I Became a Framed Villain

199 – Final Battle (9)

“Gooooo!”

“This is crazy…”

As the attack of a terrible monster whose shape I can’t even recognize passes right by, I start to feel chills all over my body.

‘…Can we win?’

That momentary question shakes my mind.

The guy in front of me was giving off such a terrifying aura.

‘…Let’s calm down.’

In such a situation, I try to take a deep breath and concentrate.

It doesn’t look like a living thing at all, but he’s also a monster. It is a being close to a magical beast.

In that case, my ‘dominance’ ability will work anyway.

“Ugh…”

With that thought in mind, I started to demonstrate my abilities, but it seems I was mistaken.

“Wow…”

As I try to dominate that horrible guy in front of me, a severe feeling of nausea and headache comes upon me.

Is it because he has already lost his temper and is running wild?

Or maybe they kept my abilities in check from the beginning and took some action.

Anyway, it is impossible to dominate that guy. If I continue, I won’t be able to hold on.

“Are you doing this because of that guy?”

As I was staggering around holding my head, I heard the voice of the concept of death next to me.

“Shall I get rid of it?”

Yes, the power of the concept of death might work.

No matter what it is, as long as it is alive and moving, it cannot avoid death.

“Yes, okay.”

As I nodded with that thought in mind, the concept of death that answered began to walk towards him.

I want to tell you to be careful, but now that I think about it, I guess it’s okay since he doesn’t die anyway.

“Keueeek!”

“…Ugh.”

But, despite such thoughts, the concept of death that had reached out to him frowned and sat down.

‘The ability… Doesn’t work?’

Why? If it were a living thing, it would definitely die as long as it was touched by her hand.

Not even the concepts of humility or kindness could escape her power.

Why is that monster still unharmed even when she touches it?

“Those guys… They look like they’re already dead…”

“…What?”

Such doubts were resolved by the mutterings of Lumia, who was slightly sweating.

“There’s no sign of him… Even though he was touched by the concept of death, he was still fine…”

“But… Is that possible?”

“In a world where people are turned into weapons and extraordinary abilities are rampant, there is nothing impossible.”

“…Hmm.”

At first, I thought it would be difficult, but after listening to what she said, it doesn’t seem like it’s really impossible.

But if that’s true, how on earth should we deal with him?

A being that cannot be controlled or killed.

Isn’t this the same as our perfect counter ability?

“If this happens, there is only one answer.”

As she was quietly chewing her lips, Lumia, who had been quietly glaring at him next to her, began to rummage around in her arms.

“All you have to do is make a mess until it no longer moves.”

Eventually, she muttered as she took out her gauntlets with a red light circling in her arms.

“That’s…”

“Didn’t you save it for times like this?”

“…….”

“I’m going to die soon anyway, so I have to use this at least.”

I was trying to stop her without thinking, but I was left speechless by Lumia’s firm words.

Why? Still, in her head, she felt like she had to stop her.

– Purge support…

Lumia, already wearing gauntlets on her arms, was approaching the monster, gathering her red sparks.

“Wait a minute…”

I looked at her blankly for a moment, but then she stretched out her hand and tried to grab her.

“I guess I am…”

– Gooooo…

“…….!?”

Suddenly, I began to feel a terrifying presence behind me, so I had no choice but to stop my actions for a moment.

“What…”

I finally turned around and saw the main character in sight and opened my eyes.

“Get out of the way!!!!!”

“Ariel?”

This was because Ariel, whose entire body was already covered in sparks identical to those emitted by Lumia, came up the stairs and stood, radiating her deadly force.

.

“Well, I should have told you to wait…”

“Stop!!!”

Such a remark came out of the mouth of Kang Ha-neul, who was embarrassed that her plan would go awry due to his sudden appearance, but Ariel, who ignored Kang Haneul, raised her voice and passed by her.

– Wow…

“Oh?”

Then, she grabbed Lumia’s back and threw her behind her.

“…Huh?”

Thanks to this, Rumia was sent back to the river in the blink of an eye, and she made a dumbfounded expression as she was held in his arms.

– Kugwagwagwagwang…!

And the next moment, a shock wave began to spread in all directions, enough to shake the building.

“Cough…”

Ariel, who had taken the brunt of the monster’s attack with bloodshot eyes in her eyes that had lost the light, slightly vomited blood and staggered.

“Over there…”

“Don’t come!!!”

When Rumia, who had been staring at her silently for a moment, tried to take her steps forward again, Ariel screamed for some reason.

“Stay still!!!”

“Grrr…”

“…Pfft!”

She was shouting with an expression that made her look desperate, but she frowned as she struggled to take the onslaught of attacks from the monster again.

“……..”

And then Rumia looked at that with her anxious eyes.

“Are you just going to watch?”

“Ah.”

“Let me help you.”

As she whispered in a low voice, Kang Haneul, who had a dazed expression on her face, finally came to her senses.

“Kkekeuk…”

Soon, he urgently stretched out his hand and tried to call Kkeoreuk.

“…Damn.”

Because Ariel and the monster were so close together, we had no choice but to stop midway.

“I can’t help it…!”

Because of this, Kang Ha-neul begins to run towards Ariel with his teeth clenched in order to close the distance.

“No! Don’t come!”

“…This is not a guy you can deal with alone!”

Immediately, Ariel hurriedly raised her voice, but her river Sky did not retreat and increased her speed.

“That’s right!”

“……Ah.”

But, it was already too late.

– Kkukdeudeudeudeuk…!

“Big…”

“Ariel!!!”

This was because the attack of a monster that had mutated so grotesquely that it could no longer be called a monster exploded on Ariel’s side.

“Ugh…”

Thanks to that, Ariel sat down in her seat, biting her lip and glaring at the monster standing in front of her.

“…….”

Soon, as her monster’s grotesquely extended arms rushed towards her, Ariel closed her eyes tightly and prepared for her next episode.

– Kkrrr…!

“Ugh…”

The quickly extended body wrapped around Ariel and pulled her behind, so she was barely able to avoid her body being crushed.

“Are you crazy?”

“……..”

“Then what will you do if you die?”

The sky of the river, which held her in its arms, pulled her with her cry, scolded Ariel with her pale face.

“I don’t mind dying.”

“What?”

However, Ariel muttered with an expression on her face that did not change even though she was fatally wounded in her side.

“…Not yet.”

But her eyes soon waver slightly.

[Caution!]

[This is an episode with restrictions on retrying.]

[Number of regressions remaining: 13]

This was because the system message floating between her river sky and her was glowing red as if warning.

“I… I’ll try my best. As always…”

“Hey…”

“So… You…”

But even so, she staggered and came down into the arms of the river sky.

“…Don’t come forward.”

“Wait!!!”

Then she grits her teeth and begins to rush at the monster in front of her again.

“…………”

And Lumia looked at that with a distorted expression unlike usual.

“…Is this already the 87th time?”

Surprisingly, she was able to perceive repetition differently than before, and muttered as she glanced at the place where her system had been thinking just moments ago.

“The 100th… Was the last, right?”

She quietly clenched her fist, which was wearing her gauntlets.

“…Anyway, he’s a child who can’t be stopped.”

.

.

[Number of regressions remaining: 12]

[Number of regressions remaining: 11]

[Number of regressions remaining: 10]

Ariel was the one who boasted that she would solve the problem, but the number of possible regressions for her was rapidly decreasing.

[Number of regressions remaining: 9]

[Number of regressions remaining: 8]

[Number of regressions remaining: 7]

She didn’t use up all of her power, and there were times when she even took the people next to her, but the result was always the same.

“It can’t go on like this…”

Murder. Ariel’s expression became more and more anxious at the end that did not change no matter how much she twisted her body.

[Number of regressions remaining: 5]

[Number of regressions remaining: 4]

[Number of regressions remaining: 3]

The number of regressions, which had already dropped to one digit, was gradually coming to an end.

[Number of regressions remaining: 2]

[Number of regressions remaining: 1]

And finally, the moment Ariel had tried so hard to deny came.

[Number of regressions remaining: 0]

“…Ah.”

When Ariel, who lost her life after a fierce battle, opens her eyes again on the first floor, her system window, which was glowing red, coldly informs her of the fact.

“……..”

Thanks to this, Ariel looked blankly at the number 0 with a pale expression for a moment.

“Ugh…”

“Hey, where are you going?”

“What is it?”

But that lasted only a moment as she gritted her teeth again and started running up the stairs with all her might.

‘At least… I need to reduce my stamina…’

Trying to ignore the tears welling up in her eyes, she trusted her own body, which had become somewhat accustomed to her guy’s attacks during the 100 repetitions.

‘Then… Those two…’

With only that thought in mind, Ariel once again took a step forward.

“Get out of the way!!!!!”

Then, for what was probably her 100th day, she started screaming and running towards the monster.

“Wait a minute.”

“……!?”

For some reason, Rumia suddenly grabs her arm and stops her.

“…Well, what is it?”

Ariel widened her eyes in surprise, as this was something that had never happened before in the past.

“You have always been ahead of your body since the beginning.”

Rumia muttered while looking at her like that, and then she smiled slightly awkwardly.

“Well, it was the same for me too…”

Ariel stared at her blankly, at a loss for words as she continued to speak.

“…So let’s fight together.”

“Ugh.”

The tears she had been holding back for so long began to flow from her eyes.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

It was because only then did the doubts I harbored through repetition become certainty.

.

.

.

.

.

“…What is it?”

As I was quietly looking at Ariel, who had burst into tears, Haneul, who had been holding her monster in check by pulling out her whimper, slightly turned her head and asked her a question.

“What’s going on?”

“…….”

But, without saying a word, I passed Ariel and started heading towards him.

I felt like if I spoke up now, I would sound weak without realizing it.

– Purge support…

I just drew sparks to my gauntlets and walked toward the creepy-looking monster.

– Sigh…

Soon, with a nonchalant expression, he stopped next to Haneul and extended his hand forward.

“Huh?”

To be exact, it was the skill window he was looking for an opportunity to use earlier.

[Checking permissions…]

Well, like the original, it was originally mine. I don’t mind if I borrow it for a while.

[Use is authorized, Justia.]

Is that right, Sky?
