episode_0047

As I was looking at the city center for a moment, a soldier finished communicating and looked this way.

“That… That’s correct. A satellite photo taken a little while ago also showed an anchor being erected in the center of the square. We saw it clearly too.”

“But it’s not there now. What happened? It’s hard to understand that something like this happens with a sudden change in venue.”

“That… .”

In the city center, Ellada’s fighters were still continuing their battle with the monsters. I arrived at the area full of anticipation due to my first appearance.

They were all so excited that they were chopping up the monsters.

“But aren’t those people truly amazing? There were some unknown errors, but at the level of those people, everything was fine… .”

“Yes. But I still don’t have a good feeling. The organization must have received a reasonable amount of broadcast time, so the play is now over. I’ll take care of it now.”

“Ah! You can see the battle scenes of great heroes! It is truly an honor.”

I changed my staff to my left hand, took out a greatsword from my inventory, and grabbed it. This is a great sword that I used a lot.

In the past, when I was playing 『Grandis Saga』, I accidentally acquired it and put it in my inventory and never really used it, but after coming to this world, it became one of my main weapons.

The name in the game was probably Great Sword of Purity.

A familiar sensation spreads through my fingertips. Having held it every day for the past several years, the handle of the greatsword clings to my palm as if I were wearing a well-groomed glove.

Then, the hand holding the handle was pointed forward and strongly pushed down horizontally.

─Kwagwagwang!

The sword that flew into the commercial building in front completely blew away the wall in front of the commercial building, as if a bomb had exploded. That appearance draws attention to this place.

I stamped my foot on the ground, feeling the pleasant sensation of countless eyes focusing on me.

“Ahh! Look at this! It looks like Lord Northmund is finally ready to enter the fray! What just flew away was his trademark half-moon charm! This is my first time seeing it in person… .”

Let’s sweep it away quickly. You shouldn’t stay in a place with unexpected variables for a long time, because you’re not the only one here.

Because I can’t lose my precious students in a place like this.

The Brute raises his signature huge hand and points it at the ground, glaring at us. It looked like it was trying to tear off the asphalt with its huge hands and throw it this way, but before it could even start, I lunged at it.

As if surprised by the sudden charge, I dodged Burt’s hand that was trying to kill me, turned on my foot, bent my body, and slashed the lower body of the guy with my great sword.

The sound of a piece of meat being roughly cut rang out.

─Kaaaa!

Of course, the friction sound of that piece of meat is not about me.

It is the sound of the Brute’s body being cut into pieces with pure metal that was not intentionally coated with mana.

It was kind of my jinx. When using a great sword, the first target is dealt with pure physical force without magic power. That is the jinx for a successful battle.

As the great sword strikes again, a terrible sound of tearing bone and flesh is heard, and at the same time, the man’s waist is cut crosswise and falls to the floor.

In the cross section, red internal organs are scattered and dark red things pour out onto the asphalt.

I can see a glowing magic stone inside its severed fuselage, but I don’t have the energy to pay attention to it.

─Wow! amazing!

─As expected, professor!

The asphalt floor, kicked hard, crushed as if my head had been kicked, and my body rose into the air. The hunters exclaim in admiration when they see this.

I jumped over the rooftops of buildings in a single leap and created countless fireballs while hovering in the air.

The essence of the occult science called magic born at my fingertips flew to all directions of the city like a small meteorite fell.

A huge explosion rang out. A parked car is blown away by the explosion and all the windows of stores along the main street are shattered.

A well-paved historic road with a stately feel is swept away by an explosion, and a burst fire hydrant creates a large fountain.

And everyone here could clearly hear the screams of the monsters mixed with the sound of destruction.

These are the painful deaths of beings from hell burning in the flames of hell.

“Oh. this is… This is really… ”

Even the reporter was speechless. The cameraman didn’t even notice that the sunglasses he was wearing were falling down and he just kept his mouth open.

Despite their astonishment, I bit my lip tightly.

I have a unique sense. As I walked around the battlefield every day for the past few years, I realized something.

Should I call it a sense of touch, a feeling similar to the feeling of deciding life or death?

And that feeling is immediately correct. My mind was confused because my senses were giving me some sort of warning.

‘Let’s quickly deal with all the monsters and get out of here with the disciples.’

The fired magic missile pierces the gate with a booming sound, destroying it, and the chain lightning burns the monsters lined up in the streets.

As hundreds of millions of volts of electricity pass through their bodies, they are unable to even scream and immediately become stiff and completely blackened.

The pungent scent of carbonized proteins filled the streets of Tbilisi.

‘I feel magical power from somewhere, but I don’t know the location.’

In the center of this city, there is a fishy smell similar to the artificial bulbs made in the past on the ring bridge. However, it is difficult to pinpoint its location.

He swung his greatsword and flew a half-moon shaped sword energy, exploring various places. Excessive destruction continued, but since I knew there were no citizens, there was nothing to be concerned about.

‘This should have been enough.’

After dealing with the monsters in the city for a while, I used teleportation again in front of the soldier from earlier.

Just like before, he appeared right in front of my eyes, but this time, he seemed to have gotten used to it, so he didn’t show any indecent behavior like before.

“Most of the monsters were dealt with. I will now retreat with my disciples.”

“Yes? But not yet… .”

“You guys will take care of the rest of the remaining monsters. Since all the gates were destroyed anyway, there will be no more reinforcements.”

Above all, my mana was running out.

As I felt like I was being chased by something, I was using my magic wildly, so my car was running out of fuel so I had to quickly find a gas station, so I hurriedly made a gesture and called my disciples over here.

The day is drawing to a close.

The evening sunset disappeared beyond the foot of the mountain, and the sky, which had already become dark, spoke of the current time.

Even after experiencing such massive destruction, it seemed as if electricity was still coming to the city, and the broken streetlights began to flicker and emit a feeble light.

Meanwhile, the reporter appeared to be attempting individual interviews, as if he was still covering the students.

“Go back to the academy. Everyone worked hard in the first battle.”

“Yes! The first actual experience was really great.”

“It was really cool. It was my first time seeing the professor actually fight.”

I was taken aback by the sudden announcement of my return, leaving behind the soldier who was in contact with my superiors and turning to the parking lot where the magic circle was located.

I feel like 50 chicks are following me.

Still, I was glad. There were no casualties in the first battle.

“Have you seen me? I think I killed about 30 monsters.”

“I was a little scared at first because it looked scary, but it’s no big deal, right? Attacks are easily blocked with Mana Weapon.”

“Aren’t I a little stronger than I thought? Or are the monsters weak? Tsk tsk.”

I glanced at the guys and they seemed to be in a good mood, soaking in the excitement of a successful battle.

In the original, it was funny to have fun fighting against low-level monsters that even F-rank hunters could catch, but still, isn’t it the first battle? I couldn’t help but feel good.

I don’t know if they know that I took care of all the mid-level or higher monsters that could be dangerous.

Except for guys like Brutes, there is quite a difference between low and intermediate levels. If they had properly faced the intermediate players, they would have been in quite a bit of trouble.

Just when I was about to let out a little nervousness and yawn,

‘hmm!?’

I felt a sudden surge of mana. A dark and heavy wave of huge mana.

When I quickly looked back, I saw a black light shooting up into the sky. Light rises into the sky from the plaza visible beyond the parking lot entrance.

“Hey, what is that!”

“What’s going on! Is that a square?”

Jet-black light swirled and soared into the sky, like a waterspout phenomenon where a thousand-year-old Imoogi ascends to the sky.

As I was looking at the scene in shock, the soldier who was talking on the phone with his superiors dropped the walkie-talkie and pointed and screamed.

“Anchor! It’s an anchor! It’s the dimensional anchor phenomenon!”

The tornado soaring into the sky soon touched the clouds in the dark sky, and immediately visibility began to darken.

And from the tornado, a pitch-black fog began to pour out.

‘What is this!’

A black fog spread in all directions, covering all the remnants of the sun that had passed down the mountainside.

“Dark Fog! It’s dark fog! Oh, you have to run away!”

The soldier runs away screaming incoherently. He throws the gun he was holding and the helmet on his head to the floor and runs through the parking lot into the hotel.

Every time the fog approaches, the light in the area covered by the fog goes out. The street lights lose their light and the city gradually becomes shrouded in darkness.

The soldiers who entered the city with cameras also seem to have figured out the identity of the fog, screaming and running towards it to avoid it.

On the other hand, the reporter and cameraman hesitate, as if they have not yet understood the current situation.

Eventually, when the black fog reached them,

“Ugh!”

The reporter suddenly falls to the floor and lets out a piercing scream. The cameraman drops the large camera he was carrying on his shoulder, twists his entire body, and screams in pain.

Their skin turns black and rots instantly. The terrible sight of the skin melting, revealing the muscles, and those muscles dissolving and disappearing is directly shown.

“Hey, those people!”

“Wow!”

Some people with weak stomachs vomit. I, too, couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

In fact, it was my first time experiencing the black fog emitted by a dimensional anchor. I know that the whole of Africa is surrounded by this fog, but I have never actually entered the interior.

The only thing they knew was that ordinary people who were unable to use magical power would immediately die from corroded bodies and that electronic equipment could not be used inside the fog.

“Raise everyone’s magical power! Those who lack magical power should drink this. Dark fog cannot harm magic users.”

As the fog approached quickly, I urgently took out the magic potions from my inventory and shouted at them.

At those words, about ten people approached me and took the potion. It was a precious potion, but given the circumstances, it was released generously.

That moment.

I heard something cutting through the wind in my hearing.

I didn’t even realize that my hands were moving in sync with the sound at a speed that was difficult for the human eye to capture.

visor!

The great sword swung in the realm of unconsciousness that did not pass through my head struck down something that flew at me.

Something cut by a bayonet falls with a loud thud on the parking lot floor.

It was a long tentacle that stabbed me.

At the end of the tentacle was a huge crescent-shaped blade.

Divider. An evolved monster of Moss, a representative dark-type monster.

“Everyone bow down… .”

Fortunately, I succeeded in blocking the attack by swinging my great sword, but the relief of that success did not extend to everyone present.

“?”

A blank answer flowed from one female student’s mouth.

I think it was a muttering filled with pure doubt, as if I wasn’t sure what the situation was.

okay. Why is his perspective so low and why are his friends looking down at him with shocked faces?

“Ellen!”

“Aaaah!”

Screams erupted from the personnel who saw the scene, and the head of a female student named Ellen rolled to the floor.

As if she was about to drink a mana potion, her body was standing upright and she was holding the potion bottle to her mouth.

And the potion was cut off along with her neck, blue liquid flowing to the floor.

“Ugh! Ellen!”

A red, fishy fountain erupts from the cross section of her neck, and the body falls quietly to the side, making a thudding sound.

Everyone who saw this froze with shocked expressions.

Nearby, a student covered in blood dropped his weapon and fell on his buttocks, his groin getting wet.

“Come to your senses! Everyone!”

Shit. He cursed and frowned.

Most people are panicking because of what just happened. The black fog is gradually approaching, and I can’t believe we are in this situation now.

I shouted loudly as I threw my great sword at the divider, which cut off one of its tentacles.

“Come to your senses! Fools!”

When the thrown great sword pierced the monster and stuck in the ground, causing a huge explosion, the guys seemed to come to their senses and quickly woke up and grabbed their weapons again.

However, most of the previous spirit was gone, and fear appeared in each person’s eyes.

How could it not be shocking to witness someone close to you die for the first time? I know that feeling too.

My legs give out and I want to collapse, I want to close my eyes tightly and turn my head, but I can’t turn my head as if I were being held down by scissors, and I don’t know why I feel like I can’t even close my eyes properly.

But that shouldn’t be the case now. Not now ever.

“Fog is coming! Everyone, stay relaxed and prepare!”

As soon as I finished speaking, a black fog entered the parking lot and engulfed us all.
