The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 50: Sudden Attack
POV: Eve Veilmist
_____________________________________
"What the fuck?!"
Clad in the crushing wind of the demon wind spirit, Eve, who had appeared gallantly, was speechless. There was an incredible sight unfolding before his eyes.
The Knights of the Hybrid Knights, who were maintaining the public order of the academy, collapsed on the piled ground. Only academy students with outstanding results could apply to the Hybrid Knights.
(Don't tell me, they were defeated by only one intruder!?)
In the midst of darkness, where there is drizzle. The small figure, who was wearing a coat with a hood, stood in the middle of the girls who had fainted.
"Is that you, baj*ngan, the one who did this?!" Eve asked a direct question. His hands are already armed with elemental aero, «Ray Hawk».
It was only about 30 minutes ago that he heard reports that an intruder had appeared in the academy and looted secret materials from the seal specifications from the library.
Eve immediately issued a chase order to one Knight platoon, and while she used her wind spirit to give instructions to each platoon, she chased after the intruder alone.
And then, while traveling at high speed to the place where he lost contact with them, they were in that condition. The Elementalist before his eyes remained silent. Only the presence of scorn is transmitted.
"So, then, I'll make you talk whether you like it or not."
«Ray Hawk», where Eve took the horses, was filled with strong winds. Just by looking, a contracted spirit figure could not be found around that person.
It seemed like that person was also not holding the elemental aero. However, the elementalist, before his eyes, had defeated 5 girls from the Knights.
(Did he use some kind of spirit that has flesh? The identity of the opponent is completely unknown. Or, instead of not finding a contracted spirit figure, was his opponent not an elementalist? No, it's impossible.)
For example, even if one launched a surprise attack, something like someone, who was not even an elementalist, to defeat five Knight members alone was impossible.
(Then I have to confirm it with my eyes!)
Eve took a position with Ray Hawk and attacked like a strong wind. The opponent finally reacted. A muffled voice sounded from under his hand.
* ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᚹ ᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ*
"Manifest, Wolf Fanged Spirit, World El Fang."
At that moment, a line pattern appeared on the ground, and a spirit with the appearance of a ferocious wolf was summoned.
"That's your spirit, huh? However, it doesn't match my demonic wind spirit!"
As she ran, Eve unsheathed her spear horizontally. The wisp of strong wind he released cut through the roadside trees as he rushed towards Wolf El Fang.
Eve accelerated like she was sucked in by her homemade whirlwind, ignored the stranded Wolf El Fang, and directed straight at the elementalist.
He kicked the ground. His academy skirt waved as Eve jumped up. He would do his craft, swooping attacks from the sky. It was a technique that had defeated all the upperclassmen during the practice match.
With the contracted spirit stranded, the elementalist, who had become helpless, looked up. And then, the person faced Eve and pointed his palm towards her.
"What!?"
*ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᚹ ᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ ᚠ ᚢ ᚱ ᚲ ᚷ ᚠᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚲ ᚹᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ *
"Manifest, Rising Thunder Spirit (Blast Wave)!"
At that moment, a bluish-white lightning bolt, detached from his palm, shot toward Eve.
Eve, who did not expect something like an attack to come towards her, received a direct strike and crashed without being able to dodge in midair.
Without delay, Wolf El Fang rushed in and attacked. It pressed Eve, who was thrown to the ground, and tried to bite her throat.
On the verge of that defeat, he thought he heard a sound that tore through the air, then the Wolf El Fang's body was cut into four pieces in an instant, burning into ashes.
Eve raised her face and traced the red remains that tore through the night sky with her eyes.
"You owe me one thing, Eve Veilmist." Victoria Blade of the Crow Class descended with the Fire Whip in her hand.
"Eve, are you okay?!" Armed with a silver sword, Kirigaya Kaizo runs.

POV: Kirigaya Kaizo

Kaizo rushes to Eve's side, which has already fallen. Armed with the elemental aero, Rune Nyx, he stood with his arms open as if protecting her. Victoria was not far from there and Tiana also ran later, out of breath.
Kaizo shrugged Eve's shoulders and she turned red and turned her face away.
"I-It's not a big deal."
"What's really going on, who's that guy?"
"It's nothing to involve you. This has been entrusted to the Knights, so back off."
"That's not gonna work. We are elementalists. And even if there are no Knights, we have an obligation to fight to protect the academy."
"like that. Besides that..." Looking directly at Eve's face, Kaizo said, "Our precious friend is hurt, do you think we can remain silent?"
"Kaizo?!" Eve's face turned crimson and she pressed down on her chest tightly.
At that moment, the Elementalist before his eyes raised his voice. For some reason, it was an annoying voice, "Hey, I can't believe you came. Kirigaya Kaizo's."
"Who are you? Why do you know my name?"
"Your name is famous, you know. You're the same as me, a male elementalist."
"What!?"
The Elementalist before his eyes slowly took off his coat with a hood.
At that moment, all of them in that place gulped. Seen from under the mantle was his dark brown skin, which had tattoos all over his body with red eyes glaring and shining, it was a boy.
"It's like that, don't tell me there's a male elementalist other than Kaizo!?" Victoria raised a surprised voice.
No, a girl disguised as a man. It was not just his voice and face, no matter how one looked at his physique, it was a man.
(This man, who is in this world, No, put that aside now!)
In front of Kaizo's eyes, the wounded Knight girls had fainted.
"Is this done by you?"
"Yes. But I didn't kill them. The land was raised in a soft mini garden and was not worth killing."
"What did you say!?"
"Relax, Eve, it's just a cheap provocation."
Eve gritted her teeth and whispered near Kaizo's ear, "Be careful, Kirigaya Kaizo. He has a double contract with spirits."
"Double contract?"
A double contract is, in other words, a contract with two spirits at the same time. By using some spirits, one could compensate for the weaknesses of his fighting style.
However, exchanging contracts with some spirits would only be detrimental in most cases. The contracted spirit fellows caused a disturbance, making it impossible to realize their original strength.
Kaizo must be in that situation right now. Since the contract with the dark spirit was unbroken, it ended up shutting down the power of Nyx, who was originally an even stronger spirit.
"A male spirit contractor. Besides, a double contractor?"
"Yes, the spirit he used was a Wolf El Fang melee type fight and a Blast Wave ranged attack." Eve nodded.
"Hey, can you ignore this for today? I have no mood to fight you now."
"What was that?" Kaizo frowned at the boy, who flicked his hands like he was making fun of him.
"As long as I get this, it's okay."
The boy took out a small black lithograph from his breast pocket to show them.
"What's that?"
"The secret ingredient of the seal specification that I stole from the academy library. Using a special spirit device, it was filled with high density information that could be deciphered."
While arming herself with her demonic wind spear, Eve muttered, "The secret ingredient of the seal specification, why did you steal such an object?!"
