I don't know what the other side is, not because I didn't see it clearly, but all the information above the its name is nothing more than a series of question marks.

It is just impossible even I want to know about that kind of thing, right?

The only thing I know is that its level is much higher than ours, so to it, killing us is like cutting vegetables.

Why this time my enemy is actually such a monster?

Although it is tempting to violently curse the ‘world’, but now there is an obviously more important thing to do.

After I took out my health potion and directly poured it into Aliyah’s mouth, her flashing red HP began to slowly recover after blinking twice.

Although it is said that she will be resurrected directly in the church, but the nearest church is also at the other end of town, it is really troublesome for her to return here without the teleportation.

I also took out another mana potion and health potion and poured them into my mouth directly, and the HP that I had just lost and my empty mana by using teleportation began to regenerate quickly.

"Aliyah, Aliyah, wake up, are you trying to sleep with your eyes open?"

"...... Damn, be gentle, it really hurts to be pierced in the chest."

Aliyah discontentedly shook off my hand, and then sat up from the ground.

The wound on her abdomen also began to stop bleeding, and it was slowly healing itself at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"This is a high-quality potion, did you make it yourself? It is a lot better than the effect of the potions sold outside."

"Is that so, you should talk this to Lanya, she will be very happy."

"Lanya...... who is that?"

"A friend of mine."

"Really ......"

Aliyah looked at me with a questioning look as if I was telling a big lie.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

"Nothing~"

"...... Forget it, this is obviously not the time to discuss something like that. What the hell was that thing just now, have you ever seen it before?"

"Not at all, and its speed power is too terrifying, right? We don't have a chance to win at all."

As she spoke, Aliyah discontentedly thrust her weapon into the ground and continued to speak.

"True, we only will gain such a reward but need to deal with such a strong enemy, which make me completely not want to complete the task."

"Now you remind me, we can only level up by two, even if we take turns to try our luck to kill it, or even continue to do so after our resurrection, it still can’t be completed, right?"

"Monsters in this world don’t have the ability to regenerate automatically, so it is not impossible if we lead it near the church and keep trying to kill it ......"

"Hey hey hey, you really intend to try that? It is a death option no matter how I see it If it has millions of HP ...... let's say it's one million, and if we deal one HP damage per second, at least it needs 12 days to do so."

"No, if we do it together, then it should be six days."

"You really intend to keep cutting for 6 days?"

"Of course not, although it won’t automatically regenerate itself, but if it kills us before we make a move, and it will just become us being constantly slaughtered ......"

"Then what to do? Give up the mission?"

"Although I think there is no a big deal if we give up the mission, but you see now the whole campus has become like this, if we do not do something, after that monster get here, this place will become a death academy."

"But there isn't anything you can do here.

"...... No."

I thought for a moment, then responded.

"Eh?"

Aliyah was clearly surprised.

"Think about it, what put the whole academy into the unconsciousness should be a device similar to a transmitter covering the whole campus, otherwise the mission hint wouldn't say to find its range and then find its source."

"True, but how to start? We can't even see the edge of it."

"That should be its edge."

"Eh?"

"It's where that wall is, think about it, if it isn’t the edge, there would be no need to put such a strong monster there."

"Then ......"

"Just memorize the location before, then find two more similar things and find the center of these circles they form."

"You must learn science."

"Talking about travelling to another world, saving the world relies on science."

I stood up and looked around, then said.

"That wall we just saw is in the east, in this case, we should move in the direction of the west...... wait, get down!"

As I spoke, I directly pulled Aliyah next to me down.

"Hey, what are you doing, you pervert, get up from me."

"Idiot, shut up and look over there."

Aliyah raised her head and stopped struggling.

It seems that she has seen it too.

The mysterious object floating in the air.

Its color was the same as the color of the wall, but it wasn't the same soft construction.

It was an inverted three-dimensional triangle, with an eye-like object moving up and down on each of its planes.

This thing only reminds me of the same thing, that is, the reconnaissance aircraft, but it is the first time that I have seen such a reconnaissance aircraft with full of strangeness that violates the law of physics.

I didn’t refer that its shape is too distorted, but I do think that it must have great connection to Picasso’s abstractionism.

It was not until I saw the red dot suddenly appear on the mini map then I reminded Aliyah to get down, and it didn’t see us because it was on the other side of that corner.

"Close your eyes and pretend to sleep."

After saying this, I also closed my eyes.

But I was still staring at the slowly moving red dot on my mini map, after all, I could only confirm the location of that thing through this map.

After all, there is no sound when this thing is flying.

The red dot was moving slowly, but I could feel my heart beating faster and faster.

Especially when it was about to get next to me, the thing actually stopped! I felt like my heart had never beaten so fast before!

"Area C CLEAR, no awake escapees found. Those guys should have escaped from the academy already, right?"

Suddenly, the thing actually spoke something.

This guy is talking? And the voice is not an electronic voice, could it be someone sitting inside?

"Keep scouting, take a look at the transmitter. If someone destroys the jammer then our mission will become troublesome."

"Roger, Doctor, reconnaissance aircraft number two is now heading to the jammer."

Suddenly, the red dot took off in the direction of the north with an acceleration.

Mission update: Track the aircraft and look for the jammer.

Sure enough, right at this moment, the intelligence of the mission was immediately updated.

Why don’t you raise the reward!

Seeing the red dot turn a corner, I immediately pulled Aliyah up from the ground.

"Well, it's time to earn experience."

"Hmmm"

Both of us used the sneak ability at the same time, and then chased in the direction of the aircraft.
