chapter 24
Demon Hunt(4)
His steps are light, his fists heavy.
A sentence that seems to have been heard somewhere. I didn’t understand it then, but I think I can understand it now.
Every time I move my feet, I feel the sound of the ground. His senses were extremely tense, and he seemed to draw out his natural power to the maximum.
It has the characteristic of being a genius, and it has a penalty called a time limit.
Deron’s body was warning.
You must not fight the opponent in front of you.
“Woo!”
With the help of Ruberic’s body, the demons descended to this land.
Originally, he should have appeared in the middle of the plaza at the Spring Festival, but I have now appeared with a twist.
To be honest, it was somewhat intentional.
What could be better for the demon to descend at the upcoming Spring Festival?
If you’d rather appear, it’s better to appear inside the academy to minimize damage.
To reduce rumors.
My body trembled at the cry of the demons. He didn’t have any particular intention to kill, but his body reacted only to the presence of magical energy.
“Are you okay!?”
As soon as the interference was resolved, Professor Akdin ran to me.
are you okay?
I couldn’t answer that, so I just nodded my head without saying a word.
“This… no way?”
“It’s a demon. Perhaps.”
Seeing him scratching his body and screaming in pain as if in pain, it doesn’t seem like he’s a complete descendant.
There were also signs of this in the original. However, at that time, the fact that the demons had descended and the evacuation of citizens were the priority, so it was not easy to deal with.
But now it’s different.
There are no citizens to evacuate. I see students wandering in surprise, but Professor Akdin exists.
It’s a better situation than the original, where there were no professors and only students had to stop him.
Still, it’s hard to catch him.
Incomplete Advent, a better situation than the original. So it is ‘difficult’.
Academy Hero became the first main boss. high-ranking demons.
Morax
He came out of the Demon Realm and used most of his power, but nonetheless, most of the main character and party were overwhelmed.
In this way, for the first time in the novel, the boss who announces the dangers of demons.
Ruberic is the true name of the demons who would have known that he was Dante.
For Morax, whose superiority itself has an infinite advantage over magic, only an attack through an aura works.
This is because the hard shell that wraps around the body absorbs almost all magic-based attacks it touches on the surface.
However, if you ask if the auror works completely, it is not.
A low level aura can only inflict a scratch, and an intermediate level aura can inflict proper damage.
At this point, readers of the novel will understand.
‘Oh, I can’t just catch this guy.’
Of course. After all, this guy is a boss to unlock the hero’s characteristic, the hero.
A boss who, in his unconscious mind, uses the power of a hero to defeat the protagonist, who witnessed a colleague who had been close enough to fall mercilessly.
But now, it is an event mob that I have to kill everyone and raid.
**
Kang!
“no. It’s completely blocked.”
Even in Class A, a student who would be embarrassed to be second in power, Ziggs tried to beat it with a blunt, but the curtain did not move.
Ruberic was talking with Deron and suddenly made a strange noise, and a vicious energy spread a veil in all directions.
Sophia, who sensed a strange feeling, tried to get out of the gym with everyone, regardless of A and B.
completely blocked off
“What’s happening… .”
“What are those black things in the sky?”
Instead of clouds, black energy floats in the sky.
The students screamed in fear or knocked on the curtain, but nothing happened.
Sophia clenched her teeth. No matter how hard he knocked on the veil, he couldn’t find a way to escape, so he had to find another way.
‘But how?’
I don’t see a way at all. It was always her job to find a solution.
In town and in the academy.
“Everyone was here.”
Then suddenly a voice was heard. Sophia shook her head and looked to where the sound was coming from.
It was Deron who appeared suddenly.
The person who had been fighting against Ruberic came back without a single wound.
Professor Akdin was by his side.
“professor?”
The gloomy atmosphere has improved a bit. If you have a professor, you can still find a way.
“The demon has descended.”
But in the next moment, the professor’s words were enough to bring the students’ mood down to the extreme.
demon.
An existence that I had only heard of and had never encountered at all. But the horror that I heard from mouth to mouth and from book to book.
It didn’t take long for the students to spread the fear.
Fortunately, no one was screaming.
As a student of the Iliad Academy, he had a level of maturity that was not appropriate for his age.
The problem is, though, that he is a student who has not yet thrown out his youthful tee.
Sophia approached Professor Akdin and reported the situation.
It was similar to the report of personnel after hunting, which was mainly done in the village.
“Ten students in Class A. Class B 9 students. Everyone is here except for Ruberic Keias.”
“Is Ruberic the only loser?”
“That’s right.”
Akdin nodded as if he understood. But instead of stepping back, Sophia asked a question.
“It is currently impossible to escape due to the veil. Do you have any other way?”
“You have to catch the demons.”
There, Deron, who was quietly listening to the story, spoke up.
Sophia frowned, wondering if she didn’t like the outsider interrupting her conversation with the professor.
“I think it will be possible now… .”
“Deron is right.”
Sophia widened her eyes. Professor Akdin agrees with Deron?
So, does that mean we really have to catch that demon?
Whether she opened her eyes wide or not, Deron continued explaining.
“Even though high-ranking demons have appeared, their condition is not good as they forcefully descend. Besides, Ruberic’s condition was also the worst, so he must be resting now. As time goes by, it will regain its original strength.”
“So what if I attack him now? Guaranteed to win.”
“Are you going to try only if there is a guarantee that you can win?”
Sophia wanted to pursue her own safety. If you stick with it anyway, other professors will come to you.
But Deron’s answer was unexpected.
“What… .”
“I can’t get out because of the veil, and there’s no other way out. The opponent becomes stronger over time.”
Deron continued with a smirk.
“What, isn’t this an environment for running raids?”
“… … Other professors could break this veil.”
“Other professors are good. It would be better if the dean came. But, what if that time is late? If it’s late, the demons recover faster.”
he asserted
“We all die. all.”
Die. Sophia’s eyes trembled at the words too heavy.
Death is far away for everyone, but when you look into it, it is near.
But always, a concept I want to believe is far away.
The moment the concept came out of Deron’s mouth, the death he spoke of flashed through Sophia’s mind.
She opened her mouth, barely chasing the sound of death in her head.
“But that is a very unrealistic process. Everyone was terrified just by looking at the aura that I was feeling right now. Even if we all run together, there is no chance of winning.”
Sophia’s opinion is realistic and reasonable. No one was injured, and after standing in this position, they wait for rescue.
That coolness and flexible thinking will lead her to become an Archmage.
“To be honest, the risk is too high.”
But when Deron heard her story, he opened his mouth and spit out words.
“Risk is only when you have a place to retreat. Sophia. can you survive here? Good idea. Unless he grows exponentially stronger.”
Sophia’s gaze turned to Professor Akdin. Is it really what Deron said? I stare at you, hoping I’m wrong.
But Professor Akdin nodded. Deron was right.
Seeing her nod, she shut her mouth momentarily.
As long as the professor agreed, Sophia could not think of any other way out of this situation.
“I don’t mean to kill. He’s literally resting. All we have to do is disrupt our rest. That’s it.”
all silence. All of a sudden, the students were listening to Sophia and Deron.
Deron was called the shame of aristocrats, but considering what he has shown so far.
And if you think about it, you’re not saying it’s wrong.
He had come up with a credible opinion of his own.
“I’m not going to ask everyone to go.”
Deron stepped back, and Professor Akdin opened his mouth.
“It’s just a waste of time. You will be fighting on the front lines against the demons. Students who are frightened may stay here.”
Akdin, who decided to follow Deron’s judgment, spoke to the students gathered in one place.
“that… that. It’s like deciding who dies first.”
One of the students exclaimed.
But no one denies his answer.
Even Professor Arcdin.
Because it is a word that penetrates the core.
“You have to choose.”
Instead of arguing against the student’s words, Akdin offered two options.
“Stay here waiting to be rescued, or go with me to disrupt the rest of the sleeping demon.”
Everyone was silent.
The first option is very attractive, but nobody can’t pick the second one.
As long as I listened to Deron.
“I will follow.”
It started with Agnes. In her hand, there was a cleavage. Jeolyeong exhaled a chill as if wishing for a fight at any moment.
“I will go too.”
Following her, Adele with brown hair raised her hand.
Along with Deron, he is the strongest among the current first year students.
The possessor of overwhelming divine power.
If she had the divine power to be reminiscent of a saint, she would be able to inflict great damage on demons as well.
After that, Sophia sighed.
With her red hair exposed, Erina Pilstein applied for the saboteur.
“Is there any more?”
The students do not respond to Professor Akdin’s cry or Agnes’ gaze.
First encounter in practice.
In addition, the fear of dying soon turns their gaze away.
When Professor Akdin’s gaze subsided.
Finally, a voice was heard.
“I will go too.”
A thin, feminine voice.
A man who stands out as a woman as well as a man.
“Lee Han. There are seven of you.”
The main character, Lee Han.
Deron’s gaze stayed on Lee Han, who stepped forward.
