49. witch’s oath
Day 3 of the festival.
“……”
While everyone was enjoying the festival, Sen wandered around the dormitory alone, looking for a singularity.
‘It’s strange.’
I didn’t normally know it, but when I heard that some strange guy had a plan, the air in the dormitory felt different.
Now that I realize it, I wonder why I hadn’t noticed this.
There was also training that was sensitive to the flow of mana in the Extermination Team, so if she didn’t notice it, the other students wouldn’t know.
‘Where the hell is it leading to?’
However, even if they continued to follow, it was difficult to pinpoint the exact location because it was so extensive.
Anyway, it’s right that it’s near the dormitory.
‘Are you a student?’
When I went up from the 3rd floor, which was the men’s floor, and headed to the 4th floor, I saw a girl walking down the hallway like me.
“……Rin?”
A childhood friend of Daniel and Ares, a girl who is popular with people and is also highly regarded for her magical talents.
There wasn’t really a point of contact, so I tried to just ignore it and pass it by, but I got the feeling that she was looking for something like herself.
‘It’s worth the bottom line.’
Sen approached Rin and asked casually.
“What are you looking for?”
“yes? No, it’s a bit strange.”
Seeing Rin looking around with an ambiguous expression, Sen was convinced to himself. This woman, like herself, realized that the flow of mana had become strange and was looking for the culprit!
‘That’s great.’
It was only after Daniel told her that even herself would notice, but this woman alone discovered this strange twist.
Even though he felt a strange sense of defeat, Sen reached out his hand first.
“Isn’t strange mana flowing in the dormitory?”
“uh? right. Did you know?”
“I was also looking for what the problem was now.”
Then, thinking that he had a friend, Rin smiled and pointed to a door at Sen.
“It seems that the room is the problem, but there is no owner right now.”
‘Have you already found out the culprit?’
To be honest, this was a little surprising, and when she checked where her finger was pointing, it was a room Sen knew.
‘Adrina?’
Adrina’s room, right next to Rin’s.
Sen, who approached slowly, felt a flow of mana that was a little denser than in other places, and took out a tool like a wire from his bosom and inserted it into the keyhole.
clap.
Looking at the door that opened in an instant, Rin put on a puzzled expression.
“Is it okay if I just go in like that?”
“it’s okay.”
Daniel, who even Javalanco took down in an instant, said he was in a dangerous situation. Then there was no time to be still like this.
“By the way, can I get a men’s room like this?”
“why? Where do you pick it up?”
“No, I think I got caught because I used magic the other day…”
Lin, who was coughing, instantly raised mana and cast a protective spell, and Sen hurriedly drew his dagger.
A barrage of magic bullets rained down on the two of them in the room.
The magic intended to kill the other person, but thanks to Rin’s reaction, no harm was done.
“……”
Seeing the end of the magic bullets, Sen’s suspicion deepened.
‘I was going to kill anyone who broke into my room. It’s clear that Adrina is up to something.’
“You said you had a device like this?”
Even Rin stuck out her tongue and cautiously entered the room, which made both of them frown.
A pungent odor that pierces your nose.
It was the smell that came out when drugs with magical effects were mixed, but this was too much.
All the windows were covered with wooden boards, and there was also an enchantment to kill intruders.
A room that makes you feel like walking through a minefield.
Many layers of magic were piled up to create a terrifying sight.
“……”
“What is this…”
In the end, I couldn’t go any further than that near the entrance, and Rin behind me was just staring blankly at the room.
“If you go in here, you will die.”
“Why did you put this much magic on your dorm room?”
Two people left the room.
Rin crossed her arms and began to think, but Sen hurriedly pulled out her dagger.
“come.”
“……!”
Lindo must have felt the mana as well, so she quickly got into a stance, and the two of them glared at the stairs leading up to the fourth floor.
thump thump thump
rough steps.
Of course, it was Adrina who recognized that the magic in her room had been used, and came up to the fourth floor with mana full of anger.
“Yeah, what are you guys doing!”
Unlike usual, Adrina shoots mana with harsh curse words.
Rin, a classmate, was embarrassed to see her for the first time, but Sen rather questioned her.
“What are you up to, Adrina?”
“What?”
“The whole academy could be in danger because of you.”
Then, Adriana’s eyes widened. A mixture of anger and resentment, she suddenly vomited out her anger.
“then! So you want me to just die? Don’t hurt you and just go and die alone? Don’t bullsh*t! I will live! You will survive!”
“It’s crazy.”
“Adrina, why are you doing this?”
Sen laughed and Rin panicked and tried to stop her, but Adriana was already out of control.
“I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die so unhumanly, having my whole body torn apart by those bugs! I will live! Don’t disturb me!”
“bug? It was you too.”
Recalling the insect he saw on the roof, Sen was now convinced of the culprit. I was going to defeat Adrina right away and go to Daniel and tell him that the request was completed.
Adriana’s condition was strange.
When Sen said she knew something about bugs, she stopped her seething rage and began to look around with a terrified look on her face.
“Bur, you saw… a bug?”
“Yes, on the roof at night.”
“That’s a lie…”
crunch
The sound of something crawling in the ears of Adrina, who was in denial.
Rin looked around, wanting something, and Sen grabbed a dagger and rushed at Adriana.
“Don’t fool around.”
I thought Adrina was going to do something by moving the bug, but on the contrary, Adrina cast a protective spell and looked around as if convulsing.
“Bur, was it a bug? Did you just hear a bug?”
“……”
Sen, whose dagger was blocked by protection magic, now realized that something was strange.
‘Why are you so frightened?’
I wondered if there was no reason to be trembling like that if Adrina was calling the ancient beast.
That moment.
Adrina’s eyes widened and she opened her mouth wide and began to tremble as she looked behind Rin and Sen.
Rin and Send naturally looked behind them.
There, a gigantic bug was clinging to the ceiling and watching the three of them.
“bug?”
“……”
Rin recognized that it was a magical beast and immediately tried to cast a spell, and Sen immediately looked at Adrina’s complexion.
That wasn’t the face he was calling.
On the contrary, he was terrified and wanted to escape somehow. Looks like she’s about to cry.
“Wow, here you come! The guys are here! Ares! Where is Ares!”
Adriana, who hurriedly turned and jumped through the window of the 4th floor hallway and tried to escape outside, but an insect climbed in through the window.
They didn’t show any signs of attacking or attacking, and they were just watching Adrina, but she was rather driven away mentally.
‘Something is going wrong.’
Adriana is not the culprit who summons the Witchbeast.
Sen, so convinced, tried to calm her down hastily, but it was too late.
“I-I…! I don’t want to die!”
Adriana is covered with tears and snot and raises all the mana she has.
In an instant, light erupted from her room, resonating with her mana, and the strange air currents in the dormitory began to help her.
“Dude, that’s great.”
A level of magic that even Rin, who has a knack for magic, saw it. Adrina did not simply trust and depend on Ares and entrust her life with her.
She was also preparing.
He searched and devised a way to kill the beasts that came to him, and eventually put it into practice.
A forbidden magic that the witches of the Black Forest decided not to use.
A magic circle began to resonate with her mana, which was poured out with the thought of destroying everything.
that came from there.
“No, that’s absurd.”
the body of the tall man.
antennae that rise above the head.
Emotionless eyes that are all black with no whites.
The appearance of hard muscles holding their place like armor.
The exhilarating sense of intimidation brought Sen and Rin to their knees at once, making it difficult to even breathe.
“Ahhh……”
Adriana, shedding tears, was already sitting on the floor, staring blankly at the being standing in front of her.
It’s him.
For the past four years, the Witchbeast that has been chasing me even in my dreams and tearing me to pieces.
The guy opened his heavy mouth.
“The king of worms, Abiel.”
Boiling bugs were gathering in the hallway.
Not only the giant worms that had followed Abbiel, but all nearby worms were crawling towards their king.
‘why? why? why!’
What Adrina used was a magic that instantly exploded her mana and gave her power dozens of times that of a wizard.
It wasn’t some kind of magic to summon such a monster!
Looking down at such a confused Adriana, Abiel numbly told her the answer.
“According to the Witches’ Oath, I have come to punish witches who dealt with taboos.”
Damn she just dug her own grave
