I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 101
[Sun – Clau Solas (9)]
Clau Solas is disguised as the moon.
When I reach this possibility, I feel dizzy.
“Hmm…”
“To the sun during the day… to the moon at night…”
Runia and Yuel looked equally troubled at our guess.
“It really wouldn’t be as far apart as the sun and the moon. If it were that far away, it would be impossible to reach in the first place, so there’s no need to think about it.”
“There must be a magical barrier spread across the entire Sky Island. To operate this much magic permanently…”
“Clau Solas himself must be the medium of magic.”
If you spend four years in this fantasy world, that kind of guess comes naturally.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is great magic. A technique that is different from simple destruction magic.
“Is there… a way to reach it?”
“It’s not impossible. But… it’s impossible for us.”
Except for Yuel, all of them are melee knights. It is difficult for Yuel to demonstrate his power in this place where there is no forest.
“…The solar eclipse is in two days. Until then, let’s figure out a way.”
“That’s right. Nothing has been confirmed yet.”
It’s still too early to give up. We figured out a way… and the next afternoon. Something happened.
Runia cut off one of the giant’s arms.
* * * *
“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!”
A loud screaming sound. We, who were exploring the giant’s castle, ran straight toward the source of the sound.
“Tch…”
At the place where we hurriedly ran, dozens of giants were already surrounding something. And the center of it all…
“Sister!”
Runia was standing quietly, trampling on a giant three times bigger than her.
“Human…! How dare you do this!”
“I will kill you!”
“If you want to die, I won’t stop you.”
Runia is undefeated even against dozens of giants. I hurriedly went into the gap between them.
“Wait a minute! Let’s first check what’s going on!”
When asked what was going on, Runia calmly recited the details of the incident.
“He tried to eat me. He said he could eat at least one of them except for the druid. I offered him a piece of meat.”
Is that meat one of the giant’s arms? Anyone can see that this is self-defense.
“You arrogant human being! How dare you come to our castle and misbehave!”
“I’ll boil it and eat it!”
The greedy giants were probably happy with such an incident. Yes, since they are such violent people, they were probably imprisoned on Sky Island.
Each giant is a mid-boss level entity that starts from at least level 1. If there are dozens of such giants… confronting them head-on is suicidal.
“Wait! Listen to my baby, brothers!”
“Nothing to listen to…!”
“My master, Dun Skies, will bring gifts for you! Thousands of serpents and hundreds of toads!”
“huh?”
“Snake?”
“toad?”
An expression as if asking what it was and an expression of interest as if asking me to elaborate. Anyway, the aggro was drawn.
“Monk Dun Sky appreciates your hard work! He brought enough snakes and toads to last you a lifetime!”
“Hmm…”
“If you show generosity, the master will provide infinite meat for you!”
Okay, Doon Skies? It’s up to you to clean up afterwards.
As I continued to sell medicines and non-existent items, the giants seemed to be convinced and returned. Even the one with his arm cut off.
They aren’t inherently intelligent, but they believe the blank checks I often give out.
“Mr. Runia, let’s go back first.”
“…I’m sorry for making a fuss.”
“No, thanks to that I was able to be on alert in advance.”
We decided to stop exploring during the day and move only tonight. And…….
‘Look at these motherfuckers. I knew it would be like this.’
* * * *
The giant’s castle has a large public dining room appropriate for its size.
Furniture and cooking utensils made by the druids who helped build the first castle as traces of their own civilization.
However, for the giants who could not give up their wild habits, the restaurant became like a public meeting place where fifty giants could gather at once.
“Captain. This guy is coming to get the sun.”
“That’s right. Dune Skiaki? That guy.”
“Didn’t that rattle bring us snakes and toads? Enough to last us a lifetime!”
“That’s right.”
“so?”
“Let’s eat him! Wouldn’t there be more meat if we go to his house?”
“As soon as I finish.”
Unfortunately, the giants had no concept of barter.
Even though their castle was filled with goods that could monopolize all the meat and crops in the kingdom, there was no concept of giving what was mine and receiving what was from the other person.
As a living creature, the way of thinking itself is different.
“But he was sent by Uskias…”
“If he takes the sun, doesn’t that mean the order given by ancestor ‘Sharvan’ will end?”
“Hmm?”
“Sharvan told us to give the sun to whoever brings us red rowan berries.”
“That’s right. My grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather said that.”
“Then aren’t we free after giving the sun?”
“is it?”
“Let’s go down to the ground and eat all the humans! Except the druids!”
“But how can we get down to the ground…”
“There’s a tree they climbed on. Wouldn’t it be okay to climb down there?”
“Let’s do it! Let’s do it!”
“As soon as I finish!”
“Let’s feast on humans! Let’s take all the meat from Sukiyaki!”
The giants cheered all at once. They were excited by the thought that they would regain their freedom if they could only fulfill the obligations that Sharvan had imprinted on their bloodline.
Of course, that freedom was close to self-indulgence.
* * * *
In the end, I couldn’t find a way to get closer to the sun. Although it wasn’t as close to the actual distance between planets, the distance from the sun was close enough.
What we can conclude is, ‘We can’t get Klau Solas.’
“Arisha, are you ready?”
“Yes… I took good care of it.”
However, it was not without income.
By gritting my teeth next to the giants, I was able to find out their prized treasures, and one of them was the ‘chicken that lays golden eggs’ that I saw with Arisha at dawn.
“It’s fascinating to see a harp that plays by itself.”
The chicken that lays golden eggs. And a harp that plays by itself.
“Kkkkio…!”
And the chicken and the harp are in Arisha and my hands.
Why is this in my hand? Of course I stole it.
“Yuel. How are you? Did the spirits see you?”
“Yes, and the sun too…”
We naturally turned our gaze to the sky.
Clau Solas. A shadow is slowly appearing on the figure disguised as the sun. As the solar eclipse begins, a shadow will also be cast on Cloud Solas.
“Okay, as planned. It’s worth spending money on astronomers.”
A ‘total solar eclipse’ penetrating the east. This is a story that was famous in previous episodes as well.
The total solar eclipse, which occurred for the first time in 99 years and completely covered the sun, lasted for about two hours.
Ever since I defeated Permak and acquired the information about Pindias, I have been measuring the timing of the eclipse from Lenya of the city’s astronomer information guild.
Originally, Klau Solas would have been acquired by Doomnorix and Skyes through a fair process. But a variable like me will disrupt their plans.
“Let’s start slowly.”
“I heard the plan, but… my fiancé’s head seems to be spinning in the wrong direction.”
“I take it as a compliment.”
Except for Yuel, Sister Aden and I confidently left the castle.
With a chicken that lays golden eggs and a harp that plays by itself.
“Now, take a deep breath…”
“”He’s a thief…!!”
Immortan Locke. He will return.
* * * *
Skyth and Doomnorix are not behind schedule. They were able to arrive at Sky Island without difficulty.
Being two days later than Corin and his group who departed earlier was a defeat, but they have red rowan berries. They have an
overwhelming advantage over Corin, who did not go through the proper process.
“Hehe, it’s big.”
The giant The castle. Skyes jumped up like a child at the grandeur.
“Hmm…”
This was also Dumnorix’s first time coming to the Sky Island. He had been to Murias to obtain the magic cauldron, Undri. However, it was a space completely opposite to the sky island of Findias.
A place to hide the secret treasures of the Danan clan created by the ancient Sky Titans and Druids.
Those great magical buildings were a secret place that could not be reached through expedient methods.
“This place . Is there a name like Sharban in Edo?”
“I don’t think so. It is too small for the Sky Giants to reside in.”
Even this magnificent castle must feel like a toy castle to the Sky Giants, which are tens of meters taller.
-Warm! Boom!
-Catch that guy!
“Huh?”
It’s noisy inside. It looks like there’s a commotion. The moment when Skies and the other Robbins flinched at the roar that rang out from inside the castle.
-Kiiiiii…!
The castle gate opened. However, what came out from inside was not a giant.
“……The Wicker Man . ?”
A huge tree branch doll reaching 14 meters tall. It opened the castle gate and appeared. A
forest giant made only with the secret arts of a wise-level druid. Why did it open the castle gate here?
“Oh, you have finally come, my master…!”
Inside the castle A person who jumps out happily. A boy with a unique, wild smile. What can I say? It’s Corin Locke.
“My master! My great master! I have done what you commanded!”
“Huh?”
Skyes blinked rapidly at the excessive honorific and sudden action.
He could not possibly understand the meaning of this action.
“Ah! Master Skies! Your loyal servant Arisha has done what you commanded!”
Not only Corin Locke. Arisha and Runia also ran out of the castle and immediately knelt in front of Skyes.
Holding a flapping chicken.
“Jogi. .. Chinggu? Moyamoya?”
“”Take it!””
Two people handing over items at the same time. Skies, who had suddenly been handed a chicken and a harp, couldn’t understand the situation and his eyes were shaking. “No way…
”
Only Doomnorix was able to answer. I frowned, grasping the strand of this situation, but it was already too late.
– Pow!
The giant’s hand penetrated the chest of the Wicker Man who opened the castle gate. The Wicker Man, who was formed only with pure magic without offering a sacrifice, fell easily. “This
thief . field! How dare you steal our treasure?”
“I’ll kill you… Oh my.”
What the giants who were swarming around the castle chasing the thieves saw were two bastards kneeling and ‘someone who looked like a leader’ holding the stolen treasure in his hand. .
“Oh Mighty Skies! Great hero!”
“I stole the foolish giants’ treasure just as you ordered!”
“Huh? I? When?”
“Now, let’s kill the giants together!”
“Humans…!”
The giants’ anger is directed at the humans. To be exact, towards Skys, the master of thieves.
“Jogi… friends? I think there’s some misunderstanding.”
-Kwaang!
The giants did not wait for Skyes’ explanation. The huge ax, several meters long, was slashed straight at Skyes.
-Pizzik!
Skies split in half in an instant. The giants’ anger did not end there.
“Kill all humans! Eat them all!”
The giants’ anger was also directed at the Robbins who followed Skies. There are a hundred powerless giants, each of which is a level 1 or higher monster.
“Kwaaaaahhh…!”
“Save me!”
“Don’t eat! Please don’t eat!!”
The Rob people are unilaterally slaughtered. That was when the giants who ate them wiped the entrails from their mouths as if they were satisfied.
“Uuup?”
A giant who feels like his stomach is bloated. That was the beginning.
“Ugh?”
“Wuweeh…?!”
Thousands of snakes pouring out of the giants’ mouths, eyes, and nostrils. The giants became angry as they saw the snakes writhing over the corpse of the dead giant.
“Human! I use hex!”
“Kill them! Kill them all!”
Thousands… no, tens of thousands of serpents and giants began to fight to the death. In the midst of this bizarre battle, Doomnorix turns towards Corin, who is twisting his mouth evilly.
“You bastard…”
“Hahahahahahaha…”
The main culprit, who planned a carjacking murder with a grim smile. He leisurely recited his evil plan while looking at Doomnorix, who was unable to attack him due to Geass.
“No one can stop me. Not you, Dun Skies, Balthazar, anyone! Koprulu… no, if I can’t have Klau Solas, I’d rather turn him to ashes…! Wahahahahahahaha!!”
“Corrin, we seem like villains.”
“…He’s a villain, right?”
“Haa……”
* * * *
Corin and the group quickly began to run away to the oak tree, leaving behind the Skies and the others who were entangled in a desperate struggle.
“Hehehe, now let them fight among themselves. It would be even better if we die together!”
“Aren’t you the least bit shy, Corrin?”
“There will be no shame in Immortan Locke…!”
“……What is Immortan Locke again?”
“There’s… something like that, sister.”
Cowardly, despicable, cunning, confident… He is truly Immortan Locke.
“Ha~ I have to accept even this part of my fiancée… I can’t help but feel sad.”
“By the way, Mr. Corin, what if they subdue the giants and take the sun?”
“doesn’t care.”
“yes?”
“If we go down to the ground… we will cut down all the oak trees.”
“Ugh….”
It’s evil. It’s cowardly.
From the beginning, this person had absolutely no interest in straight-up methods.
“Only the victor writes history. Hahahahaha…!”
“Stop smiling weirdly.”
Anyway, the plan is successful. It would be best to obtain Klau Solas, but it would be more beneficial to leave the king’s two men abandoned on Sky Island forever.
As planned, Corin found the branch of the oak tree he had first climbed.
“There it is…!”
Judging from the other branches extending next to it, the oak tree that Skies and his party came from can also be seen. It doesn’t matter anyway. The moment I go down, I will cut down both trees.
“for a moment…!”
At that time, Runia stopped speaking. Three people stop walking at the same time. Yuel was the first to realize the reason.
“Wicker Man?”
Near the oak branches. There, a huge wicker man over 20 meters tall was staring in this direction.
“Could it be that he came riding the Wicker Man?”
“That…there’s no way that’s possible.”
Yuel, a druid, also denies it. Wicker Man is basically a secret art that uses the magic power generated by burning sacrifices as fuel.
The limit to summoning Wicker Man without magical power is at most a few tens of seconds.
There is no way even Doomnorix could come up from the ground while maintaining Wicker Man.
However, if he came up while burning a sacrifice, there would be no sacrifice to sustain the Wicker Man for a long time──
“Avoid…!”
At that very moment, our survival instinct, alerted, moved us. But even faster than that.
“KI──”
This sword’s monster. A swordsman with purple eyes was approaching right in front of my nose.
“Sword ears?”
-KIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA────!!!
The ghost’s cries echoed throughout Sky Island.
