Episode 214 Festival Night (9)
Bikir. The night hound stood in front of its prey.
While Bikir was cooking in the kitchen just before, he threw down the wok and ran out of the bar at a familiar sensation.
Judging from the fact that Baalzebub, the demonic sword hidden in the artery, is trembling wildly, now is not the time to stir-fry potatoes.
‘This energy…?’
the devil’s smell. How can I forget this hateful smell of blood?
Judging by the presence, the entity that invaded the inside of the academy is the Corpse Queen.
It was an opponent he faced once before at the ruins of the Indulgentia family.
It is unknown why he is inside the academy and for what purpose he entered the chaotic academy for the festival.
However, while this situation was a crisis, it was also an opportunity.
‘I’ll definitely remove one of them at this opportunity.’
However, there should be as few people as possible wrongly caught up in it.
Especially if it’s classmates you care about.
“Back off. If you don’t want to get caught up in death.”
Bikir gave a short warning under the mask of the night hound.
“……!”
“……!”
At those words, Bianca and Sinclair shuddered slightly.
It is the first time for them to see a night hound in real life. Of course, I’ve never heard the voice.
For Bianca and Sinclair, who only encountered the Hound of the Night through newspapers, the Hound of the Night is also a vicious villain.
So Vikir deliberately spoke with mana in a cold voice without a single hint of warmth, and because of that, Bianca and Sinclair could only be terrified by simply hearing the warning.
“Is that a real night hound? I’ve never heard such a terrible voice before.”
“I’m sure the face behind the mask is just as terrifying as that voice!”
But Dolores’s reaction was different.
“……Guys, let’s step back for now.”
She knows the night hound.
That his insides are noble and holy, and that he is the only opponent who can stand up to the devil at this point.
At the same time, Dolores sent several juniors to inform the professors of the current situation.
‘I can’t bring in too many professors. If that happens, even the Hound of the Night is in danger.’
A relief force was needed to moderate the situation.
If an academy professor came, one or two would be just right.
Dolores moderated the strength of the salvation army and at the same time radiated divine power to control the surrounding undead from acting abnormally.
yet. The Night Hound and the Corpse Queen face off once again.
Bikir muttered lowly.
“I won’t miss this time.”
But the Corpse Queen’s reaction was slightly different.
[Take it off.]
……?
As Vikir tilted her head, the Corpse Queen made her point clear once more.
[Take off the mask. Reveal your face.]
The Corpse Queen makes a strange request out of nowhere, but there is no reason for Vikir to comply.
“Just die.”
Bikir took out Anubis, the black bow.
Puff!
The five trails of Balak’s archery tear the air into many pieces.
The Corpse Queen who saw it exploded her aura.
Wood Deuk!
Skeleton soldiers rose up and built a wall to block the arrows, and behind them, black hellfire was sprinkled like toppings.
…Puff!
Bikir quickly backed away.
A bolt of fire fell on the spot where I was standing just a moment ago, engulfing everything.
Meanwhile. Tudor Sancho Piggy Bianca Sinclair, who saw the Night Hound and the Corpse Queen collide, said one word to each.
“Is this a villain versus a villain?”
“I don’t know why the wicked are fighting each other, but it would be perfect if both died.”
“We need to call the professors quickly!”
“This is the right moment for the words Admiral Lee Dok and Dong Gwie Jin.”
“Let’s hurry up and avoid it! We might explode in a whale fight for no reason…”
Night Hounds are evils defined by the Empire and must disappear.
In addition, warlocks outside the control of the Empire are also dangerous beings, and their power and harm are not far behind those of the Hounds of the Night.
Therefore, everyone who could grasp the situation wanted the Night Hound and the Corpse Queen to be annihilated at this spot.
……only one. Except for Dolores, who knows the underpinnings of the situation.
‘Please don’t get hurt.’
She was cheering for the night hound with a sympathetic expression.
A pilgrim on the path of sacrifice and suffering. A great being who sacrifices himself for the sake of all people but does not show any regrets.
Even at this moment, if you look at him who must have endured all the blood and wounds and pain alone, you can’t help but send a sad gaze.
[…]
And the Corpse Queen, noticing Dolores’ gaze, became even more uncomfortable.
[……Soulmate? You’re laughing!]
A pitch-dark curtain of fire covered her and sharp iron skewers began to pop out.
[Take off the mask and reveal your true identity, the night hound!] She
is a corpse queen who has been obsessed with the face inside the mask since earlier.
but.
“Death to the devil.”
Instead of answering, Bikire just shoots arrows.
No matter how much you ask for it, when the other person doesn’t respond, the flames created by the corpse queen get hotter and hotter.
[……okay? You mean you don’t have any intention of talking?]
She instantly turned the trajectory of the dead men’s advance to the side.
[In that case, I’ll make you have no choice but to speak.]
Before long, countless skeletons change direction and spread here and there.
Intention to cause wide-area damage to an unspecified number of people.
The first targets were Tudor Sancho Piggy and Bianca Sinclair among the crowd near the tavern.
“Ah!? It’s coming this way! Let’s stop it!”
“Civilians can’t be harmed!”
“Ooh can we stop it in our line?”
“I’ll have to try it!”
“You must endure unconditionally!”
In this case, the midterm exam experience at the academy will be of great help.
defense test. A structure that blocks the invading monsters.
Tudor Sancho Piggy and Bianca Sinclair already had experience, so they were able to fend off the Skeleton Soldiers rushing in front of them.
However, practice and practice are different.
The students were overwhelmed at the moment by the momentum of the monsters, baring their teeth and claws and clinging to them.
“Ah!? It’s pierced!”
“We’re in danger too!”
“Is there anyone who can help!? I’m pierced!”
“It’s pierced here too!”
“You’re wrong! We can’t do it on our own!”
No matter how drunk you are in the party atmosphere, you can’t be unaware of the situation at this point.
The audience at the back of the concert gradually began to notice the change.
The dead, who unconditionally hate living things, attack the students.
Catastrophe was a predestined procedure.
……at that time.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The fierce storm swept away the bones around them at once.
Black cloaks flutter in front of the exhausted students.
“professor!”
Tudor Sancho Piggy Bianca Sinclair shouted in unison, her face flushed.
A man who turned numerous skeleton soldiers into bone powder in one blow.
It was Professor Morgue Banshee.
“What kind of situation is this? Why are there undead on campus…?”
He quickly grasped the situation.
That this is a first degree crisis situation.
Kkagak- Gigigigig-
Skeleton soldiers are moving and aiming at the students and spectators of the academy.
But not one of them could break through Professor Banshee’s defenses.
“My students will not be able to do even a hair’s worth of damage.”
Professor Banshee stood in the way of the students with his usual stilted and condescending attitude.
Whoop!
Hellfire and iron skewers flew in, but Professor Banshee stopped them all by erecting a wall of wind and ice.
Woojijikjik!
However, Professor Banshee’s Storm Spear and Ice Wall did not completely block the Corpse Queen’s attack.
Taking advantage of Professor Banshee’s lack of concentration, the Corps of Dead Soldiers tried to break away from the ranks and cross over to the concert hall on the other side of the tavern.
“…Professor Sadie!”
Professor Banshee opened his mouth, and high-pitched laughter came from the other side.
“Ho-ho-ho- I told you not to call me by my name, right? You gloomy old man.”
A whip flew in like a snake, crushing and crushing all the skeleton soldiers on the other side.
Fuck!
The heel of the kill heel pierced the top of the skull rolling on the floor.
Soon after, Sadie, a slender female professor wearing high heels, appeared.
Pupper puffer puck!
The whip she wields destroys a radius of dozens of meters and removes the dead like trash.
Professor Banshee glared at Professor Sadi in an annoyed tone.
“It’s unfortunate that you’re on duty at the festival.”
“I made the duty table and it’s fucking shit. It’s absurd.”
However, apart from his work attitude, Professor Saadi’s skills are genuine.
In an instant, she subdued all the dead who approached the audience.
Professor Banshee had been aiming for the back of the bar after multi-casting a few large-scale magics of fire, ice and earth properties.
“Other professors who have been contacted will be arriving soon. It’s time to hunt down the villains.”
Professor Banshee was confident of victory.
It was intended to ambush the Night Hound and the Corpse Queen as they both bared their teeth at each other.
However, Professor Sadhi next to him did not answer.
“…”
He just glanced around with an incomprehensible look, checking to see if the professor’s reinforcements were coming.
Right then.
…Kurruk!
A strange phenomenon was detected.
Suddenly, a black curtain came down around me.
A shield made of dark mana with a strangely eerie aura was drawn like a curtain announcing the end of the stage.
The membrane was made up of demonic energy so powerful and foreign that even the magic-savvy Banshee Professor had never seen it before.
“……Barrier?”
Professor Banshee hurriedly poured out the magic he had created.
“Hohoho- what is this? A barrier? Who hit it?”
Professor Saadi also tried whipping, but could not break through the black curtain.
Eventually, the barrier disappeared in an instant, hiding its presence.
“……They didn’t run away. They’re still in this space. It’s just that we can’t see them.”
Professor Banshee scanned his surroundings with a sharp gaze.
The night hound and the corpse queen, who had disappeared into the subspace of the barrier, still remained somewhere in this space.
Knowing that, both Professor Banshee and Professor Sadi were vigilant and wary of their surroundings.
……But they didn’t know.
< The Ring of Sacred Inviolability > / Ring
-Barrier -On
-Finit hic Deus The realm of God ends here.
The fact that this barrier is the result of the authority of Andromalius, one of the ten times, and it is the strongest barrier that cannot even be seen inside unless it is a monster or a child under the age of 8.
……and.
“You will die here.”
In the sub-space barrier that no one can peek at.
The Night Hound and the Corpse Queen were about to start their own fight again.
