“Phew… .”

Helen Burns sighed.

Helen herself is in the principal’s office.

Since Northmund was away for a long period of time to accomplish a great cause, Helen was naturally taking over and handling the issues that came up to the top, as she had done before.

And it was being handled by Helen’s hands as naturally as water, as if Northmund was still sitting in his seat.

And I expected today to be the same day… .

“Ha… .”

It was a sigh he had let out, but he soon sighed loudly again, his face turning bright red from the heat rising to his face.

Why is this reaction happening? A situation like this must have been anticipated and countermeasures in place.

Without realizing it, I pressed my left hand to my chest and sighed.

‘Suddenly there was no contact as usual.’

It’s in the dark fog. This is an area that hinders the operation of all communications and mechanical equipment.

It is said that human technology has made it work, but how can something always work as intended?

It must be a communication problem. That means there won’t be a problem.

‘It won’t be much of a problem. Yes, I can’t even imagine what will happen to Dean Northmund. When I come back, I’ll have to give you a big pinch or something.’

Thoughts chewing in my head.

But it only circulated in Helen’s head and never came out of her lips.

Isn’t this an idea that originally came from just handling work in the dean’s office?

“The story was set to say that it would be more than just equipment for the organization.”

“I’m not saying it’s correct, but it will be like that.”

When Deokjae Lee spoke to Helen with a wry smile and a slight nod of his head,

Helen takes it and responds immediately, as if glaring.

“Still, the organization seems to be dissatisfied. We’ve dispatched a lot of agents to prepare for a breakdown, but it’s impossible for everything to break down all at once. Our dean was very concerned that something might be wrong. I heard that they are considering issuing an entry order to the troops located on the border of the fog.”

“It’s always been like that there. Deokjae Lee must have felt this way while working here.”

“Well, that’s true.”

Deok-Jae Lee talks so casually, puts the documents he brought on the table where Helen is sitting, and heads out of the principal’s office.

Deokjae Lee was now doing the same everyday actions that Helen had always done to Northmund that could be ordinary.

Helen, who realized this, felt a crack in her head and frowned.

She also felt that it was not Northmund that was worried about the countries around the world asking the Academy through the mouth of the organization.

This expedition was able to be carried out because Northmund had continued to tolerate it because it had ultimately brought a result that everyone could understand.

On the surface, they are naturally making gestures of agreement with Northmund’s cause, but who doesn’t know that just because no one points it out doesn’t mean that everyone takes it for granted?

Now, my dear dean may be a bit of a pain in the ass.

It’s a cruel thing.

“What am I doing? .”

Although she was not in a position where she could see the mirror from the office desk she was sitting at, it was obvious even without looking at her own face, which was full of heat and fuming, so she forced her eyes to move to the documents in front of her.

Red dragon Northmund.

A person who is redder than anything else, but still has a blue flame in his heart.

And while that flame is blue, it also has the heat of sacrificing everything for people who are not related to it.

Such a person should not disappear.

We will definitely contact you again. The expedition he intended would come true.

And once again, he will appear at that doorstep in that stylish, or rather, slightly unsophisticated and stuffy suit, and look at you with that unique look in his eyes.

certainly.

“Ha… .”

But what if that’s not the case?

“Ah… .”

The organization’s suspicions also make sense. There must have been more than one signal soldier who followed there.

No, if something like that were to happen, Northmund would definitely contact us separately somehow.

Why has there been no contact for over a week? .

Wee-ing!

As Helen’s mind began to darken little by little, a vibration from inside the pocket of her suit woke her up.

*

“Are you connected? Oh my.”

When I let out a questioning voice in a situation I couldn’t properly understand, the response I didn’t expect came back very quickly.

It was a woman’s voice. Based on the tone you hear, around early 30s?

“No#mund? Ah# G#$Rock!@#Go!!”

“Is it Helen? This number managed to connect.”

Although it was hard to hear properly due to the crackling sound, it was still a connection after a long time.

Reporting about my birthplace might not be a problem at this level.

Since contact with the organization failed, they contacted the academy, but by chance, their communications were connected.

The Academy uses Taesung’s communication satellite, so maybe that’s why.

They are probably looking for their successor even though they have lost contact within the fog. I may have benefited a little.

“Wow, we were able to connect, but it seems like proper communication would be difficult. Sorry, Professor.”

She was a petite girl with blond hair that fell below her shoulders and a neat face, but with somewhat stern eyes.

He was wearing the provided jet black combat uniform that was designed to be comfortable to wear, but the dragon-shaped badge on his chest was that of the academy, which was the only one in the world.

Since it was a famous academy that no one knew about, no one would be able to recall their affiliation regardless of their attire.

“Can’t the sensitivity be further increased? Since we lost contact for almost a week, I think I should at least report on my current situation.”

“I’m sorry, Jang A-hyeon. For me, this is the best. that… The specifications are very different from the equipment I was trained on. At first, I didn’t even know this was a communication device.”

“Hmm… Wasn’t your minor in communication studies? I understand that we received training there on the equipment we will be using. I have also seen some similar equipment.”

“Ah… that… Is that possible? It’s not that I dozed off or anything… eww… That, that.”

While Jang Ah-hyeon’s face was becoming sallow and sharp enough to make you think she was shooting bullets from her eyes, the expression on the female student’s face was becoming dead and dull.

The female student’s desperate rebuttal contained a sense of injustice, but Jang Ah-hyun seemed to have no intention of acknowledging the female student’s unfairness, so she spoke again.

“If you thought that you would never have to use the equipment just because an organization staff member accompanied you, then you are in really big trouble… .”

“Stop! We were properly connected, and the Academy also confirmed our survival. That’s enough.”

When the female student’s legs trembled under Jang A-hyeon’s force, I stopped Jang A-hyeon in a panic.

And when I waved my hand and signaled her to quickly leave, she bowed to me with a pale face and hurriedly disappeared.

“You’re lucky, that little guy.”

When Jang A-hyeon spoke in a low voice, I too was a little creeped out and gave an expression of surprise.

The voice she heard when urging a female student in the Department of Communications was as if she was talking indifferently in her mouth.

It was unusually dry, and every time he spoke in that voice, there was a sinking atmosphere, to put it simply, a feeling of intimidation.

I unconsciously burst into laughter at the sight, which was so contradictory to the image I had of Jang A-hyeon.

“Why are you smiling?”

“No. Tbilisi, who would have thought that the little boy who was shaking during his first appearance would become so reliable.”

“Reliable. Saying something like that to a woman is not a compliment. You are so indifferent.”

I grinned and turned away from her who started talking as if she was about to start complaining about something.

Then the place caught my eye.

During that time when there was no connection to the outside world. A lot of things happened to us too.

Defeating the legions of monsters that attacked every day, or even every hour, we were slowly but steadily moving towards our destination.

“There you go.”

Before I knew it, Han Se-jun came up to me and stood next to me, following where my gaze was directed. Next to him was Yun Shia, a dragon girl with long, flowing hair.

“… It’s high.”

Yun Sia said, looking straight ahead with wide-open eyes.

Yes, when I looked in front of me right now, what I saw was a large building that I could only assume was a castle.

“Hmm. Is that the moon? It’s fascinating.”

Sejun opened his eyes wide as if he didn’t understand the situation and turned his gaze to the sky, and everyone’s eyes followed him.

The moon was up.

It looked like a half moon slightly obscured by clouds.

Of course it wasn’t the real moon. It was just floating, but the moonlight was repeating blurry and clear on its own, which was proof of this.

There was no way I wouldn’t have found the object floating vaguely in the fog that covered the sky.

“Huh?”

The moment Han Se-jun made a dumb sound, for some reason the sky and the moon in the sky seemed to be tinged a little red.

It was a clear image. Like an endlessly crackling hologram, what was reflected in our eyes as we looked at the sky was an object dyed red.

“… It wasn’t the moon. Of course it goes without saying.”

I heard Yoon Shia muttering lowly.

As if in response, a small black circle appeared from the large sphere, and it spun around, heading in this direction.

It looked like a human eye.

The moment those eyes looked at me, I knew right away.

That the being who invited us here had me in his eyes.

“… Alexstras.”

“Um, is that it? That devil?”

Han Se-jun caught that gaze, took a deep breath, and let out an astonished voice.

He too was able to realize with a momentary judgment of the situation who had created the situation in which he was now tied to this damn land.

Yes, those big, hostile eyes floating in the sky were the proof.

“… Still, I thought he was humanoid since he said he was the devil leader.”

“Actually, I thought so too. Most of his subordinates had humanoid bodies.”

“But how can I attack that thing? I can’t think of a way to hit something that’s floating that high.”

“Oh, that’s true too?”

“No need to worry. It’s a useless worry.”

What do you think I said? Questionable reactions were heard from all directions.

All the survivors here were now looking at the sky. Of course, there’s no way I wouldn’t have seen something that stands out like that.

“He will come down to the ground. And I’ll be locked in that castle. It seems like the foolish guy wants to play devil’s game.”

“That’s right. If you’re going to fight someone from the sky, there’s no reason to build such a high castle.”

Jang A-hyeon agreed with what I said and nodded. At the same time, it was funny to hear a somewhat relieved reaction.

I was actually suffocating and laughing. Of course, the source of that laughter was not my students, but Alexstras in the sky.

‘They say that if you live long you become childish, but it seems that’s true. ‘Have you got dementia, Alexstras?’

It seemed like he also wanted to imitate the devil from an RPG game.

Needless to say, the last being I must slay is an immortal being floating in the sky who was born with the creation of this world and has lived for eternity.

but,

The master, a god, used to imitate romance novels as his last entertainment, and now even his henchman thinks it’s childish.

Right. This is just that kind of world.

─North Mund.

“Come down, Alexstras. Are you just planning to shout loudly in the sky?”

I confidently told him.

In this hell, all living things that cover the entire earth are annihilated and scattered into pitch-black ashes.

A gigantic dragon stands on the ground, unscathed, and cries out to the lord of hell.

Like a flower blooming in the dense darkness, the ashes scatter, but the area around Yongin, who stands within the ashes, is not invaded by the ashes, as if it were a sanctuary protected by someone.

It’s as if even the ash wind is being overcome by its force and is trembling in fear.

“If you don’t come down, go here first. Don’t you dare look down on me!”

If the time surrounding us stops for a long time and does not move.

It should get me moving again.

I held the great sword wide and threw it towards the sky.

Towards the damn thing that is looking insolently this way.
