“What?”

“Has that bastard gone crazy?”

The sudden unexpected situation left those around with bewildered expressions.

“Even so, isn’t he being too blatantly reckless?”

As Leo curled up the corners of his mouth, the male student grinned wickedly.

“It doesn’t matter. I plan to kill all the brats in this surrounding area, including you at the very least.”

“Do you think that’s possible?”

Whoosh-!

Leo unleashed his aura.

Seeing the crimson burning flame aura, the male student grinned wickedly and reached his hand into the air.

Gooooo-!

Space opened as if splitting through the air.

A pitch-black space opened and from it emerged a dark red greatsword.

Leo’s eyes twitched at the sight.

‘A cursed sword? A close-combat type demon.’

“Let me see your skills for once!”

The demon who shouted swung his greatsword.

Whoooooosh! Kwagagagagagak-!

A whirlwind of dark red sword energy swept forth.

The sword energy attack that devastated the surrounding area flew toward Leo.

Seeing this, Leo threw his body.

Kwaang-!

Leo pushed back the whirlwind of sword energy with his flame aura.

However, the demon’s aura tore Leo’s flames to shreds.

Leo threw his body.

Thud-

Kwagagagak-!

The dark red whirlwind destroyed where Leo had been standing and then disappeared.

“Hmph. I had expectations since you’re called All Class or whatever. But you’re nothing special.”

Hearing the demon’s words, Leo gripped his sword tightly.

‘A demon of merely this level is rampaging in Lumern?’

Leo narrowed his eyes.

The demon before his eyes was strong.

But that was only by Lumern 1st Year Students standards.

It didn’t make sense to attack Lumern with just this level of power.

The moment he thought that far.

Kwaang-!

A loud explosion sound came from the cafeteria.

Students who had been in confusion from the sudden situation looked toward the cafeteria with startled expressions.

“Wh-what the hell!”

“What’s happening?”

It was when students were showing shocked expressions at the sudden situation.

Crackle-!

The sound of intense sparks flying could be heard.

Along with that.

Pababababababat! Kwagagagang!

“Kraaaak!”

Golden lightning struck down from the air.

The demon who had been targeting Leo let out a scream filled with pain.

“You must be dying to die. Rampaging in the heart of Lumern with this level of skill.”

Whoosh-!

Duran, who landed from the air, wore a cold smile.

Along with him, several students from the Duran Faction prepared for battle beside Duran.

“Kukukukukuk.”

The demon who had been writhing in pain soon looked at Duran with flashing eyes.

“Duran Moira, I don’t have time to deal with the likes of you. My target is the 1st year representative Leo Flobe.”

Duran’s eyes twitched.

“Hah, how insolent. You’re going to target Leo Flobe while ignoring me?”

Duran’s lips twisted.

Pababat-! Sparks flew from his golden eyes.

Students nearby flinched and trembled.

“Eek!”

“Get away! He’s angry!”

While students made a fuss and hurriedly- created distance, the demon reached his hand into the air.

Zing-! Chuk-! Chuk-! Chuk-!

Space opened in the air and from there, troops armed with armor and weapons began to emerge.

Students who saw this showed shocked expressions.

“Spatial movement should be impossible within Lumern!?”

“How did he summon troops!?”

It was when everyone was shocked at the fact that the demon before them wasn’t simply rampaging alone.

‘He didn’t summon them from outside. These troops are all this guy’s minions.’

Leo frowned and carefully observed the troops the demon had summoned.

‘Corpses.’

An existence capable of using corpses to launch a large-scale invasion of Lumern.

A certain monster flashed through Leo’s mind.

‘Overlord King Hel Kaiser?’

But he soon shook his head.

The Overlord King was skilled at devising cunning and secretive schemes.

‘No. This crude method isn’t his way.’

Leo narrowed his eyes.

‘Rather, this is something the Monster Queen would do.’

He thought of an aggressive and cruel monster.

Whatever the case, the demon before his eyes wasn’t a subordinate of the Overlord King or Monster Queen.

He couldn’t feel the aura of either Legion Commander at all.

Crucially, what was moving the corpses wasn’t necromancy.

‘Then what the hell is it?’

It was when Leo was frowning.

“Prepare yourself! Leo Flobe!”

The demon who had left Duran to his subordinates charged forward with a sinister laugh.

Leo blocked the greatsword that was swung aiming for his neck.

Clang-! Thud-!

With a sharp sound, Leo’s feet dug- into the ground.

It was when Leo, who had met swords, narrowed his eyes and tried to push back his opponent.

Crackle-!

“To look away at another guy while ignoring me. You’ve got some nerve.”

Duran, who had broken through the troops, aimed for the demon’s back with a cold sneer.

Instantly, the demon hastily created distance from Leo.

Kwagagagak-!

Golden aura embroidered the air.

Thud-!

Duran landed lightly on the ground and looked at the demon with gleaming eyes.

“What did you do to my forces?”

“You mean those pieces of trash?”

Duran sneered and gestured with his chin toward the forces the demon had summoned.

There lay corpses melted and crushed by lightning.

“Duran. There are demon attacks in other places too.”

“I know.”

Duran curled up the corner of his mouth.

“So you go deal with the others. This one is my prey.”

“Will you be alright?”

The demon before them was by no means an easy opponent.

“Hah?”

Duran made an incredulous expression.

“Who do you think I am, Leo Flobe.”

Duran curled up the corner of his mouth.

Crackle-!

Lightning aura swirled around Duran’s body.

“I don’t need your concern.”

“Then I’m counting on you.”

At Duran’s words, Leo launched his body forward.

“You!”

The demon urgently tried to chase after Leo.

Crackle!

But a wall of golden lightning blocked his path.

“This isn’t the time to be looking elsewhere, is it?”

Duran spoke in a cold voice.

“I’ll make you regret crawling into Lumern.”

***

Around the 1st Year Dormitory, literal pandemonium unfolded.

Demons suddenly began appearing.

They all summoned countless corpses and targeted the students.

Each time, skilled students quickly responded to the sudden demon attacks as the center.

Those who suffered the greatest damage were naturally the students from the 3rd Class Academy.

Unlike the Lumern students, they couldn’t respond quickly to the sudden situation.

The difference between Hero Candidates and other students was clearly revealed.

‘Are only the places where 1st years are being attacked?’

Leo hardened his face and raised his spiritual power.

Whooom-!

The summoning circle opened and Ati appeared.

[What’s the matter, Master?]

Leo quickly climbed onto Ati’s back and pulled the reins.

“As high as possible!”

Whoosh-!

At those words, Ati soared high into the sky at tremendous speed.

Whoosh-!

Leo’s eyes widened as he reached a position where all of Lumern was visible.

It wasn’t just the 1st year area.

All of Lumern was under attack.

‘What? Why are they attacking so recklessly?’

Leo carefully assessed the situation.

Lumern had certainly fallen into chaos from the sudden attack.

But that was only due to the surprise assault.

If they regained their composure and counterattacked, all of these attackers would surely be wiped out in an instant.

This place was the stronghold of Hero Candidates.

There were even those with skills comparable to Heroes here.

‘Attacking Lumern won’t cause much damage and will only waste their forces. Why?’

No matter how brutish Silatuna was, they wouldn’t make such a reckless attack.

‘If they were this reckless, we could have eliminated them long ago.’

Something flashed through Leo’s mind as he hardened his expression.

‘Hall of Heroes.’

Leo pulled the reins.

‘I don’t know what their scheme is, but they’re planning to do something at the Hall of Heroes.’

Whoosh-!

Leo flew quickly toward the Great Library of Lumern.

***

Top floor of the Tower of Heroes.

Kalian and Riben in the Headmaster’s Office noticed the academy’s crisis faster than anyone.

Kalian, who had been sitting in his office chair, stood up.

Just as Riben was about to quickly launch himself toward the office window.

Whooom-!

The eyes of both men stirred as dark magic suddenly enveloped the office.

‘Curse of Severance?’

At the powerful curse that suddenly unfolded, Kalian and Riben simultaneously turned their heads toward the office door.

Creak-!

The door opened and the headmaster’s secretary, Erena, appeared.

“Indeed. You were closer than I thought.”

Riben sighed deeply and Erena smiled brightly.

“How was it? My acting? Wasn’t it perfect?”

“Where is the real Erena?”

“Why, she’s right here.”

She pointed to her stomach with her finger.

“In my belly since long ago.”

Seeing Erena smile as even her tone completely changed, Riben raised his magic power.

Crack-!

In an instant, the demon’s head shot up into the air.

“As expected, lizards have no compassion. Even after being so close, you’re this merciless.”

The demon’s head floating in the air burst into laughter – Cackle-!

Seeing this, Riben showed no change in expression and spread his hand.

Thin, long lines of magic were generated around the demon.

Grip-!

When Riben clenched his fist, the magic threads began to bundle together like yarn.

Crunch-!

Blood and flesh splattered between the magic threads.

Seeing the demon crushed without leaving any form, Riben withdrew his magic power.

Splat-!

The hideous lump of flesh fell to the floor.

Hisssss-!

The office floor melted as powerful poison gas spewed forth.

Writhe-!

But the flesh and blood clumps soon began to gather together and started taking human form again.

Seeing this, Riben furrowed his brow.

‘Incredible recovery speed. With this kind of recovery rate….’

“A Legion Commander?”

At that question, the demon whose lower face had recovered smiled deeply.

“Correct. Kihihik.”

With a spine-chilling laugh, the mass of flesh began taking shape.

Squirm- Squirm- Crack-!

“Shall I introduce myself? Kikik-“

The woman whose face had formed showed an expression filled with madness.

“My name is Silatuna.”

At those words, Riben’s face hardened stiffly.

“The being you all fear so much, whom you call the Monster Queen.”

***

Thud- Thud-

The Great Library was as quiet as a tomb.

It had to be.

The sudden invasion of Tartaros.

Never in Lumern’s history had the Academy been attacked by Tartaros.

It was only natural that all attention was focused on eliminating the Tartaros forces that had invaded in this unprecedented event.

‘The most troublesome Sword Saint and Dragon will be blocked by Silatuna.’

Of course, she couldn’t hold out for very long.

The three Legion Commanders currently leading Tartaros.

The Monster Queen, the Overlord King, the Giant King.

Even among Legion Commanders, they were monsters so powerful it was spine-chilling compared to the Legion Commanders born after the Age of Calamity.

But even so, they were merely ‘fragments.’

It would be difficult to block the Sword Saint who had defeated Legion Commanders in the past with just one fragment.

‘Even so, a little time is enough!’

He just needed to infiltrate before anyone discovered that Tartaros was targeting the Hall of Heroes.

‘If I can just get my hands on that hateful sword…! I will again! Again!’

His crimson eyes flashed.

Just as he reached out toward the door of the Hall of Heroes with eyes filled with ecstasy.

Whiiiiik-! Kwack!

“…!”

A sword wrapped in gray aura flew over and pierced through the back of his hand.

“So you were targeting this place after all.”

A cold voice was heard.

“My intuition hasn’t died yet, it seems. Seeing that I can still predict your behavioral patterns.”

When he turned his head, a young boy with white hair curled up the corners of his mouth.

“Or is it that you haven’t evolved at all?”
