Fate/Inheritance

After truly 'resting' in the eleventh room we finally went and entered the absolutely ridiculous 'trial'.

"Die for me Surtr!"

[Issue a proper command for once you dumbass bitch owner!]

"How the hell are we supposed to dodge this!"

"We might die?"

Starting from the magic bombing form the sky, the arrows and spears flying at us from all sides! And in front of us a rock that was even bigger than Surtr was rolling our way!

"Magic Formation behind us!"

"Damn it, aren't there any more slaves to be our shields?"

"We do!"

[Kuhahaha. I am hell's devil Baron… Uwuk!]

No.1000 instantly grabbed the white-clothed devil that emerged from the magic formation behind us and tossed him above us.

[These, these puny humaaaaannnnnns!!!]

I did not know before but after we cleared this bullet hell I would finally learn that this trial is actually collaborated developed by our past seniors starting from the devil summoning. The only thing the instructor personally made is the traps in the ceiling but as the generation came by the difficulty also raised. Ignoring those we finally got the 'path' of how to solve this trial which is…

"No. 1!" I grabbed the neck of a spawning devil and thrown it to No. 1, pushing him away from an unsuspecting arrow behind his back. Throwing the spawning devils to either becoming meat shields or 'sacrifice' is the very essence of this trial!!!

[You accursed assholes! Kuhuk!]

[Oh demon god, on these creatures more stubborn than angels and more evil than devils, curse theeeeemmm!]

[Shut up! At least you guys are done here, I still have moreaaaaeaeaaaa!]

And faster than we expected, in slightly less than 3 weeks, thanks to the devils and archdevil(lol) we used as shields, we could safely pass the twelfth trial.

"…That's the end."

"I'm feeling suspicious just seeing the sign…"

"Will it?"

"If it's the instructor…"

"Knowing the instructor I said there were twelve doors but there's actually a thirteenth. Would be something he could say."

"""""That's more than possible."""""

At the final door which marked the end of the twelfth trial, we swallowed and stopped our hands that were about to push the door open.

No.1000 was right. He'd said this was the twelfth trial, he didn't say that there would only be twelve trials.

"But still… we can only go forward."

"We can go back though?"

"That's not what I meant!"

We hesitated for around an hour.

Finally, we opened the door and went out. And what greeted us was bright sunlight and.

"That was quick. Congratulations, my juniors."

The senior that had greeted us with an incredible vigor, the human called Rein.

And unlike the easygoing laugh that I saw on him previously, the smile he wore now had a fearsome air emanating about it.

"And, bye bye."

""Dodge!""

Golden hair scattered in the wind, and the brightly smiling face was one that was handsome even if a man looked at it. But with one hand he was waving at us and with the other he held the thing called the bat.

Pang!

"Kuhut?!"

At No. 1's and mine's sudden shout No.1000 and Yamada dodged, but No.17 couldn't exhibit the same reflexes as we could. No, before that she probably reflexively set up a magic barrier.

But the moment the bat hit the magic barrier, the magic barrier vanished as if it had never existed in that space.

"Haaht? Urk? Wai, wait! It hurts!"

And began the bat attack. The bat began to land everywhere on No.17's body, and after she let the first strike through, all No.17 could do was whimper.

"Uht? Sa, save… Hnnn?"

"Haha, you're not going to die so rest assured!"

No.17 who was looking at us with desperate eyes and the ex-senpai who smirked down on No.17. Alright, in that case.

""Run!""

"Eh?"

"Hauuht? Kuk? Uut? He, help m..Aaah!"

Sorry. But you didn't stop the instructor when he was hitting me either. No, on the contrary when the instructor was hitting me on autopilot you weren't even looking at me as I fainted. With us earlier victims (me and no. 1) rushing for the bright exit we abandoned the twitching 'corpse' quickly.

This is all your comeuppance! But I'll remember your sacrifice!

I ran like hell towards the light of the cave entrance, but between me and the other three and the sparkling light, the ex-senior person appeared.

"This is already my realm!"

"Damn it, he pre-drew the magic formation!"

Kang!

"Uuht? Why. Why does it hurt!"

Even at my shouts all he did was lift the bat to attack again.

In response to the bat being swung her way No.1000 instantly brought out two daggers to counterattack but the moment the knives and bat met, No.1000's condition began to deteriorate very quickly.

"Uuht? What? It hurth? Why?"

No.1000 who had barely managed to stay standing on shaking legs had no choice but to let her knees drop to the ground.

"It hurts? No! Urrk? S, stop!"

It was the first time I heard No.1000's voice this weak and frail, not even when she failed to eat breakfast was her state this bad. After swiftly finishing off Yamada, no. 1 and no. 1000 he looked at me with a devilish grin.

"Right, now you're the last one."

"Urk?!"

In the end I pulled out my spear and poured in as much prana as possible. But not even No.1000's sharp sword ki could so much as scratch the bat. Could I actually win?

"Were you thinking you could actually win by any chance?"

"Urk?!"

"Hahaha, come at me, brat!"

In in exactly four strikes I started screaming on the ground, and like this, we could only scream and howl in pain with a feeling of utter helplessness that none of the twelve trials could inflict on us. With us twitching in the ground the human (devil) called Rein said to us.

"The instructor is currently on leave because a mission was called from the higher ups for him so he tasked me to become your temporary instructor… So my c.o.c.ky juniors, let's enjoy our short time with each other~…

Yameerroo!!!! I screamed internally when the bat is slowly enlarging in my vision…

Our lovable and angelic instructor… Please return to us quickly!!!
