209 – Praise The Lord (5)
Theo kept his eyes fixed on the front, thinking.
‘We can overcome the current situation only by properly mobilizing Locke and Piel.’
Theo’s strategy was simple and clear.
At the same time as Theo removed the barrier surrounding this space with [Nullify Magic], Everyone raided Oswald’s gang.
The most important thing here is speed.
If the signs don’t match, all the hostages will die.
‘Can P.L treat you well?’
I couldn’t come up with a way to inform anyone other than Locke and Piel in an unobtrusive way.
That’s why PIEL is important.
Of course, at this point, Piel’s power is not at all at the level of overwhelming the instructor.
However, Locke and Piel have seen their abilities many times.
It is based on the judgment that even if it is an unreasonable request that is difficult to easily understand, it will be followed silently for now.
······And, by the way, Piel’s ability to draw blood [Competition] May be activated. There is little hope that it will be activated.
‘Hmm, how can I fool Oswald’s eyes and tell them my intentions?’
Oswald, who is talking in front of me, looks like a madman, but he is a very clever guy. Tina will notice the tidying up of the little girl at once.
‘I have no choice but to speak directly to Locke, who is receiving the most attention, and to Piel…’
Instead of nurturing, it should be conveyed through body language.
After thinking, Theo maintained a calm attitude and put his hand on the back of Piel, who was sitting next to him.
When his hand touched him, Piel flinched and trembled.
Theo immediately patted her on the back, then lifted her index finger and placed it on her back and began to write.
“······································································
Feeling the touch, Piel’s body twisted around.
‘Ah, stay still!’
Theo hit her back with the palm of her hand. Only then did her body tremble somewhat.
Theo quickly wrote down the text on her back again.
The content of the text was simple.
[As soon as I run into Oswald, run into the armed group and protect the hostages. If you understand what I mean, clear your throat.]
“Mmm.”
Piel, who repeated Theo’s finger movements, cleared his throat.
Confirming that, Theo immediately got up from his seat and approached Locke.
Said Locke.
“What is it, Mr. Theo?”
“I want you to make me one of the 32 members.”
At those words, all the instructors next to Locke put on a bewildered expression.
No matter how long Theo has been flying lately, it was because he didn’t understand what he said.
All of the instructors in the Faculty of Warriors are incumbent warriors. And there is an irreparable skill gap between the current warrior and the academy student. I acknowledge Theo’s growth rate and potential, but he’s just a student right now.
Theo didn’t care at all about the countless stares of those instructors, and put his hand on Locke’s shoulder.
Locke looked at Theo, unable to hide his surprise.
One student dared to touch the head professor’s body. He’s not an old man, but this couldn’t have happened.
Like it or not, Theo met Locke’s eyes and immediately looked up at the sky for a long time before shaking his head.
A bizarre act that would never be seen by Theo, who strictly observes the manners of his superiors in plain sight.
Locke quickly turned his head, trying to figure out the motive behind his actions.
‘What is in the sky is a barrier. After looking at it for a while, he shook his head…’
Locke’s mind recalled a series of events that Theo had committed in the past.
Among the crabs, the most memorable incident was when Theo defeated all of Ralph’s strengthening buffs in one fell swoop during the practical skill training evaluation and won.
Because he himself was directly at the site of the shocking reversal, he remembers it clearly. I heard of a case where Andrew’s arcane magic was also destroyed immediately after casting.
······There is a high probability that Theo’s plan is to remove the purple barrier covering the space.
I don’t know if it would be possible to get rid of barriers on such a wide scale, but if it were possible, it would make it considerably easier to overcome the current situation.
‘The reason why he dared to act rudely was to avoid the group of armed men in front of him and convey his plan.’
After thinking that far, Locke opened his mouth.
“Yes, Theo. The scenery of the sky is purple. I’m not used to it either.”
Metaphorically, he asked if the message he had sent him was correct.
Theo nodded.
“Yes, head professor. I don’t know how this purple sky was created. It will disappear someday, but I want to take bloody revenge on the person who made it.”
“I am looking forward to that too.”
Locke glared at Oswald on the stage.
Oswald smiled and looked down at the two of them.
─hahahaha~ What are the bald man and our silver-haired boy whispering about? Is our handsome silver-haired boy also joining the deathmatch? Then welcome~ Seeing the handsome guy’s distorted expression was really fun.
Oswald’s eyes shone with greed.
“After.”
Theo looked at him with contempt, then gave a short sigh.
Seeing that, Oswald laughed bizarrely.
─Chuckling giggling, your face has become better looking. You must join the 32-person cast. I’ve seen a lot of good-looking guys even in the north, but I haven’t seen Anne as handsome as you. If possible, I hope to keep that expression until the day I die. After killing them, I’m going to cut off their heads, preserve them, and put them on display in my room!
Instead of answering, Theo still looked at Oswald with contempt.
“I don’t want to mix words with disgusting beings, so stop barking.”
Theo raised his right hand and stretched it toward the sky.
Right after that, the sky returned to its original color, not purple.
* * *
As soon as the purple barrier applied to the space disappeared, Theo rushed towards Oswald.
Followed by Locke, the instructors of the School of Bravery, and Piel.
Oswald’s eyes widened.
‘What kind of barrier is that… To disappear in an instant like this?’
It is a large barrier created by squeezing out all the mana of the 10 wizards who led it.
Those people are at least 5th circle mages.
The magic formula for the dismantled purple barrier was created by a wizard who reached the pinnacle of 7th circle wizards.
······It disappeared in an instant.
The silver-haired guy in front of me reached out his hand to the sky and disappeared without a shape.
Oswald couldn’t believe the current scene.
“Did you do it? Big, what the hell did you do?”
“Don’t bark. Noisy.”
Theo stretched out his fist and foot at Oswald.
Oswald instinctively dodged Theo’s attack while he was stunned.
“I have changed my mind. Theo, you will never kill me. Instead, it makes me beg you to kill me every day.”
“Are all the bastards in the north like this? He barks too long.”
“You really have a knack for pissing people off. OK. Get bitten by a bastard!”
Oswald squeezed the ax in both hands and swung it. The ax blade, bathed in the blue moonlight, turned red.
Shuuwook──
Theo ducked to avoid the axe.
The wind pressure from the ax passing over his head is chilling.
“·······!”
The body screams again.
I had no choice but to use [Overlord] At Oswald’s speed, which far exceeded my expectations.
‘I need Locke and Piel to join me quickly.’
Judging from the voices of the two, it seems that they are having a confrontation nearby.
‘Damn it.’
······There is no time to look away.
In the blink of an eye for a moment, the hair is on the verge of flying.
Oswald possesses a force comparable to that of current mid- to upper-middle rank warriors.
Even if Theo’s physical condition was fine, he was a level of strength that could not be matched. This is the first time I have faced an enemy of this level directly.
─I think this far, 0.3 Seconds.
Oswald’s ax starts flying non-stop.
Theo dodged the attack one after another.
At best, the body that has recovered a little is destroyed again at the cost of [Overlord].
‘······We have to hold onto it even a little longer.’
Theo tried to look at Oswald with a calm expression.
Oswald’s eyes were shiny.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha. It’s fun, really, it’s fun. I didn’t swing it while looking at it, but are you avoiding everything?”
From noble mtl dot com
“·······.”
Looking at Theo’s calm eyes, Oswald clicked his tongue.
“I can’t help it. I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry I didn’t want to kill you.”
Shouted while pressing the button attached to the left side of the shirt Oswald was wearing.
“Permission to open the country!”
“”””Yes!””””
A group of armed men answered at the same time, similarly pressing the buttons attached to their jackets.
Right after that, fierce energy emanated from the group of armed men.
It was such a strong aura that everyone nearby felt it.
Oswald immediately hit Theo with an axe. A speed that is incomparably faster than before.
Theo had a hunch.
‘·······I can’t see it.’
That attack can never be avoided.
Kwajik——!
The ax landed on Theo’s left shoulder.
The ax blade tore through his uniform and lodged in his white left shoulder.
For terrorists, they sure bring many preparations
