I Possessed The Villain’s Childhood Friend

90 – Assault – 5

It’s warm.

Even if I couldn’t see it, I could tell that for sure.

This long-forgotten sensation.

In other words, the warmth that I was so used to in the past.

I thought I’d never feel it again.

It all ended because of my mistake.

Some people said it wasn’t my fault, it was already decided, but in my mind, that consolation was meaningless.

“… hahahaha.”

After that day, I thought every day that this world was really trash.

But never once did I stop praying or penitence.

Because I believed in her older sister who loved people more than anyone else and believed in the world.

Then this must be the reward for the past.

It was supposed to let me know that hope never ceased.

Yes.

Then what I can do is definitely….

★

“… Really, you are amazing.”

Those words escaped Ed’s mouth.

It wasn’t word of mouth.

It was sincerity that came out unintentionally.

Ed is in charge of the staff in Avatar.

Analyze the opponent’s strength, devise future strategies, and present the direction the organization will move forward.

He may be inferior to other officers in terms of combat, but even with this alone, he was one of the most important personnel in Avatar.

In other words, even this raid was one of Ed’s thoroughly prepared plans.

Over the course of several weeks, I sent demon beasts from the east and west to the south.

Using it, I summoned students who can judge with their strength even in Arcana to the front line.

After distributing positions according to their respective roles.

He and his younger brother go and annihilate any place other than the front line where the professors are heading.

As it is an urgent situation, there won’t be enough escort personnel to attach while Ike and Leon’s party are moving.

To sum up, it ends with only dealing with and killing fledglings.

Even if it was just one or two knights or professors, it wouldn’t be possible to stop it, so even that was fine.

And things went just as Ed expected.

Leon’s party to heal the professors and the wounded heading to the front line, and Ike’s party to deliver supplies.

He was divided into three teams like this, said his younger brother, S.

All that remains is to annihilate them.

Only one person can stand on the front lines, and Leon and his party are Edgar, who controls the Demonic Beast.

It was decided that Ike’s party, who had a good overall balance, would be in charge of S, who could overwhelm them with his skills.

Ed believed that Ike’s party, where S had gone, had already been destroyed.

But only one.

There were things Ed hadn’t considered, or exactly what he couldn’t have predicted.

“Huh!”

That Leon Aegis Astraia, the greatest genius in the history of the empire, was a genius beyond Ed’s imagination.

“Cure Effect!”

It was that Atal’s connection to assist him was more annoying than I thought.

Leon, who barely avoids fatal blows and pokes the beasts’ gaps, and Atal, who immediately uses protection magic whenever he is in danger of getting hurt.

To simply say that they were students, they were too good.

So I changed my mind in the middle and tried to send 2 monsters to Atal.

“Protection Barrier!”

Atal blocked even that with barrier magic.

“This is dangerous.”

Of course, that didn’t mean Ed was being pushed aside.

Leon’s wounds were slowly increasing, and Atal was also beginning to show signs of depletion of magical energy.

Undoubtedly, it was Ed who would win at the end.

However, the dragging of time itself was a problem.

Once that happens, additional reinforcements will surely arrive.

“Extermination seems impossible.”

At that fact, Ed gritted his teeth.

[Cheer, uhm….]

In the meantime, a D-class monster fell.

The only thing left is 3 D-class monsters and 3 C-class monsters.

It was enough troops to kill all of Leon’s party, but the expected time had already passed.

“… Wait for a sec.”

‘Time has passed?’

Ed pulled out his pocket watch and checked the time.

The time is 5:51.

Ed’s estimated finish time was 5:40.

‘Then why doesn’t S rejoin?’

Surely, the promise was for S to join Ed, and with S’ skills, there was no chance of losing to Ike and the others.

‘Something went wrong.’

It was only natural for Ed to feel impatient the moment those thoughts passed through his head.

“Kill everything.”

At the same time as those words, from the bodies of the beasts surrounding Leon.

[Kwoaaa!!!]

A fountain of blood gushed out.

“What?!”

However, the magic beasts did not fall.

Their eyes turned bright red in an instant, and the claws and teeth of the Demonic Beast, which became much faster, were directed at Leon.

Leon, who had been able to counterattack to some extent before, completely lost his composure.

Atal was also much faster and had to use a lot of secondary magic.

But even as he looked at it, Ed wasn’t sure.

‘Can I really kill with this?’

Beast’s mana runs out of control to overcome the limit.

Instead, the magical beast will die after 3 minutes.

Originally, it was a technique that shouldn’t be used when you’re not sure.

Ed, without a demon escort, was at most a low-ranking knight.

However, the fact that there was still no news from S made Ed’s mind impatient.

‘Probably impossible.’

In the short time of 3 minutes, I was sure that even though I could seriously injure Leon or Atal, it was impossible to kill them.

Nevertheless, the reason Ed used this technique was simple.

‘If S doesn’t come anyway, I will die too. Then I have to take at least one person with me.’

And the one Ed is aiming for….

“Ms. Michelle.”

Miss Michel showed no sign of answering my call.

The man who earlier introduced himself as Ed Cruel, belonging to Avatar.

Ms. Michel fainted after hearing the shocking truth he revealed.

I wasn’t hurt or anything, so I didn’t even need to use healing magic.

But when her Miss Michelle woke up, I hoped that she was at least a little calm, and I used a magic spell, Bless, on her to help her recover from her fatigue.

“… Really.”

Ms. Michelle was definitely a girl with a lively smile.

He was a junior who gave us strength just by approaching him in a friendly way and talking to him.

Even Miss Reina showed her care for Miss Michelle, which made me a little jealous.

A useless daughter to Miss Michelle.

“Really, too much.”

When I looked away, the man was still raising the corner of his mouth slightly.

In that smile, he felt absolute confidence that what he wanted would come true.

“Ha!”

On the front lines, Her Highness Leon and Atal were still fighting hard.

Two monsters had already turned into corpses on the floor, and with Atal’s magic, none of them could come over here.

The two of you were starting to get tired, but there was no problem.

What we need to do in the first place is to wait until the reinforcements arrive.

No matter how urgent the situation on the frontline is right now, if we don’t arrive at the base by the scheduled time, it’s clear that reinforcements will be sent.

But for some reason, my intuition kept ringing the alarm.

As if something dangerous was coming.

“Look, your hands are shaking.”

As if feeling my anxiety, Elin-sama, who was sitting next to me, grabbed my hand and spoke in a soft voice.

She was a strange woman.

Her long blue hair and white priestly clothes gave off a neat feeling.

However, the most distinctive appearance is the eyes.

Perhaps because of the long cut from right to left, Elin-sama kept her eyes closed.

But I didn’t feel any sense of heterogeneity.

Rather, the gentle smile that she shows from time to time, somehow relieved her nervousness.

You can feel the familiar feeling even if you are seeing it for the first time.

Unbeknownst to me, I wanted to ask if I had ever met him before.

“Don’t worry. I will protect you no matter what.”

Why is Elin so confident?

To be objective, the person who is having the most trouble in the current situation would be Elin-sama, not anyone else.

Rather, I should protect her from her blindness.

But why?

I was relieved by Elin-nim’s words, and I believed that if Elin-nim was there, we would all be safe.

[Kwoaaa!!!]

The situation has changed dramatically.

For some reason, at the man’s command, the beasts splattered blood from their bodies, and began to attack His Highness Leon with their eyes stained red.

The attack is much faster and stronger than ever before.

I even thought that maybe I should help now.

But at Her Highness Leon’s signal that it’s still okay, I clenched my fists and sat still.

Without preparing for the unexpected.

And that to me.

“Ms. Sophia!!!”

I am left with one of the thousand points.

★

At first, I think I often thought it was inconvenient.

Isn’t that obvious?

The things that were visible until now are not visible.

But there was never a time when I thought about getting treatment.

The day I couldn’t do what I had to do and lost everything.

It was a punishment given to me for not seeing what I was supposed to see.

[Keew woah woah!!!]

For 14 years, my hearing, which has become more sensitive than any other sense, has taught me that the current situation is not serious.

The sword cuts through the wind, and the beast howls with the unpleasant sound of flesh splitting.

She was looking directly at the scene, and she had been trembling ever since.

“Look, your hands are shaking.”

Even so, the warm magic that emanated from her hand seemed unstoppable.

As expected, I naturally smiled at the thought that I looked like my ‘sister’.

“Don’t worry. I will protect you no matter what.”

Fortunately, my words calmed her tremors somewhat.

Did you know my sincerity?

That would be great.

Because I am the one who has to apologize to you.

“Kill everything.”

[Kwoaaa!!!]

The surroundings are much more noisy than before.

Her hands began to tremble again.

It must mean that the situation has become serious.

Then I should prepare soon.

After that day, I swore that I would never make a mistake again.

If I ever see you again, I’ve decided to protect you no matter what.

“Ms. Sophia!!!”

My eyes opened.

For the first time in a while, the weather was unfortunately hazy.

★

“Uh, why… ?”

A huge demon beast suddenly rushed in from the right.

His Highness Leon noticed and screamed, but I was so taken aback by the sudden situation that I couldn’t use my protection magic.

The body froze, and the demon’s claws approached in an instant.

His Highness Leon and Atal couldn’t afford to help us at all as they were dealing with 5 monsters at the same time.

At last I closed my eyes to the approaching death, and opened them to the unpleasant sound piercing my flesh.

“Oh, filthy, oh, P-yes….”

For some reason Elin-sama, whose claws of the devil’s claws penetrated her stomach and was bleeding, was smiling at me with her eyes open.

Dark blue eyes with a gentle atmosphere.

“It’s been a long time, Zion….”

My head hurt.
