Episode 67
“Is it Enthilon? Even if you become a professor, your sword skills are still the same.”
“… … I don’t know who you are saying that, but you’re terrible.”
When Entilon applied strength to his greatsword and pushed it away, the black knight was pushed back in the power struggle.
“this! I am ignorant… … .”
It doesn’t give you room to grumble.
Professor Entilon wields the greatsword as it is, and mercilessly strikes the sword at the enemy.
Quagga Gaga River!
The slash was so unstoppable that even Professor Richard, who was watching, was contemplating.
Every time a single slash hits the ground, the ground shakes as if screaming.
“Professor Richard, step back at this gap! Dangerous!”
“yes? But the attacker… … .”
Thinking that there was no way he could survive being hit by that combo attack, Professor Richard asked blankly.
He didn’t need to hear the answer from Professor Enthilon.
“It’s embarrassing to think you’ve been killed!”
The sword extended by the black knight, who had withstood the merciless slash and rushed forward, was about to touch the nape of Professor Entilon’s neck.
“I didn’t even think about it.”
Singing coldly, Professor Antilon struck the sword aiming at his throat with his bare fist and bounced it out of me.
“You’re no different than a rat.”
Just like that, the fist was driven into the black knight’s helmet.
Quaang!
My head shakes at the power that lightly shatters rocks, and Professor Antilon’s grip grabs it.
From noble mtl dot com
“You seem to like ungodly fights, so I’ll adjust accordingly.”
Plug it in as it is.
If he were an ordinary human, the impact alone would have made the inside of his armor covered with pulverized flesh and bone powder.
But the intent to kill doesn’t go away.
No, it is rather thick and sharpened.
“… … What the hell is this guy?”
Entilon did not deny the ominous suspicion and immediately struck down the sword.
The sword of the black knight who jumped up immediately countered it.
“hahahaha! sick! okay! It has to be at this level to be worth accepting. Isn’t it a waste of fighting to waste time!”
“… … you guy.”
In front of an enemy who received damage and was rather happy and emitting a creepy aura, Antilon remained silent.
Originally, I was going to hold my breath to some extent and pursue all the things.
At this moment, that thought has completely disappeared.
“It would be wiser not to leave even a trace.”
It speaks of the senses accumulated while living on the battlefield for a considerable amount of time.
If it doesn’t work, it’s just to increase the destructive power to the extreme and turn it into ashes.
Ignorant, but the most obvious answer.
Kwagagagga River!
The sword that swallowed the monster as it is, shows the power of a storm along with his sword movements, soars upwards and then disappears.
However, it did not cause much damage to Professor Richard or those around him who were watching.
In case of emergency, it was exquisitely adjusted so as not to cause damage to the surroundings.
“It is absurd. The department head’s sword skills.”
“Isn’t this the time to admire? What happened?”
Professor Richard was able to properly report what he had seen this time.
“… … That’s how it happened.”
“Kuh! You should send a copy to the students to inform them of the situation, and other professors to rescue the students immediately!”
order to discontinue practice immediately.
The professors who had already heard the commotion and came to the school also wanted to act rather than ask for detailed explanations.
The professors who tried to put them into the forest quickly.
But their footsteps had to stop.
“What?”
For a moment, what came to mind was the words the black knight had spoken.
He said it was a buy for time.
And they now know what that means.
outskirts of the forest.
Starting from the border where you enter the forest full of red trees, red light radiates and spreads upward.
“… … Barrier.”
There was no reason to think about what purpose it was created for.
“Did you really lock the children in the forest?”
“Is access from the outside impossible?”
“Hurry up and release the barrier!”
He gritted his teeth and gave the order again.
“Call the dean! right now!”
“yes?”
“It may be an issue that we cannot deal with here. … … No, it already happened.”
It was no longer simply a matter of face.
If not, it might leave a terrible record in the history of the Imperial Academy.
It was also a very humiliating disaster.
“You look like a f*cking bastard!”
He was convinced of that, gave strength to the hand holding the sword, and rushed toward the barrier.
* * *
Delidin, a 83rd class student at Philos Academy, urged the team members and led them.
“Do you want to fall behind? Today, it will surely pay off! Got it!”
“Why are you so hot?”
“Noisy! Shouldn’t we catch the big game properly too! You can’t even send a message with just a wolf!”
The other students let out a sigh as the other students moderately stopped Delidin, who was a bit overly motivated.
“… … That idiot, you must have been properly stimulated.”
“I heard there are guys who caught huge monsters?”
From time to time, he exchanged information with other teams he encountered and heard who hunted which monsters.
What stands out in particular is the performance of her factions centered on Chief Elcia.
and cyan.
It is said that only trolls and other big players were found and defeated.
He even heard that Cyan’s team had achieved overwhelming results even though there were only three members.
“Would it be okay if I fell behind those guys! yes?!”
The reason Delidin is motivated is because his family is a family of knights who have accumulated achievements by subjugating monsters for generations.
“We have to show that we are experts in hunting monsters, not warlocks!”
“No one is watching, so what?”
“Even so, can you find something that goes out as soon as the sun rises?”
As the fourth day approached, it became difficult to find quite a few monsters.
In the end, what Delidin suggested was to go deeper into the forest.
“Isn’t that too reckless?”
“If I think it’s dangerous, I’ll throw it out right away.”
Claiming to have that level of judgment, Delidin led the team and went straight into the forest.
how far did you go
Delidin stopped first and raised his hand to signal the team to stop.
It means there is something.
“Who are you?”
It was the time when Delidin drew his sword and the other students also entered their combat stance.
“It’s not the footsteps of some beast.”
There is someone.
At least, if they had no reason to be hostile, they wouldn’t bother hiding.
Even if they were caught watching, they would make an appropriate excuse and come forward willingly, or they would run away.
However, the presence is still stopped at the spot where it was first detected.
much less
“… … I don’t know what it is, but it’s a filthy ominous feeling.”
I felt chills of unknown origin.
I still lack experience, but I don’t hesitate to do what I have to do.
“Shoot! hurry!”
No one disagrees with that order.
Students who can use magic chant and shoot magic.
2nd circle fire attribute magic.
fireball.
About five fireballs flew in a parabolic arc.
Not being relieved by that, the students holding the sword prepared their posture, and those holding the bow also drew a demonstration.
I don’t expect at all that it would have ended with magic just a moment ago.
The purpose of setting fire was to put an end to it when, even if it did not hit the flames, they could not stand the spreading flames and ran out.
however… … .
“… … Why don’t you even budge?”
Whether humans or monsters, there was no way they could survive being surrounded by fire.
however.
No change takes place.
“Delidin, didn’t you see something wrong?”
“How could that be! You guys are feeling it even now! That unbelievably terrible thing!”
It can’t be an illusion.
“Sheesh! If you don’t want to come out, even now.”
It was the moment he was about to consider retreat.
It moves.
That terrible sign moved. It was probably one step closer.
“what?”
I couldn’t help but be stunned.
The flames caused by the fire magic a while ago disappeared as soon as the presence moved.
It suppressed the effect of flame magic with only the energy it possessed and squeezed it out.
Like stepping on an insect to kill it.
“This is why I can’t use the poor kids. It is a precious forest. You can’t eat it by burning it. Kick kick.”
Muttering words mixed with blatant ridicule that belittled them, the ominous owner finally appeared.
“… … monster?”
“no… … , is that a monster?”
Monsters don’t talk.
Although there are some extremely rare creatures with intelligence, the world doesn’t treat them as monsters.
human.
However, it was immediately recognizable that he was an existence outside the normal human frame.
It has a human form and face. But that’s all.
The skin is hardened like a rough grain of wood, and the eyes are shining red as if they are full of blood.
“What are you doing… … Are you a guy?”
“Do you think you will need an answer? pitiful things.”
“Kuh! This bastard!”
Delidin gritted his teeth and charged with his sword raised.
It was reckless, but there was no other way.
getaway? If the monster would allow it, it wouldn’t have shown itself.
I’d rather just hope for a situation where I’m caught off guard.
“Kick.”
Of course, nothing hopeful could happen.
As if the sword that Delidin struck was insignificant, the monster raised his arm moderately and blocked it as if he were bringing it to the sword.
Caang!
“Ugh?!”
A feeling like hitting a heavy metal.
The blade of the sword was broken and Delidin couldn’t stand it and let go of the sword due to the terrible pain.
“how… … .”
“You are just weak. They are nothing but trivial dichotomy.”
There is no difference between urine and feces. The monster deliberately insulted the children and giggled.
“food… … say?”
An ominous sense of discomfort.
That monster didn’t kill itself or its comrades for some reason.
They don’t even attack, they watch the frightened children happily and giggle, but they don’t kill them.
If you put your mind to it, you can do it.
“Yes, nutrients! Food for the one who will take root! In that sense, let me offer you a welcome, foolish human.”
“Bullsh*t!”
There was no way I could stay still after hearing something close to insulting.
Gritting their teeth, the other children also attacked.
He swung his weapon at will, barely calmed his trembling breath, and chanted his magic to the end.
But none of them work.
“Kikik, try to rebel to your heart’s content. It’s easier to drag it if you break it yourself.”
The guy deliberately waited.
Attacks that wield a weapon are hit once, then countered and subdued.
The slow magic casting waits until it yawns and tramples the frightened wizard and breaks the staff.
“Don’t kill me. Blood is preserved for a long time on the living side. The blood hardens after it dies and is useless.”
“what… … is it happening! What the hell is this forest!”
Delidin lost even the will to fight any more and cried out in vain.
Perhaps his expression was pleasant, but the monster put the words into his mouth as if on a whim.
“He will finally descend.”
“what?”
“There comes a time when blood clots take root.”
One thing was certain.
The fact that things are going to happen that shouldn’t be happening here.
“I will let you engrave that holy sight on your eyes before it becomes nourishment. Foolish dogs of the Empire.”
And that there is no such thing as hope.
this is the start.
Bloodthirsty.
The time when the monsters who are hiding in the forest finally move after the not-so-short period of deceit.
everything according to their arrangements.
Foolish children of the empire will be sacrificed to the monsters that will bloom in this forest.
“You will not be able to stop our longing.”
They arrogantly declare it as if it were taken for granted, revealing their ominous presence.
Because there’s no need to hide anymore.
I’m sure there’s no one who can get in my way now.
… … At least.
According to the fate they are sure of, there will be no one to stop these monsters.
At least if it was fate as they knew it.
