Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 212.3
The demon sneered at him with the face of his eldest son, and while using the knight and the Magic user, whose heads were being bitten and convulsed, as a shield, it opened the mouth of the boy, who still had an innocent look, like a snake.
“No good!”
When he saw that the demon’s mouth was full of a large amount of miasma, he tried to extinguish the Fire Ball and step back before it was spat out, but a white, delicate hand grabbed his arm and stopped him.
“Oh, my, are you running away, Father?”
“Carla!?”
Count Lester’s eyes widened as his daughter smiled at him, as if to admonish his family for making a mistake.
Carla, with a smile on her face, smashed the {Fire Ball} her father had created into the black miasma that the demon had spat out, using her father’s arm as a battering ram, even though Count Lester had put all his strength into it, and it didn’t budge.
Dooon!
“Aaaaaaah!?”
The raging miasma and flames engulfed several of the knights and magic users nearby, and Count Lester, who had lost an arm and was screaming like an animal, rolled to the ground, engulfed in flames and miasma.
“–{Soul Thorn}–”
From the miasma and the flames, Carla, whose entire body was covered in black thorns, stepped forward and crushed the charred arm of her father, which was still in her hand.
“Aha?”
{Carla Lester}{Race: Human?}{Rank 5}
{Magical Power: ?/590}{Stamina: 24/52}
{Total Combat Power: 1711 (Special Combat Power: 4906)}
{Gift: Soul Thorn Exchange/Life Time}
The demon, whose eyes had been blinded by the magic of the explosion, jumped back in alarm at the strange appearance of the “monster” and its vast magical power, but Carla’s magic was unleashed a moment before that.
“–{Thunderstorm}–”
The activation of the Level 7 {Thunderstorm} caused dark clouds to form in the starry sky instantly, and the lightning that descended from the heavens pierced the demon.
Although the damage to the castle was limited to a small area, not a wide area, more than ten knights and magic users who were there were caught up in the storm.
The demon, who had been caught off guard, took a direct hit and tried to get away, but Carla, who had jumped in at the right moment, struck her fist covered in thorns into the face of the brother she had killed before.
Bakin!
The demon, with its face smashed, took a long distance to the top of the castle spire, and glared at Carla with its cracked stone mask.
“…Kill…”
“Hmph, fine. I’ll definitely ‘eat’ you as well.”
The demon, having heard Carla’s declaration, disappeared into the darkness of the night.
As the surviving knights gasped in fear, wondering if the demon had really retreated, Carla heard a faint voice.
“You… you demon.”
“You’re mistaken, Father. Even though your daughter is so glad you’re alive.”
Even though the flames had helped to offset the damage to some extent, seeing her father with one arm missing and his whole body burned and scarred, Carla’s face broke into a smile, the thorns on her face melting away.
Her smile really did look like that of a daughter who was happy to see her father alive, but the situation was just too bizarre. If the old butler who looked after her had seen it, he would probably have answered her feelings like this…
It was as if she were happy to see him alive because she was going to kill him with her own hands…
“Then, please take care of yourself, Father. Fufufu.”
As even Count Lester, who had survived and was on the verge of death, watched without a word, Carla, whose dress had burned away, left in a leisurely manner, revealing her limbs, which had grown with magic, covered only in black thorns.
“Gofu…”
When she reached a place where there was no one around, Carla, who had coughed up blood, narrowed her eyes as if smiling while putting on the cloak she took out of {Shadow Storage}.
“I’m getting stronger again… you know? Aria.”
