Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character - Chapter 69
69. The Forest of Enchantment (5)
-Cookwakwang!
“Kick kick!”
“thereupon!”
I continued to chase after Tia, dodging the ice magic she was shooting at me.
It felt like more than 30 minutes had already passed.
The exam ends tomorrow morning at dawn.
It’s deep dawn now, but if this situation continues… .
‘We have to hurry!’
It was at that time that my heart started to become anxious.
I could see other test takers taking the test in the distance.
It was a pair consisting of a boy and a girl.
“Kick kick!”
“Hey, wait a minute…!”
Tia ignores me and approaches them.
They were holding fairy tears in their hands and rejoicing without knowing anything, and when they sensed our presence, they looked at us.
I shouted at them urgently.
“Everyone get out!”
““… … ?””
“Kick kick!”
-Tuquaa!
“Whoa!”
“What, what is it!”
Tia ran at incredible speed and collided with a schoolgirl who was holding a fairy tear.
As the schoolgirl dropped the fairy tear from her hand into the air, Tia quickly caught it. Then she started running away somewhere again.
“What are you doing! Give it back quickly!”
“Eww!”
“Um, sorry guys!”
“Kikkikkikki.”
It was a mess.
After putting my hands together and apologizing to them, I chased after Tia again.
But this wasn’t the only time this happened.
“Huh?! My, my fairy’s tears-!”
“Give it back!”
“Hey! Are you guys crazy?! Over there!”
“Catch those guys!”
Tia ran away after stealing the fairy tears from the children she encountered in the same way several times.
Every time, I had no choice but to make an apologetic gesture to the children who had their fairy tears taken away, and then chase after Tia.
“Kikkikkikki!”
“Ah! This troublemaker…!”
Tia’s arms are already filled with fairy tears.
It seemed as if they were determined to sweep away all the fairy tears in this area.
“Ugh! What are you guys?!”
“Uh, I’m sorry!”
“Kick kick.”
How many times has that happened?
Tia started running towards a group of two schoolgirls, intent on stealing the fairy’s tears again.
But the backs of this group looked somehow familiar.
‘They are…!’
She has neatly tied black hair in a ponytail and is wearing the swordsman’s armor.
One wearing a Spirit Department uniform shirt and with long, flowing blonde hair.
I shouted at them.
“Lucy! Aria! Run away quickly!”
“Huh? Sir Cyan?”
“Xian? What are you doing here-”
-grasp!
“Whoa!”
“Lou, Lucy?!”
“Kikkikkikki.”
Tia steals Lucy’s fairy tears in the same way and runs away.
Then Lucy and Aria started chasing after him, getting angry.
From noble mtl dot com
“Sian! What are you doing! I didn’t know you would do such a clever thing! Stay there!”
“Those are the fairy tears we acquired! Give them back to us quickly! Get them the right way!”
“Oh, no, that’s it!”
Suddenly the number of pursuers doubled.
Ironic situation. I explained the situation to them while running along with them.
Then Lucy is very surprised.
“What?! Possession…! Wait, a spirit master who has made a contract with a spirit should be immune to the possession of a corrupted spirit…?”
“Tia is a spirit master who has not made a contract with a spirit! That’s why she has no immunity!”
“Whatever it is, this is a big problem! Sian, I’ll block the road first! While I’m at it, cooperate with Lucy!”
At that moment, Aria explosively strengthened her body with magical power and jumped faster than Tia.
Aria reached Tia in an instant. She swung the sword filled with aura in front of Tia.
-Tukwakwakwakwa!
“Kick…?!”
“Aria! Watch out! The main body is Tiara!”
“I know! That’s why I only blocked movement!”
Tia, who had avoided Aria’s attack, finally stopped walking.
I realized that I couldn’t run away anymore. Aria was blocking me from the front, and Lucy and I formed a triangle behind Tia.
Tia, whose eyes had been red with tears, finally began to look at us and become wary.
“Kick….”
I also looked around.
Before I knew it, I had reached the deep end.
The smell was more toxic than before, the gray plants looked even more bizarre, and the barren plains were devoid of any trees… .
‘Oh no. Did we enter the restricted area in the center?’
In the center, you may encounter high-level corrupted spirits or ghouls possessed by corpses.
If we delay any longer, we will no longer be able to save Tia.
“Lucy! What do we do now?!”
“We need to make the fallen spirits exhaust all their magical power so that they run out of magical power to possess!”
I said to Lucy, who was next to me.
“… Then it would take too much time. During that time, other spirits might come and possess Tia.”
“Then how…! Are you just going to chase after me like this?!”
“I know it’s shameless, but I have a way.”
I shouted at Aria, who was confronting Tia in front of me.
“Aria! Give me some time with Lucy!”
“Do you have any clever ideas?!”
“Okay! Just let me get close enough to touch Tia!”
“…i get it!”
Tia, sensing the crisis, casts spirit magic.
A magic circle with a geometric pattern that glowed blue appeared on either side of her and above her head.
“Where!”
At that moment, Lucy puts her hand on the ground.
Then, a magic circle appeared, and in an instant, spirits poured out from within it.
“Woof, woof! Woof!”
“Boom!”
They were four wind-attribute wolves that followed the contractor’s orders. As soon as they were summoned, the wolves jumped at Tia as if they had sensed Lucy’s intentions.
“Kick…!”
Tia, who had stopped casting her magic, quickly created a spear of ice out of thin air.
Then he swung his spear as if to sweep away the four wolf spirits that were rushing at him.
The wolf spirits continued to pressure Tia while avoiding her attacks, and then Aria charged at Tia.
“Put the pressure down!”
-Kaang!
Tia’s ice spear and Aria’s sword clashed.
Aria had not cast her Aura. If she had exchanged Auras with Tia, Tia’s ice spear would have shattered and hit Tia directly.
“You’re doing great, Aria! Stay the same!”
I ran with all my might.
The distance between me and Tia is getting closer. Tia glances at me, but she is too concerned about Aria to move.
Now was the chance.
I wrapped my arms around Tia as if hugging her from behind and aimed my iron sword at her neck.
Aria quickly escapes.
“Kik… .”
When Tia, feeling her life was in danger, couldn’t move, I immediately placed my hand on her waist.
‘I’ll take away all of Tia’s magical powers like this…!’
For a moment, a blue light surrounded me.
The magic stone sword began to glow strongly, absorbing the magical power of Tia and the spirit possessed by Tia.
“… … !”
Tia notices something strange in her body and tries to struggle, but it’s already too late.
The magic stone sword quickly absorbed a lot of magic power, and any magic power that exceeded the allowable limit was transferred directly to my body.
“key….”
The corrupted spirit, having lost its magic power, releases its possession and emerges from Tia’s body.
“Aria! Now!”
“… … !”
Aria, who heard my words, immediately breathes aura into the sword.
Choaack!
Aria quickly cut down the fallen spirit that had emerged. Then, the spirit lost its form and slowly disappeared into the air.
Tia, who has lost her strength and passed out, slumps over.
“Is it… over?”
“okay.”
I took one of the countless fairy tears in Tia’s hand and handed it to Aria.
Lucy said in relief, realizing only then that the situation was over.
“Whoa… I thought something bad was going to happen. By the way, Mr. Sian, what did you do?”
“I’ll explain later. This is the center of the Forest of Enchantment. It’s safe to get out quickly.”
“Gasp! We’re already in the center?!”
I delayed it too long.
The center of the Forest of Enchantment is a restricted area. It’s a place that the instructor strongly urges you not to enter, even when taking the test.
Soon, the strong negative energy from the dozens of fairy tears that Tia possesses will cause corrupted spirits and ghouls to swarm in.
Fairy tears are crystals that contain magical power and yin energy.
If there is a host to feed on, the fallen spirits can use the energy in fairy tears to grow to a higher level. Ghouls will also evolve into a higher species if they swallow fairy tears.
We need to get out of the center quickly.
I ran back the way I came with Lucy and Aria, carrying Tia on my back.
As we continued to chase after Tia and fight, the stamina and magic power we expended decreased significantly, causing the three of us to run faster.
I had recovered some of my energy since I had absorbed all of Tia’s magic power, but Lucy and Aria were breathing heavily as if they were struggling quite a bit.
“Just a little more strength-”
“Gewooo… .”
At that moment, several ghouls appeared, loitering before my eyes.
Aria and Lucy were exhausted so I had to step up.
-Crash! Crunch!
“Everyone, we need to go faster! I’ll take care of any spirits or ghouls that appear, so just speed up a little bit!”
“Haa, haa… We want to go faster too!”
“The armor and sword are too heavy for me to handle anymore!”
“Gewooo… .”
“Kihihihihihi!”
Ghouls are coming from all directions, seemingly out of nowhere.
At the same time, a strong energy was felt. It was more concentrated than the mid-level corrupted spirit that possessed Tia earlier.
Their speed was faster than ours.
We ran at full speed without paying any attention… .
“Geowaaa… .”
“Ugh, uh-uh-uh… .”
“Kihihihihihihihi!”
“… So we’re finally surrounded.”
“What do we do now, Mr. Sian?”
“I can fight a little longer. But… this many guys are too much to handle.”
We were surrounded by ghouls and a high-level corrupted spirit that seemed to be their leader.
In an instant, they were pressing us in a circle.
