I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 156
The Man Playing the Waves, Corin Locke (3)
Here is a fairy named Baban Si.
A spirit body with a beautiful appearance and an alluring white dress that seduces men and kills them by sucking their blood.
Any man who witnesses Bhavan poetry will be deluded. Yes, just look.
“Lululu~”
‘…Why are you ignoring me!’
No matter how much he tempted the intruder who invaded the forest by waving the hem of his skirt, the man did not waver at all.
The old demon spirit, who had been wandering this world for hundreds of years, had never seen a man who was not at all shaken by his fascination.
How dare you ignore yourself like this, the so-called White Queen!
‘Huh? Are you really going? Are you really going? Are you just going to go?’
Even if you stop him with a plaintive voice, his voice won’t reach you.
How can you ignore your own demonic voice? There is no man who would not be dazzled by this voice!
The queen’s pride for hundreds of years was tragically destroyed. I was astonished that a man with such strong mental power could exist.
‘joy! Ignoring my temptations was a big mistake. It was an opportunity to die before experiencing the ultimate pleasure!’
Babansi continued to follow the man in his strange temptations, while also keeping an eye on the spirit figure in the direction he was going.
‘Hehehehe…!’
In the man’s direction, there was a ‘banshee’ in the form of a gloomy old woman.
A woman lets out a mournful cry. She recognized the man and suppressed her voice.
‘what? Even if you see a banshee, you don’t avoid it?’
If you continue like this, you will die instantly. Babansi seduced the man with the intention of killing him, but when he saw the man acting so irrationally, he tilted his head.
In the end, in front of the man who foolishly approached the banshee… the ‘banshee’s wail’ rang out.
‘Kiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Those who hear the banshee’s wail will die.
A scream so terrible that even Baban, the spirit body, frowned.
An instant death technique that will kill you if you have no resistance or anti-magic power. The man seems to have quite strong mental and physical strength, but since he was exposed to the banshee’s wailing right in front of him──
“Shall we go to Jongno~ Shall we go to Myeongdong~”
‘Kii?’
too. I’m fine.
There are stories of people surviving even after hearing the wailing of a banshee, but they still end up bursting their eardrums or shedding bloody tears… and at the very least, even the spirits frown.
The banshee made a dumbfounded expression when he saw the man humming without notice even after hearing his own wailing.
‘What is this guy?’
‘I don’t know either.’
It’s not just banshees. The spirits of the Forbidden Forest came from all directions upon hearing the banshee’s wailing.
‘Newbie is here!’
‘mine! It’s mine!’
‘Hehehe! ‘It smells like fresh forest green!’
‘Newbie, let’s go!’
Spirits of the Forbidden Forest.
They were originally free, wandering souls, but were forced by magicians to become forest keepers and were starving for stimulation for a long time.
Torturing and tearing at intruders is the joy of their lives. Other than the fearless thieves who occasionally come to steal the treasures of the Magic Tower, there is no one to enjoy!
This is the reality of the worst command field [Forbidden Forest]. This was why when a battle broke out in one place, the spirits of the entire forest flocked to it. And……
‘What is it? ‘What is it?’
‘What is this guy?’
One man… There are already 4,000 spirits that have come against Corin Locke, who has entered the forbidden forest alone.
Each of them showed off their spiritual power and hacked Corin Locke to pieces.
Banshee’s wailing, Bavanshi’s charm, etc. are all full of special moves that make you think even the dragon will fall for it at this point.
‘???’
‘???’
However, as attacks increase, the terrain turns upside down and the forest screams… Corin does not even receive any damage.
“I do not recognize spirits.”
Corin Locke’s second precept This precept of pursuing a longing for the world and binding oneself is a bit of a play on words that allows you to pass through half of the world’s demons with a free pass. will be.
‘Huh? ‘Where?’
And here. There are spiritual herbs that the wizards of the Magic Tower have sown for their experiments.
The Magic Tower is where the most magical experiments and magical advancements in the world take place.
However, this requires endless experiments and the materials needed for those experiments.
Therefore, the magicians of the Magic Tower sowed seeds in the magic caves of the evil spirits who had been working for a long time for experiments.
Representative examples include mandragora, magical acorns from the spring of recovery, and ‘Korean ginseng’, a perennial ginseng grown by airlift from the far East.
This place is a treasure trove of all the spiritual plants in the world.
However, the growth of magical plants is slow and takes a long time.
All kinds of spirit plants, ranging from as short as several years to as long as hundreds of years old, were sleeping here.
In particular, ‘Goryeo ginseng’, which has been scooped up from the East with its entire soil, is guarded by a special demon called the Four Spirits.
A treasure of the Magic Tower that has been guarded with such strictness and care. These spirits have a value that cannot be converted into money…
“From now on, I will give it all away.”
It all ended up being robbed by one thief.
* * * *
Bonanza! I found a bonanza…!
The [Forbidden Forest] of the Iron Islands was a place that could only be described as a true gold mine.
These are precious spirit plants that wizards have raised with great care.
In [The Legend of Arhan Heroes], the spirit plants that had no choice but to dig up root by root to avoid the endless influx of rampaging spirits were being plucked out by my hands.
“Ignore Mandragora… no, this one? Azlite carbonated water! Let’s drink it quickly~”
-Chuupchuup! Whoop! Salty!
[You have consumed Azrite carbonated water.]
– Your Auror rating increases.
– The horsepower rating increases.
– Maximum aura amount increases by 2000.
– Maximum horsepower increases by 1500.
[You have consumed Jade Peak’s honey.]
– Resistance to poison increases.
[You have consumed a swallow’s nest.]
– It is an artificial swallow’s nest. The effect is halved.
– Acquire [Swallow Sense].
【Swallow’s Sense】
– It feels the wind through its skin and is sensitive to crisis detection.
Some of the spiritual herbs were consumed on the spot and stacked in the bundles brought with them wherever they were found.
Although the elixirs here are enormous, we cannot consume them all. If you ingest too many elixirs without taking precautions, your body will not be able to store them.
I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with Azlite sparkling water for now. This alone was comparable to Hidden Piece, so
I thought, ‘Let’s see. If I add what I got this time to the last status check…’
Auror – { High (13130) }
Magic – { High (11920) }
Paranormal Ability – { Tenacious Warrior’s Regeneration Pain Resistance Area Understanding Triple Core Demonic Energy Release Superpower Rune Amplification Swallow’s Sense}
Strength: 233
Agility: 165
Stamina: 160
Aura: 174 Magic
Power: 174
“Huh… I guess it was roughly this much. If I do this, I’ll be at least Runia with just the specs.”
In particular, her magical power increases tremendously by equipping Argetlam, making her even better than Marie, who was said to have been blessed with mana before becoming a vampire.
Of course, when Hwaran, the king of knighthood, is released from his restraints, he boasts an aura amount of 100,000 units, and considering that Marie, who became a vampire, had a special magical power level of close to 70,000, it seems that there is still a long way to go.
Those two are raid bosses in the first place! That’s a lot for one player!
Above all, this is not the end. The best elixir that can be obtained from the repetitive farming field [Forbidden Forest].
An item of extreme difficulty to obtain, which can be obtained with a 1.5% chance by defeating the Demon King, was now taking root in front of me.
There may be a special demon king around, but he is a special demon and is useless in front of me.
No spirit can interfere with me unless I am aware of it.
“Huh… am I shaking right now?”
My heart is shaking. I was planning on coming to get it someday, but I didn’t think I would go until my third year.
Dig the dirt pile little by little. Carefully… gently. The bright red fruits are swaying gently, enticing me.
This is a shame! It is truly a despicable monster that tempts people!
“Hehehe…….”
Little by little.
Just like treating a baby’s skin.
Dirt getting between your fingernails is not a major problem!
“Oh oh oh oh…!”
A bright appearance that finally revealed itself. A radiance that cannot be hidden even in a pile of dirt welcomes me.
This is
this spirit herb…!
The legendary spirit plant that Elder Drerian, the leader of the Green Sect, brought in from the East by investing 10 years of the school’s budget!
It is an item that has been nurtured with care and amplified by all kinds of magical nutrients and herbs.
【Korean wild ginseng】
One of the three elixirs of [Arhan Heroic Legend], on par with the fruit of the Golden Mandragora World Tree.
It was a hidden piece that could be obtained in the Forbidden Forest.
‘Take care of the essentials.’
Place the Korean wild ginseng in the storage container you prepared in advance and place it in the bag. I’ll have to ask Marie to brew it as a decoction later.
Instead, I planted potato seeds I received from Marie in the place where I dug out the grass and covered it with soil.
The Forbidden Forest is a place where the wizards of the Magic Tower provide the best environment and magical nutrients to grow spirit plants.
‘Kriniuk Seeds’ will definitely grow well here.
After spending two days farming and planting seeds repeatedly, the bundle I brought swelled like Santa Claus’ gift bag.
Since I couldn’t go to the magic tower with this, I ‘hanged it in the ward’ and hid it in a suitable place.
“Now it’s time to get to work.”
The promised time. After finishing the sweet farming, I headed to the Magic Tower.
* * * *
There are four themed fields in the Steel Islands.
The first is the forbidden forest on the west side of the main island. A repetitive farming field where wizards have scattered tens of thousands of spirits to protect magic potion ingredients.
There is also a port that transports supplies to the south of the island, and there are iron ore and magic stone mines, so many chimeras and wizards reside there.
And the ‘frozen land’ encompassing the east and north of the island. A place where the bodies of the giants who were defeated in the distant ancient war between Danan and the giants remain.
This is the place where the resurrection of giants begins.
Lastly, the underground sewer of the Magic Tower. This is the place where all the sewage and filth treated at the magic tower flows and pours into the sea.
“Whoa…”
The muddy floor sticks to the soles of my shoes.
The stale air tickled my nose, and the stench gnawed at my nerves whenever I breathed.
“Other sewers are similar, but this one is particularly bad.”
This is why the waters near the Steel Islands are polluted waters where fish cannot live.
Those Magic Tower guys carry out all kinds of experiments and carelessly throw the waste into the sewer.
Come to think of it, the ‘sewer monster’ created by environmental pollution appears in the side quest of the Demon Tower subjugation chapter…
-Food Duck!
“hmm…!”
I quickly raised my red crab derg and headed towards the direction from which the sound came.
The sound just now was close to the sound of a bird’s wings flapping. A bird in a place like this? Are there any bats?
『ᛞ』──Dagaraz As I
inscribed the rune that brightened my vision in the darkness, I could clearly see the sewer without a single ray of light.
This is definitely one of the fields where monsters appear. I’m planning to avoid battle as much as possible, but…
-Gloosh!
At that moment, something shaking in the sewer waterway caught my eye. It would be nice if it was a normal male turtle, but that size…!
“Kiiiiii…!”
A monster that jumps up and creates small waves.
“Tch…!”
Step on the muddy sewer floor and jump backwards to avoid it. bang! And its head smashed into the sewer wall, but there didn’t seem to be any significant damage.
I stare at the guy who attacked. The eyes were covered with degenerated gunkin, and the mouth was split into dozens of layers, giving the appearance of something out of a zombie game.
“Oh… If I do this, I’m going to go out completely.”
Field Boss: A monster from the underground sewer.
A sad beast created by the environmental pollution of the Magic Tower.
Originally, it is a level 1 monster that should be attacked through party raids.
‘If we take our time, we’ll attract the wizards’ attention. ‘It’s a quick fix.’
As I concentrated my magical power, a shiny silver arm… Argetlam was formed on my left arm. I can’t handle it properly yet, but if it’s the compressed power of the sun…
“Kyuu?”
It was then. The guy who was opening his mouth as if he was going to chew me up at any moment made a sound that was embarrassing enough to be cute.
-Turn it off?!
The guy was dragged as if caught by something. My undergrown feet desperately scratched the floor, but the difference in strength was overwhelming.
“Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?!”
Soon the guy was lifted by his tail──
-Boom! Boom!
-Boom! Gurgling! Quang!
People are thrown all over the sewer and their screams are drowned out by the sound of the collapsing sewer.
It was truly one-sided violence.
“……”
As far as I know, there is only one being capable of such unreasonable violence.
A girl in a nun’s uniform slowly walks from the sewer, hidden from view by the monster’s large body.
Hwaran was holding the tail of the field boss ‘what was’.
“Bake this for me.”
“That’s Jiji, Jiji. Throw it away.”
…………
………
……
If you go up the underground sewer of the Magic Tower, there is an old management office.
For a sewer system of this gigantic facility, the old and unmaintained rooms built by distant ancestors served as good hiding places for the players.
By the way, the Magic Tower guys don’t even bother to manage the sewers, so they don’t even approach the sewers.
At best, is it just releasing chimeras and evil spirits?
This is why guys who only pursue intelligence can’t do it. In this world, there are jobs that have to be done, even if they are a little dirty and difficult.
“Let’s stay here for a while until the others arrive.”
I gently put my backpack down in the management room full of moldy dust. I don’t know when Marie, Erin, and Lady Josephine will come, so I’ll have to do at least some cleaning.
“But when did you arrive? I also came very quickly.”
The expected joining date was two days later. I had a free pass thanks to the rule of not recognizing spirits, but other people had to go through the spirits and monsters to get there.
Of course, thanks to Marie and Hwaran’s special magic characteristics, half-baked guys will run away, but this is still too fast.
“It turned into a crow… no, it just… ran.”
“Uh… you didn’t get caught, right?”
“I wasn’t caught.”
At Hwaran’s speed, it would certainly not take a few hours to cover the island…
Suddenly, as I was preparing to pack up my luggage and clean up the dust, Hwaran approached me with great strides.
“Are you… hurt?”
“Huh? Not really?”
“huh.”
And then it spun around. While muttering about something.
“Transforming into a cat… get caught? … then into a wolf?”
It looks like he’s having a conversation with Ran. Okay, now that I think about it, if it’s cleaning, it would be okay to do it with Ran.
“Hwa, come back to work for a moment.”
“Huh? Me?”
“Okay, okay. I have a favor to ask you.”
At those words, Hwaran becomes noticeably brighter and jumps up. Since when did he start listening to me so well? This is all the result of open-minded communication, right?
“Why? What is it?”
“Can you trade with Ran?”
“………why?”
An episode where tension suddenly drops. He used to be blunt, but now his expression has calmed down noticeably.
“I’m going to ask Ran to do some cleaning with me.”
You hate cleaning.
“…I can do better.”
“Really? Then can I ask you a favor?”
“huh.”
Hwa-ran, who quickly turned his head and started cleaning, seemed to be protesting something, but Hwa-ran dismissed it by saying, ‘It’s noisy.’
“…….”
You may not even know that puberty is a storm.
