Chapter 71: Open It, Now!
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
For some reason, a strong demon that should be in the deepest part of the ruins, appeared at the entrance.
I quickly took it down.
“For now, shall we pretend that Char beat it?”
“I felt uncomfortable taking brother’s credit…”
“Just bear with me.”
It’s for my freedom.
“You can write the report if you want, as long as you’re confident that you can deceive the headmaster.”
I will never let that woman, who cannot tolerate injustice and lies, to know it.
I turned around and look at every one. Char, Iris, and across the screen is Professor Tia.
I don’t think I can fool them.
I’ll figure that out later. Right now, exploring comes first.
I put off the problem and we all headed to the building as a party-.
The temple-like building was brand new, unlike the decaying surroundings.
“The fact that it doesn’t deteriorate over time is a mystery to me. But, I’m sure it’s due to ancient magic.”
Ancient magic was very useful.
“In addition, it is presumed that the demons that live there do not maintain the ecosystem, because the types are disjointed, and there are demons that originally live in forests and water.”
“How do they stay alive?”
“That’s also a mystery. But that’s why it’s easier to deal with it because its habitat is fixed.”
“Did you see the demon that was supposed to be in the deepest part of the room earlier?”
“…Isn’t it? That’s what I’m also wondering about. This has never happened before since the discovery of the ruins of Olympus. Well, if you keep going, you might get something out of it. Good luck with that.”
Don’t talk like it was someone else’s business. OH, it’s someone else’s business, indeed.
We proceeded down a luxurious road that looked like marble and was smooth.
A map was displayed in front of me with a plate-like ward. The data was based on past exploration materials that Professor Tia obtained (probably illegally) from somewhere. The location where we currently in flickered on and off.
“I don’t know that kind of magic existed.”
“Isn’t my younger sister amazing?”
“No matter how you look at it, Haruto. You’re the one controlling it, not the other way around.”
“You’re the one who cares about the details. She’s making me do this for you.
“I don’t understand…”
But, I’m sure you’ll be able to work it out somehow. It’s reassuring to have someone you could trust.
“Oops. Right here.”
He took the vanguard, broke the corner, and immediately turned back.
“What’s the matter, brother?”
“There’s something wrong.”
I peeked out, hiding behind the wall altogether.
There was a knight in full body armor who was also wearing a helmet. He held his sword upright and carried a large shield. He was wandering around the crossroads with his cloak ducking and clinking.
”Which one, which one? Hee, it’s ‘Wandering Knight’. It’s an undead type demon, born with a grudge in its armor. It’s empty inside.”
“Who’s stronger compared to a goblin?”
For now, I want to compare it to a weak-looking demon. I’ve never even met a goblin before.
“Hahaha, that’s an interesting question. It’s a difficult enemy that requires magic level 30 on its own. In addition, they rarely act as a single unit. But usually, they’re in units of four or five. Is that a scout?”
“I see. By the way, did it just look at you?”
“Un, it totally noticed us.”
The knight in armor raised his sword and roaring something garbled words.
“This is bad. I’m going to call my friends.”
As soon as I said it, Iris jumped out of the way. She ran so fast that it kicked off the floor and then to the wall. It was stuck in the ceiling and then jumped straight down…
“Seryaaa!”
The armored knight was at the mercy of her movements and cannot react. A shining fist struck down to its brain.
Bekko. It painfully crushed the helmet.
The light that had enveloped Iris’s fist shifted to the knight and covered his entire body. While letting out a voice of anguish, his body lurched and sank to the floor.
“No, this is surprising. Originally, she is outstanding when it comes to martial arts and surprise attacks. But not to the extent that she could reverse the difference in magic level. It’s a good thing that she was able to directly strike the opposing “Light” attribute, which is also unique to her as an “Extra-Standard Attribute”.”
Iris was raised by me. Can I say this?
“But, hmmm…”
“What is it?”
“No, beats me. I am weaker in terms of the body than the demons. Even though they support you in defense, you don’t usually fight to crush the enemy with your own body alone. That’s common sense, right?”
Is that so? I didn’t know that.
“Her fights are… kind of like those of the demon race. A person with a human body won’t chose that move as a first choice.”
“Well, I guess each person is different, isn’t it?”
I rather not care.
I’m more concerned about Iris running towards this way. What’s with her face?
“My friend is here!”
Ah, I knew I’d get called over.
“I mean, isn’t that a lot?”
They’re coming from three different directions at the crossroads. It’s not just four or five bodies.
“It looks like there were multiple units nearby. From what I saw, there were close to 30 of them.”
Iris was able to handle one of them in a surprise attack, but not that many, right? Well, that’s why I’m running away.
Char and I met up with Iris and run away.
The armored knights are chasing us with clanking metals.
“Now, that’s strange. Why do you are we meeting such a difficult enemy at such level?”
“I mean, we’ve only encountered difficult enemies so far?”
“Un, that’s the point. We should suspect someone of intervening, even though it’s not enough to confirm it yet.”
It was Iris who responded to Professor Tia’s suspicions.
“The first thing to suspect is whoever imposed this reckless test, isn’t it?”
“Hmm, I wonder? For better or worse, Dean is a good person. She’s not going to do anything even more reckless than she already is.”
“Besides…” said Professor Tia with a serious look on her face,
“I don’t think it’s possible to manipulate the appearance of demons in this still uncharted territory. It might be possible—”
“Demons?”
Professor Tia nodded at my words. Iris, who was running alongside me, widened her eyes in surprise.
“This is your first time hearing about it, Iris-kun. A demon was involved in the recent rebellion in the capital. The possibility that the remnants of the party had their eyes on you and messed with you is undeniable.”
It’s not really decided to do that, but if we continue our search, the mastermind might show up.
“I don’t want to talk about it while I’m running. Why don’t we take care of the back one?”
“You two are flying, aren’t you?
It’s a pain in the ass to run.
“Char, finish it.”
“All right, brother.”
Char spun around and ducked. She swung her stick as she flew backward.
A number of light bullets fly out. I cover them with wards and increase their power and speed.
The armored knights were pierced by the light bullets one after another and were annihilated in the blink of an eye.
“That number of Wandering Knights so easily…”
“Iris-san, it’s easier to think of it that way, isn’t it?”
I’ve already had enough trouble. I’ll open this place up and report to the headmaster that ‘there were no demons’ or something like that.
“Then let’s hurry up and get on with it.”
For the sake of my reclusive life at the academy, let’s get the stuff we want as soon as possible.
By the way.
“Ufufu, working together with you, brother… I can’t stop being elated!”
I thought it would be helpful if she didn’t say that kind of thing –.
