Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 230.2
The goal of the Temple Knights was to believe the words of the Saint, to accept the actions of the King’s brother Amol, and to become his power. However, even though the King’s brother Amol’s goal was to [raise Ervan as the crown prince], they were not told what he would do with the immortal knights.
It would be easy to deal with just a few people, but it would be difficult for me to deal with hundreds of immortals. But if the trust in the Saint were to waver like this, her charm-like power would waver, and I would be able to think for myself.
Even if I told Rockwell’s father, the Grand Knight Commander, what had happened, it would only make the commotion bigger. Since I don’t know if it would be to Elena’s advantage, I would like to suppress it in secret if possible.
If having doubts like his would give me the rationality to question the success or failure of something… but–
“… ugh”
At that moment, he suddenly began to suffer.
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know… no, it’s not… this is!”
“–“
His eyes, with their senses back, began to change, this time not as if they were blindly believing, but as if they were not human at all. This is–
“Is it… immortality?”
I don’t know why. But it seems he had also undergone the immortalization procedure, and he had been suppressing it for some reason, but it began to eat away at him.
What is the reason?
“Maybe it’s because I’ve been released from the Holy Maiden’s curse…”
“Guaaaah!!”
The temple knight let out a beast-like cry, but still used his well-honed sword skills, swinging his sword in a flowing Iai.
Clang!!
“… Sleep now.”
I blocked his sword with a hidden weapon I took out of {Shadow Storage}, and then swung the black knife over my hand and cut off his neck. But at that moment-
“!”
His head flew through the air, and at the moment of slicing open his heart to deliver the final blow, something like a “bug” flew out of the wound to avoid the blade.
I quickly stepped back and slashed it away with my knife.
What is this? Could this really be… the true nature of “immortality”?
“…Is this how you do it?”
The nematode-like object that fell to the ground wriggled as if searching for something, and then dried up and stopped moving, and the temple knight’s body, now free of the bugs, disappeared, leaving behind the magic stone.
If the ability of the bug master to control corpses… was Amol’s {Gift}, then this was not immortality, but simply a dead body being controlled while still conscious. The regenerative power itself was probably just repaired by the bugs.
Perhaps his consciousness was due to his constitution being resistant to bugs. It could also be thought of as something that was simply suppressed by his willpower, and that he could no longer suppress it when his mind was broken, but the timing was too sudden.
The reason he suddenly became like that… It would not be strange if Saint Licia, the king’s brother Amol, or the demon who is still thought to exist, had planted it in him.
The saint eroded his mind, the king’s brother gave him a mysterious power, and the demon turned him into a dead soldier, not forgiving his betrayal.
This is no longer a proper battle. I don’t know how many people have received Amol’s power, but if the demon is also involved, killing Amol alone will not save them.
I prayed silently for the souls of those I killed, put on my cloak, and quietly left the city.
