Chapter 80 – 22. End (2)
The moment I couldn’t even blink my eyelids.
Before I even came to my senses, my body was already flying in the sky.
······What just happened?
My head doesn’t turn well. As if this moment of swimming in the cloudy sky with the cold wind blowing against my face was all a dream, my mind is fuzzy.
It was a fact that I realized later, but it was not until much later that I realized that I had a hole in my leg thanks to my dulled senses, as if there was fog.
Unlike my watch, which runs slower than normal, the view from the air is ever-changing in real time.
My two eyes stared blankly down.
On top of the colorful flower field that spreads widely in the garden.
Black shadows began to move rapidly in one direction as they exploded in all directions. In the center of it, a woman is tied up and her long purple hair flutters.
A shade that wants to quickly leave the current position with a woman.
However, that attempt collapsed at Iris’ gesture.
Keying!
As sky blue mana covered the entire field of flowers in a hemispherical shape, the garden immediately became isolated from the outside.
Ignoring the shadows, he made a sharp point in front of himself and charged at full speed toward the translucent barrier.
Tung…
The sky-blue curtain swayed in concentric circles like a lake in which stones were thrown, but that was all. The black awl couldn’t pierce the giant bubble.
Shade trying to get out of here, and Iris trying to stop it.
The collision, which occurred more than 10 times in one second, eventually ended with the defeat of the shadow that bounced back.
It was not allowed the option of escaping.
Then, the only thing left is a head-to-head battle.
Princess Jennifer 1 has completely lost her mind and has no movement whatsoever. Her shadow carefully set her down in a corner of her flower garden.
Before long, the shadow turned in the opposite direction and started charging fiercely at Iris. This time, since there is no baggage called a woman, the speed is much faster than before.
But even this, just one gesture from Iris was enough.
Cooooo!!
The intangible pressure held the shadow immobilized. Right after that, a gigantic force crushed it, and the ground in a radius of more than 10m collapsed into a hollow.
The shade desperately tried to break free from the bondage, but it was useless.
The black mass soon compacted completely and disappeared before my eyes.
It was only then that I stepped on the ground with both feet and realized what kind of surprise I had been under.
“Keuugh…!”
“Be patient.”
Sick. My right leg feels like it’s on fire. Just as we begin to feel pain the moment we notice the cut when we cut ourselves in paper, the pain overwhelms us as soon as we see the hole in the middle of our thigh.
Also, reality is not as easy as fiction. Characters in fantasy comics and novels often look fine even if their limbs are cut off…! My limit is to endure unsightly screams.
Fortunately, the pain in the lower body decreased rapidly over time. This is partly due to my gradual adaptation to the pain, but it is largely thanks to the fact that the wound on my thigh has begun to heal at an abnormal speed.
As if my body had the ability to ‘regenerate’, or as if the right leg’s time was going backwards.
The ever-growing new flesh fills the gap little by little.
“Something was hiding in the woman’s shadow.”
As Iris rubbed my shoulders, she unraveled the inside story of the unexpected surprise.
“The shadow was aiming for your heart, so I managed to move your body and hit your thigh instead. ·.”
“Thank you for saving me. But why is the shadow of the first princess…? She has the [Lightning] Attribute.”
“What I annihilated was not the main body, but an alter ego. Is it your missing classmate, Seo Seung-hyeon? Couldn’t he have planted it?”
“·······I don’t think that’s the case. It’s unbelievable that he would even have the time to attack me while running away from here… Besides, the shadow initially tried to protect the 1st princess. Perhaps it was the imperial family’s treasure. Wouldn’t it be something like the hand of ?”
“Epic level [Shadow] Awakened two people in one era…”
The hidden sword of the imperial family that controls shadows.
As soon as I think of this, there is only one person that comes to my mind.
Leah, the Dark Mirror of the Five Views of the Empire.
Amer A woman wearing a mask who stood behind her in her first meeting with the third princess, and a part of the empire’s proud transcendent.
For sure,
When Iris’ alter ego destroyed the academy’s buildings, Leah’s surrounding shadows that blocked it tried to subdue the monster.
If she is of the [Shadow] Attribute, and an alter ego was hiding in the shadows to assist the first princess in her mission today, everything fits perfectly.
“The main body must have noticed the disappearance of the alter ego by now.”
The transcendental figure of the shadow noticed that the first princess was in danger. If my hypothesis is correct, soon Leah will move to rescue Jennifer.
That means, now I don’t have much time to move freely.
“And just now, the Child of [Earth] Killed my clone.”
“!!!”
An alter ego placed near the witch tower to tie Hye-rin, Min-ho, and A-yeong’s ankles. Hyerin succeeded in killing the sky blue monster.
“How?”
“It’s partly because I loosened the control of my alter ego for a while to save you and get rid of the shadows, but… That child seems to be the type to grow a lot in actual combat.”
It seems that Hyerin’s Shinhwa-level talent shined today as well.
Then there really isn’t much time left. I now have to quickly finish the cleanup and goal, and go back to being a ‘mythical awakening student who jumped into danger to save people’.
In no time at all, the treatment for the wound on her thigh was complete.
I looked around.
A messy flower garden.
Emilia covered in semen.
Jonathan’s body melted due to the runaway of the [Poison] Attribute.
And, Jennifer cannot open her eyes after inhaling the poison containing Jonathan’s power.
I stretched out her hand towards her at her feet.
* * *
Min Hye-rin ran.
On either side of her, the dreary cityscape passed quickly. People on the floor and spilled boxes stepped on her eyes, and the bleak and strange silence got on her nerves, but Min Hye-rin did not stop.
The destination is a hill vaguely visible in the distance.
To be precise, it is by Jihoo’s side as he steps alone to fight the shaman who will be there.
She succeeded in subduing the sky-blue monster that kept blocking her path. She didn’t miss the opening of the sudden appearance, and with a teleportation surprise, she slashed its torso with one stroke.
I was very lucky, and the sword attack was exceptionally smooth today. There is also a virtue that her skills improved in real time while dealing with higher-level enemies.
But now it’s a fact that doesn’t matter. In any case, Min Hye-rin has won, and now she must complete her next mission.
Ah-young takes care of the fallen, and Park Min-ho stays by her side.
‘I have to help Jihoo.’
Suddenly,
A red aura swallowed the entire garden.
Huge flames burn the hill fiercely.
The sight of a red-hot wildfire devouring everything in the realm came to her eyes.
At the same time,
“Ugh… What is this?”
“Ah, I’m dizzy…”
One by one, Min Hye-rin clenched her teeth as she shot past the people who began to come to her senses.
Her Jihoo was just as successful as her. He saved the lives of countless people by removing the curse that engulfed the entire city.
But she couldn’t laugh yet.
If so, he Will Jihoo be okay now?
The culprit is a sorcerer who handles sorcery. Interfering with this alone is bound to be a very dangerous move.
Jihoo is better than anyone else, but we are still students.
Min Hye-rin shook her head at the terrible imaginations that kept creeping into her head, and activated her extension power.
As her body moved forward little by little, the figure of the Garden came closer.
It is as if a red mountain is placed on top of a blue mountain.
A dynamic and destructive red being.
A gigantic forest fire worthy of being called a fire demon.
Nearby, Min Hye-rin was able to see the man she had longed to meet again.
“Jihoo!!”
Jihoo is leaning against a shabby stone wall. He was immediately frightened by the blood staining his white shirt, but fortunately, he did not seem to have any major injuries.
“Oh… You came quickly.”
He lifted his hand weakly and waved it from side to side.
On his knees lay a woman with purple hair,
Min Hye-rin didn’t care and hugged Ji-hoo’s neck.
From their distant skies, a pair of shooting stars descended, marking the end of both beings.

Jennifer sank.
Her consciousness is slowly sinking into the abyss of an abyss where she can’t even see an inch in front of her.
As soon as she realized that this was her image world, Jennifer did her best to bring him back to his senses.
She struggled limbs and struggled desperately, but all in vain.
Her world was dark, heavy, and cold as ever.
So when she was caught in the thought that she would fall forever without being able to escape from here in the future—
Something very sharp went through her head.
‘Ugh…!!’
Jennifer doesn’t show her pain at all. Her rigorous training and rich combat experience made her physically and mentally strong.
However, a scream lingered in Jennifer’s chest at the pain of not hitting her hard exterior, but her soft, fundamental interior.
This feeling, once.
Twice.
And three times.
With her throbbing head behind her, her consciousness surged.
“!!!”
Jennifer opened her eyes. The first thing that came into my clearer vision was an unfamiliar ceiling.
She seems to be lying in bed herself.
“Are you awake?”
At the sound of her low voice, she rolled her eyes to her side, and there was a familiar man sitting in a chair by her bed, staring at her.
After stop.
Awakener of the mythical [Heaven] Attribute.
A candidate for the betrothal of her sister, Princess Soniel 2.
And-
“Ugh!”
As she placed her hand on her suddenly throbbing forehead,
The most trustworthy man in the worldAsked Jennifer in a worried voice.
“Are you okay?”
