"It looks like we've got a little help" Rena muttered.

"If it's like just leave it to me, Instructor Rena," he said confidently.

"Alright, give it your best here, Satella."

Rena also installed some magic protectors around them. This time the two were not alone, there was Erina guarding the right side, while Kyle and Shiren were guarding their left side.

Thanks to the sound of a bang in the sky that almost all of the people who managed to survive the Ghantus attack now spread and made a group to stop the attack from the black creatures.

One of them is the Rena group. Currently Satella is preparing her vocation to create a wide-scale magic. His nickname as Diva is not without reason, because that's his expertise—a very melodious supporting magic.

Their position was on a wide street with buildings facing each other. It looks intact without any damage. In addition they also gained immunity from the previous magic waves that Selina unleashed..

After all was ready, Satella immediately pulled out her unique sword. Plugging it into the ground, then from the end of the hilt appeared a purple crystal with circular relics around it.

"Please give me about three minutes, I'll try to put together the resonance level" Satella said as she gently touched her chest using the fingertips of her right hand.

They nodded after hearing it. Her sweet face combined with her beautiful eyes began to get ready to let out a charm. His pink lips began to take a deep breath.

His right arm began to slowly lift and finally his sweet little lips opened, “this is my first appearance in a place like this, please help me.

“Good!”

After that a sweet sound came out clearly. It flowed quietly among the miasmas around them and emitted a soft pink wave in the sky.

Like a calm, flowing, expanding river. Towards a distant place, reaching everything from the smallest sidelines to places that have never been pluralized.

That beautiful, melodious sound wave had enveloped the entire Astarte Kingdom in a fast time.

Kyle was only pensive to hear it, while Erina laughed watching one of her students. Rena smiled thinly and Shiren closed his eyes while living the touch of the song performed by Satella.

Suddenly, a bunch of hounds appeared. With a burning body, a muzzle full of blood, and his eyes that had that dark light began to howl.

They also ran while shooting greenish fireballs that continued to hit Rena's magic shield. And on and on until finally the shield began to crack little by little.

"Calm down, it's commonplace" Erina said suddenly casually. “That's the nature that creatures like them carry.”

"It is only fitting that my magic shield can be cracked like that" said Rena.

Then the outermost shield shattered into pieces. The Hounds were barking like they had gained victory and also their new food.

Although their numbers were not too many, the first-time Kyle saw him showing a determined look while hardening his grip on the blade.

"Just calm down, let me take care of it" Erina said lightly.

"Then I will help you, Instructor Erina," said Shiren, he immediately extended his hands towards Erina.

In opening both of his palms then read some short and deep runes. Then a blob of balls appeared in front of his two palms—in white and yellow.

At first Erina hesitated about Shiren's help, whether he helped her to exterminate those hundreds of Hounds. He did not want the students from the other academies to be injured or killed in the deadly battle this time.

But when seeing Shiren cast supporting magic, Erina gave a small smile. It seemed that this magic would help him without inflicting any harm on himself.

That wisp of light ball then entered into Erina's sword. Laying and giving effect to the power of his sword.

"Hmm. it seems that this will be even more interesting," Erina murmured.

"Not so fast, Shiren," Kyle said as he prepared his magic as well.

At the same time, Satella was done with her magic.

A magic circle appeared above Erina's body. The magic circle was red-black, then it slowly descended until it disappeared upon touching the ground. Erina could feel the power flowing from the magic that Kyle had unleashed.

Rena smiled when she saw her students become useful magicians.

"Come to me, sweet dog."

Erina also pulled out a sword from behind her back that was covered by a white bandage. After that, put it on the ground. However, the Hounds did not stay still, they immediately jumped towards Erina while exposing the jaws full of blood.

"Not so fast... Ground Blaise!!"

The ground began to tremble revealing a thin speck of fire. Then the soil began to crumble into sharp fragments that made the Hounds in pain. Not long after that a magma rampage raised itself from the

the ground that was destroyed.

The magma formed a terrible burst. It exploded and melted hundreds of those Honds in an instant. Crushing their rotten bodies into sour melts dissolved in a still-volatile magma blob.

The hundreds of Hounds had now been wiped out and disappeared from their surroundings. Kyle and Shiren had not expected their supporting magic to be so powerful that it was so easy to annihilate them in the blink of an eye.

While Rena does not believe in just what she saw herself. However, after that he smiled widely, apparently his students had already grown into someone extraordinary.

"Hmmm ... My attack magic seems to be even more ferocious and deadly thanks to the two of you, I thank you for the help," Erina softly said with a small smile.

Kyle only smiled in satisfaction while Shiren instantly blushed. Not long after that the magic device was destroyed and all the magma flooding the streets started to freeze.

The road around them was now flattened by flying dust, while all the buildings around them had run aground. No more even they had all been forgotten by Rena and the others.

"Is what I see real?"

Rena looked tense looking at her extremely frightening figure. A top-level demon, with four wings that stretch wide. The black feathers fell but grew back at the same time.

His figure actually made the five people enter into serious mode. Really serious, because the figure is quite large. His black body was filled with a dense aura all over his body.

His two eyes that had been closed were now open and revealed a very oppressive red look. Blood flowed from those eyes, his face was not so clear because he was wearing a mask made of animal skin.

It has two horns with fire burning in the middle. Both of his hands he stretched this time, from within his hands came sharp claws that instantly leveled the ground around him.

It was dark black in color, its large legs as if it were like a steel weighing over two tons. As he stepped, the ground trembled and the sounds seemed heavier, leaving even large footprints.

At first they hesitate to attack him, but after remembering the supporting magic belonging to Satella and the previous one. Their confidence is improving again.

Then the high-level demon came, it ran and the tremors were so shaking. Kyle immediately ran towards him while unsheathing his sword.

Together with his slash he was sure he could injure the high-level creature, but unfortunately the creature managed to avoid it. Seeing Kyle's startled reaction, the creature took advantage of the momentum and directly hit the Legion's Knight's stomach very strongly, but his attack could also be held back until at some point he could not hold it in anymore, either, and finally bounced away.

At that time Erina and Shiren launched a long-range magic in the form of a hot fire wave and also a sharp water wave.

While Satella is worried about Kyle's condition and immediately gives healing magic to him. Rena rushed towards the direction the demon was in.

Two waves of magic managed to hit the chest of the devil to make him pushed back. Then came Rena with a very strong side kick. Striking the edge of his body, followed by seven slashes from his slender sword super fast.

Seven spots were hit by a landslide and bleed black bruises. The demon seemed to feel no pain, but just smirked. Rena who felt her powerful aura instantly retreated after finishing her attack.

But he was late because the demon managed to hit Rena's chest until it bounced towards Erina. Blood came out of his mouth, but fortunately he was managed to be held by and caught by Erina.

Shiren was surprised by the state of his teacher, he immediately approached him. "Are you still able to survive, Instructor Rena?"

"Ughkss—just relax, this is nothing... Shiren."

His breathing was heavy and because his left arm was broken he only used his right arm which was still intact.

Erina was upset with the situation of her friend, she also left Rena who is now in her care to Shiren. Rena didn't mind that, but she was worried about what Erina would do.

Erina who tends to be drunk usually has a very brutal strength compared to other instructors. A bunch of red light shot out from within the ground and was now docked towards him.

Within a few seconds the cluster of light turned into small sparks but, the Devil was regenerating his own body, the wounds from the previous magic attack seemed futile.

Erina clucked in annoyance, in a matter of one second as she flicked her finger. Those little sparks turned into giant fireballs due to the help magic.

"Come away in this raging fire... The Wave of Blaze!!"

When he drew out his sword sideways. The cluster of fireballs exploded and became hundreds of sharp waves with an extremely ferocious fire element that shot rapidly towards the demon.

It was so brutal that it hit every inch of the body and every time it clashed with each other, the sharp fire waves exploded like fireworks. It exploded and exploded, releasing a bunch of unforgiving flames.

Now the flames enveloped the demon's body violently. And ended by the explosion of a very powerful fireball, like a nuclear that suddenly exploded with the addition of a lot of gunpowder.

THE BHAMSSSS!!!!!

The surrounding land was instantly scorched, leaving behind a vast and also indelible ash block. Erina was delighted that the attack she just launched was a very heavy magic to use.

Even with the help of supporting magic, he still bowed tiredly because the amount of Mana he used was very much. In her heart Erina cried out loudly once for successfully using such brutal magic.

But who would have thought that the ground shook ...

"D-damn it. Who would suspect it...."

Now Erina's face shrieked, is that possible? Is something like this real. A shadowy figure emerged from the blaze that had not been extinguished, a single footstep emerged from it. Then stomped on the ground outside the blaze.

Shiren, Rena, and Satella did not expect that such a devastating attack would not work at all.

In the blaze was seen a wide grin filled with the aura of hatred. The grin succeeded in making Erina's hair goosebumps, but she ignored it and returned to attack assuming that the devil was unable to resist magic.

But the attack can be resisted with just one touch of her little finger. The demon smiled again, Erina started to get upset and then without thinking about it again she again made an attack.

His left leg moved quickly, a powerful straight kick. But the kick was successfully held, now his right leg is lifted. Erina's body position was reversed, their faces facing each other.

And his stomach was now feeling a tremendous pain from one heavy blow. Even a broken voice rang out and Erina spewed blood from her mouth.

“Bhuagksss!!—“

He screamed in pain, after which he was thrown far away to hit Kyle who was being healed by Satella. Satella was shocked when Kyle whom she wanted to heal was hit by Erina's body.

The wound was very severe, but at least the ribs were not broken. The demon walked back and approached Shiren and Rena. Let it sound loud again.

Now the demon was right in front of Rena who was still injured and Shiren who seemed to be frightened. His face paled as a result of dealing with this dangerous figure, but Rena calmed him down

The devil is now again showing his cruelest grin along with the blood dripping from his teeth and jaw.

“My feeling is not tenak,” said I then approached Regin.

"Does Brother really want to do it? Even if our Mana has been doubled, it will still drain at least half of it even in rare cases it will run out. Want to keep doing it?" tanyanya.

It seems that he is worried about me, but it is not necessary to remember that the current condition is very critical. I nodded slowly too.

"As expected of my former student, then we start this forbidden magic ...."

Regin only looked at me with a doubtful look, but not until he took out his magic sword book.

“Alright then...we start the preparation,” say light.
