I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 158
Ancient Remains (2)
A large eyeball was hanging.
They must have been trying to forcibly lift the closed eyelids by cutting the ends of the eyelids with a rake and pulling them back… The eyes were so huge and heavy that they had to be.
Deep and huge pupils that seem to pierce through all things, yet strangely shaped like a cross. Any living thing would meet these eyes and their heart would sink.
“Calm down. Of course… he’s not alive.”
Even though we did not understand what Master said, we followed him.
If you look closely, it is not in a state where it can move. The giants I saw on Sky Island… no, even more.
There is no way the giant’s trace, with only its gigantic eyeballs, can move.
“Corrin… It’s very different from the giant I saw on Sky Island. This one eyeball is as big as the giant’s body.”
“The size is different, right? That’s the real original.”
The original giants are the Sky Giants… a faction that differentiated from the original giants.
They lost the struggle for supremacy with the Danan Gods and were forced to deteriorate as they were sent to remote areas or places of exile that confined them for generations.
Unlike the days when they had everything, they couldn’t get enough food, so they had to reduce their size first, and they died without being able to pass on their magical powers and knowledge.
The remaining giants of this era are about a dozen, including the sky giant Sharvan seen in the east and the frost giant Utgarde of the northern North Kingdom.
It is as rare a species as a dragon.
That’s why it’s dangerous. The plan to revive the Giant of the Magic Tower is:
“These giant eyes… I’ve seen them before.”
The Master gazed at the giant with only his eyeballs remaining, recalling old memories. Probably one of the few survivors of the era of true giants.
“Did you participate in the war against the giants?”
“It’s true baby.”
Master Erin pinching my cheeks. She glared at me with a sullen expression.
“Does this master look that old?”
“Aaaanyeo… It’s refreshing…”
Something… It seems to be a story older than the time she was born.
“The war between the giants and the ancestors began after this continent was created and the sky giants went into hiding. After two major battles in Moytura, the war ended with the death of the giant king.”
“If you are a giant king…”
“Yes, the giant king Balor. His other name is Balor of Sarn. He murdered God King Nuada and was defeated by the bright Danan Lu… He was the most powerful demon king.”
Ardri. Danan of the Sun killed Nuada… I definitely remember reading the record.
It’s ironic.
The reason the Magic Tower was able to resurrect the giant was because Tates Balthazar had been preparing for a long time.
Balthazar, who inherited the throne of Lugh who killed the king of the giants, resurrected the king of the giants.
“Corin… I heard about it, but how does the Magic Tower resurrect giants? They died a very long time ago.”
“It is possible. If you have Undri, the Cauldron of Abundance and Life… the Miraculous Cauldron, called the Holy Grail in the Church, and the ‘Holy Blood’.”
But it is a half-resurrection. Because the old body had decayed and decomposed, there was very little left.
Unless it’s a corpse buried in the frigid lands like the Iron Islands or the North Kingdom.
“Even so, there are a lot of missing parts, so we need other things to reinforce the flesh and joints.”
“That’s why you need the Golden School’s Golem Art.”
Transforming and combining the properties of substances is a specialty of alchemy. If you add green wave… the magic of life, which probably came from the Druid’s secret arts, it is the resurrection of a giant that magic tower wizards can control.
I know because I’ve done something similar.
“Master.”
“You want to destroy it? But you can’t.”
“Simultaneous manifestation when escaping after working on runes.”
“Impossible. Activating the Silver Spear’s Resonance is a technique that Tates and I often used when attacking the Magic Tower. Like space leaping, it is prohibited in the Magic Tower.”
“What about a purely physical fire? An oil drum would make a good fire.”
“At least in a laboratory of this level, most accidents can be resolved immediately. This place is full of wizards.”
When the two proposed moves were blocked, Marie this time raised her opinion.
“How about taking Deokgu out from the shadows, letting him run wild, and then retrieving him?”
“I don’t want to recommend it unless you can sacrifice Deokgu. Cutting the link between a familiar and his master and capturing him alive is an easy task for elder-level wizards.”
“You can have Chun-sik do it!”
Hot! Marie’s shadow seemed to flicker for a moment.
“If you give the ghoul back its power for a moment, it may not be as powerful as before, but it will be able to produce firepower similar to that of a professor. However, to burn the eyeballs of the king of giants, you will need to have four or five levels of that level.”
Marie thinks for a moment when she is told that she must have the skills to withstand the magicians who will come at the same time as the attack, and then looks at her as if it would be a waste to throw her away as a consumable.
“I heard that the efficiency of the salt farm has increased thanks to Chun-sik’s flame magic. It doesn’t seem worth using and throwing away in a place like this.”
Are you using an elder-level wizard to boil the salt water in the salt farm?…
-Kkiik!
It was then. Someone came in through the door we came in through.
“Corrin, hide…!”
Master urgently holds my hand and hides behind the mountain of experiment materials. Marie blushed and crawled under a nearby desk.
“Hehe, then I guess we just have to do a little more from now on?”
“That’s right. But Lord Skies, the damage is so serious. The other giants wouldn’t know, but this is the only body of the Giant King Balor…” “
Araara~ So you’re lending me this?”
Skies takes out a large cauldron from inside my body.
“That’s…”
“Undri.”
Master and I immediately recognized its identity.
The treasure of the God King Dagda. One of Danan’s four great treasures and a treasure trove of infinite life.
“If I absorb more Precious Blood from now on, I will be able to fill the rest with my flesh. Kihihihihi!”
A unique, bizarre light flows out faintly. He’s always in a bad mood.
“In Undri… someone like that was born.”
The teacher sighs sadly after seeing his ancestors’ treasure being misused. They were so close that their shoulders were clinging to each other, and their breath was touching our noses.
“I’m so sorry.”
“What? Isn’t it narrower than that?”
“It’s okay. More than that…”
“Shh…!”
The guy moved. He urgently covers Master’s mouth and suppresses any gasping sounds.
“What’s going on?”
“Shh… Be quiet.”
Gulp gulp! I can hear the sound of his body being transformed. Mau or Dragon.
“Is there a rat… or isn’t there one?”
The sound of people stepping on the floor gets closer and closer.
If there is a battle here… it will be a pain in the ass. It would be suicidal to deal with them with this number of people unless it is at least around the time the seeds bloom.
Please just skip it.
“Is there anything? Is there anything?”
The rotten smell coming from its maw reached right beyond the material we were hiding in. The moment we were about to catch his eye…
-Shoot!
“I found it!”
Shout something towards the source of the sound! Skys exhales. The smell of something burning and burning irritated the tip of my nose.
-Squeak!
Rats running out of the mess.
“Huh? It’s really a rat?”
“They’re lab rats. I guess they opened the cage due to mismanagement.”
“Gurae?”
Skyes soon turned his back on our hiding place. A life of survival… I glanced at Marie’s hiding place and saw Deok-gu entering Marie’s shadow.
‘Deokgu Nice!’
-Tap-tap-tap!
Soon, the sound of his footsteps changed to that of an ordinary human, and the sound of two people opening the door of the laboratory and leaving was heard.
But it is too early to be reassured. It could be a fake.
“Just hold your breath for a moment.”
“…….”
“Master?”
Master, no response. When I turn my gaze to her… I see a face that is getting familiar, with the eyes turning taut.
“What’s wrong?”
“Uh… huh? No… that… my disciple’s hands are big… because.”
“Master, your face is probably small.”
My hands are not the size of a pot lid, but they are a little bigger than those of an average man. On the other hand, Master had a well-proportioned body and a small face among other girls.
“How amazing.”
“Huh? Where are you going?”
“To be able to use such a spear with such a small body… I respect you, Master.”
“Ugh…”
Master twisted his body as if he was embarrassed. If you twist your body in this close contact, it will be difficult for your student.
“Corin… go back and add 10,000 choruses.”
“No… Why? I have to do it.”
“I’ll give you one-on-one guidance, so look forward to it.”
Master? In times like this, shouldn’t you be prepared?
* * * *
After many twists and turns, we arrived at the 8th floor. We were faced with a choice.
“There are a total of nineteen laboratories in this place. Rather than a personal laboratory, it is a place where necessary magic tools and equipment are placed, so it is unclear who is experimenting where and what…” Elder Admalek, a popular mage of the past
. This is because the Ace of the Dunaref Salt Farm Division, Chun-sik, felt the need to split up when he mentioned the 8-story structure.
“What should we do? It would be safer for the three of us to search each one together.”
“No, it’s not good to drag out an infiltration operation for a long time. It would be better to split up and if you are discovered, make as much noise as possible and join together.”
“I think what the Chairman said is correct. I and Deok-gu will separate and search.”
So we decided to split up and search the vast 8th floor of the Magic Tower.
The problem is how to penetrate from the 7th floor to the basement if discovered on the 8th floor, but we have prepared for this as well.
“Hmm…”
The 8th floor is less popular than you might imagine because it is where the exclusive laboratories of magic tower lords and elder-level wizards are located.
Still, I cross the laboratories as little as possible.
As it was a high-level laboratory for elder-level wizards, it was full of all kinds of strange things and was spacious.
‘Estel… Where is Estelle?’
Other than having blood drawn to revive the giant, he will not be treated harshly.
However, in the previous episode, he was the person who had built up a relationship next to Mir. I can’t help but feel worried.
As I was walking inside, I suddenly entered a laboratory and realized that the atmosphere had changed.
It’s almost like a ranch… no, it’s closer to a chicken coop than a ranch.
The excrement and sewage were not properly cleaned up, giving off a foul smell, and I could feel the life force crying inside.
I thought I could live well in a place like this, but I soon realized what it was and frowned.
Tiny babies whose umbilical cords hadn’t even been cut properly… They were crawling on the floor, a mixture so bizarre that it couldn’t be considered a single living thing.
“Chimera…”
It was a familiar familiar commonly used by wizards of the Magic Tower and an active biological experiment.
Since the Witch Revolution, the Magic Tower has been regularly inspected by the Guardian Association and the Academy Royal Family.
Inhumane human experiments and unauthorized experiments were strictly prohibited. It’s not for nothing that wizards secretly built a laboratory outside the Magic Tower.
But chimeras are different.
These combinations of life, which seem to be an insult to life, are not restricted. The caveat is that it doesn’t matter as long as it doesn’t involve humans.
“Purrr…”
I saw the poor victim, like a hen in a chicken coop, with her neck and torso fixed and only able to hatch and eat food.
Unicorn.
Unicorn fairy horse.
It is a being closer to a spirit creature than a monster.
Even the fantasy beings that feel mysterious just by looking at them are merely the mother body that will give birth to chimeras in the Magic Tower?
“…….”
His clear and clear gaze turns towards me. Even in this filthy filth, he had untainted purity.
And that pure white will was conveyed to me. Ask me to kill myself.
“Personally, in times like this, I advise you to survive at all costs.”
Food Duck A guy who shakes his fixed head. Did you understand what I said?
“Crung…!”
The guy’s eyes turn to the window I’m holding. The will of the eyes that met again was firm.
Aim at the window. The guy lowered his forehead to make it easier to penetrate him.
-puck!
It wasn’t a very pleasant task. When the warmth of life disappeared from the guy with his head down, the horns on his forehead came into view.
Unicorn horn.
It is a legendary material used to manufacture high-ranking equipment and purifies all poisons…
“I pray that you will live a better life in the next life.”
I didn’t want to damage the body of a guy who had lived a painful life. If this were hypocrisy, it would be hypocrisy.
…………
The time when I left behind the unicorn in its eternal sleep. I felt a pure white light behind my back.
Pop! Something that falls. I looked at the floor and saw that the unicorn’s horn had been plucked cleanly and landed on my foot.
“…….”
Is this a revelation of something? Is it the will of the unicorn?
“Don’t be grateful.”
I took the guy’s horn and left the laboratory.
I have a mixed feeling.
………
……
…
Then, while searching the laboratory, I encountered an elder-level wizard, but I was not detected because I hid well.
So the third laboratory. It was I who discovered Princess Estelle.
“Well, I didn’t think I was being treated badly, but…”
“Ugh?”
There is only a window, but a silk carpet and a bed with a luxurious mattress… A pink-haired saint enjoying the ocean view while drinking wine.
Seeing him enjoy such a luxurious life after putting so many people through hardships makes me feel grumpy for no reason.
“Wow! You came to save my junior!”
Estelle’s eyes and expression brighten as she looks at me.
The saint’s eight-pointedness is just upper eight-pointed.
“Quick! Get me out quickly!”
“Princess.”
“why?”
“If I save you, can I give you a kiss on the cheek?”
It’s a romance. Getting a kiss from a princess.
“If you save me, I’ll give it to your lips. By the way, this is your first kiss.”
“…I’ll save you quickly.”
