Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 190.3

Exceeding the speed limit of a human, I ran through the dozens of [Ice Lance] and struck Carla’s throat with my black knife, causing her entire body to be covered in “black thorns” and transforming her into a hideous monster-like figure.

[Carla Lester][Race: Human Female][Rank 5]

[Magic Power: ?/590][Strength: 45/52][Total Combat Power: 1711]

[Total Combat Power: 1711 (Special Combat Power: 4906)]

*Ginn!!

“Aha?”

Carla’s blackened arm repelled the knife blade, and a black fist was thrown at me at high speed, blowing my body away, which was protected by my armor.

The moment I landed on the floor, I immediately dodged Carla’s kick shattered the stone floor.

Having evaded just in time, Carla and I pointed our fingertips at each other at the same time in the gently scattering fragments of thought-acceleration.

“”–[Phantom Pain]–“”

We released the same magic, at the same time, but when I who received Carla’s [Phantom Pain], was hit by a “pain” that could be described as the pain of death, and I was kicked away by Carla at that moment.

“Kuh…”

“Gufu…is that all you’ve got?”

As I fell, Carla, who vomited blood from her mouth while releasing her thorns, pointed a ball of fire from her hand towards me.

However, Carla extinguished the flames in an instant, and she easily turned on her heel, not even wiping the blood from her mouth that stained her white dress.

“That was fun, Aria, I hope the next time we meet, you’ll be a little better.”

“…”

With a carefree, childlike smile on her face, Carla said this and disappeared using [Teleport] as if nothing had happened.

“…This is Carla’s “pain”…huh?”

I could understand Carla’s hatred for the world being greater than her death if she was always living under that pain.

I collapsed on my back and reach for the stars. …It was so far away. I got a glimpse of Rank 5 Carla. And she went easy on me, only using level 3 and below magic.

It seems like I had been too lax. It was no wonder she pointed it out to me.

I had to seek “strength” for the sake of my [Oath] with Elena and my [Promise] with Carla, even if it meant losing my body and mind. But I had to return to Elena first, I also had to save Camille’s life, and above all, I had to [Live]. Above everything else, I prioritized trying to stay alive, and as a result, I had not yet achieved the strength I sought.

That was the difference between me and Carla, who had overcome even death.

It was difficult to win against that… really hard. I couldn’t win with the way I was. But–

“I remember the promise…Carla.”

I squeezed my hand that I extended to the sky.

[–It looks like it’s over–]

“…yeah.”

I raised myself up, and the spirit’s presence appeared again, speaking to me.

“…Is that Carla’s ‘wish’?”

[–I was interfered with, but I was able to speak to that person before she left. The reason I sent you in front of her was indeed because she wished for you–]

I understood from the beginning. Carla, who had no wish or desire, must have substituted that for a “wish” by sending me to face her, who was about to interfere within the spirit.

I would like to ask her to leave me out of this, but even this might seem decent, a spirit was still a spirit…

[–I’m sure I’ve caused you trouble. As a reward for that, I will grant you not a “wish” but a “desire” that brought you to this place–]
