Chapter 38:

“Pay attention, let’s not act this manner and assume logically for a second. What profit do you achieve from handing me over to the fairy?”

The Blue Tower’s mage, Geo Lomartan, was fairly determined. He needed to persuade Phillip a method or one other.

“Why do you assume there’s no profit? Killing you means I’d erase one reckless mage from the world, wouldn’t I?”

“It appears you’ve forgotten for a second, however I haven’t dedicated any crimes but. Has anybody really suffered any hurt? Give it some thought once more. For those who let me go, I’ll offer you all of the artifacts I’ve and by no means seem on this world once more.”

Phillip snorted at Geo’s proposal.

“Ugh!”

“Making an attempt to summon a Manticore or angering the fairy, both a kind of alone can be sufficient misdeeds to turn into notorious within the realm. However why ought to I belief you and allow you to go?”

He was like a strolling time bomb. If certainly one of Geo’s makes an attempt had succeeded, it will have precipitated a disaster that might solely be resolved with the intervention of a whole order of knights.

“Properly, anyway, you’ll be able to’t cease me now. I don’t understand how you discovered me, however you appear to know nothing in regards to the race of mages.”

Geo furrowed his forehead from the ache coming from his neck and muttered in a dismal voice.

“What?”

When Phillip requested, Geo pulled up the corners of his mouth.

“Am I simply planning this for the sake of my private ambition? The essence of a mage’s existence is the transmission of information, so the failure of an experiment simply because I couldn’t observe it doesn’t imply something.”

Reluctantly, Phillip understood Geo’s phrases. That loopy magician was saying that the summoning of the Manticore would finally occur.

“If you wish to save your college students, you need to act shortly now. Isn’t the Manticore a robust demon? Although the Privia Academy could also be prestigious, it doesn’t appear to be they’ll deal with a Manticore. They’re merely two instructors and college students, not able to coping with such a creature. Hehehe.”

As if the state of affairs had circled, Geo mocked Phillip whereas laughing.

“Ah, actually?”

Phillip acted as if he didn’t care and kicked Geo as soon as extra. He hit the again of Geolro’s knee exactly, inflicting him to break down and scream in ache.

“You appear to be mistaken. I by no means had any intention of summoning a Manticore within the first place. What I used to be apprehensive about was the fairy’s anger.”The preliminary occasion of this chapter being obtainable occurred at N0v3l.Bin.

Phillip’s anger reached its peak, and he started to stomp on the writhing Geo.

‘Due to this man, the sport’s problem had elevated a number of occasions over.’

As per the setting, the fairies on this world fairly appreciated people. Nevertheless, their affinity takes a steep decline when Geo Lomartan summoned a Manticore.

Fey creatures born from pure phenomena abhorred creatures related to darkish magic. The malevolent and dreadful beast, Manticore, was an unforgivable presence from the fairies’ perspective, and the mage who summoned it was no completely different.

The enraged fairies attacked close by human villages, and the connection between fairies and people grew to become distorted from the second the knights and mages stepped in to subdue the fairies.

‘He did that each one by himself.’

A number of years later, when demons started their full-fledged actions, people would wish the help of the traditional mountains, lakes, and river’s guardians – the fairies.

Philip restrained Geo’s very important factors, inflicting him to faint, after which began amassing seen objects that seemed to be Geo’s analysis information.

‘… So now we’re going to combat the Manticore?’

When Neria requested, Philip nodded.

“Properly, it seems to be that means.”

‘Hmm, it doesn’t appear so tough. Your Moonlight Sword is deadly towards creatures like Manticore.’

“Earlier than that, let’s take this damned man again to the fairies. I can combat the Manticore anytime, however I don’t need to combat offended fairies.”

“Wouldn’t the youngsters be at risk then?”

“Felicia will deal with it. I belief her. Apart from, she’s a once-in-a-generation genius with the sword, so she gained’t have any bother with mere Manticore.”

“… Did she maintain my hand?” Janice puzzled, however when she turned her head, she was met with a weird sight.

Instead of the lovable brown-haired lady, there stood a fish-human hybrid with fins and scales, a fairly eerie creature.

Confused and brought aback, Janice couldn’t assist however utter, “What?”

Because the horrifying creature flicked its gills and turned its gaze in direction of her, Janice couldn’t comprise herself and set free a piercing scream.

“Eek!”

—

“Your Grace, did you hear that scream simply now?”

As Stephen and Cheryl walked in the wrong way from Janice, Cheryl all of the sudden spoke up, and Stephen nodded in settlement.

“It gave the impression of Miss Janice.”

They’d already lined fairly a distance, and now they discovered themselves virtually on reverse sides of the lake. It wasn’t possible to hurry to the opposite aspect, nor might they afford to disregard the state of affairs.

“Ought to we strive utilizing flight magic to cross the lake?” Cheryl advised.

“No, it’s too dangerous. Flying such a protracted distance with magic would drain a major quantity of psychological power, and we wouldn’t be ready for any unexpected circumstances. Let’s first assess the state of affairs. Climbing to a better vantage level and utilizing a Telescopic Spell to survey the opposite aspect of the lake can be a safer possibility.”

Cheryl agreed with Stephen’s suggestion. His fast considering and judgment impressed her, and he or she knew he was proper.

“I’ve a Telescopic Spell ready. Let me climb up a tree and have a look.”

Cheryl solid the flight magic, levitating herself into the air. Stephen adopted her actions with concern, however when she flew over his head, he shortly averted his gaze.

“Whoa!”

Cheryl chuckled, realizing her mistake of sporting a skirt, and rapidly centered on her spellwork.

“By no means search for after I’m flying like this!”

Blushing, she aimed her wand in direction of the far aspect of the lake.

Quickly, a translucent bead in regards to the dimension of a human face appeared earlier than her. With a flick of her wand, the bead soared by way of the air in direction of the center of the lake, not the alternative shore.

“Huh?”

Via the bead’s view, Cheryl noticed an unsettling sight in the midst of the lake, fairly than on the far aspect.

One thing disturbing was shimmering beneath the floor, as if an earthquake had occurred underwater, after which one thing shot up from the lake’s depths. Upon figuring out the entity, Cheryl’s face turned pale.

She descended from the tree in a rush and shouted, “Janice is at risk! Your Grace, we have to head over there instantly!”

“What? What’s happening?”

Confused, Stephen inquired, and Cheryl’s voice trembled with concern and concern as she responded.

“A Manticore! A Manticore appeared within the lake!”

“What? Why would a Manticore be right here?”

Although bewildered, Stephen swiftly ready his flight magic. He knew Cheryl nicely sufficient to belief her instincts, and he couldn’t ignore the seriousness of the state of affairs.

“If a Manticore is certainly there, I’ll go and examine on Miss Janice and Lua. It’s best to head again to the camp and inform the Teacher and the professors. We don’t want all of us in a single place.”

He made his resolution. If there was one thing harmful that wanted to be performed, he would tackle that duty.
