Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

“It felt like things were going too well. We just had to assume there was something else going on.”

"Yes. I think so too." Daglas nodded. Facing these two Knights General, Roland felt greatly relieved.

At this time, Zheng Xin showed a sly smile, walked over and asked: "What's wrong? Aren't you guys forcing us into a desperate situation? Don't be dazed, just catch us quickly."

"We won't fall for your provocation." Roland said, raising his sword with a disdainful smile.

“You had big plans. So I think you must have anticipated this and that. And maybe had some countermeasures. That’s just the way it is.”

"Don't underestimate the Knight Commander. If you get carried away by this small victory, then you are not qualified to lead your men into battle!"

“That’s right. Complacency and carelessness are personal disgrace.”

Nelson and Douglas also looked up at Zheng Xin and the others with strong smiles. They were ready to respond to any changes at any time, without any loopholes.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Xin nodded as if to express his agreement.

"I see... I thought it wasn't that simple... but!"

The moment Zheng Xin showed a sly smile, a transparent blue barrier suddenly appeared in front of Roland and the others.

It seemed to isolate Zheng Xin and his group, making it impossible for anyone to get close. Nelson, with a changed expression, hit the wall with his sword, but it seemed to be bounced back by some force and was useless.

“Damn… this is not an ordinary wall!”

“It could be magic or something. It might be difficult to destroy with ordinary weapons.”

Then, a wall made of magic also appeared behind them. Roland and his companions were completely trapped and felt desperate. They had no other options but to wait for help to arrive or for the magic barrier to be lifted.

“Try to just watch the fun there. This is the result of our research. Hahahaha!”

"Goodbye. It was quite an interesting episode." Zheng Xin smiled happily. Saya looked at Roland and the others with a condescending smile, then left the room.

Soon Nelson was punching a nearby wall in anger.

"Damn it, we've fallen into the old men's trap!"

"How pathetic... I just said my shame, and now this is it..."

Douglas sat there, holding his head, groaning softly. He didn't even have tears for his stupidity, and the other two were the same.

Roland slowly put away his sword, thinking about the three people who had taken separate actions. At that moment - a magic sphere appeared in front of him.

"What, what is this!?"

Nelson stood up in surprise. An image appeared on the sphere.

"Lord Euglias..."

"Esther, and old man Culler..."

Douglas and Nelson muttered to themselves. The images showed that the three people were moving underground in separate groups.

They seemed safe at the moment, but they could be in danger at any time. They realized again that they could not go to rescue them, and Roland's face showed deeper regret.

“This must be a relic of those old people.”

"Are we now left to watch helplessly as those three people are arrested?"

Nelson slammed his palms, and Douglas made no attempt to hide his shaking fists, clenching his teeth—

At this time, the alarm sounded.

----------------

Let’s go back in time a little bit—

As Xu Zhen and his friends were walking in the underground passage, a huge wall appeared in front of them.

"Master. That wall gives people a strange feeling." Lati's voice sounded, and Xu Zhen and the others stopped.

Indeed, the wall was glowing faintly, and it was obviously not an ordinary wall. The other monsters seemed to sense something as well.

“Is it a trap?”

“I’m not sure…”

Xu Zhen asked, and Foreo answered.

"Just that wall, I feel a very strong magical power. Like a big sphere?"

"Blob... If I attack with magic power, the wall will disappear... It can't be that simple."

He thought of an eye for an eye, but Xu Zhen thought it was too convenient. If it could be destroyed so easily, then the wall would be useless.

Although he was grumbling in his heart, he also had a glimmer of hope. Maybe it could really be destroyed. Maybe the magic of Lati and Foreo could easily destroy it.

Then--

"That's a good idea! I'll transform a little and try to destroy it!" Lati said with great enthusiasm. The other monsters seemed to agree and laughed.

Xu Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Well, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. Then Lati, I'll leave it to you."

"OK!"

Then Lati reached out and touched the necklace, activating the magic. Her body began to glow and transformed into an adult woman.

In both hands, a magic ball filled with power was generated, and then it was thrown at the wall with all its strength. As soon as the magic ball hit the wall, cracks appeared in the wall in an instant. The cracks spread rapidly, and soon after, it collapsed with a loud bang.

All this happened in just a few seconds.

"Master, I did it! It was so easy to destroy!"

Lati made a victory gesture and jumped up excitedly. In contrast, Xu Zhen looked at the destroyed wall with a look of astonishment, because he didn't expect that he could really destroy it with magic power.

Just then—

“Drip—drip—drip!”

An extremely loud sound suddenly rang out.

"W-what?"

Xu Zhen and the others looked around in surprise. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that the magic power on the wall was also reacting, and the color flickered and became lighter. Because the wall was destroyed, a sound was heard. Obviously, this was the sound of some kind of alarm.

Xu Zhen thought so and frowned.

"It seems we can't take it easy any longer... Foreo, turn into a dragon. We have to break through here in one go!"

"Yes, I understand!" Foreo answered powerfully, activating his magic power and transforming into a huge dragon.

Fortunately, the underground passages are quite spacious, and the worry of hitting your head on the ceiling or your wings flapping against the wall while flying does not seem to be a big deal.

Carrying Loppel and the others, Xu Zhen climbed onto Foreo's back and looked at the passage extending behind the broken wall.

"let's go!"

At Xu Zhen's shout, the monsters responded with enthusiasm and moved forward.

----------------

"Well, that's clearly an alarm. It's not a good sign."

Facing Culler's murmur, Esther smiled bitterly and said, "Having said that, we can't say it doesn't matter."

"In any case, we are not the cause. If it were us, the alarm would have sounded earlier." Esther's words were agreed by Eugrias who was walking in front.

"Maybe someone somewhere else has started to take action. It could even be a wizard in the institute or the mastermind behind the scenes..."

"If that's the case, it's even more troublesome. We may not be able to achieve our goal. If we can't find out exactly what's going on here, we won't be able to reveal the truth about Valfermion."

"Yes. But there's no use in being anxious. All we can do now is act calmly."

After Esther said this, Culler muttered a little angrily, saying that he knew. Although the three of them seemed calm on the surface, they were not at peace in their hearts. The constant sounding of the alarm gave them an ominous premonition.

This premonition was soon confirmed. A hidden door next to them opened, revealing Saya and several wizards.

Euglias and the others immediately prepared themselves, while Sayo glared at them angrily.

"What did you... do?"

Even though they were asked this question, Euglias and the others could not answer it. Because since they entered, they had been walking in complicated corridors and had not even found the data room. In other words, they had not actually done anything yet.

Facing these people who shook their heads, Sayo's expression became even more distorted: "It will be good for you to confess and be lenient. Otherwise..."

Sayo generated a magic ball and showed the image on it to Euglias and the others: "No matter what these young people do, we won't guarantee it!"

"Nelson... and Mr. Roland..."

Esther was shocked to see the three Knights leaders trapped.

“And this side.”

Saya manipulated her magic power and this time reflected the situation inside the academy. It happened that Sylvia and the others were patrolling the campus. They seemed to be doing fine, which meant that at least there was no alarm in the academy. It seemed that the alarm was only spread underground.

When Euglias and the others thought of this, Sayo smiled slyly.

"Ester and Culler. As current teachers and school personnel, you walked into the restricted area so brazenly. This is a clear violation of school rules, isn't it? With your joint responsibility, it wouldn't be strange to impose punishment on them as well, right?"

"...Are you saying that once we step into this place, we are doomed to be cornered?"

"You can interpret it however you want, but your future has not changed."

In response to Culler's words, Sayo said with a smug smile. Euglias and the others were completely unable to move.

"Our own words are fine, but the students of the academy are being held hostage. Also, what Sayo and the others said is almost completely correct. To those who know nothing, Eugrias and the others are the traitors."

"I don't think I was careless. I was trying my best to be careful. But the opponent still scored a point. Maybe the old people who have been lurking underground longer than us are more cunning."

Culler was filled with such annoyance. Euglias and Esther had similar feelings. Just when Saya thought that things seemed to have ended here, at that moment -

"Saya-sama——!"

A wizard ran over with a changed expression. Sayo sighed deeply and turned around slowly: "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? If it's just a boring thing, I won't take care of it!"

Feeling increasingly irritated, Saya listened to the wizard's whispered report. Then Saya's expression immediately became anxious.

"How could there be such a stupid thing... What, what is this!?" Saya hurriedly switched the image in the magic ball. It was a scene of the underground passage. And there -

“Waaaaaaaaa——!”

"Let's go--!"

"Okay, that's it!"

A winged adult woman, a boy wearing a headscarf, and a giant dragon carrying small monsters. They continued to move forward, destroying the magic wall one after another.

"How, how could this happen! Aren't those walls called masterpieces!?"

The scene in the video was the reality that was happening. But Sayo couldn't believe it. It must be some kind of wrong decision. While Sayo lost her composure and yelled, Culler seemed to be smiling happily.

"Hoo-ho-ho, Xu Zhen and the others are making a fuss too. It looks like we can't lose either!"

Of course, his smile also contained the pure amusement of watching the old woman lose her temper. Euglias and Esther realized this and could only smile bitterly.
