I Became an Outcast in the Academy - Chapter 62



10. Struggling (8)

Dark magic is the power of the negative dimension originating from demons that do not exist in the material world.

The evil power itself that fundamentally denies the world and corrupts all things in the wrong direction.

The dark magic that has crossed the dimensional boundary and flowed into this world degenerates the body and mind of the person who wields that power, and in return gives the user powerful power.

That is why this world and the empire have always oppressed black magic and black magicians who manipulate its power.

Originally, being able to obtain the power that could have been obtained through constant effort as well as natural talent since childhood, by simply contacting a demon for a short period of time was in itself an act of breaking the balance of the world. .

“… I’m really going to turn around. “I couldn’t believe it, but you were only this level of a person.”

And now, Sian clicked her tongue as she saw the spirits that were contaminated with black magic and were emitting much more powerful power than she had before.

Not only did Lobelia join hands with her warlock, but she also used black magic to drastically enhance her own power, and she did not want to say anything.

At this point, Lobelia was in many ways standing at the edge of a cliff, and it was quite reasonable to accept her black magic to strengthen her own power.

However, Cyan did not simply disapprove of her because she was dealing with her false power called Lobelia’s dark magic.

“If you are going to join hands with black magicians, you must completely accept black magic into your body. The solution you came up with to avoid contamination of the body and mind was to pollute the spirits with black magic?”

It was like that. Now, in order to strengthen her own power, Lobelia has even touched her forbidden power called her black magic, but she is concerned that her own body will be contaminated by black magic and become corrupted. In the end, she refused to accept that power into her body.

Instead, Lobelia used her black magic to contaminate the spirits she controlled.

Even if she doesn’t necessarily get her hands dirty, if she uses this method, her Lobelia power will increase significantly as a result.

“… I couldn’t help it. In the future, I will marry Ricardo and become the Crown Princess. “If I accept dark magic into my body, all my future plans will be shattered.”

Certainly, it was a quite understandable excuse even to her own eyes.

Lobelia’s wish is to rise to the highest level of her empire and to have in her hands the wealth, honor, and power she had not enjoyed as a child.

In order to make that wish come true, she can join hands with a warlock, but she must avoid the corruption of her body by accepting black magic into her body.

“Besides, it’s all your fault for making me make this choice, right?”

“… What?”

For a moment, Sian wondered if she had misheard something.

“If my brother hadn’t been an obstacle in my path from the beginning, if he hadn’t unlocked the ability that strengthens my talent, and if he hadn’t joined hands with that damn princess and hindered me at every turn, then I wouldn’t have used dark magic. “There was no need to touch it!”

“… “It’s ridiculous. Now that I see it, it seems like he was just babbling what came out of his mouth.”

Of course, Lobelia’s words were not the least bit convincing to her Cyan.

He shouldn’t have gotten in Lobelia’s way? And instead of canceling ‘Return to Life’, he had to maintain that ability for Lobelia until his death?

That’s ridiculous. No, it was beyond laughable and ridiculous.

Does Lobelia think that she must unconditionally take Lobelia’s side, no matter what dirty and disgusting things she does to her Cyan?

‘That girl seems to be the tree I generously give to.’

If not, she perceived him as an easy-going guy.

“Yes, this is all your fault. It’s all your fault for driving me to this point and making me make this choice. So… Is it okay for me to vent my anger on you a little bit? Huh?”

Lobelia held her palm tightly again.

Gurgling!

The next moment, a thunderbolt larger than a sizeable house rains down from the air toward Xi’an.

“Ugh!”

She managed to swing her sword and cut down the thunderbolt just before it hit her directly, but the power of the thunderbolt sent by Lobelia was so great that her fingertips tingled.

“What do you think? It’s not that easy this time, right? This is the strength I gained by enduring great disadvantages in my own way. “No matter how strong you are, it will be quite difficult to defeat me now.”

Behind Lobelia, seven spirits of flame, wind, water, lightning, earth, light and darkness, imbued with black magic, all appear.

Sure enough, Lobelia had already long ago polluted all the spirits corresponding to the seven attributes using her black magic.

“Then I beg you, please don’t die easily. “After accepting the dark magic, these kids have become a bit violent, and it’s quite difficult for me to control my strength, right?”

When Lobelia gives her command, her spirits make a huge roar and rush towards Xian.

The flames burn, the atmosphere distorts, and the blade of water pressure cuts in all directions. Lightning strikes, the earth splits, and light and darkness descend as if encroaching on the surrounding area.

“Keuuu!”

Xian tried to find a loophole in Lobelia by somehow avoiding the attacks of the seven spirits, but unfortunately, it was not an easy task.

The power exerted by the spirits contaminated with black magic was on a different level from the power Lobelia had displayed until now.

Previously, if Sian wanted to, she could have killed Lobelia, but the situation has now turned around.

‘Damn… If Cartesia helps me, it won’t be impossible to break through those spirits.’

For a moment, Sian thought so in her mind, but then shook her head.

No matter how difficult it was to see a breakthrough, such a thought was extremely fragile.

From No ble mt L dot c om

In the first place, the plan was to lure the enemy into a trap using himself as bait, but the reason he agreed to Cartesia’s crazy plan to invade the other side’s home ground and have a fair one-on-one match was none other than revenge. Wasn’t it because of his desire not to leave behind any regrets?

But now, just because the situation is a little unfavorable, you shouldn’t change that decision and hope for someone else’s help.

Revenge against Lobelia is entirely up to Xian. So, I don’t need or want anyone else’s help.

‘If this continues, I will be no match for you.’

The power wielded by the seven spirits contaminated with black magic is so strong that it is reminiscent of a natural disaster, and since they are under the control of Lobelia, they have built a siege like an army and are continuously pushing him into a corner.

If things continue like this, as Lobelia said earlier, there is a very high possibility that he will be captured alive by her, have his brain manipulated by her warlocks, and become a living talent enhancement machine.

‘In the end, you have to be caught off guard. Somehow, we have to make room for Lobelia. That way I have a chance of winning.’

But I could not find any loopholes in those polluted spirits and Lobelia, who was manipulating them.

Then, there is only one way to create a loophole in Lobelia.

‘There is no choice but to forcefully create loopholes for the other party through external factors!’

Xian, who had been looking at the surrounding situation for a moment, immediately rushed towards Lobelia. Then, he concentrated his entire body’s magic into the sword and swung it towards the lightning spirit that had bothered him the most until now.

“The melody of the night!”

In an instant, the sword that Xian was holding differentiated into several pieces, and each one became a substance and started rushing towards the lightning spirit!

“To be stupid. Do you think I will just watch my brother attack with open eyes?”

At the same time as Lobelia laughed, the lightning spirit’s attack poured down on Sian.

Passy!

Xian’s surprise attack caused by the melody of the night was canceled out by Lobelia’s quick response.

No, it goes beyond the level of offset, and several strands of lightning reminiscent of a winding snake rain down on the target called Xian.

“Ha!”

However, Xian somehow managed to avoid the direct hit of the lightning by twisting his body in the air. And the lightning that passes by his body flies behind his back and disappears.

“I don’t know what they’re planning, but it’s all in vain… “

At that moment, Lobelia opened her eyes wide.

‘Huh?’

The power of the thunderbolts that Lobelia fired toward Xian was all powerful.

In other words, even if it fails to hit the target, the thunderbolts do not lose their power and continue to shoot out behind Xian’s back.

And behind Xian’s back, there was none other than Kyreion, who was fighting against Cartesia!

Wooow-

Even before Kyreion recognizes the lightning that is shooting towards him, the magic he had laid down in advance begins to activate.

Yes, that is also natural. The Cartesia that Kyreion is dealing with moves at a much faster speed than the wizard, and her reflexes are incomparably agile.

There was no way a magician who was physically similar to an ordinary person would be able to follow Cartesia’s movements with his eyes, so Kyreion had placed magic around him that automatically intercepted enemy attacks.

And magic has no eyes. In other words, it is impossible to identify a friend.

Even if the attack was sent by Lobelia, who is tentatively on the same side, Kyreion’s magic recognizes the attack as a hostile act against his master!

Quaaang!

In response to the thunderbolt aimed at him, a huge beam of light shoots out towards Lobelia.

The power was so powerful that even where Xian, who had already ducked backwards, was standing, his face became hot.

“Ugh! “Such a modification!”

However, no matter how much Kyreion’s magic was, it was very difficult to defeat Lobelia in one blow.

She is Lobelia, who is considered to have the most powerful talent among the Empire’s elementalists.

It is true that Kyreion is a warlock as powerful as any in the world, but that does not mean that Lobelia is weak enough to be defeated by a single blow of her magic!

“Haaa!”

In the end, one of the spirits was unable to overcome the power of the magic used by Kyreion and was reverse-summoned. And at the same time, the rays of light that were attacking her were canceled out.

“… Ha, I was a little confused, but did you really think I would fall for this much magic? Too bad.”

I was surprised for a moment by Xian’s improvisation, but if you look at the result, at most it was only a reverse summoning of a spirit.

And the counter-summoned spirit can be summoned again. In practical terms, it is safe to say that there was no damage to lobelia!

“But you were letting down your guard just now, weren’t you? To the point where I don’t even check where I am right now?”

“… !”

And that was then. Xian’s voice came from behind her.

‘How soon?’

Could it be that during that brief period when Lobelia was canceling out her rays of light, she was approaching her and holding her back?

“It’s your loss. Lobelia. Just shut up and die.”

At that moment, Lobelia tried to counterattack somehow, but in the first place, she allowed Cian too much access.

No matter how hard Lobelia struggles now, it will be much faster for Cyan’s sword to pierce Lobelia’s heart!

“I hate poetry!”

The moment when Lobelia was staring blankly at her death coming toward her, engulfed in fear –

Boo!

“Ugh!”

At that moment, Xian was hit by a ray of light that penetrated his side and he was completely knocked down.

Just before the beam hit her directly, she noticed the attack and twisted her body as much as she could, but in the end, she couldn’t help but get injured.

“Lobelia, do you know that you were almost killed by your brother just now? “Do you owe me something?”

Trug.

Seeing a human figure walking towards Lobelia, talking to her in a playful tone, Sian distorted her own face.

I was afraid something like this would happen and tried to deal with Lobelia as quickly as possible, but I never thought it would turn out this way…

“… “Leticia.”

Before he knew it, Xian was standing next to Lobelia, looking at Leticia, who was smiling brightly at her, with a gloomy expression.

The current situation was going to the worst for Xian.
