Chapter 235

Velbrok Subjugation (3)

― Kee eh eh!

There is no business in front of the quantity.

Velbrok’s monster summoning pattern was not originally designed to be destroyed.

At the end of the scales being cut and the leather torn off by the swordsman Taylor McLaure... This is a stroke pattern to stop him from climbing up his body and trying to stab his heart.

There is only one way to break this pattern.

Rather than defeating all of the demon tribes, it was about defeating the body of Velbrok and sending back the summoned demon tribes as well.

In other words, defeating the crowd of monsters does not mean that we can see the end of this disaster.

In the end, it means that this calamity will end only by defeating the Velbrok, who is dragging the giant chain in the high sky.

– Whoa!

The blade of the rising wind swept through the monsters on the way to the Trix Hall.

I was frowned upon because it consumed more magical power than I expected, but for now, the first thing to do is to clear the road.

The hill road leading to the Trix Hall. As we proceeded along the road, cutting down all the gremlins that were filled there, the school uniform was already stained with dark red demon blood.

However, there are no major injuries to my body. If the combat ability is not affected, it can be restored.

After the low hill road was over, I got off Merylda’s back and ran up the wooden stairs, and the Trix Pavilion caught my eye shortly after.

[ ...here, you seem to have done a big job? ]

Merylda, who returned to the human form and landed on the ground, saw the sight of the Trix Pavilion and left her impressions.

The Trix Pavilion, which had always stood tall here in a well-groomed appearance, had half-destroyed the outer right side and the roof area.

In addition, the area around the road leading to the lobby was already covered with demon blood and corpses.

No matter how large a group of monsters, in fact, it would not have been possible to break through the Trix Hall, where the key personnel of this Sylvania Academy were working together.

I sprinted across the corpses and entered the huge glass door.

The huge lobby of the Trix building, which I have been to several times, is spread out directly on the first floor. However, it is a bit different from the usual scene where various faculty and visitors were busy going in and out.

Broken glass fragments were scattered here and there, and broken chairs and furniture rolling on the floor made the landscape look like ruins.

On the counter or on the side of the seat were several unconscious faculty and staff, some of whom had already lost their lives due to severe bleeding.

When the monsters swept past him once, he could not escape. Even if it was a place guarded by executives, it did not mean that there were no casualties. This is because the monster attack was so sudden.

[It’s quiet. ]

“Ayla and Taylor went looking for the sage’s seal, so there’s a good chance they’ll be on a higher floor.”

I watched the battle trail without stopping my fast pace.

The traces of the huge sword strike embroidered on the wall are the marks of the swordsmanship ceremony no matter how much you look at it. Here, Taylor had a battle with the demon tribes once.

That’s weird. So where did all those faculty and staff go?

In fact, it is not surprising that not a single member of the officers of the Trix Building, which constitutes the head of the school, has been seen. At best, I can only see a few corpses that have been attacked by monsters.

I went straight up the stairs to the upper floor. I went up to the second floor and ran across the hallway, then went back up to the third floor and ran and looked around, but I could hardly see any real human beings.

Still, it’s strange that there’s no one in this building at the center of the administration of the Sylvania Academy.

It was the moment I went up to the 4th floor.

– Bang!

Finally, I was able to discover the human form.

The 4th floor of Trix Building, where office and conference facilities are located. Among them, from the side of the main meeting room, there was one person who sprinted out the door.

Perhaps he had already been injured a lot, and he was staggering while holding his side. If you look at the side you are holding on to, the bleeding is already serious.

Was it due to Velbrok’s magic or the demon tribe? I decided to run straight down the hallway and help the survivors. Because I had to inquire about what happened here.

“Hey, uh, uh... Student, what’s going on here? In this... situation...”

The moment I saw it up close, I could immediately recognize who the survivor was.

Her white hair was neatly rolled back and tied up, the wrinkles and nasolabial folds on her forehead that show the passage of time at once, and her eyes that looked serious but sharply protruded.

It was the assistant principal, Rachel Taislin.

“Vice-Principal. How did you get hurt like this?”

“Are you... the 3rd year Principal, Ed Roth-Taylor... huh...”

A quick look at my face recognized me, and Rachel looked back at me. It was as if he was being chased by something.

“The situation outside... can you report what the situation outside is now?”

“It doesn’t have to be a long explanation, it will be exactly what you expected. For now, we are holding on to the students and some influential people.”

“Yeah... First of all, go to the furnishing room... now go to the furnishing room...! I have to go there first...!”

Vice-Principal Rachel hastened my steps. There’s no way I’m being foolish, so I headed as fast as I could to the furnishings room in the corner of the fourth floor, supporting Rachel.

Anyway, the furnishing room itself isn’t that far away.

“What’s going on at the Trix Hall? There is no instruction from the top management, so the students and outside faculty are in great confusion.”

“We also convened right away in the large conference room to establish a course of action. But... in the middle of the meeting... I broke in...”

“Did you break in? What do you mean?”

“Me too... it’s hard to believe even when I see it with my own eyes...”

Was it that even a demon tribe broke in?

However, no matter how powerful a demon tribe is, if they fall in the middle of a conference hall where executives and staff are gathered, they will be horribly killed right away.

This is because the executive teachers of the Sylvania Academy are all strong men who are called nerds.

Even if they raid a place where such people gather, it would be difficult to achieve meaningful results.

“It’s all been beaten. Chief Dean McDowell, Combat Dean Stan, Alchemy Dean Edelweiss, Senior Professor of Monster Ecology, Flevin, Senior Swordsman Instructor, Floun, Senior Elemental Professor Melina... They’re all in a state of immobility right now. Principal Obell is probably... the first...”

“Are you saying that even Principal Obel was beaten?”

At that moment... a huge amount of magical power erupted from the meeting room where he had escaped.

The huge magical power that attacks his back is both quantity and type, but it is also unique.

A huge amount of dark red magic that covered the surroundings. It’s... it’s not magic that’s used to use normal magic. It was a special kind of magic called ‘Aspect Magic’.

That amount is not unusual.

Even Professor Glast, who is said to have reached the deepest depths of Aspect magic among living beings, was unable to exert such concentration and amount of Aspect magic. A far greater amount of Aspect Magic than using normal high-level magic was trying to cover the hallway on the 4th floor of the Trix Building.

It was the eyes of a maniac who had been buried in one place for a long time, and eventually lost his mind.

Rachel jumped from her seat and asked who the hell are you.

― Kaa

Velbroque’s screams, like scraping metal, pierced the skies of Aken Island once again.

After hearing the sound, the girl who appeared in the center of the conference room turned her head for a moment and looked at the window. There, a scene unfolds as if a disaster had arrived.

The roar of the holy chang dragon that cuts through the sky, the hordes of monsters attacking the ground, the dying people, the burning forest, and the collapsing academic buildings.

Seeing such a sight... Eventually, the girl raises her voice.

— Kahak.

― Kak kak kak kak kak kak kak kak kak! Kahahak! Kahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

A bizarre and creepy laughter followed.

The sight of his upper body hanging down and his bizarre movements as if breaking his body and making a laughter sound... just looking at it made the chatter cool.

Rachel frowned and gathered her magic power.

It was the moment when the other professors, who were still in good shape, got up and tried to subdue the girl.

—When I closed my eyes for a while and then opened them, the scene of the meeting room, which was covered in blood, was right in front of me.

The girl didn’t spend less than 10 seconds smashing all the top-notch professors even in the Empire.

*Ayla opens the last page of the Sage’s Seal.

Then he picks up the book as it is, and shows it to Ed.

There... Unlike other neatly written contents of the book, there is a message written as if it was urgently added later.

The message on the last page, as if scribbled with a quill pen, is in Sylvanian handwriting.

If you need content, you can add it to the content of the book.

However, as if I had suddenly thought of it in the distant future, the words added to the last page... It seems to be a message to someone regardless of the contents of the book.

I don’t know why I wrote such a message in the book, or who wrote it for viewing.

From Aila’s point of view, it was not clear whether there was any reason for writing this sage’s memo.

Because Ayla could not interpret the contents of the text itself.

However, it is unusual that Sylvania, who studies everything systematically and efficiently, has written a hasty message at the end of this book.

It may have something to do with all of this situation where Sung Chang-ryong is turning Aken Island upside down.

That’s why, Ayla asks Ed in the midst of this urgent rush... He is a human who can use Aspect Magic, so I thought he might know something more.

can you read this To Ayla who asked that question... Ed was speechless.

“This....”

Sylvania Robester began her career as a linguist, born into a family of translators.

Ancient runes, Ain languages, official languages of the Empire, Northern languages, Eastern continental languages, and even tribal languages... Language is just a process of redefining many patterned rules for her.

No matter how unfamiliar it is, she can master it in an instant with her extraordinary brain.

To what extent did she, who had reached the climax of the zodiac magic and twisted the providence of the world, have seen?

By increasing and increasing the amount of magical power, what kind of world did you observe?

The answer to that... was attested in the language of the quill pen on the back of this sage’s memorandum.

“This is... Hangul...”

“yes?”

The Encyclopedia of the Sage is a legendary magic book that has not yet been fully deciphered.

So, even if the last page had an obscure phrase added to it... Everyone didn’t even care. Because it was an unknown area where the contents of the other text had not been fully interpreted.

I took the book from Ayla and read down the words written down with a quill.

*You who survived.

I know the life of you, who lived your life as a friend of death and loneliness, better than anyone.

He is also well aware of the dark past, where he pours alcohol with the starlight as a friend, portrays the departed comrades, and turns his eyes away from reality.

I know well that my dogma will make you hard and painful at times.

Nevertheless, I have no choice but to bow my head and ask.

The deeper you reach for the spirit-eating elemental magic, the more clearly you can see it.

There are more days when the madness that is slowly coloring my heart whispers the darkness to me.

Still, I can’t keep my hands off the Aspect Magic... because I can’t accept a future that’s just endless darkness.

I believe there is an unseen future beyond the cliff.

We believe that we can survive to the end and move beyond it.

But, if I can’t stand it before I get to the end.

If you end up being eaten by madness and become a human who can no longer see the future...

– Kwaang!

Through the locker room window, Vice-Principal Rachel can be seen falling away from the Aspect Magic. Vice-Principal Rachel, who was bleeding profusely... soon collapsed.

Then, a girl wearing a robe appears into the hallway.

Slowly, white hair flows down between the shoulders of the girl with the robe hat down.

In the portraits, the hair, which was always neatly tied back, is loose and bald.

A bizarre laugh blew out, and the corners of his lips rose up near his blood-stained cheeks.

His eyes are so flat and insensitive that it makes you goosebumps when you look at them.

“When the time comes, please kill me. If you want to survive.”

After reading the last line, I slowly turn my head to look at the window of the furnishing room.

The girl standing there— took the same shape as Merylda to the point that it gave me goosebumps.

– Kaa

Once again, Sung Chang-ryong’s roar of fire broke through the skies of Aken Island.

The disaster that has come is still ongoing, but...

It was very different from what I was experiencing.
