Chapter 58: Summoning Magic Chanters

* On the evening of December 15, 6186, at 12:20.20 PM, at the northern part of the Holy Academy

The winter night came quickly. The cool wind blowing across the wilderness swept over his body, causing his body temperature to drop rapidly. Oak wrapped himself in his magic robe, but even though this was a jungle, he could not resist the extreme cold that seemed to be seeping into his body.

The magic of summoning monsters requires some time to prepare. During this period, the caster of summoning magic is most vulnerable to attack. This is also the reason why the two girls were not attacked directly before. However, this is not a problem, because the target this time has not discovered us, so we can concentrate on summoning monsters. It would be even better if we can wait until the target falls asleep before attacking.

A hooded woman wrapped in a magic robe came before Oak.

Noticing his companion approaching, Oak asked in a low voice.

"Are you ready?"

"You're the only one missing."

"Alright, I'll prepare now, ◆●△, ◆●●, □■——『Silver Wolf Summon』."

After reciting the lengthy spell, three silver wolves, each two meters long and one meter tall, appeared in front of Oak. Whether in terms of speed or agility, the silver wolves were outstanding among the monsters of the same level. In addition, the three silver wolves could cooperate with each other, and the threat was raised to another level. For ordinary warriors, a group of silver wolves was simply a nightmare.

Oak reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The drawback of summoning magic was that it not only took a long time to chant, but also consumed a lot of magic power, which was a huge burden on the magic caster himself. Just to summon three silver wolves, half of Oak's magic power was consumed.

Looking at the three silver wolves in front of him that emitted a fishy smell, Oak thought for a moment, then continued squatting in the bushes and raised his staff again to chant.

"△◆●, ▽□◆, ●△◆——『Summon the Salamander』."

After chanting again, Oak's body shook, and he did not fall to the ground directly with the help of his companions. It was still too difficult for him to use the second-level summoning magic continuously. At least now he had no magic power left.

"Is there really any need to waste mana like this? Without magic potions, it'll take at least several hours to recover, right?"

"That scythe warrior is too threatening. I wouldn't be safe if I didn't summon more monsters."

"It's all because of you, Oak."

"I hope so."

After saying something like a prayer, Oak stood up and glanced at all the monsters present.

"Five silver wolves, two fire lizards, one evil eye, and one puppet golem... their magical abilities are a bit lacking."

"That warrior is the only one in the main battle, right? The healer only needs to use the evil eye to interfere."

"Even an Imperial squadron could easily defeat such a force. Oak, you're overthinking it."

“Hmm—”

Facing his companions' reproach, Oak let out a long breath, pressed his hand down, signaling for silence, and then turned to look at his target - who was not alarmed.

His companions also noticed that the target was not moving.

As if mocking him, his companion let out a silly laugh.

"They don't even have the common sense to take turns keeping watch outdoors. It seems they're just used to being pampered by their noble status."

"Don't say that. Let's get started. First, have the Silver Wolves, who are the lightest, surround the tent. Then have the Salamanders and Golems follow. The Evil Eye fly high up and wait."

""""yes.""""

Without any hindrance, the monsters moved to the corresponding positions as Oak said.

If there is no reaction at this step, there should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Oak breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was indeed a little neurotic.

Raise your hand and swing it down heavily - this is the predetermined attack slogan.

"Ouch——"

The silver wolves lying in ambush were the first to attack, rushing into the tent without delay and tearing the tent apart in just a moment. The attack of the silver wolves, which were as high as level 12, would make even normally trained warriors lose their direction in an instant.

"Isn't this easy?"

"That's right, these nobles are too relaxed."

Watching the monster rush into the tent smoothly, Oak's companions began to chat casually, but -

"'Round Dance Slash'!"

“Ah!”

A clear female voice resounded through the darkness, accompanied by the silver wolf's mournful howl.

A giant scythe elf, wearing clothes that did not look like combat attire at all, appeared in the center of the silver wolf's attack. Next to it was a silver wolf that had died from being hit in the throat by the Round Dance Slash.

Because the silver wolves rushed into the tent at the same time, the remaining four also suffered varying degrees of damage. Oak was sure that if there were not enough silver wolves to share the damage, at least three of them would have been killed instantly by the giant scythe.

"What!"

"how is this possible!"

"Salamander, attack!"

Even in the dark, companions can clearly recognize what is happening. There is a wonderful sense of connection between the summoned creature and its master, so companions can clearly know the extent of the injury suffered by the summoned creature.

The fire lizard, upon receiving the order, spewed out flames as thick as a bucket, wrapping up the giant sickle elf that jumped out, and at the same time igniting the surrounding dead trees that were affected.

Seeing their target engulfed in flames, Oak's companions breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even a knight in the Empire wouldn't be immune to being hit by a level 14 Salamander, but that girl is very high level, so at most she'll just lose her combat effectiveness."

"Ah, knights are usually fighters of level 7-12. It would be really difficult for them to withstand that kind of flames."

But at this moment, a voice completely different from that of his fellow Oaks sounded.

"[Iron Wall Grant], [Speed ​​Up], [Strength Boost], [Power Grant], [Multiple Attribute Enhancement]."

Countless lights of auxiliary magic rushed into the flames, and the slightly childish voice that sounded this time, if Oak remembered correctly, should be that of the blond healer.

"Thank you, little Ella!"

“Ouch!”

The elf girl, completely unharmed, rushed out of the flames and before the fire lizards could react, she jumped and harvested their heads with the beautifully decorated scythe in her hand.

“You’re okay?!”

"Hey, that speed and agility are completely different from what you showed before!"

"And that sickle, it actually cut through the fire lizard's skin with one strike, it must be a magical weapon!"

"Oak, think of a solution!"

"I know! Let the evil eye interfere with the healer. Without the healer's help, let the golem and the silver wolf entangle the elves together. We will always win."

"No, no problem! Evil Eye, attack!"

Upon receiving the order, the Evil Eye flapped its wings and dropped from the high altitude where it had been waiting to land in front of the golden-haired healer, whose head was only visible in the tent.

The Evil Eye is a monster whose main body is an eye. The wings and tail growing next to the eyeball serve the central eyeball with a diameter of one meter. Generally speaking, the Evil Eye, which is good at mental magic, is the natural enemy of the magic caster. This is because the Evil Eye's "mental shock" is a natural magic that does not require charging. Once it hits the target, it will cause the target to enter a short state of dizziness. The magic caster needs to chant time to cast magic, so if there is an Evil Eye on the field, it will be difficult for the magic caster to exert its strength.

But unfortunately, this little blond healer is a character that does not require a chanting process - and he is not a pure healer yet.

""puck"."

At a speed only slightly slower than that of the giant scythe elf that seemed to be dancing among the monsters, the rapidly moving ice ball mercilessly hit the evil eye's eyeball.

“Chichi!”

The Evil Eye howled in pain and fell to the ground. "Psychic Shock" flew indiscriminately everywhere. The demon's wings and pointed tail swept continuously, completely destroying the entire tent. At the same time, the entire picture of the battlefield was exposed.

“It’ll hurt a bit, but since it’s a summoned creature, it shouldn’t be a problem… Hehe!”

Under the gaze of Oak, whose mouth was so big that it seemed to be able to fit an egg, the blond healer waved the staff in his hand that emitted dazzling light and hit the Evil Eye hard as it kept rolling on the spot. After just a few jumps, the Evil Eye lost its fighting ability. Although it did not die, it was in a state of fainting.

At the same time, on the other side, the battle between the giant sickle elves and the golems and silver wolves was also decided. Although the elves spent some effort in dealing with the golems with amazing defense, they eventually turned the golems into limbless puppets by cutting off their joints. As for the silver wolves that were injured in advance, they became victims in the initial battle.

The elves completely crushed the silver wolves in terms of speed and agility. If it weren't for the golem, Oak would even think that the elves were not serious at all when dealing with the silver wolves.

"O-Ok! What now?!"

The companions shouted anxiously to Oak. The annihilation of the monsters also meant that they had completely underestimated the opponent's strength, and from the initial response, the opponent must have discovered them a long time ago.

"What else can we do? Run!"

“Yes… yes!”

Picking up the staff, Oak looked at the two girls behind him who seemed to already know where they were, and ran away from the girls.

boom.

The ground, which was originally empty, suddenly exploded, and the raised mud flew directly onto Oak's face. Oak and his group stopped while fleeing, and looked at the deep pit that had exploded one meter in front of them. After a second of silence, someone made a sound of swallowing saliva in his throat.

Oak gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words, searching his mind for some magic that could blast the ground apart at this distance.

"It's... it's a third-tier, ultra-long-range magic, the 'Spear of Magic'..."

"You're kidding! No, this kind of magic can only be cast once! There's still a chance of running away now!"

boom.

The companion who was speaking had just taken a step when the same deep pit exploded only a fist away from his companion.

In other words, if the other party had wanted to hit them, they would have exploded like this deep pit long ago. The reason they didn't do so was probably because of the academy rules - or perhaps they wanted to carry out post-war humiliation.

"Watch out for the distance... Is that what you mean? Karan knew it would fail. Damn it."

Gnashing their teeth in hatred, Oak and his companions stopped where they were and did not move, not even daring to wipe the sweat off their faces, waiting for the fate of the hunters who had now become their "target".

Chapter 59 Intermission

* On the evening of December 15, 6186, at 12:21.47 PM, at the northern part of the Holy Academy

"So what are you going to do with us?"

After Oak finished speaking, he closed his lips tightly, looking unwilling.

Just after being captured by the two students, he and his companion were brought here by one of them, a healer who called herself Ella - sitting in a circle back to back in front of the destroyed tent.

Because during the previous battle, the fire lizards' breath affected the area nearby, causing the winter dead trees to be ignited, so now Ella is summoning water elements from a distance to extinguish the flames, leaving only Angelini here to guard the five orcs whose staffs were taken away.

Angelica waved her hand nonchalantly.

"I can't tell you the details. We'll talk about it after Lotte-chan and Ella-chan come back. But if you want to escape, you can always try, okay?"

"whispering sound."

Oak curled his lips. As a magic caster, his physical fitness was not even as good as that of an ordinary warrior, not to mention that the person standing in front of him was an elf who should have practiced nature magic, but was far more agile and fast than the silver wolf. Trying to escape from her was as difficult as fighting the academy's new instructor, Camisia. What's more, the medium of magic - the staff - was taken away by the healer.

When we came here before, some of our companions wanted to escape, but before they could be sniped by the high-level magic caster, they were knocked unconscious and tied to a tree by the elf named Angelica.

"That Lotte is probably the leader of your team, right? She's able to continuously unleash three levels of 'Spear of Magical Principle'. I never thought there'd be anyone else in the academy who could do that besides Headmaster Fariaruchi-sama."

"Farialuci? Oh, you mean Iris-senpai? Little Lotte is no match for Iris-senpai, you know?"

Angelique placed her entire body weight on the sickle stuck in the ground, then raised her index finger to support her chin with a thoughtful expression.

"And that wasn't a third-tier 'Spear of Magic', it was a magic weapon attack. I remember... it was called 'Armor-Piercing Bullet', right?"

"Armor-piercing bullets? What kind of magic is that? I've never heard of it... And how could a magic device possibly have that kind of power? The magic devices on the continent right now are only equivalent to first-level magic at best."

Oak's face was filled with shock, and he even forgot that he was tied up.

There is actually a magic device that can exert power equivalent to that of third-level magic. If the military knew about this, it would definitely cause a sensation. And judging from what happened just now, it is still a type of super-long-range magic. If used in war - you can even use that kind of long-range attack to snipe the enemy's main general without fighting and win.

At that time, a summoning magic caster like me would be useless. Simply put, all my efforts in this life would be wasted, and I would be reduced to an adventurer, relying on completing quests to make a living.

"That's the only magical device in the entire continent. Hmm—it's called Oak, right? Oak, you'd better not think about it. If Ella-chan finds out, she'll definitely be angry. If Ella-chan gets angry, Miss Camisia will probably take care of it..."

Thinking of the consequences of those who harassed Ella in the past, Angeline smiled unnaturally. Being caught by Camisia might be a better outcome. What if those demon students knew that their demon king was treated like this...

"Only one... That's good... That's good."

Upon hearing that there was only one in the entire continent, Oak couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and vowed to prevent the military from learning about this, otherwise his job would be lost. Oak looked back at his companions who were still awake and found that they all nodded with the same expression as him, apparently holding the same opinion.

After calming down, Oak immediately realized the new problem.

"Wait a minute—Camisia!? Are you talking about Instructor Camisia Nott Tilum? How could someone who's beyond the realm of heroes be connected to that healer?!"

Like a rooster with its neck strangled, Oak's rising tone became extremely sharp, making Angeline want to cover her ears.

"Keep your voice down! Don't you even know the identity of the opponent before attacking? Little Ella is the only heir to the next Demon King of the Demon Tribe, the current Demon Queen, Elelia Nott Mistytin. I thought everyone in the academy knew, but I didn't expect there would be someone like you who didn't know."

"Demon Queen?"
