Chapter 14 - Would you call it a miracle if it happened twice? (2/2)
I know.
I didn’t even feel its presence.
The minotaur’s speed.
Reflexes.
And all the other things.
It’s on a different league.
Now, I don’t care anymore about Kirihara and the other’s peace of mind. (T/N: not sure here.)
If I were to choose on of them as an enemy, I won’t hesitate to choose the <Golden Dragon Wave>.
A roar not made out of spite.
From the monster here is–
Killing intent.
Pure,
Authentic,
Genuine killing intent.
They may not have found any special reason for killing.
Killing for it to eat?
Killing for it to live?
Whatever it is– Just killing intent.
I don’t think this bird head is any way weaker than that minotaur.
It’s certainly strong.
Probably all the monsters in this level are–
Brutal enough to kill all those strong people who were disposed.
I thought I’m out of my previous predicament.
But,
Here’s a second predicament.
Everyone would have died.
The sent heroes and warriors.
They must have been killed.
By the monsters of this ruins.
Losing in the end.
Strong as you may be.
Even if you somehow kill one of them.
Another one is coming.
There’s many of them.
You’d be exhausted in the end and use up all your strength.
Your physical strength.
Your willpower.
I don’t like this.
I don’t want to die,
I don’t want to die,
I don’t want to die.
I unconsciously raised my arms again.
It’s like feeling on depending to a wish.

Miracles, you see…
They’re called miracles because they’re…
Miracles.
No matter the circumstances, they won’t occur twice–
[Gggoooo— ppiiii– ggggii…]
I opened my eyes.
[Eh?]
My mouth opened wide.
[It worked…?]
Is it unable to move?
It looks like the bird head is sweating somehow.
It’s desperately trying to move.
However, it can’t move for some reason.
That’s how I think.
It worked?
The miracle worked twice?
The endowment?
The paralysis.
Praying that the stopped four don’t suddenly move and extend its arms to me,
I pass through the side of the bird head.
And when the bird head is completely behind me,
I run.
With all of my strength.
At that time, a hypothesis came to my mind.
It’s like a revelation.
There’s no way, I thought.
But I thought.
Miracles are miracles because they rarely happen.
If it happened twice in a row, people will not call it a miracle.
For example,
If the success of the two skills are not a miracle–
Then is it a certainty?
The unique skills of Mimori Touka.
Abnormal State Endowment.
It succeeded twice.
To the monsters in this ruins.
Minotaur won’t be able to chase me.
The bird head also won’t be able to chase me.
For example,
Supposing,
Supposing, for example–
If this world’s skill and my otherworldly skill were completely different things.
Regardless of monster grade.
If the probability of success is very high.
If the duration that it works is very long.
[If so, then…]
Looking back behind towards the bird head.
[I may survive in this ruins.]
