Episode 152 – Only this time
Did Dina help me?
While fighting the earthworm, the mana that had not properly adapted has completely stabilized.
It was able to handle magic as desired, and was fired at an overwhelmingly stronger speed than before.
“Uh… what…… “
But there was one problem.
Degur… Took. Pennheim’s completely severed head rolled on the floor and hit my foot.
‘I had no intention of killing myself.’
His relationship is the worst of the worst, but he is Dina’s older brother.
Even if I kill her, I thought I should at least listen to her opinion and kill her, so I only cut off her arm….
Suddenly, her magic stabilized and her speed soared, so she swung her sword carelessly and cut her throat.
It was a little strange that she had such an impression that she had committed murder. I wondered if I was too immersed in this world.
Still, if this was the first murder, I wouldn’t have been a little shocked.
Thankfully, this isn’t the first time.
‘… No. Is it the first murder?’
Of course, the one I killed during fantasy training was an exception, and I killed Charon during the academy defense, but….
Actually, when I think of Charon’s appearance at that time….
‘Let’s just say it’s the first murder.’
Even now that I think about it, it was already something to be called a person.
‘I was shocked when I first saw the corpse.’
I still remember it vividly.
When I was kidnapped in the labyrinth, I found the body of a cadet named Yoon Da-min.
Kania patted me on the back after gagging for a while.
Not long after, the monster appeared, so I didn’t have time to get sentimental.
“Siwoo… !”
From far away, Dina comes running, gasping for her breath.
Why are you jumping instead of teleporting? When I looked at her thinking, her face was pale.
It wasn’t because Pennheim died, it was because he was tired and his wounds weren’t healed yet.
‘Did he fight with severe internal injuries?’
To be honest, after Dina appeared, it was so overwhelming that it was embarrassing to even call it a fight, so I thought it was all better, but it seems I was overdoing it.
‘For me… ?’
Did he come because he was worried that I would die fighting Pennheim?
“You killed him! You did very well, Siu!”
It wasn’t!
She was more than happy to see her brother dead, and it made her realize that Dina was not normal for her.
It’s the first time I’ve seen Dina smile like that.
His tone of voice is also extremely light, unlike usual.
But this, on the other hand, would mean that the existence of Pennheim was such a great shackle to Dina.
Since I didn’t see the end of the film, I don’t know what happened to Pennheim there….
‘Maybe it was the same.’
Since Pennheim is irredeemable garbage, it must have died in one way or another.
And Dina must have smiled broadly.

“Ugh… Somehow…….”
She brushed the back of her neck for no reason as she answered, and Dina stopped and quietly looked at Pennheim’s head.
No matter how bad he was, he wondered if he needed to look at his severed head that much.
Then, with a big flinch, he hugged me tightly and stepped back.
“Step back!”
“Oh….”
Embarrassed, I took a step back from Dina, who had hugged my waist, with one hand wrapped around her shoulder.
And at that moment, the surrounding magic began to gather around Pennheim.
‘Couldn’t he have died yet?’
It can’t be.
Even if I don’t know the information about Pennheim, there is no ordinary human being who can survive after being decapitated.
Is Pennheim a normal person? It’s hard to answer again if you ask me, but….
Even so, it’s hard to imagine that Pennheim would be alive after being decapitated.
I hurriedly looked at Dina, and for some reason her eyes met Dina’s slightly reddened face.
When I demanded an explanation of the situation with my eyes, Dina, who had her eyes wide open, opened her mouth.
“… In a few seconds, that bastard’s body will explode. He drew a lot of power with a magic imprint like that and died before he could release it, so his mana is flowing backwards.”
“… How loud does it explode?”
“Ummm… maybe.”
Dina reached out with one hand and pointed right in front of her academy.
“… Until there?”
At those words, Dina shook her head in her sigh.
“From there.”
She then stretched out her outstretched hand in the opposite direction.
“Until the hell. Everything.”
“What?”
It explodes that much?
“Then why doesn’t it explode in the academy direction?”
“Because the academy is protected by magic.”
“Aha!”
Anyway, now is not the time to worry about that.
With an explosion that big, even if you try to protect yourself with magic, you’ll die.
Besides, not only us, but our comrades who were fighting will face the explosion without even being prepared.
“Let’s bounce!”
“It should be.”
Asked while holding Dina tightly and lifting her up.
“Evil! Why are you biting?”
“Oops.”
Asking really made her bite with her teeth. Thanks to her, the marks of my teeth were clearly engraved on the back of her Dina.
She was a little embarrassed and asked, hugging her tighter to calm her down.
“So. How long will it take for that to explode?”
“Sir… maybe….”
Dinah narrowed her eyes and glared at her Pennheim’s torso before continuing her words.
“About 20 seconds later?”
“It’s ruined!”
As it is, she runs like crazy in the direction of her friends.
Thanks to their complete adaptation to magical powers, their distant appearances became closer in an instant.
Contrary to my expectations that they would not know that this place would soon be caught in an explosion, everyone was already preparing to run away.
Ifelsar collapsed from exhaustion, and a caring man carrying Irene on both shoulders, Scarlett and Kania were also present.
Looking at what they were doing huddled together, it seemed that they were trying to get out of the explosion range through Garlowin’s long-distance transfer.
But… Garlowin said, sweating as if things were not going well.
“It’s not easy to open the door because that guy is sucking up all the mana around here. A very small door even if you open it. It would be the limit to open it for a very short time….”
I could tell without listening to the back story. It seems that we can’t all cross over. Isn’t that what you’re talking about?
Dina must have noticed that as well, looking up at me while holding me in my arms.
“Siwoo!”
“I know! We will run!”
“Wait!”
Charwen reached out and tried to catch us, but I was already running.
I’m going to die in a few seconds right now, but I don’t have time for a leisurely conversation!
The caring man who picked up Ifelsar and Iren was also running right behind me.
Of course, it’s not that I’m sacrificing out of baseless confidence or anything like that.
I’m not alone and Dina is here, so there’s no way I could do something like that.
I just believe in my speed, which has become so fast that it would be rude to compare it to before.
Right now, I am a flashlight. Is a ray of light
If you see me running from afar, it will look like a purple meteor.
I wanted to open the status window and check how much I had grown, but….
‘Be patient.’
Didn’t you realize after the ordeal with Han Si-woo? Status is just a number. It is not an indicator of everything.
I will no longer rely on the system.
Since you are running silently like that, from the back aaang——! An explosion is heard.
Has it already been 20 seconds? We’ve just moved out of the city, but we’re still within the blast range.
I shouted while glancing at the self-sufficient man running next to me.
“Go faster!”
“Um.”
After confirming that the man nodded his head as he silently ran.
Key Yiing—! Pupperpuppung!
The purple magic that filled the lower body causes a series of small explosions.
At the moment, a sharp pain came up and I almost got sprained, but somehow I endured it.
‘Because I don’t want to be left behind!’
My body, which began to accelerate with the help of the magic explosion, was literally launched out of my control, and by the time I thought I could safely escape.
Koo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo!
Being swept away by the explosion, my vision was stained white.
… What?
It was a calculation mistake! I guess I haven’t grown that far yet!
‘Is this how I die!’

“…… ?”
The Demon King, who was still swimming in the air watching Siwoo Han and his party, was dumbfounded.
I started running as if I had some good luck, and I was swept away by the explosion without any momentum.
“… Are you stupid? Aren’t you really stupid?”
Certainly, it seems to be much faster than before, but even so, it is still not up to the real paladin.
No, by the time you get the title of a true paladin in the first place, there’s no need to avoid such an explosion.
But that title cannot be obtained simply by becoming stronger, it can only be obtained by overcoming certain trials….
There was no way that Han Si-woo, who was still very weak, could survive in that explosion.
“… ….”
The Demon King, thinking deeply about something, reached out his hand towards them who had already disappeared in the explosion.
“Just this time, hey.”
It took an instant for the black energy that extended from that small hand to gently wrap the bodies of those caught in the explosion.
