I Became an Academy Attack Helicopter - I Became an Academy Attack Helicopter chapter 79

79 – Chapter 28. Elemental Delivery Service Erif – 2

– 80 –

The airship flew over the vast Alsang between the continent of Ireland where our Selmeier Kingdom is located and Pavis Daeruk where the Chromium Empire is located.

I spent a full day in the sky, changing routes to avoid the dark clouds and sometimes climbing above the clouds.

Originally, it was for military transport, so it was quietly squashed in a corner, so I finally arrived at a fairly large floating island.

The island floating in the air was amazing even from afar, but the closer it got, the more admiring its grandeur.

When you see a giant inverted hemispherical mass of land several kilometers in diameter floating in the sky alone, everyone will be like that.

“We have arrived, Erif-sama.”

When I got off the airship following the secretary, a bunch of escorts attached to me by Arumanan followed.

The soldiers guarding the marina looked at us with puzzled eyes, but when Arumanan’s secretary came forward and explained, we were immediately allowed to pass.

“Erif. Please sit next to me and put on your helmet.”

The secretary took out the motorcycle he had been carrying on the airship.

When I squatted in the sidecar with a small passenger seat next to it and put on a helmet, the motorcycle started slowly.

Like an island floating in the air, the winter wind was strong.

After tying the collar of the coat tightly, looking at the bare trees lined up along the road, I arrived at my destination.

“Erif. That building.”

The secretary pointed to an old-fashioned two-story building, but the atmosphere was unusual.

The gloomy and desolate surrounding landscape heightened the ominous energy.

“Stop. Can you tell me your affiliation, name, and purpose?”

As we approached the building, the soldiers guarding it approached.

“This is the decree of His Excellency Arumanan.”

After I and the secretary finished proving their identity, pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the soldier, surprised and led us into the building.

“Wait a minute.”

I looked around the inside of the building while the soldier rushed to call for a superior.

Because it was a place, there were unusually wind spirits here and there on the island, but there were a lot of strangely water spirits.

Does even the water veins pass?

No, this is an island in the air.

A few minutes later, a soldier brought an elderly, middle-aged man.

Introducing himself as the head of this place, he began to explain.

“I don’t know if you know, but we are a unit that inspects the territories of the kingdom scattered across continents and oceans. A month ago, while visiting an uninhabited island not far from here, I found a token of a demon.”

Because I had already heard the explanation once, a brief explanation came and went.

“You said it had been a month since you contacted the certificate?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“How long can you last in that state?”

I also stayed in the spirit realm for about two weeks when I rescued Tyran last summer, but since I was a humanoid spirit, I didn’t feel any hunger.

Sila says that those who come into contact with the token will go into a state of sleep, and the higher the affinity with the spirits, the more energy will flow in from the level of the soul.

It is said that the body becomes a spirit.

In that case, it is said that it is possible to survive for a long time without supplementing energy by absorbing the energy of the elements overflowing in the atmosphere of the spirit world and the material world.

So, as a half-spirit at all, I was fine even if I starved for a few days in the physical world, and it was okay to stay in the spirit world for a few weeks.

But a pure human will be different from me.

Even if the spirit affinity is high, there is a limit to surviving the body only with elemental energy unless you are a spirit.

“I don’t know exactly, but according to the diagnosis of the doctor, I was slowly approaching the limit physically.”

At the words of the person in charge, I and the secretary decided that we could not delay any longer.

“Please take me to Agent Sipiya.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Following the person in charge down to the basement of the building, the soldiers standing on the border opened a large door.

“This is it.”

The room had a space similar to the one I had on a summer day.

A woman lying dead on a large bed and her heavy weapons aiming at her.

The bed, which was decorated like a hospital facility, was equipped with various medical equipment, and Agent Sophia was being injected with something like a sap.

As if it was true that she couldn’t delay any longer, her complexion was pale and cold sweat was dripping from her body.

I took out my notebook and took out a note, and noticed something a little strange.

This is close to a military facility no matter how you look at it, how did her senior and her brother know the address?

“Did you pass this address on to the agent’s family?”

“Yes. Because if I had to leave, I would have called them too.”

Do you mean to drive children who are not even adults to the battlefield?

“If something like this happens in the future, please contact me through Arumanan. Do not bring in innocent children.”

Involuntarily, I made a sharp criticism.

To others, I may be the same, but since I am a humanoid spirit, it was incomparable to mobilizing civilians and even small children.

Sometimes, I can’t stand the case of civilians getting involved in a war so much that I can’t even figure out why.

There’s no such thing as guilt about getting rid of an enemy.

I turned my gaze away from the soldiers and the secretary with a sorry expression and turned to the side of the bed where Sophia was lying.

“Silla.”

[[Did you call?]]

The soldiers were nervous when Sila appeared from the air.

I asked Sila a few questions while ignoring them.

“Can I interfere with this token?”

[[Um. In conclusion, it is possible.]]

“Yes? It’s nice to hear that.”

Sila tilted her head and calmly picked out her words and started explaining.

[[You are very close to the spirit world, unlike ordinary humans. So you can get into places where someone else already has a sphere of influence. The problem is… ….]]

Sila mumbled his words, then went down onto the bed and stared at the token.

[[This is big.]]

“Big? What?”

[[[Is it the capacity of the token? Should it be said that it is a vessel of spirits that guards the spirit world beyond this? I don’t think it’s the realm protected by the higher spirits because it’s incredibly large.]]

“What is it? So, is there even a spirit king in there?”

Sila gave me a pint glass as if it was ridiculous.

[[The Spirit King is not a specific entity, but an ‘element itself’. Did you forget that too?]]

“Oh, yes?”

I heard it somewhere, too, so I vaguely thought that there would be a spirit king above the higher spirits, but the concept was different in the first place.

Sila carefully looked at the token from different angles a few times, then she turned her head to look at me.

[[It feels similar to Erif.]]

“Uh… …. Then maybe?”

[[Yes. Perhaps, ‘that guy’ might be in here.]]

After Sila’s words, I was able to see the token again.

The subtle element of water hidden in the ominous magic.

Come to think of it, there were a lot of water spirits around.

As if there were so many spirits of wind and fire around me that I could not recognize, it was the sound of someone in this token being closely related to water.

And the one who protects the spirit world beyond this is probably the most likely humanoid spirit like me, Bartiers.

[[Balti… ….]]

Sheila gently closed her eyes and lowered her head slightly as if thinking of something from her.

While Sila was immersed in her memories, I decided to make preparations before summoning Tyran.

Oops. Previously.

“Can you bring me something to eat?”

Before you fight, you have to fill your stomach.

With only the secretary who knew who I was, I finished eating in the room next to the token.

Now I need to get something from Tiran, but I had to turn my attention to the secretary because Tiran emphasized ‘a place where there are no humans’.

“Secretary. Could you please turn your head for a moment?”

“If you feel uncomfortable, I will leave.”

“Ah, then, please.”

The quick-witted secretary went out into the hallway, and I comfortably called out Tyran.

“Tiran.”

[[Yes. Did you call?]]

Tyran wrapped around my arm and popped out.

As soon as she came out, she tapped the table with her characteristic hammer-shaped tail.

[[Erif. Are you ready to receive the weapon?]]

“Weapon? Is the weapon you prepared?”

[[Yes. Was it hard to fight with only the gauntlet and the greaves?]]

“No, it’s okay because there is magic.”

Tyran slowly shook her head, exclaiming the necessity of her weapon.

[[Last time, you met an enemy that didn’t work, so you suffered in the end. And wouldn’t it be better for you to have a good weapon too?]]

“Well. That’s it.”

Where is the soldier who doesn’t like good weapons?

If there was a weapon capable of physical attack rather than magic, the last time the flying monster was eliminated, it might have been surprisingly simple.

[[Then take out the integrated parts.]]

“Which one? Gauntlets?”

[[Yes. Is Erif right-handed? As a demonstration, I’ll attach a weapon to the right gauntlet.]]

Oh. What

Something came to mind naturally when I heard the weapon attached to the gauntlet.

Assassination sword? Hand cannon?

I know what a hand cannon is, but what is an assassination sword?

With the gauntlet on the table, waiting to see what kind of weapon he would attach, Tyran held his hammer’s tail centered and hung his head down while standing upright.

[[Cry, Hellfire too.]]

“What is tea?”

It was a long sword that popped out of Tyran’s mouth.

Somehow, Tyran spit out a sword longer than his body, panting and showing a tired look.

After taking a deep breath, she took the sword that was on the table and brought it to the gauntlet.

Then, to his surprise, the sword disappeared as if sucked in, and the gauntlet shone, and a flame pattern was engraved on the back of her hand.

[[Now, done! Now, if you shout ‘Cry, hellfire too’, you can take out your sword at any time!]]

“Well. Can I change the ignition key?”

[[What? Why? Did you prepare some cool lines?]]

“No, I don’t think it would be very cool if I did it.”

I try to make excuses for her while avoiding Tyran’s flashy gaze.

[[Oh, Tyran. Sword is so cool But if you shout out each one when you take out your weapon, won’t the enemies recognize you and prepare for it?]]

[[It is.]]

[[Erif is a warrior who always does his best on the battlefield. Isn’t it the blacksmith’s job to adjust weapons as Erif wants?]]

[[That’s right!!]]

After Sila was well burned, Tyran removed the starter that drew her sword.

She was so grateful that she didn’t have to shout out the slang words for her side thanks to Sila.

I’ll have to buy you a set of tropical fruits later.

[[If you think of a sword in your head and think you need to take it out, it will come out. I don’t have time, so would you like to practice now?]]

As Tyran said, she put on the gauntlet and raised her sword.

It was about 80 centimeters long.

The sword is silver that shines like a gauntlet.

The cross guard was round and small in size, so there was no problem to use it while flying.

‘Come out. Come out.’

Because I had never held a sword myself, I couldn’t get a good image.

The sword didn’t come out easily, so I made a jam with my gauntleted hand and shouted inwardly a hundred times to come out, but there was no sign of the sword coming out.

Reluctantly, I muttered low.

“Come out, hellfire too.”

Thinking that the twinkling of Tyran’s eyes for a moment was an illusion, he grabbed the light emanating from the gauntlet.

The white light gradually took on a red color, and then it became dark to black.

“I don’t think it was this color before.”

[[[It was made to combine with Hellfire, the most powerful weapon in the gauntlet.]]

“Ah, that’s why it’s called Hellfire Tool.”

The strong flame energy was felt from the sword with the dark red sword.

“Can this hold a black hellfire?”

[[Yes. Of course, it is possible because we focused on making the technology that defeated the flying monster safe to use.]]

“Oh.”

When I first saw it, I thought it was a sword, but the more I heard the explanation, the more I liked it.

If the black hellfire that cannot be shot from a distance is shot through the sword instead of in the gauntlet like last time, I won’t take any damage and the attack power will be high.

“Thank you, Tyran.”

[[No. Erif saved us, and he did it for granted. Besides, you’re going to save the spirit world again, aren’t you?]]

“Yes.”

Tyran pulled her to the side and drew her smile.

[[I’ll make another weapon for you. Save the spirit world, everyone.]]

He grabbed the sword and gauntlet, and raised her thumb towards Tyran.

“Just leave it to me.”

“Are you ready?”

“Yes. Sorry for taking so long.”

“No. Erif.”

She went back to the next room and stood in front of Mr. Sophia.

As she brought her hand to her token she was holding, her fingers tingled with the sound of her breaking.

“It doesn’t look like you can interfere right away.”

She pulled out a notebook from her arms and a letter from her second daughter.

I must deliver the letter that her little child had written down.

Because I promised that.

She put her hand holding her letter to the token.

I wanted to, but I was able to interfere with the tokens so easily that it would be futile.

“I’ll send it back soon…….”

After leaving a word to the secretary beyond the cold vision, my mind was sucked into the spirit realm.

“You have arrived.”

Now, I was able to reach the spirit realm with the feeling of closing and opening my eyes.

Looking around, hiding in the nearby cover with a familiar motion, it was in a forest thick with tropical trees.

We’ve been through two street fights so far, and both times were downtown areas of the spirit world, so there’s a good chance that this place is also an important place.

This forest didn’t feel that way at all.

Are there any hints where the spirit army is?

Come to think of it, I said that this place is highly likely to be Bartiers’ realm.

Judging from the story of Aruma Nan, it is said that he uses his battleship as his main body.

He was also called the admiral of the fleet of God’s army, so there was no way he was guarding the middle of the forest.

As I continued to look around, I saw a place where there were exceptionally few trees and the sun was bright.

That must be the sea side.

“Unification.”

In order to conserve magical power, he simply implemented wings and a hive, and then flew across the forest as if brushing against the ground.

“@$@#%!!!”

Somewhere, I heard the cry of demons.

It seems that there was an ambush of demons in the forest.

“Sheesh.”

Quickly took cover behind a large tree, and then embodied the gauntlet and helmet.

The moment the demons appeared, I was preparing to strike them, but the demons were running at an incredible speed that they had never seen before, running past the tree where I was hiding and running into the forest.

“Huh?”

I missed the timing to attack them in embarrassment.

Should I be sad about this, or should I be happy about this?

The moment you go to the sea again with an unfamiliar feeling

Thump- Thump-

Involuntarily, I stopped flying due to the dull vibration of the earth.

The moment the Spirit Sense sensed a great sense of crisis and hid itself in the bushes, the true identity of the loud echo was revealed.

Clearly… ….

In the middle of an exotic forest with thick greenery, a giant dinosaur was glaring at you.
