The appearance of Delphina, who suddenly appeared and spilled the monster’s attack once, was devastating.

A stream of red blood trickling down from his head.

heavy breathing. puffy eyes.

No matter who saw it, it was obviously not in a normal state, so even Prince Antonio, who was on the verge of collapsing, could vaguely guess her condition.

“how?”

It was a word with multiple meanings.

How was he able to get out of the pile of logs buried under the direct attack of the monster?

How could he stand on his own two feet when he looked like he was about to collapse at any moment?

And how did he succeed in attacking a monster that had never been able to hit an effective hit before?

As the prince, he thought he had learned a lot from seeing, but the beings that appeared in front of Antonio today all pointed out only their narrow insights.

“… … .”

Instead of answering Prince Antonio’s question, Delfina waited for the monster stuck in the tree to move again.

The only thing I was able to do with that blow was slightly open the path of the monster, but I already realized that I couldn’t deliver a proper attack.

It was also a blow that I had thought of doing that in the first place.

The body curled up like a ball in a tree was temporarily unwound, revealing the giant monster it had seen for the first time.

A monster in the form of a giant rat whose entire body is covered in armor.

Even at a glance, even Prince Antonio and Delfina noticed that it did not occur in nature.

“Prince Antonio.”

“… yes.”

“As you know without telling me, don’t move one step from that place.”

The injured Prince Antonio calmly followed Delphina’s words.

With both ankles broken anyway, it was difficult to move freely.

Therefore, instead of crawling on the ground with a broken ankle, the prince decided to pay attention to the movements of the spearman standing in front of him.

What kind of skills and powers did he use to blow off that grotesque monster’s attack at least once?

I wanted to uncover a clue about it.

‘Koo-goo.’

The monster rolled its body into a circle and started rolling toward the two again with a sound.

The tip of Delphina’s spear, which confirmed the monster moving towards them, temporarily turned blue.

Prince Antonio was able to confirm at once what it really was.

Blue energy that is said to be usable only by those who have reached the level of Expert.

It was not a skill that a freshman in the academy could show off.

No matter how genius or gifted the students were, the expert level was a level that could only be approached right before graduation.

For a mage, it was an ability equivalent to the 4th circle.

Besides, the surprise of Prince Antonio didn’t stop there.

‘Kang!’

As soon as the blue energy from Delphina’s spear touched the monster, it exploded and created a shockwave.

The one that changed into a huge ball and flew away was immediately seen rolling toward another nearby tree.

It is to gather energy at the tip of the spear and explode it at the exact moment it touches.

It wasn’t a specific skill, but Delfina used to call it energy explosion herself.

“Lady Delphina? The technology just… .”

“It’s a burst of energy.”

“Explosion of energy… ?”

“I tried the one my brother used, but luckily it didn’t work… lose or not… .”

“Lady Delphina!”

Although it was quite amazing to hit two effective hits against genetically modified monsters of the Dark Church.

Accurately attacking up to that point was the limit of Delphina’s current ability.

Since he temporarily showed movements that imitated the level of an expert, of course, he had to accept the burden on his body as a double factor.

Due to the energy explosion that had already been used twice, Delphina was unable to even stand up anymore.

Delphina’s body, which had fallen at random, lay face down on the field.

The red liquid flowing from her hair gradually dyed her hair a different color.

“Lady Delphina! Wake!”

“… … .”

There was no answer coming back.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been out of the state that I can already answer.

It was close to a miracle that his heart didn’t stop.

The energy of the whole body was almost consumed by two bursts of energy, and all that was left was a handful of energy that could barely sustain life.

Prince Antonio pulled himself closer to Delphina with his arms in place of his broken ankles.

“Sir profit!!”

Prince Antonio was not the only one who tried to approach the fallen woman.

The monster, which had already been interrupted by the attack twice, let out a cry for the first time, and curled up again to end the life of the fallen Delphina.

Then, he quickly rolled his body towards the direction where Delfina and Prince Antonio were.

Looking at the monsters rolling towards him and Delfina, Prince Antonio was quietly thinking in his heart.

I’m sorry, Miss Delphina.

My stupid behavior caused a great talent like you to pass out here.

Delivering an apology that would probably not be heard in his heart, Antonio wrapped Delphina’s fallen body with his own body.

I wondered if there was even a slight chance that she would survive if she absorbed the shock with her own body.

‘Kwagwang!!’

A huge rupture that appeared out of nowhere was felt at the top of Antonio’s body.

Just before the monster’s body mashed the bodies of the two without mercy.

A gigantic explosion on a scale different from that of normal magic hit the monster’s body directly and created a huge shockwave.

“Cee Iik!!”

The body of the monster, which received an unprecedented shock, flew high in the air and landed on a nearby rock.

Before the prince could figure out what had happened, a man who appeared to be the subject of magic appeared from the depths of the forest.

“What is this rat doing?”

It was the appearance of Conrad Perdalos, the only mage among the students of the current academy who had reached the level of the 5th circle.

* * *

I hoped

I ran to the Burinake site while crossing a distance close to half of the forest, and it seemed that a disaster had already taken place before I arrived.

Broken and shattered tree trunks here and there and gigantic pits all over the ground were indirectly recounting the horrors that had taken place prior to my arrival.

As soon as I saw the shadows of the two people lying on the floor with serious injuries, my eyes naturally turned.

It was a tight timing.

If the explosion magic had been activated even a little late, the prince’s whole body would have been crushed by the coil mouse.

Of course, Delphina, who was buried under it, couldn’t have been safe.

For a moment, her hair looked red, so she thought it was Lady Hilla, but looking at her hair, it was definitely Delphina, even from a distance.

“Prince Conrad!”

Prince Antonio looked at me and seemed to have found a ray of hope, throwing away his dignity as a prince and tearing up.

Then he pointed to my sister who was lying on the ground and opened her mouth urgently.

“Quickly take your little sister and escape from here! I’m running out of time!”

“… … .”

“While the monster is out of their senses, quickly take her to the church! A ridiculous monster that can’t work with swords or spears will attack again right away!

Go back quickly and save your little sister’s life first, and start looking at the monsters so the other students aren’t in danger! At this rate, everyone will die!”

It must have been badly beaten before I arrived, looking completely terrified as he preached the reason for retreating.

I don’t know why he told me to protect my sister instead of saving himself.

“Where are the other colleagues besides Delphina?”

“It is in there. … Life and death are unclear.”

The prince pointed to the pile of fallen logs and replied in a guilty voice.

Is it a temporary fortress made by weaving together logs?

It was not a bad decision to secure a short time against the coil mouse.

The problem is that it is an ancient monster created by the Dark Church, and its actual size and technology are on a different level from the Coil Mouse in old history.

Still, it was a pretty good strategy for an impromptu strategy, so you can’t blame it for that.

If you’re going to blame it in the first place, you’ll be able to investigate for a long time just with the judgment you entered into this dangerous zone.

“Lulu and Xian-senpai, please move them to a safe place. Saint Claire starts treatment right away.

Stella quickly clears that pile of logs and rescues the others trapped underneath.”

While the other party members were about to move after hearing my instructions, Prince Antonio asked me in a puzzled voice.

“Wait a minute! Didn’t you hear me?! Even if you have to run away quickly?! I know you’re upset about your little sister’s injury, but it’s time to think hard!

I’ve already used every means I could! Even after being hit by the burst of energy used by Lady Delphina, look at her still intact!

I have to stop insisting that something will work against that metaphysical monster and just think about getting out of this forest in a hurry!”

“… Shut up, Prince Antonio.”

I cut off the prince who was talking loudly and used the explosion magic once again on the coil mouse rolling towards me.

With a blow that contained even stronger magical power than before.

“CeeeIG!!!”

A louder plosive sound echoed around, and the coil mouse was caught in an even bigger explosion, sending its body farther away than before.

“her.”

Prince Antonio seemed to be fascinated by the magic I used and followed the flying coil mouse with his eyes.

“Stay in the corner and receive treatment from the saintess. I will finish it soon.”

“… … .”

“I will win anyway.”

After I gave my last words to Prince Antonio, I hurriedly moved to the spot where the coil mouse flew away.

If I ran away, there was a risk that my existence would be revealed to the Dark Church, so I needed to finish my line with certainty.

Leaving aside everything else and letting the guy who turned Delphina into a half-baked state go smoothly was a nonsensical story in itself.

“Sir profit… .”

Maybe it’s because I’ve already allowed the attack twice. As soon as I approached, he immediately expressed his wariness.

However, as if his learning ability wasn’t that high, he immediately rolled his body into a circle and started rolling towards me quickly.

Of course, it was time to use the third explosion magic.

“Ceee IK… !!”

Once again, with a loud explosion, his body flew backwards through the air.

No matter how hard the whole body is surrounded by armor, that guy who looks like a ball naturally had weaknesses.

A soft inside hidden inside a hard outer shell.

At first glance, the fast-rolling figure looks like a lump, but the side that does not directly touch the ground is surprisingly weak in durability.

Just setting off an explosion in a connected slit leading to the inner skin can do a lot of damage to a guy that never seems to be knocked out.

Of course, aiming for the side of a guy that was rapidly rolling forward was a difficult task that I couldn’t even dare to do without getting used to it.

In his previous life, he had risked his life every time in a number of battles that others would never have experienced in their lifetime, so in order to survive against the monsters of the Dark Church, of course it had to be possible.

“Chi… ?!”

I inserted the entire head of the staff into the muzzle of the moaning guy lying on the bed.

“I want to squeeze you all day long until I get angry.”

I slightly turned my eyes to the place where Prince Antonio and Delfina were, and looked at the appearance of the other colleagues cleaning up the scene.

Stella reveals and removes the piles of logs one by one, and LuLu and Xian seniors rescue the survivors who are still breathing under them.

And as soon as Delphina’s temporary treatment is over, Saint Claire goes into another person’s treatment right away.

As long as they were alive, their lives could be saved, but all five, including Prince Antonio, would have to take care of the church for a while.

I couldn’t waste my time here, as I had to hurry up and finish the report on the hunting festival and send them all to the church.

“I’m busy right now, so I’ll finish it in one shot.”

“Seed… .”

“Chew and swallow.”

The mana to activate the magic was concentrated on the tip of the staff.

In the feared Coil Mouse’s mouth, he activated the 5th circle explosion magic.

As soon as the magic worked, Coil Mouse’s head shattered and disappeared entirely.

The body, which had lost the upper part of the neck, stopped moving.

“Next time, I won’t tell Delphina about dangerous places.”

As soon as I return safely, I will immediately say something.

To Delfina and to Prince Antonio.
