An Anomaly's Life Inside A Galge is Seriously too harsh for me!

---------------

Beatrice POV:

After sending Gray-san to the Safe Facilities with the other Apprentices

The Academy Staff and I prepared ourselves for the worst

With the Majin landing on the ground, making loud sounds of earth being shattered and large dust clouds brewing on the Colosseum by landing

The adults from the surroundings now started engaging some of the Dark skinned demon-kin

on the otherhand I, with an unsteady pose, and a rapier on one hand, was facing off with a dark clad robed majin, nothing could be seen on it's head down to it's feet, for there was not a skin that was opened nor exposed from the dark cloak it's wearing

all I know, is that this Majin for sure.

is an entirely different level from the others

*drip*

with my face turning pale and my beads of sweat dripping down from my forehead, the sight that I'm seeing could just be described as horrendous

The robed Majin, who had just landed on the ground, were surrounded by 7 bloodied corpses of the academy staff and on its one hand

it was holding by the hair of a cleanly sliced of head of a male teacher and spun it like a toy

I wanted to hurl, but now was not the time, I stood my ground regardless this abomination facing me

*Clak*

the Majin took a step towards my way, and with just that one simple step

*gulp*

it already made me lose all hope

"O-oh dear G-gods....!"

*Clak, Clak"

This Majin...with every step it takes makes me realize that fighting this would be futile

that this fight already had a clear one sided winner

I was confident at first for being a member of the 13 zodiacs, I was so sure I could fight equally with a Majin, but this one, maybe only the top 7 can only fight on par with this one and being on par doesn't mean that they would surely win, they just have a 50-50 chance

but maybe only those '4' leaders could 1 on 1 and would be able to defeat this one.

My feet and hands were shaking uncontrollably, I wanted to just straight up Collapse just from the Heavy Intense Bloodlust the Majin Emits

beneath that dark robe...

is a true monster among monsters

"Gahhh!"

"Uryaaa!"

Some of the Teachers and Adults went forward charged and tried to attack it but before they could even get near it, their heads just suddenly seperates from their intact bodies

*splat*

Just like that, I was not even able see it move it's hands nor stop walking to fight them, it still kept walking without a care in the world as if ignoring the existence of the adults charging towards it, the sight was just like a human squashing a mere puny insect

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Stop going towards it!"

I warn the adults who kept coming at it but despite my heed, they just kept on attacking just to result to them getting brutally killed without knowing how they died

"Helpp-"

another teacher got his hand cleanly slashed and seperated from the arms, he screamed for help but the mouth suddenly got divided into two, with the lower mouth intact with the body and the upper mouth with the head

"Please! Heed my Command and Stop rushing towards it!!!"

"Protect the princess!!!"

"Wait! no don-!"

"Ukyaahh!"

"Diee-Kaghk!"

"N-nooo-ahk!"

please...stop...just for my sake you're all.....

as the blood of the Adults who tried to stop the Majin splattered on the ground, they eventually numbered from ten's to twenties to thirties and eventually the massacred bloodied corpses on the colosseum grounds numbered to no less than 50

"N-No.....please stop it...Stop It!"

*shines*

as the Cross shaped Earrings of mine shined bright in a golden mirage, there in my ears echoed a familiar soft and soothing voice of an old woman from unknown origins that only I could hear inside my head

[halt and heed me child, brave it all, do not falter from fear]

"I-i can't! that thing proceeding non-stop towards me is too much! even trying to move my feet an inch is impossible to do!"

*Clak, Clak*

[but child, if you don't progress, you yourself will perish...]

"Superbia-san.............Switch with me"

I know nothing of her, only since I was Six that she introduced herself as a woman named 'Superbia'

she was the first owner of the skill 'Prideful Eyes of the Dandelion Color' and the one who comforted and always consoled me throughout the hellish year's of my childhood days

[But Child! the price for that is--]

"I know!..........of course I know...But I'm willing to pay the price for it!"

[but....Child.....]

"Please..."

[haa..........fine then]

"Really!?"

[But I won't take full control, only half of your body]

"but--"

[Yes, I Shan't be able to stop it, but I'm precise to say that I can atleast keep you alive, but do take heed, Thyself can only help you for thirty moments]

"Only thirty minutes! that can't be!"

[after thirty moments, the Caste's of the Academy should arrive here just in time, maybe even prematurely]

She's right...The Academy Staff should arrive here after some time...maybe even earlier!

[Child prepare thyself, only 20 strides and you both will collide, I'm taking over half your consciousness now...]

only 20 feet apart huh...

*Clak, Clak*

"Prideful Eyes of The Dandelion Color..."

With my mumble, as if I could see myself, My left eye shone into a more golden color than before and also my right eye shone into a blue color that was clear and blue as the free sky

*shing*

not just that, one of my cross shaped Earrings floated in front of me and also turned to a Rapier, with it's hilt designed with gold and white, and the blade as pointy and shiny in a platinum color...

The Earrings of mine reflected a weapon that has my tastes spot on...

Just because it shone like a platinum I-its not like it symbolizes Gray-san or anything though, A-anyways

[Child, to be honest that thing has such perilious murderous intent that I don't know if even 50% power in my main body could match it]

"If only we could see the face of it behind the shadowy hood it wears..."

[Child, is thee ready?]

"Yes!"

As I put my left hand on my back and my right hand holding the Rapier while pointing at the enemy, both of us shouted at the same time with a small but confident smile

[Engarde!]

"Engarde!"

I kick my feet on the ground and with the help of Superbia san, my physical abilities dramatically increased narrowing the distance between me and the Majin leaving only a foot as our distance in a flash

[Lounge Child!]

just as Superbia-san instructed me, I gather force on my right hand pull it back and push it with a forceful stab targeting the part towards the Majin's head

*Clang*

But the sound of iron blades clashing was the sound that it produced

"Grrrrrrhhh"

"How--!"

from behind the cloaked majin, slowly appeared a beast with a low growl

just like dust culminating, black colored mana was slowly gathering in one place

I kicked the ground and backed away in a moment

seconds had passed and now the Black mana had a beast formed into a Black Lion that stood in front of the Cloaked Majin, From what I read, this beast had a name of [Noire De Leone] the Lion of the Deep Dark Abyss

With it's mane glowing in the color of dark blue like the starry night sky, dark blue fiery eyes, claws that were also glowing into a dark blue shade, and at the tip of it's tail also lit a small dark blue flame, With a scar on one of its eye and a deep blue night sky colored katana on it's mouth

[Child, shan't worry and just fight pleasantly, just leave the Footwork to me]

"Thank you, Superbia-san"

I took a breathe of air to calm myself down

"Majin! Kneel before me! Let's Waltz!"

Aahhh, I wonder how Gray-san knew this phrase of mine that he even managed to cut me off earlier, hehe well~ I frogive him cause atleast he remembers me now

[Traditional Fencing Step Technique: Light Feet]

With Superbia-san doing the chant inside my head while kicking the ground with a faster force than before, we were now dashing straight towards the Noire De Leone

[Use it now Child!]

with myself about to clash heads with the Lion, I immediately Chant

[Traditional Fencing Technique: Triangular Light]

this was a move I used on Gray-san earlier, but Tri-light wasn't the full chant, it was jus a shortcut so it had weaker output

making quick endless stabs, just like drawing a triangle, starting the stabs from up then going down to the left. then to the right, then repeat it was one of the basic forms of fencing

"Grrraaaahhhh!!!!!"

even so, The Noire De Leone that was supposed to be stabbed in a flurry just deflected it using the Katana on it's mouth, following a triangle, from up, down to the left and right following and mirroring my every movement

"Haaaa!!!!"

[Light Magic: Aurum Pulse]

Superbia-san added a chant that rung inside my head which made my rapier glow into a golden color, it gradually made me faster at doing Triangular stabs

but even when I was gradually going faster every second, the Lion just slowly keeps up with me as if mocking my fencing skills

[Endless Fiesta]

And as if Superbia-san knew it was pointless to continue on, she chanted endless fiesta inside my head

with her fast footwork, It made me look like I was teleporting from five different locations, teleporting from behind the Majin to the sides and in front

She has all the control of my feet right now but I feel like I understand the purpose of her just randomly teleporting everywhere

as time went on, the lion which followed my speed by turning it's head from every direction has dramatically dwindled down and couldn't keep following me with it's eyes anymore

[Now child!]

with my uncontrolled feet dashing forward from behind the cloaked majin, I lounge my rapier from behind it at head level then--

*Splatter*

Stabbing it's cloaked head I had finally won...

that was what I hoped for, but...

"Gahahk!"

[Child!!!!!!]

with me stabbing the cloaked majin from behind on it's head, as if it was all an Illusion, the cloaked majin disintegrated like dust and formed again like sand right beside me

And now, as I was looking down while slowly trembling--

*drip, drip*

"A-ahh, I...knew it...I lost...I'm sorry.........my people"

On my stomach, portuded a bloodied blue colored blade that was stabbed from behind whilst dripping crimson red blood on the ground

[Hang On My Child!!!]

with the supposed to be blue Katana now turned crimson with my blood being pulled out of me from behind

Superbia-san controlling my feet, she Immediately managed to kick the ground and secured a safe distance from the Majin and Noire De Leone with all the little strength I had left

I fall down on the ground, with one of my knees on the floor and my rapier stabbed on the ground supporting me as foundation, Every Second I was slowly losing eyesight, little by little my vision was blacking out, with Every second that was wasted waiting for the Academy staff made me want to just faint already on the spot

[Child! raise your head! don't let the blood flow down!!!]

No, this wasn't the feeling of wanting to faint....ah that's right.......this feeling is....

I'm............dying

"BEATRICEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"

With the Loud shout of a young man, just hearing his voice made me wanted to forcefully raise my head that was staring on the ground

*cough, cough*

with my futile attempt on trying to raise my head, I coughed up chunks of blood

Why....I just wanted to raise my head...but it's so painful...

I slowly closed my eyes

[Child! get the bleeding under control and put some pressure on it! You will Live! Please Child! Live!]

ahh, Superbia-san, stop crying, your soothing voice is changing to an unpleasant one......please don't cry

"Graaaaaghh!"

a husky familiar voice then started to ring from my ear

with all my strength, I pry open my eyes yet again, and what I see is the face of Gray-san

With one arm carrying me on a horizontal position facing upwards and the other arm holding the large wooden war fan, and on the other side of the war fan, was the Noire De Leone trying to pierce the war fan Gray-san has

it seemed that it tried to attack me when I had my eyes closed

"Gray-san...you saved me again...I'm Really Happy"

with the blood steadily flowing now I could finally talk less painfully again

"Shut up! don't talk! I'll even save you as many times as you want after this so...hic...please Live!"

"you're crying again.....this is the second time I've seen you cry...what a baby fufu~"

"I said Stop talking!!!"

"No, I wouldn't be able to talk later anyways...."

"What do you mean!? gah-!"

With the Noire De Leone Pushing the War fan and Gray-san retaliating by pushing back....I finally notice that Gray-san, he's pushing himself again

[This child, he has A [Weakening Talisman] Embedded in his Clothing]

using the Prideful Eyes of The Dandelion Color's effect to heighten the Five senses and my speed, I locate the Talisman and remove it from his clothing

"Gray-san do you feel your strength going back to you now?"

"S-shut it!!! argghhh!!!"

[The Child will naturally get his strength back after some moments, it's better not to disturb his tug of war with the Noire De Leone]

"Why....why didn't you just come with me to the shelter!!! Oraaa!!!"

"Because it's a nobles duty...."

"Bullshit!"

[Child, the Demon-kin from the back is gradually giving the Noire De Leone Mana to strengthen the beast]

*cough, cough*

"Beatrice?!"

ahhh, it seem's that I won't be able to open my mouth now...

[Child! please atleast exert a little strength and open your mouth and talk to thee!]

"Beatrice! Hey! rarghh!"

Gray-san please stop suffering for me...each time we see each other I just end up getting you into trouble....

just like the day we first met...in the classroom...and now...even here...

[Child! Child!]

what a detestably cruel world, all my hard work for the One I love yet I can't even be with him...

"Beatrice! Hey!!!"

"Grarrgghh!"

"Shut the fuck up you damned Lion!!!"

Gray-san please stop already....

[Child! Stay with us!]

I'm sorry for worrying you Superbia-san...Father...Mother...My Dear Brother and Sisters...but It looks like I will be going on first

"Beatrice hey! Bea! Flavo! Open your ey..."

I'm even losing my hearing now huh.....

I raise my hand and touch his cheeks, so this is Gray-san's skin...I want to touch his lips but he might think I'm a lewd and dirty woman so that's a no no

I wanted to tell you in a much better occasion than this, an occasion where I would definitely be able to pry open my mouth hehe...

I wanted to spend a normal Academy Life with you, when Everyday would be filled with fun just by the company of being with each other

*throb, throb*

I even already wrote date plan's and listed down some good spot's to spend time with each other

I wanted to tell you my childhood stories, I even made a second friend after parting with you, well she's a maid but she's already like a sister and a friend, wait no, she's also really pretty, if it's you it might get dangerous and she might join your little harem so nevermind that...

just Imagine, if we could have fooled around everyday, gradually getting closer, experience different first times together....

*throb.....throb.....*

A Royal and Commoner's Romance huh...that actually didn't happen yet throughout the years of history in this world...they say that it's not allowed.

To my beloved prince charming...the stupido and slightly perverted Gray-san...I really really really...truly love you.

*cough, cough*

with all my hand's energy from caressing your cheek now leaving me, I clasp both hands together and for the last time Shut both my eyes comfortably

In the next life, If we just both believe in Reincarnation, I would make you keep looking at me, though we both may be fated to be star crossed, I would always be yours, I'd give my everything to you, and even when the world would always turn out to be our enemy, if it's for you, though it may be painful, I would gladly reincarnate eternally just to meet you again and again.

*throb, thro................*

*crack*

Gray-san. Thank you...

Gray/Matsuri POV:

This damned Lion is too strong! my legs and arms are slowly getting energy back due to Beatrice removing the [Weakening talisman] but it still isn't enough

"Beatrice Hey--!"

as I turn away from looking at the damned black Lion, and turn to look at Flavo but--

as I looked at both of her hands clasped with each others grasp, looking at her serene face that looked at rest, with both her eyes closed, and her smiling face that had a hint of sadness on it, and one of her cross shaped Earrings Fading away like glitter, something boiled within me.

It's that I..finally broke...
