Chapter 52: Awakening

In the game, the timing of Eterna’s awakening would change slightly depending on the route you were on, but it more or less always followed the same pattern.

On Eterna’s route, she would first become aware of her abilities during the Farah event, but she still wouldn’t fully awaken until the real trigger: the monster attack during the third semester. The army led by the demon monkey would reach the academy, and as she witnessed the students and teachers die one by one at the monsters’ hands, Eterna would finally awaken.

Obviously, that event wouldn’t happen in this world—I’d already taken care of that army a while ago.

However, as it turned out, Eterna had still awakened under entirely different circumstances. She didn’t even seem aware of what was happening around her. Considering what happened in the game, that didn’t surprise me as much. In Kuon no Sanaka, Eterna was overwhelmed by her new powers and lost control after awakening. She basically moved on autopilot with only one goal in mind: to fulfill her duties as the saint.

In the game, Verner and the rest of her team had helped her come to her senses by calling her name. Before they managed to do that, though, Eterna had mindlessly slaughtered all of the monsters that had stood in her path. She’d even pushed those who tried to stop her from doing her duty out of her way. She hadn’t actually hurt any of them, so I’d always assumed Eterna wouldn’t attack humans, but...

“No. You can’t...take Verner away. He can’t die—not again. No. I won’t allow it... I need...to kill them all. All of the monsters...” she whispered, a vacant look in her eyes.

It sounded like Eterna was confusing us with monsters. She’s gonna attack us, isn’t she?

Eterna pointed the staff I’d given her at me and started gathering mana at the tip.

“What are you doing, Eterna?!” Layla exclaimed, reaching for her sword moving to shield me from Eterna. “I won’t stand by and let you hurt Lady Ellize!”

I immediately rested my hand on Layla’s shoulder to stop her and walked right past her.

“Eterna seems to be mistaking us for monsters, Layla,” I explained.

“She thinks we’re monsters?!”

“Can you see the lucifero flower on the floor next to her? The pollen of that flower can cause hallucinations and a loss of reality.”

Lucifero pollen could be used as a drug. It didn’t even have side effects. From what I knew, there weren’t many users anymore, but in the past, tons of people had turned to drug use to escape their harsh living conditions.

Random dudette’s flower must’ve fallen off when Layla had pushed her and landed next to Eterna’s face. I wouldn’t have expected something like that to work on the saint, but now that Eterna was out of her mind, the situation would be...tricky to handle.

The lucifero flower had been stuck to random dudette’s head the entire time the octopus had her covered in dark magic. Some of its mana had probably seeped into the flower.
