Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 211.4
Hi, everyone. I have an important exam soon, so I will not be able to give as much as time to TL as before. Because of this, I will be reducing the release rate to 2 chapter per week for next 6 weeks. Once my exams are over, I will release bonus chapters to make up for lower release rate right now. Have a great day.
Amidst the slight rise in spirits, the demons that had been pursuing Clara and the others descended from the darkness into the courtyard, which was lit only by the light of a small amount of magic.
The face, so distorted that it could no longer be recognized as that of the head of the Order, laughed. The plants and trees in the garden touched by the demon rotted away in the miasma and gave off a foul smell, and at that moment the demon grabbed one of the knights who had twitched with its giant arm.
“Hiii–”
The demon twisted and crushed the knight as if wringing out a rag.
“Don’t look away from the demon!”
Clara called out to the young knights, who had involuntarily turned away.
To fight the demon, they must not be afraid. But that is impossible for ordinary people. Nevertheless, Clara raised her voice to “buy time” and to encourage herself.
“That’s a Doppelganger! Its strength is inferior to that of an ordinary demon!”
A doppelganger was a demon that imitates the appearance of “someone” called a double existence or alter ego. It was a demon that stoked people’s fears and suspicions, but Clara’s “foresight” judged that existence as such.
The combat ability of a Doppelganger relies on the thing it mimics. That was why that demon created a situation where it could fully wield its power by making a simple contract.
However, even if the Doppelganger was not strong, that was in comparison to other demons, and its ability was so far beyond that of an ordinary human that it was not even worth mentioning.
Clara was able to use {Simple Appraisal}, but she was unable to see the demon’s power. This was because Clara’s lack of combat experience meant she was unable to gauge the demon’s power.
But perhaps a Greater Demon, a high-level demon… its fighting power would be at least 2000, and if it was a demon that had been released after obtaining a vessel, it would probably exceed 4000.
“Anyway, we need to buy some time…”
Clara, who was about to give further instructions, held her eyes and fell to her knees, and Hilda, who was nearby, rushed over in a panic.
“Clara-sama, please don’t use your ‘foresight’ anymore!”
Clara, with tears of blood streaming from both eyes, grabs Hilda’s arm tightly.
“It’s not over yet. It’s almost over, almost over.”
Clara’s blessing, {future foreknowledge}, puts an unusual strain on the brain.
Originally, this ability was suited to military strategists who could see the state of the battle, and in this situation, it was necessary to continue using it, but the former second prince, who was originally the crown prince, died young due to having gained a similar ability. If he had not done so, he would not have been able to bring the country, which was in turmoil between the royal family faction and the aristocratic faction, together to a certain extent.

“Well, but, Miss Clara, I was not convinced that the knights who came to support us would be so easy to find…”
Everyone nodded inwardly at Hilda’s words. Even if the former assassin Doris ran at full speed, it would take several minutes to reach the royal castle, and how long would it take for the knights to understand this, prepare their equipment, and arrive?
Even if they hurry as much as possible, it will still take a quarter of an hour for the main body to arrive… Even if Doris brings the Fifth Order members first, it will still take a while for them to arrive.
“Higgu–”
Another knight has been killed. No, Clara and the others could only watch as the knight who had been captured by the demon was held in its arms and died, screaming in a voice that could not be heard.
How much longer can they hold out? There are only five knights left, including the captain.
“Hold on… just a little longer…”
Clara tells them to hold on. What did she see in her “foresight”?
One of the two possibilities is not here.
But–
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge amount of magical power filled the area, and the demon was engulfed in a blast of flames along with the knight’s corpse.
Lit up by the flames, a young woman in a white dress with jet-black hair fluttering in the wind was floating in the night sky, letting out a joyful voice as she spread a huge amount of killing intent.
“What are you doing, ‘playing’ in my garden?”
