#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 fearsome 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 me 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 moment.

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 overcame 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 me, your contractor a powerful mind and body.

I started reciting the spell that Professor Nicerwin taught me. 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 me too!

Divine Descension Art ().

A technique that could pull a gods soul into a human body.

A method only usable by a summoner that had contracted a god, a method 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 me your strength!

-I hate you! I hate you!

Im sorry, goddess! But I need to survive as well!

Meanie, you meanie!

The goddesss whines left my mouth.

Meaning 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 nickname 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?!

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 someone who could leave his name 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 me?

Ah

That was it.

Just then, the president had knocked aside this devils tentacles to try save me. 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 elemental specialised in defense, and a highest-rank elemental no less, he had drawn on the powers of high-rank elementals from all four elements 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 moment he showed up.

But, but why

At that moment, a shiver ran down my spine as something 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.

Something 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 me! But me head automatically turned backwards and saw the thing that was poking me.

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 judgment.

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 me!

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 time in my life, very shamefully as a daughter of the Letia family, I used my last resort.

How do you do?

Save the formalities.

Oi you little shits.

How old are you lot that you went telling on me to your mum and dad?
