Volume 1 - CH 37

Long ago, when Julis had just learned the sorceries of the deadly sins.

“Hey thee…… doth not ev’r useth yond thing again, und’rstand?”

Musée, his master, said to Julis at a hut deep in the forest that Julis often visited.

“……was it that dangerous?”

“Thee rememb’r not…… well, if’t be true thee behold at the corse of mineth and yours, thee’ll receiveth the gen’ral idea.”

“……you’re right.”

Julis was lying on the bed, bandages were wrapped here and there, and large black bruises were visible on his arms and face.

On the other side, Musée’s clothes were also in tatters────her body was unscathed, you could tell from the large amount of blood soaked into her clothes.

“Coequal the me didst h’r most wondrous to suppress thee…… and finally did get thee und’r controleth. Who is’t else couldst did shut thee down?”

“……Definitely. I can’t imagine whom.”

“Then, ev’r not useth t again.”

Musée opened her mouth with a serious face towards the bedridden Julis.

“I believeth t’s most wondrous yond thee’ve did develop such s’rc’ry…… howev’r, t’s way too pow’rful. Most wondrous pow’r is not a matt’r of one individual. ’twill certes involve the people ’round thee. Thee might not but learneth to controleth yourself a dram────especially, not with ang’r.”

These words remained in Julis’ memory to this day.

♦️♦️♦️

Julis’ sorcery────Ira.

It was a sorcery that is named after the deadly sin of wrath.

Anger and resentment. The emotional rage varies from person to person, sometimes it may be trivial, and sometimes it may be driven by violent emotions.

It was a sin that had its ups and downs, but Julis’ Ira was an uncontrollable sorcery that was triggered only when Julis himself felt the greatest anger────It was such a sorcery.

Its effect was disastrous────.

“GRRRRAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!”

(……Julis……-sama?)

Emilia slumped to the ground and raised her head toward him.

Although she had been touching that gentle yet powerful arms just a few minutes ago────now she felt the dreadful feeling even without touching them.

“It, it’s wonderful, isn’t it!? What’s with that body!? What’s with that ominousness!? That’s clearly a monster even from every angle!!!”

The man exclaimed gleefully, looking at the beast.

Throwing Cecilia aside, the man happily faced the beast with daggers in both hands.

(Is, is this Julis-sama……?)

Emilia could not hide her surprise at the reality before her.

A man appeared, and the moment Julis shouted, he was transformed into that ominous beast.

She could neither understand nor uttered a sound.

She was too cowed to stand up from the spot and just looked up at the beast.

“I feel it…… that you are worthy of being a sacrifice! Now, let me implant the factor in your BODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!”

“RRRAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!”

The beast cried out and the man flashed his dagger at the beast that was Julis.

He lowered his stance and swung the blade to slice the dagger, held backhanded, toward the beast’s leg.

However, although the blade touched its skin, it was too hard and was repelled.

“How tough are you, hey?”

Still, the man swung the dagger in his hand again and again. Yet still, the blade would not pass through.

And now the beast took the turn────

“GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!”

Facing the man moving at its feet, the beast swept its foreleg wide to the side.

Its movement was so fast that it did not match its huge physique. In addition, its power was tremendous.

“Cough.”

The man could not even avoid it, and when he was hit by the foreleg, he was blown far backward.

However, the man still did not fall.

“Maaan……, oh man man man man man man man man!”

Even though his mouth was bleeding, even though his arm was bent in a wrong direction, a smile appeared on his face.

A lunacy that felt no pain.

It was as if the man had truly become.

“GRRRRRRRR!!!!”

With a momentum that left no space, the beast reaped the trees and run toward the man again.

It was like a ravening wolf────it would never let its prey escape, it turned its fangs with a fierce yelp.

“Good! That’s good, you!”

But still the man run toward the beast.

Happily, with one broken arm dangling from his arm, he clutched his beloved dagger and confronted the beast.

The scene could be summed up in words of recklessness and brutality.

[GRRRRAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!]

“Wha, what the hell was that cry!”

Mirabelle, running through the forest, heard the roar of something intense.

Being an elf with good hearing, Mirabelle could not help but cover her ears.

“Has there ever been a monster that could make a voice like that!?”

“I don’t think there are any……. I mean, if there were, the Knight Orders or Subjugation Corps would have been dispatched instead of us doing practical training like this.”

Ricardo was surprised and Anastasia broke out in a cold sweat.

If there were powerful monsters living in this forest, knight orders or subjugation corps would have been formed by now to eliminate them, and there was no way that Anastasia and the other students would be doing practical training like this.

(Then what in the world is this monster with such a cry?)

Anastasia panicked inside.

Normally, she would have immediately launched a magic beacon to inform them of the danger, and they should leave this forest immediately.

However────

“Where did Julis go!?”

Anastasia and the others run through the forest while being impatient.

They have to escape right now, but their friend, Julis, had suddenly disappeared without a word and gone missing.

It was impossible not to be worried.

“Really, I wonder where he went…….!”

“Good grief…….!”

It was hard to believe that Julis would be beaten by any monsters.

However, various factors still drove Anastasia and the others to worry about his safety.

That is why, even now that a magic beacon had been launched and the roar of a monster had been heard, they were still looking for Julis in this way.

“Besides, Cecilia-chan and Emilia-chan were nowhere to be seen…….”

“I didn’t see Byrne either…….! The other party members were there, though!”

“Erm…… he’s definitely involved in something,……”

After Julis suddenly disappeared due to the spell of Superbia, Anastasia and the others saw the magic beacon that was launched and rushed to the spot.

They wondered if he might be there.

But when they arrived there, they found only Cecilia’s party members lying unconscious.

Although there was no external injury, there was no doubt that something had happened there.

Anastasia and the others were looking for not only Julis but also Cecilia and Emilia.

“What are the Caesar-sensei and others doing! It’s obvious that the situation is not right!”

“Indeed……”

The magic beacon was launched, but the lecturers, Caesar and the others, had not rushed to the scene.

That was unusual. From the point of view of Anastasia and the others, it was hard to believe that Caesar was asleep and foolish enough not to notice, which made the current situation even more unsettling.

However, no matter how much they looked around, they couldn’t find the three of them.

Therefore, Anastasia, determined, turned in the direction of the beast’s voice that she had been hearing for some time.

She turned her feet toward the dangerous place.

“If you dare and are determined to come, come with me! Julis and the others must be there!”

Leaving them behind, Anastasia ran.

She had searched this far. All that remained was the direction from which the voice was coming────and it was a place that was clearly dangerous.

Julis and the others were involved in something.

That was why she was not sure if they would be safe if they joined her in what she knew to be a dangerous place.

So, Anastasia gave them a choice and went towards the place.

(I will, absolutely refuse to abandon them!)

But────

“There’s no d*mn reason for me not to go!”

“Me too! I can’t leave Julis-kun and the others alone!”

Mirabelle and Ricardo follow behind Anastasia without hesitation.

Like Anastasia, they could not abandon them.

This made Anastasia happy, and her face was naturally brimming with smiles.
