Chapter 509 – Final Battle (4)

Rebecca smiles brightly.

As soon as I saw my blushing cheeks, like a girl confessing her love, soon covered in bright red blood, I knew what I had to do.

“Ha, ahhh!”

She tightened her grip on the dagger fused with the Punishment and rushed forward.

Rahim, who noticed this, tries to resist somehow, but it is the last great magic he casts that burns his life force.

It would be impossible for even Rahim to escape at once. The chain actually came a little loose, but that was before my arrival.

The jet-black light sword pierces Rahim’s heart with the momentum of the run.

Phew.

A blow that went in so easily.

It’s natural. Gleipnir is a great magic that can even bring down godhood. In addition, my current dagger had a power equivalent to that of the holy sword, so it would have been difficult to resist.

Rahim begins to gasp as if his heart will break at any moment, as even a warrior can’t do anything if his heart is pierced.

In the first place, if Rahim was good at defense or recovery, he wouldn’t have gone with Reinhardt or Flora.

“Pl, Laura… I am…”

Rahim looks at Flora with trembling eyes. Suddenly, his body was enveloped in bright light and his dagger was pushed away, and his broken heart and minor wounds began to heal.

Recovery due to the blessings of all gods. But that doesn’t mean anything. Because Rebecca’s chains still held Rahim firmly.

Instead of resisting with all the strength he knew he had, Rahim got down on one knee and stretched out his hand toward Flora.

Then he thrust the dagger into his back again. The feeling of your heart breaking. As soon as Rahim’s hand touched Flora’s fingertips, his death was confirmed.

I’m a little embarrassed as I was prepared for a tough fight, but I think this will be the end for Rahim.

I wonder if I was the only one who thought that, as Rebecca slowly broke down as if the tension had been relieved. She caught her new model just before it hit the floor.

Tup.

Looking closer, the wound was much worse than I thought. No, it’s just a wound. It’s okay to recover. I have the world’s best healer and alchemist here right now, and my inventory contains all the treasures I’ve collected so far.

But Rebecca used this wound to ignite her own life force. Just as it would be meaningless if her bowl was broken no matter how much water she filled, her ordinary means of recovery could not restore Rebecca.

As I realized that fact, my voice began to tremble without me realizing it.

“Chairman…”

“… Ah. Yandel student. “It’s you.”

“It’s okay, so don’t say it. “The bleeding gets worse.”

Of course, I have no intention of just leaving it like that. First, I started pouring all the sleeping potions into my inventory.

Helena, who came late, also helped her recover by squeezing out her remaining divine power by her side.

Rebecca shook her head with a wry smile at our desperate looks.

“Enough is enough. You all know this, right? “My death is inevitable.”

“But you have to do everything you can!”

The trauma was treated with potions and sacred arts. However, rather than her condition improving, Rebecca’s complexion continues to worsen.

The speed at which vitality is consumed is too fast. Rebecca is terminally ill because her soul is worn out, but because her body is healthy, she is somehow holding on. … It’s not long now though.

Rebecca, sensing her own demise, looked at Rahim with a bitter expression on her face.

“Ah… “Aren’t you going to look after me until the end, Rahim?”

Then she forced the corners of her mouth to smile. As if to reassure us.

“Everyone, please stop here. It’s okay. “It is something to be happy about because you have put to good use a life that should have died long ago.”

“Why do you give up so easily! Is there really no way?! “There must be something!”

Those who are noble should be given appropriate compensation. This is such an obvious statement, but it is not the case in reality.

Isn’t that the invitation hero party right now?

Reinhardt, the Knight of Steel, died without leaving a will or even a body, Flora, the saintess of the cycle of life, burned his soul with a self-sacrifice spell, Rahim eventually went crazy after repeated loss, and Rebecca helped Rahim. To stop it, he sacrificed himself.

I didn’t like that.

“That’s right! Professor Iona! Jinhyeol is like the essence of vitality, right? “How could it not?”

“Yandel student… That is…”

Iona is speechless and avoids my gaze. It was Rebecca who answered for him.

“It would be more efficient than potions or divine power. But since the fundamental problem remains the same, it is meaningless.”

“Chairman…”

“Hehe. Still, this isn’t a bad death. I thought I would die lonely in the basement, without anyone knowing, without anyone knowing. Friends and disciples like this. And I never thought I could close my eyes under God’s blessing.”

Rebecca continued, arching her eyebrows playfully.

“It is inevitable as long as there is not even the first dew on the World Tree. So, the best thing to do is smile and only say good things until the end…”

“Yes? You can solve it with the first dew from the World Tree? “Then you should have said that first!”

“?”

Rebecca tilts her head as if she doesn’t understand the situation. She took out a small potion bottle in front of her as if showing off.

About half of the material has already been used by Fei, but in other words, the other half still remains.

Rebecca had a blank expression on her face, as if she had never expected that such a precious gem, which only comes out once every few hundred years and is strictly prohibited from being taken out, would come out so quickly.

She grumbled at her and opened the cap of her bottle.

Bong!

“Ha. You were shocked because you thought something big was going to happen. What did I say earlier? “If you have a way, just tell me, right?”

“No, that’s… “Huh?”

“But. Now that I think about it, the first dew from the World Tree could be enough to put a broken bowl back together. This life force is so strong that half of the body is distorted, and the rest go crazy or, in extreme cases, die from shock. I guess I was really embarrassed too. Why did I think of this now…”

According to what the system said, there was a 50% chance of physical deformation, a 30% chance of mental collapse, and a 10% chance of shock death.

But that’s what happens when you pour so much life force into a vessel that it breaks even though it’s fine.

I can’t say that there are absolutely no side effects, but… If Rebecca’s vessel is already broken, her highly concentrated life force will become a new vessel.

So, this means that the immediate crisis can be overcome. That’s the most important thing. Ah.

Rebecca blinked quietly, as if she was still confused.

“So why is this in the Yandel student subspace…” ?”

“My momang cares about me a lot. “When I asked for it, you gave me everything you had, right?”

“Yes?”

It’s real. When I asked for a set of World Tree ingredients, they gave me everything I asked for… Of course, there isn’t much left now.

Because Fei used them all as ingredients. Wasn’t my staff made from branches of the World Tree?

He grabbed Rebecca’s gaping mouth and forced it open.

“Huh?”

And then the first dew from the World Tree suddenly poured down. It’s not a waste to spend it on Rebecca, so I’ll leave everything to you.

Gulp.

Rebecca didn’t seem to understand the situation yet, but once it was in her mouth, she drank it all like a baby bird.

Then, my eyes closed and I fell asleep right away.

Quietly~

Anyone who can see a person making light breathing sounds is in a state of deep sleep. He probably lost consciousness for a moment in the process of replacing the broken bowl with his body.

First of all, it feels like Rebecca’s precarious momentum is gradually stabilizing, so it seems to be okay…

Still, just in case, I’ll have to ask Circulating Life to take a look later.

The moment I let out a sigh of relief and tried to lift Rebecca’s limp body.

“… Uh?”

Before I knew it, the pitch-black fog had risen to ankle height. The moment you become aware, your instincts ring an alarm at the ominous energy you feel.

The other group members, who felt uncomfortable with my reaction, looked around and looked for the source of the ominous feeling.

In fact, even the expression “Searching” Was a grandiose one. I just looked up and saw it right away.

Rahim died on one knee. Rebecca lost consciousness, and his body, free from his chains, was shrouded in thick darkness.

The darkness pouring out of his holed heart was not enough to engulf Rahim’s body, but also overflowed into the surrounding area.

The dagger stuck in his back vibrated and flickered blackly as if resisting, but in the end it couldn’t hold on and was thrown out on its own.

Phut!

The dagger that was flying with a small crackling sound was caught using telekinetic magic and held in my hand. The furniture that was used as an extended sword has disappeared, but fortunately the blade itself appears to be in good condition.

However, the strong strength of the sword can be felt in the hand. I was convinced by the state of the dagger that was crying out loud as if it was disgusting something and the instinctive feeling of rejection.

This is the divine power of an evil god.

I put aside the thoughts of how or why for a moment. Because I have learned from experience that there is nothing more foolish than expecting common sense from evil spirits.

So, I will briefly tell you only what you need to do right now.

“Professor Iona! “Let’s widen the distance with Elisha and Senior Fei!”

“Okay okay!”

Iona nodded her head without saying a word and took the two with her Blink, moving away to a place where her mist-shaped divine power could not reach.

I also left the place with Blink, taking Rebecca and Helena, who were asleep.

Then, as if it was his turn, Rahim’s body, which was probably dead, began to creak.

Rahim started to move… No, the first thing the noble ruler who took possession of Rahim’s body did was chew up Flora’s body and swallow it.

Jeok-

The jaw was twisted grotesquely and opened so wide that it reached the floor. The crooked teeth tear soft skin and break hard bones, as if they were driven by different blades.

Yes. Yes.

Flora disappeared completely, leaving behind a terrible chewing sound and a trace of blood. The guy who returned his twisted and sagging jaw to its original position smiled and muttered in satisfaction.

“Hero. I guess the bet is my win. However, this body is generous. “Rejoice that you are now with your lover as you wish.”

Thanks to experiencing Rahim’s memories, I was able to understand what the noble ruler was saying.

What he said a moment ago was once again a mockery toward Rahim’s soul, which had been swallowed up by him.
