Reincarnated Dragon Goes to the Academy!

Chapter 194 : The Prelude to War (7)

The sight of the Escar Mountains, which Hasel had arrived at after hearing his urgent telepathic message, was reminiscent of the apocalypse.

-Kwaaaang!

A huge silver body streaking across the sky.

The breath shot from the wide-open mouth covered the ground.

Doong- doo-doong-

The sound of drums echoing from between the pure white halos of light descending from the sky.

The angels of the demon god Taras were descending, spreading their huge wings.

Whenever the sound of light shattering with a 'clang' was heard, the blessing of the demon god seeped into the bodies of the demons riding on the backs of the wyverns.

[Attack the angels first!]

The demons used the power of magic and artifacts to attack the dragons.

-Kwa-jik! Kwa-ji-jik!

The lightning that had filled the sky began to pour down like crazy.

"Kill the silver one first!"

As a demon gave the order, magic began to rain down on Leadis, who had returned to his original form and was protecting the ground while continuing his attack.

[Not a chance!!!]

Leadis, who had roared loudly towards the sky, turned his body, swinging his tail, and the bodies of the wyverns that had been hit by it plummeted to the ground.

"Uwaaaak!!!"

The demon who had been riding on the back of the wyvern screamed as he fell.

-Thwack! Kwa-deuk!

Lucas, who had aimed for that gap, thrust an ice spear into the demon's torso, and the terrible sound of flesh being pierced was heard.

"Leadis! Watch your back!"

The demons also did not miss the chaotic gap and cast an attack spell on Leadis.

-Kwaaaang! Kwa-jik!

[Kraaak!]

Although he had barely twisted his body and had avoided a fatal wound, Leadis's left wing was half torn and was dangling.

If Lucas had not warned him in advance, his torso would have been pierced.

Doong- doong!

As the angels raised both their hands high, a black aura formed on Leadis's body.

'Damn it!'

It was one of Taras's unique abilities, 'Darkness's Rest'.

All of Leadis's abilities, on which 'Darkness's Rest' had been cast, would now have dropped by half.

He had to protect Leadis. In that state, he would become an easy prey for the demons.

"Leadis!!!"

[K-keuk...]

Leadis's body twisted as if in pain.

At that, Elon, who had been firing magic at the demons and angels from another place, came running like an arrow.

[Leadis!]

Elon's body, which had returned to its original form in an instant, wrapped around Leadis.

"No! Elon!!!"

If this continued, Elon would also be encroached upon by Darkness's Rest.

[Leadis! Get a grip!!!]

Elon, who had wrapped Leadis with both his wings, shouted.

[Kraaaaaak!]

[Leadis!!! K-keuk...]

In the end, a black aura began to form on Elon's body as well.

"Damn it! Amore!!!"

What was needed now was Amore. The dragons, who had never fought together, were continuing a battle that had no efficiency, only their individual combat abilities were outstanding.

On the contrary, the demons' individual combat abilities were much lower, but they were dealing with the dragons strategically.

They had dispersed the dragons' attention so that they could not gather together, and they had maximized their attack power by appropriately utilizing the terrain and artifacts.

And the angels of Taras also did not jump into the battlefield right away, but had first cast buffs and debuffs to raise the combat power of their allies and at the same time lower the combat power of their enemies.

"Get away from Leadis right now!"

Lucas shouted.

-Kwa-ji-jik!

"Keuk!"

Lucas, who had been surprised by the lightning that had fallen at his feet, stepped back.

"That won't do."

A demon smiled faintly at Lucas.

"They said not to kill you. Well."

As if to mark Lucas exclusively, the demon first cast a darkness magic and took away Lucas's vision.

Lucas's hands, who had easily dispelled the darkness magic, formed ice spears.

"Right. Let's fight."

-Kwa-ching! Kwa-kwang!

The demon's sword, which had met Lucas's ice spear.

"Damn it!"

As an unusual aura began to swirl around Lucas's ice spear, the demon, who had noticed it, stepped back greatly.

"I wasn't told not to kill you."

As the Devil's Predator was activated, a holy aura swirled around the ice spear.

"It's no use."

The demon, who had smirked, kicked off the ground again and came running.

"...!?"

The demon's body stopped as if it had been bound by something.

-Thwack! Kwa-deuk!

"Keok..."

The demon's gaze, as he looked down at the ice spear that had pierced his stomach, was dazed.

"I didn't say I would fight in close combat."

Lucas smirked.

Although it was not easy to find and attack the demons who were riding on wyverns or were hiding somewhere using stealth magic, it was an easy task to deal with one demon in front of him.

"You should have gotten a buff."

The demon's body, which had lost its life, collapsed forward.

"Damn it."

Dozens of seconds had already been delayed by dealing with the demon.

In the meantime, Elon's body, which had wrapped around Leadis's body, was mostly encroached upon by Darkness's Rest, and a black light was flickering.

"Amore!!!"

He shouted Amore's name in a loud voice once more.

Doong! Doong! Doo-doo-doong!

Just then, the sky began to rumble.

As the sky opened and Amore's angels began to descend, Taras's angels took a battle stance.

"Hasel!!!"

Lucas shouted Hasel's name. He had not seen Hasel's face since he had first arrived here.

'Where on earth did he go!'

A battlefield without a leader was literally a mess.

The dragons, who were torn apart in all directions, were busy blocking the attacks that were raining down from here and there, as if they were being hunted, and Leadis, who should have been blocking them, had lost his mind and was crazily tearing through the sky.

Elon, who was hugging Leadis, seemed to be in a relatively better situation, but she would also lose her mind soon.

"Hasel!!!"

Lucas shouted Hasel's name once more.

-Kwa-jik!

-Kueeeek!

In the meantime, he had killed countless monsters that were rushing at him.

A swarm of monsters that had covered the vast Escar Mountains and the hundreds of demons that were controlling them.

The dragons, who were struggling among them, had lost their commander to command them.

Lucas thought, looking at the tragic battlefield unfolding before his eyes.

That there might be no chance of winning.

"Lord. Hasel-nim went to save Praiyan with Aellas."

The one who had approached Lucas was Eneb, one of the Silver clan.

"What do you mean by that!"

He went to save Praiyan?

Now was not the time for that. If this continued, they would all die soon.

"Hasel-nim was convinced that the demons were getting mana from the whirlpool where Praiyan was trapped."

"...!"

Lucas's head rang. He had just remembered what the artifact he had seen when he had gone to save Praiyan was.

'A mana extractor.'

He hadn't remembered it when he had faced the object, as his mind had turned hazy due to another curse that had been cast on it.

He didn't know when or who had made it, but that was the name of the artifact.

Only now did he feel that the situation of the battlefield was strange. The demons were pouring out magic without rest.

No matter how many of them there were, it was a strange part. It was an impossible thing with the mana they had.

'Their mana should have been depleted long ago...'

The power of the magic the demons were using had not weakened.

"I will go. I will be back soon, so please take care of this place, Eneb."

"Yes."

Every minute and every second was a critical situation.

And since Hasel's guess was almost certain, it was more important to go and solve Praiyan's problem right away.

-Paaat!

***

Hasel and Aellas were fighting a desperate battle to save Praiyan.

"Aellas! No!"

"It's... okay..."

Hasel, who was reaching out to Aellas, who had jumped into the whirlpool.

"Hasel!"

"Lord! This place is not safe!!!"

Hasel, who had seen Lucas, shouted.

"Move aside. I know a way."

At that, Hasel quickly stepped back.

"Aellas! Come out right now!"

Aellas, who had heard Lucas's shout, released her strength and was thrown out of the whirlpool.

"Keok! Keok!"

As a mouthful of blackish-red blood poured out of Aellas's mouth, Hasel approached and cast a healing spell.

'There must be three.'

There must be two more besides the one he had seen last time. What was needed to destroy them was surprisingly simple.

To temporarily replace the mana that the mana extractor was extracting with something else.

"Hasel. When I give the signal, inject mana into the whirlpool."

"Yes, Lord."

"Aellas. Even if it's hard, watch the situation and share your mana with Hasel."

"I understand."

Lucas took a short breath and then dived into the water.

At that, the three mana extractors, which had been hidden by the high waves and had not been clearly visible, were faintly visible.

[Now.]

Lucas used a telepathic message to give Hasel a signal.

-Saaaaaa

At that, the target of the mana extractor, which had been extracting Praiyan's mana, was temporarily changed to Hasel's mana.

Lucas gathered a lot of mana in his hand and aimed at one of the mana extractors.

-Pish! Poong!

As the sharp sound of the mana cutting through the water passed, one of the mana extractors exploded.

-Pish! Poong!

Lucas, who had quickly exploded one more, aimed at the last one.

-Pish! Poong!

He had cleanly blown up the last one as well. If Hasel had not injected mana, Praiyan would also have been hit at the same time as the mana extractor was destroyed.

Lucas, who had shot up above the water, let out the breath he had been holding.

"Hah... hah..."

"Lord! Are you okay?"

Hasel came running.

If Hasel, not Lucas, had gone in to destroy the mana extractor, he might have been hit by a curse he didn't even know.

The situation of Lucas, who at least had Amore's relic, was much better.

"Praiyan! Praiyan!!!"

Aellas shouted, holding Praiyan's head.

"Get a grip! Huh? Hey! Praiyan!"

Praiyan's life force, who had lost consciousness, was faint.

"Aellas. Move aside for a moment."

Lucas approached Praiyan.

'Her mana is too low.'

If he had been a little later, Praiyan would have died. The mana left in her dragon heart was very faint.

-Saaaaaa...

Lucas injected his own mana into Praiyan.

Praiyan's silver scales, which had lost their vitality as her life force was fading, were slowly regaining their light.

-Saaaaaa...

Lucas did not stop. Since he had an abundance of mana, it was important to make Praiyan's mana full again.

"Aellas. Move Praiyan to a safe place."

Lucas said, feeling that Praiyan's body was filled with a certain amount of mana.

"Yes."

"Hasel. Go back to Escar right now."

"Then what about you, Lord..."

Hasel looked at Lucas.

"Of course I will go with you."

It was a matter of course. Now that he had saved Praiyan, it was no different from the fact that they had lost their source of mana.

"We have to go back now and seize the upper hand."

Hasel nodded his head.

-Kurururung...

Just then, the sea began to boil.

"...!?"

"Aellas. Leave right now!"

As Lucas shouted urgently, Aellas disappeared with Praiyan.

-Kuo-oh-oh-oh...

A whirlpool began to form in the boiling sea.

Lucas thought. Whether it would be better to leave this place right now, or if he should deal with the bastard things that might have trapped Praiyan.

'It could be the god of the sea.'

A fleeting moment before he could even finish his thought.

The sea opened, and the opponent was revealed.
