Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 662



662. Grand Colosseum Final – The man who cannot understand and the woman who understands (6)

***

… … .

The golden vision returned to its original state as if reversed.

Then, reality appeared.

Celestia collapses, vomiting blood. And the golden window that was forced to stop in front of it was stopped due to external intervention.

In one space, two things kept appearing as if they were overlapping in my field of vision.

ㅡ! ㅡㅡㅡ!!

Even though the host’s huge voice announcing my victory echoed in my ears as if it were a distant sound, there was no sense of reality at all.

‘Championship… … .’

After wishing for such a long time and working endlessly, I reached victory. However, rather than any feelings about winning, I just looked at reality.

A window on the verge of completely collapsing.

It was no wonder that Changsin was destroyed at any time, cracking and collapsing in various places.

Nevertheless, the spear tried to point at Celestia, who collapsed and coughed up blood.

By the time I realized it, everything was already over.

Rather than disbelieving Celestia’s rapid growth and unbelievable, miraculous exercise of power, I was rather surprised by the reality that followed.

Chubbuck! Damn it!

Among the golden knights who rushed into the stadium, several people could be seen taking care of Celestia.

And even the sight of her going into treatment.

“… … .”

As I watched it blankly, it felt like time had stopped.

‘I am… … .’

I almost killed her.

I felt it intuitively. If someone hadn’t stopped my spear, such terrible results would have definitely unfolded.

My spear was clearly stopped by the powerful power displayed by Celestia.

I saw a surreal sight of an intangible force trying to collapse the spear, and actually creating numerous cracks in my spear, and a piece of great power trying to devour my spear.

However, the power contained in the spear did not decrease in the process.

The spear was forced to stop, and even as the spear was slowly collapsing, its power continued to aim towards its goal until the end.

“ah… … .”

When I unconsciously looked at my arm, it was trembling.

It wasn’t due to exhaustion from using force. It was simply because I realized reality too late.

Another power I perfected.

When it had a power beyond even my thoughts. And the fact that I hadn’t really thought about the aftermath of that force felt scarier than anything else.

I had been thinking about this unconsciously for a while.

There is a golden knight within the Grand Colosseum, and of course there is a powerful being who can restrain my power.

Even if the worst happens in the game, it will only result in a serious injury.

So it will be okay.

… … It was a stupid idea.

In fact, when I showed off everything I had, even the power that went beyond my limits, in the match against Azazel just yesterday, I actually had reason.

Even when I completed the fourth ceremony and aimed at Azazel, I realized how powerful my newly acquired power was.

I thought it was dangerous for my spear to aim for the heart, so I even twisted the trajectory of the spear blade.

however.

I didn’t do that in this game.

I purely enjoyed the match against Celestia, and vaguely realized that she had greater potential.

I impulsively used the concept of power because I wanted her to be more sincere towards me.

The movement of the spear at the last moment was something that not even I could have predicted. Even though it was supposed to be completely under my control, the power contained in the spear was amazing.

‘It was twisting.’

The spiral in the window was twisted and misaligned endlessly. Ironically, the spear that had begun to collapse due to the powerful power displayed by Celestia was also collapsing due to my power.

Because the power of oppression was endlessly forced into the spear. The spear could not withstand the force I had forced into it, and that soon cracked even my control.

So I felt it for the first time.

How much fear can arise from forces beyond one’s control.

“ha… … .”

Even as I exhaled my breath, it felt as if time had passed again.

Not even a small amount of strength went into my whole body. Her head just turned blankly.

At the end I saw numerous forces trying to stop my spear, but I thought they were all too late. And yet, there was someone who stopped my window just before the irreversible consequences appeared… … .

When I caught sight of the being that caught my eye, a deep sigh of relief escaped me without my knowledge.

‘Ariya… … .’

It was her.

Of all the people in my gaze, I immediately knew that she was the one who stopped my power.

Even as I looked at her face with a small smile, my sinking heart seemed to return to its original state just a little.

“… … are you okay. “Because I’m really fine.”

My body seemed to freeze for a moment at the sound I vaguely heard.

When I straightened my head again, as if creaking, I saw Celestia standing up while being supported by several people.

Even though she was receiving treatment, her pale complexion, which had turned completely white, seemed to be imprinted in my eyes, and at the same time, I could see her eyes.

The focus was blurred.

It seemed as if too much force had been used, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he collapsed at any time.

“miss!”

“You must take unconditional rest now!”

Even amidst the voices of what appeared to be the Golden Knight and several attendants, she smiled faintly.

“Because I’m really fine… … .”

And after saying those words, she suddenly took a step forward.

To anyone’s surprise, the steps are weak.

But when she approached me, looking at me, I couldn’t say or do anything.

She probably felt it more than I did.

How much power was contained in my spear, and how close that power almost led to her death.

‘why… … .’

Is he trying to approach me?

To her, I was the person who tried to kill her. I could only watch as her mind turned completely white.

I saw her coming towards me.

And before long, when she reached me, I saw.

“… … “Congratulations on winning.”

“Celestia… … .”

“You don’t have to speak highly of me like that… … . “In the Colosseum, all participants are equal.”

A pale face with a faint smile.

And I couldn’t do anything because of the weak voice without the slightest strength.

In the strange sensation of looking at a pure white flower that seemed ready to break at any moment, I could only linger with my lips.

‘To congratulate me… … .’

Did he come to me in this physical condition?

Even now, I can see clearly in my eyes the pale complexion that had turned white after coughing up blood.

Her condition is not good.

Currently, she was in a state of absolute stability, according to the wishes of the many people fidgeting behind her.

Sreuk.

And when she suddenly took something out of her sleeve, my gaze caught even in my dazed mind.

I saw something there that looked like a pure white crystal.

“take it… … .”

When I heard her faint voice again, I paused without realizing it.

I found out without realizing it.

I realized that they didn’t just come over to congratulate me, and that fact left me even more speechless.

‘Letharsia’s tears.’

She was about to hand it to me right after the game started.

As if he knew he was going to lose.

“thank you.”

While I was blankly accepting it, I didn’t even know what I should do or how to say.

My mind went blank and I just accepted everything as she did it.

Tuk.

As I carefully accepted the pure white crystal she handed me, she smiled faintly.

The sight of her smiling contentedly with a pale complexion, as if she had come to me for this… … It gave me a feeling that I cannot express.

I just can’t figure it out. And I can’t understand it.

How could she do this to me, and why is she trying to do me a favor like this? … .

“ah… … .”

Then, when she stumbled and leaned her body towards me, my body reacted without me knowing.

“Are you okay?”

Even as I rushed to take her into my arms, I couldn’t help but worry about her physical condition.

“… … sorry. “Please let me stay like this for just a little while.”

I had to nod absentmindedly at her voice with a faint smile.

***

My mind was completely blank.

Celestia, who used the power called Keratesia, suddenly felt that way.

All sensation in my body completely disappeared. And in fact, I had no feeling in my arms or legs. I can’t even tell if I’m breathing properly or not… … .

“Cough… … !”

And when my body reached its limit without me even realizing it, I was coughing up blood and collapsing.

Everything appeared slowly in my vision.

A frozen golden window.

Strangely enough, I felt at ease even as I looked at the window that was on the verge of completely collapsing.

‘It’s something I can’t reach yet.’

My body and mind could not withstand the power of Keratesia. As soon as I realized that fact, I looked beyond that into my eyes.

The appearance of Han Cheon-seong.

And that face had an expression I had never seen before.

‘… … .’

In the midst of the pain that made me feel like I was about to lose my mind, his image was strangely engraved in my mind.

Chubbuck! Damn it!

Immediately afterward, even as the vassals rushed to me and treated me with concern, that face continued to linger in my eyes.

And when the faintest feeling returned to my whole body, my mind was moving my body.

“… … are you okay. “Because I’m really fine.”

Even as I barely managed to get up, I looked at him again. He still had the same face as before.

Even though he should be happy about his win, he doesn’t seem to be happy at all. And I vaguely understood why he had that face.

Now that I understand that, my body naturally turns towards him.

“… … .”

I approached him, who had suddenly started looking at me as if I was looking at him, and congratulated him on winning for the first time.

And even as I brought up Letarcia’s tears, which I suggested in the beginning, I burst out laughing.

‘It’s strange.’

I was the one who lost the game, and I didn’t win the game.

Why on earth am I happy?

As I congratulated him on his win, strangely, I felt greater joy than I do now.

“ah… … .”

And that time when I was unable to support my body, which I was barely able to maintain.

“Are you okay?”

When his face, which had taken me in blankly, appeared so close, I felt like my breath had stopped for a moment.

“… … !”

The distance was close.

It was so close that their breath could touch it.

Even though I was frozen by the momentary situation, I could barely open my mouth.

“… … sorry. “Please let me stay like this for just a little while.”
