Volume 6 Chapter 28 The Churning Abnormality
Currently, Tsukiko doesn't know if this time could really be called training.
"Haa, haa..."
Lying on the floor, her lungs struggled to catch their breath.
And what she did until now was simple. She just fought relentlessly.
At first, it was just a practice match, but in the latter half, she intended to defeat her seriously. Tsukiko used magic and swung her spear at Sharla.
The result was obvious when Tsukiko collapsing and Sharla looking down at her without a single breath out of place.
Tsukiko had misunderstood from the previous battles with Finn and Vice that she is the type who uses powerful magic from the rear.
She was wrong.
It was a completely terrible misunderstanding.
Without magic, Sharla was overwhelmingly superior. She overpowered her with pure sword and martial arts, overpowering both magic and the spear.
"If you can solve the wire puzzle while fighting me, that would be considered a pass in manipulating magic power. If you can land a single blow on me, that would be a passing grade in combat skills."
"Haa..."
What ridiculous conditions. Despite giving it her all and not even grazing her, she wants her to solve the wire puzzle while fighting her.
She can't do it, it's impossible. But those words got stuck in her throat and instead, different words came out.
"I understand."
Even Sharla without magic is this strong. How strong is Yuusuke that she cannot reach?
If there is even a faint way to reach there, she will cling to it with all her might.
Now, Tsukiko closed her eyes as if escaping from the brightness of the fluorescent lights.
* * *
In the grand hall of "Kouya Castle," the corpses of the Nue that Yuusuke had defeated were lying there. As Yuusuke predicted, they were not living creatures.
At the same time, they were different from what they called "Mystery."
If they were genuine Mystery, they would have disappeared as soon as Yuusuke's sword struck their vital points. Therefore, it is strange that the corpses remained.
In front of the goal called Shikin, Yuusuke and the others overlooked this and moved ahead. If Tsukiko, who is knowledgeable about Mystery, were here, or perhaps if Kanami with the "Shayka Eyes" were here, they might have noticed.
The flesh starts to wriggle and crawl.
The beheaded Nue covers another Nue and wriggles. Such eerie movements are happening in various places and gradually converging to one place.
Resentful.
Wanting to kill.
Frustrating.
Fear.
The sound of silent resentment resonated, shaking the atmosphere, and the lantern's flame flickered.
Illuminated by dim light, a dark and massive body rose.
A special contrivance was applied to this Nue. A revenge driven by obsession and resentment.
It is a special technique that converts hatred into power.
Ideally, it should have rushed to Yuusuke and the others who were deep inside. However, the Nue did not do so.
The lord of this castle is there. If they were to interrupt without understanding the situation, they would be killed immediately.
Even if that were not the case, Nue cannot defeat that knight. Even while consumed by resentment, clear fear and hierarchy were engraved within the Nue. Just the thought of the flashing silver sword makes their legs go weak.
They might be able to distract momentarily, but that is the limit.
However, that won't work. Their grudge won't be resolved that way.
So, the Nue thought and decided.
They remembered the scent that the knight had. If they goes there, the knight must have something important.
If that is destroyed, no matter how strong they may be, they will despair. They will lament.
The Nue had a deep smile on their new head and kicked the floor.
They aim for the city where humans live. The homes where the girls await their return.
With this aim, the madness of a beast deviating from the expectations of war raced, tearing through the earth.
