chapter 25
Episode 25 – Siruntel Demon Lord (2)
25. Ciruntel Demon Lord (2)
No. 1 Tower of Welcome.
The martial arts club Class G cadets were chatting loudly and waiting for the instructor in charge to arrive.
‘I’m bored.’
Feeling extremely bored.
Celia is getting bruised in the back.
She twirled her hair for no reason and looked around to see if there was anything to relieve her boredom.
Suddenly, Leon’s face appeared in her mind.
“Hmm.”
Wherever I go these days, all I hear is Leon’s story.
Originally, he was quite famous for the many things he accomplished.
After catching the chimera in level 10, there was no one at the academy who did not know Leon’s name.
‘As expected, it’s amazing.’
Celia was very proud and proud that Leon was her friend.
I feel pure joy when I see others doing well.
It was an amazing feeling that was unfamiliar to her.
In fact, she had originally liked Leon’s outspoken personality.
It would be correct to say that she was her ideal type that she had never known before.
It may seem reckless at first glance, but it has everything in mind behind it.
Even if you are just starting out, you have excellent skills to back it up.
Perhaps that is why he always acted without hesitation as he thought was right.
Not long ago, while passing by on the streets of Elaim, I hit a kid who was trying to pickpocket me a few times.
He even went to the gangsters who ordered it and turned all 13 of them into a mess.
There was a time when people were tied together with a single rope and thrown at the security guard.
Celia was deeply moved when she saw her like that.
She began to think that she wanted to be like Leon, a very dangerous thought.
Is that why?
As her eyes landed on the inside of her training ground, her will to win rose.
’10 Steps, 10 steps…. ‘That’s cool.’
When Celia previously challenged the phantom monster battle, she was blocked at level 8.
She felt the urge to try again.
“Good.”
After making her decision, she approached her instructor and asked if she wanted to try Step 8.
“Uh… Sure.”
The instructor, who received the strong look in her eyes that said she would not accept any objections, readily accepted.
Considering that she was the representative of her class, ranked 5th, and the youngest daughter of the Duke of Hellbridge, this kind of request was not a big deal.
It will take about 5 minutes at most.
Deuddeudeudeudeuk!!
······And the instructor immediately regrets that decision.
* · * *
Soil that crumbles and crumbles.
Red sky and black sun.
A mixture of demonic energy flows in the air, and a gloomy, haunting sound occasionally resounds.
A background reminiscent of hell.
Sharp! Dump!
25 Cadets fell from the air there.
“Ugh…”
“Woman, where is this again!?”
Blame.
As soon as Leon landed on the ground, he took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it.
“Leon, Leon! “What the hell is this place…!”
“Magyeong.”
“······!”
Carotene looked around her and then she roughly ran her fingers through her hair and cursed her words.
“Holy sh*t…”
Because I realized that what he said was accurate.
“Fuuu······. “Guys, gather around.”
As Leon’s mana-filled voice rang out softly, the cadets’ attention immediately focused.
“Everyone noticed the situation, right? “It seems like there was an error in the Tower of Illusion and it was transferred to the wrong location.”
The cadets seemed unable to believe what Leon said.
In all these years, I have never heard of the Tower of Illusion being broken.
“And as you can see just by looking around a little, this is the magic world. And seeing that the magic energy is so thick, I think it’s the center.”
The cadets’ faces turned even whiter.
It was as if someone had suddenly dragged him by the collar and thrown him into the middle of a battlefield.
It was really hard to believe, and I didn’t even want to believe it.
The soggy maggi that I could clearly feel throughout my body made it impossible to deny the reality.
It could not possibly be dismissed as an illusion or a dream.
Leon took a deep breath of his smoke and continued.
“Well, there’s nothing to be so scared of. “You’ve been training for a time like this, right?”
“””······.”””
“The academy won’t be idle either, so they’ll come to the rescue soon.”
However.
Same tone and tone as usual.
Relaxed smile and posture.
The cadets felt their anxiety subside little by little due to Leon’s attitude that it was no big deal.
As Leon led the class, the cadets were relying on him knowingly or unknowingly.
“Everyone, just keep your head straight. “With this much power, you can take down most magical beasts without much effort.”
It was indeed so.
If there were more than 20 expert-level fighters gathered together, one would be safe.
‘And now that Magias is dead, it will be much less dangerous.’
According to the original work, Magias’ minions would have come out from here and threatened the cadets.
Since Magias has already been killed by Bergov, the enemy he will face here will be at best a demonic beast.
“As we saw in that strange space a little while ago, other classes were drawn into this as well as us. “It would be safer to join them if possible.”
“Divide the formation into 5 groups and use the breakthrough formation we always practiced.”
“If you continue east from here, you will come across Class B. “You can join them.”
Leon quickly gives instructions.
The cadets who sensed something strange gave them questioning looks, but Leon continued speaking without paying any heed.
“And you, Carotene, will take charge of the first group instead of me.”
“······Wait a minute, Leon. “What does that mean?”
Carotene grabbed Leon’s shoulder with a serious face.
“Where are you going?”
“Didn’t you see it earlier? “Celia was alone.”
Leon spoke calmly as if he was going to have dinner outside today.
“I have to go pick it up.”
“······What?”
Carotene gaped at her mouth, not knowing where to begin.
“No, Leon! What?!”
“Where are you going alone?!”
It seems like you are saying something absurd.
The cadets’ cries overtook Leon.
Of course, this is the magic world.
Walking around alone in the center, where there is a passage directly connected to the demon world, seemed like an act of suicide.
It was natural for the cadets to get scared and yell at Leon.
“Oh, that’s right! “Isn’t there that brooch that the intelligence department gave you last time?”
A golden brooch that, if broken, will bring the imperial knights.
Leon stopped Carotene, who was panting and searching through her arms.
“Nothing.”
“······?”
“We couldn’t get over the artifact together. “I guess my mana sensitivity wasn’t right.”
So, the subspace pouch that Leon loved disappeared.
This is something that even Leon didn’t expect.
‘Is it because Billy doesn’t use artifacts?’
In the original work, such detailed information was not written.
“And the spear that Celia always uses. “That’s an artifact too, right?”
“······!”
Carotene was stunned.
That’s right.
The length and shape can be changed at will.
Celia’s spear, Livgium, specially made to contain spirit power, was an expensive artifact.
That is to say.
“Celia fell here without a weapon.”
* · * *
Leon shook off his hands and threw the butt on the ground.
After smoking tobacco, my head became clearer and my mana felt more delicate.
Leon didn’t start off with one blow right before the battle for no reason.
“I don’t have time to talk like this, Carotene. “The monsters that have caught your scent will soon come rushing in, so you have to move quickly.”
There was no particular reason why Leon wanted to move alone.
Because the cadets were more of a nuisance than a help.
He had to travel as fast as possible to reach Celia, but it was clear that the cadets would not be able to keep up with his speed.
‘Well, carotene would be fine…’
Carotene had to lead the rest of the cadets here.
Someone who could give command in the middle of the formation was absolutely necessary, and he was the only one who could be trusted.
Looking at it objectively, it was best for Leon to go alone.
Carotene also knows this, so he looks at Leon and the cadets in turn.
Leon is Leon, but Celia was also a precious friend to him.
If we catch Leon here, it means we should just throw away Celia.
In the end, Carotene let out a long sigh.
“······Be careful, Leon.”
Leon smiled at him, telling him not to worry.
“Group 1 goes first, group 2 goes to the left! Group 4 is on the right! “Teams 3 and 5 are in charge of the rear!”
Carotene began to gather the cadets and form a formation.
While moving to their respective positions, the Class A cadets glanced back at Leon.
Respect, concern, fear, regret, concern.
Numerous emotions passed through their eyes.
It’s because Leon, who is the spiritual leader of Class A, suddenly falls out.
However, Leon was not too worried.
You may be embarrassed by the sudden outbreak of a real battle, but Class A will take care of itself.
‘Because I trained you to do that.’
All the necessary information was explained to Carotene.
If you follow his instructions carefully, nothing will go wrong.
There was someone else to worry about now.
Paaat!
Avoiding the gazes of the cadets, Leon kicked the ground hard and took off.
‘After saving Celia, you can join Class J.’
According to the original, Class G and Class J would be in the closest location.
Blame, crackle!
A remnant remained behind Leon, and the new model spread out like the wind.
“Kooooo!”
A magical beast suddenly jumped out in front.
Sreung!
Leon pulled out his sword and swung it with its bell at the same time.
Suddenly!
The demonic beast was divided into two halves and gave way without any help.
As he passed between the dismembered corpses, black, hot blood was sprayed on him.
Stickiness and a fishy taste ran up his face.
Leon paid no heed and increased his speed even further.
—To save my damn friend.
