A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

080. Crimson Tears

“Everyone, please cheer up a little more!”

Yumano shouted, stabilizing the magic power of the crystal called ‘Red Stone’.

God, the original demon, the grimoire, and even the spirits clung to each other, but it was impossible.

Because the amount of magical power emanating from the crater itself was incredible,

At best, the limit was to endure like this and reduce the scale of the impending explosion as much as possible.

“Please, at least Trine should be safe…”

That’s why Yumano sent Grokatsu to the village.

If he likes Trine, he will definitely be able to protect him somehow.

But those expectations were soon shattered by a confident voice coming from above.

“We’ve brought reinforcements!”

I looked up in surprise and saw Grokarth and an airship.

Moreover, Trine’s presence was felt inside the airship.

Yumano shouted in a very irritated voice.

“I told you to evacuate, but someone told you to bring me!”

That wasn’t the only problem.

Even though Trine is like that, it would be bothersome in many ways if his identity was discovered by other humans.

As expected, a loud voice was heard from the airship.

“What are those b*stards!”

“Well, they’re just ordinary humans, so don’t worry about them!”

… Trine, who was sitting in the anti-aircraft gun cockpit, immediately realized their identity and muttered.

“Why are those kids over there?”

As far as Trine knows, all four of them would have said that they could not appear in the real world for their own reasons.

At this point, I even suspected that everyone was bored and stuck in Trine’s imaginary world.

Sir’an asked Trine.

“Do you know these guys?”

“Huh? Oh, well, I’ll explain later.”

Sirian clicked his tongue at that vague answer and shouted into the loudspeaker.

“I will collapse the wall and bury the stone alive, so everyone do your best to avoid it!”

Then Yumano answered.

“We don’t die, so we don’t care… What?!”

“They said they would bury that stone alive!”

“Are you crazy?! Why would you do something like that? It’ll only make the explosion bigger!”

In response, Prince Sirian shouted at Grokath.

“Look! It’s crazy!”

“I told you to just trust me! Ignore what that fledgling little god says!”

“A little god?”

Prince Sir’an frowned for a moment, but there was no time to leisurely organize his thoughts.

This was because numerous winged monsters quickly gathered around the airship.

“Start interception!”

Trine and Sia immediately began firing anti-aircraft guns on both sides of the airship.

On one side, I hit the shooting foot one by one and took it down.

It wasn’t cool that the other side missed almost everything.

“Trine, you b*stard, shoot straight! How can you be worse than Pyrrol and Locke!”

“What do you expect from me, who is using this for the first time!”

Fortunately, Grokatsu joined them and started chasing away the monsters from the Trine side together.

In the air, which became chaotic with the dragon’s flames and numerous bullets,

Sir’an shouted as he made the airship dive.

“I’m going to circle the crater, and I’m going to blow up the gunpowder with my naval gun and destroy the wall!”

At those words, Yuril and Allie prepared to fire the naval guns from below.

Every time a cannonball is fired at the crater wall and explodes,

Numerous rocks fell into the crater.

Grokath shouted.

“Good! Just keep doing it!”

Conveniently, the gunpowder barrels brought from the village could be used as cannonballs.

Thanks to this, I didn’t have to worry about running out of shells…

“It’s too inefficient.”

The nameless devil muttered.

In fact, most of the rocks were falling in the wrong place, not near the Red Tower.

“It looks like you need my help.”

The devil took his hand off the Red Tower with a somewhat amused expression.

Yumano shouted.

“Where are you going? Are you really going to join in on that evil dragon’s stupid plan?!”

“Be careful what you say. That dragon is a wise man who has lived in this land dozens of times longer than you.”

The nameless devil flew up without wings.

Then he waved his arms like a conductor playing an orchestra.

Immediately afterwards, numerous rocks began to be pulled towards him.

Prince Siran was dumbfounded by the surreal scenery.

“What on earth are those?”

Trine also frowned and muttered.

“That’s right.”

Soon, numerous rocks began to pile up around the Red Tower.

Meanwhile, Yumano, Hwaran, and the spirit seemed to have no intention of avoiding the falling rocks.

The rocks passed right through their bodies like ghosts.

“Now we’re almost done!”

After some time, the red stone was completely crushed under the rock tower.

However, rather than calming down, the Red House shook even more.

“It’s no use at all! What are we going to do now?”

Grokatsu responded to Yumano’s shout.

“Wait just a moment. My body will take care of the rest.”

Then, it suddenly started spewing out huge flames towards the rock tower.

“Are you crazy?! And then it really explodes!”

However, contrary to Yumano’s predictions, the vibrations of the Red Stone began to weaken little by little.

Grokath, who had been breathing fire for a while, stopped and laughed loudly.

“Look! Didn’t I tell you to trust me!”

“How on earth…”

“Rocks have the property of absorbing and blocking magical energy.”

He then proudly pointed to his mouth and continued speaking.

“Furthermore, my breath is not an ordinary fire, but a fire that burns magical power.”

Only then did Yumano feel relieved and fall from the Red Tower.

“Please give me that explanation a long time ago.”

“There was no time to explain, was there?”

At that time, Hwaran shouted.

“Everyone, we’re not done yet! The master is in danger!”

… In fact, the Skywilder was still being chased by numerous monsters.

Many monsters were hit by bullets and fell to the ground,

Nevertheless, the number of monsters only increased.

“Oh no! Let’s go help right away!”

Grokarth flapped his wings as hard as he could and rushed towards the airship.

Hwaran shouted to Yumano, demons, and spirits.

“We’re going to help too! To you guys, monsters are just gum, right?”

But for some reason, all three seemed to have no intention of moving.

“I’m sorry… From God’s perspective, it is taboo to directly help humans.”

“Me too.”

“sorry.”

Hwaran was greatly embarrassed by that unexpected reaction.

“You guys really come now!”

The situation was tense.

Even with Grokath joining, the number of monsters was already so great that the sky looked completely black.

In the end, the Skywilder seemed to have been hit as well, with black smoke coming out of one wing.

no way! “I was a fool to trust you from the beginning!”

Hwaran flew towards the airship alone with his small body.

Yumano shouted from below.

“The Red House is broken, so you can use magical power!”

***

… Allie felt that she was going to die soon.

“It looks like the volcano has calmed down, so I’ll leave like this!”

Prince Siran quickly turned the rudder and shouted.

However, the airship moved slower than expected.

This was because some of the functions were damaged due to monsters randomly hitting the body from all over the place.

Sia shouted.

“Now we’re running out of anti-aircraft bullets!”

“Damn it! Just shoot sparingly and chase them away!”

No matter what you do, it’s already too late.

The gunboat side also tried to deal with the monsters as much as possible, but it was not enough.

The airship was trembling greatly, as if it had already reached its limit.

‘Still, I’m glad we prevented the volcanic eruption.’

This is enough.

At least with the sacrifice of a few people here, countless residents could be saved.

Not only Allie, but everyone else seemed resigned, knowingly or unknowingly.

but…

“Hang in there everyone! We’re almost there!”

Drago.

No, it didn’t seem like Trine’s heart was broken at all.

Even in this overwhelming despair, he never gives up and encourages everyone.

That figure resembles someone.

A precious person that I can’t even remember anymore.

If only that person had been there…

Couldn’t Allie have some hope too?

“Master niiiiiiiim!”

Out of nowhere, something that looked like a little fairy invaded the airship.

He then entered Trine’s body,

Soon it popped out again in the form of a book and started flying around the ship.

“Ha!”

Allie was startled by the ‘flying grimoire’ she had never seen before and moaned involuntarily.

The grimoire shouted to everyone.

“Everyone can use magic now! So cheer up!”

Trine shouted nervously.

“Where on earth are you now?”

“Wow! Wow! That’s what you’re going to say to me now, after going through so much trouble for my master?!”

Sirian hit a large button with his fist.

“It’s a different story if you can use magic!”

Soon a huge electric field formed around the airship.

Thanks to this, most of the monsters started screaming and running away from the airship.

But the large monsters still seemed to have no intention of backing down.

“Trine! Isn’t there a better way!”

“Leave it to me!”

Trine suddenly opened the airship door.

“What are you trying to do!”

“I’m going to lure them away! Hwaran! Get ready!”

… What is anger?

Allie’s head went blank for a moment at the vaguely familiar name.

“Yes master!”

When the grimoire tried to fly to Trine,

Ally reflexively grabbed the grimoire.

“Mom! What are you doing all of a sudden?”

“…….”

Allie smiled awkwardly and let go of Hwaran.

Then Hwaran paused in place for a moment…

“I see. Thank you for being alive, dear.”

Dim.

A name from the past that only Allie’s former colleagues know.

Allie looked confused for a moment.

For some reason, I felt like the grimoire was smiling.

“Let’s talk properly later! So live until the end!”

Then it soon transformed into a purple sword and was held in Trine’s hand.

“Then I’ll see you all later!”

Prince Sir’an shouted as Trine suddenly jumped out of the airship.

“Hey, you crazy b*stard! You don’t even know flying magic!”

The others also gasped in surprise and looked down at the airship.

Trine cried out as he fell.

“Ring!”

The crow of a chicken rang out powerfully into the air.

Then, countless monsters ignored the airship and rushed at Trine.

Trine shouted, covering his body with dragon scales.

“Grokath!”

“OK!”

Grokath suddenly spewed out a huge flame at Trine.

Thanks to this, the monsters that were flocking to Trine were all engulfed in flames and completely disappeared.

But nothing has been resolved yet.

Trine was still falling toward the ground.
