Reincarnated in another world, I also want to be invincible at the beginning

It is obvious that they deliberately lured away Princess Alice, the most powerful force of the Crimson Knights, before attacking the Crimson Knights. That means the Crimson Knights were the Crimson Knights from the beginning. As for the previous murders imitating the Shadow Courtyard, it was probably just to confuse them. In fact, the Crimson Courtyard really thought that the Crimson Knights were targeting them, and they were waiting for the Crimson Knights' next move, but they didn't expect that the Crimson Knights were the real target of the Crimson Knights.

But there was still one thing Sid didn't understand.

What exactly did the Order get from the Crimson Knights?

Want to take action?

At this point, those guys from the cult probably haven't had time to evacuate.

With his ability, he should be able to catch up.

Sid came to the classroom while thinking about things.

The bell for class has just rung.

Before he made a decision, a barrier suddenly covered the entire Magic Swordsman Academy. Sid was surprised to feel the magic power in his body being sealed. However, in just a moment, he cracked the magic seal and regained his power. After the battle with the mysterious man, he did targeted training in the magic seal. Not to mention that this seal is much worse than the mysterious man's original method, even if he faces the mysterious man's magic seal again, he is confident that he will not be as embarrassed as before.

The door of the classroom was kicked open.

A group of black-clad swordsmen rushed in.

"We are Shadow Court. We have hijacked this school. If you don't want to die, give up resistance and follow us!"

Sid looked at the group and his mood brightened up when he heard this.

This is an event!

Unexpectedly, before he even took the initiative to come to the door, the event actually came to him.

what.

That's right.

Could it be that Alpha and the others have discovered something?

I knew these guys would come to attack the school today.

interesting.

Sid did not resist because he was still a passerby.

However, although he did not resist, the top students in the class did not intend to obey. As students of the Magic Swordsman Academy, they believed that they had the power to resist terrorists. Then Sid saw those stupid classmates who wanted to resist the terrorists were killed very cleanly. Because Sid did not see these classmates as important characters, he did not rush out to save them, but devoted himself to acting like an ordinary person.

The students were taken to the gymnasium.

The terrorists who claimed to be the Shadow Court, but were actually members of the cult, gathered all the teachers and students in the gymnasium and did not take any action, that is, they did not make any demands, nor did they do anything excessive to the hostages. Sid mixed in the crowd and watched all this with some boredom. He felt bored. Shouldn't some events happen at this time? For example, some small fish took a fancy to the beauty of the main female character and wanted to do something popular. However, the soldiers of the cult did not seem to have any idea in this regard, and they followed orders like robots.

The leader should be the black knight in armor.

Sid is still slacking off.

As long as nothing happens to someone he considers to be a major character, he won't take action.

He is waiting.

Waiting for the night to come.

Because night is the scene where those with powerful shadow skills appear.

He would never be as low as these copycats.

It was broad daylight, but he had to go out in night clothes.

"By the way, what is that eyeball-like item? It seems to be absorbing all the magic power? Is this the purpose of the cult, to absorb magic power? But what is the purpose of their attack on the Crimson Knights?"

Sid rubbed his head.

Alpha is such a jerk. He doesn't even explain clearly when he passes on information.

I'm really not as smart as they think.

[Chapter 20: You are as stupid as your mother]

Soon, soon, I will be back!

The skinny knight looked at the shining ancient artifact 'Eye of Greed' in his hand, and his excitement made him want to dance in public.

How long had it been since he was so happy? Yes, ever since he reached the top, he suddenly found out that he had a terminal illness and fell from the clouds, he had been living in hell. The hand that used to be able to hold a sword could only be used to hold a cane, and even taking a breath was worried that he would suddenly be unable to breathe. He had had enough of this kind of life!

He, who had seen the scenery from a high place, could not accept his unlucky reality. His life should not be like this. He should be the one standing on the mountain, not the loser who fell into the valley and could only look up at the mountain.

He wants to go back!

He wants to climb to the top of the mountain again!

He wants to go beyond the top of the mountain and touch the higher blue sky!

“Ahem… Ugh! It’s almost there, it’s almost there…”

The thin knight covered his chest with his hands. Although he put on his old armor and picked up the sword again, it was a torture for him who was seriously ill.

Even though he was now wearing solid armor and holding a sword, he could not feel any strength or security.

There was a feeling of powerlessness and suffocation, which made him feel that he should not be standing here, but lying on the bed waiting to die. That was his original intention.

Fate. But he was unwilling to accept it. No matter how much it cost, he would become the powerful person he once was.

Time passed bit by bit.

The gym was already packed with people.

Students and teachers were guarded separately.

There were several bodies of teachers lying nearby.

Previously, the teachers and senior students wanted to resist together. They successfully broke through the defense of the small soldiers and were about to succeed. However, after the thin knight and his deputy took action, the teachers and students who could not use magic were quickly defeated.

The Skinny Knight didn't want too many people to die, so after suppressing the people, he killed a few teachers of moderate strength and stopped. His goal was to let the ancient artifacts absorb the magic power of these people, so the quantity and quality of the hostages were very important to him, which was one of the reasons why he chose the Magic Swordsman Academy as his target.

The teachers and students of the Magic Swordsman Academy were still waiting for rescue from outside, but they didn't know that the barrier of the Eye of Greed had long isolated them from outside support. Even a strong man like Shadow would be affected by this ancient artifact at the beginning, let alone others.

The Kingdom's Magic Sword Knights could not get in at all. If they did, their magic power would be sealed and they would become lambs to be slaughtered. Alice, who wanted to seek revenge, was also successfully blocked outside by the barrier. Even the troops of the Shadow Courtyard were waiting outside for the opportunity and could not attack immediately.

Yes, that ancient artifact is that powerful.

If the barrier of the Eye of Greed was not limited in range and the amount of magic power it could absorb was not capped, this thing could have destroyed an entire country.

"Night has fallen..."

A boy said quietly.

Suddenly the lights in the gym went out.

"What's going on?!"

"Who did this?!"

"Don't move the hostages. Our swords will show no mercy!"

The Eye of Greed in the thin knight's hand suddenly shone brightly, and the red light illuminated the entire gymnasium. Some students and teachers who stood up were exposed before they could take any action. They were pointed at by the terrorists' swords and dared not move. They could only raise their hands in surrender.

The thin knight frowned.

The magic power has been almost absorbed.

It's time to take out these hostages.

"Wait, what is that?!"

Suddenly someone pointed at the ceiling and shouted.

The thin knight looked up in confusion.

A figure wearing a pitch-black robe, a hood and a magician's mask on his face was standing above the headlights in the stadium. He was like a leading actor who suddenly appeared under the spotlight, attracting the attention of all the audience as soon as he appeared on the stage. Even though he didn't make any movements and didn't say any lines, his extremely strong presence made it impossible for people to take their eyes off him.

"shadow garden!"

The thin knight read out the person's identity.

Shadow raised his hand and summoned the Slime Sword, and purple-blue magic circuits appeared on his body. The terrifying magic was like a giant dragon spreading its wings. At that moment, everyone seemed to see a black dragon roaring to the sky. A purple-blue beam of light shot straight into the sky, breaking up the crimson barrier. The barrier covering the entire school shattered with crisp sounds, like glass being hit hard. Only the purple-blue beam of light illuminated the surrounding shadows in the dark night.

As the barrier broke.

Black shadows rushed into the gymnasium from all directions. All of these people were wearing the black uniforms of Shadow Courtyard, and they all exuded the aura of strength. The killers who had disguised themselves as Shadow Courtyard were almost instantly killed by this group of people and could not even last two rounds. They had superb swordsmanship and tacit cooperation, and their military qualities were completely different from those of the previous terrorists, just like the difference between a professional and an amateur copycat.

The teachers and students of the college were all stunned.

"Hey, hey, hey! Boss, you didn't tell me that Shadow Courtyard is such a group of guys!" A black-clad swordsman was fending off attacks from three Shadow Courtyard members. He was still able to handle it with ease, but his opponents were only lower-level members of Shadow Courtyard. Seeing his men being slaughtered without any resistance, he knew that he had really hit a wall this time.

His boss ignored him.

The skinny knight was opening the secret passage, and the moment he saw Shadow appear, he chose to flee without hesitation. Unlike the reinforcements sent by the cult, he, like Geno, was an important figure lurking in the Kingdom of Midgar early in the morning. So he also saw the battle between Shadow and the mysterious man that night, and naturally knew that Shadow was a monster. He was very self-aware, and even if he held the Eye of Greed, he thought that he could only become the strongest human being at most, and could not compare with a monster like Shadow.

Lord Rex, go with peace of mind.

The thin knight stepped into the secret passage.

Because this guy ran away so fast, the people in the Shadow Court did not expect that a leader like him would be the first to escape, and he slipped away without them noticing. However, when they saw that Shadow had disappeared long ago, they no longer cared about the thin knight. With the supreme Lord Shadow taking action, the enemy leader would definitely not be able to escape.

The Thin Knight came to the vice-principal's office through the secret passage.

He removed his armor and disguise.

Then he turned back into the school's vice-principal - Ruslan Barnett.

“It’s a fascinating power.

what. "

Ruslan muttered to himself as he looked at the Eye of Greed in his hand.

Then he put the ancient artifact into his chest without hesitation.

“Ugh! Aaaaaaah—”

Accompanied by a howl.

The Eye of Greed successfully merged into Ruslan's body.

The powerful magic transformed his body, healed his injuries, and brought his body back to its peak state.

"No, this power has surpassed my former peak!"

Ruslan was very satisfied with his harvest.

He could confidently say that with this power, he was able to climb to the top of the Knights of the Round Table.

He turned around with a smile.

Look behind the sofa.

"Shirley, I didn't expect you to hide here. I should have thought of it sooner."

A girl with long pink hair and wearing a school uniform was hiding behind the sofa and shivering. She followed her father's teachings and hid in her father's office when in danger, and then tried to escape through the secret passage. However, when she ran to the gymnasium through the secret passage, she saw that the terrorists had occupied it, so she turned back and ran back to the office to hide.

She thought the terrorists didn't break in here because she was lucky.

But the reality is.

This is the Thin Knight's territory.

He naturally wouldn't let his men destroy this place.

After all, his plan this time did not include giving up his superficial identity.

He is the vice-president of the Magic Swordsman Academy.

Who would doubt him with this identity?

Moreover, the Eye of Greed has completely merged with his body and cannot be detected at all.

His men had also been killed by the people of Shadow Courtyard.

Even if those people were still alive, they only knew the Thin Knight of the Order, but didn't know that the Thin Knight was the vice-president of the academy.

What Ruslan didn't expect was...

His daughter, Shirley, was hiding here.

Because he thought his daughter would have no chance to escape here. He knew his daughter too well. Although she was a genius scholar, she was actually as stupid as her mother.

Is it luck?

Or is it fate?

Ruslan didn't know.

He was too lazy to think about these things.
