I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 188
Mentor (5)
It was a mistake.
That’s because I was unusually excited.
A wolf with silver fur that has been chasing me for a long time. It was discovered in the shrine of Zeruem.
The reason is obvious. They were probably trying to save their compatriots trapped in the sacred site of Zeruem, which they claim is an extinct place.
For a very long time, these unidentified prisoners have been fighting against the Zeruem Church and have not revealed their home base despite numerous tortures and persecutions.
Estelle seems to know, but in the end she didn’t tell me that either.
Well, that’s good. If we cut them all, at least one person will get burned. Miriam led his men and pursued them.
Each and every one of Miriam’s subordinates for ‘hunting’ are strong, high-level guardians. In addition, hundreds of private soldiers were trained separately.
I thought there was no shortage of power…
“I let my guard down.”
I fell into a trap.
Fairy Shift.
It is a secret technique of switching, also known as a fairy’s prank.
Although it does not seem to be possible to manipulate space at the level of Grand Witch Josephine Clara, it was successful in isolating only one person, Miriam, in a remote location.
-Awwwwwwwwwwww——!
Mountain range at night. The wolf’s howl rings out. It is the howling of angry werewolves looking for themselves.
“Whew… So, they must be very upset? I can feel
their anger and hatred
up to this point .
Even though she felt the vivid voice of hatred with her own skin, Miriam did not waver at all. Because
she is the one who hates them more than anyone else.
* * * *
Miriam Elisabeth El Ras was born as the second princess of the kingdom.
There were many people who had high hopes for her as the next queen just as much as Estelle, who stood out as a saint.
The nurse who served as a nursing mother from a young age. The maids who served her. The royal wizard who taught her magic.
“Mir, my daughter!” There was
a mother who loved her more than anyone else
.
-Awwwww…!
-Awww…!
There was a wolf that night too . It was a moonlit night with the howling of the field spreading out.
A villa not far from the Western Jeruem Shrine.
My mother, a faithful member of the Zeruem Church, went on a holiday to a western villa for a holiday.
I remember falling asleep immediately after being exhausted from the long carriage journey.
“Ugh… Mom?”
I got out of bed in my sleep because of the commotion outside.
“Princess…”
“Nanny?”
The woman who usually called to me in a soft voice looked somewhat depressed and helpless.
– Shake it off!
“Nanny… I’m scared. “Don’t play around…”
I tried to shake the nanny as much as I could, but only a dangerous voice came back, like a dying flame.
“Princess… run…”
She fell down and didn’t move anymore and was on the floor. Something with a fishy smell began to accumulate in it.
“Ah…”
Miriam looked beyond the door where the nanny had fallen. Her
vision was filled with gore.
It was the day when everything in the world she knew disappeared.
………
……
…
Since being isolated in an unknown mountain range, Miriam has been resisting the wolves’ pursuit for longer than expected.
「The tracking ability of canines relies on their sense of smell. “If you can do something about your sense of smell, it’s not difficult to avoid being chased.” This was
advice that scolded me for not knowing what to do.
The mock battle with the blood dog that was chasing me while dominating the hounds helped me more than I thought.
Werewolves With this beak, he released the snake that paralyzed the hounds and killed one of the hounds he was pursuing, covering its skin and blood. Although
Miriam was not a diligent student, he had a genius talent for applying what he had learned, so even werewolves were able to track him down. It was difficult.
‘It’s as if… this situation was anticipated.’
He knows something. Maybe more than he imagined. That’s why he wants it.
If he just takes my side, these wolves won’t be my opponent.
But the limit has finally come. Even if
you hide your scent and erase your traces, werewolves won’t kill you. They are masters of tracking and hunting.
It was too much for the lame princess, who was escorted by numerous soldiers, including knights and wizards, to resist——
“I found you.”
The wolves surrounded her.
A werewolf with silver fur stepped in front of them.
“You. ……”
“It’s been ten years, princess.”
“Mom?”
I remember the cursed silver fur that had sunk its claws into my mother’s heart.
“It’s been a long time, huh? “I caught the guy who put his claws in my left foot, but you can’t see me?”
“His name was Beckel.”
“I know. It made me vomit everything from his birth to his wife. But you didn’t tell me where you bastards are from.”
Torture.
It was a notorious evil deed that the Snake Princess had committed against the beastmen for 10 years. She
would scour the entire kingdom to hunt beastmen, inflict terrible torture, and sometimes even use their corpses to kill their compatriots. He lured them in.
“That damn bitch…!”
“There’s nothing more to say! We must kill them immediately!”
“I will soothe the souls of our dead brothers by ripping them limb from limb!”
10 years is a long time. How many prisoners have died in the meantime? Where did this chain of hatred begin?
“Let me apologize first, princess. .”
“……!”
“Kush?”
The werewolves seemed taken aback by his unexpected reaction. On the other hand, Miriam, who heard the apology… ”
….. .!”
He was glaring at Kush with an extremely venomous gaze.
“For saying things like that…!”
“But I don’t regret it. If I went back 10 years ago, I would have done the same thing. And… I wouldn’t have let you go, I would have killed you on the spot.”
「Let go, Bekel.」
「Yes? But Kush! This is that woman’s daughter!」
The beastmen attacked Queen Maria’s villa.
Even though he was guarded by numerous knights and wizard soldiers, he was unable to stop the beastmen who came in with determination.
Above all, Eunrang’s Kush. This man is one of the greatest bloodlines among the long lineage of beastmen. His power is comparable to that of a semi-special knight. That’s how he is
. The man who led the prisoners to slaughter Queen Maria let Miriam go.
“It was shallow sympathy and a fleeting conscience. At that time, we… no, I should have killed you.”
“Hehehe…”
Hearing Kush’s words, Miriam withdrew her venomous gaze and started giggling.
That was the laughter of a girl who was only seventeen. The voice was so heavy and filled with madness.
“Hehe, yes, that’s how it should be.” It should have been so. You should have regretted not killing me then!”
Receiving sympathy does not mean the resentment will go away.
“I will kill all of your people. I don’t even leave any seeds. I will poison every single one of them.”
Kush also acknowledged this.
“Your mother was obsessed with discriminating against and hunting us. He handed over his compatriots to the wicked priests of destruction. In words, they mentioned things like purification and reformation.”
Kush remembers that day. 10 years ago, he led a group of impatient prisoners and attacked the queen’s villa, ignoring Mound’s attempts to dissuade him. “My daughter… died like that too
. .”
So he killed her. Compared to Queen Asher and King David, the former queen Maria was a believer in the Catholic Church and saw Main as an object to be purified. She was
also the daughter of Asher’s concubine. Although she was the first princess, she was far from royal power because she was the daughter of a second wife. There was also a political calculation that said it would be advantageous for Estelle, a distant saint, to become the next queen.
“This is ultimately a fight like this. Only when each side kills the other does one side survive.”
That’s why he doesn’t regret it. Because in the end, he would have done the same thing.
“I agree on one thing. But I’m not the one going extinct.”
“You can’t defeat me.”
“Yes, with me now, that’s true. I will be killed by you.”
Miriam took out a stone from the hem of her dress. Leah’s arm, the crown stone of fate, whose brilliance rivals that of an elaborately cut gem. “『But
this is not my destiny.』”
At that very moment . It was.
Lia’s arm, which absorbed Miriam’s magical power in an instant, radiated radiance and the space became distorted. Lia’s arm. A
symbol
of the God-King who confirms fate or changes fate.
Even the goddesses who weave the thread of fate believed that this stone forced them to Fate cannot be solved.
Even other divine objects exist under laws. But Leah’s arm is different. In the name of fate, Leah’s arm goes beyond the process and brings results. For
example… like this.
“I hope you stick close to Lady Josephine. Well done.”
It’s like calling a helper who will transcend space and force fate.
“Josephine Clara? Corin Locke?!”
“How on earth?”
The beastmen looked perplexed when Josephine, the space witch, and Corin Locke, the hero of the kingdom, suddenly appeared.
“I thought my men would come out.”
Or, could I jump through space myself ? Or,
Corin lightly guessed Miriam’s question.
“No matter how fraudulent the Lia Arm is, it is an item that protects its own cause and effect. Of course, if you don’t think it’s going to work, it’s a mistake and you’ll just blow it all away.”
Corin laughs, saying that the princess’s mana barrel won’t help.
“Lady Joséphine, who can use spatial leap. And I happened to be next to him. Wouldn’t you be much more suitable for causality than your subordinates?”
I found it odd that he spoke as if he had experienced it, but that’s not the point.
“Really? Well, I like it anyway. They are the criminals who attempted to assassinate the princess. Kill them.”
“I refuse for now.”
“What do you mean?”
Instead of answering the princess’s question, Kush and Suyin stood in front of her.
“By the time I came, your assassination attempt had stopped. Do you want to make a life-or-death decision with me, or do you want to stay like this?”
It was an offer that neither of them liked. But Kush made a wise decision.
“Stand back.”
“Kush!?”
“We can take it out!”
The curious beastmen said . Kush remained calm as he spoke.
“It’s hard to deal with two semi-specials. The princess still has all her strength.”
With that, Kush calmly led his group and retreated. However, he let out a sad sigh as he retreated.
“In the end… I guess there is no answer other than all-out war.”
“No. All you have to do is accept my offer.”
“…….”
There was no answer to that. He should quickly return to the mound and report on his failure to assassinate the princess, which he did arbitrarily.
“…. …”
The beastmen disappeared and Miriam glared at Corin with a cold gaze. Even this was a great understatement.
“I should have killed her.”
“It’s a bit much to deal with dozens of beastmen while protecting the princess.” ”
My body belongs to me . I can protect it.”
“And what if I die? If you die, you can’t take revenge or anything, right?”
“Student Corin, that’s…”
Joséphine tried to say something, but Corin stopped her.
That’s how Corin and Miriam faced each other.
“That’s what revenge is. You do everything on foot. Things like my life don’t come into the equation.”
“From where to where?”
“Everything. It’s all Corin Locke. “Isn’t it natural?”
“Don’t be so vain, princess. There is no ‘end’ in ‘everything’. It’s not possible.”
“Then what should I do?”
“I have to set a line. We must conclude and achieve the end of revenge and end it.”
-Otherwise, revenge will not end.
* * * *
The attempted assassination of Princess Miram shook the kingdom once again following the kidnapping of the saint.
However, this incident It was difficult for the kingdom to respond because it was not clear who did it.
They knew that Ku Shira was a werewolf, but it was difficult to even know who this person was and where he belonged. It could not have been
a city of demons that had existed in the underworld for hundreds of years. Who would have expected that there would be.
However, unexpected testimony came from the Zeruem Shrine.
“The one who attacked Princess Miriam was a coalition of demons called Mounds. They live in an underground city called Dana Shir—”
In the case of Estelle’s purge of the Pope. The bishops who sensed this and fled. One of them reported the existence of the Mound and Danash.
Now that the direction in which the kingdom’s blade will move has been decided──
“I, Miriam Elizabeth El Ras, will kill the demons who attempted to assassinate the princess. We will subdue it.”
Yes, of course it will be like this.
The Kingdom Army was dispatched, and the Guardian Association summoned the Guardians to participate in the subjugation of the mound.
As if waiting for this, the Zeruem Church dispatched the Temple Knights and put pressure on Estel and the Zeon Church. The New Church could not express its opinion due to its previous protectionism of demons.
An army was gathering to exterminate demons and Danash.
“It was a little faster than expected, but this was a control loss on your part. What are you going to do?”
I said, looking at the cat queen Edna Ilusan, who came in a hurry.
“……Is the offer still valid?”
“Of course.” It’s
almost time for the next phase.
