Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

34 – Retreat (10)

Qu-gwa-gwa-gwa!

Like a landslide, a rush of gravel-mixed soil engulfed everything on the slope.

Trees broke because they couldn’t stand it, and heavy rocks rolled down the slope mixed with the pile of dirt.

At some point, the mound of dirt that had the momentum to sweep everything away split apart.

On both sides like the sea where Moses met.

At the center of it, stood Adele.

“… ….”

How long has it been since you fought Nikita?

How long will it take for Lucy to come back?

Since when did I stop thinking like that.

“Whoa.”

From noble mtl dot com

Like a beggar, her hair has been messed up for a long time, and her body is covered in dust from rolling on the ground several times.

Occasionally a crystal falling from the sky brushed against it, and new blood flowed over the blood that flowed from the straight wound and hardened black.

“Even if you have a ring, is it too much?”

The magic power in her body was consumed in an instant, and the magical power she used with the ring was on the verge of running out.

The body is a mess, and the enemy is healthy.

It was a hopeless situation indeed.

“You far exceed my expectations, Adele Heights.”

Nikita looked a little tired.

She is still standing next to the same number of decisions as when we first met, just me…… I just enjoy watching Adele suffer.

I replied, brushing my bloody hair.

“You are as I expected.”

It is indeed the boss-like strength that appears in the middle of the episode.

If it wasn’t for Adele, who is also the middle boss, she would have been beaten and stretched like Kyle in the first place without being able to hold on this long.

“But they didn’t manage to escape. Have you ever thought about paying for your sins? No, it’s not like that because they don’t treat you lightly.”

Nikita was walking towards me with countless crystals aimed at me.

She tried to open the distance, but she couldn’t.

‘When did it break?’

Her ankle was tattered.

She turned in a direction she shouldn’t have gone back.

Plus, her thighs are bleeding profusely.

The feeling of blood draining in real time makes my body weak.

“… ….”

Damn it.

When I saw her blood flowing, she suddenly felt dizzy.

A wound I wasn’t aware of was supposed to kill me secretly, but as long as my brain recognized it, it was dangerous to move any further than that, and sent a warning to my body.

“You won’t be able to move anymore, will you?”

The guy got closer and closer, and before he knew it, he was within reach if he stretched out his hand.

The crystals next to me flew in and secured my wrists and ankles like handcuffs, and even the remaining freedom was taken away from my body, which was still not moving as it should.

“hahahaha.”

The eyes that were burning with anger bent into half-moon shapes.

Then she burst into a riot of light enough to bring tears to her eyes, laughing in front of me for a long time.

Like a broken radio, laughing, laughing, and laughing again and again.

“Ha ha ha…… Under…… Ha… ….”

The guy suddenly burst into tears.

The dried soil was darkly stained by the dripping tears.

Perhaps the shed tears were the miasma that filled her eyes, but the bloodshot eyes were empty.

“It’s futile.”

Nikita looked up at the sky and sighed.

“The moment I can kill you, my life that has lost the power to live on.”

And now, perhaps thinking of ending it, I put my emotions in order and raised my hand with an expressionless face.

“Do you have any last words?”

“… ….”

Is there any other way?

While he was laughing, crying, and lamenting, he searched for a way to live, but nothing came to mind right away.

If I had known this would happen, I would not have let Lucy go.

If that was the case, there would have been a possibility.

“But, it’s strange.”

Although he was facing death, he was strangely calm.

In addition, a scene like this shouldn’t have existed in an affair, but for some reason, I felt a sense of déjà vu as if I had seen it before.

For some reason, I was certain that I would not die.

“You talk nonsense. Did he go crazy before he died?”

And with Nikita’s last words, the moment the crystals floated in the sky were about to fall.

Tadadadadak.

I heard urgent footsteps in the distance.

I only turned my head in the direction of the sound.

The hair blowing in the dry wind was a familiar azure color.

I ran so hurriedly that my whole body was covered in sweat like a dog wet in the rain, and my clothes were clinging to my body with sweat.

That look overlapped with what I would see when running to rescue Kyle who was in danger one day, so I laughed without knowing.

“This is really strange. There’s no way Lucy jumped up with that expression because of Adele.”

After those words, I couldn’t keep my mind intact.

Crystals that fell from the sky stuck in my head, pierced my shoulder, and literally turned me into a hedgehog.

In the mind that is so far away,

“Adele———!”

All I could hear was Lucy’s voice calling out to me.

* * *

“Hey… ….”

Rushing back, Lucy passed by Nikita, who was just standing there like a scarecrow, and looked at Adele, who had been pierced with crystals all over her body and collapsed.

“What can I do?”

No matter how good his condition is, it would be better if he didn’t die right away.

Unknown water was flowing from his head, and the body with holes like beehives could see the pool of blood on the other side.

I didn’t even know where to start.

This was a state where death should be regarded as certain.

“What can I do… ….”

Lucy knelt down beside the fallen Adele and, not knowing what to do, repeated the words.

“When you get hurt…… What do you do when you get hurt?”

Lucy recalled the time she was hurt and tried to find the answer.

Like Adele, who once helped her, she has no knowledge of what to do with her injuries.

Like a saint, she doesn’t have the ability to heal patients in an instant, so all she can do now is wait for the help she has called for.

“… ….”

Looking back, it was Adele who helped her recently when she was hurt.

She herself received help from him many times, but she couldn’t help herself when she needed to, and there was nothing she could do even in front of him who was dying.

Lucy chewed her lips.

Her skin was ripped off her, and drops of blood rose from her lips.

Then.

Pair!

She slapped herself on the cheek enough to make a loud noise, then muttered with her cheeks turning red.

“Stupid. So you’re not doing anything?”

That was a whiplash against himself.

Although he is a villain who has been tormenting himself and Kyle…… A whip to save the now unknown Adele, who had helped her several times.

I wouldn’t be sad if he died, but I couldn’t understand a death like this.

He.

Adele.

He must live and apologize to himself.

And, he himself has to repay the help he received.

I didn’t intend to let him die because I still have unpaid debts.

“Let’s freeze it.”

Lucy made the choice.

They said Adele couldn’t be alive until support arrived, so let’s freeze him to prolong his life even a little bit.

Whether it’s porridge or rice, shouldn’t he try a method that can be used?

“To save?”

Nikita asked, almost bringing Adele to half-death.

Lucy didn’t answer and quietly activated her talent and concentrated her magical energy.

The blood that flowed from her punctured body froze in an instant, and it was so cold that frost landed on her hair.

“It’s too much.”

Ignore it or not, said Nikita.

“Unless the saintess appears here, we cannot save him.”

However, the saintess is not here.

Even if she is on this island, she will not appear here.

There’s no way her escort knights will bring her back to her where there is a threat she has yet to rule out.

So Adele’s tenacious life would end soon.

Thump…… Thud… ….

And just as Nikita said, Adele’s heartbeat was getting weaker and weaker.

The blood that had been pouring out in tears stopped flowing, as if it had run out, and the moment Adele’s feeble breathing stopped.

Thump…… Thud… ….

The heart that had almost stopped beating again.

It was different from Lucy’s intention to freeze her before dying, but for some reason, Adele was moving away from his death.

It was an instant from there.

Lucy’s mana, which had been pouring in to freeze Adele, swirled and began to be absorbed into his body, and blood returned to his pale face.

“What?”

Nikita involuntarily groaned at the unbelievable sight of the spark of life she had extinguished reviving.

This was impossible.

It was impossible without a miracle caused by the power of the saintess.

No, that’s not what’s important.

The important thing now is not how he is surviving, but that he is alive.

Nikita raised her hand to kill him again.

Crystals formed from sand and soil and appearing in the air with a squeaking sound.

“A little faster than I remember.”

At that moment, a low-pitched voice filled with blood rang out.

Adele, who was certain that she would die at the same time, suddenly opened her eyes.

Whewyyyyy… ….

The moment he opened his eyes, the temperature around him dropped dramatically.

As I drew in the air to breathe, I felt the pain of freezing my lungs, and it felt as if the blood flowing through my body had turned to ice.

“Nice job, Lucy.”

Break, blah blah.

Nikita blows a hastily made decision to pierce him with Lucy.

Break, blah blah.

I’m trying to blow it through…….

From noble mtl dot com

The crystal didn’t move according to her will, as if something was holding it.

Nikata, embarrassed, looked behind her.

And I saw it.

Crystals trapped in ice formed by freezing moisture in the air.

A spectacle stained white as if frost had landed on everything as far as the eye could see.

Moreover, a world where even the clouds drifting by the wind are frozen and time seems to have stopped.

What was contained in her pupils was blue and white, reminiscent of ice, from beginning to end.

“Thanks to you, I lived ‘again’.”

When Adele said that, for some reason, the atmosphere was different from before.
