The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide - Chapter 239
Bellbroke Subjugation Battle (7)
A majestic carriage symbolizing the majesty of the imperial family was lying on the side of the road.
The brilliant decorations were already covered in grime and stained with blood. The wheels had come off and were rolling in the surrounding grass and the door was shaking so it looked like it could no longer function as a carriage.
Next to him Selaha Einir Cloel dragging the hem of her dress hid behind the fallen remains of the carriage.
Two of the five knights who were protecting Princess Selaha died and the driver died miserably after being attacked by the monsters.
Princess Selaha frowned glanced at the idling wheels of the carriage and asked the surviving knights of the guard.
“The royal family’s quarters were attacked? “Abama’s safety is at risk.”
yes. That’s right. On our side we were able to survive because there were almost no monsters but I heard that several high-ranking monsters raided the royal residence… ”
Princess Selaha gently closed her eyes opened them and summarized the situation again.
If you look around the corpses of all kinds of monsters are full. Although it was a relatively weak force it was difficult to handle with just four guards.
I somehow managed to maintain my lifeline but the news that the royal family’s quarters had been breached kept getting trampled on my heart.
Eventually Butler Dest who had gathered up the blood-stained rapier and put it away bowed his head politely.
“Looking at Jeon Seo-gu’s arrival it appears that they are somehow maintaining their defense line. but… There was news that Princess Fenia’s guard Claire had died.”
Right… Fenia has lost a powerful ally. The article was always on Fenia’s side… It will have a big impact on the formation of the imperial power… ”
After saying that Selaha looked up at the sky that seemed to embody hell.
“In a situation like this… “I wonder if competition for imperial power is important.”
“What are you going to do? Princess Selaha. Currently there is news that several military bases have been formed near the student plaza and the residential building. “If you join us there you will be safer.”
“You’re talking nonsense Dest. “Abamama’s safety is not guaranteed so are you telling me to run to a safe place first?”
Selaha shook off his collar once and reprimanded Dest.
“You idiot.”
sorry.
“I am a member of the royal family. Even if I have to bleed and die I have to head to the royal residence. “I have to make sure Abama is safe.”
Although we traveled quite a distance by carriage it was not so far that we could not return on foot.
The problem is whether you can overcome the numerous monsters you will encounter along the way.
All of the surviving guards are exhausted and Butler Dest is relatively healthy but there is no way he can deal with so many monsters.
“We’ll have to find some way… ”
It was a moment when Selaha rested her chin and was about to lose herself in thought.
– Bang! Quagagagagagagagag!
– Whaaaaaaaa!
At that moment a loud noise of something falling was heard.
It sounded like something crashing into the grass on a remote road heading toward Gyo-dong. It was directly visible from where Princess Selaha and her party were and there was a spirit in the shape of a large Archaeopteryx rolling on the floor completely devastated.
“Kuhuhuh!”
From there Yenica Palover hugging Ed Rosstaylor tightly rolls down.
Yenika is coughing covered in scratches while holding the head of Ed who has lost consciousness. Although she already looked very exhausted she was still gathering new magical power.
Only then did Princess Selaha look up into the sky again. A huge number of flying monsters chasing Yenika caught her eye.
The sky above Aken Island is now almost like hell. There are hundreds or even thousands of monsters floating in the sky attacking people at random.
Yenica Palover broke through it on her own. Even for a spiritist who wields hundreds of spirits it was an extremely reckless act.
The wind spirit that fell to the ground was covered in wounds and was barely breathing.
In the meantime it tried to protect Yenika by raising its wings with difficulty.
“Princess Selaha! Additionally monsters attack! “You need to hide in the carriage right now!”
“I will break the glass! “Stay inside the overturned carriage!”
The soldier urgently raised his voice. Certainly the number of flying monsters chasing Yenika was unusual.
From the giant bat gremlin chimera to the monster… Each one takes on a bizarrely twisted shape. Just looking at her scared her but Jenica held her head high regardless.
Holding Ed tightly with one hand he extends the other hand into the air.
A spirit in the form of a turtle with a huge shell rises up. When I looked at the sky and unleashed my magical energy the monsters were swept away by the huge wave of light that spread out.
Yenika who had wiped out dozens of monsters at once lowered her head while taking a deep breath.
There was no chase after that perhaps because we entered the path filled with trees.
As the spirits disappeared one by one there was only a girl with her head down hugging the unconscious boy.
I… case… ”
The soldiers who were watching the scene looked dumbfounded. Looking at the fact that she was wearing a school uniform under her shawl even though she was still a student her strength was unbelievable.
But Yenika who was out of breath perhaps from exhaustion… Even her own body was having a hard time controlling itself. She was half cradling Ed’s head with her weary eyes wary of her surroundings like a cornered beast.
It was at that point that my eyes met with Princess Selaha.
Princess Selaha gently raised her arm to dismiss the soldiers and then slowly moved towards Yenika.
Yenika hugged Ed tightly like a hedgehog full of thorns and looked at Selaha with aggressive eyes.
In the current situation where all order has collapsed we cannot trust anyone carelessly.
In particular Princess Selaha is someone who has been hostile to Ed for a long time. Yenica does not easily harbor malice toward others but in a situation where she has to protect Ed who has become a complete wreck even the slightest threat cannot be taken lightly by her.
“The man in your arms… Is it Ed Rosstaylor? ”
Princess Selaha is also not in a normal state.
He is a person who would be frowned upon by even a speck of dirt on his collar but now he is covered in dust trying to survive on that limb.
Nevertheless Princess Selaha spoke arrogantly as if she had no intention of bending her noble appearance.
“I don’t know what happened but you look like you were seriously injured.”
closely… “Please don’t come.”
“Don’t come any closer…” ? haha… Now that the situation is like this things like you are giving me orders. Well order has collapsed like this… “It would be a chance for a genius to rival me.”
Princess Selaha laughed as if she was helpless but Yenika did not let down her guard.
“As expected you were the plaything I saw at Ross Taylor’s mansion back then. Are you still harboring a pitiful fleeting love affair? Indeed his skills seem to be great but… “You should have chosen a man who fits the theme.”
“… ”
“It wouldn’t be wise to be hostile towards me… “Does the situation get better by glaring at me like that?”
Princess Selaha’s arrogance remains even in a situation where the world is collapsing.
Strongly maintained self-esteem will never be destroyed.
“Yes if I put my mind to it it wouldn’t be a problem to try something on my own. Now the order on Aken Island has collapsed and I no longer have as much power as you. So are you going to murder me now? Are you thinking of giving it a try?”
To be honest… “I think it’s good.”
From the beginning Yenika didn’t care what happened to Princess Selaha.
Eventually Yenica closed her eyes once lowered her head and spoke.
“If this continues Ed will die.”
The bleeding of Ed in my arms is unusual.
Although Yenica has great strength she has no talent for healing wounds. In a situation like this where the entire school is being destroyed she has no idea where to turn to save Ed.
Even if we have decided on where to go we don’t know if we can get Ed there intact.
Before she knew it Yenika was shedding tears.
“You may not know Princess but I know because I have been watching you for a long time. Even though Ed was pessimistic about her life and was on the verge of death she held on to her spirit and somehow managed to survive.”
The venomous wariness that was first seen soon subsided and even Princess Selaha became slightly embarrassed.
“It’s too much for Ed who struggled so hard to survive to die in vain like this. “Then it doesn’t work.”
As the situation is urgent it is impossible to just sit there and sob while looking at the dying Ed.
We need to take action as quickly as possible and find a way to save Ed. That’s why Yenika gritted her teeth and endured it.
However human emotions are not something that can be controlled as one wishes.
I pressed my lips tightly and pressed down on Ed’s wound to stop the bleeding but… Nevertheless tears like chicken droppings fell from her eyes.
“Even if other people are like that Ed shouldn’t die like this in vain. For someone who gritted his teeth to survive more than anyone else to die like this… “It’s not possible.”
That’s why Yenika prayed. If God is listening I hope he saves this man.
There are many people living in this wide world like a swarm of ants.
I know very well that I am not the main character on that huge stage.
Like other people he is just an extra who passes away with his story only in his heart.
There are many instances where the hard work we put in is not rewarded.
Not everything that you wish for will come true.
While there are people who gain an unreasonable amount of things there are also people who cannot achieve even a single wish they have desired throughout their lives.
Jenica understands better than anyone else that not everything in the world works rationally and rationally.
Still isn’t a man named Ed Rosstaylor a person who could die so easily?
Yenica Palover knows well how intense and weighty the years of his struggle to survive were.
If there is a God his wishes should not be ignored. In the first place this man didn’t ask for much.
He just sat in front of the bonfire every night staring blankly at the crackling flames and whispering to himself.
I hope you can survive tomorrow safely.
Every night I sit in my pajamas with my knees hugging the back of my cabin door… This is Yenika who listened to Ed’s repetition. She always thought the same thing when she heard Ed repeat that.
It is not a grandiose and lofty wind. It’s just a natural wish to survive tomorrow.
Who in the world could say that such a presumptuous and lofty wish?
“Please save Ed.”
I kept my lips tightly shut with determination but I couldn’t help the tears flowing from my eyes. Nonetheless Yenica speaks straight to Princess Selaha looking at her with equal eyes.
“I don’t care if you criticize me for a thousand things and I don’t care if you insult me by calling me a plaything or something. just… Now I… I don’t know what to do. Because everything else doesn’t really matter… ”
“… ”
“Ed please… Help me… ”
If you were the princess of a country you might be able to find other means.
Before I knew it the blood flowing from Ed Rosstaylor’s body was soaking Yenika’s school uniform. Nevertheless Yenika didn’t care and held Ed’s head tightly in her arms.
Princess Selaha swallowed dry saliva for a moment and shed a ray of cold sweat.
I shook my head for a moment and then looked at Ed who was bleeding.
This is the boy who sat across the table and said Fenia’s name without paying any attention to how much it was fried and fried.
The sight of the man who seemed as strong as a rock lying in complete disrepair creates a sense of discord.
It feels like I’m seeing a side of myself that I couldn’t normally see and a strange sense of immorality arises. This man who seemed to be able to stand firm no matter what the world throws at him collapses bleeding in the face of this crisis.
perhaps… Now… Couldn’t this be this man’s lifesaver?
Even in this situation I hold my tongue because I can’t help but think such calculating thoughts but I don’t feel ashamed because it is proof that I am maintaining my composure.
“Dest!”
When Selaha raised her voice and called the head deacon’s name he quickly ran out and looked at Ed’s body.
Yenika who was holding Ed’s face tightly relaxes her hands and his face covered in blood is revealed.
Dest took his pulse and assessed his wounds and bleeding. Then he frowned and reported to Selaha.
“There are traces of Aspect magic containing dark red magical power left here and there on the body. It looks like you’ve been fighting an opponent who uses at least high-level magic. Even simple physical injuries are serious and won’t last long if left untreated.”
When Jenica heard those words the color disappeared from her face but Princess Selaha regained psychological stability by swallowing dry saliva once more.
“From my perspective whether this man lives or dies… “It doesn’t really matter!”
Let me just say that for now.
When I look down at Ed’s blood-covered face a feeling of annoyance fills my head… Princess Selaha closed her eyes tightly and spoke again with difficulty.
“Besides it won’t be easy to find medical personnel when the entire university is in chaos. “It looks like the royal family’s dormitory is in chaos right now and there must have been hundreds of casualties in both the student square and the residential building so there won’t be any medical personnel left anywhere.”
“… ”
“Not only that right now the dragon in the sky is running rampant and the monster tribe is committing massacre… Movement is not free. To think that you would be able to receive appropriate treatment in this situation… It’s arrogance. Even I a member of the royal family am neglecting the large and small scratches on my body… Is it possible to somehow save this man?”
Selaha took a deep breath and then with difficulty reported to Yenika.
“Give up this man’s life! Rather than obsessing so much about useless things… ! rather… !”
– Push!
At that moment blood flowed out again from the wound on Ed’s body.
Although most of the power of Aspect Magic ‘Instant Death’ was avoided the wounds from the remaining aftermath were all over Ed’s body. The wounds were opened by the curse of dark red magic on his body and blood flowed out several times.
A ray of fresh blood spattered on Selaha’s face as he looked down at Ed’s condition from up close.
Princess Selaha startled looked down with wide eyes and quickly grabbed the open wound with her bare hands.
Ed’s blood which had flowed out was staining the hem and sleeves of her dress but it reflexively splattered out of her body.
“What are you doing? Without tying up the wound! “Do you think that if you stay blank that’s it?!”
“… Oh wow?!”
Yenika is so shocked that she tears the hem of her skirt. As she did she bandaged Ed’s wound and held back the blood that was flowing out of her.
Even as she watched the noble royal family’s dress which could not be bought for ten million gold stained with dark red blood Princess Selaha with a bewildered look on her face pressed Ed’s wounds together with Yenika.
Dest who was watching was shocked and joined in but for some reason Princess Selaha did not lose strength in her arms.
As the situation becomes more urgent my heart is pounding and my pupils are dilating. Nevertheless while pressing down on her Ed’s wounds Princess Selaha made a dumbfounded expression as if she was dumbfounded by her own actions.
The same was true for Yenika who was looking at Selaha like that.
*I organize the information I have collected in my clouded mind.
My body feels like it’s on fire due to bleeding all over my body but the accidents never stop.
To think means to be alive. And if you are alive you have to think.
Even though I was struggling under the pain of the curse I never lost consciousness.
The thought that I would never be able to open my eyes again was dominating my mind as soon as I surrendered myself to my blurred consciousness even for a moment.
So I think. I think and think again.
How did Sylvania Robester a character from long ago appear in this bachelorette now?
The first possibility that comes to mind is aspect magic.
Aspect magic at its peak gives you the power to manipulate even time and space as your own.
However I have never heard of a rumor that there is such a thing as magic that allows you to skip time and go to the future.
This applies not only to my game knowledge but also to the magic knowledge I learned after coming to this world.
However it would not be surprising if Sylvania Robester the pioneer of aspect magic discovered magic that transcends time.
It’s a magic that doesn’t end with simply observing the future but jumps into the future.
If such a thing were theoretically possible… So why did Sylvania become afraid of the future itself? If you’re afraid of the future shouldn’t you even skip that future?
After my thoughts reached that point I was able to picture the future as seen by Sylvania to some extent.
… It is said that Sylvania became a madman because she was afraid of the dark future that would one day come.
Perhaps the future observed by Sylvania was a distant darkness with no end in sight…
But the fear of the dark… It must have been the same way back in the old days.
The fear of the immense darkness must have weighed down Sylvania the day she first observed the future using aspect magic.
However Sylvania at that time was not engulfed by the fear of darkness.
Rather the period of struggle to escape the promised end was longer.
If so there is no explanation for Sylvania’s now completely crazy appearance. If the Sylvania of that time has jumped back in time to the present shouldn’t she still be the same as she was in the past when she tried to fight against the darkness without giving in?
However Sylvania who now occupied the Trix building was completely consumed by the fear of darkness and went crazy.
They were shouting that they should all be killed by Belbroke right here and now as they would face death by writhing in fear forever.
I feel like the middle process has been lost.
Why did Sylvania go crazy?
Simply swept up in the unknown madness of Aspect magic?
Even when she had a deeper understanding of aspect magic than anyone else in the world wasn’t she struggling to escape from a future of endless darkness? Does it really make sense for her to become a madman so easily?
And what is her ultimate goal after going crazy?
If the goal is really to release Bellbroke and let everyone die together…
then… What is the identity of the chain that is currently wrapped around that bellbroke?
There are so many questions that remain. The truth is that things that need to be resolved are not yet visible… It clearly remains.
It tells us that a solution can be found.
There is something left that is not fully known… This suggests that there may still be a solution that is not yet visible.
So never give up on surviving. Even if intense pain surges through my entire body as if it were burning I will never accept death.
It is the final ordeal of a long long journey. There are only two victory conditions left.
Grabbing the bellbroke.
Capturing Great Sage Sylvania.
Even if we leave the former to Taily… The latter must be resolved entirely on my own.
Although there were many changes Tailley had the minimum strength to cut out Velbroke’s heart.
A member who defeated Belbroke together in the government. Ayla Zix Clevious Elvira Lortel Fenia.
These six members were the ones who took on their respective roles and completely defeated Bellbroke. If at least these six people meet the minimum conditions theoretically we could somehow solve the problem.
I would like to securely add a few more people but the situation is like this so just meeting the minimum conditions is too tight. I have no choice but to trust Tailley.
Even if we leave it at that we still have to think about the last member who will capture Sylvania.
Trying to conduct a one-on-one subjugation war is reckless.
〈Sylvania’s Failed Sword Saint〉 They are extras who failed to stand on the stage of the final subjugation in the affair… Nevertheless those who have their own armed forces must be united.
There is a difficult condition in which Taily must gather all the maximum power possible without affecting as much as possible in subduing Velbroke.
It has nothing to do with the main story of ‘Sylvania’s Failed Sword Saint’.
It has to be people who originate from my story that I was able to create while living as Ed Rothtaylor.
Maybe what I lived through while struggling was… . Was it for right now?
In such an exquisite situation even in the midst of intense pain a ray of laughter blooms.
Let’s give it a try. Damn this world.
As I clenched my teeth and held on to my senses my consciousness began to return little by little.
that… De’s departure… . but… Living building… !”
Yenica’s vaguely familiar voice is heard. As she slowly lifts her heavy eyelids her bangs soaked in black and red blood obscure her vision.
My hearing slowly returned and this time I could fully hear Princess Selaha’s voice.
“It may be difficult to move to the living area. In the first place this body had to go to the royal quarters! “With the royal family’s quarters completely breached and we don’t even know what happened to Abama and Fenia’s lives it’s unreasonable to ask them to go somewhere else!”
“Then…” “Is there a minimum number of medical personnel in the royal residence?”
“If you survive… There must be… That is if you survive. In the first place there is nothing that can be completely guaranteed in a situation like this! If you want my cooperation you too should head to the royal residence! If there are any medical personnel alive take responsibility and let this man live! “I can promise you that!”
Yenika was listening to Princess Selaha while holding her breath.
At that moment I sneezed and forced a sound.
“Eh ed… ! Ed!”
Yenika looked startled and lowered her head towards me to check my condition.
I took a deep breath and struggled to speak.
“Royal family…accommodation… To the royal family’s lodgings… go..
This was my decision.
At those words Princess Selaha blushed and looked down at me.
“It is indeed a wise decision even in a half-asleep state! Did you hear? Didn’t this man himself say this to you? It is right to do what I think! “There is nothing to worry about!”
Although I was in a dazed state I heard clearly.
now… If what Princess Selaha said is true… She had to act according to her opinion.
“Ed Rosstaylor! After all no matter what you admit that what I say is right! Yes that’s right! Now look carefully and remember… I will be the savior of your life. “I owe you my life so I must remember it!”
painting… Nia… ”
“… what?
Fenia Elias Cloel was the minimum member required to be included in Tailley’s Belbroke subjugation party.
“Princess Fenia… I have to survive… !”
also… ! It’s Fenia… !!!!! I really… !! “I can’t survive!!!”
While clutching my wound tightly Princess Selaha screamed as if she was truly fed up.
My head throbbed and rang from the sudden high-pitched sound.
