Chapter 84 – 15. Reverse Heaven (4)
Sanya Dominas opened her closed ears.
All the sounds of her world, including the sound of the wind, the lapping of the waves, and the moving of grass insects, focus on her.
The ruler of sound waves, the woman with a thousand ears.
They were all nicknames for Sanya’s sonar ability.
“I’m a little dizzy because I’m trying to use it after a long time.”
In recent years, she has lived with her ears closed for a long time because the world has been so peaceful.
She used her abilities weakly because it was to grasp the existence of intruders and monsters, so it had been a long time since she had produced such an output.
“Well, not bad… I’ll probably get used to it in 10 minutes or so.”
The world she saw through her eyes was a dizzying landscape with all sorts of numbers and flickering lights all around objects.
The number displayed in front of her constantly changes with the mere sight of a small flying insect.
This ability was the key function of Sanya’s sonar.
The sound waves that flow into her ears are analyzed one by one by Sanya’s magic, and only useful information is automatically filtered out.
And her unique magic release method, which she has honed over a long period of time, synchronizes the information with her field of view, allowing her to grasp all movements of objects in real time.
“Principal, they say that all the remaining students have returned.”
“Okay. Then, let’s get ready as well.”
The intuition of the strong warned of danger.
A monster she couldn’t even deal with might appear, she thought.
But they never backed down.
If the elite faculty of Korea’s only academy turn their backs on this level of danger, how will they see the students’ faces in the future?
Awakeners should never turn their backs on monsters.
Even in the raids of monsters that infiltrate daily life without rest, the Awoken always had to be the focal point of victory.
So, they took up arms.
“Something seems to come up from the sea… I can’t determine the level of magic with my abilities.”
The huge wave of magical power felt in the deep sea far away squeezes my body numbly.
The vast amount of magical power that even a professor specializing in searching and tracking could not know the end of, spoke of the strength of beings beyond the sea.
Sanya slowly gazed at the bloody waterspout rising to the sky.
Her sonar system also repeatedly outputs the message [ERROR], But does not give specific numbers.
“Hmm… You’ll be a formidable enemy. Shiana, you’re going back first. Even if you fight with that body now, it won’t help much.”
“Huh? Oh, no! I can fight even if it’s just a little… After telling Jihoo-kun that, I can’t run away right now…!”
“Jihoo-kun… You’re really into it. Shiana. But it’s impossible not to do it. Go back quickly while the portal is still open.”
“…Even if you tell me that, I’ll do whatever I want this time. Also, with my ability, I can fight more comfortably, so the moment I need will come anyway.”
Sanya remembered the curse placed on Sianna.
She was about 5 years old, but one day, while she was in the middle of wiping out her monsters in the middle of the battle, it happened that she suddenly left the battle.
‘Every time I use magic, my body gets hot.’
These were the words she uttered with difficulty when she went to see Sianna after she had managed to deal with her accident.
Not being able to concentrate properly because my body would go crazy even with the slightest use of magical power was tantamount to being sentenced to retirement as an Awakener.
At that time, Shiana had an expression of losing everything about her.
She was a genius graduate of the Royal Academy of England, nicknamed the Knight of Radiance, and she could not accept the fact that she had lost all her honor to a single curse of unfunny effect.
She was such a strong-willed child that she eventually calmed her down and invited her to be a professor at the academy…
It was very rare to see Cianna, who had almost cut her attention to others after her accident, to see her think of others that way.
‘Lee Ji-hoo… I need to meet you one more time.’
She didn’t fully trust Lee Ji-hoo.
Even if she was the object she gave her heart to, she was like her niece, but in the end, that was just her point of view.
She was grateful that she had warned her about the strangeness in advance, but looking at Lee Ji-hoo’s actions so far, she still couldn’t shake her doubts because there were not one or two suspicious parts of her.
‘Seduced like last time… This time, I’ll have to get more reliable information.’
In her last meeting, she unknowingly switched on and showed her vulgar side, but in her next consultation, she will thoroughly play with Lee Ji-hoo from her adult point of view.
How her cyana got her smile back, she’d have to vomit every single one of those things inside her out of her own mouth.
“I’m starting to see a little bit… Ah, that, that’s…!”
This guy’s useless delusion.
It was Professor Han’s cry that brought back Sanya’s spirit, who had been standing in a daze thinking of Siana and Jihoo Lee.
As the blood-colored waterspout slowly cleared, the existence that was revealed was a type of monster Sanya was more familiar with than anything else.
“Sea dragon, it was.”
50, no, one was killed, so 49.
Another sea dragon, born using a total of 49 sacrifices, slowly turned her head towards Sanya and let out a loud scream.
“That’s it…”
“Who created such a terrible thing… I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
The sea dragon I encountered decades ago was clearly more like a ‘god’ than a monster.
The movement of leisurely swimming in the sky while wrapped in a mysterious fog seemed to see a dragon riding on a hermit in real life.
However, the sea dragon that came into her eyes now was completely different from then.
Black boils were embedded in places on its bloody body, and the appearance of it spinning around and flying around the body looked more like a parasite wriggling grotesquely than mysteriously.
“First of all, get in touch with the other islands and ask if there are any other abnormal phenomena besides that. The remaining members prepare defense magic in preparation for the sea dragon’s attack.”
“”Yes!””
In the end, since the monsters were patched up, it would be weaker than the original version.
However, this strange magical trembling, the pressure of the red eyes looking straight at him, told me that he was no less than the existing blue dragon.
“First of all, you need to know how much power you have. Shiana, if you want to be of any help in battle, from now on, until I tell you to stop, keep shooting the light over there, don’t stop.”
“Yes…! I can do that much!”
No matter how much movement can be detected with sound waves, darkness eventually takes away the important sense of sight.
Watching Cianna eagerly run towards a large rock, Sanya slowly reached out her hand towards the sea dragon.
“There was a saying that first bread is a victory…”
Wouldn’t it be possible to properly prove that statement is true today?
Mana began to be sucked into Sanya’s left hand.
The left hand vibrates violently, devouring not only the inspired mana floating around the essence, but also the vast amount of nature’s mana.
“Look at it as a start, because I don’t really like things like that.”
Among Sanya’s skills, magic with the most destructive power.
She held her trembling arm firmly with her right hand and aimed it straight at the sea dragon.
“Shock Wave.”
Before long, a wave of bullets pierced the sky.
Whoops!
The surrounding sea parted with a tremendous piercing sound that could tear the eardrums apart.
The seawater vaporized by the heat accompanying the enormous energy turned into a thick fog that obscured her vision.
Certainly, with this much power, it would be able to tear a normal demon to shreds at once.
But Sanya, with a firm expression on her face, cautiously lowered her left hand and muttered lowly:
“…It didn’t work at all.”
When the fog cleared in the wind, I saw a sea dragon that looked nothing different from before.
He was spitting out screams to see if he could feel the pain, but at least there didn’t seem to be any visible scars on his skin.
It’s not going to be an easy fight.
Sanya Dominas looked at her sea dragon and bit her lip.
