The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide - Chapter 160

Crepin Subjugation Battle (11)

The amount of magical power consumed by the highest-ranking spirit is beyond imagination.

Just by embodying a high-ranking spirit, it feels like all the mana from the body is being sucked out, and the highest-ranking spirit feels like all the mana of the body is being sucked out just from the moment of its descent.

It is not even possible to fully summon the highest fire spirit ‘Theorpis’. All he did was embody the head, spout fire once, and manifest divine protection once.

In terms of time, it would only be less than 10 seconds. That brief moment when the flames radiating from the fortress in the sky split the mansion site in half.

The flames whizzed out and rose high into the night sky.

Everyone on the grounds of the mansion saw the scene.

The Knights Templar and the Imperial Guard were protecting VIPs outside the grounds of the Ross Taylor mansion. And so were the detachments that entered the interior, as well as Princess Fenia and Jenica, who were heading towards the central garden.

A ray of fire sweeps across the grounds of the mansion and reaches into the night sky.

It was clearly visible to the eyes of Saint Clarice, who was leaning against a tree in the central garden and receiving Lacia’s protection, and to the eyes of Tanya, who was sitting in bewilderment with her mug next to Arwen’s body.

The flame was clearly visible in the eyes of Lucy, who was fighting with Mebula with her hair, which had been tied in two pigtails, undone and scratches on her body, and Lortel, who was walking in the central garden, got off the Selaha carriage and looked up at the sky. there was.

A ray of breath that split the mansion burned the entire exterior wall of the central mansion, the spire of the underground laboratory, and spread out into the sky.

Theorpis’ fire burns everything equally.

The same applies to things like the artifacts of the spire of the underground research facility and the beautiful exterior walls of the central mansion, as well as other invisible things.

What’s truly scary about Theorpis’ flame is that it burns away all the magical energy in the area.

Temporarily, all magical power in the central mansion site is transformed into flames and disappears.

As long as humans, the source of magic, remain, it will soon be filled with new magical power… but temporarily neutralizing all magic in the area is significant.

In particular, from the perspective of Crepin, who is receiving magical energy from the outside, the temporary neutralization of all of Mabuler’s magical energy has great significance.

―Kwaaaaang!

―Whaaaaagh!

A crippled crepin was stuck in the area where the flames swept through.

He barely managed to calm himself amid the blazing heat… All the flesh that had been writhing unpleasantly was twisted like a dry twig.

“Wow….”

He had already received a series of shocks that were too much for his body to withstand.

With all of Mevuller’s magical power burned away, Crepin barely managed to pull himself together by coughing up blood.

Bloodshot eyes looked up at Ed with difficulty.

Theorpis’ flame takes away an astronomical amount of magical energy just by manifesting it even briefly.

Ed was also completely devastated by the ring’s recoil and was unable to control himself.

Burning underground research facility.

Ed was kneeling in the heat and was completely unconscious.

If I had to finish it, it would be now. However, Crepin’s body also does not move according to will.

―Kugung Boom!

Stone pillars in the underground facility burned and collapsed. The ground itself has collapsed and received a huge impact, so it will not be long before everyone is crushed to death.

The burning Ross Taylor central mansion soon began to sink as its pillars collapsed.

A loud noise spreads across the night sky, and the magnificent mansion that boasted the grandeur of the Ross Taylor family soon comes to an end.

As the huge mansion collapsed, the rising dust covered the underground research facility.

―Whaaaaaaaa!

As debris from the building covered the area filled with acrid smoke due to the fire, visibility was about to disappear completely.

Crepin gritted his teeth, opened his bloodshot eyes even more, and barely stood up.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!

Crepin barely managed to get up, almost screaming, and somehow raised his left hand.

Mebula’s imprint is still engraved on his withered left hand. If you receive magical energy from Mevuller again, you can fight more.

Mebula responded to the imprint and began to manifest great magical power again in the sky above the mansion.

Theorpis has temporarily burned up the magic of the area, but when Mebula begins to emit power, he can fill the mansion with his magic again. It’s just a matter of time.

However, Lucy even reads Mabuler’s intentions.

―Whaaaaaaaa!

Numerous magic circles appear again centered around Mevuller. It is a magic to block the flow of magical energy to the outside. The internal flow of magic cannot be stopped, but in any case, it is enough to stop the Mevuller’s power from affecting the battlefield.

Mebula’s numerous eyes once again turn to Lucy in the sky.

A girl is brushing off her face covered in dust with her sleeve and fixing her completely loose hair.

It is a monster of human life that even evil spirits cannot easily subdue. The blank and numb eyes are creepy.

The hair tie has blown off, and the sight of my hair blowing in the night wind is annoying. Lucy tied her hair back and concentrated on blocking all of Mebula’s magical power.

“Stop playing tricks.”

A huge amount of magic blooms again, to the point where it is hard to tell where it is coming from in such a large amount. It is an amount comparable to the magic power of Mevuller.

With just one flick of her hand, Lucy’s ice spear with a number in the hundreds was thrust towards Mebula.

Mevuller’s magic power does not come.

As soon as Crepin realized that fact, he got goosebumps. If you stay still in this collapsing underground facility in the center of the burning laboratory, you will be crushed to the ground and die.

Even though my body is completely ruined, I have to somehow get up to the ground.

“Hehe… Heo….”

Even Crepin can’t lose the desire to survive. If you maintain your position full of power and live in a secret struggle, your will to live will become stronger than anyone else’s.

Without any strength, I grabbed one side of the ground with a body filled with only intense pain.

I managed to push myself up through the acrid smoke and dust, but the height of the wall I still had to climb was still far away.

It looks like the facility will collapse before we’re even halfway through, but Crepin doesn’t stop.

How did you survive in this chaos? The situation can be resolved as long as you somehow hold out until Mevuller replenishes your magic power.

So, for now, all you have to do is go to the ground, save your life, and hide anywhere.

If you are alive, opportunities will come. You can’t be caught and killed in a place like this.

With that will alone, Crepin grabbed the cliff and somehow pushed himself up and up again. His actions of trying to climb through the debris are so cruel that they are miserable.

-Park.

However, an arm extends out from the acrid smoke behind it.

The arm stretched out like a devil from hell, grabbed Crepin by the collar behind his back, and threw him to the ground.

Even the few steps I managed to climb through the grueling climb ended up being all in vain.

Crepin fell to the floor of the hall with a crash… Goosebumps appeared all over his body again.

Ed Rosstaylor, who was bleeding from his forehead, maintained consciousness by clenching his teeth even after using a similar level of magical power.

It is a poisonous species, beyond being a cockroach, it is not a human willpower at all.

The recoil caused by the golden phoenix ring does not end with not using magical power. The more magical power is mobilized, the harder the muscles become, the higher the fever, the more consciousness fades.

Even the Yenica Palover had to lie ill for nearly a month after summoning the highest-ranking spirit.

Ed Rosstaylor also dealt with the highest spirits, although on a much smaller scale. Even after consuming such an enormous amount of magic that one wondered if this was even possible, he did not let go of his consciousness until the end.

Crepin felt as if his teeth were grinding. The murderous intent of Ed Rosstaylor, who became covered in blood, is like a curse that will follow him until the day he dies.

“Do it in moderation… you bastard…!”

Eventually, cursing comes out of Crepin’s mouth as he gets sick of it.

His venom is so enormous that it makes you feel awe, but now you can even feel fear.

Fragments from the collapsed pillar flew out and hit the two people. The impact of several rocks hitting Crepin made a loud noise, and Ed Rothtaylor lost his balance and fell to the ground.

However, amid the rising flames and smoke, he stumbles again and gets up, gritting his teeth.

There is absolutely no magical power left.

It’s the same with Crepin and Ed.

If he stayed still, he could collapse and die on the ground. Nevertheless, Ed stumbled and grabbed Crepin by the collar.

Crepin had to use almost all his body strength just to grab that hand and shake it off.

Both Crepin and Ed almost stumbled and lost their balance with just that one hit. But Ed grabs Crepin’s shoulder again and slams his head down with his forehead.

Crepin stumbles backwards and falls off, and Ed climbs on top of him and hits him in the face with his clenched fist over and over again.

The thumping sound echoed for a long time, and as the crepin made a popping noise, one of its molars popped out and rolled on the floor.

Still, Ed didn’t stop and kept punching him in the face. After being beaten like that for a while, Crepin pulls out all the strength he had and pushes Ed’s stomach with his foot, causing him to fall backwards.

Crepin screams, spits out blood, stumbles back to his feet, and steps on Ed’s ankle, breaking it.

When Ed broke his foot with a squeak, Crepin jumped up and strangled Ed.

Crepin’s hand, covered in caked blood, continued to exert increasing pressure.

I’m already experiencing severe headaches, high fever, and chills due to the ring’s recoil. In addition, the acrid smoke rising from the fire interferes with breathing and vision, and Crepin’s hands pressing on his neck makes him even fainter.

“Hehehehe… Hehehehehehe…”

Crepin continues to put pressure on Ed’s neck with an expression that doesn’t seem to tell whether he’s crying or laughing.

“What do you… you bastard… do you understand how hard I struggled to survive…? What? A fugitive?”

Crepin puts more effort into his hands and talks with his bloodshot eyes wide open.

“Don’t judge me by your eyes, you stupid bastard… Don’t insult me when you don’t understand my aesthetics or anything, you bastard…!”

“You… you stupid bastard…”

Ed responds with a growl.

When I picked up a stone I could get my hands on and cut off his hand, the crepin fell backwards, making a roaring sound.

“If you were not a fugitive but a human being with pure malice, you would have had no regrets or regrets.”

The impact caused Crepin’s fingernails to break. It was almost like my hand was being crushed. Ed staggered to his feet, grabbed him by the collar, and drove his fist into his face.

“Why would a guy like that hang such a large portrait of Arwen in the hall of the central mansion?”

Crepin’s pupils trembled greatly again.

On one side of the burning central mansion, the large portrait of Arwen that Ed Rothtaylor saw when he first entered the grounds of the mansion is burning along with the mansion.

Even the portraits of our great ancestors could not occupy that space. Was that an expression of the slightest respect left to Arwen? Or is it guilt?

“You should have taken care of what you did with your own hands. You’re not even a brat. Did you think that if you covered your eyes and pretended not to notice, it would all end up as nothing?”

Crepin blocked Ed’s repeated punches. As he yanked the center of force back, Ed’s battered body rolled on the floor.

Crepin, who had barely recovered, looked back at Ed with bright red eyes.

“Shut up… “Stay still…!”

However, Ed falls and trips on his leg, knocking him down.

Crepin, who rolled on the floor with a loud thud, grabs his tattered collar and tries to get up again.

However , Ed climbed on top of that body again.

As he threw aside the cloak he was wearing, the silk vest he was wearing inside was revealed.

On his chest… there was a feather decoration that Arwen would have given him as a gift. The one that came out of Ed’s room. It was the same as that feather decoration.

Ed Rothtaylor burst out laughing when he saw that. This was the last line of conscience he could not let go until the end.

“Arwen Rothtaylor followed you until the end out of respect and admiration for you. Do you think?”

When Arwen Rothtaylor, who had always followed in his footsteps as Crepin Rothtaylor’s successor, suddenly looked up at his back, what she saw must have been the countless burdens that were oppressing him. Both his

benevolent and corrupted looks were just masks. It’s just that. Underneath all those masks, there is only one miserable fugitive running away under the weight of an enormous burden.

The person who would have noticed that appearance first, more than anyone else, is Arwen Rothtaylor herself.

“That woman is just you. I sympathized with you. You should have known that.”

Crepin made a sound of boiling blood and tried to grab Ed’s neck somehow. But Ed slapped the hand away and grabbed Crepin’s neck.

“It was the one who ruined Arwen like that . It’s you.”

“Shut up…!”

Crepin clenches his teeth and rolls to the side, and Ed’s body is also pushed and rolls.

Crepin, who has somehow regained his body’s freedom, raises his lower body again, and Ed also does so. I gather myself.

Crepin rushes in, dragging his staggering body and slams his shoulder into Ed’s body. Ed falls and rolls a few laps with a loud noise. His physical condition is truly at its limit now. -Understand!

Ed

‘s like that. His eyes caught sight of a staff lying on the ground. There was no point in holding up the staff without magical power.

But Ed’s senses suddenly caught sight of the small feather decoration hanging on the end of the staff.

That was definitely… Ed himself. It was an item from a drawer in Arwen’s room. It was a small decoration stuck between the letters exchanged between Arwen and Ed. At

first, it was treated as a magic engineering item and was also used as a quill… but it was basically an item used only as a decoration.

However, there was a weak thing inside. It is filled with magical power. The magic power, which can be felt even faintly as the spirit’s energy, is definitely… Yenica Palover’s.

Yenica Palover knows Ed’s fighting style better than anyone else.

If it is pushed to the extreme limit, In the end, Ed will use the Ring of Glast to burn off all his magical power.

This is the final means of battle sent by Yenika, who knows this very well.

Yenika’s message can be felt in the flow of mana contained in the feather, albeit a weak one. .

When the situation really gets to the extreme, the scales of victory and defeat are tilted towards the person who has even a single ray of magical power left.

“Now… die…!”

Gritting his teeth, he picked up a large stone and dealt the final blow to Ed. The crepin rushed in to attack.

Ed, who had been lost, gritted his teeth and stood up, grabbing the feather at the end of the cane in his hand.

―Whaaaaaaaa!

The energy of the wind surrounded the crepin.

Crepin’s eyes widen. There should be no more magical power left. It’s strange that he can handle a spirit of that level and still have magic power remaining.

The manifested wind blade splits his shoulder and waist. Blood spurts out.

Then, he gathers the last remaining magical energy to the floor and manifests a spirit consciousness to return the ceremonial dagger to Ed’s hand.

The ceremonial dagger used in various ceremonies of the Ross Taylor family had a flying hawk engraved on it. It was a pattern symbolizing the grandeur of the Ross Taylor family.

That dagger pierced the heart of the matriarch.

―Phew.

-grasp!

The blood surged.

The amount of blood loss was so great that it seemed like there was no more blood left in the body.

―Tap!

The stone Crepin was holding rolled on the floor.

Crepin, who had taken several steps backwards in the center of the burning underground research facility… fell straight to the floor.

Blood spreads across the floor.

“Kuhuh…”

Looking up at the sky… I see Lucy grabbing all of Mebula’s eyes and making them explode.

A night sky filled with all kinds of stars and constellations.

Ed, covered in blood, appears and covers the front.

“You… why… like this…”

Ed doesn’t give a long answer.

“Because the situation is like this, one of the two should have died.”

―Kagan kang!

The dagger that fell out of Ed’s hand hit the floor a few times and rolled away. As it is, Ed slumps and speaks clearly to Crepin.

“Yes. Even though you are a coward and all, you must have been struggling to survive in your own miserable way…

” I’m bleeding… Please save me…” ”

So, I’m not going to ask you if you’re a bad guy, so how can you do that… I’m not going to impose a moral standard… Anyway, this is a problem before that…”

Ed simply affirmed quietly.

There are all kinds of justifications and standards that can be put against an ugly crepin, but Ed doesn’t take them all into consideration.

I just say it more simply.

This wild-like world is all about the jungle. If two people meet on the same path and collide, one of the two will have to end.

“I survive and you die.”

That was the only story.

In the collapsing basement laboratory, my body felt weak and I fell to my knees.

Although his body was completely devastated, he was clearly breathing.

That’s how I survived again. As always.

* * *

As the energy of the summoner who summoned her disappears, Mebula also looks embarrassed.

By manifesting a huge amount of magical power, he destroys all the legal formations that Lucy has implemented and attempts to cover the entire area with his magical power again.

Once again, numerous gremlins attack the mansion, and the weakened tentacles begin to rise up.

The soldiers of the cathedral knights who entered the central mansion, taking advantage of the temporary disappearance of all magical power in the mansion, were taken aback.

However, the gremlins are soon eliminated one by one by the spirit army that attacks them again.

Lucy also doesn’t sit still. Once again, he embodies the highest level of magic and continues to push Mevuller into a corner.

Yenica with an urgent expression appears among the army of spirits covering the sky. Princess Fenia, who entered the central garden riding a spirit with Jenica, headed toward the collapsing underground laboratory without hesitation.

In it, there is a corpse lying down, looking at the sky with unfocused eyes, and a blond boy sitting down next to it.

Yenica and Fenia quickly land in the collapsing underground lab and hold their breath when they see Ed in complete disrepair.

He is already almost unconscious and has finished everything.

The sight of him sitting down next to Crepin’s corpse, his eyes closed amidst the smoke… looks like a pilgrim who has completed his entire destiny.

How did he look through Fenia’s eyes that were able to see through humans?

They first meet in the forest north of Bachelor on the day of the entrance exam, and after all sorts of incidents and accidents, ultimately lead to Crepin’s death.

His life seemed to be depicted at a glance as he ran away from the Ross Taylor family on his own, survived alone until the end, and overcame everything… Fenia couldn’t even breathe.

Was Fenia only a hindrance to his ordeal-filled path? When I think of that… it feels like a stream of fire is creeping up my back.

Watching Jenica quickly run out and hug him by the shoulders… Fenia finally realized.

Ed Rothtaylor has lived a wild life. The numerous trials and the occasional fruits were all just a process of struggling to survive.

How can we not pay respect to that life?

It is only when he sees a completely different person from himself, who has thrown away even his dream of becoming emperor after several trials and failures, that he finally realizes his shame.

Will returns to Princess Fenia’s eyes again. She shouts to Yenika that she must take him out immediately.

Burning mansion site.

The two girls escaped the collapsing underground research facility by riding a spirit, dragging Ed’s battered body.

What you see at the bottom end is Crepin Rosstaylor.

Between the falling rocks, with haggard eyes that no longer felt life, all that remained was the image of a crepin looking up at the collapsing sky.

* * *

“The Rosstaylor family will end like this.”

Princess Selaha, who was looking around the central garden, spoke quietly to Dest.

After briefly checking the internal situation, it seemed that most of those involved were vassals or servants of the Rosstaylor family.

“How to punish the remaining criminals and bring it to an end… I think it will probably have a huge impact on the next competition for the imperial power. A monarch must also know how to appropriately punish those who are disloyal.”

This massacre that took place at the Ross Taylor Mansion was a catastrophe that will likely remain in the history of the imperial family.

Was the fact that I was personally present at the scene of this catastrophe an opportunity given by God or a curse?

Anyway, Selaha quietly looked down at the mansion and thought.

Someone has to take the initiative and sort this situation out.

If you can take the initiative and complete the work well, your abilities will be widely recognized. A truly historic disaster was successfully resolved.

The first thing to do is to arrest all remaining members of the Ross Taylor family and hold them accountable.

The energy of Mebula covering the sky is also weakening. Mebula, who lost her medium with Crepin’s death, gradually loses strength, and eventually Lucy puts more pressure on Mebula.

“It’s going to be busy.”

Seeing that, Selaha turned back.

“Once the imperial army arrives, I will order them to block the entrance to the mansion. Not even a single rat can get out.”

The moon is still high in the sky.

The long night continues further.
