Chapter 281.2: Cursed Item

Chapter 281.2: Cursed Item

Fortunately, the Magic Academy has barriers around it. It doesn't seem like there has been any damage outside yet, but with that size, it is only a matter of time.

And at that moment, the sky suddenly darkens, and a tornado mixed with blocks of ice forms in the center of the schoolyard. It is a large-scale offensive Magic.

That is Lucia-chan's Hailstorm. (Sytry)

The tornado became huge in a blink of an eye and hit the Black World Tree attached to the tower. The sound of the wind roaring. A tremendous roar resounded as if something hard was being chipped away. The Magi's who had been crawling on the ground desperately clung to the ground to prevent themselves from being blown away by the aftermath.

The World Tree that received the advanced offensive Magic had its body chipped awayAnd became huge. And it was not my imagination.

!? It is Growing!? (Sytry)

The large wound was gouged out, closed up, and then swelled up. The main part is so swollen that it can be seen from a distance. Apparently, that tree wasn't always that big. What is that Umhh.

Haaaaah, Lucia. I can't believe you watered it like a plant. (Cry)

It is fire, fire. A plant's weakness is fire, surely. Well, but Lucia is best at Water Magic after all.

The ivy was wrapped around one of the research towers. Even after countless attacks, it still clings to the top of the tower, as if it was adamant to cling to it. The tower was *mishimishi* creaking due to being constricted by countless ivies. Apparently, that World Tree really wants to break someone's laboratory. Is there something there? Then, at that moment, a huge fireball rained down from the sky and cut through the dark clouds.

Seriously, why is this happening! (?)

A hoarse voice sends chills down my spine. It is the burning Baa-san. The burning Baa-san came to help! Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu) appears while cloaked in explosive flame. Behind her were many Magi with the symbol of Hidden Curse (Ma Tsue) following her. Looking closely, you can see that for some reason, Kruz and the others are also present.

One of the best Clan of Magi in the Imperial Capital. Without hesitation, the Members of Hidden Curse (Ma Tsue) entered the premises, raised their wands in unison, and launched their techniques. Flames, light, and wind flew into the World Tree under the dark sky. Needless to say, the one who leads the charge is that Baa-san who is letting out crazy laughs.

She is a hundred times scarier than the Black World Tree I feel like I will have a nightmare about it tonight.

Fuhahahahahahahahahaha! Burn, burn, burn! Burn to ashes! (Rosemary)

It's bad, I feel like burning to ashes.

I unintentionally hid in the shadow of the building. Fireballs were raining down like meteorites. I don't understand why that Baa-san would learn such a dangerous technique. The hot wind even reached us from several hundred meters away.

Won't she blow up the Academy if she makes a mistake?

She is completely pissed off Isn't she? If I recall, she said she couldn't stand to see something she couldn't burn. (Sytry)

I see Now I know why she hates me. (Cry)

I am really scared that one day that Baa-san is going to break through the Barrier Ring. You seriously need to make it clear if you lost your edge or not!

I hear that Baa-san's laughter echoes through the air. Lucia's Hailstorm put down the fire that has spread to the school building. Lightning flashes in the dark clouds and the World Tree grows rapidly. And a large crack appears in the tower. I have no idea how the building can still maintain its shape.

A huge magic circle emerges on the ground surrounded Hidden Curses (Ma Tsue) Magi that was spread out. Maybe sensing the danger, the ivy of the World Tree, which had been tightening the tower until now, swelled up and attacked them all at once.

And just when that Baa-san was about to raise her staff in the airThe World Tree *pitari* suddenly stopped growing.

The World Tree that was facing us was moving restlessly and purple flowers bloomed from the tip of its ivies. Even the ivy that was trying to destroy the magic circle stopped in mid-air and showed no sign of moving any further.

Heeeeeh So the World Tree can bloom. It wasn't written in the book.

Sytry *pyon* jumped and hugged me excitedly.

I-Is that it! Is it possible that you are going to give this to me! Cry-san! I think I can make a great potion with it! (Sytry)

Begoooooooooooone! Hellfire Blade! (Rosemary)

Ahhh (Cry)

Her staff was swung down without hesitation. Countless fire swords shot from the magic circle pierce the World Tree and burn it fiercely.

The purple flames instantly engulfed the entire tree, instantly turning the World Tree, which had been impervious to any attacks earlier, into ashes.

Thanks for reading! In Cry's book, burning a tree is just how a tree photosynthesizes. He really lives in a different world than mere mortals! And here I thought that creating a second World Tree was Cry's plan, but looks like it was too mainstream so he called Rosemary to burn it to cinder.
