92 – Shinigami (4)
A monster that swings a scythe with its thin arms.
Every time it moves, the chain makes a clanging sound,
A gloomy atmosphere is created.
This is not a witch.
Kana’s intuition told her so and warned her to run away quickly.
‘Why did this monster appear in a place like this!’
Sureun
A scythe grazed my cheek, causing a stinging pain.
Cana frowned at that and glared at her monster.
There are a lot of questions about where this guy suddenly came out and what his identity is.
There is no one who can answer that,
There was no time to worry about questions.
‘What should I do?’
Kana shook her head vigorously.
Not to survive,
She turned her head to save another student trapped in the dungeon.
The moment the monster’s attention is even slightly focused on another student, it dies.
To that extent, this monster went beyond recognition,
The students trapped in the dungeon are monsters whose paths cannot even reach their toes.
At least he was aware of it and was far away from the monster.
Cana, who felt more at ease with her appearance, cut through the air and struggled to avoid her flying scythe.
‘If you can handle white water properly, there is no need to worry.’
The biggest disadvantage of Baeksuhwa.
Instead of gaining tremendous strength, the recoil is so severe that the body is destroyed.
At least, it is alleviated due to the high natural healing power unique to the Persian family.
Nevertheless, Baeksuhwa is not a skill that can be used carelessly.
‘No, even if I use unemployed people’s language, will I still be able to relate to them?’
No matter how much of a secret skill you have, it is useless against this monster.
That is how far the gap between us and this monster was.
‘At least there is a gap.’
I’m avoiding it as much as possible, but
There wasn’t even a chance to counterattack.
“As expected, Ron had reason to be wary.”
I finally realized why Ron was wary.
A monster like this suddenly appears. How can we not be on guard?
However, it is not listed in the Demonic Beast Encyclopedia,
Because it is an unidentified monster, we cannot ask for help from the Academy.
No matter how hard Ron worked for the Academy.
Because you can’t help just one student without any basis.
‘But if I stay still, something really big will happen.’
You can tell because you are dealing with it directly.
Even if the entire S class attacks, they won’t be able to inflict even a scratch on this guy.
And that they will all die from this guy’s scythe.
‘Yes! Communication zone!’
Ron predicted the appearance of this monster, so he prepared a communication port in advance.
Kana avoids the cool scythe,
She quickly took out the communication device and tried to activate it, but there was no reaction.
‘Uh, why is this happening all of a sudden…? .’
Sureun
After a moment of panic, a few strands of her bangs were cut off along with her communication device.
Fragments of the communication port that fell in vain.
I couldn’t understand what happened.
My body first realized the situation and started moving again.
‘Why is it not working at times like this!’
I heard that it can be used when it is definitely dangerous.
However, contrary to expectations, the communication port does not work at all.
Did Ron make a mistake?
No, Ron couldn’t make this mistake.
Then there is only one thing I can think of.
The communication tool handed over by the chairman was defective or of low quality.
‘Everyone is just a useless human being!’
Kana really wanted to cry.
A guy named Bester blocked his entrance and escaped alone.
The chairman played with people’s lives.
If I really just get out of here alive, I won’t leave anything behind.
With that determination, Cana leaned back and dodged her attack.
‘Let’s survive first. ‘I’m sure Ron will understand!’
Others may not know, but
Ron must have realized what was happening and is coming this way.
But how long can we last against this monster?
10 Minutes? 1 Min?
Cana sobbed in the gap where she couldn’t even think of holding on.
‘That….’
The monster that mercilessly wielded the scythe,
She suddenly began to draw back her scythe.
It’s literally a perfect gap for an attack.
However, when she saw that the scythe had been tilted back and was engulfed in a purple aura, an alarm bell rang in her head.
‘But I can’t do anything here!’
You can’t just keep avoiding it.
In that case, he must attack somehow and take the initiative.
To do so, Cana took her own risk and raised her fist and rushed towards the monster.
“Go!!”
Even when Kana extends her fist, she is still a monster that doesn’t even show any signs of swinging.
Kana smiles confidently, saying she succeeded.
But that smile did not last long.
“Uh….”
The moment her fist touches the monster,
A fist passing through without any feeling, like fog.

It wasn’t just her fist that went through, her own body went through the monster.
‘The attack doesn’t work?’
The body loses balance and stumbles in unexpected situations.
Ugh
It seems like the monster was aiming for that,
He swung a huge scythe towards himself, who was staggering.
A blow that literally splits the body in two.
However, contrary to Kana’s expectations, her body was intact without any injuries.
‘Why is nothing wrong?’
It was strange.
It is a scythe that has clearly cut her own hair and scratched her.
But I was hit the right way and there was not even a small wound.
However, it was easy to realize that the attack just wasn’t just an ordinary attack.
-Are you weak?
‘Uh… ?’
For a moment, Kana’s eyes opened wide as a woman’s voice rang in her ears.
A very disparate voice.
However, Kana’s face was filled with embarrassment at the sound of her unrecognizable voice.
That’s right.
‘Is this voice, me?’
The woman’s voice now heard was none other than her own.
***
Actually, I know.
What he is doing is neither a fight as a noble nor a fight to enforce his will.
This is just complaining.
-A poor cat who can’t be silly because its mother passed away.
“Ugh!”
I am distracted by my own voice that is still ringing in my ears.
A reality that I had known until now, but had ignored.
The truth that gave all kinds of reasons to want to deny it.
-It’s just because you haven’t become an adult.
“No!”
-If you want to marry the person you love, that can’t possibly happen, right?
“It’s noisy!”
-You are a nobleman. As a noble, you can expect something like that, right?
It’s noisy.
It’s noisy, but
Even if you cover your ears or scream, your voice will not disappear.
Rather, each time he was hit by the scythe, his voice increased.
‘I didn’t come out just for that reason!’
-Lies. Although I actually know it.
“I tried to ignore my mother and stand up to my father who only cared about his own safety… !”
-How long do you think such foolish behavior will work? I have to look at reality soon.
The shaking eyes represented her feelings.
Ever since she left the family and ran away to her academy, she has been worried.
Is my choice really right?
Won’t you regret making this choice?
That question kept lingering in my head.
The more she did it, the more she brainwashed herself into thinking that her choice was right and not wrong, as if she were hypnotizing herself.
Nevertheless, anxiety and hesitation that does not go away.
To forget about it, enjoy the daily life in front of her,
I turned my eyes away from the dark reality.
Even so, my daily life with them was fresh and full of joy.
But on the day of the special exam.
I realized this while looking at Ron’s back.
‘Ah, I’ve been running away all this time.’
Ron was so different from himself.
His will did not break despite the harassment from the noble union.
Rather, he confidently declared war and announced his will.
She was completely different from herself, she was exactly what she had imagined.
Compared to that, what does she look like herself?
I turned my eyes away from reality and chose to run away to forget the pain.
Are you really right?
My father is not correct as a human being, but He could be said to be upright as a nobleman.
No matter what happens, a nobleman must not be swayed by emotions.
If you are swayed by your emotions and make the wrong choice, not only yourself but others may be harmed.
I am not really swayed by my emotions,
Can we say we made the right choice?
Didn’t you just run away because you didn’t want to marry someone you didn’t know and had never met?
***
“Ugh!”
How long has it been?
How long will I have to suffer like this?
-You can’t run away.
-I have to fulfill my duty as a noble.
-Now I have to become an adult.
I don’t know.
Now I don’t even know why I came from the family.
“Ah….”
A monster holding a scythe standing in front of him.
A reaper meant to bring death to oneself.
It was scary enough to give me goosebumps, but at the same time, I felt a little joy.
If I die here, wouldn’t I be able to escape this pain?
Do I not have to suffer anymore?
-Yes, if you can’t live as a noble, you can die.
-You made the right choice.
-I’m sure your mother will be happy too.
“Well, is that right?”
Let’s answer the voice ringing in our ears,
They laughed as if they were having fun.
The grim reaper with his scythe raised will soon guide him to peace.
If I could escape this suffering, I would welcome it.
Empty eyes look at the tip of the moving blade, moving slowly.
A scythe flying towards one’s neck.
Everything ends with this.
This pain and sadness.
‘Mother, I will follow you too.’
Following in the footsteps of my mother who has already passed away.
Isn’t that a scary thing?
I slowly close my eyes, remembering my mother’s smile lingering before my eyes.
Tuk.
“Uh… ?”
At that moment, someone pushed the body.
Then, my mind became clear, and my wide-open eyes discovered someone.
“…… Theory?”
“Luckily I wasn’t late.”
Tuk.
Ron saved himself.
A dull sound of something falling was heard next to Ron.
A very familiar form.
And Ron looks like something is missing.
“Ron!!!!”
It was none other than Ron’s arm.
