293 – Rachnil Subjugation (3)
[I will tell you the rules of the new game.]
Lachneel’s voice echoed through the space again.
[Your victory condition is to meet both. The first condition is to reach me and defeat me. I’m at the top of this sanctuary. It will be a tough journey, but it will definitely be fun!]
Many people lose their lives when Rachneel’s plan is fulfilled.
First of all, the first condition was the same as what I saw in ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞.
[The second condition is to achieve the special victory condition of the Academy Match. I promise I won’t touch any of you, except for the challenger who wants to fight me right away.]
Special victory rules for the Academy Competition.
It meant finding the key and opening the safe in the center of the stage.
Everyone would have known that.
‘It’s different from when I was in the game.’
There was no special victory rule in ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞. In the Iron Sanctuary, students risked their lives in a battle royale.
However, is it because the special victory rule was created due to the variable of the country? Putting that into the rules of your game.
For a fairy, the weight of a promise is as heavy as her own life. You can trust what that guy says.
‘Did the challenger target me?’
Rachneel seemed to be expecting me to come fight.
[The effects of items and traps are all the same. There is only one difference!]
Rachneel’s voice sank.
[Elimination means death.]
It was as easy as stepping on an insect for Lachneel to kill.
With the [Clairvoyant], he inspected the iron sanctuary in detail. The students were all scattered.
They trembled with fear, sat down, or were seized with terror.
[But if it’s just you guys, it’ll be a boring game that’s all about being proud, right?]
what?
[So, I decided to add a new participant!]
From noble mtl dot com
With a gurgling sound, iron magic flowed from the walls and the ground, condensed, and took shape as a knight in armor.
He blocked the passage leading to another space and pointed at me with a long weapon.
His red eyes shined brightly.
[ Iron Knight ]
Lv : 130
race: fairy
Attribute: Iron
Risk Level: Severe Injury
‘Lachneel’s minion… .’
In ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞, they are the guys who waited to take the life of the student who dropped out.
It was also an enemy to deal with when climbing the sanctuary towards Rachneel.
‘The higher you go, the stronger your fighting power is, right?’
In other words, he was not an opponent to face from the start.
‘We have an assortment of qualifying seats.’
On the shoulder of the Iron Knight, there was an accessory that imitated the seat of qualification.
In other words, there was no doubt that the same rules of the academy competition were applied to that minion as well.
The situation was not good.
[Let’s all survive well! Please play a good game!]
Rachneel’s voice died down, and a new academy competition began.
I quickly scanned the area with [Clairvoyance]. When the iron knights appeared, many students were trembling in fear.
‘Yeah, too many… .’
There were too many students to keep.
In addition, even where there were no students, a group of iron knights were forming. Those guys are probably even farming.
Apparently, due to the new game rules that didn’t appear in ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞, it seemed that Rachnil was trying to achieve a ‘academy students vs. iron servants’ composition.
With so many people to protect, even one more power was needed.
“Heild!”
Ice and Snow Dragon-Heeld, which was shining like a small firefly from inside the collar of his shirt, came out.
The guy transformed into a humanoid with short white hair, and I immediately took out my magic camouflage double-berserker and threw it at him.
It was intended simply to be worn, not for camouflage. So no mask was given.
clap.
The Iron Knight kicked off the ground and charged towards me.
Kwaaa!!
I lightly condensed ice magic in my hand and fired it at him.
5-star ice elemental magic [Freeze Explosion]. The Iron Knight was shattered.
The iron knight, which was not functioning properly, melted like mercury and then disappeared as it was absorbed by the wall.
[Wear quickly, Master.]
Hild tightening the robe. A long robe covered her nakedness.
It was humanoid, but the horns and tail were intact. A fight was possible.
In a space like this, you can’t grow your body height with the body shape. He seems to have understood my intentions well.
“receive!”
Ice magic gathered in my right hand, and the sound of chains rang out.
The ice magic was transformed into the form of a scythe flowing with cold air. It was a frost sickle.
I threw the frost sickle at Heald and he accepted the weapon with both hands.
[A frost scythe?]
“You write now.”
It’s just a guess, but Heald would be able to handle the frost scythe well.
In ＜Merhen’s Magical Knight＞, the exact name of the frost scythe was written as ‘Hilde’s Frost Scythe’.
“We have to move quickly!”
[Oh, master!]
As soon as I started running, Hild immediately followed.
“I do not have time. There are too many children to protect!”
As I ran in the direction of Ian, I looked at the students once again with [Clairvoyance].
In front of the Iron Knight, each student was terrified.
No matter how elite of prestigious academies, they are just teenagers who lack practical experience or just adults.
In a life-or-death crisis situation, most of the cases were when the strength in the legs was weakened and collapsed, clumsily attacked the enemy, or ran away.
had to save
There is no reason to save people. At least I had the strength to save them.
aaa!!
After putting [Ice Barrier] on the nearby students, he defeated the iron knights with extensive ice elemental magic.
It was difficult for me to help with the long distance. If it came into sight, somehow it would have been okay.
Alice was also saving the students by quickly defeating the iron knights, but it was not enough because there were too many students.
gritted it I had to do it somehow.
me somehow
Whoa!!
At that time, I caught something passing at great speed in the distance as seen with [Clairvoyance].
A blond-haired male student clad in the wind was churning the air at breakneck speed, breaking the iron knights.
What appears one after another is a ponytail-haired female student wielding rock magic and destroying the iron knights.
A pink-haired female student who protects students by wielding flame magic.
A diminutive female student who crushes enemies with powerful magic while hugging a pillow.
“Guys… .”
A section out of my reach.
The students of Marchen Academy were scattered, destroying the iron knights and saving the students.
“Relief… !”
Awesome!!
At that time, an iron knight jumped out of the wall made of iron magic and swung a sword at me in a surprise attack.
Reflexively, he ducked to avoid the sword attack.
[Cry, Hell Frostscythe.]
Saaak!!
Along with the strange technical name, a solid silver line was drawn on the iron knight’s body. Just like that, the iron knight was cut in half.
Heeld fixed the frost scythe wrapped in cold air and looked down at the iron knight he had cut with the scythe.
An iron knight that melts and disappears like mercury.
“… What is Fel Frostscythe?”
[This is a skill I’ve always wanted to try.]
It was a cool skill name, but it was nothing more than a strong swing of a frost scythe clad in cold air.
It was handled well.
* * *
“Ha ha ha! It looks hard on the outside, but everything is so soft!”
Tristan Humphrey, a vain blonde aristocrat, was bluffing and smashing the iron knights at breakneck speed to save the students.
A series of fists and kicks imbued with thick wind power.
Even more so, with high acceleration, the power of his attacks had already far surpassed that of a student.
“Gazuaaa!!”
Caang!
Lisetta Lionheart ran through the iron sanctuary.
The iron knights were shattered by a series of rock magic attacks while wielding the magic weapon Lokta.
Enemies that could be ruthlessly defeated only made Lisetta’s sense of friendship boil.
“Ciel!”
“It’s annoying… .”
Kerid and White Clark defended the students while wielding fire elemental magic.
Ciel Carnedas covered his mouth and yawned while constantly casting elemental magic and sweeping away the iron knights.
“Go, thank you… !”
“Thank you!”
The saved students expressed their gratitude, and Keridna evacuated them to the Marchen Academy base.
Other Märchen Academy students also slashed enemies in areas Isaac could not help, and evacuated the students to the Märchen Academy base according to Keridna’s instructions.
difference in practical experience.
The Merhen Academy students, who had already accumulated many life-and-death combat experiences, were able to overcome their fear and move and fight their enemies.
He even had the skills to match him.
“Student President, what are you thinking now?”
“What? You felt the magic before. Being at the top is not something we can do anything about.”
While crossing the sanctuary, Keridna answered earnestly when Ciel asked.
“We should do what we can.”
“okay… . You are looking for the key.”
Keridna intended to protect the students who participated in the academy competition and achieve a special victory rule.
“If you know, help me properly.”
“I think so. Because I want to go back to sleep soon… .”
