174. Dying Teacher

I called out while closing the distance with the Cardinal.

「Tina!」

「I got it!」

Tina pierced the Cardinal’s leg with Soil Lance to stop his movement, and at the same time struck down a thunderbolt. A loud deafening sound of thunder reverberated through the surroundings.

At the same time, Rubeum shot Hellfire Tornado magic.

Hellfire Tornade is originally a great magic used to burn over a wide area.

However, Rubeum condensed its range of effect and burned only the Cardinal.

Rubeum had been protecting the students, who were still on the verge of death, from the tails of Tenebris.

However, since the two tails of Tenebris were dead, he had the opportunity to attack the Cardinal.

「Ugaaaa!」

The Cardinal’s entire body became rigid after being struck by Tina’s lightning strike, and the body surface was scorched.

Immediately after, Rubeum’s Hellfire tornado burned the Cardinal’s body into charcoal.

While Tina and Rubeum’s magic was burning the Cardinal, I jumped into the fight.

Originally, he was fighting evenly with Jema and Arti.

When Tina and Rubeum joined in, the equilibrium of the battle was completely tilted to our side.

Therefore, I was able to easily decapitate the Cardinal with my dagger.

At the same time, Jema’s sword pierced the Cardinal’s heart, and Arti slashed his torso.

The injury received by the Cardinal was clearly a fatal injury.

「Damn… Will Wolms… As I thought, you are…」

While glaring at me, the Cardinal turned into ashes.

「Even though other people played a more active part when it comes to your subjugation…」

Perhaps he evaluates me highly because I’m still a child.

When the Cardinal died, the barrier surrounding us disappeared.

「Ah! Will, someone is there! Kyuru.」

「I noticed too.」

I noticed the existence of some unknown figure hidden by the barrier.

It was far away and the reaction itself was extremely weak.

So faint a reaction that I couldn’t even tell the race.

「I don’t notice anything.」Tina replied.

「Neither do I.」Rosetta said.

「Because it’s a faint reaction. Tina, please heal everyone.」

「Understood!」

「Especially Jema-sensei.」I said.

「I am fine. Tend to the students firs–」

Before Jema could finish her sentence, she fell backwards.

Arti immediately caught her from falling.

「Sensei, are you okay?」Arti asked.

「I-I’m fine. I just staggered a little.」

「Jema-sensei, you are not clearly not okay. You are on the verge of death. Please receive the treatment. Arti, take care of her.」I said.

「Okay.」Arti replied.

And I also called out to Fluffy.

「Fluffy, please assist Tina.」

「Pii!」

When I was giving out instructions,

「Will, hurry up! We don’t have time. Kyuru!」

Rubeum rushed me.

Rubeum has better detection ability than me.

If he says we have to hurry, then it’s most likely an emergency.

「Okay. I’m going over with Rubeum to the place where we sensed the unknown figure.」

I told everyone and started running.

Rubeum flew over the trees and led the way.

I followed Rubeum with Shiro.

After running for a while, the reaction I sensed gradually became clearer as I approached closer.

「Oh, this is dangerous if we don’t hurry.」

「Yeah. They’re about to die. Kyuru.」

Humans, on the verge of death, were laying sprawled in the rain.

I didn’t know if they were enemies or allies. They might be assassins of the Cult.

「No, I guess that doesn’t make sense.」

There might be a reason to hide a non-dying assassin, but there is no reason for the Cardinal to hide dying assassins.

After running a little further, we arrived at their location.

Three people were lying in the rain.

「…Are you okay?」I called out.

「…………」

The humans were not conscious.

They were seriously injured all over, but their bleeding was stopped.

Even so, their complexion was deathly pale.

I hurriedly started healing them.

「Do you know them? Kyuru.」

Rubeum unfolded his wings to use as a makeshift umbrella to shield us from the rain.

Shiro also grew into a size of about 3 meters, and snuggled up to the dying people.

He was warming them up with his body temperature.

「I have an idea of who they might be.」

The owners of the heads the Cardinal threw at me.

「They’re probably the assistants.」

I met three teachers including Jema on the morning of the training camp.

However, I was not acquainted with any of the assistants.

「So they weren’t dead?」Rubeum asked.

「Those heads were probably a delicately created fakes using magic.」

Moreover, it was so sophisticated that it could not be noticed with a simple examination.

I, Rubeum, Tina, and even their superior, Jema, didn’t notice.

「For what? Kyuru?」

「I don’t know, but their bleeding was stopped. So I think the enemy was going to use them alive for something.」

Make us think that they are dead and then use them alive for something.

Perhaps the Cult has a special magic that can forcibly extract information.

Or maybe the enemy planned to manipulate them with special magic to make them into spies.

But if that were the case, there is no point in making us think they were dead.
