Chapter 291 – 82. Demon Battle and Pantheon Raid (4)
The road through Istia Hall and Ellen Hall.
No, the sound of clashing weaponry echoed in the vast space of the campus that had become a battlefield.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam-
It’s not just the weapons. Even the start-up sound and explosion sound when magic is activated. The place resembled a battlefield.
“I give an order in the name of the chairman of the event! The Alchemy Order and the Magic Order are now on a temporary truce! And check the faces of all the cadets from the side!”
The witches who revealed their true colors have already started a battle with the swordsmen of the combat group. However, there are still camouflage cadets who hide their true colors.
‘Fortunately, the response is quick.’
You can’t stop the magic battle from starting. There are already snitches in Pantheon, and I can’t just say the source of the preliminary information I already know.
‘But Rosette and Chloe are on my side.’
Instead, it was very important that Ma Yeon-jeon, the two leaders of the two factions, follow my instructions. Through the vulva, that bond is stronger.
This means that you can respond immediately to unforeseen situations. Two people who also felt my will. Rosette and Chloe’s voices echoed across the battlefield.
“Tell me about the suspicious cadet right away!”
“Newly revised layout right before the battle of magic! Follow the arrangement and get Joe back together! The undercover cadets won’t know that information!”
At the direction of the two, the cadets hurriedly arranged the display.
So for the moderators of the battle group, led by me. The enemy became certain.
“These are the first guys I’ve seen! I am not a cadet of the Pantheon!”
“What are you guys doing! You can’t interfere with someone else’s festival!”
“Chit! How did the information get leaked!”
Some of the cadets in Pantheon’s cadet uniforms. The appearance of the cadets changed. A black witch’s robe soon emerges.
The witches of the Witch’s Crusade, who follow black magic, have appeared. No, even the magic they use is not black magic.
‘This ominous. Absolutely not those who signed a contract with the devil.’
A demon grand duke who has risen to the top of the demon hierarchy. Among them, I was the one who signed a contract with three grand dukes.
So, from black magic, I had to feel familiar rather than ominous.
‘It’s not like that. Are the authors also those who are dominated by voices?’
Voice. The presence of chaos beyond the gates. As expected, the magical spirit began to spread from the witch. It was proof that he had contracted with the voice instead of the devil.
“You slut bitch!”
Fabian’s sword emitted light. Mana Sword. It’s not an aura sword yet. However, unlike a normal mana sword, its technique is well refined.
‘It means it’s almost reaching Auror.’
Although he is the golden sun himself. Skill is good A sharp swift attack that went beyond the 4th rank rushed to the witch.
“The guy with no blood on his head!”
However, the witch deflected Fabian’s attack.
And the appearance of the witch, changing like the skin of a witch rather than a human face. Fabian’s expression twisted.
“Wow. She’s the ugliest bitch I’ve ever seen.”
I hurriedly shouted to Fabian.
“Don’t think of them as people! An existence that is no different from a demonic beast! Fight together using Roia’s divine power!”
“I will follow your orders!”
“Your fast attack is fast enough and the power is excellent. But the back is a bit lacking. Throw your sword with the feeling of taking one more step at the end!”
“Is that true?”
Let me point out his habit. Fabian made a surprised expression.
“Someone as great as Marquis Julian was watching over me! That Fabian, I’m impressed! So, I will throw this one body down for the sake of my lord! Glory be to the owner of the midnight sun and the lion!”
Suddenly shouting the slogan of the Midnight Knights. The guy ran out. Like a simple guy, he took my advice right away.
‘Witches of the Witch’s Cross. It looks like a mid-boss of type 2 monsters.’
Type 2 Witchbeast. I encountered the boss of that dungeon in the preliminary platoon evaluation. Although Chloe and Rosette were also with me.
It was not easy to deal directly with the three people who were at the beginning of the 5th tier at the time.
Fortunately, those witches feel lower magical powers than those Type 2 Witchbeasts. It won’t be easy for the cadets either.
‘But if it’s the cadets of the Pantheon. I can believe it.’
He knew very well about the cadets of the combat order. The school I spent the most time with after school started.
I know their faces, names, and swordsmanship skills. All the 2nd year cadets of the battle order are 50 people. During Instructor Darren’s rigorous training session, he also competed sword to sword with them.
And those who trained under Instructor Darren are not clumsy. Especially about witches.
“Eric! Hurry up and cover Fabian! Aim for that witch’s blind spot with Rot! Fabian’s quicksword will buy me time!”
“Yes, Count!”
Eric, the younger brother of coachman Hans and a cadet of the combat order. Because it’s a great cadet. The same goes for other cadets. I could trust them.
In the name of the battle group, I gave instructions to the facilitators who participated in the horse battle. Not only that, but also to the students of the Alchemy Order and the Magic Order.
Woowoowook-
And me too. He approached the witch who felt the strongest magical power and swung his sword.
Soon, the aura that draws a black line goes. Cut off the head of a witch who turned into a demonic beast. But there are still more witches left. I shouted to the cadets in unison.
“If you don’t panic, you’re an enemy that can be stopped! I, in the name of Reinhardt, swear that I will! Show the potential of the Pantheon cadets!”
“Yeah! Count Julian!”
The cadets responded to my call in unison.
***
‘Whoa… At this rate. I think I’ve stopped the witches’ attack for now.’
Chloe let out a sigh of relief. The Battle of the Horses began, and in a battle between the cadets, all the cadets who had fallen from the battlefield were returned to the battlefield.
‘It was fortunate that the polishing match was a mock match. Because I was able to maintain my power.’
Before the witches’ betrayal and raids began like now. There were also cadets who had already been kicked out of the polishing match. It was already the night of the polishing match.
In the battle between the two groups, the necklace was destroyed and was treated as a warrior. In fact, the body was fine. Now that it was an emergency, the cadets could rejoin the battle.
That too, not a mock battle for polishing, but a real battle. Power helped.
‘After that, it was really a real battle.’
And even though they are witches, those demons have already turned into demons. So there was no need to hesitate in dealing with them.
Witch Beasts are beings with blind killing intentions towards humans. Because if you don’t die, the cadets will die. Fortunately, the witches’ ambush seems to have ended.
The cadets of the medical school, dressed in nuns’ uniforms, hurriedly treated the wounded. Camouflage cadet. Although it was an unexpected attack from those witches. That response was very quick.
‘U.S. I stopped it with the power of Pantheon’s students.’
And for a moment, Chloe thought she was. When she said we, she was taken aback.
‘I saw the students of the Pantheon… And thought they were us?’
Such a sense of kinship was a very unfamiliar experience for Chloe.
A representative cadet of the Alchemy Order. However, as a high-ranking noble of her own, she has never considered her cadets the same as her.
Even cadets of the same alchemy order. He is different from the cadets who enjoy their academy life carefreely, and he is different from his birth.
Because of her arrogance as a high-ranking aristocratic lady, it wasn’t something I had in mind.
No, rather, because of Chloe’s identity and her birth as a member of Aitern Company. In reality, he had lived a life completely unthinkable as a normal cadet.
‘I always had to be perfect. I had to be careful.’
Aitern, the ruler of the central region. And above Island’s best Aitern.
Chloe’s talent was recognized from a young age, and she and her older brother were trained as successors to Aitern.
Also, life as a merchant. He was another battlefield with money as a weapon.
From a very young age, he was thoroughly taught to think of people as numbers. And even alchemy. He has learned to survive from his older brothers who keep him in check, who are talented in every way.
‘Because I had to protect myself.’
Even in the Pantheon, Chloe did that. If not perfect. And if you are not calm, you cannot survive as Chloe de Aitern.
So, I always thought that the weight of that life was different from that of the cadets.
But Chloe, the cadets now. Especially the cadets of the Order of Alchemy who thoroughly believed in and followed his own instructions. For a moment, he thought it was us.
‘Yeah… I am. It’s because he’s the representative of the cadets of the alchemy order.’
Not only that, but even to the cadets of other sects. I felt an instantaneous bond.
As a cool-headed alchemist who always hides his emotions. She who lived as a rational merchant. Now she was feeling the emotions she didn’t know.
Just what I can know. That there is only one person at the center of that feeling.
‘Julian… Von Reinhardt.’
Chloe’s eyes turned to him.
“Witches, no, it seems that all the demons have been dealt with! It’s all thanks to you guys here! Devil’s teeth won’t be able to break the will of Pantheon’s students!”
“Pantheon! Pantheon!”
At the center of the battlefield, Yulian was encouraging the cadets. And seeing him shining more than anyone on the battlefield. Chloe’s heart skipped a beat.
‘I’m a high-ranking aristocrat too… But the Reinhard family is…’
And Chloe knows Julian’s secret that others don’t know. The grandson of the margrave and the son of the great saint. However, he decided to be the son of Lucifer, the Demon King.
Now Chloe was realizing that fact. No, all the cadets too. Everyone was following Yulian’s gaze. His words. Because I was sending faith to his hand gesture.
It all feels so beautiful. Like the devil said. I feel like I’m falling for him.
‘But… It’s also different from that.’
Chloe felt it. As a person who can soberly evaluate the value of people and things more than anyone else.
That Julian was a person who was instinctively suited to stand on top of people, no, it was natural.
Even if the current Julian was not from the Reinhard family. I was sure the cadets would have followed his words.
Even her. If it was Julian’s words. Even if there hadn’t been this vulgarity, there is a sense of trust that I would have believed and followed without fail at this moment.
‘I can’t compare to the current emperor. No, rather, that word fits better, Julian-sama…’
And that man is Chloe. She is the one who awakened her feelings as the woman she thought she had abandoned.
So Chloe thought seriously at this moment.
‘I… She wants to be Julian-sama’s woman. Really.’
It’s not like weak anymore. It’s not a one-night stand. As her own feelings, as her love for him, she wanted to stand by Julian’s side.
Not her body or her private places. Her heart was pounding.
And just then.
I heard the voice of a cadet of the combat order who was out on reconnaissance.
“Fah, Pantheon Academy is in trouble!”
***
An undercover cadet of the Witch’s Cross. The attack was stopped once and for all.
No fatalities or serious injuries. As much as I prepared in advance, I was able to block it with minimal damage.
However, the moment the organizers returned from reconnaissance. I also had a hunch that this battle of magic was not over.
“Fah, Pantheon Academy is in trouble!”
I calmed down the excited cadet and calmly listened to the report. A large-scale barrier was placed in the Pantheon Academy.
“It is now impossible to enter the central main building where the instructors and faculty are waiting! And the road to the outside of the academy is also blocked by an unknown barrier, making entry and exit impossible…”
As expected, the battle of demons was proceeding as it was known in the Demon King’s Slaughter. First confusion by camouflage cadets.
After that, a large-scale barrier of Pantheon Academy is created. The witches of the Witch’s Cross, who moved separately from the camouflage cadets, created the barrier.
‘Because there’s no way to stop it even if I knew about it in advance.’
The order for the barrier had not been made in advance. Just like how Rene opened the gate with the marker and summoned the Witchbeast.
A voice, a marker reinforced by the demonic power of that being. I would have created this barrier in one go. It was impossible to prevent this unless the Witch’s Cross was annihilated beforehand.
‘And because of this barrier. Pantheon Academy is now a dungeon.’
According to the demon king’s death, an attack by camouflaged cadets and extreme confusion will occur among the cadets after this barrier is formed.
Among users, there were reviews saying that at that moment, the genre of Demon King’s Slaughter seemed to have changed to a horror game. This was the beginning of the full-fledged episode of Ma Yeon-jeon.
But I wasn’t in a hurry.
Now the cadets are firmly united. Even with the previous battle and the urgent report from that scout cadet. Because the cadets maintain their composure.
Those cadets’ eyes were all on me.
I said to the cadets.
