297 – Time Race (2)

The collapse of the Academy in the original was so dangerous that it could not even be described as chaos.

Due to the frenzy, people were busy killing each other, and monsters also joined in, resulting in numerous victims.

It is natural for these repercussions to grow and grow, causing the world to fall into chaos. Even if it turned out to be the work of the devil, it didn’t matter.

Someone said that it was like being pushed off the back while already hanging on the edge of a cliff. It is a time bomb itself, with no idea when it will explode.

And the main culprit who commits these acts is the sodomy devil, the clown. A demon that shows extraordinary brains and a fighting style that matches the concept.

In the original, only one clown comes, but if certain conditions are met, another dark blue demon also appears. That devil is Rust.

To explain Rust simply, she is a succubus queen. The ability is also at a level that makes no sense, but if your gender is male, you get a debuff.

“What do you think? I’m going back to where I was.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it feels like your mind is being tickled with a feather, not your ears.”

Rod calmly opened his mouth to Rust’s suggestion.

Her face was full of caution.

Rust’s debuff effect reduces overall skill proficiency by approximately 5% to 10%. It is a very fraudulent technique.

However, this only applies to the main character who has grown up, and most men will be completely distracted just by looking at it.

Fortunately, the rod is less powerful because it has dark blue magical power. Of course, this does not mean that you can let your guard down.

‘Then where is the clown?’

I looked around. If there is Rust, the clown should also be somewhere.

Above all, it is very unlikely that Rust came alone. Although he is at the top in the mental field, his personal strength is slightly lacking.

Therefore, she will have someone to assist her. In the worst case, a clown may break in.

‘We have to hold on until Rize finishes sorting things out.’

I held Ragnarok firmly. In my heart, I want to bring the Great Sword of Blood.

However, unlike Ragnarok, the Great Sword of Blood is not engraved. You can’t call from far away.

“Hey, I don’t think you know who you are yet.”

“No. I know.”

“Hmm?”

As Rust gently coaxed me, she opened her mouth resolutely. I know that this body is the offspring of the devil.

Without wasting time, I rushed in, holding the axe. Red magic gradually concentrated in the axe.

-Dismissal!

And with it comes the red thunderbolt. Since it is a dark blue devil, there is no need to look at it.

Rust kept his puzzled expression even when I ran right in front of him. I was full of confidence that I could stop it.

“But it won’t go.”

“You know… When did you know?”

“Recently.”

Saying that, she struck the ax hard from top to bottom. If this continues, Rust’s body will be cut in half.

When Rust answered that I knew the truth, he must have been embarrassed and instead of avoiding it, he stood in place.

I wondered if I had put up a shield, but there was nothing. Right before splitting her head in half.

-Kyaang!

Someone’s blade blocked my axe. It is an approach that is not even noticed.

Although the devil is originally a silent entity, it did not make even the slightest sound.

“We met again.”

Blue eyes on the mask. An assassin who uses a black dagger as a weapon.

He was a hunter. As soon as I realized that the hunter had blocked my attack, he took a step back.

I don’t know if I should like the part about the clown not coming. After all, the current situation is conducive for hunters to run wild.

Once the sun has completely set, there is darkness everywhere. There is some light, but it is still not enough.

“What about that guy? Oh, he seems to understand what we’re saying, so speak quietly.”

As expected, he is quick-witted. In response to Rust’s question, the hunter spoke softly.

If they had shown me their mouths, I would have been able to get a rough idea, but I’m not sure because they’re wearing masks.

“Shivar. Is that the devil you mentioned before?”

“Yes. It’s very dangerous.”

“Hmm. That’s a pain.”

Rod had only heard about the hunter, but this was his first time seeing him. A person with skills that no one, even an assassin, can match.

Fortunately, if you are skilled enough to load, you will be able to roughly determine the location even if you hide yourself. Even a hunter will only move if his feet are on the ground.

‘On the other hand, I have no way to cope.’

The most effective method is to cut your hand and spray blood like last time. But that is a tactic that has already been used.

The hunter will notice the moment I harm myself and will move away. Moreover, he will avoid direct confrontation.

‘I have no choice but to trust my intuition.’

The wild instincts must be there to be used in times like this. I held the ax strongly.

Did he even read my mind? Rod put his hand on my shoulder and whispered softly.

“I’ll be by your side to assist you, so you can run wild as you want. I’ll help you make sure that hunter doesn’t get in your way. There’s no need to kill him ourselves.”

Rod brought out a strategic plan. As he said, there is no need for us to kill those demons ourselves.

Isn’t there an anti-devil strategic weapon not far away? Just holding on until she comes is enough.

The so-called race against time. It’s okay to just hold on to their ankles to prevent them from escaping.

‘The primary goal has already failed.’

We haven’t even gotten into a frenzy, and the road is lively. Even Rize is there.

So I had some doubts. Why do they still remain instead of running away?

As Rust said earlier, the fact that she asked to come with him made her look like she was going to get caught.

‘You’ll understand when we fight.’

I rushed straight ahead with that thought. It is advantageous to enter a long-term war, so I have no intention of revealing my full potential from the beginning.

[Into the darkness…]

As I rushed forward, the hunter entered the darkness. Let alone the naked eye, I couldn’t even feel it.

Originally, I should have been on alert, but I trusted Rod. Right now, all I could see was Rust.

“I don’t want to fight.”

“Then just go.”

“That doesn’t work anymore.”

-Whirik

As I swung the ax diagonally, Rust rotated his body once. It’s like dancing.

Then she dresses her fluttered like wings, exposing her dizzying skin.

-Kyaang!

The ax and the dress hit each other. It’s a dress that’s clearly just a piece of cloth, but it feels like it’s been hit with iron.

And then I felt a cool sensation around my ankles. The hunter was checking behind me.

-Chuck!

The coolness did not last long. Rod was watching my back.

I could hear the sound of something being cut, so I guess the hunter must have been cut off somewhere. Of course, since he is a devil, he will regenerate quickly.

“Child, you must not harm my family. “I have no intention of hurting you.”

Rust said and threw her hands up. A bad energy came from beneath her feet.

As soon as I felt that energy, I stepped back. Eventually, the identity of that energy was revealed.

-Quaang!

Black thorns sprouted from the ground. Even if it were me, I would have suffered great damage.

[Bloom.]

The thorn does not disappear immediately. From that thorn, a white flower similar to a rose bloomed.

As soon as I saw the flower, I closed my eyes tightly. If it’s black, you have to cover your nose, but if it’s white, you have to close your eyes.

-Pow!

Heavy drinking that makes your ears deaf. The white flowers act like a kind of flash bomb.

If I had been hit, I would have been unconscious for a few seconds. It’s less so with my eyes closed.

“Hmm?”

As I thoroughly figured out the strategy, Rust showed a curious reaction. I just ignored it and checked the load.

Just as expected. Rod also seemed to sense that something was unusual and he closed one eye. He probably only closed one eye after seeing the explosion.

Even though there was no strategy, I could tell that he had a lot of experience just by looking at him with one eye closed.

-Pazy!

I slowly attacked Rust while holding red thunderbolts in my axe. As I said before, she is not very good at using force.

It is more like a supporter that weakens the opponent by gradually accumulating mental damage. A style that shows its true value not when one is alone, but when there are many.

Even if you don’t have to go far, it’s not easy to approach Rod because of the hunter.

Although he is the best assassin, it is strange that someone as skilled as Lord struggles.

[Come into my arms.]

Rust approached me with her arms spread wide. Her voluptuous breasts and wide hips are in a standout pose.

She brought with it a sweet scent to my nose. As soon as you smell that scent, the surrounding environment changes in an instant.

[My dear child. I want you to come into my arms.]

[Relax.]

[Hehe. Is it here?]

If there were an environment for lust itself, would it be here? The whole place was filled with pure white skin.

Naked Rust surrounds me on all sides. Rubbing your breasts against my body, touching my thighs obscenely, etc.

Even if you are a man who has trained repeatedly, you can’t help but face hallucination magic with your eyes open. It is a magic that can be done with one’s eyes open even in the Soul World.

As I said before, Rust is a succubus queen, that is, a dream. True strength lies in these illusions.

‘Wow… Really.’

I knew the strategy, but when I got beat, I couldn’t do anything for 5 seconds. My hair turns white and I feel like I am filled with lust.

But this is a hallucination. I gathered my wits to get rid of the hallucinations.

The problem is that even if you focus your mind, it is far from possible to solve the hallucinations. Because it was a technology that Rust used deliberately.

‘Then…’

Wouldn’t it be better to wake up your mind rather than just focus your mind?

As soon as the thought occurred to me, I stuck my tongue out of my mouth. And…

-Crack!

I bit my tongue so hard that it was cut in half. It hurts so much that it brings tears to my eyes.

A normal person would have died the moment their tongue was cut in half. Fortunately, I have regenerative powers as good as that of the devil.

“Ahh…”

The hallucination of pure white flesh disappeared, but the thrilling sensation of pain remained. It hurts so much.

I explored my surroundings, feeling tears welling up at the corners of my eyes. It is certain that the hallucination has been resolved.

Then, when she turned her head, Rust, who had cast an illusion spell on me, opened her eyes.

He looks like he doesn’t understand why the illusion magic was released.

“Just like before… How on earth did you know?”

How to know. I figured it out after seeing the strategy.

While Rust was confused, I kicked the ground with both feet. Now it’s my turn.

-Sharp!

“Huh?”

But I couldn’t move forward. I don’t know why, but I had no strength in my two legs, specifically my ankles.

Confused, she turned her head in the direction where she felt the pain. The ankle, or Achilles tendon, is cut cleanly.

“I’m sorry. This was the best.”

“Load?”

“I was caught by a strange illusion spell. It’s been a long time since I felt like this.”

Afterwards, Rod hurriedly approached me. It looks like it ended up like this because it missed the hunter.

No matter how much you are a Lord, it is a magic that you cannot avoid as long as you were born as a man. Wasn’t it even more so the scent?

Fortunately, since he was a swordsman, he came to his senses her right away. If it had been anyone else, the hunter would have cut off his throat her.

‘Still, it was worth it to deliver an effective blow? ‘Why?’

It wasn’t aimed at Rod, it was aimed at me. At least it’s long enough to temporarily neutralize the load.

Besides, it didn’t completely incapacitate me. I limited it to the point where I couldn’t move.

‘······Perhaps?’

Rust’s remarks and his expression that convey a sense of urgency are the same. It feels like everything fits perfectly.

In order to prove the hypothesis, an experiment must be conducted. I whispered to Rod.

“Grandpa. There is a good way.”

“What is that?”

“So…”

I told Rod about the plan. Rod also made a somewhat absurd expression while listening to my opinion.

“Are you sure about that?”

“Yes. About half.”

“Well… I’ll just trust it for now.”

While we are whispering, the other side is also discussing something.

Judging from his confused expression, he seems to have realized that his plan has gone awry. And I immediately started planning.

“Grandpa.”

“Okay.”

“Now!”

The plan is simple. Turning your back and running away.

Instead of running away like normal, the two of us were torn apart and ran away.

“Uh, huh? Oh no! Catch it quickly!”

“Yes.”

The demons seemed very confused and chased after us, as if they didn’t know that we would turn our backs and run away.

And the target they are chasing is me. Both the hunter and Rust followed after me.

‘As expected…’

What they were aiming for was not the road. Rod doesn’t even care.

‘Am I the target?’

Now this is the advantage.
