Episode 84
It happened in the blink of an eye, and I couldn’t stop Samuel’s gluttony from eating my arm.
no.
It seemed accurate to say that he did not feel the need to stop.
‘… … I don’t feel any pain.’
My skin felt a little tingling, but I didn’t feel any bones being crushed or flesh being crushed.
It felt like I had swallowed my arm rather than chewed it.
Well well.
Thorns sucking my right arm.
Soon after, countless thorns covered my arm.
I tried to pull it off, but it seemed to be united as if it had already been parasitized on my arm.
What is this situation… … .
While I was staring at the thorns with bewildered eyes.
Shu Shu Shuk-.
In no time, the thorns growing on his right arm disappeared.
It fit snugly into my arm.
With only one thorn stuck in my right wrist.
“Wh, what happened?”
Fron’s voice was filled with bewilderment.
I was also in a situation where I couldn’t understand why, so all I could do was shrug my shoulders.
I opened the status window in front of my eyes to see if there had been any changes in my body.
[Assen Adele]
: Race – [half (half) E]
: Tendency – [ Chaos ]
: Talent – [ Location Exchange ‘Ⅲ’ ]
: Characteristics – [ Interest ] [ Preoccupation ] [ Live Ⅲ ] [ Darkness Ⅲ ] [ Mana Management ] [ Pupils of Arrogance ] [ Telekinesis ] [ Swordplay ] [ Samuel ]
: Mana – [ 4301 ⇒ 2631 ]
Adele’s power recovered.
However, it did not completely disappear, and some remained.
The pitch-dark attribute changed back to a dark attribute.
Together.
A step up is made.
It wasn’t just dark traits.
Including the location exchange, the living attribute has risen by one level.
It was then.
Sararak-.
I felt a tickle as if something was being written on the paper in my arms.
I quietly took out the paper and listened.
Except for me, the other cadets couldn’t see the information sheet, so it didn’t matter if I showed it.
Sentence written on information paper.
『Judged that the price was a little too much. 』
『Some of the power is passed on to the Creator. 』
I had no choice but to close my eyes.
Do you think the price is too much?
Apparently, instead of borrowing 20% of Adele’s power, I lost something most precious to me.
However, no change has occurred in my body.
… … what did you take
Even though he lent his power beyond the providence, he paid an overflowing price.
Did I have such a treasure?
‘It’s a good thing, but… … .’
Characteristics, mana, and even talents have achieved a step up, so it was definitely something to be happy about.
but.
The fact that I had taken something I didn’t know was worrisome.
When I returned to the Demon Realm, I felt the need to check my body.
And what stands out the most.
‘That’s… … .’
It was that the name of ‘Samuel’, who had been devoured by his ability, was openly present in the status window.
‘What happened?’
Why is Samuel’s name written on the status window?
It was a time when I was completely lost and confused.
[He is not dead yet.]
Samuel’s voice came from somewhere.
I was startled and looked around.
However, all he could see was the appearance of the other class A cadets.
I wonder if I was the only one who heard Samuel’s voice, and the cadets also showed signs of confusion.
“Where are you talking?”
“Probably, it’s like here.”
When Luna asked, Fron answered.
Her gaze was on the thorn growing out of my right wrist.
As soon as the eyes of the cadets were focused,
[This is the correct answer.]
“… … !!”
A sound came from the thorn on my wrist.
Clearly, Samuel’s voice.
I had no choice but to throw a question at Thorn, blinking my eyes.
“Is Samuel right?”
[Okay, I’ll be indebted to your right arm for the time being.]
Are you suddenly indebted?
I could hardly understand the current situation.
As I raised a questioning gaze, Thorn, presumed to be Samuel, continued.
[It consumed too much power. If he had been in that condition, he would have died even if he had been treated.]
I nodded.
I agree with what Samuel said.
Even if he had received Luna’s treatment, it would have been difficult to avoid death.
Even if I was really lucky to have survived, I would have been crippled for the rest of my life.
[The present form is the form that requires the least effort. Perhaps after a couple of months like this, I will be able to return to my original body.]
To sum up, he ate his body with Tom to reduce its volume.
It was said that if time passed and strength was restored, it could return to its original state.
however.
“Why are you parasitic on my arm?”
[…] … .]
A thorn that is silent at my question.
In response, I narrowed my eyes.
It was clear that I had done something that did not benefit me.
As I let go of my stinging eyes, Gassy finally opened her mouth.
[…] … In order to rebuild my body, I have to eat a certain amount of mana every day.]
“So you’re saying that you were parasitized to suck my mana?”
[Yes, you share the dormitory with me. Because the amount of mana is much higher than other cadets.]
It’s not an incomprehensible story.
I had a lot of mana among the students, and if I could save Samuel by giving him a small amount of mana, I wouldn’t be a loser.
It was clear that Saitan would give me extra points just for saving Samuel.
Because it was Edea’s order to protect talented students first.
but.
“Isn’t the amount of mana that Fron has more than me? Luna-sama is by no means on the lesser side.”
Leave Luna aside for now.
Fron can’t fight to the point where it’s hard to keep his eyes open, but he’s superior to me in terms of mana.
Perhaps, in terms of quantity, he was comparable to Samuel, or even more.
So it would be much more helpful to recover if you were parasitized by Pron rather than by me.
At my words, Fron grumbled as if he was in a bad mood.
“Somehow, I feel like cursing this body.”
“It’s because of my mood.”
I lightly overcame Fron’s annoyance and looked at the thorns.
[…] … .]
Then the silent thorn.
However, he had no choice but to open his mouth to my continued silent pressure.
[…] … Isn’t it?]
“I can’t hear you very well.”
By this point, I was a little annoyed.
For what reason did he not parasitize Luna or Fron?
As the girls and I looked at each other as if asking for an answer, the thorns turned red.
Eventually, the boy spewed out an answer.
[Yeah, you can see things like that, right? It doesn’t have eyes, but when it becomes parasitic, it can share the vision of its host… … .]
Samuel’s answer.
Me and the girls looked at each other at the same time.
It wasn’t long before he understood Samuel’s meaning and put on a look of disgust.
“Huh, you’re such a perverted guy.”
“… … It’s the worst.”
“Samuel… … .”
[This, these guys… … !!]
Samuel screamed in anger at our contemptuous glances.
In response, I was cold.
“Pervert, noisy.”
[…] … .]
Samuel shut up.
Only then did I realize the urgency of the situation and shouted at the cadets.
“We must leave here. Reinforcements dispatched from the Imperial Academy will arrive soon.”
Through the Return Scroll, the human cadets headed to the Imperial Academy.
It took quite a while to get here, so humans hadn’t arrived yet.
But that was only a matter of time.
Perhaps sooner or later, the strongmen of the Imperial Academy will attack this place.
“So be it.”
Fron and the cadets agreed to my proposal to leave the unexplored region.
“But have you decided where you are going? I know the gate will open tomorrow, not today.”
“For now, I know the secret place the human instructor hid. We can survive there for a day or so.”
A secret laboratory created by Besaha to avoid the eyes of other instructors.
If it was there, he could hide even with the demon cadets.
It was hidden so deep in the forest that it would take time for humans to find it.
Above all, if you activate the lab’s camouflage magic, you won’t be noticed at all.
Even though it died by my hand, it was a device installed by a wizard of 5th class or higher.
“Then let’s go there.”
[No, I have work to do before that.]
Samuel stopped talking.
“What do you mean, Mr.
[…] … If you say that one more time, I will kill you. Anyway, in order to recover my body, I need to eat the corpses of humans.]
Samuel stretched out his thorn and pointed at the strewn corpses of human cadets.
“Hmm, how long will it take?”
[Ten seconds is enough.]
Kagagagak-.
Countless thorns protruded from the palm of my hand.
The thorns began to eat human corpses.
However, perhaps because he was reluctant to eat demons, Samuel did not put thorns on the corpses of the Saitan cadets.
Luna, who watched the series of appearances, opened her mouth.
“… … Can I bury it in the ground?”
“It’s not possible. I don’t have time for that.”
I would have thought of taking care of them if they were still alive.
I couldn’t take care of the guys who were already dead.
In just a few tens of minutes, the instructors from the Imperial Academy will come.
“… … .”
Luna bit her lower lip at my cold reply and said to Thorn.
“Then, at least take it with you.”
[As I said beforehand, I can eat it, but I don’t have the ability to move it.]
It wasn’t just Samuel.
The other cadets were also already badly wounded, so it was not a condition to take care of the corpses of their comrades.
Soon, Luna hung her head heavily.
“… … okay.”
“Then, let’s get going.”
I took my eyes off Luna.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand her, but I couldn’t sympathize with her.
For me, living people are more important than dead people.
However, I wasn’t comfortable with it.
Soon after seeing Luna and the students who started to shed tears, my heart throbbed like being stabbed with a needle.
I pretended not to know that feeling and received Pron’s support.
Then he fell asleep.
‘The fight is always cruel.’
… … At some point, Luna will also have to adapt.
one.
Is it my greed that I don’t want that time to come?
The days when emotions are worn out and eventually worn out and rubbed off… … .
It will probably come in the near future.
