I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 12
[ Grimoire of the Great Library (2) ]
Just as I cannot interfere with the spiritual body, the spiritual body cannot interfere with me.
As I cannot perceive the spirit itself due to the precepts, I am virtually invincible against the spirit body.
‘It was the energy drain soul crusher overflowing honey of nightmares…’
These are the techniques that a special magic spirit sealed in a secret library pours out in Phase 1.
If the anti-demon resistance is not above a certain level, you will immediately be placed in CC state, and one party member will be in groggy state until the end of the battle. This is an extreme combination.
If you go to Phase 2, it will possess one of the party members and attack allies.
A notoriously difficult level where the party is cut in half in an instant due to possessing players and members who are not in CC status.
It wasn’t made to wake you up in the first place. It is the beginning of a quest that begins only after being suppressed once, and it is an episode that truly shows the power of the ‘Express’, which is praised for being outside the standard.
However, I am not under any attack in this place where the special demon spirit is located.
You must be panicking.
You won’t be able to understand it. Why doesn’t his attack work?
“Sevancea Duke.”
────!
I can’t hear his reaction. But the devil must have been frightened when he heard my voice. About how he knows his own name.
The start is now.
“A general who ruled the southern continent 800 years ago. A hero who saved the country. He is a great man who remains in history to this day… but in fact, there is a back story that people do not know.”
Originally, it recited the life history of the demon spirit that would be learned through the quest.
Should I get angry? Honestly, I don’t know. The dialogue in the game wasn’t that long, and in the previous episode, I was possessed by a demonic spirit.
So, I have no memories left except what I heard from Park Si-hoo and his colleagues while doing the quest.
“Even in the South, your anecdote is so famous that it still remains. There’s even a book called The Truth About Chapre Castle.”
…………
“You were an ‘awakened’ vampire.”
In this world, an element called ‘the Son of Man’ exists.
The source of the transformation that causes ordinary humans to awaken into demons at some point. To be precise, it is closer to changing the elements that make up the body.
When you see the full moon, you can turn into a beast, grow horns, or feel the urge for blood.
Although they are not impossible to control, they are ‘non-humans’ who have been ostracized for a long time due to their violent ferocity and alien nature.
“You awoke as a vampire and felt the urge to suck blood. A servant was your first victim. You knew that if you ran out of the castle, no one would be able to stop you.”
Except for the first victim, Sebancia tried to suppress his vampiric impulses by sucking the blood of dogs or pigs.
To avoid being tempted, he sent all his family members, except his wife and daughter, out of the castle and locked himself in his room.
“You tried many times, but you could not find a way to suppress your vampiric impulses. Even your fearful wife and daughter were nothing more than prey to you.”
He was afraid. I wonder if my growing impulsiveness might even be eating my family.
“You even evacuated your family and closed down Chapre Castle. Then you sealed yourself with magic. In the book over there.”
That is the identity of Grimoire in this library. To be exact, there is only one book I was trying to acquire.
…………
It’s about time for the bite to come. Even though I didn’t realize it, I could feel that he was listening to me attentively.
The special demon spirit here is a good one, but the tag still has ‘good’ on it, and we were defeated in the previous round, but we didn’t die.
Originally, this quest would start by listening to his story after being subdued.
“Louina Duke. Cecilia Duke.
…!!
You’ll want to ask, “How did you get that name?” You’ll be just as interested in me as if you knew your own name.
“Would you like to talk to me sometime? “I can’t see spirits.”
He said and approached the unconscious Lark. He then punched him in the ear. Just enough to make him conscious.
“Ugh…?!!”
A half-asleep look on his face . Lark’s pupils suddenly dilated.
Just a few seconds later, Lark’s mood changed.
“Babe…”
“Sevancea Duke.”
That’s right. What’s inside Lark is Sevancia Duke Grimwa. It is a special magic spirit sealed in Le.
“How…”
“It’s not important. Are you curious? What happened to those two people?”
Wife, Louisa Duke.
Daughter, Cecilia Duke.
The side quest given by the special magic spirit of the library is to investigate the backstory of these two people. Thanks to this, I went on a business trip to the south and had a lot of trouble. “Can you tell me
? ……”
You can’t make up a false story. This ancient vampire has the power to see through lies.
No matter how much the player raised his speaking level, he could not fool the demon Sevancia Duke.
“Ruina Duke He ran away with Cecilia Duke. But the world was difficult for a noblewoman who grew up beautifully.”
This is a story I found out through my own research in the South. There was a ‘diary’ left behind by her daughter, Cecilia Duke.
“Louis or Duke was defrauded. I worked desperately for my daughter, paying off my debt. She did not live long and died from overwork.”
Sebancia’s expression, possessed by Lark, distorted as if in sorrow.
He gave his wife and daughter a considerable amount of valuables, but they did not have the strength to protect them.
“My daughter. … What happened to Cecil?”
“Fortunately, her story has a happy ending. Although she had a rough childhood, she became a wizard and became the greatest adventurer of her time.” ”
How can you believe me…?”
“I read her diary. “You can tell whether this is false or true, right?”
“……Who are you? How do you know me and my power?”
“It’s just… I’ve experienced more things than others.”
I couldn’t say that I read it as a game story, so I expressed it vaguely.
“What do you want? Is it that book?”
Sevancia pointed to the red one of the two Grimoires. That is the Grimoire in which Sevancia was sealed. “Of course I’ll
take that with me… What I want is your cup.”
“Wreckage?”
“Because I have many difficult battles ahead. I need your soul dust to make a ‘window’. So, I hope you achieve Buddhahood quietly.”
He spoke of the powder that is left behind when a demon spirit disappears. This dust became a material for making weapons and equipment, and the more powerful the demon spirit, the greater the value of the dust it drops. To make a legendary grade or higher
item, you need to use the highest grade dust. Soul Dust is essential.
“……Did you even know my grudges?”
The ultimate goal of this quest is the sacred fire of the powerful vampire Sevancia Duke.
However, this involves not just resolving his grudges, but also another There was a condition:
“But you are too weak. Neither the body, nor the Aura, nor the magical powers, nor anything else. A weak person like you will not be able to handle this power.”
“Oh….”
You hit me with the facts.
Is this how the quest prerequisite level works? This is a fact that Park Si-hoo received and did not know about.
” I will become stronger in the future.”
“Anyone can say something with their mouth.” It is worth seeing
. I took off my shirt and revealed the precepts engraved on my body.
“You can read them, right? “I know it was a common letter 800 years ago.”
Runes are magic that became less effective as magic developed and became a dead language. 800 years ago, there was no system like today, so it would have been alive and well. Sebancia is also a
rune letter engraved on my body. After reading, he immediately looked at me with a serious expression.
“… Precepts. This is the power used by the great warriors of Shadow Paradise. To include such crazy content… What are you really doing?”
“Do you believe me now?”
“The Philbu has a long-awaited dream. “Is the world going to fall into danger in the near future?”
“Absolutely.”
“Then I have no choice but to become stronger. This is such a contract. Since it is related to the fate of the world, receiving the world’s backup… can you handle it?”
“You can handle it and sleep, but if you don’t do it anyway, you’ll all die. Then you should go all in.”
Sebancia seemed to like my answer, chuckling and pointing at Grimoire.
“Read. That will be a small help in achieving your long-awaited dream.”
Without hesitation, I walked over and read Grimoire, in which Sebancia was sealed. I
stroked the luxurious leather with the blank title section and turned the pages.
Reading Grimoire. This is not the first time. Park Si-hoo has often given me books obtained through quests.
I fell in love with the contents of the luxurious handwriting, probably compiled by Sebancia.
『In this world, the special abilities represented by characteristic magic are innate and acquired. It is divided into sections.』
It is easy to read. Some Grimoires had bad handwriting and had poor readability, so there were many that were unreadable, but it looks like he wrote a lot during his lifetime. 『I saw a warrior dying. He was in the middle of a bloody battlefield, with his intestines
. I was standing there with my body tied to a rock.
I asked him,
“Warrior, shall I cut off your head?”
He answered,
“I would be grateful if you could give me some water to quench my thirst.”
Out of respect for the strong warrior, I scooped up water from a nearby lake with both hands. He quenched his thirst. Then something surprising happened.
His flesh grew.
…………Omitted……………………….』
Why like this? Hardcore. What? Standing with your body tied up with your intestines? It’s like Admiral Yi Sun-sin is going to go away.
『………Omitted….So I’m imitating his secret words. I am writing this in this book.』
After reading the entire book, I felt a change in my body as well. It was a strange feeling, like my internal organs were procrastinating.
“That’s it.”
The ‘trait’ that can be acquired with this Grimoire is [Persistent Warrior] ‘s regeneration].
“As long as you maintain your great will, just as the warrior did not lose his fighting spirit… your body will eventually recover.” ”
Would you mind explaining it properly instead of vaguely? Are you saying that if you faint, you won’t be able to recover?”
“……As long as your vitality remains, recovery will be maintained. Not only has his vitality increased compared to others.”
“Wow.”
In the previous episode, the person who acquired [Regeneration of a Persistent Warrior] was Park Si-hoo, and he must have been seriously injured.
Since he received Sebancia’s confirmation, this ability is more effective. You will be able to use it.
“Hehe, I read it well.”
“Hmm… You don’t read that? I didn’t write it, but it wouldn’t hurt to read it.”
Sebancia’s gaze turned to the remaining Grimoire.
There must have been a permanent spell called [Soul Warrior] written on that Grimoire. Park Si-hoo often worked and used it as a body bread. I used it.
“I don’t have any talent for magic.”
It’s a permanent spell, so I don’t even recognize it. Even in this life, I gave up the path of magic.
Because I didn’t have the talent to intuit how to calculate formalized magic.
Like rune magic, the letters themselves are I don’t know if it works through magic, but I can’t use regular magic at all.
One day, I asked Park Si-hoo how to use magic, and he said that all you need to do is be good at math.
The last time I studied math was in my first year of high school, and my nickname was Yanggajip Gyusu. My report card is from Suumiyangga. I have no choice but to go with the sheep.
“Hmm… Even in this era, Grimoire must be valuable, right? It would be helpful if you take it and sell it.”
“That’s up to your friend. I decided to give it to you.”
“Is it because of the contract that was tied to this kid?”
“That’s right.”
As he was once called a hero, he must have noticed the contract magic between me and Lark.
“That’s right. Mr. Sevancia. “I have one question to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“It’s a vampire’s vampiric impulse. Can you bear it? For example, eating only the blood of animals…”
“No, that’s impossible. That impulse… I don’t want to remember it, but it didn’t seem like it was me. It can truly be said to be eccentric.”
“…I see.”
“A vampire’s blood-sucking is not simply the act of filling their stomach with blood. That in itself is a magical act. Both the power of blood and the power are awakened by absorbing human blood.”
Sebancia thought for a moment and brought up one possibility.
“If there is someone who can do it, it is probably not someone with ordinary talent.” ”
Okay. And just a few more…”
Our Q&A ended after I asked Duke Sebancia a few more questions. I was about to end it, but Sebancia asked me a question instead.
“…The southern part of the country. “Does my last name still remain?”
“Huh? Are there any left?”
“If you have to go there, take a good look at my office. I don’t know if there are still any left.”
“Huh? What’s there?”
You couldn’t find anything in the last episode?
“You should look for it yourself. Rune magician. I hope you have the same skills and bravery as that warrior.”
“I don’t want to tie myself up with my intestines…”
“If you have that much bravery, you can’t do anything. Well… it looks like you already have it.”
“Overestimated?”
“It’s an evaluation as is. Didn’t a man who was neither a hero nor a wise man swear to save the world?”
“…There was just no choice.”
If the country doesn’t do it, the world
will be ruined. “No, there’s always the option of running away. But you did not choose to run away. I will respect you.”
“…….”
“Thank you for the last time. “Tell me the news about my wife and daughter.”
With those words, Lark’s body collapsed. I thought he would fall and break his nose, so I held him down, but golden dust was piled up on the floor of the library. If you didn’t know it, you would have mistaken it for gold dust. It was an epic grade
. Soul Dust.
I left the Lark on the floor and moved the dust into the cloth bag I brought with me. It
‘s easy to mistake it for being powder, but dust attracts like dust together, so even if you hold it just a little, the rest of the powder follows in neatly. It’s only when you reach
level 50 that you get to the main level . It’s like getting the first special material from the scenario at the beginning.
“Ugh…”
“Are you awake?”
“My head… feels like it’s going to explode.”
“I was possessed by a demon just a moment ago.”
“I think your jaw hurts too?”
“I guess it’s because of my mood.”
He quickly handed Grimoire to Lark, who was holding his slightly swollen chin.
“Is this Grimoire?”
“Huh. Read it quickly. I have to go out.”
Lark grabbed Grimoire with trembling hands.
“Really… can I read it?”
“What are you talking about? That was the contract.”
“That’s true, but…”
Wasn’t the contract too advantageous to him in the first place? Lark seemed to want to ask.
“Sometimes, it’s okay for someone who works hard to be rewarded. ”
“…….”
After a while, we left the library. Lark was impressed by the fact that he had obtained the lieutenant magic that he had not been able to obtain even after working so hard. “Thank you
! I will not forget! thank you so much! I’m serious!”
“Oh?”
It’s not my fault that he met a miserable end in the previous episode. Still… I felt like a strange sense of debt had been resolved. I fed him a spoonful, so from the second time on, it was okay
. It’s up to you. I just hope that in this life, the boy doesn’t despair and fall into self-loathing.
-Pajik! Pajijik!
“Uhm…!”
That was then. The sentence of the precepts engraved on my body became hot. Ugh… It feels as if it has been destroyed by fire.
“I succeeded.”
The duty of the precepts. It seems that I have succeeded in not ignoring misfortune. I checked the system message that came for the first time in a while.
[Execution of Duty – Duke of Sevancia]
※ Difficulty: B
※ Reward : 80 points evenly distributed Something
came up, but what do I know about 80 points evenly distributed? Can you explain it kindly?
“……Stat window.”
[You do not have permission to view.]
Isitpal! The real thing!
” Hu….”
However, I can’t tell because of the mana system window, but that probably refers to the character’s status points.
[The Legend of Arhan Heroes] divides the player’s status into strength, agility, aura, magical power, etc. To
foster Depending on the skill tree you are using, the national rule was to score 3 1 1.
‘You can’t even score stat points…’
The most efficient training method is to all-in the 5 points given each time you level up to the necessary stats… . Huh? 5 points?
“You got 80 points?”
80 points are points that can be obtained by leveling up to 16 in the game.
Since I didn’t receive any level up notification, the quest reward is just 80 points.
No matter how Sebancia Even if the Duke Quest’s difficulty is level B, it doesn’t give you a huge amount of experience enough to level up to 16. -Gulp
!
Even though there is a penalty of equal distribution, this… Maybe there’s no limit?
The effect of system correction and precepts created it. Is it synergy?
In return for doing a good deed, I received epic grade soul dust and characteristics… and a large amount of status increase.
“Hehe… Daeba… Huh?!”
What am I saying? That disgusting guy. I almost imitated his speaking habits!
‘That’s terrible.’
I am different from that psycho. Let’s make sure we don’t copy this guy’s habits. It makes me feel bad.
