Just as Aslan was visiting the stadium with Ophelia, Allen was also with Nairobi.
“A losing party. It seems that juniors don’t expect much from you, do they?”
“Allen, your chewing gum is still there.”
“Who’s the chewing gum!”
Nairobi, who came from Meyer’s family, the Minimi family, was an avid follower of Allen.
Because of this, she often quarreled whenever she saw Aslan, who had beaten Allen and was in first place.
“Nairobi.”
At Allen’s restraint, Nairobi backed away and muttered out of his sight.
“Any… … .”
There was no way Allen didn’t know that, but since it wasn’t even a day or two, everyone just assumed that was the case and moved on.
“It’s been two months since we promised, but have you accomplished everything you wanted to do?”
“of course.”
“Then I can take it down without hesitation.”
“You never said you would lose?”
They were exchanging words as if nothing had happened, but the tension between the two was unusual.
silence.
Not only the sound, but even the aura didn’t move. Silence ensued.
Aura is the power that can be moved only by human will.
Therefore, even if you are still, you are affected by emotions or unconsciousness.
The fact that such an aura had no movement meant that the two people’s control power was so perfect that it was not revealed even in the midst of confrontation.
“hmm! I checked the arena, and I checked the opponent. Then, shall we go back and sleep until the time is right?”
“Looks like I’ve seen everything I can see.”
“Eh? Oh Allen! let’s go together!”
The two, who looked like they were going to run past each other, stopped abruptly before going down the arena.
“Nairobi, bow down.”
“Shut up, Ophelia.”
Hwaaak!
Dozens of meters of swords woven as thin as threads and dozens of intangible swords as small and transparent as pieces of glass were fired at the audience at the same time.
As sword energy flew into the empty audience, someone who was hiding surprisingly ran away from the attack.
“Allen-sama, that’s… … !”
“Somehow, it seems that strange guys have mixed in while the guests are entering.”
Such a stealth that even 15th place Ophelia and 14th place Nairobi could not detect it.
There was a talented person hiding in the stadium who could easily fool the eyes of the faculty.
“… … I’m sure he blocked all sides with an intangible sword, but he was hiding in the shadows. That is not the realm of swordsmanship.”
“Yeah, it’s like… … .”
The move that avoided Aslan and Allen’s attack was something both of them had seen before.
“Is it the magic beast’s ability?”
1 hour before the start of the game.
An unprecedented situation occurred that might even have to consider stopping the game.
* * *
“what? To come back already, did you even meet Regina?”
“no. If I had met the ‘Queen’, I wouldn’t have come back alive. Space-Time Insulation is one of the absolutes among the swords.”
“Is there anyone here besides Regina who can see through that bastard’s hiding place?”
Somewhere within the Nightray.
Nightray, which boasted vast grounds, had many places that people could not reach.
At one of these places the intruders were having a meeting.
“Among us, you’re the one who can walk around avoiding people’s eyes, Shadow Fencer. But what if you get caught?”
“Noisy wild boar. This is not my fault, it was a lack of information.”
The man who was called the Shadow Fencer, the name of a demonic beast that could roam in the shadows, grumbled as he changed his black-and-teared clothes.
“I am a student.”
“what?”
“It was Aslan, number one, and Allen Meyer, number two, who noticed my hiding.”
“what. Was the skill of the guys called Target that good? Wasn’t this a more dangerous mission than you thought?”
The girl who had been listening quietly until now interrupted the conversation between the Shadow Fencer and the boar.
“why? I don’t know Mayer, but if a guy named Aslan is that talented, isn’t it good for us too? It is said that it is an orphan. If you get them on our side, you’ll be way better than an idiot like Benjamin.”
“Don’t make me say it too many times, Arachne. Benjamin was the one who was brought in because he helped move the Narvaez family. Otherwise, there would be no reason to bring in such an idiot.”
“Well, in that situation, he wasn’t the head priest of Ribéry or the priestess, he was just a guy who was beaten by students. Then how about a guy named Noah who defeated Benjamin?”
Shadow Fencer dismissed Arachne’s words.
“According to his profile, Noah is not the kind of guy who would cooperate with us. Besides, she told me not to touch it because Tara had it on her mind.”
“Hey, that venomous snake?”
“Besides that, how much of the spider web work is left?”
“Soon it will be over. Once this is complete, even if Regina moves herself, she won’t be able to catch us.”
Even if it was space-time insulation that cut through space itself, it was not invincible.
Even with that much power, he is Lee In-ja in the end.
Even with that fraudulent ability, there was a gap in the end.
“Eliminate strong Master Knight candidates before they sprout.”
Depending on the success or failure of this plan, the future world will change greatly.
“Everything according to the will of the Seer.”
* * *
After receiving information about the intruder from Allen and Aslan, Regina immediately dispatched Kuina to Noah.
“Now, wait a minute. So, shouldn’t we stop the game right now?”
“Currently, there are many civilians in Nightray. If we move hastily, there could be a huge loss of life.”
Yuna, who was by her side, was taken aback by her words, but Kuina shook her head.
So far, it has only been confirmed that there are intruders, but we do not know their purpose, number of people, or anything.
Origin stone itself was originally coveted even in other countries.
Therefore, it was not special to send people on this occasion when the Hall of Stars was open to the general public.
“For now, it is best for us to avoid using force. The principal is trying to resolve the situation without provoking them.”
“Then isn’t it even more important to have a skilled dark knight like Kuina-san? I don’t think you’re in a position to stick with me.”
“That can’t be helped. The ones who came in this time might have something to do with the one called the Precursor.”
“planet… … !”
“What is a pioneer?”
Noah looked at Kuina at Yuna’s bewildered question.
She nodded at Noah’s gaze.
“As long as he’s entangled with you, he should be aware of the situation as well.”
There is a person called a pioneer behind the Crescent Islands incident.
Revealed to the world for the first time through Benjamin’s words, he was an unidentified person with the ability to transform humans into magical beasts and the power to plant people in the backbone of the 8th family.
No gender, no age, no purpose, no ideology.
Nothing was known about the person called the Forerunner.
However, from the name of the pioneer, it was all that could be guessed that it would be a person like a religious leader.
“oh my god. Did something like that happen?”
“Since the person named Tara escaped alive, there is a high possibility that you are also getting their attention in some way. So, the school principal sent me to you just in case.”
It was much more efficient for Regina to look over the school herself, leaving Noah to someone else.
In any case, as long as Regina was present, there would be no shortage of power no matter who appeared.
The difference was whether or not the culprit could be caught.
“So don’t gossip about other people. The Immovable Fifteen are helping to find the culprit, but you haven’t finished absorbing the elixir yet, have you?”
“I did absorb it quite a bit, though.”
“It’s not enough to absorb quite a bit.”
The absorption rate of the elixir is proportional to the amount of aura you have.
That is, the faster you go, the faster you go.
At first, the absorption process was sluggish due to the loss of the original aura due to the runaway, but recently it has accelerated considerably.
If the absorbed amount exceeds half, then the rest can be digested in an instant.
In other words, even at the end of absorption, it meant that in reality, not even half of the elixir had been digested.
“If you wear an aura that is bigger than the total amount of aura you have inside your body, and you get sprained, the aura will explode.”
A runaway aura is, so to speak, like igniting a fuel tank in a car.
A fire once lit cannot be extinguished.
This meant that no matter how you prevented the car from exploding, you would have to watch the fuel burn out.
“The reason you were able to stop the runaway was because the elixir you took right before had a larger aura than your original one, and there were special conditions such as the elemental form unfolding in the Crescent Islands. Even that twice, your body can’t stand it. you know?”
“Of course I know.”
It was like removing the top of the fuel tank that was on fire and lowering the temperature by injecting a huge amount of water.
If it wasn’t for the Crescent Islands, Master Knight couldn’t save him.
Noah was on the verge of dying if he stayed still, so he was a judge and a judge, not a hammock again.
As such, even the aura that had been absorbed was in a state where he couldn’t use it all, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t do anything.
‘It’s possible if it’s an intangible sword.’
Noah’s intangible sword uses an external aura rather than his own aura.
Of course, he had to add a little bit of his own aura to act as a catalyst due to his lack of skill right now, but just like a drop of ink staining the water in a cup, a little was enough.
Ugh!
And the time to unleash that ability came quickly.
“Noah! Yunia!”
At the same time as the dark moon cried, the world was dyed black.
It looked like a black-and-white photo, with only the light and shade remaining, although the surrounding objects still existed.
The figures of the people nearby also disappeared, leaving only them and their party.
It was a phenomenon that happened without any warning, but instead of panicking, Kuina moved her body first.
Pick up the two and run.
As a knight belonging to the intelligence service, it was not a problem that the weight of two people was added to her.
I didn’t know it well, but if it was an attack, there was no need to fight on the board the opponent wanted.
However, no matter how much I moved, the black and white space continued endlessly.
In the end, Kuina put the two down and drew her sword.
“I think this is a big deal.”
From noble mtl dot com.
A phenomenon that cannot be detected by the sixth sense.
In the worst case, there was a possibility of being subjected to some kind of mental examination.
But Noah had a different opinion.
“In the realm of swordsmanship and martial arts, there was one thing that I couldn’t understand recently.”
“Is it a magical flower… … .”
“Benjamin didn’t use any magic beast abilities, but it could have been because the fishman abilities he manifested were the ones that deal with water. There’s nothing strange about them using magical powers.”
Even as he said that, Noah quickly found clues to the present phenomenon in his head.
‘Is it a type of ability that confuses the senses or expands a special area?’
Noah didn’t know all the monsters, but he had experience with at least half of the known monsters.
Even knights specializing in magic beasts usually only encountered magic beasts of the special level or higher that required knights.
In that sense, there were few people who were as sharp as Noah.
“But I’ve never seen anything like this… … no way?”
“Did you find out anything?”
“The witches do not cooperate with each other. If the habitat is different, there is nothing to meet at all. But what about humans?”
A combination of two or more abilities.
Understanding the meaning of those words, Kuina wrinkled her expression.
“Shadow fencer and single spider. They are a group of at least two.”
