The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 151-152: Abyssal Sea Monster (1-2)

"What... is that...?"

One of the destinations of the joint practical evaluation, Eltra Coast

In the middle of the Eltra Sea, beneath the storm clouds and surrounded by gloomy fog. The calm ripples flowing in from the distance suddenly surged into violent waves.

A wicked, dark mana surged to the surface, then ascended to the sky in spirals.

Then, the sea itself lifted upwards in the shape of a mountain.

Salty water spewed down upon the sea like a waterfall.

An unidentified figure slowly rose, revealing its massive silhouette.

Evil mana spread through the air, following the currents of the gusty coastal winds.

The proctor broke into a cold sweat. It didn't take long for them to realize that what they were looking at was a demon.

They hurriedly held up their bracelet to contact the academy, but their bracelet did not activate, perhaps due to the demon's unique power.

The proctor could not use their mana as well. Though they could use mana, it felt unusual at the moment.

It was clear that the demon was disturbing the mana in the area.

"Damn it...!"

They cursed to themselves with fear flooding over them. The terrors of Elt Island and the Floating Island were resurfacing in their minds.

But they remembered their duty.

Soon, the entrances of Octovus Hall, where the joint practical evaluation had been held, would automatically close and be sealed with a strong barrier.

This had been done to send the students who had arrived at the destination back into Octovus Hall in order to protect them in the case of an emergency, such as the appearance of a demon.

At the same time, it would also prevent the students unaware of the situation outside Octovus Hall from leaving the vicinity.

The proctor quickly scanned their surroundings.

Nobody was nearby. Thankfully, there hadn't been any students who arrived yet.

A gathering place was determined in advance. The proctor turned and began running towards the gathering place.

A high tsunami wave approached them. When it came close enough, the countless magic tools positioned on the outer perimeter of the island were triggered simultaneously.

A transparent barrier with deep pink rose petal patterns was activated. It was large enough to surround the entire perimeter of the island. Created from Headmistress Elena Woodline's mana, the barrier would last for 20 minutes.

However, the demon's power, [Mana Drain], caused the rose petal-shaped mana to crack. It would be unable to accomplish its role as a shield.

However, the barrier managed to accomplish its role as a breakwater. The tsunami did not pass over the barrier and sweep the academy.

After the Floating Island incident, Märchen Academy worked tirelessly to make various preparations against the demons. They could not, after all, depend on the Nameless Hero forever.

Pop.

Above the sea. The terrifyingly massive creature's gills were flubbing in and out next to its cheeks and neck.

Its round mouth, which covered half its face, repeatedly opened and closed.

It was a deep blue color, with a slender body that looked similar to a stretched human. The creature brought more terror because it resembled a human figure.
