Chapter 47 (Facing the Beast)
A crowd of blue goblins surrounded me.
The chains which appeared from the dimensional hole restricts blue goblins on the front row.
Because the movement of blue goblins on the front row suddenly stopped, the blue goblins on the back seem to be perplexed.
Among them, some tried to tear the chains using their ax arm.
"Iー, pierce through the prisoners of the thousands of chains, I, the black spear of greed that punishes the criminal, the ninth forbidden spell second stage, release !"
I chant the incantation in a hurry while readying my sword toward the blue goblins, I break into running.
I breaking through the front row after the black spear pierce them, while lowering my posture forward.
In such posture, I swung my sword in a a half-moon shape.
The throats of blue goblin before my eyes is split open.
"... go, ga... !"
Nextーー.
I immediately draw my sword and shake it a little, then swung it diagonally against the next blue goblin.
"Gu... ga... !"
Like that, I've killed two of them.
The blue goblins who were in wait-and-see state finally began to show their murderous intent toward me.
The blue goblins that being tied by the chains then pierced by the spears are already began dissolved.
I took a breath briefly.
To tell you the truth... I want to shout out.
Possibly it might be good to get rid of fear inside of me.
And no matter how much my physical strength changes, there's a limit to it.
Even an energy to shout is precious now.
Therefore I try to keep my breath short as much as possible.
The only words that comes out from my mouth are only the forbidden spell incantation.
"I, the king of chains, the prison of the furthest end, the ten thousand chainsー"
I keep chanting while cutting down the goblin.
From its neck gust fort blue blood.
Again, I turn around my body then attacked the next goblin.
Meanwhile, I didn't forget to put a marker on them too.
"ーunder my command, restrict my enemy."
I kill them, again and againー.
Keeping my breath as short as possible.
With minimal movementー...
While controlling the consumption of my stamina.
Steadily.
To survive, and return to those girls place.
"The ninth forbidden spell, release !"
The chains bind around ten of them at once.
again, I step forward.
While sometimes, I make the goblins that being restricted by the chains as a shield.
*Zuun*,
I smashed the forehead of the blue goblin.
"ーー"
... Next !
Cold sweat breaks out.
However, my body is hot
"Iー, pierce through the prisoners of the thousands of chainsー"
In the middle of slaughtering the blue goblins.
I also delicately deflected some of their attacks with the sword and change its direction.
Because of that, I understand something.
The blue goblins arm which have the shape of an ax.
The hard part is only until its elbow.
That's being the caseー
When one goblin raises its ax arm, I leap closing.
「ーThe black spear of greed that punishes the criminals.」
I aim at the blue goblin arm, and swung down my sword.
*Zuun*. the arm of the blue goblin got cut off.
The ax arm which aimed at my head gets thrown into the air.
The blue goblin with its red eyes looked at its own arm which got cut off.
And at that moment, I cut the blue goblin neck with my Akira sword.
"The ninth forbidden spell, second stage, release !"
My sweat flows like a waterfall.
*Fuu*, I breathe out a small breath.
... Next.
I can not stand idle.
Again I aimed at the crowded goblins on the other side.
One, two, three... five, six, seven, eight, ninth, tenー eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen... fifteen !
Without any time to take a breath...
I keep targeting the next.
Kill, Kill, Cut...
《KILL...》
《KILL...》
《KILL...ーー》 NO !
Wait.
Wait a minute.
I spring back...
I cannot afford to lose my consciousness to you...
I... "I" will return, to those girls...
I did not fight to die.
I fight to live !
That's why, I cannot let you to "eat" me.
I will surpass you !
.........................
I swung my swordー 16ー stabsー 17ー cut upー 18 !
"....................."
Only, when the times comes, I will give it to you...
I'll let you eat me.
Howeverー
Until I can't do anything anymore.
Until I think it's over.
Shut up for a bit.
I separate my consciousness that was about to get swallowed up.
In that instant.
Blue goblin attacked.
Fastー such vigor... however, I'm still faster !
I incline my body back, then dive forward.
*Bushaa*, Blue blood gushes out.
With the ax arm flying in the air, just like that blood scattered out from the wound, then the blue goblin fall.
I lost my balance.
However, I hold my ground.
Then I fix my posture immediately and hold up my sword once again.
I exhale my breath,
"Iーー"
I start the incantation again.
"The king of chains, the prisonー
ーI will absolutely, survive.
........................................
At the time when I visited Claris-san.
『There's something... that I wish to tell youー』
Claris-san said that.
"About the case of people dying because of entering sacred ruin without magic power aptitude."
This may just on the level of guessing howeverー she continue the talk after such introduction.
Regarding those who died in sacred ruin.
Those who died inside the sacred ruin can be revived.
The people who lost their life inside the ruin will be teleported to the above ground and be revived to the current state.
In fact, that is one of the special characteristics of the sacred ruin.
In fact, according to what I heard, the noble family were determined to send their dear children out to this academy is simply because there's this characteristic.
However, that is not all good fact.
After the revival, those who lost their life will remain sleeping soundly for at least two years.
In the meanwhile, they also don't need meal nor excretion, however, for example, if they are being stabbed by a sword during sleep, they will without doubt die.
And also, if one's died inside the sacred ruin, one's will take measure by withdrawing from the Lunezret academy.
The part they will sleep "at least" two years.
This means, there's a person who has continued sleeping.
According to what I heard, there's those who had been sleeping for more than a decade(and of course, they also gets old).
And the academy has no intention to keep nor waits for those people whom we don't know when they wake up.
That is the policy of the academy side.
The students who have to drop out from the academy, will be left to their parents and relatives.
And also, this 『Resurrection Teleport』 is only limited inside the sacred ruin away from the center.
Meaning, under the sacred treeー in other words, under the white fortress where the sacred tree knight doing sacred ruin exploration, the resurrection teleport did not exist.
Thus, the reason why this kind of academy curriculum was authorized, is simply because this Resurrection Teleport was being discovered.
<TLN : Talking about being realistic in a fantasy world... parents won't let their child go into danger...XD>
So that's why, even though there's a danger inside the sacred ruins, the students won't have felt such as going to the jaw of death.
Nonetheless, it does not mean that 『the fear of death』 disappear completely.
The suffering when one's on the verge of death will be left as a memory.
It's called 『Memory of death』 which becomes trauma, it is said that many people who wake up decide to just stay indoors in their home.
On the contrary, those who stop halfway are rare, and there's also those who being teased for being alive without ever killing any demon.
"Now then, regarding the 『key』 which is magic power."
