I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends - Chapter 222



222 – ??? vs. Seongcheonnyeo (5)

“ah…….”

Edelin lets out a short gasp.

“Uh, groan, groan… … .”

After a while, he spits out a handful of blood.

The image of the red, gushing blood is vivid.

Edelin slowly moved her head and looked down at her abdomen.

The priest’s robes, once as white as snow, were dyed blood red.

Blood that slowly begins to spread out from the abdomen.

The blood flows and flows, dripping down to the ground.

I stare at the drop of blood that has formed a small puddle.

Suddenly, Edelin took a step backwards.

“… … I didn’t know it would go this far.”

Edeline muttered to herself with a pale face.

Even if she is Edelin, her life will be in danger if she is not treated immediately because she was stabbed in the vital spot with a dagger soaked in poison.

And this is your chance.

While Edelin was injured, he counterattacked… … .

“Are you crazy, are you crazy! Hey Han Seojun! Are you crazy?!”

“Teacher! What are you doing!”

Was it then?

Their voices suddenly rang loudly in my ears.

When I turned my head absentmindedly, there they were, staring at me with bewildered expressions.

He was looking at me with eyes that were a mixture of worry, confusion, anxiety, etc.

But I don’t have time to listen to all the nagging worries.

In the meantime, Edelin must not heal her wounds.

I quickly sent a telepathic message to Seo-yoon.

Seoyoon, who had accepted the telepathy, raised her head with a dazed face and looked at Edelin’s face alternately.

Then, he wiped away the blood that was flowing out of his nose, nodded his head once, and began to use his telepathy with all his might.

As I requested, I gathered up what little strength I had left and carried out a mental contamination on Edelin.

“… … Mental pollution?”

Edelin, who had been watching us closely, pulling out her dagger and neutralizing the poison with her healing powers, reacted with a puzzled look.

It was useless to attack with the mental contamination ability now, because he was wearing a bracelet with an anti-psychic defense effect.

“no way?”

As if she had an ominous feeling, Edelin instinctively looked at her wrist.

Then I realized that the bracelet that had blocked my telepathy had completely disappeared.

“Find this?”

I used what little power I had left to heal my half-blown head and showed the objects in my hand to Edelin.

The psychic resistance bracelet that Edelin had been holding and the subspace pouch containing numerous treasures were held tightly in my hand.

“… … .”

Edeline’s expression hardened.

Since the subspace pocket has been taken away, you can no longer take out additional treasures.

I had to fight with only the treasure I was wearing.

Of course, if it were normal, that would have been enough.

Because Edelin is strong even without Bogu’s help.

But for Edelin, who has already taken a big hit, the current situation is not so good.

Because not only was Edelin mortally wounded, she was also poisoned by a deadly poison.

Well, if we just give it a little time, this kind of poison will be easy to cure.

But will there be time to treat it leisurely?

“Kids! Now!”

I used telepathy to ask them to take action immediately, along with a brief explanation.

This very moment, when the poison and wounds had not yet fully healed, was the last chance to take down Edelin.

If you miss this moment, you will never have another chance to defeat Edelin.

Edelin will no longer let her guard down and will do her best to trample us.

The gap in basic capabilities is so extreme that if Edelin starts taking full action, there is nothing we can do now.

That’s why we must not give Edeline any time to fully recover.

“I know, then! You shouldn’t do something reckless like that! Got it?!”

Perhaps because of her actions that were close to suicide earlier, Yerin let out a slightly angry noise, but she obediently followed my telepathy.

Despite having a mangled arm and broken ribs, Yerin took the lead without hesitation and rushed towards Edelin.

I wanted to treat him right away, but I didn’t have time.

“Tch. Anyway. Okay.”

Soon, Hwa-ryeon followed Ye-rin’s footsteps.

Although she looked slightly dissatisfied, Hwa-ryeon knew that if she missed this timing, she would have no more chances, so she forced her exhausted body to move and attack Edelin.

“It’s no use… … Huh?”

Suddenly, Edelin bit her lower lip and swayed her body.

It seemed to be due to Seo Yoon’s strong mental contamination.

If it were normal, I would have used a bracelet that gave me resistance to mental contamination to block it and used my power to heal my wounds, but that is impossible now.

Now that her bracelet and subspace pouch had been taken away, Edelin had to make a choice.

This ability can be used to heal wounds or prevent mental contamination.

Edelin’s only real drawback was that she could only use one ability at a time.

… … No, what.

Considering that ordinary hunters only have one ability, it was absurd to see it as a disadvantage.

“… … .”

Edelin raised her left hand with a slightly distorted expression, grabbed her temple tightly, and used her power to defend herself against Seoyoon’s mental contamination.

It seems that they decided that Seo-yoon’s mental contamination was more dangerous than treating the poison and wounds.

If it was obvious, it was an obvious choice.

If you are properly infected with Seo Yoon’s mental contamination, you will collapse without being able to put up any real resistance.

Seo Yoon’s telepathy ability was very strong. Even a regressor with strong psychic powers like Edelin wouldn’t be able to do anything if she didn’t use her power to block it.

“This girl is so persistent!”

Tank, tank, tank!

Edelin’s mace and Yerin’s sword clashed.

There was a small spark, accompanied by the sound of metal snapping.

“Haa, haa.”

Edelin was breathing heavily as she fended off Yerin and Hwaryeon’s attacks.

It looks completely different from before.

The relaxed expression and attitude disappeared as he smiled.

Edelin also felt the crisis.

But Edelin’s defense was solid.

It seemed difficult to break through with just Yerin and Hwaryeon.

It was as if someone had a hole in their stomach and was poisoned by a deadly poison.

‘Has it already been neutralized to some extent?’

If I hadn’t done that, I would have collapsed a long time ago.

Because it’s a poison that would kill an ordinary person within a few minutes.

I never thought I could cure this much poison in such a short amount of time.

Of course, we must not give Edelin any time to recover.

“… … Huh?”

In that moment, Edelin’s body staggered violently.

A powerful telekinetic force weighed down Edelin’s body.

“Ugh… … Hurry up and finish… … I can’t hold out much longer… … .”

Jihyun reached out to Edelin and pressed her with what little telekinesis she had left.

Jihyun, who was always full of confidence, seemed to have really reached her limit when she suddenly started saying weak things.

Even though such an enormous amount of telekinesis attacked Edelin, the cape Edelin was wearing had a strong resistance to telekinesis, so a significant amount of the telekinesis was inevitably reduced in power.

But even so, it was telekinesis that Jihyun had gathered the last of her strength and poured it out.

If she hadn’t completely freed herself of her telekinesis, it would have been quite a burden for Edelin, who was so badly injured right now.

“Phew, phew. Ugh.”

Edelin frowned and shook her chest roughly, as if she were being crushed by gravity several times stronger than herself.

It certainly seemed like Jihyun’s telekinesis was effective.

“Stop falling down, seriously!”

Hwaryeon shouted with a tired expression.

That would be the case, as Edelin was already seriously injured and poisoned.

Furthermore, because he had been fighting alone for a long time, he had used up a lot of his stamina and abilities, and he was using his abilities and his left hand to block Seo-yoon’s mental infection, and he was also under considerable pressure from Ji-hyeon’s telekinesis.

… … And yet, he was able to withstand the combined attacks of Yerin and Hwaryeon with one hand.

This is truly an unbelievable skill.

No one knew better than Edelin that she was an extraordinary regressor who had experienced countless things, but I never thought it would be to this extent.

It would be impossible for me, or anyone else in this world, to endure such harsh conditions.

‘At this point, it’s a battle of wits.’

It seems like the one who loses focus first and makes mistakes will lose.

But if it was a battle of wits, then Edelin had the advantage.

Edelin, who has experienced countless times and gone through countless regressions, must have overcome adversities that they would never have imagined.

‘The kids have already reached their limit a long time ago.’

As the saying goes, they are just holding on with evil and brute force.

It wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed at any time.

‘Ugh… … I can’t help it.’

I shook my head in my mind.

It’s something that can’t be left to them alone any longer.

Even though my body was half-broken, I had to step forward myself.

I tried to get up from my seat, steadying my trembling body.

But my legs seemed to give out and I collapsed several times.

This fucking body wasn’t moving properly.

‘Please move.’

Stamina and abilities are almost completely depleted.

His head has also been half-sunken, so it’s not surprising that his body doesn’t respond.

Of course, he used his healing ability, but he only recovered enough to prevent death, and the damage still remained, so if it was a normal situation, he should have been treated a long time ago.

When I thought about it objectively, I was no longer in a state where I could fight.

But still, now is the time to move.

So listen to me, you fucking piece of shit.

‘shit.’

After getting up and falling down several times, I was finally able to get up using the broken sword as a cane.

The magic sword that Yerin gave me.

It had already been broken and dangled by Edelin, but it was still useful as a cane. I didn’t know it could be used like this. Anyway, it’s thanks to Yerin.

‘Whew… … My physical condition is really terrible… … .’

I can’t relax for even a moment.

Because the moment I let go of the tension, I feel like I’m going to collapse.

My legs were already so weak that I felt like I would never be able to get up again if I fell down even once.

So I bit my lips hard and somehow managed to straighten my legs and turned my head towards Edelin. I saw them fighting Edelin for quite some time. Even though they had the upper hand, they still couldn’t take Edelin down.

No, rather than knocking him down, his momentum is gradually fading away.

Not only was Edelin enduring their combined attacks with her battered body, but she was also pressuring them in return.

They are using all their strength, abilities, and spirit to their limits.

But no matter how hard I try, I can never surpass Edelin, so if things continue this way, Edelin will most likely win.

It would be faster for them to reach their limit and collapse than for Edelin to collapse from venom poisoning.

In the end, the longer they stalled, the more advantageous it was for Edelin.

‘If I try to intervene, it will only cause trouble.’

Even standing is a body close to its limit.

It would be foolish to interfere in that fierce battle.

In that case, we have no choice but to protect them while keeping our distance.

But it is obvious that I will not be able to defeat Edelin with a half-assed attack. I have to think carefully since I don’t have much power left. If I use my power a few times, I will be reduced to an empty can. If my attacks are blocked in vain, there will be no more chances.

‘Should we make a surprise attack? No, that won’t work. A simple surprise attack won’t do.’

Considering the capabilities that Edelin had shown so far, it seemed like a simple surprise attack wouldn’t be enough.

Because I could tell that they were constantly on guard against me while I was dealing with them.

‘I can’t waste my powers. I have to finish it in one go.’

Then, can’t we help it?

I have no choice but to attack as best as I can right now.

An attack that cannot be avoided even if you know about it, and cannot be stopped even if you know about it.

‘Okay, let’s give it a try. Let’s give it a try.’

I took a slow breath and started to awaken my abilities little by little.

With only a little of this ability left, he had to use as little strength as possible to get the most out of it. Every time he inhaled or exhaled, a sharp pain shot up from his lungs. Normally, he could have summoned up the strength in a matter of seconds, but now he had to concentrate for a long time.

‘The usual Edelin would be able to block or dodge it easily, but it would be impossible for now.’

Edelin is currently using her supernatural powers and Noble Phantasms to fend off their attacks.

It would be impossible to block my strongest attack when I can no longer take out additional Noble Phantasms.

She can only use one power at a time, whereas I can use many powers at once.

What this means is that by drawing out the minimum of each ability and combining them into one, it is possible to create a powerful synergy.

‘So, I guess that’s the best choice I can make right now.’

A skill that only I can use.

A fatal blow that gathers all the abilities stolen so far and detonates them all at once.

This is the best strike I can do now, as I have a track record of defeating many powerful men who were famous all over the world before returning.

However, it was very burdensome to create various supernatural abilities with a body that was already ruined.

Even the slightest mistake could have caused the circuits and blood vessels to become distorted, leading to serious injury.

Every time I pulled out my power, I felt like vomiting.

I just wanted to throw out everything that was inside me right now.

My circuits and blood vessels felt like they were burning out and my veins were bursting. But I couldn’t give up. I couldn’t give up. The kids were struggling so much, so I couldn’t just give up like an idiot.

So let’s hold on a little longer.

Just hold on a little longer.

Almost there.

Almost all.

I gritted my teeth and focused my powers little by little on the broken sword.

A catalyst that gathers together Yerin’s dark abilities.

All the abilities I’ve collected so far are gathered in one place.

Physical enhancement, high-speed movement, metal formation, shock reversal, compression, flame wind, gravity, psychic powers, etc.

He had scraped together every bit of his supernatural power to create a mountain, so the power of the supernatural power gathered in this broken sword was enormous.

If you use your compression ability to focus the supernatural power that seems like it could explode like an active volcano at any moment and then release it all at once using your reversal ability, even Edelin will fall down helplessly.

but…….

“Haha. You’ve prepared something fun, Seojun. But isn’t it too late?”

“Hey, let go of this!”

I was so focused on gathering strength that I couldn’t properly observe their situation.

Before she knew it, Edelin was holding Yerin hostage with one hand, Hwa-ryeon was lying far away, and Ji-hyeon was gasping for breath without even being able to use her telekinesis.

Only Seo-yoon is holding on somehow, shedding blood.

It seemed as if he couldn’t fall down because he knew full well that if he fell, everything would be over.

“I didn’t know it would be this hard… … Phew. I feel dizzy because the poison has spread quite a bit.”

As I said, Edelin’s expression looked very unpleasant.

His speech was quite relaxed, but judging by his blue lips, blood soaking through his abdomen, and the fact that he was drenched in cold sweat, he looked quite dangerous.

It seemed like if I just stalled a little longer I would collapse from the poison, but I couldn’t stall any longer.

Because it felt like the power compressed into the blade would dissipate at any moment.

Just holding this already heated power still consumes an enormous amount of ability and stamina.

It’s like holding a beast of prey tightly with a leash as it runs towards it.

If you don’t shoot it out right now, all the strength you’ve accumulated will eventually disappear in vain.

“Huh… … Huh. Why are you hesitating so much? Are you afraid that Yerin will get involved too?”

“Sir! I’m fine! Come with me and take this woman… … Whew!”

“Be quiet, Yerin.”

He grabbed Yerin’s neck tightly, squeezing her windpipe.

Yerin, who keeps exhaling with a pale face.

After a while, Edelin turned her head towards me and licked her lips.

“Do I need to worry? Just kill Yerin with me and revive her with the Holy Grail.”

“… … .”

“Of course, if that happens, Seo-yoon will suffer from her telepathy abilities for the rest of her life. If you want to completely eliminate the side effects of telepathy abilities that have been used to their limits, Seo-jun’s abilities alone won’t be enough, right? Right?”

“… … .”

“But leaving a threat like me alone… … wouldn’t be a good choice when thinking about the future. I guess you’ll have to make a choice, Seojun.”

“… … .”

“Should I save Yerin or Seoyoon?”

Edeline is smiling.

As if it didn’t matter to me if I died.

No, maybe he wants me to keep struggling without being able to choose either side.

If I delay any longer, the strength I’ve accumulated will disappear.

Once this power is gone, there will be no way to defeat Edelin.

“So, Seojun, what are you going to do… … .”

“Edeline.”

“yes.”

“You must have been really nervous. Judging by your stiff head.”

“yes?”

I extended my left hand towards Yerin.

Thanks to Edelin’s constant chatter, I was able to use this ability to figure out the coordinates and adjust the location values.

Because of my lack of skill and technique, I rarely used it in actual combat, but if the target was still and I had plenty of time, I could use it as much as I wanted.

“Tell Charlotte.”

I teleported Yerin towards me based on the calculated coordinates.

“I’m really putting my spatial manipulation skills to good use.”

Even Charlotte rarely used the ability to teleport in real combat because it took too long.

But the effect was outstanding.

“ah…….”

In an instant, when Yerin, who had been held hostage, disappeared, Edelin’s hand cut through the air, and I locked eyes with Edelin and swung my sword with all my might.

An enormous, irresistible force and sharp sword energy rushed toward Edelin.

“Tch.”

Edelin frowned and tried to quickly defend or evade, but Edelin, who could only use one ability at a time, had no way to block this attack.

Even if it’s Edelin, it would be nearly impossible to block this attack, which is a mixture of numerous abilities, with just one ability.

So, all she can do is avoid it.

However, no one can avoid this kind of wide-range attack with their bare body, coming with sword energy.

So, to evade, I had to use this ability.

And that’s what I was hoping for.

“Seo Yoon-ah!”

“……yes.”

Edelin barely managed to escape the threat by using her super-speed movement ability and cutting off her mental defense ability for a split second to evade my attack.

I only released my mental defense ability for that split second, but that was enough.

It would have been so easy for Seo Yoon to completely destroy her spirit, which was gradually becoming polluted without being able to defend herself completely.

“… … In the end, it turned out like this… … Yes.”

Could it be due to rapid mental contamination?

Edelin staggered, coughing up blood and coughing up coffee.

She tried to defend herself against her mind contamination ability again, but as she was already so contaminated that it could be done, the best she could do was smile bitterly.

Poisoned by the venom, mortally wounded, with her health depleted and her abilities nearly gone, Edelin was already unable to properly gather her contaminated mind.

She gave me an incomprehensible smile, as if she had given up.

Why are you smiling like that?

I couldn’t figure it out, but soon Edelin collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut.

“Is it… over?”

And then silence.

This was the end of the decisive battle with Edelin, the head of the Sungcheon Church and the one who had returned countless times.
