Chapter 10 Anyway, it's night
"Did you just throw away my lunch casually, it's really getting more and more powerful, Title-kun......"
The boy's casual footsteps echoed through the empty space. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After breakfast, almost all of them chose to eat in their room, and their dinner was probably also served in the room. The boy couldn't stand Grey's gaze, so he made a random excuse and left the room.
The stone corridors are very quiet.
Facing outside, sometimes the wind blows in, and in early autumn it is a bit cold. The boy walked casually in the empty hallway. However, the boy did not know that this kind of walking, which had neither purpose nor goal, but was just for the sake of walking, had put all the other people in the room into a state of alert and even readiness. The strange sounds coming from the various rooms made the boy wonder if all of them were cats.
"So, do you want to go out and walk around?"
Anyway, it's a rare opportunity, so let's take a walk outside now, and I'm a tourist (wrong location). With this in mind, the teenager walked out of the door.
"Whew......"
It was late at night, and the only source of light was the full moon hanging in the sky. The soft glow gently sprinkles on the blooming flowers, making them shine brightly.
It may have been a night loved by many poets. The boy couldn't help but sigh.
Advance along the walls of the outer perimeter of the Stripping City, and the moon silently follows him. The subtle sound of stepping on the weeds and the earth seemed to show the way for the boy.
(It feels like it's been a long time since I've walked like this...... Although it was far from what I expected, the goal of relaxing was achieved. )
Sitting casually on the grass, leaning against the wall, the boy muttered to himself in the moonlight.
"It's so calm....... I really hope it lasts forever......"
Whew, the boy stretched his waist widely, should you sleep here like this....... at this moment.
[-- Just ask, the name of the angel.] 】
There was a hoarseness in my ears, and it even sounded like the sound of the wind rubbing.
You shouldn't be messing around...... The boy turned to the source of the sound with his dead fish's eyes—and before that, [that] had fallen from the top of the wall.
A loud sound rang out, and the impact of the fall on the ground and the large amount of dust that was kicked up went straight to the boy's face.
The moonlight shone on the monster, illuminating its figure from its head.
It is more than two meters tall and looks like a giant wolf or spider. The fur stained with blood and mud was like metal armor, and what was even more terrifying was that there was still a human aftertaste all over the body.
“………… Do you really look trendy, preparing for Halloween?"
I can't beat it, but I can block it. The boy speculated in his heart.
[――Ask the name of the angel.] 】
[That] let out a low growl.
[--If you can't answer, let me peel it off.] 】
In an instant, the beast roared.
As if awakened by the roar, the air surrounding the boy changed dramatically.
"Lean ......"
It's hot.
The air flow that surrounded the boy emitted a fierce heat that surpassed the flames.
The bandage will burn out. The boy slapped his right hand to the ground, and the rising wall of ice blocked the surrounding flames and protected the boy.
"So, what should I do next? I can use my offensive ability to visually detect that none of them can defeat it, and if I just use my physical ability to fight hard, my side will collapse first......"
Knock! Knock!
The air around him trembled from time to time, and the crazy attack even the teenager could imagine, and he would really gg if he continued like this.
“………… It's a masterpiece, I don't want to die......"
The boy whispered, letting his brain run wildly.
(Think...... Think about it...... It just says the name of the angel, which means that as long as you answer the correct name of the angel, you will be fine. But the important thing is which is the right one, and if it includes the fallen sky, it will be even worse! There is still time, in short, calm down first............ Huh?Fallen Heaven?)
“aladiah。 ”
The tremors stopped.
"Strip the city of Adra. Adela should be an abbreviation of the fallen angel Adramelec. ”
It was a wise choice to ask the uncle for his name before. The boy let out a deep breath and continued.
"But I don't know if the fallen angel is the answer. Since the question is about the name of the angel, we must find a way to turn back to the angel. ”
The boy recalled what he had heard under the table this morning.
“…… shemamphorae。 Pick out the three letters from the sacred verse and reconstruct the name of the angel. So, if it's ADRAMELEC, it's basically ADR, ADM, and ADL. Try to change the pronunciation of these in order as you did earlier...... Then the angel who coincides in the shemamphorae is aladiah. Ha, now that I think about it, it's as simple as a puzzle game for children. ”
The monster's unwilling roar came from outside the ice wall, and it seemed that it was really right. The boy exhaled deeply, relieved that he was the only one who had been attacked. Wait for tomorrow, no, wake them up now and tell them the answer......
Wait a minute.
“…………”
The restlessness in my heart is unpleasant, but I can't stop it no matter what. Before the brain cells, the accelerated blood flow and the erect cold hairs comprehended the gravity of the situation more quickly.
(Won't ......!)
The monster's aura is gone, and with it the possibility comes along.
Could it be that you weren't the first to walk out of the castle?
Could it be that I am the second encounterer today?
Could it be that the person the beast is asking questions about is another one in front of him?
Immediately unraveling the ice wall, the boy rushed towards the castle and turned on all the search skills he could use - sure enough, the monster had already arrived. Following the remnants of the breath, the boy entered the castle.
The answer is there.
The moonlight was falling through the skylight again.
The lobby that serves as a stairwell.
It is in the opposite direction from the foyer where all the people gathered at the beginning. In this quaint and extravagant castle, the air is particularly majestic. Judging by the piano and harp not far away, this must have been a place where beautiful music was played in the past.
What the boy looked at was the center of the lobby.
The stairwell was built because of this statue.
Huge statue of angel holding a sword and a scale. The boy knew about this angel. Michael the archangel who condemned the dead with that scale, and repelled the serpent (satan) with the sword, is undoubtedly one of the most famous angels.
“………………”
The teenager has noticed.
The smell was so thick that people weren't even allowed to look away.
This can be called blasphemy. Or, since it's in the realm of magicians, shouldn't it be called a blessing?
It is in order to declare the victory of faith that the angel holds aloft the holy sword.
What pierced the sword was-
“……………… Who?"
