135. stop
“Amelia…”
I had never imagined in my life what a wounded Master would look like.
She would have been safe if she had been inside the prepared barrier, but she blocked the dragon’s attack with her entire body for Luke’s sake.
Master seemed to be in so much agony even standing up that he collapsed into my arms.
“…How much time do you have left?”
she asked me
I didn’t say what time it was, but the mana inside my body, which was rapidly decreasing, was giving me clues.
Luke’s unique magic. that…
Magic that freezes time.
It was an incredibly fraudulent ability.
Was it his unique magic that restored the test site to its original state during the first test?
Judging by the current rate of decline, the time I can endure…
“Two minutes.”
It was clear that if he used more than that, he would not have any mana left.
“…I’ll talk quickly and finish. I don’t have time, so just listen.”
I nodded without saying anything.
“…I lost.”
I couldn’t see what face she was making because she was hiding her face in my chest.
“Mana. Mana. I used up all of them while blocking the attack a while ago. Even talking is painful because my internal organs are all turned upside down.”
“Then I’d rather not say anything right now…”
“Shh.”
She raised her bloodied hand and brought her index finger to my mouth.
“Just listen.”
“As soon as your magic ends, I’ll return to the Demon Castle. I’m not in a physical condition to fight Rebecca anymore.”
“And this.”
She handed me a scroll from her bosom.
“This…”
“This… is a scroll containing magic that allows you to call upon me…”
“So… just in case… if you change your mind… if you find me even then…”
Amelia-sama was unable to speak properly as if her throat had been choked.
I didn’t know what Luke would say, but I gave her a hug.
Stronger than anyone else, she looked like an ordinary young lady now.
“…Please don’t run into me in the Pandemonium.”
A single tear flowed from her eye.
“I love you… Luke.”
wajangchang.
The time that had stopped due to the exhausted mana began to flow again.
The black-and-white world returned to color and the collapse of the cave accelerated.
The attack that burned Bartina’s vitality soon subsided.
Mistress Amelia knelt on the floor and vomited blood.
“Luke!”
Rebecca ran towards this.
She also didn’t look healthy from Bartina’s attack.
I could see scorched marks here and there.
“…go.”
Amelia-sama whispered to me in a small voice.
As I stood still, unable to leave her, Mistress Amelia weakly stretched out her arms toward me.
It was a wind magic of normal power, but I, who had no mana left, was thrown towards Rebecca without any resistance.
His unbalanced body rolled terribly on the floor.
Rebecca, who was running toward Amelia, turned and came toward me.
“are you okay?”
her worried voice.
Rebecca raised me up.
More than that, Amelia-sama…
I didn’t say it out of my mouth, but I was more concerned about Amelia-sama’s condition than I was.
When I raised my head, Amelia-sama, who barely got up, was opening a portal to the demon realm.
“…The next time we meet, you’ll die by my hands. Rebecca.”
“Amelia!”
Rebecca was so busy supporting me that I couldn’t pursue her.
“Damn it…”
Rebecca cursed in a low voice.
We just had to watch Amelia disappear into the dark side.
But we had to get out of here quickly.
If we made a mistake, this place was on the verge of becoming our tomb.
heart. I had to take the dragon heart.
To pass Rebecca’s final exam. And in order for me to get out of this dimensional rift.
“let’s go.”
At Rebecca’s signal, I started running.
Upon arriving in front of Bartina’s corpse, I was once again stunned at her enormous size.
At this scale, cutting out the heart must be a pain in the ass, right?
“Back off. Luke.”
Rebecca drew her sword.
The roaring red aura shattered Bartina’s scales and cut away her flesh.
neat section. And beyond that…
A huge dragon heart like an emerald that glows green.
But do I have to carry that out here now?
It was difficult to take care of my own body, but there was no way the two of us could carry it out.
There must be another way…
“Go and lay your hand on me, Luke.”
Rebecca crossed her arms and nodded.
does she know something
Following Rebecca’s instructions, I stepped on the corpse and slowly put my hand on the dragon heart.
That was the moment.
Obviously, I felt mana welling up inside me, which was so low that I couldn’t even fire a single magic missile.
It wasn’t to the point of returning to the original state.
I felt a huge amount of mana rushing into my heart, so much so that I doubted whether the human body could handle it.
I thought my body wouldn’t be able to withstand more than this.
I need to let go…
pop.
That was my last memory in my rift.
…When I opened my eyes, I was not in a cave.
What I could see through my blurry vision was the sky dyed red.
This is… where…
I even remembered putting my hand on the dragon heart.
As I raised my arm, a familiar uniform caught my eye.
The uniform I wore for nearly a year.
That means… did I succeed in coming back alive?
I slowly got up.
A field of reeds glowing in the scarlet sunset caught my eye.
It appears to be the entrance to a dimensional rift… This is…
That means Luna too. Seria too. Are you saying you’ve returned safely?
More than anything else, it was more important that the two returned safely.
I was the one who passed the death penalty three or four times without lying.
Well, if they didn’t come back…
no. Let’s not imagine that.
I came to my senses and started running through the endless reed field.
According to the homeroom teacher’s words, now, in this world, two years must have passed.
The first person I met while wandering through the reeds hoping for their safety…
It was Raven.
“…Dog star.”
The emotions in her eyes, which have always been hidden from expression, are…
fear.
What the hell was she looking at?
One step… two steps…
She slowly approached me and came into my arms.
“are you okay?”
Tears started to fall from her eyes.
“I want to see Master…”
For a long time, Raven sadly shed tears from my chest.
I wondered what had happened to her, but I was in no condition to do so.
After barely calming Raven, I started wandering the reeds with her again.
The next thing we found was Zeke.
“Ohhhhh! It’s so nice to see you again! You guys!”
He lifted the two of us with his massive body.
“Yeah~ I almost lost track of it! hahahahaha!”
hmm. It seemed that Zeke passed the ordeal of the rift without much difficulty than he thought.
I started to get more and more nervous as I couldn’t see Luna or Seria very often.
The sun was slowly setting.
I want to meet you soon before it gets dark…
After walking around the reed field together, we thought it was fortunate that more people were alive than we thought.
What I’ve found so far is Raven. karin. Zeke. scale. Natasha.
For those who haven’t found it yet, Seria. Kane. glass. Luna. and Leon.
“Hmm… If everyone succeeds, they’re supposed to come back around the same time.”
Tired of walking around for a long time, Kairin squatted on the floor.
“In fact, if you haven’t seen it until now…”
“Don’t be silly. Kairin.”
Arin pushed Kairin fiercely.
“I don’t expect everyone to be successful, but at least I won’t have to find the hero!”
It was true.
All of these processes are a series of processes to select a warrior party.
It was impossible to go back without a hero.
Bassrock.
We all turned our backs at the sound of someone approaching from behind.
“…Dog star.”
“Luna!”
I ran towards her.
“I’m glad… you’re alive…”
I was sure she would come back, but I could see from the look on her face how scared I was.
“What? You thought I was going to die?”
As always, she smiled at me with a noble expression.
“I’m back. Sirius.”
She wrapped her arms around my shoulders.
“I missed you. Luna.”
After a touching reunion with her, we stopped moving and turned to wait for the rest of us.
It was because it was pointed out that other kids might not be able to find us because we moved.
“…How long are you planning to wait?”
We sat in a circle in a field of reeds and waited for the rest of us with only one bonfire lit even after the sun had set.
“I can’t go back until the warrior comes.”
Natasha answered while playing with the fire spirits.
But how the hell did you come back alive?
To be honest, the two people who seemed most hopeless were Natasha and Leon.
It was the moment when they were talking loudly about what had happened in the cracks.
From nob le mt l. co m
Kwakwagwang.
A pillar of light rose like a bolt of lightning from the darkening sky.
…Seria? Is it Seria?
All of us started running towards it.
The center of a field of reeds that has become a muddy field.
There, as we expected, Seria was there.
But if there was one thing that was different from our expectations, it was…
