70 – Clash (1)

-Gaaa!!

-Gruaa!!

New double gates in dark red.

When entering the tentatively named ‘Lycahn Slope Gate’.

Karin realized something was terribly wrong.

Even if it is a special gate where lycanthropes reside, it is standard to follow the basic dungeon structure.

Entering the entrance, dealing with traps, monsters, or demons along the way, and reaching the master room or core residence.

All special gates and dungeons follow this strategy structure.

However, the current situation was very strange.

Originally, the entrance of the dungeon, which should have been empty, was filled with dozens of lycanthropes, and the screaming howl I heard while hunting one earlier burst out here and there.

And that wasn’t all.

There were people who looked like humans, not lycanthropes, and they were preparing large-scale magic with concentration.

massive magic.

Yes.

Those demons in human form were preparing a massive attack magic for the raid party that had just entered the dungeon.

like… As if waiting for a party.

“vampire! I’m a vampire, party leader! Vampires are preparing a large-scale magic!”

“what?”

The ranger in charge of the search in the lead, Professor Python urgently shouted.

All party members, including the party leader, were taken aback by that cry that crossed the chaos.

Vampire clan, Vampires.

During the day, I take out my heart and pretend to be a human being.

A vicious demon that sucks the blood of the powerless at night.

Why did the name of the demon who lives like a rat die among humans come from here?

-Gaaa!!

However, the opponent did not give me a chance to think.

The Vampires’ preparations for attack magic were almost finished, and the Lycanthrope was poised to show off its strength at any time after a large-scale attack.

It was very different from his usual appearance, which only made animal-like noises and seemed completely devoid of intelligence.

It was a thoroughly strategic move.

“mi… friend.”

Karin bit her lip.

trap.

This was an obvious trap.

A vampire killing squad formed by Ludgale Liquid.

Vampires who ran away and hid behind the backs of those meticulous warriors, but they also left a room to strike back at humans.

‘How on earth?’

After hearing the general circumstances for this operation, Karin had doubts.

Obviously, there was no room for vampires to intervene.

As soon as the lycanthrope was discovered, the Red Wolf Gate was closed, and only the head of the academy, the imperial family, and members of the Guard Knights were put into this operation.

It was safe to say that there was no way for vampires to intervene in these groups known for their strictest oaths of secrecy.

… Unless there are spies.

“professor!”

At that time, Sachere’s voice woke the party members who couldn’t move in panic.

At the same time as he shouted, he took out two transparent stones that showed brilliant light from his magic bag.

It was [Dispel Stone].

‘What is that… ?’

It was an innovative magic tool that destroyed the existing common sense in the alchemy or magic world, but Karin, who was not very interested in other fields than swordsmanship, was the first to see it.

But Sacher wasn’t the only one who brought it out.

Professor Lafury Meline heard his cry for the first time.

And three professors from the Faculty of Magic, including her.

The [Dispel Stone] was also held in the hands of the four of them.

A fatal flaw of the [Dispel Stone], whose efficiency is much lower than its performance.

In order to compensate for this as much as possible, magic tools were separately entrusted to the Faculty of Magic and the Faculty of Alchemy, who had the best mana response and management abilities.

At the time of the first discovery of the lycanthrope, Sacher was severely injured due to lack of preparation and carelessness.

He had already secretly prepared for an unexpected turn of events.

Even he wouldn’t have thought that it would be the vampire’s fire support.

The five warriors who have completed their magic input…

With all my strength, I threw a [Dispel Stone] at the magic casting point.

Caen- Caen-

With the unpleasant sound of stones colliding, the space that had been shimmering with magical energy became quiet.

In a dungeon that was vibrating endlessly as if an explosion was about to happen,

An unbelievable silence came.

Then, it was the vampires who were embarrassed this time.

All of them were in a state of bewilderment at the sudden ‘mana deleting phenomenon’.

Surprised, he didn’t even have time to order the lycanthrope to attack.

“Suppression complete! All of the vampires’ large-scale attack magic has been canceled!”

Professor Python once again reported the situation.

It was amazing.

A few stones in the hands of the five were thrown all over the place, and soon all the magic the vampire was preparing in advance was deleted.

The [Dispel Stone], which has a certain effect even if its efficiency drops, and the academy faculty who can raise its efficiency to the limit.

A fantastic counterattack created by the merging of two opposite elements.

‘Sacher… amazing.’

I couldn’t help but feel admiration.

In the carriage, he was exchanging jokes and conversing comfortably, but in the back he was fully prepared.

To be able to respond immediately to any variable

And that prediction turned out to be right.

-Gaaa!!

The silence was only fleeting.

The Vampires, who confirmed that their large-scale magic was in vain, quickly accepted the situation and immediately ordered the Lycanthrope to attack.

Originally, vampires and lycanthropes were the same intermediate level demons and were not in a position to give instructions to each other, but now that they had a common enemy called humans, they were all of one mind.

The giant lycanthropes began to rush at them, boasting a speed that did not match their size.

“All knights forward! Long-distance support, including magic, to the rear! Rangers escort you! to position!”

““To the location!!””

At the words of the head of the party, Darren Stud, all the party members quickly responded and took their positions.

Karin also tried to run forward in line with the movement.

But then.

“die… !!”

“Dirty human bastards!!”

A sudden attack came from the rear, which was supposed to be safe.

Karin, who was completely defenseless in the back, also allowed the sword attack to sever her head without hesitation.

‘what… !!’

Am I going to die like this?

A fleeting thought that comes to mind at the moment of death.

As if completely denying the absurd notion,

A mysterious energy wrapped around Karin’s head, blocking the blow.

I thought I was taken by surprise,

I felt no pain in my head.

Karin quickly found the reason.

‘Tarnhelm!’

Inside the wagon from before.

One of the two items Sacher gave you.

It was [Tarnhelm], an ancient artifact that was received as a reward for winning the <Academy Coliseum>.

[Tarnhelm]

-Type: Helm

-The one and only magic helmet said to have been used by the king of an ancient kingdom. It has solid durability and defense that can protect the wearer from fatal blows.

-The form changes according to the size of the wearer’s head.

-When worn, it is practically invisible and gives a comfortable fit as if nothing was worn.

-Can use special magic [Stealth] once a day for 10 minutes. It can be used by injecting the wearer’s magic into the helmet’s magic circuit.

It is a magic armor that has various effects, including enchanted [stealth] magic, but the most important information was recorded in the first line of emotional information.

Solid durability and defensive power that can protect the wearer from fatal blows.

This was the most important emotional information for [Tarnhelm].

The helmet itself was cracked and ruined by the surprise attack filled with magical power.

However, [Tarnhelm]’s strong defensive power prevented the fatal blow, eventually saving Karin’s life.

Once from the poisoning of Venom Arcus.

Once from an unknown surprise attack.

Karin had already owed Sacher her life twice.

“no… Why is this?”

A panicked voice came from the opponent who launched the surprise attack.

Karin raised her head to check her face.

‘lakh?’

He was the motive for joining the Knights of Karin, with the name Lark.

Beside him for a while…

Lyle, a superior and senior member of the Knights, was stabbing and killing a professor of the Divine Faculty.

Through that shocking scene, Karin was able to understand the situation right away.

‘Those two are spies!’

Only then did all the puzzles come together.

Also, the information on how to capture the lycanthrope leaked out.

The summoning of vampires to the closed gates.

The sudden surprise attack from the rear of the party.

It was possible because those two were vampire spies who had infiltrated the knights.

Why do vampires use swords so well?

How did he trick people’s eyes and enter during the entrance exam?

Things like that didn’t matter much to me now.

I was immediately attacked and lost one important party member in vain.

Now that was the most important thing.

“Razak. come to me You cannot deal with that woman alone.”

La Tale, a vampire who used the pseudonym Lyle, glared at Karin and said.

Razak quickly came to his side and formed a formation.

‘… not good.’

Karin bit her lip in a slightly unfavorable situation.

I’m not saying it’s bad to deal with two people.

The members of the Knights and the swordsmanship faculty were all…

Now heading towards the forward formation to block the lycanthrope.

The fact that the support personnel in the rear were completely exposed to the two vampires.

This situation was not good.

Karin alone is enough to stop the two vampires, but in the middle of the fight one of them goes past her and attacks the support staff…

It was difficult to prevent a tragedy that would happen in an instant.

“Hap… !!”

But the opponent didn’t even give me a chance to think.

Latale and Razak simultaneously raised their swords and charged Karin.

She also quickly took out her rapier and prepared for a joint attack by the two vampires.

and… .

Chaeng- Chaejaeng-

What touched Karin’s rapier.

It wasn’t two swords, it was La Tale’s sword.

“sister! are you okay?!”

A man’s cry came as he clashed swords with another vampire, Razak.

“Sacher!”

… Among the party’s rear personnel.

Besides Karin, there were other heroes who could use a sword.
