I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 462
462 – 「Episode: Red Moon」 # 6
462 – 「Episode: Red Moon」 # 6
The demon god Demiurge was despair itself.
Just by this guy appearing in the world, people’s emotions were busy collapsing.
Their despair was keenly conveyed to me through a screen resembling a monitor.
If it had been me there, I would have been very disappointed.
But.
Victorica seemed not to give up.
“He’s a strong guy.”
I threw the crystal dice I received from Victorica.
With all my heart.
With a heart of trust in the guy I’ve seen longer than anyone else.
『Victorica’s Crystal Dice: A die made of crystal that shines like the sun. The ‘mental power’ of the subjects is recovered according to the number rolled.』
Degurrrr-.
Victorica’s dice roll beautifully on the board.
The number indicated by the die that stops making a clear sound is 6.
It was the highest number.
“According to the rules, everyone’s mental strength is restored by 10 times 6.”
Beyond the screen, Victorica raised her hand.
A light like a small sun rises high into the sky from his hand
But that was probably a good thing.
In the darkness, I could see Victorica standing under the sun and shouting at people.
That cry is keenly heard even by me, who is not at the scene.
Don’t give up.
Yes, it is not time to give up yet.
Everyone is fighting for their lives even in a terrible hellish landscape.
I, too, have no choice but to make up my mind to do so.
Now, we will have to come up with a plan to attack Demiurge.
Actually, I have some idea of the strategy.
Two things come to mind.
I wasn’t sure yet.
It was a time when I thought there was no clue at all.
Paaat, paaat-!
Something continued to crash from the sky toward the ground.
It fell like a meteorite and appeared, evaporating a group of monsters and the dead in the surrounding area.
It was a red flash.
A warrior with the appearance of a giant wearing red armor and holding an ax and a sword in each hand shouted.
『Everyone prepare for war! From now on, this land will escape the human world and head towards the divine era!』
That person…
Isn’t he the man who was next to me with his arms crossed just a moment ago?
God of warriors.
And next to it, the goddess of order and the goddess of beauty were also seen.
『Everyone shout!』
When the warrior god shouted, everyone in Ludens, who had just been exhausted from injuries, fatigue, and fear, opened their mouths and started shouting.
It seems like you can feel the vibration even through the screen.
“What is this…”
As I was racking my brain to understand the situation, the bird-headed god opened his beak and shouted.
『You did well, player! Thanks to your right decisions and choices, we were able to delay time until the moment when the barrier was destroyed and we could intervene!』
Is that really so?
It seems that this is what the god of adventure meant by ‘gift’.
Ludens Island was a place protected by the rules of the Five Pillars.
Because there was a barrier between the pillars, there was a rule that gods and evil spirits could not enter Ludens Island without permission.
However, the demon god Demiurge is a part of ‘god’, even if it is a lie.
In order for this guy to be active on Ludens Island, the destruction of the barrier is inevitable.
What is noteworthy here is that the gods of the pantheon can also become involved in earthly affairs due to the destroyed barrier.
They stopped playing with the dice on this game board and headed to the ground.
They were probably just looking for the present opportunity.
“Did I do a good job?”
The decision I made was probably meaningless.
But if you think about it closely, I didn’t do anything except throw the dice.
The ones who survived were the people who remained on Ludens Island.
The people who deserved encouragement and praise were my friends and my lovers.
And they were people whose names I didn’t even have time to memorize.
The bird-headed god opened his beak and shouted.
『Game Master, your arbitrary tyranny ends here!』
Weeeeeng, weeeeeng-.
The siren of the Pantheon continues to be heard.
A battlefield of destruction unfolding on a dark board.
Everything begins to be swept away by a new wave.
Soon the game master opened his heavy lips and spoke.
『I knew that you guys were planning something. But, so what? The demon god is still alive and well. The sun did not rise.』
It was the right story.
The level 666 demon is strong.
It means that it is a being that can never be underestimated.
The game master added:
『Moreover, gods cannot kill each other. Even if it is a created and false vassal. Furthermore, you, who are not even players, are not qualified to defeat me, Demiurge. Only players who have overcome adversity and hardship can defeat me.』
The bird-beaked god kept his mouth shut.
I couldn’t tell the bird’s face, but it had a rather serious and serious expression.
The God of Hammers, who had kept his mouth shut, calmly assessed the situation, saying, “I can’t just be happy.”
Of course, my position was different.
“But it became worth it.”
It was also true that something called victory arose from a completely invisible cliff of darkness.
It feels like I can see a thin path leading from a cliff.
It’s worth a walk.
But that is my story as a ‘player’.
It is not I who walk this hellish path, but those who live on the ground, beyond the screen, hit by reality.
Moving towards despair is tantamount to suicide.
Can I really tell them to die?
『We will open the way!』
The gods beyond the screen began to expand their defense lines.
They made their way towards the platform where the demon god Demiurge was sitting.
『Split!』
The warrior god lowered his ax and struck down.
Then, like the splitting Red Sea, the black waves of the dead split into left and right sides.
A path has emerged between the waves of death.
The only solution for now is to move towards the end.
However.
Some will fall before reaching the end of the road.
It means to die.
Dying in this final game meant eternal death.
There is no loop, so there is no resurrection.
So I hesitated for a moment.
It was about the time when the waves of the dead that the warrior god had split apart with his slashes were slowly starting to merge back into their original form.
Sussssseu-.
Someone moved beyond my screen.
━Uh, let’s go… !
That guy was Nike.
Nike, who had always been hesitant, was the first to take steps toward the divided path of death.
After that, Victorica, Enio, and Luke start running together.
I was just watching.
Because they were no longer characters controlled by me.
* * *
Nike was very timid.
In Nike’s wild life, not having ‘fear’ meant death.
Only the most cowardly survive.
In that sense, Nike was the last person to survive.
━Kaaagh!
━Kyaaak!
The wall of the dead splits left and right.
Looking at it, Nike felt scared.
The creature’s instinct was to back away and run away.
But Nike didn’t do that.
Because I knew someone had to run there.
Until now, Victor has carried the flag.
But.
Victor left this place to carry the heaviest flag.
Then he realized that the only person who had to shoulder this burden was Nike Mokemoke himself, Victor’s most trusted partner.
“Let’s go!”
Mate-.
Nike tapped her cheeks with her palms.
Suppress ‘fear’.
Running towards death.
“I’m going!”
Nike ran shouting.
Someone follows behind him.
“Victorica!”
“If you stop here, the sacrifices you have made so far will have no meaning.”
Victorica was a noblewoman.
She was an elite.
She was born into the upper class and had everything.
It wasn’t something that Victorica had because it was so great.
It was just something that was given naturally at birth.
Aside from what she had from the beginning, Victorica was an ordinary person.
At least that’s what I thought.
But others had high expectations for Victorica.
From noble mtl dot come
Student council president.
Arclight’s former princess.
Victor’s former fiancé.
The sense of duty that those roles have.
Because it weighed heavily on Victorica’s shoulders her her, she overextended herself in many ways throughout her life up to this point. But now that weight was pushing hard on Victorica’s back
“I am Victor’s confidant. In times like this, if she doesn’t take the lead, she will lose face.”
“I guess I said the wrong thing about the secretariat.”
At that time, Enio followed behind them.
Enio was a girl whose life was ruined by a being called God.
If I didn’t give them a shot, I couldn’t feel relieved.
And.
She knew that she still had ‘work to do’.
The important moment will come when Viktor believes in himself.
At that time, you must be at the center of all events.
Soon Luke shouted, swinging his sword.
“Everybody run!”
Luke was asked by Viktor to protect everyone.
Viktor did not collect Yumi’s debt for Luke.
He felt that now was the time to pay it forward.
Even if it means losing your life.
The current Luke was not afraid of things like death.
“Still, this is a bit hard!”
Luke was in charge of the last line of the breakthrough team.
However, as the black waves behind them gradually merged into one and chased them, it seemed like they would be swallowed up by terrible despair if they stopped for even a moment.
“Cream, Zeke!”
Victorica pulled out her card from her belt.
Two heroes emerge from the waves of hell.
Victorica said.
“I’m really sorry to ask you this, but both of you, please protect the rear!”
“There is no such thing as hell!”
“Crime, I guess this is the final destination of our journey.”
Kriemhild and Siegfried cut down the crowd of dead several times.
Thanks to that, the black waves hesitated.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, Victorica and her companions moved further ahead.
“aaak!”
Not long after that, Kriemhild, who had been defeating countless enemies, let out a scream.
Many of the dead grab her fallen arms and legs and barge in with their fangs.
━Kaaagh!
━Kyaaa!!!
“These b*stards, they are messing around as they please!”
Kriemhild’s eyes turned red and she swung her fist wildly.
But it was a heavy burden.
The number of dead is too high.
As she was immersed in the black waves, Kriemhild realized that this was her end.
The life I got as a bonus anyway.
It was a pleasant experience.
However, there is still work to be done as an ‘adult’.
“Zeke! Go first! Protect the children! They’re still young! “They are young children who haven’t even come of age yet!”
“Cream!!!”
Siegfried looked at his lover, who was buried in a crowd of dead people and the backs of children moving away. He was a hero. In this situation, he knew what was right.
However.
He leapt towards the dead who were attacking Kriemhild.
“Wait! “I will save you!”
“Zeke, you idiot! “I told you to leave me!”
“You decided to never leave again.”
Siegfried was a hero.
Since childhood, he dreamed of becoming a hero and became that.
He was called a great hero whom everyone looked up to.
But the last day of the world.
He has now chosen to be only one person’s lover rather than everyone’s hero.
“Hold on just a little while! Just a little!”
Sigh, wow!
Siegfried, cutting through the group of dead with his sword, finally grabbed Kriemhild’s arm.
I felt sorry for the lover who had already been tattered by numerous attacks.
“I finally caught it. “I won’t leave you behind anymore.”
The man hugged the woman with all his might.
The woman also hugged the man with all her strength.
As if we were one from the beginning.
As if we will no longer be separated from each other.
Although it was uneven, it was a good match.
“Kriemhild, I was happy to see you again.”
“… Zeke, you idiot… “
At this moment, Kriemhild’s love burned even hotter.
The ‘Devil’s Curse’ in her heart burns strongly.
“Let’s meet again, Zeke, someday, definitely!”
“Cream, wherever you are, I will come find you!”
Flash-.
A great light exploded into the world.
