Chapter 65
bang!
The flame burned. It made a loud noise as if to prove that it was artificial.
The fire spread quickly. The fire on the mountain was so fast. Moreover, the place was the Forest of Delrin, which had an overwhelming mana content.
At that moment, Leffen Chaser, a practical magic professor who was teaching a class in a nearby annex, rushed over. Some students were already shooting streams of water, but it was too weak to extinguish the flames.
“Gyo, professor!”
“Get out of the way.”
Leffen drew the formula with a silver-decorated staff. Complex arithmetic formulas were instantly realized, and dozens of streams of water rushed in.
The students, whose only goal was to maintain a single stream, looked at Leffen with envious eyes.
“When did the fire start blooming?”
“Oh, five minutes ago. Suddenly, an explosion was heard and fire…”
Leffen narrowed his eyes. The fire was not easily extinguished. The amount of magic could be increased, but Delrin’s forest could not burn for no reason. He decided to save his magic power by pretending to be an unexpected enemy.
“What’s going on!”
Phenicia and the students came running from afar. Without any instructions, the students took out their wands and recited runes.
Phenicia also sprayed water in the same way as Leffen. Fortunately, the flames were extinguished as dozens of wizards concentrated their efforts.
“Phenicia. “Please take care of the matter.”
“yes. Are you planning to go to the site?”
Leffen nodded. Phenicia also nodded and checked the safety of the students.
Leffen watched this for a moment and then walked languidly into the forest.
Delrin’s trees, once full of life, were charred black, and embers that were not yet completely dead were faintly burning.
The tree branches that fell to the ground crumbled the moment you stepped on them. Leffen stopped and crouched down.
“It’s not just tan.”
There is no feeling of life at all. Now that I think about it, I can’t feel Delrin’s mana, which should normally feel powerful.
Leffen stood up and looked around. I said once I was sure no one was there.
“What are you planning? “Pride.”
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.”
A low laugh was heard.
The ash flew and created a whirlpool. Soon, a human shape appeared.
“It’s been a while, Leffen. “He never showed up for regular meetings, so I had no choice but to walk on my own.”
He whispered like a snake and stuck out his tongue.
His skin was extremely pale and his eyes were sunken. He was wearing a white shirt, a black cape, and a fedora, and he looked very aristocratic.
“I would have told you to avoid the academy.”
“Is there a reason for that? “There is no place where we Donatists cannot walk.”
“I must have said it several times. It’s still too early. Especially this forest of Delrin.”
Pride, Peter frowned deeply.
“…There is a being that should not be touched.”
“okay. I heard. “News that there is a kid who is comparable to our Donatus’ Seven Deadly Sins.”
Peter had an obvious sneer on his face.
“I’m here to prove that’s not the case.”
“…That pride will have a fatal effect on the Donatists.”
Peter nodded with an expression that made sense. He seemed to be thinking about something and was wandering around.
He took out a skull-shaped staff that was hidden under his cloak and swung it.
“Ugh.”
Leffen sat down in excruciating pain.
“You arrogant. Since when did the Executor of Donatus dare to speak loudly against the Seven Deadly Sins?”
Peter, who was looking down at Leffen, who had collapsed due to the powerful action of gravity, stopped the magic as if he were being generous.
“Huh, huh.”
It was only a short time, but Leffen, whose head was wet from cold sweat, barely managed to get his body back on track.
“Even if that kid is an archmage, he is no match for the Seven Deadly Sins. Especially against me, the proud Peter. You are now belittling the Seven Deadly Sins. “That is also disloyalty. How are you going to deal with this sin?”
“…I’m not talking about that kid.”
Leffen spoke in a trembling voice. I raised my head and glared intensely.
“It’s dangerous to mess with Windsor. “We must not create an opportunity for them to intervene.”
“hmm? That’s strange. Isn’t it 1246 now? “Windsor’s notoriety is still valid 200 years ago.”
Peter spoke as if it were insignificant.
“Should we be afraid of Windsor, who has become weak and worn down by peace?”
“I may have become weak. However, it is certain that it is the most powerful family in the entire empire. “Why do you want to take risks that can be avoided?”
Peter touched his chin with an interested expression.
“There was that perspective too. However, he is still a cocky guy. Executor, it’s good to show the bishop’s loyalty, but do it in moderation. “Does it seem like I’m arbitrarily coming here?”
Leffen’s eyes trembled slightly.
“Surely, it is the bishop’s will to attack the academy?”
“Oh, come to think of it, Leffen. Since you are an executioner, you don’t have this book of prophecy. “It is written thus in the book of prophecy.”
Peter’s eyes were filled with madness. He whispered something to Leffen. Leffen’s hands trembled slightly as he listened to the story.
It was that moment.
Wedge!
I heard the sound of air being torn apart. A blue light passed through the gray trees and hit Peter directly.
Toukwaang—!
A tremendous roar shook the earth. Peter’s body flew into the distance.
What appeared in place of Peter, who was blown away, was a blonde knight wearing silver plate mail.
She was holding a two-handed sword in the sky, but then lowered her posture and placed the sword on her waist.
A blue flame flickered in his eyes. White smoke rose all over the body, perhaps as a sign of acceleration.
“You, you.”
Amelia said without even looking at Leffen.
“Please step aside. “I will deal with you from here on out.”
Leffen could not help but be taken aback.
‘Surely, you heard the story?’
But she was still just staring calmly at the direction where Peter had been thrown out.
Considering that this side wasn’t on guard, there was a high possibility that they didn’t hear it.
Leffen swallowed his embarrassment and lowered his voice.
“I’ll help too.”
“I have no talent for fighting and protecting someone.”
“No professor runs away leaving behind an academy student.”
“Then do whatever you want. However, I will not take responsibility for you.”
-dare…!
At the sound of a voice coming from afar, Amelia put her front paws vertically. A huge amount of mana was infused into the sword. Burning blue mana wrapped around the sword and flew high into the sky. Amelia raised her sword to the sky.
“Ha!”
With a sound of cheers, he drew his sword horizontally. The slash extended along an incredible trajectory. The slash that clearly started as a single line split into several branches.
‘If this happens, the Academy will be harmed…!’
Leffen’s commanding officer warned that this slash was dangerous. The mighty magic of Windsor will continue to spread without knowing its end.
“Luid!!”
Amelia shouted in a loud voice.
A magic circle embroidered the air as if waiting. The slash ignored the magic circle and went across, but the angle was wrong and it went towards a single point.
Kuuuung-!
A few seconds later, an explosion was heard. Leffen’s eyes widened. Breaking the sword energy path of a knight of this level?
Sword energy was one huge energy. Even if it breaks, it doesn’t break. That was just magically impossible.
Leffen couldn’t believe it even when he saw it with his own eyes.
“Sister, you’re so fast.”
Leffen looked back.
Ruid panted and placed his hand on the blackened tree. He looked like he was about to die.
However, the charred wood was weak in durability. Enough to not even support the weight of a small boy.
The tree crumbled and Ruid lost his balance and fell to the floor. There was a little soot on my face.
“Lu, Luid. Are you okay?”
“…huh.”
‘Luid Christopher. No way, it was like this.’
Leffen swallowed hard. I was well aware of the genius little wizard’s reputation, but seeing him truly use magic in person left me speechless.
It is said that you can know ten when you see one. Leffen was truly a great wizard, so he realized that Ruid’s skills were far off just by looking at a single piece of magic.
“You’re still alive, sister.”
“You’re a tough guy. Ruid, please. But, you know?”
Amelia said, holding the sword close to her left chest.
“Never get involved. What Ruid needs to do is-”
“Block the leaking attacks so that there is no damage. I said it five times, Sister Ame. “I’m not stupid like my sister.”
Ruid said dissatisfied. Amelia looked puzzled for a moment, but then became serious again.
“Can you tell me the location?”
Luid’s eyes turned blue like Amelia’s.
Soon the small mouth opened.
“13.45 degrees, 910 yards. “The tree to the right of Delrin’s lake.”
As soon as Ruid finished speaking, Amelia kicked the ground and moved in an instant.
“Go, go together.”
Ruid looked in vain at Amelia.
It was impossible to reverse Amelia’s slash even by using movement magic.
‘I’m going to die from exhaustion. How can I go again?’
There was no way I could have good physical strength if I was sleeping all the time. Coming this far was also a limitation. Ruid wanted to lie down and sleep in the dark.
He was resentful of Amelia for leaving him and running away. I thought I should definitely tell this to my older sister.
‘I have to go… If I leave that friend alone, there will be a lot of troublesome things… It would be better to get rid of him now…’ Should I
just close my eyes and use a movement magic?
But what if Justin, who is currently struggling with Skeleton Soldier No. 1008, gets hit by Amelia’s ignorant slash?
Major accident!
In the end, I had no choice but to run, and I hated it so much.
At that time, I made eye contact with Black Blade 2 Repen Chaser.
Although he was in darkness, he seemed like a savior…!
He quickly approached and tugged on the hem of Leffen’s clothes.
“Take me to my sister.”
