大神同学要被吃掉

The pitch-black night sky turned into a haze of crimson, causing the entire canyon to fluctuate.

Rumbling!

The cliffs cracked and exhaled fires.

The high flames took on the shape of dragons flying over the land.

Not long after that, an incinerating wave devoured the summoned legion.

Boom!

Countless rock giants swiftly melted away, and hundreds of storm spirits evaporated due to the heat.

Hollien became a little stiff as she looked around.

“This is…”

Her summoned monsters quickly disappeared.

It was absurd.

A level 155 Spiritist used a lot of Prana for them, yet the reinforced summoned legion still collapsed so easily?

‘How powerful is their seal?’

That wasn’t the only problem.

Nine Fire Dragons swept through the chasm, raising their heads and breathing flames into the air.

Their inferno enveloped the entire canyon and the sky with blazes.

Boom!

A huge burning dome had been erected over their surroundings.

Feeling overwhelming pressure on her shoulders, Hollien bit on her lower lip.

She knew the identity of the seal.

“Dea X Apocalypse!”

* * *

In ancient times, when dungeons or Aliens were yet to exist, neither humans nor fairies were as strong as they currently were.

At that time, Latna’s strongest creatures were the dragons.

They were born with top-tier bodies and energy, and with their power, they greatly surpassed other races.

Aura skills, magic spells, and spiritual arts were unique to dragons, and magic swordsmanship techniques had never existed.

At that time, the Fire Dragon King existed, also known as the strongest Dragon.

He invented the most powerful deterrence seal in his later years, which was also the beginning of the Sinkers’ founding.

His efforts resulted in Dea X Apocalypse, the great destruction that Artis had shown.

Hollien frowned as she stepped back from the heat of the whole place.

‘How is this possible?’

It wasn’t strange that they knew the hermeticism of the Fire Dragon King.

The Church of Darkness, serving Kybriel, the Dragon creator, had collected and kept every information related to the Dragon race.

They needed a Staff of the Fire Dragon King and the Great Destruction Fire Disposition.

Nevertheless, until that moment, she didn’t care about the seal at all.

Because…

“This is something that only a level 140 or higher Mage can cast.”

Even the Fire Dragon King could use the seal only after he reached over 900 years old.

He had done it in his dragon form, not in his human form, as well.

Currently, there was only one person in Latna who could invoke that seal. It was the Archmage, Genovia.

On the other hand, the red-haired Mage was at least level 94.

‘Is it just an illusion?’

With distrust in her eyes, Hollien flung ectoplasmic spears into the air.

Dozens of spiritual spears hit the blazing dome, causing a huge explosion.

None of her weapons could penetrate through it.

It just shook for a while but soon returned to its original state, continuing to emit its intense heat.

“It’s not… a trick.”

It was the real Dea X Apocalypse, which was powerful enough to lock up even a level 155 Spiritist.

Holding her spear, Kibie gave her an insidious smile.

“You must be surprised, Hollien.”

“I admit. You caught me off-guard.”

Hollien asked with a stiff face.

“What did you do, and how did you do it?”

They would’ve needed to do complicated calculations and installed the seal using an expensive catalyst.

Where the hell did they get the vast mana to trigger the seal?

Kibie smiled.

“There’s no reason to disclose the information to the enemy deliberately.”

However, Hollien wasn’t called the strongest for no reason.

She could read the flow of the seal calmly by focusing on the underlying energy.

“… Is that the Spirit Stone of a divine beast?”

She soon found out the truth behind the seal.

“Is that from Uto Ksarik? How the hell did you get that?”

Frederick and Palmer shook their heads.

“As expected. You aren’t called the Transcendental for nothing…”

“You’re catching up.”

Approaching slowly, Sabine Asil opened her mouth.

“This is the ultimate seal made with the Spirit Stone of Uto Ksarik, the divine beast of the Kaltan. No matter how hard you try, you can’t do anything about it.”

“Um…”

Hollien looked around.

Before she knew it, Ryu Han-bin, Effir, and the six Templar Lords already had her surrounded.

They had taken advantageous positions while she was distracted.

“You got me.”

With a bitter smile, Hollien stretched her hands.

Prana began to flow and push out the heat around her.

“I guess it’s time to get serious from now on.”

“Of course.”

Ryu Han-bin laughed coldly, aiming at her with his Gigant.

“You don’t think we’ve fought seriously so far, do you?”

* * *

Sabine Asil and Frederick charged towards Hollien, their Blade Auras emitting a brilliant light.

“Taaaaaa!”

-Aura Splash!

From both flanks, Palmer and Merdill connected the attack as well.

“Let Yessen’s wrath be delivered upon you, heretic!”

“I shall exact the Goddess’s punishment!”

From the front and back, Effir and Angelica cast magic swordsmanship techniques.

Boom!

A storm of Aura and Force rained down from all sides.

However, Hollien easily blocked all of their attacks without moving away from her position.

“This is a piece of cake!”

– Spiritual Shield: Sorondi’s Iron Wall!

Dozens of shields circled her like living creatures, deflecting off all the attacks.

She then launched a counterattack.

– Spiritual Flames: Moon’s Brilliance!

Hundreds of light beams bombarded her vicinity.

But they weren’t fazed.

As if everyone had been waiting for that moment, they had already exited out of her range and assumed a defensive position.

They used their weapons to parry, raised their shields, or avoided it completely.

“Now, Felard!”

“Lord Leon Hart!”

They weren’t aiming to cause damage in the first place.

They just needed to create a gap.

Ryu Han-bin and Leon Hart hit the ground.

-Stab!

“Kybriel, let your darkness envelop my fists!”

Like an ambush, they sprinted through the flames, releasing a red Blade Aura and throwing a pitch-black energy punch against their opponent.

Again that time, her spiritual shield moved by itself, blocking the offensive.

Boom!

However, her barriers were smashed.

Urgently, Hollien released more Prana.

“Althea’s Lights!”

Another set of defensive walls emerged from the ground to prevent the two from moving forward.

Feeling sorry, Ryu Han-bin and Leon Hart turned around.

Hollien squinted her eyes.

‘I’m not in a position to relax anymore.’

Until that moment, she had been able to defend their attacks easily, even with low-level fortifications.

However, things had changed since Dea X Apocalypse was activated.

Due to the seals, the power of her spiritual arts had been reduced.

‘I should deal with the seal first…’

She couldn’t break such a strong seal from within.

She had to get out of it first.

She glanced up at the curtain of heat in the sky.

The Ectoplasmic Spear didn’t work.

However, if she wrapped her body with Prana and penetrated through it herself, there was a chance that it would work.

“Preleu, grant me your wings!”

The wings made out of light unfolded on her back.

A blue flash then began to surge throughout her whole body over the canyon.

‘Is she flying?’

Ryu Han-bin shouted after seeing the scene.

“Effir! Time to use what you’ve practiced!”

“Yes!”

The moment she answered, the silver-haired girl somersaulted.

The armor she had been wearing came off, leaving her body naked.

“Special skill! Light-speed undressing!”

How hard had she tried to achieve that?

It matched the title of special skill!

Thanks to that, a strange scene emerged in which a beautiful girl with no clothes stood before the fire pit.

Of course, it didn’t last long.

Immediately, she took on the form of a Wyvern.

“Effir! Takeoff!”

She flew up.

Ryu Han-bin and Leon Hart also jumped quickly and climbed onto her back.

Holding Effir’s silver mane with one hand, Ryu Han-bin clicked his tongue.

“Where else did you learn the word takeoff?”

* * *

A red dome of flames and heat covered the entire canyon.

Hollien continued to rise toward the shroud of the sky.

If she passed through the heat barrier with her full power, she would be able to escape the seal.

But it wasn’t as simple as she thought.

“That’s ridiculous, Hollien!”

Ryu Han-bin and Leon Hart were chasing her from behind at a speed that was a little faster than Hollien.

As the distance between them decreased, Leon Hart started attacking her.

– Ectoplasmic Javelin!

At that rate, Hollien would allow her back to her enemies.

After being forced to change her flight trajectory, Hollien bounced the spiritual spear off.

In the gap, Effir flew closer.

“Felard!”

“I got it!”

Ryu Han-bin held up his Gigant and applied strength to his thighs, solidifying his posture.

He then pulled out as much Blade Aura as he could and cut it to the side!

– Aura Smash!

The red energy blade, which was about 10 meters long, covered Hollien.

She frowned.

“You think such a cheap trick would be enough to kill me?”

– Spiritual Airflow: Protection of Rhamniana!

The blue whirlwind rose and scattered all the red Aura.

Even Han-bin’s ultra-long-ranged Blade Aura, which had instantly killed other Aliens that had level 100, was just a normal attack for her.

At that moment, with her power suppressed, she could still block such an attack.

The problem was that her flight speed slowed down due to it.

“Now, Leon Hart!”

Shouting a command, Ryu Han-bin jumped down from Effir’s back.

Leon Hart performed a spiritual art.

– Spiritual Shield: Sorondi’s Iron Wall!

Four dark brown shields of light were created in the air.

Han-bin stepped on them and maneuvered through the skies.

“Wow!”

Contrary to common usage, Leon Hart’s spiritual art wasn’t for defense.

He used it as footholds.

If Ryu Han-bin launched himself off of Effir with his power, he would crush her spine immediately.

Though he wanted to attack Hollien, he had to avoid killing his allies in the process.

‘I can step on this as much as I want!’

Boom!

Ryu Han-bin became a flash, charing towards Hollien by using the spiritual shields.

He then delivered two oblique slashes as soon as he reached her.

“Taaaaaa!”

It wasn’t a Guideline skill that he had been rewarded with for reaching level 6, but instead a skill that Han-bin had acquired by himself.

Unlike the three skills, which had been imprinted on his soul for decades, it hadn’t been long since he mastered the ‘diagonal slash skill.’

At that point, his level 6 skills would be the least powerful.

Rather, it was more powerful to use the skills that he had practiced for decades.

However, his excellence wasn’t enough to work against Hollien.

That time again, she blocked his offensive with another spiritual shield.

But…

‘The most important aspect of this attack is connecting skill after skill.’

Recalling the teachings of the Templar Lords, Han-bin immediately delivered yet another attack.

Digging through the gap, he attacked Hollien with skills that he had practiced countless times already.

– Crosscut!

A red flash thundered through the skies.

Hollien faltered back, looking dumbfounded.

“… Huh?”

Blood was slowly seeping out of her shoulders.

It was small, but it was the first real wound she had ever sustained since she started fighting.

Her face clearly displayed her rage.

“You little insects!”
