The Only Male Student in the Academy

054. Kill me (5)

I can’t reach it.

In the hot heat, Marie thinks so.

If you wield the flame, it will be blocked by Ron’s defense.

If you use offensive magic, Lucius and Lapisca will see through and the casting will be cut off.

When her means of attack are blocked, Tia shoots her lightning elemental magic and limits her own actions.

When she becomes unable to do anything, her sister takes advantage of her gap and completes her water elemental magic.

Mari had already broken her heart.

‘I couldn’t win.’

Her own defeat has been decided at the point where her heart has already been broken.

Nevertheless, the battle continues.

Because the phoenix that controls him wants a war.

This is because the ‘energy of life’ continues to flow from the depths of the dungeon.

How long did the meaningless battle last?

Her sister was seen chanting her gigantic magic as if to end this fight.

“.”

A large amount of magical energy was emitted from her hand.

Advanced water elemental magic.

Her older sister has already reached advanced magic that no matter how fast she is, she can only achieve it in the 3rd year.

It’s too far.

Looking up at the crashing waves, Marie thinks. She said she couldn’t possibly reach her sister far above.

Marie was caught up in the waves.

Her strong shock hit Marie, and water came into her nose and mouth, making it painful.

Marie momentarily lost her mind.

“Marie!”

When she regained her senses, her sister was hugging her.

Her mind is still hazy. It’s just a little bit, but it feels like waking up.

At some point, the fire attached to her body was out, and the rest of her body, caught in her waves, was cold.

Her sister’s body is warm.

It is the body temperature of a living human being.

‘Ah….’

There you realize.

That she can’t go back anymore.

“You have to run… Sister.”

Hwareuk.

Again, sparks rise from the tips of her fingers.

The fire called inferiority complex.

She must have this heat to hold onto until the moment she dies.

“Marie…?”

“You have to get out of here, sister… The monster is coming…”

“Monster? What do you mean…?”

“Elpis Bamir was thinking of waking up the monster…!”

You speak urgently, but you don’t understand.

Even though she was controlled by the phoenix, she went wild. She had to somehow resist and suppress the phoenix.

Elpis Bamir took away normal judgment from himself. From the beginning, Elpis Bamir had this in mind.

“Marie, your body…”

When she glances around her own body, again her body is on fire.

Gradually, I feel my mind being eaten by the phoenix again.

How long can you be human?

How long can she remain as her sister’s younger sister?

“What happened, Lapisca-senpai! Didn’t the phoenix die if you extinguished the flame!?”

“It’s supposed to be… But it seems like something keeps giving Phoenix energy.”

“What kind of energy is that… Where the hell is it? How can I do it?!”

“…….”

Even though they tell me to run away, they don’t understand.

Even while doing this, I feel the monster approaching little by little.

Look at the wall.

There is nothing there. It just feels like a tightly closed wall.

But beyond that, the presence continues to be felt. Is it because he has become a monster?

‘Before being eaten by the phoenix…… I have to.’

Fortunately, the ‘energy of life’ coming from the depths of the dungeon even restores Mari’s magical power.

Marie pulled up all her magic.

Right after that, the wall collapses.

[…] ….]

What came out of the collapsed wall was a humanoid monster about 180cm tall.

Although it had such an appearance that it would be colorless to call it a ‘humanoid’.

A face with countless eyes.

Its mouth is torn, and its face is covered with tentacles protruding from its neck.

His left arm is grotesquely twisted.

It looks like a dry tree branch has grown twisted. I knew it was an arm because it held a halberd at the end.

The left leg was a mixture of several animals.

His thighs are muscular like those of horses, his calves are thin like those of birds, and his feet are webbed like those of fish.

Its right leg is made of rock and steel, so it drags it like it’s heavy.

Truly a twisted monster.

Lucius party members couldn’t react to the monster that suddenly appeared.

Only Mari, who had felt its presence earlier, reacted and cast her magic prepared by her.

.

A magic that Marie has used many times before.

However, , Which was activated by pulling all of her mana, was showing a stronger performance than usual.

Thanks to that, the monster couldn’t act right away.

As the body freezes momentarily, the action stops for an instant.

And Marie perceives it sensuously. That this monster has ‘crowd control immunity’.

The monster shook off the frost as if it were annoying, and immediately charged.

Halberd flies towards Tia.

“Suck!”

With a shout, Ron swung his shield.

Ron was able to knock the halberd off for several reasons.

Because Mari tied it up for a moment, it was not too late.

Also, Ron probably had the least fear of death in the party.

Clergy always cultivate the spirit of sacrificing for others, and they believe that even if they die, they will be able to go to God’s side.

Rather than living on someone else’s death, I’d rather be the foundation myself.

Thinking so, Ron blocked his halberd with his shield.

However, the halberd does not stop and digs in more and more.

Overwhelming, this monster.

It’s completely different from the monsters I’ve encountered so far.

“Do not yield to evil.”

Ron recites a silent prayer.

One of the Holy Knight skills, . An invincible skill that temporarily reduces the damage of all attacks to 0.

A tanker has only one mission. To hold the wire.

When Ron used his invincibility to hold out against the monster to pass the time, Lapiska grabbed Tia at that moment.

Lucius also comes to his senses and maintains his formation.

“I think you’d better run away.”

Looking at the strange monster, Lapisca says.

Fortunately, Ron seems to be able to block it to some extent.

In the meantime, we need to decide the party policy.

“That’s quite strong. I can’t guarantee that I can beat it. Let’s face it… The enemy is not one, but two.”

After saying that, Lapiska glanced at Marie.

The fire on Mari’s body grew stronger.

It’s because she just drew all of her mana. Because she chanted the magic extremely powerfully, she consumed a lot of concentration.

Phoenix doesn’t allow even a moment’s gap.

Immediately after completing the magic and Ron blocking the attack, I was relieved and lost my concentration.

Through that gap, the phoenix burrows into the mind.

She’s resisting somehow now, but Mari herself knows that she won’t last long.

She will soon become a monster herself again.

“Is she going to leave Marie behind!?”

“Fortunately, that monster doesn’t seem to be aiming for your brother. It must be recognized as an ally because it has been transformed into a monster.”

Certainly, the heteromorphic monster did not seem to recognize itself as an enemy.

That would mean that he is no longer human.

From noble mtl dot com

Bitterness spreads from the tip of her tongue.

But…… I can’t leave Marie like this.

If you guys want to go, I’ll stay alone and take Marie.

So, let’s step back for now, Junior Rose Epeltain.

Fortunately, that monster doesn’t move that fast. It won’t be hard to shake it off.

Let’s go up to the ground once and call people to come.

No, senior.

That monster has no choice but to defeat it here.

What?

Probably won’t run away.

Because Elpis Bamir must have played a trick.

Tsk, somehow he backed off easily….

But junior Lucius, what will you do then?

That’s….

… I’ll tell you for sure. If we continue like this, we will be annihilated.

…………….

It’s dizzy.

I can hear the conversation, but I can’t properly ponder its meaning.

I feel like I’m going to lose my mind any moment, and I just want to collapse and escape from the pain.

“……Kill me.”

So I could barely utter that one word.

Time is…… Not many anymore.

“Marie…?”

“Please… Kill me…”

It’s the only thing I can do for you.

To die.

Surprisingly, I wasn’t very afraid of death.

It’s just that being alive is more painful.

It has become too ugly to live casually.

“I hate it…, I hate it…! What the hell are you talking about…!!”

Her sister is crying.

Crying for her was Marie’s only salvation and her greatest suffering.

What had to disappear was not her sister.

She was always holding onto her older sister’s ankles.

I kept harboring a wish that I dared not come true.

“Sister, we can’t go back to normal anymore…”

It goes back to normal. What an absurd extravagance that was.

Sister can’t escape from the writer after her eiffel tain. She will and must continue to live as the next lord of the artist after Eiffel Thein.

In contrast, she is only the daughter of Count Ruheli.

She was no longer a sister at the point when her older sister was adopted by a writer after Eiffel Tane.

She wasn’t even going to go back to being her sister.

Even so, I want to go back to the old days.

Wanted to be Rose’s sister again.

‘At least….’

I will not become a younger brother who holds my ankle until the end.

Marie saw Lucius.

“Please, Lucius… Kill me…”

She hadn’t had a few conversations, but she decided that this person would.

She was like a hero from a fairy tale.

She was always the one to save the most.

So she will act again this time to save the greatest number.

I won’t make a choice that will plunge the party into annihilation.

“…….”

Lucius raised his sword as if he had made up his mind.

The approaching blade.

Marie laughed.

Finally liberated.

Freed from the weary bondage.

Marie smiled at that joy.

– Grasp.

Fresh blood splatters.

Then.

“f*ck, it hurts so much.”

A boy’s voice was heard.

Lucius felt uncomfortable with the feeling of being cut. The taste is strange.

Before she even reached Marie, she felt as if she was cutting something, and her sword’s momentum was momentarily reduced.

Before long, what she saw before her eyes was a cloak that had been cut off.

And the figure of a boy with a wound in his chest.

“Ariel…?”

“Don’t talk to me.”

The boy speaks harshly and sprinkles the potion on the wound.

Throwing away the empty potion bottle as if slightly annoyed, he reached out his hand toward the burning Mari.

The flame burns on the boy’s arm.

“I told you before. I have no intention of getting close to you. Go and do your thing.”

Saying that, the boy doesn’t care and picks up his horse on his back.

“I’ll go do my own thing too.”
