chapter 207
207 – Final Battle (15)
– Kugung…!
I thought the rooftop would shake slightly, but the slightly closed iron door was completely torn off.
“…..?”
Seeing that sight, my other self turns my gaze towards him, and soon his gaze begins to turn cold.
“…Boring, boring faces.”
Diamond, Miracle Shine, Mystic Shine.
Her colleagues, who had been fighting with the mutated Lumia downstairs, were up on the rooftop covered in her blood.
‘…Everyone has a lot of scars.’
Although it was weakened, the mutant’s abilities seemed to be quite powerful. No one was in good health.
“…What about Ariel?”
“The student is resting downstairs!”
“I didn’t want to drag a fainted child in. That kid who’s good at computers? He’s taking care of him, so he’ll be fine.”
But Ariel was nowhere to be seen, so she asked a question, and the answers came back all at once.
‘…That might be better.’
I was a little uneasy about losing Ariel’s level of power, but when I thought about it again, it might have been better.
She woke up again and asked her where her sister had gone, and now she wasn’t very confident in giving her proper explanation of the situation.
And if possible, she did not want to lose as much as she did.
“But… That guy. I’ve seen this face a lot somewhere.”
“It’s not a face you’ve seen a lot, is it? What is that?”
“…………”
With that in mind, as she quietly tried to move her motionless body, she heard disconcerting voices coming from behind her.
“…Everyone must have heard the phone call earlier.”
“You want me to believe that?”
“I didn’t even understand properly…”
“I didn’t understand it properly either, but one thing became clear…”
Mystic Shine, who had begun to sort out the voices, quietly glared at me, who was standing in front, and muttered.
“Who is the enemy we must defeat now…”
“Yes?”
“…The murderous spirit that was always radiating from the deepest part of the laboratory is now coming out of that guy.”
Mystic Shine’s expression as she said that was colder than usual.
“…Was he the one who bullied you?”
“Hmm… It’s definitely not a clear aura. It’s an aura that gives me chills just by looking at it.”
When her colleagues chimed in with those words, my eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly.
“It’s annoying…”
Soon, a voice came out of his mouth, as if he were literally seeing flying insects.
– Crack, clap, clap…
“It doesn’t feel very good to be treated like that…”
After hearing those words, Mr. Diamond showed an expression of displeasure and began to walk forward.
– Turp, plod..
“”……..””
And then, the two magical girls begin to follow in silence.
“Everyone… That guy… Can’t attack you right now…”
“Hmm?”
“That guy… Can’t properly… Interfere in this world…”
I left a message to them in a hushed voice.
“…I must have said it several times.”
“Ugh!?”
“Ahhh…”
At that very moment, my cold voice echoed across the rooftop.
At the same time, Narae and I began to stand up, staggering uncontrollably.
“I should have clearly said that I can fully control things that do not belong to this dimension…”
“Wait a minute, no way…”
“…Damn.”
“And your heart and body… Are already fused with the body parts of the outside being.”
At that point, I realized that it was okay, so I broke into a cold sweat and tried to use my abilities to resist.
“aaah!!!”
Within just a few seconds, a terrible headache began to spread throughout my body.
“No matter how much my power of domination has been awakened… Did you think you would be able to resist my ability of domination, which has also been awakened and has been cultivated for eons?”
“Ah, ugh… Ugh…”
“Strong sky!!”
“…Be quiet and listen to orders.”
I had no choice but to kneel down, feeling like my brain was burning.
“Everyone… I’m fine…”
In the same way, he clutched his burning heart and raised his voice in a gasping voice.
“…Please.”
But I soon stopped speaking due to the unimaginable pain.
‘In the end… Is this what happens?’
I started muttering to myself as I looked with blurry eyes at Kkyoreuk, whose heart had begun to spread out in all directions in a more grotesque form than usual, and Narae, who had lowered her head and started to emit a cold aura.
‘…In the end, will you end up in conflict with those you thought were your colleagues?’
“Damn… This would be a different story.”
“Uh, what should I do? Senpai? I’m too strong to simply suppress…!”
‘In the end… Until the end…’
Does he have to be a villain? I am?
.
.
.
.
.
How much time has passed since then?
“Hey, over there.”
“Ugh…”
“Over there!”
“…Huh, huh?”
Ariel, who was lying downstairs as if dead, opens her eyes in surprise when she hears someone calling.
“Huh…?”
And then, she blankly begins to look at her opponent in front of her for a moment.
“…Student council president?”
“Oh, are you a student at the academy?”
“Why, why are you here? You?
Then, Ariel found Himari standing in front of her with a pale face, and her eyes widened and asked her a question in return.
“Well, I… Called…”
However, it was not Himari who answered that question, but the ‘real Pandora’ who was quietly watching next to her.
“Uh, for some reason we lost contact… I thought things were not going well up there… I was going to ask for support…”
“But?”
“Well, the only contact information on my smartphone is the student record contact number…”
“So you just called the student council president?”
“hehehe, hehehe… I’m sorry. But…”
At that time, Ariel looked dumbfounded for a moment at her hikikomori-like answer.
“Where is Kang Ha-neul?”
“…Huh?”
“Sky, where is the sky? Sky!”
Himari grabs Ariel’s shoulder and urgently begins to search for Kang Haneul’s whereabouts.
“Uh… That’s… So…”
Ariel’s face finally came to her senses after hearing those words and was recalling what had just happened.
“Ah…!”
Soon, he begins to turn pale like Himari.
“No!!!!”
“”……..!?””
Soon, Ariel stumbles out of her seat with trembling legs and starts running towards the stairs.
“Please, please just stay alive…!!”
Himari, who had been staring blankly at her back for a moment as she disappeared at incredible speed, maximizing her abilities, soon began to stagger up her stairs.
“…What on earth happened?”
.
.
.
.
.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok…”
Ariel Everray reached the rooftop in an instant, panting and catching her breath, with her strength stretched to its limit.
“…..Ah?”
She looks blank for a moment at the situation unfolding before her eyes.
“Young man… Why on earth…”
“Huh, well…”
Diamond, who was holding Narae’s back with one completely rotted hand and pressing it to the floor, was bleeding after being struck by the tentacles extended by Kang Ha-neul instead of the two magical girls.
“Isn’t it more reasonable for an old person to die… Rather than a young person to die…?”
“…Grandpa.”
“Uh, over there? Uh huh…”
Mystic Shine looked at such a situation with a pale face, and Miracle Shine had a bewildered expression on his face as if he had no idea it would happen.
“I… Made a promise to the Chairman. Even if it means risking my life… I will protect Noah.”
“…….”
“So… Don’t feel too guilty…”
Looking at them, Diamond mutters in a voice that gradually becomes quieter.
“…Reinforcements just arrived.”
“…….!”
“It wasn’t a useless sacrifice… It was a good thing…”
Then, he noticed Ariel, who came into his field of vision and was emitting red sparks from her entire body, and smiled.
“Student… Please take care of the person in the back…”
He cannot finish his sentence and quietly lowers his head.
Nevertheless, her grip on the sky and the air of her river remained the same even after all signs of life disappeared.
“Oh my…”
A voice that was familiar to Ariel, yet somehow foreign, was heard during the brief stalemate that resulted.
“This is the appearance of the world’s puppet protagonist.”
“…….!”
Ariel’s body instinctively began to stiffen when she finally discovered the cold voice that came from behind, just like Diamond’s last words.
“…But the protagonist who doesn’t even have enough attempts left can’t stop me.”
Not the Kang Ha-neul who is clutching his heart, but the ‘other Kang Ha-neul’ who is looking at him from behind with a hateful expression.
“…Is that you?”
Even for Ariel, who had no idea what happened after fainting, he was emitting such a terrifying aura that he was able to figure out its identity.
“The culprit?”
.
.
.
.
.
“Well, what should I do…?”
Meanwhile, at that time, Himari was just about to reach the top floor.
“…Go down.”
“Yes?”
“I’ve called the heroes… Go and be protected…”
“Thank you!”
She was climbing the stairs with a nervous expression on her face, but the real Pandora, who was following behind her with a timid expression on her face, answered her question and sent her down. Her fists begin to clench.
‘No matter what happens… This time…’
“Ahhh… Ugh…”
‘…….!?’
With that in mind, Himari went up to the top floor, but her expression soon hardened.
“He, he… No way…”
“Ugh…. Ugh…”
This was because Minamoto Noah, who turned out to be her younger brother, who had strangled her not long ago, was holding her eyes and trembling.
“Hey, over there…”
Even though she did it while under the influence of Isea, she perfectly remembered what she had done to her, so it was natural for Himari’s mind to turn blank.
“So… Uh…”
With that, she approached her half-sister, who was flinching and holding her eyes with a helpless expression on her face.
“….Ha, ha, ha.”
Pandora raised her head at her pretense of popularity and began to stare at Himari, who was frozen in front of her, for a moment.
> I have a favor to ask.
“Boo, please?”
> You still hate me, right?
Himari eventually turned to her and began to write her writing with her trembling hands using the blood that had been splattered on her floor.
“aaah, no…! At that time, that was…!”
> With all that hate in mind… There is one thing that needs to be done.
She, who had reacted violently to those words, closed her mouth after reading the next sentence.
> Pluck out my eyes.
That was because the request was truly unexpected.
> And… Go up and make up for it.
“…Huh?”
> Because this is your last chance to atone.
