It Is Fate To Be Loved by the Villains

28. Purifier (2)

●

◎ Lesser Recovery Potion x2

[ Item: Consumables ]

[ Price: 1,000pt ] x2

[ Minor injuries can be recovered. ]

[ Remaining points: 0pt ]

[ !warning! ]

[The ‘Purifier’ boss battle is in progress. Recovery is slowed by the demonic energy emitted by the opponent. ]

It’s filthy expensive for such a low-level subject.

Although, in Sera’s view of the world, potions are such a rare item. At least, the fact that the effect wasn’t very good just because it was during a boss battle was over the line.

In fact, even though the remaining points were stripped and purchased, the pain from a few twisted joints was only slightly reduced.

However, even now it is desperately needed.

“…”

I grit my teeth and dodge the attack flying toward me.

All of the ‘Chapter Bosses’ in Sera’s world have their own unique characteristics.

It means that it has a lot of utility that you can’t find in normal opponents.

And that’s why Marquis Riverback is called the Purifier.

-!

The demonic energy emitted by Marquis Riverback collided with the shield spread near Elnor’s body, and it bounced off with a groaning sound.

A protective shield based on the remains of an adult. It was the object that had previously protected me and Elnor from a falling train accident.

〚Oh, no!〛

However, even such a huge boulder and the shield that bounced off casually were completely shattered and scattered around by the Marquis Riverback’s attack that flew back.

Yes, this is this guy’s ability.

Whether it is an opponent’s defense or attack, it must ‘erase’ some of the original performance.

As if purifying.

“…Oh, damn it.”

Anyway, this is a bit harsh.

Even so, it’s not a shield that can be broken so easily. It is clear that the powers it originally had were strengthened as it was strengthened as a demon.

[ A crisis situation is detected. ]

[ It is judged as a level that poses a direct threat to life. ]

[Skill: Applies Desperation to EX grade. ]

[ !warning! ]

[Check the existence of the opponent’s unique skill ‘Purification’. ]

[Skill: The grade of desperate is downgraded and applied to C grade. ]

Even this right now.

EX-class reinforcement and C-level reinforcement are roughly the difference between a person who can knock out a future hero in one shot and a person who just trains hard on a regular basis.

It sounds like a heavenly difference!

I screamed inwardly and rolled to the side. It’s such a violent act to do with a seriously injured body, it’s to the point where you’re sick of it.

[The proficiency of ‘Attribute: Breathing – Bucho’ has increased! ]

The reason I’m holding on is thanks to the trait I received from Elnor not too long ago. If it wasn’t for this, I wouldn’t even think of moving my body like this by now.

My hair stood up at the sight of a black beam of light passing through the spot where I was.

It’s just a light attack, but a huge crater is created with the sound of a missile exploding.

This, after all, is like that guy’s basic attack.

‘Is the difficulty really a joke…!’

While thinking about that, he gives instructions at the right time with his mouth.

“Elnor, left!”

Elnor entered the gap created while attacking me.

The tip of the sword is sharp. It is a human blow that even Elijah, who is called a talent that reached the sky, is described as feeling the wall.

And, even though it was an unstoppable attack that landed at such a sharp timing.

[under!=

It is suppressed as if it were very natural.

The shockwave generated by the Marquis Riverback simply ‘squirting out’ the demonic spirit, Elnor was bounced off and rolled next to me.

This one doesn’t look too good either.

The future final boss is now on the defensive.

Dusty and muddy. The one-piece dress she wore was drenched in blood due to injuries sustained throughout her body.

It is an image that could not be imagined for this person who always showed only a perfect and far-fetched appearance based on the original work standard.

Looking at the clock, it was only a minute since the battle started.

With just that much, we are on the verge of losing everything, even our fund.

To Marquis Riverback, who is lightly driving us without showing his true intentions.

‘The strategy is right in my memory.’

As Elnorr grabs me and throws himself at the follow-up attack, I think about it with a dizzy head.

The timing is right. The methodology is also correct. All the chances to attack the Marquis Riverback came from the timing and route that I remember.

However.

The method is correct, but the ‘capacity’ to carry it out is lacking.

The demon’s body itself is a monster that can break rocks and fly through the air. Even the monsters, whose intellect has deteriorated and all abilities are driven by physical abilities, can’t even give a business card.

Even if you damage it, it will quickly recover with the magic energy supplied from the essence.

“…”

not good. The situation is worst.

In this battle, I need Elnor at the same time. I can’t take a direct hit because of his neutralization, and Elnor doesn’t know how to ‘fight’ him.

Because I know all of his patterns and attack methods. It’s hard to attack without my instructions.

〚Come and fight, you worms! Don’t just run away! 〛

The Marquis of Riverback shouted that and flew over here, but he will continue to do so for the time being.

‘First of all, the important thing is to bring this guy out of the barrier.’

It would be a big deal if the barrier was damaged by the blind Magi while fighting over there.

If I were Marquis Riverback, I would prioritize breaking the barrier no matter who interfered with it, but this guy is still a bunch of vanity and arrogance.

First of all, it is a story that he will prioritize getting revenge on me and Elnor, who just put him in a corner.

In addition, under the influence of the demonic energy emitted from the essence, that tendency must have become more severe.

Right now, it’s not the usual dignified respectful words, but the use of short words with a lot of temper. It means that my usual rational judgment is getting blurred due to my mentalization.

It’s even more so when you think of the usual self-styled concept even after death.

so what’s the story

It’s a good story to fall into a trap.

“…We have to bring them all the way to the academy.”

I whisper that to Elnor, who carries me like a burden.

Due to the Full Moon Festival and the state of emergency there, the outskirts of Elfante will be empty now.

The dean, the president, and now everyone must be concentrating on the inner city. I can’t expect any support, but that also means I can do something on the inside without having to worry about collateral damage.

My goal is also concentrated there.

With that thought in mind, repeat the routine you’ve done so far.

A little hurt, give me what I have to give. dragging time

It’s just a matter of continuing to attract him like that, and giving him a shot as he thinks.

Even so, I am enduring somehow despite my lack of specs.

Do the same this time.

I dodged his attacks on me, diverted Elnor to pierce one attack, and evaded maneuvers to mitigate the subsequent damage as much as possible-

〚…By the way.〛

In the middle of the workshop, let those words flow out.

A feeling that something is wrong runs up your spine.

First of all, it is not the voice full of rage from earlier, but the fact that it is the voice when this guy is maintaining his reason.

this guy

Up until now, I was just ‘pretending’ to be attracted to me.

〚Do I look stupid in your eyes? To the point where I don’t even notice that you’re trying to pull me out so obvious?

Saying that, Marquis Riverback’s chest fluttered. The darkness inside begins to stir.

It’s as if the Magi that had been spewing out towards us until now was just scattering the leftovers while collecting them.

And as soon as I see it, my body stiffens with a stronger sense of crisis than ever before in my entire life.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Just like I hid the ‘goal number’ from this guy and continued the workshop.

This guy also hid something and responded to me!

〚Because if you leave it alone, you’re a person who will make up anything. 〛

Then, from the chest of Marquis Riverback who said so.

It was evening, and a sticky darkness scattered as if all the slightest light, which was clearly visible even in the dark surroundings, bounced off.

[Certainly, it should be dealt with.]

next.

The soaring ‘curtain of darkness’ descends on me.

[ Activate Soul Linker. ]

[ Receives magic power. ]

[Use the skill ‘Penance’. ]

[Use the skill ‘Divine Shield’. ]

That was the last thing I remember.

●

What is the first thing you feel when your consciousness returns?

Pain that rips through the whole body.

“…!”

I opened my mouth, but not even a scream came out.

It’s like having electrodes inserted directly into your brain. Convulsions occur all over my body without my knowledge.

“… Cool…!”

He coughed out bloody sputum and examined his body.

His left arm was completely crushed.

The lower half and the upper body are completely scratched, torn, and torn. Its body was covered with lumps of stone, glass fragments, and tree branches that looked hideous.

My whole body is in tatters.

how am i alive now

It must be an injury to think like that.

“…”

I try to force myself up.

“…Ah, billion…!”

eyes are stained red

whole body trembles

A sensation that I have never experienced in my life sparks from the nerves of my whole body.

“…”

I gasped for breath as I fell to the floor again.

It is completely impossible to move at this point.

“…Fuck.”

While muttering disgust, he supported himself with his only healthy right arm.

First of all, he drags Ultrima, who is caught in the edge of his field of vision, with his right arm.

At the very last moment of the end, if I hadn’t created a shield with this, I would probably have died.

Magi is particularly vulnerable to divinity. It’s because it’s good compatibility, so it reduced the power beyond the original performance.

“…Are you kidding me, really.”

In the meantime, the sight of laughter was caught in my field of vision.

The academy building is located not too far away.

Considering the location where I and Elnor confronted the Marquis of Riverback, I flew over hundreds of meters and landed with just one hit.

Seriously, I’m glad I didn’t die in one shot.

〚Did you survive that?〛

Seeing such a voice coming from close by, it seems that I am not so lucky.

When I barely twisted my body, Marquis Riverback was walking toward me from a short distance away.

Even over the body that was stained with demonic energy, it was clearly visible that he was laughing clearly.

〚It’s much more persistent than I thought. The Precursor should like it too.〛

After saying that, he put his hand in front of my face.

〚Looks like you’ve exhausted all your cards this time.〛

Then, demonic energy formed on the palm of his hand.

〚To be honest, you were a great opponent. If you meet a friend in hell, would you like to brag about it?”

“…”

There is no way out.

The downgraded desperate situation can’t withstand that. Even if you go up to the EX level, you can’t even move if your body is at this point.

Still, one thing remains, though.

-!

-!!!

The sword cut through the air and hit the nape of Marquis Riverback’s neck.

It was a blow of terrifying force that could cut through even steel, but it slightly invaded Marquis Riverback’s body and was soon bounced back.

The wound that I had was healed right away.

However, thanks to that, the attack that was trying to fly at me was canceled.

〚…The pair are tenacious, really. I hope they will be a good couple.〛

While he grumbled like that, Elnor, who struck the Marquis Riverback, quickly approached me, retrieving his sword.

“Fine…”

Elnor, who was about to say something, looked at me and kept his mouth shut.

What appeared on his face was a deep sadness.

“…The condition is terrible, but each other is normal.”

He laughs hard at that look and returns the words.

Not as much as me, but Elnor also doesn’t have any healthy parts all over his body.

Broken ribs and arms. There were terrible cuts on her legs as well, but she tore the dress and patched it up so she could barely move.

It was a serious injury that seemed like a burden to stand on, let alone continue the battle.

Even so, being able to move somehow is superhuman mental strength, nothing more or less.

But what are you worried about me for?

My nose must be stone.

“…”

He looked at me without saying a word, then took off the necklace he was wearing and threw it at me.

When I snatched it with my right arm, a new window appeared in front of me.

[The ‘Necklace of Vitality’ is equipped. ]

[ Durability and stamina increase slightly. ]

“It will help you a little to keep your body steady. make it move.”

“…Yes?”

“Didn’t you say that you had to bring it all the way to the inside of the academy? Marquis Riverback kept saying that he would use the ‘plan’ to keep me alive. There is no need to take my life right now.”

“…”

“Move to the target location first. The distance isn’t far, so I’ll take my time.”

“…Elnor.”

“I believe in you. to the end.”

As I stared at Elnor, lost for words, Elnor smiled.

Today, when the Full Moon Festival begins.

It was the same expression as the shy smile he had as he held my hand.

“…Since we’ve only received it so far, isn’t it time to give it back?”

“…”

I’ve never done anything to deserve this kind of appreciation from this person.

It was all just a struggle to get out of the situation.

By the way, this person.

〚Are the strategy meetings over?〛

Marquis Riverback, who was looking at me with a fishy smile, opened his mouth with his arms folded.

The attitude that you have already won, so you can do whatever you want.

It looks like a lump of pride and vanity, but this time, it’s not a wrong move either. In fact, Elnor and I are already almost incapacitated.

However, Elnor did not pay any attention to that and stood in front of me and confronted the Marquis of Riverback.

“I’ll ask you one thing, Marquis Riverback.”

〚What is it?〛

“To what extent are me and this man like a pair?”

[…Yes?=

“This is an important question, so answer it straight.”

The Marquis of Riverback looked at Elnor for a moment, lost in words, then continued with a laugh as if he was dumbfounded.

〚It’s a match made in heaven, to say the least. If you survive here, you will make a living, right?”

“That’s a good answer. I can put a little circumstances in my hand.”

At the same time as Elnor smiled and raised his sword, demonic energy surged from the Marquis of Riverback.

“Dawud, shop!”

I couldn’t speak any longer.

It’s a burden that I have to be here.

I turn my back on Elnor and walk towards the academy building.

“…Huh, heo-euk…”

With his stamina, which is still garbage, he even suffered injuries that are unspeakable.

With every step you take, you feel as if your entire body is being stabbed with an iron skewer heated over a fire. My entire vision flickers, and my body constantly sinks to the floor against my will.

grit your teeth and hold on

Even at this time, there are people who are enduring more pain than me.

Step on the wall of the building and move forward as if crawling. I want to rest even a little bit, but I feel like I’ll never get up again, so I keep moving my body forward.

So, let’s crawl for a few minutes.

finally seen

the outer walls of the academy.

“…”

have you arrived

Hold on to the wall and barely stand up. Due to the riots in the city, there are no regular guards. Can’t even count on help.

We’re struggling to get to the doorway and get in.

-!!

on the wall next to it.

someone’s body was impaled

“…”

It’s Elnor.

It was a level of injury that could not be expressed even at the level of a man-in-the-middle.

If it wasn’t for the completely tattered dress, it was in such a terrible state that I couldn’t even recognize who it was originally.

〚I ate some. Even if I broke all my limbs, I crawled over and held onto my ankles. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s terrible.〛

“…”

〚So, what are your plans now? Do you have anything else hidden?〛

Marquis Riverback knelt in front of me who couldn’t even control his body and met his gaze.

What hangs over my face is a smile that still seems to be mocking me.

I turned my gaze and looked towards Elnor.

When I met my eyes there, Elnor, who was barely breathing, looked back at me with difficulty.

It’s a gaze that seems to say I’m sorry.

‘…no.’

You did a good job.

Because otherwise I couldn’t have come this far.

〚Are there any more?〛

“…”

〚This is boring.〛

Having said that, Marquis Riverback reached out his hand.

Magi gather there.

“…!”

Elnor, who is stuck in the wall, wriggles to move his body somehow. However, it is all futile. It’s already a state where breathing is the limit.

-!

A black ray penetrated my chest.

my death is confirmed

A shallow scream escaped from Elnor’s mouth.

〚I came all the way here to see if there was anything hidden… nothing special.〛

Through the slowly disappearing vision, I hear those words.

“…”

A smile forms on your lips.

There’s nothing hidden.

“…hey.”

Even as my body collapsed, I glared at him with all my might.

“I won.”

From the moment I set foot in this guy ‘inside’ the academy.

This is where my goal number begins.

[…Yes?=

I can hear the voice of Marquis Riverback saying that I don’t know what this madman is.

Through the flickering eyes, I could see something ‘condensing’ in Elnor’s body as she screamed at me.

and.

[Skill: Fatal attraction is activated. ]

Beyond the consciousness that is about to be cut off, I see the window where those letters came up.

okay. Nice to meet you.

To be honest, I really didn’t want to meet you, but the situation is such that I had no choice but to say hello.

[Target ̶̘͛͑̊C̵̡̹̖̙̭͖̃͋̏̆̓̐͘̚̚͝͠͠͠͝͠ ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° °

with such a message.

The world turned to gray.
