100CIM - Chapter 217



"Uh..."

who are you?

Simone looked at the two students who were helping her up with a puzzled look on her face.

But she couldn't ask them anything, because before Simone could open her mouth, two men drew their swords and rushed forward.

“Excuse me... !”

Did those people run away knowing how dangerous the woman in front of them was?

As Simone reached out in shock, about to create a mana sphere, Jace stopped her.

“Simone! For now, I think it would be best to do as our seniors say. They are the successors of the Muin family. In terms of swordsmanship alone, they are superior to His Highness.”

“...Is that possible?”

Those students?

Simone looked at them with distrustful eyes. Louis was strong enough to become a sword master. The only one who could surpass him in skill would be Abel.

However.

Kagang! Chaeng!

...Does it work?

The absurdity was clearly visible on Simone’s face. Capral and Rohias rushed straight towards Anasis, but failed to penetrate Anasis’ shield in one go, but succeeded in diverting her gaze.

A sword that flies so fast that it is invisible to the eye, and a classic sword that strikes down heavily without missing even the smallest gap.

Their swords obscured Simone's appearance, giving her time to think and decide.

'How could they...'

They're still students...

Then Jace said,

“The Capral and Rohias families have been the royal guards for generations. So they must have received rigorous training from a young age.”

The two families have been the foremost military families in the Luan Empire since ancient times.

If they were the successors of those two families, they would have the skills to be called the strongest warriors in the Luan Empire.

“So don’t worry and hurry up!”

At that moment, Louis joined the attack of Capral and Rohias. Even for Anasis, it was not easy to withstand the attacks of three people at once, so she was gradually pushed back.

Simone closed her eyes.

Thanks to them buying her some time, she can finally concentrate.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Save me!!!!!”

“Ugh...”

“Oh, don’t come!!! Aaaah!”

Below, Simone could hear the students' painful screams, but for now, she closed her ears and drew on all the mana she had.

Since even skeletons have appeared, sacrifices are inevitable. So the best thing to do in this situation is to save as many students as possible, even if it means making sacrifices.

They must not release the soul legions here, as this could destroy the living.

'Then again.'

She has no choice but to try it.

“Lady Simone...”

Jace looked at her worriedly. Simone suddenly closed her eyes and didn't move at all as if she had no idea what was going on.

What are you trying to do?

Although the presence of people has allowed her to successfully buy time, the presence of people has limitations in the use of her abilities.

Jace's gaze turned downward. Hundreds, thousands of skeletons had already killed many students, and some of them were already leaving the dormitory and heading towards the other students.

Is there really a way to deal with those guys and Anasis without killing anyone?

That was when.

Phew!

“Hey, Simone!”

Jace made a sound that was almost like a seizure. This caused Louis's gaze, who was dealing with Anasis, to turn to her as well.

Then, with a hardened face, Louis stopped and was thrown far away by Anasis' hand, who did not miss the opportunity.

Kwakwakwakwang!!!!

The sound of a human body being crushed and broken into pieces on the ground. However, Louis, who had created the sound, could not take his eyes off Simone, just like Jace.

She fell headfirst to the floor. Her head hit the ground and burst open, blood gushing out, and soon dark red blood flowed out in such a way that it formed a puddle.

“Lady Simone...”

Louis moaned her name in a hushed voice as if in disbelief.

He knows she's being unreasonable. She's been attacking inefficiently to protect the people here and fight, which is why her mana consumption is so high.

On top of that, she had been hit by Anasis' attacks several times, so there was no way she would be okay.

But she must have still had enough stamina to hold on without collapsing. How could she...

If you lose that much blood, you'll definitely die.

“Oh, no... Simone..”

The moment Louis reached out his trembling hands and tried to get closer to Simone.

“Ugh!”

“Damn it!”

Capral and Rohias, who had been holding on well, were blown away with great force and slammed into the wall.

As the obstacle disappeared, Anasis smirked and raised her mana to attack the fallen Simone, but then flinched, opened her eyes wide, and stopped dead in her tracks.

"You."

Her voice sounded frighteningly low.

Bloodshot, bloodshot eyes that were too young to live. But legs that didn't move even when they saw Simone in a defenseless state.

'It's not that I stopped because I had some thoughts.'

To Louis, it didn't look like she wasn't moving, it just looked like she couldn't move.

'What's going on?'

Louis frowned and turned his gaze back to Simone. The first thing he saw was not Simone, but Jace, who had turned pale and was trembling like an aspen leaf.

“Jace?”

Jace stepped back with a face full of fear. Louis found that a bit odd. It was not Anasis he was afraid of, but Simone lying there bleeding.

There was no way he would do that. Jace would have been willing to point his sword at Simone, who had fallen, even in the face of a formidable opponent like Anasis.

And then there's Anasis, who reacts no differently than Jace.

'Is there something that only those who can sense energy can see?'

Jace also has a strange constitution due to a long-standing curse, so he may be able to see or feel something. Only they can feel it here-

Chubbuck-

Everyone held their breath at the earnest voice. Simone, who had fallen, raised her arms, her face still buried in the pool of blood.

Everyone, including Anasis, looked at Simone at the same time as if time was flowing only for her.

'Ah.'

Louis groaned softly.

He can feel it now. The deathly dark aura that Jace and Anasis must have felt.

How can it be this dark? Just feeling the presence of someone causes an unbearable darkness to engulf his heart.

Chubbuck-

The feeling of being sucked into the deep sea in an instant, the fear of death approaching.

The formless energy is so huge and immense that he feels like he is losing all motivation.

The urge to run away immediately surges.

But the reason Louis was barely able to hold on was because this energy was flowing from Simone, not Anasis.

At that moment, Simone, who had been lying with her head buried in a pool of blood, raised her upper body.

"You..."

Anasis, who had been relaxed, also felt the same way and took a step back with a hardened face.

Red eyes shone brightly through her blood-covered face, lips blackened like a corpse. Simone opened her mouth while glaring at Anasis expressionlessly.

“Oh, shit. My head hurts so bad.”

“...”

Huh?

“I feel like I’m going to die. Why did I do this? Ugh- ugh- shit, won’t you stay still? When I’m done, I’m going to squirm- ugh.”

Uh?

“Ah, it would be easier if I just stayed still. Aah!”

“What are you doing now...”

Louis asked, unable to bear it any longer, his face beginning to turn delicate.

Simone was mumbling strange words that seemed pathetic at first glance while exuding tremendous momentum.

However, Simone, who seemed distressed, kept her mouth shut as if the internal situation was finally sorted out after hearing Louis' question.

Her gaze was still on Anasis.

“Simone...”

Anasis muttered softly. The moment their eyes met in the air, the atmosphere here strangely changed in an instant.

Anasis was no longer relaxed. Rather, it was Simone who stood alone, covered in blood, who had become calmer than before.

Simone looked at her expressionlessly and opened her mouth.

“Well done.”

“...”

“If you were dead, I would just sit quietly in hell.”

There was no further conversation. Simone waved her finger lightly in the air.

Then, the skeletons that had been attacking the students from below began to rise into the air all at once, disintegrating.

“You bury this in the ground and wait for me? You called me here just to do this?”

“This, this, this kid!!!! Why the hell!!!”

As Anasis was about to smack her lips and swing her mana ball at Simone, Simone moved her fingers again, and the bones floating in the air quickly poured down on Anasis, completely burying her.
