I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 155
The Man Who Plays the Waves, Corin Locke (2)
God King Dagda has many treasures, but the most powerful treasures are narrowed down to three.
The first is the magical cauldron Undri. It is a treasure symbolizing that he is a god-king and proof of his divine status on the earth.
The second is a magic club with eight protrusions. It is a magic club that split the head of Kirv, the great warrior of the giants, and boasts the strongest attack power among the weapons that can be equipped in [The Legend of Arhan Heroes].
Finally, the third. A magical half-ward made from oak and the liver of the cat king.
You can tell from the fact that it is a harp, but the power of the wadne is demonstrated while ‘playing the harp’. That is, by genre of music.
Of course, there is a condition that the quality of the performance must be above a certain level, but in the previous performance, I borrowed a harp from Estelle and successfully performed two performances.
Metal and rock music.
It’s a remnant of the youth I learned while playing in a band with sweaty boys in college.
“Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!
Change the song selection. More exciting this time! London Calling! Let’s go!
“London calling~! to the faraway cities──”
War was declared and the battle began!
The sky, the sea, and the Thames respond to me!
It’s a ward.
Genre – Rock Music.
The effect is a natural disaster.
The repetition of exciting power chords makes the whole world dance with My Music!
Thunder falls from the sky and the sea roars with whirlwinds and waves!
“Aaaah! Just saw a shark! I saw a shark in the tornado!”
“Sharknadooooooo!! Cuckin’ assassinaaaaaam!”
“What are you talking about, you crazy guy!”
“I don’t mind if the Thames is submerged! I just need to live by the river!”
“Aaaahhh! Stop! Stop it!”
“This is inhumane music!!”
“Selrup! Cherry Boy! The engine has already stopped! But live without fear!”
Can you see it? The response from all these audiences.
The audience screaming and cheering for My Music?
“……Noisy.”
Tsk.
Why does everyone not know the greatness of this genre? And London Calling isn’t that noisy, right?
Actually, even when I did B-boying at the royal ball, everyone looked like they didn’t understand. Still, I screamed during the moonwalk.
Ah, I miss you. The one who walks on the moon. A person who imposes his own justice on heaven.
wait?
Cheonma Eclec Jackson.
I am his only successor in this world.
This means that he is the one and only being who can exercise the power of the Heavenly Demon that walks backwards even on the moon.
blast furnace.
I am.
Every thousand.
Even if metal, rock and roll, and b-boying are not accepted in this world.
My music forces the sky and makes the sea tremble.
But how can I not be the Heavenly Demon?
Heavenly Demon──
“I am Kim Corin, the Heavenly Demon!”
──Reigning authority.
【MOONWALK】
“Uh huh?”
“Who bought it?”
“Walking backwards?”
“Corrin is walking backwards playing the harp?!”
-Quaaaaa!
-Quarring! Crumbling!
A moment of wonder. The sky is shocked, the sea is terrified, and the wind is turbulent.
-Save everyone!
-My stomach flipped over!!
Rest assured, mercenaries.
The Heavenly Demon’s Astronomical Walk is not intended to harm people.
No one who hears the sound of Cheonwadne will be harmed.
* * * *
“Damn magic tower bastards! Who would have thought they would use great magic to manipulate nature!”
Kingdom Army Headquarters. Commander Bennett criticized the strategic map for the failure of the advance team.
It was an amphibious landing involving as many as fifty ships. Even if it wasn’t a full-strength force, they probably didn’t expect that they would have to retreat without even being able to approach the coast.
“…….”
“…….”
In addition, the guardians and mercenary commanders who were called to the kingdom’s military headquarters were all in a gloomy mood.
Most of the people here were the leaders of the Guardians or mercenary leaders, and I was also here as the leader of the Corrin Guardians.
“What damage!”
“Thirteen of the four ships were sunk and twenty-one were seriously damaged. The keels were damaged and beyond repair.”
“Damn it… Even the mercenaries were killed in droves.”
“That…”
“What?”
“Not one person died. There were minor injuries, such as colds and scratches on the broken ship.”
“What nonsense is that!”
Half of the fleet was destroyed, but no one died. of course.
Music is an art that is not meant to kill people but to save them. Killing people with music? This Heavenly Demon Kim Korin will not allow it.
“From what I heard, they were surrounded by a shocking music sound they had never heard before…” “
???”
Commander Bennett’s expression became even more strangely distorted.
He tried to say something, but a beautiful voice, like a jade ball rolling, echoed throughout the audience.
“Well, that’s not the point, right?”
“……Chairman Danua.”
Everyone’s attention is focused on Master Erin, who participated in the punitive force at the strong recommendation of each Guardian Association branch.
“Waves like that aren’t natural. It must be said that the Magic Tower can utilize the sky and the sea.”
“But you can’t give up.”
“Of course, I’m not saying we should give up. There is a better way.”
“Good way?”
“If it’s a great magic that causes waves and thunder, there’s probably a corresponding magic circle hidden in a strategic location. All you have to do is destroy it. Right, Clara?”
Master Erin naturally looked at Lady Josephine behind me. She nodded with a perplexed expression.
“That’s right. I’ve seen similar magic in the past during the Witch Revolution.”
“Hmm… if the space witch says so.”
“As expected, there’s no explanation if it’s not like that.”
Master Erin is ostensibly the new chairman, but even so, Lady Josephine is a great person left in history.
Together with Balthazar, he led the witch revolution, helped establish the New Church, and destroyed the Magic Tower’s monopoly on magic. Of course…
you know this is all a lie, right?
There is a reason why I disrupted the advance team by putting on a show like this.
To prevent mass casualties from intercepting the Magic Tower.
In both Jeongsa and previous episodes, this landing operation is successful only after significant damage.
It does not end with conquering each of the small islands that make up the archipelago and landing on the main island.
The Tower of Magic, which had been overthrown once by Lady Josephine and Tates Balthazar… and religious revolutionaries 80 years ago, thoroughly fortified the Iron Islands for 80 years.
They spread evil spirits and chimera monsters all over the place and turned it into a demon cave that cannot be invaded.
Plus, since Estelle was kidnapped, giants will also appear in the story.
Too many people die. I experienced that in the previous episode.
Estelle, there’s nothing to worry about for the time being, so the priority is to save people who don’t need to die.
“I have a clever idea.”
“Um… what is it? Chairman Danua.”
“Destruction of the magic circle by a small number of people.”
“Is that… possible?”
“It is possible. As long as we have the talent that Clara and I recommended.”
Master began to mention the participants of the operation one by one.
“Marie Dunareff. Holland. Corin Locke. And me, Erin Danois and Josephine Clara. Five people are enough.”
But the more they listened, the more the commander and everyone else’s expressions began to distort.
“Only… five people? Aren’t three of them students?”
“It’s not just five.”
“There are many talented people here, including Aden’s Runia Aden Swordsman! But how can we get students with unproven experience and skills…!”
“I agree with Chairman Danua’s opinion.”
“Lunia Sword Leg Pillar?”
There was also Runia, who was not a member of the Korin Guardians but was officially dispatched from Aden as a Swordmaster and brought 50 knights and 300 disciples.
She actively agrees with Master Erin’s opinion.
“I guarantee the skills of the students named. Above all, there will be few people as suitable for this operation as they are.”
“What does that mean?”
“In the case of the Marie student, although it is unofficial, she is definitely a special vampire. The same goes for the Dutch student. Do you know what the characteristics of a special demon are?”
Commander Bennett sighed at those words. Because the population is so small, special demons have abilities that are no different from passive ones.
“Demon spirit. To put it simply, it has the same ability as a dragon’s peer. If you see a special demon, whether a monster or a demon spirit, in front of you, it gets scared and runs away.”
This means that most of the power can ignore the Chimera and Demon Tower side, which are synthesized monsters.
“It is a matter before strength. Chairman Danua’s opinion is sound.”
“Keuung……”
In the original version, this was impossible in the previous episode.
Although the player became the hero of the kingdom after the ‘annihilation of the demon village’, he did not have enough influence to participate in such a large-scale military operation.
But it’s different now. Master Erin, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Guardian Academy, and Runia, the Blademaster of Aden and the next leader candidate, will convey my opinion on my behalf.
Because there are two people who can exert enough influence, this episode will go according to my opinion, unlike before.
“Then… let’s try Chairman Danua’s suggestion.”
Disbanded after the strategy meeting. I made eye contact with Master Erin, who was still coordinating the detailed operation next to Commander Bennett.
‘Corin! Corinne! Our disciple! ‘Here here!’
The dignity that came with taking control of a strategy meeting has disappeared, and when the teacher sees me, his stern expression softens.
‘Did I do well?’
Was Master… a person whose expressions could be read this well?
* * * *
“Student Corinne.”
As we were preparing to carry out the operation, Madame Josephine, the key person in this operation, came to visit me.
“What’s going on?”
“We are preparing to jump into space as you wish… but you know the difficulties of this operation, right?”
“of course.”
Josephine sighs and brings a piece of paper with the details of the strategy written on it.
“Let’s summarize briefly first.”
Permanent senior professor at Merkava Academy. Although hidden by that title, she is a veteran who led the revolution and war 80 years ago.
Actually, I came up with the idea for this operation and Master Erin and Lady Josephine wrote it.
“We will move to the Steel Islands at once through space leap. It is a problem from the beginning. For the past 80 years, the Magic Tower has been spreading barriers across the island to prepare for me by separating space magic.”
Yes, it goes awry from the start. Madame Joséphine’s spatial leap will fail.
80 years ago, he had a history of destroying Balthazar and Master Erin with his infinite space leap and destroying the Iron Islands.
Yes, it goes awry from the start. Madame Joséphine’s spatial leap will fail.
80 years ago, he had a history of destroying Balthazar and Master Erin with his infinite space leap and destroying the Iron Islands.
An unreasonable war caused by just one superhuman archmage. The magic tower was fed up with Lady Josephine’s space magic.
“The space jump that caused the gap will randomly drop jumpers in various parts of the archipelago. And that place is probably…”
“It’s probably a demon cave full of evil spirits and chimeras.”
“Other people are fine. But I’m worried about you.”
A participant in this operation. I am probably the weakest one. In fact, in the operation outline written by Josephine, there was a question mark written over the name ‘Corin Locke’. As the Third
Commandment does not activate, I am significantly more physical than the others. Because it fell.
“I said it’s okay.” It’ll work out somehow.”
“Somehow…”
I continued, scratching the question mark Joséphine had written with a pen.
“We’ll be ‘shipwrecked’ in various parts of the archipelago. And this will lead to fatal consequences for them. Because we have the ‘Curse Potatoes’ manufactured by Marie-senior.”
“Hmm… The ‘Macha’s Curse’ that Danan Angus said was a gift. Surely, if successful, it will bring tremendous results…”
‘Mach’s Curse’.
It is a terrible curse that causes men in the ‘invaded’ area to suffer labor pains for 9 days.
To achieve this, the cursed crop ‘Cree’ must be grown. A crop that will serve as the ‘seed of Niuk’ must be planted in the ground, and this seed must sprout.
After planting the seed potatoes, it takes about 15 to 20 days for them to sprout.
“We plant the seeds of Kriniuk in various parts of the archipelago. Gather on your own through the secret passage of the Magic Tower. After rescuing the saint, we move through space using Lady Josephine’s ‘marker’.” ”
With our abilities, it’s not impossible…”
Lady Josephine’s space movement is only interrupted when she leaps to the archipelago. This is the story of .
Jumping from the archipelago to Lady Josephine’s ‘marker’ is unhindered because there are clear coordinates.
“Ha~ But you know, right? This final moment of escape. If everyone doesn’t get together properly…”
“Those left behind will have to survive on their own. But it’s an operation worth taking.”
The unsettling factor of this operation. Will everyone be able to be together when Josephine leaps to the marker after rescuing Estelle?
“Students Holland and Marie will not have any particular problems. Same goes for Erin. You know what I’m talking about, right?
The biggest problem and loophole in this operation is that there is definitely only one person, me. But my answer is the same.
“I have no intention of putting my colleagues at risk and staying behind.”
“Ha… of course. Because you are that kind of man.”
Preparations for the operation went smoothly and we gathered together for the space leap the next day.
………
……
…
Marie Dunareff.
Hwaran.
Erin Danua.
Josephine Clara.
Corin Locke.
Five people like this.
On the surface, the true purpose of the Magic Circle Destruction Team is to be a special force tasked with rescuing a saint and sowing the seeds of a curse.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes, Corrin.”
“Are you really going to take that?”
Hwaran’s gaze is directed to my back. What I carry is not only the military commander, but also the silver and red spears of Shadow Paradise Ge Derg. On top of that, they were carrying a large half ward.
“It’s heavy, but don’t worry. It will come from anywhere when I call it, so just throw it away and go.”
“……”
Hwaran’s expression is strange. It looks like something is missing…
“What do you want to listen to my music? The music of this Heavenly Demon, Corin Kim?”
“I don’t even want to listen to that loud music.”
“It’s too much.”
“…….”
Josephine began to carve a magic circle to leap. Soon we’ll be all over the Iron Islands.
“30 seconds left.”
Less than 30 seconds left before the leap begins. Hwaran grabbed the hem of my shirt.
“Don’t get hurt.”
“uh?”
“If you get hurt… Ma… Ma…”
“Ma?”
“10 seconds before the jump! Everyone, get ready!”
Slowly, cracks begin to appear in the space from the bottom. Evidence that we are on the verge of a long leap through imaginary space.
“Maa…”
Still, Hwaran’s mouth shows no signs of dropping.
“Korin! See you at the Magic Tower!”
“Yes, senior Marie. Please be careful with Deokgu, too.”
“huh!”
8 7….
“Corin.”
“Yes?”
Hwaran seemed to have finally come to her senses and opened her mouth.
“If you get hurt──”
3 2…
“I think I’ll be sad. So, be safe──”
“We’ll meet safely, so don’t worry! Thank you for your concern!”
“…!”
Hwaran blushed furiously. She tried to say something, but soon the space beneath us opened completely and she fell into imaginary space.
…………
………
……
It’s a forest.
A land full of warmth, like a large greenhouse, with lush vegetation and a preserved ecosystem.
The Iron Islands, influenced by the North Kingdom, a cursed land of perpetual cold, are extreme lands where crops do not grow in most of the region.
The fact that such an ecosystem has survived in a place like this…
“Bingo.”
I thought something would happen no matter where I landed, but I never thought there was a one in five chance that I would end up here.
[Forbidden Forest]
A huge artificially created ‘greenhouse’ where wizards of the Magic Tower grow and experiment with magical creatures and crops.
It is a forbidden forest managed by the Green School of Magic, one of the seven schools of the Magic Tower.
There were powerful magical crops and hidden pieces hidden here and there, but the player had to spend a long time clearing them.
This is because it is a demon cave teeming with tens of thousands of artificial spirits and forest spirits created by the Green Magic School.
Because of its terrible density, it is one of the most difficult stages in [The Legend of Arhan Heroes], which is pushed out step by step in the form of a side quest only after successful subjugation.
The worst stage that cannot be easily pushed by a party of players who have reached max level.
But what?
『I do not recognize spirits.』
