The Only Male Student in the Academy - The Only Male Student in the Academy chapter 95

095. All-out war (2)

‘What kind of magic… ?’

Joshua narrowed her eyes.

It’s not completely visible because of the thick smoke, but you can see blood floating around Ariel.

“Sir Pelyar, do you know about that skill?”

“…No. It’s the first time I’ve seen it.”

“Your brother must have learned some unique skill.”

However, there is no particular change in the work to be done.

It is the stain on the family, and it is only to kill those who stand in the way of one’s future.

“The turrets bother me. Attack with thieves and wizards.”

Joshua gives instructions.

I was wondering why the pit was pulled up, but it seems that he wanted to use a turret.

This is a reasonable decision. There are times when turrets can unleash more firepower than wizards if used well.

I used a lot of hair, but that’s all.

If their target is a turret, destroying all the turrets is enough.

“.”

Claire also read Joshua’s judgment.

Ariel’s strategy is to fill the overwhelming gap in the number of people with turrets.

I thought that the opponent knew it and would actively try to destroy the turret, so Claire uses To block the attack route in advance.

However, Alone was not enough to respond perfectly.

You can block the magician’s attack by building a wall, but it is impossible to kill the thief’s speedy mobility.

In the case of a thief, if a wall appears in front of you, you just have to take a detour and go back, or jump over the wall altogether.

That’s why Biina was waiting right behind the wall.

“That’s how you come.”

Biina, hiding behind the wall, swung her sword.

The thief hit by the sudden attack rolls across the floor.

“What about thieves?”

“Looks like he passed out.”

“Really? Then put it aside.”

Following Claire’s instructions, Melves removed the fallen bandits,

The rest of the crew stand by behind the wall, just like Biina did, and fight the bandits.

There are two ways for enemies to destroy turrets. Do you shoot from afar, or do you get close to it?

It was enough to block projectile attacks with , So the only thing to be careful of was the enemy’s approach.

But it is also easy to read.

Even if the thief had excellent stealth and mobility, and could jump over or circumvent the

Iron Wall that Claire had built.

Conversely, if you know that the opponent is going to jump over or bypass the , You can fully anticipate which route he will take.

In that case, all you have to do is place the student knights properly and intercept them.

In the end, the thieves of Beltark who came to attack the turret fell one by one at the hands of the student knights.

‘… You’re persistent.’

Joshua clicked his tongue lightly.

I was slowly getting impatient. This is because the opponent seldom breaks even though this side is far superior in numbers.

Probably because the battle is being fought in the form of a siege.

The opponent built a fortress by dominating the map through turrets and .

There is a saying that a siege requires three times the number of people on the defending side.

Even this standard of three times is just a minimum standard. It is said that the attacking side can break through by spending a lot of time and money, while the defending side can block dozens of times more people if they have a proper fort.

In a sense, it is a fight where the attacking side is at a disadvantage.

On top of that, Joshua felt like he was running out of time.

Better or sooner, someone will come.

Belairam Anderson or Lapisca may come, or Ariel’s other colleague, Marie Ruhelif, or perhaps Gene Kartix, who fainted, might wake up.

It is a battle that must be finished before that happens.

“Tank advance.”

Joshua ordered that with a sigh.

Let’s change our mind. If the opponent is engaged in defensive battles, this will become simpler as well.

Rather than sending bandit-like guerrilla troops, it is to break it down in the form of a qualitative siege.

Tankers in the uniforms of Beltark Academy lead the way,

Monsters follow him as if they were following him.

‘The turret is not free to change targeting.’

So while the tanker receives the turret’s damage deal, I decided to advance the monsters.

Yes. The only problem is the turret.

If the turret does not function properly, the opponent will be pushed out due to the difference in the number of people.

“I knew it would come out like that.”

Ariel spit out in the thick smoke.

Hearing that voice, the tanker instantly held out his shield.

Then an explosion occurred under my feet.

Tanker didn’t panic. I knew that Ariel Beheritt was an alchemist.

Knowing that fact, I wasn’t too embarrassed about the bombing.

Because of that, I couldn’t react immediately to the next action.

“…What is it?”

As I moved the shield aside, what I could see from afar was a silhouette running toward me.

Ariel Beheritt is approaching.

Even after confirming this with his own eyes, the tanker could not understand.

‘Why?’

Wizards have a chronic weakness. It seems to be strong in long-range firefights, but very weak in close combat.

It wouldn’t have been much different for an alchemist.

Therefore, it took time to grasp the situation in front of me,

Naturally, the reaction was also delayed.

“.”

Through the smoke, I see him waving his hand.

Thinking it must be a bomb, I reflexively thrust my shield in.

Before it even hits the shield, it rolls under it.

His body is gradually sinking.

‘Swamp Potion…… !’

It is common for tankers to use heavy equipment to increase their defense.

Therefore, tankers were very weak against such a change in the terrain.

I tried to get out, but I was already submerged up to my waist in the swamp and couldn’t get out.

Ariel sprays water at the tanker.

.

Previously, training to repel races with holy water is now showing its light.

Water goes straight into the tanker’s mouth without falling to the floor.

Blocking the airway at high speed. It blocks the supply of oxygen to the brain.

“Keah, uh, keuh!”

“If you have an invincibility skill, try activating it.”

From noble mtl dot com

Well, I’ll just hold out a little longer.

Before he could say that, the tanker passed out.

Seeing that, Ariel retrieved the water she used with Again.

‘A fool.’

A thief approaches Ariel.

The opponent is an alchemist. Sensing-type skills are not particularly likely.

So you won’t be aware of the existence of the thief in hiding.

And the thief’s judgment was correct.

Actually, Ariel didn’t feel the slightest sense of the approaching thief.

‘How dare an alchemist come forward?’

If a job that should be stuck in the back ranks comes forward, it’s your duty to punish it.

Thinking so, the thief cut off Ariel’s side.

Her blood is pouring from Ariel’s side,

However, her wound healed in an instant.

“……Huh?”

“What? Were there thieves?”

-Chin.

Ariel reached out with her right hand and grabbed her rogue by the collar.

She then threw the bomb with her left hand, which she still has one of her fingers missing.

Right under her own feet.

“Mi-crazy…!”

“It’s a gift.”

– Kwaaang!

A bomb exploded at close range, and the body of the thief caught in the explosion floated once.

Even though I fell headlong to the floor.

Ariel, who was also caught in the explosion, was standing still.

No, I will have to use a slightly different expression.

Ariel’s legs caught in the explosion were in terrible shape.

Her great wounds were opening, her flesh falling away, her blood spilling out and exposing her bones.

But if you blink her eyes, all of that disappears.

She was not mistaken for a dream.

Ariel’s pants were still torn.

She lost her left little finger…… She still hasn’t returned.

“I was wondering why you came to the front line.”

Could it have been hidden?

Joshua stared at Ariel, quietly swallowing her breath.

Ariel ran amok in her own world.

She wreaked havoc on her battlefield, scattering bombs and items at the advancing tanks.

Her warrior wielded her sword to stop Ariel.

A thief is attempting a surprise attack from behind.

Wizards and archers tried to attack from a distance, but to no avail.

Even if you get attacked, you get better on the spot.

“Sacrifice magic.”

After a long time, Joshua muttered.

“Magic that is established by sacrificing her own little finger… No, it’s magic.”

By doing so, it seems that what Ariel gained was ‘nullification of hits’.

A skill that negates the attacks she received.

It seemed to be a high-level skill that even canceled crowd control.

“Yes, I see it that way too.”

Pelyar from the side nodded his head.

“What do you think, Sir Pelyar? Do you think such a skill could exist?”

“The skill effect itself is powerful, but it’s hard to see it as unfamiliar. I’ve seen tanks and priests have skills like that. The problem is… The durability of the skill.”

“That’s right. Apparently, skill cooldowns don’t exist.”

Joshua couldn’t understand that.

However, there is no perfect skill in this world.

If it’s such a powerful skill, there’s a risk to match it, or you’ll need a strong consumption value.

‘It’s a consumption price.’

When I think about it like that, the blood that Ariel is wearing on her body is bothering me.

Ever since she first appeared, blood had been swirling around Ariel.

‘… Right.’

I understand.

“Are you ignoring the damage as much as you gave it?”

“…Yes?”

“Keep an eye on your brother, Lord Pelyar. When recovering from a wound, the fresh blood floating around your brother will decrease slightly.”

Then, after a while, the fresh blood piled up.

It’s supposed to fill in as much blood as it did damage, and consume as much blood as it took damage.

And the reason why Ariel can keep filling up with fresh blood…….

‘… Is it a turret again?’

The turret that Ariel installed had been attacking the monsters non-stop since earlier.

And the fact that the blood seems to grow every time the monster is defeated…… I guess it’s not an illusion.

“What would you like to do?”

Sir Pelyar asks from the side.

Joshua is lost in thought for a moment.

Lee Yun, who is dragging on the battle, is because they are holding a siege through a turret.

So, I tried to destroy the turret with a tanker, but Ariel is interfering.

In order to completely defeat Ariel, there is no choice but to stop the ‘supply and demand of fresh blood’, but to do so, the turret must be destroyed first.

‘… It’s a pretty twisted situation. Did older brother intend this situation in the first place?’

Joshua had no choice but to admit it.

At first, I was thinking of killing Ariel and Claire with only the monsters, but it won’t be that simple once I get to this point.

Siege warfare, as mentioned before, is a battle in which the attacking side must also spend time and resources.

In other words, there is no choice but to shed blood.

“Push on.”

All students stand up and grab their weapons.

The monsters waiting are released all at once.

Joshua also woke up.

What that meant was simple and clear.

The order for a full-scale attack has been issued.
