creatures.

Unknowingly, without even judging, I embraced Evangeline and received those extreme readings.

Attacks that I could have avoided somehow if I had been alone.

hooked! Puff! hooked!

“Turn it off…!”

“Bee, Berry…?”

hot.

The area where the arrow and sword were stuck was so hot I couldn’t even scream.

The venom is so effective that you immediately start to feel short of breath and crave oxygen you don’t need, like hyperventilation syndrome.

“Berry-sama!!!”

Evangeline screams as she looks at me with worried eyes.

Okay. there are still numbers

I barely held my breath and asked Evangeline.

“Evan, Jellyn…draw your sword…stab me in the chest. Quickly…”

I wouldn’t know if my body had even moved, but because it was hardened by the poison, I couldn’t do anything on my own.

“Yes, yes?! My, how could I…”

Evangeline hesitated, shaking her hands.

I didn’t know what was in my heart, so it seemed like my intention wasn’t conveyed properly.

“…”

Now my mouth is so stiff that I cannot speak properly.

“Oh, no, Berry-sama…! No…!”

Evangeline looks at me, not knowing what to do.

Then, he politely puts his hands together and begins to pray with trembling hands.

“We, please, the grace of the great World Tree… this, now…”

hooked!

“Berry-sama!!!!”

As if there was no need for that, a long spear pierced my heart and chest.

At the same time, the sound of a pill bottle breaking was heard.

I looked back at them with a sly smile.

“…That guy killed 20 demons by himself? The load must have been quite an obstacle.”

Botis glances at me in disbelief.

They must have thought that I was slowly dying, but the reality was completely different.

A prayer in an abbreviated form. Even that was cut off midway, but the protection of the World Tree that was bestowed on me.

And the situation in which the lycanthrope potion made by Anna was infiltrated.

The protection of the World Tree not only prevents the further spread of the poison, but rather heals the poison.

Now, all you have to do is bring out the moonlight to cast a shadow over your body.

The heart was healed by the shadow made of blood, but the sword and arrows stuck in the back were different.

“Ah, great world beast…! Please…!”

I continue to pray toward the World Tree, wondering if I don’t know that the protection of the World Tree has been properly granted, or if I’m struggling to somehow save myself.

“W, hey…”

At the same time, a long spear was fired at me again.

What do we do? Should I avoid it?

If I dodge now, Botis might make it rain those countless swords and arrows again.

Even if he wears a shadow, can he perfectly protect Evangeline in the same situation?

The moment I was thinking about it, the long spear rushed right up to me, and I had no choice but to take the long spear down with my body and hit my back… .

Chaeeng!

The heavy sound of iron colliding with iron.

“…This time, are you even risking your life to save a young elf girl?

A voice that oozes stubbornness to the point of being disgusted with it.

“under.”

When I turn my head, I can see Asian-like black hair and red eyes.

“I don’t know if you might need it, but it’s a reinforcement.”

At the same time, the voices of her party members and the loud shouts of the knights of the Justia family were heard.

The student council president of Solus Academy looks down at me with a clear look.

Irene Justia stood firm with her back to me.
