Episode 268
70. All-out war (2)
“Light, lead us in the way of life… … Deliver me from the rushing death.”
There was the sound of someone chanting a prayer.
A Canaanite temple located at the highest point on Paradise Island.
A few professors and students from the Ortana Faculty, including Ecclesia Bell, stood there and looked beyond the horizon with determination.
The dawn is coming
And at the same time, the historic moment that staked the existence of Paradise Island was approaching.
If you think about it, Nakwon School seems to have forgotten about the ‘enemy’ of the Liberation Front for a while.
The demon king’s remnant remained until now, and even occupied a part of the continent’s territory.
That was an undeniable fact. It is impossible to say that reality is not reality.
However, surprisingly, no one on the island of Paradise considered the Liberation Front as a ‘real’ threat.
300 years.
When Nakwon Island was first established, it was said that large and small battles took place.
This was the first time that the Liberation Front led all forces to invade Nakwon Island on a large scale.
From generation to generation, the people of Nakwon Island had become dull without realizing it.
What was Paradise School created for in the first place?
It was to nurture the warrior candidates. In fact, the students were also called warrior candidates.
So what is a warrior?
He spoke of the heroes who fight against evil and defeat them.
From the beginning, it was not a title that was worthy of being simply roaming the dungeon for four years.
Among those who graduated from Paradise School, how many people truly oppose the Liberation Front?
Together, they returned to their home countries and were busy occupying positions of power or showing off their strength to the people.
In the meantime, the Liberation Front has not been involved in anyone, and has been quietly building up its power.
‘It’s ignorant.’
Ecclesia Bell was deeply grieved. Because he never expected that something like this would happen.
But you cannot undo what has already happened.
As a forbidden library, and as one of the professors of the Ortana Faculty.
She was obliged to protect Paradise Island with her own life.
“We are developing an anti-demon movement system. ‘Akashic Records’ is in operation.”
“Akashic Records in action.”
According to Ecclesia’s instructions, the wizards gathered in the temple all released mana at once.
Soon, a magic circle that can cover the entire island of paradise unfolds in the sky.
On top of that, a huge cannon was formed as a beam of light.

Magical Spear Gustav.It was the most powerful type of interceptor provided by Akashic Records, a defense system to protect Paradise Island.
If you hit it properly, you can even sink the Leviathan, the flagship of the demons and famous for its iron armor.
Of course, that wasn’t all.
The magic circuit from the temple sprinted down the street.
Nakwon Island was a thoroughly planned ‘as a school’ city. At the same time, it was also a city that was planned as a fortress to protect the seal of the demon king.
The magic circuit surged and created a huge barrier. A high-density mana barrier that cannot be broken with any attack.
Not only was it very effective in stopping the landing, but it was also possible to make it possible to adjust the landing direction to the advantage of the friendly forces as much as possible even if the troops landed afterwards.
“They have arrived. Everyone, get your mind right.”
Beyond the sight of Professor Ecclesia, who shouted with determined eyes.
Dozens of fleets of small shimmering ships appeared.
* * *
“It means that the deployment of Akashic Records has been completed, and the fortification of each important base has been progressed to some extent.”
Baeksanwoo’s body was drenched with sweat.
There were not one or two places to be concerned about.
Even if the three dean’s were in charge of the command, it was solely his responsibility to spread the appropriate strategy to the personnel located in each defense line.
As a result, I wandered around Nakwon Island non-stop.
The best thing about it was that he couldn’t learn magic and couldn’t fly in the sky.
“If only Rona-senpai and Illyana were there at a time like this!”
Baek San-woo sighed.
Come to think of it, didn’t the Arin Faculty to which Illyana belonged was developing not far away?
As much as I have to look around five more places in the future.
It might be better to join her quickly now and get her magic help.
Aidan is currently busy leading his colleagues and elite student squads at the forefront, so there is no way he can pay attention to Baek San-woo.
“Okay then, let’s do it!”
Baek Sanwoo ran straight to the Central Terrier.
The Central Terrier was the most important of the three strongholds, and was the widest tactical point.
As it is located close to the center of the island, it is not only easy to deploy with troops, but also.
It was because it was the only way into the city where the magic barrier developed in Akashic Records was hardly applied.
Of course, it will not be easy for the attacker to break through the defense.
However, it is not an area where the defense side can be certain of victory.
As if to prove that statement, behind the barricade made of sandbags and all kinds of furniture, the students were waiting with anxious expressions.
No matter how much you decide to fight, it’s a different concept whether you can keep that will until the end.
Baek San-woo passed among the students who clinged to each other, encouraging each other, or wielding weapons with complicated expressions on their faces.
Then, a particularly striking blonde hair caught my eye.
“Princess Ishtar!”
“Sanwoo, you are here… … !!”
Although they had only seen each other until yesterday, the two were genuinely happy and willing to share a hug.
‘If Ishtar is here, Illiana will be here too.’
Except for Linell, who was with Aidan as planned, all of the Artels seemed to have been involved in the defense of the Central Terrier.
Because Baeksanwoo himself and the members of the Illuminati were going to defend this place anyway.
It won’t be a big deal if I take Illyana with me for a moment.
Baek San-woo slightly removed the body he was sharing a hug with and asked Ishtar.
“Can I take Illyana Noel with me for a while?”
“yes? Are you Ilya?”
However, the answer returned from Ishtar was not what Baek San-woo had expected.
“Illiana, wasn’t it with Sanwoo-sama?”
“What do you mean?”
“After the first 24-hour evacuation order was issued, Illyana gathered the Artels and went to look for Sanwoo… … ?”
“Yes?”
“Since you haven’t come back yet, I know that I will most likely be with Sanwoo-nim… … .”
not.
The last time I saw Iliana was yesterday in the Halls of Time and Space.
After I first heard the news that the Liberation Front had begun a large-scale invasion.
I have never encountered any Illuminati people.
“… … ?”
In an instant, an assumption that should never exist in Baek San-woo’s head flashed past.
“Please, wait a minute… … !! I’m sorry, Princess!!”
Baek San-woo rushed towards the place where the Arthur faculty had gathered.
Camilla, George and Byron.
Even the three members of the Illuminati are Arthur’s Faculty. If Illyana had gone missing, the three of them would have been the last to see it.
“Hey, Baeksanwoo!! It’s here!!”
It was about the time when I was getting more and more confused by the doubts and worries that were biting my tail.
Baek San-woo sighed in relief when he heard the voice calling him from the other side.
“where are you!?”
“It’s here!!”
Let’s follow that call.
A body large enough to fill the field of vision appeared. It was a Baeksan-woo who for a moment mistaken for Byron, but it didn’t take long for his face to turn white.
“I just found it. Still, Dean Irkan asked where Camila and Byron went?”
Barbarian Elka.
It wasn’t Byron, it was Elka.
“Hey, Baek Sanwoo? You look very bad… … ? Is there something going on?”
“Elka. Have you ever seen Byron, Camilla, and George?”
“Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about! Where the hell did you go? We have to organize the students of the limited express class as our main focus, but there is a vacancy for two people, so it’s a riot!!”
wobble.
Baek San-woo’s body shook. Had it not been for Elka’s momentary support, she would have collapsed on the floor.
“Baeksanwoo!? Why all of a sudden!”
But there is no room for such support. Baek Sanwoo clenched Elka’s hand and hurriedly ran to the south of Nakwon Island.
‘Lioner! Have you been in touch with Jorgan?’
【I’m looking for this one too. I’m not feeling well. It is said that the other 4 Star Spirits did not see Jorgan either.]
“X feet!!”
It was a swear word that came out of sincerity.
Camilla, Illyana, George, Byron.
Neither of you would have disappeared without a word in this critical situation.
will be missing
like rona.
Come to think of it, I couldn’t find So-young and Tae-hoon in the Arin Faculty.
If Ishtar had seen the two of them in the first place, he would have known the whereabouts of Illyana without difficulty.
“Siegfried!! This f*cking bastard!!”
It was then that all the puzzles seemed to fit together.
perhaps.
Perhaps the Liberation Front was also brought in by him.
No, I was almost certain.
All of this was done by The Elder, that bastard.
“I was distracted… … !!”
Blood gushed out from his tightly closed lips.
south of the island.
The Elder’s secret hideout there, and the place where the Demon King’s seal exists.
The gnome is taking his comrades hostage and summoning them.
For what the hell?
After all, isn’t Siegfried’s goal to protect the seal of the Demon King?
However, there was no reason to bring them to the Liberation Front and at the same time hold their colleagues hostage.
‘What am I missing? What the hell was Siegfried thinking?’
Baek San-woo’s head turned to and fro.
he is a player
He was a deceased person who played the game Paradise Academia, which is the essence of this world, countless times.
Up until now, I was puzzled by the unexpected development.
In the end, it did not deviate much from Baeksanwoo’s expectations.
At best, the corrupted Artel and Lorna-senpai, who became a transcendent of time and space, were all.
Of course, even that was purely because the two existences came from an additional content called Baeksanwoo DLC.
Practically speaking, the Baeksanwoo was moving within the conceivable range.
Corrupted Artel?
Former students locked up in the Hall of Time and Space?
In the end, didn’t you defeat it by using the knowledge you could get from this world, the game, and the bugs?
However, the present situation is markedly different.
Siegfried’s summoning of the Liberation Front was insane, twisting the frame of the main scenario altogether.
There is only one reason why the Liberation Front is attacking in the main story.
This is because the Elder, who was guarding the seal, was killed by Aidan.
But now The Elder is alive and well.
It was not a surprise attack, nor was it a state in which the power of Nakwon Island was rapidly weakened due to continuous incidents.
Is it because Elijah temporarily left Paradise Island due to the high priest’s case?
It’s not a funny story.
In the end, there must be a ‘separate’ reason for the liberation front to decide to invade.
【if… … What is the probability that The Elder colluded with the Liberation Front?]
“no.”
【Then there is no chance that false information was leaked. It means that the seal of Paradise Island is weakening.]
“that… … There may be a possibility.”
However, there was still one thing that couldn’t read The Elder’s intentions.
How is it best to act?
Is it right to go straight into the hideout?
Or is it right to disclose this situation to the deans even now and get help somehow?
“Shit!!”
What to do, while Baeksanwoo was at a loss.
Aww!!!
The interceptor Gustav, floating in the sky over Paradise Island, blew out fire.
It meant that the fleet of the Liberation Front approached the intercept range.
what to do What do we do?
The non-stop sound of shelling strikes Baek San-woo’s eardrums, and his head goes blank with a beeping tinnitus.
[Baeksanwoo… … !!]
When he was completely confused and was about to get frustrated.
Someone grabbed Baek San-woo by the shoulder.
The foul smell of perfume in the nose.
“… … kid!! From now on, listen carefully to what I have to say!”
“Hey, Madame Carjo… … ?”
“Go into the crystal cave on the southern island right now!! Do not delay even for a moment!!”
With a face smeared with makeup, Karjou exclaimed urgently.
“The crazy boss left the den. Are you looking for them now? This is your only chance!!”
