-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't cut down the Mad Dragon, but I succeeded in standing between Leo Martiang, the Head of the Swordsmanship Department, and the Mad Dragon.
"Stella!"
"I can't... I absolutely can't let Master die in a place like this."
"This is a meaningful death for me! There's no reason for you to step up and die like a dog! Instead of doing this, take Davian and run far away. You are our future..."
"I'm not going anywhere without you!"
"Stella..."
Kwaaaang!
The Mad Dragon's energy poured in.
"Uwaaaaa!"
A shout that one could never imagine coming from the composed and cool Stella Cloud.
Stella's sword swung greatly.
Chwaak! Chwak!
It split the heavy energy shot by Insanity into four pieces.
As if.
To not let even a strand of hair of her master, Leo Martiang, standing behind her, be touched.
Meanwhile, the Mad Dragon Insanity closed the distance with Stella.
'It's a simple pattern!'
The attack pattern of Insanity seen so far was very simple.
After shooting out a dark aura like darkness.
Close the distance and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Then, when the distance widens again, shoot out the aura.
'I'll stick to you tenaciously!'
Stella's sword and Insanity's fist met.
Sreuk.
Stella, having stepped her foot to the side, deflected Insanity's attack.
A chance for a counterattack created after an excellent move.
'I don't need a counterattack.'
Since I can't cut it anyway.
Counterattacking is useless.
Instead, Stella chose to stick even closer to Insanity.
Chaeeng!
Since the distance is too close, even the long sword is just cumbersome.
Peok! Peok!
Stella Cloud began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Insanity, having even thrown away her sword.
Truly.
It was an amazing scene.
A human engaging in hand-to-hand combat with a dragon.
She blocked Insanity's fist with her forearm and struck the monster's chin.
In fact, rather than striking.
It would be more accurate to say that she planted her fist into a rock.
Anyway.
She gritted her teeth and endured.
In less than a few seconds.
Her forearm bone broke.
Her shoulder caved in.
Even her knee twisted.
Still, she never widened the distance with the monster.
Mutual destruction.
Since the professors will be watching this scene closely.
When the final strike, with everyone joining forces, is prepared.
They won't do something stupid like hesitating to attack because she is attached to the Mad Dragon.
With a caved-in shoulder, with a twisted knee, and yet with the tenacious hand-to-hand combat.
Stella's intention was sufficiently conveyed to the professors.
That intention to die with this crazy dragon, that is.
'If I do this... maybe...'
Peok! Peok!
'I might be able to save Master.'
In the meantime, more bones broke.
No matter how many bones broke and muscles twisted.
She managed to block and avoid getting hit in the head or chest.
If Stella dies instantly in one blow, the next target will be Leo Martiang right away.
'Endure. Stella. You can do it. The next generation's best swordsman of the continent, shove it. I've been training all my life for this moment today.'
Kwajik!
Thud.
Her left shin was shattered, and one knee fell to the ground.
Thump!
Stella spread both arms and tightly embraced the Mad Dragon's body as it was.
'You're not going anywhere. You crazy dragon bastard.'
Kwaduk!
Insanity grabbed Stella's left arm and tore it off as it was.
Blood splattered everywhere, but.
Not even a single groan came from Stella Cloud's mouth.
'I still have one arm left.'
She also wrapped her right leg around the monster's body.
She could see the monster's hand reaching towards her head.
In the last moment.
Stella Cloud uttered a word that she had never dared to say in her life.
Of course, it wouldn't reach the target.
"I respect and love you, Master."
Since it's about ten steps away.
This level of voice wouldn't be heard, right.
Stella, who even controlled the volume of her voice at the last moment of death.
Because it was a word that she couldn't dare to reach.
Because it was a word that shouldn't reach.
But because it was a word that she wanted to utter once.
At that time.
Kwajik!
Insanity's hand pierced the flesh.
But.
It wasn't Stella's head.
What Insanity's hand pierced was Leo Martiang's back.
"Master...!"
Leo Martiang, who had come close before she knew it, blocked Insanity's attack with his body.
"I told you to run away, you little rascal."
Pshik.
In the absurd situation.
Stella ended up letting out a hollow laugh.
"You came here knowing why I'm doing this, right?"
"Isn't it to save me?"
"Does someone who knows that have their back pierced above my head right now?"
At that time.
Kwaddeudeudeu!
The ground shook and cracked.
A huge fire magic covered and came in over it.
Arrows as big as human torsos also flew in.
Swaaaaek!
Wind elemental magic.
Kwang! Kwaang!
Mana acceleration.
Kwagwagwagwa!
Even mana swords.
"Let's go together, Stella."
"Yes, Master."
Kwang! Kwang!
Pueong!
A spectacle unfolded.
In the place where the Mad Dragon Insanity, held by Leo Martiang, the Head of the Swordsmanship Department, and Professor Stella Cloud, was.
All kinds of attacks poured in.
Even though Leo Martiang and Stella Cloud were intertwined on Insanity's body.
No one hesitated to deliver the final blow.
Everyone knew that hesitating here would further dishonor the sacrifice of those two people.
'I should have been there.'
Chancellor Hugo Molton also repeatedly shot mana swords.
It wasn't that he chose this side instead of that side to save his life.
As Leo Martiang said, he had to stand here to put a little more strength into the final blow.
'I'm sorry. Leo Martiang. Stella Cloud.'
Davian Naone was also participating in the final blow.
He had already fired the Festival of Fire.
He quickly swung the ice sword to continue emitting mana swords.
Due to the rising earth, the hellish flames, the continuous explosions, and the dust, it was impossible to confirm Insanity's appearance.
'Damn it.'
The notification sound signaling the end of the quest does not ring easily.
'Is it still not dead even after this?'
Even if the God of War appeared, it would be difficult to survive if he received this attack on his body.
But the quest hasn't ended yet.
At that time.
A black sphere of energy was created from where Insanity was.
It pushed back the joint attack of the faculty and began to grow.
Hwaaaak!
The black sphere, which was slowly increasing in size at first, spread out in all directions in an instant.
The faculty's cooperative attack that had been pouring in.
It was scattered and flown away in all directions like that.
A groan leaked from Chancellor Hugo Molton's mouth.
"This..."
The appearance of the Mad Dragon Insanity was visible far away.
His hair had turned gray and was standing on end.
Black energy was swirling all over his body.
Damn.
Davian Naone remembered a cartoon he had seen when he was young before he possessed this world.
A Saiyan becomes a Super Saiyan...
What was next?
It was exactly like that.
The energy felt from Insanity had become much more ominous than before.
"That is... a dragon."
A lament that no one knew who uttered weighed heavily on the hearts of everyone gathered there.
Hugo Molton opened his mouth.
"Let's go. Let's do as much as we can."
Kinesics nodded.
Sirims Andrian, the Head of the Magic Department, prepared a number of wind elemental magic spells.
It meant that he would support the swordsmanship department professors.
Taat!
Hugo Molton kicked off the ground and shot out towards Insanity.
Davian followed behind him.
The other swordsmanship department professors also threw themselves without hesitation.
Kwachang!
Eventually.
Continental Best Swordsman Hugo Molton's sword was broken.
Of course.
It wasn't just his sword that was broken.
"Davian... run away."
Thud.
Hugo Molton's head fell to the ground.
It's annoying.
How many times have I heard those words today?
I'm so sick of it I could die.
Leo Martiang, the Head of the Swordsmanship Department, and Professor Stella Cloud, who chose mutual destruction to buy time to prepare the final blow.
Sirims Andrian, the Head of the Magic Department, who, despite being a magician, came close to the battlefield to help even a little more and fired wind elemental magic, only to have his whole body explode and die in one blow.
Professor Kinesics, who stupidly used psychokinesis to pull the dragon towards him to save Davian, only to have his neck snapped and die with a punch.
Medihum Frill, who ran up to heal such Kinesics and cast healing magic, only to be kicked by Insanity and fly far away to a place where he couldn't even be seen, and hit his head against the wall of a building and die.
Every time they made eye contact with Davian, they left the same words like a will.
Davian, run away.
Shit.
Where am I supposed to run away to?
I have to graduate.
Where am I supposed to run away to?
Most of the faculty is dead.
Seriously.
Can humans.
Really stand a chance against a dragon?
Archmage Fabian Hendrix.
How in the world did you catch and seal that monster?
Kwagwagwagwa!
Mad Dragon Insanity shot out a black aura.
Chwaak!
Davian nervously swung his ice sword to cut down Insanity's aura.
Taat!
Insanity flew and closed the distance with Davian.
Same pattern.
'If I had fought in a sane state, I wouldn't have even made it this far.'
I felt like I had barely endured this far because the Mad Dragonification had progressed and it had lost its reason like a beast.
If Insanity had mixed up its attack patterns a little more diversely.
We would have been wiped out a long time ago.
What's the point of blocking and avoiding the monster's attacks any longer like this?
Eventually, Davian will also end up dying like the 'Continental Best Swordsman' and 'The Spiritual Pillar of All Magicians' sprawled out over there.
A quest like this when there's no Glacier.
'This damn quest system must have done it on purpose.'
I knew that the difficulty would increase as Davian got stronger.
But isn't this going too far?
I've been running around like a madman trying to somehow prevent the Alkancia Kingdom from being swallowed up by the Marino Empire.
Suddenly a dragon appears.
A crazy dragon at that.
Insanity's fist extended towards Davian's torso.
Shit.
Whatever happens, happens.
Davian blocked Insanity's fist with his left arm forward.
Kwaduk!
The sound of bones breaking was heard instantly.
How could I block the fist of the Mad Dragon Insanity with this thin forearm?
At that time.
A pure white light emanated from the magic circle engraved on Davian's left forearm bone.
Insanity's fist cut through the air as it was.
Davian disappeared without a trace.
In front of the well connected to the Archmage's hidden place.
Hwaak!
At the same time as a bright light emanated from the magic circle engraved on the rock, Davian, who was completely battered, appeared.
"Haa..."
Davian sighed.
4th playthrough.
Choosing a double major.
Obtaining the Stone of Enlightenment.
Making a contract with Glacier.
I've grown really fast.
Maybe.
I might have gone too far ahead.
As a result.
Chancellor Hugo Molton also died.
The Head of the Magic Department, Sirims Andrian, also died.
The Head of the Swordsmanship Department, Leo Martiang, also died.
And the Elten Mad Dragon Insanity is still perfectly fine.
Unless a miracle happens.
Elten Academy is over now.
Now, all that's left is.
Either give up and admit defeat to the system and the quest.
Or.
"Are you telling me to absorb the heart of the Archmage after all?"
