35 – Retreat (11)

In a world frozen as if time had stopped, Adele stood up.

The body that had been punctured in Nikita’s crystal was filled with new flesh, and other than the torn clothes and hardened blood, it was impossible to recognize that this was a man who had been living and dying until just a moment ago.

For some reason, the accident couldn’t catch up with him, so he pressed his palm against Lucy’s head, who was staring blankly at him.

“I had a hard time. Rest.”

Bewildered by his unexpected and unimaginable behavior, Lucy felt for the area where Adele’s hand had pressed her head.

He was about to say that, but when I saw his face bathed in sunlight, it felt like the words he was about to come out went by themselves.

I don’t know why.

Just looking at him made him feel like he could be left alone.

Feeling an unknown warmth, Lucy sat down and watched Nikita’s back as he walked towards him.

“After all, it hasn’t changed.”

At Adele’s words, Nikita’s eyebrows twitched.

It wasn’t because he came back to life, it was because I was certain that the person who once killed his family and blamed himself was right in front of me.

That arrogant look and arrogant behavior.

A person who treats himself as a criminal who has no crimes and exterminates himself for an absurd reason.

I don’t know what happened to her, but it was clear that the Adele in front of her was the Adele she knew.

“That is what I would rather say.”

Nikita tried to make her decision, but she didn’t get her way.

All the soil and sand she drew out to create her crystals were frozen and she couldn’t control them according to her will.

“Are you still trying to find fault with me, who is innocent?”

“Innocent?”

Adele laughed at her words.

I don’t even have to be ridiculous.

“Are you saying that you and your family, who took the organs and blood of the kidnapper and sold them to her witch, are truly innocent?”

“… ….”

“Doesn’t stop there, how about the cannibalism of the four-year-old parents and servants in Sylvester Mansion?”

In spite of her detailed explanation, Nikita didn’t respond that she had been hit in the right way, instead she tilted her head in puzzlement.

“What the hell is wrong?”

That wasn’t flirting.

She truly did not recognize what was wrong with such behavior.

Her distorted common sense, which does not change over time, even Adele, who has gone through all of her prenatal struggles, wielded her tongue.

“People eat the meat of animals and eat their intestines. She even puts her alive in a liquor bottle and drenches her in it. Where is the difference from that, so that this is wrong?”

Adele narrowed her eyes to the expression of Lucy, who was sitting behind her.

She blinked as if she was shocked by Nikita’s thoughts and her crimes, which she couldn’t follow with her own common sense.

She

“Became. Don’t make fun of that mouth any more.”

Wheeining─

A biting wind blew on the ridge.

The ice-mixed air swirled and gathered in Adele’s grasp, and it soon formed transparent ice with a clatter, clatter.

Its form is a sword.

Adele raised the tip of the sword at Nikita and said.

“I will not kill you. There are many things that need to be blown up in four years in many ways.”

“Won’t you kill me?”

At his one-sided declaration, Nikita lowered his head and glared at him.

As if he had become a beast, he showed his teeth and giggled.

Isn’t that so?

To think that the guy who was dying before he couldn’t even move was making noise as if he had seized control over his life and death.

“Honestly, I was surprised that you interfered with the formation of my decisions, but anyway, you are my body——”

She was in the middle of her talk.

Adele, who was holding a sword in one hand without taking any stance, spurted the ground, and the frozen ground bounced upside down and his figure disappeared from sight.

Kwajik!

Perception by sight is faster than pain.

“What…… ?”

Nikita realized the situation when she saw her arm spinning in front of her eyes and the drops of blood scattered in the air.

“Put it on. Would it be possible with the current four years?”

The voice came from the back.

Nikita glared at him, snatched his arm spinning in the air, and laid it against his cleanly cut shoulder.

Kuruk, guruk.

Then, bubbles of blood bubbled up, and the newly sprouted muscles and flesh tied the severed arm and shoulder like threads.

That’s the ability to regenerate the body you got by selling your soul to a witch.

With this and superhuman physical abilities, there’s no way Adele can beat her…….

Sususu──

The sword Adele was holding drew an arc.

What Nikita saw was that single swing, but her body was drawn with lines like a checkerboard, dripping with blood.

“…… !”

Fuhuaaak!

As soon as she realized that, blood fountains spurted from her whole body.

Red drops of blood spread across the white frost floor.

An unseen attack that only guesses what happened as a result, not the process.

Embarrassment flared up on Nikita’s face, who had been confident just a moment ago.

“Don’t panic.”

Adele, on the other hand, swung her sword and brushed off her blood, then trudged toward her.

Nikita backed away, pressing her hand over the bleeding wound on her back.

“Don’t run away.”

One step, one step.

The appearance of Adele getting closer.

Her cold gaze looking down at her.

“Isn’t that what you guys have been doing all along?”

A shadow fell on Nikita’s face before she knew it.

As she hurriedly backed away, her hasty feet eventually got tangled and landed on her buttocks, and Adele stabbed her with a sword expressionlessly in her stomach.

Nikita let out a short moan and a grimace in her pain.

“Isn’t it your logic to say that since you killed a person, it is only natural that you be killed?”

Nikita sat down on her ground and clenched her fists.

The frozen, frosty ground crumbled with a crunch, the dirt slipping through her fingers.

Those eyes.

Again, those eyes looking down at me made me miserable.

It was humiliating enough to break my teeth to know that even though I had gained this much strength, the same situation was repeated again.

“Shut up… ….”

Nikita’s anger consumed her fear.

Her emotions overshadowed her reason, pushing her back to cross a line she hadn’t crossed as a human being.

Cried Nikita, her shoulders trembling, looking up at Adele with her bloodshot eyes.

“Shut up!”

Quad Deed Deuk——!

At that moment, Nikita’s body changed.

With a grotesque sound like bones grinding, bones all over the body were shattering, reassembling, and occasionally protruding out of the skin.

“I am different from back then. I am not suffering from you anymore.”

It has goat horns and devil horns on its head, and its eyes are dyed red.

The skeleton itself has changed to the extent that it cannot be recognized as a person, and its magical power is incomparably stronger than before.

Food Deuk!

Because of her ominous magic, all the birds spread across this vast island took off at once.

The sound of students and monsters fighting all over the place stopped for a while, and it seemed that the sound had disappeared from the world.

All of this was achieved only by Nikita revealing her true self, giving up being human and accepting the witch’s blood injected into her body.

“…… Ah.”

Lucy, who was still watching her, could tell.

That’s a real monster.

They said that even if one or two professors called as support came, they would be killed without any help.

However.

“Is it different?”

Even at that moment when everyone was overwhelmed, Adele still had the same face.

As if she knew this would happen, as if she didn’t mind it.

Turb.

The sound of Adele’s footsteps dispelled her heavy stillness.

“No, it’s the same.”

As he raised his sword, his presence overpowered Nikita’s and caught Lucy’s eye.

“You still get dumped, you can’t beat me.”

The next line.

A single line drawn by a sword swung slowly, like water flowing.

At the place where the line passed, the space shook as if there was a haze.

For a moment, a line was drawn between the earth and the sky, as if to divide the world into two.

“You will lose to me again.”

The line passed through Nikita’s disfigured neck.

Nikita’s neck was severely torn as the space rushed in like water filled up again in the place where the ship had passed in the distorted space.

“After.”

Adele, who violently grabbed Nikita’s falling head by the hair, trudged over to Lucy, whose mouth was only open.

As I squatted down to meet eye level with Lucy, who was kneeling, Lucy asked.

“You…… Adele, right?”

On the outside, Adele definitely has a different atmosphere.

It was different from Adele who bullied her, and it was different from Adele who suddenly changed.

If I had to argue, it was closer to the latter, but should I say it was a little more mature and calm than that?

“Then what do I look like?”

Adele replied and held out Nikita’s severed head.

From noble mtl dot com

Seeing that horrible appearance, Lucy said, “Gee.” He let out a short scream and freaked out.

Lucy held out both of his hands and shook them as if telling him to put them away.

“What, what! Why are you giving me this!”

“I can’t freeze this because I’m out of magic now. If you leave it alone, it will stick again, will it be okay?”

“What, what… ….”

You’re still alive after that kind of attack?

It was a completely unbelievable story, but Lucy poured her magical energy into it thinking that she was prepared just in case.

I didn’t feel comfortable just freezing it, so I didn’t stop with just one, I froze it twice.

“All right, all right?”

Lucy asked and looked up at Adele.

“… ….”

In that moment, he was sprawled on the floor with his eyes closed.
