Reincarnated Dragon Goes to the Academy!

Chapter 218 : Sacrifice (1)

The war, which had been like a storm, was finally coming to an end.

The Demon King was dead, and the Demon God had also been annihilated.

Now all that was left was for the demons to safely move to the demon world and to punish the traitors.

"Vadim-nim."

Lucas stood next to Vadim, who was still in the lair, eating pumpkin pie.

"Oh. Lucas."

The pie crumbs stuck to Vadim's mouth represented his happy mood.

"I would like you to help me with one last thing."

"Right. What is it?"

Vadim did not stop eating the pie even while talking to Lucas.

'...Is it that delicious?'

Lucas, who was watching him, also swallowed hard at the sight of Vadim eating so deliciously that he felt the urge to have a bite himself, and then continued.

"Can you help me find the disappeared Sirens?"

"Sirens?"

"Yes."

"If they are the same as the Sirens I know, do they also live in the water?"

"Yes."

It seemed that there were also Sirens in the world he had lived in.

"In the river?"

"No. The sea."

Although it was a little different.

"Hmm. The sea must be quite wide."

Vadim put down the piece of pie he was holding and dusted off his hands.

"Do you know where they are?"

"Yes. I do."

"Then that's a relief. Because it will be a little easier. But since they are people who have hidden themselves with a purpose, it might be a little difficult to find them."

At that, Lucas opened his subspace and took out a crystal ball and handed it to him.

"Hmm?"

"I had one last contact with the person who was staying there. It was entangled with a strong security spell, so I couldn't undo it, but I thought Vadim-nim might be able to."

It was the person who had told him about Agua and Giestio's scheme last time.

'I've lost contact since then... but maybe.'

Since it was a contact that had come after they had disappeared from their original residence, he might be able to find them.

"Oh. Right. I'll take a look."

Vadim, who had received the crystal ball, began to undo the spell with a serious expression.

"Hmm..."

As Vadim's brow furrowed, Lucas also furrowed his brow.

'Is it not working well?'

Vadim, who had let out a deep sigh, put the crystal ball down on the table and opened his mouth.

"I now know what your level is."

"...?"

Lucas could not hide his surprised expression as he looked at the numbers floating in the air.

"Tsk. To think you can't even undo this."

It was a formula that Lucas had struggled with for a long time. No matter how many times he had twisted it, there was no end to it, but for some reason, Vadim had undone the formula in less than five minutes.

"...You're amazing."

In fact, the word 'amazing' was a little insufficient.

"Tsk-tsk."

At the same time, as Vadim had said, he could feel what his level was.

'How much have they developed?'

Although he had lived as the strongest creature on the surface, all those years felt like an illusion.

And it was also futile.

'We are nothing.'

It felt as if he had seen another sky above the sky.

"What are you doing?"

Vadim gestured with his chin, looking at Lucas.

"Without going right away."

"Ah."

As Vadim said, as if he were whispering, a gate that emitted a white light was created in front of him.

"You don't use teleportation."

He was curious as to why he had opened a gate.

"That's not a complete method of movement. Look."

Vadim pointed at the gate.

"You can check the situation ahead, can't you?"

The gate was showing the situation on the other side as if a door were open.

"...I see."

Lucas let out a cry of admiration at the magic that had developed one step further.

"Let's go."

Vadim took the lead and walked into the gate.

***

"Haha! What a radical young lady!"

The black whirlwind that had engulfed Pamela's body was gradually gaining strength.

"I told you I'd kill you."

Despite Pamela's transparent anger, Giestio just had a smiling face, as if he were enjoying it.

"Calm down. You know better than anyone that there's no good in running wild here, don't you?"

Giestio's words were right. This was where Giestio lived, and it was the kingdom of the Sirens where he reigned as king.

Pamela was not unaware that it was not good to run wild in such a place.

"So say it. That you won't touch him."

But what was important now was not her own life.

Her younger sister Pola's life was being threatened.

'I can't just be threatened by that cunning bastard.'

Giestio reached out one hand and picked up the spear placed next to him.

"Pamela-yang."

"..."

"You should also know well that you are not an important person to me."

A blue aura began to emanate from Giestio's spear.

"And there's no need to use my strength to deal with you."

Pamela's aura, which had been flickering as if it would attack Giestio at any moment, subsided a little.

"You are a smart young lady, aren't you? So think carefully."

An alarm bell rang in Pamela's head.

'Think, Pamela.'

She whipped herself, telling herself to think of the best way.

'Because Pola's life is in danger. For now...'

Pamela's strength subsided a little more.

"Right. Right. You've thought well."

At that, Giestio gradually suppressed the aura that had been on his spear.

"...Leave my sister alone."

"Oh! Of course."

"Can I trust you?"

She thought that this was the only way for now.

No matter how much power the Demon King had left her, the probability of being able to defeat Giestio was too low.

And it was even more so for Pamela, who had never fought properly with anyone.

"Of course."

Giestio answered, still holding the spear tightly in his hand.

'It's nothing.'

The sight of Pamela trying to deceive him was quite amusing at first, so he had left her alone, but now he was tired of it.

If it weren't for that, he would have watched to see how long Pamela would deceive him, but he wanted to test her once.

How she would react if he touched her weakest point.

"Because I have nothing to gain by harming your sister."

"..."

"So it's better to stop the impertinent act of deceiving me now, Pamela-yang."

Pamela bit her lip in frustration and bowed her head.

Just then, the door opened with a 'bang' sound.

"Giestio-nim!"

A Siren came in, opening the door with an urgent expression.

"It's an intruder."

At those words, Giestio readjusted his grip on the spear and smiled faintly at Pamela.

"...It seems another interesting thing is happening."

***

The Sirens who had combat power were already confronting Lucas outside.

"How dare you..."

Every time Lucas's anger erupted, the cold seawater became even colder, and the water that had begun to freeze in various places bound their movements.

"Where is Giestio?"

He wanted to prevent any more unnecessary sacrifices.

"Get back right now!"

The Siren, who had seen the water that had begun to freeze at his feet, shouted, wagging his tail quickly.

"Giestio-nim is not here!"

They also did not attack Lucas first, as if they wanted to avoid a fight somehow.

"How funny."

Behind them was a completely moved territory, and a transparent protection barrier was firmly defending their territory.

"So please get back!"

A Siren shouted in a sharp voice.

"Hey, Lucas."

Vadim, who had been watching that, quietly called Lucas.

"Can't you just break that place?"

"I can't do that."

Although Lucas also wanted to do that, the dwarves who were staying there were the problem.

"There are people I have to protect there."

"Hmm... from what you said, it seems that a person named Giestio is a person who would not hesitate to take them hostage."

Lucas nodded his head.

It was a problem he had anticipated.

"Bring Giestio. Otherwise, I'll kill you all."

This was sincere. He was at his limit of confronting them.

"Then we have no choice but to attack you."

The dozens of Sirens who had blocked Lucas's front began to chant a spell.

'They are also warriors.'

They were people who had lived in the sea for a long time and had repeated their training.

Since they were skilled in both spirit arts and magic, it would not be an easy thing to deal with all of them.

"Then I have no choice either."

A white sphere formed in both of Lucas's hands.

"I thought any more sacrifices were unnecessary..."

-Go-oh-oh-oh-oh.

As a strong whirlwind arose from the spheres that had formed in both his hands, the Sirens flinched.

"I have no choice but to accept the sacrifice."

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!

At the same time, the Sirens also finished their spell chanting.

-Kwa-ah-ang!

At that, Lucas's and the Sirens' magic clashed, causing a huge explosion.

"Hahaha! To think you would come like this. You are truly amazing."

A voice that rang out loudly as soon as the explosion ended.

"Giestio."

His bright laughter was enough to give him goosebumps.

"This is! To meet like this. Isn't this also fate?"

He let out a hollow laugh at his shameless attitude.

"I'll kill you."

Any more conversation was unnecessary.

A huge vortex of mana began to rise from Lucas's body.

Since Vadim, who was standing next to him, had enough power to protect himself, there was no need to adjust the intensity of the attack.

-Jjeo-jeok. Jjeo-jeo-jeok!

The seawater that had begun to freeze from the bottom quickly spread and shot towards Giestio.

-Kwa-jijijik! Kwa-jik!

The ice pieces that had been blocked in front of Giestio broke and scattered.

-Jjeo-jeo-jeok!

The ice pieces that had broken and scattered spread again and froze everything around Giestio.

"You have truly amazing skills."

Giestio, who was trapped in the ice, moved his mouth.

"Shut up."

Lucas concentrated his power on the ice pieces that had surrounded Giestio.

"Haha! If I die, the people inside will not be safe."

Giestio's bright voice echoed from within the ice.

"..."

He had thought that he had been obediently defeated without any resistance.

"Pamela. That wench is also here. If I die, that wench Pamela, along with the dwarves inside, will be my companions."

"Hey. You bastard who's not good enough even if I chew you up."

As a rough curse came out of Lucas's mouth, Vadim's eyes, who was standing next to him, widened.

"Haha! Your mouth is foul."

"Didn't I tell you?"

"...?"

"That I would kill you in the most painful way I know."

One corner of Lucas's mouth, as he slowly approached Giestio, curled up.

"I have lived for five thousand years under the name of a race of promise."

-Kwa-kwa-kwang!

The Sirens who had been blocking Lucas were instantly sent flying and were thrown away.

"K-keuk!"

Giestio's face contorted at the unfamiliar pain he had never experienced before.

"It's a pity for them..."

"Keo-eok!"

"Isn't it something that can't be helped?"
