Sui*cide by Raising a Heroine chapter 194
194 – Salvation – 3
Drawing a trail of yellow light, a meteor crashed to the ground with a roar.
The impact almost devastated the ground, and the whole area was swept away. A thick cloud of black dust lay near the large crater. Debris soared high into the sky and fell in torrents.
The cause was me.
Stepping on the slope of the crater, I strode out of it. After pouring mana into the greatsword and swinging it once, the dust clouds were blown away by the wind and scattered neatly.
Olivia, who was restoring her body that had been smashed in the distance, was sending a sticky gaze. It didn’t matter that I had just smashed myself.
“Ah, Master…! Did you become that strong for me? Are you giving me love strong enough to destroy my world?”
“Smash the world?”
I glanced at the crater that had just come up. A crater that was formed in the aftermath of a star drop that was well over ten times my height.
“Because the worms lying there couldn’t make a single scratch! Me and Master. It’s something only the two of us can do! This is the power of love! Yes! It’s love! Right? Master thinks so too? Because he loves me, You’re so strong!”
After Olivia finished restoring her body, she attacked again. The voice directed at me overflowed with madness, and the gaze at me was full of love.
“I love you, Master! I love you more than anyone in the world! As expected, we are destined! We are inseparable!”
“Can’t we stop arguing about his fate?”
He raised his right foot and stomped on the ground strongly while blowing mana. A thump, and a shock wave rang out. Olivia, who was almost flying, was swept away by the shockwave and coughed up blood.
He swung his sword diagonally at Olivia, who paused for a moment. Mana condensed to the limit erupted explosively along its trajectory, creating a blue slash.
A thin solid line appeared behind it. A step later, Olivia’s upper body split in half, splitting from the left shoulder to the right side.
White flames burned and ate the wounds. While my upper body, which had been sliced off, fell backwards due to the inertia of running, my lower body was still running towards me.
I snapped my fingers. The flame spear hit his lower body directly. The bottom of the knee was smashed, and both legs lost balance and fell to the floor. Intestines spilled from the cut section.
And, as if there was something wrong, time rewinded and began to return to its original form.
Tsk, he clicked his tongue. When I was in a position to deal with that, it was a really nasty and troublesome ability. Well, that’s why I must have been able to live up to this point even though I was trembling all the damn shit about dying.
‘… … There’s nothing good about dragging it on for a long time.’
Scratching the floor with the tip of the greatsword, he jumped forward. A blue flame burst from the tip and climbed up my body, blooming on the sword body and handle.
It seemed like there was a gasping sound coming from somewhere.
The blue flames tried to cover my whole body, but when they met the white flames that already occupied half of my body, they radiated light and heat.
Wings made of divine power sprouted from my back. It wasn’t perfect white, but it was a wing with a little bit of blue. The wings spread wide, and the divine power displayed a brilliant glow.
It seemed like there was a loud cry coming from somewhere.
So, while I was preparing for the next attack, Olivia, who had finished restoring her body before I knew it, shouted with a broad smile.
“As expected? No need to talk about fate, we love each other? I believe it, Master! Got it! How can I! At most, the word fate is not enough to express all of our love!”
‘Can that be interpreted like that?’
I thought it would be better not to say unnecessary things, so I just kept my mouth shut. With blue and white flames wrapped around its body, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
I drew a magic circle with my left hand. It was a magic circle with a complex pentagon pattern, to use magic that could be called the strongest firepower.
It seemed that a small voice of admiration could be heard from somewhere.
When the magic circle was completed, the boiling hell itself was contained in the left hand. The suddenly heated black mana could not melt and even oxidized.
It flapped its wings once more, preparing to slam down.
ㅡCreating the moon.
ㅡ Purgatory.
Two opposing powers rose from my left and right hands, respectively, aiming at Olivia. The blue and red flames caused a tremendous backlash.
Olivia raised her greatsword with a happy smile. Black mana overflowed from its body, forming a layered barrier.
tucked underneath The blue flames around her body burned even more fiercely, ready to explode its power. The world flashed, his vision bathed in light and heat.
The first thing that collided with the black mana barrier was purgatory. The heat of hell melted the black mana, and the black mana ate the red flame. The atmosphere heated up, forcing updrafts.
everything boiled over My eyes were distorted. The light that he did not expect to come in between this fierce battle distorted his pupils.
Behind the melted black mana, Olivia’s sword was revealed. He raised his right arm up. Blue flames gathered in the sword body.
The sword was lowered vertically.
Olivia’s sword collided with mine first, and then Olivia’s body collapsed. Even before it touched the greatsword, the wind pressure alone crushed all of its bones and flesh.
As soon as Olivia was hit directly by the moon shatter, she shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. The head and pelvis collided, and the sound of the bones and flesh inside them being compressed resonated like a scream.
‘Even this is not enough.’
Before her body was shattered, the last emotions seen on Olivia’s face were pleasure and bliss itself.
No matter how beaten I am, no matter how much I am pierced by a greatsword, no matter how much I am torn by magic, no matter how much I am burned by divine power. Olivia only expressed her infinite love for me.
‘How much time has passed?’
I shook my head for a moment. More than 20 minutes had passed since me and Olivia started fighting. During these 20 minutes, Olivia and I continued to battle.
To be precise, I had overpowered Olivia one-sidedly.
The fact that Serena, Christine, and Charlotte’s individual strength is slightly behind Olivia’s, on the contrary, it also meant that if the three of them combined their strength, they could lightly crush Olivia.
The powers of three people dwelled in my body right now. So it would be weirder not to win over Olivia.
‘I can’t go on like this. I have to find a way.’
However, even this power had its limits.
“Ah, Master. My Master. How long has it been? How long has it been since we’ve been rolling on the floor like this? Isn’t it time to end soon? Isn’t it time for you to accept my love? Isn’t it time for the magic to break, the fog to lift, and the truth to be revealed?”
“Not if I kill you in it.”
Olivia chuckled. It was as if he had heard a really funny joke.
I groaned inside. okay. It’s been a long time since Olivia figured out the condition of my body a long time ago, without having to tell me and sleep.
The soul bond between me, Serena, Charlotte, and Christine had already been broken.
The bonds between the essences of the souls were severed directly, and since it was all bound to the mere fragments left in my soul, of course, the bonds were only temporary.
The fact that I couldn’t use black mana was the proof. It was because Olivia’s soul had been shattered into thin air a long time ago.
Olivia’s soul was just a piece of torn pieces put together, and the bond with mine was very weak because time had passed so long.
The other three souls still maintain their bond, but it didn’t seem like it would last very long.
‘The remaining time… … About 10 minutes at most. It’s consumed much faster than I thought.’
The speed at which the bond weakened was much faster than I expected. I thought I would be able to hold out for at least an hour, but it still looks like this even though only 20 minutes have passed.
I had to end this situation somehow quickly. No matter how much I overwhelm Olivia, unless I succeed in breaking through the time freeze or completely overpowering it, it will be a loss on my side.
“…”
Or, use the second method.
I glanced back at the place where Serena, Christine, and Charlotte had been evacuated. The three of them were arguing and growling even in this situation.
Seeing him doing that without getting tired, it seemed that his strength had recovered quite a bit. Right after I moved it, I was in the middle of a near-death situation, so it didn’t seem like I was thinking about fighting spirits.
I was determined. Anyway, if I didn’t win Olivia here, the fate that would come after that was only eternal love. So, if you’re determined, you’ve been prepared since you came here.
But what about Serena, Christine, and Charlotte? Can you nod your head even if you know what I’m going to do from now on?
I honestly wasn’t sure.
“Where are you looking at? Master? Yes? Why are you looking at those bugs and not me? Ah, is that so? You want to kill those bugs first? I’m sorry, Master. I’ll take care of it now!”
And there was no time to think.
After suddenly inserting Dimensional Sever and Meteor into Olivia, he hacked up the nearby space, buried it in time, and flew to the three of them.
My guess is that Olivia will be able to break through that in a minute at best. I had to work it out in there.
He landed in front of the three of them. Thanks to the healing magic I used, it looked clean to some extent. At first, it was a look that wouldn’t be strange at all if he died the moment he took his eyes off it.
First of all, that was that, and this was this. I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.
“I have something to say to you guys-“
“I see, lord.”
“I will obey. My God.”
“Do whatever your heart desires, dear.”
Before I even got to the point, as soon as I was about to start talking, the three of them first nodded and agreed. It was on my side that I was rather flustered when things turned out like this.
“Wait, you’re allowed? So easily? Do you know what I’m talking about?”
My Mac went numb. It felt like all the complex explanations I had in my head evaporated cleanly. Regardless of my feelings, the three of them calmly continued their conversation.
“How dare I refuse to do what my lord is doing with the body of a knight. Whatever you command me, I will gladly follow.”
“I exist only for God. If God wants it, even if I have to give up my life, I will gladly do it. Please tell me.”
“I believe in you. Isn’t this fact alone enough? That one trust is worth far more than a hundred promises and a thousand oaths.”
“……okay.”
As long as permission had been granted, there had to be no hesitation. There was not enough time to explain separately. Even at this moment, Olivia was coming this way while shedding light.
He put his right hand on his heart. Beyond that palm, the faint fragments of the soul shone. As if they knew at once what I was going to do with just that light, ecstasy appeared on the faces of the three in reverse.
‘Come to think of it, I broke the soul bond.’
Serena, Charlotte, and Christine. With the personalities of these three, it was clear that there would be nothing they would not like if they offered to re-establish their soul bond.
Although that wasn’t what I was worried about.
He raised his soul from his heart and reached out with his other hand. While trying to start soul binding in that state, it stopped working when it ran into an unexpected difficulty.
‘… … Who should I go first?’
Three pairs of eyes stared intently at the direction my hand would move.
Suddenly, a cold sweat formed on my back.
