“You’re a little late than expected.”
＜Helios＞ The capital of the empire, Phaeton.
Theo, who took on the form of Delade again in front of the majestic wall, was expressing his dissatisfaction with the somewhat erratic schedule.
‘The woman… … . I was obviously trying to pass the time. Why?’
Justitia has been regularly raiding Theo’s army since receiving Arrieta’s treatment.
However, it felt like avoiding a direct battle with Theo. They may have lost once, but it was clear that they were wasting their time, not giving up or preparing, but constantly bumping into each other.
Then why is that?
‘I don’t think the Empire’s potential will be able to stop me. And even if I drive out the Empire’s troops, there’s a dragon behind it.’
It was after Antares had already evacuated its people to the news of the attack coming from the surroundings.
The foresight to pick out unattacked points even in such a random attack situation is surprising, but not alarming.
In any case, the Empire was already prepared to stop Theo’s Legion.
Even so, Justitia continues to drag out time. There’s no way this would happen again without any information.
‘Does the solvent need time? That the monster needs an extra element like that? Nonsense.’
There was a fact that Theo found out through the monster he had once infiltrated into ＜Skientia＞.
The monster named Tiamat does not require any prior preparation. Its body itself is like a weapon of war that has already been warmed up.
And ＜Skientia＞, where she nests, is also the same.
‘It’s the strongest fortress on earth in the form of an academy.’
Theo didn’t have the confidence to break through the barrier even if he revealed his true face and attacked. To be honest, it was to the point where I was suspicious of Tiamat’s brain that had set up such an out-of-standard barrier in the academy.
And even if it could be pierced, Tiamat was not a great person to just watch it.
‘Evacuation of students… … Not even.’
Since it is a world where there is a magic called [Teleport], Theo also had some preparations in place.
The [Teleport gates] of each country are dead, and individual magic cannot be used either.
But even that is an exception for a monster the size of Tiamat.
If she put her mind to it, it would take less than an hour to move thousands of people.
“then… … . then… … .”
Theo sets out to build every family he can imagine.
And most of the answers that came out at the end of that assumption were ‘there is no need for that’.
Then all of a sudden.
“… … What if you noticed that there is a being on the same level as that monster?”
Such an assumption came into my mind.
The part I hadn’t even imagined until now, no, the part I didn’t want to think about.
What if they guessed the existence of their king, ‘Gentilis’?
‘Establishing such a terrible family would be hopeless in itself.’
Theo didn’t believe there was such a thing until he saw Tia.
It’s not something you can imagine. That’s what I didn’t want to do.
It is possible to assume the worst, but it is foolish to assume the inevitable end.
Anyone who assumes a situation where there is no such hope is not meticulous, but a foolish pessimist.
“under… … !”
Then what about the opponent?
What about the one who created this situation, namely ‘Oz Quo Vadis’?
Was he a pessimist?
Was the man named Oz, whom he confronted once, really such a fool?
No, he wasn’t.
“Are you going to turn it around?”
He was not one to assume an irreversible end. He is the one who prepares to overturn the end.
It’s trying to somehow twist the storm that is natural to be swept away.
“Are you going to create a variable in the fight between the two of them? That doesn’t even sound funny!”
There are things in the world that end in tragedy no matter how hard you try.
It doesn’t make any sense to try hard in front of such a thing.
You either die wearing the guise of a hero, or you realize your own ugliness and fall down the abyss.
“You really don’t see how pointless that is?”
Theo raised the spear.
His plan is to carve a kind of mark in the middle of the empire. It was a war for that, and a mess for that.
He intended to bring a living calamity to the land. This war is just a preliminary stage for that.
“If you really think you can stop it… … .”
A second window appeared above the hand.
Theo’s ‘Deva’ is overlaid on the window. The spear that transcends space holds even the mightiest power.
“It’s disappointing that I had hopes for you even for a moment.”
bang!
The Empire’s walls are shattered by Theo’s powerful attack. There was no resistance.
That’s natural.
By now, the monsters he had planted would have started rampaging.
“How can I move a typhoon when I can’t move on my own?”
Theo’s corps began advancing towards the broken walls.
Originally, the plan was to conduct a sluggish long-term battle in front of the fortress wall.
This is because the winner was not important in this fight, but how long it could last was important.
Sprinkle ‘blood’ and ‘Deva’.
I throw a bait to call a monster that devours all of them.
That’s when their king, an overwhelming predator appears, and that’s it.
That’s what they do. It’s a very simple thing.
However, if the other person wants that too, if they want to drag their time, there is no reason to adjust to that.
“… … Come on, bleed! Make a mark! Go die! You losers!”
The monsters, led by Theo, rushed towards the perforated empire.
“Kieek!”
But the monsters couldn’t pass through the hole.
It was broken in two with just one attack and rolled on the floor.
Considering the regenerative power of monsters, there was no way they would die from an attack like that. However, in Theo’s memory, there was one existence that made it possible.
“Are you trying to hasten an order that wouldn’t have mattered if you were in a safe enclosure?”
Yes, a very familiar yet creepy existence that evokes an unknown nostalgia, their nemesis.

was blocking their way.

The fact that an army of monsters was approaching was something that could be noticed even within the Empire.
Most of the Empire’s citizens had temporarily left the Empire anyway.
In the meantime, considering the flow of funds that will be frozen, it will be a huge loss, but it is better than dying.
In such a situation, those who remained in the Empire were usually three types.
The first was Helios’ soldiers who remained to defend the empire.
The second was child soldiers who were conscripted against their will.
The third was the students and faculty who considered ＜Skientia＞ safer than the outside of the empire, and the refugees accepted by Tia’s mercy.
As a result, there were more people than usual in ＜Skientia＞ and it was in a chaotic state.
“Tiamat. What would you like? It seems difficult to find a place for them to stay right now.”
Of course, there were also defectors in ＜Skientia＞. Although they said they were safe, about half of those who didn’t like being in the middle of the battlefield or those who left because they were worried about their hometown.
But more than that asked to come into ＜Skientia＞.
The fence named [Dragon Emperor]’s realm was reassuring even if it was in the middle of a battlefield.
Tia wanted to stare at the professor who was telling her about it, but then responded by waving her arms.
“What do you do? Except for the elderly, put everyone in an auditorium or something.”
“There are also important people from each country, is that really okay?”
“If you have a bastard who claims to be special with that, come and take a breath from me. They say if you’re still alive after getting hit, you’ll be moved to a special room.”
“… … I will tell you that.”

Kwajik!
Tia started chewing on the lollipops as if she was annoyed by the current situation.
It was string candy instead of chain tobacco.
Similar reports come one after another. The reporting system was broken. Faculty members are also confused and unable to properly navigate.
However, since she was angry about it, Tia was giving back the same answer every time. Of course, the intensity of the answer gradually increased.
“Sister, are you okay?”
“… … then. Don’t be okay.”
Tia was awakened by Spina’s concern for her.
What was her expression like now?
Although Spina is exceptionally good at grasping her inner thoughts, Tia couldn’t be certain what her expression was like now.
Maybe you’re nervous enough to be seen by everyone.
‘This tension… … .’
Instinct was speaking.
That there was someone who could fight her head-on without any geographic advantage or violence of numbers.
“still… … .”
“I was just a little annoyed. Spina. Do not worry about it. Should I go play again after this job? Now that we’ve been to the zoo and aquarium, where should we go next?”
“… … .”
“Resolving all of this, the places you want to go, the things you want to eat, the things you want to do. I’ll listen to you all So Spina.”
It will be an uncertain fight.
He knew that Oz was moving to save her, but the only thing he could trust was himself.
Who cares about who
Right now, anything like Oz will fly away if she just blows the wind.
Her mindset is commendable, but she doesn’t expect it.
“Think about it.”
“yes.”
“Right. That’s right.”
Tia stroked Spina’s hair and smiled broadly.
Yes, she had a family.
She had a reason to work hard and a reason to protect this place.
she has to It’s something only she can do. By the time Tia was clearing her mind.
“Tiamat-nim!”
This time, Ira Merlin, a professor with a pale face, approached.
“No, I heard Noah left Skientia! Is it really okay to let him go?!”
“You said you were going to leave. I have no intention of holding even those who want to get off the fence.”
“But, still, you are our student! Maybe we should protect it? That kid… … !”
“Ira Merlin.”
“… … .”
“Don’t you believe me? Do you think I would have been pushed by public opinion and let him go? Do I look like that?”
“… … Nope.”
“It was his choice.”
I know that a witch hunt has been rampant against her lately.
I fully realized how many people accused her of being the culprit in the process of stopping the kids throwing stones a while ago.
If that was the case, if it was because of that, Tia would have held her by force.
But no.
Those were not the eyes of the kid who had come to ask for adjustments so that he could escape the barrier.
“What may seem like dog death to someone may be a long-cherished wish to be resolved by that person.”
“but!”
“If you’re worried, you can leave too, Aira. If you want to help him, I won’t stop you. There are actually some guys who followed him.”
“… … Can I?”
Ira is a professor at ＜Skientia＞. received a favor
Even if it’s a little help, you have to be by her side and help.
For some reason, Tia smiled at Aira, who was crying.
He’s a guy that can be seen clearly on his face.
It seems that there are quite a few things that he is a good feeling guy.
“Are you afraid I’ll be in danger just because you’re not there?”
“… … .”
“Ira, I promise you. Even if I don’t have you, I won’t have any problems. have you forgotten who i am? Or what? Did this guy or that guy start to see me as water?”
“Nope… … . Tiamat is the best wizard I know.”
“You fool. I’m not the best at magic. Solvent because everything is the best. now you know That I’m not small enough for you to worry about.”
“I’m short, but I mean.”
“There are a lot of guys who are arguing about my height these days. I know how to turn around.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”
Aira wanted to giggle at Tia’s nervous appearance as usual, but then lowered her head.
“I’ll be there.”
“yes.”
“I will definitely come. So Tiamat-sama, as always, should you greet me here?”
“I don’t know. In the meantime, I could have gone on a picnic with Spina.”
“Then I will go. Noah was a problem child. Still, he is a student who enthusiastically listened to my classes.”
“yes?”
“Yeah! … … Just common classes.”
Ira wanted to put on a sly smile and then walked away.
Tia stared blankly at Aira’s back, then muttered to Spina.
“Spinna, can you see? What a wonderful person your sister has made.”
“Yeah, see. You have a lot of friends.”
“It’s a little strange friend… … .”
Tia made a promise. I swore.
In that way, he created a reason for her to come back alive.
I will go on a picnic with Spina.
He will welcome Ira back after saving Eleanor.
“Still, they are friends who never get tired of looking at them.”
That will be her driving force.
So she will protect this big nest.
