My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

Except for encountering Hammer Trent, I haven’t encountered any large monsters, and the field exercises are digested without any problems.

Most of the final exams are battles with monsters. And the monsters to fight are decided in advance in consideration of the ability required for recruits.

The main monsters are small ones that can be defeated independently, and medium-sized ones that can be defeated using cooperation.

However, it is not possible to encounter a monster that you have conveniently aimed at, and in such cases it is not uncommon to have a few days in the habitat. Among them, not only fighting ability but also physical strength, patience, and ability to cooperate with friends can be determined.

This time, only Harold is going to the final test as a special case, so the progress rate is quite good, but it is unavoidable that waiting or searching for enemies will take time. rice field.

After all, the whole process of the final test was completed 3 days after the start of the test. The last time I defeated Basilisk, it was getting dark.

Sacris looks back on what happened over the last three days as Harold and his friends prepare for a night camp along the river.

The final exam of the basic training course, which was organized in a hurry, the only participant was the much talked about boy Harold.

Although I was 13 years old, what surprised me most was the battle with Hammer Trent. If you want to defeat such a large monster with only recruits, it is difficult unless you have at least four people.

That’s why Sacris supported Platoon leader Lucas and Selim, but Harold easily defeated Hammer Trent without the help of the two.

I affirm, it is impossible to kill a hammer torrent at such a speed, even Sacris.

Abnormal fighting ability. I was reminded of what kind of talent would make a name for himself in the history of the Knights.

If you have that strength at Harold’s age, it may be natural to increase it. Sacris wondered if that was the cause of the confident, piercing, and disdainful words.

However, if you turn it over, it will lead to selfish single action. People who are confident in their strength, such as Harold, tend to downplay collaboration with their peers.

No matter how strong you are, there is a limit to what you can do alone. If I couldn’t understand it, I wouldn’t be able to pass it easily.

Harold did a good job when it came time to collaborate with the Cody Corps.

At first, there were places where we couldn’t breathe each other, but as we increased the number, those parts also improved. By the third day, we were able to show off a stable combination.

And that’s possible because Harold matched the members of the Cody Corps.

Harold is better than Robinsons in terms of personal ability alone. If they try to match Harold’s workmanship, it’s just a baggage.

Harold has been able to cooperate smoothly by suppressing his own power.

Although he is a poisonous tongue from beginning to end, he tries to eliminate his weaknesses by utilizing the strengths of his friends. Despite having outstanding ability and looking down on others, he is also good at respecting and utilizing such others.

He is a boy who can’t speak and act.

If you look down on someone who is really insignificant, you won’t be able to make such a wonderful collaboration.

On the other hand, I think that Harold’s ability is so high that he can do just that, no matter what he really is.

The essence of Harold could not be determined through the test. However, even if he makes a mistake, he has left a result that cannot be said to be unsuccessful.

However, Sacris remembered an unclear feeling of strangeness.

Despite having such a catch, the test was over, and the next morning I started moving to return to the royal capital. I left early in the morning at 6 o’clock and should be able to arrive by the end of today if nothing happens.

Form a formation in the same way as going, and proceed without delay while having lunch on the way.

It happened when the road to the royal capital was halfway through.

“What’s that?”

The first thing I noticed was Lucas. Everyone gazes ahead at the voice.

Something red and black was wriggling a few hundred meters away from the sacris.

“… Smoke? No, the colors and movements are not normal for that”

“Something is moody But “

” Maybe a new kind of monster? “

Each one speaks by speculation, but the identity is not known. Since it is on the path, I decided to approach and check it for the time being, but Harold’s face was steeper than usual.

Sacris and another person sensed it.

“Harold, do you know what that is?”

Cody asks in a whisper. Only Harold and Sacris would have heard.

“Come on, but if you don’t feel anything about it, you guys are pretty much burning”

Q Harold replied, keeping his eyes on something red and black. I didn’t understand why he was so dangerous.

However, you will soon find out that Harold’s intuition was right.

It was clear when I approached it, but it was mist-like. The shape is similar to a cylinder, and it springs up from the ground with wrinkles, and when it rises to a height of about 150 cm, it disperses.

However, other than that, I can’t get any clue to the true identity of this red-black fog.

“Are you burying something?”

The moment Sid broke his knee and tried to bend, the fog shook greatly. Some of them transform as if they had the intention.

At the same time, Harold’s sharp voice flew.

“Go down!”

“Eh? A sickle attacks Sid like a whip.

It was Harold who was screaming and jumping out to avoid the attack by pulling Sid’s neck, which could not respond to the sudden response.

It’s just a close call. A foggy sickle would have torn Sid’s neck if it had been delayed for even a moment.

The bangs that seemed to have been cut by a foggy sickle were scattered.

Understanding what happened, Sid thanked Harold with a slight bluish face.

“Thank you for your help … Harold”

“I don’t care about that, so I’ll stand up quickly”

p>

It’s a tough word for a human who is about to die, but the situation is so tight.

Because many red-black fog appeared before I knew it.

“Surrounded!”

“What is this?”

Something like a mist that appeared to surround the Sacris. A total of six fogs, including the newly appearing ones, uniformly form a sickle and begin to move in a circular motion.

Everyone steps on a strange sight that is unrealistic.

There is one person who is unwavering even in the face of such a creepy sight.

Harold took a breath and then attacked the fog without hesitation. The speed that I didn’t show during the test.

I’m amazed at the unrelenting ability, but in the meantime, Harold chops up his enemies with unstoppable speed.

The fog that was attacked seemed to be scattered … but soon it will be restored. After repeating it several times, Harold returned here.

“Physical attacks don’t work. Even if you put the blades together, the sword slipped through. You won’t be able to defend.”

“Besides, that attack is effective …”

It’s no doubt that Sid’s hair was cut.

Attacks cannot be communicated to the other party and are exposed to attacks that cannot be prevented.

“Well, I can’t win that …”

“You should run away !?”

p>

Robinson and Irene, who are inexperienced in unforeseen circumstances, are upset. Sid hasn’t recovered from fear either.

It is impossible to fight in such a state. Harold gives up on them once they try to lower them.

“If you have time to be upset, turn your head. If you don’t want to die, hold your sword.” Boltrans “”

A giant thunder lance fired with a deafening sound. Its spear, which will boast more than enough formidable power to kill its opponent, hits one of the fog directly.

This will disperse the fog, but it will soon return to its original state. However, Harold shoots magic in a row without worrying about such things.

“” Flame Column “” Aqua Slash “”

The effect was immediate. The fog swallowed by the flame column regained its original shape without incident, but the one that received the aqua slash dissipated and disappeared as if it were floating in the air.

“Is the magic of Water Attribute effective?”

Harold who fires aqua slashes toward the fog. All hit directly, but only one disappeared as a result.

The other four were alive and well. The answer that will be derived from this is …

“Is it effective only for the magic of a specific attribute?”

“It is troublesome that the effective attribute differs depending on the individual.

“Are you the boy of the sacris? Hit the magic from one end before complaining”

“That’s right”

Harold, Cody, and Sacris hit a magical salvo.

Thunder strikes, the flames wind backwards, and the wind blows. The grassland where the green was shining turned into scorched earth while I saw it.

After erasing all the red-black fog, Sacris manages to escape the crisis and immediately warns the surroundings and confirms his safety.

It seems that there is no reinforcement, and I regained my composure.

“Are you injured?”

“Oh, a real man …”

Everyone was unharmed. Sacris strokes his chest for that, thanks to Harold’s instant judgment and a clue to break through the situation.

Could I have been able to survive so quickly and accurately under my own command without causing any injuries?

I have to say that it is difficult. At least Sid’s fatal injury was inevitable.

As Harold said.

“If you don’t feel anything about that, you guys are pretty much burning”

I was warned so There is no doubt that it was his fault as the captain of this unit that he did not stop approaching carelessly. Misumi was about to lose the life of one person.

Sacris bows to Harold.

“Thank you Stokes. And I’m sorry. My misjudgment is the cause of my current predicament.” But don’t make the same mistake. “

This doesn’t tell you who is in the upper position. Still, Sacris replied with his determination, imprinting the words on his chest.

“Let’s command the liver. Absolutely”

◇

Sacris’s Thanks did not reach Harold’s ears. I was so upset that I had no choice but to respond mechanically.

Harold’s intuition is “Why is this guy !?”

Red-black fog, the official name in the original is Iary Cloud. It is an enemy that physical attacks are invalid and damage can only be passed by randomly determined magic.

There is nothing special about attack power, physical strength, or durability, but the trouble is that the attack of Iary Cloud cannot be defended. Anyway, there is no choice but to avoid it and throw in magic.

That’s why I fought while explaining in front of Cody and others.

In the case of games, there is an item called “Search Glass” that can identify the physical strength and weaknesses of the enemy, but for some reason it does not exist in this world.

I abandoned the idea that everything is the same as a game long ago, but the disappearance of the search glass helped me.

But that’s not important.

Iary Cloud is a monster that is closely related to the progress of the story, and it should appear from the middle to the end of the game.

More specifically, it is a proof that the plan that Justus, the last boss, called earth erosion is steadily progressing.

It appeared at this stage, five years before the start of the original work. It’s too early to think about it.

It wasn’t possible to appear without digesting the story to a certain extent as a production of the game, but in fact it is not without the probability that it existed from the beginning.

However, assuming the worst, it is possible that Justus’s plan is earlier than the original. If that happens, the original event will be advanced, and Harold will not know it.

Everything is not the same as the game. Why did you take pride in the fact that the story goes according to the game, even though you thought so?

Joined his Knights to spread antibody drugs in the Sumeragi territory.

If you say them, it’s the original work ahead of schedule. Harold’s deadly carelessness, which neglected the risk of accelerating the progress of the original.

(Wait, wait and calm down. I haven’t decided yet …)

Quietly breathe and keep calm. ..

The current idea is just the worst assumption. The story is not always early.

But you need to make sure.

Justus ・ Freund.

The scholar, which is ostensibly touted as a genius. However, the essence is a madman who allowed the destruction of the world in order to fulfill his ambitions.

And he is the person who led the original Harold to death.

If you want to follow the original, you have to make contact, but a dangerous person who was thinking that it could be avoided somehow.

You will not be able to obtain information unless you approach the other person yourself. It was too late when I realized it, and I have to take risks to prevent it from unfolding.

Harold’s final exam came to an end, with new and oversized anxiety factors emerging.
