chapter 50
50. No, I was also caught.
For a moment, the panicked body was calmed by the wind.
I quickly realized that levitation magic was too cost-effective to cast on many people.
It was a wise decision since Azmode couldn’t come because of Everin.
“Eh, El? That one?”
“Oh no way…”
Those who landed on the ground whispered.
Ladia knew El’s face at a glance, but the others couldn’t believe it.
She had nothing to say, even if it was someone else.
If a person changes just because he cuts his messy hair, is that a human being?
However, El’s appearance was beyond human.
“El, you’re all right!”
Ladia was held in her arms as if she were reunited with her ex-lover.
“Thank God, it seems it’s not too late.”
“Are there any scars? More than that, why is the hair…!”
Embarrassed G-Gren and Luna Elliott upset that everyone found out about her little El.
“…You’ve changed a lot. A person has changed just by getting rid of the hair covering his face.”
Everyone had different thoughts, but even in an emergency situation, they burst into admiration for L’s appearance.
“I’m fine with my worries. Can you see that pig?”
He pointed to Azmode with his hand.
He was fighting Evelyn with an ugly apron and drool.
“If you stay here, you will all be eaten by those demons.”
“You’re right. But we haven’t saved all the students yet. Student El, haven’t you seen Galihad?”
“…Galihad already.”
I shook my head.
Gren realized the meaning and let out a sigh.
‘Actually, I’m not dead, but what if I became a demon… Since I gave up being a human, let’s count it as dead.’
Could you think of coming to the academy as a demon?
Besides, it’s a problem for a guy with such an inferiority complex to come back. Also, it’s obvious that he’ll act as a villain.
“Then let’s go back. We can find the body of the Galihad student later.”
“…That’s kind of hard.”
“Why?”
“Isn’t there a dragon fighting a pig over there?”
“…?”
“Actually, that dragon is my friend.”
“Yes?”
The helmet on G-Gren’s armpit blinked red eyes.
“Come to think of it, he rode that dragon. What the hell did you go through here?”
G-Gren has bad memories of the black dragon.
I lowered my eyes in fear at the memory of being crushed by the soles of my giant feet.
The good thing is that it is completely different from the black dragon I met then.
Should I say that he looks like a child?
I didn’t feel old and accustomed to war at all.
L made a troubled expression.
“There’s no way to explain it other than that it just happened.”
“…Okay. Just looking at that splendid appearance right now, it seems like there are so many incidents. For now, that demon is more dangerous, so let’s put off talking about it for later.”
Gren noticed El’s trouble at a glance.
“There may be inevitable sacrifices in order to kill that demon, so I and Teacher Luna. I’ll start with just the two of us. I don’t think it’ll be that difficult if we borrow the power of the black dragon. Rather, we might bring glory to the future of the empire. I will.”
I shook my head.
“It will be difficult for the two of you. It’s not that I don’t believe in Miss Luna’s divine power and Professor G-Gren’s skills, but I know that pig better than anyone else. I’ll help too.”
“…I’d like to say no, but I don’t think you’ll listen.”
“Wait, what about my opinion?!”
Luna Elliot, who had been dragged in unintentionally, wept.
“Don’t you know that your holy power is essential. Health teacher Luna Elliot?”
“…That’s right~ I was joking! All of that, of course I’ll follow you!”
As G-Gren looked at her with fearsome eyes, Luna smiled awkwardly while sweating.
A party formed quickly.
A few more students followed.
“We want to help too.”
They were Lydia, Leatis Penrose, and Isabelle Altair.
Gren shook his head.
“We cannot take responsibility for safety. We do not want any more victims.”
“Professor G. Gren. We are warriors before we are students of the academy! Even if we are afraid of death, we cannot stay behind others forever.”
Leatis took the lead.
G-Gren eventually backed down against their firm will.
“Okay. I’ll be in the front, everyone in the back.”
***
‘Damn it, it’s not easy.’
Yves Lynn flapped her huge wings and ascended.
“Meat!!! Corrupted dragon! You’re here again to disturb my breakfast! I can’t take it anymore!!!”
Boom!
The huge body rises like a balloon.
Azmode, stung like a bee, attacked with a speed suitable for bombing.
‘The pig has a body!’
The most terrifying reason for Azmode is its ‘physical ability’.
It digests everything it eats and gains almost infinite speed, strength, and stamina, and transforms into the most powerful being among the leaders.
But Evelyn is also one of the leaders who protect Mortal.
Especially when transformed into a ‘dragon’, its ability is maximized.
Support Support.
A huge current moves.
The demons created by the gathering of two powerful demons gather into one place.
“Magi! Is that annoying Magi again!”
Magic is an energy substance that the entire demon can handle, but its ability varies depending on whether or not it can handle it well.
While Azmode invests everything in his physical abilities, he doesn’t handle Magi well.
“Kaak!”
It’s safe to say Evelyn is a genius at handling magic.
Everin, who had control over Magi, bound Azmode’s limbs as it was.
The black waves sway.
It overwhelms the thick neck.
Az Mode widened his eyes, not understanding.
“Fallen dragon! I don’t care at all about your tasteless meat! Why are you preventing me from eating that human meat?!”
“…Shut up if you don’t know.”
“Hmph! Just because I’m ignorant, you shouldn’t play with food! Kwaaang!”
Az Mode opened her mouth wide.
Her eyes, nose and forehead were distorted and her mouth wide open was like a sinkhole.
Kwajik!
It bites.
His arms tied.
Legs.
Torso.
Even up to the neck!
Bite almost anywhere and hurt yourself.
Everin frowned at the unreasonable behavior.
Azmod, which has become rags, is scattered on the floor. Magi is gone.
“Delicious! So delicious!”
“…A troublesome ability, after all.”
Grumble.
It eats and digests its own body.
As if that was enough, the torn body parts regenerated at a visible speed.
“The joke is over! Give me more meat!”
“You crazy bastard!”
It was time for Evelyn to prepare to fly again.
“That meat. I’ll feed you to your heart’s content.”
“?”
Everin was taken aback by the new voice.
“Gagging!”
It appeared suddenly.
The ice spear cut through the wind and pierced Azmod’s thrush.
It was an attack using the ‘Suri Rune Bracelet’ obtained from Professor Durahan.
Azmode, who was made up of extreme negative retardation, couldn’t move as if it was painful.
“L-sama!”
“Good work, Evelyn. Thanks for taking the time, we finished our conversation well.”
Leave it to us from now on… I want to say the same thing, but we were too weak to do that.
“What should we do now?”
“How do you do it? We’re going to catch the main culprit who ruins Mortal from now on.”
“The main culprit… Ruining Mortal?”
She nodded.
“Think about it. Azmode’s past actions. Are his actions really good for Mortal?”
Yverin pondered.
– Give it up! Food! Everything is mine!
– Garbage? No trash for me! Give it away!
– This place is so clean! I’ll have to dirty it up a bit! Fragrant with my body odor!
Azmode repeats a life of eating, sleeping, packing, playing and eating throughout the day.
By the way, it eats up everything, even saving sleep.
What a fuss later, when there is nothing to eat…
Azmode’s room was almost empty because the walls were bitten off.
‘Was there anything wrong with El’s words?’
The answer is, of course, No.
You can always be right. Besides, El is the one who has the ability to distinguish between truth and lies.
“Let me take responsibility. Azmode is about sacrificing for a greater cause.”
“Sacrifice for the cause…”
It was a heartbreaking statement.
In the end, Evelyn nodded.
“What did you say! You’re welcome to feed me!”
Azmod thumped as if he was angry.
The wound on his stomach had already healed for a long time.
“Of course it’s something to eat. Don’t be surprised after eating it.”
Support Support.
The demonic energy is overflowing.
The black water appears like a wave and attacks like a lion.
Azmode lightly avoided it as if he knew that.
“I didn’t expect you to say anything like four years! You’ve taken away all food from before! I can’t do it. You’ll definitely kill me right here!”
“Who cares?”
The same spear flies again.
Az Mode snorted and opened her mouth.
“Kang!”
The spear that went into the mouth never came back.
It was oxidized in the mouth and turned into water.
“This is the first time I’ve ever had such tasteless water! Wow!”
There was no frost to be found in the water that was spit out.
‘I don’t think it’s time to conserve stamina.’
I feel like I’m overdoing it a lot these days… But what can I do?
It was not the time to save energy.
I opened all the veins in my body.
