chapter 29
29 – Episode 29 Raid
The sky of the abyss is hazy.
under a gray sky.
An unpleasant damp wind blows.
It wasn’t long before they got out of the abyss.
I’m sure I could have gotten away with it in 3 days. But… the Ministry of
Magic was still walking in place rather than leaving the abyss even after four
days.
The manager gritted it.
“Damn it.”
He blocked the 2nd Deputy Director’s abdomen with his one remaining arm. Blood
leaks all over. The bleeding magic was obviously used, but the wound did not
recover due to the contamination caused by the black magician’s magic.
“Whoa… Manager…”
The second deputy director hesitantly grabbed the manager’s arm. There was no
strength in those hands. His eyes are gradually becoming blurry, indicating that
death is not far away.
“Don’t tell me.”
The manager said stoically. However, he was not the second vice director to keep
his mouth shut. He opened his blood-soaked lips little by little.
“You know… hopeless.”
I don’t know if the northern part was just pierced, but the organs inside it
were rotting due to demonic energy. The manager frowned.
They had to go through 3 bases to break through the bottomless pit. However,
there was an ambush at base 3.
Information leaked somewhere.
The black magicians’ pursuit was tenacious. They appeared again and again like
cunning snakes.
Moreover, there were only six survivors, including the second deputy director.
Among them, the second and fifth vice directors are in critical condition.
It’s not strange even if you die at any time.
With these two, further escape is impossible.
If you stay in one place like this, it’s only a matter of time before you catch
up with the black magicians who are chasing you. I have to move somehow… but
the manager closed his eyes.
“Just go. Officer.”
The second deputy director smiled self-deprecatingly.
He had a feeling of his own death. There is no hope. The only hope to live is to
receive the blessings and healing of the High Priests.
cursed land. Most of the priests who existed in the bottomless pit were pagans.
The 5th Deputy Director helped the 2nd Deputy Director.
“That’s right, Administrator. Just go. We’re out of luck.”
The 5th Deputy Director burst out laughing. His laughter was powerless.
It was while the manager was chewing his lips.
Director 3 is back.
“Admin.”
“What do you think?”
Director 3 has been scouting the surrounding area. He spoke openly of what he
saw.
“The warlocks are in close pursuit. You must move.”
“Director 3.”
“Manager. You have to choose.”
The moment of choice has arrived.
the manager says
“Deputy Director 2. Vice Director 5. Tell me your will.”
The two deputy directors laugh and say their last words.
First, the second deputy director spoke.
“Chief. You know that one of my parents is there, right?”
“I know. Living with an old mother.”
“Please tell the mother that the son goes first and is sorry.”
“Yes. I heard that.”
The manager listened to the second deputy director, and now it is the fifth
deputy director’s turn.
The 5th Vice Director was not in danger of dying as much as the 2nd Vice
Director, but both his legs were torn off. He smiled pleasantly and left a will.
“I want to leave a will similar to that of the second deputy director, but
unfortunately, my parents are both dead.
“I get it.”
It was a simple advice. The manager, who had clearly heard, slowly approached
the 2nd and 5th deputy directors. The 2nd and 5th deputy directors laughed
happily as they saw the manager approaching.
“Please don’t hurt me.”
“me too.”
Those were the last words of the two of them. In an instant, the manager’s hand
took the two lives.
The officer closed his unconscious, blurry eyes with his own hands.
The caretaker snapped his fingers, not even thinking to wipe his bloody hands.
Circuit rises, flame burns.
[Burningfire]
He killed his surviving comrades, and burned their corpses to keep them from
being whole.
If someone saw it, it could be called cruel, but this was a funeral for dead
comrades who had been handed down by the Ministry of Magic since the days of the
Royal Guard.
The corpses of wizards are precious. Even more so, the corpses of battle mages
who fight in an unusual way are corpses that warlocks want to get their hands on
at all costs.
So if you can’t retrieve the bodies of your comrades from the field. Warlocks
burn the corpses of their comrades so that they cannot be desecrated.
“Whoa…”
The manager put a magic weed in his mouth.
Smoke billows up.
Smoke from burning corpses rose as well.
The manager looks at the burning flames for a while and then burns them out
quickly. I turned off the magic candle.
“Let’s move.”
The remaining ones are three directors, three deputy directors, and four deputy
directors.
The manager’s gaze goes far away.
“The goal is to get out of the abyss.”
I had no choice but to return the way I came in order to escape due to an ambush
at base 3.
So I looked outside again, farther away.
The surviving Ministry of Magic moved.
“Hmm…”
Watching Cadian leave the auditorium as soon as class ends, Stella recalls the
lesson.
First of all… let’s start with the conclusion.
“There’s not really a big difference between the classes.”
I explained a little more in detail than I did to myself, but there was no
significant difference.
“What difference do you mean?”
Chris, approaching before I knew it, heard Stella’s muttering and asked.
“There is such a thing.”
Chris didn’t ask any more questions.
When class was over, Stella, like the other students, left the auditorium.
Outside in the bright sunlight, Stella says goodbye to Chris.
‘It’s time to go back.’
Now, the time to go to the imperial palace has come.
“I’11 just go now.”
“I’11 see you next time at the imperial palace.”
“Okay. Chris, see you at the end of the year.”
“Goodbye, sister.”
The two siblings said goodbye warmly.
And… the two brothers who were a little far away.
“Brother. What is the alternative class?”
“And why?”
“Did you hear them talk? I heard most of them didn’t understand.”
“Yeah. But that’s not my problem, is it?”
Yohane clicked his tongue as he saw his older brother say that without spitting
on his mouth.
I put very mana alloy on my face.
“Anyway, I’m going.”
“I’m going?”
“I’ll go.”
Yohane waved his hand at his older brother who turned his back and was about to
leave.
“Okay. Well then, let’s go. It’s going to be a due date soon, so stop by the
parents’ house. You haven’t been there for 4 years already.”
“…0kay. I’m going, so don’t mess around at the academy.”
“Am I a kid?”
“If you’re younger than me, you’re a kid.”
After messing with my sister’s hair, I turned around without regret.
Now all that remains is to return to the system.
I turned on the communication port.
The light flashed, and soon it was connected.
[This is Director 1 of the Ministry of Magic.]
Director 1 received the communication tool that the minister thought he would
receive.
“Hmm? What is it? Why are you taking it?”
This is the communication link to the minister.
[Are you the Vice Minister? The Minister has now gone to the Ministry of
Information and I received it instead.]
“Is that so? Anyway, I’m returning to the system now.”
[Are you leaving now?]
“uh.”
[Are you from the academy?]
“yes.”
[All right. I will tell the minister.]
“Yes, good job.”
The line of communication was soon disconnected.
And after Director 1 communicated with the Vice Minister.
Another communication was heard for the report.
Another light comes on in the blinking communication sphere.
2.
“Did you get everything?”
I shrugged my shoulders at Her Highness’s question.
“There’s nothing to pack.”
All of the luggage in the dorm has been packed by attendants.
Only the body has to go like this.
“Let’s go.”
When Her Highness the Princess gave the order, the coachman led the carriage.
The horses roared and stamped their hooves.
you’re going back
I looked out the window of the carriage with a new feeling.
Black figures follow the fast-paced wagon.
“hmm. ..?”
Black person…?
I felt a familiar energy somewhere. I’m so used to it and I can’t help but get
used to it.
My fingers wriggle on their own. circuit comes to mind.
Mana was seething.
Sensing something strange, Crimson grabbed the sword.
Stella lazily parted her lips at Cadian’s bizarre attitude.
“What’s going on?”
“for a moment.”
I stuck my head out of the carriage.
That was the moment.
That is the mobility of the wagon. Without horses, the carriage cannot go any
further.
Because of this, the black figures aimed at the horses.
“Ugh!”
The coachman was surprised by the black figure that suddenly jumped out.
A sharp sword is about to pierce the necks of horses.
I opened the carriage door and kicked the ground.
Percussion!
Stones and clods of dirt spring up.
The body floated in the air and proceeded as it were.
I snapped my fingers. The stored magic circuit comes to mind.
There was no stockade. And there were no foreshadowings.
magic is activated
[Black Chain (chanak)]
charrr!
Chains made of mana soared. Chains ejected from the air restrain the black
figures.
The black figures fought back. However, it was too late to resist the magic that
was activated without any warning. Black figures whose limbs were restrained by
chains spread across the floor.
Awesome!
I turned my head at the sound of cutting in my ear.
There, Crimson was slashing the head of a black figure with a sword.
The carriage came to a safe stop.
The carriage the attendants rode in also stopped.
Stella got out of the carriage.
“Hmm. ..? It’s an attack.”
Yes. It was an attack.
Crimson’s expression hardened.
From far away… Unidentified assailants were coming.
no.
It is not identity unknown.
“The demons are coming.”
All of these guys had demonic energy in their bodies.
A disgusting smell stings your nostrils.
I snapped my fingers.
Dozens of circuits come to mind, and magic is activated at the same time.
