"Whack!"
As a wind element magic sliced past Jedikus's shoulder,
Davion, flying in almost the same speed as the wind element magic, swung his ice sword.
Jedikus tried to block Davion's attack by unleashing his magical energy, but
Thwack!
The ice sword pierced through the magical energy and stabbed Jedikus's flank.
"Ugh!"
It was a situation he couldn't understand at all.
He hadn't been neglecting to accumulate magical energy to someday take revenge on that spirit girl.
It was the most diligently he had devoted himself to training in the year since becoming a legion commander.
But.
Far from avenging himself on the spirit girl,
He was being unilaterally beaten by a human brat who wasn't even worth hunting.
The arm holding the dagger was torn and ripped to the point that it was difficult to even lift it properly.
Of course, it was an injury that would heal quickly if he went to the Demon Realm and absorbed magical energy, but
This wasn't the Demon Realm.
Besides, right now...
Crackle!
Boom!
His vision flashed, and lightning poured in, striking his torso.
'A devil...'
Suddenly, his movements doubled in speed.
He sent sharp winds like blades,
Spewed fire pillars as hot as hellfire,
Unleashed mana attacks that seemed to fold space,
And even created lightning with both hands to shoot out.
Among them, the most lethal was that transparent sword he was holding.
It not only pierced through barriers made of magical energy, but
Left irreversible wounds every time it stabbed and cut.
And that look in his eyes.
Even if he found the opponent who had killed him once, it would be difficult to shoot out such fierce eyes.
Now.
He even wondered what grudge he held against him to rampage like that.
'I have to run.'
He had to return to the Demon Realm.
He was being completely pushed back by that human brat named Davion.
The subordinates of Centurion Rinoa were watching, but
He might have to step down from his position as legion commander because of this, but
The dignity of a legion commander was only meaningful when alive.
After surrounding himself with a large amount of dark magical energy to block the demon's view,
He turned his head and looked at the place where the dimensional connection passage was.
Fortunately, it didn't seem to be shrinking yet.
Boom boom boom!
He fired a powerful magical energy attack.
It was useless.
He would either block it or avoid it anyway.
He had known a long time ago that ordinary magical energy attacks didn't work.
This attack was just to buy time.
Ripple.
He swung his arm wide to create a space-time tunnel.
The destination was right in front of the dimensional connection passage.
He threw his body into the rippling space-time tunnel.
Now, the remaining demons would be annihilated by these humans here, but
If he returned to the Demon Realm, he would be branded as a legion commander who abandoned his legion soldiers, but
It couldn't be helped.
It was better to plan for the future than to stay and die a dog's death.
He would return even stronger, even if he had to use forbidden means in the Demon Realm.
He would definitely kill that human brat and that spirit girl with his own hands.
Jedikus's body crossed space and instantly moved to its destination.
A space-time tunnel that could be opened by anyone with the skills of a centurion.
It was as easy and natural as eating for Jedikus, the legion commander.
'See you next time, Davion Naone.'
At that moment.
"Where are you going?"
Between Jedikus and the dimensional connection passage.
In that narrow space of only a few steps.
Davion Naone was standing.
Thwack.
Davion's sword pierced Jedikus's abdomen.
"Ugh!"
As he tried to lift the dagger to counterattack,
Bang!
A crimson fireball struck Jedikus's face.
Jedikus rolled away from the dimensional connection passage.
Davion's ice sword was still stuck in his stomach.
Crack crackle.
He could see another ice sword appearing in Davion's hand.
'Such a monstrous... bastard.'
As he quickly tried to get up,
Crackle.
Boom!
His vision flashed, and lightning flew in.
'Damn it. Where did everything go wrong...'
Whack!
The bastard, who had already circled behind him, swung his ice sword, as cold as his expression.
"Ugh!"
Deep.
The ice sword, which he had met in a defenseless state, deeply cut through Jedikus's back.
Thwack.
"Ugh..."
Jedikus looked down at the hot, terrible pain.
He saw a small metal fragment piercing out near his heart.
'When...'
A blade with swirling dark energy.
It was Jedikus's dagger.
He didn't even realize that the bastard had taken his dagger while his back was being torn apart.
'Magical energy... I need magical energy... I have to absorb magical energy...'
He could live if he was in the Demon Realm.
The dense magical energy that was scattered in the atmosphere would naturally seep in and heal Legion Commander Jedikus's wounds.
But this was the human realm.
Thud.
Jedikus's knees hit the ground.
Cough!
The blood that overflowed repeatedly stained his gray lips red.
'Damn it...'
The figure of Davion Naone came into his blurring vision.
The bastard leaned down and brought his face close.
"How does it feel? The feeling of a dagger stabbing into your heart from behind."
What nonsense...
Thud.
Jedikus's body slumped forward.
His consciousness, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, also slumped along with it.
After Jedikus's death.
The remaining demons resisted fiercely, but eventually they were all annihilated.
The number of dead demons was close to 400.
Half of the townspeople died.
Most of them were attacked before the academy personnel arrived.
And.
There were no deaths on the academy side.
It was all thanks to Mediun Frill's overwhelming healing magic.
Mediun Frill showed the epitome of what a healer should show on the battlefield.
She spread out her healing magic widely and simultaneously healed dozens of minor wounds.
If there was a student or assistant professor with fatal wounds, she immediately performed appropriate treatment.
As long as Mediun Frill was holding on,
It was useless unless they could kill her in one blow.
The injured were quickly pulled back behind the ranks.
And soon after, they rejoined the ranks in perfect condition.
Crack, tap.
Dark night.
The sound of a bonfire burning echoed over the quiet mountain ridge.
"But Davion. I feel like this is the first time I've seen you rush in so aggressively? You were like a different person."
"He's a demon legion commander. He's not someone you can deal with half-heartedly."
Karin tilted her head.
"I don't think it was just because of that..."
Liber also chimed in from the side.
"I don't think I've ever seen Davion fight that hard either."
It must have been obvious.
It's not like they're strangers.
Of course, since he was the enemy who killed me.
"What's so important about that? What's important is..."
Mediun Frill, who had already approached, sat down next to him.
"Teacher?"
"Can I sit down for a bit? I've finished treating the townspeople now."
"Sit here."
Liber asked.
"Teacher, then what's so important?"
"What else could it be? The fact that Davion took down a demon legion commander by himself. A demon legion commander, no less."
"Ah..."
Only then did some of the students sitting around the bonfire have a blank expression on their faces.
Demon Legion Commander.
One who commands ten thousand demon soldiers.
In the old days, when the great wizard Fabien Hendrix lived, there were records of a demon legion commander annihilating an entire order of knights by himself.
In the minds of the students, who were full of pride for defeating hundreds of demons.
Davion's presence was once again engraved.
'Davion took down a demon legion commander by himself.'
Of course, Davion Naone was also the one who played the biggest role in slaughtering hundreds of demons after that.
Mediun Frill opened her mouth.
"I had a lot of programs prepared for today... It's a shame. It's too late."
Mediun Frill had prepared a variety of programs for an overnight camping trip.
But after fighting and treating the injured, it was already late at night.
They had to finish today's schedule by lighting a bonfire and sitting around it.
"Okay, let's wake up early tomorrow and go to Portus City. Let's go to the tents."
The next day.
Potts Point, a large hotel at the entrance of Portus City.
As the largest port city on the Pax Continent, the scale of the hotel was beyond imagination.
Elton Academy had rented this hotel entirely for this field trip.
"Wow... What is this hotel? It's really big."
"The entire exterior is built with red bricks. It's pretty."
"But what's that food smell? Amazing."
Passing through the main gate revealed the hotel's huge garden.
"What is this?"
Leo Martiang, the head of the swordsmanship department, noticed something strange.
"Were we supposed to have lunch in this garden today?"
"No, we were scheduled to eat simply in the hotel's internal restaurant."
"We're the only guests. Then what is all that food?"
Long tables and chairs were densely placed in the wide garden.
Roughly, it was a scale that could seat more than 300 people.
The tables were covered with white cloths, and various foods were laid out on top of them.
Not only that, but on one side of the garden, people were barbecuing a huge piece of meat whole.
In addition, dozens of people were busily moving around preparing and carrying food.
A man wearing fairly fancy clothes approached.
"Are you Leo Martiang, the head of the swordsmanship department?"
"That's me."
"I am the butler of Marquis Espin Ellaina. The marquis has given special instructions and prepared this in advance."
"You mean this meal?"
"Yes, that's right."
Leo Martiang looked around again.
Various dishes were being prepared on the table.
Some foods used expensive ingredients that were obvious at a glance.
"I appreciate it, but... what's the reason for going this far?"
"It's because of Master Davion."
"Davion?"
"Yes. The marquis told me to say this. 'Since my friend Davion Naone of the Frontier Count Espin Ellaina is coming to Portus City with his classmates on a field trip, I have prepared a simple meal. I hope you enjoy it to the fullest.'"
Simple, he says...
Even if the royal family held a banquet, it wouldn't be on this scale.
Anyway.
According to aristocratic etiquette, Leo Martiang also conveyed his words to the butler.
"Leo Martiang, the head of the swordsmanship department of Elton Academy, conveys his gratitude to Marquis Espin Ellaina of the Frontier Count on behalf of the 230 people who participated in this field trip."
"Yes, I understand."
The butler turned around, and the head of the swordsmanship department looked at the kinesis professor and said.
"I'm amazed that Davion was a friend of the Frontier Count."
The kinesis professor smiled and nodded.
"He's an amazing guy anyway."
The other professors were also surprised.
Davion was a friend of the living legend Espin Ellaina.
"Wow."
Nubes' mouth dropped open as he sat down.
Elton Academy's student cafeteria was quite good, but
In front of the delicacies unfolding before his eyes, it had been relegated to the level of an ordinary inn breakfast.
The other students were also surprised.
Bellum scanned the table and opened his mouth.
"What is all this anyway? There are a lot of foods I've never seen before. So the marquis prepared all this? For Davion."
"Wow... Davion is amazing."
It was something Davion hadn't expected either.
'Why go so far?'
At that time.
A carriage passed through the hotel's main gate.
