Talion Armand was still a person who was proud of his own skills.
The very fact that it is possible to compete with Elijah, who has been awarded the title of warrior given only to the most promising talent on the continent, can be a cause for such confidence.
Of course, recently, I have been feeling that the gap between that side and the world is widening to the level of heaven and earth.
Thanks to this, I feel like my confidence is a little shaky these days.
There is always a monster-like person next to Dowd Campbell. Even in narrow human relationships, if you look at the abilities of the people gathered around them one by one, it is full of people who are ridiculous enough to feel like such things are good.
Let’s start with Elijah, whom I mentioned earlier.
A saint of the church. And the fearsome swordsman who was always by his side, who could kill a dragon with one blow. Among her fellow freshmen, she even went as far as Liru Garda, whom even Elijah couldn’t even think of touching.
Aren’t all those people showing consistent favor to Daoud?
‘…consistent?’
Sometimes it seems like too much favor, which can be a problem, but whatever.
It’s inevitable that you feel intimidated just by being near that man.
“…”
And, Talion realized one more new fact.
It can be funny to feel something like that.
Inferiority caused by comparison is a realistic feeling that only occurs when you feel that you and the other person are ‘similar’ in the first place.
What if the opponent is a monster that touches the heavens?
It may be absurd to feel something like that.
“I found it!”
An extremely frozen land constantly battered by snowstorms filled with magical power. And its ruler is a tiger the size of a house. Also known as Bingho (氷虎).
A magical beast that is said to be equipped with blue gems all over its body, providing protection at all times equivalent to armor made from rare metals, and is said to be capable of handling elemental magic at a level it was born with.
Although this is the case with magical beasts that are considered special, Bingho is not generally considered an object of ‘hunting’.
It’s probably a creature that only appears in hunters’ lore. If you don’t listen, Bingho will come and catch you, a ridiculous creature that can only be used to scare children.
There are three or four special-level monsters, and even the regular knights, who can easily deal with mid-level magicians, have to attack in battalion units to even raise the possibility of subjugation.
The ones above this are the dragons and other-dimensional beasts, and those who are thought to be the only four great asshins, the last of whom were discovered decades ago.
But now, that kind of Bingho.
Just, there is someone who ‘tears apart’ the moment they make eye contact.
“…”
From the time I first entered this hunting ground and was asked to catch Bingho with Elnor within 5 minutes, I thought it was just an intense expression of his wish to do it urgently.
It is already widely known among the students that Elfante’s student council president is a combatant with unprecedented abilities, but he is still a student.
That’s what I was thinking.
Until Elnor, who ran into Bingho, suddenly punched from the spot.
“…?”
My honest impression would be that he seems like a crazy person.
What can a prosecutor do without even drawing his sword in front of such an opponent?
It wasn’t even like he was seriously punching anything. It stood still and stretched forward as if pushing something in the air.
It must be such a bizarre movement that you can’t even see the intention of hitting the other person.
but.
With such a light movement, ‘gray energy’ suddenly bloomed from Elnor’s body.
-!!
-!!!!
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The scenery in front of my eyes was completely ‘torn apart’.
And Bingho, who was swept away by the energy that came out like that, could not even resist and was torn to pieces.
Daoud said to sow ‘fear’ in this area, so he didn’t seem to have to kill him, but it was clear that he had come to the brink of that.
Just this ridiculous attack.
Talion stared at the figure with his mouth wide open.
“…”
This guy, really.
‘…No, for now.’
Is this actually a person in the first place?
As a descendant of a long-established Mugol family, Talion could at least accurately know that the technique Elnor had just unleashed was a type of power he had never seen before that did not fall into any of the categories of strength, divinity, or other supernatural powers.
As for this to be possible, there are no candidates that come to mind other than beings from the underworld, which are treated as fantasy even in academia, or demons who are the rulers of Pandemonium.
“…”
devil.
Wait, devil?
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Elnor.
The devil lives in the veins of Duke Tristan.
Although everyone makes a fuss about it, it is a rumor that is almost openly floating around in imperial social circles.
Although it’s an absurd story.
Unless that’s in a figurative sense.
Really, what does this family blood have to do with it?
‘…No, is that possible?’
Anyway, it’s so absurd.
The empire’s leading noble family is involved in something like that. If that had really been the case, the entire empire would have been turned upside down over and over again.
In the first place, it is unclear who spread the rumor.
‘…I did say that my father heard a story that it was spread by the imperial family.’
That’s even more absurd than the rumor itself.
Why on earth would the imperial family do something like that? Against the Archduke Tristan family, who have sworn loyalty to the imperial family for longer than anyone else?
As if you’re not intentionally trying to ‘pressure’ them. This story makes no sense.
“…Um, student council president.”
Of course, that’s it.
There is no doubt that the scene before my eyes is going crazy.
Talion opened his mouth with a trembling voice.
“How did you do it?”
Elnor responded to those words with a slight shrug of her shoulders.
“I just did some experimenting.”
“An experiment?”
“Even if you don’t touch the time axis, how far can you interfere with twisting space?”
“…”
What kind of crazy nonsense is this?
The most appropriate thing to say about twisting space is that it only appears in legendary techniques such as ‘Dimension Twisting’, the highest level magic that is said to be capable of being wielded only by dragons, and ‘Morning Slash’, which the first Archduke Tristan demonstrated with a sword. .
To recreate that just by standing in place and raising a fist is something that only a real demon or a being from the other world would be able to do…
“…”
no. therefore.
This makes no sense. clearly.
If this woman is really something related to the ‘devil’. Even more so if the energy she gives off is ‘grey’.
That is a category of ancient mythology that goes back to the generation of the first warriors.
Because it is the ‘color’ that is only depicted in the Great Demon War, where the void zone in the center of the golden triangle was created.
And according to there.
The Gray Devil’s Vessel is an entity that has received the title of ‘Achievements of the Entire Continent’, unprecedented in history.
This is, to put it another way.
This means that this woman will later grow into the worst monster who can take on an entire continent on her own.
‘…No, of course that can’t be possible.’
Shocked, he looked down at Bingho, who was lying on the floor and breathing hard, on the verge of life.
It was clear that he wasn’t dead, as he was spitting out a thin stream of breath.
“Let’s see, I told you to just pull out my claws here…”
Talion said and approached him.
He would have done so even if he hadn’t found a tiny being trying to bite his ankle.
“Oh my.”
Without a doubt, it is Bingho’s cub. It has a neat appearance but is small in size.
It continued to lash out, which was not very threatening, as if it was trying to protect its mother.
Honestly, it’s closer to a cat than a tiger. The sight of him standing in front of the seriously injured Bingho and waving his front paws, which could be called fingernails, indiscriminately was even pathetic.
“…Well, it makes me feel like I’ve become a bad guy. It’s okay, it’s okay. “I’m not trying to kill you, just claw-”
Talion smiled bitterly and tried to complete that sentence.
Until I felt ‘something’ behind my back.
“…!”
Next moment.
Talion was rolling around on the floor with his entire body wrapped around the ice tiger’s baby.
Bingho’s claws dug into his body, causing fresh blood to splatter, but he didn’t care and wrapped his entire body around Bingho’s baby.
Bingho, wrapped in that embrace, struggled. This was probably because they ‘mistook’ this for Talion’s attack.
maybe.
It would have been the same if I hadn’t discovered that the place I was in just a moment ago was shattered and crushed by gray energy.
-…
Bingho’s cub drooped its body.
He realized that what Talion had just done was ‘saving’ him.
“…Student President.”
He looked at Elnor with a very nervous expression.
The red iris shines menacingly. It looks like there is endless, ferocious ‘hostility’ there.
Just now, it seemed like this woman didn’t even want to see this bastard’s pitiful struggle. She acted as if she was going to kill an insect by stepping on it.
“I didn’t say anything about you touching the cubs.”
“…”
At the words Talion spoke while covering the trembling baby, Elnor looked at Talion blankly.
“Isn’t it ugly?”
“…yes?”
“The very fact that such a weak creature is alive is disgusting to me-”
Elnor, who was about to continue speaking, kept her mouth shut.
“…”
Soon, his eyes widen and he covers his mouth.
It’s as if he himself was shocked by what he said.
“…I just said something.”
At the same time, the ‘hostility’ in those eyes disappeared.
As if something ‘overlaid’ on this woman was disappearing.
“…Oh, no. No, no. “Pretend you didn’t hear that just now.”
“…”
“I’ll just retrieve the claws and go back.”
As he said that, Talion’s expression darkened as he saw Elnor walking away at a faster pace than usual.
‘…what?’
Although it is momentary.
Something ‘dwelled’ in Elnor.
This is not the expressionless student council president who is usually half goofy and half calm.
There’s ‘something’ that feels like it blindly hates everything in front of it.
‘…Brother, what kind of woman is your nose pierced by now?’
Talion sighed, sincerely thinking that.
●
[It’s finished, brother.]
He nods at the report coming from Talion in a voice as if he has lost his mind.
They may not know it, but they seem to be reacting this way when they see Elnor do tricks again.
“…”
I understand.
The range of actions that a two-piece bowl can perform slowly begins to reach a level that is similar to or exceeds that of the named NPCs in the game.
Maybe he doesn’t know it, but he’s slowly starting to become stronger than Gideon.
‘…I’m going to have a hard time later.’
That’s not a desirable phenomenon.
Even for future chapters, it is best to always keep Gideon’s combat power above Elnor’s.
After this chapter is over, we will have to check on our Grand Duke.
< System Message >
[Subject ‘Elnor’ is becoming accustomed to the power of the devil. ]
[ The fusion of the second fragment accelerates. The bowl is starting to take effect! ]
That way, you will be able to deal with this too.
as I said last time.
I can’t see Elnor turning into a murderer even if dirt gets in my eyes.
As I frowned and looked at the window, the pager in my arms beeped.
This is a message from Elijah.
[Ah, teacher. This too-]
“Have you finished engraving that too?”
[…]
Elijah fell silent for a moment at my question.
[…No, there is that. It was over, though.]
Elijah, on the other side of the video screen, looked back, his words slurred.
Beyond that, I could see the body of the horned ghost, the ruler of the jungle. Yuria is also looking down at it with her sword drawn next to her.
[Teacher, didn’t you say this means you won’t die?]
“…? “He’s also a magic creature, so he won’t die, right?”
Same goes for Bingho, Yeomma, and Unicorn.
Magical creatures of elemental nature rarely die. Since he has overtaken all the prominent demons around here and is now the ruler, that characteristic is the greatest.
Wouldn’t Enma not have died even if her head was broken by a single blow from me?
[Is this thing dead?]
“…what?”
[There is no resurrection. Is it an engraving or something? Is that engraved correctly?]
“…”
At those words, I look closely at the screen.
A cloud of white energy is rising from Yuria’s sword. And the unicorn nearby was cut in pieces from head to toe and was unable to move from the spot.
Like the Enma I killed, it doesn’t even show any signs of being ready to return to its original form and be resurrected.
‘…You really killed him?’
How did you do it?
Even in the game, it’s something I’ve never heard of unless it’s a buggy play…?
Fortunately.
The answer to the question of ‘how’ such a thing was possible immediately appeared before my eyes.
< System Message >
[Subject ‘Yuria’ becomes increasingly proficient in demonic powers. ]
[A new curse imbued with ‘The Breaker’ has been revealed. ]
[The subject’s stage 1 fusion rate has reached 99%. ]
[The second piece of ‘White Devil’ will appear soon. Related events will be updated! ]
“…”
hey.
I have a lot of things to do in one day.
Take a look, please.
[…I seemed to be in a bit of a bad mood from the moment I arrived. Is that really okay, teacher…?]
At those words, I look at Yuria’s appearance on the screen.
My eyes are loose. He stands there, motionless, looking down at the corpse with dead eyes.
Even if you look at it, something is not normal.
“…”
The last time I saw him was when he was changing clothes, so I can’t quite guess what he was thinking.
He seemed to be in a really bad mood after gaslighting him before.
[…If I leave it like this, I think there will be an accident soon.]
“…I’ll hit it. Leave it alone.”
[…]
Elijah looks at me at a loss for words, and instead of continuing to explain, I just scratch my head.
At least in my experience so far.
Signs that something bad is about to happen have never escaped me. If there are signs, something bad is bound to happen.
So, what would I do in that situation?
Rather than trying to ‘fix’ it, it would be better to aim to use it as a ‘driving force’.
The first thing to do is to let out Liru’s temper right away.
The second is this.
[…yes?]
“Elijah.”
I sigh and say this to Elijah, who asks me a question.
“Do you know that this is Admiral Lee?”
Treat poison with poison.
If only one poison is released, it is just extreme poison.
If you release two.
It can be used as ‘medicine’.
‘…that would be fun.’
To be honest.
I’m curious about tomorrow.
I can’t help but look forward to how Tatiana will react to what I’m going to do.
