75. Mine Terror
Morgan is a really, really powerful mage, but she’s just a mage after all.
Wizards do not have the means to kill demons.
Alchemy magic can create things like silver, but that alone doesn’t have much effect on higher level demons.
It’s impossible to kill, so you have to thoroughly destroy the body to prevent it from moving.
-Ah..aaa!!! It hurts… It hurts!!!!!
Not a single thing penetrated the body, and everything bounced off, but it looks like it hurts.
He went on the offensive quickly.
“Bloom Hurricane!”
The whirlpool blew away the black mist that protected the devil’s surroundings.
“Gravity Press!!”
An invisible force oppresses the devil
“Stone filler! Stone Spike..!!”
Dozens of stone pillars fell from the sky, causing the demon to kneel, and thorns of pure silver rose from the floor and pierced the demon’s body.
I tried to suppress it with all kinds of mass and pierce it with a thorn of pure silver, but this is just wasting time.
She knew that elemental attacks like this would be of no use to Mine, but to pass the time, she had to constantly bombard her, even if she thought it was a pointless attack.
-It hurts.. It hurts, it hurts!!!! It hurts!!!!!!
Fortunately, Mine screamed as if she felt the pain.
Maine Margaret, who had reacted more severely than before, knelt down and said cursingly as she looked at her Morgan floating in the sky.
-Why.. Are you only doing this to me..! You… I can’t forgive… !!!!
Looking closely, I could see that the thorns of her sprouting body had been lodged in Margaret’s smooth abdomen, and blood was pouring out.
In the hands of the purple giant, Majin Margaret, a huge amount of demonic energy gathered and began to form into the shape of a sword.
It looked like a club with black flames blazing roaring, and it was at least 4m long, as it was tailored to Margaret, a 5m tall horse.
“Wow..?!”
Right after that, Morgan sensed a crisis.
Because I could see the stone pillars breaking and I could feel the gravity press pushing.
-You too!! Dying!!!!!
Mine Margaret shattered all the stone pillars that held her back, and she swung her black aura blade.
From the trajectory of the swinging sword, sword energy composed of pitch-black demonic air erupted, and the special arena was split in two.
As soon as Morgan sensed her danger, she fled with Blink, so she was not harmed, but if she realized it too late, she would have been in danger.
Margaret’s attack, which split the large special arena into two halves, was to the point of burying several demons left in her arena as well.
“It makes my heart fall..!”
Margaret suddenly turned.
She could tell which direction she was headed.
It was in the direction of the main building where all the students evacuated.
Defense magic is activated in the main building, and the professors are using the defense magic as a starting point to defeat the demons.
Every attack so far has been fine, but that black aura blade is dangerous.
“You can’t go there..!!”
She doesn’t know how much longer she can hold out, but as the principal of the academy, she has to stop that.
Mine Margaret raised her black burning aura blade high into the sky.
The plan is to send the black sword that split the special arena in two.
I saw that power clearly a while ago.
If you hit that thing, even if it’s a bit far away, the main building’s defense magic will be canceled.
“No..!! Your opponent is me!!!”
A lot of magic was created around Morgan and fired at Margaret.
Margaret spurted thick demonic energy from her face to defend against the magic, so she didn’t take much damage.
-aaa!!!
I hit the black aura blade at the main building, and along the trail, a jet-black sword of darkness radiated out.
Just like when the stadium was split in two, the swordsmanship moved forward, smashing everything in its line of fire.
It’s such a fierce power.
Like the main building’s defensive magic, the sight of the students sheltering in the building dying seemed like a kaleidoscope.
At that moment, a trail of light was drawn in the sky.
-Suddenly!
The blindingly brilliant trail of light shattered the trail of darkness and landed on the ground.
It was a knight in black armor.
He’s wearing armor with a very powerful cognitive suppression spell.
It’s hard to pinpoint height and gender even when you’re right in front of you.
I couldn’t tell his face, body shape, or gender, but Morgan knew who he was at once.
“You… !!”
In his hand was a miraculous light that proved his identity.
The only miracle in this world that cuts through darkness.
“Shadow of the Empire!!”
—————————
As I evacuated outside with the swordsmanship research departments and watched the situation, there really was no hell.
The church also ran to exorcise demons, but that number would be the only way to stop them.
After confirming that students were gathering on the first floor of the main building, they secretly left their seats to find friends and went to the dormitory to get their equipment.
The jet-black blade made of adamantium, a rare metal, absorbs light and has a unique appearance, as if the graphics were splashed on its own.
I am grateful that the captain threw this sword upon his arrival.
This sword, Squitte, given after becoming a master is made of adamantium and has no special abilities other than that it is hard.
The sword does not have any special abilities attached, but there is one unique function attached to the hilt, which is… The point is that if you infuse the owner’s magic, the armor with the perception-damping magic applied will be worn.
This time I had to cover my face because there were too many eyes to see.
If you use Aura Blade now, it’s like advertising that you’re a master… You won’t be a shadow anymore.
“Ugh… This armor is too burdensome…”
When the magic of the sword hilt was activated, pitch black armor was worn all over the body. Since the armor was not simply made of metal, black smoke rose from the surface of the armor as if demonic energy was rising.
This black smoke is the visualization of the perception-damping magic.
Now that the equipment has been worn, it’s time to ‘clean up’ the situation in earnest.
The first place to go is the defense line gathered around the main building.
The principal is in charge of the strongest opponent… But he is strong, so he will last the longest.
I have sorted out my priorities, so it will be sorted out soon.
Actually, if this was not a demonic attack, but an ordinary terrorism, it would have been subdued and ended right away.
Because they are demons that do not take damage from normal attacks and continue to resurrect, even if they are suppressed, they continue to resurrect, which is annoying, but they are not very strong.
As I moved one step from the dormitory, the scenery changed and the main building came into view.
‘Folding and walking in space’, which looks like moving in space, is an act that deviate from the world that I can naturally do as a master, just like director Linda’s ‘levitating an object’.
As I moved, I saw professors fighting demons with defensive magic in front of them.
When she said she was a swordsman, she saw Andy, whom she hated so much, dealing with demons with a sword tinged with divine power.
‘If you buy a more expensive one, you’re complicating things…’
Except for the priests dispatched from the church, they were causing the most damage, but the holy power contained in the sword was too weak to suffocate them, so the demons were constantly reviving.
If it goes on as it is, eventually the professors will run out of energy first.
Squite’s black blade, a sword made of adamantium, began to glow with an aura.
The aura on top of the sword did not burn like a flame, but erupted with a sharp sound from the cross guard, shining like a flash of light.
“Where did this… You… Who are you???”
Senior Andy, who felt the flow of aura like a torrent, turned to me and asked.
At that stupid sound, I got angry and jumped up.
Can’t a human who belonged to the Imperial Knights recognize the shadow?
I’m not even a recruit, it’s ridiculous.
Andy aimed his aura blade at me, but I don’t have to answer.
I picked up the squyte that made a terrifying noise with both hands and looked at the number of demons.
Even though they were scattered here and there, the number of demons gathered at the main gate seemed to exceed 80 even if I roughly counted them.
It seems that Amy is dealing with the rest.
The screaming Demons, losing their intelligence, looked in so much pain.
From noble mtl dot com
If possible, I’d like to save all of the demon’s victims, but I don’t know how.
It didn’t even appear in the latest version of the novel.
“Those who don’t want to die, get behind defensive magic.”
The professors were taken aback by my menacing words and stepped back.
Anyway, he seemed to think he was an ally after seeing him walking from the main building.
As soon as I confirmed it, I ran forward and swung the squyte with all my might.
– Booooong!!!
A blindingly white trail passed in the air, and the demons were split in two at once.
Until now, whenever demons fell, they scattered demonic energy all over the place, but this time, the demonic energy did not scatter.
Falled mines did not regenerate anymore.
The cross section of the dismembered demon crumbled as if scorched by fire, then turned to ashes and began to blow in the wind.
It was because the Master’s Aura Blade completely annihilated their source of magic.
“Everything… Where the hell did you come from?”
Looking at the demons turned to ashes in one blow, senior Andy slumped backwards and was saying “Ababbeob”.
I wanted to squeeze one in, but I held back because then the reason to wear the armor would disappear.
“Haa… That’s it. I’m going to get the principal, so hold on to the remnants.”
“Yes… Yes!!!”
The atmosphere at the stadium also seems unusual.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This time, we arrived in front of the stadium in just one step.
The special stadium, which had been in good shape until the time the principal was having a lot of trouble, was split into two pieces.
As soon as I got closer to the arena, I felt the black magic exploding inside, so I ran inside and saw Mine Margaret holding the black aura blade and delivering a slash.
You must stop it.
“Are you pretending to be a swordsman while becoming a demon?”
As if resonating with my strong resolve, the aura blade emitted stronger light.
“No..!! Your opponent is me!!!”
The headmaster threw countless spells at Margaret, who was trying to hit the black aura blade, but when it touched Margaret’s demonic energy, the power weakened and did not cause much damage.
The magic that tried to bind the hands and feet decayed as soon as it touched the thick demonic energy.
As soon as Margaret hit the aura blade, my body was fired like a bullet.
The sun hadn’t set yet, so it was impossible for even the magic lights to show their presence, but the light of the aura blade did not lose its power even under the sun and left a pure white trail.
As soon as the white trail I left and Matilda’s black trail collide, the black trail disappears without a trace.
-You…!!!
Realizing that her self-attack had been erased, Margaret the Margaret charged at me with her black aura blade.
Not much has changed from the last time I saw it.
Margaret, who appeared to be her body protruding from her body, felt excruciating pain and shed tears of blood.
It’s definitely not the way she changed because she wanted to.
“I’ll send you to at least one room.”
I was launched into the air and erased Margaret’s attack, but I didn’t fall with that momentum and floated in the air.
No, floating is a little strange.
I was standing in empty space, looking down at Margaret.
There are two anomalies that I became able to use as a matter of course after becoming a master, but fundamentally they are one.
I can touch a space where there is nothing.
If you step on it, it will look like you are walking in the air, and if you fold it before running, it will become a ground that folds the ground and runs.
It is impossible to explain how this is possible, but it is possible to explain why it can be done.
Knowing that the fundamental problem with the height difference is ‘distance’, the painstaking efforts to overcome it have borne fruit in this way.
My foot in the air fell off and my shape blurred once again.
It was fired so fast that it was hard for the eyes to follow, leaving a white trail on my body that looked like a tracer bullet.
-You too… You die too!!!!
Margaret swung her black aura blade at the sight of me being fired at her with terrifying momentum.
It was an attack with enough power to shatter the fortress-like magic that defended the main building of the academy, but I didn’t think of reducing my momentum at all.
A white flash cut through the demons.
With the black aura blade she was holding, Margaret was cut in two from the top of her head to the tip of her toes.
-Ah…Ah…..
The broken-down Margaret let out a meaningless death utterance and collapsed into ashes from where she was cut.
I watched the demons blown away by the wind to see if they would resurrect, but nothing happened.
It was a very pointless end for turning the academy into a mess.
“You are… The shadow of the empire..!!”
Principal Morgan, who was floating in the sky with the floating magic, landed in front of me and grabbed my hand.
“Thank you.. I’m old enough to deal with the demons, but I’m really grateful… Oh no.. There are still many demons out there… I have to save the students..!”
“I put it all together when I came.”
“Oh… I see… There’s a reason Linda cares for you so much… How did she get here? The jam hasn’t been repaired yet…”
“… I had something to do nearby. I found it by chance.”
“That’s a lot of luck out of misfortune…! I’ll make sure to post in detail how much you’ve done to my emperor! Thank you, thank you..!”
Morgan was embarrassingly grateful and she was kind.
It was hard to think of her as the picky old woman you usually see, and she shook her hand wildly with the color on her face.
It must have been really difficult.
“Huh… Now if I find the Sword Master, it will be solved…!”
“… You’re looking for the Sword Saint…?”
“Yes.. Right before the incident, it disappeared somewhere..!”
Morgan, who was with me, was doing that outside, so of course she knew that she had subdued the Sword Saint in advance.
It’s not like that, it’s just that where is the swordsman hiding???
‘I need to find it quickly…!!!’
At that moment, a tremendous explosion was heard from the main building.
“What?!”
A huge amount of aura rose up in the sky with tremendous momentum.
I felt the pulsation of an aura that was on a different level from the Magi that had just exploded in the arena.
————————
As soon as I saw the aura rising high into the sky, I ran out, but the situation was already over.
I was running late even though I ran after a month using the churn paper.
The maze-like garden at the back of the main building is very difficult to find if people are having a tryst, but this time I didn’t have to try to figure out where the people were.
It was because there was a large hole that separated the neatly arranged garden trees in a straight line.
It seems that the aura that was seen a while ago soaring high into the sky was taken down.
As I ran inside through the large-looking hole, I could smell various smells.
The smell of burnt trees in your aura, the fresh smell of crushed grass… And finally the smell of human blood…
A figure that looked like a human was lying in the center of the explosion.
“…”
I wonder if he took that attack head-on, and the injuries of the person lying there as if he were dead were very serious.
He suffered minor burns all over his body, and blood was pouring from the sword wound that stretched from his left shoulder blade to his abdomen.
Fragments of the sword that had been cut in two rolled under my feet, but even so, both hands did not let go of the sword that I was holding tightly like an old tree.
At first glance, her body barely moved, as if she was dead, but fortunately, when I checked her pulse, I could tell that he… No, she was barely alive.
I couldn’t believe it, so I pretended to be calm and held her hand firmly gripping her sword.
“Lucia… What is this…”
The identity of the half-dead person was Lucia Russell.
She was much burned, much tanned, and covered in her own blood, but there was no way she could not recognize her.
The helmet of the armor covering her whole body came off, and the perception-impairing magic was lifted.
Only then did Lucia look at me and open her mouth.
“…… Atlas.”
Lucia seemed to have a hard time even opening her mouth.
The weakly trembling words were dangerous as if they would die at any moment.
“Don’t talk, I’m exhausted.”
“I’m sorry… “
“What are you sorry about..”
I didn’t even have to deduce deeply what the hell it was.
99% Is a swordsman.
The aura that soared high into the sky was not something a demon could create.
She placed one finger on each of Lucia’s stomach and the top of her head, and injected her aura into Lucia’s body.
As her aura flowed slowly, she could see her Lucia’s face getting a little easier.
If you put in a lot at once like when reconstructing Phrygia, you might wake up at once… But if you’re seriously injured like now, you won’t be able to endure it.
“…Don’t overdo it. I’ll take you to the hospital right away.”
“No…You have to listen…”
I was about to take Lucia with me, but Lucia suddenly grabbed her by the arm.
It would be difficult for her to even open her mouth no matter how much life force she breathed into her body, but Lucia did not stop talking even though she was in pain as if she had something to convey.
“Ms. Seymour… It was taken away.”
