Top Instructor of a Third-Rate Academy Chapter 127 : Chapter 127

127

The first thought that ca to mind was a question.

Why?

There were still a few months left until the appearance of the third demon that Rozalin spoke of.

The first and second demons appeared sooner than we expected.

But no one thought the third demon would appear this quickly.

Isn't that why all the main forces moved to catch the second demon?

The second thought that ca to mind was manpower for fighting.

‘Who do we have?’

, Yuria, Pan, Berlis who lost an arm, the teachers and students who awakened Mana, and…….

As I recalled the children's nas and faces, I unconsciously jumped up from my seat.

It was because of the third thought that ca to mind last.

‘Where did it appear?’

The third demon appears right here, at Akarind Academy and the Akarind Territory.

As a result, Akarind Academy is half-destroyed, and I lose my life there.

I have to go.

Just as I was about to rush out.

“Teacher!”

With a loud voice, Yuria almost threw herself at and grabbed my arm.

“No! You cannot! Teacher, this is the demon that kills you! Even though you had already established Aura in the past, you died to this demon! Ranged attacks! And magic effects! The demon that hasn't appeared yet is a sword! It's a sword! It's a demon you cannot defeat!”

Yuria shouted as if screaming, her eyes brimming with tears she couldn't stop.

The strength in her arms hugging my arm was incredibly strong.

“W-We ca for humanity to save Teacher! No! Teacher, you cannot go! You must endure, survive sohow, and hold out until other people co!”

“No.”

However, Yuria's body was rely that of an 11-year-old child.

No matter how ard she was with holy power, it wasn't difficult to pull my arm away.

“That's why I have to go even more.”

If this guy really was a demon related to swords, I had to move quickly.

Most of the students in our academy who could fight were children who used Aura.

The mont a demon appears in this world, it announces its presence to everyone.

It was clear that the bravest and most outstanding children would run with a sense of responsibility.

How empty would it be to talk about humanity and human stories after losing all of them?

“There's no one else but .”

“Berlis! That person is here too! Ulf is here too! They are here! They exist!”

Berlis lost her power by exploding all her summons in the last battle.

On top of that, she even lost one arm.

She pretended to be calm when eting people, but I saw it.

Her complexion was clearly sickly, and her hand was trembling slightly when she grabbed my arm earlier.

Given her nature as a Necromancer, it was clear she hadn't even received proper healing magic from Yuria.

I couldn't drive such a person to the battlefield.

Furthermore, Ulf wasn't a perfect ally.

Ulf's main body wasn't here; transmitting intent using a clone was all she did.

We couldn't blindly wait for an ally who might or might not co, and even if she ca, we didn't know when.

“Teacher…… Please…….”

“Yuria.”

I spoke to Yuria, who was crying like a child, almost broken.

“If I am truly destined to die here, you are the only one who can save now.”

Decent damage could be blocked with holy power.

If Yuria assisted , I could swing my sword at least two or three more tis.

With that much, I should be able to drive away a demon.

I dealt with the Giant-Block with just a single slash, after all.

“I'm counting on you.”

Leaving Yuria behind like that, I ran out into the pouring rain.

RUMBLE CRAASH!

Thunder followed almost imdiately after the lightning flashed.

While the world flashed white, a faint figure seed to be glimpsed.

‘Mana is moving.’

As soon as I ca out to the outside world, I felt a persistent and gloomy energy spreading through the rain in the air.

It was an energy I had felt once recently.

‘It’s killing intent.’

It was the energy Werner, the Chief Knight of the Lionheart Knights, had sent .

An expression of will that he would surely kill .

And that ant.

‘It's a demon targeting .’

Various emotions swirled.

Who am I, for all regressors to flock here debating whether to protect or not?

Who am I, for a demon, even a demon, to step forward and try to kill ?

The demons that had appeared until now were all incredibly grandiose.

Ranged weapons, divine power, magic.

But at the end of that, Cassian.

Isn't it truly unimpressive?

Driven by half fear and half amusent, I moved.

The place I arrived at was the training ground prepared in one corner of my dormitory.

A space Avril created solely for my swordsmanship textbook, and…….

The place where Aura was born.

[Has the New Master of Breath arrived?]

The bastard was standing in the rain, waiting for to co.

His physique was about 2 ters.

Armor like an insect's exoskeleton was stuck all over his body, emitting a red glow.

His face rippled with fog as if flowing from hellfire, making it impossible to confirm his proper appearance.

His voice didn't co from that body, but rang out booming and indistinct as if surging from a deep, deep abyss.

However, one thing.

The energy the bastard exuded was real.

“Phew.”

I intuited it.

I'm going to die here.

It wasn't an opponent to gauge strength against.

I drew my sword, opening all abilities, even the gaze Ulf had sealed.

[We are one who reigns in the Demon Realm, one who rules, and at the sa ti, one who commands.]

Bat-like wings rippled and unfolded from the demon's back.

It truly looked like a demon appearing in myths.

[We have co in person to eliminate the entity that could threaten us. We shall harvest your soul and make you suffer for eons in the abyss of hell.]

The entire world I looked at was painted black.

Death darker than dark clouds covered the sky, covered the landscape, and erased the entire world except for .

It was the bastard's attack range.

‘I can't avoid it.’

[The only rcy We can grant you is suicide. In the mont of death, you will be able to avoid pain.]

I cald my breathing and took a stance.

Laughter flowed from the demon beyond the sword.

It was laughter that seed to mock no matter how I looked at it.

[Co! We shall teach you that death was the sweetest thing!]

Cassian's Swordsmanship, First Form.

Proper Cut.

I drew a straight line in the black-painted sky.

The curtain was torn to the left and right.

BOOOOM!

I felt my body floating in the air.

I cut it, but I couldn't completely scatter the force.

I sohow flailed my limbs in the air to balance myself and lowered my body.

The mont my feet touched the ground, I grabbed the sword in a reverse grip and stabbed it into the ground.

I barely fixed my body by digging a long furrow in the ground with the sword.

My body stopped only after being pushed back about 5 ters.

I imdiately lifted my head to examine the situation.

The demon was still in its place, and the training ground and my house were completely destroyed.

Black flas burned everywhere, and the debris within the flas lted, emitting an ominous purple aura.

[What bizarre power. It is a sword but cannot be called a sword, and magic but cannot be called magic. It is truly death that severs life.]

I raised my body with my teeth clenched tight enough to break.

It felt as if my body had reached its limit with just a single sword technique.

Blood flowed down from the corner of my mouth, and my arms felt like they would snap at any mont.

But I couldn't avoid it.

Because I heard the sound of children running from afar.

‘I have to do it.’

I took a stance again and stepped forward.

It was fortunate.

Thanks to seeing The Spear God's spearmanship, I knew how to cut a massive plane.

Again, the world is dyed black in an instant.

Cut.

This ti, I didn't simply cut, but lowered my body and slid forward.

I felt sothing explode behind my back.

Again, the world turns black.

I cut again this ti too.

I felt sothing snap in my left arm.

Strength loosened from the hand holding the arm, and my left arm flopped and fell regardless of my will.

I gripped my right arm harder.

However, the light of the Aura faded.

It seed there was a problem not only with the arm but also with the Mana Road.

Again, the world turns black.

Cut.

An explosion occurred behind again, and riding the wind, I rolled forward a couple of tis and took a stance.

I couldn't see out of my left eye.

Half of my vision disappeared.

It was Sordian's world.

Blind spots increased, and one arm didn't move.

I modified my stance by transforming my entire body.

I narrowed the range the sword covered and confird the direction I could see.

The mont I took a stance to see all attacks the demon unfolded.

Again, the world turned black.

I endured.

KABOOOM!

This ti, I couldn't cut it and barely managed to block it with Fel's Three Sword Forms.

I barely protected major organs like the heart, brain, and lungs with the sword.

The sword blade was completely damaged and looked like it would shatter into pieces at any mont.

Aura was barely holding the sword together.

However, the Aura was tearing my body to shreds.

My body bent on its own, and even standing was difficult.

‘Haha…….’

I cut and cut endlessly, but I haven't been able to land a single effective hit on that demon yet.

‘Even once…….’

Even though the demon covered the world in darkness nurous tis, its power didn't drop at all.

I couldn't send such a demon to the children.

At least one arm.

Or even one of those wings.

Or I had to cut off even a single finger.

[The end of your suffering will be futility.]

The demon mocked and dyed the world black.

‘……As expected, am I dying?’

The death I experienced in a world I didn't know was being reenacted again.

Did I die like this back then too?

What did my disciples think watching my death back then?

Rozalin and Hati aren't here right now; will they cry a lot when they hear the news that I died later?

Will Yuria be okay?

Nurous worries brushed through my mind in an instant.

They say so people reflect on their life and see a panorama before death.

I can only think of students.

Laughter burst out.

The world was completely dyed black.

Soon.

“Teacher―!”

With a shout, I felt a hand pulling .

WHOOSH, I felt my body's condition recover in an instant.

Pain revived in my left arm, where I felt nothing just a mont ago.

My creaky knees stepped on the ground more firmly, and the range of motion of my joints was wide.

My dark vision expanded twofold at once.

And I felt soone blocking my front and covering my upper body to protect .

A child like a white ball of yarn.

It was Yuria.

“I'm not late.”

I was moving my body from the very mont all my senses revived.

Hugging Yuria who blocked my front with my left hand, I swung my sword with the other hand.

CLAAAANG―!

A sharp sound rang out because I couldn't cut properly, but I was still able to strike away the opponent's attack.

What had covered the world with black planes until now were the wings attached to the bastard's back.

Massive wings ters wide fluttered as if they had life and bombarded everywhere.

“Teacher! I, I ca! I did!”

Yuria fumbled my chest with a tearful face.

Her hands were soaked in blood.

It seed to be blood flowing from my body.

Warm energy pushed endlessly into my body.

“Sorry. I know this request is hard, but could you help swing my sword just once?”

Yuria nodded her head while sobbing.

I stood Yuria aside and raised my body.

‘I am making a cruel request.’

Because my body was different from others, if holy power was poured into it, the side exerting the divine power took damage.

Not only Yuria, but even the current Saint Ganemia used to collapse without being able to heal properly.

Even now, Yuria was trembling all over, bleeding from the corner of her mouth.

So I had to finish the bastard as surely as possible.

Just stepping on the ground hurt as if the soles of my feet were burning, but I could still stand up..

I raised my sword towards the demon.

[Foolish. In the end, it is just adding the sa struggle in vain one more ti.]

Would it be so?

For a short ti, I swung my sword frantically, only thinking about blocking.

But the last one ti.

The mont the clumsily cut sword and the bastard's wing clashed.

I saw the path to the bastard.

“Phew…….”

I cald my breathing and raised my sword.

It might still be hard alone, but…….

“Teacher!”

“You held out well! I have co!”

“Excellent!”

Nurous voices rang out at once.

Darkness slightly more brilliant than the demon's black light spread everywhere.

Clumsy Auras cut in all directions.

Commanding them was a massive verdure.

Bare trees like giants moved their thick legs and swung their arms.

Now that I have companions, I can reach the bastard.
