New Threats (3)
So that the fuss was dropped as soon as the student member entered.
The Duchy of Beltern suffered little damage.
Summoners under the duke arrived on time, and the citizens were not late to evacuate, so there were only a few injuries.
A few buildings were destroyed in the aftermath of the battle, but considering the invasion of SS rank summons, there was no damage.
However, the atmosphere in the hall was still heavy.
The Duchy of Beltern had a defense that was slightly lower than that of the capital, so it was natural for this to happen.
What is more important is the fact that everyone’s concerns have become a reality.
“It’s fortunate that the damage was small, but seeing that it was defeated relatively easily, it seems that he was summoned as an incarnation rather than a true god…”
“If it’s an old dragon, even if it’s summoned as an incarnation, it’s the highest level of SS rank. If it had been invaded by another territory, not the Duchy of Beltern, would it have been possible…”
If you’re summoned by Jinshin, it’s enough to just kill him somehow…
This is like fighting the shadow of the Demon Eye Dragon.
As long as he doesn’t die from his own dimension, he’ll come back again and again.
Normally, even in this kind of guerrilla warfare, the highest S rank.
This is a level that the lords of each region can solve on their own.
But when it comes to dragons, the dimension is different.
Even this invasion alone, the Duke of Beltern’s direct unit or the Duke himself must have managed to block it.
If this isn’t about four generations, you have to open your eyes.
Moreover, the questionable facts remain.
Michael with a serious expression pointed it out on behalf of everyone.
“Even though it is an incarnation summoning, an old dragon is an old dragon. To summon it to this world, it would require preparation and a huge amount of money… Where else did it come from?”
“Huh? His name is an old dragon, but doesn’t he have the ability to move between dimensions? In the first place, it’s easy to cross our dimension from another place?
Persia raises her right front foot and asks a question.
The dean himself explained it with a slightly peculiar expression.
“That’s because your hometown dimension was relatively close to our dimension. Geographically, it’s like a neighborhood next door.”
“Ah… Even at the bottom of the dimension, isn’t it easy to get over from anywhere?”
“Yeah. Jumping from a height of 1 meter and jumping from a height of 10 meters are obviously different, right? It’s similar to that.”
In the first place, the realm near our dimension has been explored for a long time.
There is only one reason why our ancestors couldn’t find 4 ancient dragons in advance.
Because they were living in a far-off dimension.
“If it’s that far away, no matter how old a dragon is… In other words, even if it has its own dimension-shifting ability, you need to get help from the locals.”
“Maybe Einclad…”
“Don’t make assumptions. There’s no evidence yet.”
“They are now locked in a private dormitory.”
“No, I could have used that as a trick and applied for it from Einclad’s home country.”
“While sending not only the high-ranking nobles above the count-level, but also the children of the royal family as hostages? A sound that makes sense…”
“Is this the time to talk about politics? The Dimensional Watch will take care of that.”
The dean, who settled the atmosphere of being a mess at once, returned to the main point of the story.
In fact, it’s a bit funny to have a serious operation meeting at the academy… The members of the Royal Magnus Academy have a duty to protect the kingdom like other nobles.
Students and teachers are no exception.
“What we need to focus on is gathering information about the old dragons and dealing with them.”
“Then… Why did the Demon Dragon Uzart suddenly invade? While it had been quiet for thousands of years before. After all?”
A slightly more constructive and academic part… In other words, the Summoning Prophecy professor who turns the topic towards the motives of the Wyrms.
It seems that that part was not mentioned properly in the Book of Heaven.
The dean accepts her suspicions indifferently.
“Maybe it’s because of you, Eshas…”
As if he didn’t want to be called in a high voice, the dean gave his honorific name with a considerable gap.
Last night, the gazes of the elder dragons clearly turned to the royal palace where Eshas was staying.
I don’t know why, but it seems like they want to summon her, the same old dragon, to their own dimension.
It is an armed demonstration that will destroy the kingdom if it does not come and visit directly.
“Then other Wyrms may resume their activities soon.”
“So, we need to get rid of Uzat, the Demon Dragon, even more. This is better because we have information about it.”
“But it’s realistically impossible to break into that dimension. If it’s that far away, you’ll have to leave most of your pets alone.”
Usually, when this happens, the traditional solution is to break into the home of the causative pet and kill it completely.
However, the base of the Demon Eye Dragon is too far away.
It is difficult to cross the dimension itself, and if you do, you will surely be annihilated in the Demon Eye Dragon’s nest.
It’s not a very good idea to fight an old dragon in the middle of an enemy line.
‘Even if it’s possible to go over with the Demon Lord, I don’t want to fight like that every time…’
Let’s find those who helped summon the Demon Dragon and destroy them.
The old dragons have already taken an interest in our dimension.
It would take a lot more time and effort, but it’s not impossible for them to come on their own.
It is best to destroy the old dragons, which are the root of the problem.
However, the odds of winning an expeditionary battle in their dimension are slim.
It is also a matter of returning from a dimension that is that far away.
Anticipating a tough and tiring fight, the personnel inside the room frowned.
As if the dean knew it, he smiled and said something absurd.
“It might be better.”
“yes?”
“Anyway, we avoided the worst situation of the 4 ancient dragons invading Korea at once. The combat power of the incarnation body is not even half that of the real body, so the great families from all over the country can deal with it enough.”
“But if we don’t get rid of those who are the real cause of the problem…”
The dean’s smile overlapped in my head as I was betting hard.
He doesn’t laugh every day… but I’ve seen that same laugh in the near past.
As he trembled as he wanted to, he nodded his head softly.
“Dimensional Summoning.”
“Well, are you going to use that to summon the spirit of the Demon Eye Dragon?”
“Yeah. It’s very different from normal Jinshin summoning. If you use Dimensional Summoning, you can summon him only for a short time while the summoning circle is maintained.
The bold idea of summoning not only a part of the dimension, but also the whole spirit of the Demon Eye Dragon.
If you don’t catch it within the time limit, you’ll only lose reagents and magic power… but it’s much faster and safer than going on an expedition to that dimension.
“If that’s the case, we can dig a trap from here.”
“But wasn’t that unfinished technology?”
“It meant that it was not at a level that could be used in practice, and the operation itself was fine. If I hadn’t intervened, it would have unfolded smoothly.”
“If that’s the case, how much can it be used in practice…”
“How do you deal with the Wyrm’s magic resistance?”
“You don’t need to calculate that. Because you’re summoning the entire space around you.”
Even the professors who had been diligent in their opinions acknowledged that the chances of success were high in the near future.
As I watch the summoning team prepare the materials, etc., everyone takes care of it, my heart feels a little magnificent.
We think we can fight or help out later, so we leave with the dean’s permission.
As a student, knowing too much is somewhat of a problem.
If you do not know anything at all, there is a possibility that information may be leaked.
This operation will be as large as the previous one, but for the sake of security, we have decided to proceed with the academy’s routine.
First of all, it is clear that there are forces in Korea that are supporting the summoning of ancient dragons.
It’s unlikely they’re actively communicating with the Demon Eye Dragon… but I don’t want to give them room to deal with anything.
“I’m glad it’s going to be easier than expected.”
“Still, I’m a little worried about my hometown.”
“Your house is always ready for battle.”
“Master, can’t we go in after a short walk?”
I accepted Persia’s request and walked around the campus over the weekend.
Occasionally he sees other summons and barks, so he pulls out a leash and puts it on.
He accepted it without any hesitation.
“Oh, that’s… I see. All you need is a muzzle.”
“What, you’re surprisingly quiet?”
“Because Persia likes to be tamed.”
Medusha, who said with a grin, moved on without delay.
In the corner of the view, in the dormitory for international students, Albion and others were going out to dinner.
Let’s spend the weekend as it is, Monday comes like fate.
I was a little surprised to find an Albion gang in the near future, after attending a special lecture on summoning combat techniques.
“Did international students also take special lectures in the second year?”
“They say that those with the highest grades in the transfer exam were transferred to the second year.”
While waiting while listening to Elfriede’s explanation, the professor soon entered.
It’s a special lecture that’s nothing special, but it’s a bit baffling because it’s about to fight Ma-An-Ryong.
Of course, we just started preparing last weekend, so we’ll have to wait a while to really fight him.
I tried not to be too impatient, paying attention to the professor’s voice.
“As everyone already knows, individual battles are rarer in practice. The basic combat techniques of upper-grade summons are multiplayer. Let’s practice large-scale strategy today.”
‘Ah, this…’
A special lecture similar to the special training I have been taking every day lately.
I’m feeling a little tired, but… I was nervous because there was only one training partner, Demon King, but it worked out.
I will take this opportunity to properly examine my skills.
“huh.”
The Demon King, who snorted at my thoughts, looked outward with his arms crossed.
Even if you make a mistake, you will be severely reprimanded later.
Thanks to this, I was alert and focused on the professor’s explanation.
There are a lot more things to be concerned about in practice… Today is the first day of the special lecture.
Therefore, all summons were treated at the same level.
A method of counting only the approximate disease type and number of heads.
The development of the practice resembles a board game such as chess.
“Well, the board game we played hard last weekend would be better.”
“It would be fun if you just look at it.”
“Are other students and pets serving as props?”
“Are you sure you’ll follow my orders?”
The professor, who selected a few students and assigned them the role of a soldier, started the mock war without delay.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just like I did with the Demon King, the students compete one-on-one for leadership.
Of course, most of them do not even have practical experience, so they often stumble.
The students and summons in the role of soldiers worked quite hard, but the commands were so vague or inaccurate that they couldn’t even listen to them even if they wanted to.
Also, leadership is not for everyone.
As I watched the other students, as well as my summons, openly laugh, I vowed not to be embarrassed or embarrassed.
Before long, the professor called me to the stage.
When I turned my head to see who my opponent was… Albion was probably going up the stairs.
Enduring the urge to roll your eyes towards the professor at the rather malicious selection, keep an eye on your camp.
I first decided on the names of each unit clearly.
“Morrison, front row. Lecia back row. Cypress’s task force.”
The professor responded positively to the names that roughly implied their respective roles.
Albion on the other side is quite proficient in pre-work.
“That guy is pretty good at conducting royal subjects. He was raised to use it properly.”
It’s been a while since I thought of you as a demon lord who is already being kind to you…
Soon, I had to completely agree.
Albion is different from the previous ones in terms of voice.
Most of the students here are aristocrats, but at least it’s a shame compared to Albion.
Then the signal to start the battle.
I first carefully equipped herpes.
Unlike before, the students in the pawn roles move quite quickly.
‘Have you just gotten used to it?’
“No. Since the command has changed, of course, the movements of the soldiers should also change.”
The monologue of the past seemed so resentful, the Demon King who talks a lot today.
However, the movement had also changed over there.
A skill that could not be hidden came out of Albion’s orders.
‘I really don’t understand. Why would such a royal family go to a foreign academy…’
“Louis. Concentrate first. Defeat is unacceptable.”
‘I know.’
Concentrate on conducting while receiving the support of the excited Demon King.
Unbeknownst to me, my voice grew louder and clearer.
