Falling in Love at the Academy Means Death - Falling in Love at the Academy Means Death chapter 111

what to say about it

My first impression of him was that he looked like a big ball. The inflated belly appeared to be three meters in diameter, while the head and limbs looked relatively dainty.

The way the dragon walked while balancing its huge body, in itself, seemed like a kind of freaky show.

Chin- thump- Chin- thump-

Even among the loud sound of water, the sound of footsteps with a clear left and right difference.

Surprisingly, one foot had the claw of a bird, and the other foot had the sole of a furry bear.

It was as if the body was made by attaching various parts of different dolls together. The left arm made of blue scales, the right arm with feathers growing out of it, and the face of a person seen from somewhere attached to the center of the body form a bizarre balance.

i know its name In the world of fantasy, there are words that call such things.

‘Chimera’… .’

It is the result of so-called alchemy, which is created by combining life.

“Shit! Armor!”

After I shouted, ‘Run that way!’, Adrine quickly retreated to the other passageway. However, the armor Hoan was wearing seemed to hinder movement due to the added restriction of being in the waterway.

“uuu!”

In terms of humans, the guy’s head, which was attached to the belly button, was drooling and screaming.

“Ughhh! big! Whoa!”

It was a cry that made your eardrums drop. No matter how well you try to interpret it, it doesn’t seem to mean ‘nice to meet you’.

thump thump thump-

The boy’s pace quickened. However, his stride was not large, probably because of his heavy weight. However, the problem was the guy’s left arm, which was sprouting long.

Kiyi Iik-

The arm stretched out as it scraped the walls of the canal. For a moment, I thought that this chimera had not yet adapted to its size. However, the moment the arm was fully swung, I realized that it was a misunderstanding.

Swordsmen like Sabaki often use similar techniques. It is a technique called the so-called foot swordsmanship. Accelerating the speed at the moment the sword is swung by using the inclined plane of the scabbard.

And this chimera guy’s arm rubbed against the wall of the hallway to create a similar effect.

Wow!

With a terrifying sound, his palm collided with my sword. Along with the pain as if my shoulder was coming off, I was pushed back and almost fell out. However, only a few pieces of scale fell from his arm. A moan leaked out of my numb wrist.

“Aww.”

It was the worst.

Rather than being a strong guy, having intelligence. But there was something worse than that.

The life that this chimera exudes is too light.

The secret secret of the Espertz family, [The Smell of Death], was not fully functioning.

If the attack had been linked like this, I might not have been able to block it. But fortunately, the guy stopped walking, touching his palms as if surprised by me, who had attacked me.

“Grrr.”

And just at that moment, I heard Adrine’s voice from behind.

“That’s Okay! Come over John too!”

“All right!”

I made a big gesture pretending to dash on purpose. Then, as if to defend herself, the Chimera covered her face with her arms near her belly button, and I turned and ran away.

Ta- Da- Doc-

It was a full-on help. Johan Espertz’s agility is not that low. I spread my legs as wide as I could and landed on the floor right in front of the waterway. It was intended to jump over to the corner where Adrine and Hoan were.

But I was in an important misunderstanding. The action the Chimera took was not a defensive action.

“John! back!”

“What?”

“Run! I will fall!”

Before I could turn around, I heard a sound.

coo coo coo-

Surprisingly, it was the sound of him ‘rolling’. Relieved by the short stride I saw earlier, I jumped vertically instead of straight ahead. It allowed me to rise before I was buried in his huge anus bone.

Wow!

The chimera’s gigantic body rolled under my feet.

Its size was submerged in the flowing canal, creating a huge splash. I stepped on his back just as I had risen and took another leap. Thanks to that, I was able to cross over to the aisle where Adrine and Hoan were at once.

“Ugh.”

I was barely able to cross over, but Joan and Adrinne picked me up. However, if there is one regrettable thing, it is the fact that Hoan and Adrin are standing at a distance.

“What are you doing?! I’m not running away!”

“Impossible!”

“why!”

“It’s a blocked passage!”

“Sir!”

I picked myself up and quickly looked around. As Adrine said, this passage was blocked by a wall about 4 meters in length. Judging from the spray of water that fell into a hole, it was draining underground instead of a continuous waterway.

“Sir.”

Jumping into the spray is suicidal. At least I didn’t design the map of this underground waterway as a multi-layered structure. Therefore, there is a high probability that the space below is just filled with water, and worse, there may be no way back up.

“Kuuu! Kwap!”

Covered in water, the Chimera was raising its huge body again. Fortunately, the width of the aisle we are in is roughly 2.5 meters.

There was hope.

“Let’s try to fall as far as possible to the wall!”

As soon as I finished my words, the Chimera stumbled again. Then, as I had hoped, the huge body was blocked by the width of the narrow hallway. Then he stretched out his arm, almost thrust into it, to catch us.

bung bung-

The shiny scales passed almost in front of the boat. Of the three of us standing close to the wall in a funny pose, Hoan said while fixing his sword.

“I’ll cut off that arm.”

“no. Don’t stretch out your knife.”

“why?”

“That’s trying to snatch a weapon. More than that, keep an eye on your mouth.”

“mouth?”

“You’re messing around with something!”

The Chimera stared at us with its eyes and held something in its mouth. After a while, the guy who withdrew his arm again said, ‘Twayeee!’

Clumps of green liquid flew into the air. Then, the guardian knight moved according to his duty.

“miss!”

“oh!”

Passish-style.

Smoke rose from the armor on the back of the Guardian Knight. Hoan covered the saliva that Chimera had spat on Adrine, blocking it with his body.

“Ho, Hoan… it’s okay?”

“… it’s okay.”

Really? The back plate of his armor, in contact with the saliva, was corroded and dripping. And even a little bit of flesh was exposed through the hole.

“Really. It didn’t touch the skin.”

I quickly read the chimera’s system log, taking advantage of the chimera guy’s mouth again.

“Unbelievable… .”

I know where I saw this long system log. The list of skills this guy ‘learned’ continued even after that.

[Weapon Concealment], [Dark Adaptation], [Theft], [Sign Language], [Lip Reading], [Negotiation], [Shadow Walking], [Shadow Hiding], [Leading], [Poison Immune], [Education], [ Search with a bow], [Resist torture]… .

The name of the person who had this skill flowed out of my mouth.

“Naf Nakisis… .”

“… yes?”

“That guy’s face… It is the face of that assassin.”

So it was. The reason why I can’t feel the [smell of death] properly.

In the [Assassination of the Princess] event, the skill [Living Control] that the assassin who aimed at Adrine had was inherited by this Chimera.

At my words, Joan and Adrin looked at the Chimera’s face and gave it a look of astonishment. Hoan gritted his teeth and said.

“It is as you say. I can tell by looking at the scar around the eye. then… that-“

TT-

Green saliva gushed out once again as Hoan stopped talking. I threw away the [Arms of Justice] and snatched the crocodile-skin umbrella from Hoan’s hand, then unfolded it.

Dudududuk-

Saliva spilled over the open umbrella, but no corrosive reaction occurred. It is as described in the system log.

“Hold instead of an umbrella!”

Hoan quickly accepted the umbrella. The Chimera seemed a little startled by the object unfolding in front of her eyes, but still began to mumble again. Of course, the decision to launch a long-distance attack was not wrong because the arms could not reach. But this doesn’t work for me.

This is because Johann Esperts is not a ‘prosecutor’ but an ‘archer’.

I undid the bow that was tied behind my back. Then he pulled out an arrow from his inventory. said.

“Fold the umbrella again!”

Hoan followed my instructions without questioning. Cheak- and the umbrella folded, and the field of view that was blocked by the umbrella was opened.

“Prepare to open again!”

“All right.”

I stood sideways toward the chimera’s face. Then he took a posture and hung an arrow on the bowstring.

“It is a gift.”

I quickly finished my aim and let go of the protest.

With a tang sound, the arrow flew. towards the boy’s face.
