86. Extreme
The enemy before your eyes,
It’s not like a giant monster.
The rag prayers held in the main auditorium,
Not Arachne, who had a hard time during the dispatch.
Just one human being.
So, tactics also had to change.
The tactic of Scarlett and I rushing in at the same time and killing each body part at a time doesn’t work.
Of course, the power she possesses is a shame when compared to the monsters she has faced so far.
It wasn’t a particular disadvantage.
George just changed his methods.
Kwaang!
A roaring noise that echoes continuously.
Sounds that are too heavy to be made by two spears facing each other.
The flashes and sparks that lifted the curtain of the pitch-black night made it look as if two women were dancing.
Kwaang!
At first glance, it may seem like they are in close harmony.
“Ugh…!”
To the point where I can’t hide my moans,
Clearly the cleric was being pushed back.
Scarlett is not particularly good at defense.
If you touch it even once, it will be a fatal blow.
However, the circuitry of the left arm was scratched due to Pelia’s karma. Because of the abilities that have become imperfect thanks to it.
Also, because I know her attack pattern and perfectly block Scarlett’s gaps.
Scarlett was able to push her opponent ‘without worrying about getting hit’.
Crispy!
The moment when the tip of the cleric’s spear collided with the blood world again.
The owner of the stigma allowed an effective hit.
Kwaang!
“Ahh!”
It was a new spear stuck in the exact center of the body,
There were no vents in her stomach.
However, the blow was enough to cause her body to lose its balance and crash into her wall.
Boom!
The legs, which proudly stood on the ground no matter what the situation, eventually made contact with the ground.
The sound of her clattering footsteps gets closer to her.
Scarlet was approaching the cleric,
I also followed suit.
With Scarlett’s self-talk.
“…How did this happen?”
She was someone who knew how to distinguish between public and private matters.
The cleric tried to kill him,
What he did in her back alley was by no means forgivable.
Now that I know that,
There was no hesitation at the tip of the spear.
The emotions contained in that self-talk are,
It was deep regret.
Understand!
The sound of cutting through the air.
Just before she finished off her former comrade.
Just before the ‘real’ spear was hurled into the Cleric’s neck, her body became blurred for a moment.
Whoosh!
“…Huh?”
The tip of her spear was caught.
Her circuit was so damaged that she caught her divine spear with her frail hand.
Soon, a word is heard.
“Me…”
The source of the emotions imprinted in the stigma,
Her original sin.
Jealousy.
“Don’t look down…”
I gently grabbed Scarlett’s clothes.
So that she can throw it back at any time without her noticing.
Bijijik-
Circuit that would have been completely damaged shines again.
In her hand, a new spear is formed.
Just as Velen made the wrong choice,
She too was eaten by her emotions.
Even if her personality completely collapses,
He wants to kill the traitor in front of him.
And, the stigma given by Arca.
It was enough to turn that broken resolve into irrational power.
“Original sin.”
From Noble mtl dot com
The moment you hear that trigger word,
I pulled Scarlett by the back and threw her behind her.
And, at that moment.
Paang!
The Cleric’s spear pierced the spot where she was standing, as if it had reached her by folding space.
If I had known in advance and had not taken Scarlett away,
It was a fatal blow.
The tip of the spear that tore through the air,
He headed straight towards me.
Bam!
Immediately a blood system was created in front of me,
I could have blocked that window.
She did not correct her posture.
Without withdrawing her spear, she increased its power.
Bijijik-
And, as if to show off.
A cleric who reforges spears in real time.
A copy that surpasses the original.
She lifted the limits of that ability.
Crispy!
A blood world that has never been breached before,
It was completely destroyed.
The blood system is broken into pieces and scattered before your eyes.
The tip of the spear stopped right in front of my nose.
The stigma of jealousy.
The ability given by Arca is to copy the ability of her opponent.
She cloned the current Scarlett, the strongest human inherent in that circuit.
But now it is different.
After being prepared to wear out and crumble that personality, what has now been recreated before my eyes.
“Double reproduction.”
Reproducing the abilities of two people simultaneously,
Her foot instrument.
A state where mine and her abilities coexist.
In a word, what I will deal with from now on is.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Scarlett has turned on her runaway ability.
Dismissal!
Due to the enormous shock wave, the glove covering the brand on my right hand was torn.
When my stigma was revealed,
The cleric stops when he sees that.
“…Aha.”
A smile appears on the desperate face.
“Now I understand.”
She twists her head grotesquely and giggles.
Her finger was pointed at me.
“You.”
“……”
“You’re the same squire as me?”
Laughter becomes closer to screaming.
The reason she looked so cheerful was,
She behind me. It may be because Scarlett, whom I saved, spilled a word without realizing it.
“…Same?”
Paaat!
I fell back and widened the distance.
The cleric did not move.
Me and Scarlett,
As if he could kill me at any time.
With tremendous power on his back, which adds to his overwhelming confidence.
The Cleric began to mock Scarlett.
“I thought you were chosen all this time.”
“……”
“I thought you were the only one saved. But the reality is that even you are miserable, Scarlett.”
The cleric’s finger pointed to her own neck, and then to her right hand.
“I was fooled by you, and you were fooled by that guy. That’s it! You were no different from me!”
She looks confused.
I looked at Scarlett.
“Instructor…”
“…”
“Do you know what that means?”
Although she was the one who hesitated for a moment,
I answered.
“I know.”
“…And?”
“I also intend to let you know.”
Of course, I have no intention of revealing it now.
She does not know the existence of the stigma,
She will never know.
But, to the heroine who will have to repeat ‘this’ with me in the future.
I also had a duty to convince people of what kind of person Ivan was.
Even if that may be slightly off from the truth.
So, this situation may not have been my intention.
It was not an accident, but an inevitability.
“…Okay.”
And she believed in me.
I also had to repay the trust.
“Let’s take turns.”
“What?”
“I will fight and create a gap.”
I already knew that Cleric was going to end up in ruins.
So, we had to prepare accordingly.
Everything I have done so far,
This is the paving stone for this.
What overturned the board itself was,
It is also to isolate the cleric.
Fundamentally, it was to create an environment where I would fight without hesitation.
The back alleys today are,
Even if I fall, there is no one to kill me.
“Runaway.”
The front of my eyes turns bright red,
All senses are pushed to the limit.
However, it is still far from enough.
With the level of power-up when sparring with Celeste, you can’t even deal with the monster in front of you.
So, I repeated it.
“Runaway.”
Overlapping cast.
Runaway in a runaway state.
My body, which had been stretched to its limit, became so hot that every part of it felt numb just by standing there.
“…Your eyes-“
Something flowed under my eyes.
When I wiped it away, there were no tears.
The vein burst.
After wiping it off, I rushed over.
Kwaang!
My fist and the cleric’s spear collide.
It was a move that the current Ivan could never make, but the cleric who blocked me was still smiling.
“So, do you think that b*tch is important?”
“…”
“I’m going to end up using it and throwing it away. Huh?”
That was half true.
Because I am taking advantage of her.
I was possessed,
I’m going to get out of here.
I’m going to go home, wash my feet, and sleep.
So, my life comes first above all else.
But, I don’t know why.
I felt strongly that it had to end here, beyond the interests involved.
Because she didn’t want to use him as her outcast.
With very small probability,
Without ruling out the possibility that my body will collapse and die. I repeated it again.
“Runaway.”
Quad deuk!
I can hear the sound of my body being twisted from within.
A runaway that overlapped three times.
Slowly, my mind becomes dazed and my vision becomes blurry.
How long can she endure?
How long can this state be maintained?
One minute? No, ten seconds?
Well, I’m not sure because I’ve never used it three times in a game. One thing was certain.
Kwasik!
“What…!”
A new spear that breaks in half.
Even though I only have a few seconds left,
That’s enough.
The Cleric’s arm has nothing to block.
I grabbed that arm with my right hand.
And then, I twisted it just like that.
It was twisted so easily.
Plap!
“aaah!”
He grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the floor.
She is pushed into that state mercilessly.
Bad! Bye!
There are a lot of sounds of things breaking somewhere.
It didn’t matter at all whether it was my hand bone or her ribs.
The occasional counterattack,
It looked so slow, as if it had stopped.
I didn’t even feel the need to use the blood system.
Bad!
My consciousness was getting closer and closer to the abyss.
Actually, I had already collapsed, and I even thought that I might be repeating this in my dreams.
Park!
The sound of her pushing me away with all her might woke me up again.
And then, the cleric looked with blurry eyes.
“Ugh, ugh… Ugh.”
It was a miserable situation.
Every part of my body was twisted to the point that I could barely stand.
“Why, why… Are you doing this?”
“…Well, I don’t know.”
“Look at what you’re doing. You’re going to die soon! Scarlett, what on earth is that b*tch to do like this!”
The struggle of the owner of the stigma.
And, the power I used by risking my life.
After that ignorant competition,
A situation where both sides are in complete disrepair.
However, it is not a draw.
What I had, she lost.
“Cleric.”
“Shut up! You’re about to vomit blood and die. Don’t try to lecture me like you’re proud!”
Like Pelia did,
I also fell short by one point.
The cleric approaches me with his last strength,
I had barely even had the strength to move.
But, the thing that caught my eye was my facial expression.
Only a bitter smile.
“Do you think Scarlett deceived you and deceived you inwardly?”
The cause of all this Satan,
I was the one repeating it again.
As if I don’t want to hear any more,
A cleric clenching his fist right in front of me.
Like that, not Shinchang or anything else.
Just before the hand of a human cleric took my life.
I finished speaking.
“You don’t have eyes for people.”
Those are the last words I remember,
Those were probably the last words she heard.
Phew!
From Noble mtl dot com
A sound that pierces the skin.
A real spear protruding from the cleric’s abdomen.
And the blood spreading around it.
Scarlett, who stabbed her,
She was lowering her head.
“……”
Blood flowed from the cleric’s mouth.
“Skaar, let…”
Jealousy etched into her soul.
A loser who couldn’t surpass the original until the end.
But, in that empty, scattered voice.
It was not anger or jealousy, but another, vague feeling.
“…Cleric.”
We once relied on each other.
Scarlett, her comrade in arms,
I called the cleric’s name and grabbed my spear.
Phew!
By twisting the inserted divine spear,
The bad relationship has ended.
