100CIM - Chapter 218




One day Simone thought.

To be exact, ever since the time when the nine-legged ghost accidentally possessed her body, and after she regained consciousness, the amount and quality of her mana suddenly increased to an unbelievable degree, she's had doubts about this constantly.

What on earth was that?

Simone asked Geneon a few questions, but he refused to answer, saying he would never say anything he wasn't sure about, and there was no one else she could ask him about it.

Even if Orckn or El had been there, there would have been two more people to ask...

Questions that don't get an answer tend to linger in the mind. So Simone thought about it again and again.

A strangely strong being, capable of imprisoning and releasing Simone's soul within her body without any effort.

Yet, they are so affectionate that she doesn't even feel wary.

'I should have read the book harder?'

Even if that weren't the case, would you have known if you had paid a little more attention to the character of Simone?

Simone, who was unable to find an answer, began to look through forbidden books on necromancers and finally came up with a hypothesis.

'God of Death'.

Could it be that being, also known as the father God of necromancers?

But even though it was the most likely conclusion, it was only a hypothesis because...

'He was a nine-legged ghost... He was an idiot who only told people to die...'

No matter how I look at it, it's him? I want...?

Moreover, it is unlikely that the God of Death, who is the second-highest God after the Creator of all things, would invite possession just to save a single human being.

But even though Simone couldn't know what it was, there was something she could understand.

1. That great power is very favorable to Simone.

2. If you can use that power, honestly, it's worth trying to replace a half-assed Anasis.

3. Surprisingly, I think I have a rough idea of ​​how to use the power.

Based on that conclusion, she was thinking of going to the training ground soon and trying it out with Geneon.

However, she only thought about it, but she didn't have the confidence to endure the pain or side effects of training, so Simone kept putting off trying until today.

'Hey, do you think Anasis would show up like that?'

This is a novel, so when the opponent has finished preparing, and we have finished preparing, and when it's time for the final battle, huh? And when the main character is there! That'll come! But the main character, Abel, has gone on an adventure right now! He won't come before me for a while!

... Simone put it off hard with that thought in mind.

But she never thought it would be today.

***

Crunch- Crunch-

The bones that buried Anasis soon crushed her to the point of breaking, eventually creating a large mountain of white bones.

Anasis, who was difficult to wound, let alone restrain, was treated like this in an instant.

It was such a sudden sight and an incomprehensible situation.

But unfortunately, Geneon, who could understand this situation even a little and explain it to people, was not here today.

That's why they can't help but be surprised.

The atmosphere changed, Simone overwhelmed Anasis with one finger, and Anasis was left helpless.

“...”

“How could this be...”

Capral and Rohias, who had been slammed against the wall, muttered in a breathy voice as if they could not remain calm this time.

There was no longer any loud noise from the rooftop.

All that could be heard was the sound of blood dripping from Simone's face.

They were so surprised that a groan rose to the tip of their jaw. But they couldn't bring themself to say it out loud.

What made this sight even more horrifying to those watching was not the mountain of bones or the fact that Anasis was inside it.

Simone was seen doing this so easily, with a smile on her face.

“What are you doing? You’re not going out.”

Louis finally came to his senses at the sudden voice. Simone was looking at Louis with the same sharp face as always as if she had never smiled before.

Only after all the blood has drained from her face can they see Simone's changed appearance. Her eyes have become dark and sunken, her face is pale and bloodless, and her lips are black.

It was that of a completely dead person, but the eyes were shining eerily brightly.

Above all, this powerful energy can still be felt.

Is what we are seeing really a person? Is it really Simone?

But Simone's next words completely cleared away all of Louis' doubts.

“No, Your Highness, I told you to hurry up and get down. I can’t hold out much longer. I’d rather die from a headache. Seriously, kid! Shut up! I can’t sustain this for long, so please go down first and prioritize evacuating the surviving students.”

... Louis doesn’t know who she’s fighting, but judging by Simone’s appearance, it doesn’t seem like she’ll be in much danger.

“...”

Louise staggered to her feet. Then he pulled out his sword that was stuck on the floor and headed down to the rooftop. Then he stopped and looked back at Simone.

“Nothing is more important than your life.”

“...”

“Simone, don’t fight and risk your life. Even if today is your only chance to kill Anasis, if it’s dangerous, run away instead.”

“I know.”

“I'll be back soon.”

Louis looked at Capral and Rohias. The two men gritted their teeth, got up, and followed Louis.

“Jace.”

"I am..."

Jace hung his head sullenly. It seemed like he didn't want to leave Simone behind.

But he took steps that did not fall.

When on earth would I ever be able to help her? I wanted to help her, I wanted to show that I was worthy of being her employee, but today wasn't the day.

“See you in a bit.”

“Master Jace.”

Jace stopped walking at Simone's call. When he turned around, Simone was smiling at him.

“I have a favor to ask of you, so please come see me later. It’s something that only Jace can do.”

His gloomy face suddenly brightened.

“Yes! I will definitely go! Please be careful...”

Only after Simone nodded did Jace follow Louis down from the rooftop.

After they went down, Simone frowned and hit herself on the head.

“I’m going to be in so much pain.”

Shit, shit, shit...

She wondered how she managed to remain calm in front of them, even though she was in so much pain.

The indescribable pain of the soul being torn apart and reattached, divided, and reunited again.

It felt like she was going through the physical battle she had experienced during her previous awakening again.

Simone hit her head repeatedly, barely regaining consciousness before reaching for the mountain of bones.

'Finish it in one breath.'

Simone exhaled and slowly closed her eyes. Then she felt her soul slowly being pushed back and another self stepping forward.

Simone slowly lifted the mountain of bones into the sky, struggling not to be defeated by an ego that was stronger and more bloated than her own.

The bones that had risen upward began to come back together as if time had been turned back, taking the form of a skeleton.

Simone could now use abilities that she would never have been able to use in her usual state. However, she was so focused that veins were popping out around her eyes.

'It must not be taken away.'

She must make sure that this huge ego, this monster that she can hardly even call a soul, does not completely consume her body, that she can take the power but keep her mind completely her own.

Only then can we say that it was Simone, and not a 'higher being', who used this power?

Soon, Anasis was revealed, brutally torn between the bones.

Anasis sat up, her trembling body rising, and smiled at Simone.

Blood flowed out from between her teeth.

“This crazy bitch... She’s seriously crazy... How, cough... That, that power...”

Simone looked at her expressionlessly and snickered.

“You never thought of trying?”

Simone doesn't know if it's because she didn't do it because it was something she could do but couldn't do without being quite crazy, or if she knew but couldn't do it, but judging by her reaction, it seems Anasis also knows about this existence.

'Is he really the God of death?'

Simone looked straight at her, trying to bear the pain that was pounding in her brain.

Then Anasis ground her teeth and began to attack Simone indiscriminately.

“Ahhh!!! Ouch!!! I lost because of this body, you know that? If only my plan worked!!! There’s no way I could lose!!!! Aaaah!!!!!”

Simone dodged the onslaught with ease and ran forward.

At this moment, her body felt light as if it had wings. Even the gestures used to dodge the attack were so skillful that it was hard to say that they were Simone's.

As if she was under someone's protection as if she had completely inherited someone's power and abilities and was using them.

“Ugh!!!! Aaaah!!!!! Body, give me your body. Give me your body!!!”

Simone finally reached Anasis and raised her fingertips in the air. It was the same size as the ones she had used before, but the amount of mana contained within was dozens of times greater.

Simone expressionlessly lowered Anasis’s neck. It was a cruel act if it was cruel at all. However, there was no wavering in Simone’s eyes.

As if, at this moment, she were someone else other than Simone.

“Ugh... Why, why are you me..."

Why did you abandon me?

Anasis' bloodshot eyes slowly fell down along with her neck, a look full of betrayal.

Anasis's neck rolled to a stop. And after a while, her body, which had been standing upright, also fell down unsightly.

“Ugh... Gasp...”

Is it over?

Simone held her pounding head and looked at Anasis's bleeding neck and face, which could not even close its eyes.

Is this the end?

Is this really the end for Anasis?

At that moment, Anasis's eyes widened and she looked up at Simone fiercely.

“What, what...”

As Simone took a step back in confusion, Anasis' head rolled off the rooftop, laughing so hard she couldn't even hear herself.

“...”

What is this...

Simone, who had been standing there in shock, jumped up and looked down at the rooftop railing.

And before she knew it, Anasis's mouth opened wide.

You thought it was over?

Anasis's head was propped up on the dirt, and she was quietly smiling at Simone.

And the opaque human souls that appear around it.

The souls of the students who had been attacked by the skeleton were heading somewhere.

At that moment, the words Anasis had said earlier came to mind.

“All death in this world goes to the King of the Underworld, and he will soon rise again. Then I will chew it up and swallow it, and take over your body with a stronger soul.”

“...This is crazy!”

Simone started running urgently down the dormitory.
