A Transmigrator’s Privilege-Chapter 210
"Ah, this is...!"
Tesilid, who had grasped the situation, turned to look at me. His gaze conveyed a sense of imminent danger.
I shouted.
"Run, Terry!"
Our side only had two high-level expert aura users. We lacked defensive and healing skills.
Right now, the best option was to get at least 10 kilometers away and use a spatial transfer stone to escape.
However, the world that had bound my hands wouldn't show any mercy, even if it was just my legs.
[ Warning. 'Frost Overlap' status will freeze your body.]
"Ugh!"
In an instant, my mobility ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) was drastically reduced. It felt like heavy shackles had been placed around my ankles.
[ Warning. 'Eternal Frost Prison' is being formed.]
Creeeek!
"Exit...!"
Ice walls rose up all around us, blocking our escape.
The only opening was directly ahead, where Leviathan was preparing its breath attack.
[ Warning. 'Hypothermic Overlap' status makes you vulnerable to ice-type attacks.]
"...!"
The sensation of being stripped bare and tossed into an eternal tundra hit me sharply.
At this point, there was no way to deny it.
The world was trying to kill both me and Tesilid!
"...Ha."
My whole body turned cold. But thanks to my mind freezing over, I began to think clearly.
The colossal, rank 183 giant dragon.
How powerful would the breath attack, which had been prepared over several minutes, be?
Without divine power, I was just a seventh-tier aura user. No silver citadel, no powerful healing.
That meant, in this situation, there was no way to stop an SS-class boss’s incoming attack...
"There’s no way."
The situation was hopeless. But—
<Ayleth!>
"Ah!"
My body moved of its own accord. I gritted my teeth and dragged my legs forward towards the sea serpent.
I moved far ahead of Tesilid and positioned myself at the front to take the brunt of the breath attack.
['The Scales of Judgement' warns it's dangerous!]
['The Word of World-Building' shouts to flee!]
['The Seeker of Heavenly Secrets' sighs.]
Leviathan inflated its body to its fullest, taking in a deep breath, and its jaws stretched wide.
[ Warning. 'Leviathan' is about to release its 'Breath of Absolute Cold'.]
I pulled out Serpentus and filled it with all of my aura.
I faced the deadly exhalation head-on, staring directly into the oncoming death breath.
I endured. No matter what happened, I would hold on.
['The Word of World-Building' stops breathing from extreme tension.]
['The Scales of Judgement' grabs 'The Word of World-Building' by the collar, urging it to do something.]
And then, finally—
KWA-AAH!
A pressure that felt like it would shatter my blood vessels and break my very soul overwhelmed me.
"...Ugh."
A groan slipped from my lips. Even though I was protecting myself with my aura, the biting cold relentlessly cut through.
It felt like my senses were being shattered.
At that moment, a shadowy figure appeared in front of my fading vision.
It was obvious whose firm and sturdy back it was.
"Terry!"
He had moved ahead of me and blocked Leviathan's breath.
I wanted to grab him and pull him to safety behind me. But he was out of my reach.
And my feet couldn’t move any closer.
KA-WAAAH!
The breath continued without stopping.
Amid the ear-splitting noise, I could feel my body growing colder, being engulfed by the blue death.
Without healing, the end was inevitable.
<Ayleth! At this rate...!>
If this continued, we would soon reach our limit.
We would both be shattered into ice fragments.
['The Word of World-Building' is searching for a way to save you.]
['The Word of World-Building' is searching for a way to save you.]
['The Word of World-Building' is searching for a way to save you.]
My mind also frantically searched for a solution.
What should I do? How can I survive?
What should I do?
"...Ah."
Even amidst the howling sound of the breath, a voice cut through clearly, snapping my mind awake. I looked up and saw ahead.
Tesilid, who had always been in front of me until now.
He turned his head and gave me a glance over his shoulder.
Even in this urgent situation, he was smiling faintly at me.
As if this was going to be the last time. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"From now on, what you will see."
"..."
"Don't be surprised."
"...What?"
With that final, determined expression, Tesilid turned his head back to face the front.
At that moment, my thoughts were consumed by distrust towards Tesilid.
Was he thinking of sacrificing himself?
Just earlier, he had said he wanted to live longer in this timeline, and now he was considering such a thing?
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
As my thoughts burned as intensely as the vision of flames ahead, I couldn’t help but wonder.
Was I supposed to watch him go down like this?
I tilted my head upwards towards the sky and shouted.
"Dungeon!"
Towards the only being that could save us.
"Please, trigger Dungeon Sync! Please!"
My prayer reached the heavens.
[ 'The Word of World-Building' exchanges a large amount of divinity and potential for equivalence.]
[ Warning. 'Unknown Event Dungeon' triggers Dungeon Sync.]
Suddenly, a deep abyss-like pit formed beneath my feet. A powerful gravity sucked my body in.
But there was a problem.
"Ah!"
"Terry!"
I was the only one who was isolated.
I reached out towards Tesilid, but I couldn't touch him.
[ 'Unknown Event Dungeon (1-person capacity)' is closing.]
Suddenly, the dungeon had a one-person limit.
Even though the Word of World-Building had consumed a large amount of divinity, it only allowed for my survival.
I lifted my head with blood drained from my face. Through the narrowing gap of the disappearing entrance, I saw Leviathan's breath engulfing him.
No!
"Terryyy!"
That was the last time I saw him.
Whoosh!
The entrance closed, and darkness enveloped everything around us. And then—
[ The powerful intervention of 'The Word of World-Building' exceeds your body’s tolerance.]
My consciousness faded to black.
✠
Leviathan’s maddened breath finally reached its limits.
Once the blue death breath stopped, the surrounding environment had completely changed.
All life in the area had been wiped out. The terrain had melted away.
A giant crater had formed, but the sea water didn’t rush in. It had frozen instead.
Cold snowflakes gently fell onto the devastated land. Fractal-like pure white crystals descended from the sky.
"..."
The longed-for destruction had come to pass, but Tesilid Arzent was in no way pleased.
He stood, blankly staring, as he reflected on what had just transpired.
It had been a long time since he felt such a devastating sense of loss.
His heart froze, turning cold. He stood motionless, rooted to the spot.
At that moment, a giant shadow loomed over his head.
<Kwoooor!>
Leviathan’s massive maw descended upon its prey.
Just before being consumed.
Swish!
Radiant swords, resembling the silhouette of a holy sword, spread out in all directions. A dozen or so aura blades.
They obeyed their master's will and rushed upward in a vertical motion. They then surrounded Leviathan, attacking from all directions.
<Kyyaaaah!>
The scales that had never been pierced before shattered like glass shards.
Spitting blue blood, Leviathan thrashed around.
"..."
Through all of this, Tesilid didn’t move a single wrist.
The aura blades, numbering in the dozens, had been commanded purely by his will.
It was possible only because he had reached the level of an aura master.
He slowly raised his left hand. Through the white fabric that had melted away in the breath, his wrist was visible.
The golden seal that had wrapped around his arm like thorny wire had mostly disappeared.
It seemed that blocking the breath in front of Ayleth Rodeline had been considered a death-defying sacrifice.
"Ha."
To choose the hard path, giving up everything, only to receive this reward.
And after she had disappeared.
He suppressed his feelings of disillusionment and decided to endure once more. Just a little longer.
