Episode 114
[-Moonlight Mountain-]
After reading the words on the hologram, Sumire looked up. A bright moon reflected in the sky and a beautiful flower field spread out in front of you.
‘…I’m going to do my best.’
The victory Shin Yoo-seong wants.
This was a battle with consequences. Depending on his victory or defeat, Shin Yoo-seong could be either disappointed or happy. So Sumire couldn’t be careless.
Saaaa!
“Darkness… Cover the sun!”
Paaang!
The ring on Sumire’s hand turned purple and disappeared.
At the same time, black clouds covered the sky.
The mana that spread around Sumire soon changed into undead forms such as skeletons and ghouls.
Sumire was no longer an inferior student in Class F. The power of Sumire, who had the synergy of Laplace’s fragment and artifact, was enormous.
“War victory to the master! Ruin to the enemy!”
Death Knight in armor.
“Familiar Lilith. …I’m here to help my master.
Lilith smiled coquettishly.
Sumire issued a single order with a serious expression.
“…every. Please do your best to fight.”
Death Knight screams as soon as the order is given.
“Ruin to your enemies!”
The skeletons lifted the bone fragments they used as weapons.
Tadak! Follow me!
The undead army advancing with the chorus of hell. Isshin frowned and raised his sword.
“Amount war? …not one. You haven’t forgotten my characteristics, have you?”
Tsutsutsut!!
Let Isshin take the stance of sword swordsmanship.
Red blades swirling from the sword.
Chow!
Isshin’s sword swung around a half moon. Red swords scattered beautifully accordingly.
Awesome!!
Skeletons turned to powder and shattered. The bone powder of the skeletons turned into mana, and Isshin’s sword absorbed all the scattered mana like a black hole.
Isshin’s swordsmanship became more red.
This is Isshin’s S-class trait.
It was a ghost.
The effect is simply that the more enemies are cut, the stronger they become and absorb that power.
However, there was no stronger effect than this for swordsmen who engage in close combat.
Assuming that Isshin was stronger than his opponent, it didn’t matter if there were a lot of enemies. No, on the contrary, he was able to become stronger by feeding on his enemies.
Chow ah!!
As Isshin’s sword slashed through the undead, the demonic spirit grew thicker. The more he did, the more Isshin’s sword became more and more red.
but.
“…Whoa, where!”
Let Lilith’s eyes shine. Isshin’s body stiffened. The effect of Lilith’s skill [Petrifying Gaze].
However, Isshin thrust the sword into his thigh without hesitation before the effect spread throughout his body.
Grasp!
The shield breaks and red blood splashes into the air.
[22% of the barrier has been destroyed]
[78% of the remaining barrier]
The hologram gave a warning, but Isshin didn’t stop moving even as he was bleeding.
This is the information gap.
Isshin also said that Sumire had come to treat Lilith as her familiar. Everyone knew about Lilith’s skill [Petrifying Gaze].
“Keugh! you! Such recklessness!”
As the startled Lilith stepped back, the Death Knight threw herself and charged at Isshin.
Quaang! Jjoong!
However, the fragments of the armor shattered by Isshin’s sword wrapped in a demon.
Fain!
Let’s dye all the swords red. Isshin’s sword instead turned into a white light. Proof that Isshin’s demonic energy has reached its limit.
Swoop. chuck.
Isshin whispered in a sad voice as he put his sword into the scabbard.
“…One Hundred Ghost Night Trips.”
Tsutsutsutsut!!
Booung-!
Let Isshin pull out his sword and perform a swordsmanship. The collected ghost energy was emitted like a wave. One second of silence when everyone stopped.
The undead that surged in like waves were cut in half and collapsed.
A Death Knight with cracks in his armor.
Lilith with a broken barrier.
If you don’t succeed in enchanting, Lilith is weak against 5th grade bosses.
On the other hand, Isshin is a student with the strongest fighting power in Japan against the majority.
Saaaa-!
The undead that were cut down became mana again and were absorbed into Isshin’s sword.
A continuation of the cycle.
“Everyone, go all the way! for the master! Ruin to the enemy!”
Death Knight shouted loudly, but Seunggi seemed to lean towards Isshin.
However, Laplace’s power that Sumire had shown so far was only part of it.
– Now it’s your turn to need my strength.
A 7th grade boss called a disaster.
Whispers of Plague Witch Laplace.
Laplace spoke to Sumire in a sweet voice.
– …cute child. The moment you sincerely wish is always for that person?
Hearing Laplace’s voice, Sumire spoke with all her might with determined eyes.
“…please. Lend me your strength!”
Sumire’s desperate request.
– Whoops, yes. don’t lend me
Laplace replied in a laughing voice.
– …a child who resembles me. i favor you If there’s anything you want, be silly.
Whoa!
world stopped.
Sumire’s vision was enveloped in black clouds. In front of the dark, where nothing can be seen. Soon after, the clouds lifted and the landscape of Dalmaji Mountain turned into Laplace’s Castle.
– …There are endless stories I want to share with you.
Sitting on the throne, Laplace looked down at Sumire and smiled enchantingly like a witch.
– Hehe, today I will be content with handing over gifts.
Sumire tightened her eyes with a serious expression and nodded. Laplace gestured for Irio.
– Now sit here.
The seat that Laplace guided was her throne.
“This is…”
Sumire slowly approached and looked at the throne. Laplace personally placed Sumire on the throne.
– It’s my throne. And these are my trinkets.
Tok. Swoop.
Laplace put the flower-shaped ornament on his head to Sumire.
– It suits you well.
Laplace smiles and laughs.
She whispered her final goodbyes into Sumire’s ear.
– Alright then… my child. Show your power to the whole world.
Sitting on the throne, Sumire’s expression gradually changed. His eyes were relaxed and he was smiling languidly, and his mouth was smiling.
* * *
Quaang! Cheoong!
Isshin cut down the undead like a demon.
wickedness!
little bit more.
Awesome! Tsuaak!
little bit more.
Quaang!
Opponent’s mana is finite.
The power of one’s demonic spirit is infinite. That’s why Isshin thought he could just slash all the enemies in front of him.
Clearly, the victory lies with you.
I thought so.
oh oh
Dark clouds obscured the bright moon in the sky.
An ominous aura sweeping around.
A strange tingling sensation all over the body.
Isshin stared at the darkening sky as he thrust his sword into the ghoul.
Black clouds slowly lifted.
Then the red moon appeared.
A black cloud descended upon the summit of Moon View Mountain, giving off a very ominous aura.
Saaa-
The clouds that stayed at the top started to clear again. What was revealed this time was the unidentified throne. And Sumire smiles.
Remembrance! chuck!
ghoul.
Skull.
Death Knight.
release.
All the undead knelt down to worship the queen. Sumire leisurely looked down as if the whole scene was natural.
“…don’t do one. you.”
Isshin with a puzzled expression.
Sumire spoke in a different, alluring voice.
“…howl.”
Undead roar with the Queen’s voice. The skeletons had weapons, the ghouls had red nails, and the Death Knights emitted swords and eyes. Lilith was even given a whip that looked like an artifact.
This is the 7th grade boss.
Plague witch Laplace’s power.
“…Mr. Kirishima. For someone dear to me. I can never lose. I will win with all my strength.”
When the word “important person” came out of Sumire’s mouth, Isshin’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily.
“Then shall we start the second round?”
Sumire’s relaxed smile.
Isshin was shaken by Sumire’s appearance.
“Don’t be one!”
In the end, Isshin shouts his spirit and rushes towards Sumire.
Taat-!
The ghoul’s fingernails are scratched.
Stepping on the skull’s head and jumping over it.
“I am!”
Lilith’s whip shattered the barrier around her leg, but she didn’t stop. Isshin strikes the Death Knight’s greatsword with a flash-like movement.
cooong!
Wearing a ghost, Isshin made his way through the pouring undead army.
“I’m sure you’ll come back!”
A cry like a scream.
Isshin, who had been raging fiercely, was now engulfed in demonic energy all over his body. Eyes that glow red like demons.
Taat!
The strengthened Isshin’s body exceeded the speed of a human.
The sword’s target is Sumire sitting on the throne.
However, Sumire did not fight back against Isshin. Rather, he looked at me with blank eyes.
white violets.
The same eyes as when looking at that flower.
“Ugh…”
Let’s face Sumire.
stop.
Isshin’s demon-like red eyes twitched. Sumire then whispered with a smile she had never shown before.
“…As expected, Kirishima-san is weak in affection.”
wickedness.
Sumire stretched out her hand.
Pooh-!
At the same time, Isshin’s chest was pierced by black energy.
[All barriers have been destroyed.]
[Barriers remaining 0%]
Sumire’s blow caused Isshin to fall and fall. Isshin’s defeat was decided the moment he hesitated.
“…lose.”
Sumire was strong.
Now, Sumire didn’t need to rely on Isshin or ask for help. All she was looking at was Shin Yuseong.
“…don’t do one. What was I to you?”
At Isshin’s lonely question, Sumire pondered for a while before speaking with a complicated face.
“…probably a colleague?”
The appearance of Sumire saying that was not the Sumire Isshin had known.
“But… Kirishima-san didn’t come, did he?”
A very alluring voice.
“When I was lonely and having a hard time… it wasn’t Kirishima-san who stood by my side and gave me courage, right?”
Sumire’s way of speaking was very foreign to Isshin. A heart that continues to beat with unknown emotions.
Sumire’s mouth moved again.
“Anyway, thanks to Kirishima-san. Thanks to you… I was able to meet Yoosung.”
Sumire’s cheeks blushing in embarrassment as she said that was so beautiful. An expression that Isshin had never shown before.
That expression drove a painful wedge into Isshin’s heart more than any harsh words.
Saaa.
Isshin’s body disappears as a fragment of the hologram.
‘If only I had gone to see Hanajima.’
Isshin looked up at Sumire and remembered what was already too late.
‘…If so. Has it changed?’
All that remained on Isshin’s lips was a bitter smile.
‘As expected, I’m not one, I’m you…’
The view in front of my eyes is changing as the world collapses. Isshin slowly closed his eyes.
