48 – 1. Academy (48)

#48

Even though it was the beginning of the academy, I felt all the bustle.

The first thing that caught my attention was the struggle of the teachers including priests and students. Against the ghouls and the skeletons with the curse, they were desperately suppressing them so that they would not leave the academy.

The curious thing was that even though the priests and priests were pouring holy power like that, it was a group of undead that were healthy.

The reason is probably because of the huge magic circle behind them. The ominous magic flowing from the magic circle shining in a special purple color strengthens the undead and at the same time prevents them from being able to withstand the attacks of the divine power to some extent.

Moreover, even though it was half-baked, it was constantly creating undead, so the stalemate continued without being able to do this or that. It must have been done to delay time with a high probability, or to prevent outside support from coming.

In fact, the effect was excellent. Ignoring the undead and moving forward to destroy that magic circle, it was dangerous because I didn’t know what kind of damage the monsters would fall behind and cause, but if I keep this situation, I’m worried about the internal affairs.

There was a sense of urgency and nervousness on everyone’s faces.

“Everyone, don’t be impatient!! We are still steadily advancing!!”

“Wizards focus on maintaining barriers, not magic! Divine power is not to spread widely, but to gather it in one place and purify the enemy with certainty!”

The one who leads them is a first-year professor wielding a sword while building a barrier with the bald teacher he saw in the joint class of the previous two or three years.

As if the two had been working together for a long time, they naturally replenished each other’s empty parts like water flowing, and helped the priests and priests use the purifying spell while blocking the endless undead.

I passed the mana to Kalion while watching it from the air.

As soon as they arrived, the shadow crows of the hive launched a physical attack on the zombies, so the effects of [Subdued] Were all filled. The target is a group of undead spewing out from the magic circle behind them.

The bald professor who discovered me belatedly opened his eyes wide, and the teacher of the barrier arts concocted the barrier arts, but the gathering of Kalion’s mana came first.

“Shoot”

“Grrr.

Kalion, who had been condensing magic power in his mouth at my command, vomited magic mixed with milky white aura, just like the image he saw in the video he had seen the other day. The bombardment of magical energy, which tore apart the belatedly completed barrier magic, flew straight toward the undead.

Quaaa!!!!

Seeing that while they were embarrassed by the undead being swept away in an instant, they quickly reorganized their battle lines and built a new defensive line, it was clear that the academy’s teachers were not chosen in vain.

“Ugh!? Priestess, hurry up and purify the poison that spreads through the air…!”

“No, you don’t have to. That magic power itself is burning poetry and curses.”

That’s right. The reason I was able to unleash the attack without caring. It’s because of Kalion’s characteristic [Divinity]. This power, which is close to rejection and extinction, is also a power that, in a sense, is close to [Death].

If you designate the target to be removed as something special and then delete it, that’s pariah. What would break

I think this is the original usage. Even when I first chose to evolve [Saint Dragon], In the video, I drove away death by wiping out the dead land and the undead that filled it.

With that in mind, he immediately launched an attack without hesitation.

After repeating the same attack two or three times, the path towards the magic circle, which naturally spewed undead, opened.

Aiming at that moment, the bald professor immediately jumped out, took off the white gloves he was wearing and at the same time took out new red gloves from his bosom and condensed his mana.

Awesome!!

Then, a light shone from his glove and began to spit out red flames as if responding to his magical power. Wrapping it all over her body, she rushed out and at the same time hit it into the magic circle.

Wow!!!

There was a huge explosion that made the air vibrate, and at the same time, the sound of glass twisting echoed. It was the sound of the magic circle resisting the bald professor’s mana. But that was for a while, and as the flames grew stronger, the magic circle cracked and shattered in an instant.

“Gooooo…”

“Kreukreuk…?!”

Then, the Undead, who hadn’t been affected by the holy power, began to groan and suffer. The accumulated divine power that had been ignored by the magic circle finally took effect.

“…Now!! Push on!”

“”Ooooo!!!!””

No matter how much they attacked, the situation was quickly reversed as they collapsed and became incapacitated. Confirming that, I approached the isolated bald professor to destroy the magic circle from below and burned the surrounding undead.

“You are… The cadet I saw last time. Thank you for your help.”

I could see his personality from the way he meekly bowed his head and expressed gratitude even when dealing with cadets. There is nothing to be gained by playing around here, only to lose. I calmly shook my head because I had no intention of harming myself by creating it.

“No. Rather, how is the situation now?”

This is a reasonable investment because you have to quickly resolve the situation so that I can rest as quickly as possible. Get things done sooner than that. As I continued talking with that meaning in mind, the bald professor nodded at my words, took off his burnt gloves, and put on white gloves.

“Those presumed to be warlocks belonging to the [Dark Magic Tower] And unknown monsters have invaded the academy. As if he had waited, he precisely aimed for the moment when the barrier was loosened for a moment for inspection.”

The bald professor who said that seemed to be maintaining his composure and cool-headedness, but the disgust and anger inside him were burning coldly.

“…Wasn’t it pierced too easily?”

“I can understand the feelings of the cadets who think that way. However, since the day and time of the field inspection are randomly determined every week and are communicated to the inspector on the same day, it is not possible to figure it out even if you want to figure it out from the outside. In this case, it would be correct to assume that the information leaked from within. It is also doubtful that there was a place where the barrier was particularly loose. This year, incidents really never end.”

Flicking his smooth hair through his glove once, as if he was sick of it, he looked at me with a low sigh.

“…Could you help?”

“Because I came here to do that in the first place.”

Anyway, if I don’t help, it’ll be a nuisance.

When he shrugged his shoulders to express his affirmation, the bald professor’s expression became more serious. Perhaps his thoughts are colliding.

From his point of view, it is only right that he should protect me as a student here. However, neglecting a talented person who can erase the poison and curse of the undead with no risk is incompetent.

Do you borrow my power to quickly subdue the case, or protect me, a cadet, according to the rules?

The scales tipped immediately.

It is the most ideal thing for me to go inside, and I came with that in mind from the beginning. But there’s no way he knows this. In a sense, isn’t he the closest person to a victim who is suffering like this even on weekends?

So let’s tell him a good story to ease his guilt. It was good to be outside anyway. Let’s ask him to prevent third party intervention.

“Professor. On the way, I noticed a group infiltrating the academy. I couldn’t grasp it properly because I was flying here in a hurry, but I think it’s clear that the target is the academy…”

“…Haa, a seungnyang who seeks the right time always exists. I know what the cadet wants to say.”

Perhaps he understood the hidden meaning of my words at once, the bald professor’s stiff expression softened. Even an academy teacher can’t do anything. Because the hardships will be entangled in the main character, and they will be hit internally and externally by such troublesome things.

If you can’t keep it, you’ll be criticized for not keeping it, and after you’ve tried hard to keep it and stabilize it, you’ll be cursed at for what you’ve done up until now, it’s already too late, and you’re incompetent. Could this be the real Gabulgi?

I would never have done it if it were me. Even now, I’m doing a half-doubtful job, but making it a job is different.

“I will go inside. Professor, I ask for a retreat in preparation for any unforeseen situation.”

“Ah, please.”

At the professor’s glance, I immediately turned around and climbed onto Kalion’s back. My gaze gathered for a moment at the figure that flew up immediately, but I didn’t care and headed straight for the sky above the academy.

Koo Woo-wook

My body felt heavy along with the feeling of passing through something sticky on the way. My chest tightened and my breathing shortened. I could see that complex curses were scattered all over the place.

“Carlion”

“Gureureung!!”

As if the curse that kept sticking to it was annoying, it exploded with milky white mana and blew it away at once. However, it was only a temporary method and did not become a fundamental solution.

As we progressed, the curse began to cling to us again, and each time we exploded our magic power to shake it off. But there is no end to this. This is because the quality and quantity of curses increased as we went deeper.

No matter how much [Subdued] Is strengthened, if it continues to force unilateral attrition, the limit is quickly approaching. However, bombing the academy indiscriminately is ambiguous.

You must defeat the subject of the curse. And the place where it will be is the place where Ban Tae-woong is with a high probability.

“Kahah!!”

A well-timed hive cried in the shadows. He means he found Ban Tae-woong. As soon as I accepted the information, I drove Kalion as if following a shadow crow that had emerged from the shadows.

….Quaaang

Then, on the other side, I could see the undead flying through the air as if they were being bounced off with a huge magical storm.

“I found it.”

The location is the 2nd Stadium. Despite this uproar, the artificial dungeon was in normal operation, and the cadets could be seen struggling against the undead inside. I immediately gave magic to Carlion.

It is impossible to distinguish between an enemy and an ally with a simple attack. If so, it would be better to fire an effective attack only against the undead. The image is a shower and a shower. An overwhelming power that sweeps away annoying undead as fast as a storm.

As soon as he passed it on to Kalion, the magic circle that developed in front of his mouth intersected and began to be reassembled.

“Shoot”

“Gooooo…!!”

Piuuu!!

The mass of magical power that was shot high into the sky, not the ground, enlarged as it was and then began to spread thinly and quickly.

At the sight of milky-white magic power falling in all directions, attracted by gravity, the cadets who were running away from the undead, the cadets who were defeating the undead, and even the undead were staring blankly into the air.

Perhaps they felt it instinctively. That that is the power to overcome this terrible situation.

Shoot aaa!!

A magical rain fell. The expressions of those suffering from poison and curses became much lighter, and the undead melted and died in agony.

At that time, a black magic spell aimed at me. In the middle of the compressed magic, the skeleton clenched its chin and showed a strong will to attack. Perhaps because of the strong curse added to it, the savagery filled with the feeling that he would definitely kill him was so sharp that the hairs on his skin naturally pouted out.

However, the speed at which it flew was very slow. No, it was “Seen” Slowly.

In addition to the increased stats, the skill [Focus on Combat] Was activated. It seems that this is also a battle because it is giving damage to enemies in real time.

I calmly delivered magic to Hive in the slow-moving world. It is obvious that such an attack will be induced even if it is avoided. If that’s the case, it’s better to just create something to replace it.

“Go”

“Caw!!”

“”aaah!!!””

A large number of shadow crows spewed out from the shadows of the hive and directly blocked the magic with their bodies. I sighed at the sight of the crows scattering into handfuls of dust and disappearing as soon as they turned into white bones, as if time was quickly rewinding the moment I touched them.

5621. Despite being under the effect of [Subdued] Under my command, more than 5000 Shadow Crows were sacrificed before I could stop the magic.

Even in the meantime, the enemies quickly decreased. I ordered Carrion to repeat the attack from high up in the sky as I roamed the academy and kicked him in the back in the air.

On the way, he transformed the shadow that made Kalion’s saddle into an elongated wire, retrieved it the moment he landed on the ground, and wrapped the shadow all over his body.

After falling from Carrion, the aftermath of the curse became stronger again, but when I made a mask and put it on, I was able to withstand it with only my magic power.

“You bastard…!!”

“Shinwoo!!”

I heard conflicting reactions in a place where I was so completely at ease.

One side is an old man who seems to be the one who caused this situation, and the other side is Ban Tae-woong, a troubled protagonist who causes accidents on fictitious days.

Of course, of course, but next to him, pale-faced beauty of the ceiling, perhaps in pain from being cursed, Lucia supporting it, Erika Onohara and Liri holding a talisman of some kind and maintaining a barrier were seen in turn.

And Ban Tae-woong, who was seated in front of them as if to protect them, was confronting the old man.

“A guy with no blood on his head dares to kill my cute child…!!!”

Ting!

I made a sword of shadow and slashed the bullets of bones that aimed at me. It must have been a quick shot because it was the basic magic of black magic, but the hand on the side where it bounced whimpered as if the magic power contained in it was more than expected.

In that brief moment, zombies and skeletons began to rise as if they were resurrected through the floor, as if they had ministered to the undead again.

‘He’s not an ordinary guy.’

Puff!

“Quaaa!!!!”

However, more than half of them burst or collapsed and turned to ashes before coming out intact. Due to the obvious interference of magic, the old warlock couldn’t get rid of his powder and began to stomp his feet on the ground.

“Are you this guy or that guy and you dare to interfere with this feat!!!”

Only one of these people is capable of the absurd act of interfering with magic that has already been executed. A person who possesses the lumber of an archmage. The girl with white hair slowly opened her eyes and smirked.

“I understand that now. It won’t happen anymore.”

“Keep it off…!”

“Nice, Lily!!”

At Taewoong Ban’s praise, only the corner of his mouth went up on Liri’s expressionless face. She was glad to see that she was still alive.

Thanks to Lili, half of them were destroyed, but half remained. Watching them begin to be strengthened by the old man’s magic, I closed my sword and put magic on my fingers. If the enemy is attacking with quantity, it’s enough for this side to match it.

“Growl, Echidna.”

Perfect!

The light burst with the sound of magic, and a girl in a nun’s outfit and a huge wolf appeared on either side of me.

I immediately made a belt to hold the shadow halberd and auxiliary mace, gave it to Echidna, and added shadow reinforcement to the tip of Graul’s snout and claws.

Even if you chew or scratch an individual with sea poison with this, you won’t be poisoned right away. He wasn’t worried about Echidna in the first place.

“Echidna.”

“A distant rest. Give me strength…”

As I put my hands together and prayed for my order, a magical ring was created as if it were going around her head.

A geometric sentence was formed inside the ring, which began to emit light pink with its own light, and a part of it descended and wrapped around every corner of Echidna’s body as if to protect it.

Fortified by borrowing divine power. It was the effect of [Divine Aura].

Tong, Whirik! Chuck

As soon as she finished her prayer, she bounced off the tip of the spear with her foot, and as soon as she caught it, her magical energy began to flow throughout her body. Seeing that, I changed the sword I had saved to a bow of shadow and shot an arrow.

“Divine Power”

“Yes”

As if pretending to be what I said, I added divine power to my magical power and started adding it to my bow. Even if it does not have a dramatic buff effect like [Blessing], It is effective against the undead by adding divine power to it.

“Ha ha..! Are you trying to stop me with divine power at least!? It’s nothing without a gore like you, that f*cking lizard from before…”

Kikki, Tung!

I added my magical power to that and fired an arrow as if to cut off the guy’s words.

Puff!!

In an instant, the skeletons and zombies that stood in the way to protect the owner burst out and began to struggle without being able to regenerate by the contained divine power.

“Why is your tongue so long? Why? Are you afraid that you will lose to that gore?”

Suddenly…!

The sound of grinding teeth filled with magical energy spread in an instant. As if encroaching on the surroundings, the sticky wind of the curse blew, and it seemed that his body was getting heavier.

As the people on Ban Tae-woong’s side drool under the pressure, the old man suddenly began to take a polite pose, perhaps because he liked it very much.

“…Ah. I have seen many people like you. Those who get drunk on their own talent and act as if they are anything. Do you know what happened to those guys?”

A wrinkled hand crushed the head of the zombie next to him. As if to show us our future.

“Originally, I was going to withdraw quickly by completing only the request, but I changed my mind. It would be right to eradicate the irritating sprouts in advance. It is the end of the road to the underworld. I will give you the honor of tasting the great sorcerer’s fragments of this body.”

Kadudeuk, pudeuk.

Black magic shimmered from the crushed zombies, and the corpse was compressed. In the end, when it changed to the point where it was regarded as a stick, it looked just like a staff made of corpses.

I was in good shape, but in the end, I was just buying time to prepare for a fight. I stretched out the shadow and occupied the old man’s bottom, and at the same time placed a string with an arrow attached to it.

“Come on, look…”

Tung!

An arrow shot as if an old man was interrupted in the middle. I aimed for the head, but in that moment, it seemed that the magic of the barrier had been applied, and an arrow that half pierced the invisible invisible shield stopped in the air.

The old man gulped down his saliva as if he hadn’t expected the arrow to come flying. After confirming that it was visibly hardened, I opened my mouth again, aiming for that gap.

“It’s so damn noisy. f*ck. Why do you take it so long when you say that you’re just afraid to fight, so you’re ready?”

“… Ha?”

“Why? Wasn’t that on purpose to buy time? I got the concept really well. You also.”

The old man, who had been speechless like a goldfish, kept his mouth shut as if he was at a loss for words.

There is no way to know if you don’t understand what I’m saying or if you don’t want to understand. What is certain, however, is that the old man was furious. Just taking the magician’s composure away was tantamount to winning half the battle.

“Or what? Why can’t you answer It’s been a while since I played house with a stinky corpse, but I’m talking to a living person, so my head isn’t spinning well?”

In the eyes of the old man, who began to tremble at my impetuous talk without giving him a chance, the blood vessels in his eyes burst, and the muscles in his face began to distort to the point of feeling pitiful. The effect is certain. Teasing Lee Se-rin.

“…What, la?”

“So I told you. No land Are you too old to hear?”

I converted the bow of shadow I shot back into a sword and raised my middle middle finger toward the old man’s face. And it wiggled as if provoking it.

“Don’t go all the way, do it?”

“…I’ll make sure to save you as much as you can and make it a material for my experiment.”

I wasn’t scared at all about living a lukewarm life full of vanity. As if trying to keep the guy who started preparing black magic in check, Ban Tae-woong and the children spread their distance and reached my side.

“…Shinwoo. It just got a little harsh.”

“Shut up and protect yourself. Stop her from doing nonsense.”

The last words were not addressed to Ban Tae-woong, but to Lucia. Right now, half-eaten by the curse, he was whimpering, but there was a look of wonder and faint hostility in his eyes looking at me.

Maybe you don’t like the current situation itself.

‘Ha, f*ck. If I don’t nail it down, I’ll do it right away.’

Anyway, a useless bastard. I stabbed the sword of shadow aiming at Cheonmi’s throat. I don’t intend to penetrate. Just enough to penetrate the skin.

Chang!!

That was also halfway blocked by Ban Tae-woong, who quickly moved his sword back, but the fact that I tried to cut her throat without hesitation only added to the hostility in Cheon-mi’s eyes. It’s probably because the effects of [Torture] And [Sadism] Were added to that slight attack.

“Jang Shin-woo. What are you doing…”

“I told you. Keep it.”

When Taewoong’s half-s*xy words were coldly returned, he hesitated but began to look straight ahead.

“…Please explain later.”

Anyway, I have no intention of losing. It’s annoying.

I entrusted his side to Growl and Echidna, then turned around and sat down in front of Cheonmi, who was half-prostrate on the floor because of the attack just now.

A b*tch like this can’t be identified unless you tell her clearly.

Pair!

I added my magic power and slapped Cheonmi on the cheek.

Her head moved rapidly, but as an Awakened person, she was able to stop her neck from completely bending by instantly encircling her magic power. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the hit hit hurts less.

I opened my mouth first before I could say anything in pain.

“A little bit of a nuisance. This motherf*cker I deliberately watched the rumors, so you’re doing this sh*t? This is the academy, is this your bedroom?”

“Uh, uh uh?”

As if proving that the word contemplation is not for nothing, at first, he hardened his expression ferociously at the fact that I slapped him on the face and began to burn his hostility. But then, when word of the rumor came out of my mouth, I began to noticeably panic.

Actually, I also noticed after listening to Lee Se-rin, but I came to know it as a result, so it’s not wrong. This level of bluffing belongs to aegyo in the business world.

The problem lies with this woman who took my words literally.

I should have thought of cross-validation or where the information was counted. No, she should have pretended she didn’t know ahead of it all.

It would have been hateful if he had been caught like that, but he would have praised it. Everything I said is just my heart and there is no clear evidence.

But this woman, she was embarrassed like a child whose secret was caught, and she accepted that my words were the correct answer.

This stupid b*tch is a candidate for the next head of the top gang in the underworld? Really talk sh*t.

I added [Charisma] And pressed hard with my magical power towards Mi Cheon, who was starting to panic. What’s the point of being weakened by a curse?

Are you sure this is my girl?

To me, this woman is just a bomb that may explode in a mass of nuisance. If she doesn’t break up now, it’s really f*cked up.

I reached out and grabbed the collar and tore it off. There was a magic tool in the form of a brooch. Perhaps this is a communication device. There were only high-level ones like one of the built-in magic. You made a lot of money.

Without hesitation, I crushed it right in front of her eyes as she watched. No matter how strong a magic tool is, it is useless in front of the violence of ability level.

“Whether you’re the daughter of the head of the underworld, I don’t care. But are you disturbing my peace? Then that’s it. Know?”

Patter

I coldly told Cheonmi, who stared at the fallen magic tool on the floor in vain.

“Can you handle it? You don’t even know who I am. But do you dare bring a filthy rat or something here?”

“…Huh, huh…That, stop…!”

I couldn’t stand the constant pressure, so I finally hid my face. It was truly spectacle that I was shivering even though I hadn’t even given a proper life-saving measure.

“…Ha, how nice are stupid people? You don’t even think about the consequences of what you’ve done, and you just do what you feel like doing. But I don’t even fix it. Huh? Are you comfortable? This sh*t happened because of you. How is it? Good mood?”

“Huhhhhh”

You have to take this opportunity to press firmly. That way, I don’t think about fooling around anymore. The moment I tried to give more strength to the hand holding my collar, I saw a hand blocking me.

“…Why don’t you just quit. There are more important things than her right now.”

Erika Onohara. The only sophomore in this position. If there is no point of contact called Ban Tae-woong, he is no different from an outsider.

She doesn’t know me. You probably don’t even know the beauty of the ceiling. Nonetheless, she stepped out. Because I thought it was the right thing to do.

Proof that you have not been lazy in your efforts since childhood to acquire the formality befitting your family is probably your current way of living.

She offered me a way to distract myself without hurting my feelings. And her suggestion is very reasonable. Yeah, first you have to deal with that old man.

Don’t mistake the priorities. You can do this later.

Quaaang!!

As if to show off that preparations were complete, I saw the figure of an old man who raised the corpse and began to explode it.

When I slightly turned my gaze to her side, Lucia faced me without averting her eyes with her pale complexion. I was watching.

“…Tsk”

She clicked her tongue. When she let go of the collar that held it with the pressure for the last time, Cheonmi’s body collapsed as if the tension had been released.

“Take care of things in the outfield before they move awkwardly outside and cause harm to others. Don’t let me, your peaceful daily life get caught up in things that aren’t poetic. Ceiling beauty”

…No, Duck.

Cheongmi slowly but surely nodded in agreement with my words.

This is like a final warning. She says that no matter how heroine she might be, she will utterly crush me if I get in the way of my goals.

Even if I become hostile with Ban Tae-woong as a result, I have no intention of yielding my will.

Once you start to bend, it’s not like a belief. Even if we fight against each other and break, never backing down and clashing fiercely and fiercely is what faith is all about.

This is the only wick left for me. The rest were all broken and burned. So you must keep this as much as possible.

Because that’s the ‘righteousness of existence’ I live for.

I turned around and approached Ban Tae-woong. He cut through the approaching zombie with his sword and at the same time checked me out of the corner of his eye and gave me a look that seemed to have something to say. It’s not that the bastard looks grossly like that.

“Concentrate.”

“…Yes.”

Let’s finish quickly and rest. I fixed the sword of shadow as I glared at the old man whose hideous eyes were exploding from the gap of the corpse.
