221. Teacher and Disciple
“The most important thing is Aria.”
At my words, everyone’s eyes turn to the little girl with black hair.
Although Aria was scratching the back of her head because it was awkward, she shrugged her shoulders, probably thinking that she was being recognized by me in front of so many people.
“Everyone, please be my stepping stone.”
What he said was not at all like a warrior, but whatever.
Kuaaa!
No one could criticize the arrogant words. Because there is no such time.
Romuleus’ cries echo as if urging him on.
I continued speaking immediately.
“Aria is the only one in this place who can kill that monster. So she just needs to assist her and get in front of her.”
“In the end, you just have to play the role of a little assistant, right? “Are you wearing a diaper?”
“Are you kidding?! I’m eighteen! “You are now at an age where you can get married according to the laws of the kingdom!”
Seeing Aria rushing towards Findeneye’s taunts.
The royal family’s Archmage Rockpelican, Magic Judge Tyrn, and Guard Knight Gloria looked perplexed.
If you’re making jokes in the market place in front of a monster that’s trying to devour the kingdom, of course you’ll be embarrassed.
“So all we have to do is get through those tentacles coming in and bring this little boy to the front?”
He took the mana potion from wherever he got it and poured it into her mouth.
Her shotgun emits a blue light along with a roar as if she is ready to unleash firepower again.
“I’m not a kid.”
“Accurate.”
“Gyo, professor?!”
She continued, ignoring Aria who continued to argue.
“Taylor, who has the strongest defense, takes the lead with the Magic Judges.”
“Is it acting as a meat shield? “Don’t do anything wrong.”
Thayrn immediately gathers the judges while holding her staff.
They are stretched out in a row and form a barrier, blocking the tentacles that have already begun to rush in and clearing the way.
“To protect this land, let’s take one step first!”
After confirming that he was taking the lead, I immediately looked towards Gloria and the guards.
“Please.”
“I don’t like the fact that the title is first…… “A knight of the royal guard uses a sword, not a shield.”
There was no need to say anything else.
Gloria held her greatsword high and, together with her knights, served as Tharn’s next bulwark.
Because there were so many tentacles, some of them were able to penetrate through the magic field of the Magic Judges.
Once the royal guard knights joined, their numbers also decreased significantly.
“Darius and Deia… ….”
My honest feeling was that it would be better if those two were left out.
“I will also join the Royal Guard. “I guess there’s nothing much we can do other than that.”
Darius is afraid that I might ask him to go, so he quickly shouts and runs forward.
Deia, looking at his back with a well-raised expression, loads his shotgun and places it on his shoulder.
“I can’t clear the road anyway. “I’ll just stand next to you and provide cover.”
“Ha, it’s dangerous, so stay next to me.”
If you send it back for no reason, you don’t know what they will do. It would be best to just leave it aside.
“Take care of Findenai.”
“It’s easy.”
The sight of Finden Eye clenching her fists was very strange, as there was no weapon that could cause damage other than the blood ancestor’s hands.
“…… “Once this is over, I’ll find out which ax is right for you.”
“Oh?”
Actually, she was originally going to find the Bangobu she used in her game and give it to her.
Her thoughts changed as she saw how freely she used the war shoes this time.
She doesn’t need to give her drop items, she can further explode the potential of her Finden Eye by giving her items from her higher level companions.
Now it was really time to leave. The amount of tentacles pouring out at once was increasing, and the surrounding buildings had already been half destroyed a long time ago.
“Rock Pelican, make your way.”
“Ah.”
At my words, Rock Pelican gathered all her mana and raised her staff again.
The mana of the disciples behind him resonates together, and the intangible mana is materialized into magic very quickly.
Kuddeudeudeudeuk!
The ground tilts and begins to rise.
It is rough and has no aesthetics at all, but it creates a bridge made of thick and huge stones.
The bridge gradually extends towards Romuleus.
Tentacles flew in to destroy it.
Boo!
Gloria jumps with flames from the ground and runs forward with the legs that form, cutting down the tentacles.
Cow!
When the magic stone bridge was completed, Rock Pelican broke into a cold sweat and spoke in a weak voice.
“Have a nice trip.”
No matter how great he is, he handled a lot of difficult magic on a large scale today.
He deserved enough rest, so he expressed his gratitude and headed to the bridge.
“Ruanes, you take the lead.”
“…… “They use it blatantly.”
Even as she said that, Ruanes calmly took the lead and started running.
Tentacles coming out from all over the place. The white smoke rising from his whole body turns into the shape of his hand.
The white hand showed off its presence by snatching tentacles, burning them, or tearing them apart.
“Is that necromancy?”
Findenai has doubts about Ruaneth being a necromancer, but he is indeed a necromancer.
But he doesn’t handle spirits like a normal necromancer like me.
[You are dealing with your own soul, right?]
The dark spirit who came next to me looked at Luanes’ back in bewilderment.
The dark spirit answered the correct answer at a glance.
That’s right.
Ruaneth Luden Griffin is a necromancer who manipulates spirits, but she manipulates her own soul.
That is why he was a necromancer who did not need the souls of others.
But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t deal with other souls like me. However, in order to see the evil spirits he had, his life had to be put in danger.
You won’t be able to see it now.
As I run, following Luanes, Aria immediately catches up.
Followed by Deia and finally Findenai.
The formation was prepared like this and I sang the aria.
“If possible, run with all her strength intact. “She’s telling me not to take out my sword.”
“Yes! “I know!”
A voice full of pride in realizing what the answer I gave was.
When I heard that, a faint smile appeared on my face without me realizing it.
I was already a professor, and I was feeling proud of my students’ achievements as if it were my own work.
“Professor! “Do you remember that you freed me from the fate of a hero?”
“Yes, of course.”
As they continued to push forward, Aria started talking a little out of the blue.
Even though Finden Eye and Deia are present, they are not concerned about their presence.
“You told me that the end of my life was right then.”
The ending of Aria Rias, who lived as a warrior in the game called Retri.
And the life of student Aria Rias unfolds in the future.
When I thought about it, I realized that even though I was giving her her ending, she had received quite a lot of help so far.
“I’m sorry.”
Because I was lacking, there were bound to be situations where she held her sword.
She apologized for that, but Aria smiled and shook her head as if she had expected it.
“No, I’m not blaming the professor. “This is my fault.”
“… ….”
“You gave me a weapon that could kill God, but you didn’t tell me that. “That’s what he wanted me to realize.”
Yes, that is correct.
She now possessed the only weapon on earth that could kill a god.
“He has shown you the way, but you must achieve that realization yourself. “You can’t grow even if others feed you everything.”
Once she heard that far, I could guess what she was going to say to me next.
I didn’t bother to interrupt.
Even if you realize it, there are things that are meaningful to say or hear with your ears.
“The professor showed me that I can end my life as a warrior.”
“… ….”
“But ultimately, breaking that bondage is what I have to do.”
The distance from Romuleus is getting closer. Before she knew it, Aria was holding the sword of gluttony, Duatein.
A great sword that cut down and swallowed two of Dante’s warlocks. I usually had an unusual energy, but today it was unusual.
The great sword, which was black, was distorted strangely for some reason and its color was not fixed.
And that sword.
It was the only weapon in this place that could cut down Romuleus.
“The professor gave me a method and an opportunity. “They prepared everything.”
“… ….”
“I’ll try it now.”
The average Duatein is not a very good weapon.
But due to the nature of this sword.
It had the characteristic of changing properties after eating something that was cut down.
The last thing Duatein cut down was none other than Mule’s clone.
I used Duatein to cut down Mule who came to the academy.
From then on, Duatein continued to change form.
Probably, you will only be able to properly swing a sword that has consumed the remnants of a god once.
Duatein cannot endure any more than that.
But only once.
I was confident that that would be enough of an opportunity for Aria.
“Resistance is getting stronger.”
Ruanes, who was leading the way, begins to slowly slow down.
Taylor and Gloria below had also stopped moving for a long time.
The closer we got to Romuleus, the stronger and bigger the tentacles came out to deal with us.
“Here we approach Romuleus. Take the left side.”
He steps to the right of Ruanes and swings his hand widely.
[Kiaaa!]
Then, along with Velika’s loud scream contained in the prosthetic hand, black mana spurted out and tore the tentacles apart.
“Great Devil Velika… ….”
Ruaneth hesitated for a moment as she looked at my necromancy, and then immediately began to emit more thick smoke from her entire body.
“You can’t be pushed around.”
The white hand made of smoke and Velika’s black mana roughly cut through the path.
It was only for a moment, but the sky was wide open.
“Hold on tight!”
Meanwhile, flames and smoke are spewing out from the war shoes of Finden Eye running from behind.
Running forward at maximum power, he grabs Aria’s waist and leaps forward.
“I’ll be back!”
Aria’s cries spread out as she held Dua Tein firmly in both hands.
The distance between the two of us quickly grew further away from us.
“Come back.”
I just looked at the back of my student who had grown up.
