The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

"Are you...

are you going to kill someone?

"At that moment, Lila instantly cowered.

Her voice trembled.

"Lila, this is an S-rank mission given by the vice dean.

It involves life-threatening risks, so even if you kill someone, you don't need to worry about it.

It's often your hesitation in not killing that could lead to the entire team being wiped out.

"I gently stroked Lila's big golden head and quickly comforted her to ease her anxiety.

"I...

I understand.

No, it's just killing someone.

Actually, I can do it too.

"As she spoke, Lila directly brushed away my hand that was stroking her big golden head.

However, I could tell that Lila was still quite guilty at that moment.

Indeed, it takes a great deal of courage to commit murder, and this applies to everyone.

And I might really be an accident.

"Then let's keep going.

"Becky took the Clarity Bead from the waist of the enemy he killed and placed it in Elena's hand.

Perhaps she knew that Elena's strength was indeed superior to Lira's, so she gave it to the strongest one first.

If there were more next, then all four of us would have items that would make us immune to the hypnotic staff.

And so we slowly made our way toward the deepest part of the college’s main library, the forbidden library.

Seriously, there were quite a few patrolling enemies along the way, but thankfully, Becky and I took them all down in the blink of an eye.

By the time we arrived at the entrance to the Forbidden Library, we had dealt with no fewer than four of them.

Sure enough, the lock on the door of the forbidden library had been broken, and the destruction must have been caused by a very powerful lightning magic.

Furthermore, the level of this lightning-attribute magic is at least at a very high level of advanced lightning magic; otherwise, this specially made lock could not have been broken so easily.

Actually, lightning magic is probably the most domineering of all magic.

The higher the level of the lightning magic, the stronger its destructive power.

So it's too unbelievable that this lock made of special material was cleaved like this.

Therefore, we can now conclude that there are definitely two or more people among the enemy who possess high-level magic.

The main inference is that since their leader's magic is mist magic, there is no way they would need this fire-attribute forbidden magic.

So this enemy is indeed quite troublesome.

"What should we do next?

"At this moment, Elena looked into the forbidden library that had been forcibly opened, and then quickly asked a question.

"We can only advance little by little, and once we sense the enemy, we can quickly eliminate them.

""Indeed, this is the only way.

"Becky is absolutely right; there's no other way right now.

Because acquiring this superior fire-attribute magic definitely takes time, this is the only time when there is an opportunity to defeat the enemies one by one.

Finally, with only two enemies left who only knew high-level magic, we were four against two, and we had an absolute chance of winning.

Although I do know some high-level magic, those are all forbidden spells that consume lifespan, so I try to avoid using them as much as possible.

I will only use it when it is absolutely necessary.

At that point, almost everything I've been hiding will be exposed, and there's nothing I can do about it.

Because one's own life is more important than the lives of one's harem.

However, just as we stepped into the forbidden library, I suddenly felt a black figure dart past us from behind, followed by a hand crackling with lightning reaching out towards us.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Bukapat, the Minion of ThunderHoly crap, how is this enemy so fast?

And the target he's attacking is my adorable little darling Lila right in front of me!

Absolutely not.

Even if it means getting hurt myself, I absolutely cannot let Lila get hurt.

To be honest, Lila is quite important to me, and this guy's attack is clearly aimed at killing Lila.

Once his hand touches Lila's head, Lila will definitely be dead.

But it's too late to draw your sword and fight back now.

Since that's the case, we'll just have to go for it.

I quickly gathered lightning at my feet and rushed over at my fastest speed, then raised my hands and pushed Lira away.

The lightning hands struck my shoulder the next moment, but the sharp lightning claws continued to slash downwards.

Once I was completely out of the attack, I fell to the ground and rolled several times.

I can roughly estimate that the cut is about seven or eight centimeters long and has already penetrated to the bone.

"Uh...

uh.

"It hurts so much, it really hurts terribly.

But I was struck by the enemy's lightning just now, and I only felt the pain for a moment.

Now that the numbing effect of the lightning has worn off, an unbearable pain has directly reached my brain.

In an instant, sweat began to slowly bead up on my forehead and back from the intense pain, while bright red blood began to drip onto the ground beneath my feet.

“Ivy…”Lira probably saw that I was injured because of her, and her already large eyes widened, and a look of panic appeared on her face.

"I...

I'm fine...

Don't worry.

"I quickly comforted Lila, because if I was injured, it would mean losing a very important fighting force, which would indeed make the situation less optimistic for the upcoming battle.

"Hahaha, hahahahahaha!

This is really interesting.

I never expected that the students in this academy would help each other.

It's so interesting.

""Third Brother, we could have taken care of one of them, but this little white-haired girl was so fast.

What a pity.

""It's nothing.

Even if more come, it's all the same, because they're just underage kids.

They're nothing to be afraid of.

"As he spoke, a snap of his fingers was heard, and in an instant, the fog over the entire Forbidden Library dissipated.

Furthermore, seven young men, probably in their early twenties, appeared directly not far from us with wicked smiles on their faces.

"You idiot, Ivy, why did you save me?

You even got hurt.

"At this moment, Lila crawled to my side and, without saying a word, tore off a piece of her black magician's cloak and quickly began to bandage me.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect this.

This scene feels somewhat familiar...

Back then, when you bandaged me up...

""Okay...

okay, stop talking.

Those were because there weren't any clean things before, so...

that's why we used that.

"At this moment, Lila couldn't help but shyly turn her head to the side, and her already flushed neck completely betrayed her.

I really want to go up and take a bite.

"Sorry, little girls, the fact that you've made it this far proves you're quite capable.

But now that you've discovered what we're up to, you're not getting away with living.

Prepare to die!

"As he spoke, the blond thug known as "Third Brother" suddenly gathered intense lightning in his hands, which then enveloped his entire arm.

"Could this be...

a high-level forbidden spell, Thor's arm armor...?

"At this moment, Becky said something that seemed somewhat incredulous.

"Oh?

Little sister, so you know about this?

I thought you shallow folks didn't know anything about it.

"“If I’m not mistaken, you are Bukapat, the criminal wanted by the entire Kingdom of Ellen, and a henchman of Thunder…”"Hey, absolutely right.

I didn't expect to be recognized so quickly.

Looks like this handsome guy is indeed quite popular.

""Yes, yes, Third Brother is so handsome.

"Instantly, the five ordinary-looking thugs behind him couldn't help but applaud.

Bukapat also started posing there, striking "cool" poses.

"It seems you guys are the Palak criminal gang, the kind of guys who specialize in stealing and robbing forbidden magic.

""Oh dear, oh dear, nothing escapes the little sister's eyes.

We are the Palak criminal gang, and the one who casts the super-level forbidden magic is our father, Palak.

This time, we are here to take the academy's super-level forbidden fire magic, Nightmare Annihilation Flame Spirit Break, so that my older brother can have his own super-level magic.

Isn't that wonderful?

"Although Becky knew everything about them, it was clear that facing such a formidable enemy—a professional criminal gang that also possessed forbidden magic—they would definitely not have the upper hand in the fight.

Furthermore, I myself am seriously injured, so it is simply impossible for Becky-senpai to defeat the four of them on her own.

Therefore, no matter what, even though I am injured now, I still need to participate in the war.

I looked around and confirmed that there were indeed only seven of them.

Aside from Bukapat and the person closest to him, who possess magic, the rest are likely mercenaries or similar characters.

There might be another person trying to steal that forbidden super-level magic book, while the rest are stalling for time.

If they can kill an opponent, they will kill them without hesitation.

Since that's the case, I need to find a way to resolve the current situation.

Moreover, that Bukapat possesses the arm of the high-level forbidden magic Thor, which looks almost identical to my Flame Annihilation Blade.

Wait...

they seem to be the same, since they are both forbidden magic.

Perhaps my Blade of Annihilation does indeed give the impression of being a magic sword formed from condensed magic, which is why it hasn't been considered forbidden magic.

Otherwise, it would surely be called forbidden magic, just like his gauntlets.

"Enough with the nonsense.

You attacked the academy, trespassed into the forbidden library, and stole forbidden magic from the magic academy.

These are all serious crimes, so all of you should prepare for arrest.

""Men, Odagan, go!

Let those little girls know how powerful we are.

"Without saying a word, they all drew their weapons and prepared to launch an attack.

Immediately afterward, the student council president, Becky, placed her hand on the katana at her waist without saying a word, began to gather magic power, and then charged forward.

Hey, Becky, how could you be so reckless?

The other person possesses forbidden magic!

How could you just charge in like that?

A ridiculous smile crept across Bukapat's face, as if he didn't take Becky seriously at all.
