Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 104 Time to Counterattack
“That is…” Rhys looked in astonishment at the jungle that had suddenly appeared on the top of the building. Not only him, but also Director Krall and those who were downstairs preparing to enter Greenworth were also there.

"The Book of No Thought? Why would it be there?" They were all shocked.

As members of the kingdom's high command, they all knew the truth behind the magical anomaly incident half a month ago, and they also recognized the lost containment object.

"Summon Hamrell! Quickly!" Rhys immediately ordered his men to inform Hamrell, the director of the Rhinek General Bureau.

At this moment, Greenworth, who was at the foot of the building and ready to enter to rescue the students, looked at the huge, writhing branches above him with a furrowed brow.

Just then, shouts came from behind.

"headmaster!"

He turned around and saw that it was Taylor, the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Red Thistle.

Taylor ran over, stopped, and gave a perfect military salute.

"Please let me participate in this rescue operation."

“Taylor, I understand how you feel, but you’re not a sorcerer, and your body isn’t suited for this mission,” Greenworth said.

“No,” Taylor said, her eyes filled with deep regret. “The students were able to attend this opening ceremony because I agreed to the organizers’ request. If it weren’t for me, the children wouldn’t have been able to.”

He took a deep breath and looked at Greenworth with unwavering determination: "If I cannot accomplish something in this operation, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. So, General, please grant me my request!"

Greenwald looked at him, then finally sighed and looked at the captain of the Royal Knights' assault team standing to the side.

"Go and give him a set of equipment."

Inside the building.

After the twilight merged into Caesar's body, a stream of light appeared around him, completely enveloping him. When the light faded, a tall figure clad in armor appeared in the spot.

The armor is purplish-black in color, nearly two meters tall, with a tight-fitting shape. Its surface resembles the night sky, with flowing starlight. The tower-shaped helmet has a single horn on top, consistent with the shape of the true form of the moon. A magical shawl hangs down from the left shoulder, like flowing night.

This is a unique skill for those who wield a sword, [Oath Armed]. Once activated, the combined strength of the sword spirit and the host will increase exponentially, and through practice, they will achieve unexpected combat power.

Caesar raised his hand, and a wisp of burning black flame ignited on his palm. The next moment, it transformed into a cross-shaped, purplish-black longsword covered in cracks, which was the sword form of Twilight Moon.

The beast-like demon before him had taken shape, transforming into a wolf demon covered in brown fur. The berserk attributes granted to him by the beast transformation spell were taking effect, but at this moment, facing Caesar, he felt an unparalleled pressure.

"I have to tell my companions that something unexpected has happened here!" That was the only thought in his mind.

He stepped back with his left foot, then his entire abdomen swelled up, and he spewed out a thick fog that enveloped the surrounding area.

He immediately tried to escape while the thick fog obscured his vision, but before he could turn his head, a sword light sliced ​​through the fog, cutting him in two at an angle before he could even react.

Before his severed body could fall to the ground, a subsequent sword flash arrived, and amidst the gushing blood, his body collapsed into fragments.

With a swing of his longsword, Caesar's imposing aura dispersed the thick fog as he strode to the scattered limbs on the ground.

"Something seems wrong."

Even after a person transforms into a demon, their spirit should exist for a period of time after death before disappearing. However, he could not sense any spiritual presence from the corpse in front of him; the spirit vanished instantly after death.

It was as if the other person was never a real person from the beginning, but a puppet being manipulated, or perhaps, this was not his true self at all.

something wrong.

He was thinking, but then the voice of Twilight Moon started shouting in his head.

"Master! Master was so amazing just now! I'm so excited to be able to fight as one with you again! Master, Master, who are we going to kill now? Master!"

“Quiet,” Caesar said. “Keep quiet in combat mode. I told you this six hundred years ago.”

The moon stopped talking, and Caesar could imagine its tightly closed mouth.

Looking around, it was completely covered by jungle, with fragments of the building's concrete walls and interior decorations scattered everywhere, and a corridor could still be barely discerned.

"Let's deal with the immediate problem first."

"Huhu."

Leon, panting heavily, hid behind a branch. His limbs were weak, and his chest felt like it was on fire. "They...they didn't catch up, did they?"

Tess, also breathing heavily, asked anxiously.

"Shh!" Leon glared at her and made a shushing gesture. Celie, who had escaped with them, immediately covered her panting mouth.

It was quiet all around, except for the sound of the branches and leaves rustling.

After these branches suddenly appeared and changed the surrounding environment, they separated from the thugs. Although they didn't understand how these things appeared, it was safer than staying with those monsters. All the students who could react quickly scattered and ran away.

Leon is currently with Tess and Selyl.

After waiting for a long time without hearing any dangerous sounds, they collapsed to the ground.

"These things must be spells created by outsiders to rescue us!" Tess guessed.

"That's wonderful! We're finally saved!" Leon said, patting his chest.

"But Caesar, he...he..."

Sitting to one side, Celiah, her voice trembling, covered her face and sobbed.

"He died because he was going to switch places with me. It was me, it was me who killed him, it was all my fault."

Tess and Leon exchanged a glance and then lowered their heads.

They never imagined that one day they would face such a problem, and see their friends suddenly die in front of them.

Life is sometimes so fragile.

At this point, there was nothing they could do; they couldn't even guarantee their own lives.

Leon felt a tightness in his chest, so he clutched his chest and took deep breaths to relieve the oppressive feeling.

But then a fishy, ​​foul smell entered my nostrils.

He looked outside and saw a blood-red, wolf-like eye staring straight at him.

A beast-like monster, nearly four meters tall, had appeared behind them at some point, baring its mouthful of sharp teeth at them.

Screams rang out, and the three of them scrambled to their feet and ran, but Celie tripped and fell to the ground, whereupon a claw slapped her down and pinned her body.

“Ceril!” Tess cried out in terror.

Selir screamed as the beast seemed to punish them for their escape, grabbing her hands and hoisting her up, raising its claws to sever Selir's legs.

chapped.

But the next moment, it was his own head that snapped off.

A sword blade pierced his chest and flicked upwards, slicing the headless beast-like corpse in two.

Selyl screamed as she fell, only to be caught by the purplish-black figure.

She had just recovered from her shock and stared wide-eyed at the tall savior in front of her, but before she could say a word, he suddenly swung his arm and threw her far away.

As if given a command, the branches and vines in front of her all parted, and a ray of sunlight suddenly pierced through Celie's eyes. At this moment, she was actually thrown out of the building and her body was hundreds of meters in the air.

Her face turned pale instantly, and she screamed as she fell freely downwards.

But a vine lashed out and wrapped around her waist as she fell, like a bungee cord, ultimately suspending her about a meter above the ground.

"A child has come down!"

The people surrounding the building immediately swarmed forward and untied Celia from the vines.

The moment Celia's feet touched the solid ground, her eyes rolled back and she fainted instantly.
