How to Survive at the Academy Chapter 242

Subjugation of Velbroke (10)

When the two one-eyed giants stood up with their massive bodies, their eyes met the top floor of the lofty imperial residence.

As he waved his hand with a dull movement and smashed one side of the imperial residence, the outer wall collapsed. The soldiers were shooting arrows from the roof side, but the giant didn’t even show signs of being eaten.

While the two one-eyed giants stood tall in the central garden of the imperial residence and destroyed everything around them, Princess Penia was running through the first floor hallway with Emperor Chloel.

His body was already full of scratches, and the hem of his dress was torn. Uncomfortable to run, he took off his shoes and threw them away, and even his new white soft feet were sore and bleeding.

Princess Penia ran away with a frown on her face, and behind her, three giant bats were chasing the hallway walls.

Occasionally, soldiers appeared and threw themselves in their way, but they were able to keep them a little bit farther away, but not completely out of the way.

And I wonder if there is any meaning in being bullied in the first place. The garden of the imperial residence was already full of countless monsters, and everywhere was filled with the sound of soldiers brandishing their swords.

There is no escape route.

Even my body was hurt a lot.

When he was hiding in the audience room with Emperor Chloel, he used almost all of his magical energy to escape from the giant bats that attacked him. In the process, he left a scar on his forearm and a large stab wound on his right shoulder, but it was not a situation where he would leave when he felt sick.

“your majesty! Get out through the back door! I have a carriage waiting!”

A brave knight shouted while blocking the giant bat.

“Escape to a safer place. Our imperial guards will block this place no matter what!”

Even if you go out to the back gate and get on the carriage, you don’t know where you will be headed. Aken Island is already covered with monsters.

Still, it’s better than standing still. Emperor Chloel nodded and ran faster, holding Princess Fenia’s arm.

“Aaaaaagh! ”

As I entered the corridor, I heard the soldier’s scream behind me. As expected, blocking it alone was reckless.

He somehow managed to save his life by throwing loyal knights away like expendable items.

Emperor Chloe sighed sadly with a serious face, and Princess Penia also closed her eyes tightly.

As I exited the back of the main building of the imperial residence without even having time to catch my breath, the night air filled my lungs. The cold air raised my spirits even further, but when I saw the amount of monsters still covering the sky, I felt far away.

Princess Fenia hardened her heart again, and this time she took the lead and ran towards the back door.

If we continue like this, we might be discovered by the monsters flying in the sky. Still, it’s a hundred times better than standing still and getting hurt.

Emperor Chloel, who couldn’t bear the courage, took a deep breath and ran.

The monsters flying in the sky stare at the two without a doubt. It’s like two people who seem to be lacking in fighting ability are running for their lives.

It was the moment when the grotesquely twisted griffin spread its wings, convinced that it had found a good scapegoat.

At that moment, the vast sky disappeared. Thousands of elemental magic circles covered the sky, and the flashes emitted from them instantly colored the world.

I was lucky. There is no other more appropriate expression than that.

The moment the magic circles manifested by Lucy’s magic cover the sky, all the monsters floating in the sky focus on the magic circles.

Whether it be a human or a monster, a magic circle of a scale never seen before in my life.

No matter how much Lucy Meiril is, the huge number of magic circles makes all the audiences on Aken Island stunned.

Eventually, when the magic dwelling in those countless magic circles is manifested… the world is dyed in a flash of light.

– Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

An explosion of a scale beyond the limit instantly erases the world.

Light, much faster than sound, covers the sky, and the sound of the explosion that follows pains your eardrums.

Not only numerous monsters floating in the sky, but even Velbrok, who was wrapped in chains, began to struggle in pain.

The countless monsters that covered the sky all disappeared, even for an instant.

Six pieces of rain pour down from the sky. The fragmented corpses of monsters cover Aken Island, and the green forest and gray-white buildings are also dyed red.

– patter

– Woowook Hu

All things covered in blood seem to embody hell.

Fenia continued to run along the back of the garden, feeling goose bumps all over her body.

Almost all the monsters that covered the sky disappeared because of that blow.

Of course, considering the power of Valveroke, who constantly summons monsters, it is only a matter of time before it is covered in quantity again.

Still, this moment is the only time to escape to the safety zone.

Avoiding only the monsters who have already landed on the ground, they somehow find a safe area. So, for now, I can protect Emperor Chloel’s personal safety.

When I reached the back door with such confidence, I saw the huge carriage the knight had mentioned standing there. Princess Penny Klitschko gritted her teeth and ran out, and she quickly put Emperor Chloe in the carriage.

Then, stepping on the outside door of the wagon and going to the driver’s seat, he shouted urgently to the window.

“Let’s go right now! Quickly!”

After saying that, I looked inside the driver’s seat and held my breath.

A corpse of an old and mature coachman.

While waiting for the princess and the emperor at the coachman’s seat, he was attacked and killed by a gremlin. A huge sword was stuck in his shoulder blade.

And, a gremlin devouring such a corpse met eyes with Princess Penia. Princess Fenia felt goosebumps all over, from the tips of her toes to the tips of her head, as well as every single lining of her intestines.

The gremlin drew a sword and roared at Fenia, who was clinging to the wagon.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Fenia quickly pushed her body to the side, but she crashed into the arm of the gremlin that broke the driver’s seat door and jumped out.

After rolling on the mud floor, Fenia saw the gremlin grabbing the sword in reverse and trying to pierce her. She literally rolled over to her side, and although she wasn’t stabbed, her whole body was covered in mud.

Princess Penia stood up without hesitation and gathered her mana. Water magic, which she specializes in. I pulled out her water polo and blew it at the gremlin.

The gremlin, hit directly by the magic, took a few steps back with a scream of pain. Fenia raised her trembling body and put another trick into the gremlin’s eye.

The gremlin covers its eyes and takes advantage of the gap in pain to cast the lieutenant’s water magic ‘Drowning’.

A puddle of water emerged from near the gremlin’s head, blocking his respiratory tract.

The Gremlin resisted for a long time and tried to release her magic, but Princess Penia did not lose her concentration even while shedding blood. After maintaining the magic for such a long time, the gremlin eventually lost her mind and collapsed.

It’s not even a very strong elite monster, but I wasted too much time. Even the magic of the body feels exhausted.

Still, Princess Penia gnashed her teeth and got up and got on the coachman’s seat. When she saw her coachman’s corpse, half spilled out of her entrails with the blood, she was about to lose her mind again.

Princess Penia managed to somehow move with her physically exhausted body and push the coachman out of the carriage. Her coachman’s corpse lay on the floor like garbage. Feeling sorry for Princess Penia’s failure to properly respect her deceased, she raised her prayers for a moment and grabbed her whip. Fortunately for her, her horses seem to be still unharmed.

It was possible to evacuate out of the imperial residence somehow.

His whole body was covered in blood and mud, and even though he was not a horse… his life was safe.

The moment I thought so, the two horses exploded as they were stepped on by the one-eyed giant’s feet.

It happened in an instant.

– Kooung

Jjeouk, and blood clings to the giant’s feet.

When he looked up, a one-eyed giant who had escaped from the garden was looking down at Princess Fenia’s carriage.

It feels like I just killed the horse because I was trying to get rid of it at once, but Joon failed. The one-eyed giant gave a terrifying laugh as he said he would definitely step on it this time. Those huge feet rise again toward the sky.

Die.

being trampled on and bursting to death

There is no means to resist.

I had to struggle to catch a low-level gremlin, but there was no way to catch such a high-ranking monster.

The one-eyed giant, who slowly adjusted the position of his feet, was about to deliver the final blow.

– Bang! Quaang!

The blonde-haired man who came down as if he was falling on top of the carriage couldn’t bear to land properly and hit the outer wall and rolled once. Regardless of this, she grabbed Princess Fenia’s arm and threw herself out of her carriage.

The man who rolled on the floor with Princess Fenia in his arms was definitely… Ed Roth Taylor.

“Huh…!”

At the same time, a water lioness came out of the carriage carrying Emperor Chloel.

After that, it was a second later that the carriage exploded as it was stepped on by the giant’s feet.

– Kwaaaang!

The dust rises.

Sneezing in it, Fenia, who finally came to her senses, saw the man hugging her.

And hold your breath again.

The man, Fenia, was seriously injured beyond comparison.

The amount of bleeding is unusual. Even so, much of the bleeding has stopped, and the wounds all over the body are in a mess as if they were stabbed and pierced by something like an awl.

It would be a painful situation even if you were just breathing, but you saved Fenia.

“Ed… Ross Taylor…! you…!”

Before he could say anything, the one-eyed giant’s eyes turned to the two of them. Penny came back to her senses at that moment. She wasn’t the time to be still. If she continues like this, she will only be crushed by the giant’s feet.

However, the giant never raised its feet again.

– Whoa!

The fire lizard that pulled out its huge body was a little bigger than the one-eyed giant.

It was like watching a monster fight, but Tarkan’s fire magic was a fatal blow to a one-eyed giant with no magic resistance.

Flames poured from Tarkan’s mouth and covered the one-eyed giant.

The ones riding on the top of its head were Yenica Failover and… Princess Penia’s older sister Selah.

“This… this…”

“Princess Fenia.”

Ed endured the excruciating pain and stood up, making eye contact with Princess Fenia right in front of his nose.

“I’m so glad you’re alive…”

Seeing Fenia’s safety until the end with a bloody appearance… Fenia is greatly embarrassed.

He ran to the royal family’s lodgings where this Hell Road spread out in order to protect Penia even if it was like this.

Ed’s blood dripped down Fenia’s cheek.

Fenia was surprised and looked at Ed quietly with shaking pupils… and then spoke first.

“Treatment… don’t you need to be treated? It’s time to do this now…!”

– Whoa!

Tarkan, who overpowered the one-eyed giant, lowered his head, and Princess Yenika and Sellaha jumped from above.

Landing on the grass, the two quickly ran and supported Emperor Chloe, who was selaha, and Yenika, who supported Ed Rosteiler.

“Abama! Are you okay!”

“You are all right, my daughter Selaha! I was worried about you…! thank god. What a relief!”

“I also saw that Obama was safe…”

Shelaha let out a sigh of relief and couldn’t finish her words.

After putting Fenia down in his arms, Ed barely got up with Jenika’s support.

“Ed! I’m not feeling well… What if I suddenly jump like that! Seriously, Ed… With this much bleeding, it wouldn’t be strange if he died right away…!”

When Yenica exclaimed in a worried voice, Ed raised his head again and spoke.

“I don’t have time for a long explanation. Princess Penia. You have to go to where Taylor is right now.”

“I beg your pardon…?”

“We must… catch that dragon here and now. Otherwise, it will be a disaster that spreads throughout the empire.”

Hearing those words, Emperor Chloel, who managed to stand up with Sellaha’s support, spoke.

“You… Sir Ed Rosteeler…”

“Your Majesty… It’s an urgent situation, so I’d like to slowly organize the situation and deliver it to you… but we don’t have time for that.”

Ed spoke while holding back the rising pain.

“First of all… A place where Taily might be… Even though Taily’s party was gathered, it was a garrison close to Trix Hall… Ophelis Hall… You should head to Ophelis Hall… It’s better there than here. It will be safer… and… kuh…”

Ed frowned as he bled once more. Yenica, who was supporting her Ed, looked at him and closed her eyes tightly, then she spoke to Princess Penia.

“Medical staff. There are no medical staff! Ed needs to be treated first!”

“Well, it looks like that, but right now, the monsters have invaded the center of the royal residence… In fact, it’s safe to say that there are no medical staff left! I think almost all of them… are dead…”

“I’ve come this far… Ed can’t get treatment?”

Princess Fenia looked at Ed’s scars with trembling eyes.

“But… yes… somehow… even a simple first aid… how to do it…”

“All right. You can go to Ophelis Hall for treatment.”

Anyway, Ed Rosteiler’s purpose in coming here is not to receive treatment.

Ed’s reason for coming here was clear even in the midst of a situation where his mind was going crazy.

“If we confirmed that Princess Penia is safe, then that’s it.”

Fenia still looked at Ed with a dumbfounded expression.

It was a long relationship, and most of it was a relationship that led to a contract… but it was because I never thought that Ed would do everything for himself like this.

In such a physical condition, with the determination to save Fenia, he ran to the royal residence. It was a tremendous amount of willpower just by looking at it.

“Ed… Ross Taylor… you… you…”

Ed gritted his teeth and turned his gaze back to Emperor Chloel.

In any case, the goal now is to catch Valvelock. To do so, he had to take Princess Penia with him.

In a situation like this, if you said that you would put Fenia in the Valveroke subjugation party, there was no way Emperor Chloel would approve.

Still, I had to explain the situation as best I could and take Fenia away.

“Your Majesty the Emperor.”

Ed lowered his head, not caring about the blood running down his face.

“As you may already be fully aware of, what is happening now is in fact a national catastrophe. If we can’t solve it here and now, the casualties will far exceed tens of thousands of units. Maybe… it wouldn’t be strange to say that the empire’s lifeline was cut off here.”

“That’s… that’s right…”

“I don’t know whether you will believe it or not. Still, let me tell you, there is a way to subdue Velbroke. But… of course it’s not easy. I’ll try, though…”

After refusing Yenica’s support for a while, Ed walked away on his own and bowed his head in front of Emperor Chloel.

“I need Princess Fenia. Please allow me to take Princess Penia.”

“…”

Fenia, who was lying on the floor, suddenly blushed and shook her shoulders.

Princess Sellaha, who was supporting Emperor Chloel, looked at it quietly, then suddenly raised her voice.

“Ed Rosteyler! Doesn’t it feel a bit strange to ask for something like that!”

At Selaha’s words, there was silence at first.

No one would think of it that way, and you might think that I was making a fuss… but I was talking more sincerely than I thought.

That would be the case, because Fenia’s expression was unusual from a while ago.

Yenica seemed to have strangely developed something like wild claws… She was staring at the surroundings with a slightly uneasy face.

However, Emperor Chloel is a man of insight.

The more urgent the situation, the more he always penetrates to the point.

“Recklessness must not be mistaken for courage, Ed Rosteeler. That Seongchangryong… is a mythical monster that Luden, the first swordsman, had to risk his life for.”

“Even so, you cannot resist and die as a dog. If we don’t finish here, the damage will spread to the entire continent. For now, I plan to gather together the forces of the various garrisons within Aken Island to resist.”

“Are you going to call together those who are torn apart and scattered all over the island, each of whom can’t stand it, and who can’t move quickly?”

“Fortunately, I can convince the leaders of each garrison.”

Combat Division Student Chief Dyke Elphelan,

Lortel Kecheln, Acting President of the Sylvania Branch of the Elte Firm.

Sylvania Academy student body president Tanya Rosteyler.

Saint Clarisse of the Church of Telos.

Bell Maia, the head maid of Ophelis House, the highest-ranking dormitory.

They all have different values, different ways of life, and different courses of action in emergencies like these.

However, if there is only one common denominator among these different people… it is that a man named Ed Rosteeler is connected at the center of their tangled human relationship.

Already, the spirits carrying Jenika’s letter flew and scattered all over the island of Aken.

Originally, it would have been difficult to send the spirits because of the monsters that were lined up, but Lucy’s magic temporarily took advantage of the moment when the demons in the sky were swept away… conditions were created to send messages much faster.

Lucy’s elemental magic was a near-death movement… but as a result, it made it possible to connect more quickly between the garrisons.

“I sent a message asking you to take responsibility and gather at the Ophelis Hall; In any case, you must all know that if you hold on without any promise in the current situation, you will only face catastrophe.”

Among the dying merchants, Lortel was protecting the building by dealing with monsters with freezing magic. Karis, a lower wind spirit in the shape of a sparrow, flew in and sat on her shoulder.

While the merchant’s mercenaries fight screamingly, outsiders seeking protection are constantly pouring into the merchant’s building.

In the midst of such chaos, Lortel found a letter tied to the feet of the spirit sitting on her shoulder, and quickly took it out and read it.

It’s a dizzying crisis situation, but I somehow laugh and look up at the sky covered with magic circles.

I thought it was a gamble worth taking.

The same goes for Dyke Elphelan, who is conducting the rescue of survivors at the Combat Division training ground. After accepting Ed’s letter, he rested his chin on his chin and thought about it, and before long he shouted to the students of the combat unit stationed there.

The road to Ophelis Hall had already been cleared to some extent by the blood-crazed Clevius. Running along that road is low risk. It was a decision worth making.

Tanya Roth Taylor, who headed to the living quarters, also nodded after accepting the letter. She has already left Jiggs for Ophelis Coffin, so it wouldn’t hurt for her to follow suit. In particular, if it was a garrison centered on Ed Rothyler, it would be safer that way since in fact many of the core forces within the bachelor would gather.

The distance is a little longer, but with the Ophelis tube, there is a greater chance that you will be guaranteed safety. It might be right to break the movement route even now. First of all, it’s because it’s safest to move along Ed Roth Taylor’s line.

The same goes for Saint Clarisse, who was gathering with the clergy at the Haksa Cathedral and holding a sit-in.

Because she had heard some rumors about Velbroke’s resurrection, she was able to deal with it more calmly than she thought. Although she was resurrected faster than expected, it was because her heart was ready.

Clarice had been waiting for Ed to contact her from the beginning. Because if it was the man who foresaw the resurrection of Bell Broque, he would try to contact me by any means and discuss the course of action.

At first, Clarisse didn’t even doubt the plan to gather at the Ophelis House and go to subdue that Velbrok.

In order to give instructions to the clergy, he just quickly ran towards the barricade in the plaza in front of the cathedral.

“I can be sure. Everyone will gather at the Ophelis Hall.”

“Ha… heh heh…”

Emperor Chloe laughed as if it were absurd.

Even the emperor of a country is mixed with greetings that are difficult to control at once. In particular, great figures like Saint Clarisse and Deputy Lord Lortel were more likely to make conservative judgments in such an urgent situation.

Is it possible to capture such people at once and bring them together into the House of Ophelis?

Those who lead the pack always have to calculate the risk. I know better than anyone how difficult it is to forcibly relocate a base and gather in one place while fighting monsters… how politically arduous it is to make all the different heads move with one mind.

Even so, this man is convinced that he can unite the forces that have been torn apart here and there.

People who can do that fall into one of two categories.

or the incarnation of politics.

Or a hero.

which one is this guy Emperor Chloe stared at the bleeding Ed for a moment, but didn’t come to a conclusion.

Either way it doesn’t matter.

Right now, it is important to address the situation at hand.

Whether it’s a smirk who is good at politics or a hero who can control people… The key is that the leaders of the garrison obey Ed’s will.

Then, wouldn’t it be the right decision for the emperor to trust this man’s policy?

Emperor Chloe stared at Ed Rosteyler.

Is it a new spark that has blossomed in the Roth Taylor family, which Creffin held and shook?

Whatever the case may be, it was not a rotten family to the very root.
