Chapter 186 Offensive
This may be the first time that the Katris Academy has encountered in hundreds of years. Once "the safest place in the area around Katris" has turned into a source of chaos.
Even if they have absolute confidence in the school's defense ability, when the situation that can only be encountered in illusions on weekdays really appears in front of them, the young apprentices were shocked. They lived in peaceful times, let alone fighting enemies full of malicious intentions, even slightly dangerous monsters had never encountered them.
For today's apprentices, what they need is not a naive hero, but a leader who can effectively guide them to take refuge in safe areas. After nightfall, there are still many apprentices on the Katris campus, and every minute of delay, a large number of victims may be added.
"The academicization of the spell can certainly improve the popularity of applied spells, and limiting the popularization of combat spells is also an effective measure to maintain social stability." Liqi, who is unknown where she is, was sarcastic in Curt's mind, as if she had expected the troubles that the academy is now. "But from another perspective, the spells who lack practical training are beasts with fangs removed, and they may not even be able to protect themselves."
The spells who once pursued a few elitism had extraordinary powers. Even an ordinary apprentice could use the power of spells to turn the enemies that offend them into ashes. It is precisely because of this that the spells who look like ordinary people often become objects of awe.
But now that spells have become popular, fears caused by unknowns have been transformed into subtle trust. The sorcerers, like the spokesperson of gods, have also separated from the criticism of "powerful but dangerous" and have become "trustworthy power" - naturally. Their power is not as good as before.
A spell is not just a power, but it does have powerful power.
If you want to limit the power obtained by "knowledge", you only need to appropriately limit the access to these "knowledge". It is not limited to spells. This is true for all weapons. They can easily threaten the life safety of ordinary people, so they need to limit their existence.
But the problem is that legal provisions can only limit those who abide by them, and for some people who violate the relevant provisions from the beginning, these provisions are nothing more than ink on printed matters. And when these forces are used to harm those who abide by the provisions, kind people are unable to resist.
Limit strength. To ensure the stability of society; to grant strength to avoid the weak being hurt... At any time, this is a difficult choice. Starting from an era when the world is still shrouded in ignorance, power is often limited to the palms of a few people, and they fear that oppressed people have power that can match them.
Of course, the Dominion allows residents to have a certain degree of armed force, from joint defense squads in the neighborhood to migrant organizations like mercenaries. As long as they can give relevant certificates and leave records, they can hold corresponding levels of defense armed forces. However, the magician apprentices who are studying in school are not listed here.
So they had to flee in a panic.
Fortunately, the college insisted on the shelter contact in an emergency situation. Therefore, most students could find shelter locations as soon as possible.
"Until I accept Dean François' request to join the underground passage to find you. Most of the apprentices have gone to the designated location to take refuge." Aurodin pointed on the screen with its metal claws, and the projected images switched several times in an instant. "But because the guards left in the college territory are now seriously insufficient, we cannot effectively stop the other party from taking further action."
After Dean François sent the team of guards to Curt, he hurried to the ruins of Wiggins Monastery. According to the security officer and the academy guards who stayed there, an abnormal magical reaction was found near the monastery, which was very similar to the "dunday" that occurred at that time.
"Damn it, this is definitely a trap."
A spellman gritted his teeth and said, "Those guys are going to attack the academy. That's why they find a way to transfer the dean away in the name of 'abnormal situation'. If Dean François is guarding the academy, even if they have more than a dozen courages, they may not dare to come here to seek death."
With this angry words, intense emotions began to spread among the group of spells. They were all graduates of Katris College, and now seeing these enemies sabotage in their alma mater, everyone was shrouded in their hearts with a burning rage.
"Please calm down." Aurodin's emotionally unscrupulous synthesizer kept echoing in the underground passage, and at the same time changed to echoes after wave. "I can understand your anger, but you must understand that letting the spread of anger spread is the most inefficient way to deal with it."
Instead of getting angry, it is better to act as soon as possible - Aurodin expressed his opinions concisely and powerfully. Although this mechanical life body looks cold and inhumane, he is definitely not those dead cold iron blocks. There are souls that those puppets do not have in his body.
Now there is no time for them to vent their emotions, and they don't even have the chance to recover their energy, so they are forced to rush to the next battlefield. The guards who have not yet had time to show their ambitions and are carried by Aurodin on a temporary stretcher made of metal fragments and transported to the medical building that is close to the corner.
"Mr. Leinster, please...wait, where are you going? President François asks us to return to the ground right now to defend against the enemy's further action!"
The guard of the academy who had previously organized the spells to deal with the chimera offensive remembered Curt's existence before leaving. When he was about to call Curt to act together, he saw the sick mercenary preparing to walk to the depths of the underground passage like a maze.
"Please say sorry for me and Dean François."
Curt picked up a piece of fence fragments with arms length from the remaining metal on the ground and waved it gently in his hand: "My companion is still in the underground passage. If I don't find her, I can't return to the ground with peace of mind. And... even if I want to go back, you have to leave someone to break the back, right?"
He pointed to the other side of the passage, and a human-shaped outline appeared in the entrance of the passage where the chimera soldiers had walked out. With the lights that had been lit before, the magician could vaguely see that the outline had a hill-like body, and dense ancient characters were engraved on its thick body.
"Well, what the hell is this!"
He had already known that this place would become the entrance for the opponent to continue his march, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. After the group of chimera soldiers were defeated by the spell array they formed, the opponent once again sent out important attackers. No matter from any angle, the guy who came here now was a tricky enemy.
"Scan: This target is not a living body, but a corpse driven by magic. The magic cores that provide the power source are located in the head and abdomen. After analysis, its torso information is a wasteland monster, and its limb information is a cave king... It is speculated that it should be able to exert 70% of the corresponding functions in front of it."
A faint blue light shot from the lens on the Aurotine skeleton towards the huge body that was slowly approaching, illuminating its image to the slightest. It was so full that it was like a body carved out of rocks, revealing its bone-bone arms and crooked head... It was simply a standard stitching corpse shape.
"Thank you for your analysis, Aurodin, I'll treat you to a drink after everything is over." Curt smiled and thanked Aurodin who analyzed the enemy's situation. "If I remember correctly, you should prefer the oil extracted from those fossil fuels."
After saying that, his smile subsided, and his murderous gaze shot towards the corpse slowly approaching. He held the iron rod he had copied in his hand like a short sword, and took a deep breath to purify the magic power and poured it into the iron rod. The dark metal was immediately coated with a dull white luster.
"I understand, I will report the relevant situation to Dean Cruise François." Aurodin did not pay attention to Curt's random jokes, but did not stop him from acting. "I will ask the academy guards to block the nearby intersections. Please be careful when operating in the underground passage."
Curt was the person chosen by Dean François to solve the problem. Aurodin believed that he had certain abilities. So after the last academy guard ran towards the exit, he followed him and turned away. Only Curt and his enemies who were approaching with stumble.
Just as the spells left the corridor, the other party also accelerated. Unfortunately, no matter how it moved its legs, the rotten limb could only move slowly on the ground. While moving forward, it also waved its forearm as thick as a tree trunk - it was indeed the limb of the cave King Kong. The wall slapped by the suture-covered arm made a low sound of destruction, and large cracks appeared.
Curt must admit that if only considering strength, this monster made of stitched corpses is stronger than those chimera soldiers. But like those guys, its problems are obvious - its head is rotten and it also lacks the necessary thinking ability.
The moment it hit the wall, Curt's body turned into a black shadow. He rushed into the other party's arms, and then stabbed the sharp head of the iron rod into the rotten head like a long sword. The metal block filled with magic had a sharpness that it did not have, and in an instant it cut its head in half.
Ding, Ding Ding Ding...
The crooked head turned into pieces of flesh and blood under the slash of Curt using the iron rod. A shining lapis lazuli flew out of the gap and fell into the corner of the nearby wall. Curt could see that this lapis lazuli was exactly the same as that Liqi took out from the rock spiders.
And there is also a gas that emits a foul smell. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
