Transformation

Berg feels frustrated by the suddenness of the event.

It’s been a while since they took down Jack.

Suddenly, the entire school town was covered by a mysterious ward.

At the same time, a kind of wolfsbane begins to rise from all over the school.

The school district changed its appearance drastically, becoming dark and bizarre.

Berg was confused, but only at first.

Immediately, they start working to get things back on track.

First, he started running towards the wolfsbane.

As they approach the wolfsbane, the fog gets deeper and visibility becomes more difficult.

Then, as he continued through the thicker fog, his head ached badly and he began to feel dazed.

Berg thinks it’s a bad idea to breathe in the fog, so he holds his hand over his mouth.

However, the pain in his head did not subside and he crouched there.

The headache instantly disappears and he becomes more aware.

He doesn’t know what caused it, but for the moment, the danger is over.

If this fog were to spread to the entire school district, it would cause considerable damage.

We have to stop this.

And so, at last, Berg reached the source of the black fog.

“Is this a miasma?”

There is a huge gray stone, over a meter in diameter.

It was a demon miasma stone that he had seen many times before, but its size was far too large.

Black mist continues to be emitted from the magic miasma stone.

Berg guesses that this mist is probably the miasma.

He took a swing with his sword and broke the demon miasma stone, and the black mist overflowing from the demon miasma stone stopped.

However, right after that -.

With a snarl, Berk notices a presence approaching from behind.

When he turned around, there was a demon… a demon whose body was purple and swollen.

Berg grips the sword, then unleashes a sharp flash.

He put a deep cut in the belly of the monster, …… bright blood danced.

The monster falls on its back and groans.

But soon, it stops moving and disappears into ashes.

“Why is there a demon here ……”

Just as Berg let his voice trail off, he spotted a male student wobbling nearby.

He holds his neck, his face contorted in pain.

Berg asked, “Are you okay?” as he approached, and a moment later–.

The male student’s body began to expand and transformed into a figure similar to the demon that Berk had slayed earlier.

No way, this is ……

The change is so sudden and the transformation so ugly.

Berg recalls an incident involving Owen from long ago.

In the first year of elementary school, a demon appeared in the commercial area and went on a rampage.

He says that the demon’s true identity was Dominic, and that he had taken the form of a purple-skinned monster.

Although he had not been there, Berg thought that the same phenomenon was happening right in front of him.

The student who became a monster attacked Berg.

Berg swung his sword and with a single blow, cut off the head and stopped the monster’s breathing.

‘I don’t care if it was a person or not, I will not show mercy.’

When it looks like this, the best course of action is to kill it.

Berg offers a light, silent prayer.

He then ran off to stop the source of the miasma that had been set up elsewhere.

Shouts and screams rang out, and the entire school district was in a panic.

In the meantime, Berg runs around the school for a while.

This is the fifth one. ……

Berg slashes and swears at the student who has become a monster.

There is no end to the monsters that appear one after another, even if he cut them down.

If we can cut off the source of all the miasma, this nightmare should be over.

That’s when Berg destroyed yet another source of miasma in the school district.

Space twisted at the edge of his vision – directly from the crack in space, a blonde girl appeared.

“Natalie?”

Berg is not optimistic enough to be relieved that Natalie is back in one piece.

She was clearly acting strangely, and the intimidation she was radiating almost caught Berg off guard.

Something that’s Natalie and not Natalie…

An unspeakable anxiety surged in Berg’s chest.

“You’re …… who?”

Berg turns to something in Natalie’s skin… and asks in horror.

But there was no reply.

On the middle finger of her right hand is a ring that Berg has never seen before.

Natalie moved her head and turned her gaze to Berg.

Berg and Natalie’s gazes meet.

Natalie’s mouth moved, emotionlessly.

From Berg’s position, he can’t hear her.

But Berg saw the blue ball on her middle finger glimmer.

Watch out–

Berg’s instincts ring alarm bells and he applies physical enhancements.

At that moment, the air in front of Berg’s eyes was compressed and exploded with a roar.

Berg had gotten out of the way beforehand by flying wide backwards.

A blast of wind blows through the area.

Natalie is staring blankly at Berg.

Her blue eyes were filled with an endlessly deep darkness.

Just looking at her makes him feel like he’s going to shake.

Even though Berg didn’t have a full grasp of the situation, he knew that stopping Natalie was his top priority.

Then he runs off to Natalie.

However, immediately after, as if to stop his sprint, more than ten magic circles appeared from the sky.

From the magic circle, a gray bullet is released.

Berg moves his body to avoid the shot.

And then, the next moment, he blocked the bullet that was about to hit his body with his sword.

“……. ……”

It proved fatal, and immediately afterwards, from all sides, gray bullets struck.

One by one, Berg’s body is hit by bullets.

Every time they hit him, Berg has a hard time breathing and his body becomes heavier.

“But …… is not …….”

Finally unable to withstand gravity, Berg put his hands on the ground.

Natalie takes one look at Berg and opens her mouth.

Then the ring on her middle finger gleamed blue again.

Immediately after, the space in front of Berg’s eyes is distorted and compressed.

Berg is impatient and tries to escape but his body is too heavy and he can’t move from the spot.

And so, just before the atmosphere explodes–

“Kage no Raiden Hexagonal Barrier”

A shield of lightning clad in shadow appeared in front of Berg’s eyes.

Immediately after that, the earth rumbles.

The earth wobbled and the atmosphere trembled.

The impact lasted for a while, and the shield crumbled away in tatters, but Berk was not harmed.

The shield disappears, and then Berg looks around.

Except for the area of the berg, which was protected by shields, the landscape was completely changed and showed signs of horrific destruction.

The blow was so severe that it sent a chill down Berg’s spine.

“Are you okay?”

At some point, Julian, who was standing nearby, spoke to Berg.

Yes, Berg almost answered, but stopped short of saying it.

It was a close call. ……

If not for Julian’s help, Berg would have been badly injured.

Worst case scenario, he could have died.

As soon as he thought that, the fear came over me.

“Can you fight?”

Berg responds to Julian’s question with a shake of his head.

“But what’s the situation with this: ……”

Julian pierces Natalie with his gaze.

“I don’t know, Natalie came out of nowhere and attacked me.”

Berg doesn’t know any better.

Julian wrinkled his brow.

“Then we’ll have to take Natalie down.”

Berg agrees with Julian.

“It’s hard to take down my friend Natalie, but I don’t have time to think of any other way.”

While they were talking like that, Natalie began to fly slowly.

“No way. …… flying magic ……”

It is a magic that is synonymous with Owen.

However, there are women who have made flight magic possible in the past.

“It’s–”

“The —- Witch.”

Berg mutters.

“It’s getting nastier.”

Julian gave Natalie a stern look.

Natalie releases her magic – and at that moment, the two of them scatter in different directions.

Thus began the battle of Natalie versus Berg and Julian.
