Chapter 1098 – Not Two, but Three

000

‘The number of women I don’t know is increasing!’

Cleon is fighting against strange beings, and Lila and Kuon look at the two horned girls standing around him.

I had the exact same thoughts, at the exact same timing.

At the same time, they each pulled out their wands and shouted a spell at the group blocking her view.

“”Blaze Gale!””

Two people’s voices overlapping.

A strong wind, and a storm of flames swirling in that wind—

─This should have happened.

Immediately after that, if nothing happens and the silence continues, the strange figures that turned their heads at the voice coming from behind will also tilt their heads.

“Ahaha. That’s right. Our magic power is still incinerated.”

“Aaaaah! When is this going to be resolved?”

Both Kuon and Lila had no choice but to raise their voices, recalling a fact they had so easily forgotten.

Then, as if replacing him.

“Meteor shower in the sky!”

Teeing! If you think that the arrow was shot and stuck in the ceiling while hearing the sound.

Numerous arrows of magic split and pour down, striking down from above those gathered below.

“Lila and Kuon, please stay behind!”

And, when Amelia’s body protruding from the side ‘flashes’ and lights up.

In an instant, it took on the appearance of a female warrior wearing armor that exceeded Lila’s height, holding up a shield and hammer as if to protect the two from her group.

Except for the half-ghosts who lost their combat power after taking on the form of demonic beasts, the rest will each stand holding their weapons.

If you follow Amelia’s advance, follow her signals, and move forward with her steps.

When an enemy suddenly appeared from behind, Lee Hyeong’s group collapsed helplessly.

Of course, each one was just as strong as the guys Cleon was dealing with.

“Schrödinger!”

When Kshat, who was competing with a large Lee Hyung, shouts out her name, Schrödinger lightly kicks the wall, jumps up, and climbs onto Lee Hyung’s shoulder, which blocks Kshat.

At the same time, the magical hand blades intersect and Lee Hyeong’s head falls off.

Similarly.

Even in the form of Bavanshi, Melusine handles the whipping tentacle, which is sharper than the blade, as if it were her own sword.

He hides in the shadows, stabs his sharp sword from the enemy’s perspective, and joins forces with Quartz, who enjoys the enemy’s lines.

On the way here, we’ve faced quite a few enemies.

Even if we didn’t like it, it was natural for us to learn each other’s fighting styles and work together.

And in a way, it was natural that such ‘growth’ would give the party unprecedented power.

Of course, talking about Sasha and Amelia’s combination was so natural that it hurts to talk about it now.

“Good! Good job! Amelia~ Cool~!”

“That’s right there! Just like that! That’s it!”

Kuon and Laila, who unintentionally became cheerleaders, had no choice but to cheer for the group along with Artis, as if they were sitting in the cheering seats of the arena.

So slowly, the group from front and back begins to overwhelm Lee Hyeong’s forces.

In the center – towards the passage leading to another elevator that leads deeper into the lab’s basement – those who could move began to move.

No matter how you look at that movement, it was ‘flight’.

“It’s starting to retreat!”

“They probably realized that even if they used this number of soldiers, they wouldn’t be able to buy any time against us now.”

Sasha was the first to realize this and raised her voice,

“Okay! Let’s send them back to where they came from and join Cleon!”

“Yes!”

At Lila’s words, Amelia becomes even more motivated and pours her magic into her hammer.

Then, the brilliantly shining hammer became bigger than the one I normally wield.

Boom! With the heavy sound of the wind blowing, the strange beings in front were swept away.

Following the physical impact, a wave of divine magic explodes from the hammer.

The two wide-ranging attacks were very effective in instantly pushing back the enemies that were in front of us.

Not to be outdone, everyone uses their range attack methods one by one.

As if her fingertips were itching, Lila would open and close her hand holding her cane repeatedly.

Then.

Howling!

“!”

Lyla saw the magic of her flame resting on the tip of her own wand.

“It’s done!”

The influence of the black magic that had stopped her magic organs in Lila’s body for a long time completely disappeared, and the magic nerves in her heart rekindled.

“Kuon, are you ready too?”

“Yes…!”

It was the same for Kuon, so the two looked at each other for a moment.

This time!

With that feeling, she crosses her staff and extends it forward.

“Everyone bow down!”

“It will be a little hot!”

Those who were advancing and fighting the enemies all quickly backed up to the wall or bowed flat at the sound of that voice.

Next moment.

“”Blaze Gale!””

Once again, when two people’s voices overlap.

Flashing, the tip of the staff started to light up at the same time.

As the strong wind and flames mixed, an impact large enough to shake the entire hallway enveloped the entire floor.

Lee Hyung, who was standing in front, had his placenta reduced to ashes on the spot.

Even if they succeeded in avoiding the heat, they would have been able to feel the power enough to strongly stimulate the desire to survive, which is a natural instinct of living creatures.

The heat that enveloped everything in an instant subsided just as quickly as it had appeared.

And at the same time, what was left in that place.

The tail of the fleeing guys, and the ceiling and walls that were not only black and completely melted.

The water seemed to be insufficient to quell the heat flowing from the pipe that had burst in the ceiling in response to the fire.

Thanks to this, when there was a lot of cloudy steam, the group would follow their instinct and wave their hands in front of their eyes to try to clear away even a little of the smoke.

However, even in the meantime.

“Guys!”

Beyond the steam, she could see a male silhouette approaching her, waving his hand.

Therefore, everyone in Cleon’s party without Cleon will run in step with him to greet him.

The group was separated for at most two days.

Nevertheless, the reason those two days felt so long was because the empty space between us felt so big.

Then, the figure that appeared beyond the fog was not at all different from the one in my memory.

Finally, the leader of the party and his companions, who were lost in an unfortunate accident, gather together once again and form a complete group –

“Good job! You fight well as expected!”

Come on!

Just before Cleon meets the group again right in front.

There was a being who wrapped its hands around Cleon’s waist as if attacking him from behind.

Phew!

“It hurts!? Horns! Because horns are stabbing my back!”

Cleon screamed as he felt something sharp and hard stabbing his back.

“…”

The group, who had been in an emotional reunion mood just a moment ago, will stop, and their expressions will harden.

Yeah, I forgot about it in the intensity of the battle, but this guy…

He had ‘two’ new women!

Quickly, the women exchange glances.

The discussion was about the role of who would ask the questions.

To that extent, it was now possible to pretend to be understood without having to exchange voices through separate engraving.

And in most cases, carrying a gun is…

“Huh, Cleon? We seem to be getting along quite well. Who is that woman over there?”

With an awkward smile, Kuon asks that question.

Then, the girl who had buried her head in Cleon’s back finally sticks out her head and makes eye contact with her companions.

With her black dress draped over her body and her black hair falling, she looks at her companions with her red, sharp eyes.

“Hmm. Are you this man’s original colleagues? Something… You all seem to have the same personality.”

‘I don’t want to hear it from you…!?’

That’s what everyone thought, except Sasha, who was innocent.

However, because they thought that saying it out loud would make them the same as the other person who was being rude, everyone seemed to hold back and hold back.

Instead.

“Another me! Cleon is in trouble, so let him go!”

The thing about her was that she looked exactly like her, but the horns growing from her head were different, and her overall coloring was biased towards white.

“Ha. Are they twins this time? I know we’ve already attacked twins once at the academy…”

“No, wait a minute, Lila. Didn’t you just say ‘another me’?”

If Amelia tackles Lila’s words, Lila will say, ‘Huh?’ And then realize it.

This means that the horns growing from the two people’s heads are not just accessories, but are actually body parts that grow through the skin.

“A human with horns…!? Is he a nobleman!?”

When Sasha raises her voice in surprise.

“Calm down, Sasha! I’ll explain…!”

As Cleon said that, he calmed down the women in the group and began to explain.

Looking at Cleon’s desperate appearance, Artis burst into laughter.

“So… The girls behind them were actually the white ones. That girl was a unicorn that took human form because of Darwin’s medicine. How did it split into two and become two?”

“Yes.”

After Cleon explains everything that has happened, Lila will summarize briefly.

“It may all seem like a lie, but it’s true…”

For some reason, behind Cleon, who is kneeling, the white Uni is also on her knees, supporting Cleon.

If you think about it all and listen to it from an objective point of view, Uni knew very well that it made no sense.

What can we do?

It really happened.

Even if she thought it was a lie, Yuni couldn’t help it, so she must have been panicking.

However, the reaction Cleon’s group showed afterward was the exact opposite of Uni’s expectations.

“Well… Then there’s nothing we can do.”

“There is no reason for Cleon to lie about something like that.”

Kuon and Lila nodded as if they immediately understood.

“Thank you for helping Cleon while we were away.”

Amelia walked up to Uni and bowed her head to express her gratitude.

“Eh, eh…?”

If Uni reacts like that with a blank expression, Schrödinger will answer for her.

“It’s not every day or two that Cleon goes somewhere and gets caught up in something strange… Oh, by the way, I wasn’t originally a human either, but Darwin’s medicine made me look like this. Let’s get along well with people in similar situations.”〈 Br〉

“What kind of adventure have you been on? Cleon.”

Uni’s reaction to their words was that she couldn’t believe it.

“But it’s interesting. One being been split into two with just magic power. What kind of magic reaction was there?”

Meanwhile, Lila seemed to be bothered by her black uni’s presence and was trying to get closer to her to take a look.

Then.

Whoosh, Black Uni turned her head away from Lila.

He looked like he was dissatisfied with something.

“Can you stop treating me like a laboratory animal?”

“Wait a minute, another me! To be rude like that…”

Uni, who can’t see anything, says something, but this time, black Uni glares at white Uni.

“It bothered me earlier, but could you stop using the title ‘another me’? Then it’s like I’m a separate entity from you!”

“Isn’t that actually true?”

A unicorn that has been transformed by the dark magic received from Cleon.

In other words, among the Unis that were supposed to become Bicorns, they are separate, independent personalities, leaving the original Unis behind.

The white uni would think so and nod her head.

“Wrong! You are the one who split from me! You were originally supposed to become a ‘bicorn’. That man forced you to separate the remaining unicorn parts and created you!”

“Is that so, Cleon!?”

When Uni looked at Cleon in confusion, Cleon responded while being himself embarrassed by Uni’s words.

“Ah, no… At that time, I thought I had to do something, so I tried various things, and that’s what happened. Which one is the ‘original’…”

If even Cleon, who achieved such a miracle, said he wasn’t sure, the black Uni would raise his voice.

“It’s only natural that it’s me!”

On the other hand, the white uni is worried but-

“I guess it doesn’t matter which one…”

“What is that? Good kid appeal? Hmph. Are you trying to say, ‘I’m a pure being that uses divine magic~’?”

“It’s not like that in particular. Could you please stop looking at me with such a crooked gaze?”

Even if it’s Yuni, she looks a little angry at her words, which are directed at suspicions that don’t even exist in her.

“What?!”

“You were the one who got angry first!”

The two immediately bumped their foreheads and tried to push each other away, holding each other’s hands with both hands and shouting ‘Gnunu!’.

“…”

Seeing these two people, the group, including Cleon, felt like their longing for the mysterious being called ‘unicorn’ was broken a little.

“Haa… Looks like I’ve become friends with some unique guys again.”

Lila shook her head and sighed.

And she’ll take her steps, leaving her two unnies behind.

The place she was heading to was Laplace’s laboratory, where Cleon had been hiding her body until a little while ago.

“Layla?”

“Before I go down, I want to organize as much information as possible. I heard ‘Descartes’ is there too? I also want to ask…”

When Lila says that, Fleur naturally follows her lead.

“Ah, ah… That’s right. Okay. Then, me too…”

When Cleon tries to follow her a little later, Lila opens the door first and stops standing tall in front of the door.

“… What’s wrong? Lila.”

It’s been a while since she’s seen Lila, and she somehow seems to stop a little more often than usual when Cleon asks a question.

“… Cleon.”

Lila’s voice rang low.

And as she turned to Cleon, she lifted her arm and pointed at something inside her room.

“Why didn’t you say there were three women instead of two!!”

“… Ha?”

In response to Lila’s words, Cleon said as if she were talking nonsense and turned her head to where Lila pointed.

There, a naked, tall, muscular woman twitched her ears, perhaps because of the commotion coming from outside her.

She was getting up.

“Ah.”

I forgot.

Cleon makes such foolish noises.

“More than 3 people is out of the allowable range!”

Pow! She did so and was met with an uppercut of anger radiating from Lila, forcing her to fall backwards.

Sorry. There are four people.

There was also one guardian who looked exactly like you.

Those words were something Cleon could not utter even if her mouth was physically torn apart.
