Episode 30 – Siruntel Demon Lord (7)
30. Ciruntel Demon Lord (7)
El Prime Academy.
No. 1 Tower of Illusion.
About 30 minutes after the incident occurred.
Pasing!
With the distortion of space, a middle-aged man and an old man with gray hair appeared out of thin air.
“Uncle, this way.”
Alcyon Serzhev, Dean of Elprime Academy.
“Hmm…”
And it was Xenion Serzef, one of the great wizards of the empire.
He narrowed his eyes and looked around.
“······I never thought I would see the Tower of Illusion destroyed in my lifetime.”
The first error that occurred in the Tower of Illusion, which has endured for hundreds of years.
Jenion was a little excited to find the stain.
The wizard’s unique curiosity and desire to explore was triggered.
Alcyon, noticing his expression, hurriedly added.
“Father. “First, you need to track the cadets’ location.”
“······Hmm? Well, that’s right. “You said that even Princess Isabel and the duke’s children were swept away, right?”
Jenion chuckled as she entered the training room.
“Your nephew has a lot to worry about.”
No matter how much you are a first-year freshman here, you are an adult at 18.
They are all warriors who have surpassed the expert level.
Even if I fall from the top of Mt. Cheshar, wouldn’t it be okay to come down as if taking a brisk walk?
I reassured Arcion, who was trembling with nervousness.
Jenion spoke evenly.
Immediately afterward, the archmage spread his arms wide and gently closed his eyes.
I started tracking the flow of magical power.
However.
“······.”
As time passes, his eyebrows become frowned.
Roar again.
A drop of cold sweat ran down my forehead.
5 Minutes later.
“Oh my…!”
Jenion shouted urgently with a white face.
“Contact the Hellbridge family immediately! Hurry!”
“?”
Alcion’s eyebrows tilted.
The Hellbridge family in the western part of the empire.
Wait a minute.
West, West…?
“······!”
Alcion’s eyes widened as he remembered the news he saw in the morning newspaper a few days ago.
“No way…?!”
Please tell me that my thoughts are wrong.
He looked at Jenion earnestly.
“Yes, that’s the theory!”
Jenny Ean was already nodding his head.
“Siruntel Demon Lord, they all fell there!”
* · * *
“Leon.”
“Why?”
“Where are we going?”
On Leon’s back, Celia expressed her doubts as she saw him running without hesitation.
This must be my first time here.
The steps he took were filled with strong confidence.
“If you go straight in this direction, the kids from Class J will come out. “I’m going to join them and get out of here right away.”
Even while running as fast as the wind.
Leon explained to her without even breaking her breath.
“Oh, if it’s class J, it’s definitely…Cough!”
Celia, who was speaking, suddenly started coughing.
“Call, Cough!”
A fishy smell that penetrates your nose.
The area around the shoulder gets hot.
Leon turned his head and his face hardened.
“······Hold on just a little longer.”
Celia, who vomited her blood on Leon’s shoulder, smiled weakly.
“Sorry.”
Are you saying you’re sorry for getting dirty with blood?
Or are you saying you’re sorry for being like a lump of luggage and not being able to provide any help?
Or are you saying you feel sorry for having to suffer for no reason because of yourself?
Celia muttered her involuntary apology and buried her head deeper into the crook of Leon’s neck.
“······.”
Leon licked his dry lips.
Her breathing becomes increasingly shallow.
A voice that is losing strength.
And the flow of heavily damaged mana felt in the danjeon and circuit.
Of course, the bleeding has largely stopped.
‘The internal injuries are too severe.’
Due to excessive use of her mana and continued accumulation of damage, Celia’s internal injuries were at a serious level.
It was dangerous if things continued like this.
The reason Celia maintains her consciousness right now is thanks to her almost superhuman mental power.
If Leon were a master-level drone, she could have directly intervened inside her body and adjusted the flow of her mana.
Leon hasn’t even reached expert level yet.
If she tried to mess with it for no reason, the chances of it getting worse were much higher.
She didn’t have much time left.
If things continue like this, you may not be able to use your Danjeon for the rest of your life.
In severe cases, she could have been crippled or even lost her life.
No, in fact, it would be no different from the latter in that she would not be able to use her Danjeon against an unmanned person.
Especially if you are a proud and noble warrior like Celia.
“Celia, you can’t sleep.”
“Yes…”
Leon doesn’t want to see her friend become an asshole.
She ran out of her horse with red eyes shining brightly.
* · * *
I guess about 10 minutes passed like that.
Now, the corpses of the demonic beasts that Class J had defeated began to appear.
A broken, broken wound caused by being hit with a fist or foot.
It was clearly a mark made by martial artists.
Wow!
Leon cut down the charging demon beast with her single sword and added another corpse there.
Celia, hanging on his back, quietly admired it.
“Leon… When did your skills improve so much again?”
The voice is now closer to a whisper, with much less strength.
Leon scolded her for saying useless things and draining her energy.
“Don’t open your mouth.”
“······.”
That was when Celia pursed her lips.
“······!”
Leon opened his eyes wide and launched himself strongly forward.
Kwaaang!!!
The ground he was standing on caved in, and dust and debris flew out.
“Hoo······.”
The person responsible for that terrifying attack.
A demon with two horns on its head.
He shook the dirt off his hand that he had hit and let out a groan as if he was interested.
“You’re pretty good at it for a human?”
“I think this person is the owner of the corpses on the cliff earlier.”
I was glaring at them as they chatted calmly.
Leon frowned.
“What the f*ck. “Why are demons appearing?”
Even though I felt deep embarrassment.
Sneaky, sneaky.
Leon took a step back and placed Celia, who was carrying him, against the tree behind her.
They weren’t an opponent worthy of fighting with a person hanging on them.
Just by looking in front of you.
Dense Maggi that makes the skin tingle.
The solid body and posture feel like facing a huge rock.
The way to live was cruel and merciless.
Leon tried to talk while fiddling with the sword.
“Hey, what brought you here?”
According to the original work, Magias’ minions should be wandering around here.
But Magias was torn to death by Bergov’s sword.
The demons here must be from another power.
From Noble mtl dot com
Leon, who knew how to deal with only demonic beasts and was at ease, was embarrassed.
“······Hmm?”
Like being interested in a talking animal.
The demons answered Leon’s question while snorting.
It doesn’t matter what you say to someone who’s going to die anyway.
They regarded this mission as a kind of play and wanted to play with the young human a little.
“I came to hunt humans under orders from the Great Devil.”
“······Great devil?”
Leon’s expression became very sour.
For someone who had not read even half of the original work, the Great Devil was a very unfamiliar being.
There was no way that the final boss, who would only appear in the latter half of the game, would appear from the early to mid-game.
‘f*ck. ‘I should have read it in advance instead of saving it.’
Leon lamented the amount of reading he had done in his past life and dug for more information.
“Who is the Great Devil? “I believe there are seven in total.”
“······I have a lot of questions about this insignificant human being. This is Balkansus, the Great Demon of Wrath. Of course, a scum like you doesn’t even have the right to mention his name.”
“Balkansus? “Why is he suddenly acting out here?”
“What a bastard…!”
At Leon’s frivolous words, the demon’s head suddenly heated up.
I quickly regained my composure.
No one gets really angry at bugs.
“Grouzer, enough of the conversation. ······It seems like there are not all people here.”
“Well, sure.”
Grooser licked his lips as he looked behind Leon.
I sensed the presence of Class J cadets.
“······Leon.”
A thin voice, almost like a moan, came out.
Leon answered while keeping his eyes fixed on his enemies.
“Why?”
“Why…! “Run away quickly!”
Celia endured her pain and screamed at him with all her might.
They are of a different class from the magical beasts we have easily captured so far.
Not only did he grow up in a harsher environment than the current demon world since he was born.
If you listen to what they say, they are demons who are the servants of the Great Devil.
Even if you fight with all your might, you cannot guarantee victory, so abandon yourself and run away immediately.
Celia spoke earnestly with a distorted face.
Anyway, you are in a state of no help at all.
If we fought for no reason, we would only add one more body.
It was nonsense for Leon to die just for her, Celia thought.
“Leon, I’m done! Hurry······!”
What if the man who ran all the way here to save me goes wrong now?
I felt like I wouldn’t be able to close my eyes in peace even after I died.
However.
“Celia.”
Leon’s voice calling her name was filled with laughter.
He was still aiming his sword at his opponent, and it seemed like he had no intention of taking a single step back.
“······?”
Leon continued speaking, spitting out the tobacco.
“This has to be kept secret?”
“······What?”
No answer came back.
The demons shrugged their shoulders and approached Leon with clenched fists.
“It’s boring. “Just die.”
“It was quite fun.”
This is the end of the two kites’ skit.
Now it was time to disappear before our eyes.
“Well.”
To those who approach you with a sour expression.
Leon gave a deep sneer.
The sword.
—It moved.
Crucipp family ban.
Jecheongeombeop (制天劍法) dark type.
Cheonju Susik (天主狩食).
And.
The sun is being eaten by darkness.
The sky turned black.
