chapter 28
Episode 28 – Siruntel Demon Lord (5)
28. Ciruntel Demon Lord (5)
Not long after the Burrow incident, the academy was turned upside down again.
This incident was even more shocking than the last one.
The fact that the Tower of Illusion caused a problem is something that has never happened even once in the long years that the Academy has been in operation.
Alcyon Serzhev, Dean of Elprime Academy.
He kicked in the door of Tower 1 with a look of urgency.
“What happened!”
Inside, numerous instructors and professors were already in their seats.
Alcion asked again among the wizard professors who were of high level.
“How do you feel?”
“······That.”
The professors sweated profusely and explained the general situation.
One of the tower’s magic spells is distorted, causing a chain reaction that causes errors in all other spells.
In the process, warp magic was activated, and all the cadets inside were transferred to a specific location.
Leaving only the artifacts they were wearing on the ground.
“······.”
Alcyon was dumbfounded by the absurdity.
Since he was a high-ranking wizard who studied magic diligently, he knew that it was something that could happen.
However, that is literally only a possibility.
An accident like this occurred against a very slim probability.
“Huh… True. No.”
Alcyon, who had been dazed, quickly came to his senses.
That wasn’t what was important now.
First of all, we had to check the safety of the cadets.
“So, where on earth did it metastasize?”
“It’s hard to figure that out. “Because the magic and magic are so complicated…”
“······Is that so?”
Alcyon tilted his head and went directly into the training room.
He is a high-ranking magician of the 7th circle, just before the 8th circle, who can also be called an archmage.
There was no wizard of a higher level than him in the academy.
“······Hmm.”
He closed his eyes and frowned as he tried to trace the reverberation of mana.
Like a bunch of twisted threads.
Hundreds or thousands of magic techniques and dozens of magical qualities were all tangled together in an awkward manner.
“I guess I was wrong.”
In the first place, the Tower of Illusion was a structure built with great effort by numerous archmages.
The structure was broken, but it was a misjudgment that the faculty could solve it by working together.
Even if the Grand Wizard came in person, it wouldn’t be enough.
“I guess I’ll have to go to the capital.”
Alcyon made a decision quickly.
In this case, the right thing to do was to go to the capital and ask the great wizard directly for help.
The Tower of Illusion’s breakdown is an unprecedented situation, so they will come to investigate the situation without much hesitation.
Alcion headed to his office at a fast pace.
However.
Alcyon, instructors, and professors.
Even other cadets snooping around.
Up to this point, no one was too worried.
If it had been transferred to a random location, I thought it would have ended up in one of the southern or eastern parts of the empire, near Elprime.
And all of the cadets who were swept away were 18 years old.
Everyone was old enough to go to their own home.
Even if you end up in a remote place where there are no people.
They are all warriors who have mastered martial arts, so I should be able to keep my body intact.
People at the scene even expected that most of the cadets would return to the academy on their own.
It was difficult to see it as complacency.
It was difficult to conceive of them flying all the way to the western edge of the empire and crashing down into the heart of the demon world that opened up there, unless you had a very strong imagination.
Even if it occurred to me, it would be considered unfounded.
The list of cadets who were swept away included Leon Crusif, Carotene Bastio, Celia Hellbridge, and the princess Esabel, so Alcion was in a hurry.
‘···How can something like this happen?’
Al Sion clicked his tongue and chanted the teleportation spell.
* · * *
Wow!
Claws slashing through Celia’s chest.
Through the long spray of fresh blood, a fist bursting and crushed is fired.
Wow!
The sound of bones breaking.
Did it come from a demonic beast, or from her fist?
It seems like it’s not important.
Celia hit the guy in the chin with all her might with her outstretched foot.
Puck!
The demon flew backwards and fell, but Celia did not rush in to finish her off.
“Krrr!”
“Kyaaa!”
There wasn’t just one enemy here.
Once again, with difficulty.
Celia forced her legs to move, crying out in pain.
“Ugh!”
An unwanted moan escapes from her mouth.
I thought it was ugly and tried to force myself to swallow it.
“Sigh! “Bwa…!”
The excruciating pain is at a level that is difficult to withstand with mental strength.
Her tear glands automatically activate in response to dizzying stimulation.
“Tsk…!”
Water was forming around her eyes.
Puyeji was bothered by the sight and tried to lick it with her hand, but it only got worse because of the abundant blood flowing.
It’s blurry and dark before my eyes.
Dark ears with sharp tinnitus ringing.
Her senses became dull, as if she were dreaming.
“Kooooo!”
“Kyeeek!”
The cries of the demonic beasts got closer.
“······.”
Celia glanced behind her.
Numerous black shapes undulating between the withered trees.
The tree that was hit by the large monsters broke.
In the meantime, four-legged beasts run like dogs.
They are as agile as monkeys and approach by climbing over healthy trees.
The murderous spirit they emit is so intense.
Celia bit her tongue hard to steady her hazy mind.
······.
How long did it run like that?
Celia grabbed hold of her consciousness, which had been cut off several times, and forced her body to move, saying it could no longer move.
“Haa…Haa…?”
She eventually stopped on her feet.
“······.”
As she emerges from the bushes, what stands in her way is something.
A high cliff that appears to be dozens of meters high fills the field of view.
“······Ah.”
The smooth wall, with no room for her to step on it, feels so vulgar.
Even if I were given a ladder, I didn’t know if I could climb it, and with my stamina, it was a long shot to get over this cliff.
“Ha…”
Celia let out a small laugh.
She stopped running and slowly walked forward.
Swoosh swoosh.
Her shaking hands smoothed the stone wall.
Sincerely and carefully.
Slowly draw a line on the wall.
Soon, something was drawn on a pitch-black stone using red blood as ink.
A deer with four horns placed in the center of a crossed window.
Leaving behind the Hellbridge family crest, Celia turned her back.
“Giggle.”
Her smile had already turned into a smile.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
With the sound of heavy footsteps, demonic beasts came out of the forest she had passed through.
They finally realized that their prey’s flight was over and slowed down.
“Krrr······!”
“Keee!”
Welcoming the end of the long chase.
The demonic beasts are closing in on all three sides of Celia, except for the cliff behind her.
It’s like I can already imagine that sweet taste.
Steamy saliva drips from the wide-open mouth.
Like a gourmet before eating, his flaring nose took a deep breath of her scent.
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
Despite the horrifying sight, Celia’s smile did not disappear.
What do I need to say?
She took her stance, raising both her fists.
Like a warrior who does not give up even when the blade enters the tip of his chin.
Like a fighter who won’t stop fighting as long as he remains conscious.
Celia did not stop fighting until the very end.
“What are you doing?”
If this was truly the end, she wanted to die as a noble warrior until the end.
“Go for it, you bastards.”
It is impossible to believe that a dying young girl is emitting such a magnificent fighting spirit.
Finch!
Dozens of demonic beasts froze in an instant at that bloody force.
But that only lasts for a moment.
“······Kaaa!”
As if he was embarrassed for hesitating.
Her goons rushed at her, firing at her body at the same time.
Ddddddddddd!
A huge black tsunami rushing in furiously that seemed too much for a small girl.
“Whew.”
Celia squeezed her hands tightly.
“Haaap!”
Pour all your remaining strength into it.
She threw out her fist for the last time in her life.
And.
Second form of Jecheon Geombeop (制天劍法), Manunbicheon (萬雲飛天).
Clouds falling from the sky.
—The enemies were divided all at once.
>
It is a storm of blades.
At the feast of pouring blue sword clouds.
The blood, flesh, and bones of the enemies disintegrate one by one and leap into the air.
Dozens of magical beasts helplessly exploding like firecrackers.
Dark blue blood pours in, and the final words resound like an ensemble.
The scene is so unrealistic.
Celia froze in the same posture as she had stretched out her fist and closed her eyes.
Blame.
And when she saw the back of the man lightly landing in front of her, she became stunned.
A body covered in torn wounds and covered in copious amounts of black blood.
“Are you okay?”
When he turned his head, there was a half-burned piece of tobacco in the corner of his mouth.
Sigh.
As I draw a cheerful smile, the wound on my cheek opens and blood flows.
The ferocious red eyes were like those of a wild beast.
“······.”
Nevertheless, there was concern in the gaze scanning her wound.
The sight of a man with his back to the corpses of countless enemies is so strong and beautiful.
It feels like I grabbed her hand and pulled her up as she was falling into hell.
“Really.”
Celia let out a hearty laugh.
“When you appear this cool, you can’t help but fall in love.”
