chapter 25
25 – [1] Escape
#025
“uh… … ?”
When I lowered my head, two magic circles appeared.
A trump card that Lich managed to make while 1,000 of them were beating mercilessly.
As soon as I pulled my head a little more inward, the posture itself began to collapse.
As he fell backwards, the sight he saw was his legs neatly separated from his body.
A situation where the magic protruding from the magic circle cut off the knee.
The thousand horses fell backwards with a moan close to despair.
“Hey, heck… … .”
As an Awakener, Shock was spared.
I had to fight somehow.
He struggled to turn his body over with both hands.
However, what returned was the expression of the head skeleton, which seemed to be very angry.
The lich cast a quick spell and kicked her.
Was it magic?
With only one kick, a thousand flew far back and crashed into the wall.
It wasn’t even simply slammed into it, it was slammed into it so strongly that the wall caved in.
I hurriedly called a thousand, but what came back was blood and silence flowing from my body.
He threw his dagger at the lich.
Richie looked back one beat slowly, perhaps realizing that I was approaching.
It was a chance.
It swung like it would strike one of the most vulnerable parts of a person’s body.
The neck was cut in half.
I had to cut it all off, but I didn’t have enough mana.
f*cked.
He hurriedly tried to pull out the dagger, but he couldn’t pull it out due to lack of strength.
There was a moment when I thought that stepping back was the answer.
Richie grabbed my wrist and twisted his miserable face even more.
After a while, he moved his chin with a crackling sound and put his hand on my chest.
Feeling similar to what Im Hana did.
“Such a dog… … .”
It wasn’t a false prediction.
Immediately there was a massive shock to the chest and I flew far back.
After landing on the floor and rolling several times, it stopped.
Tragically, he hadn’t fainted or died even then.
My mind was so clear.
I didn’t even feel pain from morphine, so I couldn’t tell what condition I was in.
However, judging from the sound of air escaping from his mouth, it was clear that he was seriously injured.
[Life: 💔]
[Shield: ─]
No, maybe it’s a serious injury, but it’s also a serious injury.
Seeing that the hunter watch with one square remaining flickers, it might be real.
“Huuu… … .”
How many broken ribs do you have?
How damaged are your lungs?
There will be no cardiac arrest or shock, right?
Will you hold on to the blood that keeps pouring out of your mouth?
I got up again amidst many questions and worries.
The lich was aiming sharp stones at me.
As the end approached, I felt like I had missed everything.
Or maybe there was as little hope as a thousand birds risking their lives to return.
“ah… … .”
What does this mean that you only dated one wrong friend?
Even a thousand are because of me. What the hell is this like?
How can those who keep faith and righteousness fall to the bottom, and those who violate them rise high?
Is this really correct?
No, aside from being right, did he deserve it?
“Come on, you will be punished.”
I’m only a middle school student, so this is too serious to take into consideration.
It’s evil that he did this even though he was old enough to have a brain.
It’s something I’m tired of thinking about today, but no matter how hard I try to forget it, it keeps coming back to me.
In the end, it was the moment when the order returned to going out and taking revenge.
“But how?”
Will he be able to defeat the lich in front of him?
Can you beat the lich and survive through the gate?
However, this situation was not the only problem.

Luckily, there was a problem even when they escaped from here.
Will he be able to take revenge on Im Hana?
In this world that is a strange assemblage of modern and future, reality and fantasy?
Even before his death, he had many meetings.
The more I searched for the answer, the more one thing became clear.
It was that only if you survive here, you can discuss the next thing.
It would be better to do something than to die from being pierced through the body like this.
I clenched my fists and stared straight ahead.
Then, a black longsword rolling on the floor caught my eye.
It was the last method.
It is also the only resistance.
He rushed without a second thought.
A lot of stones flew towards me.
I squeezed the senses that I believed were not supernatural powers to the limit.
A feeling of great fatigue and the feeling of vomiting surged up.
It seemed suicidal, but it wasn’t worth it.
It was because I could see not only the movement of the stone, but also the movement of each piece of dust.
At this point, when everything was enormous, seeing an attack was a privilege like salvation.
There was even a sense of speeding up the movement, so it could be said to be an absolute right beyond privilege.
Step by step, I avoided the stones that drew a chaotic trajectory.
But it wasn’t just about avoiding it.
Even if the path changed, it didn’t change that he was heading for the sword that fell on the floor.
It was when it finally arrived.
Tung!
Kick the sword with your foot and lift it up.
received by hand.
I don’t know how.
I was just in a hurry and desperate, so I just did it on my own.
I grabbed the sword with both hands and continued on my way.
Glancing to the side, the remaining time was about 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Everything will be over in 30 seconds.
Either I die or the boss dies.
Of course, the boss had to die, not me.
That’s why I tried to scrape together the depleted mana somehow.
“Damn it, please, please!”
No matter how much 0 is added, 0.
However, there will be some recovery in a short time, so I should be able to squeeze out about 0.01.
It could have been just that.
He needed at least a little magical energy to effectively destroy the shield and strike.
Even if the shield had been cut off by a thousand horses, it was a lich with a high possibility of recovering a little.
It was much better to have at least some magic power.
“Really a little bit!”
Stepping on warm blood, exhaling as if it were going to burn, raking in all the senses in the body, and moving the body as if it were about to die.
As if twisted, it abnormally raised its magic power.
It seemed like a futile act, but to my surprise, my mana recovered a little.
This is it.
Even though it was not up to the level of an Auror, it put magic into the sword.
I dodged the attack with all my might and got right in front of me.

Lich cast a spell on his palm as if surprised.
“Where!”
Everything was visible from casting to completion.
Avoiding the hand that was being pushed out, he cut it off in reverse.
“Aagh!”
Richie, who seemed to have no vocal cords, uttered the first word.
Fortunately, contrary to concerns, the recovery of the shield did not seem to work properly.
Thinking of this as an opportunity, I swung my sword additionally.
It was lacking and miserable, but I just needed to be able to cut it anyway.
He constantly avoided the magic falling from the sky.
I continued to create lines that would get me out of this place.
I resisted, but there was no salvation for the boss without a shield.

Limbs were severed, leaving only the head and body.
“Die!”
It was the last.
Read from noble mtl dot com
Last but not least, he raised his mana to the limit.
Suffering as if the whole body was being crushed.
It will be worth the patience.
Obviously it will.
It immediately cut Richie’s spine.
My upper body leaned over and the rest of my upper body began to fall to the side.
“Once more!!!”
before reaching the bottom completely.
Even his neck was cut off, leaving no room for survival.
My head rolled across the floor like a ball.
As an undead, he expected that there would be a follow-up, but the light in his eyes dimmed and then slowly faded.
The same was true of the magic circles in the sky.
or just disappear
Drop the contents and disappear.
As the mana evaporated, everything came to an end.
When even the final magic circle disappeared, the power in his body was released.
As if he would collapse right away, as if he would collapse from exhaustion, as if he would pass out in the name of physical recovery.
“yet… … no… … !”
before the body tilts.
I succeeded in enduring it by using the sword as a staff.
2 minutes.
120 seconds at most.
My job now is not to take a break.
I had to somehow get everything into the gate in the middle.
He breathed out as if he was going to explode because he couldn’t burn up, and he moved one step at a time.
It felt like his muscles and tendons had gone out, but he forcibly raised his strength through tension.
I put the bag that the thousand had put down, which was closest to me, into the gate first.
The second time, he threw the ankles of a thousand sheep at the gate.
For the third time, he dragged the bloodied Thousand Horse to the gate.
“f*ck… … Why is a middle school girl so heavy… … !”
175cm is just a height, and it was quite difficult to move it because the whole below the knee was cut off.
After wrestling, I managed to get it into the gate and looked around to see if I had forgotten anything.
Then the head skeleton of a lich rolling around in the corner caught my eye.
Still, since I caught it, I thought it would be better to take this even if it was hard on the body.
I took the skull and looked at the scroll attached to the pillar.
With 12 seconds remaining, I hurriedly entered the gate.
The place we arrived at was a common labyrinth.
It wasn’t that different from the ruins.
This place, which is ambiguous even to be left as a memory, will soon disappear as long as the boss is gone.
“Even if it’s only for 10 minutes… … it will be… … .”
Of course, it wasn’t right now, so I was relieved.
I checked the condition of the thousand horses while enduring the peculiar smell of the old place.
It was closed, but bad things could happen if I left it like this.
He took the elixir from his bag and poured it over the amputated surface, then took a bandage from his bag and wrapped it around his leg.
He also tried to treat the wound caused by the sharp stone, but unusually, it had healed to some extent.
Perhaps it was because he was a regressor, but he seemed to have special privileges or a peculiar constitution.
Feeling envious, I roughly treated my wounds with the remaining amount.
I think I’ll finally be able to breathe, but it’s still hard to rest.
“Cough, Cough!”
If I stayed like this, I could die from erosion.
I had to move slowly.
I tucked her amputated leg in my bag and hung the lich skull from my waist belt.
Just in case, I tied the bodies of a thousand animals and myself with ropes.
Eventually, I grabbed him by the armpit and dragged him to the exit gate.
As we moved beyond the wet waves, a clear sky appeared.
When I lowered my head, the view of the world from the top of the mountain was revealed.
It even changed from dusty air to fresh air, and it seemed that my stress melted away.
Where the snow is up to the knees.
Finally, it was out.
I smiled dryly and slowly looked around.
It seemed that the storm had cleared the world.
There was a village and a station not far away.
The feeling of being alive poured out.
Damn Im Hana couldn’t kill me.
The damn extreme environment didn’t kill me.
The damn boss couldn’t kill me.
It was all thanks to the help of one person.
A schoolgirl, a hidden boss, a regressor, a bitch, and a friend—
“… … .”
Anyway, with the help of a thousand horses, he was able to survive.
I decided to put down my prejudice against her a little more.
“Whoa… … See, the town is over there. If we go here, we can arrive in about an hour.”
Is it because I feel better while being marinated in painkillers?
My body felt exceptionally light.
It might be thinking too positively, but I hummed happily because it would be better than the negative.
I smiled broadly and confidently stepped out into the gentle snowfield.
slippery-
“Eh.”
I slipped and descended from the top of the mountain.

Like a worm.

A snow storm in the evening forced the Missing Persons Investigation Team back.
The next morning, even though the outsiders had disappeared, the town’s scenery changed quickly.
According to the government’s policy, the elves’ daily life began to change about 50 years ago.
Humans who immigrated here from about 50 years ago worked according to the newly created daily life.
Among them, there was also a family where the two daily lives were mixed.
Everything was normal and there was nothing particularly angular about it.
But not everyone was like that.
A man walked terribly on the white road.
It looks like it should be reported right away.
It did not attract the attention of many people and focused it.
The villagers were astonished at the man’s appearance and hesitated about what to do.
On the other hand, even in the midst of this, the person walked the road calmly.
The place where I arrived while meeting numerous eyes was the train station that connects the village and the outside.
And there was a station attendant on duty from early in the morning.
The man trembled and approached.
The station attendant, unaware of anything, turned his head slightly at the sound of footsteps.
and it froze
The point at which it ended was when a person approached right in front of me.
“here… … Going to the snow scene… … hehehe.”
“Hee, hee!”
Two students covered in blood.
A station attendant in the countryside in the middle of the day saw an unforgettable sight.
“Station manager!!! I’m the station manager!!! no! Does anyone have a doctor!!!”
Kang Xian, a thousand horses.
Rescue in 62 hours.
