chapter 55
55 – Emergency Call
I swung my staff. Without hesitation, my staff flew through the air toward the warlock’s head.
As the bones of the foot and foot touched by the cane were crushed, the remains were scattered to such an extent that it was difficult to find a trace. In addition, the strong divine power purged the demon at the same time as killing the owner of the body.
Those who got in my way didn’t survive. I spared no effort in dealing with the warlocks.
They quickly swelled like germs. It seemed that foreign powers as well as students intervened directly. Many of them have already invaded the academy.
Hmm….
I knew that there was a black magician in the academy. No, no matter which group you go to, there will always be black magicians and traitors.
I couldn’t understand why he was doing this now. It was just after the festival had ended, and it was a time when the atmosphere was a bit relaxed, but there was no reason for them to go wild.
As I recalled the reason why the black magicians started attacking the academy, I moved in a direction where I could feel the demon’s energy strongly.
It was far from the buildings and dormitories of Visilia. It was a place where evaluation matches were mainly held. The evil energy grew as time passed. At the same time, I felt the divine power fading.
Iares was lying there. The surroundings were too dark, so when I used the divine light, a red spear flew.
After breaking the spear with the cane, I looked at the enemy. It was Kromer in half demonic form.
“Kromer. What is this?”
“Oh, sorry. My name is Deian. Call me that next time.”
… Deian?
After becoming the Heretic Questioner, he was the first person I looked for. He was the main character in the strongest black magician.
His whereabouts, unlike the novel, were vague and could not be found. He tried several times to find him, but each time he was unsuccessful.
I thought the future was changed simply because I was summoned to this world…. After all, he was with me.
“You must be Deian….”
“Huh? I know? I am grateful that the demon hunter recognizes me.”
Blood dripped from his arm, which had not turned into a demon. It looked like a wound from fighting Iares.
On the other hand, this Ares’ condition was not good, and since he had neither armor nor weapons, he seemed to have been attacked while sleeping.
There is only one thing I have to do. To kill the warlock Deian and heal the hero.
Carelessness is prohibited.
Deian was a black magician who fatally wounded Iares, even if it was a surprise attack.
Booooong.
I closed the distance and swung the cane first. Deian used his own blood to make a spear. The spear he made failed to block my staff and shattered.
“It’s scary. But looking at it all the time, it seems that I can only wield a cane…. That’s right?”
“Yes, I will show you.”
“You can’t catch me with such a simple method,”
I stepped forward again and swung my staff wide. Deian stepped back and opened up the distance.
I let go of the wand before it drew a full half circle.
The cane flew towards Deian, who opened the distance behind him.
Puuu!
“Wow!”
Dian responded well. He couldn’t dodge the staff I threw, but he spread his devilish arms like wings to block them.
The staff pierced his black wings and landed on his chest, but did no great damage.
My attack didn’t end with my staff.
The moment I threw the cane, I also ran towards him.
The guy who was hit by the cane and rolled over rolled his body back and stood up. The moment he got up, my fist aimed at Deian’s chin.
Puuu!
Dian’s jaw was firm. Unfortunately, his jaw was not broken. His head twisted and his body turned with it.
Without stopping, I lunged at him and used his knee to strike him in the chest area.
I stabbed him in the pit of the stomach with my knee. Black blood gushed out of Deian’s mouth.
I turned my body clockwise and pushed him off with my feet.
Deian’s tenacity after becoming a demon was good. He blocked my attack with both arms and was pushed back.
“A lot of anger….”
You didn’t have to listen to the devil. I pushed Deian without a break.
Closed the distance with Deian, who was pushed back, and punched him. He blocked my attack with a demonic arm rising from behind. The face was distorted as if there had been damage.
I immediately hit the devil’s arm with my elbow. Deian stumbled and stumbled.
Deian hurriedly stepped back and stretched out his arm behind him. His arms soon became bat-like black wings.
“I’m not feeling well today…. See you soon, Gran.”
He flapped his wings and flew high in the sky. I jumped high and tried to catch his leg, but I couldn’t catch him by a narrow margin.
I picked up a rock from the floor and threw it at him.
Quaaang!
The stone flew towards Deian with a popping sound. The stone pierced his black wings. But I couldn’t drop him.
As I was about to pick up the second stone, I heard something explode near the dormitory.
I wanted to go after him, but I couldn’t catch him right now. Iarez’s condition did not look good, and the safety of the students in the dorms came first.
First of all, the hero’s treatment came first.
He was a paladin and he thought he would heal himself. However, his condition was not good.
Blue veins bulged around his wounds, and black blood leaked from the open wounds.
The condition of the wound was not good, but it was because of Deian’s black magic.
Iares looked at me with a pale face and smiled. His eye muscles trembled in great pain.
“This is the first time I’ve been attacked by a warlock while sleeping. However…. Jeong-hwa won’t eat at all.”
Because his body was under strong black magic, purification could not heal his wounds.
I used the 5th tier divine spell Dispel Magic. Hoping to dispel magic, I breathed divine power into his body.
Fortunately, black magic has been removed. The following three-level purification was used. Finally, high-level divine spells were needed to repair serious wounds.
“It will hurt a little.”
“Why don’t you give me a buff? I hate being sick.”
“The pain is bearable. It would be better to save even a little bit of divine power.”
I said looking in the direction of the dormitory.
“Chit…. They suddenly started working.”
“Looking at Kromer’s admission to the academy, it seems like a planned move.”
“I never thought I would be attacked the day I left….”
Iares opened his eyes as if he had noticed something as he spoke.
I also got a feeling why the warlocks moved.
“Looks like you tried to stop the hero.”
“The thing that stopped me…. Let’s see what happened outside. Then…. Very successful.”
“Your condition is not good. Even if you use high-level spells, you will have to continuously recover for a while.”
“Sorry, but I think so too. My legs are numb now.”
I used the 6th tier divine spell, Divine Heal. An intense light formed around my hand.
“Ughhh.”
He kept his mouth shut, but he couldn’t stop the groans that leaked out instinctively.
“As expected, you were a priest. I always thought of you as a paladin.”
“You are resting here. I will quickly return to the dorm.”
“Okay, don’t worry about me, just go.”
I used 6th level divine healing, but the hero’s condition was still not good. Fortunately, his life was preserved during the misfortune, but his body lost its function.
Recovery wasn’t impossible, but it took time.
I left him and went to the dorm.
The dormitory was on fire, and the students and teachers worked together to fight the black magicians hiding in Visilia.
I dealt with the warlocks one by one.
“That, Gran!”
It was Echina in her pajamas. Dark red blood dripped from the sword he was holding.
“Are you okay?”
“Ah, yes. Rather, the president is looking for you.”
“Hmm…. What does the president say?”
“Yeah, you didn’t look good…. I don’t think it’s because of the warlocks.”
“Okay. Do you know where the president is now?”
Eki I nodded her head. She moved ahead.
I followed Echina and dealt with the warlocks in her sight.
The place where Ekina headed was where her classmates were gathered.
The chancellor stood with a nervous face, and Viteo looked shocked, as if he had been sentenced to death.
“I heard you were looking for me.”
“Welcome…. I have something to tell you.”
The president looked more hesitant than ever. She bit her lip and she came over to me. She then spoke in a quiet voice so that the others could not hear.
“Thermeo passed away.”
The pope is dead.
He was like a parent to me in this world.
This is shocking news that gives you goosebumps all over your body.
For a moment, I thought that it was not real.
But don’t lose your composure.
Fiery emotions are uncontrollable, but if you have a ruthless reason, you can put them off.
“I see. Any other news?”
“Ah…. Yes. Viteo. Viteo!”
When the president shouted, Viteo finally came to his senses with an ah sound.
“Sorry. Yes, Gran…. No, Ambassador. An emergency call has been issued to Pierre’s Temple. I guess….”
“Okay. Then we will start with the temple first.”
As I was about to nod and move, someone grabbed my wrist.
“What the hell is going on?”
It was Princess Aliana. Her classmates were staring at me with anxious faces.
I told them honestly.
“Pope, Termeo has passed away. Looks like the warlocks have moved. We’ll have to watch the situation, but maybe there will be a battle with the Demon World.”
“Church, the Pope… ?”
My classmates seemed shocked.
I left my classmates behind.
