Chapter 200 – Academy’s Strongest Canteen Man (5)

When he was a child eating at a cold table.
At that time, when the Great War was in full swing, Adela remembered a story she had heard from her father.
It was a story about very scary beings who were enemies of humanity and evil in the world.

His father was the Grand Duke of Roshyar, who protected the North Sea for a long time, and was the kingdom’s greatest wizard, leading a knightly order to travel across Helzeb since the outbreak of war.
Hard chair.
Uncomfortable silence.
It was clear that her words, which came out of nowhere without any warning, were directed at her sister, not at her.

— If you encounter one, run away.

Rochear’s spear never breaks.
Although she did not know how to use magic properly, it was a huge shock to Adela, who had grown up listening to that family motto until her ears were bleeding.
If you encounter any of the four worst, leave the battlefield.
They are beings that cannot be dealt with either by the power of the Archduke or by Roshoar’s unique magic that freezes all things.

And if.
If an unavoidable situation comes, then.

— Prepare for death.

That was it.
What my father said.

A year later, her father met the Four Worst on a battlefield in the demon world and was killed, and her older sister lost her heart and became an ice and snow ball.
After the war, the family stepped up to replenish its weakened strength, and Adela, who had been hiding his skills, fled to the Academy.

There, while stealing bread, she meets her teacher.
Won the magic competition.
Scolding her bad sister.
Avoid failing the midterm exam.
Running for president election.
I got scolded for destroying the store.

Talk to the teacher.
Hold hands with your teacher.
I’m in love with my teacher.
I promised to marry my teacher.

After spending a year so happy that I no longer remember the cold table.

.
.
.

Slam!!

She was hitting her head on the cold floor.

“Ah, huh… !”
“Look at that. “I told you it was no use.”

Adela, coming to her senses, found herself rolling on a bottom of water where her ice had melted.
Before she knew it, Liv, who was next to her, had flown to a tree trunk in the distance and was spewing out a lot of blood from her mouth.
She definitely thought it was worth a try.
As my father said, the evil was too powerful.

Immediately after the floating island fell.
Antiope, who was crushed to pieces without any form left, eventually turned into a black puddle, contaminating the ground and pouring out demons.
Even though thousands of 〈 illusion flesh 〉 materialized by Liv through imagery magic were inserted into his entire body, he never died and came back to life.
Even if her body is restrained with Roshyar’s unique magic that freezes even her soul.
Even if I destroy her entire body in a dizzy prison of illusion.
She suddenly came back to life and stabbed her stomach with her fingernails.
Yet, steadily, step by step, the two walked toward the store they were trying to protect.

“You’re all done playing now, right? Hang in there. “I will eat them one by one.”

No matter what you do, you can’t stop it.
No matter what you do, you can’t kill it.

A strange being.
It’s evil.

Tuk.
Antiope’s feet, which tried to pass by the two people, were blocked by a transparent wall.
She laughed as she looked at Liv who had put up an image barrier, then pulled out a black thorn from her hand and threw it away.
As the magic flew straight towards her head and exploded, the barrier soon disappeared.

“… Ha.”

But this time, Adela’s body crawled to her feet and was dragged along.
There was no mercy in the hands of evil.
The hair wrapped around her feet was cut off, and the blade that fell from her dress was embedded in her entire body.
Adela, whose lungs were pierced, could not even breathe properly.

“Are you still alive? Oh, wouldn’t you die even if your heart was broken?”
“Ugh, ahhh… !!”
“What is Rochear…?” … “It’s tricky.”

Antiope, who had a lot of experience dealing with the emotionless wizards of Rochear, seemed to know well that they would rush to the brink of death.
Adela, who barely managed to save her life before the blade plunged into her heart, looked up at her with blurry eyes as she continued walking.

Don’t let them go to the store.
You promised the teacher.
I won’t let it break again.

She reached out her still moving left arm and grabbed her ankle.
Now I couldn’t even hear a sneer.
A pain that threatened to tear her wrist apart.
Thought Adela, dropping her head again onto the floor where her blood had pooled on her.

With my stupid head, desperately.

“I can never go…” … !”
“Huh?”
“My everything…”

It has to be frozen.
That’s all she knew how to do.
The pounding of her heart told her that she could still do it.
Even a fool.
Even if she’s a half-assed wizard who can only freeze herself.
If it’s to protect your precious memories with your teacher.

“Teacher, huh… Because it’s my everything… !”

Snowflakes landed on the dirty dirt mixed with wet dirt and blood.
Despite a terrible chill running through her body, Adela tightened her grip and glared at Antiope.

Cold.
It seemed like the whole world had frozen.
Suddenly, my sister’s words came to mind.
Even in this cold winter.
In the cold we created, there is no indifference.

“What!? This… !!”
“You here! I can’t even take one step… !!”

From Adela’s fingertips, which poured out cold anger.
An irresistible chill climbed up Antiope’s feet.

“Forever–!!!”

“Louis! Come to your senses!!!”

At Hubblet’s shout, I got up from my fallen body.
Memories came back with tinnitus ringing in my ears.
When we arrived at the center of the Great Hall, we faced enemies coming from all directions.
He had apparently been attacked by Frederick, the leader of the Holy Light Knights who was supposed to be in Sandalphonia.

I immediately pulled out the holy sword stuck in the gap between the collapsed stones.
Wivlet was dealing with Frederick, and Terra was pouring magic at the knights of the Holy Kingdom.
No longer needing the night, Noah removed his eye patch and cast a spell, and the target was the second warrior running from the end of the large temple.

“Louis!!”

As Caroline hurriedly opened her sixth Holy Wisdom, 〈 Great Healing 〉, the blood flowing from her ears stopped.
As soon as she regained her sense of balance, she clashed swords with the warrior who was running towards me.

Kwaaang——!!

It’s worth doing.
That was the first thought that came to my mind, even though my eardrums, which had been ruptured by a hammer earlier, were once again damaged by the shock wave.
I pushed Caroline away from Nova as if throwing her, and then countered the guy’s attack again.
The light emitted from the holy sword reflected off the pure white marble of the temple, sparking dazzling sparks.

“Lewis, we have to destroy the shrine!”

As the darkness brought about by Nova disappears and dawn dawns, all of Monarch’s confused forces will soon rush here.
It was faster to destroy the altar and take away his power than to deal with the hero.
However, the irrational guy must have realized my intention and immediately blocked my way.
The paladins who heard our purpose and followed us also created a thick barrier on the way to the shrine.

“Ugh, ahhh——!!”

Being pushed back by pure power is the same as before, so it’s a situation where you can’t easily shake off the hero.
At that time, the ceiling broke and crushed the giant paper guy at the top of the main temple.
The soldiers were all astonished upon discovering the being floating above the bluish morning starry sky.

“It’s a dragon… !”
“Nonsense… !!”

Even Frederick, who was blocking Hublett’s sword with his shield, stopped moving for a moment.
When a dragon with black wings spread joined the battlefield, the situation became more and more complicated.
Meanwhile, I activated my first unique magic spell.
While the hero was recovering from being crushed by hundreds of kilos of iron, he was running toward the altar.

〈 Goyumado: Hundred Flowers ⌜百花擾亂⌟〉

“Stop it! “It’s coming this way!!”
“Aaaaah!!!”

The large paladin in front of him crushed his shield and lowered it diagonally up to his shoulder blades.
With just one hit, my wrist creaked and I felt pain.
Even the warriors of the Holy Kingdom, whose bodies are strengthened by blessings, cannot break through them in one go.
The guy who knew that, looked at me with frowning eyes and smiled even as death approached.

“Kwaaaaa–!!?
“Kuheook!!!”

It was only when my colleagues everywhere dropped their shields and grabbed their shoulders at the same time that I realized something was wrong.
〈 Hundred Flowers 〉 A unique magic sword designed to deal with Antiope.
I was wondering if I could kill that bitch reappearing somewhere at the same time as the main body disappears with a curse that inflicts the same injuries.

‘Of course, there is a high possibility that it won’t work.’

The act of escaping from death as if it was so natural was as close to immortality as possible.
Anyway, I went forward, cutting down the paladins who could no longer hold their shields, and finally arrived at the place where the shrine was located.

***

Kwaang!!

After breaking down the door, there was a pure white stone slab big enough for one person to lie down on.
The familiar appearance of the room and the cool air.
It is a place filled with memories of the past.

“…”

I stared quietly at a corner of the empty room.
A long time ago, a small crying sound was heard from this very spot.
Even though it was a cold marble floor, there seemed to be some warmth remaining there.

“It’s such a shitty place. Is not it?”
“…”
“Neither here nor outside. “It’s not a world that suits the two of us.”

After wiping away the spilled blood, I tightened the straps that held the shield together.

“But after living there, it wasn’t all that bad.”
“…”
“So, go first.”

Finally, facing the second warrior who chased me, I raised my sword.
