The First Playthrough Heroine Remembers Her Assistant 218

Chapter 218 – Liana Lumenhark (8)

After running non-stop, I could see Tristan’s face far away from the entrance of the dormitory.

“Ha…Ha…Professor Tristan…The barrier…Deciphering…Ha…”

I am out of breath and my words cannot come out properly.

Then Tristan patted her on the shoulder and said.

“You don’t look like a horse, first, breathe evenly.”

Tristan said as I nodded and controlled my breathing.

“…The analysis of the barrier was finished a while ago.”
“Is that true?”

I asked again, widening my eyes.

I knew that Tristan was a master of barrier magic, but I didn’t know that she had already solved it.

Then Tristan continued with a firm expression.

“It is still too early to rejoice. All that was done was the interpretation of the barrier. We still need a lot more time to create the magic needed to break the barrier.”
“Ah…”

For example, is it a situation where the virus has been found, but a cure has yet to be found?

“How long will it take to unlock?”
“I can’t give you a definite answer right now, but judging from the structure of the barrier, 12 hours is necessary at the very least.”
“12 hours…”

I bit my lower lip hard.

I know that even 12 hours is incredibly fast.

If you can make a cure for a virus you have never seen before in 12 hours, even the word genius would be insufficient.

But in the current situation, a quicker solution was needed.

“Is there any other way?”

I had no choice but to ask even though I knew it was an unreasonable request.

Then, after thinking for a moment, Tristan spat out with a deep sigh.

“…There is one. However, if you use this method, you will never be able to escape until the barrier is lifted. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you know what will happen inside.”
“It doesn’t matter. Please.”

I have crossed dangerous bridges many times so far to back down at such warnings.

“That’s not the only problem… This method will be extremely painful.”
“I will bear it.”

I had to endure it.

If we don’t stop Liana now, we don’t know what consequences this world will face.

“It’s not a level of pain that I can put so simply. If you do it wrong, your mind may be broken!”

Tristan shouted with a distressed expression, as if recalling a memory of the day.

“…But I will endure it.”

But my answer has not changed.

Then Tristan, who had trembled his fists, spoke as if he had given up.

“… I see. Then take off your top and sit here.”
“Yes. Professor.”

As he was told, he was undressed and sat down, and Tristan opened his mouth.

“From now on, I will carve the same barrier on your back as the one in the dormitory. In this way, you will be able to enter without disabling the barrier.”

Rather than breaking the barrier, did they pass through it by making their body a part of the barrier?

I thought I knew a lot about this world in my own way, but in a way I never thought of.

“But it is not easy to engrave a barrier on a living human body. When you move or scream, the spell distorts. If that happens, there is no other way than rewriting the spell from scratch.”

Having said that, Tristan stopped talking for a moment and looked me in the eyes.

“However, I can only engrave this barrier with my magic power once. Do you understand what I mean?”

Even in the pain of going crazy, I can’t move or scream.

I nodded and answered.

“You only get one chance.”
“Okay. It is only once.”
“That’s enough. Then please begin.”
“… I see.”

The next moment, Tristan’s hand landed on my back his.

“───!!”

A silent hell has begun.

**

The rooftop of the dormitory was so quiet that it was hard to believe that it was a place where magic had been pouring down just a moment ago.

“…”

Lucia glaring at her princess with her whole body in tatters.

On the other hand, Liana was still standing the same way as the first time.

No, if you look closely, it’s a little different, but it’s different.

Because the hem of her princess’s dress her had been cut off and fluttered.

‘I was surprised.’

Looking at the hem of her dress her, Liana smiled.

[Lower magic cannot exceed higher level magic.]

A rule known to anyone with even the slightest interest in magic.

However, it was also a rule that was rarely applied in practice.

Even if it’s the same magic, each person’s understanding of magic and control is different.

However, in theory, if the skill at handling magic was equal, it was only natural that the one with the most magical power would win.

Lucia and Riana were like that.

Their capacities as mages are almost identical.

However, the difference in magic power was too great.

Of course, Lucia’s magic power is also one of the best in Carnea, but it is only within the human range.

On the other hand, Liana’s magical power her far exceeded the range that humans could possess.

Like this, there was a difference in the level of magic that could be cast as much as the difference in magical power, and the result was Lucia’s overwhelming defeat of her.

‘Sensory Synchronization…’

But in the end, Lucia used sensory synchronization.

The technique that squeezed through the cracks in her consciousness her took away Liana’s control over her body her, albeit for a moment.

Of course, she did n’t panic and quickly broke the synchronization, so it ended with the hem of her clothes being cut off …

In any case, there was no doubt that Lucia had taken a hit.

‘…But that’s it.’

Sensory synchronization is obviously a great skill.

However, it was also a technique that would not work twice as long as he was conscious of it.

“So is this over?”

Liana asked, tilting her head.

Lucia politely nodded his chin.

“Why? Judging by the remaining magic power, I’m sure you can still attack at least one more time, right?”
“Because it won’t work anyway.”

Even the trump card of sensory synchronization was destroyed, but Lucia remained calm as always.

“Ah, I knew from the beginning that it wouldn’t work.”
“…”

With Lucia’s ability her, she would have known that victory or defeat was decided from the beginning.

‘…But if I’m going to give up now, why did I bother?’

With a trivial question, Liana’s fingertips aimed at Lucia…

“Then go downstairs. Lucia Urella. It was enjoyable in its own way.”

She then waved her hand as she aimed at her, and gave her a celebration order.

“…You mean she just let me go?”
“Why? If it’s sad to just let go, should I cut off an arm?”
“…”
“Hey, don’t look at me like that. Because it’s a joke. It’s better to kill the Imperial Moon than to make it that way. And she said it from the beginning. I have no intention of killing you now.”

It was sincere.

Because the voice couldn’t be heard in Liana’s head right now.

If she had heard a voice, it would have been difficult for her to control her killing urges her.

“Then go, before I change my mind.”
“…”

Jump-

The moment Lucia turned her back on Liana’s words.

Awesome—!

The air was ripped apart, and someone with an ominous body appeared.

“Distorted… Desire.”

When the words she called herself came out of Lucia’s mouth, her gaze of ‘twisted desire’ turned to Lucia.

“…Hmm. She’s It’s a girl I’ve seen before.”

A voice scratching metal with nails.

The ‘distorted desire’ that she pondered for a while snapped her fingers as if she realized something.

“Your Urella’s next head of household!Haha! Lucky you! To meet you here! I have to deal with it!”

At that moment, ‘distorted desire’ threw her curse at Lucia.

Quaang-

Caught between Lucia and ‘Twisted Desire’, Liana deflected her curse.

“Princess… Why are you blocking it? Are you going to betray me?”
“…Leave Lucia alone. Because she promised to let her go without killing her.”

‘Twisted Desire’ and Liana glared at each other.

“…Don’t play around. Not even an oath of mana, but a simple promise to save Urella’s kicker? Do you know how much that bitch will interfere with our plans in the future!”
“You look like you’re kidding me? And you are responsible for letting Lucia go.”
“My responsibility?”
“Yes, if you had come a little sooner, you wouldn’t have said that. That’s too bad. You should have come sooner.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! That’s your plan…”
“Four years…? He must have told me to call her Her Highness her the Princess. How many times do you have to say it for me to understand?”

The moment he saw Liana raise her magical powers, his twisted desire her also took a combat stance, but …

‘…Is it a monster?’

The ‘twisted desire’ trembled.

Looking at the state of the roof, you can see that a fierce battle was unfolding just a moment ago.

Even after using that much of her magical power her, Liana’s magical power her was still immense to the point of not being able to know the depth.

Even though she didn’t want to understand, she couldn’t help but understand why ‘He’ favored her Liana.

In the end, ‘Distorted Desire’, which released its combat stance first, glared at Lucia and spit out her words.

“…Get out of here. Female.”

At those words, Lucia passed by Liana and asked a small question.

“Why… Are you saving me?”

She said that Riana would let her go, but as her ‘twisted desire’said, it was just her non-binding promise her.

However, Liana let Lucia go until she confronted her ‘distorted desire’ of her.

Then Liana answered with a faint smile.

“Well? I guess you don’t want to be hated.”
“…”

I don’t want to be hated.

Does that mean you don’t want to be hated by anyone?

Liana’s face her brushed her head for a moment, but she shook her head and shook her head.

Again – again –

‘Twisted Desire’ grew as he confirmed that Lucia had descended her stairs.

“Princess… Don’t forget her leash her around your neck. This is the last time I’ll be mean…”
“…”

Contrary to what she usually does, when Liana did n’t respond, her ‘twisted desire’ her also started to create cracks while keeping her mouth shut.

After a while like that.

Damn-

Just like when ‘Twisted Desire’ appeared, the air was torn and cracks appeared.

“Go in.”

Moving slowly toward her crack, Liana paused to survey the entire landscape of Carnea.

‘This is the end.’

It was strange.

She thought there was no such thing as regret, but for some reason her steps her did not fall.

“…What are you doing? Cracks of this level cannot be maintained for long. Hurry up.”

As ‘Twisted Desire’ urged in an annoyed voice, Liana moved her feet again.

‘…You know.’

There’s no way she can come.

Liana, because she put up a barrier to prevent anyone from entering.

Even if he did appear miraculously, it would be too late to turn it back.

As if convincing herself, Liana’s toes were about to touch the crack, reflecting on the situation once again.

“…Princess…Your Highness!”

Shouldn’t be heard

An inaudible voice was heard.

“…Her Highness the Princess!”

I thought it was an auditory hallucination, but I heard his voice her again.

Liana unknowingly grabbed and held her body her as she tried to look back at her.

‘Well…I endured it.’

You shouldn’t look back.

If she looks back, she will stop.

Liana, biting her lip, is about to take her last step.

Her Eugene, who took a step ahead of him, shouted with all his might.

“Liana Lumenhark!”
