Chapter 56
I lowered my gaze and looked around.
“Krrr!
“Fuck! Hey, do something!”
“Fuck, I only have my auxiliary weapon!”
“Just swing it!!!”
The monsters, with muscular bodies and canine heads, chased after the students.
The second-year students, who had undergone some training, fought back in groups of three or five, but most of them were unarmed, so their resistance was ineffective.
If this continued, it was only a matter of time before they were overwhelmed.
‘The orthodox method is out of the question now.’
According to the original scenario, a few days later.
3rd and 4th-year seniors and instructors would go on a large-scale overseas gate expedition.
That’s when Choi Ah-ram would cause trouble in the central plaza.
So the students would either find a way to escape, or arm themselves and fight the monsters.
And in the midst of all this, if they defeated the tutorial boss, Choi Ah-ram, the gate would be cleared.
But the tutorial boss battle had started earlier than expected, and the conditions had changed as well.
‘It’s a tougher situation than the game.’
Currently, this place is an enclosed space.
If that guy starts using area attacks, it’ll be a pain.
I quickly thought about modifying the clear conditions.
Rescue the senior students.Defeat the monsters.Defeat the boss.
And all of this had to be done at the same time.
It was a race against time.
I finished my calculations and turned my head.
Shin Se-hee was looking at me with a dazed expression.
“First of all, Shin Se-hee.”
“...Huh?”
She snapped out of her daze and answered when I called her name.
“Do you have all the information on the healers among the second-year students?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Then, you gather the healers right now and focus on healing the injured.”
“Okay, I’ll do that.”
Shin Se-hee nodded and immediately got up to leave.
“And Yoo-ri.”
“Yeah.”
“From now on, you’re the party leader.”
“Got it.”
Yoo-ri readily accepted the sudden appointment as deputy party leader.
“From now on, you, Kang Do-hee, and Senior Lim Ga-eul, the three of you will have to hunt the monsters. With the three of you, you should be able to do a mob hunt.”
“......What? What about you?”
But this command was so unexpected that Yoo-ri widened her eyes and asked.
Kang Do-hee and Lim Ga-eul also looked at me, not understanding what I was saying.
I threw a glance at Choi Ah-ram.
She was squatting, propping her face up with both hands, and grinning at us.
“I’ll hold that bastard back. If she starts using area attacks here, it’ll be a headache.”
“...Hah, but!”
“I don’t fit in with the mob-handling.”
I put my hand on Yoo-ri’s shoulder.
“You have to do it.”
She bit her lip. Then she nodded.
“Okay, I’ll be back soon after I finish this.”
I turned my gaze to Kang Do-hee and Lim Ga-eul.
Kang Do-hee clicked her tongue, not liking something, and turned away,
Lim Ga-eul looked embarrassed, but she nodded, thinking that she couldn’t just leave her peers like this.
After distributing roles to the party members,
I headed towards the stage alone.
“Huh? You came alone, not with everyone else?”
Choi Ah-ram got up and kicked the girl who had been sitting next to her.
Thud!
“Kwaak!”
The black beam returned and hit Choi Ah-ram’s shoulder.
She didn’t expect her attack to be reflected back at her, and she grimaced in pain as she clutched her shoulder.
‘An opening!’
Bang!
The sound of a short jump lingered like an afterimage,
And a beat later, the air exploded with a loud crack.
The tightly gripped sword hilt.
All my senses were on high alert.
A pale green light shone on the blade.
Sharp rays of light sliced through the air.
Swoosh!
The perfect one sword I had practiced all this time.
The straight line hit her shoulder.
Kwa-jik!
“Kyaaaaaaak!!!!”
Moonlight slashed at her shoulder, but instead of the sound of flesh being torn, it was the sound of something breaking.
Her shoulder had cracks in it, as if glass had shattered.
“......Huh, why.”
Choi Ah-ram shook her head, confused, but I didn’t give her time to recover as I started swinging my sword.
Swish!
Then she covered her face with her arms and began to draw out her magic power.
Kang! Ka-gang! Kang! Kang! Kang!
A shower of swords rained down on her like a downpour.
Swinging, thrusting, stabbing.
Moonlight was chipping away at her magical armour.
.
.
.
Ka-gang!
The deep purple sword drew an arc.
The tip of the sword stabbed the air and then fell, only to be roughly thrust back towards her waist.
Ka-gang! Ka-gang! Ka-gang!
“Kheuk!”
Choi Ah-ram groaned as she desperately blocked the relentless rain of sword strikes.
She was bewildered.
‘What the hell is this...! What the hell!!’
The endless stream of sword strikes seemed to be getting faster and faster.
Scrape.
Cracks began to form on her body as she blocked the swords with her arms.
The mystery grew.
A vague horror soaked her mind.
‘Why... why...?’
An unpleasant sensation, as if something sticky was crawling up from her ankles, filled her.
Choi Ah-ram clenched her teeth.
‘Why... why... why...!!!’
She had made a deal with the demons to become stronger, and in return, she had gained immense power.
In fact, she had successfully subdued Kim Soo-hyun, one of the stronger second-year students, with a single blow, hadn’t she?
So why.
Why.
Why was she being pushed back so much by a mere first-year student, a boy at that?
In the end, was she still trash, even after becoming a Demon?
“Fuck, this can’t be... this can’t be...”
Choi Ah-ram bit her lip.
The inferiority complex inside her swelled up, ready to burst.
Just then.
【 ...Become a complete Demon. 】
A sticky voice echoed in her ear.
