Episode 210. The Fox’s Grudge (4)
Talema was hit by a punch in an instant and fell several meters.
Even though he was able to quickly regain his bearings while flying, an arrow was still flying towards him as a follow-up attack.
“Ugh!”
Talema instantly catches the flying Aura arrow.
After showing off his amazing agility for a moment, Ruska was already standing behind him.
“Oh, you like it.”
Phew!-
I barely managed to block a fist flying from behind.
The tremendous rebound caused Talema to rub against the ground and be pushed back several meters.
And smoke was rising from the arm that had raised the guard.
‘How did this happen?’
Suddenly, Ruska’s movements became faster.
To be more precise, I should say that my perception has become sharper.
Anyway, it felt like they were predicting this side’s behavior pattern and moving forward.
Actually, didn’t she just say that she could see her future?
“You bastard, how can you still move after being hit like that?”
“Talemar said, blood pouring from his arm.
Then Ruska picked up his severed arm and smiled.
“Why are you so surprised that a mere student would do this?”
Honestly, even if it weren’t for Talema, other strong people would be surprised.
Because at that age, it’s rare for someone to survive attacks that rival high-level magic.
The only people who are mentioned as having some possibility are Princess Meiri Ludciel and Princess Mirona.
“It might have been different in the past, but I’m a little different now.”
Ruska remembered that day.
The situation that arose after Angela, who had changed into Gumi-roho, was returned to her original form.
It was then that King Talema suddenly appeared and declared that he would capture Angela.
I felt really helpless back then.
If the unidentified demon hadn’t appeared, Angela wouldn’t be here by now.
When I heard that Talema would reappear, I got goosebumps.
Because there is a good chance that that time will happen again.
“You may not remember, but even back then, you didn’t have any limbs left. I felt refreshed when I saw that sight… but I felt bitter because I actually didn’t do anything with my own strength.”
“Limbs…?”
Talema looked at her severed arm.
At the same time, I started getting a headache as I alternated between looking at my legs.
“Ugh…!”
He is a corpse. He cannot possibly feel physical pain.
But what is this head-piercing pain? It is definitely not physical pain.
This was just the effect of a forgotten memory forcibly popping out.
“This is…”
“I’ve been keeping up with the news about you. And what your life has been like since you went into hiding during the Gumiho incident.”
Having lost an arm and a leg, he was finished as neither a king nor a warrior.
It is said that he had nightmares every single day due to the trauma from that demon.
It was so bad that people who approached him said they could only hear screams.
“Oh, is it scary?”
He instinctively knew what had happened to him in his lifetime.
He found out what kind of state he was in right before he died. That’s why he couldn’t help but be afraid of Talema now.
“You said that when your corpse is about to die, it recalls memories from its previous life?”
“Ugh…!”
“Then what should we do?”
You must never die.
My body is screaming at me to never recall that memory again.
Kill your opponent and be sure to survive.
“Do you think I can leave it like that?”
Talema rushes forward with his head in a state of rage.
First, the severed arm had to be stolen and then restored to its original state.
If you just control the energy source of your body, the severed part can be restored at any time.
This is because Talema uses a special energy that is different from other corpses.
Whoosh!-
Ruska threw the severed arm she was holding at him.
Talema, who had been focusing his gaze there, stopped in his tracks.
And then he was hit in the face once more by Ruska’s fist.
Phew!-
“Ugh!”
Talema flew back and picked up the arm that had fallen to the ground.
I regenerated my arm right away, but it didn’t feel good.
“Are you joking already? Don’t corpses feel no pain?”
I don’t remember that vixen, but I really don’t like her.
I felt like I had to kill him painfully to feel better.
Pfft!-
The moment his arm reattaches, he rushes forward at high speed.
Talema’s appearance disappeared.
Even though I lost my sword when my arm flew off, I can still take that woman down with just my fists.
`Die!`
As expected, this side has better reflexes and experience.
In an instant, he moves backwards and pierces the heart with his claws.
Her aura-enhanced claws threaten to stab her in the back.
Bam!-
But Ruska’s gaze caught my eye and I counterattacked while avoiding the claws.
Ruska’s fist, surrounded by aura, struck his stomach.
Talema screamed again and flew away.
The flesh of the ship that was hit was completely crushed.
“Again…!”
Talema’s expression crumpled, though it didn’t seem to hurt.
Just like before, Ruska’s evasive moves have become more skillful than before.
Compared to a moment ago when it was difficult to figure out the flow, now it seemed like he knew the actions themselves in advance.
So even though I was avoiding it, my facial expression didn’t change at all.
“I told you, I can see your future.”
“Is that true?”
It is true that the Yoho have keen senses, but it is unusual for them to be able to see even an inch ahead of their own time.
Just how far does her talent extend?
At this point, I wasn’t at a level where I could be called a student.
Moreover, the full moon had caused the potential to explode.
`It was already annoying because of the matt house.`
A situation where it is not only difficult to kill, but even the evasion rate has increased.
It was like giving wings to a tiger.
And there was another part that made me angry.
`By the way, how did the weather change!`
The Diable Rain stopped and it was midnight with the full moon rising.
I had forgotten whether we were fighting or not, so it was strange that some kind of magic had been used.
“Oh, and don’t let your guard down.”
“what?”
While I was momentarily lost in thought, something caught my back.
A small thread? No, it looks like a fishing line because of the hook on it.
Then it was pulled out and something was snatched from my body.
“Oh, no!”
What the hook snatched away was a burning piece of paper.
Talema, who had been deprived of it, became lost in thought as if he had faced despair in life.
“So this is what’s moving.”
It was Radon Crowler who intercepted that important thing.
He was amazed at the fireworks he caught with his fishing rod.
“You little punk! Hand me that right now!”
“I told you not to look away!”
Phew!-
“Kwaaak!”
Ruska stopped Talema, who was trying to charge at Radon, and kicked him.
The kick that came at high speed sent Talema rolling on the floor.
But Ruska also wondered what it was.
“What is that?”
“To put it simply, it’s the driving force that moves the guy.”
Blue flames burning brightly on paper.
It didn’t seem to feel hot at all.
That’s why it felt more mysterious.
“How about we talk about the details after we finish up that guy?”
At the feet of Radon, who had given his advice, there were countless corpses strewn about.
It seemed like Radon had taken down all of the Talema so far.
Ruska herself took quite a few hits from fighting them, but Radon had already taken care of most of them.
“Are you okay?”
“Well, I don’t know if this will be okay or not….”
Of course, Radon was also quite injured.
As a result of dealing with that large amount of water, he was left lying down with blood flowing from his head.
However, it did not mean that life was in danger.
“See? Now I just have to deal with you and it’s over.”
“Ugh!”
The Eternal Flame, the driving force that moves the body, was taken away.
The activity time is longer because you can receive much better energy than simply injecting magic power.
But now that it was taken away, Talema’s only remaining driving force was the heat left behind by the fire.
We must take that woman down quickly before this last heat subsides.
But─
`Can we win?`
It was hard to hit that woman with a punch when she could see the future.
I could probably get it sorted out, but it was obvious that I would get up again.
The condition of Talema was too poor to solve these two difficult problems.
`My bones were crushed by the attack a little while ago…!`
Because his flame was taken away, his body could not be restored.
It’s not impossible, but if you do that, you’ll use up all your energy and won’t be able to move.
The worst case scenario is that if your leg breaks, you won’t be able to walk because it can’t be repaired.
‘Run away first!’
It was impossible to take it down before the heat disappeared.
Eventually, Talema had to turn around and run at full speed.
In the first place, he had no past glory or pride left.
Crunch!-
“Cough!”
Talema suddenly fell to the floor with a thud.
I thought I heard a strange sound, but it was the sound of one of my legs being cut off.
“Now you’re even going to run away?”
“Eek!”
“How disgusting. Who would have thought that this guy was a nightmare to me until now?”
It may be different from the person he was before he died, but his true nature will still remain.
Because it is a corpse that moves based on that.
Not only did he come back alive, but he also showed a sight that was beyond imagination, so Ruska felt a great sense of disgust.
At that hideous face, Talema’s liver grew cold.
‘Think about it… what would I have done if I were alive!’
Take the opponent’s important person hostage.
This is the most groundbreaking method, but it seems like no one around me can use it.
There was only one guy in sight who seemed to be the one most closely related to her.
“What are you looking at?”
Radon Crawler glares at him with displeasure.
Talema felt strange when she and Radon talked.
Should I say that it is a mixture of the mannerisms of a girl expressing her feelings to a boy?
I could instinctively tell that she was someone important to me.
`But how…!`
I couldn’t bring that boy named Radon over here.
Some of them can’t move because their legs are cut off, and even if they did move, it’s obvious that Ruska wouldn’t stay still.
`Think! Think! Think! Think! Think!`
The fear of death creeps in.
A nine-tailed monster fox appeared approaching with its teeth of rage.
Come to your senses. That’s not a monster, that’s a human.
A weak and corrupt human being. A trash human being.
It is impossible for such an inferior race to transcend common sense.
Clearly, they are guys who have nothing but weaknesses, far from any strengths!
‘Kekekeke! That’s it!’
Talema raised the corners of her mouth in the face of adversity.
Ruska, who had been approaching with an ominous attitude, also narrowed his brows at that smile.
And Talema’s face and clothes changed in an instant.
“uh…?”
It wasn’t Talema, it was Radon Crawler.
Same combat unit and same roommate.
And the man who is inseparable from her life.
“If you can kill me, kill me.”
It was one of the abilities I acquired after being resurrected as a corpse.
Since Leila, who was resurrected like herself, was able to roam the town with this ability, there was nothing Talema couldn’t do.
Originally, this ability was capable of infiltrating tactical drills undercover.
“This dirty thing…!”
Ruska hesitated for a moment, then belatedly raised his double-edged sword.
During that hesitation, Talema was secretly casting a piercing ray of magic.
“You stupid guy!”
With that magic, he reaches out to pierce Ruska’s heart.
But then, with a rustling sound, the hand was ripped off.
“uh?”
A giant crow appeared and bit my arm.
The crow sat next to Radon, the master who controlled him.
“Why are you panicking when the real thing is here?”
“Ugh…”
After a moment of embarrassed expression, Ruska pierced Talema’s upper body with her sword.
“Keuhehehe!”
Talema’s screams of pain were heard.
It was not physical pain, but psychological pain that brought back terrible memories from a past life.
“You’re going to continue to act dirty.”
“Cough…!”
“It’s so disgusting, it makes me sick.”
After that, Talema’s body did not move.
With all his powers gone and his physical functions lost, he was now nothing more than a corpse with only his mouth moving.
“Oh, no!”
Eventually, he regained his memories of his past life.
The painful process of my own death comes to mind.
“Ah, you are definitely… Ruina’s daughter…!”
Louis Mad-Eye.
An incompetent woman who was the knight in charge of his right arm, but was raped by the enemy.
The girl you see now was born that way.
Because she was so useless, she was used as a test subject, and that is how the saint known as Angela was born.
“Ruska… Mad-Eye!”
Eventually everything came back to me.
The shock of being defeated by women who were no different from test subjects.
And at the same time, the memory of being attacked by that devil came flooding back to me.
Just like that, his limbs were cut off.
“No… nooooooooooooo!!”
Talema, recalling the nightmare of that day, screamed until she disappeared.
Surviving as an Academy Fraudster
