132. Belief, Expectation, and… (2)

academy student. Among them, students above a certain level were subject to conscription. Eugene and Cora voluntarily enlisted before being drafted. Notably, it wasn’t because of patriotism or public awareness to protect people. The fate of enlisting anyway, and the calculating thought of raising the family’s reputation by drawing better pictures were implied.

“Everyone has a plan. Until one hit.”

Eugene stood on top of the castle wall and murmured. These were the words of a famous player in the arena. Before I saw it with my own two eyes, I had only vague expectations. I thought it was time to show off my skills that I had honed so far at the academy, and I was surprised that Professor Illroy’s words matched exactly.

“I got hit a little hard.”

And, I realized in real time why the professor put so much energy into getting the students used to fighting monsters. Even after Eugene and Cora enlisted, the academy’s excellent students were recruited and deployed one after another.

Eugene’s group consisted of one wizard, two knights, and ten ordinary soldiers. One of the knights was an old general in overall command, and the other was Cora.

“What do you think of when you see that?”

Eugene asked, gently touching Cora. Cora closed her eyes and opened them. Even when I closed and opened my eyes, they were still there. No, strictly speaking, it was not in place. Little by little, that wriggling shadow was approaching, as the twilight and twilight eat away at the blue sky.

“Why the hell are you lingering over there instead of running? think like that.”

I expected to be scolded, but Eugene raised an eyebrow at Cora’s attitude. Even pretending to be the same as usual didn’t help much. No one was standing still in this place. The knight in charge was speechless. No words of comfort, no words of encouragement, no words of reassurance that it was okay.

“Do you remember what we heard in class? You know what the professor said.”

Unlike Eugene, who skips lessons and carves out lessons with his body, Cora was an exemplary student. Although now the relationship between the two has completely reversed.

“no. I don’t think at all. I think I heard something.”

“It must mean that there is an entity that leads them. I said that if there is an entity that acts as a commander, the behavior of the monsters will be controlled like a human army.”

To be honest, it wasn’t the case I wanted to imagine. Eugene and Cora recalled the fantasy of the ‘named’ monster they had encountered only once during class. Aside from Natalie, no one had been able to hold it for more than two minutes against it, let alone deal with it alone.

“So, does that mean there is an entity that controls all of those monsters?”

Eugene muttered. Disaster, was it originally like that? Professor, did the hero fight against that group of troops, overcome them, and end the life of the individual who leads that group? No, even the disaster wasn’t them. It was something that was not even a living thing, falling from the sky and drawing a white tail.

“… Perhaps, like us, he divides and leads the troops.”

“It must mean that there are monsters that deal with monsters like that commander.”

The answer to their question was the old knight, who had kept his mouth shut. The knight plunged his sword forward and looked out. The thick walls of the royal capital have never looked more precarious than today.

“What do you think other big cities are like?”

“It must be a similar situation. Either it was surrounded by monsters like this, or it was already in ruins after being captured.”

He didn’t say anything hopeful that he would have overcome it. The old knight drew his sword.

“Never lose sight of the battlefield. That’s the only advice I can give to new chicks having their first real fight.”

The wind blowing gave off a faint stench and a sour smell. It was said to be the smell of demons. The wind did not blow from behind, but from the front. A sound was heard. The wind howled low again. The sound of the animal scratching its neck came over the wall and stayed in the crevices of the stones.

“Don’t die. You guys are just thinking about that.”

It was a warning. Eugene and Cora lowered their heads, then raised them again. The fight hasn’t happened yet. Is it waiting for people to lose their concentration?

okay.

At that time, Eugene glanced away at the strange sound coming up the castle wall. Slowly, something chained to the top of the castle wall was climbing.

“Remember, the moment you attack a human, the ‘noose’ will entangle you. After that, the only thing waiting for you is the killing. Got it?”

A threatening voice and a threatening question. No answer came. Chunk. As Natalie climbed the last flight of stairs, her dark eyes caught Eugene and Cora stiff. The person who brought Natalie was wearing a black priestly uniform.

“This is your seat. When the fight starts, jump down and fight on top of the wall or whatever you want. As long as you’re on the side of killing monsters, I won’t get involved in how you fight.”

“Are you sure you won’t kill me after the fight?”

“You said you promised. The promise we speak of is much heavier than you think.”

The priest, who must have been the Heretic Questioner, released the chains that were binding Natalie’s hands. Natalie looked down at the chains that fell to the floor. Even with a chain that seemed as heavy as a stone, there was not a single red mark left on her wrist.

“Go and kill him. When you die, I will prepare a place for you.”

After saying that, the priest suddenly disappeared. Natalie, left alone on the wall, was monopolizing the soldiers’ gaze. When a girl with black hair appeared out of nowhere at the scene of war clouds, I couldn’t help but pay attention.

“Natalie.”

Cora murmured. Natalie was dressed in clean, white clothes like a shroud. There were no signs of abuse. Her hair, as always, was shiny and flowing. Cora was relieved that the thing she was worried about hadn’t happened.

“You’d better figure out how to survive while worrying about me.”

The vitriol he spewed out was the same as usual. The one who appeared in the midst of no one keeping his composure was neither trembling nor frozen, but he was not human.

“Most of the people here are dead.”

Natalie said without hesitation, but the soldiers’ expressions did not change. Death on the battlefield was a word that had to be accepted. Only Eugene and Cora responded to her words.

“… Please don’t say anything demoralizing. It’s still gloomy.”

“I don’t want that to be you.”

And, at Natalie’s next words, the two opened their eyes wide. Natalie shrugged casually.

“I decided to rationalize it like that. The reason I give in and fight. Because you can be.”

“Oh, it’s an honor. You won’t have to worry about your back feeling empty.”

When Eugene said it sarcastically, Natalie snorted. It was the usual sight at the academy. Eugene tries to be friendly with Natalie, but Natalie replies harshly, and Eugene is sarcastic.

“I’m not going to keep your back.”

When Natalie said that, Eugene’s and Cora’s expressions went blank at the same time. Natalie narrowed her eyes and looked across the wall.

“If I want to show my full strength, I have to fight in a wide area. If you tell me to fight on top of this narrow castle wall, even you guys around you will die because of me.”

Natalie said with a smile. Eugene couldn’t understand the meaning of that smile. Natalie stood with her feet on the edge of the rampart. The ridge was covered in black shapes, wriggling, and slowly coming down. getting closer and closer

“So, I won’t let you cross over to where you are.”

The moment Natalie said those words with determined eyes, and the moment everyone present waited to see what would happen next,

A group of thunderbolts fell from the sky.

“It is a gift.”

It took a long time to draw power. Is it the second time after reaching the 7th circle? The first time I used magic with all my might was 10 years ago, after the seventh ring was established in full maturity for the first time. Laura’s opponent then was a young Quenore Strop. Perhaps the only person on the entire continent who could deal with her was the Grand Duke of the North.

“At that time, I was being swayed by power, but… .”

Magical power was swirling in Laura’s hands. Seven nuclei created by intertwining seven rings. Magical power accelerates through nuclei and explodes inside, forming an agglomeration of power like a volcano on the verge of exploding. It was now up to Laura what kind of magic this would manifest.

“Now that I have grown up too.”

Laura’s body was injured. A natural disaster created by just one person. The seven rings made him possible. The world wriggles and oscillates. The flowing clouds gathered in the sky above Laura’s head and created a whirlpool, as if trapped in a vortex. pile up, pile up, pile up. A black cumulonimbus cloud hung thickly in the sky over the royal capital.

“I wonder what it would be like to stick together again. Quenore.”

Both arms lifted were heavy. A torrent of magical power flowed through his heart. relaxed. To the extent that he could lightly shoot the great magic once instead of saying hello. The outline of the magic to be fired was drawn in my head. Attribute is lightning. The fastest and most ruthless destructive magic.

sing my anger

The target is a monster – no, that ridge outside the royal road. The mana was completely sucked into the sky, and a huge cumulonimbus cloud with thunderbolts wriggling like snakes was placed under Laura’s hand.

“It’s like I’ve never seen the magic you truly do.”

“It was presented to His Majesty like this. I didn’t want to use it in His Majesty’s safety.”

Laura let out a bitter laugh. There is no tongue-twisting sound. Right now, only the Archmage of the 7th Circle was standing there, watching.

“I will begin, Your Majesty.”

“Please, please take good care of me.”

“Because first impressions are important.”

Laura rose higher and higher. She and the sky were connected. A tingling sensation flowed from Laura’s fingertips. The goal is, the place where the most people are gathered. eastern ridge.

good.

The lightning that was trapped in the cumulonimbus was released. Thunder like a roar resounds. As if a god personally descended to the earth in a gilded chariot, a great anger was released in the form of a crack in light.

Kwagwagwagwang-!!!!

The ridge collapsed. The monsters evaporated on the spot without leaving even ashes. Like a sickle sweeping through a rye field at harvest time, there were only empty cracks in the place where the group of thunderbolts swept away.

“what!!”

“It’s a wizard!! The tower lord used great magic!!”

People cheered. Earth and sand crumble from a burning mountain. The scars left by the lightning seemed like scars that would never heal.

“… But what is that?”

However, even so, the monster did not stop advancing. Just as water fills up an empty space in a waterway, more monsters came in from somewhere to replenish it. Hundreds or thousands of monsters killed by the great magic were a number that could pop out from anywhere. The monster did not even run and continued to advance at the same speed.

“… All, ready for battle.”

The commander-in-chief’s hardened voice broke the chilly silence. Soldiers and knights raised their swords and fed the protests. When the wizards each started chanting and the gun was loaded,

The tidal wave of monsters started running.
