144 – Tame me ♡
Soft pink lips are sweet.
“…Damn it.”
But the words that came out were foul and full of anger.
Now, fewer people pass by ‘Rock Hill’.
Emilia, who was looking into the distance, could not see the person with black hair she was looking for.
More than 70% of the cadets who departed from the west passed this route.
Ian Black Angus is not weak enough to not be in the top 70%.
With that conclusion in her head, Emilia nervously stamped her feet on the ground.
— Kkjjik!
A tree branch steps on her shoe and breaks.
Emilia sighed deeply.
“Haaa.”
Ian Black Angus.
That snarky bastard must have figured out his strategy and deviated from it.
Emilia pressed her thumb between her eyebrows.
It was her habit to come out whenever an embarrassing situation arose.
‘I think I underestimated you too much.’
– A man who cannot come to his senses just by looking at a woman. He is a pathetic person who is crazy about women and cannot even grasp the talents he has.
That was my first impression of Black Angus.
In fact, the Ian she met did not deviate from that first impression.
I was able to use his special talent without difficulty just by tailing him a few times.
When he thought he was no longer needed, he could have boldly cut him off.
‘I didn’t know it was a mistake.’
She came back to life After seeing him return to school, Emilia had a hunch.
All of Emilia’s judgments about Ian were wrong.
Therefore, he is a dangerous person who must be eliminated.
‘… It looks like he still doesn’t know what he did.’
Emilia is not the type of person to accept even one possibility.
“Let’s go.”
She opened her mouth coldly.
Her teammates standing behind her flinch.
“Are you going to keep going like this? There’s one cadet you really need to take care of.”
“The reason he didn’t show up until this time is that he most likely went back another way. He’s not a man without abilities. No. Should I say he’s been hiding it? Anyway.”
“Then where are you going?”
A very insincere and harsh voice.
Emilia was furious, but she swallowed her saliva and held it back.
The identity of the voice is Victor Yan, a descendant of a barbarian. Because it was Emilia’s hand who worked hard to get promoted.
“We’ll head straight to the bridge connecting the central island. We’ll be in charge of the eastern bridge. Let’s go.”
Cold and simple explanation.
Pabbat!
Emilia immediately got off her feet.
Seeing her moving away in an instant, Victor Yan also smiled and leaped.
Emilia’s party moves so fast that it’s hard to believe it’s human speed.
This was possible because everyone in her body was in top condition.
Since she came to Volta Island, she has only earned her coins through toll taxes.
They quickly rose to the top without even having to properly catch a single monster.
Victor, who followed Emilia’s new brother as she rushed by, asked her.
“The remaining cadets are probably resting at the supply base by now.”
“Are you saying you want to rest?”
At Emilia’s words, Victor Yan shrugged and lifted her huge shoulders.
“No way.”
“Then just follow along. I have already agreed with the other Ether cadets to control the entrance bridges to the central island.”
Hearing her words, Victor Yan scratched his head with a hand the size of a pot lid.
“Aether, you guys are more mean-spirited than I thought.”
“It’s not mean. It’s strategic. To begin with, this test is just a relegation battle for us.”
A test where you have nothing but to lose.
The cadets of Aether have no choice but to stick together.
The moment the structure of the island was confirmed, the story between the Ether Cadets ended.
The core of this promotion battle is the ‘Central Island’ in the center of Volta Island. If we control the four bridges leading to this place, we can effectively gain the upper hand.
Probably the bridges in other directions have already been taken under control.
Emilia simply received coins more efficiently through ‘tolls’ on her way.
It was for a while that her party moved forward.
— Shoot!
The strong sound of the river can be heard from far away.
It meant that we had arrived at the center of this place, the river that divides the ‘Central Island’.
The bridge facing the central island was visible to their eyes.
A specially constructed bridge that is nearly impossible to collapse under any physical attack or magic damage.
The strategy of the Ether students was to take control of these bridges in four directions.
— Shoot!
This is a possible strategy because the width and strength of the river are considerable.
The bridge was the only way to cross the central island.
“Now then, follow the strategy everyone explained and completely block this place… Huh?”
It was when Emilia crossed the bridge and was about to start a brief briefing.
A strange sound was heard from far away.
Emilia turned her head to the source of the sound.
A voice was coming from far upstream of the river.
“How did you make the raft, Elena?”
Emilia muttered, concentrating on her voice while frowning.
“… Ian Black Angus?”
What on earth is going on here?
The question did not last that long.
I soon saw the answer to my question.
— Shoot!
Upstream direction of the river.
Cadets on a raft were floating down.
“What the hell is that…”
It’s not often that Emilia gets embarrassed.
However, this scene was ‘rarely’.
Emilia stared blankly at the scene for a moment, having no idea what she was really thinking.
Meanwhile.
“Quaaaaa!”
“Stop banging!”
“Lord Deus, oh my god!”
The raft, spinning round and round, flows downstream following the flow of the river.
Emilia, who belatedly realized the situation, shouted.
“You can’t let it pass! Stop it!”
◆
Bangle bangle.
A raft that spins like a top.
Magic and physical attacks rained down on him.
Ian shouted after confirming the attack.
“Elena Shield!!”
Hectic situation with rapidly changing vision. Even though Elena’s eyes were rolling, she followed Ian’s orders.
“Eugh—!”
A translucent film surrounds the raft, accompanied by a murmur that is unclear whether it is a chant or a scream.
— Chaejaejaejaeng!
Elena’s shield successfully blocked the first attacks.
Jjaeng!
Even though it was destroyed in the aftermath.
“Hey…”
Pick.
With a short mutter, Elena was exhausted.
Well, it was hard just to endure this much.
Because the attacks of the ether guys were blocked in a wide area.
“Everyone stick to me as much as possible!”
After that, it was Ian’s one-man show.
A berserker’s shield in one hand, a shield made with Lunar in the other.
Using the two, I was able to block or block the barrage of attacks.
Sometimes, we lightly ignore things that hurt our bodies.
Ian’s performance on a raft floating round and round was like a dance.
‘It’s done. It just needs to go on like this a little longer.’
There is a point downstream where the direction of the current changes.
This is the point where the distance between the raft and the central island becomes close enough to jump off.
They have to protect the bridge, so they won’t be able to follow us anymore.
The magic is starting to go astray.
The distance from the bridge that Emilia and the others were guarding was also far enough.
‘Did you get rid of it?’
The moment I felt so relieved.
— Paaaaa!
A tremendous sound of a blast splitting the air was heard.
A straight object flying from the bridge.
‘Axe?’
Ian quickly combined Lunar around the Berserker’s shield. A normal-sized shield that can be completed in an instant.
— Quaaaaang!
It collided with the axe and made a tremendous noise.
[ 78 ] -> [ 51 ]
Even if you block accurately, your stamina is quickly diminished.
The aftermath was such that the raft accelerated.
Ian muttered as he relaxed his numb shoulders.
‘What kind of incredible power is this…’
The guy that was slightly sticking out of his leg.
I didn’t look closely, but was it Victor Yan?
As expected, as a descendant of barbarians…
“I’m throwing it again!”
Danya’s cry.
‘I can’t stop it from continuing like this.’
Ian made a quick decision.
At first glance, the distance from the raft to the mainland of the central island is about 30m.
“Hold on tight!”
Ian opened his arms and embraced the party members.
And then he launched himself into the air.
— Baaaaa!
The raft shatters with a tremendous amount of impact.
A column of water rose from the river as if a cannonball had landed.
At the same time.
Ian’s new form popped out from the water column.
No. To say he jumped out was an understatement.
With a speed comparable to teleportation, Ian tumbled to the land with his party members in his arms.
— Degurrrrr!
Ian thought as he rolled along the wet riverside.
‘It’s still difficult to control the peak output jump.’
Anyway, it is better to roll on the mainland of the central island.
From Noble mtl dot com
I hope it rolls along satisfactorily for a while.
“Wow!”
My body stopped only after hitting the rock.
He was in quite a bit of pain, but he was used to it.
Ian tilted his head slightly and looked around.
Luckily, I think I put down the Lina and Elena I was holding in both hands.
I hugged Danya and rolled her over… Where did she go?
The moment Ian put his hands on the floor and tried to stand up, clearing his dazed head.
— Molkan!
Something small, pudding-like, was caught in her hand.
I also felt a soft and warm touch on her knees.
The situation where Ian was hugging Danya as if he was attacking her from above.
“Well…♡”
Danya’s sweet moans filled the riverside.
Oh she’s going into mating mode for sure this time…
