Episode 125 -important person
A huge explosion is heard from behind.
The only ones behind me right now are Cyclops and Sharwen.
I’ve never heard of a Cyclops being able to use magic, so that must be Sharwen’s magic.
Looking back, I couldn’t see the flames, but the power of the flames was evident from the explosion and the heat that could be felt even here.
‘I don’t have to worry about the back.’
If you can use that level of magic, at least you won’t have to worry about dying. Even if you can’t deal with the Cyclops, you can at least seriously injure him.
So now… All you have to do is focus on chasing the fleeing enemies.
The other senses, reinforced by the [Sixth sense], Roughly grasped the presence of the butler and the bandage and were pursuing them somehow, but the distance was seldom reduced to within 15m, so they could not be seen.
‘I’m sure he’s following properly, right?’
The absence of vision gave me great anxiety.
No matter how strong the other senses are, if you miss a movement with one mistake, that’s it.
Of course, you could get Kami’s help again, but that was a last resort because it would take a long time.
Of course, if it’s simply chasing after running, I don’t have to worry about missing the [Sixth sense].
However, the other person is not an ordinary guy.
As long as there is no reliable information called vision, if the bandage guy sets up the [Eroded] People in advance and then swaps them out, it’s as if I have no way of knowing.
As I gritted my teeth and ran along, Park Se-rin approached me and looked at me.
From noble mtl dot com
“Junior. Calm down a little.”
“… Yes?”
“You are in such a hurry right now. Then you miss the things you shouldn’t miss.”
“… ….”
You are not wrong. Because I was running with a sense of impatience right now.
In this excited state, as she said, there was a possibility of missing their movements.
When I nodded slightly, Park Se-rin smiled in satisfaction.
And at that moment.
Koo-goo-goo-goo.
The earth’s axis began to shake, and numerous enemies were detected by [Sixth Sense].
Feeling it a little later than me, I shouted to the people running in front.
“Everyone avoid it!”
And at the same time, the floor cracked and cracked, and things like hard dark red tentacles spurted out.
“… Tree roots?”
It’s also very big.
I’ve never heard of it. There are monsters that take the form of various plants, including trees.
Could it be that even those kinds of monsters were able to [Erosion]?
Hui Iik!
The rapidly swinging roots hit my body.
Although the sword swung by a narrow car blocked the root.
Kagagak!
Far from being cut off, the iron-hard roots blew me back with overwhelming force.
Koo-woong!
It flew far away and landed on the ground. The blunt shock I felt on my back shook my mind.
Could it be because he hit something hard? My arms are buzzing.
“Ah….”
Grabbing the ringing head, I barely got up and approached the tree again, and I started to see the invisible comrades 15m outside.
Pak Se-rin and Seria were avoiding the roots rushing towards them and cutting down the corrosive monsters that rushed towards them, and Galowin saved his colleagues in danger by shooting electricity from time to time from behind.
Rukia was beside such a Garlowin, diligently casting illusions on the corrosive body and disturbing it, and Dina was flying in the air, bombarding the tree-shaped monster with a carpet.
Pu pu pu pu pu pu pu pup!
Dozens or hundreds of black flame spheres shot from Dina’s hand were shot at the huge tree monster and exploded all at once.
But unfortunately, it didn’t do much damage.
Of course, that doesn’t mean she couldn’t do any damage.
The bark on her tree was digging as Dinah fired her fireballs frantically like her machine gun.
However, it was certain that it would take a long time to fight like this.
Then again, giving time to the bandages and the butler would be no different than giving them time to prepare.
Moreover, since they are going deeper and deeper, a much longer time than we are experiencing will be given to them.
However, many people cannot be left out here.
There are a total of 74 erosive bodies here, including trees.
If you include the cyclops and the butler who carried the bandages, there are a total of 76.
That means everything is here except for one [Erosion].
We need someone who can hold on to the last one.
But right now, only Dina can deliver a proper blow to the tree, and Pak Se-rin is busy dealing with other corroding creatures.
In addition, if Garlowin and Rukia lose their support, everyone could be in danger in an instant.
‘Do I have no choice but to go after him alone?’
It’s still subtle, but I can feel the bandages and the butler’s presence, so I can still chase after it now.
However, there is a difference in the flow of time, so if you go alone, it is impossible to expect help when you are in danger.
‘Damn it.’
I turned around and started chasing the butler and the bandage.
If you miss it here, you may never catch up.
If you go deeper into the flow of time, really.
Taat!
It shoots at the fastest possible speed towards the presence that can still be felt… I felt another function right next to me, so I turned around.
“Where are you going?”
Seria was running after me, looking at me.
No, she would be wrong to say that she was looking at me, since she has no eyes, but somehow I felt she was looking at me.
When I couldn’t answer in surprise, Seria looked in front of her for a moment, then nodded her head.
“You must have been chasing that one. Okay.”
“…… How did you follow me?”
“… ? I just followed you because I saw you running somewhere.”
Seria tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what I meant.
“It’s not like that, they should have been fighting over there, but how did the corroding bodies come out?”
“Ah… A girl named Park Se-rin told the kid that you ran, and she told me to run after her?”
“… ….”
I just started running. But the fact that she had already asked Se-rin Park and followed her….
Even though I had already run so much that the flow of time changed once more, she caught up with me in an instant.
And that meant that there was a huge difference in skill between me and her now.
‘I was stupid.’
In the past, Letricia… So, when Seria invaded the academy, she thought I would stop her, even if it meant reducing the number of victims.
However, seeing the difference in strength that I have now, which is dozens of times stronger than before, I think I know how stupid I was in the past.
If the story didn’t change, if she had really come in as her first boss, I would have been dead.
Even that was an incredibly futile dog death.
When I thought about that, I burst into laughter. Seria, who was running next to her, looked at me like that, and she made a strange expression.
“… Why are you laughing?”
“It was just reassuring.”
“… ?”
And to put it another way, it means that now that we are on the same team, we have no choice but to be that strong.
Then she suddenly had a question and asked her.
“But you were fighting a lot until just now.”
“Yes.”
Seria nodded her head slightly.
“By the way, how did you see me?”
It was a quiet escape, but no matter how great the difference in skills, seeing me in the middle of a frantic fight meant that they were always checking on me.
Seria tilted her head as if she was contemplating whether she could say this, then continued speaking slowly.
“Sally… I said you were important to us.”
“An important person?”
Seria shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t even know herself.
“I don’t know exactly. Shelly just asked me to take good care of you.”
“Aha.”
She told Shelly that she couldn’t get enough of her, so she followed Shelley’s request and said that she was constantly taking care not to put me in danger.
I’m important to them?
When Sally said that, she must have meant that Celestia, the saint of her prophecy, was attached to her.
And she is a person who was willing to give up her own life to lead her best future.
The fact that Celestia was thinking like that must mean that I am the key that Celestia needs in order to go to the best future she wants.
That means….
“I’m sure I’ll miss it.”
Seria muttered from the side.
“Let’s speed up a little bit.”
“Yes?”
You’re already running as fast as you can?
“Stay right behind me and follow me.”
“Huh?”
Then he jumps first and runs away.
Uh… Uh uh…….
“… Damn it.”
Kwaaang!
In the end, I had no choice but to run, straining my legs just like when I ran outside to avoid erosive bodies.
