Illya stared with stunned eyes at Axion who suddenly appeared in front of her.
'Why him in particular?
What does he want from me?'
Just as she was trying to understand what he meant by this unexpected action, Axion, who had annihilated the monsters around him, turned and looked at her.
There were no expressions on his handsome face.
Then Axion said in a cold voice:
“Wait and see.
I will prevail in this training.”
Only then did Elijah realize what he meant by his action.
'He didn't come to save me, then.'
The corpses of monsters were piled up in the place where he had been just before.
He had already eliminated all the monsters he could handle from his position.
Axion has come here to eliminate more monsters.
Although his face was expressionless, his blue eyes staring at her were burning with competitive spirit.
“Then Erhan, you too participate seriously.
Don’t idle around and avoid work lazily.”
Elijah's brows furrowed at those words.
Does this bastard see that I'm slacking off or slacking off?
"What do you care what I do?
Don't interfere."
Illya looked at him and let out her words harshly.
In a situation like this where she might lose her limbs if monsters attacked her, she didn't want to pay attention to the competitive game he was playing, about who would win and who would lose.
Axion's face stiffened.
While he was seriously competing, the other party didn't even consider him a competitor.
His pride was hurt more than when I passed him in yesterday's race.
He grabbed her collar tightly and whispered in a threatening tone:
“Don't be arrogant.”
No matter what happens, this person will be defeated.
He will become the best soldier in the empire.
Before Elijah could object, he approached her, still holding her collar, and led her towards the place where the monsters were gathered in abundance.
“Leave me!”
When Elijah struggled hard, he finally released the collar he was holding, pushing her to the ground.
Elia coughed and gasped, looking around.
She saw the monsters staring at her and drooled.
“Are you now...”
“Are you now determined to participate seriously in training?”
Axion disappeared after he finished speaking.
The monsters rushed towards her at once.
There was no way she could avoid it.
Boom!
Boom!
“Kiiiiii!”
A huge explosion sounded, and the ground split deeply.
The monsters rushing towards her retreated.
When she turned around, she found Yusar had already arrived at her side.
“Thank you, Yusar.”
When Elijah said hello, he extended his hand and helped her up.
“Excuse me.
Helping you is my duty.”
Yousar smiled lightly and continued speaking:
“I was watching him a little while ago, and this Axion seems quite angry.
He must be very upset about losing to you yesterday.”
Yusar continued speaking with a voice of resignation as he looked at Axion who was relentlessly cutting down monsters in the distance.
“By the way, is this training a foregone conclusion for Axion?
Honestly, how can anyone defeat that monster?”
Illya stared at Axion angrily.
If she could, she would want to crush his ego.
But how?
'Just a moment...
What if I take advantage of this?'
Elijah's eyes sparkled.
“Damn, they're streaming like crazy.
I only have one bomb left.”
She shouted at Yusar in an urgent tone, as he was about to throw the last bomb on the monsters:
“Yousar, wait!
Don’t throw that, follow me!”
I grabbed Yusar's hand and ran towards the trap where Lennox was.
As soon as they entered the safe place of the trap, the monsters immediately pounced on them.
“Ahh!”
Lennox let out a loud scream and closed his eyes tightly when he saw the monsters.
KUAGEEZZIK-!!!!
With a sharp tearing sound, the monsters' bodies hung limply.
They were shocked by the powerful electric current of the magic trap.
Lennox and Yusar stared at the fallen monsters with stunned faces.
“...What the hell?”
“It's a magic trap.
This place is safe.”
Elia answered, and Lennox shouted:
"This is really cool!
As expected of you, Elle!"
Yusar's violet eyes sparkled.
Magic trap?
How did you know something like this?
Perhaps this is also part of the abilities that you possess.
"It will be safe to stay here until the end of training!
Elle, you will do that, right?"
She shook her head, looking at Lennox, who asked her with a satisfied face.
At first, that was certainly her intention.
But now, the plan has changed.
“No, we will eliminate the monsters.”
“El, what do you mean by...”
Ilya looked at Yusar and asked him:
“Yusar, can you give me a bomb please?”
Instead of answering, Yusar stared at her silently and asked:
“Are you now thinking of breaking this trap?”
"Yes."
When he asked, she nodded.
All they had to do was extract the magic trap core, carry it, and wander around looking for monsters.
They become a magical moving trap that catches monsters.
But the core of the trap was buried very deep, and they had to dig for a long time to find it.
But it would be different if they blew up the Earth.
The corner of Yusar's mouth rose.
“What a genius method.
This way we can defeat that arrogant bastard Axion.
Here it is.”
She threw the bomb Yusar had given her to the ground.
Boom!
With the sound of the explosion, the ground split open.
Faint light streamed from the splitting gap.
"This is it!"
They dug the ground in a hurry.
Soon, the core of the magic trap appeared, a ball the size of a fist.
Ilya held the core tightly in her hand, then ordered Yusar and Lennox.
“No one leaves my side.”
"Good."
"Okay…!"
They went to where the monsters gathered.
KUAGIGZZIK!
“Kiiiiii!”
As soon as they got close, the magic trap activated and the monsters fell.
All they had to do was go to the places where the monsters were.
“This is easier than drinking cold water.”
Yusar murmured admiringly.
•
Meanwhile, Axion was cutting down the monsters, panting heavily.
He was cutting and cutting endlessly.
He felt that his strength was beginning to fail little by little.
However, there was little left until the end of the training.
In the distance, the red-haired Erhan appeared.
Axion involuntarily began to watch in that direction.
As soon as the monsters that were rushing towards Erhan approached his surroundings, they immediately fell.
He approached another place where monsters gathered, and the monsters fell again.
Mountains of monster corpses quickly formed, and Axion's eyes hardened.
All the monsters he had taken down in several hours were being taken down in less than an hour.
Even without panting, he looks completely normal.
What the hell is this monster?
How could that be possible?
He gritted his teeth.
I can't lose here.
In today's training, I will defeat this bastard at any cost.
How can I be the best soldier in the Empire when I can't even be the best in this unit?
This way, I won't be able to keep my promise to 'that girl'.
At that moment, a monster rushed towards him, and Axion hurriedly waved a tree branch.
Quagge!
The monsters crushed the tree branch he swung at with their fangs, smashing it into pieces.
The moment he stepped back in search of a new tree branch to use as a weapon, the monsters quickly pounced on him.
Under normal circumstances, he would have easily dodged it, but he couldn't because his energy was drained after facing monsters for hours.
The monsters bit his arm hard.
A stinging pain penetrated.
KUAGIGZZIK!
At that moment, a violent tearing sound was heard, and the surrounding monsters fell.
When he turned around, he found Erhan standing.
“You the hell...”
When Axion looked at her with trembling eyes, she answered.
“Didn’t you say that I should engage in training seriously?
What do you think, is this much to your satisfaction?”
•
“You mean you opened a portal connected to the Kenya Mountain Range?”
"Yes."
When Keisha nodded indifferently as he sat on a chair in the medical clinic, Theo shook his head in amazement.
Although it is home to low-level monsters, the Kine Mountain Range is a border region in itself.
How could he open a portal on the second day of training and have them fight frontline monsters with their bare hands?
And even put up a barrier to prevent them from escaping.
“I only opened them for a short time.
Additionally, I placed a suggestive charm on them to attack monsters while avoiding weak points.”
Keisha replied in a tone as if he had given instructions for light training with the wooden sword.
“No matter what, if you open the gate, monsters will flow endlessly.
The low-level monsters living in that area are estimated to be at least 700 monsters.”
Theo continued with a soft sigh.
“No matter how skilled a person is, he cannot withstand 700 monsters with his bare hands in half a day.”
“However, who knows?”
He too agreed with Theo's words.
But a strange feeling of anticipation took hold of his heart.
“Colonel, this is impossible.”
But, if it was that boy's bet, maybe...
Damn, what am I thinking?
Even though he knew this was a ridiculous thought, Keisha continued speaking with a strange feeling of anticipation.
“…If there is someone who sticks out, I will highly recommend him to the Grand Duke as a future son-in-law.”
