Bellbroke Subjugation Battle (8)
The magic circle that spread out around the rose garden of Ofilis Hall suddenly grew so large that it covered the entire Ofilis Hall.
Most of the monsters were unable to enter the Ofilis Pavilion because they could not break through the defensive formations, but some monsters with strong anti-magic power were able to break through even the defensive formations of the Ofilis Pavilion.
In fact, monsters that are capable of breaking through the defensive formations of the Ofilis Pavilion are very rare. However, since the group of monster tribes themselves was such a large scale in the first place, the size of such a special monster tribe was not at a level that could be ignored.
– Kaang! Cheaeng!
– Hwaaaaaaaaa!
The sound of swords clashing and magic being unleashed filled the entrance to Ofilis Hall.
The maids at Ofilis Hall are famous for there being nothing they cannot do. Of course, they had some level of expertise in combat, and there were quite a few people who could use mid-level magic at the senior maid level.
Since it was a place guarded by a group of maids and even had a dedicated defense force established, they were still able to maintain the front line with ease.
– Quang! Quang!
In addition, most of the students who use Ofilis Hall are students with excellent grades. Not only the maids but even the dormitory students had outstanding fighting skills. Even the geographical location is vaguely located on the outskirts of the living area, so most of the monsters invade the center of the living area and have no intention of coming to Ofilis Hall.
Due to the combination of various conditions, the Ofilis Pavilion was maintaining an excellent defense posture in this crisis situation where even the royal residence was in danger.
“The monsters are once again flooding into the cracks in the southern defense line!”
“There are no senior maids with their hands empty now! “First of all, mobilize all the people who can move and stop them!”
The central command room of the Ofilis building.
Maid Jean Belle Maia was giving instructions to the maids from the command room that had been temporarily barricaded in the maids’ work space.
Not only the maids, but also the students staying at Ofilis Building were working together to stop the monsters.
However, defense is everything.
There was no time to lend a helping hand to other places that were probably in chaos.
In the first place, it was impossible to get there through such a large group of monsters, and even if he came into contact with another group of survivors, he could not be brought to Ofilis Pavilion in a healthy state.
In the end, there is no other way than to hold on as long as possible and hope that the situation will resolve itself.
“Have you contacted the Lorail Hall or the Dex Hall?”
“I heard news from Lorail Hall. Although they suffered great damage, they say they are somehow protecting the students. but… Dex tube… I’m out of contact… ”
Bel Maia slowly closed her eyes at the report posted by the maid. She was in no condition to do anything like nursery rhymes.
It would have been difficult to defend Dex Hall completely because the dormitory was so large and there were so many dormitory students.
It would probably be no surprise to say that it has been devastated by now.
“I can’t help it. First of all, we will do our best to ensure the safety of the students in our care… ”
At that time, Belbroke roared once again.
Every time a sharp roar cuts through the skies over Aken Island, the magical energy in that sound becomes stronger little by little.
It’s a fact I don’t want to admit, but it means that Bellbroke’s seal is getting weaker as time goes by.
Lucy Mayril can somehow block it now, but if Belbroke breaks free of the seal and comes out, even Lucy won’t be able to handle it.
In fact, at this point Lucy Mayril has already reached her limit.
“Aaaah!”
“Ugh!”
The maids who fell to the floor screamed due to the aftereffects of magical power.
Belle Maia also frowned and looked out the window. Belle Broke once again opened his huge mouth wide and gathered his magic power.
The enemy Velbroke is targeting is Lucy Mayril, who is blocking him. Along with the sealing chains that try to drag his body back down into the deep sea, he is his greatest enemy.
However, in the aftermath alone, Ofilis Hall’s defense line began to become unstable. This is because Velbroke’s magic contains the power to neutralize various defense and anti-magic formations.
You may be able to hold out for a few times, but if Belbroke fully resurrects and begins to show off his power, Ofilis Hall will no longer be able to maintain a defensive posture.
The only solution is to pray.
– Quang!
Did he take advantage of that moment?
A giant bat pushed through a crack in the defensive line and stuck to the outer wall of Ofilis Hall.
“Aaaah!”
“Do not panic! “Bring out all the magic!”
There was a lot of screaming from students, and in the midst of it all, there were students who kept their composure.
Belle Maia also somehow managed to raise herself up on the table. And when I looked at the window, I saw that the eyeballs of a huge bat were filling the window.
Without hesitating even for a moment, Bell took out his rapier and plunged it into the bat’s eye.
-Clink!
-Kaaaaaaaaa!
With the sound of glass breaking, a giant bat, writhing in pain, fell from the outer wall.
– Coooooooo!
The giant bat that crashed into the rose garden struggled while bleeding and began smashing everything around it.
“Whoa… Huh… ”
The defense line also began to reach its limits little by little. That fact was despairing, but I couldn’t just ignore it.
Bel Maia gave instructions to those around her while barely breathing.
“Evacuate students to the underground facility! In the future, the threat from monsters will become stronger! “To minimize damage, we need to hide the students first!”
Shouting like that, he took out another rapier that was decorated on the inner wall and opened the door to the outside of the command room.
“Keep this in mind. Our mission is to keep our students safe under all circumstances. “With the will to burn this one body, we must save as many students as possible.”
“Oh, I see… ”
“I will also deliver this to the maids stationed on the outskirts.”
Belle Maia nodded and ran out into the hallway.
It is not a wise decision to go to the front lines with the commanding position of maid chief. Because if he dies, his chain of command collapses.
However, the more the situation reaches its extreme, the more desperate it becomes to have a single combatant. If the situation had progressed this far, even Belle Maia herself could not have stayed still.
When I came out into the hallway, clutching my rapier tightly, two giant bats, different from before, stuck to the window.
– Bang! bang!
– Clink!
As the windows in the hallway suddenly break, the arm of a giant bat rushes into the hallway.
It smashed various works of art and decorations at random, and let out an unpleasant roar in an attempt to kill all the humans it touched.
“Ugh!”
It was the moment when Bel Maia was trying to gather all the magical power of her body to use magic.
– Grasp!
A giant bat made a strange sound and reached out its hand toward Bel Maia.
The head was cut off cleanly.
Bel Maia, who was about to use magic, was taken aback by the momentary change in the situation. However, after she eventually kicked away the giant bat that was left with only its body, she saw the boy who rolled into the window and understood the situation.
-Flop, flop!
A series of flows that quickly climb up the wall with magical power and cleanly cut off the head of the giant bat. It shows that he has the practical sense to not panic even in situations like this.
The boy got up after rolling on the floor full of glass shards, shaking off his blood-stained sword… It was Siggs Eiffelstein.
“I’m glad to see that you’re okay, Mr. Bell.”
“Master Ziggs. when… ?”
“I just arrived. Tailie and Ayla also came with us. “The situation at Ofilis Hall doesn’t look very relaxed either.”
Ofilis Hall’s defense line, which was thought to be able to endure, was becoming more and more unstable as time went on.
“There is no time to explain the situation at length to each other, is there?”
“Yes that’s right. First of all, it was a wise choice to evacuate to Ofilis Hall. Head towards the underground facility right now… !”
“I didn’t evacuate, I came because I had someone to pick me up. Elvira is here, right? “She must have been running in a month to get her alchemy supplies and reagent ingredients from her room.”
So much time has passed that the behavior patterns of classmates in the same grade are already clearly visible.
Ziggs jumped on the arm swinging by one of the remaining giant bats, spun his body around, twisted it around, and fired a sword strike.
Then, the giant bat’s left arm was cut off. The giant bat screamed and fell toward the back yard.
“To catch Belbroke, you need Elvira’s knowledge of alchemy. At a time when it is difficult to approach the professors of the Department of Alchemy, he is the only high-ranking alchemist who will accompany you without hesitation… ”
“Belbroke… I’ll catch you… ?”
“Taylor can do it. We have no intention of sitting back.”
Ziggs speaks with his back to the broken window, wiping the blood off the knife again.
“I would like to participate in the defense of Ofilis Hall, which is cornered, but… “We have more important things to do.”
“… “You’re not joking.”
“Many people have already sacrificed. In order to save Tailley, Senior Ed remained alone in the most dangerous limb, and I also left behind a group of survivors in the student square to join Tailley. Even though Elka is there.”
There is only one reason. To deal with the biggest threats.
“We… “You have to take responsibility and catch the bellbroke.”
Ofilis Hall is not the only place in crisis.
The same goes for the group of survivors in the student plaza that Ziggs left behind.
The group of survivors who reached the living quarters, led by student council president Tanya, had already endured many sacrifices.
Since we lost Ziggs, our most important combat personnel, it is natural that we cannot make it to the living quarters without suffering any damage.
Although it was full of dying people, Tanya made her way toward the living quarters, saving at least one more person.
The garrison on the side of the Bachelor’s Cathedral, centered around Saint Clarice, was also almost breached by the flock of monsters…
A group of survivors from the student training camp, centered around students from the combat department, were also suffering a lot of damage.
The Elte Company, which lost a third of its direct merchants due to the collapse of the Maxes Bridge, is also protecting the company building from the incoming monsters… It is rumored that the royal family’s quarters were almost completely breached.
“Still, we must fight back.”
Ziggs declared.
“I have no intention of sitting still and accepting death. so… “I’m sorry, but I have to take Elvira with me.”
*- ‘I’m going to pick up my alchemy supplies and reagent ingredients from the Ofilis building, so stay in a safe place!’
This is the story Elvira told as she ran toward Ophelis Hall.
Even if I die soon, my first priority is to protect the results of my research, even in this crisis situation, as I am afraid that I will not live a life solely focused on alchemy. I didn’t know she was that kind of woman. However, did you not expect that the situation would become this serious?
After parting ways with Elvira at the student square, I ran away from the sudden attack of the monsters, but eventually succeeded in joining the nearest garrison. However, that was all.
A student training ground where students from the Combat Department gathered and formed a garrison centered around Dyke.
The man in the corner, trembling with his head down on his knees, is Clevious Nortondale.
Not only does he belong to the prestigious Nortondale family, but he also holds the title of valedictorian of the second year… Clevius was trembling with fear.
There are so many people dying, and it seems impossible to handle the number of monsters covering the sky.
If you continue like this, you will die. However, when you listen to the roar of Seongchangryong that covers the sky, you feel a sense of fear as if your heart is being squeezed.
As a huge disaster approaches before our eyes that we cannot do anything about with our own hands, we once again realize how weak we are.
– ‘That bastard…’ Why did you join this garrison… ?’
– ‘I know how to swordsmanship… ‘He’s the type of guy who whenever there’s a fight, he just runs away!’
– ‘Everyone is fighting for their lives, you pathetic bastard…’ Why doesn’t Senior Dyke kick that guy out?’
– ‘Leave it alone, Senior Dyke will have his own thoughts. first… Concentrate on defending the outside of the garrison!’
“It’s me… Sipal… Because I want to do this… I know it’s like this… Ugh… Okay… ”
Even at first glance, he seems like a pathetic person. The man was holding back her tears and holding her trembling hand.
Still, what can I do? I’m scared. Human emotions are not something you can control.
Just because everyone is fighting bravely, that doesn’t mean you can’t be brave too. Like a flame burning for a moment, the memory of swinging the sword at Lucy is now a long time ago.
In the end, a pathetic person is pathetic until the end. Even if you gain energy for a long time, your rotten inner self will not change completely.
Nowadays, he doesn’t mind the gossip from students around him who make fun of him. I’ve lived my whole life being criticized, but now I’m so hurt and shocked that I can’t even live a normal life.
However, I am just afraid and afraid.
“really… Sipal… Why do I have to go through this… why… !”
He is hugging his knees and shaking his teeth.
Students passing by would click their tongues every time they saw him stuck in a safe corner of the station.
Not only the seniors, but even the juniors looked at Clevius and openly called him a coward.
In the current situation where everyone goes to the front line as long as they can hold a sword, they seem to be stubborn until the end. The juniors who were watching this were so overcome with evil that they even made a suggestion to Dyke, the garrison leader. If you’re going to do that, kick Clevius out. It will only have a negative impact on the morale of the garrison.
However, in order to save at least one more person, Dyke kept Clevius at the garrison. He could not throw Clevius out because he was a coward.
Clevius himself knows it. He himself is a coward, an egoist, a coward, and a piece of trash.
Dyke, who has put himself in order, is a true leader, a good person, and worthy of everyone’s respect.
I feel frustrated by the gap, but that doesn’t mean I try to become someone like Dyke.
This is because he knows better than anyone else that he is a gutter rat living in a gutter. A sewer rat whose body is already full of the stench of sewage cannot become virtuous no matter how hard it tries.
The gaze of the students at the garrison is getting colder, and they don’t notice anything. I have endured that kind of disdain for my entire life.
However, they are just struggling to save their lives.
That’s how Clevius survives.
He’s not as desperate as Ed Rothtaylor, he’s not noble like Dyke Elphelan, and he’s not a complete bad guy either. It is the life of a coward who is only half-hearted.
Clevius spread his hands and looked at them quietly. His hands, which were holding nothing, were so frightened that they were trembling.
“The tube of ophilis is about to rupture! “I guess the garrison over there isn’t safe anymore!”
Soon, a student rushed in and reported loudly to Dyke. The voice was so urgent that it echoed loudly throughout the garrison.
“what? “Wasn’t Ofilis Hall safe because it was surrounded by defensive lines?”
“It seems like I was affected by Velbroke’s magic… ”
“Then, the students there will also take refuge. “If there are students who take refuge in our direction, we must be prepared to accept them.”
“No, Senior Dyke. They will probably take refuge in an internal underground facility. still… “If the tube of ophilis is pierced, there is no guarantee that it will be safe.”
Honestly, which garrison will hold out and which will be breached is purely a matter of luck.
Luckily, a place where not many high-ranking monsters fell can hold out for a long time, and unluckily, a place where a lot of high-ranking monsters fall cannot hold out for long. That’s it.
The royal residence was unlucky, but this training ground was lucky. It is precisely because of this difference that the lives of countless people are being decided.
Dyke furrowed his brows and sighed, but there was no way to help the Ofilis Hall at this point. This garrison is also in a situation where my nose is stone.
“Please, I can only hope that you are safe. “We must first rally at least the survivors inside the combat department buildings!”
Dyke quickly made a decision and spoke. It wasn’t a wrong decision.
In the worst case, the entire Ofilis Hall students could be exposed to the threat of monsters, but I had no choice but to pray that that would not happen.
“We’ll rest for about thirty more minutes, and then we’ll head to the northern training area to search for survivors! “Those who will follow along should prepare their equipment now!”
After shouting that, Dyke picked up his knuckles. He had to move a little faster to gather more survivors into the garrison.
It was a somewhat burdensome forced march, but no one expressed dissatisfaction despite the tight schedule.
At that moment, Clevius stepped on Dyke’s eyes.
Clevius got up from his seat as if possessed, and was heading towards the exit of the garrison, holding a sword in its sheath.
Dyke, startled, quickly jumped out of his seat and grabbed Clevius by the shoulder.
“Clevius! Where are you going! “It’s hell out there now!”
I understand the situation of Clevius, who is constantly being pressured by the students at the garrison.
Therefore, Dyke was conscious of Clevius to some extent. Still, I didn’t think he would suddenly think of leaving his camp as if he were possessed.
Anyway, Clevius is a terrible coward. He didn’t expect to end up in such a disastrous situation, but…
Clevius, with eerily calm eyes, grasped Dyke’s wrist tightly and let go of his shoulder.
Dyke glared at Clevius’s eyes at the sudden change in attitude. However, Clevius, who thought he was shaking with fear, looked infinitely calm.
“Where on earth are you going? “In this situation?”
Elvira headed to the Ophilis building—the reason why that insignificant fact kept coming to mind might be because Clevius was nothing more than a coward after all.
If you live worrying about everything, isn’t it easy for your unnecessary worries to increase?
I also feel like this might be a useless worry… Another fear, as deep as the fear of death, emerged from Clevius’ heart.
that… Elvira might die.
He is that hot-headed alchemist who, whenever he gets the chance, grabs Clevius and shakes him, scolds him, raises his voice, and gets needlessly angry.
“… ”
Clevius held Dyke’s wrist tightly and looked up into his eyes for a moment. He was such a good person that he would give something to himself, so he didn’t want to worry or ask for help.
“A walk.”
Is that what they say as they head into the inside of a hellish academic institution?
However, Dyke had no intention of stopping the noble Clevius… I just watched him leave the station.
As Clevius leaves the combat unit’s training camp, he plunges his sword into his shoulder.
A terrible pain surges through me and a groan comes out… Eventually, the pain subsides.
He bowed his back and, with a loud sigh, glanced up at the group of monsters surrounding the garrison with red-tinted eyes.
A sword stained with blood-red magic was drawn out like a flash of light. A sword spirit covered in blood goes out for a walk.
When I came to my senses, the road was stained red with the blood scattered by the demons.
*Taylor McLaure was sitting in the rose garden of the Ofilis Building, having difficulty treating her wounds.
Ayla Tris, who had reached the Ofilis Pavilion with Tailly, was running around the Ofilis Pavilion looking for Elvira.
Ziggs Eiffelstein cut down the giant bat threatening Belle Maia and explained the situation.
Lortel Kecheln was protecting the building by shooting ice magic directly in front of the business building.
Fenia Elias Cloel was leading Emperor Cloel across the corridors of the royal quarters to escape from the monsters.
Elvira Anniston… I was collecting all the reagent ingredients in my room,
Clevious Nortondale was heading towards the Ofilis Hall, sweeping away the monsters of the bachelor’s clan single-handedly.
It seemed like more time was needed to gather the members of the Bellbroke subjugation team in one place… Still, the fact that everyone is surviving well is encouraging.
However, the Sylvanian subjugation force that must gather around Ed Rosstaylor… There was little to call progress.
Characters who have escaped the affairs of and are caught up in a completely different flow. People who can cooperate with Ed without affecting the power of the government’s subjugation force…
Ed Rothtaylor, Jenica Palover, and Selaha Einir Cloel were gathered in one place…
Lucy Mayril is exhausted as she has almost run out of magical power as she has to stop Belbroke alone.
Saint Clarice could not even think of leaving the cathedral camp.
Tanya Rosstaylor had reached her limit just by taking responsibility for the survivors in her garrison.
Even in this situation, the end of the world was slowly approaching.
Great Sage Sylvania smiled bitterly as she looked at the collapsing world.
Among the numerous variables that try to block the bellblock, the variable that must be eliminated first is engraved in their eyes.
that… It is the existence of Lucy Mayril, who is fighting almost like a whistle with the sealed Belbroke.
– Bang!!
Lucy Mayril was tied to the half-collapsed remains of the Bachelor’s spire.
Amidst the rising dust, Lucy shook her head and looked up again at the dying sky.
Along with Belbroke, he is floating in front of him holding a staff.
Great Sage Sylvania… She was looking down at Lucy as she let out her creepy laugh. After that, the image of Belbroke still struggling.
“Even though… Having to handle both at once… It’s a bit too much… ”
Lucy quickly took off her school uniform coat, threw it away, and stood up her small body again. It was my first time experiencing a wound like this. The blood was staining red and spreading across the school uniform blouse.
Still, Lucy Mayril had no intention of backing down. As always, I look up at the sky with a blank face.
I didn’t really know how long I could last.
