“Lanian. Bena. Go up.”

“Huh… ?”

“Quickly!”

Elin shouted urgently.

“Yes, net… !”

I don’t know why, but there must be a reason why Elin is like this.

Bena pulled at Lanian’s collar.

“Seo, senior, let’s go up…!”

“… … ”

“Senior?”

“Ohhh, here it comes… !”

“Yes?”

“The devil is coming!”

The sky did not turn black and the earth did not split open as recorded in the literature.

But this spirit seems to be collapsing in the air.

The aura of the devil was evident.

I don’t know if it’s because the level is low.

Rather, it came as a fatal fear to a wizard who knew a lot like Ranian.

“But not the main body. Then how…? Can only some be called in? Temporarily? Or an incarnation? ”

Like searching through a library to find a book.

Countless pieces of information float through Ranian’s head.

“Go up and think.”

Exactly.

Luke snapped his fingers.

I sent Lanian and Benna up onto the airship.

Given enough time, Lanian will find out information about the demon.

It was difficult to mutter on the battlefield.

“Hmm. Good habit. A bunch of smart people gathered here? This will be fun. Hmm, this will be a fun play.”

An eerie voice rang out, coming from nowhere.

Kuk.

Ellen took Luke’s hand.

I made a handcuff by interlocking my fingers one by one.

“… Teacher.”

“Don’t worry. Even if the demon is resurrected, it’s okay. I’ll protect you somehow… .”

“What are you talking about?”

Ellen pulled Luke in as if she was dumbfounded.

“Don’t ever leave me. I will protect you, teacher.”

“I can protect myself. But more importantly, Your Majesty… .”

“Teacher.”

Ellen pressed her index finger against Luke’s lips.

“If the teacher gets hurt, I’ll really go crazy. So don’t act rashly. Okay?”

“… … Yes.”

Only then did Luke realize his situation.

You just gave me a breathless kiss and now you’re saying you’ll protect me?

It would have been much more helpful to just assist Elin from behind.

“Ehhh… Khehhh…! Love, you overcame it with love. Then what happens if you touch the person you love? Will you be able to get back up? Aren’t you curious? Huh?”

A frowning, frowning voice.

After that, a cool sensation runs down my spine.

“Everyone, get ready!”

Luke wasn’t the only one who felt the creepy sensation.

Even though there was no prior arrangement, the group all lined up.

Dismissed-!

In the front line are Nia, Ann, and Watt.

Woof-!

In the back row are Elin, Luke, Tristin, and Cheryl.

Sling-

Leo pulled out his Dragon Sword and looked around.

“Hmm, hmm. Then how about lightly tearing the legs first? Okay? ”

With a creepy, light voice.

Kwakwakwakwak!!

A tremendous storm of swords swept through.

For a moment the snowstorm parted.

A disaster with black energy instead of wind is coming.

Leo has seen this scene.

The sword strike of Calchad that forced the secret task force to retreat.

At first glance it looks messy.

The goal is clear.

Luke Bucklin holding hands with Ellen.

As the voice said, he was aiming for Luke.

Kwak.

Leo grabbed the hilt of the sword.

I didn’t know this kind of attack would come from the beginning.

It’s not that I wasn’t prepared.

Woof-

Gather your aura in the Dragon Sword.

“Sigh-!”

When you take a step forward and are about to swing your sword.

Kiiing-

An ear-piercing noise filled the battlefield.

Is this perhaps a variation of the swordsmanship?

Leo, who was about to respond immediately, ended up being dumbfounded.

I know it’s taboo to lose your mind on the battlefield.

For a moment, the action had to stop.

“… You dare aim at the teacher?”

Elin raised one hand high.

Magical power radiating from the entire body.

A black sphere that is summoned in the middle of a battle and devours everything around it.

Ssss… .

The black sphere that absorbed all of the sword’s storm collapsed.

“Haha! Hahaha! Did you see it? Did you see it, Carlchad? Your attack was blocked badly!”

Buzz buzz buzz.

After that, a man with only bones left appeared frivolously.

He looked too skinny and weak to be a demon.

“… … ”

But no one could move rashly.

“Huh? What’s wrong with you all? Aren’t you ready to fight? If you draw your sword, swing it, and if you load your magic, fire it. Now, shoot! ”

The oppressive feeling that cannot even block the right movements is transmitted to the skin.

I had a strong feeling that if I attacked now, I wouldn’t be able to leave even a bone behind.

It was Luke who overcame his fear and spoke first.

“… Are you the devil?”

“Oh, you mean let’s talk first? Well, not bad. Yeah. I’ll tell you since it won’t work if you try to hide it.”

The man curled the corners of his mouth into a smirk.

A bizarre expression where the corners of the mouth and the corners of the eyes touch.

It was an absolutely impossible feat for a human being.

“Gernom. That’s what humans call it. It’s not exactly a name I made up… Call me whatever you want.”

Germ.

The demon that sealed Bertain in the cave appeared.

* * * * *

Luke knew the name Gernom.

That’s because it was written in the book Aurora brought from the East.

It is clearly written in the book… .

“Are you the demon sealed by the 2nd generation lord?”

“What? Seal? Aha, ahaha. So that’s how you left the record?”

However, the second generation of Bertain’s family remained sealed.

Judging from the reaction, it didn’t seem to be the case.

“Carl Chad. It’s okay to hide, but isn’t it wrong to lie?”

Gernom looks back and smirks.

“… … ”

Thud thud.

Calchad appeared behind Gernom with a stern face.

“Anyway, this is a record that no one cares about.”

“You should speak straight. You made it so that I couldn’t pay attention. You guys. The Bertain family, I mean.”

Cook, cook.

Gernom stabbing Carlchad’s chest with his finger.

Looking closely, I saw that Carl Chad was watching with a bubbling expression.

“… I’ll deal with them right away. Please stay quiet for a moment.”

“Huh? If you want to make me quiet, you have to show me results quickly. Hmm… Okay, let’s cut off that tutor’s limbs. ”

Gernom pointed at Luke.

“Aren’t you curious to see what kind of expression Elin will make? Her limbs fall off and her body just rolls around―”

Kwaaang!

Elin threw the rock next to her at Gernom.

Swish-

Calchad swung his sword lightly and split the rock.

“Ahh… You’re already making that kind of expression.”

Even as he was hit by a piece of stone, Gernom looked down at Elin with a loving expression.

“If you say that one more time, I’ll tear you to pieces.”

Elin glared at Gernom with a distorted face.

“Wow, I’ve heard this a lot. Oh, right. That’s what Bertain always said. If I had torn it to pieces back then, I wouldn’t be here now. ”

Gernom chuckled and tapped Carlchad on the shoulder.

“What are you doing, Kalchad? Elin is tearing me apart?”

“… … ”

Calchad raised his sword without saying a word.

“Coming. Everyone get ready.”

Everyone tense up at Leo’s command.

If it weren’t for Elin’s spatial magic just now, I would have been swept away in an instant by the sword storm.

He might cause another disaster with his sword.

But I vowed to block any attack.

Sigh.

Carl Chad thrust his sword into the ground.

It didn’t seem like he had given up on the fight.

Because darkness kept rippling in the swordsmanship.

Leo was watching to see what on earth he was trying to do.

“… below!”

I kicked the ground with a chilling sensation.

Jeokjeok-

The earth splits apart.

Crunch-!

Black energy rising through the gap.

It shatters the ice into countless pieces, destroying the ground under its feet.

My ankle almost got cut off.

The battle with Calchad was no longer a contest between inspectors and inspectors.

It feels like you’re fighting a disaster with the power of the devil.

Woof-

“Is everyone okay?”

Luke extended the barrier downwards, creating a new floor.

Kuung-!

Even now, the dark energy rising from below wanted to devour them.

In the end, I couldn’t break through the barrier.

“Tsk.”

Carl Chad, who clicked his tongue lightly.

Pull your sword out of the ground and prepare for your next attack.

Everyone standing on the barrier felt it at the same time.

You shouldn’t let me swing my sword like that.

“Must pour out!”

Leo took the initiative with a shout.

* * * * *

Kaang!

Leo’s Dragon Sword and Kalchad’s mutated sword clash.

Carlchad tried to break it with force like last time.

Crunch-

“You got a nice sword. It’s not worth it.”

“Shut up.”

Dragon’s teeth are the hardest material on the continent.

Even a sword with the power of a devil could not be easily broken.

When Carl Chad was locking swords with Leo.

Phagecic-!

Nia, who has lightning wrapped around his staff, and Watt, who has gathered electricity into his pole, jump in.

Although they had never exchanged words, the two battle mages shared the same thoughts.

“Haat!”

“Sigh!”

Focus on one point.

Phage crackle-!

A lightning bolt aimed at the heart rips through the sound and rushes in.

I had to pierce his back like this.

Kyaang-!

“… … !”

It was blocked in vain.

“You don’t have to be holding a sword to stop it.”

Kalchad’s invisible sword blocked the attack coming from behind.

“Ann!”

“Sister, now is the time!”

Of course, it’s not that I didn’t assume there would be a blockage.

Phage, phage, phage!

The largest lightning discharge that can be emitted.

While Carlchad’s body was shocked.

Phew-!

Anne jumps up and kicks Carlchad in the face with her reinforced foot.

Phew-!

The water grenade fired by Cherel lodges itself in the ship with a cannon-like sound.

The moment I thought I had entered the right place.

“That’s not even funny.”

A very calm voice flowed from Carlchad’s mouth.

“Huh… .”

The whole group was about to retreat when they realized something was wrong.

Kwaaang-!

They were all knocked out with a single blow from a simple swing of magic.

In an instant, I was one-on-one with Leo again.

Kagagak-

Calchad pushed Leo away, emitting a blast of magical power.

The plan was to cut it down if there was even the slightest opening.

The only ones that Gernom wanted to save were Elin and Luke.

It doesn’t matter if you kill the rest.

however.

Kang-

Leo was the first to lose strength.

A gap that is too wide.

Carl Chad was rather suspicious.

There’s no way Leo would make this mistake….

“Cough… !”

My throat is sore.

A chain made of a solid material.

The culprit was, without a doubt, Elin.

But when?

The whole time Kalchad was holding back Leo, he was keeping Elin in check.

The most dangerous person here was Elin, who had lifted the curse.

There certainly wasn’t any time to cast magic.

“Cool… Is this how you do it?”

“Teacher, you are truly a genius.”

“… … !”

I realized this after hearing the conversation coming from below.

Luke Bucklin.

I thought it only maintained auxiliary magic and barriers.

I received mana from Elin and used it to cast magic instead.

And you learn it on the spot!

Although he did vomit blood as a side effect of the hasty treatment, it was only a small amount.

“Kreuk… .”

The magic that had regained stability began to tighten around Kalchad’s neck.

It was because Elin increased her magical power output through Luke.

“Ugh, so extreme… … I think you should stop… !”

“Trust me. I can do a little more, sir.”

Luke, who played the role of the middleman, was dying.

It feels like someone is forcibly opening my mana heart and overcharging it with magical power.

It would have been better to have received payment for the contract.

“Ugh… !”

Elin looked at Calchad, slightly increasing the output.

“How long did you think I was going to be hit by you?”

Carlchad was breathless and couldn’t even answer.

“… We were just the same people.”

Carl Chad was also human.

Even if you borrowed the devil’s power, you were a human who couldn’t breathe if your respiratory system was blocked.

He was no longer an object of fear.

They are just impurities that interfere with the happy daily life you spend with your teacher.

Elin ordered with a blank expression.

“End it.”

Leo grabbed the Dragon Sword and ran towards it.

Phew-

Digging into Carlchad’s heart.
