#6 Their story: Aris ril Letias story [Subtitle: I saw the devil 3]
The silver devil looked as her right hand as if amazed, and then smiled as if she was amused as she lifted up her left hand.
Hey unni, try ta block this too!
Wham!
Hwwwwuh?!
It really was a devil! This thing was definitely a devil!
The fearso pain that broke through the shield drew a whine from my tightly clenched lips.
Impossible. Blocking that pain as a human is absolutely impossible!
-Y, you can do it Aris!
Although the goddess is cheering
on, its too late.
My legs have already all but given out, and my mouth is still doing its utmost to hold back my groans from the pain that traveled down the shield.
And my two hands that were holding onto my only hope, the shield, were already at their limits.
Theyre shaking furiously and could drop the shield at any mont.
And dodge two attacks in this state?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
Then my remaining fate would be getting beaten up by the silver creature.
No! Never!
This was the impact even when I blocked it with a gods shield. And if it took those attacks head on?
Its fearful. Much, much too fearful.
Even when I was born into a martial family, even when I overca countless trials and tribulations to befit my status as a daughter of one of the Ten Great Families, and I had never felt fear back then.
But, I would never have imagined that I would feel fear in the academy!
There is only one solution!
But I still had one remaining option.
One that the others couldnt use, a high-ranking skill that only contractors of gods could use.
A skill that only the five god-class summoners of Yugrasias first years could use!
-O Goddess, grant , your contractor a powerful mind and body.
I started reciting the spell that Professor Nicerwin taught . Although he was the culprit that began this nightmare, Professor Nicerwin was one of the greatest summoners on the continent.
-W, wait! You cant use that!
Although the goddess began screaming, it couldnt be helped.
-Your wisdom, your strength.
-N, no! S, stop! If you use Descension then the shock hits
too!
Divine Descension Art ().
A technique that could pull a gods soul into a human body.
A thod only usable by a summoner that had contracted a god, a thod that could harness the most power from a god, that could not enter this world freely due to their overwhelming strength.
It was a technique wherein the soul of the god itself would fill up the summoners body for the god to control.
-My spirit and yours are one, descend your soul into my weak body and lend
your strength!
-I hate you! I hate you!
Im sorry, goddess! But I need to survive as well!
anie, you anie!
The goddesss whines left my mouth.
aning that the descension was complete.
Uwiit? The tasty unnis entered the pretty unni? Two for the price of one if I hit ya?
But the devil noticed instantly.
For that matter, even though a god had just descended onto the earth, what the heck is with that delighted face!
-Doooodgee! Whatever you do, dodge!
Thats my plan tooo!
The goddess ducked underneath a fist as she said those words.
And befitting her nickna as the goddess of war, the goddess skillfully manipulated a spear in one hand and her shield in the other, as she raised her shield and shouted.
Turn into stone, Aegis!
The goddess smoothly activated the curse on the shield!
It might have been different when I used it, but the goddess herself could use the power of the shield much more effectively!
And if we got lucky, even that devil would be turned to stone! Thats our goddess! Our goddess is the best! Do your best, our goddess!
Uwiik? Sparkle sparkle, my eyes hurt!
What?!
But it had no effect on the silver devil. On the contrary, it opened a chance for a counterattack.
As I thought, was that really a god of curses of another world!
Haang? What kinda bullshit izzat. Im this worlds sole goddess, Lady Arcadia!
I havent heard of a goddess by that na before!
Course, thats cause I made it up myself!
Short arms cut through the air.
The self-proclaid goddess, that was actually a devil no matter how you looked at her swung her hands around.
Those fists looked cute but my instincts were screaming.
If I allowed even a single one of those light hits then it would all be over for !
Uwiing? Ya dodgin better than I thought? Then dodge this.
But had it gotten bored of the goddesss and my struggles?
After outstretching its short arms the devil looked at the goddess, that was to say, my body, and shouted.
Take this, tentarcardia attack!
Wha, what?! Wait, these disgusting movents! You said you were a goddess! Is a goddess allowed to sothing this disgusting?!
Haang, look at this silver shine! This all-natural sparkles! Iz pretty, innit? So I doesnt matter! Just has ta be beautiful!
Beautiful, just what about that is supposed to be beautifuuaaaaallll!
The mass of silver tentacles wriggled its way towards !
Scores of tentacles raced in aiming for my head shoulders, thighs and so on.
-Dodge, please dodge!
At my mont of true danger, the goddess said to , very seriously.
Aris Undo the descent.
-G, goddess?!
Even at my shocked the words the goddess continued speaking solemnly, no, shortly afterwards shouted tearfully.
D, die on your own! I got hit last ti too! Do you know how much that hurt! Its scary! I dont wanna! And its disgusting! So please undo ittt!
-We, were soul partners, bonded together by our souls! You can do it!
No! That was a scam contract! Were contracted because I got hit by that thing! So hurry up and undo it!
As the goddess said half-throwing a tantrum, I also began to whine as if I couldnt lose.
-No! if you dont want to get hit then dodge! Youre the goddess of war! Youre the goddess of wisdom! Show
the majesty of a god!
You cant do anything to that even as a god!
As the silver tentacles crept closer the space where we could dodge in began to get smaller and smaller.
Even if the students around
tried to help they were out in one hit.
If they tried to break through sneakily they were out, if they tried to run they were out.
In the end, there was no one left to help .
-Is, is this the end?
N, no! Aris! Hurry and undo it! Ill be really good to you from now on, mm? So please hurry!
-N, no! if I die then thats all aningless!
At the future that was not visible, I shouted to the goddess with all my soul but the goddesss words were cold.
That thing doesnt kill anyone! You wont die! Ill guarantee it! So please! Please undo it, its getting really hard to dodge now!
But as soon as the goddess finished screaming, a silver tentacle appeared in front of our eyes.
Is this the end?
So is all that is left is my fate to fall to those tentacles with my eyes rolling back, drooling everywhere while whimpering in pain.
Why must they, summoner and summon alike, both humiliate
so?
What did I do to them in my past life?
No, even if I did commit wrongs in my past life, isnt inflicting this kind of ridiculous pain just too much?
Stop it.
And just as I was mulling over my fate, my saviour appeared.
-Pr, president?
Even if his entire body was in tatters.
Even though he seed like he would collapse at any mont.
At this mont, his figure that slapped away the silver tentacle as he stood in front of
looked more dashing than anything.
Wiin? Its the stuco pres?
N, now! Use this opportunity to run away!
And the goddess thought imdiately of running away the mont the tentacle missed its mark.
-If, if its with the president then we might be able to stop it!
I thought differently.
Eeek! Thats not sothing that can be blocked!
-But if its the presidents long-ranged attacks then we might be able to do sothing!
The president was a person loved by so many spirits it wouldnt be incorrect to call him an army of spirits.
Even if he went purely by the number of spirits he had contracted alone, he was soone who could leave his na in history.
And so!
-This is the only chance we have of turning this around.
Iiiik! Then undo the descent and you fight instead!
I retrieved my bodys ownership from the goddess who no longer had any will to fight.
The devil was still focused on the president.
There was still a chance! I would desummon Aegis as well and stake everything on my single spear!
President! Distract it! Ill deal the critical huh?
Heeheet.
But as I moved beside the president I heard no response from him.
Rather, he couldnt respond.
He fainted standing on his feet?
Unni, I said earlier, dint I? I give pain when I hit things, and I give pain when you try to hit ?
Ah
That was it.
Just then, the president had knocked aside this devils tentacles to try save . Without any protection on his arm that knocked it aside.
Normally it would be normal to hurt but if the body hits its limits for pain then it faints. But the president was already at his limits!
Indeed. The president had put his body on the line to defeat Professor Maroon.
To break through an earth elental specialised in defense, and a highest-rank elental no less, he had drawn on the powers of high-rank elentals from all four elents to his limits and charged just like that.
In that case, being able to move in the first place was abnormal.
Our pres was alweady done for the mont he showed up.
But, but why
At that mont, a shiver ran down my spine as sothing tapped my back.
It was a very light tap but a pain that ground on every single nerve in my body began to spread out.
Hmm? Whyd I pretend ta be serious when I saw the pres?
Hiik.
-I told you Aris. We should have made a run for it.
Perhaps because she was no longer feeling any more pain, the goddess said so with a relieved voice but I couldnt listen to her properly.
Hnng? Urrg?!
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Sothing kept tapping my shoulder. Very lightly, very delicately.
But even those fine touches sent pain travelling up my throat and out of my mouth.
Uuu, urrrggg
Even though I knew what it was. Even though I was scared.
Even though the devil was in front of ! But
head automatically turned backwards and saw the thing that was poking .
Hiiiiiik!
And what I saw, were scores and scores of silver tentacles wriggling along the ground.
When my head turned back to its normal place, the silver devil smiled and said.
The pres had fainted, so why was I so serious? Well thats cause of course its ta catch unni whos tryin ta run away, innit?
That was it. Id been had.
No, Id made a very, very poor error of judgnt.
This was the result of the mistaken thinking that I could challenge this silver devil! But so, but so!
N, nooooooooooooo!
Dear unni, cry cutely for !
Hwaahh? N, no! S, stop!
Uhihihi! Ill turn ya so ya cant recognise yaself!
And so, I was baited by the silver tentacles and experienced humiliation that I would never be able to forget for the rest of my life.
And so.
For the first ti in my life, very shafully as a daughter of the Letia family, I used my last resort.
