143. Before Infiltrating Student Hall (5)
Paladin Andy Parfum.
Just as Bianca Plach took the position of leading manager by force alone, Andy Parfum is similar. Andy was the strongest of the student knights, so she rose to the position of captain.
If Bianca’s strength is her trickiness, like a beast doing acrobatics.
Andy has a simpler strength. She has a large number of true damage skills that ignore defense and she inserts.
So, no matter what kind of opponent, Andy can crush them all.
That’s why users called it a killing machine as a joke. Because she was able to play to kill everyone using that characteristic that was invulnerable to damage.
That’s why Claire’s arm was cut off.
Although Claire activated the auto-defense skill … , Andy pierced it with only damage.
“It’s a party… Come to think of it, I’ve heard it before. Claire, the rumor that you had a party with Ariel Beheritt.”
“It’s not a rumor, it’s true….Ugh, it hurts.”
“It’s ridiculous. Her Highness’s chief aide, that Claire Entirus, was swung around by a man and is like this.”
Andy turns his gaze away from Claire with a puzzled look on his face.
She and she make eye contact with me.
“You don’t need to introduce yourself. I think you’ve figured out each other’s situation.”
“Well, that’s true.”
“If you’re not going to kill, go away. If you’re going to kill, do it properly.”
As soon as we met, Andy says so.
It was an arrogant tone, but she didn’t say it with much force. You will notice that she always uses this way of speaking, just by her behavior.
To put it simply, Andy in The Unknown Saga is a self-centered youngster.
Originally, this human was probably the only shota character in Unknown Saga. Although she seems to have become a loli character now.
Like this kind of boy character, he doesn’t care much about what other people think.
He tried to judge everything only by his own standards, and unfortunately, Andy had the power to realize it.
In terms of performance, it is clear that the character belongs to the high tier class,
As a human being, there is no doubt that he is a very uncomfortable person.
“I’m asking just in case. What if we got out of here with Della alive?”
“I will kill you.”
“In the end, there’s no option to keep them alive.”
“Aren’t you an idiot who thinks of saving someone in this situation? If you keep him alive just to save a person, you know that he’ll become a monster and cause more damage.”
Andy fixes her sword.
He was looking at me, but Andy’s consciousness was on Della. She allows her to swing her sword towards her throat whenever she wants.
“So that’s hypocrisy, Ariel Beheritt. If you’re going to make such poor judgments, you’d better quit the party.”
“It seems like you only know my name about me. It seems you haven’t heard anything about Marie.”
I pointed Marie next to me with her eyes.
Marie is nervous.
I can feel Andy’s determination that if she rushes towards me, she will activate her magic without hesitation.
“Marie was once infected by a phoenix, but she chose not to kill it at that time, so she is now living her daily life as her student.”
“Don’t put different cases on the same line. Della can’t come back.”
“It’s not that I’m going to let Della live. Just like I made my decision for Marie carefully, I’m going to make my decision with careful judgment this time.”
Making the decision to kill can be made at the last moment.
Because I thought and thought until the last moment, I saved Marie, and I think I got the best result. It’s because you can’t solve everything with short-circuit thinking alone.
“Area.”
I call that name.
Then, Erua immediately rushed at Andy.
“…Tsk.”
Seeing Er Ah rushing at her, Andy brandishes her sword.
In response to Andy’s sword, Erua lightly dodged and stepped on the ground.
“.”
Powerful wind pressure emanates from the tip of Erea’s feet. It’s weak compared to the wind pressure generator I used last time.
But that alone was enough to hurt Andy.
If Andy is desperately trying not to fall,
Erua swings her sword as it is and attacks her.
– Ting! Ting! Ting!
Era’s sword and Andy’s sword keep colliding.
Erua launches an offensive through continuous attacks, and apparently Andy is on the defensive.
Andy is losing control because he can’t get his breathing right.
“Keugh…”
“…….”
Er Ah smoothly kicks Andy with her foot.
Andy tries to react somehow, but she is pushed back by Erea’s kick.
“Senior Parfum, are you going to keep fighting?”
I ask about that.
Erea isn’t called the strongest in the academy for nothing. None of the students could beat Erua.
It is true that Andy has excellent divine power and great damage, but in the end, it means nothing if she can’t hit her attack.
Erra has the mobility and ability to respond to the extent of seeing and avoiding all of Andy’s attacks.
Her damage may be weaker than her Andy’s, but she’s that much.
Andy can never beat Erea.
“There’s nothing good about confronting me, the leader of the student knights.”
“Is it okay to confront Claire, Her Highness’s confidant, and Erua, the strongest in the academy?”
“…I heard that the duke’s family is crazy, but surprisingly there are a lot of people.”
“Even if you’re a fool, you’re from a ducal family.”
“Tsk.”
Andy clicks her tongue. It’s annoying that I won’t say a word.
From noble mtl dot com
Watching that made me want to kick her tongue too. If she’s annoyed herself, shouldn’t she know that others are annoyed too?
I’m already pretty annoyed.
“What about Della? I’m here to kill him.”
“…That’s unexpected. What about Jaca Ancilla?”
“Of course he kills Jay Carr as well. She needs to get rid of the rest first.”
“Hmm…”
They must have been people who were once his subordinates, but are they rotten?
What… , Bocchan’s personality is a good thing. After all, this year will pass and you will no longer meet.
“Whatever happens to Della is up to me. If she gets pushed, just squash her.”
I sneaked behind Era and said.
Andy opens her mouth as if to say something, but she closes it again.
You know. She knows that she can’t defeat Er Ar.
So whatever conclusion I draw, Andy has no power to deny it.
The situation on the top floor has been sorted out to some extent.
Andy was caught by Erea and dragged into the student council room. She’s attached Linnet, so by now she should be explaining our situation to the student council president.
“──Blood for life, life for blood.”
With the trigger word in my mouth, I cut the carotid artery in my left wrist.
Blood is flowing.
The spilled blood touches the floor and creates a pool of blood.
And the next moment, drops of blood come to mind.
The blood that floated up began to seep into Claire’s injured arm,
Eventually, it transforms into bone and flesh and begins to create arms.
“What is this…”
Claire looks at her with a gruesome expression.
This is the result of the hard work of making Catalyst.
Is a new skill learned through the Received from Muri.
The skill effect is as follows. First, specify a target.
Inflicts damage on the target and recovers itself.
Or inflict damage to yourself to recover the target.
“Eh, Ariel…. Guess, are you okay…?”
“It’s okay. You can drink the potion anyway.”
I said while spraying the potion on the wound.
Lost HP or minor injuries can be recovered with potions, but in the case of body damage, normal potions cannot fix it. That’s why I had no choice but to fix Claire’s arm, even if I had to bleed a bit.
Thanks to that, I seem to be slightly anemic, but,
“I’ll treat you, boy.”
Even that got better because Rachel next to her activated her sacred art. This is why it is convenient to have one priest in the party.
So the general situation was sorted out,
Now there is only one thing left.
“Della, can you hear me yet?”
Della kept banging her head on the floor.
He was like this the whole time, as if he was dead. Seeing as she doesn’t run amok, it doesn’t seem like she’s completely lost her humanity yet,
“…….”
There are no words coming back. It must have been pushed to the limit to the point where it was difficult to communicate.
Sighing, I drew my sword.
“I’ve thought about it. What you did to me. What you guys did to me.”
Since the day I became Ariel, I feel like I’ve been going through irrationality. I didn’t do anything wrong, but people insult me, drive me into a corner, and even try to kill me.
Of course I can’t help but be angry. Why do I have to live with being hated? Why do i have to be like this
“That’s why I think it’s karma for you guys to become monsters.”
Somehow, I end up thinking that I am also a human being. It’s called Sam’s pain.
But I don’t know if I wanted this ending. Perhaps they are suffering worse than dying.
Would it have been right to tell Claire to kill all 25 people involved?
“Forgive me.”
I said so.
Then Della raised her head.
“Yes…?”
“I forgive you.”
I came to a conclusion.
To kill or not to kill…. I realized that this is not the problem.
I know Della doesn’t really want to die.
Humans want to survive, and that is a natural instinct.
Just like I tried to survive.
So the reason Della came to me until she turned into a monster wasn’t because she wanted to die,
“So forgive yourself too.”
I think that was the purpose.
Because there are lingering lingering feelings, even after becoming a monster, he couldn’t forgive himself.
He came to pay the final penalty…… I decided to think on my own.
Anyway, I was her colleague once.
Although it was for a limited time, we attacked the dungeon together, She
She was betrayed, but she also got her witch’s book thanks to her.
If she says that she is sincere in feeling sorry for me, then she thinks this is the best.
Anyway, this is the end for each other.
It would be ideal for me and her to part without any more discomfort.
“……Thank you.”
She said.
I nod and draw my sword.
The blade cuts through her spine and spills her blood.
The lifeless weight hits the ground, … And everything is over.
“Claire, move it somewhere out of sight.”
“…I could have done it, is it okay?”
“It’s okay. There’s no problem.”
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling bitter, but I was more comfortable than I thought.
Since you can’t choose the best, you can only choose the best at the moment.
If looking at this ideal is overkill, I just don’t regret my choice.
Because I don’t want to live with regrets.
“……To come to the mirror room. You guys are amazing.”
That was what the student council president, Wiris Tanpel, said as she left the student council room.
“Thanks to that, I received help… But as the student council president, I have no choice but to tell them to refrain from reckless behavior.”
“Thanks for the advice. I hope you will help us if you don’t mind.”
“Ah, I have to give back as much as I received. I’ll keep this a secret from Professor Catherine.”
Wiris nods her head.
She is also in the same 4th grade as Bianca and Andy, and she speaks very well. Is that why she is the president of the student council?
“And this is the master key kept in the student council president. With this, you can open the mirror room.”
Wiris handed me the key.
“…Are you just lending the master key in its entirety?”
“Isn’t it impossible? There are still monsters roaming around inside the building. That’s why I can’t go with you.”
Only the top floor of the student hall has been cleaned up. It’s not easy to escape because monsters keep coming in.
So, the survivors say they plan to continue the sit-in in the student council room.
“The knock on the door was really hard. So the key, it’s kind of a service to him.”
“Is that so… I’ll return the key after things settle down.”
So we parted ways with Wiris and headed to the mirror room this time.
I opened the mirror room using the master key, but the entry conditions are still the same. Those who do not meet the conditions are not allowed to enter.
A person belonging to one of the student council, leadership club, or student knights. And only one companion each.
Er Ah, a member of the Order of the Honorary Student, and I enter as her companion.
As compensation for the Yoshua incident, Claire, whose qualifications for the Student Knights have been restored, and Marie enter as her companion.
Bignette, a leading member, and Rachel come in as his companion.
Andy, the leader of the Student Knights, enters.
“…What are you thinking, Ariel Beheritt?”
As soon as Andy walks in, she glares at me.
Come to think of it, the expression was wrong. Andy didn’t just come in, he was ‘pulled’ into it.
“Jayka ansilla-senpai once said that he wanted to meet Lucius. So, if Parfum-senpai is going to kill Ansilla-senpai, she should at least do it after Lucius.”
I said so.
There are three unsettling factors in this strategy.
The unknown cause of Apocalypse’s explosion 4 days early, the ‘professor”s behavior that was not in the original work, and Andy Parfum’s movement line that has changed somewhat.
Among them, I called her to this place to keep her Andy Parfum sealed.
“…Have you ever met Jika?”
“I saw it in County of Findelnerca.”
Answering that, I focused on the mirror.
As Erua manipulates the mirror, the scenery inside the auditorium is revealed.
The abyss is full of monsters.
Not only that, but the entire building was filled with things like mucous membranes. For some reason, there were plants growing all over the auditorium, so it was a bad scene.
In it, Jaca Ancilla…… Stand still
“…Is Jayka human?”
Andy, who was watching the mirror together, muttered.
She was completely different from the infected people she had seen so far.
Because it was difficult to think that he was infected.
He always stands as he usually does.
Jaca Ancilla.
The boss monster of Chapter 2 Apocalypse.
