Chapter 75

Xian fell helplessly down the cliff. He looked down as the wind brushed his cheek.

Down there, bubbling hot lava could be seen flowing.

The hot air rushes up.

Even now, when we are still far away, the heat seems to burn us.

The burn scar on his shoulder, which he had carved by talking to Yeomno when he was young, throbbed.

“Ravi!”

“yes!”

First of all, I fell and tried to distance myself from him, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get stuck in that lava.

At Xian’s signal, Ravi nestled into the sword and changed into a secret sword.

A long light rust-colored sword blade and a white cloth attached to the end of the handle.

However, no matter how long the blade was, it could not reach the cliff.

“Ugh!”

Ravi puts on a blueprint and tries hard to fly.

However, the ability of the big sword was not strong enough to fly with one person.

“Ugh-!”

Ravi grunted and twisted his body back and forth, but the rate at which the cyan fell did not slow down in the slightest.

However, it was possible to move little by little in the air.

Xian grabbed the big sword and threw it towards the cliff.

Receiving more momentum from that, Ravi flew toward the cliff with all his might.

Pak!

She was barely able to drive her sword into the wall before she fell into the lava.

He looked up, hanging dangly from the big sword stuck in the wall.

At the top of the cliff, in the space where he had just been.

The sky was breaking apart.

It felt instinctive. space collapses Expelled from this world, the soul returned to the body.

[…] … .]

The demon dragon king watching himself from the top of the cliff.

The shell of Andras, where it descended, was almost completely destroyed. The limbs are twisted, the intestines are muddy, and the head is melted.

There is no longer even a human form left.

However, at least one eyeball remained to watch Xian.

But soon, even those eyeballs turned to powder and disappeared.

At the same time, the presence that filled the space disappeared as if it had been washed away.

“Whoa… … .”

Cyan let out a sigh of relief as he dangled dangling from the big sword driven into the cliff.

At the same time, the broken space completely collapsed.

Eventually, when he came to his senses again.

The infirmary’s unique, spicy scent of medicine greeted him.

* * *

A little later.

– That way! Move some stuff!

-Wait a minute! Busy here too!

Xian raised only his upper body from the bed in the infirmary and looked out the window.

It was full of various busy workers.

There were those who moved the corpses of Lizardmen and Wyverns, and there were cleaners who cleaned things dirty with their blood and flesh.

And even the carpenters who came to fix the collapsed buildings and facilities.

“As expected, that guy… … .”

“okay. They say you are the high mage of the Dark Magic Tower.”

Two people were sitting next to Xian’s bed.

Allen, who is listening to Sian about what happened with Andras.

“Now, here.”

“thanks.”

“Uh, uh. I will eat well.”

Erze, who came to visit with fruit, naturally took a seat on the side and was cutting fruit and serving it to Xian and Allen.

As Erze went to the corner of the infirmary to get a car, Allen asked Xian softly.

“are you okay? Can you hear me?”

It will be about the black magician.

Xian nodded.

“uh. I got caught up in something during the field trip.”

“okay?”

Among the high orcs, there was one who received the power of the devil, and Erze took care of it alone.

After that was over, on returning to the academy, he had told Erze about the Warlock and the Dark Magic Tower.

Hiding their existence in the first place is the matter of high-ranking officials, including the Marquis.

From Xian’s point of view, there was no reason to hide it.

“Anyway, you mean the bad guy came in?”

“omg!”

Allen was startled by the sight of Hergé, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and handed over the teacup.

When did you come so quietly close? Didn’t you feel anything?

Allen calmed his trembling heart and awkwardly thanked him.

On the other hand, Xian was naturally accepting a cup of tea from her.

Recently, there was not much awkwardness between the two, as they had often served tea and were treated.

“That’s how it is. They say that he tried to rob the artifacts in Vigo by causing a rampage.”

“Huh… … After all, you came here to steal. Oh right. Xian, can’t you call Ravi for me?”

Erze reacted as if he was not very interested, and asked to call Ravi.

“Ravi?”

“I’ll hang out for a bit while you guys talk.”

Were you two friends? Xian answered shyly and called out to Ravi inwardly.

‘yes!’

The answer was yes. After confirming that there was no reluctance through the engraving, Xian called Ravi and gave it to Hergé.

“Ravi~ Do you want to try this?”

“yes?”

Ergé smiles as if she is cute and pulls out a sugar cube from the table and seduces Ravi.

Ravi quietly approached as if on guard, bit into a lump of sugar on the table, and began to nibble on it.

He was so absorbed in eating that he didn’t show it on the outside, but the thoughts he conveyed were full of satisfying feelings.

After taking a glance at the two, Xian turned his gaze to Allen.

Allen asked.

“Then, did that Kaeln or the captain of the defense belong to the Dark Magic Tower?”

“no. It looks like he stole the body of the garrison commander.”

“Take your body?”

“They say he had that kind of ability. Eliminating the souls of others and putting their own souls into their bodies.”

“… … What a terrible ability.”

Allen’s face hardened.

It was a mind-boggling ability just by hearing it.

What if you lose your body? So what if he harms the Kruger family with his body?

It’s not just about your own body.

It is possible to steal the bodies of close people and attempt assassination, or to steal the bodies of those in important positions and strike the back of the family at the decisive moment.

The same is true in this case.

Didn’t he steal the body of an important person called the captain of the defense and enter the center of this academy without suspicion?

Then he suddenly asked a question.

“Then you and that guy collapsed at the same time… … .”

“It was a trick to steal my body. Then you can escape without being suspected and, if you’re good at it, you’ll be able to stay at the academy.”

“but. Didn’t I say its purpose was the academy’s remarks?”

“I’d rather stay if possible than just run away.”

I still don’t know if it was his personal actions or what, but a member of the Dark Magic Tower was aiming for the academy’s remarks.

This information was well put into Allen’s head.

Knowing the enemy’s purpose was fundamental to fighting.

“The Dark Magic Tower… … To steal Xian’s body… … .”

Meanwhile, the eyes of Ergé, who was playing by poking Ravi on the table, shone eerily.

Her eyes have turned red since that day.

Those eyes, which had been warm and gentle just a moment ago, were now filled with gooey heat.

“yes.”

Before I knew it, Ravi ate the whole sugar cube and begged for another.

Only then did Erze shake his head and come to his senses.

She took another sugar cube from the bottle and gave it to Ravi.

“Ooh!”

“cute… … .”

Erze gently stroked Ravi’s head as he gnawed at the sugar cube.

Trying to get close to Ravi was actually the intention of wanting to get closer to Xian, but even if that wasn’t the reason, Erze couldn’t hate Ravi at all.

What girl would hate such a lovely spirit!

“It’s High Mage… … . Is the high mage of the Dark Magic Tower capable of shaking up the academy? … .”

“In this case, it was more of a problem with the devil behind him than with him. That heavenly eye.”

“Ravi, would you like another one? Then this time… … Come on, climb on the palm of your hand.”

“yes!”

Four people, no, three people and a spirit spent time in the infirmary talking to each other.

A scene from everyday life. The outside was still undergoing restoration, but the incident was over anyway.

Andras, who invaded, died and disappeared, and the Demon Dragon King left.

Aborted trials will probably resume after the situation has calmed down.

However, it was not an end problem for Xian.

‘The Demon Dragon King.’

The overlord of hell who set his eyes on making himself an apostle.

It would be fortunate if he gave up and wiped his hands, but the possibility of that was low.

I don’t know when I’ll be able to walk the trick again. Maybe it’s ‘I’ll get rid of the bar that won’t be mine’.

I couldn’t tell or guess what he was thinking.

So, you have to grow even faster.

‘I felt like I was being caught.’

Xian looked at his own palm.

While fighting the Demon Dragon King, I felt like something was passing by.

At that time, that moment when I spread my aura to clear the space he occupied even a little bit.

If I could properly recall what had passed then, if only I could take it as my realization… … .

smart.

Then he heard a knock that broke his thoughts.

“Sorry for the sudden. Can we talk for a moment?”

Seeing the old man open the door and come in, Xian, Allen, and Ergé’s eyes widened.

“President?”

The one who visited the infirmary was Everwhale Academy’s president, Geomno Zerech.

* * *

The headquarters of the Purification Church located in Somer.

It was midday with the sun high in the sky, but the main hall where she was sitting was strangely dark.

The sunlight coming through the stained glass was colorful, but there was no place other than that, and the stone statues of heavenly gods and gods enshrining them were decorating the interior, exuding a strange sense of coercion thanks to the dark atmosphere.

Pamela Drake.

As she knelt down and prayed, she slowly half-opened her eyes.

“Are you here?”

She talked even though no one came in, even though no one was listening.

But there was definitely someone listening.

[The Demon Dragon King snorts.]

[I lament her foolishness, asking if she is still praying to the author of God.]

Dragon King. It was here that he arrived after leaving Everwhale.

“It’s not really like praying. I was just practicing.”

Pamela was unmoved even though her deity was treated like an idiot.

A statement that would be impossible as a priest of the Purification Church.

She hides it as much as possible in front of others, but she is aware of it. I can’t really believe in the existence of that god.

That’s why her sister Shamilla, not her, must have been nominated as a saint.

had no complaints about it.

She is not interested in the position of a saint, who is sold here and there and works like the face madam of the church.

What she is interested in is the more practical side.

She asked the Demon Dragon King while wearing the sword and armor with the church’s pattern leaning on one side.

‘Did your trip go well?’

[The Demon Dragon King leans his chin and tilts his head.]

[They say that they have failed, and that they have never been anywhere near primitive magic.]

Pamela snorted at the Dragon King’s answer.

‘I knew it would. Didn’t I tell you that you don’t need to listen to the wiles of that senile old man?’

[The Demon Dragon King says he found something good.]

‘Good things?’

Pamela left the main hall with her head twisted at the words of the Dragon King, which is hard to hear.

The clank of armor echoed through the room.

“Ah, sister!”

“Shamilla.”

As I left the main hall, I happened to run into my cute little sister.

Pamela gently received her as she ran up to her skirt and jumped into her chest.

If you don’t care, you might get your forehead hit by the hard armor.

said Pamela with a wry smile.

“Shamilla. If you want to become a saint, you have to walk around with a little more dignity.”

“lol. I’m sorry, sister!”

Pamela stroking her brother’s hair with a soft smile.

However, it didn’t take even a second for her face to harden.

[The Demon Dragon King laughs, saying that he found a child he wants to make an apostle.]

Pamela’s hand stroking Shamilla stopped abruptly.

‘… … Are you saying you’re going to bring in other apostles even though I’m here?’

[The Dragon King scoffs at you, saying that you seem to have begun to see your limits lately.]

‘… … .’

Pamela hugged Shamilla, preventing her from seeing her face.

Holding Shamilla in her arms, who knew nothing about her sister’s hug and only liked it, Pamela’s energy boiled over.

A young knight commander who took the position of leader of the Sacred Knights at this age thanks to his natural talent. The chief knight of the Purification Church.

And, the first and only apostle of the Demon Dragon King.

Pamela Drake.

‘What’s the child’s name?’

[The Demon Dragon King answers.]

[Sian Agrid.]

‘Agrid… … .’

she murmured.

“I must go on a pilgrimage.”

“A pilgrimage? I want to come too!”

“Would you like to?”

She spoke to her brother and smiled kindly.

However, her insides were distorted with dark emotions that didn’t fit the title of a holy knight at all.
