I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 173 Chapter 40: The 7th Main Tower (4)

Having read the original romance fantasy three times, Flame remembered the major incidents happening in Aether World quite well.

She knew what was occurring in the Seventh Main Tower but couldn't prepare a detailed strategy for an attack.

Since the genre was romance fantasy, most battle scenes were either skipped or simplified, and scenes were often filled with character psychology descriptions, so there was nothing she could do.

If Baek Yuseol had been there, he would have presented a more effective strategy, but since he was absent, Flame prepared as best as she could based on her memory and knowledge.

"The strange monsters appearing in the Seventh Main Tower were mostly of the dark attribute."

Flame's light attribute magic would be very effective, but it was fundamentally different from the holy attribute used by real angels or the priests of the Holy Church.

Since she had not yet reached the level of realizing holy magic, bringing 'Sacred Symbols' and holy water as a countermeasure was a commendable judgment.

-Creeeeek!

-Keeeeee!

With eerie noises, ghosts floated in the air, and shadows seeped in from all directions.

Flame and her party ran through the corridor at full speed, forgetting even that Jeremy was following them, to avoid those things.

"Bringing the symbols was definitely the right choice."

The Sacred Symbol could be compared to a crucifix necklace for a church or a rosary for Buddhism.

But unlike reality, it actually possessed divine power.

Though not properly mentioned in the original romance fantasy, it was very effective in stopping the ghosts of the Seventh Main Tower.

Flash!

When the circle-shaped symbol flashed, the approaching shadows and ghosts hesitated and retreated.

But since it wasn't a very expensive symbol, its usage was limited.

"If I keep using them like this, they'll run out soon..."

Though she had brought as many symbols and holy water as she could with her own money, it wasn't enough.

"Ugh!"

When Anella stumbled and fell while casting a spell, Flame quickly threw a symbol at her.

Zzzap!

White sparks flew, and the ghosts approaching her retreated.

"Get a grip! What are you doing!"

"I'm, I'm sorry..."

Anella, with a pale face, bit her lip. Though delving into someone's trauma and enchanting them was her specialty, she had almost no experience with direct combat, making her mind go blank.

"Still, I'm over 40 years old..."

Though she lacked combat experience, it was humiliating to be a burden to children barely seventeen years old.

Overwhelmed by a sense of despair, she didn't have time to indulge in it.

"There's a lab nearby! Let's take refuge there!"

"Anella! Hurry up!"

"Yeah... Ah!"

Flame practically dragged Anella into the lab and thrust a symbol at her chest.
