Apostle of the Gods-Chapter 179 - Attack on the Nursery

179. Attack on the Nursery

Tina also jumped after me.

She used her own magic to reduce her fall speed.

Our landing spot was the academy courtyard. There was already a demon there.

The demon was strong and too much to handle for the students.

It was a really good idea to wipe out the enemies inside the academy first.

『Take care of your landing.』

I called out to everyone via telepathy magic.

Neither I nor Tina fell at the speed where we would get hurt.

We emphasized on safety and reduced the falling speed

「–!」

While in the air, Rosetta silently shot an arrow.

「Geh!」

The arrow pierced the forehead of the demon in the courtyard.

And we landed vigorously in the courtyard of the academy.

At the same time as landing, Arti pulled out her sword and decapitated the demon in a flowing motion.

『The enemy is this way. Follow me!』

The scout Rosetta started leading the way without hesitation.

We followed behind her silently.

Rosetta occasionally shot arrows without stopping. The monsters died one by one to her arrows.

While running, I didn’t see any students.

Of course, I also searched with magic without leaving everything up to Rosetta.

It turned out that humans, demons and monsters were gathered where Rosetta was running towards.

When the number of monsters defeated along the way by Rosetta increased to five, the place where humans and demons were gathered came to sight.

The place where I go to drop off my sister every day. In other words, it was the nursery.

『We will conceal our presence and launch a surprise attack.』

As I conveyed that, the faint presence of Rosetta, Tina, and Arti became even thinner.

All the nursery windows and doors were shut tight. Demons and monsters were trying to break open the entrance.

There were three demons, and five snake monsters with wings.

And outside the building, three nursery staff and Runrun were fighting against the enemies.

The nursery was built particularly sturdy within the academy.

Therefore, it seems that students and children took shelter inside the building, and the staff and Runrun were keeping the enemy at bay.

The nursery staff were also members of the Salvation Organization. They wouldn’t be weak.

Nevertheless, the enemy outnumbered them. They won’t last forever.

「Gauuu, Gau!」

Runrun noticed us and moved flashily.

He bit the snake in front of him, thrashed it around with all his might, and then threw it at a nearby demon.

Runrun rampaged so that the demons wouldn’t notice us.

As expected, the demons simultaneously jumped at Runrun to kill him.

I made my presence even thinner and closed the gap at once.

Arti closed the distance as well with another enemy almost at the same time as me.

At that moment, the arrows shot by Rosetta pierced the demons’ head.

「Ve!?」「Gah!?」

The arrows shot by Rosetta pierced the demons almost at the same time.

As the demons were surprised and stunned by that, Arti and I slaughtered the demon and the snake with feathers. As we did, two winged-snakes swooped down from the sky.

「HA!」

Tina launched a Magic Tornado against the two snakes.

Unable to even land on the ground, the two snakes were cut into pieces in mid-air.

Previously, Tina also used Magic Tornado when defeating the Great Bats.

At that time, she couldn’t control it well and the wind blades in the tornado flew towards us.

This time, however, only the two snakes were slashed apart.

「…Splendid.」I muttered, witnessing Rosetta, Arti and Tina’s growth.

Thanks to that, we were able to annihilate the enemies in an instant.

「Will-san and Rosetta-san. Thank you.」

The nursery staff showed relief.

「I’m glad that you are safe. What about Sa–」

Before I could ask about Saria, Rosetta rushed in and asked.

「What about Rose?」

「She’s safe, of course. Saria-chan too.」

「Thank you…. Thank you so much.」

Rosetta heaved a huge sigh of relief and patted her chest. I was also relieved.

If we hadn’t made it in time, I don’t know what I would have done.

「Woof!」

「Thank you, Runrun.」

I gently stroked Runrun as he licked my hand.

While doing so, I cast healing magic on Runrun.

「Let me heal your injuries.」I said.

「It’s okay. I can use Healing magic too.」the staff said with a smile.

Children often get injured, so it seems that those who have the knowledge of healing magic are selected as staff members.

「Can I meet Rose?」Rosetta asked the staff. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

「Of course.」

「Will. Just for a moment please.」Rosetta asked.

「…All right.」

We should probably head to the defense of the gate right away. But this could also be our final farewell.

Before heading to the battle, it would be better to just meet them for a little while.

「Please do.」

When I said that, the staff chanted magic words on the door and opened it.
