018. Sword Demon (2)
Verys noticed the change thanks to the powerful flow of mana that exploded throughout the dormitory.
She was taking a nap in the sunlight, and what was this? A strong barrier surrounded the dormitory, so it was clear that it was not an ordinary thing.
“Interfering with mana flow? Is it a curse type?”
Furthermore, it seemed that this bluish barrier was not an ordinary guy, and he felt a restriction in the flow of mana. Even if you spread your palms out and collect mana right now, it’s a distinctly different feeling compared to normal times.
“Heo Eok, Heo Eok, someone help me!”
“Huh?”
Verys looked around at the huge barrier that covered the entire dormitory and the cold atmosphere of silence, but for a moment, she heard rough breathing and a sharp voice.
Judging by the clothes she is wearing, she seems to be a student at the academy.
A group of people who covered their faces with a black cloth were chasing him behind him, but the atmosphere they gave off was unusual.
“It’s a familiar energy.”
The form of bloody dripping mana made me feel like I could barely remember her.
However, contrary to her worries, Veris threw herself away. Still, he is a student at the same academy, so wouldn’t it be possible to watch someone die right in front of him?
“What kind of guy are you?”
As Veris jumped off the roof of the building and landed between a group of black-clad students and students, a sharp reaction flew in.
They were ignorantly armed with large swords or skewers, but as if they weren’t restricted by the use of mana, a vicious aura still swayed around them at this very moment.
What does that mean? It is said that these guys are closely related to the Beasts who opened a large-scale barrier, and for some reason, they broke into the academy on a quiet weekend.
“What kind of people are you?”
“Huh? He’s a very bad talker.”
The man in black took a step closer, as if he was interested in Veris’ resolute reaction.
In fact, the mission they were given was simple. Wandering around the dormitory, creating a commotion, and driving all the students who were swallowed up in fear into one place.
It was a sudden change of order, but it was much easier than subduing each student one by one. That’s why I didn’t think I’d find it difficult to work, but to think there was such a brave guy.
“Even, let’s run away. You can’t use mana here right now!”
But in the current situation where her mana is sealed and she can’t even do her usual job, wasn’t she trusting Berris to fight them?
Her The student who had just been seeking help shouted at Berris in frustration.
But if Berris had been the kind of person who would listen to her just because she said that, she wouldn’t have been arguing here in the first place.
“To where? Is it safe there? You and who are you talking nonsense about?”
“That, that… ….”
“What grade are you in?”
“…… This is the second year.”
“You pitiful bastard.”
“Ugh.”
Perhaps it was because of Veris’ dignified tone, she quickly became polite.
In addition, the way he flinched at the short but stinging voice reprimanding him, he probably knew how ugly it was to leave his enemies behind and run away.
However, there was also an unfair side to the situation of the students.
Even if you want to wield the sword coolly right now, only a small amount of mana reacts to his will. What does that mean
It is said that a spell that obstructs the flow of mana is currently being activated within this barrier.
Then, of course, it was right to choose to run away. That’s why I ran away from them to the extent that my feet sweated…….
“Cluck, they’re stepping out and trying to punish you.”
The black righteous man who saw Veris’ stately appearance felt so absurd and happy about the current situation.
It is true that I was wary thanks to the sudden appearance. However, he is not fighting against them by joining forces, but is having a disagreement, so how can he lose to these kids?
Two kids who can’t even use mana. That meant that it was possible to deal with them without having to use force properly.
─Seureureung.
“Sir! Are you really going to fight them?”
“It’s noisy, so speak quietly.”
“I can’t use mana, so what…… !”
“Hey.”
“Yes?”
“I forgot to tell you, but I’m in first grade.”
─Hey!
The low-quality iron sword given to all students shone.
“Crazy!”
─Kang!
A simple swing that does not contain any mana. However, the black man who had considered the two students to be prey had no choice but to let out a cry full of astonishment.
It wasn’t a desperate swordsmanship or ritual, it was just a dry swing of the sword.
In response, he moved his body reflexively to block the sword, but was it an unexpected result?
From noble mtl dot com
“… ….”
The group of men in black couldn’t help but stare blankly at the student in front of him.
“This is…… At the level of a single student?”
Because they also trained the black mana passed down from the Demon Church, they know that the sword just didn’t contain any energy.
But what does this mean? Why did the old sword collide with a large sword containing the energy of destruction, but the blade of the sword was cut cleanly?
They are skilled combatants. How to survive long on this floor Is there anyone who doesn’t know the first.
‘If you encounter an enemy stronger than yourself, run away without hesitation.’
─Tadadak!
The group of men in black, who exchanged glances in a situation where it was already clear that the enemy was not at their level to deal with, soon turned around and started to run away.
But who are they against?
No matter how much she is in the barrier, she is Veris with abilities that are different from those of ordinary knights and wizards.
“Experience points are running away?”
Looking at the back of the group who made a desperate escape, Berryss muttered softly as he snapped his neck.
“You can’t go after them… ….”
“Then I have to catch it.”
─Whoosh!
“Huh?”
The student couldn’t help but put on a dazed expression as he looked at the spot where Veris had been standing since he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It is a series of shocking events that cannot be understood. Could it be that the one he was with became a ghost?
“Are you hanging on to the hallucination ceremony?”
The student shook her head. With the thought that if this incident goes well, I should go to the commercial district and make a medicine to eat.

“f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!”
The man in black uttered a curse filled with despair.
All the members of the team who had already moved with him fell to his sword, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
He must have tasted enough blood, but his purpose was to eliminate all intruders, and he showed his tenacity not to let go of an opponent like a hunting dog.
And what makes it even more creepy is that he’s not using any mana.
He simply used his body’s ability to scatter black mana and deal with them as if they were drinking tea. The reality that makes black people even more afraid.
“Keuugh!”
The legs were already trying to break away from the owner’s will and stop their activity, and thanks to the mana being drawn to the limit, the flow is about to be cut off at any moment.
“Kwaaah!”
“Damn it.”
The man in black couldn’t help but tremble when the screams of other colleagues echoed in the distance.
He is a disaster.
Even as he watched his comrades, who were not restricted by any restrictions within this barrier, be cut down by him step by step, the man was unable to respond in the face of that overwhelming power.
Thanks to having already used his strength to the limit, the black man was finally at a crossroads of choice.
Anyway, due to the nature of this barrier, it is now impossible to go outside or come inside. Then, what would be the best option for him, who had already lost his fighting ability?
─Sasak!
The man in black hurriedly threw himself into the bush at the sound of the screams getting closer and closer.
Escape? He used his comrades as sacrifices and ran away until the moment before, but he keenly realized how pointless it was to avoid him within this barrier.
Then, there is only one option left.
Hidden in the bushes, there was nothing to do but pray to the demon.
─Tbubk, tumble.
‘Lord of darkness who contemplates all things, please look down on me.’
Soon after he heard only one footstep in the plaza he passed, the man in black closed his eyes tightly.
‘Suck!’
Steps are getting closer. The entire continent trembled at the mere mention of that unknown fear, and the combatants of the Demon Church covered their mouths like little girls and stopped breathing.
─Tbubk, tumble.
Did the demon hear his earnest will to hope that this crisis would pass?
The man in black had no choice but to pay tribute to the devil at the fact that the sound of his footsteps was getting farther and farther away. The guy probably couldn’t find his location.
Perhaps other comrades will be sacrificed to him, but for now, wouldn’t it be more urgent for him to live for himself?
But…….
Basrak.
“Did you hide here?”
“hahahaha, gone. It wasn’t.”
At that handsome face that appeared with a mischievous smile, despair bloomed on the face of the righteous man in black.

“What is this!”
“How to use magic…….”
The auditorium, located in the corner of the dormitory building, was greeted with a sudden commotion.
Thanks to most of the students being evacuated, more than a hundred people were taking their breath away in the auditorium, but in a short time when they could not react, a gigantic magic struck the students.
“Sorry. Suppression magic is not my specialty.”
Even more shocking is the fact that the one who used magic on them was the professor, whom the students had no doubt about.
Professor Theon looked at them with a fishy smile.
It was a pity. It would have been easier if he had subdued all the test subjects gathered here at once, but there were a few who resisted his magic.
“Saint Cecilia, elven swordsman Arwen, swordsman genius Gunther…… It looks appetizing just by looking at it. Oh, student council president. Did you survive too?”
Students stand up among students who have lost their minds and look at Theon with hostile eyes. Unfortunately, there were only ten of them, so Theon couldn’t help but look sad.
“The world’s academy students are only at this level.”
“Professor Theon! What are you?”
“Oh, the saintess remembers my name, is this an honor?”
Kick-kick. Theon, who let out a laugh that leaked out like a madman, lowered his head and shook his body.
Sure.
And soon after he got up, his eyes were filled with red energy that was clearly different from the previous one. So, why can’t I introduce myself now?
“I have to say hello to everyone again. It is none other than Theon, who will ‘soon’ ascend to the Twelve Black Seats of the Order.”
The black mana full of resentment began to rotate around him.
The strong man who appeared while mana was suppressed, soon took out a short staff from her arms.
