Invicinble Colorless Butler

Chapter 178 - 23

Ziel looked at the four unconscious people lying on the ground. They are Hikaru, Sintaro, Prince Fritz, and Prince Viron. When Ziel entered the fog, he found Princess Reina, Megumi, Princess Rinne, and Prince Albert. Luckily they were stranded on an inhabited island. The islanders also know Princess Rinne as the Princess of the Cirlus Kingdom. They also took care of Princess Rinne and the others until they woke up from their stupor. So, Ziel decided to leave them to the residents there.

After that, Ziel wandered around in the foggy area again and finally found Prince Fritz and Prince Viron on an island far from where Princess Rinne and the others were stranded. They are in a state of unconsciousness and a fairly severe condition. Ziel healed them to some extent so they wouldn't wake up so quickly.

Ziel continued his search again and managed to find Hikaru and Sintaro not far from the island where Prince Fritz and Prince Viron were stranded. He saw they were fighting with hordes of sea serpents, but Ziel didn't help them. He watched them first before deciding whether to help them or not.

Ziel kept an eye on their movement to the middle of the forest and started their little fight. After they were battered and nearly died from poison crab, Ziel helped them. Ziel could only shake his head after seeing their condition.

Ziel gathered the four people on the island. He put a barrier around them and gave them a marker to easily return to the island. Previously Ziel wanted to teleport them directly to Blue Turtle Island. But he found it a little difficult to find the right coordinates when he was inside that foggy area. He was afraid that if he teleported them by force, they would instead move to another place he didn't know about. That's why Ziel decided to take them back to blue turtle island along with the others he still hadn't found.

"Hmm… I can feel their presence. But from within this misty area, their location was still unclear. It looks like I will have to check the islands in this area one by one." Ziel shook his head and flew away from the island at high speed.

After the academy students returned to their respective rooms, Merlick held a meeting with the other teachers. Currently, he is still waiting for the teachers who still haven't come, including Kalya. Not long after that, all the teachers were present, and Merlick started his meeting.

"I gathered you at this time because I wanted to ask your opinion." Merlick revealed his reasons for holding the meeting to the teachers.

"Are you thinking of helping the Cirlus Kingdom?" Beatrix asked Merlick. She seemed to know what Merlick would talk about at the meeting.

"You are right. I have no intention of sending students to the battlefield. I was hoping you could help the Cirlus Kingdom. If the Cirlus Kingdom cannot withstand the invasion of the magical beast horde, then the people of the academy, including the students, will be forced to fight on the battlefield. I don't want that to happen. Because of that, I wanted to prevent that from happening by sending you to guard the defense together with the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom." Merlcik explains his goal of helping the Cirlus Kingdom.

"But, wouldn't it be better if the students joined the fight on the battlefield? Wouldn't that increase their battle experience? Isn't that also one of the academy's goals for educating them?" Flavio was confused by Merlcik's explanation as it went against the academy's goals. The academy should let students fight to develop their skills and gain real combat experience.

"I understand what you mean. Maybe the other teachers also think the same thing with Flavio. However, this was not the time for them to descend into the battlefield. I feel like the current invasion of magical beasts didn't happen by chance but because someone controlled them. If what I feel is true, then the danger level of this magical beast invasion is much higher. I don't want to take the risk of involving the students into that chaotic battlefield." Merlick rejected Flavio's opinion because his instincts told him that this invasion was even more dangerous for him. He didn't want any of his students to die because he rashly let them join the fight against the monsters.

"I understand. So, what are we going to do next?" Flavio quickly agreed with Merlick's opinion.

"I have discussed this matter with King Raghnall. I intend to send you to the battlefield to help the soldiers fight those monsters. You need to do your best to help the defensive line but don't need to push yourself. If you think the situation is getting too dangerous, I want you to back off immediately. Does anyone object to my decision?" Merlick looked at the teachers in turn. He didn't want to make a wrong decision that would endanger the lives of the teachers at his academy.

The teachers looked at each other and then nodded in agreement with the plan Merlick had explained. At first, they did not have an obligation to help the Cirlus Kingdom. They could leave the Cirlus Kingdom at this point. But that action would tarnish the name of the Piqmentia Grand Academy. they might be called cowards by people from other human kingdoms or even from different races who would also look down on them.

"We agree with your decision. We will do our best to suppress or end the magical beast invasion." Flavio represents the other teachers to answer Merlick.

"Okay. Then you can leave immediately. I believe the battle over there has already begun." Merlick nodded, satisfied with their answer.

"We understand." The teachers answered in unison and started to leave the room. After all the teachers left, only Merlick was left there.

"I hope this invasion is not the beginning of a disaster." Merlick sighed heavily. He stood up from his spot and went out of the room to meet King Raghnall.

Kalya and the other teachers quickly went to the seaside to help the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom fight the magical beast invasion. Once they arrived at the place, they were astonished to see the battle in front of them. Kalya and the other teachers saw a blue-haired girl fighting amid a horde of monsters. In addition, they also saw Sea Serpents King raging and freezing the ocean.

"We will split up and help elsewhere. Miss Kalya will help here!" Flavio explained his plan. Merlick assigned him to be the temporary leader of the teachers in the battle.

Kalya and the other teachers nodded in agreement with his words. They quickly spread to every corner of the battlefield and left Kalya alone in that place. Kalya suddenly frowned when she saw the Sea Serpent King gathering energy in its mouth and was about to attack the soldiers.

"Silphy!"

(I am ready!)

Silphy manifested herself in front of Kalya. Then she merged with Kalya and turned into armor covering Kalya's body. After that, Kalya created a bow from the wind element and fired her strongest attack.

[Thunderstorm Dragon]

Kalya's arrow shot and turned into a small dragon towards the Sea Serpent King. The water laser beam and the little dragon clashed. The little dragon split open the Sea Serpent King's water laser beam and kept shooting forward into its mouth.

The Sea Serpent King panicked after seeing the little dragon split the water laser beam and headed straight for it at high speed. The beast intended to dodge it, but the little dragon hit it first and entered Sea Serpent King's body through its mouth. The little dragon started to crush the Sea Serpent King from within its body from head to tip of its tail. Sea Serpent King was silent, and the battlefield was quiet. Not long after, the Sea Serpent King's body exploded.

Boooooommmmmmm!

The Sea Serpent King's body shattered into pieces. This sight left the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom and the monsters in shock. The hordes of monsters began to panic and ran around aimlessly. They tried to escape from that place because their leader was dead.

"Kill the closest monsters to you, and don't chase those that are far away!" Princess Cordelia used the opportunity to clear the monsters that had managed to get close to the shore. He also felt the same way with the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom. They had a hard time killing the sea Serpent King even with the Five-Element Magic cannon, but the monster died with one hit by an unknown person.

When Princess Cordelia and the soldiers saw the person who fired the attack, they froze and couldn't say anything. The soldiers, especially the men, were fascinated when Kalya came to the battlefield. Kalya is no less beautiful than Princess Cordelia and looks even more transcendent. But the soldiers were quickly awakened by a voice as beautiful as an angel.

[Tornado Blade]

Kalya creates a huge tornado around the battlefield. The huge tornado swallowed and tore apart the monsters surrounding Princess Cordelia. After the monsters around Princess Cordelia disappeared, Kalya slowly walked towards her.

"I am the teacher of the academy. We got the task of fighting the monsters that invaded the Cirlus Kingdom. Let me help you here." Kalya looked at Princess Cordelia and smiled sweetly. Princess Cordelia was taken aback when she saw Kalya's appearance, but she quickly returned to her senses and answered.

"Of course! I gladly accept it." Princess Cordelia quickly agreed and smiled back at Kalya. The soldiers were mesmerized to see Kalya and Princess Cordelia standing side by side on the battlefield. They both looked like a goddess of victory and a goddess of war to them.

"Ooohhhhh!"

"Kill those monsters!"

The fighting spirit of the soldiers was pumped to the maximum. They charged forward without hesitation towards the monsters scattered on the battlefield.

Elsewhere, Princess Irene and Kyouka finally managed to escape from the pursuit of the Blood Scaly Alligator. They were resting to relieve their tiredness and treat Kyouka's wound, which was worsening.

"Hopefully, this will stop the bleeding." Princess Irene just finished wrapping Kyouka with bandages. Luckily, Kyouka brought it inside her space storage.

"Thank you, Irene." Kyouka answered in a weak voice. Her face was pale from forcing herself to walk, and she kept losing a lot of blood on the way.

"You don't have to think about that. The more important thing is that we have to leave this place immediately. We have to find Hikaru and the others." Princess Irene smiled in response. She looked really worried about Kyouka's current state.

"You are right. But, we can not carelessly walk in this place. This fog blurs my senses. I'm afraid we'll run into that monster on the way." Even though Kyouka had managed to escape from the blood scaly alligator, she still couldn't feel at ease in such a state.

"I understand. We'd better...eh?" Princess Irene was surprised to see a pair of eyes that suddenly appeared behind the fog.

"Watch out, Kyouka!" Princess Irene quickly pushed Kyouka away. The rock they were sitting on earlier melted from being hit by the red liquid shot from within the mist.

Not long after that, the figure that attacked Kyouka and Princess Irene was seen. The blood scaly alligator has finally found its prey that has escaped.

Rooaaarrrrrrrrr!

Princess Irene and Kyouka trembled from being stared at by the blood scaly alligator from such a close distance. The beast suddenly swung its claws at them.

[Ten Layers of Barriers]

Clank!

The alligator's claws hit the barrier created in desperation by Princess irene. She didn't realize how her magic could work while Kyouka couldn't.

Roaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!

The alligator roared furiously at being blocked by Princess Irene's barrier. The monster opened its fangs and wanted to rip them apart directly. Princess Irene tried to create an even stronger barrier, but the mana flow was cut off suddenly.

(I forgot that I have a power limiter built into me!)

Princess Irene gritted her teeth in frustration.

"Irene..." Kyouka called out weakly. Her face was paler than before.

(Please allow me to use it only this time!!)

[Twenty Layers of Barriers]

Clank!

The blood scaly alligator's fangs hit Princess Irene's barrier again. The monster finally went berserk, opened its mouth wide, and intended to fire an attack that could melt rock beforehand.

[Fifty Layers of Barriers]

Princess Irene gritted her teeth and endured the pain in her body. Her mouth, eyes, nose, and ears began to bleed.

Booooom!

Princess Irene can block the alligator attack, but her face becomes as pale as Kyouka's. Princess Irene couldn't calm down yet because the monster opened its mouth and wanted to attack them again.

"Irene, stop it!" Kyouka forced her voice because she couldn't bear to see Princess Irene's condition.

When Princess Irene was about to push herself again, a strange thing happened. The monster's head was suddenly cut off.

"I didn't think you could break that power limiter. But because of that, I was able to find your position. For now, you can sleep." A boy walked slowly towards them. He pointed his fingertip at the two girls.

Princess Irene and Kyouka looked in the direction where the voice came from.. They could only glimpse the shadow of the black-haired boy before their consciousness was snatched away by him.
