Chapter 191 - 36

The battlefield situation became even more dangerous due to the appearance of hundreds of thunder soldiers. They and the hordes of magical beasts blocked the Cirlus Kingdom soldiers and people from the academy who wanted to escape from the island.

"What's that!?"

"They don't look like monsters, nor do they look like humans."

"It seems to be the golden-haired man's skill."

The Cirlus Kingdom soldiers panicked at the appearance of the thunder soldiers. They've had enough trouble with the magical beast hordes, and now another enemy has appeared. This makes them even more depressed.

"The power of that creature cannot be underestimated. At least each of them has the strength of a grandmaster." Princess Cordelia said with a gloomy face.

"Hmm…it seems difficult to escape from this island now. The only thing we can do is fight that creature and break through so we can escape from this place." Merlick had not expected that the situation would suddenly turn unfavorable.

"You are right, Mr. Merlick. It looks like we have no other choice." Princess Cordelia agrees with Merlick's words.

"Attack them with your full strength! Pave the way for the academy students to leave this place!" Princess Cordelia ordered her soldiers. She was forced to obey his father's orders for the survival of the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom and the people of the academy.

"We got it!" The soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom answered in unison and attacked the thunder soldiers.

(I have to find a way to save father after the soldiers and academy people managed to escape from this island)

Princess Cordelia gritted her teeth and attacked the magical beast closest to her.

"Mr. Flavio. What should we do? Are we going to help the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom?" Beatrix asked Flavio. They haven't been given further orders from Merlick. They were hesitating whether to help the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom fight the monsters and thunder warriors or protect the academy students on their escape.

"Hmm… we'll split into two groups. The first group will help the soldiers, and the remaining group will keep the students from escaping from this island." Flavio gave his opinion as the interim leader of the group of teachers while Merlick was absent. He watched Beatrix and the other teachers' reactions to make sure none objected.

"I, Christoff, Reid, and Alvis will help the soldiers while the rest will look after the academy students. do you agree?" Flavio asked Beatrix and the other teachers. He deliberately chose male teachers to help the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom and female teachers to look after the students.

"We agree with your plan." Beatrix and the other teachers looked at each other then nodded. They thought it was the best plan to carry out at this time. While discussing their plans, Flavio and the other teachers heard a scream behind them.

"Aaaaahhhh!"

One of the Cirlus Kingdom's soldiers was scorched when he attacked the thunder soldiers. After that, screams after screams rang in the ears of Kalya and the other teachers. The soldiers of the Cirlus kingdom fell one after another.

"What's that? The creature cannot be attacked with physical attacks! Besides, fire, earth, and lightning elemental magic did not affect them. The water element will only make things worse. If we attack, then we will be burnt like them. What should we do?" Flavio's face darkened after seeing the situation of the Cirlus Kingdom's soldiers. He didn't expect the thunder soldiers to be so troublesome.

"How do we defeat that creature?" Beatrix mumbled and thought of a way to overcome the thunder soldiers. The other teachers also fell silent, thinking about defeating the creature.

"Maybe we can use the ice element? Or maybe seal it?" Ashley gave her opinion. He also still wasn't sure the way she said it would work.

"We have to try it right away to see if it can kill them or not. For now, we will stick with our previous plan. We will help the soldiers, and you will take care of the students. We're leaving now!" Flavio quickly reorganized their plan. Although the abilities of the thunder soldiers were unexpected, that didn't mean they couldn't be defeated. Flavio and the other teachers would figure out how to beat the thunder soldiers while carrying out their plan.

After that, Flavio and the other teachers were divided into two groups and did their respective tasks. They tried to avoid the thunder soldiers if there was no need to have a pointless fight with the creature. But when those thunder soldiers got in their way, the teachers were forced to fight them and try the idea they had talked about earlier.

On the other hand, Princess Cordelia had a hard time fighting off several thunder warriors at once. She coated her sword with ice so she wouldn't get burned when she came into contact with them.

"Damn! Are they immortal! Why do they keep on regenerating after I was slashed!" Princess Cordelia could be heard grinding her teeth several times. She didn't use her water element for fear of hurting the people around her because the thunder soldiers drained electricity from his body, and the water would only aid the electric shock from them. Princess Cordelia has been at a loss since the beginning of the fight because of the heavy rain. Due to the wet ground, many soldiers were accidentally electrocuted and died.

Those thunder soldiers quickly regenerated when they were cut. Even if Princess Cordelia stabbed them in the heart or cut off their heads, the thunder soldiers would return to their original state as if Princess Cordelia's attacks had never hit them.

Princess Cordelia looked at the situation around her. Instead of her soldiers making way for the academy students, they died because of those thunder soldiers. Princess Cordelia tightly gripped the sword in her hand. She couldn't just watch her soldiers die one after another.

Princess Cordelia also saw the heroes fighting with the thunder soldiers, and their situation was the same as hers. They couldn't kill those thunder soldiers.

Princess Cordelia suddenly remembered something, and then she looked around to find someone. She finally found the person she was looking for. The people she's looking for are Clara and Princess Iris. But right now, there is someone else with them, namely Princess Irene. She wasn't with Prince Viron because his brother chose to be with Merlick and didn't want to fight. Princess Cordelia saw that the three of them were having a hard time fighting a thunder soldier but, a red snake seemed to bite the thunder soldier's leg. Not long after, the thunder soldiers turned into light particles and disappeared.

Those thunder soldiers were a skill from Fornius to manifest a form of his divine lightning power. Meanwhile, where did his lightning power come from? In other words, the thunder soldier was a dense pool of mana that had turned into golden lightning and shaped into a human figure. They couldn't die as long as Fornius was supplying them with mana. Ziel returned the thunder soldier to his mana form by removing the skill that Fornius had used. Because of that, the thunder soldiers became mana particles and disappeared.

(What!? Why did he defeat that creature so easily! He killed it without even glancing at it! Why do I feel the difference in our strength is so big!? If he can beat them, he should be helping the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom!)

Princess Cordelia was shocked and angry at Ziel. She thinks Ziel should help her soldiers so they don't have to die by those thunder soldiers. But Ziel ignores them and only helps people he knows. It provoked anger in her heart. She suddenly thought of a plan in her head. Then she approached Princess Iris, Princess Irene, and Clara.

"Ah, Princess Cordelia!" Clara was shocked when Princess Cordelia suddenly approached them. She was acting like that because she felt tense from the previous fight.

"Is something wrong, Princess Cordelia?" Princess Iris is calmer than Clara. She felt that there was something Princess Cordelia wanted from them. Meanwhile, Princess Irene did not dare speak and could only hide behind Clara.

"I need the help of the three of you to defeat the thunder soldiers so that the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom and people from the academy can escape from this island. can you help me?" Princess Cordelia asked not only Princess Iris but also Clara and Princess Irene.

"Eh? Aren't you wrong to ask for help? We are just academy students. You should have asked the teachers for help." Princess Iris and the other two girls became confused by Princess Cordelia's request. They thought there was something wrong with what she said.

"No. I'm not wrong to ask for help. I'm sure you can help me. No, only you can help me. I want you to fight those thunder soldiers with me." Princess Cordelia said seriously to Princess Iris and Clara.

"That is… I'm not sure if our power can help you. However, if you trust us, then we will do our best not to disappoint your expectations." Clara answered Princess Cordelia's request doubtfully. Even though Princess Cordelia said seriously, they knew the extent of their power. Even against one thunder warrior, the three of them were overwhelmed.

"Thank you for being willing to help me! In that case, we will ask someone else for help!" Princess Cordelia said excitedly.

"Uh, anyone else?" Princess Iris thought that only the three of them that Princess Cordelia asked for help. But it turns out that there are still others who will fight alongside them. Princess Cordelia goes with Clara and the other two girls to where the Thunder Soldiers gather. The goal is Princess Freya and Princess Aishia. Apart from the two of them, Lilith was also there.

Princess Cordelia said the same thing she said to Princess Iris and Clara. After talking for a long time, she finally convinced Princess Freya and Princess Aishia. Lilith also came with them because she was in charge of protecting Clara secretly.

After gathering the girls, Princess Cordelia went to the battlefield with the largest number of thunder soldiers. She wanted to use the girls to force Ziel to eliminate Fornius' thunder soldiers. And the plan worked perfectly. Ziel killed all the thunder soldiers around the girls. Clara and princess irene are confused about why the thunder soldiers died because their attacks on the creatures were not fatal. In contrast, Lilith and the other girls know the cause.

Princess Cordelia tours the battlefield taking the girls to eradicate the remaining thunder soldiers. She didn't know that what she had done helped Ziel take care of Clara and the other girls because they were gathered in one place, and Ziel didn't have to share his senses to look after them separately. Even so, princess Cordelia will receive punishment for what she has done this time.

Meanwhile, Fornius is still not aware of what is happening on the battlefield because Ziel kills his thunder soldiers one by one so that Fornius doesn't notice.

"Hahaha… what do you think the king of the Cirlus Kingdom? The soldiers you wanted to protect died one by one in front of you?" Fornius smiled broadly at the expression on King Raghnall's face. He purposely killed the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom to make King Raghnall's plans go to waste. After all, without Fornius doing anything, King Raghnall and his soldiers would not escape from that rainy area.

"You! What do you want!? If you want King Redis and his family, you can take them, but you have to let go of my soldiers and the academy people!" King Raghnall gritted his teeth. He felt hopeless and didn't know what else to do. The enemy they were currently facing was too strong. He hadn't even been able to land a single strike that could injure Fornius.

"What are you saying, King Raghnall!? What about the agreement we have made? Do you want to cancel it unilaterally!?" King Redis was angry after hearing what King Raghnall had said. He felt King Raghnall had sold him and his family for the safety of the soldiers and people of the academy.

"To hell with that agreement! If I knew it would be like this, I would never have accepted your request!?" King Raghnall replied to what King Redis had said in a higher tone of voice. He wasn't happy that King Redis looked like a victim in this matter. They both argue and finally forget the existence of Fornius.

"Shut up!!" Fornius' screams echoed throughout the island. He frowned as he sensed that something amiss had happened on the battlefield.. After looking around him, Fornius finally realized that most of his thunder soldiers had disappeared.
