Chapter 128 – Defeat / Part 1 Wan
That shadow had no power whatsoever.
It was an attack with no reason for the Awakened to hesitate.
Moreover, if that Awakener is at the same level as me.
However, human instinct is to flinch if something huge is flying towards it.
Because the instinct for survival is much stronger than you think.
Moreover, what if no threat was felt from the attack?
If you don’t feel anything even though it’s an attack from someone who was threatening you just now, anyone will start to suspect you.
That attack is something different than before.

Moreover, the form of the attack was so ugly that it reminded me of a demonic sword, so it was all the more so.
That’s why the bandage guy was also wary of shadows.
Kooung.
“…… ?”
Thanks to you, I was able to achieve what I wanted.
Perhaps he was prepared to give up his remaining arm, he blocked the shadow sword with his arm, but contrary to his determination, the shadow sword just melted away with a small impact.
And in between.
Faaagh!
“aaagh!”
Sensing my intentions, Seria immediately rushed at her butler and slashed her tentacles.
The butler tried to counter it somehow, but the difference in strength was obvious.
His left arm was cut off when the butler threw out his left fist. When he tried to kick with his right foot, his left foot was cut off instead, causing him to lose his balance, and when he tried to stand up again with his right foot, his right arm was cut off.
“Quaaagh!”
A desperate scream echoes through the Black Forest.
“What the f*ck!”
The bandage, which belatedly grasped the situation, spat out curse words and tried to run towards Seria.
Turbuck.
I wasn’t the one to leave it alone.
I used up all my strength with just one step. All she can do now is stand still while barely maintaining her remaining magic power.
The bandage guy saw me blocking my way and distorted his face so that I could see his face through the bandage.
“You damn bastard!”
The bandage moved the bandages on its body and swung at me to kill me.
Right before his bandages pierce my flesh.
“Stop!!”
The butler, with only one right leg left, shouted to Bandage.
Why? What on earth made the bandages stop killing me?
If it hadn’t been stopped, at least I could have taken it.
The bandage also made a puzzled expression, but soon recovered the bandage as if it were calm.
“Yes… It still remains.”
Madness lingers in the eyes of the bandage who says that.
Looking into those eyes, I realized once again that these guys are insane.
Well, that’s why he must have thought of using [Erosion] To kill and consume people.
“Ha! I never meant to be this ugly.”
A lot of bandages shot out from the bandage guy in an instant, and got stuck in the trees around him.
The bandaged guy, floating in the air with the power of the bandages, raised his middle finger towards Seria and shouted.
“Goodbye, b*tch!”
Then, using the bandage like a wire, it started to move away at a crazy speed.
“I… !”
Seria tried to chase after her, but her butler, who had only one leg left on her, called and stopped her.
“Can I just go?”
Those words were like asking if it was okay not to kill myself.
“Even though I say I have one leg left, I’m finer than that bastard running around over there. If you go after him, will I kill him?”
Seria stopped and clicked her tongue as she saw the butler.
“Did you mean to threaten me with something like that?”
Then tentacles crawled out of her eyes again and began to fly in to decapitate her butler.
“Remember! I will soon open my eyes in a new body….”
Squeaky.
That was the will of the butler.
Then, in my fading consciousness, the last thing I saw.
“Ah… sh*t.”
She was going after the bandage once more, but when she saw me lying down, she scratched the back of her head in annoyance and approached me.
*
Roaring!
Cyclops burned to death in an invisible fire was truly gruesome.
She lived with fire all her life and burned and killed many enemies in various battles such as the Great War.
“… Damn. I can’t see you.”
Seeing the cyclops melt and burn, charred and dying painfully, unobscured by the splendor of her flames, was a rare sight even for her.
In addition, Cyclops’ regenerative power and tenacity are beyond imagination, and it has been maintained for a long time.
“… It took longer than expected.”
After confirming that the Cyclops had completely stopped breathing, Charwen turned her steps back.
It’s true that I’m pretty tired from dealing with Cyclops, but the other party must be having a hard time too. I have to go and help.
You will regret it for the rest of your life if you hear that someone has died in the meantime.
Cough, Cough, Charwen coughed once and started to follow in the direction her party was running.
“… Is this right?”
It’s not certain because everything was burned and broken during the fight.
As I continued walking with anxiety, I encountered a familiar animal.
“It’s black.”
Surprisingly, she seemed to know that she had come and came out to meet her.
She bent down and stretched out her hand to stroke her head, but Kami easily dodged with her gentle movements.
Then she cried once with an angry expression.
Meow-.
As if telling her to come after her, he turns around and runs away.
Embarrassedly retrieving her hand that had brushed the air, Sharwen began to follow her with a dissatisfied look on her face.
When she finally arrived, a shocking sight unfolded.
The corpses of demons that formed a mountain.
A torn tree wriggling as if it were alive.
And those who are united in the middle to rest their tired bodies.
Although they were all covered in scars, seeing them huddled together and resting brought a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the corpses of some demon beasts are still wriggling, it seems that the battle has just ended.
Charwen, who rushed to her comrades gathered in a happy heart, saw something in her and had no choice but to stop talking.
“… Is that Siwoo Han?”
A man lying on the floor with his whole body covered in [Erosion], Which exudes an ominously vicious energy.
At first glance, it was not normal.
Was it [Erosion]? Before that, is it true that he is still alive?
Are we defeated?
Sharwen asked them in a trembling voice.
“… What happened?”
She prayed as she did. Please, I hope that the thoughts he came up with are just his own illusions.
Seria, covered in scars, leaned against the wriggling tree and quietly opened her mouth.
“The bandages escaped with one arm cut off, and the man behind [Erosion] Is dead.”
She said that far and twitched her brow a little before correcting her words.
“… To be exact, only half died.”
Then she pointed her finger at the fallen Han Siu.
“The other half of him is clinging to Siwoo Han’s body.”
Charwen closed her eyes tightly.
“Then… So what should I do? Siwoo Han….”
“I have to wait first.”
“… ….”
Seria looked at Han Siu with her nonchalant eyes.
“Because I’ve already escaped [Erosion] Once. You have to believe it.”
Seria tried to follow her words with her something, but she stopped. But Charwen knew instinctively what she was about to say.
If Han Siu can’t overcome [Erosion], He has to kill him.
Not only her, but everyone in her place probably knows.
In the first place, if he can’t overcome the [Erosion], He won’t be Han Si-woo anymore.
It’s just that the enemy who regained a new body is returning.
Dina’s hand, which was holding the hand of Siwoo Han, who had fallen down, went into strength.
I’ve been trying to get rid of [Erosion] By constantly infusing mana, but the effect was negligible.
“Ugh….”
Dina, who had consumed her mana excessively, felt her dizzy and stumbled, and Park Se-rin, who was next to her, supported her.
After a moment of silence, Garlowin suddenly opened her mouth.
“Let’s go back to the academy for now.”
“… Are you okay?”
There was no malice in Charwen’s question. She just asked if it was okay to take Han Siu back, who didn’t know what condition she would be in.
However, it was unavoidable that the impression of Han Siu and his close friends was crumpled. Of course, they knew very well that it was inevitable, so they didn’t say anything.
“Even so, you won’t gain anything by staying here.”
He missed the bandage, and the [Erosion] Was the last thing left on Siwoo’s body.
There was no more work left to do here.
“Above all, there are quite a few people at the academy who can help.”
Sally and Stia who received the blessing of the stars.
If those two lend their strength, it might be possible to remove the [Erosion] Attached to Siwoo Han’s body.
Whether or not he can open his eyes again is up to Siwoo Han.
