I Possessed The Villain’s Childhood Friend

34 – Catastrophe – 3

“Ask me.”

My whole body naturally trembled at the death that seemed to pierce my whole body.

I was the only one standing in this practice field.

I couldn’t move.

The moment I move even one step, the other people who are down will die in an instant.

“Do you know where Heros’ informant and Black Wolf belong?”

What I was worried about happened.

I thought it would be twisted somewhere, but I never thought this man would move.

You can never win.

Even with all my knowledge of the original, it was impossible to defeat this man at this point.

The final chapter of the original work.

The episode where the head-to-head confrontation with Avatar began did not give much expectations in the beginning.

I couldn’t help it.

Because Sophia’s forces were too strong.

Saint Sophia.

The crown prince, the greatest genius in the history of the empire.

Helen got the job of a knight even though she was a student.

Atal, candidate for the next pope.

Advanced articles, etc.

There will be hardships, but at best it’s only that much.

Win smoothly and the work will be over.

This was the opinion of the majority of readers.

How can they lose with this level of power?

No one, including myself, has been able to come up with the correct answer.

Only one person. Except for the writer.

However, Sophia and the prince are completely defeated from the first fight with the Avatar executives.

They were driven to the brink of death, and all three knights were able to escape by sacrificing themselves.

And that opponent is Rex.

In the original work, he was a man called the worst disaster.

“If you know where you belong, how do you know?”

It was from the second half of this year that Avatar started working properly in the original work.

It is set that even Avatar existed hundreds of years ago, but she did not have the power to collide head-on with the Empire, so she has been secretly working until now.

In other words, it was impossible to recognize the existence of Avatar in this world.

Of course, it’s true that I attacked Avatar’s gang members, and I can definitely investigate that part.

I thought that the Avatar boss I knew wouldn’t take any action.

It would be dangerous for them to reveal Avatar to the Empire at this time.

But does that mean they put my existence in more danger than that?

“Tell me the truth.”

How should I answer?

That’s what he says, but if I ever mention the name of Avatar, he will kill me without hesitation.

“… I don’t know what that means.”

“I see.”

At my reply, Rex immediately moved.

In an instant, he stood in front of me and swung his giant sword without hesitation.

“Keuugh!”

“I hope that is true.”

I evaded the attack by a narrow margin and then stepped back.

There was no option to fight in close quarters.

All I had to do was hold out as long as I could and wait for reinforcements.

Rex’s attack was as strong and powerful as a raging sword.

It was difficult to block or evade the attack.

If I had lost my concentration even a little bit, I would have already collapsed.

“You hold up better than I thought.”

There was a little admiration in his voice.

“I understand why the black wolf died.”

How much time has passed?

When will the replacement reinforcements come?

There is a limit to enduring alone like this.

Above all, my head was dizzy from the bleeding caused by the numerous cuts.

“Let me ask you one last time. Do you know where they belong?”

“I don’t know.”

“I’m sorry.”

The moment the disaster is about to move again.

“Gravity.”

“Hmm?”

As a calm voice resounded, Rex’s body shrank.

Turning his head in the direction of the voice, there was Rayna reaching out her right hand to Rex.

“Light, bless all who follow you!”

Then a resonant voice followed.

The owner of that light magic was Sophia.

★

“… Miss Pia. Miss Sophia.”

“Mmm.”

When I opened my eyes, I saw a deep blue sky.

I could feel the unpleasant smell of blood in my mouth.

“… Miss Reina?”

It was Miss Reina waking me up by shaking my shoulder.

Always a cold and lofty atmosphere, she was in a disheveled state that anyone could see now.

“You are sober. Are you feeling well?”

“Yes. I think it’s okay.”

Fortunately, there was little to no difficulty in moving my body.

But.

“Raina-sama? Her left arm….”

“Me too. I can endure it.”

Remembered.

When the monster’s magic attacked me, the figure of her who threw her body to protect me.

In return, Miss Reina had a long scar on her left arm.

The way her blood was flowing was not normal.

But Miss Reina gave me a light smile to reassure me even as her arms trembled.

It was the first time I had seen her smile.

She must have been the one who reprimanded me, but somehow she didn’t feel the same fear as usual.

Rather at tea parties. It was the same atmosphere as when he apologized to me and left.

“Where are the others?”

Me and Ms. Reina were behind the target board in the attribute magic practice range.

There were no other people around.

“I couldn’t use my strength, so moving Miss Sophia was the limit.”

“Ah. Sin, sorry.”

“Why apologize? No, that’s not it.”

Miss Reina slightly frowned at her, but she soon relaxed her expression.

“Can you help me for a minute?”

“Yes?”

“Right now, Prince Ike is responding to the assailant alone. No matter how you look at it, the opponent is an opponent that cannot be defeated alone. You will need help.”

Turn her head slightly to look outside the bull’s-eye.

“Keuugh!”

As Miss Reina said, I saw Prince Ike, who was avoiding the monster’s attack alone.

Prince Ike’s breath was rough, and his uniform was dyed red.

Even to me, who is new to fighting, he was pushed to his limits.

“What can I do?”

I couldn’t leave someone who was struggling like that alone while we were all down.

When I looked at Miss Reina and asked, she opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at me.

“Reina-sama?”

“Oh, yes. First of all, thank you.”

Ms. Reina calmly began to share her thoughts.

“… Even if we do this, I don’t think things will change much.”

“But that means we can buy as much time as possible until reinforcements arrive, right?”

“Yes.”

Miss Reina slowly rose from her seat, and she pointed her right hand at the assailant.

“Ms. Sophia. This may sound strange, but can we have a tea party next time just the two of us?”

She didn’t look me in the eye when she said that.

However, I thought that her blushing face, which I could tell even from the side, was somehow cute.

“Of course.”

“… Thank you.”

Even though he must have been uncomfortable and scared until now.

“What.”

His body movements became dull enough that Rex could tell for sure.

Perhaps it was the influence of Reina’s chanted magic.

On the contrary, my accumulated fatigue was relieved and my wounds began to heal.

‘Light, bless all those who follow you!’

Sophia’s special magic that she just chanted. It was the influence of ‘Bless’.

It is a light-attribute D-class magic that relieves the target’s fatigue and heals wounds.

“b*tches.”

“Continue. Frost.”

“Light, spread the barrier!”

The two continued her magic, ignoring Rex’s angry words.

Raina’s magic is Frost, a class C water attribute magic that slows her body down by freezing enemies.

Sofia was a D-class magic light shield that shields the target.

I was able to figure out what the two intended.

Raina tightens Rex’s movements as much as possible.

Sophia helps me to avoid fatal injuries.

Because they had already been thoroughly broken in a head-to-head match, they also understood the power gap with the opponent.

That’s why it uses gnawing auxiliary magic to wait until reinforcements arrive.

It was certainly a plausible tactic.

However, even this level won’t be able to completely stop that man who is called a disaster.

“That’s annoying.”

Rex approached me slowly, step by step.

But his movements have already slowed considerably.

Exactly fast, but not to the point of being overwhelming.

The moment you read Rex’s movements and think about the next move.

“I brought the professors!”

I heard a voice saying that reinforcements had finally arrived.

“… Your guys You are lucky.”

Rex slowly drew back the sword and ran back.

The ice holding his body shattered and scattered.

“Are you going to miss it?!”

Raina tried to hold on to Rex a little longer.

“Shut up, b*tch. If it wasn’t for his order, all of you guys would have died.”

With those words, he left in an instant.

It must have been affected by the barriers installed in Arcana and Reina’s magic, but it was an unbelievably fast movement.

Perhaps he wasn’t lying.

“Is everyone okay?!”

With the voice of Dean Ender coming from afar.

“… Lived.”

I was relieved and sat down in my seat.

★

“That’s strange.”

An empty alleyway.

Rex was alone looking down at his palm.

He intended to kill Ike Axus today.

Even if that meant he was pursued by the Empire and unable to return to Avatar, he had no intention of changing his mind.

It wasn’t all power, and time was drawn to Ike’s better-than-expected skills, but it was by no means impossible.

But.

“The girl must have used C-class magic.”

It must have been, but Rex couldn’t move properly after being enchanted by Reina.

Rex, who had felt even the arcana’s barriers stiff, felt the pressure of only C-class magic.

It was a different level of power from the professor’s magic he had dealt with for the first time.

So he had no choice but to retreat.

He had a hunch that if he dragged on there for more time, he would get caught without accomplishing anything.

“Reina Rogelia.”

The eldest daughter of the Roselia family, served by the traitor.

I should definitely remember her name as an enemy.

Rex said quietly.
