Halt and his comrades arrived while I was waiting at the Guild’s annex arena yesterday.
Everyone looked stronger than now that I saw them close-up.
Being an adventurer for a long ti gives you the ability to gauge whether soone has a higher rank than you in an instant when facing them.
I’m a Level 92 high level knight, and yet it felt like these guys had a higher level than .
That blue-haired pretty girl nad Luna seed like she’s the weakest one in the bunch, but I probably won’t win against her in a 1v1 battle.
And yet here I am as the proctor for their advancent exam — what a joke.
Well, they’re just gonna fight with slis at any rate.
Halt and his comrades will probably kill them off in a heartbeat.
The results would still be the sa even if sobody else was the proctor, so I should be fine.
— That’s what I thought.
Sothing unbelievable happened right under my nose.
Halt and his comrades lost against the sli.
Everyone.
Everyone lost, or should I say bound by the slis.
Unbelievable.
──＊＊＊──
Youko’s party was the first one to attack, and I see them attack it fiercely, but the sli remained unscathed.
The sli suddenly disappeared after that.
— No, it just moved at a great speed that it looked like it vanished on the spot, catching Youko and her party from behind and restraining them in a flash.
In order to have a full view of the exam, I was standing a little farther away from them while observing them, so I was able to catch the sli’s figure around the ti it appeared behind Youko and her party.
It couldn’t be helped that I lost sight of the sli since it moved with that speed.
Did slis…move that fast?
At any rate, I haven’t seen one move like that before.
The shocking events continued to unfold.
Luke’s party went into battle mode this ti to save Youko’s party.
A different sli from the one restraining Youko’s party blocked them.
That sli practically scread danger, too.
Luke unleashed a lightning spell stronger than any lightning spells I’ve seen before, but the sli was still fine and dandy even after that.
Luke yelled [Ultimate Thunder].
If my mory serves right, this is the highest level of lightning spells. It’s a mystery why a guy who just beca an adventurer could even wield that magic, but more than that, it’s shocking how abnormal this sli is for being able to resist that spell.
Afterward, the sli beat that Ryuushin guy black and blue. After his comrades healed him, half of his body morphed into a dragon.
This guy was probably a dragonoid.
I traveled all over the world, but I never t a dragonoid in my entire life. That’s just how rare their species is.
By the way, it’s said that dragonoids are super strong. That’s because they have the blood of dragons — S-rank monsters — coursing through their veins.
He’s strong, but his party teammates still supported him with auxiliary magic.
Ryuushin’s half dragon half human body crackled and shined with thunderbolt, wind and light.
He’s so cool.
And looked really strong.
But that Ryuushin was —
Easily defeated…
Just as he was about to attack the sli in front of him, a different sli extended its tentacle and tripped Ryuushin.
Ryuushin dived to the ground really fast, and it looked super painful.
With this, the 1 party vs 1 sli system broke down.
Halt and the others had been observing the whole ti, but now they also joined the fight.
The battle was…
How should I say this…
To sum it up — it was totally insane.
It was on a whole nother level.
It’s like heroes fighting against the demon king.
I’ve never seen a demon king or a hero before, but…Well, that’s just how abnormal this fight before is.
I’m still the exam proctor, so I have the duty to save the rookies when things go crazy.
This situation was obviously insane.
Still…It was out of my league.
I’m only as powerful as a B-rank adventurer can get, so just how the heck can I stop a battle between a demon king and heroes, huh?!
Besides, it’s already a mystery that I’m still in one piece even though I’m here.
Just the aftershock of the spell that Halt launched to the sli was enough to erase my existence from the world.
And yet here I was, safe and sound.
Even the arena was fine except for the floor.
I soon discovered the reason for it.
When that woman called Sitri launched an explosive spell, I saw a gigantic transparent do enclosing the area where Halt and his comrades were fighting.
The [Magical Barrier] that would probably take dozens of high level wizards had been set up before I knew it.
I was standing outside that do, so that’s probably the reason why I’m still in one piece.
Of course, I don’t have an inkling how to do this.
There’s no way the mages belonging to our Guild could set up a magical barrier that is so perfectly transparent the only way you can see it is when the smoke from an explosion covered the interior. Not only that, it would be impossible for them to build a barrier that can contain the aftermath of a battle that had the survival of the world at stake taking place within it.
Even the most powerful A-rank adventurers of our guild couldn’t do this stunt.
This magical barrier that had been put up in an instant had been protecting , the surrounding area, the adventurer’s guild nearby, and even this country called Glendale.
If not for this —
Glendale had probably been destroyed already.
Just imagine the level of this battle that was unfolding right before my eyes.
The only thing I could do was watch while praying that Halt and his comrades would win.
The battle just beco fiercer by the second, with several explosions happening in succession.
After the smoke cleared up —
Halt and the others were lying on the ground.
Youko and Sitri’s parties had all been captured by the slis’ tentacles.
