52 – Mine, Mephisto (3)

Read at readwn.com

Jjoong-

As Reina’s magic is activated, her vision flashes.

It was the vision blocking magic I mentioned earlier.

As if a flash grenade exploded, everything in front of my eyes turned white with a beeping sound.

Picking up my attitude, I immediately approached Mephisto at close range and swung the red sphere that was growing in size to cut it in two.

Since there was no way to subdue Mephisto at once anyway, it was to destroy even that magic.

A blunt and grotesque sound of hitting metal with a hammer is heard, and a shockwave is instantaneously created.

“―.―.”

In response, Mephisto kicks the floor and steps back.

Then, looking at the colorless mass of spheres, he spoke to me.

“You were aiming for this.”

“Because it is dangerous.”

I was able to make fine cracks in the sphere that was stained red.

With this, you won’t be able to use the magic you’ve been preparing for a long time.

I thought it would be just a regular sword, but this attitude was stronger than I thought.

It looks very ordinary.

Mephisto’s head tilted.

He looks at Bella, Reina, Elaine, and Siegfried, including me, and raises his hands.

“I had no idea there would be this many people. This part is different from what I expected.”

“I guess so.”

Because Altane, which shouldn’t exist, is here.

Existence itself would be out of specification.

“And even if the magic is destroyed, I can deal with all of you. It’s not because I’m not a Mine.”

“That would be it too. So that’s what you do.”

“But I think it’s unreasonable for so many people to deal with one person.”

Suddenly, Mephisto raised his hand.

Then, move your hand from top to bottom.

“Muh, what!”

“Instructor, the spectators!”

“Count!”

When Mephisto beckoned, a transparent curtain covered the gymnasium and the audience,

And it was created as if blocking me and my companions.

I, who was at the forefront of the transparent barrier that appeared in an instant, was separated from everyone and remained in the same area as Mephisto.

I couldn’t hear Elaine shouting something as she slammed the wall from the other side, probably because the noise was blocked out.

Seeing this, Mephisto’s small laugh is heard.

“How are you? Would that be fair?”

“You are talking bullshit.”

How can I catch a boss, and a guy who gets caught only in the mid-to-late half?

‘It sucks.’

The situation is worse than ever.

“Then would you like to continue?”

Seeing Mephisto speaking as if he had moved into Phase 2, I corrected my posture.

Even if you get caught in the tiger’s den, you just have to be alert.

Even if the current situation is worse than that, there must be a limit to him. In the original game, the boss that appears at the beginning has a defect somewhere.

Hold on as long as you can and wait for the instructors to arrive.

Or wait outside for Bella to break the wall. It’s the best you can do at this point.

The magic was canceled anyway, and the initial victims didn’t come out.

‘Focusing on avoidance rather than fighting-‘

ugh-

Suddenly, a magic circle appeared under my feet.

‘Fuck!’

I immediately threw myself to the side and evaded the fireball flying from the front with another side stomp.

Jjeook-

The floor I was on a moment ago collapsed.

“Let’s step up step by step.”

At the same time as those words, a red spear began to fly violently.

I twist my body to avoid it, and it changes direction and flies away again.

I braced my attitude, struck back, and took a step back.

Before I knew it, dozens of spears created behind Mephisto were aiming at me.

Magic circles were activated all over the floor of the gymnasium, and they all blocked the distance between me and Mephisto.

If you move rashly, your body will be pierced by dozens of flying spears.

Turning around slightly, I see Reina, Elaine, and Bella, who is working some kind of magic.

Kkang-

Every time I hit the flying spear, my hand went numb.

Mephisto throws the spears one by one with a bad laugh.

Like a conductor directing an orchestra, he waves his hands here and there.

“What a bad taste.”

“Because I like this.”

Once again, the red window flooded.

This time, Mephisto was also with them.

After hitting the spear with all my strength, I lowered my attitude toward Mephisto, who was approaching me.

The blade, which cuts like flowing water without any hindrance, naturally had no taste in the hand.

Mephisto’s Shinyoung disappeared like smoke as soon as his attitude touched him.

It was a stealth technique that also appeared in the game.

“Kuk!”

Immediately after the alter ego disappeared, Mephisto appeared and brandished a spear.

At the same time, three or four red spears were fired again.

In the process of getting the spear and cutting out the rest, his side was scratched.

Mephisto’s expression fills with joy as he sees my uniform slowly turning red.

“blood! hahahaha! You’ve been bleeding. Doesn’t it sting?”

“It doesn’t seem normal.”

“That’s right. Shouldn’t you be getting treatment? Come here. We will treat you.”

“No, you are not normal.”

If I hesitate any longer, I don’t think my body will remain.

Even for a moment, if he doesn’t mean it, he has to get rid of it.

‘Ishtar!’

Pouring all remaining mana into his attitude, he called Ishtar.

“Bae, Count!”

“This… wall?”

It was the moment when he and Lian separated as a transparent wall was built by Mephisto.

“range… It’s a wall that physically blocks it.”

The transparent yet intermittently visible red thread passing through the walls was installed to accurately divide the arena into three zones.

gymnasium and spectators,

Halfway through the gymnasium again.

The arrangement of the walls seems to be intended to completely block outside interference.

Bella put her chin on her chin and looked over the wall.

I can’t hear anything from Lian and Mephisto, who are talking about something, whether or not even the noise is blocked.

thump-

Siegfried tried to hit the wall with his scabbard, but there was no jaw.

“Is this too hard?”

“Instructor, is there any way to cancel it?”

“… If this continues, the Count is in danger!”

Letting go of the sound she heard, Bella slowly closed her eyes.

It is impossible to permanently cast such a wide range of magic.

If so, why did the demon identified as Mephisto perform this magic?

Bella’s head slowly tilted while pondering.

To think of this, I had to know the purpose of the mine in the first place.

I tried to break the ceiling of the gymnasium and break in and shoot magic.

Fortunately, Lian stopped this, but the person is now trapped there.

thud.

“Oh, no. Count!”

I heard Elaine’s scream.

Inside the wall, Lian and Mephisto were fighting.

Dozens of windows of light suddenly appeared and Lian was in a hurry to escape by bouncing them off.

“Eh, Miss Elaine! It’s dangerous to get close!”

“The Count is in danger!”

Elaine calls for Lian while hitting the wall with her bare hands, and Raina and Siegfried stop it.

Bella looked toward the entrance of the gymnasium.

There, students in the stands were evacuating one after another.

At this rate, rumors will soon leak outside the academy.

Seeing as there was no news for over ten minutes, it seemed that Mephisto’s existence was still unknown.

Otherwise, there’s no way that monstrous Adelie wouldn’t make a comeback.

Somehow, she had to hold out until she and the other instructors returned.

Bella reached out.

It was to make a gap in the barrier that was firmly blocking the front.

One of the reasons Bella was able to belong to the Imperial Knights, including her skill, enchantment, was in magic.

For Bella, who is superior to most wizards in terms of both the total amount of mana and the power of magic, making a hole in the wall, even for a moment, was not a task.

Concentrating his consciousness, he concentrated mana on the tip of his outstretched thumb.

Then, he puts his finger on the wall where the ominous energy shimmers and slowly draws a magic circle.

The method she chose was to build another wall.

Creating another wall so that it overlaps in the place where the wall was created, so that the barriers that collide with each other cannot withstand it and are destroyed.

This is what Bella was aiming for.

Bella drew a magic circle and pointed to the front of the wall with a wink at Siegfried.

It was a call to get ready to go in.

“All right.”

“Student Lian will absolutely have a hard time alone. Go in first and keep it as far away from the entrance as possible.”

While speaking, red spears started pouring down on Lian.

Rian was bouncing back and forth while deflecting it with one sword.

Then, just barely, a spear grazed his side.

A scream was heard from Elaine, who was watching.

“Oh, no! Instructor, please let me go in!”

With a thump, dozens of spears hit the wall where the party was.

Lian avoids the flying fireball and immediately shares the sum with Mephisto.

At the same time, Bella’s hand that was drawing the magic circle stopped.

“I will use magic. Everyone back off.”

The magic was activated with a brief warning.

As expected, Bella’s wall and Mephisto’s wall, which had collided in the same space, pushed each other away and started fighting.

“… .”

Rayna’s eyes were filled with nervousness as she watched this.

For some reason, I couldn’t keep still from the moment Lian’s side was stained with blood.

Reina grabbed both shoulders of Elaine, who was about to jump out at any moment, but her eyes were fixed on Lian, who was rolling around on the floor of the gymnasium.

The hand that grasped Elaine’s shoulder trembled every time a red spear brushed against him.

Seeing this, Elaine grabs Reina’s hand with a worried tone.

“Laina-san, are you okay… ?”

“… It’s okay.”

“But the hand—”

“Is Miss Elaine okay?”

“… .”

In an instant, silence came between the two.

Even as they both said that, their eyes were on Ryan.

I could tell that it wasn’t okay just by pretending.

It was then.

“What, what is that?”

Siegfried’s panicked voice was heard.

Soon, Bella, Reina, and Elaine, who were using magic, could clearly see it.

“What the hell is that… .”

A dark aura that began to flow from Lian, who was in a confrontation with Mephisto.
