112 – Total War – 6
“What… ?”
Embarrassment crossed Valerie’s face.
“It can’t be!”
Soon she ran right in front of Charlotte and exploded the wind element.
Puuuong!
She was so powerful that even herself was caught in the blast, but only herself was pushed behind her.
Charlotte still ran forward. It seemed like nothing was wrong with Valerie’s attacks.
She looked like she didn’t even know what happened to Charlotte — which made Valerie feel even more insane.
The result is the same even if you repeat it two more times. Valerie asked subconsciously.
“What the hell… what? That’s not human strength. But you’re human… But… How the hell do you deal with that kind of power?”
“Isn’t it human power?”
“It can’t be human magic! Of course! What the hell happened! Say. Say. Say. Say. Say!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
I threw in a series of attacks, but it only served to increase Charlotte’s proficiency in handling this unknown power. Valerie gritted her teeth in her resentment.
‘This is… ‘
Even at a glance, it was not a power that a mediocre Charlotte could handle.
This is definitely a level of power that can only be obtained at the cost of a curse. However, there’s no way a girl like this could bear it if she’s being cursed in return.
Hooung!
Charlotte is mastering Lepista’s flames before she knows it. She kicked her to the floor, using the flames that were already slightly purple.
‘…Is this also an application of elements?’
I’ve never seen flames of this color spread during practice. Did the application of elements exert a little more power at a critical moment?
Anyway, now was not the time to argue about that.
The most important thing in this race was to cross the starting line first, and Charlotte knew that better than anyone else.
If there is magic that can be used, use it. If you can’t use it right now… Maybe all the magic won’t be useful again.
“You, you, you, what are you cursed with? Did you sell your soul?”
I politely ignored Valerie’s question. She tried to answer, but she couldn’t understand, so she couldn’t help it.
‘I’m going crazy.’
If Charlotte gained her powers by receiving her superlative curse, then Valerie cannot deal with her Charlotte.
Even though there is an unconventional option to gain strength instead of being cursed, why can’t all demons choose that option?
Because no one else can. Not only demons can choose curses. The curse also specifies the target.
It is a kind of agreement.
‘I don’t like it. Not good. So bad… ‘
Now, it has become very difficult to deal with Charlotte with all her strength.
The two are still somehow running side by side.
However, with each step Charlotte was adjusting to her new strength, the difference was bound to widen after a while.
No matter how Valerie she is, she couldn’t overcome the power of the highest level curse.
‘Bianca-sama.’
Valerie chewed her lips. If her mission failed, the only thing waiting for her would be her own death.
How to succeed in the mission. Way to succeed. How to Succeed… Valerie began to busily roll his hair as he ran on.
But at that moment.
“Ugh!”
The screams of other students echoed in Valerie’s ears.
Looking back, it seemed that a student had fallen behind Charlotte and Valerie. It looks like it just fell by accident.
The scene that Valerie carefully watched there. It was a scene where Charlotte’s head turned urgently.
The girl’s only red eyes wavered for a moment, but she regained her composure when she recognized that she had fallen due to the student’s own mistake.
It was a near-instantaneous moment, so no one except for Valerie would have been able to observe it. What mattered was that Valerie observed that.
“No way.”
Pang!
Fire several wind elemental arrows backwards. When a mana arrow pierced the ground in front of his nose, the student who was trying to stop hurriedly fell to the side with a thud.
“Bar, Valerie!”
Call of Charlotte. But Valerie managed to knock down one more just like that.
I used magic very skillfully this time too.
As if he was aiming for Charlotte but missed, and the missed trajectory worked really badly and tripped another student.
“Stop it! Why are you doing this when you’re running in the front anyway!”
It was only then that Valerie regained her composure when she saw Charlotte rushing at her screaming hysterically.
“Aha… “
Now things have changed. She has become a landscape that somehow runs from Charlotte’s side and dodges from Valerie’s side.
“Are you nervous? Other students get hurt.”
“……”
Valerie grinned.
“Didn’t I say that we had to win somehow? Then you shouldn’t worry about what happens behind the scenes. Aren’t you less desperate?”
“……”
Instead of answering, Charlotte gritted her teeth and started running as Valerie kept her from attacking the students behind her.
She seemed to agree with Valerie’s comment that she should ignore her back as much as possible.
However, it was more of a casual ‘pretend’. Every time Valerie’s gaze turned to the students behind her, a helpless flinch was palpable.
This is why people are called weak.
No matter how good the power is given to the hand, it is said that the lack of actual combat experience makes things go wrong. What do you do if you pretend not to?
Can’t you see everything called Chuck?
“Ayu, you are really kind.”
As if to complete the attack spell, Valerie sneered as she raised the medicine.
“Were the kids being attacked from behind really close to you? Probably not Were you always friendly? Probably not You should know very well that it is not.”
Valerie shifted his center of gravity down as he lowered his stance.
“…And why am I saying this?”
Within a moment, the ceremony was completed and the light shone.
The wind element, different in size from the mana arrows from before, pierced the air like an illusion and aimed precisely at Charlotte’s heart.
“Even if I say this a hundred times. Guys like you couldn’t stop caring.”
“…Sigh.”
Charlotte concentrated her powers on the soles of her feet. If she jumps up very high, she’ll be able to dodge straight arrows…
“… Huh?”
But she soon realized that Charlotte couldn’t do that.
Valerie fired an arrow with a trajectory that could perfectly penetrate Charlotte and the intermediate students behind her. It was a structure that if Charlotte avoided, the student behind her would be hit.
Since she was already ready to jump, there was a risk that canceling this action would cause the reverse action and cause the mana to flow backward, but Charlotte was willing to do so.
Boom!
The moment the body and the arrow collided head-on. Fortunately, the purple flames protected Charlotte.
But then Valerie madly blasted her wind element at her Charlotte’s feet at a speed that her naked eyes couldn’t even follow.
“Oh!”
From nob le mt l. co m
My body, which was running fast, lost balance and sprained my ankle beautifully.
Kudang-dang-dang-dang!
Charlotte, who had rolled on her floor several times, looked at Valerie with a puzzled look.
“You… this… “
She was a powerful blow that would have taken the life of a student running behind her had Charlotte not defended her.
She thought that if Charlotte was right, it would be better, and if Charlotte was not right, she would just kill the students. Charlotte was at a loss for what to say.
Slowing her run, her Valerie muttered so that only Charlotte could hear.
“Hurry up and follow me. Or will you kill the other kids?”
Stumbling, Charlotte stood up. She couldn’t help but run because her ankles weren’t swollen yet.
“What the hell… “
“How much more time should I give? Can it be done in a minute?”
“Why are you doing this… “
“Listen to it and just die in silence if it’s a good reason? It won’t be like that~ Just accept it~”
Then Charlotte began to spread the magic circles of flame.
Now it really puts her in a position where she has to take Valerie down to prevent further damage.
Due to her unknown powers, her body was in perfect condition. The flow of her mana was also excellent. However…
Boom!
Once again, Charlotte blocks Valerie’s indiscriminate attack from behind her. She was so preoccupied with protecting all the students that she couldn’t attack.
“Stop it!”
“As expected, dealing with humans is not difficult. Efficiency is poor, efficiency is low.”
Valerie started drawing a huge magic circle once again. Each footstep she leaves becomes another magic circle.
Charlotte immediately shouted with all her might.
“Everybody stop running! Stop!”
Some students listened to Charlotte, but most didn’t.
Quaaang!
Finally, with a roar, some of the students that Charlotte couldn’t stop fall helplessly out.
Charlotte’s eyes were bloodshot.
Protecting other people huh 🤔
