Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 149.3
“–[High Heal]–!”
In a room of the temple in the royal capital, the burns of the maiden of the Order who had been half-burned by Carla were healed as soon as she saw them by Ursula’s Recovery Magic.
The speed of the heal was remarkable, as she is called a saint, but when Carla, still holding the maiden’s arm, smiles deeply, flames erupting from her hand again burn the body of the maiden who was about to be healed.
“Kiyaaa!!!”
The Maiden of the Order, who should have killed her emotions, screamed at the infernal torment of being burned while being healed, and while everyone was too pressured by the bizarre scene to move, the flames finally prevailed and burned the Maiden’s body until it was erased.
“How did you, the poison…”
The sweat pouring from the members of the team was not only due to the heat that filled the room.
In response to Ursula’s question, Carla gulped down the poisoned tea with ease and returned the same smile as before, brushing soot from her hands.
The poison from the cefriore flower in the tea had a muscle-relaxing effect and could be used as a medicine in small doses. In large doses, it could affect the internal organs of the body and could be fatal to someone like Carla, who had a weak heart.
The cefriore flower poison was a nasty poison for magicians, as even a small amount would paralyze their mouths, making them unable to cast spells. That was why considering fighting alone, Carla had been consuming poison mainly from those that would be dangerous to her and had improved her resistance to it.
But it was not only because of her poison resistance skills that Carla was able to resist this poison.
“Hold her down! She can’t continue to cast her spells properly!”
At Ursula’s words, the hardened maidens of the teaching corps moved to ready their Needle Daggers, and Carla, still sitting on the sofa, uttered a few words without a sound.
[Did they not see that I used magic without a spell?]
To use Magic, one had to cast a spell.
Even if one understood the meaning of the spells and acquired the magic that was chantless, one would still need the activation word.
Ursula and her colleagues could only believe in their common sense when Carla used Magic, thinking that they simply did not hear the activation word…. They thought that even if simple Magic could be used as magic, it would be difficult to pronounce the correct activation word in a melee battle.
But that was not the right choice. The reason why [Combat Skill], which was a non-attribute magic, could be triggered even by a demon’s yell was because the meaning of the triggering word could simply be activated by an accurate image of the word.
Even with the Poison Resistance Skill, it would be difficult to counteract it completely. As Ursula said, Carla was not yet able to use Magic at its full potential. But if she could repeat it hundreds or thousands of times, and as long as she had an accurate image of it, she could activate it just like a Combat Skill, even if it would be a little less efficient.
Even if her muscles become relaxed, she could forcefully manipulate her body with the Soul Thorns.
She could also use [Treatment] completely without chanting, and eliminate the remaining toxins in her body.
The maidens in motion unleashed their blows on Carla’s shoulders, arms, and other parts of her body that were missing vital points.
Even Ursula and the other members of the Holy Church’s teaching team did not have the authority to kill the young lady who had become the Crown Prince’s fiancée at their discretion. The plan was to lock up the problematic Carla, “educate” her with drugs and magic, and then release her, forcing her to withdraw as the Crown Prince’s fiancée.
However, Carla Lester was not sane enough to be stopped by such a half-hearted attack.
“””!?”””
The pattern of black thorns wriggles against Carla’s white skin, and her body, controlled by the thorns, leaped to avoid the attack.
Soul Thorns–Even though the church knew that Carla had acquired a Gift that enhanced her Magic, they did not assume that it would affect her physical abilities as well.
Ursula and the others, who thought that Carla was just a magician, no matter how strong she was, looked up at Carla who had avoided the attack by flying around the room, and at that moment, Ursula jumped back when she sensed the enormous amount of magic power generated in Carla’s hands, which were spread out.
“Everyone, get back!”
“–[Fire Ball]–“
The room roars with flames, and the three maidens were turned to charcoal as they were burned up without even a scream.
“Oh my lord…!”
Using fire Magic indoors was insane. In the room engulfed in flames, only Ursula, who was clad in mithril fiber vestments and had previously used level 4 Light Magic – [Blessing], which increased physical and magic resistance, survived and screamed angrily.
Carla, who had protected herself from the flames with only her own magic power, appeared out of the flames, glanced at Ursula, who had survived, and looked around curiously.
“If no one else is showing up after all this time, do you think they’ve moved them somewhere else?”
Ursula moved the unaware priests from the temple to the chapel’s quarters in case there was a battle in the capture of Carla. It was not difficult to move only the lower priests and orphans, who were originally given their own rooms in the temple.
Carla confirmed that there was no sign of any human in the temple by releasing her own magic, but she suddenly felt a magic presence in a deep place and turned her gaze to the floor.
“Oh, there they are, down there, huh?”
“You!”
Ursula’s eyes widen, and she takes up her concealed mace, fleshing out the flames.
*Dogon!!
The mace blow shattered an oak table that was engulfed in flames, causing Carla to leap back to sneer at Ursula, as Carla dived through the burnt-out door and into the hallway.
“Is it this way?”
“Wait!”
Ursula followed Carla. She was unable to catch up with Carla, and for the first time, a hint of impatience appeared on Ursula’s face.
