Volume 1
Chapter 55
It's Broken
Translator : PolterGlast
【Runa's POV】
Faith suddenly
screamed and began to writhe. His veins, dyed black, bulged prominently, his
eyes rolled back, and he began to foam at the mouth. He was scratching his neck
abnormally, his skin turning whiter and whiter, cracking and splitting. It was
as if he were changing into something that was no longer human, while still
maintaining a human form.
"F-Faith-san?"
Tekiru seemed
surprised too. His agitation was evident.
Akana-san was
completely cowering beside me. It was no wonder she was scared. A big man
suddenly started screaming and acting strangely.
"Gaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
However, after a
while, Faith's voice began to fade, and he bent his upper body, trembling as if
to suppress something, and his strange behavior subsided.
But contrary to Faith,
who was becoming quieter, a stronger danger signal was being sent to my mind.
What was going to
happen next?
Suddenly, Faith leaned
back reflexively. Then, he turned around, faced the sky, and began to walk unsteadily
in the opposite direction from us—towards the building across the road. Just as
I thought that—
"Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
He began to scream
again and rushed towards the building. With tremendous speed, Faith crashed
into the wall of the building. The wall shattered, and rubble fell as dust
swirled. He then plunged into the building, but... it was too dark to see what
happened inside.
The three of us were
frozen, unable to move, not understanding Faith's sudden actions.
Footsteps could be
heard from the darkness.
"Grrrrrrrrrr..."
The madman (Faith),
slightly dirty from the dust and drooling, reappeared in front of us, unharmed.
"───! What's going
on!?"
I couldn't help but
turn around and ask Tekiru in a shout.
"……………"
Tekiru, however,
stared at the current situation as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Hey! Do
something───"
"Runa-san!"
"───!"
Just as I was about to
question Tekiru, who wasn't moving, I heard Akana-san's voice.
When I turned around
quickly, I saw Faith approaching me with a greatsword raised, having run up to
me at some point.
I pushed Akana-san and
jumped sideways to avoid him.
But I was a step too
slow.
With a dull thud, my
left arm was severed below the elbow by the greatsword.
I rolled with the
momentum of my jump and then crumpled to the ground in pain.
"〜〜〜〜〜〜！！！！"
It hurts, it hurts, it
hurts, it hurts, it hurts! It hurts!!!!
The cut surface of my
severed arm was burning! The pain should have paralyzed me, but I can feel the
blood flowing through my body.
My mind was confused
by the unfamiliar sensation, and my thoughts were filled with the red color of
pain.
"Runa-san!?"
Akana-san immediately
noticed my injury and approached my injured arm, my right arm.
"───! I'll stop the
bleeding. But it's only first aid..."
She put her hands
together and muttered something. A faint green light emitted from her hands,
but it eventually faded and dissipated.
"No way!"
The magic
nullification barrier was interfering again.
She was probably
trying to cast healing magic. However, the barrier was canceling the magic
before it could take a proper form.
As a result, my arm
continued to bleed profusely, with no way to stop it.
It hurts... it hurts
so much...
No matter how hard I
gritted my teeth or pressed my hand against the wound, the pain wouldn't
subside. In fact, it was getting worse.
I don't want this
anymore... I hate this...
Help me... Father...
Kushina...
With tears in my eyes,
I pathetically called out to those who would never come to my aid.
