Storm(3)

Skadi looked up at the sky.

Usually, the Milky Way was visible over the blue sky, so it was the sky I liked.

But now it is covered in darkness and filled with demonic beasts.

Looking at the shattered sky like broken windows, Skadi said to Claire, the captain of the guard team next to him.

“What about enemy power?”

“One top-notch monster, ‘Omen,’ five top-class monsters, ‘Reaper,’ and thousands of other combat objects.”

“You’ve been very determined.”

One superlative and five advanced.

It is not a lineup capable of commanding thousands of combat objects.

If so, one purpose.

They have come to use this opportunity to wipe out Helios.

“What about support?”

“The new weapon they used… they call it ‘Abyss’. Because of that, they can’t access it from other dimensions.”

“Huh…”

Skadi’s eyes scanned the boundary of the broken dimension.

Magi pulsated whenever the glass tubes plugged in here and there shone.

The reason why you can’t approach from the outside dimension is all because of that wavelength.

“In this situation, I can’t even get help from the elders.”

“Yeah. That’s it.”

Not only the glass tube, but also the Omen are holding out and blocking the dimensional wall.

If this is the case, it will be difficult for the elders in the outer dimension to descend.

“By the way, the head of Deneb can do guard work in a place like this? Commanding the battlefield?”

“Deneb runs well without me. It’s originally like that.”

Claire grinned, putting on the helmet that was on her arm.

“I have to be good at my guard job here.”

“Huh… Then take care of the other professors and Reapers.”

“How about Professor Skadi?”

“I have to take care of him.”

Omen and the glass coffin.

As of now, Skadi was the only person with enough power to reach that thing in the sky.

“Would it be dangerous?”

“I’m in the 9th circle. Even if the situation wasn’t like this, I would have been promoted to the ‘Arc Wizard’ right?”

Arc Wizard is a title given to wizards who have reached the 9th circle.

It was a level just below the 10th Circle’s ‘The One’, and was in fact the highest title a human could receive as a wizard.

“Leave that to me.”

Of course, it’s not without risk.

No, it’s incredibly dangerous.

The opponent is a top-notch magician. It is a Witchbeast with power comparable to that of a Constellation.

Even though he is in the 9th circle, he is an opponent who feels excessive compared to Skadi, who is still only in the beginning.

‘But I can’t run away, can I?’

Below are the students to keep.

There were other professors, but they were too few in number.

Besides, there were many who were far from fighting, as is often the case with professors.

It was difficult for them alone to make up for such an overwhelming power gap.

“You’ve always felt this way on Earth, right?”

He who ended the war once must have spent the same time every day.

Compared to that, this is nothing.

Skadi flew into the sky.

Magical power formed on both of his outstretched hands, and the sky was covered with 9th circle magic.

*

A fire burns in the wilderness.

The hunters march with a shout, and their swords cut the demons and fall.

On the overturned battlefield, the allied forces had succeeded in driving back the Witchbeast.

I saw the Ripper collapsed at my feet.

The man whose bones were shattered was literally on the brink of death.

“Clack, cluck, as expected, the adversary of the Witchbeast, is this the ‘preparing god of death’…”

“There’s nothing wrong with the upper class.”

“Cluck…”

He just laughed like a madman.

They said their purpose was to keep me away from Helios, so the plan itself was a success.

“Hmm···.”

I reviewed the battle with the ghosts.

These guys have the characteristic of being a ‘spiritual body’ that ignores a significant part of physical force, and used annoying tricks like ‘black magic’ or ‘curse’.

Skills that are similar to magic, but use magic to create more devastating effects.

It was possible to deal with it because the magic and mechanics were similar, but because of the various types of skills, it was quite difficult to deal with.

“You were a nuisance. You.”

Annoying.

My evaluation was just that.

I didn’t feel threatened while fighting.

Perhaps because he had recovered a significant portion of his strength, it wasn’t as difficult as the previous ‘Aragos’.

However, is the only mistake that it consumes a lot of stamina and mana because the rank is the same as the rank?

It seemed like it would be too much to deal with several seniors.

“Professor Yujin Kang!”

At that time, a hunter jumped from behind.

It was the commander here who introduced himself as Peter.

“What.”

“Contact with Helios… has been lost. Warp coordinates are currently unavailable.”

“·······.”

Loss of contact and loss of warp coordinates.

What this means is clear.

The detached unit that carried out the diversionary operation used a glass tube.

“Cluck… ‘Omen’ has gone there.”

“·······.”

“You lost. Shinigami…”

Is the last mental victory?

It was hard to listen, so I shot him in the skull with a revolver.

A bullet filled with holy power shattered his skull.

Amidst the shattered bone fragments, the creature’s last dying words were scattered bleakly.

-Everything is for Baltazar-nim…

“… tsk.”

Is this their last will?

Even on Earth, dragons died crying Diablo’s name when they died.

I don’t know if it’s still the same now that I’ve broken his skull, but there were many times when the loyalty of a witch beast couldn’t be compared to fanaticism.

“Well… what should I do? If Omen really went, Helios’ situation is very serious.”

“What is Omen?”

“…The highest rank of the ghosts. One of Commander Balthazar’s henchmen.”

is it top notch

It’s a tough opponent.

Up to the upper level, I also caught a lot, but the top level was a tough opponent even for me in my prime.

In fact, all the pentagrams came out to catch one of the highest-level dragons.

“Um… what should I do?”

“Peter.”

“Yes!”

I asked while holding the gun.

“Where is the frontline that is currently struggling?”

“Yes···?”

“I asked where the front line of struggling is.”

“Ah…that’s the dimension of ‘Zeffern’ and ‘Selena’!”

“Get ready. I’ll go there.”

“Yes, yes…!?”

The embarrassment that comes back is quite loud.

understanding goes.

He lost contact with Helios, but he must have been taken aback when he said he was going to a completely different place.

“Hey, what about Helios…”

“Helios will call us soon.”

“You called… you said…?”

“yes.”

There is Skadi in Helios, and there is Inspector Claire.

Also, there is the ‘glass tube’ that I left behind.

I have already done the calculations before coming here.

They will soon be calling us beyond the dimension of Helios.

“The current war situation.”

“Uh… After 500 hunters using the rotating body kit, most of the pushed wires were recovered.”

“Get everything ready. We’ll move.”

It may sound irresponsible, but I had an idea.

All preparations have been completed.

one thing i have to do

Until they call me, I’m going to organize as many battlegrounds as possible and gather all the forces that would have been stuck there.

“I’m going to pick up Roshua and Laflis. Move.”

*

Helios was full of students who had collapsed from Omen’s mind attack.

Most of them are struggling and moaning in the trauma, but there were some who woke up early and took care of their classmates.

Those who majored in Mathematics.

They had already completed the defense against mental attacks once, so they quickly broke the illusion and woke up.

“Uhh… it still sounds like a goal.”

“Ummm…but I think I’m very fortunate to have attended the professor’s class.”

Ensia and Cynthia clutched their dazed heads and groaned.

Although the aftereffects are severe, the two were also among the students who woke up from their illusions early on.

It was a markedly different skill than before, when she cried or failed to escape.

“Sinni. Do you remember how you woke up?”

“No…? But I feel very refreshed.”

“Yeah. So am I? It’s really amazing…”

Unlike before, the memory after waking up is hazy.

It seems like he had a change of heart inside of him, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.

At the two of them, Estelle, who had been walking ahead, flew in.

“You two. Stop talking and help.”

“yes~”

“Yes···.”

The three, along with other awakened majors, led the students to the Capella Pavilion.

Those who woke up with difficulty were supported, and those who did not wake up were forcibly awakened by Estelle burning the nightmare with the torch.

It was a rather violent method, but now I couldn’t afford to wake each one gently.

“Did you move everything now?”

“Yeah, I guess.”

No one gets caught in the ‘search’ anymore.

The students let out a sigh of relief.

At least the professors at Capella Hall will protect you.

It’s not something you can really put your mind at ease, but it’s probably safer than outside, which has become a battlefield.

“Then let’s go.”

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Estelle left the Capella Pavilion.

As she left, Cynthia and Encia followed, startled.

Seeing the three leave, the other students panicked and stopped them.

“Oh, where are you going! It’s dangerous!”

“You saw the professor announced.”

Kang Yoo-jin announced that if possible, head to the Pleiades Hall, where his laboratory is located.

The glass tube that is there.

It was clear that it would be the key to breaking the current situation.

However, the road will be full of monsters, and it is difficult for an average student to break through.

In Great Mathematics, only the top three people, including Estelle, could do that.

“It’s okay, guys! I’ll be right back!”

“Um…don’t worry too much.”

After all, there is no one else who can do it without these three people.

It’s because they are the three most talented anti-mathematicians in magical warfare.

The remaining students had no choice but to see them off.

“But is it really okay?”

“Are you talking weak now?”

“But oh~ there must be a lot of monsters on the way!”

Encia smiled and said, but she didn’t look too anxious either.

It’s because I have a vague confidence that if the three of us gather like this, we’ll be able to do anything.

“Magpie. You focus on my recovery.

I’ll take care of the rest.

After declaring that, Estelle took the lead.

However, unlike before, the stride matched with the other two.

A garden located between the Capella Pavilion and the Pleiades Pavilion.

Estelle, crossing between them, pulled out a revolver.

‘What would a professor do?’

if that person

No matter how desperate the situation is, I won’t panic.

No matter what enemy stood in his way, he would have cleared his way with a single shot.

Carelessly, but faithfully creating a path.

That was the professor Estelle knew, Yujin Kang.

-You will get ahead of me.

Kang Yoo-jin’s words I heard one day.

He had said he would outrun him with Estelle.

But that’s not the case now.

Now, it’s time to look at his back and run.

Before Estelle surpassed Yujin Kang, she wanted to be like him even a little bit.

Blazing-

The torch formed the shape of a hat.

It was similar to the one Yujin Kang wore, but with a more antique appearance, she wore it tightly over her head.

She loaded her revolver and aimed it at the woods.

“come.”

The protruding Demon Beast aimed at the three and charged.

A low-level demon, ‘Ghost’.

It has no special ability, and it has the power to ignore about 10% of physical force as a lower spiritual body ability.

Estelle, who recalled the information in an instant, pulled the trigger.

The bullets entwined in the torch pierced the Ghost, and it was instantly engulfed in flames and reduced to ashes.

“Wow… Even the ghosts turn to ashes in one shot…”

Ensia muttered in awe, but Estelle’s battle had just begun.

I can feel the signs of the Witchbeast from all sides.

Estelle, who scattered ‘Search’ in all directions, read all of their locations and attacks.

bang! Taang!

The muzzle spewed fire, and the Witchbeast collapsed.

Amidst the brilliant flames of the torch, ashes scattered along with screams.

It was 100 shots without wasting a single shot.

“Eh, Estelle…the gun shoots really well…”

“I practiced.”

Yujin Kang said.

To shoot well, you just have to practice.

So Estelle also practiced.

everyday. an hour in front of the mirror.

Now, to Estelle, a gun was a weapon she was familiar with.

“It’s the Pleiades coffin!”

Perhaps thanks to the distance itself, they were able to reach their destination, the Pleiades Hall, in no time.

However, there were many witches around.

Estelle raised her hand as she looked at the twenty-something Ghosts.

“Magpie. Restore me.”

“Yeah~”

“Baepsae. Get those guys attention.”

“yes···!”

Ensia raised her holy power to charge Estelle’s magical power, and Cynthia took out a dragon dragon from her chest and flew it towards the beasts.

“Yong-yong. You’re following my words.”

-Piruru.

Yong-Yong Lee, who flew forward, opened his mouth in front of Ghost.

What flowed out of his dainty mouth was a simple masquerade, roughly ‘what are you doing here’.

Although it was brief, it was enough to embarrass the Ghosts who were only low-ranking.

“done.”

Estelle, who had regained her magic power, ran forward.

Her hand went into the belt pocket.

In the place where the space magic was applied, a bigger gun came out before long.

A firearm that is shorter than an assault rifle, but has comparable power and rate of fire.

It was a ‘carbine-type rifle’ with a rotating kit that I bought from Lana.

Tadadadadang-!!

The torch-clad bullets swept away the Witchbeast in one fell swoop.

Estelle, who emptied a magazine in an instant, looked straight ahead.

The Ghosts who were holding on were all turned to ashes and disappeared.

“Estel… I think you can just do a Constellation…”

“wow···.”

Making a fuss with just this much.

She sneered and took the lead again.

Fortunately, all of the witches of the Pleiades coffin were of low rank, thanks to the professors blocking all witches with high levels.

The three of them cleared the road in an instant and were able to easily reach Yujin Kang’s laboratory.

“Is that the ‘glass tube’?”

Equipment placed in the center.

It stood out to the point where you could immediately recognize it as soon as you entered the lab.

“Go and make it work.”

“Huh? You?”

“I’ll block the road here.”

The Demon Beasts, who sensed the presence of humans, were still flocking to them.

Estelle quickly exchanged empty magazines and said.

“Come on.”

“Hang in there!”

Cynthia and Encia ran to the glass coffin.

The glass tube was locked so that no one could operate it, but Yujin Kang also described a technique to unlock it in the notice.

The structure was a little complicated, but it was a level of difficulty worth trying for the 2nd and 3rd place in Mathematics.

“Shiny. I’ll start.”

“yes.”

The magical powers of the two form the structure of the magic formula, and are neatly put together.

The moment when the locking magic was released one by one and the lock was finally released.

An intense magical response poured out of the silent glass tube.

Keyiing—!!

“Whoa!”

“······!”

A powerful magical response passed by, enough to push my body slightly.

In front of the two tense faces, the glass tube that looked like a cover slowly opened.

Shiiyi…

A chilly mist sinks to the floor.

Waiting for the smoke to subside while swallowing the dried sesame seeds for dozens of seconds.

The eyes of the two people who finally saw the inside were stained with bewilderment.

“What, what is this?”

Inside the glass tube was an operating table covered with a white cloth.

There was neither a weapon to wipe out the demons at once nor a trump card to expel Omen.

The faces of the two were stained with shock.

“Uh…what happened? The professor must be…”

“Ah! That professor couldn’t have made a mistake…!”

I don’t know what’s covered in the cloth, but I can’t feel any magic response.

Besides, it seemed to somehow resemble a person, so I was reluctant to lift the cloth.

It couldn’t have been a difficult situation for them.

“Baepsae! Magpie! Is it still far away!?”

“That, that’s…!”

There were a lot of monsters flocking in.

Estelle somehow managed to block it, but it was difficult to hold on for long.

“Uh, what should I do…”

Why did Yujin Kang ask me to come here?

I thought there must be a weapon to defeat the demons, but there was only something in the glass tube that was covered with cloth… and couldn’t even feel the magic reaction.

“… I can’t stand it for long!”

Estelle was slowly reaching her limit.

That moment when I couldn’t do this or that, and I was restless.

A small sound tickled Encia’s ear.

Squeak-

It was the sound of sliding cloth.

The moment she subconsciously looked away, she saw it.

The ‘it’ that slowly raises its body on the operating table…

“·······.”

“·······.”

bruise-

The bare feet of ‘it’ step on the floor.

The lithe limbs moved sluggishly, behind which gray hair fluttered.

It bore a striking resemblance to the person Ensia had seen on Earth someday.

“It’s still a long way…!”

Fuck!

A small voice cut off Estelle’s cry.

A huge flow of magical power.

The mental waves that spread out in all directions stopped the beasts at once.

And-

Roaring!

All of their demonic energy was set on fire, turning them into a handful of ashes.

“·······.”

“·······.”

“·······.”

A girl’s gray eyes turned to the bewildered three.

With her back to the flames and ashes, a girl resembling ‘Maria’ opened her mouth.

“Where is Yujin Kang?”
