786.

The light magic deployed from Iliana’s fingertips swept away the Death Knights.

“Wow, your magic power has gotten even stronger, hasn’t it?”

Cal exclaimed in admiration as he pulled out a potion bottle from his chest.

And he threw it straight toward the undead army.

Just before the potion bottle fell into the middle of the undead army.

Cal pulled out a small hand crossbow and aimed at the potion bottle, hitting it.

Bang! Swoooooosh—!

The potion bottle exploded and burst, and the compressed contents poured down like rain.

Gwaaaaaaah!

Screams burst from the mouths of the ghouls, lower-class undead.

“Is that a purification potion?”

“It’s a new creation I made recently, and the performance is pretty good!”

Cal grinned as he loaded his crossbow.

And he pulled out another potion bottle, gripped it, and shouted boldly.

“Come as many as you want! I’ll sweep you all away!”

Gwaaaaaaah!

At the same time as Cal’s shout, an enormous number of undead armies began swarming from far away.

Seeing this, Cal said to Iliana.

“A tactical retreat would be good, right?”

“Yeah.”

The two who nodded immediately began to flee.

“First priority is meeting up with Chelsea and Leo!”

“They must have seen my magic, so they’ll come soon!”

As soon as Iliana finished speaking, wind whirled in front of the two.

Chelsea appeared with the strong wind and aimed her staff toward the undead army.

Seeing this, Cal and Iliana hurriedly split left and right to make way for the magic to fly.

“Wind Storm.”

With Chelsea’s specialty of high-speed incantation, powerful magic was quickly completed.

The sweeping whirlwind engulfed the undead army.

It was when Chelsea was making a meaningful expression after seeing this.

“Ahh~ My cute corpses have become a mess.”

With a sorrowful voice, a hooded woman revealed herself from among the undead.

The woman was holding a large human head in her arms.

It was a hideous corpse with missing eyeballs and rotting, mushy flesh.

But the woman rubbed her cheek against the corpse’s head as if it were lovely.

At that sight, Chelsea made a disgusted expression.

Step—

Iliana stood in front of Chelsea and pointed her sword at the woman.

“Are you a demon?”

“Nice to meet you, youngsters. I’m Eran. A necromancer serving the great Overlord King.”

Iliana’s eyes twitched.

“If you’re Eran…”

“The Flesh Devourer?”

The group made stiff expressions at the appearance of the notoriously high-ranking demon.

Eran smiled broadly and bit into the corpse she was holding.

The three people who saw this felt instinctive revulsion.

“This corpse doesn’t taste very good.”

Eran spat out the flesh she had in her mouth with a “ptui!” and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief while looking at the three people.

Soon, Eran’s gaze turned to Cal.

“Orange-haired friend? You look like my type?”

“How nice for you, Cal. You never heard words like that when you were at school.”

“Are you making jokes in this situation?”

Cal clicked his tongue and pulled out a potion bottle from his extradimensional space.

Chelsea re-gripped her staff and Iliana raised her sword.

It was true that their opponent was a high-ranking demon.

But they had no intention of backing down.

“Where’s Leo?”

“I came urgently first. He’ll join us soon. Even if he’s skilled, I don’t know how much help that civilian will be.”

At Chelsea’s words, Iliana said firmly.

“It’s okay. We can defeat her on our own.”

At those words, Chelsea nodded.

“Cal. Please support us.”

“Leave it to me.”

Cal made a tense expression and took a deep breath.

Chelsea and Iliana’s skills had grown incomparably from their first-year level that Cal knew.

‘I’ve made efforts in my own way too, but… I hope I at least don’t hold them back.’

Cal chuckled and looked at Eran.

‘But what business does a high-ranking demon like that have coming all the way here?’

High-ranking demons with notorious reputations like Eran rarely showed themselves due to bounties placed by various countries.

High-ranking demons that you wouldn’t encounter unless in the deepest parts of Death Land.

‘Moreover, this isn’t even Death Land.’

The place where the group was currently located was not far from Death Land.

While undead occasionally appeared, it strictly wasn’t Death Land.

‘It’s definitely something unusual.’

Cal quickly organized his thoughts and looked toward the campsite.

‘That guy Leo. He should be safe.’

***

Lumern’s Warp Gate.

Despite it being late at night, students were busily coming and going in front of the Warp Gate.

Meanwhile, Elena, the vice student council president, was lying on a nearby bench trying to sleep.

“Elena senior! Wake up! What kind of homeless person are you?!”

Selia woke up Elena as if scolding her.

Elena turned her body as if annoyed and tried to sleep.

But Selia forcibly made Elena get up.

“I was dragged out while sleeping.”

When Elena whined, Selia got angry.

“We were all dragged out while sleeping, you know?”

“The Headmaster can handle the guest reception~”

“This is a student event!”

“Why are they coming in the middle of the night making a fuss? Tell them to come again tomorrow.”

“When have you ever seen them move while considering our circumstances? They’re selfish elves!”

“Just like Elena senior in the old days.”

Lil supported the staggering Elena.

Elena firmly stepped on Lil’s foot.

“Haaaawn!”

Elena yawned lazily and rubbed her eyes.

“Elena senior! Button up your top! Your underwear will show.”

“I didn’t wear any because I came out in a hurry.”

“Ah! Really!”

Selia fastened Elena’s shirt buttons with an exasperated expression.

Then she even tied her necktie, neatly arranging her appearance.

“Selia. Will you marry this unnie after graduation?”

“You’re trying to use me like a maid, aren’t you?”

“Yep.”

Elena, now looking neat and tidy, laughed cheerfully.

Selia let out a deep sigh at her innocent, princess-like appearance.

Chloe, who had been watching this scene, asked Lil.

“Is it really true that Elena-senpai was called the Queen of Lumern?”

“That’s right. Elena-senpai was charisma itself until you all enrolled! She was a tyrant through and through!”

Lil clenched her fists tightly, her eyes sparkling.

‘…Is she praising her? Or insulting her?’

Chloe let out a hollow laugh while watching Elena being pushed toward the Warp Gate by Selia with curious eyes.

Now she seemed like a princess who loved acting spoiled, so it was hard to imagine what she was like during her queen days.

Once Elena was ready, Chen Xia spoke up.

“I guess we’re pretty much ready now?”

“Yeah.”

“I wonder why they suddenly said they were coming?”

Chen Xia made a puzzled expression.

Currently at the Warp Gate were the 3rd, 4th, and 5th year Party 1 members.

The reason they came to the Warp Gate at this late hour in perfect condition was none other than to greet Seirun’s student council president.

Though they didn’t know the reason for the sudden visit to Lumern, as Lumern students, they didn’t want to show even the slightest flaw to Roon, Seirun’s student council president.

No, rather they wanted to show a perfect appearance.

Lumern students are superior to Seirun.

As rival schools, they had to prove that fact, but more than that, it was because of Roon’s attitude toward Lumern students.

Roon acted as if Lumern students didn’t even exist in his sight.

To the extent that he showed a clear difference from how he treated Ajonia or Demian students.

His dry, indifferent gaze was like an adult looking at dolls displayed in a toy store.

That attitude of showing not even a hint of interest somehow made the Lumern students feel bad.

‘Why does he act like that?’

As Chen Xia wondered to herself.

The Warp Gate glowed and elves appeared.

At their head was none other than Seirun’s student council president, Roon.

A beauty that made viewers momentarily lose their minds.

Roon, who emerged from the Warp Gate with an expressionless face, surveyed the Lumern students who had come to greet him with a solemn atmosphere.

“Thank you for the grand welcome. I apologize for the late night intrusion.”

“We welcome your visit. Student council president of Seirun.”

Roon and Elena exchanged formal greetings with slight smiles.

Shortly after, the Seirun students were guided to their assigned dormitory.

“Roon-senpai.”

“Why are you calling me, Runia?”

“Do you dislike the Lumern students, Roon-senpai?”

Roon chuckled at Runia’s cautious question.

“Rather than disliking them, I’m just not very interested.”

“Why?”

“Those guys have no individuality.”

“Huh?”

“They’re works created by Rea. Imitations made by projecting someone else’s image, at that.”

Runia and Eiran made expressions of incomprehension as they watched Roon speak incomprehensibly.

***

Leo, sitting on a tree not far from where Chelsea’s group was fighting, narrowed his eyes as he watched the three people’s battle.

‘Cal is… exactly the same.’

He reads the flow of battle and displays brilliant wit.

While doing so, he’s providing appropriate support to Chelsea and Iliana.

Exactly the same as Cal from Leo’s world.

But Chelsea and Iliana were different.

He could see someone’s image in their movements.

And Leo could easily tell whose movements theirs resembled.

‘Me.’

Chelsea and Iliana had no unique movements of their own.

The way they fought enemies.

The timing of attacks and defense.

Their movement tempo.

The way they led battles.

Everything was too similar to the Hero of the Beginning, Kail.

It felt as if they had been intentionally taught Kail’s movements.

‘That Risinass bastard… what the hell is he thinking?’

As Leo frowned.

Chelsea’s group, having successfully defeated Eran, high-fived each other.

‘…If those two are like that, the other guys are probably in a similar situation.’

As Leo let out a deep sigh.

Rumble—!

The sound of lightning striking came from the sky.

Leo looked up at the sky.

Along with that, dark red lightning struck down toward where the three people were.

The faces of the three people hardened upon seeing the Overlord King who had suddenly appeared.

“Are you dolls created by Lumern’s student council president?”

The Overlord King spoke in a mocking voice.

Swirling dark magic.

Overwhelming presence.

Exactly as described in the literature.

The three could easily tell that the being before them was Tartaros’s supreme commander.

“Su, suddenly… why…”

Cal let out a groan.

Could they survive?

As that thought dominated their minds.

Step- Step-

Footstep sounds were heard.

When the three turned their heads in surprise, they saw a white-haired boy walking toward them.

“Le, Leo…”

Cal opened his mouth with difficulty.

While they couldn’t move due to the Overlord King’s overwhelming presence stiffening their bodies, Leo was walking calmly.

“Hooo…”

The Overlord King showed interest as he looked at Leo.

‘What’s this? This guy?’

The Overlord King’s eyes narrowed in the darkness beneath his hood.

Leo, who had arrived in front of the Overlord King, raised his head and looked up at him.

“My neck hurts. Could you lower your posture a bit?”

“Quite the nerve. Do you know who I am when you say that?”

“I know very well.”

Crack—!

“…!”

Thud—!

Leo kicked the Overlord King’s shin.

The shinbone shattered completely, and the Overlord King dropped to one knee.

Only then did Leo look at the Overlord King, now at eye level with him, and curled up the corners of his mouth.

“Don’t you know me?”

The Overlord King’s eyes filled with shock.

“You… could it be?”
