The Baby Raising A Devil-Chapter 230

Chapter 230

TL: Zimmings

“Pretending to be nice.”

Emeline smiled, but she wasn’t displeased.

‘To subdue the sky… That’s right! Pur, make it rain!’

[It’s ready.]

Pur’s ability is ‘rainy weather’.

Pur is one of the few devils that controls the climate, and it can make rain at will.

That maze was created by human mana.

Human mana cannot, like the devil, create something that does not exist.

For example, we can’t make an umbrella without the materials.

The maze was created by rapidly growing existing grass and trees through magic.

‘So if something unexpected happens here, like rain or sunlight-‘

As the divine power was raised, my etwal, which was placed deep in my pocket, became hot.

Soon, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and a huge rain shower began to fall only in the vicinity of the maze.

Then branches of the maze came out, and the top of the maze was closed like a lid on a kettle.

‘-This means that the caster will lose control.’

Mina, who was climbing on the maze, was pushed by a branch and stumbled.

“Ahh!”

“Mina!”

As soon as Alan screamed in surprise, Mina fell.

“Hu…h?”

Mina slowly opened her eyes.

Condensed air on the floor supported her like a cushion.

‘Sandra protected her with mana.’

Mina’s group, including Sandra and Alan, rushed to her.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. Did you do this?”

“Yes.”

“Thank you.”

Alan, who confirmed that Mina was safe, quickly turned and looked at me.

“Why are you doing this! Are you going to kill Mina?”

Then Emeline responded with a laugh.

“You’re overreacting.”

“Overreacting? A student almost got hurt, but you said I’m overreacting?! Don’t be silly!”

“It wasn’t even that high up, and there was so much grass on the floor. She wouldn’t have been hurt if Sandra hadn’t saved her.”

“But it’s not right to sabotage other teams this way!”

“The professor told us to rescue the hostages. In other words, this is training in case there are hostages in battle. Should we care about such things in a battle?”

“T-that’s……!”

Alan was embarrassed and stuttered.

“You brother didn’t told you? So you are confused? Actually, I don’t care about Mina at all but this assigment.”

“What?! How dare you-!”

“I think it’s true because you can’t logically refute it.”

“Is that right, Leblaine?” Emeline said sarcastically. I chuckled inside.

‘They can’t beat Emeline by arguing.’

Even as a beggar, no one could beat Emeline with words.

‘Anyway, having a large number of students in a group is no longer an advantage.’

They can’t communicate without a communication device, and I’m the only person who has broken the barrier.

In order to know what level the barrier is and how much mana it takes to unlock it, they have to be in a group and deal with it one by one. I grabbed Emily’s wrist and said.

“Let’s go in.”

“Yes.”

As we entered the maze entrance, students rushed into the maze following us.

After entering the depths of the maze, I whispered to Emeline as I watched the students’ movements.

“Find the weakest yellow barrier and destroy it.”

“I can’t see the center of the barrier like you or Mina.”

“Read the magic formula and dismantle it.”

There are three colors of the barrier.

Purple.

Red.

Yellow.

The barrier I just broke is red.

“The students can’t destroy the red barrier. Even me, who has far more mana than other people, destroying the center of the red barrier made hands and feet tremble.”

“Then……!”

“It was originally meant to be a battle against other teams. We have to fight another team and claim the yellow barrier. So I think…”

“Yellow is a barrier that is weak enough to be dispelled during combat?”

“Yes. They don’t have to aim for the center. It must be at a level that can be destroyed by reading the magic formula.”

“Finding yellow is the key… How do you find it- Blaine?”

Emeline, who was thinking while holding her chin, looked at me as I climbed the wall of the maze and widened her eyes.

I took the sword from the scabbard on my side and cut the roof of the maze.

Then I threw the etwal in my pocket at Emeline.

“Keep it for me. I can’t let anyone see it.”

“What are you going to do!”

“I’ll see you from above. I’ll shout, so run as I call you!”

“Nonsense. Then the other team will hear it!”

I climbed onto the roof of the maze and shouted with a smile..

“Annes dressing room!”

Emeline had her eyes wide open, then she took a deep breath.

The Annes dressing room is to the left of Max Beggar’s Lair.

Emeline started running around the left corner.

‘Pur, it rains only about a kilometer from where I am.’

The rain poured down, and I was pushed by a giant tree trunk as I took up a position where the maze could be seen at a glance.

‘The yellow barrier… There it is.’

The barrier’s location could be checked through the branches because light was emitted from the barrier.

‘I can feel the location of etwal. Now I can see where Emeline is.’

I concentrated as much as I could and talked to Chul-soo.

‘Chul-soo, tell me what you see in etwal.’

[Blocked 2km ahead!]

A condensed mana was thrown 2 km in front of where Emeline’s moved.

[The wall was destroyed. Emeline was surprised but soon jumped over the destroyed part!]

“Aria Salon!”

Aria Salon is at the 8 o’clock direction from Max Beggar’s lair. Emeline ran to the 8 o’clock direction.

If I’m too far away from etwal, I will not be able to communicate with the devils, so I used Pur’s ability to grow branches as close to Emeline as possible.

[Yellow barrier, found it!]

‘Can Emeline dismantle it?’

[I think so.]

About 5 minutes later, a signal came from Chul-soo.

[Dismantling complete! Hostages are… cute…]

‘What?’

[It’s a puppy.]

“Emeline! I’ll protect it, so send it up!”

“Okay!”

I moved down from the top of the maze, as Emelime climbed onto the wall and gave me the puppy. The dog frantically wags its tail and jumped into my arms.

“Oguogu. It’s dangerous here, so let’s go somewhere safe there.”

Pur moved the dark cloud to the end of the maze. The raised tree trunk was trimmed with a knife to make a cage so that the dog would not be stolen.

I left the puppy in the cage and turned my head to see other students coming up to the roof of the maze.

‘Did they follow me?’

Seeing Alan just coming up, I smiled.

“Are you going to keep me in check now?”

“Shut up. Sandra, run straight ahead. It’s yellow!”

While me and Emeline rescued the puppy, the team seems to have dismantled the different color barriers. And they’d know like us. The only thing students can break is yellow.

I tapped Alan’s shoulder.

“Excuse me.”

“What. Can’t you see I’m busy-!?”

“This is my seat, so please leave.”

“What……?”

“Go away, you rascal.”

I kicked Alan as he crashed down.

‘Idiot, why would I be here after breaking the barrier?’

Because I know that over time there will be teams that follow us,

“Emeline, Arnes dressing room!”

[Blocked 3 km ahead.]

“Send the puppy up!”

And also to make every student that comes up fall down.

Me, Emeline, Chul-soo, and Pur are doing a great job.

We’re already dismantling the fifth yellow barrier. We’ve also dealt with the two-point red barrier, so we’re in the lead with seven points.

Meanwhile, in the maze, a battle broke out between different teams.

They seem to have realized that it is easier to find and secure the hostages hidden by other teams than to find the moving yellow barrier.

‘Okay, about 30 minutes left.’

Now I have to go down and deal with the different color barriers.

But just then,

“Wow, look at that.”

A girl climbed up the maze with a familiar voice. Like Sandra did, Mina condensed mana and floated in the air.

“I’m sorry, Leblaine. Our team doesn’t have time now.”

“We don’t have time either.”

“Alan and Sandra said they had to be in Class A because of their families. I’m the captain, so I have to do something for my teammates.”

“Is that so?”

Mina pointed the sword at me and said.

“Let’s duel! The one who wins takes all the hostages saved so far. How is it?”

“Why should I?”

“Huh?”

“I don’t want to. Our group has a much higher score than yours. Even if the evaluation ends like this, the 1st place is our group, so why do we have to fight?”

Then Alan, who was looking up at the sky in the maze, squeaked.

“You’re not going to accept? Don’t you know about chivalry?”

“Do you mean that you know chivalry and want to take all the hostages that other groups have worked hard for in a duel?”

“W-what?”

I didn’t respond to Alan’s words. Just as I turned my back, I heard Mina’s voice behind me.

“Are you avoiding it? Are you afraid of losing?”

I turned my head and glanced at Mina.

“You know, Mina.”

“Yes, say it.”

“You’ll die if I even snap one finger.”

“…… What?”

“It’s true.”

I tilted my head and took a step closer to Mina.

“Even if you have all the power of God within you, you cannot defeat me. Because you don’t know how to use that power.”

“But we have to-”

“13 years.”

No, adding the previous life would be an unimaginable amount of years.

“I practiced with all my might for years that you could never imagine.”

“I-”

“If you want to compete with me, bet on something more valuable than this.”

“…….”

“That way, the time you put my life on the line would not be a funny occasion.”

Mina and my gaze collided in the air.

“What?”

I said with a smile.

“How about etwal?”

“Et…… wal?”

“A relic kept in the temple. It will be given to the real child of fate.”

Mina’s eyes widened, and I smiled.

“How about using it?”
