34 â Preparation to be one step ahead â 1
âYou set up a base in a place like this? âAre you just going to attack one academy?â
âThatâs right. And not just at all, but just barely. It was built as large as possible without disturbing the chairmanâs sensibilities. âIf we had been able to build it bigger, we would have attacked the imperial palace instead of the academy.â
âIt would be a task just to get to the academy without getting caught here. Anyway, there is no such thing as common sense.â
âDonât speak without thinking. âIf the distance had been closer, the chairman would have caught me.â
âI just did it?! âHow can you not say a word?!â
Rosaria and Priscilla walked away, bickering with each other.
Maybe because they shared the fact that they were possessed people who were trapped in the same regression, the two seemed to be incompatible, but strangely enough, they got along well with each other. The fact that we ended up talking like that is also the same.
âWell, Iâm not doing this because I donât trust you. Thereâs still a month left until the midterm exam. But youâve already started preparing? Why?â
âI said it myself when I was fighting the Succubus Queen. Do you think it would be so easy to invade a place guarded by the female dragon Beligor? âThe more thorough the preparation, the better.â
âUgh, the preparation for the topic of demons is useless. âIs it possible that the words themselves are a bluff?â
âNothing.â
ââ¦â¦ Really? âWhat is the basis?â
âItâs an experience. âIâve experienced it over 100 times so far.â
â⦠â¦.â
In the end, it was the same as saying that there was no proper basis, but Rosaria could not refute those words. If you hadnât met me right away, you were destined to end up in the same situation as Priscilla.
She said that she could tell from the experience she had accumulated by returning over a hundred times, but as Rosalia, who had experienced similar things herself, she could not help but be dumb.
âActually, there is one more thing. All the succubus needs to do is blow on it, and the possessed humans will do the rest. âOnce the place is properly established, the humans will take care of bringing sacrifices and build up strength, so we can prepare step by step for a long time without worrying about the magic energy leaking out.â
âWell, then whatâ¦â â¦.â
Once I was that confident, it seemed like there was no longer any doubt. Rosaria slowly slowed down her walking pace. It seemed she had changed her target to me. After seeing that, Priscillaâs steps gradually slowed down.
âYou know, Mira. I have a question for you too. What happened to that person? She had been at the academy for a few days when she suddenly returned to the imperial palace. âDo you know anything?â
âOh, that?â
Because the two of us here had nothing to hide, I explained everything that happened last night.
As he said, only four days after coming as a special teacher, Geomseong returned to the imperial palace, declaring that something urgent had come up and that he would not be able to take on the position of a special teacher for the time being.
The reason was, of course, because of Karna. He is the first disciple of the Sword Saint, who returned from a murderous demon to a human after seven years.
âBut it was fortunate.â
The title of being a student of the Sword Saint in the past does not go anywhere, but Karna had just come to her senses and although she was in a confused situation, she was able to guess the front and back of her situation almost perfectly by looking at my expression and her own situation.
Everything from the fact that I saved him from being a murderer, that it was completely unexpected, and that he would be in a lot of trouble if someone else found out.
So Karna kissed her on the spot for me, her benefactor. She lied to the Sword Saint, saying that she was good enough to shake off the karma of a murderer and come to her senses.
I was very shy because I still had a weak personality, but once I started acting, I did very well. It seemed like his desire to help me was greater than his shame.
âGeomseong seemed to be in a hurry, but⦠â¦.â
Perhaps because he knew better than anyone else that his student wasnât that type of person, Geomseong looked skeptical.
If he had completely believed Karnaâs words in the first place, he would not have gone as far as saying, âI was next to you when you woke up, so Iâm sure it would have helped you anywayâ and even offered to give me a separate reward.
âAh, so the Royal Guard came instead?â
âIn some ways, itâs a better thing for the kids who want to learn swords. âThe Sword Master beat everyone up, saying he would teach them if he won, but the Royal Guard even set up a separate lecture time in the evening to teach them.â
Of course, Geomseong did not go away empty-handed. He left behind five Royal Guards who were weaker than the Sword Saint, but still clearly stronger than the Academy students, as special teachers.
In addition, he even said that after his return, he would teach anyone who wanted to learn equally without having to beat him, so there were almost no complaints about him leaving on his own.
âIt was thanks to him that I was able to bring only Priscilla out. When the Sword Saint went to the imperial palace, he took Brunhild and Aria with him.â
He said he planned to tell them honestly why he did what he did when they first met and then ask for their forgiveness. It seemed like he was trying to make amends for his unruly behavior.
âSomehow. âThe four of you always hang out together, but today it was just the two of you.â
âSo you really can stay here? âWhat about the nuns?â
âI created an alter ego that resembles me with divine power and left one behind. No, not even an alter egoâ¦â¦ Is it just something that has similar divine power to me? I put it on the bed as if I was sleeping, locked the door, and came out, so it should be okay for a while. âItâs not like they have the means to track me.â
ââ¦â¦ âIs that possible?â
âOf course it didnât work in the past. But it started happening at some point.â
Before she met me, she was treated like that all the time she was trapped in Rosariaâs body, but seeing her display such abilities shows that her talent itself was outstanding. Itâs not for nothing that sheâs called a saint candidate.
After that, after walking for a while with Rosaria leading the conversation, we arrived in front of a steep cliff. Priscilla pointed to the wall in front.
âHere. âA place to gather people for suicide summons and terrorism.â
âThereâs nothing?â
It was really just a wall, without even the usual crevices or caves. Rosalia tilted her head.
âBecause itâs covered by magic.â
Priscilla raised her wand and began her chant.
From noble mtl dot com
âShatter, chains. Break the bonds, throw away the lies, and return to your original self.â
A chant representing the highest order spell removal magic flowed from her mouth, and the mana gathered at the tip of her staff spread out like powder. The magic circle covering the entire cliff was revealed.
The magic circle that touched the powder melted like cotton candy. Soon, the entrance to a large cave appeared where Priscilla had pointed.
âWhat? âCan it be solved this easily?â
âIt wasnât resolved easily. It looks like that because I used the highest level spell removal magic. âIn the current timeline, it hasnât even been created yet.â
ââ¦â¦ âHow is it that whatever you do you are at the highest level, and whatever you do seems to be magic that hasnât been created yet?â
âBecause itâs a magic Iâve used before. The magic I will use in the future can still be used with my eyes closed. âIf you regress more than 100 times, you can become like me.â
â⦠â¦.â
Rosaria became mute again due to Priscillaâs almighty shield. If you add up the time spent on regression over there, itâs over 20 years, but the comparison is ridiculous.
âThen inside-â
âWait a minute. Just in case, letâs use stealth magic and letâs go.â
She snapped her fingers and wrapped around the three bodies. Rosaria smoothed her forearm with her curious eyes as her body became translucent and at the same time became like a hazy mist. Then she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked a question.
âDonât you chant when you use magic?â
âIn that world, you could just think in your mind without saying anything. âIt was very difficult until I got used to it because I had to think in the language of the other world.â
âThe language of the other world?â
She seemed to be intrigued by Rosalia, so I explained some of her simple magic to her, and a look of disgust appeared on her face.
âUgh. âWhat is that crazy language?â
âWriting and magic were the exclusive domain of ânobleâ nobles. So, even if it leaked out, we added various modifiers to it so that âinferiorâ commoners wouldnât recognize it, and it turned out like this.â
Even the basic fire magic that creates a small flame at the tip of the finger has a modifier longer than my name. Since basic magic was like that, there was no need to explain the highest level magic.
When I told her the name of the world behind the soul purification magic I used to free Karna from his murderous form, Rosaria asked what she had just heard and was disgusted.
âWow, that world wasnât crazy either? âHow did you live in a place like that?â
âI tried desperately not to die. Letâs stop chatting and get into it. âIâll take more time and then get caught.â
Finally, she used soundproofing magic and entered the cave. Priscilla, who had been coming here for every episode, led the way with her natural, flowing steps.@@novelbin@@
Priscilla stopped in front of a dead-end road, wondering how far she had gone until countless traps had turned into a handful of mana and there was no fork in the road.
âHere. The breeding grounds are behind here. For a moment. âIâll cancel the magic circle.â
Priscilla raised her wand and was about to use the spell removal spell again.
ââ¦â¦ !â
Sensing the life inside me, I used magic to pull Priscilla to me. Her body flew behind her, and a huge ax grazed the spot where her head had been just moments before.
I pulled out my eternity and prepared for battle. Priscilla still had no idea what had just happened, and Rosaria looked bewildered.
âGet your weapons. âItâs the enemy.â
As I paid attention to the two, the empty space that looked like a wall shook slightly. Someone walked out from inside.
âAs expected, there is nothing wrong with what the Great Demon King said! âYou even predicted something like this!â
The lower half of the body was that of a large brown horse, and the upper half of the body was half man and half horse with the appearance of a large, muscular man. My forearms were thicker than my torso. In his right hand, he was holding a double-edged ax of enormous size.
ââ¦â¦ Commander of the 6th Corps?â
A centaur who uses a double-edged ax must be the commander of the 6th Legion. How can a guy like that get here?
I looked back at Priscilla. She looked very embarrassed, as if she hadnât expected this to happen. This means that something has changed this time too.
That too in a very bad way.
âWhat did the devil do?â
She took a step forward. The guy hung his ax on his shoulder and shouted energetically.
âHe said he prophesied that humans would come here, you little thing!â
ââ¦â¦ âWhy are you telling me that?â
Is it possible that he, like the maker, has a needlessly chatty personality? I think Priscilla said she was just a brain muscle crazy about fighting.
The guy snorted with a very ugly smile.
âIf there is a human coming here, he told me to make sure to tell him! âI just faithfully follow the Demon Kingâs orders!â
