I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy - Chapter 153
EP.153
There was nothing left.
At least that’s what I could see with my eyes.
The space where green grass should have been had turned into a dry desert.
From the remains of stone crumbs on the ground, one can only vaguely guess that there was originally a castle wall here.
“I…?”
I looked at the two small hands.
My pupil was shaking so I couldn’t capture it properly.
I couldn’t believe I did this to myself.
But I couldn’t help but believe it.
The rich magical power remaining in the air was undoubtedly that of Lloyd Christopher.
-how?
Only then did I remember what the self-proclaimed god had said.
He was probably genuinely curious.
How can we restore this broken world?
“So… what happened to everyone?”
I asked myself, but there was no way I could get an answer.
My legs were shaking and I sat down on the ground.
I feel dizzy, as if my head has been hit hard with a hammer.
“Are you conscious now?”
Then I heard a familiar voice.
Ruid opened his eyes and turned his head.
Rosalie was standing there, her maid uniform half torn and covered in wounds.
“Lo Rosalie.”
Ruid staggered forward with a look on his face as if he had seen a savior.
Rosalie held Luid’s body. At this moment, I felt a deep sense of relief.
“No… right?”
Ruid laughed awkwardly.
“Are everyone else still alive?”
“….”
Looking at Luid who felt extremely anxious, Rosalie slowly shook her head.
The smile on Lloyd’s face gradually disappeared.
“Are they all dead?”
“no.”
Rosalie said with cool eyes.
“Most of them survived, including the emperor. “The entire northern wall of the archipelago was destroyed.”
It was the happiest news I’ve heard recently.
‘You didn’t destroy everything. It’s not too late.’
Ruid’s legs lost strength and he sat down again.
“thank god.”
I breathed a sigh of relief. He asked with a slightly better expression than before.
“So the only thing that was broken was the castle wall?”
“That’s not it.”
Luid’s body flinched and trembled.
“uh?”
“Number 24.”
“…?”
Rosalie said unimpressed.
“You killed me 24 times.”
It was an indifferent tone, as if he was saying what he ate for breakfast this morning.
But the content was not like that.
“I… Rosalie?”
“I was the one who provoked him at the last moment. I understand.”
In Ruid’s wavering vision, Rosalie’s outfit can never be considered normal.
Rosalie has a personality that likes things to be particularly neat. He absolutely hates harming his dignity, and even if he participates in battle, he only moves without splashing blood.
I should have known that there was a reason why she was such a mess.
Or maybe even though he knew, he pretended not to know.
but-
“…let me know.”
I couldn’t just sit still like before.
“What have I done? “Everything, not a single thing left out.”
Ruid had a duty to know.
Rosalie observed Luid with interest.
‘This little human is trying to change. Everything is as Irene said.’
“As soon as he saw Amelia being harmed, Ruid went berserk.”
Rosalie began a long story.
“First we attacked the Gold Dragon Oppenheimer. I expected it, but they pushed the dragon overwhelmingly. Humans defeat dragons with magic. “It was unthinkable even a thousand years ago…”
“That’s enough of that story.”
Rosalie bowed politely.
“yes. “Excuse me.”
Is it because I died 24 times?
I felt more polite than before.
“But a dragon is a dragon. When defeat became clear, I ran away without any regrets. After losing his target, Ruid went into a more berserk state than before and started destroying everything around him. In the process, you killed me 24 times. It was only one attack, but it was counted 24 times. “I am sure that the most powerful Windsor of all time is ‘Luid, who has lost his mind.’”
At this point, Ruid looked at Rosalie with strange eyes.
When I thought about it, Rosalie seemed to know something at the last moment.
He didn’t inform himself of that in advance –
and thanks to that, this situation spread.
“Now that I think about it, Rosalie.”
Ruid looked at Rosalie with creepy eyes.
Rosalie felt her body stiffen. It was an instinctive fear.
“I will cancel the apology I made earlier. “Rosalie deserved to die.”
“…yes.”
I thought about getting angry, but…
‘…Punishment comes later.’
There was no way that could have mattered in this situation.
“Is that all?”
“no. “Several people came forward to stop Ruid from running away.”
“…who?”
Gradually my senses were coming back.
Cruelly, Luid Christopher’s brain is horribly brilliant.
Even though I had already gotten some information, a picture was forming in my head.
“This is Amelia.”
“…Is that Damon’s order?”
Rosalie spoke without hesitation.
“yes. President Clifford ordered us to take our time while casting a large-scale warp.”
“Is your sister… alive?”
“Fortunately, Lord Ruid did not attack Amelia even when he lost his temper. But the previous wounds were already fatal. “I ended up using my magical power to attack Ruid.”
A beeping sound rang in my ears.
“at last?”
Rosalie spoke without hesitation.
“He died.”
**
Dawn is coming soon.
The time when the darkness gradually clears.
At the top of the Rhine Mountains, where the Empire can be seen at a glance, a woman in a black coat stood with her back to her.
“Has the mission been accomplished? Margrave of Sheffield.”
Irene Windsor’s clear voice spread through the early morning air.
A man covered in wounds stumbled and fell from a place he had never been before.
“No, should I call you Oppenheimer?”
The man who fell helplessly was covered in wounds. It seemed difficult to survive.
She turned her back and approached the man.
“You’re pitiful.”
He put his thumb in his mouth and applied a little force.
Red blood dripped down. Irene sprinkled the blood on the man.
As soon as the blood touched him, the man’s body glowed red and he opened his eyes.
“…Sheffield will do.”
“yes. Margrave of Sheffield.”
Sheffield slowly got up.
Irene took two steps back with her back to her.
“Is this the end of the plan?”
“Before that, let me ask you one thing.”
Irene raised the corners of her mouth.
“Did you give my younger brother a reasonable amount of money as requested?”
“…There was no need to lose. “Because he was stronger than me.”
Irene’s eyes showed this strangeness.
It soon curved into a beautiful curve.
It was a sincere smile, different from the fake smiles from before.
“As expected, my younger brother is great.”
“So there were variables.”
“variable?”
“The power of the President of the Imperial Academy was stronger than expected.”
Sheffield recalled what happened earlier.
The sky turns bright red-
An old man swinging a cane on the castle wall.
Following the old man’s gestures, fireballs filled the sky and danced. The old man personally blocked Ruid’s freezing magic that could have frozen half the world.
Even though it was a final magic that risked his life, it was surprising that an old man, who was at most human, could wield that much power, even if he was a dragon.
“When both sides used that kind of magic, the feeling got clouded – in the end.”
Irene tilted her head.
“at last?”
“…I missed Amelia Windsor.”
Taking advantage of the confusion, Hercy and Damon helped Amelia, who was injured, and disappeared.
Even then, Sheffield, who was already fatally wounded, could not be stopped. It was also important that the small humans were not visible because they appeared in the main body.
“You had two requests. Kill Amelia Windsor. … Play with your little brother appropriately.”
“yes. “In return, I risked Delrin’s resurrection.”
“But I couldn’t protect it.”
For dragons, promises are absolute.
To yourself and to others.
“But the results turned out the way you wanted. “Lude Christopher thinks Amelia Windsor is dead.”
“You used Rosalie.”
“okay. “That vampire had the same wishes as me.”
Irene smiled brightly and put her index finger to her mouth.
He looked like he was thinking about what to do for a moment.
Sheffield broke into a cold sweat, uncharacteristic of a Gold Dragon.
“human.”
“yes.”
“…Do you really think we can save Delrin?”
“I think he showed me the dragon heart.”
“It can’t even bring the dead back to life.”
Perhaps because it was said by a dragon, it was believable.
But Irene also knew that.
No – to be exact, I just didn’t want to use the Dragon Heart for something like saving Delrin.
“I already have someone I can introduce to you.”
Irene looked at a certain place.
“Chiron.”
When I called my name softly, a knight in black armor walked out.
It was a stealth technique so perfect that even the dragon’s senses could not tell.
Sheffield’s eyebrows twitched.
“Who is he?”
“I am a warlock.”
“I know how to sort that out.”
Sheffield’s face suddenly frowned.
“Because it stinks terribly.”
Chiron was insulted, but instead knelt down on one knee in front of Sheffield.
“I see a great being.”
Sheffield only looked at Irene, as if he was quite displeased with Chiron.
“What does it mean?”
“He knows. “A way to bring people from 1,000 years ago back here.”
Dragons can easily detect human lies.
It was the same for Irene. She is not lying now.
“Is it true?”
“yes. That’s right.”
Chiron raised his head.
“I have been preparing for a long time. “To awaken my dear master Delrin.”
“Are you Delrin’s disciple?”
It is also impossible for dragons, who can be seen as the origins of magic, to bring the dead back to life.
The fifth magic wall is extremely high. If it weren’t for God, it wouldn’t be possible.
However, Sheffield was immediately convinced by the term ‘Delin’s disciple.’
“If you are Delrin’s disciple, you will need conditions. “Is that what I should help with?”
“yes. “We need the three holy relics.”
Sheffield frowned.
“That’s impossible…”
I stopped talking and looked at Irene.
3 holy relics.
These are the three most symbolic events in human history.
The first is a cup of magic power.
An all-purpose weapon that endlessly pumps out a huge amount of magical power.
The second is the coffin of the first emperor.
A holy relic created by a single emperor who was the first to conquer mankind, combining all the capabilities of the empire.
Third is the determination of magical power. The contents of the cup of magic were now lost and ceased to exist.
It is said that if these three holy relics are gathered together, one can see behind the fifth magic.
But that’s impossible. Because the third holy relic magic crystal was lost.
“…I know that Louis Christopher has the first one.”
Sheffield approached Irene.
“The emperor will have the second one. “With the situation like this, there is no way not to take advantage of it.”
“The third is the magic crystal. But it has been lost for a long time. I definitely saw it with my own two eyes. The shattered pieces of crystal. But… I feel confident. Irene Windsor. “You know something.”
Irene just smiled quietly and stretched out her hand in the air.
“My brother’s subspace is connected to the northern vault. “If you’re a Windsor, you can enter and exit the vault at any time.”
The space became distorted.
The sub-space that only the Grand Wizard can use has now been implemented in this space.
‘Did he know how to use magic?’
Sheffield kept an expressionless face, but was deeply surprised on the inside.
“The cup of magic is here.”
A cup of magic came out of Irene Windsor’s hand.
Half broken.
Sheffield gave a brief exclamation and clapped his hands together.
With a clicking sound, the magic cup slowly returned to its original form.
With this, a cup of complete magical power was able to float in the air.
“This is the magic cup.”
Chiron looked ecstatic when he saw the holy object he had longed for so long before his eyes.
“And this is something I found out very, very accidentally.”
Irene’s hand was still in subspace.
She smiled strangely.
“In the past, the first Duke of Delrin Windsor wanted his estate to be located in a quiet place as much as possible. In order to make that wish come true, one of the three holy relics was necessary. “It was her wish to sleep in a quiet place forever.”
White smoke leaked out of subspace.
Chiron flinched as soon as he touched the smoke.
It was a chill that felt like it penetrated my bones.
“But she was afraid that the emperor would take away the holy relics. As she was worried, she melted the ‘Magic Crystal’, one of the three holy relics, and made it into a single sword. That was-”
His magnificent appearance was gradually revealed to the world.
“Winter.”
Irene spat briefly and a blue crystal-like sword came out of the world.
The floor was frozen solid because of the chill that came out.
Sheffield and Chiron stared at the beautiful sword for a long time with blank faces.
Irene held the sword and looked over the cliff again.
Exactly the direction the empire is located.
She said, slowly aiming her sword straight ahead.
“Now only the first emperor’s coffin remains.”
Gold dragons can see clearly into the minds of humans.
But Sheffield couldn’t know.
What is she thinking and what are her goals?
