Chapter 189: Burning

Things get worse than expected, and when Lizzie returns to the surface with Curt, she realizes that Curt told her that her "chaos" wasn't that simple.

Because this is already a battlefield - near the infirmary building in the center of the academy, it has been painted in chaos by the vanguard sent by the "True Eye". Fragments of chimera soldiers scattered all over the place, and the blood left behind by the guards...... These are things that shouldn't be here.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the incomparably clear night sky had been gradually eroded by the crimson flame color, and even the silver white moonlight had turned into a terrifying flame at this time.

"It's an exaggeration, is it necessary to do this. In front of Curt's eyes, the flames danced like a storm, "Even during the siege of Wicks, the Imperial Warlock Legion didn't use such 'enthusiastic' means to greet the enemy's bunkers, right?"

Not far away, a four-story building was burning, and the heat was so strong that even the two of them standing in the distance could feel a sultry heat rushing over their faces.

It wasn't as simple as a fire, the doors, windows, and even walls of that building were blazing red red everywhere. Under the continuous baking, shards of glass continued to fall off the twisted skeleton of the building, and the walls that had swelled abnormally due to the high temperature were covered with cracks.

"The reaction to the excess mana is obvious. ”

Lizzie looked at the building that had been turned into a torch, trying to figure out a way to suppress the blazing flames, "But these are obviously just ordinary flames. It is ignited by an elemental spell and left alone...... Or is someone using the telepathy spell to interfere......"

Lizzie shook her head, she couldn't help even if she wanted to—I was afraid that even if a team of sorcerers skilled at controlling frost were brought in to extinguish the flames in an instant, the building would no longer be usable. No...... If François could have fallen to the people who still had the energy to cast the cooling spell, it might not be the building that they would have to deal with first. It's the guy who made the situation worse to this point.

"Whew, whew, whoa!"

Ignoring the blazing fire around it, the culprit of this tragic situation roared in a mighty manner, and a flame was pouring out of its throat frantically. It was apparently a monster that had been forcibly assembled from various materials, as if it were a Chimera that appeared in an ancient heroic epic.

The mountain-like size boasts a strong sense of existence, and the body parts of many ferocious monsters give it a variety of combat methods. It's made up of a variety of parts that are put together like those chimeras. But its makers deliberately kept its body intact.

There were only five guards against the Chimera here, and they all attacked each other with their usual weapons. But no matter how much they tried to fight it, it was to no avail, and the guards were unable to hold it back in the face of a monster that seemed to be made of steel and iron bones.

Unlike the Chimera Soldiers, who were once dead and then "lived" by magic, they still retain their original ferocity. This chimeric creature is as fierce and powerful as it looks. The mages that surrounded it looked like they were being suppressed by him.

Not only can the black-glowing scale armor block the accumulation of spells, but even the heavy mechanic's gun will hardly leave a scratch on it. Razor-sharp minions are sharper than steel-forged weapons, and random swings can turn the fortifications built by the guards into rubble.

Indeed, even this chimeric beast alone would be enough for the mages present to drink a pot, but other than that. There's also a lot of stuff on the scene that is causing trouble for the magicians. These "little troubles" are naturally insignificant compared to the Chimera, but it is impossible to ignore their existence.

Small, but deadly—the dust of the fire transformed into countless fiery "butterflies". If the flame demon butterflies are just compared to flames that spread their wings and fly, these "butterflies" are real flames, and anything that they knock down will be ignited.

And the moment the building burned, the elves who served the academy seemed to go crazy. The little furry creatures shouted at the sorcerers with their work tools, as if they wanted to use those rudimentary tools as weapons to smash the slashing of the shut-in-the-eye in front of them.

You have to bother to dodge the flaming "butterflies" that are surging towards you. Trying to repel the elves that tried to kill them, the mages were locked in a bitter battle like never before.

"Get down!"

As soon as it was too late, a blazing flame erupted from the Chimera's lizard-like skull. Swept in front of him like a column of water. A sharp-eyed guard, seeing that one of his companions was about to be swept away by the flames, but still unaware of the fact that he was engaged in a struggle with the enemy, rushed forward and knocked him to the ground.

"Front, type three shield - artillery defense. ”

Lizzie swung her fingers to unleash her magic, then constructed a dozen glass-like shields.

Lizzie doesn't intend to exert her magic to withstand the heat head-on, so each shield is extremely fragile. Flames erupted. Then, with a sound like broken glass, the shield built by Liqi was also constantly broken.

But the surging crimson continued to break through the shield. It is gradually pulled to change the trajectory little by little. Eventually, when it shattered the last layer of "glass". The air was scorched by the flames deflected by those magical barriers, swept away from space far off its intended tracks.

The sorcerer who was pushed to the ground watched in horror as the huge pillar of fire swept over his head, and the cold sweat on his forehead almost steamed instantly. His companion's timely pounce and the shield built by Lizzie saved his life, but his beard was still burned in half.

It's dangerous...... But how did this dangerous monster get in?

This became a major problem for all the academy guards, who saw that the building was suddenly enveloped in flames, and hurried to the rescue. But they didn't expect that in the flames that swirled and flew and devoured the buildings, such a dangerous monster would attack them.

It seems that even François's direct subordinates do not know that the underground passage network of the academy has been completely controlled by the other party. The "True Eye", which made a surprise attack on the Academy, used this back door to bypass the defenses near the wall. By the time the guards confronted the sudden appearance of the rock spiders, more enemies had already appeared all over the academy through the guò tunnels, and that was why Ojordin had shown the scene.

But things didn't get any better, and before Curt and Lizzie returned to the ground, the True Eye had already increased its investment in combat power. Not only the rock spiders and chimera soldiers they had encountered, but also many monsters were thrown into the Academy's territory.

"Mr. Leinster, and this apprentice...... Well, forget it, now is not the time to pursue this. The sorcerer who had been saved saw Curt and Lizzie who had unswerved the spell at this time, but he obviously couldn't call Lizzie's name, and could only tell that she was an apprentice of the Theory Department through her clothes...... What the hell!"

Rumble!

Before he could finish his sentence, a violent explosion caught his attention. The ground seemed to tremble from the explosion, perhaps the remnants of the building had been detonated, and a wave of heat accompanied by a shock wave came from the igniting four-story building.

Signaled by an explosion, another wave of enemies burst out of the fire, striking the still lone guards. They were human forms made of flames, and what was supposed to be flesh and blood had been completely replaced by flames that were emitting heat.

"Damn, haven't you already asked the garrison for reinforcements?, why hasn't anyone come yet!" a guard carrying a heavy mechanic gun that was a cut above him shouted to his teammates, "This is a terrorist attack - no, it's a riot, or even a rebellion!"

The mechanic in his hand had long been bent by the Chimera's attack, and was now not much different from an ordinary iron rod. But the guard still clutched it tightly in his hand, and constantly attacked the surrounding spirits with bayonets, and the sharp blades took the lives of several little ones.

But no one responded to him - his colleagues had already guessed the possibility, but they didn't want the answer to come from their own mouths. Reinforcements may not be able to arrive, and since they dare to attack Catrice Academy directly, the other party must have already thought of countermeasures to deal with the reinforcements.

"We're isolated - it seems like that's the case, so there's no need to expect reinforcements to come. Curt sighed, his gaze swept over everyone present, they all looked tired, fighting that Chimera here had obviously consumed almost all of their strength, "Everyone here still has the strength to fight, but the people behind us don't even have the strength to protect themselves. ”

There are also lights in the infirmary, and you can even see people walking around. They were unable to evacuate at the beginning of the chaos, and then in the face of the Eyes of Truth's onslaught, they could only huddle in the building, hoping that the five-man guard would protect them.

The area of the college is so large that it is usually necessary to use transportation to get around. The mages who reside here are of course elite, but their numbers are not large, and most of them are concentrated in the real yàn district around the Silver Shining Tower or in their own personal workshops.

When these combat-ready people heard that the academy was under attack, they realized that their area had been cut off. Even if they tried to rush to the attacked places to help, they would have been confused about which direction to go first - more likely, the enemy had committed Gundam forces there, and they were now mired in a melee.

"It's so rare, I thought I had given up being a hero. ”

They can't take a step back in order to protect those behind them who are powerless to protect themselves. (To be continued)
