Chapter 7 part10 (2/2)

It was an impossibly fast speed. This was one of Loki's abilities, the ”Boots of Loki”. While it didn't grant its user a speed that was almost like teleportation like it did in the legends, it was still extremely hard to catch up to unless one was contracted to Hermes.

At the same time, a darkness began to spread&h.e.l.lip; no, it just looked like darkness, it was actually the twelve psychopaths behind the vice president.

The fortress in front of them was the place that Arucia used as their HQ during the festival. While it looked simple and weak from the outside, it was actually fully armed, and ready to fight.

In other words, this was the enemy's base.

Normally, one would try to negotiate before fighting, but.

-Kill 'em.

Thought so. Those things aren't human. They're just murder weapons set on destroying all couples.

At the same time, they were elite summoners.

-Master, master, could it be that summoners get stronger the crazier they become?

Arcadia asked me this with a curious voice, after taking a look at the kid that contracted Loki.

”Hm? What is it?”

”Wahahahahaha!”

I turned to the two strongest people in the school next to me. Professor Muam looked back at me with a curious face, and professor Harian just laughed at the screen in front of her.

-Yeah, you might be right.

I think I might create a new research paper that states how certain summoned beasts can be attracted to perverts. Well, the Summoner's Alliance would probably do everything to stop me from publis.h.i.+ng the thing, though.

In the video was an extreme display of a flame barrage. The barrage of fire bombs that seemed to burn the sky itself was shaking the walls of the fortress in front of them, and the spears that sprouted out of the earth rammed the gates continuously.

The cost for responding to the attack far too late was great. Arucia was a Knight School. Even experienced knights get confused by ranged attacks. Of course, this meant that the student knights were unable to deal with the attacks effectively.

But. In just a second. All attacks were stopped by something.

”&h.e.l.lip;He became a hostage, and now he's helping the enemy?”

-He went crazy for women.

A giant phoenix. A blue whale. A green wolf. And lastly, a brown cat. Each and every one of them were powerful beasts, and around these beasts were countless lights. And atop the walls, there was he.

His clothes flapped lightly in the wind. The one who was looking downwards from the wall was the student council president of Yugrasia, and the man who betrayed the school for a woman. But for some reason, this Nerkia looked cooler than ever.

”He looks pretty nice.”

All the professors nodded after hearing Muam's comment. Unlike other summoners who fight using only one or two high-cla.s.s summoned beasts, Nerkia contracted a handful of high-cla.s.s summoned beasts.

Due to this, he was able to do just about anything.

But if we were to look at this badly, he was very close to being a jack of all trades. Controlling all that power was difficult, and his power output could only be weaker as a result.

I had asked him why he battled like this in the past, and he responded as such:

”I don't have much talent. That's why I need to form a contract whenever somebody says he'd make one with me.”

While his talent as a summoner was pretty good compared to a normal person, his talent among summoner n.o.bles was average at best.

That's why he did what he did.

But unlike his talent as a summoner, he seemed to have another talent that he was better at. That's what he was showcasing right now. He might be one of the famous idiots in the school, but&h.e.l.lip; at this moment, no one could refute his t.i.tle as the ”Elemental Core”.

”Did it end?”

The gates opened, and the students of Arucia all began to come out. At this point, I had given up.

While it wouldn't be good to call all of them first-rate knights, they were still extremely strong.

If these people were to get into a close-range battle, Yugrasia stood no chance. This was why the students of our school needed to damage the enemy as much as possible with long-range attacks.

But the fortress did not allow that to happen.

And as I had expected, the students of Yugrasia began falling one by one, despite Ricen's desperate fight.

Right before everything ended, though.

Something that even I did not expect happened. Something that would rock the world of summoning itself was about to happen.
