Chapter 177 – For the Unknown (8)

After defeating Melonia, nothing bothered him.

Ayla and the other archbishops are still held by Iona, so the only thing left is the undead that were not enchanted by Melonia.

However, to me now, it doesn’t matter how many undead there are.

“That uh uh uh uh!”
“Exactly! Tadak!”
“Kiyaaaaa… !”

Screaming banshee flying through the skies, skeletons snapping their jaws menacingly, and ghouls clad in rotting flesh and crying.

They are the most basic undead monsters, and there are many different types of enhancements as well.

A banshee with a long tongue, or a skeleton knight with thick armor and a long greatsword. And even bloody ghouls that shed acidic blood non-stop.

As they are the ones who survived Iona’s endless check, overall, the proportion of reinforced species is high.

I looked down at her trembling right hand.

Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, hand-grilled with black charcoal.

I drank the highest quality potion as soon as I was in a hurry, but unlike other wounds, recovery was remarkably slow.

I heard that these things need to be formally treated by the priests, and that if they are forcibly restored with potions, the aftereffects will be great.

Anyway, I can’t use it right now.

The dagger he was holding floated around with telekinesis. It should be fine since the one connected by magic is the treat I am holding.

He lifted her left hand and raised her mana.

Pounding-

Her heart beats heavily and squeezes her core.

There is no pain. Mana just drained out in chunks, and she only felt a slight emptiness she had never felt before.

Fortunately, the Endless Mana Talent is filling up the mana gap quickly.

He let out a sigh of relief and cast a spell that would open the way at once.

“”There is paradise in heaven, and there is prayer on earth. The road to eternity is far away.”

The undead’s counter is, of course, the light attribute.

Was the light on my fingertips dazzling? Or was it that the mana that burned them bothered them?

The undead that had been clinging to Iona all at once turned around.

Feeling the hostile gazes of those guys, I continued my spell.

“”But, nevertheless, we stretch out our hands toward the source.””

A slightly longer chant. Unlike Thunder Calling, it’s a one-shot magic, so it’s better to be sure.

Ugh-

The mana that encroached on her surroundings sublimates her light mass into magic according to my order, and the light that consumes her mana to the extent of excessively inflates her body.

What I imagine is the white shower I saw many times while playing H&A.

“”… Shine. Starlight Lane!』”

The light shot along with the starter soared over the heads of the undead, drawing long tails.

The moment I arrived at the center of them like that.

Paaaaa… !

The huge light mass split into small light bullets and started to fall.

It looks like a meteor shower falling in a local area.

However, unlike its beautiful appearance, Starlight Rain’s light bullets have the bloody effect of causing an explosion when hit.

Bang! Kwaaang!

The undead shattered in the aftermath alone, and the ground turned upside down to reveal its inner flesh.

I swallowed my saliva involuntarily at the sight of it as if a bomb was falling.

“…”

What. A little stronger than you think?

The title of Ghost Buster, which gives bonuses when dealing with the undead, and the Protection of the Sun God, which gives bonuses when using light attribute magic.

There were two of them and even overcharged magic power, but isn’t it a bit flashy?

… Well, if it’s good, it’s good.

The left hand that manifested magic is a little numb, but it’s not to the extent that I can’t use it at all.

After grabbing the dagger floating in the air, he swung towards the undead that was being swept away.

“Force Hand.”

Unseen hands gently gripped my body and threw it forward with all its might.

Weeeee!

Much faster than when running on foot. The impact of bumping into something on the way would be great, but…

Anything that could be bumped into was swept away by the magic from earlier. I can throw it without hesitation.

How many times did I catch my body in the air and throw it again and again?

After passing through the hollowed ground like a gombo, passing through the hills lined with broken bones, they reached an area so devastated that the original shape could not be recognized.

Traces of a fierce battle left on the ground. The cause was overhead.

Powers of all kinds embroider the sky, and bloody magic barely opposes them.

It was a spectacular battle that was several times the battle that Melonia and I had just fought.

The five archbishops, led by Ayla, and Iona raised their fingers at the sight of them trying to kill each other.

I got a little tremor, but it should be enough to use Thunder Calling.

“『Trust, lightning, flash.』

The surrounding mana boils and black clouds form in the sky.

The gaze naturally focused on this side. Iona, who found me, was startled and hurriedly flew away.

Looking at it, I continue to sing.

“”Smash down in the moment.””

“Did you really come all the way here?! What were you thinking?! And now that magic…”

As if she had a lot to say, Iona made a shield by collecting the blood around her while she was flustered.

However, if your vision is completely blocked, it will be difficult to use the magic you are preparing.

As Jira was chanting her words, she nodded her head, and Iona, who understood her vaguely, pierced a small hole in the protective shield made of her blood.

She glared at her authority shooting towards this side over it, and she uttered her last start word with great taste…

“”Thunder… It’s okay.””

… She tried to stand up, but she lost control of her body and fell in front of her as she felt a sudden sense of helplessness.

“Yandel students?!”

Embarrassed, Iona covered up her shield again, supporting my collapsing body.

Water.

The face was naturally buried in Iona’s chest. Perhaps because she is in battle, her clothes come loose and her bare skin touches her directly.

Her spirit, which had been intact despite Melonia’s fascination, was shaken for a moment and tried to free herself.

“Hmmmm. You know we’re in a battle right now, Yandel student? I can’t stand this for long!”

“… What are you thinking? Is this a side effect of being exposed to the ugly power of prosperity?”

She forced herself up, reflexively holding up the dead Melonia.

“Ugh.”

Then she collapsed again, burying her face even deeper into Iona’s breastbone.

Molang.

“… It’s really because of the Authority, right?”

“Hey. Because it’s real.”

Io, who pulled my body and held me up so that her breasts could not touch her, answered me in a serious voice.

Iona sighed as she smiled at this.

“Sigh… It’s okay. Let’s say so. Are you okay anyway? I can’t seem to control her. Where did she get hurt?”

Iona asked, looking anxiously at my bloody body.

When she focused her mind within herself for a moment, the cause was immediately apparent.

“Oh, it’s because I’m out of medicine, so don’t worry.”

“…”

Iona looking down at me with a strange expression.

But what if it’s true

The cuts here and there were all healed by drinking the highest quality potion. The only scars left now are fingers that have been bruised from overload.

The reason why I couldn’t move my whole body other than my hands was simple.

All the buffs that filled my body and assisted my movements just a moment ago disappeared.

The arm that allowed him to take down a heavy sword with one hand swayed weakly in the air.

The legs that had been pushing the ground like the wind were trembling as if they had convulsions.

More than anything, the familiar pain that comes up from the whole body… Muscle pain.

All in all, the effect must have run out just as the magic was about to be completed.

“It’s okay, Professor. Just because I arrived here, I have already achieved my goal.”

“A purpose… Yes. Let’s listen to it, Yandel student. What were you thinking about coming back? Professor Iona gave her life to save her… There must be some way, right?”

“Absolutely. It was obvious that it would only be a hindrance, so you came without thinking?”

“You know, you know. Have you already been disturbed?”

“…”

I have nothing to say when I think of Blood Rain, which I wrote at the risk of Melonia right before I fell for her.

It was a while to shyly avoid Iona’s gaze.

Shit.

The sound of something breaking nearby.

It was a sign that Iona’s unfolded shield would shatter shortly after.

“… I don’t seem to have time, so I’ll be direct.”

She stuck her head out and thrust her neck into Iona.

“Drain my blood, Professor.”

“Ah.”

With time, reinforcements will come. Even if they only take care of the archbishop, Iona’s chances of winning increase dramatically.

The problem is that they can’t hold out until reinforcements arrive.

If so, wouldn’t she just have to let Iona hold on to her?

Fortunately, vampires are a race that can recover life and magic at the same time through vampirism.

“Then suck my blood, Professor. Please don’t make me a member of your family by mistake.”

“Sigh… I said something. Yandel student. Even if I look like this, I’m a road-level vampire! Even if you suck all the blood of a person, you won’t be able to recover even 10%? It’s not too late even now If you prioritize escape…”

In front of Iona, who let out a sigh, she pulled out one of her finest potions.

“You can make blood.”

“Oh my God. Are you serious?”

The recovery potion is only for treatment. Therefore, no matter how much Iona drinks, her wounds are healed, but her vitality is not replenished.

But what if I drink a potion to replenish her blood, and Iona sucks my blood like that?

Wouldn’t it be possible to replenish her vitality and magical power at the same time? A really efficient way.

“… Yandel student. It’s called a blood funnel in the jargon of the vampire industry, but did you know that it was forbidden by the treaty because it was a secret practice that had been done secretly since before the Great War?”

“Yandel doesn’t know that! Suck it!”

“No…”

Iona keeps hesitating on the subject with her eyes fixed on the nape of my neck.

It seems that he keeps rejecting it with various reasons, but in fact, the reason Iona is reluctant is simple.

Past. There was a time when she drank poison and sucked Ayla’s blood, and her magical powers were hardened.

Because of that, he couldn’t do anything even with the corpses of his clan members in front of him.

Rather, it became a lump of luggage, so the former load sacrificed his life to rescue it.

The memory of the time was like a thorn, so he couldn’t bear to directly vampirize.

Originally, I was going to calmly persuade him because it was necessary.

Damn jjeook-

Time is running out. Soon, Iona’s shield will shatter.

She glared at the shield full of incontinence and bit her lip.

Can’t help it

Aww

The force of her jaw cut deep into her, the blood gushing out of her material.

She narrowed her eyes and glared at Iona, who was babbling and giving reasons why she couldn’t.

And she sees the gap.

Jjook.

“Eww?!”

He accidentally kissed her on the lips.

The soft touch of her lips. Taking advantage of the slightly gaping gap in her mouth, as if she was trying to say something, she quickly inserted her tongue.

“Huh…”

Her chin twitched as if she was trying to close her mouth, but Ioh stopped at the thought that she would bite my tongue if she did so.

Instead, she tried to push it away with her tongue, so she quickly entangled it and suppressed it.

Then, blood mingled with saliva flowed slowly through her tongue.

“Ugh… Town…”

Iona rejects her by shaking her head. But she’s come this far and she can’t back down.

Utilizing her experience so far, she skillfully stimulated the inside of her mouth.

The back of her tongue, the roof of her mouth, her gums, and the inside of her cheeks.

As she carefully tickled her, she eventually couldn’t stand it and Iona, who unknowingly made her neck tingle.

Gulp.

“… Hehe ♡”

A sweet nasal sound that tickled my ear made me smile.

After that, the operation was successful.
