Episode 85
― Beep!
It was time to get out of the mystery.
Sijo, hidden in an invisible place, came out.
Sijo fluttered and landed on the back of my hand.
[Were you safe?]
― Beep… … .
The guy rubbed his cheek against Samuel, who had turned into a thorn, as if he had been watching the whole series of situations.
It was a short time, but it seemed like a bond was formed.
“Let’s go.”
After such a brief greeting, the cadets and I used a secret passage to get out of the unexplored region.
I had a hard time even walking on my own, so I had to be supported by a pron.
The lesser of us, Fron, volunteered to help me.
Even so, Fron must have been quite tired.
Feeling grateful to her, I asked a question.
“Aren’t you heavy?”
“It’s okay, since this much is like eating porridge for the original girl.”
“I’m glad.”
Fron, as usual, spits out words laden with bravado.
In response, I pointed in one direction with a small smile on my lips.
“Let’s go over there.”
We go to Besaha’s lab.
As I explained to the cadets earlier, there was only one place that could protect us now.
Ironically, the place where biological experiments were conducted on countless demons was the safest place.
“We have to go there from this side.”
“The road is very complicated.”
Fron, who was following my guidance, muttered incredulously.
“Still, we’re almost there, so please be patient and speed up.”
After cheering up the exhausted Pron and the cadets, I looked around.
‘… … Fortunately, the people from the Imperial Academy haven’t shown up yet.’
The human cadets tore the return scroll and headed for the Imperial Academy.
Several dozen minutes had passed, but no human instructors had yet appeared here.
Maybe he thought it was a bucket.
The intelligence about raiding the 3rd year dormitory was still a lie, so we couldn’t be sure.
But that’s only for a moment.
It was clear that it would appear in front of us before long, so we needed to hurry.
Did you walk like that for ten minutes?
“stop.”
At some point I stopped the cadets.
Arriving at Besaha’s laboratory.
The laboratory was in the exact opposite position of the Imperial Academy, so it was possible not to encounter humans.
However, the cadets looked puzzled as to whether this place looked no different from other places.
[Is this really a safe place? It doesn’t seem to be any different from other regions.]
Samuel’s question.
It was a valid question.
Besaha’s laboratory was once again equipped with magical devices.
“Let’s go to that tree for now.”
I didn’t answer and moved toward a tree with the support of the pron.
and.
Pak-.
They nailed Samuel to a tree.
Then, a voice filled with absurdity was heard.
[Suddenly, what is this?]
“This tree is no ordinary tree. You have to activate the device with Samuel’s power.”
[…] … wait a moment.]
Samuel was silent for a while, as if searching for something.
After a while, Samuel’s voice was heard.
[As you said, a certain device is installed, but I cannot activate the device with my own power.]
“Why?”
[I figured out how it was designed. However, I can’t use mana because my body hasn’t recovered yet. I think I need another day to spend mana… … It would be better to leave it to that frivolous woman than me.]
If you’re a frivolous woman… … .
My gaze naturally turned to the front supporting me.
Fron frowned at this.
“To be frivolous to the original girl… … !”
[I didn’t say it was you directly.]
“So you didn’t mean to me?”
[Do you think no?]
“… … !”
Just before an argument between the two broke out.
I mediated with Samuel and Fron.
“Everyone calm down. You can fight in a safe place for now.”
“… … .”
Fron still looked disapproving, but soon raised his hand up the tree as if he believed my words were valid.
Then he looked at Samuel, who had transformed into a thorn, and asked.
“What can I do now?”
[Inject mana slowly, figure out how it is designed.]
“… … It’s not that easy.”
[Tsk tsk, let me tell you in detail. If you continue to inject mana into this tree, at some point the circuit will follow the pattern of the waterwheel… … … .]
Samuel’s explanation that started like that.
I listened to it in silence, and as the story progressed, I couldn’t help but admire it spontaneously.
During this short period of time, Samuel perfectly grasped Besaha’s magic device.
It’s hard to even describe it simply as a talent.
Besides, what I felt was even more amazing.
‘How can you explain it so easily that even me, a stranger to magic, can understand… … .’
Samuel’s explanation was concise and precise.
Enough to understand even a child who is not even 10 years old.
“You know how.”
As proof, Fron also understood Samuel’s explanation at once and started operating Besaha’s device.
And by the time the number of minutes had passed.
coo goo goo-.
With a roar, a large tree appeared.
The surrounding landscape also changed.
Dozens of trees were cut down and broken as if to prove how fierce the battle between Besaha and I was.
When I turned my gaze, the dead body of Besaha, who had become a cold corpse, also came into view.
Samuel, who came out of the scene and was able to look at it in synchronization, opened his mouth.
[…] … You really killed the human instructor by yourself.]
“It was a difficult opponent, but still more doable than that monster.”
[Who is calling whom a monster? … .]
Samuel clicks his tongue as if he is full of energy.
I gestured toward the admiring cadets, ignoring them cleanly.
“Come on, let’s get inside.”
A door installed in a tree wide open.
The cadets entered Besaha’s lab through that door.
Well well.
Me and Fron waited outside for a while as we waited for Samuel to begin devouring Besaha’s corpse.
[This one is quite delicious.]
The human cadets had no taste.
Having said that, Samuel chewed and devoured Besaha without leaving any flesh.
It seemed that the more strong humans were eaten, the faster they recovered and the taste changed.
Samuel, who had finished his meal, spoke with satisfaction.
[I ate it all. But, shouldn’t you also take the evidence that you killed the human instructor?]
“If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry. Because I already have it.”
[I’m glad.]
I touched the imperial insignia in the form of an eagle on my chest.
I have to submit it to Saitan as evidence, but I wonder if I will have something to write about someday.
‘Imperial insignia can be said to have infinite uses.’
It could be disguised as a greeting from the human world.
Then you might be able to get closer to the secrets hidden by the six families.
… … In fact, it was not the only piece of evidence.
Ssuk-.
I looked down and looked at the Enzer flower badge on my chest.
This badge will have the ‘record function’ installed.
The attack on the Imperial Academy was only part of the midterm exam.
You will need data to evaluate it in detail.
Because we couldn’t take care of the supply and demand of the humans we killed one by one.
Then I took my eyes off the badge and spoke to Samuel and Fron.
“We are going in too.”
When all of Saitan’s cadets entered the laboratory with us last, the door naturally closed.
yes-.
And the shape of the tree shook and transformed into a small figure, and the surrounding landscape was completely changed.
An ordinary forest with no signs of a fight.
Besaha’s magic device was working.
* * *
Right after Terias returned to the Imperial Academy through the return scroll.
The auditorium of the Imperial Academy, the designated place to return, was in a state of chaos.
The instructors who were guarding the 3rd grade dormitory like Cheol-seok had to constantly roll their heads to organize the current situation.
The opinions of the instructors who saw the cadets returning from injuries were divided.
Everyone had the same opinion that the demons should be pursued and defeated.
There was also an opinion that we should be careful because we have not yet accurately grasped the power of the demons.
As the spy, Kyle, said, there was no chance that other demons would invade the 3rd year dormitory besides them.
The attack of the demons quickly turned the imperial academy into chaos.
Seeing that, Terias touched his shoulder and gritted his teeth.
‘That half demon… … !’
I definitely got a win.
The pain that came when the snake that came out of his arms bit his shoulder.
Because of that, Terias had no choice but to return.
From nob le mt l dot comFrom nob le mt l dot com
No matter how much mana he injected, the poison in his shoulder could not be suppressed.
The poison seeping into his shoulder consumed mana and became thicker.
The more I tried to suppress it, the worse the wound got.
It must have been a strange move.
As Terias sat down with arrogance, a cadet who could handle divine power came and started treatment.
After treating all the injured cadets, he is now trying to heal the summoned Terrias.
In the meantime.
“What the hell happened?”
An instructor asked a question to Terias who was being treated.
Terias replied as he touched his shoulder, where the marks from the snake’s teeth were healing.
“… … During the invasion of the unexplored region, demons attacked, and several cadets were killed and injured. It is presumed that Instructor Besaha is also dead.”
Terias didn’t know exactly what had become of Besaha.
Because Besaha, who sent the cadets into the unexplored region first, never showed up.
but.
If he was alive, he would have come to save himself and his cadets.
He was convinced that Besaha had been killed by the demons.
“Is Besaha dead?”
“Nonsense… … .”
The instructors and human cadets made faces of disbelief.
It was true that the demons were a threat from the point of view of the cadets, but it was because they thought there was no stronger person than Besaha.
If Sylvia didn’t tell her to return with the return scroll, there were also students who tried to hold out until Besaha came.
Also, since the instructors knew Besaha’s magic skills, they couldn’t believe it all the more easily.
“Looks like the demons dispatched instructors and equivalent killers.”
“no.”
Terrias interrupted the instructor who was estimating the strength of the demon cadets.
“There are only two demons with instructor-level skills. One of them looked exceptional, but he was weaker than me.”
“then… … .”
“It is enough just to summon them.”
spurt.
Terias’ eyes shimmered with life.
A group of close friends and heirs of six families.
Terias intended to repel the demons with them.
but.
“Uh, uh… … I can’t cure… … .”
The cadet, who was suddenly pouring divine power into Terrias’ shoulder, opened his eyes wide and was bewildered.
A white aura gently wrapped around Terias’ shoulders.
The purple poison reacted against it and began to reject it.
soon after
“Quaaagh!”
Terias’s arm hardened like stone.
The poison, apparently in liquid form, suddenly hardened and became petrified.
Terrias groaned at the pain that engulfed him.
Took-.
Terias’s arm, completely turned to stone, fell to pieces.
““… … !!””
The eyes of everyone who saw the scene were engulfed in bewilderment.
Terrias’ blood vessels in his eyes all ruptured due to the more intense pain, causing them to bleed red.
“I will kill you… … !”
A half-demon who took his arm.
Terrias began to release his will to kill him with a cold chill.
