chapter 26
026. Pride (3)
Siana Flaen.
All the talents and so-called geniuses in this world are bound to feel humbled in front of Siana.
Even a person who was once praised as a genius, the moment he saw Sianna’s high-level magic, he keenly felt that he was a frog in a well.
There are no exceptions for swordsmen, inventors, and priests.
Literally, heaven.
The existence itself is a cheat-like child. It’s only natural that the game company <Warriors Kingdom> decided that in the first place.
However, even Deianne could not have imagined in her dreams that Cyana would defeat her.
No matter how great it was, it was still unfinished, and the opponent was Deianne, who had the power of a hiven.
Judging from the fact that Ackerman’s sword was lodged in his heart, Ackerman must have put it in the last one.
However, Siana’s magic circle. As far as I know, that’s meteor bombardment magic.
The small impact craters on the floor are proof of that.
The small meteors that fell from the magic circle would have broken Deianne’s powerful barrier, and Ackerman would have launched the ‘water dragon’.
This is a rough picture drawn when looking at the remains of a battle.
I just have my doubts.
Is it really over?
It is difficult to erase anxiety.
To say it’s over, Deianne hasn’t disappeared yet. When demons die, they crumble like ashes left over from a fire.
However, the reptile-like skin that still covered Deiane was intact.
In the first place, as long as there is Hyven’s power, recovery will come soon. Now, Deiane is a monster who comes back to life even if her heart is pierced.
“Aren, Aren! Did you do well in Dalian? Hey, I wanted to see Aren until the end… … .”
“Siana. Wait a moment.”
“Yes?”
Cyanna rushed over and started talking to me, but I stopped her, seized by a sense of uneasiness.
“Aren? what’s the matter?”
Shiana stares at me, but my gaze is straight ahead.
Deianne’s status window is still visible to me. Deiane is still alive… … !
“uh?”
Shiana also started to get nervous again, probably sensing something strange.
“professor. Oh, are you still alive?”
“maybe.”
Indeed, he was a worshiper of the king of lies, Diamon. Now, Deiane is pretending to be dead.
Waiting for someone to come. If you approached without knowing anything, it would be the way to the nether world.
It’s an obvious deception in my eyes.
“uh… … what about aren? Will Aren run away? My, I’ll try something!”
Cyana stretched out her arms and began to gather mana.
I’m scared, but I’m full of confidence. In the meantime, he worries about me. It’s really reassuring, Siana!
“No, Siana. Can you lend me your ears for a second?”
“yes? Yes? ear? Ear, whisper?”
Siana blushes for some reason.
I whispered to Cyana how to defeat Deiane.
“got it?”
“Ugh… … yes. Hey Aren. How do you know Aren so well? Like someone you just know… … .”
Um, because I played a lot of dirty?
“aaa! die!”
Deianne cried out while coughing up blood.
Before I could answer anything, the final phase had begun. I accidentally participated in the end of the boss battle.
wriggling
You’ll get tired of just lying still. Deianne twisted and stood up.
He pulled out the knife stuck in his heart and threw it away.
“Hehe! gross.”
Shiana hated it and hid behind me.
It’s a bland yet interesting reaction, considering that a professor who had been calling her so pretty just a few days ago had become that kind of monster.
“Oh my gosh. Who is this?”
Deianne stared at me with red eyes. The sounds coming out of her mouth are no longer alluring. It was the voice of a hideous, disgusting hyven.
Even so, the way she speaks is still a femme fatale, so the sense of difference is so severe that she is about to vomit.
“Isn’t it Blackfire?”
The corners of Deianne’s mouth were torn to the cheekbones.
“Are you here to help me? Little boy?”
Instead of answering, he drew his sword. I checked the time. Now that the final phase has begun, it’s time to collapse.
“Ugh!?”
The beginning is around the heart where Ackerman’s knife was pierced. Then, the arms, legs, and face all exploded and began to melt.
Randomly mixed blood and magic flowed down like lava.
Deianne’s appearance, which was supposed to be beautiful, had changed terribly. Of course I have to scream.
“This, this is not me!”
The mind was clouded by Magi, and the body was not intact. What remains is the will of the hyven and Deianne’s ego that is on the verge of collapsing.
“aaa! Hive!”
Only at the end did he realize that he had made a mistake.
Humans can never suppress the power of demons.
Deianne, who was attacked by Hyven. It’s already late.
A scream rang as if it would tear the eardrum. The air trembles. Sianna and I covered our ears and barely endured.
Soon, Deianne’s suppressed magical power will explode, devastating this area.
‘Siana.’
I communicated verbally, as Shiana often did.
“yes! Aren! I’ll do my best!”
At this point, Siana shouted until her throat exploded.
It’s time to start the operation anyway.
* * *
‘Aren asked me.’
It’s rare.
The first thing Aren spoke to Sianna was.
Others always talk first, ask reckless favors, and be a nuisance, but it was nice that Aren didn’t.
Aren is a friend you can hang out with without any burden.
Rather, his aloof attitude makes Shiana want to ask for attention first.
Aren asked for it first. Even in whispers. I was embarrassed because their faces were so close, but… … .
It was also cool to see him calmly set up a strategy in such a situation. Even though Siana herself was in such a frightened situation.
Not to mention Hoya, who made a fuss and hid behind Siana. Although Ackerman was brave, he was frankly too reckless. I’m glad the result was a success.
Aren is the exact opposite of Shiana, who fools around without a plan, mischiefs, and plays.
So, Shiana has no choice but to trust Aren even more. I even feel like everything will be fine if I just do what Aren tells me to do!
‘That monster will soon emit magic and create waves. Then use the barrier to protect your friends.’
Aren’s first request.
Cyana formed a barrier while chanting the spell she was accustomed to.
I know because I’ve already fought once, but the professor who has changed is very strong.
One barrier isn’t enough.
Cyana created five large barriers. This is enough to block even the lower Meteor.
“Aren, Aren! I made a barrier! Heheuk! Aren, what are you doing! Doesn’t it hurt?”
“hurt.”
Shiana wanted to brag, so she looked behind her and saw Aren cutting her own hand with a knife!
And then, casually, without a single change of expression, he said he was sick. Aren is a very special guy.
cooong!
cooong!
It sounds. Turning her head, Deianne’s eyes, nose, and mouth were dyed purple, just as Aren had said.
I felt a huge flow of magical power on my skin. it will explode soon
come!
—-!
The magic power that exploded from Deianne’s body swept the area. The power of the ensuing gale was enormous.
Shiana even squeezed the strength she had been suckling to protect Aren and her friends.
One or two barriers are broken. The body was pushed back. In the end, the mana frenzy stopped only when the last remaining barrier was broken.
“Ugh. Are you okay guys?”
Cyanna turned to Ackerman.
Friends were fine. I don’t know what happened because I’m passed out.
Anyway, she saved it. Siana pursed her lips and nodded.
For a moment of pride, her eyes caught sight of her surroundings.
“Ew. The buildings are all blown up. What should I do with this?”
Even in this situation, Siana is worried about the wrong thing.
However, the zoological garden is intact, so it is safe.
“I am not dying aaa! Hive! Damn this!”
At that moment, a black afterimage flashed past her.
“Hey, Aren!”
Aren was like a beast hunting for prey. There was no hesitation in running. Contrary to appearances, it is definitely a battle system.
Awesome.
Everything is as Aren said.
‘When the explosion is over, I’ll run in and finish it off. When I run, Shiana, you… … .’
Blow me over that monster’s head with leap magic.
Aren asked with conviction. Actually, it is a very strange and reckless request.
no crazy
Leap magic is a high-level magic that cannot be used recklessly. It is more difficult to make a separate object move instead of moving yourself.
However, Aren asked to move only himself.
If Cyana made the slightest mistake, Aren might fly to the wrong place or die from being torn limb from limb. It’s really heartbreaking.
Cyanna gulps.
I had never felt nervous before using magic, but I felt it for the first time today.
‘What can I do, my heart is shaking… … .’
Hee- Even so, thinking that Aren believed in him made me laugh.
Cyana opened her eyes and concentrated.
Spatial coordinates were calculated in an instant. In the blink of an eye, I had already double-checked and ran the simulation ten times.
There are no failures.
Unconditionally, Siana leaps to the desired place.
Just before Deiane’s wide-area enchantment magic swallowed Aren, Cyana used leap magic.
Aren was sucked into the light, then reappeared in the exact space Cyana had calculated.
Exactly above Deiane’s head.
“Aren… … !”
Allen falls. He was already in a falling position.
It was as if he knew that Ciana would succeed, for granted.
Deianne’s already weakened barrier burst like a bubble, and Aren’s sword passed through Deianne’s shoulder and pierced her heart.
“Awesome, Aren! by the way… … .”
Seeing that figure, Shiana thought it was amazing, but was also worried.
It was because Deianne got up again even though she had received a fatal blow that way just now.
there are no zombies
“Aren, that, that’s not enough! I’ll attack you! Harm… … ?”
The moment Cyana hurriedly began to use her magic, something surprising happened.
When Aren pressed Deianne’s face with his bloody hand, the flames started!
“That… … ?”
Black flames, like those seen in hell, burned roaringly even in the torrential rain.
It was the black fire that Aren constantly practiced next to the zoo.

Kyaaagh!
Deianne screamed like a wounded beast. Writhing in pain, he tried to put out the fire.
Was Aren trying to alleviate her pain?
He slowly approached Deianne, who was causing a riot… … .
“!”
cut his throat
* * *
Principal Pompey and other academy executives and professors could not close their gaping mouths.
The Magical Professor’s Building and its surroundings were shattered as if they had been hit by an artillery bombardment.
I came running quickly because of the sudden loud explosion, and it was like this.
Fortunately, the heavy rain did not lead to a fire, but the damage was enormous.
But most importantly… … !
“Nobody got hurt!”
is a person’s life
Pompey and some of the directors exclaimed hastily.
Then Julius took the lead and started looking for the injured. The magic professor also summoned his familiar and ordered him to find someone.
“Professor Gilliott! Please take care of the scene. I must hurry to the Orb.”
In the middle of the frenzy, Pompey remembered the Orb. If this had happened, it would have been normal for the orb to have worked. Something must be wrong.
“All right! Please come.”
Gilliot nodded with a heavy face. In this case, he is the right professor to trust.
After Pompey left, familiars found the students.
“Well… … I… … .”
A restless silver-haired girl.
“Siana!”
The professors shouted in unison and ran.
What a waste to have a freshman representative involved in something like this.
“Siana, are you feeling well!”
“I am not hurt!”
“What the hell happened, student Siana? How is your body?”
A barrage of questions poured in. It seems that everyone is anxious to look good for Sianna.
Julius broke through the crowd and entered.
“Everyone back off. The student was scared!”
Professor Gilliott was already taking care of Ackerman, Hoya, Fonte, and Cain, who had fallen beside Cyana.
“… … .”
Everyone wanted to be sorry.
It’s like he’s only worried about the well-being of Siana, a renowned cadet.
“Ahaha… … I’m fine, professors.”
Shiana smiled shyly and replied.
For a person who went through a huge incident, he looked very fine. Considering what Shiana had experienced in the Mage Tower, she could have endured this level of shock.
“I, treat my friends sooner than that… … !”
Especially Cain was the most serious.
Shiana regretted that she hadn’t left her alone, but after hearing Aren’s story, she agreed.
Aren was not among the injured cadets.
The whole story goes back to right after Aren cut Deianne’s head.
.
.
.
.
.
Deianne turned to gray powder and disappeared.
She met her end after reciting lines that Aren had been tired of hearing.
This is the end of Act 1.
“Aren, Aren! it’s okay?”
Cyana leaped to Aren’s side without looking back.
It was a very natural magic. It was all thanks to this jumping magic that she always found Aren.
Whether it’s a library, a battle-type gym, or wherever… … Once I figured out Aren’s schedule, all I had to do was jump in and wait.
Aren was fortunately fine.
On the contrary, it was strange that he was fine even after going through such a big thing.
His always pale face became more prominent in the rain. His dark circles also sank even more.
“Good work, Siana.”
Aren, who had been staring at Deianne’s remains for a long time, praised her plainly.
“Yes… … ! Arendu. If it wasn’t for Aren, it would have been a really big deal. right?”
“… … .”
Aren didn’t answer. Instead, I was looking hard for something. He rummaged through Deianne’s ashes and found a certain marble.
“yes? Aren, what is that?”
Aren said while brushing off the dust on the beads.
“Siana. Do you know why Professor Deiane became like this?”
Shiana is also vaguely feeling it. It’s a power I’ve experienced a few times in the Mage Tower, but I wasn’t sure because I didn’t imagine that I would feel this at the academy.
“Yes. Amadou Demon… … ?”
“right. This orb has to do with that power. Let me take it and examine it.”
Aren put the marble into his pocket.
“Well, it’s better to tell the professors about that… … !”
ah! Shiana covered her mouth as if she knew something.
“You are right. I left it to the professor, and it’s like this. I can’t trust anyone.”
Aeonia was stained with evil.
Aren suddenly remembered those words.
“Yes. It would be nice if Aren had it too. Aren take care of it!”
Shiana nodded, saying it was a good idea.
There are not just one or two mysteries, but for now, it seemed good that Aren was taking care of them.
Besides, I could use this as an excuse to keep getting close to Aren, so that was good.
“Yes, Areen. How can I explain all this?”
From afar, Siana sensed that people were coming towards this place.
The faculty building was smashed, and the area around it was swept away.
How else should I say the fact that I fought against the demons?
It’s already getting clogged up.
“Siana.”
“Yes! Aren!”
Aren suddenly called Sianna. For some reason, Siana, who misunderstood that the call was friendly, answered with a smile.
“I have a favor.”
“What! What?”
Aren asked me twice in one day… … !
this is very precious
“You know I’m Blackfire, right?”
Aren asked cautiously. Shiana tilted her head slightly.
“yes!”
I don’t usually memorize other people’s surnames well, but Aren is a surname that’s easy to remember, so I memorized it right away.
Aren said after being slightly taken aback by the unexpected lively reaction.
“If my involvement in this becomes known… … .”
.
.
.
.
.
“So me and Ackerman somehow stopped it! Oh, and other friends too. Right Cain?”
“… … Yes. Siana is right.”
Sianna and Cain lie hard for Aren.
Aren wasn’t here… … !
It was because of his request that if the fact that a student of the Blackfire family was involved with the demons was revealed for any reason, it would be very difficult.
Even after defeating the demons. I couldn’t understand Aren’s stubborn refusal to do something to be praised, but I couldn’t help it when he said he didn’t like Aren.
Cyanna didn’t care about Aren’s last name, but the reality he faced was different, so she decided to help Aren. Besides, there seemed to be quite a lot of things I couldn’t say.
‘Please, Siana. I’ll buy ‘Warriors Pizza’ again later.’
‘Yeah, good! Instead, will you explain everything later? You promise!?’
Instead, she promised to explain everything later, so Shiana was not a losing business at all.
Cain reluctantly agreed. It was because I had seen all through the semester what Aren was going through just for being Blackfire.
Aren’s request was understandable enough.
Sianna and Cain kissed each other in all of these incidents and erased Aren.
“As soon as the sparring was over, I went to see Professor Deiane.”
“When I arrived, it was there. That, the first monster I’ve ever seen… … ! Hee!”
“A monster suddenly attacked me. Then Fonte fell with a head injury.”
“Yeah, so! You know! We fought together! All of a sudden!”
“Professor Deianne has appeared. Judging by the appearance… … was not a person I don’t know who he is.”
“I know! Yes. It’s a demon, that!”
“Then what… … ah! Cain is fighting monsters alone! Me, Ackerman, and Hoya fought with Professor Deiane!”
“Because I decided it was better for me to stay alone and fight.”
Cain was left alone to defeat the monster, while Cyana worked with Ackerman and Hoya to defeat Deiane.
Aren Blackfire did not appear anywhere.
The professors frowned upon hearing Sianna and Cain’s explanation mixed with lies.
“haha.”
“I can’t believe it. You’re a demon.”
“Is it true?”
“Then, you mean that Siana and Cain are lying! This is a remark that discredits the names of the two cadets!”
—-Kurrureung!
There was a sound like the hazy sky splitting.
It’s amazing timing. It was like a flare announcing the revival of ‘Ma’.
“First of all, we take the injured students back. Go and listen to the details.”
Gilliott stepped in.
After finding all the injured people nearby and completing first aid, I decided to go back and sort things out.
* * *
It’s damn hard.
My body feels heavy after using up all my mana. That’s why I usually save and save my mana.
In addition, after using ‘Black Fire’ once, the recoil is too severe, but today it was enough to use up all my magic power, so I almost crawled all the way to the dormitory.
Still, after returning to the dormitory and taking a warm shower, I felt like I would live a little longer.
I threw myself on the bed like a man after a hard day’s work. It feels really good to be soft. Fatigue melted away.
“scent!”
The clown ascends.
Now you can rest again!
The final exams are over, and the annoyingly twisted story has been fixed.
Now, as long as Siana and Cain talk well, I don’t have to get involved in this anymore.
Well, I’ll be able to soothe him well by buying a pit jja in moderation later. Cain seemed to have somehow understood my situation.
He is a benefactor who saved his life, and it is only natural that he should do that much.
now… … The rest is up to Ackerman.
Ackerman will try to prevent the revival of the demon king by fighting, roasting, and fighting with Argon.
I’ve done it this far, but Ackerman will take care of it from now on, right?
Let’s trust Ackerman Breed, the protagonist and sword master of <Warriors Kingdom>.
After roughly organizing today’s work in my head, there was something that came to mind at the end.
A marble obtained from Deiane. He took a marble from his soiled school uniform pocket and held it up to the light.
the color is brilliant
“Besides, I got a good tem.”
She made an excuse, saying, “What about the secret of this bead demon?”
However, it has nothing to do with the secret of the demons.
this is rather… … .
