Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha

A deadly battle was unfolding.

While being bombarded by a volley of <Holy Flame Cyfer>, <Holy Ice Sherd>, and <Holy Lightning Zertos> spells, the dragons roared and charged into the forest.

Every time the dragons touched the trees with their huge bodies, the <Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias>, which connected all the trees, let out screeching noises that restrained their magic and bodies.

And then, once they fell silent, Emilia directly tied them up with <Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias>.

However, some of the dragons realized the presence of the barrier magic, and from outside the forest, they opened their jaws wide and spewed out their high heated breaths.

Their attacks easily swallowed the Hero Academys magical bombardment, and burned the forest.

If their power hadnt been attenuated by the <Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias> spell, those on the front lines wouldve been turned into charcoal by now.

It looked like the dragons were about to burn down the forest and roast their prey.

Tch! Not on my watch! (Ledriano)

Ledriano took off his glasses.

They served as a magic item that suppressed his magic power, so it instantly increased.

Protect and heal, Bailamente, Sword of Holy Harbor! (Ledriano)

Ledriano held up his ocean-blue sword like a shield.

<Holy Sea Guardian Barrier Bestret>! (Ledriano)

He coated his entire body in a magic barrier.

The dragons focused their breaths on him, but he stood his ground and endured them.

<Holy Sea Guardian Enchantment Rega Indrea>! (Ledraino)

He added a second layer to his magic barrier.

<Holy Sea Guardian Curse Wall Liad Anzemra>! (Ledriano)

His magic barrier was further overlaid with a holy curse that warded off magic.

Protect us, Sword of Holy Harbor Bailamente, protector of life since ancient times. Show your power and your will! (Ledriano)

Releasing the full power of his sword, Ledriano amplified the power of his multilayered magic barrier by dozens of times.

HAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! (Ledrinao)

He drew a large circle with Bailamente.

This caused the direction of the incoming breath attacks to be reversed, bouncing them back at the dragons.

Despite being burned by their own flames, however, the dragon swarm remained undaunted. Their tough scales and powerful magic power completely shut them off.

As I suspected, this was ineffective (Ledriano)

Several dragons flapped their wings and soared into the sky.

The <Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias> was a sound-based barrier, and even though its effects extended to the sky above, it would be easy for them to cross the forest by gaining more altitude.

Emilia I think were screwed. Theyre gonna get past us! (Raos)

Raos was glaring at the figures of the dozen or so dragons flying in the sky.

I had expected this many of them to pass through! Well give up on the flying dragons until the holy water-based <Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias> spell is completed! They would be too much for us to handle anyway! (Emilia)

A wise decision.

The effects of the <Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias> were also weaker in the sky.

If they pursued them any further, theyd be wiped out in no time.

This is strange (Ledriano)

Ledriano frowned as he looked up in the sky with his Magic Eyes.

Emilia! The dragons are not flying away, they are circling! (Ledriano)

The dragons were circling in the sky and gradually accelerating at the same time.

Everyone, put up your magic barriers upwards! Theyre going to charge! Emilia shouted.

The next moment, several dragons dived from the sky and into the forest as if cutting through the wind.

The students set up many layers of magic barriers above the trees.

<Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias> also covered the area over their heads.

Just as Emilia was preparing for the impact of the charging dragons, several trees fell by themselves, creating a small gap in the <Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias> barrier.

One of the dragons quickly flew through that small gap.

And crash-landed on the ground with a boom.

The students who were hit by the dragons sudden dive from the sky were blown away.

GROOOOOOAAAAARRR!!! (Dragon)

The dragon landed in the forest and mowed down the trees in an attempt to destroy the <Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias> barrier.

Kh! (Emilia)

Emilia attempted to put up a new barrier to replace the one they just lost.

However, several trees fell down again, creating an opening in <Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias>.

The other dragons aimed for it, and charged in from the sky one after another, blasting the students away.

The ones on the ground kept using their breath attacks, while the others charged into the forest, ready to die in the process.

It was as if they were trying to crush the barrier with sheer numbers.

Why is the barrier?! At this rate! (Emilia)

The humans numbers dwindled as the dragons began to overwhelm them.

If they lost a certain number of able-bodied students, they would be unable to maintain the barrier and be crushed in one go.

Emilia and the rest grew frustrated.

Its not over yet. Humans will never lose to the likes of dragons! Eleonore exclaimed.

She was inside a bubble of holy water, with countless magic runes covering its surface.

And activating her <Source Womb Eleonore> spell.

When I looked at the students, they were wrapped in a faint light.

<Resurrection Sanctuary Teo Ingall>. (Eleonore)

A soft, warm light illuminated the forest.

The dead Hero Academy students were revived and brought back to life.
