I Broke Off My Engagement and Got a Job at the Academy

93. Declaration of War

Acantiras walked around with a tearful smile on his face. Wherever he went, frost began to fall.

Originally, the water spirit could only control the power of pure water. However, what Akantiras was using now was the power of cold. It was a power that had been corrupted by mixing the power of water and black magic.

And the sight created by the power of the mutated superior spirit could not be described in any other way than as horrific.

“What the… a frost storm is suddenly coming!”

“It’s hail! We have to stop it!”

Weak. Weak. How weak can he be? Released from the spirit realm after hundreds of years, Akantiras was intoxicated with a power that was incomparable to that of his incarnation.

Yes. This is the power of the spirit itself. How miserable and angry it must have been when it was forcibly sealed by the spirit king. The past when it was stuck at the very bottom of the spirit world and couldn’t move an inch is now over.

Akantiras looked at the green-haired girl trapped in the ice crystal. A girl of extraordinary beauty. The girl was a sacrifice, a summoning item that gave him magical power.

“Ahh… good, good.”

As he said that, Akantiras began to scatter his power indiscriminately. Along with that, the spirits that were forcibly controlled by Akantiras also went berserk.

After firing off his strength like that for a while, Akantiras paused for a moment and then remembered something.

“Ah, now that I think about it, those who gave this girl to me said something.”

In exchange for freeing himself by using the girl, he asked her to cooperate with him. Thinking about that, Akantiras snickered.

“Hmm… What should I do?”

Since they were already free, there was no need to keep their promises to the humans. They said they were like mines and warlocks, but in the eyes of Acantiras, they were just humans.

“What is Mine? He must be a hybrid human with some demon blood mixed in. He’s closer to humans than demons, so how can he have the word ‘demon’ in his mouth?”

Akantiras was a spirit that existed hundreds of years ago, and even before that, so he remembered the time when demons still existed in Middle-earth.

In his view, the black magicians of the Mine Tribe and such were far from being worthy of being called descendants of the Demon Tribe.

But what can I do? In the end, I was able to escape the spirit world with the help of those warlocks.

The important thing was not that, but whether or not to accept the humans’ offer. Acanthiras made a sound.

“Well, they’re guys that would be quite troublesome if you were to confront them… Well, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

After Akantiras decided to do as he had originally planned, he landed among the warlocks. Then the warlock sitting at the top of the table made a rattling sound and said,

“Oh, you came. I was worried that you might not come.”

At those words, Acantiras, sighed, a smile appeared on his lips. And then he said.

“What were you going to do if I didn’t come?”

At those words the warlock said, running his wrinkled and warty hands through his beard.

“Well, well… Since you broke the contract, I’m sure they found a way to punish you somehow. I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think you’ll get treated well… .”

At those words, Acantiras made a squeak and crumpled his face. He thought they were easy because they were humans, but they were not as easy as he thought. It seemed that the moment he betrayed them, they would try to use a sinister method.

“Okay. So, what was it that you wanted? Tell me about it.”

“Oh, yes. There is only one thing we ask. Just keep the whole of High Mountain in chaos. That is all we ask ‘now’.”

When he heard those words, Akantiras frowned. ‘Now.’ That Goyan Warlock didn’t even hide his intention to use him. At that sight, Akantiras was so angry that he thought he would go wild… but he soon stopped himself.

‘That damn human guy is not as easy as I thought.’

At least a high-level spirit, a black magician of the level equivalent to a high expert by the standards of Middle-earth. If you treat him lightly and underestimate him, you could end up in a bad situation.

However, the newly released corrupted spirit had no intention of being bound to anything any longer. It was planning to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy not only the warlock but also the organization he belonged to.

In any case, it would take more time for that to happen. In the end, Akantiras nodded with a dissatisfied expression.

And, the black magician who saw the appearance of Acantiras snickered.

As expected. As expected, the liberated water spirit seemed to be quite emotional.

The water spirit is a spirit that values ​​reason. Basically, spirits are often capricious, but the water spirit is a spirit that values ​​its contractor and itself no matter what happens, so it is a spirit with high evaluation.

However, Akantiras’s reason was clouded. The reason was obvious. Akantiras was originally a spirit corrupted by black magic.

That is why the spirit, who had acted rationally and prudently enough to deceive Giselle Irkali when she was incarnated, was now showing signs of considerably heightened emotions.

The warlock looked at Acanthiras and thought to himself. Seeing him being so impulsive and unable to hide his emotions, it would be easy to lead him in the direction he wanted.

…

And, it wasn’t just the Academy that was flustered in that situation.

Members of the Moonlight Knights. Among them, Garham, who was in charge of this mission, made a tsk.

“What the fuck, what the hell is going on….”

The original mission they received from the Emperor was to kidnap Eden Cainus. That’s why they were targeting Eden Cainus now that the Academy’s personnel had left the Academy.

But what on earth is this? The members of the Moonlight Knights had no choice but to stiffen their faces in the face of this completely unimaginable natural disaster.

“…First, we deploy a barrier and hold out until it becomes quiet.”

If there were a ‘Gourmet’, it would be possible to completely escape the influence of High Mountain. After all, the natural phenomena of High Mountain are also phenomena created by the magic of the spirits.

But there is nothing I can do. No. Rather, now that I have personally experienced how valuable the magic of being an explorer is, doesn’t it become a mission that I must complete even more?

The Moonlight Knights’ purpose is to the Emperor. They follow the Emperor, eliminate those who pose a threat to the Imperial Family and the Empire, and take what is beneficial to the Empire. These are the knights who can only exist in the darkness.

So, this operation must succeed. If it fails, there is nothing left to do.

In a sense, it could be seen as the last move of the modern emperor. Something like that cannot be stopped by a natural phenomenon.

As Garham was thinking like that, an old man wearing a black robe appeared in front of him.

“Kuh, this is just like a rat getting drenched in rain. I’m talking about knights of the prestigious empire.”

After hearing that, Garham lost his temper and instead of running away, he chose to judge the person in front of him.

“…Who are you?”

“Who are you? Hehehe, aren’t you familiar with it already?”

“You’re a black magician.”

As Garham spoke, his crew members all drew their swords.

“Are you in your right mind, a warlock, daring to come before us?”

“Ah, yes, yes. Of course I’m sane. Compared to idiots like you, of course I’m sane.”

Garham nodded to his crew and said.

“The warlock seems to have gone mad. I will send him to God.”

Then, the warlock raised his staff. It was a staff shaped like a tree and a human spine intertwined. A red ruby ​​was set into the skull at the end.

When he saw that, Garham’s face crumpled. The spirit contained in the staff was unusual. It couldn’t be an ordinary black magician. He shouted at his crew members.

“Don’t let your guard down even for a moment! I’ve been judged to be a high-expert level warlock. One wrong move, and your heads could be blown off in an instant!”

Then the black magician spoke, grumbling.

“What are you talking about? It’s already started.”

Along with that, Garham’s vision began to darken.

‘A curse that takes away your vision!’

Garham hurriedly suppressed the curse with his magic power and spoke.

“It’s the curse of blindness! Everyone, suppress the curse with your magic power!”

“Wow, you react so quickly. Is it because you’re not the type of guy who’s killed a warlock once or twice? Huh?”

Without saying anything in response, Garham began to infuse his sword with magic power. Then the warlock let out a loud noise, and behind him, people wearing black robes appeared.

“Listen carefully, you idiots of the Empire. We intend to kill you all and take Eden Cainus. If there is a way to stop it, do it.”

It was a declaration of war.
