Episode 73
They both know how good I am.
“Hey, Emily, let me tell you.”
“I know. Didn’t you mean to keep it a secret that you were brought here on purpose?”
of course.
Never say anything, even for the sake of remorse!
For some reason, I get an ominous feeling that the two of them will hit me hard on the back in quick succession.
“Let’s quickly search and go back.”
After all, the most rewarding time after subduing the wicked is searching for loot.
A search and seizure conducted in the name of justice.
“But will the things left behind by such an ugly monster help?”
“To be honest, Melf and him are third-rate.”
When he was a human, he was just a third-rate black magician who mistakenly thought he could do anything.
In other words, committing a crime and running away, being caught in the monster’s whisper and becoming ugly and corrupted.
“Still, it looks like he’s been stuck here for 30 years and studied blood magic on his own, so there must be something.”
“Do you really want that? You say you don’t want to be that kind of monster?”
“You don’t have to be a monster, do you?”
knowledge is needed
Whether or not I can write is a matter for later research and judgment.
“There is nothing to lose by taking it.”
Above all, blood magic itself is an irregular skill that can be acquired under certain conditions even during the game.
In the first place, using Melfrang was the wrong way to use it.
However, if I can use it, honestly, the probability is half and half.
‘The opening conditions are difficult… … . Even at the time of the game, opinions were divided, so additional verification is needed.’
If it harms me, I just have to give up.
Anyway, even if you have knowledge or data, there is a corner to extract benefits somehow.
Whether it is medicine or poison, once you have it, there is a way to pull out the mulberry.
“First of all, let’s get all the materials and materials.”
First, you need to find a room that plays the role of Melfrang’s workshop or study.
probably around here. Basically, wizards don’t want to stray far from their precious workshops.
“Please be vigilant because you may run into other monsters.”
“Hmm~. That’s when the story came out.”
“What do you have?”
The range of sensing the surroundings is overwhelmingly wider for Emily.
“I guess there must have been other guests.”
“What is that… … .”
Was there anyone besides us breaking in at this point?
… … there will be no
There are 100 freshmen trapped in the Forest of Blood.
It is impossible to grasp the whereabouts of all of them with only the information from the game.
First you need to check
Carefully moving to the point Emily said, I was able to notice the other person’s presence as well.
Remnants of many blood magic… … .
And perhaps the intense magic of someone who fought it.
“… … is it.”
Immediately, information about the corresponding person came to mind.
“Are you enemies?”
“It’s not an enemy. but… … I’m not a very welcome opponent.”
Either way, it might be a bit of a headache.
A large room presumed to be Melfrang’s experimental studio. The remnants of those who were bloodsuckers there are scattered as ashes.
The quantity is quite insignificant.
Even if you can’t, 30 people. Or more.
‘It’s that guy who killed them.’
There is a guy sitting at a desk and leisurely turning over a bundle of parchment that looks like data.
A girl wearing a white robe.
The remnants of mana scattered from him prove that there was a fierce battle just before.
Guess who it is
‘Is it good to talk… … . Or is it better to pretend not to see it?’
The other side hadn’t noticed my presence yet.
I was thinking about it for a while.
“… … invasion… … ruler. … … Abominable Empire… … .”
Something wriggled from the ashes, and then a half-body monster crawled out and reached out to me.
It’s a surprise!
“Chit.”
did you survive
I clicked my tongue and reflexively threw a black flame bullet to cut off his breath.
“Even though they are enemies, they are quite useless.”
I can’t help it, but it’s like I made my existence known first.
“… … Margie?”
The guy looks this way.
Can not. For now, I have to give an appropriate explanation.
I tried to talk
“draft! stomach!”
I immediately looked up at Emily’s warning.
The wind seemed to blow once, but before I knew it, a girl wearing a grove had reached the ceiling above me and was looking down at me.
“Wow, that’s really fast.”
The speed is so fast that you will be amazed.
A movement skill that is reminiscent of instantaneous movement.
I’m guessing it’s a spell called ‘Tempest Step’ that wraps around the body in a gust of wind and blows the body a certain distance like a cannonball.
“Are you a monster too?”
“hey! Wherever you look at it, I look like I’m on the same level as these guys!”
While getting angry at her murmur, he and I fire magic at each other.
Storm bullets with cold air and black flame bullets with condensed heat fly at the same time and collide and cancel each other.
“… … black magic. The devil is attached to it.”
“It’s a classmate. look. And haven’t you been taught by adults to be careful when blowing magic?”
“I knew it was a monster because it had a lot of demonic energy. And the adults in my hometown say to burn a warlock once you see it and then talk to him?”
“How anachronistic!”
This is why the old wizards!
Anyway, as if the suspicion had been resolved, the pressure of the mana emitted by that girl decreased.
He lands on the ground lightly and without making a sound and looks over at me again.
“Come to think of it, there was a black magician among your classmates, right? aha! That’s you!”
“It’s Xi’an. You probably don’t care, but remember.”
When I said her name first, the girl murmured, “Cyan?” and slightly tilted the hem of the hood of her robe.
I guess you really didn’t even know his name.
It’s disappointing, but it’s roughly the expected reaction.
It’s not like he’s a person who deserves to introduce himself, so it’s better to talk from me first.
“Michelle Whistinil… … . Right?”
I wouldn’t be surprised if I knew her name first.
“You’re second in the grade, right? I heard your name.”
At this point, the top freshman is Elcia.
Number 1 is that girl.
So who is the 2nd place?
The hooded girl in front of me right now is the second place.
In any case, there is nothing strange about pretending to know the name.
“Uh uh uh uh uh… … . Does the Warlock really remember my name?”
More than anything, she likes it herself.
Where did the sharp atmosphere from a moment ago go? Her shoulders tremble with a very suspicious laugh.
“that’s right! I am Michelle Whistinil! This is the name that will become the greatest wizard in the future!”
“ah… … . Yes.”
Michelle Whistinil.
Affiliation is a public magic class.
The only wizard not belonging to the Mage Tower.
The youngest disciple of the Forest of Wisdom.
Lab destroyer, serial magic nuisance woman, cheeky kid.
Besides that, a magical genius with various modifiers attached.
It can be said that she is a heroine representing the magic class.
Although he is a genius, he is far from a lofty image.
A person who has a strong desire to reveal himself and asserts his desire exceptionally strongly among wizards.
“Unexpectedly, it might be similar to Xian.”
“What are you talking about? I’m not like that. Are you calmer and more dignified?”
“… … .”
What is it? Why are you looking at me with such absurd eyes? Mr. Emily?
“Yes, it was Xi’an, right? I’ll remember. But what were you doing in a place like this?”
“That is what I want to ask. … … I can only guess.”
The material he was reading was undoubtedly the blood of Melfrang.
“Michelle, are you a burglar too?”
“Don’t call me an empty housekeeper. Because I, a genius, have been looking after such a trivial research.”
Is that empty house hair?
It’s the same purpose as me, what.
“… … After all, it is similar to Xian.”
Noisy.
“Ah~, but it’s boring. I did something with this kind of barrier, but it’s just this kind of research.”
Michelle casually tossed the material she had been reading onto the desk in genuine disappointment.
“It would have been quite interesting to have heard it while the owner of the material was still alive.”
“I didn’t see the guy who wore this, but did you defeat the warlock?”
I shrugged and said nothing.
Not even something to brag about.
That would have been enough to understand anyway.
“Hmm… … . Then I don’t want to see you any more.”
Upon hearing that the owner of this place has disappeared, Michelle turns her back as if she has rapidly lost interest.
“Do you have any more business?”
“doesn’t exist. I don’t even think there’s anything I need. It’ll be fun, but I don’t want to see it anymore because my taste is nasty.”
“It’s nasty… … .”
“I wanted to find the owner of this, step on it, and laugh at it.”
He said it was a reward for being locked up in such a foolish barrier.
It was said with a bright smile, but it was bloody and sincere.
“Isn’t it fun stepping on such a pathetic idiot? yes?”
“I agree.”
I can’t say no.
Even when he speaks arrogantly, his tone is mixed with a strange contempt.
“… … Well, if you defeated the warlock, I’m no longer interested.”
After speaking with a cheeky smile, the boy stepped into a hole in the wall.
I wondered where you came from… … . Could it be that he broke the outer wall of the blood tree and entered?
Originally, it entered through the blood tree that was wrapped in blood magic that was impossible to enter.
“Ah, if you’re in trouble, Michelle can help you?”
“I don’t need either. We already know how to solve this situation.”
“Hey… … .”
openly demanded.
second seat. Michelle’s skills are already known.
Among freshmen, the strongest of the public magic classes.
Because he uses a lot of high-powered magic unique to public magic, he is unique among his classmates when it comes to pure destructive power.
‘But I can’t use him at this point.’
From noble mtl dot com
It is the personality of my own pace that greatly cuts down on that strength.
Her personality is so selfish that it is difficult to lead her.
To put it simply, he’s the type to openly say, ‘I won’t listen to someone weaker than me!’
‘For now, I think it’ll be more helpful to let them act as they please.’
In addition, in Chapter 2 of the game days, there was no passage that could reveal Michelle’s whereabouts.
Then it’s better to let it do its own thing.
When I flatly refused without hesitation, somehow Michelle was at a loss for words and stared at me.
“Hmm~ I don’t need it. Well, I will do that.”
It doesn’t sound like he’s upset about being rejected.
Rather, it’s more like a feeling of interest.
“Then do your best. Black magician.”
As if there was nothing more to do, Michelle jumped off the wall.
When I looked out, it was already moving all the way away.
“That… … Are you a magical genius?”
Well, thanks to that guy, I’ll be able to search his workshop quietly.
In the meantime, preparations for the start of phase 2 will be made.
“Let’s hurry up and get out.”

humiliation and anger.
“… … That kid aaa!”
Bloodthirsty Melfrang screamed as he recalled the last scene he remembered.
It is the strength and knowledge gained even while going beyond the human framework.
However, the power of madness accumulated over 30 years was denied by a kid who had not lived even a speck of dust in his life.
with skill too.
“I will never forgive that kid! certainly! I will definitely make you pay!”
As a counter-indictment, he turned all his hatred towards the boy, Xian.
As he gradually regains his reason, he slowly begins to recognize his situation again.
“I live… … Anything left?!”
lost to cyan
Melfrang was thoroughly destroyed and had no choice but to accept death once.
But his spirit is still clinging to this world.
Before being completely destroyed and annihilated, he managed to split his soul and escape.
This is possible because he is a monster who has already cast off the frame of a human body.
… … And the ability of the one who rescued him who was only a soul.
“Ahh… … . Are you still saving me?”
After barely reconstructing his body, he bowed his head deeply, recognizing the existence that had saved his soul.
“I am truly sorry for showing ugliness. You are bloody.”
[…] … .]
“Don’t worry. Although there are unexpected interruptions, the completion of the ceremony is not affected in any way. The arrival of the Human World you desire will surely come true.”
I’ve been taking 30 years.
I know what that existence wants to say and what it wants without having to listen to it through language.
