Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Bang!
3/4
With Professor Yeno's loud shout, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared from all directions around Reji and Vielsia.
They were all wearing gray robes, with masks painted with strange patterns on their faces, completely blocking their escape routes.
Among these followers, there were mages holding staffs, and under the torches, there were sword and axe-wielders with terrifying light shining on their blades.
Without a doubt, this was a well-planned ambush.
At this moment, Vielsia was more puzzled than shocked by Professor Yeno's identity as a traitor to the Demon Race.
In Professor Yeno's crazed speech just now, he described them as the best sacrifices, even as a gift to the "king."
Reji was introduced to Professor Yeno by her today.
So this "gift" could only refer to her.
An ordinary-looking, ordinary-born, and transfer student from another place who is only interested in ancient history, could she be described as the "king's gift" by Yeno, this fanatical human traitors to the Demon Race?
Obviously not.
There was only one possibility left.
This was what made Vielsia's heart sink.
Her identity had been exposed.
Yeno had discovered her identity as an "elf."
That was why he gave her that so-called invitation to the gathering!
Everything that was happening now was a trap specifically designed for her, this "elf princess"!
'Damn it!'
At this moment, Vielsia felt anger towards being deceived and schemed against, but more than that, she felt regret and guilt towards Reji.
It was her.
She had implicated Reji.
She had also put this young human in danger.
Taking a deep breath, Vielsia forced herself to calm down. Now was not the time to think about these things.
She quickly looked around. Among the human traitors to the Demon Race, the sword and axe-wielders had already raised their cold and shining blades, and under Yeno's command, they were quickly closing in on the two of them.
While the mages began to chant, the magical power fluctuations quickly gathered, and in a few seconds, they would be hit by a storm of spells.
What to do? What to do?
Hurry!
Think about how the elders taught you to fight!
What should be used now?
Forest Barrier? Emerald Longbow? Treant Guard?
At this moment, when Vielsia was feeling nervous and her mind was blank, she suddenly felt the rapid gathering of magical power from beside her. Immediately after,
[Silence]
[Wind Speech]
Reji did not need a staff, his fingers moved in the air as he casted the spells. These two first-tier low-level spells were released in an instant and shot towards the mages in the distance.
As a first-Tier spell, [Silence] could only interrupt one mage. However, when combined with the first-Tier [Wind Speech] it created an expansion effect.
A gust of wind carrying the [silence] spell roared towards them, and several mages nearby were forced to raise their hands to resist. Their chants were naturally interrupted.
Before Vielsia could react, Reji chanted two more spells.
[Flying Sand and Rock]
[Water Bullet]
The second-Tier earth attribute spell, Flying Sand and Rock, summoned a large patch of sand, mainly to interfere with the enemy's line of sight.
But when combined with the first-Tier water attribute spell, Water Bullet, the sand was soaked by the water bullets, and large patches of mud were formed on the ground.
The approaching swordsmen and axe-wielders were stuck in the mud, greatly slowing down their movements.
Hah?...
Vielsia turned to look at Reji beside her.
Previously, Reji's image in this elf princess's heart was always that of a gentleman, a scholar who had inherited the Wisdom Orb, knowledgeable, and had great pull.
But now...
The magical power fluctuations lifted Reji's clothes, and the wind speech spell blew his hair.
The image of the mage who remained calm in the face of danger, who could create a powerful control field in a very short time through the delicate combination of spells, even using low-level spells, deeply shocked Vielsia.
As for what Reji said next,
"Miss Vielsia, please stand behind me."
Reji didn't hesitate to stand in front of Vielsia, as if he would step forward to protect his student in any danger, whether as a teacher or as Vielsia's mentor.
Looking at Reji's back in front of her, Vielsia felt a kind of emotion she had never felt before.
The elf princess didn't know what this emotion was.
But Vielsia knew one thing:
No one could hurt her teacher in front of her, not even a bit!
Thick Mana quickly gathered on the elf's body.
Many green light spots appeared in the air of the basement.
A heavy life aura bloomed under Vielsia's feet, and thick green vines broke through the ground and grew crazily, even overturning the floor tiles.
Mysterious chants from the elven language was chanted from Vielsia's mouth.
The translation of the elven language meant roughly:
[Strangle]
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The vines turned into ropes and bound towards these human traitors.
And because of Reji's perfect control field before, the mages were silenced and couldn't use spells, while the swordsmen and axe-wielders were stuck in the mud. The vines faced almost no resistance and successfully coiled around these followers like pythons.
"Ugh. Ugh."
The feeling of compression, suffocation, and the cruel thick vines were just as ruthless as the caster Vielsia towards these heretics who had been brainwashed by the Demon Race and surrendered to them.
Their necks were tightened by the vines, and their limbs were twisted and deformed under the enormous binding force. In the end, they couldn't even scream in pain and were completely strangled to death by the vines.
On the other side,
Compared to the death of his followers, Professor Yeno's eyes widened even more, and he stared at Vielsia in shock.
"Wha-what."
"This spell is impossible! This magic power fluctuation is third-Tier? No, no! It's a fourth-Tier spell!
How is this possible!!"
Professor Yeno shouted in disbelief.
His main target was Reji that Lordan had ordered him to assassinate.
When Reji cast those obstructive first and second-Tier spells, Professor Yeno frowned, but it was within his expectations.
After all, if Reji were not skilled, how could he have been ordered by his "Master" to be assassinated?
But now,
Looking at the basement meeting room that seemed to have turned into a wild jungle cave in the blink of an eye, covered with crazy vines, Professor Yeno was shocked.
What's going on?
What kind of monster is that speckled female student!
Vielsia should be just an ordinary transfer student, right!?
How did this happen?
