Chapter 79: Chapter 79
Mart was still in the reception area of the female dorms, he was sitting near Selenia. Menna was watching them, she was leaning against a wall, she seemed pensive, but calm, Mart attributed it to her not being particularly close to anyone in the female dorms, so she must be thinking about what she would do once the chaos passed, he reckoned that she would not be surprised to see him talking to Selenia, as Menna was an overly relaxed person.
-Thanks, I won’t forget what you did today. Mart told Selenia matter-of-factly.
-I don’t need anything, just you. -Said Selenia, looked at him, and after a pause handed him another blue potion. -Here, you seem to be storing them.
-Did they give you one? -Mart asked as he stored the potion in his demonic bag.
-Yes, the moment I returned to the academy, they told me to take it if I was in danger. -Selenia answered truthfully.
"I don’t think it’s to help her; so nothing good can come of it. I’m glad I intervened," thought Mart , who exhaled and stood up.
-Where will you go? -Selenia asked him.
He pulled her to him, hugged her tightly, smiled and asked:
-Why aren’t you hurting me?
-I don’t know what you will do, but I am not stupid enough to hurt you in a situation like this. -Selenia indicated, looking seriously at Mart.
"Woman, do you want to raise a flag of death?" thought Mart.
-You know, sudden and too good changes are considered ominous according to my memories. -Said Mart then kissed her and she activated her cutting spells, both of their lips were stained crimson. Soon after Mart approached the main entrance of the building and said to Selenia mischievously:
-When it’s all over, I want a passionate night with you.
Mart stepped outside after his words, and with some blush on her cheeks, Selenia smiled subtly.
[Lust trait activated: stamina temporarily increases by +20.]
Mart ignored the notification, because the moment the rain fell on him, he felt the cursed energy embedded in the raindrops, then looked in the direction in which the training grounds were located over which the intense lightning could be seen in the sky.
"What is this? Director Persec or the sorcerer who cursed the real Mart? Is this the reason for Director Persec’s disappearance? Although I didn’t read much I remember that in the first Chapter I read they made an account of the great demons who fell in the midst of the war between humans and demons, so that the hero could achieve his ascension, but among them was not Director Persec’s name. Then, as I feared, something happened here", Mart began to feel that his intuition was alerting him that something serious could happen, he had so many doubts, but still he inspected the surroundings of the female dormitory, and dropped around the building four demon stones, one to the west, one to the east, one to the south and the last one to the north. After that he ran swiftly using his demonic energy, while drinking a level 4 demonic energy potion, towards the lightnings place.
"A suitable building, a suitable building," Mart observed the surroundings looking for a tall building that would allow him to observe the area near the training grounds, upon seeing the three-story alchemy labs, he climbed to the top, activated a demonic diagram in front of his right eye and could see another intruder dressed in robes and hood who held a dark blue scythe in his hands and was talking to a beautiful demoness who was dressed in the academy uniform and who was on her knees with some blood on her lips.
"Who is that beauty?" thought Mart, trying to find something among the memories of the real Mart, but to no avail.
Isirid held her wand tightly, her gaze still steady and sure, though she knew she had already lost.
-That look will disappear, you damned demon, we’ll sell you for bronze coins so that even beggars can play with you. You think you’re too much, and you’re just an evil being that doesn’t belong to this world. -The intruder said to Isirid without hiding his contempt , as at the end of his words he dared to spit on her.
"I’m sorry, grandfather. But, at least I saved the talented students of your Academy. I don’t regret anything. Still, I hope you can forget me," Isirid tried to blast her demonic core, but when the tip of the scythe pierced her shoulder, she could not control her demonic energy which was almost entirely absorbed by the blue scythe.
-Do you think you can escape your fate so easily?
She only kept silent, her personality and strength prevented her from begging for help, she knew that most of the events that were happening to her were the product of her own decisions.
Mart disliked the scene, especially seeing the beautiful demon who seemed to be worthy of admiration, both for her beauty and her unwavering personality, being hurt by a human. "we need to find a professor as soon as possible," thought Mart who felt chills as he used the diagram to view the scene from a distance, his own survival instinct made him feel that the enemy was strong.
As he continued to watch, Mart saw Meleic, Sara and five more students who were approaching running from the area where Isirid was.
-Stop! -Mart exclaimed from the top of the alchemy building. Then he jumped down from the top, after reaching the bottom, he asked them firmly:
-Who is that student?
-That’s Isirid, the headmaster’s granddaughter, she helped us. -Sara explained in a tired voice.
Mart handed them two regenerative potions and two demonic energy potions, after that he said firmly and urgently:
-Find a teacher as fast as you can!
"The headmaster’s granddaughter, if anything happens to her he won’t sit still, apparently he’s already upset. These fuckers want to cause unprecedented chaos," Mart jumped to the top of the building again, activated the demonic diagram in front of his right eye, he saw the scythe intruder dragging Isirid by the hair.
Mart took out 20 level five demonic wands and floated them and then guided them to different points around the training grounds area, then threw several demonic stones and cursed stones in the surrounding area, all done quickly, without taking his eyes off the intruder.
He took out another level five demonic wand and made it float, activated a demonic diagram with which he extracted all the power of the wand converting the concentrated level five demonic energy into a spiral tipped blade; then he created another diagram, and the blade began to rotate; he created a third diagram and in front of the blade appeared a demonic barrier; at the end he created the fourth diagram with which he used part of the energy of the blade and his own, to power the shot.
Mart observed the intruder, he did not want to alert him, if he shot at the head they would feel his murderous intentions, so he thought it was better to aim at a leg.
[Warning: the enemy possesses incalculable power with the current power of the host].
[Warning: In a combat the probability of dying is 99.9%]
[Recommendation: host, use the rewards].
"No time for that. Besides, you forget something, I’m a mage, not a warrior, it doesn’t have to be a battle. Besides, we have the power of money on our side," Mart thought looking at the intruder, he unnecessarily but out of habit raised his index and middle finger, and pointed.
Bang!
The intruder, who was dragging Isirid, swung his scythe towards his right leg and blocked the blade which caused a double impact when the barrier protecting it broke upon impact of the scythe and then the blade impacted a second time.
The intruder saw his hand tremble from the strength and tension he had to exert to resist the sudden attack, after which he muttered at the sight of Mart:
-There was someone so strong among the demons. Is he a demon? He looks human. He must be one of those who could not awaken his lineage.
Mart exhaled as he saw how the scythe blocked the impact of the blade, but did not overlook the fact that the intruder’s hand trembled, whereupon he estimated that he must have a power close to the sixth rank, as the current limit that the system could calculate was the maximum point of the fifth rank.
Mart took out two medium sized bags, which contained demonic steel powder and obsidian orchid powder, dispersed both powders in the air and then fused them together and turned them into small needles which hovered in the air according to Mart’s will who lightened his weight and jumped on the needles.
Mart walked in the air stepping on the needles that were in a horizontal position, as the needles were small and thin, anyone who saw him, could think that Mart was walking on air.
Mart approached, carefully and slyly observing all the surroundings nearby.
The intruder saw Mart approaching and immediately wanted to inspect the surroundings using his magical perception.
Bang!
The intruder had to block another blade, now he was more attentive to the gunfire than to the surroundings.
Applause!
-Disgusting human! Who gave you the right to step on the demons’ territory. -Mart expressed, observing the intruder with a serene expression, although he was trying to contain the shiver he felt.
The intruder let go of Isirid’s hair, and went to evaluate Mart.
Bang!
Again he had to block another powerful blade.
-It’s humans who should be afraid of demons. Who do you think you are to intimidate us?
Bang!
The intruder waited for the impact of another blade, but this time he only heard the bang. "He missed?" was what the intruder thought.
[Demon god energy acquired: +1.9 in all attributes]
-Relax, I just eliminated a scum that was spying on us. -Explained Mart smiling, it was a sincere smile, as he was pleased to see the notification from the system.
