Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

72 – Anastasia Aris (3)

We will cooperate until we defeat Anastasia.

Lucy chewed on the grown-up Lucy’s words as she headed toward the mountain where her demons were summoned, and Lucy walked along the path she had laid out for her.

“… ….”

Lucy looked at the matured Lucy in silence.

A cold wave that freezes and shatters monsters that attack with one gesture.

Her cold personality, which is hard to see as herself, may have affected her as well.

Her appearance is the same, but because of her personality, which feels so alien to herself, Lucy couldn’t dare to stick her words.

Obviously that’s me.

Have I become a guy who can’t even talk to me?

It was as if his heart, which had been making loud noises even to Adele, had changed like a shrunken balloon.

“…… Can Anastasia go back to normal?”

A question I asked with her eyes tightly closed as if talking to herself.

The matured Lucy answered without looking back.

“Can’t turn it back.”

“Then what did you do?”

“… ….”

The matured Lucy didn’t bother to answer.

But her silence was enough of an answer.

I couldn’t leave Anastasia who had become such a monster, so I must have killed her.

“I couldn’t help it.”

“Why?”

“Because the saintess who could heal Anastasia, who was eroded by demonic power, has died.”

“Huh?”

Lucy raised her head at a fact that was different from what she knew.

She doesn’t know the saintess directly, but did she see Sylvia today as she went to school?

No, what Lucy is saying may be that Sylvia died in the process of dealing with her Anastasia.

Lucy thought so and opened her mouth.

“Then you can protect the saintess.”

“Huh?”

The grown-up Lucy stopped her steps and turned around.

With her eyes wide open, she let out a blank sound, as if asking what that meant.

“Huh?”

And her Lucy also made the same noise as her and looked at her.

“Why?”

“No, it sounds like the saintess is alive.”

“Huh? Is the saintess alive and well?”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

It was a series of stupid conversations.

Lucy matured in the fact that she is different now from what she knew in the past.

The other Lucy also has a gap between what she knows and what she perceives.

Recognizing why the conversation didn’t mesh properly, the two blinked as they looked at each other.

“Why?”

And this time the mature Lucy asked a question.

“Why is the saintess still alive?”

“Why is the saintess dying? Didn’t she die fighting Anastasia?”

“No. She was executed by a Holy Knight after rumors spread that she was a witch.”

“She wasn’t executed?”

This was changed by Adele’s intervention.

To protect Sylvia and Charlotte, who couldn’t protect them due to lack of power, the future Adele changed their love affair by giving her strength and memories to her past self.

But the two Lucys who didn’t know that fact were just confused by the facts that were different from what they knew, like idiots.

“No, I couldn’t find Kyle infected with Magi because the saintess wasn’t there… ….”

“Since the saintess is alive, why do you keep talking nonsense?”

“She is dead!”

“She is alive!”

Lucy jumped up and outpaced her grown-up Lucy, pointing in the direction where the giant lich had hatched from within her egg.

“Then check it out with your own eyes!”

If only a saintess could do it, a saintess would surely appear in that place.

And Adele will be there to stop Anastasia, and Kyle will jump in there as well, according to the mature Lucy.

You can judge who is right then.

* * *

The monsters summoned endlessly by the lich are not concentrated in one place.

The direction of spread is four directions.

One side is the direction in which a huge pillar of fire rises high into the sky.

The other side is covered in ice.

That alone was the power to tell who was climbing the mountain.

Veronica and Lucy.

She didn’t know which side Kyle was climbing the mountain with, but she knew that he was climbing the mountain too.

Well, the rest is in the direction of me, Alessia, Charlotte and Tina.

It’s not what I was aiming for, but thanks to the evenly distributed power, there is no obstacle to climbing the mountain.

None of them was pushed back and steadily cutting down the enemy’s power, and thanks to that, we were almost in front of Anastasia.

“Honestly, it was unexpected.”

It was the first voice I heard.

I turned my head in the direction I heard the sound, and there was a white-haired demon sitting on top of a skull bird.

“Until Ella came, she devours her academy, and she came late.

The devil jumped off the bird and landed in front of us.

Even though I jumped from a fairly high place, there was no shock at all, and not even dust rose.

What he showed me was simple and clear, but with that alone, I could tell that the demon in front of me was different from the monsters he had cut down until now.

“It is difficult to pass forward. Anastasia still needs more time.”

“The devil is kind enough to tell you.”

“Call me Elena, not the devil. And being kind is because I’m originally kind.”

Elena smirked and curled her fists into her stance.

As I prepared to face it by infusing her magic into her ring, Alessia stepped forward with her sword drawn.

“Go first. According to that devil, you have to reach the lich as soon as possible to stop it.”

“Did you think I would let you go?”

Boom!

As Elena kicked her ground, her ground turned over with a sound like a bomb exploding.

Appearing in front of Alessia as if she had been teleported, Elena swung her closed fist, and that was all, her air rumbled and thud! A sound rang out.

But.

Squeak.

Her fist didn’t pierce Alessia’s head as she aimed for.

Elena’s arm, which had been severed by her invisible sword, fell helplessly to the floor, and Elena opened her eyes in surprise and jumped away from her.

Her skill was worthy of an escort of Sylvia, her saintess.

“She deserved it.”

When I swung her arm, showing the cross section of her neatly cut bone and muscle, her arm regenerated as if nothing had happened.

The laughter that prevailed a moment ago disappeared, and Elena took her posture again with a serious expression.

“Then let’s go first.”

Alessia continued to climb her hillside, not missing the gap she had made.

The lich gets closer and closer.

I thought it was big even when I saw it from a distance, but when I got closer, it was so big that I had to bend my head to look up at it.

“Anastasia.”

Anastasia is visible through Richie’s ribs.

He is crouching with his arms around his knees like a child.

It was far away, but if you frowned at him, it seemed as if you could see tears running down his cheeks, faded in the dark ribs.

Seeing that, I regretted it now.

What did you promise to do in the first place, leaving Anastasia alone until she was in such a state?

The moment when I promise to throw away that kind of mind and take care of it more when this job is over.

Deed deed deed…….

After a single roar, the lich stood up.

Innumerable bones collided with each other and dripped onto the floor with a crackling sound, and they were automatically assembled and formed as if attracted by a magnet.

Flash.

Red light entered the empty pupils of the lich.

At the same time, many skeletons in the form of humans and animals stood up and made the sound of their bones as if they were clapping.

“… ….”

I looked around.

Front view, back view and side view. An empty summit with no obstructions.

Litches and skeletons fill an area the size of a soccer field.

And I have to face them alone without an ally there.

“I guess I’m the only one who got it right.”

It’s not that I didn’t expect it, but it was the worst situation I ever imagined.

However, expressing dissatisfaction in such a situation would not change, and the work to be done would not change, so I took a deep breath and heated up my mana.

Weiyiing──

At the magic power that flowed into the ring, the circuit started with a sound.

At about the same time, a deep blue color that could be seen through my skin ran through my veins.

─That’s it!

A lich that responds to my magic.

As it roared with its bony mouth wide open, the vibration transmitted through the air made my body numb.

And the answer to that magical power.

Wow wow wow.

The cry of a whale like a whistle that I can clearly hear even in my ears.

“Is it a special move from the beginning?”

As I looked up at the sky with a smile, the dark clouds that had blocked the sunlight were being crushed by the overwhelming mass and were dispersing.

What emerges through the clouds is white, smooth skin.

A huge whale swimming in the sky with a long lined body.

Baekgyeong.

I felt like Lich was laughing at me at a monster that was incomparable to the monsters I had dealt with so far.

Indeed, it can be said that it is a summoned beast that can guarantee victory.

Because I know the power of the white whale well, I blocked the summoning itself during the public practice, and the fire knight also aimed at me, who was a sorcerer, rather than aiming for the white whale.

The power car is excessively high.

It seems like Richie is convinced that his victory is as obvious as fire.

“Because I didn’t come here unprepared either.”

Coo-goo-goo-goo…… !

A huge vibration came through the air from above the sky.

The beluga whale, which had been loftily swimming in the sky ignoring the laws of physics, finally fell to the ground at high speed as if it had become a creature caught in gravity.

And a sight that makes you feel deja vu.

A gigantic whale that took over the place where the White Whale of the Lich was located a while ago and reigned anew.

As if he were a true king, the new White Wyvern howled as he looked down at the fallen White Wyvern with jet-black eyes.

─Ughh!

I turned my back to the huge heartbeat and looked at Richie.

He has no muscles, so he has no facial expressions, but his white bones look like he’s embarrassed.

“With this, I am back to square one.”

Damn it.

As the moisture in the air froze, he raised the ice sword that was being created in real time.

The pure white steam flowed down like a waterfall and landed on the floor.

I said, pointing the tip of my sword at the lich.

“I have to give Anastasia back, Richie.”

The lich gritted his teeth at my words, and gave orders to the skeletons in a language unknown to me.

At the same time, the skeletons that filled the top started charging like dogs.
