Chapter 518
Monsters are different.
Some of them have a symmetrical structure like a proper life form, and some have a hard-to-describe appearance.
There are people who can live by eating, and there are people who can live without eating.
There are those who are resistant to the cold, and there are those who do not die even in extreme heat.
There are people who have very good anti-magic power and cannot be killed with magic, and there are people who cannot be used with quite a few weapons at all.
We’re not trying to kill all those monsters.
It’s thinning out.
It’s a way to annihilate those who can’t stand the cold.
It’s not just the cold that can be used.
Of course, it could be dried to death in a very hot climate, like in the middle of a dry desert.
Liana causes climate change over a wide area, primarily reducing the number of monsters.
Maybe about forty degrees below zero.
If you factor in the blizzard, the perceived temperature will be much lower than that.
And not only the monsters have to endure the cold, so do we.
While Liana was using her abilities, we maintained our body temperature through Harriet’s magic while digging into shelters.
-Kuuuuuuuuuu!
The screams of the monsters howling in the cold echoed everywhere.
There were no monsters approaching the shelter Harriet had built.
We pass the day in a safe space, waiting for the blizzard to freeze the monsters to death.
“Aren’t you surprised when the allied forces come?”
Olivia smiled as she embraced the light summoned by Harriet.
Outside, it was so cold that you would freeze on your tongue if you spit on it, but inside the shelter it was warm.
“well… … . I hope the snow will melt by the time we get here.”
“Hmm, would you like to?”
At Airi’s words, Olivia tilted her head, wondering if that was the case.
The Allies are supposed to know of our existence anyway.
If we can destroy the gates of small cities by ourselves, we intend to do so, but we do not intend to overdo it.
“Everyone go to sleep. If the monsters find this place anyway, they’ll know because of the alarm.”
At Liana’s words, we all got ready to sleep in the tunnel.
Airi will help us fall asleep. Not being able to fall asleep in an unfamiliar bed is bound to cause problems in managing your condition.
Airi also has a role.
Liana’s power is extensive, but Airi’s power is also extensive.
Monsters who should be asleep will fall into a sleep from which they cannot be awakened.
Die in the cold and be swallowed up by the soma from which you cannot wake up.
How many monsters will be alive and walking the earth tomorrow morning?
and more important than that.
“To Bali.”
“… … uh.”
Airi puts her hand on my forehead.
Time for Ellen to dream about killing me.
I can’t even count how many times I’ve died.
There is one thing that can be counted.
Still, never won.
* * *
The dreams I have with Airi’s help are, for example, shadow boxing or more specific image training, but I always lose.
No, you don’t lose, you get killed.
Could it be because I fell asleep in a blizzard?
In my dream, I was able to see Ellen in my dream in the scenery of a snowstorm on the frozen ground.
– Whii-yi-yi!
Ellen, her black hair flying in a snowstorm, looks at me.
In a battle in a dream, there is always something to go through.
Ellen stares at me for about three seconds.
It’s just an image I created that has nothing to do with the real Ellen.
Ellen’s hair fluttering wildly in a blizzard and her calm expression.
and unfocused eyes.
Without saying anything to me, always trying to kill me.
Is Ellen’s current situation not that different from this?
Or, are you holding on somehow?
As long as I’m aiding the advance of the allied forces, I might run into Ellen someday.
Will the Ellen then be the same as the Ellen now?
-Kooung!
The snow that had accumulated around Ellen, who stepped on the advance, soared as if it were about to explode, breaking through the waves of snow and Ellen leaping at me.
– Kaang!
Strike Ellen’s sword with Alsbring.
I am afraid to see Ellen in real life.
With the same eyes as now, with the same attitude as now.
I thought he would try to kill me without hesitation.
I am not afraid of death.
I was afraid of those eyes.
-bang! Cacan! thud!
A blizzard was blown by the shockwaves that came and went between sword strikes.
I am afraid to face Ellen.
Still, the work to be done is the same.
Whether the real Ellen looks like this or not.
I am.
i will get you back
By any means.
* * *
next day.
There was a lot of snow at the entrance to the shelter from the wild blizzard all night, so Olivia and I cut through the snow to open our way outside.
– Fu-wook!
“Uh… … . It’s not something you do often.”
“So… … .”
It was a while to grumble, and Olivia and I, as well as the three of us who followed us, couldn’t keep their mouths shut at the scene unfolding in front of them.
The blizzard had already stopped.
Even Liana herself, who created this situation.
The whole world had turned white.
Literally, all I could see was eyes, eyes, and eyes.
As if the snow had eaten everything in the world. Not a single blade of grass or a single tree could be seen in the field.
Of course, there were monsters roaming the snow-covered land.
Large, medium and small.
It was clear that there was a monster that could withstand this severe cold.
“Almost all the monsters… … . dead… … .”
However, the number of monsters that had been swarming like insects had already been drastically reduced.
“The effect is certain to be more than enough.”
However, if it is more than this feeling, it is welcome.
The military was sent in to make what was possible only after a massive slaughter battle, a one-night blizzard.
This is only possible for Riana de Granz in the whole world.
The number of monsters is extremely reduced, so now you can destroy the warp gate.
“hmm… … . But there you are.”
Olivia tilts her head and points to the land where her eyes have covered everything.
“Warp Gate, where are you?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
surely.
Because everything was covered in snow, I couldn’t even tell where the warp gate was.
* * *
Since monsters keep coming out of the warp gate, we couldn’t help but know that the place where the monsters soared up was near the gate.
Liana said that she would melt the accumulated snow, but this time she tried to use her power in the opposite way instead of using a blizzard, but she was stopped.
Because there’s nothing good about taking antidepressants often.
In a land covered by blizzards, we were able to uncover more unexpected effects of climate change.
Most of the flying monsters crashed and died. It was impossible to fly in that wild blizzard, so my wings broke and I crashed.
Monsters that couldn’t stand the cold froze to death.
This was an expected effect so far.
However, many of the monsters were crushed to death by being buried in the snow.
A small town on the border of Rieseln.
I was in charge of identifying the location of the small warp gate and destroying it myself.
Since the monster outbreak was eliminated by a direct hit, the allied forces would be able to get here quickly if they only dealt with the monsters wandering the fields.
Even if there was no particular weather change, I was able to clear the road while melting the snow with firework on Tuesday, so we had no trouble moving, but the surviving monsters were also struggling under the snow.
I wish I knew how to die.
“I broke the gate, but… … .”
In the remote snowfield, we were able to achieve more than our goal.
It wasn’t to reduce the number of monsters, but because even though it was a small town, it was able to destroy one warp gate.
“I wonder if this will melt until the allied forces arrive… … ?”
The weather is still warm, so the speed of melting the snow must be fast.
We had to do a lot of crazy thinking.
* * *
No matter how fast the Allied advance is, there is a limit.
That’s why we succeeded in neutralizing the warp gate in one small city, so we exceeded what we had to do.
In the current situation, when the Allies are still quite far from us, it is pointless to clear the way ahead. If we clean up the monsters now, they’ll be swarming again when the Allies arrive.
So, we just have to set the right distance at the right time and clear the spot where the Allied Forces are expected to arrive some time later before the Allied advance team.
So, we just had to keep an eye on the movement of the allied forces and look at the operational status of each Lord Vampire unit, and there was nothing to do right now.
“I think it’s okay to go back to Edina.”
Those were Harriet’s words.
A necklace hangs around Harriet’s neck.
A fairly heavy necklace with eight rectangular blue cubes attached in a row.
power cartridge.
It’s Adelia’s invention, but of course Heriot can also make it.
As far as I know, Adelia continues to improve its power cartridge. It’s like trying to change the material itself so that mass production is possible, as well as performance and magic charge.
I heard that they made a new type of super-large power cartridge called the Arc Crystal.
A method that Rdina uses by absorbing Kaier’s magical power.
I thought it was a pretty interesting idea.
Just as Adelia improved the power cartridge in her own way, Heriot also improved.
If Adelia improved the power cartridge for others to use, Harriot improved the power cartridge for herself alone.
Eight power cartridges.
Automatic rechargeable.
When all mana is used, it is recharged by absorbing nearby mana.
If Adelia focused on improving power cartridges to enable mass production, Heriot made unique power cartridges.
As for the material and the design, even though Heriot made the power cartridges that I made in my spare time, those eight were the end.
It should be used when it is most important, and there is a risk that it will break down if used recklessly.
Harriet’s magical power is not lacking, but compared to the Lord Vampires who are equivalent to the great wizards, it is far below.
That’s why even if you understand magic, you can’t use it.
Eight auto-refilling power cartridges make up for that lack of horsepower.
soon.
The reason there is no Lord Vampire among us, who can be said to be Edina’s greatest strength, is because Harriet can now perfectly replace that role.
Not at the teleport level, but even mass teleport can be used.
Is Harriot the creator of the unique power cartridge that refills automatically? Adelia, who improved the power cartridge so that it can be mass-produced with inferior materials, is amazing.
both would be great In the end, they both just made what the situation needed.
Anyway, we can go back to Edina now.
The troops led by each Lord Vampire have been told not to overdo it, so if damage is likely to happen, retreat will be considered as a top priority.
As long as the operation is carried out separately from each other anyway, I have said that the judgment of the field commander is the most important, so I will take care of it even if I do not see their current situation.
“hmm… … .”
Sitting around in a snow pit, we are eating preserved food.
There is no point in clearing the way before the Allies arrive here.
You can go back to Edina.
But when I go back, I have nothing to do.
“Ashur… … . that guy… … . You said he was dead?”
At my words, Harriet, Lianna, and Olivia’s complexions turned bad.
Ashur was our classmate, and from Olivia’s point of view, they had met at the religious club Grace.
B-4 Ashir.
divine power talent.
We’re not very close, we’ve only talked a few times.
someone dies
People continue to die after the Gate incident, and it is inevitable that more people will die now that the fight is getting more and more intense.
Aren’t we doing this to minimize that inevitable death?
In the original story, Ludwig, the main character, dies at the end.
Of course, classmates also die. Saviolin Tana is also dying, so of course there are deaths among students.
Like Ellen, Harriet, Delphine and Scarlett, there are those who survive to the end.
However, the situation is different from the original.
It’s too different.
Ashur wasn’t the one who died.
The future has changed, the aspect of the fight has changed, and the guys who shouldn’t have died started to die.
The guys who die in the original may come to life.
Conversely, in the original development, the survivors may die.
Ashur’s death means that things are starting to happen.
It doesn’t just happen in hard and brutal fights. People can die even in ways close to accidents.
such deaths.
You can’t save everyone, but your classmates.
If there is a way to make those guys avoid death, shouldn’t it be so?
You never know who will die in a fight.
The only thing we can do right now is to reduce the scale of the fight they have to go through and reduce the monsters.
I couldn’t do more for those who died in battle.
However, there are also guys who die in other ways.
Because of the development and aspects that are different from the original, life and death in battle cannot be predicted and can only be prevented.
However, there are some things that have not changed from the original.
politics.
Death by politics will proceed as scheduled.
If the person related to politics is alive, the dynamics related to politics cannot help but be alive.
As the composition of power is reorganized, the tension that arises will remain the same.
As long as their humanity is intact, politics will cause them to want to kill someone.
Fights are unpredictable, but political ties remain intact.
“Heinrich, I don’t remember.”
At my words, Harriet and Liana nodded.
Heinrich von Schwarz.
He has the ability of pyrokinesis.
Prince of Kernstadt.
A prince who had no influence, but now has no choice but to become stronger.
“That guy will be killed soon.”
Killing, not fighting.
At those words, Liana and Harriet’s eyes widened.
