Chapter 252: 252
"Boy, put me down!" Evelyn shouted flustered .
"Sorry, but that is impossible . "
"I can run by myself!"
I rolled my eyes in exasperation . "Yeah, but I run twice as fast as you, so it's better like this . "
Evelyn bit her lips with a mortified expression . "Damn it! Wait a moment, I only need a spell to kill all these monsters!"
"… Headmistress, the reason we are running is not that we can't kill them . It's because we need to save as much mana as possible . Besides, how much mana you have left after two failed attempts to teleportation?"
Evelyn was stunned . Looking into her remaining mana, it was only enough to cast one seventh-layer spell . If she forced herself, she could cast one eighth-layer spell .
In the end, she could only sigh with a disheartened look .
" . . . I guess I can only let you protect me . "
After Evelyn failed twice to activate the teleportation spell, we were attacked by a group of monsters .
The monsters were not very strong, with the strongest of them being just in the tenth layer . They seemed starved and despaired for food, with red eyes and berserk expressions .
They were probably monsters that did not manage to go through the portal .
If I'm not wrong, the monsters were attracted to us by the surge in mana caused after Evelyn cast the two teleportation spells . Once they came and detected the two of us, they were unable to suppress their desire for food and mana and attacked us with disregard .
Of course, not all the monsters attacked us . Some of them took advantage of this opportunity to hunt other monsters nearby and get an easy dinner, but most of the monster did go after us .
So, what did we do?
Of course, we ran away . Or to be more exact, I ran away while carrying Evelyn in a princess carry .
It was not that we can't kill them, but in a situation where we must use our mana sparingly, wasting mana in an unnecessary battle is not a good idea .
Thus, to keep with the act without revealing my true power (and the fact that I'm using this situation to make my relationship with Evelyn closer), running away is the best option .
"… Boy, are you sure you are not using this opportunity to take advantage of me?" Evelyn asked with narrowed eyes .
"Why do you think something like that? I'm not a pervert . "
"… Not even you believe these words! And I can feel your hands moving suspiciously close to my butt!"
I shrugged . "It's just your imagination . "
"… Shameless bastard!" Evelyn snorted and closed her eyes in anger . She probably did not want to watch my face anymore in fear of fainting due to anger .
I chuckled and avoided an attack from a monster . Then, I jumped aside to avoid a claw, kicked the leg of another monster, and jumped over the head of one more, bypassing the group of monsters in front of us and continuing running forward .
I did everything using the slightest amount of mana possible . In fact, the mana I was using was so little that Evelyn needed to focus to feel it .
I looked at Evelyn and realized that she was frowning . She probably was worried about the teleportation spell failing .
I sighed . "Don't worry too much . It's normal to fail . "
"Normal?" Evelyn was startled .
I nodded . "Think about it . We are in a completely different world, perhaps in a completely different dimension . In this situation, it's normal if not everything goes according to our expectations . It would have been too easy otherwise . "
That is true . Teleporting between worlds is not very difficult, but if we are talking about teleporting between different dimensions, it's a completely different story . Each dimension is separated by a thin layer of energy .
Such layers, although thin, are very, very resilient . Normally, it's incredibly hard to break through that film .
