Chapter 31: Raid in the Arena
Well, compared to this kind of sight, Lotte's test is more important.
Ella turned her head away, trying not to notice the strange gazes, and focused her attention on Lotte, who had taken her place.
Lotte and I only registered at the Holy Academy in November of the previous year. Since it was not yet the time for the academy to recruit new students, from November of the previous year to April now, in addition to working to pay tuition, the rest of our free time was spent visiting Nina at Yajie and learning magic knowledge. Of course, strictly speaking, only Lotte was studying, and we were just listening occasionally.
Was it an accident? Although Lotte's magic seemed poised to dissipate at any moment, it had successfully condensed into a blue humanoid. Based on her previous observations while still in the group, condensing a humanoid form was a skill rarely achieved by members of the other races, aside from the majority of the Divine Humans.
Maybe, to some extent, Lotte is a genius who is much stronger than me. Well, this way I can feel more at ease. What if one day I am summoned by the Loli God again...
Not only did the result exceed his expectations, but others also expressed their admiration. Although the noise was not as loud as his just now, it was second only to his.
Ah, this peaceful and happy life is so wonderful.
If there weren't so many people around me, I might have stretched myself and found a sunny spot to have a good sleep.
Hmm? Wait, was that just a warning to myself? I have a bad feeling...
"Okay, now that the test is over, let's get back to the team. We have something else to discuss."
Yajie nodded to Ruthie who was still at the operating table. After Ruthie came back to her side, she walked to the end of the team with her. For some reason, the two demons at the beginning consciously walked behind her, so that she and Ruthie were now the second to last.
"That concludes the examination of magic manipulation. Now, I will explain how to improve your ability to control magic in general. However, before that, I have another announcement to make."
Yajie paused, making sure everyone was listening before continuing to explain.
"The academy's 'Magic Festival' is already underway. If you want to get the rewards you desire at the festival, you'll need to train hard during this period. So, next—"
I didn't want to listen to Yajie's words. Although the name of the magic festival sounded very attractive, Yajie had previously explained to me and Luti that it was actually just a competition using magical abilities. I didn't need to understand the content of the subsequent magic mastery. It wasn't that I felt that my current abilities were sufficient, but because I didn't understand what she was saying at all...
Having said that, I always feel like something is pulling my hair, but when I want to look back, the pulling feeling suddenly disappears.
until--
"It hurts—Hey! What are you doing?!"
When he turned around, he found that the demon standing behind him was holding a needle-like object in his hand.
Taking advantage of the moment when the demon was stunned by his shout, he snatched the needle-like object from his hand - there was no blood on it, perhaps because he felt the pain too early and it did not pierce the skin.
"I, I just..."
"Back off to the exit, or don't blame me for taking action."
The demon looked at his hands in panic, wanting to make some excuse, but before he could do so, Lotte had already reacted.
The dimensional backpack was casually thrown on the ground. Hela held it with both hands without giving the other party any time to explain, and the blue lines symbolizing activation were immediately lit up.
Lotte's cold look... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before - no, now is not the time to think about this. I covered the back of my neck that was aching from before with one hand.
"What do you want to do?"
"What happened?"
The commotion here was soon discovered by Yajie, who asked questions from afar and rushed towards him.
"I... Damn it, I failed, Blake!"
The demon who was slowly retreating shouted to the demon who was standing next to him. The moment he shouted, the demon who was still standing next to him launched a magic that should have been prepared long ago.
"Wind Blade."
As countless transparent blades carrying violent air currents rushed towards him and Lotte, the demon himself hid behind the wind blades and chased after them.
A wind blade of this strength... Ella felt relieved. Magic of this level could be easily defended with just her aura. The only problem now was not revealing her ability to cast non-chanting spells. Previously, she had always pretended to chant spells before using her skills, but in this emergency, she didn't have the time to pretend to chant spells.
"You're actually using offensive magic in the academy?!"
"Those demons—"
The moment the wind blade appeared, the team began to fall into chaos. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the others running towards him while chanting incomprehensible spells. However, this rescue was stopped by another group of people - the other demons in the class.
"Please wait and see. This is our demon clan's business. ◆●△, ◆●△——"Red Lotus Wings"
It was completely as if it had been planned in advance. All the demons stood out at the same time and formed a battle line. Unlike the awkward feeling when Jayne used it in Ryan Town, the blocking demons just chanted a simple spell and cast it out. The burning wall of fire blocked the people who wanted to rescue outside.
At the same time, Feng Ren and the demon from before also arrived.
“That’s it!”
""disperse"."
"Bang."
Through Hela's characteristics, the chanting process was avoided. The wind blade turned into an airflow and dissipated in the air as if it had hit a ball of special substance. At the same time, the demon behind the wind blade also revealed its figure. This demon, named Black by his companion, held a ball of red substance in his hand and slapped it towards Ella.
“It’s not over yet! △■□——[Explosion]!”
Lotte took a step towards Ella, blocking her way. Then, she aimed Hela at her feet, one meter away, and unleashed the strongest defensive magic she could use so far.
"Maximum Ice Wall."
In the blink of an eye, an ice wall about one meter tall appeared in the field, separating Lotte from the demons. The brilliant ice-blue color made it impossible to see what was on the other side of the wall.
“Crack…bang.”
However, it only lasted for less than two seconds before the ice wall's mission came to an end. However, the red substance in the demon's hand also disappeared.
The figure of the demon with short hair and purple eyes rapidly enlarged in the field of vision.
——Should I use a control magic without chanting? Lotte is standing in front of me. If I don't stop her, she will definitely be the first to get hurt, so——
He pushed Lotte aside and jumped to the other side at the same time - he was no longer the beginner who could do nothing at the beginning.
"It's not over yet!"
After Blake whipped his legs on the floor like a whip, he twisted his body in a way that no ordinary person could do and rushed towards him, his eyes revealing a crazy look like a dead man.
Chapter 32: Wax Seal from the Acting Demon King
"Tsk."
He slammed his lips in surprise. He had the impression that he had not done anything to offend the demons. Besides, he was a demon now, so there was no reason for these people to attack him.
While Blake was still some distance away from him, he quickly took out the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment from his dimensional backpack and pretended to chant a spell to try to distance himself from him.
"'Mighty Light'."
"I'm not one of those minions who can't even break through the aura!"
Blake yelled as he saw the beam of light coming from his side, followed by an arrow so black it seemed to absorb even sunlight.
—Minions? Are you referring to the people who attacked me earlier? Could it be that these demons have been following me the entire time? An unpleasant feeling flashed through his mind as the aura was struck by the pitch-black arrow and dissipated into the air.
It's really difficult.
He muttered to himself and prepared the next spell. Only at this time could he understand the pain of not being able to directly use attack magic to intimidate the opponent.
""accelerate"."
After comparing his own strengths and weaknesses with the opponent, he chose to use auxiliary magic that the demons could not use to create distance, while confirming the environment on the field.
This... is much more gorgeous than mine.
Before, because he was always thinking about countermeasures, he didn't pay any attention to the situation on the other side. But now, on the other side, the people who wanted to rescue him were fighting the demons with magic, and the warriors on both sides were also fighting each other. Magic lights symbolizing various attributes flashed alternately, but due to the influence of the Red Lotus Wings, he couldn't see very clearly. He could only roughly understand that with Yajie's help, the demons could not hold on for too much longer.
"'Collapse'."
boom!
--Oops.
Without any warning, the ground beneath her feet collapsed. Losing her fulcrum and with an unstable center of gravity, Ella sank directly into the floor along with the collapsing ground. Just as she was about to fall into the deep pit, she felt a shock all over her body as if she was hit by something. She barely turned her head and found that the shock came from Blake's push behind her.
How could he not have fallen into his trap? What was going on? Wait, why was it that needle again?
Since his body was still in the air and he couldn't change his posture, he could only use the tip of the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment to knock Blake's hand away when the needle-like object in Blake's hand was about to pierce him, but this could not change the shortening of the distance between Blake and himself.
Damn it, is this all I can reveal about my ability to use magic without chanting? That's... Lotte?
"Ice Wolf Attack."
As the wolf-shaped monster, formed from ice crystals, charged towards Black, Lotte, having confirmed her target, finally ran out of mana and lost her fighting ability. However, this final attack magic had a crucial effect.
“Hmm—”
Blake's hand, which was swinging towards him, only touched his hair before passing by him, and the two of them landed in different places.
"◇●◆——『Low-level Sealing Formation』."
Finally, the battle on the other side ended. Yajie's reinforcements arrived, and Blake was restrained by magic and unable to move, which gave him time to gain distance. Ultimately, he still didn't understand why the demons would attack him, and Blake's actions didn't seem to indicate any intention of harming him—except for that unknown syringe.
He seemed to hear Blake's voice in his ears, and then a pitch-black bird appeared from nowhere and flew out of Blake's hand, with several golden threads shining on its claws.
"That's the conclusion, I guess. I'll leave it to you from now on."
Just seconds after Blake finished his instructions, the bird-shaped monster flew out of the arena and disappeared without a trace.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, it's just a few scratches. Thank you, Sister Yajie."
The previous battle must have been very exhausting. There were a few beads of sweat on Yajie's smooth forehead. After pulling herself up from the ground, she glared at Blake.
"What exactly do you demons want to do? Aren't the memories of the Demon God era enough for you? Now you're using offensive magic against the students at the Holy Academy. Can I consider this a provocation to the Holy Academy?"
"No, we are not provoking you, and we have no intention of harming Lady Elelaya. However, we have reasons that we cannot disclose. If you wish to investigate this matter, please read this."
Facing the enraged Yajie, Blake showed no sign of panic. Compared to the large seal he had used previously, Yajie's seal seemed to only be able to restrict the opponent's feet. Blake pulled out a scroll with intricate patterns from his pocket and threw it at Yajie's feet.
With a skeptical attitude, Yajie stared at Blake while bending down to pick up the scroll. When she saw the wax seal sealing the scroll, her originally skeptical expression turned solemn.
"Is this... the emblem of His Majesty, Camisia Nott Mistydin, the Acting Demon Lord of the West?"
"Yes, this operation was also ordered by Her Majesty the Queen. The reasons and instructions are written in the scroll."
"I can't handle this alone. I need you and all the demons present to come with me to the academy to explain."
Blake turned his head slightly and looked at Ella.
"It's alright, but please don't disturb Lady Elelaya."
"Yeah—okay, no problem, let's go now."
Yajie tapped the ground with her staff to release the seal. Blake nodded, bowed solemnly to Ella, and told the other demons to stop resisting and follow Yajie out of the venue.
Only himself, the exhausted Ruthie, and the other students who were looking at each other in bewilderment were left in the entire venue.
Acting Demon King of the West? Don't disturb Lady Elelaya? What the hell is this? I've never even heard of a Demon King, have I? Such a chaotic scene can be explained with just one scroll? What the hell just happened!
I had no idea what was going on. Could it be that this plan had been in the works for a long time? It had been six months since the demons started appearing around me? Six months just to plan one thing... I felt like I was in some big trouble.
"Is Lotte not hurt?"
"Yeah, I just ran out of magic power. It will take some time to recover."
He reached out and helped Lotte up from the ground. Although he wanted to ask who that Camisia was, he gave up because he was afraid that others would hear him and ask himself "Why doesn't she know this when she is a demon?"
I can only leave the rest of the matters to the academy to handle and then I can listen to the results myself. Damn it, I must switch to the state of Loli God and investigate it myself afterwards.
"Can I help you?"
"No need, I can take Lotte with me. And thank you."
After thanking the students who had helped her fight the demons, Ella carried Lotte, who was unable to walk due to exhaustion of magic power, on her back and left the venue under the gaze of the others.
Chapter 33: The Demon Queen Elelaya and the Demon King's Followers
*创世纪6186年4月25日 下午16:08分 至圣学院商业街
In a dim alley, a group of demons with purple pupils and wrapped in black clothes gathered together. At this time, a demon ran out from outside, panting and handing over the bird monster in his hand.
"B-Blake failed, but, in the end, he had his retainer bring the hair of someone who looked like the princess."
"Well, leave it to me. Prepare to execute the second phase of the plan. It's been six months since we learned about the 'Demon Healer', right? After six months of preparation, it's time to test it today."
The person who should be the leader in the crowd reached out and took the bird monster, then pinched the golden hair in his hand. A faint blue light attached to his hand. He should be performing an identification skill.
