chapter 46
46 – #46. Red District Dordom (6)
If you think about it, it was a prejudice to say that the Dark Demon Church would not use magical power.
Of course, many people who hate magic have joined the Dark Demon Church.
Dark magic, the energy created by sacrificing a person’s life, has some things that cannot be achieved with ordinary magic power.
A history book borrowed from the Ariel Academy magic library.
Among the contents in it, I was able to learn about the history of our ancestors in ancient times who fought against black magicians.
A powerful curse-type debuff spell.
Necromancy that revives the dead by turning them into undead.
Mental magic that controls the mind of a demonic beast, etc.
There were enough wizards and swordsmen who were so crazy about power that they crave even forbidden things.
Therefore, I was able to conclude that the person in front of me was not simply someone incapable of magic, and draw a conclusion through physical and psychological evidence.
I’ve seen her swordsmanship several times in class.
Even if the person involved tried to hide it, it was inevitable that they would find out.
“Why did you hide such swordsmanship skills from the academy?”
… It was the moment when my words became true through her answer.
***
“Cyan Brace. The bane of the Principality of Brace… “As soon as school started, people changed and I didn’t notice at first.”
“… ….”
She smiles, pulling back her hood.
The smile I always gave to students in the classroom.
It was a smile that reflected the teacher’s broad heart and personality.
I never imagined that it was something that was created artificially like that.
Even in this situation, you smile like that.
“… Why are you doing this? “Professor, I’m sure you have enough fame and power without having to touch a dark horse, right?”
“Well, it’s probably because there are problems that can’t be solved with force alone, right?”
I continued to ask some questions.
In order to recover my depleted stamina, I had to circulate the magic power in my body.
And, I needed to know why she was involved with the Dark Demon Church.
“… “Are you saying you have a problem that needs to be solved even at the cost of someone else’s life?”
“Yes. “I really have to kill him.”
“…… ?”
Laura pointed to a certain place with her finger.
It was Rosaria who had fallen.
“… “What is the reason?”
“There is no need for children to know everything about adults. More than that, have you all rested?”
“…… !”
Did you notice… ?
“Hand over her princess. Then I will save you. “I also feel uncomfortable killing a student.”
“Are you saying that Rosaria is not your student?”
“… Ha.”
Laura shakes her head.
She then lightly touches the sword in her scabbard with one hand…. It was time to think.
Laura rushed at a frightening speed.
“You brought this on yourself.”
She steps on her herbivore.
Clean steps without even the slightest error.
Baldo swordsmanship based on fast sword style.
As soon as she removed her sword from her scabbard, her sword blows whipped around like a fierce storm.
-Chaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaeng!
-aaah!
… She couldn’t react to everything.
Her sword was as fast as a flash of light, and because of that, she was cut several times on her lower body.
I was only able to avoid the most important joints and vital points.
“Ugh….”
All she could do was hold her posture while bleeding.
She also gave a scoffing response as if she was wasting no more time.
She speaks as she stands in front of me, placing the hand that is not holding her sword on her waist.
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous to do more?”
“… ….”
It was a different level from my current state.
Because she is a sword master, she is in the middle of 6 stars….
I am near the end of 3 stars.
The chances of winning are probably slim.
‘But, if it’s just a one-shot strike…’ .’
If you hit them once, you might be able to buy them time to escape.
Laura doesn’t know exactly where I am.
Unless you are a sword genius like Aria, you would never even think that a single student has reached the level of 3 stars.
Emil must have been alert and organized quickly because she used Aurors from the beginning.
If she is letting down her guard now….
“You are persistent. “Why do you care so much about her?”
“You have a strong tongue.”
“… ….”
In an instant, her mood changed.
“I guess it’s the law that a teacher should properly punish a delinquent student….”
As soon as I finished speaking.
She attacked fiercely again.
I used all my might again to react to the sword strike coming at me at high speed.
-Kagaga River!
Swords collide with each other,
The sword that could not be struck continued to cut into my skin.
From the fact that she attacked without stopping, I could feel her determination to see it to the end.
‘Okay… If it continues like this… !’
Aim for the point where the first herbivory ends and the next herbivore continues.
A gap in mixed swordsmanship.
That little bit of timing between canceling a herbivore and then continuing with another herbivore.
To aim for that, I will use her aura to extend the length of her sword blade and then let my attack reach her when she is caught off guard!
‘… Now!’
I squeezed out Danjeon’s magic power.
It was a split second that felt like slow motion.
A blue aura composed of my magical power blooms as if pouring from the handle of the sword I was holding.
-Whaaah!
And.
“…… !”
She reacted late by being surprised and activating the same aura.
‘It’s already too late. Professor… !’
Her aura reached her first.
-Tukwahak!
My Auror cut into her side.
“Bwak!”
Perhaps unexpectedly, she let out a small moan and winced.
Now is the time.
He quickly turned around, picked up Rosaria, who was lying on the floor, and ran at full speed.
She turned off her aura and devoted all of her remaining magical power to her physical abilities.
I didn’t even look back.
My vision suddenly changed.
It runs faster than the speed of water flowing in the center of the underground waterway, creating the illusion that the water has stopped and is not flowing.
“Gasp, gasp, gasp… !”
The end of the underground waterway is increasingly visible.
The end has been reached.
It was an exit passage leading to stairs.
-Tadadadadadak!
I quickly ran up the stairs and came out.
Then, I finally see the dawn sky, not the artificial stone ceiling.
Dark and cloudless deep dawn sky.
“Huh….”
When I took a breath and looked around, the landscape was a flat area with a lot of weeds.
The lights of Dordom, the red light district, could be seen in the distance.
Is this the end before entering the village?
I can’t believe you ran this far.
‘You can’t be at ease! Didn’t cause any fatal injuries… !’
Just as I was about to run away again.
At that moment, goosebumps appeared all over her body.
Death.
It was only for one second that all my instincts recognized that it was getting close.
I felt something flying at incredible speed along with a deadly weight pressing down on my shoulders.
That was when I reflexively turned around and tried to block it with my sword.
-Kwazajak!
‘Uh… ?’
My sword broke helplessly.
I also recognized the danger and wrapped my sword with aura.
However, is it useless for denser and higher-level Aurors?
As soon as Auror and Auror collided, my sword shattered to the point that it could no longer be considered a sword.
He hurriedly threw Rosaria aside and turned her body to avoid the flying Auror.
-Tukwagwagwagwagwagwagwa!
As soon as she dodged, her auror tore through the ground, creating a tremendous roar.
The surface of the ground is hollowed out in a 1-character shape.
I felt a chill down my spine.
If you couldn’t avoid it by a narrow margin and got hit straight away.
It never occurred to me that I would be alive and breathing like I am now.
“Die.”
She, who was cutting the ground like her tofu, emitted aura again and swung her sword diagonally towards me.
This cannot be stopped.
The sword is broken, and even if you avoid it, Rosaria behind you is in danger due to the shock wave.
‘I can’t help it… !’
I thought I would only use it at the very end because I was using a huge amount of magic power.
If I run out of magic power, I too will be unable to move.
If I failed, everything would be in vain.
But if now is not the end, what kind of situation is the end?
Rosaria is dangerous if you avoid it.
But if you don’t stop it, you will die.
It was time to make a decision.
The moment I pulled it out of my belt like that.
-Flash!
Blue light flickered.
The dark dawn shone brightly and the space we were in became as bright as day.
Bpii-.
My ears are ringing.
I don’t know what happened.
But I knew one thing.
Laura’s sword cracked.
“…… ?!”
She is embarrassed.
If aurors of different levels collide, it is best for the sword wearing the lower level auror to break.
But my sword did not break.
Because there was no sword in the first place.
What I was holding was the Auror itself.
-Tukwagwagwagwagwagwa!
Aurors continue to clash with each other.
-Jejeok.
Laura’s sword could not hold up.
Durability was being reduced.
What would happen if you keep repeating the act of shocking someone without destroying it?
Material that receives impact will break apart.
“What…” !”
Laura, feeling something was wrong, quickly tried to pull her sword back behind her.
I had no intention of standing by and watching that happen.
“aaah!”
-Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa!
When she pulls back her sword, she is ready to cut right down.
I kept pushing.
Then Laura’s sword dies. Damn it. I made a sound.
-Pachang!
“…… ?!”
“…… !”
It eventually broke.
