There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 106

32. Dungeon Defense (5)

‘Nice Support!’

I couldn’t hide my satisfaction as I watched Camila screaming next to me.

It was her who had not been able to understand the situation until a while ago and had interrupted her.

I could feel a strange bond with Camilla, who exchanged glances with me.

‘I’m glad I’m not blind.’

Along with Camilla’s support fire, I continued to act as an evil ghost knight who even took hostages.

“Give me rest! If you don’t break this cursed bondage, I’ll take your breath away!”

“Save me!!!”

The body temperature has dropped sharply due to the effect of ghosting. Camila twitches every time I touch it.

Was that appearance seen as a threat to Aidan?

A huge concentration of mana surged from Aidan’s hand.

“I’m here! Someone to give you rest! I’m here, free the hostages!”

“It is true justice. Come on!!”

It wasn’t like he couldn’t keep Camilla with him anyway.

I carefully pushed the woman I had suppressed and handed it over to Aidan.

“it’s okay!?”

As Karin, who was on the alert next to me, quickly grabbed Camila, I finally pulled out my sword.

It was just a simple Arslonga steel sword, but with the side effect of the ghost potion, it has changed like a full-fledged spirit weapon.

I looked at the sword that was emitting blue aura.

I feel like I’ve become a real ghost knight.

There was a brief embarrassing incident, but I couldn’t control the emotions that were starting to inspire me.

“Aidan! I’ll stop you from the front!”

Ryan, a shield swordsman, pushes a shield the size of his body forward, and Aidan starts a magic chant from behind.

A language containing the energy of flame was spit out, and a huge square-shaped shallow field was formed based on the magician Aidan.

“Volcanic Hills!”

A field buff that amplifies the damage of fire elemental magic.

As the warm air that pierced even the cold air of ghost shoes rose, he calmly observed Aidan’s next move.

The magic circle developed following the field buff was in the form of intermediate fire-attribute magic.

‘I think it’s Hell Breath.’

Hell Breath is a magic that emits flames of powerful fire power from the magic circle. A mechanism similar to that of a flamethrower.

‘Rather than precision attack, do you plan to continue attacking even if the damage is a little weak? … .’

That is probably the reason why Volcanic Hills was activated.

Use field buffs to amplify firepower, which is insufficient to stop the ghost knight.

It wasn’t a bad decision.

However.

‘That’s not the right answer.’

I immediately grabbed Ryan and drew his sword.

Kagang-!!

The sound of steel hitting each other resonates, and Ryan’s arm is pushed back by the rushing impact.

“Ugh!!”

“Ryan-senpai! To the side!!”

“I got it! Now, get out of the way… oh my!?”

‘Absolutely not.’

Kagang!! Big Grump-!

I tenaciously followed Ryan’s movement as he stepped back to give Aidan some distance.

Except for Karin, who is currently chasing Camilla, it’s 2-1.

It was true that he lacked more skills than Aaron Nortonhale.

‘Still, it’s not cheesy. thank god.’

As I prepared for this operation, I brushed away the worries that remained in my mind.

Of course, even in the end, even if Aidan and the others are in a position where defeat is confirmed, the pride of the deceased cannot allow them to be pushed helplessly.

Kang!! Kang!

Ryan used his shield and sword skillfully and received my attack.

However, the moment he tried to give Aidan even a little distance, he was very embarrassed by the attack.

“This child…!!”

The situation was so close that we could feel each other’s breath. I looked straight into Ryan’s eyes, full of anger, and laughed out loud.

“Isn’t this only enough!!! Try harder!!”

“damn!”

Ryan, who was overcome by my provocation, switches from defense to offense. bang! The protrusions of the smooth tempered kite shield collided with the armor.

After a moment of hesitation, a sharp sword strike flew in.

‘Ike.’

I leaned back as far as I could to avoid Ryan’s attack.

Among the companions that can be used as companions in the early stages, Ryan has a performance that is not as bad as Tiffne.

Rather than Tiffne, a twin swordsman, it can use a shield and a sword at the same time, so it is considered a good early and mid-tier utility companion among players.

But the usability is excellent.

‘It means that both offense and defense are uncertain.’

After avoiding Ryan’s attack, the empty space formed between the shield and the sword is clearly visible.

It used to protect the abdomen and chest with armor, but it was chain armor that gave more weight to mobility.

If you put your mind to it and stab it, it will break through.

If it had been a real battle, it would have already been fatal at this point.

However, this battle, no matter how boiling, can never inflict fatal wounds on the opponent.

So, rather than attacking an empty space, I swung my sword in a trajectory that could be blocked on purpose.

visor!

Perhaps he didn’t know that he was going to attack right away, so his eyes widened in surprise, and he retreated completely backwards.

Aidan’s Volcanic Hills was out of range while the swords were facing each other.

Realizing that the strategy didn’t work, Ryan bites his lip as if resentful.

“You read all the movements!”

As soon as Aidan realized that Volcanic Hills had no significant impact, he canceled Hell Flame’s casting.

“Ryan-senpai!”

The lull came after that.

It seems that Camilla was completely evacuated, Karin also joined the party and developed a magic circle.

In any case, they are the heroes who are the main pillars of the main scenario. At first, I thought it was appropriate, but I was thinking of dropping out.

As the situation progressed, I had no choice but to over-immerse myself in it.

I muttered to Aidan’s party, who was staring at me with hostile eyes.

“Seohan… I’m hungry!!”

“Karin! Keep pace! Senior Ryan, only stop him when he approaches from behind me!”

Aidan quickly lined up in the air and gave orders.

In line with those words, Ryan was alert so that he could block my approach at any time and fell.

First, a sparkling magic bullet is generated from Karin’s hand after the chanting is finished.

“Mana Missiles!”

Read at readwn.com

Matan that spreads out in three branches by deploying a triple chorale.

I somehow avoided the two missiles that flew first, but in the end I couldn’t dodge the last one and hit my armor.

pop!

The shock wave that spread out along with the explosion sound hit the organ.

But I didn’t stop. The armor I’m currently wearing is the Anti-Magic Armor Set.

It is excellent at blocking magic, but it also has some resistance to attacks of mana, which is a similar type of energy.

“Where!”

As we approach Karin, Ryan’s shield strikes right in time.

‘Even if you don’t have any dungeon attack know-how, the connection between them is pretty good.’

I frankly stuck my tongue out at Ryan’s tight defense.

If Beltane, Robin, and Typhne had been added here, it would have already been pushed to the limit.

‘Having a leisurely time is just like when your skills are superior… … . Now it’s hard to check each one of them.’

“Fire Ball!”

bang!!

“ね-!”

While receiving Ryan’s attack, Aidan’s magic hits the side.

It was a fireball with fire properties, but as it had been trained for a long time, its power was not something that could be easily passed on.

‘During the moment my eyes were sold, you gave up your angle!’

I tried to overlap Ryan within the magic range as before.

This time Ryan started to block my movements.

Kang! Kaga!

If you try to deviate from the magic path, Ryan’s shield blocks the path.

However, the moment he swung his sword to counterattack, Aidan and Karin’s support fire flew in from different sides.

bang! Pugh!!!

‘Look at the ghost knight pouring only fire-attribute magic. I’ll do it, really!’

Once again, I feel the pain of the monsters who have been neglected because of their properties.

But you can’t give up either.

I took some throwing weapons from my waist and threw them at Karin.

“Watch out behind you!”

Because Ryan was facing me, it wasn’t enough to take Karin’s attack instead.

Aidan was also a little far away, and he was helpless against my surprise attack.

phut! Papang!

As powder rose from the special sleep paralysis bomb that bounced to the ground, Karin staggered and collapsed on the spot.

“Karin!!!!”

I laughed wickedly at Aidan, who was crying desperately.

“Khahahahaha!! The end of the human era has come!”

“Are you okay? Come to your senses!?”

Aidan hurriedly runs to Karin and embraces her.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with your health. ‘Cause I just fell asleep

But Aidan’s eyes changed in an instant.

“Karin… Karin…!!! You damn child, I won’t let you go!!!”

Aidan got up from his seat, raised both hands, and slammed it to the ground.

Soon, a huge circle of blood-colored magic spreads over the ground.

It formed an area that could not be compared with the previously developed ‘Volcanic Hills’.

“What-!?”

“…the heart of fire is engulfed in cold, and heaven and earth shake.”

The chanting is also completely different from beginner or intermediate level magic. At that moment, I immediately recognized the identity of the magic Aidan was about to cast.

‘Advanced destruction magic, Frost Blast… … .’

A wide-area magic that combines ice and fire properties to create a powerful explosion.

‘X did it!?’

When the hell did you learn advanced magic?

Even in the main story, no matter how quickly you learn advanced magic, it is the end of the first year and second semester!

After a moment of panic, I was able to recall the part where Aidan was clearly different from the main story.

‘Maybe I signed a contract with Grundel… … ?’

Grundel is the 4th Star Frost Spirit. A skill similar to ‘Frost Blast’ would have been passed on to Aidan without difficulty.

As if I had learned to fly from Lioner.

‘Excluding the rapid growth caused by Grundel from environmental variables, damn it!’

It was clearly my negligence.

As I cooperated with Grundel in advance, I was able to obtain more reliable information about Aidan.

It was a curse that had been passed on as a rough guess.

“Shut up!!!”

I tried to push Ryan away and subdue the magician Aidan.

“Why are you starting to run a little later?”

Ryan smiled relaxedly and followed tenaciously. It was a great cover with no frills.

‘I don’t have time to argue!’

The overwhelming waves of mana cause the air to fluctuate violently, creating a huge vortex.

“If you use that magic, you won’t be safe either!”

Realizing that going like this could really put my life in danger, I tried to calm myself down with words.

What came back was Ryan’s confident smile.

“Do you think we weren’t even prepared for that?”

With those words, Ryan pulled out a purple crystal from his pocket.

Soon, a transparent barrier wrapped around her body.

“Spell Shield…!!!”

“Aidan!! Give me one big bite!!”

“I can’t do that!!!”

The magic circle that was ready to cast resonated with Aidan’s mana—just at the moment when an explosion of great power was about to rise.

“Baekryun Chapter 4, Old Wind!!!”

The mana that had been gathered was scattered by the huge wind pressure that rose nearby.

At the unbelievable sight, not only me but Ryan and Aidan’s eyes turned to the back.

There was Camilla with her fists pointed at Aidan.

“Camila-sama! What are you doing now!”

When Aidan, who had been interrupted by the magic in front of her, protested, Camilla exchanged glances with me once again, then returned to her posture.

“I give my life to the ghost knight!!!”
