99 – Raid Practice (3)

It’s afternoon,

The raid passed the entrance to the Papes Mountains and reached the riverside far below the ridge.

‘I didn’t expect an intruder to appear… ‘

The blonde knight.

Aveline Balantes was in a state of intense emotion at the sudden uninvited guest.

Isn’t there a saying that if you can’t have it, copy it?

First of all, Lev Deneck aims for a rough male similar to Kaeran.

That’s why you can’t get a man like him in an amicable way.

Of course, unlike Kaeran, I’ve never really seen his skills, so I can’t give a proper evaluation.

At least, I thought that if I seduced Timon Gigerta, a man who was the exact opposite of my taste, and provoked him, I might be able to see his sincerity to some extent.

‘But instead… why!’

An unexpected third year cadet wrapped around him and started spinning.

It’s not just a third year,

Cadet Violet Decrescent holds the greatest position in the gunnery department.

Abelin, the knight, is well aware of the prestigious family called Decrescent.

Whether it’s the last flagship left to the Empire, an unsalted genius, or a hero who will surpass Diena… Or the dignity of nobility itself.

Because there were countless phrases she used to modify her.

– Nope.

It’s hard to keep even Yeriel in check as a person close to Lev Denek, but Violet is also appearing.

‘I can’t believe I smelled something about Lev Denek… ?’

In an instant, Aveline’s inferiority complex almost ignited.

‘Calm down, calm down.’

First of all, that’s not important.

Abel Lin had other things to worry about.

That’s right, it’s about the reward that [Blood Ashes] Has.

According to the legend, there is a record that the previous hero Kroon, when he was young, dealt the final blow to [Blood Ash] And obtained the essence of immortality.

The reward of immortality, which is said to be obtainable only by the person responsible for driving the divine beast to death.

Therefore, if someone who has not undergone the coming-of-age ceremony annihilates the [Blood Ashes]…

‘This condition may be met.’

The current [Blood Ashes] Were eroded by black magic and resurrected with black magic, so it can’t be said that they are exactly the same,

Calling the essence of a divine beast or dragon is worth it, so if this legend is reproduced once again, it is certain that it will bring a big wave.

So if you were aiming for this, Violet, and she also participated in the raid, it would be understandable to some extent.

They’re also targeting Malissa from [Eternal Flame], So don’t let your guard down.

However, Aveline had a trump card.

The sword she wears on her left waist is a priestly sword, not a sword supplied by the academy.

-Aveline, would you like this?

– What is this?

– A gift for coming into my circle. Shall we say

-… !

– Please continue to be my sword.

A gift Kaeran gave me when I entered the Royal Class.

The slender highlander-shaped sword body boasts the subtlety of white silver.

Originally, I was going to use it for decoration, but

‘Kaeran, I might have learned a little of your intentions.’

Recently, Abel Lin has become accustomed to handling her divine abilities,

I learned a little how to bestow divine aura on this sword.

This is a top-secret matter known only to Aveline, who did not report it to either the family or the guild.

In addition, when I went to the ecliptic last time, I found out that this sword was endowed with something insignificant, but unknown.

‘In other words, the key to suppressing the resurrection of the bloody ash is this… ‘

Abel Lin’s original role was to hold a shield and endure, but she was proud of her own skills.

No matter how much [Blood Ashes], There will be gaps at the moment of descent.

You just have to aim for that time.

‘This time… A small person is to become a person who is recognized as much as my older brother.’

Preoccupy the essence of immortality, and a prosperous future drawn before your eyes.

The image of himself holding back the Knights.

She looked at Malissa and smiled coldly.

‘It’s all out of my hands.’

Probably, the [Eternal Flame] Side won’t let go either.

Malissa must have prepared the annihilation spell with Terion, the leader of the raid.

However, Eternal Flame is a master of fire magic,

For a fire attribute boss like [Blood Ash], Fire magic is not suitable for targeting weaknesses or using it as a final blow.

“I will take it well. Melissa Ball… “

***

Valley of the Papes. Follow the flowing water to a ruined sanctuary.

A moonstone that has completely lost the power of moonlight.

That’s why it’s a place where no miracles can be triggered.

On the altar here where the soot has not gone away,

[Blood Ashes] Will be resurrected soon.

From an hour ago, according to Terion’s instructions,

A situation where we rehearsed several times.

Let the 6 parties set up in a triangle by 2 groups,

-Furrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The Foundation started burning.

-!!

“Everyone ready.”

Teiron’s brief instruction is amplified with magic tools, making all the students nervous.

-Parr…

The fire was soon extinguished…

– Parbat!

The ashes of the altar were scattered everywhere,

They soon gathered and started to rekindle.

And…

-Kiyiyyyyyyyy!!

A roar announcing the appearance of a new beast can be heard,

In an instant, as if the temperature around the sanctuary rose,

– Whoa!!!

Heat spurted out.

-!!

-Keeeee!!

Y-shaped flames began to burn in the air.

Clearly, the motif of [Blood Ashes] Is a phoenix.

Therefore, there is a feeling of being treated as a divine beast, but the sound the guy actually made was like a high frequency sound that made my ears hurt.

-Looking at it in person… Scary?

– It’s okay. You already know the strategy, right?

Perhaps because of the fear of the first real battle, the exclamations of the cadets burst out here and there.

Then, the main tank of group 4 with me, a man with dark blond hair, who was next to Violet, spoke softly.

“Everyone, don’t worry. It hasn’t started yet. And as long as I am! It will be fine.”

He introduced himself as Rayman Logans.

“Once again, I will block direct attacks. However, bloody ashes leave flames on the way they move, so there may be afterimage damage.”

Wait, where do I think I saw him?

“So, as I said before, Cadet Timon needs to put the barrier on my signal.”

-……

The briefing ended ambiguously with Timon’s eye contact.

Violet seemed to know everything.

Anyway, it’s a little variable.

Our party’s main tank is…

‘He’s the guy from the King of Pleasure.’

A man who was dispatched from Divine Valhalla and was trembling and unable to do anything.

Also, the person in charge of protective magic is Timon Zigirta, who had a fight with me.

Our party is already anxious?

.

.

.

After the resurrection ceremony, the [Blood Ashes] Started spinning around the sky.

Probably, the first aggro was attracted to the target attacked at this time.

According to the setting of the affair, the black magic encroached on him and his left eye was damaged, so

After that, the order of aggro is to the right.

-Kiyooooo!!!

As soon as he regained all his strength, he took full form.

– Belt ring.

A status window popped up in front of me.

——————————————————

▶[Blood Ashes] [Chaos]

[Rank Beasts]

[Shinsu, Boss]

[Risk Level: Very High]

[Feature: Immortality. There is black magic in the legs]

[Encounter with the Boss! : You can preview the pattern!]

[Details available]

——————————————————

‘A rank?’

Clearly, Tayron said [Blood Ashes] Was B rank.

However, what I see right now is an A-rank monster higher than the [Pleasure Lord].

There were also deaths during Lord of Pleasure.

This time, there is a higher probability of an accident.

‘Wait a minute, features… Darian’s dark magic.’

Darian.

A black fairy who tries to seduce Selena by saying that she will teach her demonic wind archery.

For some reason, that guy’s hand… It had touched the bloody ashes.

So while I was organizing my thoughts,

“…?”

Violet was staring at me with unwavering purple eyes.

-…

When I openly faced him, he turned his head only then.

‘It will turn.’

Again… It seems that he ate a lot of strength.

* * *

Similar perspective, Claris Academy.

-Is this enough?

-Yes, senior Yeriel, thank you!

-Um… Will you say hello next time? Promise!

-… Yes?! Ah yes! Good-bye!

The boy who asked Yeriel about magic theory shyly disappeared.

I’m a prospective student who hasn’t even entered school yet…

Today, she has unintentionally increased her fans.

‘A shy kid… ‘

Anyway, seeing that figure, Yeriel felt something familiar.

‘Thinking about it… I feel like I was like that when I was in front of Lev… ‘

-Pong!

‘Re, ban thinking about rev… !’

Yeriel has been as careful as possible since the festival.

-Yeriel, are you sick?

– Huh? Oh no…?!

Once, just thinking about him, his face kept getting hotter, and he was often asked if he was okay,

More than anything else, it was because she was afraid that she would be engulfed in an unknown impulse, just like when she was in her culture.

Anyway, the academy without rev is more leisurely than I thought.

So, just like before she met him, Yeriel, who helped her juniors she met in her library after a long time.

‘In the end, I couldn’t ask you to come to the black house… !’

I failed in sales, but I still enjoy helping others.

‘Oh! It’s already time… !’

After checking the time, Yeriel packed her things and went down to the student cafeteria.

.

.

.

“This taste after a long time… “

“Edwin… ! Eat slowly!”

After completing the discharge procedure, Edwin came to the student cafeteria with Aria and Yeriel.

“When can I start training… ?”

“At least, you should rest for a week. We have to watch the progress.”

“Ugh.”

Sounds like thunder from the blue sky.

For Edwin, training was like a daily routine.

Edwin, who made an expression as if he had been sentenced to death, immediately began to examine the area around Arya’s neck.

“By the way, Aria. Can I ask you something?”

“Yes?”

He asked Arya without thinking.

“What is that necklace? Is it a ring?”

– Hiccup!

At Edwin’s question, Yeriel hiccuped without realizing it.

“Yeriel? It’s okay?”

“Ah… it’s okay! I must have swallowed it wrong… “

“Water… Would you like?”

“… Ok thank you… !”

‘Huh… ‘

I was curious and curious about it, but I couldn’t bear to ask Lev.

A pure white ring.

For the answer… Arya’s mouth opened.

“This is… Mr. Lev gave it to me as a present.”

“Lev?”

– Kung!

Following Edwin, this time, Yeriel’s heart thumps and sinks.

‘Yes, because I was expecting it… ! I can give you a gift! Arya is always there to help Lev, and she’s the best match for anything… Yes!’

I knew it, but the damage was great.

… It really was a gift from Lev.

Rev is a gift, a gift…

Many thoughts surround Yeriel’s mind.

‘I was such a greedy kid… ?’

Who would think that Yeriel, who spends most of her time helping her juniors, is greedy?

Anyway, Arya’s words continued.

“Yes, he said it would help me.”

“What is that? Doesn’t it mean something else?”

“… !”

Edwin has a careless disposition.

If it was his question like that, it would just be, ‘This is all out of the blue for Lev. Is it like a bribe?’

It can be interpreted as

.

However, this question was fatal to both of them in a different way…

At that moment, Yeriel

-!

Arya and her eyes met.

-……

An awkward silence that only the two of you can feel passes,

I wonder if the two of them had the same thoughts… They looked away as if embarrassed.

And belatedly, Arya’s mouth opened.

“I see…. If it means…… “

“… !”

Watching this, Yeriel’s heart started pounding.
