I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 459



459 – 「Episode: Red Moon」 # 3

459 – 「Episode: Red Moon」 # 3

Merlin, who had been dead, woke up with her head broken.

His pupils were dilated, and blood and saliva were flowing from his mouth.

Looking at that, Victorica felt a chill from the’instinct’unique to her creature.

She shouted, feeling that this was dangerous.

“Everyone get out of solitary confinement!”

At the same time as he said that, the wizard Merlin—let out a terrible scream and lunged at Victorica.

━Kaaa!!!

Sharp fangs flash.

Victorica had her wrist bitten.

The pain, as if an awl was piercing her wrist, reached her mind at once.

“Ugh! This!”

Wow-.

She raises her fist with all her might.

Paaang-!

Victorica’s fist hit her in the chin with more force than when the man himself hit his head against the wall.

Kwadang!!!

The wizard Merlin was hit hard against the wall.

His jaw was shattered and the bones in his back were broken, but he was still moving.

He tries to pounce on Victorica with his broken body

━Kaaah!!!

It looked beyond the category of living things.

The dead and undead who wake up after reaching the end of their lives are not like that.

The existence of this Ludens is tied to the rule of HP, and the rule was that when it reaches 0, it collapses and dies.

However, even though it was clear that what could be called HP was reaching 0, Merlin did not collapse.

Victorica felt goosebumps at that sight and hurriedly left the detention center.

Gaddeuk-.

Gaddeuk-.

The man resisted by biting the bars of the detention center with his sharp teeth.

“What on earth is going on?”

Victoria screamed, clutching her wrist that had been bitten by the man.

At that time, the sound of applause, clap, clap, began to be heard.

When I turned my head, I saw the cell next to the detention center.

Someone who was crouching inside, hidden in the darkness, applauded leisurely and burst into laughter. It was as if he was dying because everything was so fun.

Victoria asked as she received the potion from her student council members.

“Orca, what’s so funny?”

“It can’t help but be funny. Victor, that guy really threw the dice towards the ‘destruction of the world’. I honestly thought he would stop 16 blocks from the finish line. But he didn’t stop.”

Victorica couldn’t understand what Orca was trying to say.

But what was important now was this.

“… It’s not getting better.”

Potion.

It was an item that could heal any wound.

Even if I drank it or poured it on my skin, the just-injured ‘wrist’ did not heal.

The same goes for applying a bandage or applying herbs.

Victorica soon realized that there was an unexpected abnormality in her condition.

「Curse of the Red Moon: Wounds no longer heal. This condition can never be canceled.”

“…”

Victorica was a smart person.

She was able to quickly grasp the situation.

“Isn’t it okay to get bitten!?”

The only thing that came to mind was the memory of being bitten by Merlin, who seemed to still be longing for her life inside that detention center. It seems that being attacked at that time was the problem.

━Kaaa! Kaaagh!

Watching Merlin buckle her joints and struggle to get out of her cage, Victorica made a quick decision.

“Block off all areas! Merlin may not be the only one brought back from the dead! It’s completely different from the undead I’ve seen so far! “I have to tell everyone!”

Fortunately or unfortunately, the student council had experienced a large-scale mine incident and was prepared for such a large-scale emergency situation.

Perhaps the best way would be to activate the barrier of the five pillars that protect Ludens, maximize the barrier to the academy’s shelter, and herd citizens and students into it.

“Senior Skadi! Rescue calls from residents in the commercial district… !”

“A radio call came from the guard post at the main gate! It is said that a group of unknown monsters have begun to attack!”

The executive committee members’ offices were filled with extremely embarrassing bustle.

Confusion encroaches on everything, as if black ink was sprinkled on white drawing paper.

That wasn’t the only problem.

“Hey! Hey! Hans! What’s wrong with you!”

“Ooh, we’re all going to die! We’re all going to die!”

Some of the executive officers in the office were extremely overreacting.

“Don’t come near me!”

Sereung-.

He even pulls out a weapon and aims it at people around him.

“Why is that guy like that again!?”

Victorica asked.

Then Hilde, who was watching the whole scene carefully, spoke.

“That guy was looking at the moon. Maybe I was possessed by that red moon, or… “I think I may have been attacked by some sort of spirit.”

Pot-.

Hilde quickly went behind Hans and hit him on the back of the neck with the blade of her hand.

Hans is struck by a hand snatch and falls down with a thud.

As Victorica was watching, Orca, who was locked in the cage, spoke.

“Student President, broadcast the crisis situation. “Inform all Ludens of the just-revealed facts through the student council president’s exclusive channel.”

It was a cool-headed decision.

Victoria took out a crystal from her pocket that only the student council president could use on Ludens Island.

She then held the crystal the size of a fingernail to her lips and said.

* * *

━I repeat! This is a real situation! Students and residents of Ludens Island, please never come into contact with the resurrected dead! You must not even look at the moon in the sky! Students and residents should evacuate to designated locations one by one.

Victorica’s voice rang loudly through speakers installed throughout Ludens Island.

From noble mtl dot come

Hearing those words, Nike ran as fast as she could to the promised evacuation site.

After the Fire Dragon Fairybane’s Ludens bombing incident and the large-scale Mine incident, a huge amount of Rene was invested in the main hall to build a Tsushima protection system.

So to speak, it was the last bastion of Ludens Island and a place that could be called an ark.

Many people were already heading there.

“Hurry up! Run quickly! “I don’t have time to take care of that!”

“But Dad! Squirrel Dolores! Hey, I missed it there!”

“Dolores… , I can’t help it! “We have to go in first and take a look!”

“Dolores!”

A boy running, led by his father, kept looking back.

Now I see a small squirrel trembling among the people running away somewhere.

━Pyeong… Wow… !

Squirrels make a ‘squeak’ sound when they are scared.

That guy also looked very scared.

Beep-!

Nike put his finger her her in his her mouth her her and made a noise.

The squirrel looks at Nike.

“Come here!”

Soon Nike opened his palms like a catch player deftly catching the ball.

Then the squirrel leapt and flew towards Nike.

Paat-.

A squirrel that adjusts the membrane between its hands and feet like wings to land on Nike’s palm

It’s like asking for a hug.

“It was a flying squirrel!”

Nike placed the squirrel on the boy’s shoulder.

“You’re a nicely raised squirrel, right? But, kid! “You can’t miss it now!”

“Dolores! Thank you, sister!”

“Now follow Dad’s words and escape to the shelter!”

Saying that, Nike looked back again.

Now everyone in Ludens is fleeing to the main auditorium and the bunker located underground. The world is truly a state of chaos.

“Oh, Mom!”

“Nomi! Where are you Nomi! “My daughter!”

A child who loses his or her parents’ hands.

Parents who lost their child.

━kk!

━Miyaooong.

Even animals abandoned by animals in disaster situations.

Next to them, the executive committee, the student council, and those who appeared to be members of the vigilante group seemed to be trying their best to lead the people, but it was not enough.

━Do, the eastern guard post is breached! There are too many numbers, wow!!!

“Guardroom! Guardroom!!! Shit! I lost contact! “I don’t even know what’s going on!”

In the clamor of darkness where the sun had not risen, Nike vividly felt the cry of life fading away.

Nike, whose hearing is several times more sensitive than others, feels like covering his ears.

But he couldn’t do that.

Nike soon climbed to the high transmission tower.

Nike was as skillful as a raccoon climbing a tree.

A transmission tower measuring tens of meters.

Nike, standing at the top, could notice that everything from the outskirts of the island was becoming increasingly dark.

Paaang-.

Telephone poles collapse and the streetlights that were lighting up the outskirts gradually go out.

What could be called a ‘black wave’ was swallowing up the light of Ludens.

A group of strange dead people?

No, I couldn’t find out in detail.

One thing was certain: the ‘black waves’ were rushing towards the shelter of Ludens Academy, where there was still light.

Despair.

It is despair.

Calculating the speed, it takes approximately 2 hours to reach the shelter.

No, maybe the time is shorter than that.

“Nike! What are you doing there! “We also need to evacuate quickly!”

At that time, someone shouted from underneath the magical transmission tower.

When he looked down, he saw Enio waving his hand urgently.

“Enio!”

Jorrrr-.

Nike came down from the transmission tower.

In the midst of all this chaos, I am very glad to see Enio’s face

Enio was the same.

“Nike, what did you see up there? Do you think you have any idea what’s going on?”

“I’m not sure either! However, something terrible was approaching on top of the black waves! Something extremely large and extremely vicious-looking was crouching in the darkness!”

I couldn’t see it very well.

I knew for sure that it was dangerous.

At that time, Enio spoke in a serious and cold voice.

“The sun is not rising. The dead in the grave come back to life. I don’t know what happened. “Is it related to Victor?”

In response to Enio’s question, Nike grabbed Enio’s arm

“I don’t know! But for now, let’s escape to the main auditorium!”

* * *

The sun did not rise on Ludens Island.

Soon, all kinds of monsters were seen flooding into Ludens Academy.

In the process, Victorica was injured.

It was a debuff called “Curse of the Red Moon.”

It was a debuff that meant wounds could no longer be treated─that is, HP could not be recovered.

Still, Victoria was lucky.

Because somehow she survived.

Although it wasn’t shown on screen, countless people were literally dying in Ludens right now. People whose names I don’t even know.

If it were a game, it would have been a moment when an NPC was sacrificed for the sake of direction.

But they were not NPCs.

I knew very well that they were all people who had families and lived in their own workplaces. Maybe that’s why my shoulders started to feel very heavy.

‘Red Moon’, an event that occurred because I threw the dice.

The lives of those who were swept away there, and the lives of those who will be lost in the future, were clearly a burden that I had to bear.

Maybe it was right to give up my turn like Gilgamesh─.

That thought occurred to me for a moment.

If I hadn’t participated in this game, the red moon wouldn’t have risen.

The destruction scenario for Ludens would not have been triggered.

But I changed my mind.

Even if I gave up on the game, everything was destined to end anyway.

All I have to do now is to calmly assess the current situation and somehow move on and end this terrible game.

The 5th 8-eye compartment.

It must have been said that the gods had prepared a ‘gift’ for me here.

When trying to figure out what it was, the game master said.

『A desperate crisis. However, not many people would enjoy a scenario that simply presents overwhelming despair. Play is complete only when there is a solution to the problem.』

The game master opened the drawer at the bottom of the table.

Then, he took out a ‘Buddha statue’ sitting cross-legged on a peculiar-looking platform.

The skinny figure reminded us of an ascetic and at the same time created an ominous feeling.

It had eight arms, each with a seal. I don’t know what it meant, but I felt dizzy just looking at it.

The game master said.

『The false creator, the master of the red moon and destruction, is ‘Demon God: Demiurge.’ This disaster can be solved by defeating this guy.』

「Lv.666 – Demon God, Demiurge

HP : ??

Profanity.”

「Profanity: Deals 5 damage to all targets’ ‘Mental Power’ every turn.」

Level 666.

I’ve never heard of it.

Are you saying level 99 wasn’t the limit?

No, I can’t be bound by such trivial rules now.

The game master said with his remaining eye shining.

『Okay, then choose the words to use in this episode. If I were to give you some advice, you would have to choose especially carefully.』
