Episode 213. Abnormal Party (2)
A dark horde crossed the sea and trod the forests of Alighieri.
They too, 300 years ago, were the ones who caused tyranny in the territory of this empire and caused thousands of casualties.
They claimed that among the spirits, they were particularly hostile to humans, and that they saw a future in which this continent would be destroyed by humans.
To prevent that, they reduce the human population. Even if it means sacrificing their own lives.
Even now, the purpose has not changed.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve set foot on this land.”
A man stepped onto land, shaking off the water from the shore.
He was surrounded by a dark aura, and a large number of spirits followed him behind him.
“How are you feeling?”
The man spoke friendly to the menacing looking spirits behind him.
Among them, a dark spirit in the shape of a giant bat knelt in front.
“We too are deeply moved, our King.”
A bat-shaped spirit that lowers its head to the man.
He was none other than ‘Drachma’, the highest spirit of darkness.
Each Spirit King always has two top spirits who serve as his right and left arms.
Then we could guess who the man Drachma served was.
“Would you like to take a look and see how much has changed while I was away?”
Crogyri, the Dark Spirit King.
With each step he takes, a huge darkness appears like a footprint.
Even though he was an avatar modeled after a human body and not the main body, he surpassed the highest spirit next to him.
“Your Majesty, I have something to tell you.”
Then a black lizard crawled out from under the shadow where he was standing.
The lizard, standing on two legs like a human, had its mouth and nose covered with a dark aura.
And the sight of him equipped with a black-purple sword on his waist reminded me of a ninja, an assassin from an eastern country.
Like Drachma, the highest spirit that protects the Dark Spirit King Crogyri. Raysher.
“What’s going on?”
When Crogi asked, Raysher responded immediately.
“Have you heard the news about the Spirit King of Life?”
“Are you talking about Shaikhar?”
“Yes.”
I remember. We were like brothers who were born on this land together and maintained the balance of the spirit world.
Shaikhar chose to defend this land until the end, but Krogiri for some reason became hostile to them.
This is because the dark forces borrowed the power of the Shinsoo Millennium Tiger to see the future.
It was a future where the continent was destroyed due to the atrocities of humans.
That was the reason why atrocities were committed in this empire 300 years ago.
“Shaikhar, I’ve heard rumors about that guy. He clearly said that his adopted daughter was murdered by humans, right?”
“Yes. After that, he cut off all ties with humans and went into seclusion in his own territory.”
After that, all contact with all forces was cut off.
It was heartbreaking as a brother, but it was also incredibly stupid.
“That’s why I told you not to trust humans.”
“It seems that the future we saw that day was accurate.”
To prevent that future, the Dark Spirit sought to slash half of the continent’s population.
Countless archmages and warriors tried to stop them, but they only resulted in thousands of casualties.
In the end, the Great Sage, unable to stand to watch, ended up banishing the entire dark elixir.
The dark spirits could not come out of their territory because of Dantia’s barrier.
However, the person who broke the barrier was the current emperor, Carmine.
For some reason he was against Dantia’s ideas, and for some reason, it was a good opportunity for Crogyri, who was in a hurry for a year.
“But how could the Emperor break that barrier?”
“surely…”
The emperor easily broke the Great Sage’s barrier, which no one had been able to break until then.
I felt relieved, but at the same time, I felt uneasy.
I decided to think about that later after I changed the future.
“It’s already happening.”
As expected, a large number of soldiers were blocking the dark spirit’s advance.
The one who appeared and led this was Princess Mirona, the current student council president of Alighieri.
“As expected.”
Crogiri laughed at the sight.
There may be a difference in power, but a more accurate reason is that it is a scene seen from the predicted future.
So, the spirit legions were deployed in advance.
As the dark spirits and soldiers fought and fought, he spoke to the princess.
“I will give you a chance. If you leave this place right now…”
Choaaaak!-
The princess ignored his words, drew her sword, and slashed at him.
Although Crogiri was able to deflect the blow by striking with the back of his hand, a cut mark remained on the back of his hand.
“indeed…”
It wasn’t for nothing that he stood alone in his tracks.
Despite being a student, he possessed powers equal to or greater than those of the Knight Commander.
It was clearly something he was born with.
What was even more surprising was that this talent had not yet fully blossomed.
“If you look closely, someone comes to mind.”
The great sage had a disciple.
There were many people who wanted to become a disciple and those who called themselves such, but I had seen with my own eyes the disciples she had personally taken in.
“No, there are almost no two people who are exactly the same.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s too bad to kill him.”
The question was put on the back burner.
At Crogiri’s gesture, two top spirits jumped out from behind.
Drachma and Raysher. They charged quickly towards the princess.
Even though a sonic boom erupted in the aftermath, the princess reacted to the two’s surprise attack and blocked it with her sword.
Boom!-
The flapping of wings and the clash of swords create a loud noise.
But Mirona’s expression distorted after being blocked once.
Even though it may look small, the opponent is a top-level spirit.
Bam!-
“Ugh!”
Drachma bit Mirona’s neck like a bat.
He savored the taste of blood and said as he looked at the racer who was about to rush in from the side.
“Don’t interfere. If you interfere, I’ll lose my appetite.”
“Tsk.”
Although it was an unfortunate thing to hear, Raysher didn’t scold him and just stayed still.
Because he decided that there was no need for him to get involved anyway.
“Why on earth?”
“huh?”
“You guys too, and the people too. Why are you so anxious because you can’t eat people?”
For Mirona, the Magic Banquet was the first festival she had ever experienced in her life.
I did my best as student body president not to let those huge expectations ruin me.
Sometimes I stayed up all night and got scolded by the executives.
I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.
It was an inner peace that I had not found in a long time.
After this one, I don’t know when it will come again.
`I just want to be honest.`
Life in the palace was frankly scary.
It was to the point where it wouldn’t have been strange for him to unconsciously swing his sword anytime, anywhere due to excessive pressure.
I just wanted to throw it all away.
I wanted to transfer the status of princess to someone else.
For her, the Alighieri Academy was a flower garden where she could face hardships.
When I heard that there was a force trying to destroy that academy, my body trembled.
I was screaming instinctively.
That force must be stopped immediately.
“Why are you so impatient?”
Drachma blasted Mirona away with the power of his wings.
She was overwhelmed by the force. Realizing this, Mirona landed and wrapped her sword in aura to the maximum.
A drachma flying at a speed that surpasses the speed of sound.
He fired a devastating blow that reached the sky just in time with his approach.
“Why, why?”
The drachma that held the sword by the sole of his foot.
Even though the clouds in the sky were clearly split in half, Drachma was still holding onto his sword despite being hit by it.
He suppresses the sword that is shimmering with aura with his own magic power.
It was no different from an ordinary person touching the river of lava and feeling fine.
Dismissed!-
He grabbed the bat’s toes and shattered the sword.
Mirona’s expression distorted in shock at that fact.
Soon, numerous tentacles stretched out from Drachma’s body and restrained her.
“Instead of killing me, I will take your blood.”
“Kuaaaaaaah!!”
A red liquid began to flow like a hose from the pitch-black tentacles.
I felt the pain of having my life force sucked out of me, but I didn’t have the strength to struggle.
I was so lethargic.
The strength I had gained in preparation for this day was insignificant.
I couldn’t even be a match for him.
Lyman, what would he do in this situation?
Now I was starting to lose consciousness.
“Finish it quickly and follow me.”
“All right.”
It was just as I had seen in the future.
No matter how talented Miro or the princess were, they could not do anything in front of the highest spirit.
There was no such thing as a variable.
As expected, the future is only heading towards destruction.
Nothing changes except what they do─
Sliced!-
At that moment, wind magic flew in and cut off all the tentacles.
Drachma, surprised by this, stepped back, and two mysterious people who suddenly appeared supported Mirona.
“What are you guys!?”
One was a knight in armor.
Although he appears to be the Knight Commander Lutis, his true nature is that of Sprite, the highest spirit of life.
“I will judge the evil that wriggles in the gutter!”
The other one was a girl of small stature.
The girl, who looked like an elementary school student to anyone who saw her, was wearing a fox-like mask and striking a strange pose.
And then he spouted out some childish lines that didn’t make sense.
“The Egg of Slaughter! Appears!”
Wheeing-
A cold wind blew.
“…?”
『…?』
The dark spirits, including Crogiri, collectively made shit-eating expressions.
Where the hell did those bastards come from?
And what about those kids’ childish declarations like plays?
He’s really a kid though…
“uh…?”
Mirona barely opened her eyes and was able to recognize the girl’s identity.
“Senior Mary?”
“Mary? This is the first time I’ve heard that name. I am a ninja of slaughter! I am the fox masked lady!”
“….”
As always, Senior Mary is the same now as she was then.
Even in such a serious situation, he does not hesitate to commit all kinds of strange acts.
But what should I do?
Should I join this game?
That was the time when I was thinking about it for a moment.
“I don’t know what it is, but just wipe it all out!”
The dark spirits are advancing towards us.
The soldiers who had been blocking them eventually reached their limit and were forced to give way.
But something else appeared on the side and began to hold them back.
Surprisingly, they were spirits belonging to the Shaikhar realm.
“what!”
“Why are these guys here!”
The dark spirits were greatly taken aback by the unexpected reinforcements.
Among the spirits of life that suddenly appeared, a giant turtle spirit cried loudly.
And on that shell was a person riding.
“Mr. Shaikhar! Is this enough?”
“You’ve adapted a lot now.”
“Of course. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me.”
The person who brought these spirits.
Totema Endhole Papyrus opened his mouth in delight.
He was once a prince and had exceptional spiritual sensitivity.
Although he was blocked by his father, he was able to hone his talents in Shaikhar’s domain after the train incident that day.
To the extent that he showed up leading such a large army.
“Okay, go!”
The Life Spirit Legion and the Dark Spirit Legion clash with each other.
The situation, which had been numerically and physically inferior, was reversed in an instant.
It was a good thing, but Mirona didn’t understand it either.
But let’s put that aside for later; now was the time to capitalize on the situation.
“You’ve lost a lot of blood, my lord.”
Senior Mary reaches out to Mirona.
Although he spoke in a strange way, I was grateful just for helping him.
“I don’t know what it is… but thank you so much.”
“From now on, we will walk the battlefield of judgment together as comrades. Each and every one of us is precious to each other.”
Merai, who had raised Mirona, handed something to Mary.
That was the fox mask Mary was wearing.
“You are now a member of our assassination squad!”
“yes…?”
“The symbol of our assassination squad. Although our name is bloody, we fight for the freedom of mankind!”
At that moment, Mirona had this thought.
I think that if Senior Mary debuts as a novelist, it will be a success on a continental scale.
I wonder if you’ll be offended if I don’t fit in with this play.
“Oh, I see.”
In the end, Mirona had no choice but to wear a mask.
At that moment, my body began to feel energetic again.
It felt like I was regaining the blood that had been taken away from me a little while ago. And the sincerity of someone who had made it was conveyed through the mask.
This feeling was like… my mother’s touch.
“Kill them!!”
“Kill me… Kill me!”
Miro, who started shouting out a strange slogan out of nowhere.
“Stop this nonsense!”
Then, Sprite, who was engaged in a battle with the dark spirit, struck from afar.
“And your maid! No, your maid! Take this!”
Sprite, who had fixed the front part of his horse, took out a sword and threw it at Mirona.
The holy sword Rosaria, locked in a pure white sheath.
The moment she caught it, Mirona’s heart started pounding.
Thump!-
‘what?’
Once you grab it, it sticks to your hand and doesn’t come off.
No, to be exact, it felt like my hand and the sword were completely fused together.
The moment I grabbed the handle, every cell from my fingertips to my shoulders felt excited and jumping around.
It felt like I was excited to meet a friend who was supposed to be dead.
`I’m so used to it.`
What on earth is this creeping sense of foreboding?
It felt so familiar, like I’d swung it hundreds of times before.
Could this also be a form of talent?
This situation, this sword that I suddenly got my hands on, everything was full of questions.
But Mirona unsheathed her sword without realizing it.
Srrrrung-
A bright red sword greets Miro.
A red sword that looks like it was dyed with melted roses.
Mirona found herself shedding tears without realizing it.
“….”
The Holy Sword, Rosaria, was covered in dew, as if she was shedding tears.
“Ha, I’ve got a new sword!”
The drachma flew towards Mirona just as it had done a moment ago.
Even if you change weapons at a point where you are outgunned, you will be no match for them.
Shaaaak!-
But something amazing happened.
Drachma’s wings, which had been proudly creating sonic booms, were cut off.
『Eww!』
Speed and cutting power beyond comparison.
Even Miro herself, who achieved it herself, was surprised.
A cool yet solid feeling in your hand.
Shaikhar, who was watching, quietly muttered.
“It’s been 30 years.”
While the crowd was amazed by Mirona’s powerful strength, Mary was also fighting against the dark spirits.
And then I found a lizard-like racer.
“Are you a ninja like me?”
『Ninja?』
The highest spirit, Raysher, tilts his head.
Mary looked at him with serious eyes, as if she was in resonance with her own kind.
“I don’t know what it is, but it would be better for the kid to disappear.”
“Hehehe. Kid? I guess I’ll have to show you what I’m capable of.”
At that moment, Raysher felt goosebumps.
The overwhelming pressure from Mary sounded a warning signal.
『You… what the heck…!』
Horns sprouted.
It was a horn that was definitely reminiscent of a demon, but it wasn’t just any demon.
Raysher, the highest spirit, could feel it.
Adversary.
『The Demon King Who Will Bring Down the World…!』
Why are you helping humans?
Then Mary opened her mouth and raised the corners of her lips.
“You are mistaken about two things right now.”
“what?”
“First, I may be the Demon King, but I will not do anything that will ruin the world. I plan to use this power for righteous purposes.”
Because justice is born from evil.
“And secondly, this is your biggest mistake.”
Wings sprouted from Mary’s back.
“Where on earth do you see me calling you a brat?”
The awakened Demon King’s creepy threats were heard.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“This is ridiculous.”
Crogiri foresaw all the future and arrived in this land of Alighieri.
The humidity and wind speed I felt when I stepped onto the sea were also as expected.
It was expected that the princess would block them.
“But what is this situation…”
This is a situation that will not occur in the future.
A kid wearing a fox mask jumps out, an army of life spirits intervene, and Princess Miro and the princess get their hands on a holy sword they don’t know.
And the most unexpected one was the Demon King.
`That’s right. That’s exactly the same aura I felt from the Demon King 300 years ago!`
The future is completely wrong.
A series of ridiculous variables came crashing down.
All this time, he had been sharpening his sword, believing in the prophecy that the continent would be destroyed because of humans.
But when the prophesied future went wrong, it all felt like it was being denied.
`Who the hell… who the hell…!`
Who created this variable?
* * * * *
“huh?”
My ear suddenly feels itchy.
Who is talking about me?
I rubbed my hand against my clothes while digging my ear hole.
‘Mary must have gone into battle by now.’
Disguised as Enviel, I was controlling the people of the Vladimir School.
It was like eating cold porridge to make them stop attacking.
Because everyone acts like a fanatic at Envy’s one word.
‘As expected, it wasn’t a magic school, but a cult.’
The Suin guys were still running wild, but they could be subdued by controlling the school members.
And thanks to receiving 20% of Lyman’s magic power, no one doubted my strength.
As expected, it’s comfortable! It’s comfortable!
‘by the way…’
I looked at the fishing line tied to my wrist.
The blue glowing fishing line was shaking more and more.
‘Don’t hesitate, Jenny.’
It’s almost time.
Surviving as an Academy Fraudster
