305 – Chaos (1)

“Ugh…”

“Gwae, are you okay?”

“The injured come here!”

A major attack by monsters following the neutralization of the monument. Because of this, the academy was not in an uproar.

At first, we were able to prevent it with proper personnel deployment and Rize’s performance, but problems arose from Rize’s absence.

When Rize went to various places to provide support, only easy monsters appeared. But from then on it was difficult.

Orc champions, gnoll chieftains, goblin hordes led by hobgoblins, etc. The higher-ranking entities flocked in like a pack of dogs.

Fortunately, there were no major casualties as the professors remained, but the number of injured continued to rise and we had no choice but to be stranded.

“Hehe… Hehe…”

“Are you okay?”

After the situation was roughly settled, Luna asked Grace who had fallen to her floor.

There were many people around, but it was Grace lying on the ground. It seemed like he didn’t care about the dignity and naivety of an aristocrat.

“I feel like I’m going to die…Hehe…”

“So, build up your stamina.”

“I’m a wizard… Wow…”

Grace, who had run out of not only her magic but also her stamina, answered. It seems like I don’t even have the strength to lift a finger.

Now that the defense line has been formed, the importance of magicians like Grace will inevitably increase. It’s no wonder I’m exhausted.

But now I can no longer borrow her her her power her from her her her her. Luna turned her head and looked the other way.

‘Luckily no one died?’

At least there is no main training ground. There were several people who were seriously injured, but they were treated with Erica’s first aid.

The problem is the monster that will come next. Unless the monument is restored, monsters will continue to invade.

I was surprised that Rize did not return, and more than anything, I was worried about Sivar.

‘Even though there is a president…’

Even though I was fully prepared, the devil is the devil. Just like disabling the monument, there is no way to predict what they will do.

Moreover, didn’t a lightning strike that could not even be described as huge come down a little while ago? After that, a meteorite fell.

Fortunately, the meteorite disappeared shortly after, but it was still unsettling.

‘Will it help if I go?’

Luna thought deeply within herself. Objectively speaking, her own skills are somewhat lacking.

Kara and Shivar can at least play a role close to ‘support’, but it seems like even if he goes, he will only be a hindrance.

Above all, you never know when and where a monster will pop out. There is no correct information.

‘········Okay. I will only be a hindrance.’

It was just the moment I made up my mind and was about to secure my seat.

[Faith declines.]

A message was printed in her field of vision. She’s similar to what I saw before, but this time she’s different.

Normally, it should rise, but this time it fell. Luna looked at her message with her doubts.

‘What? Why suddenly?’

Why has faith declined? Just in case you don’t know, there was no god I really believed in.

So when this first appeared, I thought it was a hallucination. It didn’t take long for him to realize that it was because of his eyes.

The problem is that we have no idea how, why, or when it happens. Luna tilted her head.

‘Are you telling me not to think negatively?’

[Faith rises!]

This time, a positive response came out. Luna thought for a moment and then turned her head.

This is the sparring ground where a meteorite just fell. At this, she muttered quietly to herself.

‘Are you telling me to go help?’

[Faith rises!]

That’s right. Luna had an expression that said she had experienced all sorts of strange things.

Anyway, isn’t this a bit much? She would rather flip a coin.

‘It’s not bad?’

Since she’s worried like this, let’s ease her mind by flipping a coin.

No matter what choice she made, it seemed like she would have regrets. She looked around and got one of her silver coins.

‘Heads stay here, tails go to support.’

-Ting!

The bounced silver coin spun around and fell down. Luna left it alone without catching it in the middle.

She then looked at the silver coin that had fallen on the floor.

The silver coin was exposing her her backside her.

“Um…”

It must be a coincidence. Luna took her silver coins and walked toward her sparring hall.

Before she went to the sparring hall, she didn’t forget to say something to Grace.

‘It seems like there is no pulpit…’

It felt uncomfortable in many ways, but I immediately shook it off. The important thing now was to support Sivar.

Fortunately for her, there was nothing on the way to Dalian.

She was never attacked by monsters or demons.

Eventually, she arrived near Dalian without any problems, but she noticed something strange.

“Huh? What is this?”

Luna’s eyes widened. Isn’t there a single curtain surrounding the entire sparring hall?

When I looked closely, I saw that it was a curtain shining purple. She didn’t notice because the sparring hall lights were on.

She looked at the tent for a moment and then took out a silver coin just in case. She then lightly threw the silver coin toward the tent.

-Sook!

The silver coin went into the tent very easily. But the problem is next.

Isn’t the silver coin falling sideways as if gravity were reversed? I barely stopped after hitting the wall.

It seemed like something unusual was happening inside there. Luna steeled herself and took her steps.

“Wow!”

-Quaak!

As soon as she put her foot inside the tent, she was almost thrown over. It’s a shame she stuck her sword so urgently, otherwise she would have fallen.

She sighed in relief for a moment and carefully made her way down. Since she had no equipment, she had no choice but to go down carefully.

‘······Can we arrive on time?’

Suddenly a thought occurred to me.

******

-Suddenly. Took.

Blood drips. Bright red and sticky blood.

Bright red blood covering the entire purple window. I watched him blankly and then looked away.

The white shirt with the purple window sticking out slowly began to turn red. The white shirt that Rod always loves.

“Mmm…!”

While I was dazed, Rod started a counterattack, even though he was sobbing.

The blade broke in half because it failed to block the purple spear. The blade was essentially spinning around in the air.

-Kwasik!

Rod grabbed the blade with his bare hand and stabbed it into Lie’s neck. It is a natural movement like flowing water.

However, the opponent was a devil, a purple devil at that. Although he stabbed his neck with the blade of a sword he held with his bare hands, it would not have caused much damage.

As if to prove this, Lie obediently retreated with the blade stuck in his neck. At the same time, the spear that had pierced Rod’s body was also recovered.

-Phew!

As soon as the window blocking the exit was removed, red spread all over my shirt. As you can see, it is a serious wound.

I wanted to get up somehow, but I couldn’t because gravity was still bent at 90 degrees. Only Rod stands on two legs.

“Ha, grandpa.”

“It’s okay. I only got stabbed in the side.”

When I asked with a trembling voice, Rod answered. Unlike me, his voice is calm.

As he said, the worst situation was avoided, but the problem is the purple window. In Soul World, purple is the ‘instant death’ pattern.

Even if it is not a direct hit, survival is absolutely not guaranteed due to the ‘curse’. Even if it is a person with great skill who has reached the level of sodomy.

In other words, as of this moment, the load is virtually time-limited. That fact began to tighten my heart.

“There was no need for me to come forward… But I came forward for no reason and all I did was undermine my name.”

Lie said, wiping the blood off the window. The response is that they are the same.

A vivid appearance compared to the effective hits so far. The devil’s strengths were clearly revealed.

Purple cannot be killed unless its heart is completely shattered or destroyed with divine power.

“I don’t understand. Why are you trying to sacrifice someone who isn’t even your child just because you gave them affection?”

“Well.”

-Wow!

As soon as the Lord answered briefly, a change occurred in his broken sword.

At first, it seemed like an intangible energy was creeping out, but soon it was gradually covered in indigo.

An intangible energy that will soon take on a fully formed form. The energy completely took the shape of a ‘sword’.

Rod slowly took a stance and then answered the lie’s question.

“Humans are beings who cannot even understand themselves, so how can they answer that?”

“That’s a good answer.”

As if he liked it, Lie grinned and knocked on the ground with his spear.

-Tap!

As soon as he hit the ground, Lie’s face changed. Unlike before, it looks like he doesn’t like it at all.

“That makes me angry.”

-Kwagwagwagwang!!!

A huge wall rose from the ground. A stone wall that completely blocks the gap between Lie and Rod.

-My own work!

However, Rod seemed not to care and tore the wall to pieces with incredible speed.

A speed that I can barely catch with my eyes. Even though the curse is slowly eating away at his body, his skills have not diminished at all.

“I can’t even understand it myself, so why do I have such a selfish heart?”

Behind the noise of the collapsing wall, a false lament reached my ears. It’s a nuance that I can’t understand at all.

Meanwhile, Rod did not respond and continued to press the lie. Lies are almost at the level of defense.

[Land! Soar forward!]

Of course, not everyone was focused on defense. Even the ground rising wasn’t enough to track the rod.

Rod cuts them all down one by one or steps on them like he’s skating. He used all of his experience and strength.

-Pump!

“Big!!”

But is my body getting heavier? Or is my stamina gradually being consumed?

The frequency with which the body receives attacks that would have originally been cut or avoided has increased. Even now, the rock hit my abdomen.

I watched it and urgently retrieved Ragnarok. And then slowly crawled towards the lie.

I can’t just sit back and watch like this. I plan to hold on to the feet of lies.

“It was clearly nothing more than a red monkey, but it wasn’t long before it chased me right under my chin. And my desire also grew exponentially.”

-Growl!

A huge vortex of flames engulfed the road. He cut the whirlpool in half with his sword, but was unable to stop the heat.

Thanks to this, my pure white hair became tanned due to aging, and large and small burns appeared all over my body. Damage is gradually accumulating.

“Humans are no more than animals. If you give them intuitive power, they will eventually be drawn to it. He even goes as far as ripping off the wings he built himself.”

“··· ···”

Rod didn’t answer any more. Because at some point, I stood confidently in the face of lies.

However, his appearance could not be said to be fine even with empty words. On the contrary, it is a total disaster itself.

The bleeding that started from the side had already stained the entire shirt. No matter how loaded you are, if all your blood drains, you die.

Normally it would have stopped the bleeding, but the curse had even prevented the bleeding.

“That’s a lot to say. “I lost to such a person.”

“··· ···”

-Whoosh!

Rod grinned and plunged his sword into Lie’s heart. It truly shows what fighting spirit is.

Did Lies also have nothing to say about Road’s factual violence? He had an expressionless expression and didn’t say anything.

-Sharp!

Rod stumbled and then fell to one knee. The broken sword was still held in his hand

Now even the intangible energy that glowed indigo has completely disappeared. Both magical power and stamina are exhausted.

-Sweet

At the same time, Lie raised his spear. Now there is no one to stop him.

I tried my best to throw Ragnarok.

“Child. Shouldn’t we at least listen to the will?”

“······!”

“As soon as you lift a finger, there won’t even be a will.”

Lie seemed to have noticed my struggles and warned me. I couldn’t help but hesitate after hearing that warning.

Testament? I don’t want to hear that. As for my last words, I would like to talk about them in the future.

Like it or not, Rod was an adult. He is the only adult who can protect me even if I have an accident.

I never want to hear a will or anything like that. However, due to the circumstances, I couldn’t do anything.

“So, do you have any will to leave?”

“··· ···”

At those words, Rod, who was down on one knee, raised his head and looked at me. His face with cold sweat running down his face

Eventually, as soon as Rod made eye contact with me, he smiled. It’s an expression that exudes warm affection, as if telling you not to worry.

“Hey…”

“··· ···”

“Don’t cause any more accidents…”

I won’t crash. I won’t hit it, so don’t say that.

“There are a lot of people who like you…”

Rod likes me too. Just because you like it, don’t say that.

“You are a good child. You will become a great person.”

Rod said that and smiled brightly. It was a smile covered in blood, but it was a kinder smile than anyone else’s.

The will is over. All that remains is for lies to take his life

“I’m sorry it ended like this.”

“··· ···”

“Goodbye.”

The window goes down. A window covered in purple, as if it was about to see the end.

Time slowed down, and only two people came into my field of vision. The window got closer and closer.

“······!!”

I don’t even know what I’m yelling right now. Is it a plea or is it anger?

Whatever it is, one thing is certain. A fact that I don’t want to believe and I don’t want to accept.

Rod dies. I was trying to protect myself and no one else.

There is no one to help… You can’t stop that lie.

If this continues, a tragedy that we never want to see will unfold before our eyes. I don’t like that.

Soon, the purple spear was about to slit Rod’s neck.

“······aa!!!”

“Hmm?”

“Ah…?”

Suddenly, a scream came through. Thanks to that, the window stopped for a moment.

I looked at the place where I heard the scream with a dumbfounded face. For me, it’s above my head.

Eventually, when I raised my head, what I saw was a completely unexpected person.

“Wow!!!”

“That guy…?”

“······Lu, Luna?”

It was Luna. I don’t know why, but Luna is falling from the entrance to the sparring hall.

Why did she come here? She couldn’t understand at all.

But apart from what she couldn’t understand, Luna was falling. If she does that, she will collide with the audience.

“Hey! Catch it!”

“Oh, sister!”

Luckily, Kara was in the path of falling. Luna barely escaped the fall with her help

“······It’s one of those eyes that I don’t want to see.”

Lie muttered softly as he confirmed Luna’s presence her her her her. Meanwhile, I whined and crawled.

Luna’s appearance only bought us a few seconds, but to be honest, it wasn’t of much use.

And the same goes for my struggles. As soon as Lie saw me crawling, he snorted and raised his spear.

“It’s nonsense. That’s why…”

Just before the lie hits the spear.

-Flash!

For an instant, the sky became brighter than before. All the lights in the sparring hall were on, but the light was brighter than that.

Lie started and looked up at the sky. And my eyes opened brightly.

“Oh my…!”

-Quaa!!!

A harmonious mixture of white and black struck the lie. The lies were pushed and tumbled by the light, as if by an enormous force.

The lie then collided with the wall of the audience. Rod must have fainted but he was still kneeling on one knee.

I looked blankly at the lie that flew into the stands and then turned my head.

“Luckily it’s not too late.”

What appeared in the gray light was an angel without wings.

“If Chaos hadn’t guided me, I would have been in big trouble.”

It was also a muscular angel.
