Academy Light Attribute Vampire

67 – Before the Storm

The next morning.

“A lot is a lot.”

After breakfast,

Before the maintenance of the expedition was over, a small number of people went out to reconnaissance toward the entrance of the World Tree.

“How is it? Elena, do you feel something?”

Nod.

The composition of the reconnaissance group consisted of a total of 4 members, including the vice-captain Sir Elint, Veronica, and me and Elena.

Last night,

I took Elena to the conference room and asked for Elena and me to join the expedition.

Of course, I, who showed my skills by sparring with Sir Hind and rescuing Elena, welcomed me with open arms, but

The knights didn’t like Elena’s entry into the expedition.

To be honest, it would have been difficult without Elgrid’s support.

Sir Elint, who was present at the time, also actively agreed to Elena’s joining.

“… Something is connected to the monsters, like a thin thread…”

Thread?

Veronica frowned at Elena’s words and looked towards the monster with mana in her eyes.

“Silly. … I can’t see it either.”

“… I can’t even see it.”

“About that…”

“I know. We, the Knights of the Leaves of the World Tree, have decided to trust Miss Elena’s words.”

“I see quite a few advanced monsters.”

At this level, it would take quite some time, but it was not at a level that the Knights’ troops could not deal with.

“…Yes. But at that level, I will be able to organize things with the captain while the knights are tied up.”

“Because I am too.”

“I see. Miss Veronica will be able to deal with it more easily if we are together.”

Of course, the medical forces visible to the naked eye may not be all.

The elves did not immediately dispatch knights in preparation for this,

It was decided to cooperate with the high elves to form an expedition.

Then all that’s left is…

“How are your preparations now?”

“Anyway, since we started in a hurry the day before, the High Elves’ support is a bit delayed… But I think we’ll be able to leave around 4:00 PM.”

‘It’s 4pm…’

… The time is a little ambiguous, but it’s okay, right?

‘Well, Elena and I are aiming to capture Siriel anyway…’

As for the army of monsters, the knights will do something about it.

By the way.

“What the hell is that?”

I still don’t know why they’re hiding in the World Tree.

‘No way…’

Is it because of Leah?

What if, because of my intervention, the main sword sprite was stolen and you are looking for it?

If so…

‘… I couldn’t find it no matter how much I searched.’

At that time.

– Flutter.

A little away from the entrance of the World Tree,

A monster with huge eyeball-shaped wings flying high in the sky was looking this way.

“It’s Evil Eye.”

“…Reconnaissance.”

Evil Eye staring at us with bloodshot red eyes.

‘… It seems that the other side is also conscious of the expedition.’

Elena opened her mouth, frowning at the visual that aroused her physiological disgust.

“I feel bad…”

“… I’ll take care of it.”

-Pajijik!

-Keee!!

Evileye, charred by Veronica’s lightning magic,

It’s hard and falls down among the monsters.

“Let’s go back.”

“Yes. I’d better get ready as soon as possible.”

Near the Ranger Dormitory next to the World Tree,

The expedition moved to the hastily made temporary camp.

**

-Keee!!

-Kururu.

At the same time that Evil Eye was struck by lightning magic,

Buri Mi, who was watching the situation from inside the World Tree, clicked her tongue.

Sheesh.

“Veronica Elint. And… I see your little sister.”

“…”

“It looks like he participated in the expedition… Will it be okay? No matter how bloody he is.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Huh… Well. Loyalty is certain.”

The two of them are too relaxed compared to the situation.

Leeden, who hadn’t heard it, began to speak quietly next to him.

“… It will be all we can do to hold on. If all the Knights of the Leaf of the World Tree are mobilized, it could be penetrated faster.”

“You really think the puppies outside will be my everything? At least you can last a day.”

“What are you going to do after you survive the day?”

Riden was just frustrated with this situation.

She started coping in Elfheim now.

A woman named ‘Burimi’, an executive who came to support from Dimension, only looked like an extremely lazy person,

Because even Captain Siliel, whom she trusted, just stood by and watched the situation.

“To be impatient.”

Drowling.

-Greuk…

The figure of Burimi lying on top of her unknown monster like a bed and rolling over her body.

“… I have trouble digesting it.”

“Maybe it’s because I’m lying down.”

“Don’t digest that.”

Ssiik-

The corner of Burimi’s mouth goes up to a grotesque level.

“… Lucky me. I couldn’t believe there were three.”

Of course, the splendid fairy, which was the organization’s goal, suddenly disappeared…

‘It must be the work of that dark-haired kid.’

With a sudden explosion of light, he disappeared along with the vampire kid,

If I kill him, it will work somehow.

“It seems like they crawled in on their own.”

A kid who clung to Veronica’s side when scouting with Evil Eye.

It seems to have a strange power to suddenly enter the World Tree and then disappear…

‘I won’t miss it this time.’

Haaa-

He exhales a large exhalation filled with joy.

…Everything is going ideally.

I found 3 of those hard-to-find fairies and succeeded in devouring the weakest one on the spot.

Thanks to the elves who are famous for being unnecessarily prudent, I succeeded in buying time to absorb the power of the fairies.

“With this… I can get one step closer to ‘him’…!”

A life saver and an object of envy.

Become a little stronger,

It won’t be long before you’ll be favored by him than that damn b*tch.

“And…”

Sug-

I stretched my arms out and stroked the skin inside the World Tree.

“If it’s weakened this much… The moment all the power is absorbed…!”

Just thinking about it is thrilling.

If you take away the pride of the elves, the ‘World Tree’,

How will he react?

“Hee hee… Hee hee hee hee..!!”

The plan is perfect.

Of course, Liden, who had no way of knowing this, was sending contemptuous eyes as if he was watching her crazy b*tch from afar.

‘…A cheeky bastard.’

To think I was treated like that when I was just entering the organization.

Once the work is roughly finished, I will have to kill that guy first.

On the contrary.

“…”

An elf woman placidly sitting astride her epidermis with her eyes closed.

‘Did you say Siliel?’

That b*tch looks a bit useful.

As well as the power you have,

Because he has not been ‘baptized’ yet, he has enough potential.

More than anything else, I like his attitude.

“…Whatever.”

When are you coming?

– A smirk.

I have never felt so good except for the first time I was recognized by him and selected for the ‘succession ceremony’.

After that, for a while, the sound of women’s laughter did not stop inside the World Tree.

**

“Ready!!”

“…Are you here?”

At some point, dozens of wagons were lined up in the temporary headquarters, each with a dazzling engraving.

“… Mahav’s auto-defense artifact and the guardian knight, Sir Rigdi. I am confident.”

Guard knights and knights armed with various artifacts brought from their home.

Chuck.

About 50 people are gathered in a small temporary camp,

The camp seemed cramped.

“Wizard troops?”

“Yes. 8 Wizards made up entirely of high elves have gathered.”

No matter what,

For magicians, a small number of elites are much more efficient.

A performance that can only come out when 10 low-level wizards gather,

Because one high-ranking wizard could have done it more simply.

“… But, wouldn’t that be a problem that could be solved by just shooting magic from a distance? There was no reaction even to the headmaster’s lightning magic.”

“It’s not easy to specify the exact range for a large magic with a wide range. If you don’t, it could damage the World Tree.”

Ah.

I’m worried about the destruction of the World Tree as I wipe it out with large-scale magic,

But to deal with it with the containment magic means that time is infinitely short.

“… Then.”

“The main role of the wizard unit is to assist in battle and provide buffs and heals to the knights.”

…Well.

If you throw a fireball and the world tree catches fire, it’s a big accident.

Of course, as the name is the world tree,

I won’t say it burns to ashes, but…

“… I’m tired.”

I have to worry about the condition of the world tree even in the midst of this,

In the first place, wouldn’t it be nice to sweep the yard with a big hole in it?

I wonder if Veronica read my thoughts like this,

He smiled bitterly with a troubled expression and opened his mouth to me.

“…Isn’t it a sacred thing of a country, the world tree is just as precious to the elves.”

“Yes, but…”

“As of now, it has only been decided to do so, so the commander of the knights will change the method at his discretion in the field.”

‘…Well.’

If you hadn’t considered the state of the World Tree in the first place,

If I had turned the area around the World Tree into a sea of fire by now, wouldn’t I have slain all the monsters?

-Prepare to advance!

Looking at the clock, it was 4:13 PM.

It’s roughly the same as the time we decided to leave.

Let’s see, then take Elena…

-… Please.

?

On the outskirts, slightly away from the expedition.

Elena opened her mouth as she stared into the void.

‘Oh.’

You’re talking to Annis-nim.

I couldn’t see Anis-sama, perhaps because of the angle of the tent.

From noble mtl dot com

I quietly approached the alley and opened my mouth to inform Elena of her departure.

“Helena. I’m ready.”

“So really this time… Huh?! What?”

“They said they’d be leaving soon. You were with Anis-sama.”

As she entered the alley,

The figure of a fiery fairy with a slightly complicated expression began to appear.

“Ah. Yes..! Let’s go!”

Starting with Elena creeping towards me, She

She moved her steps forward, step by step, in the long procession.

“… Are you here?”

As much as she entered the expedition under the condition of a special ‘sight’.

Elena and I decided to lead the expedition.

“… Let’s go.”

Beside the leader and vice-leader of the leaves of the world tree.

The trembling in Elena’s shoulders is transmitted to me.

It’s hard.

Let’s quietly put our hand on her shoulder.

Startled, Elena turned her head away and met her eyes with mine.

Soon she nodded her head with a spirited expression.

“…Let’s go.”

– Chuck.

Finally,

The expedition to recapture the World Tree has begun.
