I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends

217 – Towards the Top (Complete)

There are many.

There are too many.

It may be natural for the morale of our troops to be weakened in the face of overwhelming military power.

Jihyun and I would be fine, but some of the hunters who followed us looked worried as to whether we would be able to overcome this difficulty.

Even though he knew there was a plan, since the plan was carried out purely through the actions of others, if Valentine had harbored other thoughts, it would be over in that moment.

But I was confident that Valentine would make a move.

That’s understandable, since the priestess that Valentine prioritizes is being held hostage by the Seongcheon Sect.

This was Valentine’s first and last chance, knowing full well that he would be purged one day. No one outside the tower would dare to rebel against Edelin. Cooperating with me was the only way for her and the priestess to survive.

“… … Actually, that’s true.”

Suddenly Charlotte Lesbian licked her lips.

She looked at me with half-closed eyes, her long, blue hair braided like a well-grown leaf, and muttered.

“… … Han Seo-jun. Edelin said it would be okay to just let you pass if you were alone.”

That’s a relief to hear that. I was already anxious because Edelin went up first, but if I catch up now, it might not be too late.

I felt a little bad about leaving it up to Jihyun and the Hunters, but capturing Edelin was the top priority.

“So… … I said okay for now.”

Charlotte looked up into the empty space, tousled the ends of her hair, then lowered her head.

“I said I understood… … but… … .”

Suddenly, he suddenly raises his head towards me.

“… … Now that I think about it, I kind of hate it.”

“what?”

“… … I would follow the likes of Sir Camelot or Laurent, but isn’t there something I don’t like?”

Charlotte was looking at me with blank eyes and a slow voice, but I could tell that an unknown murderous intent was slowly rising in her.

“I roughly looked at the situation… … and came up with an estimate. What is Edelin thinking? That’s why I won’t send you to Edelin.”

Charlotte gripped the broken Lance of Longinus tightly and pointed it at me.

The icy blade was covered with fiery magical power.

It looked hot, as if it had been heated by fire for a long time.

“With this much of a difference in forces… … an overwhelmingly advantageous situation… … why should I send you to Edelin… … ?”

The emotion in Charlotte’s eyes, which slowly raise the corners of her lips, is clearly murderous.

“Ah… … But don’t worry. I won’t kill you. If I do, Edelin will be sad. So I’ll capture you alive and turn you into Edelin’s doll… … ?”

Oh, this year?

You’re turning a normal person into a doll?

I’d rather die than live as Edeline’s doll.

I guess she still has a lot of resentment about losing an eye because of me. Well, that makes sense. If I were in Charlotte’s shoes, I would have felt the same way.

“So, don’t waste your energy and just let yourself be caught… … It’ll be good for your health… … Got it… … ?”

I can’t express it any other way than that it happened in the blink of an eye.

A fatal attack was launched from behind Charlotte, who was burning with hostility.

“what……?”

It was none other than the sharp tip of a whip that struck Charlotte with precision, taking advantage of her moment of carelessness while thoroughly hiding her intention to kill her.

The poisoned whip was slashing at Charlotte viciously, as if trying to take her life with a single blow.

“Tsk.”

However, the unexpected blow ended up as a dud because Charlotte used her power to distort the space behind her.

Because he was a veteran with many abilities who had been through thick and thin, his ability to express his abilities quickly and his ability to improvise were both excellent.

“Who did this… … .”

Charlotte couldn’t continue talking.

Because countless supernatural powers were pouring down on Charlotte and the priests of the Holy Church.

Kwa, kwakwakwa, kwakwang!

Fire, gravity, lightning, rocks, explosions, etc.

It wasn’t just one or two people with superpowers. Numerous people with superpowers were attacking.

They were barely able to defend themselves against a few veteran ability users, including Charlotte, but they were helpless against mass-produced ability users who didn’t have much combat experience.

Because the training period was short, they were not equipped with the skills to avoid a sudden attack.

Charlotte has an expression on her face that seems to say, “How could you attack from behind?”

Charlotte didn’t seem to quite understand what was happening, but now was her chance.

“Seojun, now!”

“uh!”

Taking advantage of this sudden confusion, I ran.

Using Hwaryeon’s physical strengthening ability and Mina’s high-speed movement ability together, she took a step forward with all her might in a movement close to teleportation.

It was such an incredible speed that it would have been difficult for an ordinary person to react properly, but Charlotte reached out to me in an instant and used her power.

“Han Seo-jun… … !”

Spatial manipulation ability.

It is an ability with excellent general usability, such as attack, defense, and evasion, as it is compatible with almost all abilities.

I can’t make a direct attack because of my ability, but if I use Longinus, I should be able to land a sufficiently effective hit.

However, due to the sudden surprise attack, Charlotte’s reaction was somewhat delayed, and the formation of the Sungcheon Church itself was considerably disrupted.

So, to this extent, it is possible to easily break through.

Of course it would be difficult to do it alone, but I have a strong ally by my side, right?

“Seojun! Don’t stop and run!”

Jihyun gathered all her telekinesis power, enough to clench her fist, and sprayed it at Charlotte.

Charlotte tried to block the telekinesis easily using her space manipulation ability, but the extremely concentrated telekinesis crushed the space itself as if it were gravity.

The enormous telekinesis gradually distorted even the space, and Charlotte was able to use the helpless space jump to escape Jihyun’s attack.

And then I quickly passed through the door while Jihyun was holding Charlotte back.

The moment you step straight towards the stairs leading to the top.

“Ah, aaah! Han Seo-jun… …!”

Charlotte’s loud voice echoed behind me, but my footsteps did not stop.

***

“… …Fuck.”

Charlotte bit her lip.

I gritted my teeth as I recalled what had just happened.

I missed Han Seo-jun. I missed him.

To think that I could let Han Seo-jun go so easily.

I shouldn’t have met Edelin, but those guys are getting in the way. Damn it. I want to go after Han Seo-jun right now.

But I can’t just empty this place.

That would be the case, since there were many casualties from the surprise attack earlier.

If Charlotte goes after him, the troops here could be in a lot of danger.

‘Did the surprise attack just now result in roughly 40% casualties?’

The power loss is greater than expected.

Because it was a surprise attack from behind, it seemed like the response was even more inadequate.

Of course, I was confident that I could deal with Lee Ji-hyun’s forces with only the remaining 60%, but the problem here was that Charlotte’s forces were not a full 60%.

“Did you have eyes on your back? How did you avoid it?”

That’s understandable, since there are traitors who attack from behind.

“Louise Valentine… … .”

The person who surprised Charlotte and the members of the Sungcheon Church was none other than Louise Valentine, one of her comrades who had been steadfastly guarding their backs.

Louise fiddled with her whip as if she felt regret.

“… … Valentine’s Enforcer, what on earth are you doing?”

“Can’t you see it? It’s a rebellion, a rebellion.”

Louise, a member of the executive branch, the highest armed force of the Sungcheon Church, glared at Charlotte with a fierce expression, her whip tightly gripped.

“You guys have killed and excluded so many people so far, so don’t you think it would end up like this someday?”

“Surely Edelin would have selected the troublemakers separately? How?”

“Ha. Screening through telepathy? There are plenty of tricks to avoid that, right?”

Louise snorted.

“Actually, I was a bit nervous. I wondered if I could join hands with Han Seo-jun and his group. I wondered if that great saintess had anticipated it all and set a trap. But, well, it seems like she didn’t expect it in the end.”

Charlotte frowned.

Could it really be that you didn’t expect it?

That Edelin?

‘Maybe… … I thought they wouldn’t listen to me telling them to let Han Seo-jun pass, so I might have left them alone on purpose… … .’

When you think about it logically, it seems like an absurd delusion, but Edelin is not a person who can be judged by the standards of common sense.

‘Edeline… … Are you really going to… … do this… …?’

Charlotte couldn’t help but grit her teeth and feel resentful towards Edeline.

“You should have done that moderately.”

“… … That little kid you’re holding. You know we have him in our hands, right?”

“Wouldn’t all this be solved if you and that damned saint died here? There’s no communication with the outside world from inside the tower.”

“… … You’re crazy. Do you think you can win?”

“sure.”

Louise nodded.

That’s understandable, as Louise wasn’t alone.

Because about a dozen priests were of the same opinion as Louise.

“It seems like 30-40% of them are already incapable of fighting. But if we join them, wouldn’t it be more than enough?”

Louise nodded at Lee Ji-hyun.

Since they had already had a secret conversation with Han Seo-jun and his group, the hunters had no doubts about her joining.

“… … It’s annoying. Really.”

The numerical advantage has gone down the drain.

If we had attacked together with Lee Ji-hyun and her group as Louise said, it could have been quite dangerous.

“Even a mouse cornered will bite a cat, right?”

“I knew you guys were upset. I should have just dealt with it then.”

Charlotte raised her head with a murderous expression, her lips pursed.

“Okay, that’s enough… … Since it’s come to this, I’ll take care of the rebels too… … Everyone, come at me.”

After defeating all of them, Charlotte Lesberry, ranked 3rd in the world, decided to go after Han Seo-jun.

***

Top of the tower.

“Oh my god?”

At the very top, commonly referred to as the Last Room, were Edelin and several priests.

“It’s too bad. It was so close.”

And Edelin, who had been reaching out for the Holy Grail, looked at me and smiled bashfully, took her hand away, and muttered something in regret.
