I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 372



372 – The Most Beautiful Woman #27

372 – The most beautiful woman # 27

To the west of Ludens is a forest.

The trees are thick and dense.

At first glance, it looks like a peaceful place, but like the volcano to the east of the Snowy Mountain Labyrinth in the north, it is a place called ‘Magic Scenery’.

That was the West Field Water Sea or “Forest of World Trees.”

The deeper you go, the more dense the forest becomes, blocking the sunlight, creating a dark space.

In a place where even wild beasts seemed to retreat, hiding their fangs and claws, a witch sat cross-legged among the five-man shroud made of candles and recited a mantra.

“Om─.”

Her name is Morrian.

It was Morian Crowwind, a member of the Great Council and a witch of wisdom.

She sat on the damp, mossy floor in the absence of sunlight and contemplated the world.

She empties her soul, empties her head, empties her heart to accept the world ─.

With that, the world flows into Morian and soon enters a state of ecstasy that can be called spiritual fullness.

Sarrrr─.

At that time, a wind blew from somewhere and shook the candles that were lit around Morian.

“… ?”

Morian, whose immersion was broken by that subtle interruption, opened her eyes and looked around her.

Someone who interrupted her own ceremony is slowly approaching Morrían from afar.

“Morian, I heard that after the bakery isn’t open these days, she is meditating in the magic world of Mijin. “Have you made any progress in meditation?”

She has a face like an angel, but her shadow is blacker than that of a devil.

“Enio.”

The woman was Enio Black Star.

She has black hair like the Morrían, but her eyes are magically red.

‘A guy whose true feelings are unknown.’

Morian evaluated Enio that way.

It wasn’t long ago that she thought she might be the most dangerous among the unruly delegates.

‘Of course, she seems to have become close to Viktor and her emotions have become more visible on her face. Still, this guy is a witch. There’s no way he came to see me for a good reason.’

Morian was wary of Enio.

It’s common for witches to be wary of each other.

The adage, “Don’t trust anyone who is a witch,” Has been a tradition since long ago, when the delegates were still called the Witches Council under the name “Walpurgis.”

Of course, Morian did not show her caution and spoke lightly.

“The prophecy she saw in her dream was so strange. “I was trying to solve it a little more.”

“If it’s a dream, the World Tree will spread out and five stars will fall, right? So it seems like you often spend time in this World Tree Forest. But, if it was a dream interpretation, wasn’t it already over?”

Enio asked.

The world tree stretches out and five stars fall.

It was a sign that five demons were invading Ludens.

In fact, the Mine Five invaded Ludens, and this was the moment when the excellence of Morian’s foresight was proven.

However, there was something undesirable about Morian.

“Something is lacking. I feel like nothing real has happened yet.”

“Really?”

“The moment day becomes night, night becomes day, and nature and injustice are reversed, the trees of the world will stretch out from the sky and the stars will fall to the ground.” “This is the interpretation of the prophecy I heard.”

“Hmm… Night and day change and a tree stretches out from the sky. And a falling star. It doesn’t seem like an ordinary dream. “I don’t know much about dream interpretation because it’s not my specialty.”

“Yes, Enio, your specialty is curses and death. So why did you come to see me? Who do you need my help cursing or killing? “Maybe Victoria?”

“It’s an interesting story, but I’ll leave that for another time. It’s true that I’m trying to ask for help. What I want to talk about is about the five mines. “I want you to help me find my brother.”

“Are you talking about Aidan?”

“Okay. I’ve been following the trail for the past few days, but I have no clue. “Morian, I was wondering if you might be able to chase it down with your powers of foresight.”

Morian also heard of Aidan’s reputation.

When she was alive, she was called ‘chaos on the ground’ and reigned as terror on the battlefield.

“Enio, what will you gain by helping you?”

For witches, giving and receiving must be thorough.

If a witch gives a favor for free, she will inevitably be betrayed ─.

When a witch receives gratuitous favor, she is sure to be betrayed ─.

Because that is the experience from Medea, who was the ‘old king’s shaman’ and witch long ago.

Enio said.

“Have you ever heard of ‘The Book of the Unknown Priest’? It’s a grimoire that witches want. It’s in your hand. “If you help me find my brother, I’ll give it to you.”

“The ‘Unknown Priest Book’ is a treasure worth more than a castle to witches and warlocks. “You’re going to give it to me?”

A grimoire said to contain taboo knowledge about the Age of Gods.

If we had that, we could accelerate the interpretation of ‘dreams.’

However, it was a very poor story.

“Enio, what are the chances that you will deceive or betray me?”

“Even if I say there is nothing, you won’t believe me. But I’m not stupid either. “Who would be foolish enough to lie to a witch in this forest of the World Tree where Medea sleeps?”

“That’s right.”

Enio and Morian silenced themselves with that.

If you listen quietly, the gloomy wind and the crashing of the swaying tree branches begin to sound like someone’s cries of sorrow.

Suaooo─━──.

The words of a betrayed witch who cursed the world and ultimately perished.

At the thought of it being somewhere in this forest, Enio couldn’t help but feel a chill running down the back of his neck.

* * *

Pabat, pabababat-!

Arrows pour down like rain from the top of the tree.

Pouring like rain was not just a metaphor.

A truly countless number of arrows are raining down.

It’s not even a simple arrow.

Paaang-!

It had the power to penetrate the cover of the wooden pillar where we were hiding like an anti-tank rifle.

Crush those things repeatedly.

“Take it, ‘Poetry of the Storm’!”

Babababababat-!

“Hey… ! Nymphophobic arrows are flying indiscriminately… !”

“If you continue like this, Ariol, you will become a hedgehog…” ” !”

In response to Atalanta’s attack, I had no choice but to take a defensive stance.

Protecting the embarrassed nymphs must be the priority.

“Arclight idiot, throw it away!”

Zek-.

First, I grabbed a tree branch and deflected the flying arrows.

Tiding, tidididding-.

The arrows that hit my swordsmanship roll around on the floor.

Seeing this, Akasha, who was guarding her nymphs, stuck out her tongue.

“I can’t believe you showed such skill with a tree branch. Indeed, is that the state of swordsmanship? But why didn’t they attack me in the pit?”

“Is that important now?”

I reprimanded Akasha.

Seeing that he has the ability to joke, I guess I should say it’s a good thing that he seems to have a lot of leisure.

“Victor, I will protect the nymphs, so can you strike back at him? If you just run away like this, you will only be wasted.”

Akasha, who was moving from tree to tree, asked me.

Even so, I was trying to counterattack, but I couldn’t quite figure out Atalanta’s location.

The speed is too fast.

There are a lot of bushes and obstacles.

Paaat-!

“Akasha, it’s a trap!”

“Ugh!”

Traps even sprouted from the ground from where we fled, constantly chasing us. Do animals being hunted feel just like us right now?

“Are you okay?”

I asked Akasha, who had been stabbed in the thigh by a wooden spike rising from the floor.

Akasha ripped off her own cloak and wrapped it roughly around her to stop the bleeding, saying, “Her injuries to this extent are okay. Compared to my injured pride as a female knight… “She only gave a meaningful answer.

Anyway.

A hero who left a mark in past history.

It was a moment when I realized again what it meant to face that demon.

“No, Beowulf’s time was more comfortable than now.”

Beowulf fought proudly.

Instead of dodging my attacks, he even hit all of them.

In comparison, Atalanta is launching a one-sided attack from a place where she cannot even be seen.

It might be a little better if I cut down all the trees around me, but it doesn’t seem easy to unleash that level of attack power with the branches I’m holding.

Even though I have reached the level of a swordsman, I am still a beginner when it comes to mental swordsmanship.

Pabababat-.

“Hey… !”

“There is increasingly no place to escape… !”

“Puipuiya, be careful… !”

“Hoeeeh… ! It’s dangerous… !”

Having to deal with Atalanta while carrying around a bunch of nymphs.

In many ways, it is a challenge in itself.

Unreasonable situation.

But it was actually better.

Would you like to try a technique using the heart sword and Aryu?

It’s a wooden stick, so I don’t know if it will be very powerful.

As I was catching my breath, Atalanta shouted loudly from somewhere in the forest.

“The one I have business with is the one with the pink hair, right? Just hand over that raccoon guy to me! Then I’ll let the rest of you run away from my forest, pretending not to see me!”

Indeed.

Atalanta seemed to be targeting only Nike.

A raccoon trembles in my arms.

━I… They’re targeting me… Suddenly!?

Raccoon Nike looked puzzled.

Me too.

What is the reason why the Church of Genesis is targeting Nike?

She said earlier that she was the ‘shaman of the World Tree’.

I have never heard of such a story.

It was right then.

Nike bit my finger.

“Ah. “Why are you suddenly asking?”

It hurts more than I thought.

But it was bearable.

Squeak-Nike bites my hand a few more times.

Why is it doing that all of a sudden?

Are you hungry?

Also, I heard that raccoons sometimes suffer from rabies. Could it be that Nike also suffered from rabies as a result of being turned into a raccoon?

Has it finally become Crazy Pink Nike?

Of course not.

━Victor! Let me go! I’m the one he’s after! First, I’ll try to lure that guy out! And while you’re at it, either get the others or run away!

Is Nike willing to act as her bait?

If you think about it calmly, it was a very strategic and correct story.

But I was worried about Nike.

“…”

So when she can’t let go of Nike easily, Nike adds another word.

━Don’t worry. Do you think something big will happen to me in the forest rather than anywhere else? This forest is the home where I have lived in Ludens. I know this forest better than anyone else.

“…”

━And this was my fight from the beginning. If I win with Victor’s help, I feel like I’ll probably have to live as a loser for the rest of my life.

“I see.”

There are times when a man must not back down even when he knows he will be seriously hurt.

It’s the same for women.

Nike seemed to have made a decision.

Pabat-.

Nike finally escaped my hand and disappeared, waddling his round butt through the bushes.

A flash of golden light follows closely behind that guy.

“Don’t miss it!”
