I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 464
464 – 「Episode: Red Moon」 # 8
464 – 「Episode: Red Moon」 # 8
Cain caressed the back of his neck.
What comes to mind was the final confrontation with Asongi.
That day.
She thought she was cut, but she wasn’t.
To be exact, it was Viktor who saved his life.
“You little brat.”
Cain found it extremely humiliating.
But on the other hand, she felt the relief of having something wrapped around her heart and her cut cleanly away.
It was only after her life, which had been standing on a high peak, fell to the cliff called defeat, that Cain had no choice but to acknowledge her own feelings.
‘I didn’t want to be the peak.’
The end of all tops.
The view up there was so high and lonely that it just tore her up.
She just ruined people with distorted loneliness.
The man now came down to where everyone was and looked around.
The world her wife had loved was now in complete chaos.
The sun did not rise.
Strange groups were covering Ludens Island like black waves.
Ludens, the island of play.
It was an island where her own foolish days were buried.
On the one hand, it was also a place of memories where ‘youth’ and ‘freshness’, which had already passed and whose meaning had faded, remained. It’s all immersed in darkness.
Will her wife’s laughter and her her own foolishness her her her all return to meaningless nothingness?
Paaat-!
Then Cain saw the light.
It was a light source that shined like the sun in the sky.
“Is it Victorica?”
Cain walked towards her as if he was being guided by something.
She was able to reunite with a person she had never forgotten.
“Avon.”
“Cain.”
The end of the world.
The meeting between the two prosecutors was natural.
It would also be good to finish the day’s match that could not be concluded.
But.
The tip of Cain’s drawn sword was pointed not at Avon but at a strange being.
“Is it a demon?”
Demiurge, the demon god.
It was clear that the catastrophe of the red moon originated from this strange disaster.
The end of the world.
Desperate fate.
Before that, Cain’s mind began to calm down.
“If I defeat you, I will at least get a shot at fate.”
Sereung-.
Cain led her sword.
The demon goddess extends her hand towards him with an angry face.
『━━──. ━━.』
The demon muttered something unintelligible.
One thing is certain, it is that the demon Demiurge recognized the swordsman in front of him as an ‘enemy’. Just before the demon god’s large palm touches Cain.
Paaat-.
Cain passed in front of her at lightning speed and stood behind the demon.
Sereung-.
He said as he put the drawn sword into its sheath
“Type 8, cutting fate.”
Paaat-!
A dazzling light emitted from the demon’s arm that was stretched out towards Cain.
Soon, the huge, solid mountain-like arm cracked on its own and was finally cut into clean pieces and shattered.
Looking at that scene, Victorica felt a chill.
Did Viktor once say something incomprehensible, such as “Arclight’s swordsmanship is not for cutting down people or monsters?”
It must have been because the movements were large and the output of magical energy was consumed more than necessary for it to be a sword technique created simply to cut down people or monsters.
Now that I think about it, Victor’s guess was exactly right.
That may have been the reason why Cain tried to make Viktor, rather than Orca, her successor.
“Foolish guy. “What are you doing in a daze?”
At that time, the head of the family spoke out.
Victorica came to her senses
Now that one of the Demon God’s arms has fallen off.
Now is the time to counterattack.
“Yingying! Are you ready now!?”
Victorica raised her palms high.
Then, she unleashed her magic power and shot it out in the form of a fireball.
“I have to pay for what I’ve earned so far!”
━Yingyingyaing.
Dark clouds covered the sky.
Cloud Ring received that fireball-like magic and wrapped around her grip with a more ferocious feeling.
━Crumbling… !
She finally let out a thunderous sound and shot out her countless lightning bolts at her demon spirit.
Kwagwang, Kwagaga River, Kwagwagwang!
* * *
『Is it Noah’s storm? What a disaster. I also remember the time when the whole world was covered with water.』
The game master said with admiration.
Apparently, the storm ‘Cloudring’ created by Victorica was quite amazing even to him.
In fact, the demon Demiurge was taking damage from the rushing lightning.
I don’t know what the limit of his physical strength is, but the image of an arm being torn off from the body of a guy repeatedly struck by lightning was shown on the monitor screen.
An arm cut by Cain.
An arm struck by Victoria’s lightning.
Now there are six arms left.
I guessed that this was some kind of ‘countdown’.
If I drop all my arms, wouldn’t something work out?
Flashing, rumbling-.
A flash of light flashed again.
One arm turns black and falls off from the demon’s body.
Now I have five arms left.
The blacksmith god was greatly impressed by the sight.
『That Cloudling is a divine object imbued with the power of the Almighty King. No matter how false a god he is, he cannot compete with him! I made it! I spun it round and round with a cotton candy machine.』
Was the creator of Cloudling a blacksmith god?
It was hard to imagine that a man who looked like a hammer and an anvil was making cotton candy.
But his story was true.
『Lv.125 Cloudring Yingying』
『Lv.126 Cloudring Yingying』
『Lv.127 Cloudring Yingying』
.
.
.
Cloudling was so powerful that it was still growing stronger, having surpassed the three-digit level. When thinking about how strong he could become, the blacksmith god spoke as if he were perplexed.
『But the problem is that it is made too powerful. If it continues to grow like this, the world will be destroyed not by Demiurge but by Storm Noah. It was originally created as a world-destroying weapon… 』
Excess of anything seems to be a bad law.
But now there was no other way.
All I can do now is wait and see how the world where I threw the dice will go.
Cain and Avon.
Two men’s battle and the huge storm Noah.
Everything far exceeded my expectations, so I can’t predict what will happen in the future.
The only thing I was worried about was Nike.
Due to my throwing Nike’s wooden dice, Nike’s vitality was still decreasing. The number of stamina that used to be three digits has now gone down to two digits for a long time.
The longer the game goes on, the more disadvantageous it is.
When I thought about that, the game master said.
『Did three arms fall off? Now, according to the rules, it is Demiurge’s turn to attack. I will use the skill “Thought Contamination”. It is a skill that specifies one target and causes their mental power to reach a definite minus level.』
When your mental strength becomes 0, you become a dead person.
A technology that turns such numbers into a definite negative.
Isn’t this the same as saying that we will use a target-specific instant kill?
Is there a way to hinder or stop it?
When I looked at the God of Adventure, he shook his head as if he had read my thoughts.
『I’m sorry, but I can’t stop it. “Ideological pollution” Cannot be avoided even by our gods. But this is an opportunity. Demiurge exposes his weakness for 2 turns after casting 《Thought Contamination》.』
“Are you saying we have no choice but to lose one person?”
『The sacrifice of cattle for the greater good is inevitable. If you’ve made it this far, you’ve done well. It’s better to lose a little than to lose everything. To be honest, I wasn’t even expecting to be able to destroy three arms. I never thought I could come this far. Player, you did well enough.』
It was the right story.
It is better to lose a little than to lose everything.
However, I felt undesirable.
It’s inevitable.
Didn’t I come here to avoid the inevitable?
In the end, even though I was sitting here, I felt like I couldn’t escape the game of dice and fate.
As I was thinking that, the Game Master – God of Fate looked at the board and seemed lost in thought.
『I don’t know who to designate as the target of contamination. It’s full of annoying guys. Arclight’s girl causing a storm? Or is it Cain, the swordsman who cut off Mine’s arm?』
Zek-.
Game master pointing his finger at the rest of the board.
『The old protagonist Luke also has variables that cannot let down his guard. Avon, his teacher and my great warrior, is also a nuisance. Also my… 』
The game master’s only eye was looking at Nike.
His finger stopped pointing at Nike and now pointed at Enio.
『Enio Black Star. She said It was a vessel of God. I’m not doing anything right now, but I’m crouching down as if I’m storing up ‘strength’. She It’s definitely going to be a nuisance. I’m worried.』
Zek-.
The game master picked up a 6-eye die.
『In cases like this, it’s best to solve it this way.』
Degurrr-.
The dice rolled on the board pointed to 1.
『Are you Noah’s master? It seems that the Arclight girl’s fate also ended here. Personally, I think he is a wonderful person. There was even a specially prepared ‘route’.』
“… Victorica!”
I was able to notice that Demiurge’s target was fixed on Victorica.
Can you escape?
I selected Victorica and pressed the ‘Run’ button.
But now they stopped listening to me.
* * *
Wooow-.
The demon god moved his five remaining arms around.
Victorica, who was a sorceress, was able to realize that it was a universal and transcendent magical seal that she could not understand.
And that the target is yourself.
It seems that the devil god acknowledged that Victorica’s storm was a threat.
I got goosebumps and felt a bit of joy at the same time.
She, like an ant, was recognized as an ‘enemy’ by God.
“The lightning stung a little, didn’t it? Ok? “You monster!”
I spoke confidently.
But soon a great despair bloomed in my heart.
Because it was clear that I would experience something more terrible than death.
I have to run away─.
A warning rang in my head.
Perhaps this is a message from Victor.
But.
Victorica didn’t want to turn around and run away.
“Anyway, I have one more person.”
There are two Victoricas.
And in many ways, Victorica, an experienced veteran, will live as a better version of herself than herself, who is clumsy.
“Now this is a stupid story, but Victor! I wanted to get past the ending with you! I think so far! So you must go tomorrow! And we have to win!”
Victorica squeezed out the last of her magic.
If you are about to collapse, use everything you have as an output for Cloudling Ingying.
“Gaaa—!”
A shout that sounds like a scream.
Soon Demiurge’s face turns towards Victorica.
Finally, its many-faced face opened her wide.
What was visible inside Demiurge’s face was a ‘core’ that looked exactly like the red moon rising high in the sky. Perhaps that is the essence of that monster. And it must be a weakness.
However, it was far beyond humanity.
As the concepts begin to flood into Victorica’s mind, her mental strength quickly sinks.
‘If I go crazy like this, will I end up like those dead people?’
Victorica thought like a lantern.
‘I always wanted to look pretty. No, it’s already too late. It was going to look ugly because of the storm and the blood everywhere. I’m scared to look in the mirror.’
She actually didn’t want to die.
But it was already too late.
Paaat-.
The demon’s core begins to glow.
A red ray of light shoots from it towards Victorica.
『━━──. ━.』
Victorica sensed her own end.
That was the moment when she closed her eyes tightly.
Buung-.
Victoria’s body floated in the air with an unexpected feeling.
Plop-.
The feeling of her bottom falling into a cold, wet puddle brought her to her senses.
“Uh, how…”
