Beat the Boss Mob

33 – Perhaps, no way

Enlil’s question whether the one who treated him special was actually a survivor.

It was very sudden. I didn’t expect that kind of question at all.

It’s not even a joke. You can never do that when you see that expression.

Now Enlil was asking that stupid question with all his heart.

“Enlil. What are you talking about….”

“You said you heard that Seria-sama was alive.”

“So.”

“I was wondering if you saw potential in Seria-sama as well. She passed the tenth and now entered the eleventh, but rather than me, who still couldn’t defeat the owner of the tower, she had a chance against him….”

Bullsh*t. It’s just an estimate with no value. You have to sound sensible.

Rion, holding Enlil’s shoulders firmly, uttered an extremely cold voice that he had never uttered before.

“That’s it. Stop talking nonsense.”

“….”

“What I saw wasn’t anything like ‘The Hero Who Resurrected from the Tower’. Enlil, you are you.”

This woman will not know. How desperate she was just a moment ago.

She’s never had such miserable feelings. Even more so during the 100 years confined to the tower!

She was better off at the moment when she couldn’t think of hope itself.

She was less terrible than now when she gave up everything, adapting to her circumstances.

She saw that hope, she raised it little by little, and suddenly it collapsed.

Even the demon’s heart that had been holding on to Leon could not offset the shock.

The shock was that great, and I was filled with all sorts of negative emotions that I couldn’t bear to put into words.

“I am you unconditionally. So live. As long as you live, my beliefs will not change. Enlil.”

It was because they had no choice even to send Seria alive.

If I had to choose between Enlil and Seria, Rion would definitely choose the former.

The only thing keeping Seria alive right now is insurance in case of emergency.

No more, no less. No expectations, no affection.

It was Enlil who brought me out of the dark without even holding on to hope.

“I see….”

Enlil’s voice was full of relief as she murmured at the end of her words.

Thanks to that, Leon, who was a bit dumbfounded, said, “Paha,” And let out a laugh.

“Is that what you mean as soon as you come back and meet me? Not another word.”

“That… I’ve been thinking about that ever since I came back. The reason the instructor treats me specially is that I’m the only hero who came back alive from the tower. But now I’m not the only one.”

You’re talking nonsense, really.

Rion deliberately tousled Enlil’s hair with an exaggerated gesture.

As his hair became frizzy, Enlil stirred his arm, but he didn’t seem to like it.

“Where did you get hurt?”

“Treatment, as soon as I came back, I finished everything. There were few injuries this time.”

“There were few injuries.”

“Yes. Previously, he had driven him like he was going to kill him, but this time he overpowered him and ended it with that. What winds of change are blowing? Or maybe you want to humiliate me even more.”

Enlil whispered that he would make the owner of the tower pay for it.

Looking at her, Leone couldn’t help but laugh hahahaha.

‘I was a bit easygoing today.’

Is it because she lost her strength in the battle with Seria, who entered first? No way.

The divine power was annoying, but that was all. Rather, she was weaker than Enlil.

Perhaps it was because of my lack of experience, I saw a lot of things that I was overly nervous about.

The reason why Lion didn’t do nearly half of what he originally did to Enlil this time.

I was so relieved the moment I opened the door and entered, and I was so happy.

It’s a shame because I can control my emotions. If it wasn’t for that, I might have hugged her.

It’s a bit late, but I think it came up safely anyway.

I was relieved by her, so I couldn’t push her with her wildness.

All I had to do was properly put them out of combat and quickly send them out of the tower.

For Enlil, though, the owner of the tower had acted on a whim.

“More than that, you have no idea how surprised I am.”

“Are you surprised? Why?”

“You were obviously the first to enter the tower, but it was Seria who came out.”

Precisely, I entered the Throne Hall first.

Anyway, at that moment, 50,000 thoughts passed through my head.

If Enlil had come a little later, she might have seen Leon going mad.

“Ah, if that’s the case….”

What happened at the Tower. It was Enlil who explained in as much detail as possible about her transformation of Mana’s technique in her own way.

“That’s why the tower’s mana is different from here. I did not know how it would affect the mana seniority method, so I modified it to suit the situation inside.”

“Yes. Uh, maybe… If you are offended by my arbitrary transformation, I apologize.”

“Another strange noise. What’s wrong with changing it to a way that suits you? I’m not that narrow-minded. Did you ever see it that way in your eyes?”

Then quickly Enlil shook her head saying no.

Of course you should. If he had been narrow-minded, I wouldn’t have let him live.

“Anyway, it’s late to transform like that.”

“It took a while. I failed a few times, and again, the mana flowed back and I almost suffered internal injuries like the last time.”

“But how did you control it?”

“I had mana saved until the very last moment. I made it through somehow.”

I haven’t taught you that yet. Did you know how to get there?

As expected, his prediction was correct. That this woman in front of her is her only hope.

Rion thought so and patted Enlil on the back as if he was proud.

“By the way, wait a minute. Judge.”

“Hmm?”

“You said you were surprised, wasn’t she at the academy? She said she went on vacation.”

Ah. Holy sh*t. Damn snout. This is why you shouldn’t make fun of it.

Looking at the tone he said now, it seems that he personally saw that Seria came first.

She said that she had work to do at the academy and that she had gone somewhere.

“I was on vacation. For personal reasons. But that and this and why?”

“What you said made it seem like you were right next to me watching everything.”

“When she heard the story, she was surprised. Lets think. You said you went in first and came out later, isn’t it natural to be surprised that something might have happened?”

“Uh…. That, right?”

Never panic or slur your words. You have to react boldly.

As if you were saying that you are making a mistake in an odd part, not me.

“Coming to think of it, it seems to be enough. Even thinking about it, I would have been surprised to hear the story itself. Because it’s never been like this before. There was no hero who went to that room other than me.”

That’s right. I knew it was you at first, so I was in a mood.

Then, he thought that Enlil was dead, so he half-killed Seria.

I heard that Seria is still in her hospital bed, probably because of the injury.

It wasn’t just broken, it was a blow that the owner of the tower energized me.

Thanks to this, I need to save myself even more.

The blow to Seria was stronger than the blow to Enlil.

If you even notice the energy she sensed at that time, you will be very tired.

‘I should be more careful.’

While Leon made a promise, he made another promise.

“….”

Enlil was staring at Leon standing next to him.

That too, with very twinkling eyes, to the point of being burdensome.

“Why. Anything else to say?”

“No. Just… I think the instructor is right.”

“There was nothing wrong with what I said to you. Which one of them felt right?”

To that question Enlil gave an answer with a slight smile.

“To survive. I guess it’s possible because I’m alive.”

The moment I heard Enlil’s answer, I suddenly remembered what Chief Instructor Edmund said.

Don’t have personal feelings. That would be very difficult.

At the time, I thought it was nonsense, but seeing it this way, it was not a cause for concern.

If he had been an instructor rather than the owner of the tower, it would have happened.

And she wondered if this woman would ever come back alive She would have kept her heart racing every time.

When he suddenly felt a strange energy, Leon quickly shook it off.

“I’m glad I realized it even now. It’s all bullsh*t about dying with honor. It’s the worst excuse given to losers. If you really want to achieve something, you have to survive and finally reach it. What do you yearn for right now, Enlil?”

“… Master of the tower. To destroy its existence.”

“Okay. I’m just looking at that goal. You are living for it now. Focus on that goal. Even if there are obstacles in the way that even you didn’t expect.”

If you could hide it forever, nothing would be better.

But I can’t. Because she’s not the only one who changes.

‘No.’

Leon secretly touched his arm and let out a drool.

It seems that Enlil himself is unaware of it, but her attack came in right.

She sat leisurely, as she always did, and almost gave up one of her arms.

She won’t be able to sit on the throne any longer. To that extent, Enlil grew.

And as much as she has grown, the number of injuries engraved on her own body will also increase.

She’s fine now because she’s a light sword, but the higher the level, the harder it will be to hide.

If that moment approaches, what should I say to escape the situation?

Rion sighed at the future, which has not yet arrived, but will surely arrive someday.
