Elcloud Punch(7)
I’m sorry Count Cartea, but… Actually, we didn’t think we had to win here.
What we were seeking was not a victory in battle, but a victory in war.
The Count of Cartea was only a stronghold city in the southwest, and it was unreasonable to see it as a proper military base.
Not to mention, to the west is the Great Wall of Westwall, and to the south is the Duchy of Beltern.
Unless it’s an unusual case like this one, it’s a location where you don’t have to face the enemy.
Therefore, Count Cartea did not invest much in military power.
That was a reasonable decision.
Of course, as the name of the city is a base city, it has the minimum defense, but that’s about it.
Therefore, what we had originally planned was far from the final battle.
When I was in the car, my intention was that I could only do delayed battles and then jump out into the capital.
After all, time is on our side.
Moreover, the capital is much more solid than that of the Count of Cartea.
It was for that reason that the gate for ultra-long-distance transmission was operated while paying the huge maintenance cost…
no need now
“Hey, do you think you’ve won this much?”
“yes.”
The demon king, who flew into the air, responded lightly and swung his dual swords in both hands.
At the same time, the maidservant hides silently nearby.
The faces of the summoners who followed them and started attacking were very bright.
It’s not that difficult to attack an opponent who has already tried to remove the tail once.
I don’t know how the Red Dragon Zakhar was replenishing his magical power, but it must have consumed a considerable amount to advance here.
Odds are not enough, it overflows.
As if it calmed me down as I thought so.
The dean, who was maintaining the dimensional summoning technique by my side, warned me belatedly.
“El Cloud. Dimensional Summoning can only be maintained for about 10 minutes.”
“…why is it the same as last time?”
Persia asked coldly from the nape of my neck.
Thanks to that, the dean frowned, but… Actually, he chose a lot of words this time.
If it was a normal Persian, ‘Did the dean not make any progress?’ I would have added the same thing.
Fortunately, the dean was a fairly exemplary educator.
Even though he sometimes surprises Gongkang, he never pretends not to listen to a student’s question.
“I can’t replenish my magic within this place. It’s impossible to connect with the dimension of my energy storage role…”
“Aha!”
After giving up on summoning, Jakar tries to fight with classic magic.
He swung his short forelimbs once, and a roar and smoke filled the air.
A spell that is absurd to be squeezed out in one breath.
However, the level is not high enough to inflict damage on the Demon Lord.
The Westwall Marquess, who noticed this, warned with a sharp voice.
“It’s cheating!”
“I know. It’s obvious.”
Ethel responds lightly and steps forward.
It was suspicious that he had chosen a spell that caused a lot of smoke.
Looking back on the battle with the Demon Dragon, his choice is very clear.
“Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaah!”
Screams and flames squeeze through the thick smoke.
The Demon King’s twin swords are played fiercely and cheerfully.
There was a large hole in the cheeks of Jakar, who had fallen under the flow of water.
He was trying to use Breath when his condition was even a little better, but he was stopped by Ethel.
“Well, Steno-sister’s education wasn’t in vain. I was worried about Ethel because she was an idiot.”
“You can take your medicine later.”
“Master, aren’t you doing that this time? Breath, avoid it!”
“You’re really pissed off.”
He blushed slightly at Persia’s joke and followed the war situation.
Start supporting fire by requesting the summoned beasts recovered from Jakar earlier.
The original owners must have been very concerned, so it was difficult to erect it in the front.
I want to give it back as much as possible.
Persia patted the nape of her neck like an apology, drowning in my pint glass.
Trying to ignore the tickling sensation, the handmaiden tore the wide skin.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just like last time, a surprise attack aimed at the wings.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jakar tried to respond by spewing heat from his body, but Ethel stopped him in time.
“Sir Westwall! We’re ready to fire the Beltern train guns!”
“The Count. Give the order to retreat for a moment.”
The martyr, who had inherited the maidservant through me, gave an order to fire.
Soon, a bloody roar and magical reaction from the train cannon hidden under the roof of the train station.
The magic that moved hundreds of tons of iron was converted into attack power and fired.
A shell passed by the stone bastion where the wind was blowing like crazy.
Even after aiming for a long time, it feels like my whole body is about to rip.
Summoners like us are especially sensitive to magic.
A shell that was flying in the air burning the air along its path hit Jakar’s side, which had lost his mobility.
“Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!”
Aww!
The scream that escaped from the hole in Jakar’s cheek was swallowed by the roar of impact.
The 20-meter-long giant flew sideways leaving a deep furrow.
The side that was hit by the shell was completely retracted.
Even the hard scales couldn’t save him.
Indeed, the decisive battle weapon prepared by the Duke of Beltern.
If I can somehow hit it, the old dragon is over.
“Hey, I won!”
“Disarm Dimension Summoning. Perform Spell Interference.”
The dean who was next to him quickly removed the spell and moved on to sabotage.
Originally, it was difficult to intervene in Jakar’s formula because it was constructed so quickly…
There is nothing you can’t do if you are being attacked by the Demon King in a dying state like now.
“Now, wait. Wait! You have won! I will cooperate with the black dragon hunt, so contact your master…”
“huh.”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jakar is urgently begging for his life while hugging his side, which had spilled internal organs.
The Demon King snorted a little and cut off the man’s head.
He couldn’t cut it with a single sword because his name was a dragon, but he penetrated more than half of it with one sword.
It’s not even worth considering to harvest Jakar now.
“No! One last… one last!”
Aww!
Immediately after the sound of the bones being cut, the head of the ancient dragon fell to the ground.
The Demon Lord lightly picked it up and returned to the castle.
Although the trumpet of triumph sounded with her position.
In fact, the expressions of the other summoners were not so good.
The Demon Lord has appeared several times so far.
The last time she hunted the Demon Eye Dragon, she was the main force, so no one will be reluctant to do so now.
But link hijacking is different.
A skill that can uproot the system of the Dracor Kingdom that has developed based on summoning techniques.
It is natural to tremble with anxiety since I showed you this.
“What, it doesn’t look like everyone’s happy that we won?”
Persia trembled as Medusha, feeling the blasphemous atmosphere surrounding her, spat out in a ferocious voice.
I quickly dry him, but the Westwall Marquee closes the distance.
“You did a great job, Earl of El Cloud. Thanks to you, I was able to win.”
“What will you do with the retrieved summons?”
Dean asking, pointing to a bunch of links swirling above my head.
It’s a bit of a sensitive issue, but I thought it was better because I pointed it out so quickly.
I answered without any hesitation.
“It must be returned to the original summoners.”
“Master. Are they okay? You didn’t even contact us in advance.”
“It seems that most lives have been saved because of Jakar’s haste. The reason I haven’t been contacted is because of his sabotage spell.”
The watchdog commander who explains and receives the post-mortem report from the side.
While Persia sighed in relief, the dean finally revealed his true intentions.
“Just to give it back? It’s okay to accept a key money. If you don’t have a place to use it, donate it to the academy…”
“The dean seems like a very consistent person.”
whoever it is, wherever it is. As he admired his unshakable posture, the Westwall Marquess closed his eyes tightly.
“Lectos. Are you still like that these days?”
“Uh. A donation from a certain family in the West is not worth it.”
The second year is already coming to an end, and it’s the first time I’ve heard the dean’s name.
It seems that the two were closer than they looked.
but. Now I see you are the same age.
Maybe we went to school together.
The dean added an excuse belatedly, as if it was unfair to be treated like a bad guy for nothing.
“The academy is the future of the kingdom. Where am I going to spend it on something like embezzlement at this age? All the money you pay comes back as new technology and research results.”
“There are a lot of research projects like hobbies, right? A thesis on the snacks preferred by pets.”
“Ah… Did you read the report? You’ve always been sincere.”
Eolin, who is believed to be the author of the thesis, hides behind me with a puzzled expression.
The dean, who was staring at him, decided to go out with a blatant look.
“That’s what makes these train guns together.”
“Cat treats? Don’t teach Michael any weird things. The same goes for me and my grandchildren.”
Byung-baek, who stuttered unresponsively, cut off the note on the spot.
I pretended not to see it and summoned the minions I stole from Jakar.
The guys, who were trembling in fear that they might not be able to return, returned to the bosom of the summoners who rushed to them.
Medusha, offended by the gazes of other summoners, asked if it would be okay to get some money…
I am a body that will sooner or later revolt.
And at that time, the support of these summoners will come in handy.
“Gee, thank you, Earl of El Cloud! I’m small, but even this…”
“It’s okay. I’ll just take my heart.”
Among them, there were not a few summoners who had prepared a reward at all, but…
Taking it here is counterproductive.
It’s been a while since the battle, but the summoners keep pouring in.
As time passed, Link’s vortex subsided, and the gaze of those around him changed markedly.
Byeong-baek, who had stayed until late into the night in the name of post-war treatment, distributed the loot to me and bid farewell to me.
The part I was given was the most precious dragon heart, just like last time.
Unlike Medusha, who smiles slightly while looking at her heart like a red jewel, Ethel looks a little sad.
“You already have a heart? I’d rather have bones or scales…”
“Recently, only two old dragons have been caught, so the price of bones and scales has dropped a lot. This time, there is money I made with the old dragon theme wine, so I buy it with that.”
“What else is the dragon theme week?”
The waitress brings you a light dinner and speaks.
Did you just do the stock?
He is also a reliable housekeeper.
Finally, after completing the task of returning the summons, we were able to return to the capital late at night.
We went straight to the academy through the gate that was opened only for us.
Although the powerful element of anxiety was eliminated, it was rather bland.
‘Now, if you just kill the Black Dragon, you will get Essha and the throne…’
My heart beats anxiously so that the determination I had made over and over until now was overshadowed.
While I was thinking that my throat was suddenly burning, the book on the waist vibrated.
“Huh? Oh, you didn’t bring Letty out.”
“Piyoot!”
As soon as he re-summons the guy he had gathered in a book, he jumps right into his pocket.
Lightly insert a straw and enjoy the familiar taste, which makes your heart feel a little more comfortable.
Then, stroking the Persian on the knee to fully recover.
Thank you to the guy who rubs his body quickly.
But Medusha on the other side snorted as if she didn’t like it at all.
“It’s originally my place… it’s like a thief fox.”
“… Since when?”
“Shut up, Louise.”
Laughing at the audacity he had learned from Steno, the carriage stopped before long.
I greeted Elfriede and Elena, who were coming out to meet them, and dragged my exhausted body and mind into the room.
