Attack – Meteor Academy Retake (1)
manifest magic.
The Ice Spear was fired at the faces of the monsters blocking the way. There were some who died instantly by being pierced in the head, but the number was very small. But it didn’t matter. Because the purpose was to freeze the sight.
“Noah!”
As I shouted, the wind blew past me.
“—Two meals.”
Noah Park stepped on the body of the frozen ogre and jumped. And as she passed it, she cut her head off exactly. Since her neck is wider than her sword body, her head hangs on her head without falling. I shot the ice spear once more at the regenerating area.
‘I stopped playing with this-.’
The engine was heated by pulling the trigger on the engine blade several times. Then, he pulled the trigger all the way to explode the booster. He jumped off the ground and swung his sword in a motion corrected as a perk.
Awkward-!
The leather was too thick to cut by my strength, but I was able to cut off the ogre’s head using the power of the booster.
—kwaa!
At that time, the demonic beast stretched out its claws and rushed towards the landing. When I fall, the devil steps on it and tries to bite it.
“Jihan!”
In the meantime, Noah Park, who had killed three goblins, ran and kicked a beast like a soccer ball. The beast flew away with a sad sound, and I quickly pulled out the Assault Wolf and pulled the trigger towards it.
The bullet that went straight into the mouth exploded, killing the beast.
“it’s okay···?”
“Uh. Not yet.”
Because he repeatedly ran and killed monsters without a break, his stamina was rapidly showing its limit. If it wasn’t for endurance and Arwell’s perks, it would have been stretched along the way.
‘I knew this and was trying to increase my stamina…’
shit. I can’t grow through training, so I’ll have to get some other elixir when the situation is all right. I grabbed Noah Park’s outstretched hand and got up quickly. Before being surrounded by demons, I had to move quickly.
Park Noah ran a little ahead and asked.
“But what about the people at Point 4? If the gates are already eroded, they are enemies too.”
“It’ll be fine now.”
The wave is still in progress. It is after the defense ends that they become enemies in earnest.
Even now, there will be people who will stop us from destroying the gate, but in the chaotic situation where the 4th base is being attacked, the probability that our eyes will be focused on us is low.
‘It’s because you’re being controlled by the gate unconsciously in the first place.’
Of course, if we were left out, there was a risk that the 4th base could be occupied because it would be difficult to stop the monsters, but to prevent that, we are reducing the number of monsters while moving like this.
“Hey!”
I drank the mana potion again and spat out the bottle. This is my fifth bottle. Slowly, her stomach churned. Soon after, as we penetrated the forest, the walls of the 4th base began to appear. I could see demons marching towards it from all directions.
“I see the defense line over there!”
Park Noah changed Arwell to a bow and ran to the demons at random, pulling the strings. There were so many that even blind arrows were hit. I also took out the Assault Wolf and pulled the trigger.
It was easy to approach because there were attacks that covered us from the defensive line installed in front of the 4th base. When we arrived, a man who appeared to be in charge stepped forward and spoke urgently. When he looked at the armament, he looked like an Awakener who came here to assist.
“You guys-.”
ignored
“Huh?! Hey, wait!”
As we ran past him, we heard a voice calling from behind, but there was no time to pay attention to us because the demons kept coming.
The entrance to the inside of the 4th base, which was visible from the front, was firmly blocked. Park Noah asked, gradually slowing her running speed.
“I’ve arrived, how do I get in?”
Park Noah looked at me for a moment as I raised the gun and was immediately startled.
“…maybe break it?!”
“Of course!”
The genre of the quest has now been changed. This is a ‘time attack’, not a defense. I changed the shape of the Assault Wolf by removing the magazine and injecting mana.
Then he pointed his gun at the door. The magic bullet had already been made.
Smoke rose with the explosion of the magic bullet that flew in a flash. Soon the thick smoke disappears, and a hole in the thick door is visible. We jumped into the hole.
“You crazy bastards!”
“What are you guys?!”
The people who were guarding us rushed and tried to surround us. I rolled up my sleeves towards them and opened my mouth. The mana rod was clearly visible.
“I have been commissioned.”
I exercised my magic in front of them and re-freeze the hole I had made. Seeing the magic, they looked at me with wide-eyed eyes.
“Are you sure… are you a wizard?”
Fortunately, no one had black eyes. Since this is the outskirts of the 4th base, it seems that it has not been completely eroded yet.
Well, it will be soon anyway. If the gate, feeling the crisis, spreads the energy of erosion, these people will change quickly.
“Then I’ll leave this to you. Good job!”
“Come on, wait a minute!”
As I ran, Noah Park glanced at them for a moment and then followed me. He seems to have decided in between whether he was an enemy or not…
“Do you think you know the location?”
“Uh. It’s definitely underground.”
The gate is underground. Even if the location had changed a little, the discomfort felt the closer I got, the more it became a compass.
The geography of this place is well known. I quickly found a building with a slightly lower height than the others. There was a gate right in the basement of this building.
‘···Also.’
When I opened the door, it was already full of people. They were invisible as combat personnel with a mixture of men and women of all ages, but their eyes were stained black. They looked at us at the same time and then slowly stood up. It was an eerily terrifying sight.
“It’s too late.”
Noah Park kicked her tongue and transformed Arwell into a sword. I stretched out my arms to stop Noah Park and asked.
“What are you going to do ?”
“…it can’t be helped. Destroy the gate in a hurry and go to help.”
Park Noah looked at me with indifferent eyes. She suddenly looked as if she was wondering why. I shook my head and said.
“Do you want to teach Arwell how to cut people?”
“Let’s go in a more peaceful way.”
As if what she had just said had any effect, Noah Park flinched and took a step back. I stretched my hands to the sky and moved my mana.
Noah Park muttered while looking at the dozens of small waterballs that were made above my head.
“Jihan. You must be…”
“right.”
The peaceful way is right. Of course, when he wakes up, he has bruises all over his body. Wouldn’t that be better than dying though?
I took the lead and entered the building and began to carefully shoot waterballs at those who were about to run towards us. Park Noah followed him quietly.
“Aww!!!”
As I listened to the voices of people in pain as they fell after being hit by a water ball, I found a door lying on the floor. It was the only entrance to the basement.
When Noah Park opened the door, the ladder that appeared was stretching out into the darkness.
“I’ll go first.”
Noah Park lit a flame in her hand and ran into the darkness without holding the ladder.
“Hey! Let’s go together!”
I destroyed all the remaining water balls and grabbed the ladder. He hurriedly closed the door at the sound of footsteps rushing in this direction and, relying on his senses, slowly descended the ladder.
Fortunately, Noah Park, who had already arrived, was stretching the fire towards this side, so the further down she went, the easier it was to secure the view.
As I descended, Noah Park pointed to one side with a hand filled with fire.
There, I could see that darkness of unknown depth was filling the gap in the torn air. It was the gate. Black smoke, visible to the naked eye, was flowing out of it. As the discomfort grew, I felt myself becoming more sensitive without realizing it.
Whoa. I calmed my mind and looked at Noah Park.
“Please. Noah, Arwell.”
“I’ll take care of it.”
In the meantime, Noah Park calmly said whether she was affected by the erosion. I secretly backed away from her, fearing that she might be attacked.
Park Noah silently approached the gate and raised the blue sword.
gate.
And he swung his sword towards it.
At dawn, the situation at the Yoosung Academy began to become clear. Screams from outside and the sound of something being smashed. Astiel Grand was watching the scene clearly through the window with the curtains pulled slightly.
‘Necromancer….’
Those damn bastards got the job done. Fortunately, I was staying up all night in the student council room without sleeping, so I was able to act quickly as soon as I noticed the situation. A blessing was placed on the headquarters building, and a divine barrier was laid in a layer nearby. With this, at least the entry and exit of the jesters could be prevented.
“Is everyone okay?”
Astiel looked at the aspiring heroes who entered the student council room. Because of what happened in the early morning, there were still many expressions of dismay.
‘Most of them are first year students…’
Anyway, I’m worried about what will happen if this place is attacked. There were not enough people who had actually experienced it. By the way, the fact that there are no 2nd or 3rd graders means they are fighting outside, so it might be a good thing.
Although there are instructors, the number of them is insufficient, and the situation is urgent to ask for immediate support. Not only the Necromancer, but the corpses kept here were also enemies.
‘Whoa, though.’
Younseong Oh, Younha Oh, Line Castell, Yurin, etc. Most of the first-year students were called talented people.
“Good job, Aiden.”
Astiel said to Aiden who was leading the group. He wanted to give him a blessing to recover from fatigue, but he couldn’t because he had to conserve his divine power.
“No, not really…”
Aiden seemed to be exhausted and, unlike usual, sat down on the floor without paying attention to the gazes around him. She doesn’t know, but she’s got her physical fitness rating of 0. She has been struggling alone since dawn, and she has already reached the limit of her stamina.
“Ellen. Drink some water.”
Castell sneaked up to the side and handed him a bottle of water. Aiden barely turned his gaze, grabbed it, and tried to open the lid. However, his hand does not have any strength, so he does not pursue it.
In the end, I was so annoyed that I threw the bottle of water on the floor.
“oh···.”
I heard Castel’s bewildered voice next to me, but I didn’t care and picked up the phone. There has been no contact on the screen yet.
‘Anyway, this human….’
No reply after contacting. I don’t know how I noticed the situation now, but thanks to that, I was able to figure out what caused the sudden mana surge at dawn.
‘If you’ve noticed this by your senses…’
I’ll definitely have to take him to the tower someday. Doctors won’t care.
After thinking about it, Aiden glanced at Ryu Seo-yeon behind him. She was thinking of something with her eyes closed, as if she had not yet accepted the situation.
…But why did you have to protect Ryu Seo-yeon? Aiden questioned that.
bang bang!
Then there was a knock on the door of the student council room. The sound of the conversation they were talking about stopped all at once, and everyone focused their eyes on the door.
Once again.
The atmosphere began to tense up sharply at the sound of the ringing again and again. Some of them took out their weapons and got up from their seats.
“···Wait!”
At that moment, Aiden, feeling something, staggered up and walked towards the door. And before anyone could dry it, I suddenly opened the door.
“Aiden! What are you doing…?”
Astiel hurriedly ran with the divine power in his hand, and then shut his mouth. In front of the door of the student council room stood Seo Ji-han, sweaty and scarred, and Park No-ah barely supporting him.
As Noah Park staggered in, Aiden immediately closed the door.
“How did this happen?”
“Ellen… please accept this person.”
“Huh? Yes, yes.”
Park Noah could not even answer the question, and as soon as she handed over Seo Ji-han, she leaned against the wall as if exhausted and sat down. Lian Ar Well, who was placed over her skirt, was also trembling with blood condensed on her blade.
“Jihan? Are you okay?”
Despite Aiden’s worries, Seo Ji-han muttered with a smile as she was exhausted.
“I said I did it…. Sifal….”
“What, what did you do?”
“…Aiden.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
Seo Ji-han said to Aiden with unfocused eyes.
“…just sleep for five minutes.”
As soon as he said those words, Seo Ji-han fell powerlessly into Aiden’s arms.
[Clear ‘Suspicious Village’]
[As a reward, the 47th privilege ‘Choice’ is unlocked.]
[▶Noah Park felt a little calm in her heart.]
