The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 121



◈ Episode 121 The King of All Vicious Beasts (3)

“Hurry and run!”

Casey ran without hesitation looking at the shaking interior of the auction house.

Her assistant Betty the third princess Erendir and the knight Enya followed her.

Coogugung.

There are cracks in the walls and dust falls from the ceiling.

If things continued like this it was only a matter of time before the ceiling collapsed.

It was all because of the aftermath of the battle taking place outside.

“I’m leaving soon!”

The four women strengthened their legs as they looked at the outside light streaming in from the end of the dark hallway.

Two wizards with knight-level physical specifications and the ability to strengthen their bodies.

The four people were able to safely escape outside without stopping each other.

Qarring!

No sooner had the four people safely escaped outside than the passage they had run out of collapsed.

A chill ran down my spine as I thought that if I had been even a little late I might have been crushed under the rubble.

However they could not easily embrace the feeling of being alive.

This is because I was overwhelmed by the scenery in front of me as soon as I came out.

“What is that?”

Erendir muttered in a trembling voice.

In her gaze a monster with a huge black mane was seen confronting the Knights of Ledervelk.

Three heads that look like wolf skulls and countless boil-like mouths growing on the body.

“The monster of Gévaudan?”

Casey who immediately recognized the identity of the monster widened his eyes in disbelief.

Enya who heard the muttering asked back in surprise.

“yes? Wait a minute. If it’s the monster of Zevodang isn’t it the same monster that was active in Gevodang in the Kingdom of Durman five years ago?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“But how? Apparently the monster at Gévaudan was known to have died five years ago.”

“He actually died. Parts of the body are still stored in the Royal Museum of the Kingdom of Durman.”

However Casey continued.

“Unlike the corpse I saw back then the details of this one are different.”

Especially the two legs that can be called front feet.

The corpse of Gévaudan’s monster that she saw was a little more animal-like than the one she was seeing in front of her.

Of course the monster in front of us also has the appearance of a beast but what can we say about its overall shape?

The guy playing around now looked a little closer to a humanoid shape.

This is because the mercilessly swinging forepaws had a shape closer to a human’s ‘hand’ rather than that of a quadrupedal beast.

Of course when I saw that the heads of all kinds of animals were hanging from those hands I even thought about that.

‘It’s definitely different from the corpses I’ve seen. In the case of the corpse in the Kingdom of Durman it was said that nearly 70% of the body had been lost but there is no way I would not know that.’

A monster that ate several knights belonging to the kingdom.

The monster of Gevaudan who brought about the terrible night of Bloody Night met its end at the hands of the great hunter <Abraham Van Helsing>.

And Casey was speculating that the person named Van Helsing might be another identity of the person named <James Moriarty> he was chasing.

Then now.

Is it really a coincidence that Jebodang’s monster appears here?

Casey’s head spun.

Her mind calculated the worst possible possibility.

‘Professor Moriarty. ‘What on earth are you planning to do in this city?’

Casey clenched his fists.

A lifelong nemesis that he must capture and the only wall he has been unable to overcome so far.

He was somewhere in this city right now.

‘The man is here.’

Last 3 years.

Casey has worked hard to surpass him.

That’s how I got to where I am today earning the title of color as a wizard.

I promise to never miss it the next time I encounter it.

So I’ll definitely catch it this time.

‘But first of all.’

Her eyes turned to the monster of Gévaudan which was running wild like a mad dog.

Every time it swings its tail the surrounding area is swept away.

That thing is not a living thing but closer to a living breathing natural disaster.

‘We have to subdue that rampaging monster. ‘To prevent further damage.’

Her purpose has not changed at all from the past to the present.

Strive to create a better world.

Isn’t it true that I have followed the words of my late grandfather risking his honor and pursuing that path until now?

Casey moved.

At that moment the gigantic arms of Jevaudang’s monster were falling on the heads of those trying to escape.

Her magic moved and at that moment the ‘water’ reacted.

Sigh!

The sewage gushing out from the cracked ground followed Casey’s will and turned into a whip entrapping the Jevaudang monster.

━━━!!!

The movement of Zevodang’s monster which did not even flinch despite the combined efforts of the Clockwork Knights stopped.

The flowing water tightly strangled the monster’s body like a giant snake.

“That monster stopped moving?”

“That’s great skill!”

The members of the Clockwork Knights who were fighting against the monster of Zevodang shouted in surprise.

Casey who had created such a ridiculous scene frowned and shouted.

‘What power…!’

Her hands trembled as she handled the water.

A large amount of water over tens of tons was all invested in tying up one animal.

Nevertheless this side was gradually losing power.

‘At this level it’s enough to easily overturn a tank!’

Kwaaaa!!!

The monster’s left head howled.

The strange waves of the terrible even gloomy shout permeated the water that bound him.

Pow!

The water that was binding the monster’s arms burst out like an explosion.

“what?!”

Casey gritted his teeth and tried to get more water but it didn’t move as easily as he wanted.

‘The intervention is not working properly. ‘There’s something in that cry!’

Casey sharply analyzed the monster’s abilities.

There is something magically stirring about its cries.

Does this mean that he is not just a big guy?

It was not for nothing that even the wizards were unable to control the monster of Gevodang on that day five years ago.

‘But if you’re pushed back you can’t be called a wizard with the title of color!’

Her main magic is ‘water’ after all.

In an environment where water existed she was able to demonstrate power comparable to that of a god.

And this city called Lederbelk had plenty of water.

The mighty Ramseys River runs through the center of the city and water flows through sewer pipes that spread like veins throughout the city.

Because all of those things were her weapons.

Quaaaaa!

The stream of water gushing out from the crack became stronger.

Eventually it formed in the air and took the form of a knight wearing countless armor.

The water knights with two pairs of fairy wings on their backs rushed towards Gévaudan’s monster.

“Reinforcements?! It’s your chance! “Push us too!”

The Clockwork Knights did not miss this golden opportunity.

They were knights.

The sudden magical support was surprising but they were not so immature that they could only admire it.

Every time the tip of the sword filled with aura flashes the heads of the beasts on the body of Gévaudan’s monster are cut off one by one.

Black blood poured from the cut section.

Wow!!!

Jevaudang’s monster screamed from the pain felt throughout its body.

Clockwork knights and knights made of water were chopping up his body from all directions.

Red eyes full of hatred embody a wizard who controls water.

The animal’s instinct figured out who the most dangerous person in this place was.

Oooooh

The right head opened its mouth wide and let out a howl.

Casey noticed that the crying was different than before.

The proof was that the water knights she handled were fine.

‘Isn’t it a shout that interferes with magical power? ‘Then what on earth are you going to do?’

The answer to that question came quickly.

Black shadows appeared one after another all over the city.

Casey felt a shiver run down her spine.

“What is that!”

Other people who recognized it were equally surprised.

“Ugh! “What is this!”

“Swarm of rats!”

“Where on earth did you get so many rats?!”

What emerged from the crack was a huge rat.

The procession of hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of rats was like watching a black wave.

It wasn’t just a bunch of rats.

Because among the rats there were also stray cats and wild dogs.

They appeared from all directions and rushed at people as if they were one body.

‘Nonsense! ‘Take care of other beasts?’

Casey could not hide his astonishment but used his magic power to create a large water barrier around him.

A swarm of rats swarming towards her is swept away by the water.

But the empty space was quickly filled by another swarm of rats.

This is one of the abilities of Gévaudan’s monster that causes nightmares at night.

What if the crying sound on the left side of the head interferes with the operation of magical power?

The cry on the right side of the head exerts control over all beasts.

Because he is the king of demonic beasts he rules over all beasts and beast-like cryptids are no exception.

It is said that the Night of Blood was caused by the abnormal proliferation of countless cryptids but if you dig deeper it turns out that only one being was the root of everything.

That is the monster of Jevaudang.

That is the king of all vicious beasts.

It was this monster that reigned over the night of nightmares.

“Hi!”

Casey who saw the rat approaching his ankle let out a sound of deflation.

Although she kept it a secret from others she did not like rats very much.

No if I had to say it it was closer to being scared.

She was known to have a strong heart but she was actually afraid of rats.

“Go away!”

Casey sat down his legs feeling weak.

Even though she shouted that with a tearful face she did not stop throwing water at the monster of Gévaudan.

If we stop here that monster will mercilessly eat other people.

Casey bit her lip.

Before she knew it the mouse had crawled up her calf and reached her thigh.

“Casey!”

Then Betty came forward.

Betty viciously grabbed the swarm of rats that were stuck to Casey’s body and threw them far away.

Every time Betty’s delicate legs moved a wave of rats burst out.

As if that wasn’t enough she lifted the remains of the broken building with both hands and swung it around.

The sight of her swinging a steel pillar larger than herself was truly like a warrior seen in mythology.

“I’ll help too!”

Erendir also came forward and protected Casey with magic.

Next to Erendir Enya also grabbed a portable sword and slaughtered a group of rats.

“Thanks for your help!”

Thanks to this Casey was able to fully focus on the monster of Gévaudan.

The water knights who had been hit by the monster’s hands and tail and bursting into tears were absorbed into the wolf’s wounds in their collapsed form.

At the same time it became countless thorns from within and struck the inside.

Wow!

The monster of Zevodang screamed in pain.

The beasts of the city responded to the king’s cry. A group of rats wild dogs and stray cats that were trying to attack people all rushed towards Casey.

“Casey! Looks like that monster is really pissed off?! “The beasts are flocking in!”

“Hang in there Betty! “The safety of citizens comes first!”

“We’re going to die!”

Ignoring Betty’s cry of horror Casey glared at Gevaudan’s monster.

All you have to do is wait until the citizens who were unable to evacuate leave safely.

But will he and his colleagues be safe?

Maybe I will die.

Still… if only I could save people.

I was just about to think that.

‘what?’

Suddenly Jebodang’s monster raises its head and looks in a different direction.

At the same time the waves of beasts that threatened to kill us also stopped as if time had stopped.

“Huh? “Suddenly a swarm of rats.”

“Has the monster stopped?”

The killing intent that had been suffocating disappeared like a mirage.

Casey was taken aback when she saw that the monster who had been glaring at her as if she were going to kill her just a moment ago changed his attitude like he was flipping his palm.

‘Why suddenly…’

He has a wild sense to immediately recognize who is most dangerous to him in this situation.

That’s why even when the Clockwork Knights slaughtered her body they ignored it and targeted her.

The monster of Gevodang turned his attention to her?

Then there was only one reason.

─When an apex predator appeared that was judged to be much more threatening than her.

Crumbling.

The monster of Gévaudan growled lowly.

A shabby crying sound that contrasted with the loud crying just moments ago.

Casey’s natural judgment caught the subtleties of emotion contained in the cry.

It’s angry and annoying.

and….

‘awe?’

Fear?

Casey who had analyzed it that way without realizing it was momentarily taken aback.

This is because I thought it made no sense for that monster which could be said to be a nightmare itself to be afraid.

Casey stared in the direction where Gevaudan’s monster was looking as if he were possessed.

Just then the clouds in the sky parted and soft moonlight came down.

There was a black shadow there.

To be exact a person wearing a shadow.

A black suit with a black cape fluttering over his shoulders.

And even the crow beak mask on his face.

The sight of him holding a large cane in one hand was like watching an actor on a well-organized stage.

Casey’s eyes widened when she recognized him. The pupils constricted and the lips trembled.

How could I not know?

How can I not know?

Even if you hide your face and cast a shadow over your body.

I can never forget that distant presence I encountered back then.

“James Moriarty…!”

The greatest nemesis in her life had appeared at this very moment.
