In a World Where Dirty Cartoons Are Legal 349

Chapter 349 – Volume 70 – Project Pass (4)

The enemy extracts the most important thing from the past.

Even if just one of the pieces that satisfy me now disappears.

Like dominoes, the present falls.

“What the hell is this… ?”

The demon, which was supposed to be the enemy, stopped as if it was broken, and only shook its trembling body.

It was reacting as if a dead body was experiencing rigor mortis.

By making the enemy lose the ‘pieces of the past’ for a moment.

A powerful attack that renders the enemy incapable of combat.

It was the result of a risky gamble of creating something instinctively and using it on the spot.

It was clear that the gamble was won.

“Okay, attack now and crush it!”

But the attack did not work.

This is because by eliminating important things from the past, the present has been destroyed as if it does not exist.

On the contrary, we in reality could not interfere with the fictional present that was already broken and not functioning.

“This is a technique that prevents the enemy from moving. Let’s take advantage of the opportunity now to regroup.”

But that doesn’t mean it’s not effective.

If you control as small a piece as possible, you can stop the enemy for a long time with only a small amount of magic consumption.

During the time secured, you can prepare your allies or prepare traps to feed the enemies as soon as they return.

“Is it very difficult?”

“It’s a good thing.”

Due to the nature of my ability, it is difficult to receive help from other buffers or healers while the ability is activated.

Even though it was difficult, it was a situation where I had to endure it alone.

… Still, the balance was good excluding me, so just by buying a little time, the tide began to turn.

“One, buff!”

“Yes!”

Hitori deliberately pushes his body to the limit, pushing it to a state where it is no longer possible to fight.

In that state, you receive one buff and build up the power you can exert to the maximum.

It is a flame that only those who are at the end can see.

A huge force that shines at the end, but that no one can predict.

So, this must be the power of the last breath that is cut off.

“Hwajeoljang(和绝张)…!”

In front of the enemies who started to move as my skills were released.

A huge firepower that no one expected pours down, and people begin to lose their lives in a single blow.

Although Hitori’s firepower is as high as his self-harm value.
When using Hwajeoljang, you can demonstrate enormous power that no one can imitate.

… The problem is that if you hit it wrong, you die right away.

“Are you okay?”

“Oh, it hurts.”

Cutting down an ally with a sword created with divine power, the act of cutting kills the pain and wounds and heals them…

Although it is a bizarre recovery technique that only Loammi possesses.

In such an urgent situation, it is very advantageous to be able to quickly apply recovery effects in quick succession.

“Hehe… Really, I survived thanks to May.”

“I see. What would have happened to her if she hadn’t been May…”

“I’m glad everyone is safe.”

My legs gave out, and I sat down.

If anyone had been wronged, I would never have been able to forgive myself.

I feel like my whole body is losing strength with relief.

“It’s hard…”

“Still, we protected a lot of people.”

It was a bit close, though.

Thanks to the efforts of heroes, we were able to protect the world without any sacrifice.

And I was able to protect those heroes safely.

“Something feels strange. Yesterday, people recognized me and asked for my autograph…”

“Did you see our story drawn as a spinoff on Project Pass recently?”

“I think he drew it based on what we talked about when he was called in before… But honestly, it feels very strange.”

“The main character shouldn’t be like that.”

Let’s say he’s the main character.

In the end, I am not a hero, but just a strange person who wants to protect heroes.

… Well, you could say that it actually suits the main character.

“Well, I guess it will be as you said.”

“An atmosphere that recognizes passers, that is, warriors?”

“Yes, as much as we risked our lives to protect it. A world where we can receive this kind of recognition when we return alive.”

In the past, warriors were not treated like this, so they may be more fearful.

However, you may have to get used to this part.

According to what you said, this was our natural right.

“Oh, are those really juniors?”

“I see. It’s already that time.”

I remember the first time I entered the academy.

When I didn’t know anything, it was just a place I arrived at as if I was running away.

Now, I am maintaining my position as a passer-by serving one person properly.

“… Huh?”

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s a call. And that includes all second years.”

Since quite a few people have died or been expelled, there are not many second years left.

However, after seeing our firepower, many first-year students applied.

Maybe by next year we will be able to breathe again.

To be honest, I have overcome the hurdle of death several times now.

I am fighting by reducing my rest time as much as possible.

I don’t think I’ll be able to do this in about 2 years because I’ll be exhausted.

This may be why they said they should treat us even better.

By seeing that, new passers must be created, so that the number of people who can protect this difficult life will increase.

… Well, I heard there was a time when they forced people to do it through threats.

The current empire strictly prohibits such actions.

“… I feel uneasy about something.”

“What?”

“Oh, that’s not true. It feels different from when I canceled the future.”

This was really just anxiety.

If the demons are related to people’s anxiety as rumored,

It is explained in reverse that the situation in which this anxiety arises is itself a very dangerous situation.

On the other hand, I thought that anxiety might be a reliable sensation.

“This is…!”

“Wait a minute. If this place explodes.”

“The entire academy is dangerous. Especially the first years who have no powers.”

“What about evacuation?”

“We are preparing, but we will be late. The coverage area is too large.”

And it seems like the anxiety was true.

We were given a mission that was virtually impossible.

A dungeon that has already failed to be conquered, and now there is no way to stop it.

The dungeon was originally supposed to target a specific city when the time limit expired.

Naturally, the Academy was planning to completely evacuate and annihilate the place.

However, suddenly the dungeon underwent additional mutations and turned into a larger dungeon.

As things changed, the places to aim for when failing naturally also changed.

Because the fact was discovered too late, the academy, the target, was now in a dangerous situation.

“Why did you leave it unattended? If anything, we could have gone and resolved it…”

“That might have been the case in the beginning, but with the current number of people, it’s impossible.”

In a dungeon, regardless of the difficulty level, there is an advantageous composition that requires many people to participate.

It is said that this dungeon was like that.

However, the number of surviving second-year students in the academy could never be accommodated.

So, it is said that they decided that it would be better to deal with the ones that came out after the dungeon was destroyed at a later date.

“If there had been a few more passers, this dungeon would have been cleared…”

The problem was lack of personnel.

… If only there were as many talented second-year students as there are currently first-year students.

If so, would anything have changed?

“So, what are we going to do?”

“I hope Ares takes as much time as possible.”

Academy students are the future of passers.

Protecting that future is what we must do.

Therefore, our 2nd graders hold on to the front line, giving the 1st graders time to escape.

“We are moving it quietly so as not to cause as much confusion as possible. It will probably cause chaos once it starts.”

That’s why Ares, who can be said to be the best at blocking in the Academy, is on the front lines.

We support Ares, so he can last as long as possible.

… And when all the first years run away, we retreat and reorganize.

After maintenance, we will eventually subdue it.

It would be right to just do our best for rescue now.

“Ha, my bad premonition is exactly right.”

“It’s okay. There won’t be any major problems this time either.”

“I hope so.”

… But wasn’t it for no reason that we were chosen to kill time rather than annihilate?

As soon as the dungeon began to invade reality, we had to fight with all our might.

Reduce the enemy with firepower, and at the same time, waste the enemy’s attacks.

Even if we do this, I feel like we will be so overwhelmingly pushed back that we will have to run away right now rather than defend and hold on.

… This is dangerous.

“Ugh!?”

Basically, demons become stronger as time passes.

Every time, a unique variant pops up and bothers me.

The demons in this dungeon feel like they are standing at the end.

All the demons you can see are those registered at the highest level as dangerous.

There are even quite a few variations that I have never seen before.

They are pushing it in with such a different number of people…

“Gongsang Flower”

Illumination of fantasy, with the best technology of Ares.

A shield shaped like a blooming flower that won’t back down no matter how difficult it is.

In other words, it is a special move used when all the defenses you have prepared do not work.

‘But that doesn’t mean you’re invincible.’

The problem with that shield is that it doesn’t back down.

As long as you activate it, unless Ares dies, that shield blocks enemies.

… As powerful as it is, if you don’t block it, you will die.

“Ares…!”

“Pfft!”

And Ares, who really took out that shield, is being pushed back.

No, it bounces back and falls due to the overwhelming firepower.

… It’s hopeless.

“Aaaaah!”

“Hi!?”

When Ares falls, monsters invade the first-year students whom Ares was protecting.

First graders literally begin to be ‘massacred’ by monsters.

The future of the passer and the future hero are fading away.

“…”

I didn’t want it to end like this.

No matter how many times I try, I have protected the heroes.

I became a passer not to see scenes like this.

“I don’t like it…”

That’s why I closed my eyes.

If this future is true, just disappear.

Become something that never existed.

“Please, if someone can hear my voice…”

Please change this cruel future.

That is my only wish.
