episode_0368

Triple casting of the arcane arrow, triple casting of the magic bullet, if there is a moment in the middle, create an arcane blade and throw a dagger to prevent Dilos and start again from the beginning. The vision shield continues to be replenished whenever it breaks.

It was my first magic cycle as Lilith, who went the attack magic route, but the effect wasn’t that bad. At the point when triple casting was possible, most attack spells were able to deliver effective hits with each shot.

‘It’s a good thing I learned attack magic.’

If it were a standard route release where I could only use auxiliary magic, it would mean that Agnes would have to defeat that tricky tentacle bitch alone. Agnes’ magic power would probably have run out before she could kill all the vengeful spirits in the crowd, and she would have lost the battle.

However, the current Agnes was stably using her magic power and faithfully using the magic cycle I mentioned. If you look at the overall attack ratio, Agnes and I are about 3 to 7.

Of course, I wasn’t only interested in attack alone, so the ratio didn’t necessarily mean absolute contribution.

“Kill… . I will kill you… !!”

-Saaa!!

After tearing down half of the soul barrier, a dozen tentacles appeared from under the skirt, extending to the floor.

The disturbing tentacles, which clearly would never lead to anything good the moment they caught even a single strand, were reaching towards me and Agnes, so it was time to utilize my personal weapon hidden under my skirt.

“Miss Ness, just keep using your magic and don’t stop! I will stop everything that comes my way!”

“… Confirmed.”

Agnes gave a short answer and continued to chant magic, trusting me. Standing with her in a similar position as when I had protected Lizzy in the imperial palace before, I cut off the tentacles flying in front of me one by one.

-Sigh! Tsuuu!

“… Oh, shit! Shivaal… !”

I didn’t think much of it when I saw it in the game, but it’s really fucking disgusting.

Therefore, it was an attack that had to be blocked even more. This means that if you pass by by mistake, these creepy-looking things will end up in me or Agnes’ clothes.

Needless to say, I had already sworn that I would not accept any man other than Ethan, and I couldn’t lose Agnes’s virginity to a monster like this, as she was going down the pure love route with Antonio.

‘I’d rather get stabbed with a knife or a gun than get stuck in something like this… !’

I cut down tentacles that looked really shit in many ways a dozen times.

Perhaps because I thought it was no longer meaningful, I withdrew the tentacles that had reached out to Agnes and me, and while I watched Mel preparing for Phase 2, I also quietly had a conversation with Sei in my heart.

‘Say. Any minute now something will come up from the ground and attack me and Agnes.’

‘… huh.’

‘It doesn’t matter if you don’t give any warning, so if you see something coming up from under Agnes’ body, use a fierce gust of wind to push Agnes’ body backwards.’

‘… What about Lilith?’

‘I can avoid it on my own. So please just save Agnes.’

‘… … okay.’

Se had an expression on her face that said she didn’t like something, but I couldn’t help it because it was Agnes who needed protection more in this battle, not me.

-Sasashak! Let’s go!

‘come… .’

I sensed the pattern just before moving on to phase 2 approaching and prepared to use shockwave magic under my feet.

-grasp!

‘now!’

And that was the moment when I almost threw myself away to avoid the tentacles that were reaching out to penetrate my body from bottom to top.

-Phew!

“Keuheup… !!”

… To be exact, only about half of it was avoided.

-Wheee!

“Hhhhh?!”

At the same time, Agnes was also hit by a gust of wind and seemed to be flying backwards, so Sei’s assist seemed to be quite meaningful.

“… What is this all of a sudden… .”

-Phew!

“… … Thank you.”

‘joy.’

Agnes looks down at Sei and belatedly thanks him when she sees tentacles rising from where she was standing.

Say, who gave Agnes a strangely cold expression and returned to me as if he had done everything he had to do, looked agitated when he saw my leg, which had been half-pierced by a tentacle.

‘Lilith, legs…’ .’

‘It’s just a slight scratch, so you don’t have to worry about it.’

‘… It can be avoided… .’

‘It’s true that I avoided it because I didn’t die. This is all better if you go to the saint.’

‘… … .’

I felt like Sei’s spirit affinity was decreasing in real time, but I couldn’t help it. If I hadn’t sacrificed my left leg, the price would have been Agnes’ life.

Agnes, too, seemed to have noticed my wounds belatedly and gave me an apologetic look as I stood up limping on one leg.

“Reece, it couldn’t be because of me… .”

“The wound will heal if I go to Miss Se-ri anyway, so for now I just focus on dealing with that woman. From now on, stop the cycle you just did and triple cast the chain fire explosion… .”

When I told her not to worry about my injuries and just focus on the battle, Agnes reluctantly nodded and prepared the final spell.

Fortunately, Mel, who only had about ten barriers left, began to show the 2nd phase cutscenes seen in 『Luminor Academy』 without fail in this world as well.

“… Do you know what, Miss Reese? I am actually a native of Bridget Village, born and raised in this village since I was young.”

“Ha, ha, ha… .”

“Even though I am now joining hands with bandits and trying to kill you, there was a time when I lived peacefully in this village.”

I pretended to listen to Mel’s story and checked to see if Agnes was preparing the magic as I said.

If you don’t kill him in one go as soon as Phase 2 starts, you can’t guarantee victory in the battle with Mel and the rest of the bandits with this member from then on.

“Fall in love, get married, and have children that don’t hurt even if you put them in your eyes. It was my dream to just live peacefully in this village for the rest of my life.”

“… … .”

“You must be wondering why I was born to betray my village and become a stooge for bandits and do something like this. however… .”

‘… this.’

Mel was preparing something as his eyes flashed towards Agnes for a moment, so I had to quickly draw Mel’s gaze towards me in order to protect her, who was defenseless due to the magic preparation.

“I’m talking, but he doesn’t listen properly and looks the other way… .”

“Honestly, I’m not really curious about the story of how you became a stooge for bandits?”

“… yes? What did you just say?”

“I sincerely have no interest in the unfortunate and sad story of four years of having no choice but to betray the village.”

“… … .”

As soon as I uttered a single provocation, Mel withdrew her hatred towards Agnes and instantly shifted her gaze towards me, her expression hardening.

It seemed like it would still take a little more time for Agnes’ magic to be completed, so I had to draw that tentacle bitch’s attention towards me as much as possible.

“I thought something had happened to me… .”

“Well, he suffered the humiliation of losing his parents, husband, and children to the bandits and being taken away, but the village people did not save him while he was being taken away, and he was in pain every day, but he was able to overcome it with strength. If I continued to be angry at the helpless bandits, my insides would boil, so I would have turned my anger towards the easygoing villagers.

Then, with the help of the power he got from a demon or a suspicious monster, he became a stooge for bandits and invaded the village, and he said he would make the other women in the village go through what happened to him, or something like that, right?”

“… All, how do you do it?”

“It was just such an obvious story that there was no point in guessing. Originally Stockholm… No, women who are attacked by criminals surprisingly easily assimilate to the criminal’s emotions.

The fact that you joined hands with your enemy for revenge even in despair may feel like a special story to you, but in reality, it is just a common way of thinking of ordinary people.”

“… … .”

“It is said that when your body becomes distant, your mind also becomes distant, and in that sense, the villagers who did not save you must have gradually become enemies in your head without even knowing why.

On the other hand, since the physical distance between me and those disgusting bastards must have become minuscule every day, my heart must have also become closer.”

“… This bitch… !!!”

‘done… !’

Mel completely forgot about his anger towards Agnes, who did not listen to his story, and stretched out his remaining dozen tentacles towards me.

In a situation where I couldn’t use one leg properly, it was an attack that I couldn’t completely avoid, so I had no choice but to move my body with Sei’s help this time.

‘Say, there’s a gust of wind in the opposite direction.’

‘Lilith, with that body… .’

‘Anyway, it’s better than dying.’

‘… okay.’

Seeing the state of my injuries, Sei debated whether to use magic or not, but in the end, my life was more important, so Sei had no choice but to use a gust of wind to push my body away.

I had just enough time to avoid the dozens of tentacles flying towards me, and then my body fell to the floor.

– Clap!

“Sigh, ahhh… !!”

Since I couldn’t stand properly on my two legs, I had no choice but to crash with my body, and even this wasn’t enough to fully absorb the shock.

The moment I let out a scream from the pain that felt as if my injured leg would break off, strands of Mel’s tentacles rushed towards me as I was left defenseless.

“I’ll kill you… !! I will pierce every hole in your body and kill you… !!!”

… It seems like the timing was just right.

Dozens of fireballs formed behind a group of tentacles rushing towards me.

A huge group of fireballs, which were believed to have poured out all of Agnes’ remaining magical power, flew towards Mel’s body at once.

-bang! Quagwang! Quaaa!!

“Aaaa… !! Hot, hot… ! It’s hot… !!!”

Mel’s tentacles were writhing in pain on the floor, just a few centimeters away from my body.

Ten seconds were enough for her body to completely burn down.

“Ha, shit, fuck… .”

… Who said that exploring the humanities is a crappy class?

Really, I guess I’ll never listen to a hello lecture like this again.
