Chapter 233
Battle of Bellbroke (1)
The cheers of the crowd quickly turned into screams as they looked up at the fireworks beautifully decorating the sky.
– ‘Aaaaaaaah!’
– ‘What is that! Run away too! ‘We have to run!’
Tanya, who was standing on the podium in the student square and watching the fireworks with the crowd, could not help but tremble when she saw the scene in front of her.
Above Sylvania Academy.
The figure that emerged leisurely through the clouds and bathed in the light of firecrackers… was clearly the head of a gigantic dragon.
It was only a minute ago that the festival fireworks filled the sky and everyone was smiling and shouting for peace.
The dragon that appeared, announcing the end of the world in just one minute, was about to roar.
I know the name of the great disaster that blows away even this huge island.
Seong Chang-ryong Velbroke.
〈 Sylvania’s Failed Sword Saint 〉 The final boss.
According to the story, it is a disaster that appears in the summer of the year the main character, Tailley McLaure, graduates, and tries to destroy Sylvania.
– ‘Aaaah! Wow! monster! ‘It’s a monster!’
– ‘Everyone run away!’
– ‘My son! Bella line! Where did you go?! my son! Please find my son!’
– ‘Everyone get out of the way! Get out of the way!’
– ‘Maxes Bridge! Run to Maxes Bridge right now! ‘It’s the only way to get off this island the fastest!’
– ‘Kaaaaaaaa! foot! ‘My feet!’
The student square quickly turned into chaos, filled with people screaming and running away.
In the midst of the chaos, I was quietly looking up at the sky, mixed in with the fleeing crowd.
At first, I was embarrassed.
The reason I was able to remain calm was because it wasn’t something completely unexpected.
The Glaskan subjugation, the Glast subjugation, the Lucy subjugation, and the Crepin subjugation…
Not once did anything go as expected. I had no idea that just because he was Bellbroke, he would show up exactly on time as if he had promised.
That’s why I quickly stimulated Tailly to grow when I had time, and even though I had some free time left, I also increased my magic abilities.
Even so… Even so…
“Ed!”
A familiar voice was heard from among the crowd.
It was Yenika who ran out with the crowd, leading her parents. Yenika was also watching the final performance with her parents at the student square.
Orte and Sayla, who were running after Yenica, saw me and shouted.
“Master Ed! You must run away now! In the sky… in the sky…”
“Ed.”
However, Yenica, who interrupted Orte, spoke in a calmer voice.
“The Seongchangryong that Ed was talking about…”
“Yeah… it’s a bit faster than expected, but… it’s that guy.”
Yenica’s expression became frozen before she could finish speaking.
I took a deep breath and spoke to Jenica.
“Evacuate your parents first. “If you run to Maxes Bridge now, you won’t be able to use the bridge properly because of the crowds.”
“That…”
“You are a very valuable human resource with the ability to evacuate people off the island in this seemingly chaotic situation. “How many people can a flying spirit carry at once?”
“If I summon the Lieutenant Wind Spirit… I can still move ten people at once… Although I’m exhausted after a long flight with that many people on board…” ”
Then, evacuate the most important people off the island right away. “Isn’t saving your parents the most important thing?”
I immediately checked the equipment I had packed and summarized the main points as much as possible and delivered them to Yenika.
It’s an emergency. There was no time to hesitate.
– Kaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Velbroke’s roar, like scraping iron plates, filled the skies of Sylvania.
The appearance revealed between the flames of firecrackers.
However, that appearance was strangely different from the Bellbroke I knew.
There is a chain wrapped around it.
A huge magic chain wrapped around the body, with only the upper body rising from the sea, is once again trying to drag Belbrok down into the sea.
The seal was not completely broken.
Is it because it is too early? Or are there other external variables?
Unlike the Belbroke in my memory who completely broke the seal, that Belbroke is still fighting against the seal.
Velbroke’s roar was also closer to a scream made to break the chains of the seal rather than the result of ferocity.
It has not yet been fully resurrected.
Just the sound of the roar makes the crowd in the square disappear.
A roar filled with magical power has physical power in itself. Still, if the distance is long, the influence will diminish.
However, the roar that came from Belbroke’s head in the distant sky was powerful enough to hit people. I once again realized Velbroke’s ridiculous amount of magical power.
– ‘Kyaaaaaaak’
– ‘Please save me…!’
The screams of the crowd were heard once again.
Yenika also looked up at me with a serious expression again while supporting her parents.
“What about Ed?”
“First of all, Yenika, I told you to evacuate everyone you consider important. “Think about evacuating your parents first.”
“Next is Ed.”
Yenika spoke casually.
Orte and Sayla looked at each other with wide eyes, but there was no time to react individually.
“I…”
I look up at Belbroke, who continues to roar in the vast expanse, holding on to the chain that is being sucked into the sea again.
“We have to stop that.”
It was said so naturally that Yenika didn’t even think about objecting… and ended up laughing.
When I think about it, I have always been like this. There were many cases of saying nonsense.
And the same goes for Yenika. This is a girl who always gets swept away when she behaves like this.
Yenica gathered her embarrassment from the sudden change in the situation and slowly spoke.
“If I use that ring that Ed had… I can evacuate over a hundred people at once.”
A phoenix ring given by Professor Glast.
The ring’s power, which allows you to draw magical energy from the future and use it right away, allows anyone, not just me, to handle magic at an absurd level.
In particular, the greater the user’s magical power, the more its power increases exponentially.
“If we summon the highest-ranking water spirit, Friede, we will be able to evacuate most of the outsiders on this island to the continent in just a few round trips. Well at least. “You can run away.”
The resurrection of Seong Chang-ryong and Velbroke is not a disaster that one individual can prevent.
So the most reasonable option is to run away.
“But Ed wouldn’t think so.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Jenica even gave me a small smile as if she was reading my mind, trying to relieve my tension.
“Ed… are you thinking about taking it down?”
You might think it’s too unrealistic.
Seongchangryong Velbroke is a monster of such ridiculous levels that it can blow up an entire living quarters with a single kick.
Right now, I am unable to completely control my body due to the loose seal, but as soon as the chains are broken, Aken Island will be destroyed.
In fact, if that happens, evacuation is meaningless.
If a disaster of that magnitude occurs, there is no place in the entire empire that can be called a safe zone.
“okay. Ed. If I already use the ring, I won’t be able to use it when it’s important, and I’ll also be incapable of fighting… so there’s a good chance it’ll be a handshake. And if you’re going to use the ring, the strongest person… It would be more efficient for Principal Lucia or Obel to use it…”
“Master Ed. It is right for Master Ed to evacuate first. Come with us right now…”
“No, it’s okay. This may be your only chance to escape the island. Escape with Jenica right away.’”
I looked Orte straight in the eye and spoke clearly.
A few people passed by and tapped each other on the shoulder as the crowd ran towards them, making a fuss, but they paid no attention. They must have been out of their minds too.
“Master Ed..”
“I won’t say it twice. “The situation is urgent and there is no time to persuade.”
When I asserted that, it was Yenica who actually pulled Orte’s hand.
“Dad, let’s go quickly! “It’s even more of a nuisance to waste time like this!”
Jenica, who had pulled Seila and Orte tightly, looked at me and spoke with a stern face.
“I’ll be back as soon as possible. Where is Ed going?”
What is the first move to take in this urgent situation?
The answer was actually clearly determined.
“I’m going to go find Taily.”
I spoke while gathering magical power to summon Merilda.
The most important thing now is to attract Tailly, who can deliver the final blow to Seongchangryong.
This is a disaster that comes sooner than expected. Tailly’s specifications have not yet fully grown.
I may not be very good at the final battle specifications, but I still learned the dragon slayer sword that can pierce Velbroke’s heart and the sword mastery that can cause some damage to Velbroke’s flesh.
It may not meet the sufficient conditions, but the minimum conditions have been met.
As long as we add some other companions and assist her in accessing Velbroke’s heart… the current Tailley will be able to deliver the final blow. That’s all.
If only I could kill Velbroke.
If I can somehow control the terrible Seongchangryong that covers the sky… my entire journey will be completed.
The end of the entire journey that started with getting stuck in the forest, running, rolling, getting hurt, getting up again, and enduring… has finally arrived.
I gritted my teeth and continued to gather magical energy.
“Do you know where Ed Tailley is?!”
First of all, the most important thing is to take Taily and place her in front of Belbroke’s heart.
To do this, we must first specify Tailley’s location. Most of the students came to this student plaza to watch the closing ceremony, but…
“They’re probably in the Trix building…!”
Before the closing ceremony began, Tailley’s lover, Ayla, came to me and said something.
Since he needs to read the Sage’s Seal, he plans to take advantage of this closing event to sneak into the Trix Hall.
If she consulted with me about executing the plan, she would have also told her companion, Tailley. No matter what, Tailley would have tried to help Ayla with her plan.
There is a high probability that Tailly would have headed to the Trix building to help Ayla.
If it’s not in this student square… it’s almost certain…!
Soon, a huge wind wolf is summoned by my magic.
The noble figure of Merilda, a high-ranking wind spirit, was placed in the student plaza. The outsiders who were running away also clicked their tongues when they saw the scene.
Without any need to exchange words, Merilda lowered her head and I quickly jumped on her back.
*The Maxes Bridge, the only land route out of the island, was blocked.
The news spread quickly.
In fact, the news immediately reached Lortel, who had the fastest information on Aken Island.
Maxes Bridge is a trade bridge built with investment from Elte Trading Company and has a long history.
As the investor was the Elte Chamber of Commerce, most of the merchants who set up stalls along the route were also affiliated with the Elte Chamber of Commerce.
“Thirty-one merchants on the Mae Maxes Bridge are dead or missing. For now, we are only reporting the parts that have been quickly confirmed, and the number of deaths will increase depending on the reports that follow. It may increase…”
“Don’t panic, Secretary Rienna. We are the leadership. “You have to remain calm in any situation.”
Lortel Kecheln, who was receiving reports from employees in the square of the living building, looked up at the sky.
A Seongchangryong roaring while wrapped in chains.
Several tens of minutes had passed since the terrifying scene was revealed.
The sight of Velbroke periodically emitting a roar filled with magical power and trying to escape from his chains… seems as if he is announcing the end of the world.
It is natural for humans to be overcome with fear and try to run away.
Anyone can see that this is a disaster that cannot be prevented by human power alone.
However, Lortel is a calm person who maintains reason in any situation.
By breaking out a drop of cold sweat and catching your breath, you can maintain your composure even in this crazy situation.
Rather, thanks to Lortel’s cool-headed appearance, even the employees who were almost dragged into chaos were able to come to their senses for now.
“Any other reports?”
Dozens of people died within the company. More than half of them are veteran merchants.
This alone is already a major accident. If it weren’t for a catastrophe like Bellbroke, the damage would be so enormous that I might have to resign from my position as the head of the association right away.
Nevertheless, Lortel did not panic and clearly set his priorities.
“Currently, the living area is in a state of chaos due to outsiders and residents of the living area who want to leave the island. “In particular, the dock area is said to be uncontrollable due to the large crowds.”
“That… you can tell just by looking at the current situation. “Any other notable moves?”
“There is a movement to resolve the chaos centered around a few forces. “Since Emperor Cloel is in the royal quarters, the imperial faction people gathered around His Majesty are showing some organized movement.”
An informant from the imperial family came running and bowed his head to Lortel and reported.
“I heard that in the faculty building, student council president Tanya Rosstaylor is trying to sort out the confusion and gather people, and that Princess Selaha is also separately controlling the people in the faculty building. “Principal Obel and the faculty and staff are also taking active action.”
“What about the living area?”
“It is said that Saint Clarice is trying to sort out the confusion among the Telos believers who were holding a prayer meeting near the student church. Still, if we don’t find a way to escape from Aken Island, the fundamental confusion will not go away.”
Fortunately, there are influential people scattered throughout Aken Island who can control and control the chaotic crowds.
Principal Obel Forcius, centered around the Trix Building.
Emperor Chloe and Princess Fenia, centered around the royal residence.
Tanya Rosstaylor, who formed a force centered around the student council in the student square.
And Princess Selaha, who was moving toward the teacher building.
Saint Clarice is gathering people around the student church.
Maid Jean Belle Maia gathers and protects the Ofilis Building staff and VIP students.
In addition, there is Lortel Kecheln of the Elte Chamber of Commerce, which holds a tight hold on power centered around the residential area.
The numerous people inside Aken Island were organized into point organizations centered on the leaders around them, and they succeeded in forming order. Most of them were led by senior academic staff or people with high status who could assert their authority.
However, the fundamental confusion has not been resolved, and the biggest problem, the lack of an escape route, shows no signs of being solved.
There is no telling when Belbroke, struggling in the distant sky, will emerge from the influence of the seal and destroy Aken Island.
What time is there to wait for the imperial court to bring in a huge sailing ship?
Already, parts of the coast and cliff areas are collapsing due to the scales and struggles that Belbroke spews out intermittently as he struggles.
It is good to gather in each area, take a defensive stance, and hold a sit-in protest. However, in the end, if we cannot resolve Belbroke or escape Aken Island, only catastrophe remains.
“How many people are able to escape the island on their own without using the land route?”
“First of all, escaping the island using spatial magic is nonsense due to the consumption of magical power, and the only way is to use a giant spirit or use flying magic. Some professors and students can do it, but the number is so small that it is physically impossible to show off this huge crowd…!”
“The imperial family gave instructions to mobilize sailing ships to coastal cities. But… of course there’s no way we can make it on time…!”
Due to the nature of Sylvania Academy, which rarely uses sea routes, the number of people who can go out by boat is only a few dozen at a time.
In addition, if so many people have gathered at the dock to go out, it is safe to say that the sea route has also been virtually paralyzed.
Outsider.
This Aken Island had become a cemetery for those who could do nothing but await the coming of Belbroke… and would face a terrible death when the time came.
“First of all, I heard that together with Emperor Cloel, they are looking for a way to get some distinguished guests to escape first..!”
The most important thing is the emperor’s well-being.
The people in the royal quarters will first try their best to get the two princesses and Emperor Cloel off the island.
However, Lortel Kecheln is well aware of Emperor Cloel’s tendencies.
“Perhaps Emperor Cloel’s personality would be to try to sort out this chaos first rather than rush to escape right away.”
This is the last remaining weakness of Emperor Cloel.
I don’t take good care of my own body. They are so concerned about the national interest and the people that they do not take good care of their own safety.
At first glance, it may be said that he is a nobleman who truly cares about his people… but
considering how important the position of the emperor is, it is not a very wise temperament.
No matter what anyone says, the emperor is the central point of everyone. If such a person gets injured or dies, the chaos becomes even more uncontrollable.
Therefore, taking care of one’s own safety is directly related to taking care of the safety of the crowd. That fact should not be taken lightly, but Emperor Cloel, who has lived as a saint, will try to somehow resolve the confusion of the people.
Lortel frowned and accelerated his walking pace.
What should you do first?
You have to set your priorities. As the leader of Elte Company, every minute and every second of judgment will put the lives of dozens of people at risk.
“Can we use our ship…?”
“There are seven small merchant ships, but they are all occupied… It is unclear whether they will be able to set sail due to the crowds holding the ships at the dock and making a fuss.”
“…”
“is it so. Then… we would rather gather people from the living quarters and join the royal quarters…”
– Kugung…! thud…!
– Kaaaaaaa!
It was at that time that Lortel was quickly trying to sort out the situation.
Belbroke, struggling in the sky, roared once again.
A roar filled with magical power once again crosses the sky of the night and echoes throughout the world as if it would tear the eardrums.
As he struggles to tear off the huge chains that are wrapped around his body, one by one, the huge feet finally hit the living area.
Belbroke’s foot is stamped on the area leading to the western coastal area outside the living quarters, and a shock comes as if the world is turning upside down.
– Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
In this way, half of the western coastal area was taken away by Belbroke.
And… magic power gathers around Belbroke’s mouth. Dozens or hundreds of magic circles formed around the mouth, and an incredibly large amount of magical power was sucked into the center like a black hole.
‘Dragon’s Breath’
is a blow that boasts a power comparable to that of most high-level magic, but from the perspective of the Holy Spear Dragon, Velbrok, it is nothing more or less than simply breathing out magical power.
The result is a disaster.
If it hits a place where people are gathered, there will be hundreds or even thousands of casualties at that point.
Lortel held his breath as he saw the scene.
This Aken Island… there are more people than ever gathered there because of the Crestol Grand Festival.
Every single strike of Belbroke is a massacre. A disaster in which people will die like a flock of ants will begin from now on.
Lortel thinks as he looks at the magic circles gathered in the sky.
This is really dangerous.
-Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa where why?
That was when I had that thought.
There is a wizard who flew into the sky. A girl flies from the top of the Trix Building, puts on her witch’s hat and spreads her hands towards the monster in the sky.
An enormous amount of mana covers the sky of Sylvania, making one wonder if it was created by humans.
A large number of people on Aken Island are watching.
The rarest genius in human history who is said to have never been reborn since Sylvania.
Lucy Mayril… stands in the sky and looks up at Belbroke.
As usual, my blank eyes are nowhere to be seen. Rather, it looks quite serious.
Soon, Belbroke’s dragon’s breath flies towards Sylvania Academy.
Lucy catches her breath… and throws away Belbroke’s dragon breath with her teeth clenched. A collision of magical energy so huge that it felt as if all light and sound in the world disappeared for a moment, covering the sky above Aken Island.
It was a sight that any wizard who had implemented a total of 81 layers of high-level defense magic and 3 layers of highest-level defense magic at once could only look at it with a bewildered expression.
It is not a human, but a huge mass of magical power.
It’s unbelievable what came out of that small body.
However, no matter how Lucy Mayril is, no matter how unstable her opponent, Bellbroke, has not yet completely escaped the influence of the seal and is in an unstable state… as
long as he is human, there are limits.
Lucy, who blocked Belbroke’s breath with all her might… was thrown from the sky to the ground. I couldn’t even block it completely.
Some of the Velbroke’s magic that bounced off fell here and there on Aken Island, causing a huge explosion.
Several buildings in the living area collapsed and the Glokt building in the student center in the teaching building collapsed.
A fire broke out in a corner of the northern forest, and a landslide came down from the impact, causing part of the mountainside to collapse.
Lucy was slammed into the middle of the student plaza, leaving a huge crater. Some students who had not yet been able to evacuate clicked their tongues when they saw the scene.
Lucy Mayril, covered in dust… dusts herself off and stands up. Before I knew it, I picked up the witch’s hat that had fallen down next to me and shook it off. Then, I put on my hat and look up at the sky.
When I looked up at the sky, disaster had arrived.
*After seeing the official letter sent under Obel Forcius’ instructions, the staff at the Trix Building rushed into the conference room with the reports gathered.
However, Obel Forcius, the chief academic officer who was supposed to organize this entire situation, was not present.
Instead, Vice Principal Rachel Theislin was sitting in the principal’s chair.
Principal Rachel, with all her wrinkles… looked at the gathered faculty and staff with her sharp eyes wide open.
“Currently, Principal Obel Forcius is missing.”
Emergency situations require leadership from those responsible more than ever.
However, there are only agents and no top official, Obel. So who on earth wrote this official document?
“Until he shows up… I will temporarily take charge of the bachelor’s response.”
Rachel took a deep breath from the principal’s chair and then exhaled again. There was no time to explain or make excuses.
“Please bring all the reports.”
