I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 189
Illustration by Miriam Elisabeth El Ras (1)
After the attempted assassination of the princess, the kingdom was engulfed in public anger.
It was only recently that there was a stir over the kidnapping of saints.
The royal family must respond and take appropriate action.
10 years ago. The situation was different from when Queen Maria died in an accident.
“An official letter has arrived from the association asking us to participate in this subjugation.”
The official document that Runia brought was an official document of cooperation declared by the royal family and stamped by the head of the Guardian Association.
Since this is a royal order, you must comply unless your liver is swollen, but…
“We will not participate.”
“Yeah, I heard the story.”
Runia shrugged her shoulders.
“I am a member of the Guardians, so I will follow the leader’s orders, but my family name is somewhat ambiguous.”
“Has cooperation already gone to the Arden family?”
“The second princess is quite motivated.”
It’s fortunate that Runia is part of our Guardians.
“Mr. Runia, please take this.”
“hmm?”
Runia looked puzzled after receiving the documents I gave her.
“Isn’t this a business trip request from Southern Dupe City?”
“Yes, Runia and Alisha will be on guard duty there.”
“At this time?”
“All the other members have already been requested to go on business trips. Oh my, everyone is so busy that they won’t be able to respond to the association’s official documents.”
“Hmm~”
Runia made an interesting expression and twisted my hair.
“Are you sure you want to do this alone?”
“Senior Marie will stay and help. Of course, I’m the only one who has to take the lead.”
“It’s a pity that you can’t intuit the majesty of the West.”
The title has evolved from Fiancé to the West….
“Come and eat some delicious food while sightseeing with Arisha.”
“Yeah, sure.”
Runia and I had a cup of tea in the office for a while and then dispersed. It’ll be hard to see her until the job is done.
Lastly, I hung a sign on the front door that said “Corrin Guardians Long-term Business Trip Closed” and left.
* * * *
The assassination attempt on Princess Miriam failed, and the Zeruem Church exposed the existence of the Demon Union.
This was the worst crisis in Danash’s history.
“You stupid wolves!”
Vampire Elder Glastig glared at the beastmen with bloodshot eyes.
Normally, I would have said something like, “Where are the mosquitoes going?”, but they are also shameless. Kush sighed and honestly admitted it.
“It’s my mistake.”
“Of course! It should have been dealt with clearly! Now the kingdom is organizing a punitive force! How are you going to stop it!”
“…The entrance to Danash is a natural fortress. All you have to do is block the narrow path and hold on.”
“It will break through one day! Unlike us, humans are numerous!”
“The wolves have been hidden all over the continent. If they wage guerrilla warfare on all sides while their army is pounding on the entrance, their ability to wage war can be eradicated. Especially if they tighten the southern region——” “Stop.
”
The one who cut off Kush’s horse was Leprechaun, the leader of the alliance. He was usually kind, but now he was staring at Kush with a sharp gaze.
“You were already preparing for war.”
“…I always prepare for the worst.”
“Didn’t I tell you repeatedly? Violence only brings about more violence.”
“However, it was only a matter of time before our existence was revealed in the extinction zone. It was a matter of sooner or later.”
“Haa……”
Leprechaun let out a sigh that had accumulated over many years.
“Still, I want to avoid fighting.”
“Is there a way, Elder?”
“I am the way.”
It was then. An unfamiliar voice intervened in the Mound conference hall.
“Corrin Locke…!”
“Ilusan! Where are we? Bring an outsider!”
A young man brought in by Edna Ilusan. Brilliant blonde boys and girls hide behind the gaze of hostile beasts.
“It’s everyone’s first meeting, but you know me, right? I contacted you once through Edna.”
“You…!”
When the man who foiled the assassination of Miriam appeared, the prisoners were ready to run away at any moment. But Kush stopped this.
“If you prevented the princess’s assassination, why are you helping us this time?”
“I may have prevented A’s assassination, but I didn’t help you when you attacked them. Just because you’re not an ally doesn’t mean you’re an enemy.”
“…….”
After those words, Kush said no more. Since the assassination attempt failed, he felt that he had no right to speak here.
The next person to speak was the elder-level vampire Glashtig.
“Corin Locke. Guardian of the new vampire Dunaref.”
“Not a guardian.”
“So are you a companion?”
“It seems similar.”
“As it is, Marie Dunareff should come here as our compatriot.”
“And that only applies to people who have no support and nowhere to go.”
“That’s true. We are poor.”
Glastig stared at the boy who was the guardian of the newborn vampire girl.
Glashtig knows the vampiric impulses of those who have just become vampires.
It’s like a curse. Just as werewolves who saw the full moon were unable to control themselves, vampires had the same impulse to suck blood.
One person probably had to die.
‘But he didn’t die. Did you say that the boy is the only one that girl sucks blood from?’
Knowing the pain of a vampire’s first vampiric impulse, Glashtig cannot help but sympathize with Marie Dunareff’s situation and Corin Locke, who overcame it.
Because I understand better than anyone else the pain unique to vampires that others do not know.
“Okay, I agree with your suggestion.”
“Glashtig?”
“What are you thinking!”
There were voices of opposition from all over, but Glastig had already made his decision.
“It’s the most likely thing at the moment, old Leprechaun. I agree.”
“Who are the rest?”
“…….”
“…….”
There was no answer. It’s natural. No fool would risk his family’s life for a foreigner. There will be a long and heated debate.
Corin Locke has no intention of waiting for this.
“I’ve already handed over a bunch of documents from Edna Ilusan. It’s going great.”
“what?”
“Of course, this bill cannot be passed without your consent. This is a close fight for justification. So, decide right here and now.”
-War or gambling?
Inside the noisy conference hall. Although Edna Illusan and Glashtig agreed, there were still many who could not make a decision.
“Do you need to worry? You can prepare for war or evacuation as you please. You just need to give me one reason.”
“…….”
It was definitely as he said. It’s a proposition that the mound won’t lose at all. Because one semi-special engineer provides assistance almost free of charge.
There was no real loss to the mound, except that it gave the cause according to tradition.
“Why… do you do that?”
Kush, who first started this situation, was unable to understand party leader Corinne Locke.
After helping Miriam, he says he will help Mound again this time. As a bat, it is doing things in turns that are not useful.
“What on earth are you thinking when you do this?”
That’s why I had to ask. Why would this young knight risk his own life to do something like this?
“Peace. The end of the chain of revenge.”
“Do you think that would be possible?
” Okay. Because I will make it happen. The best thing is for fewer people to die.”
「Let me make a suggestion. If your beastmen come under Lord Balthazar, I will invite your union to a new world.」 「
……..」
An old man came to visit me one day. The conditions were the same but different from what the druid had proposed.
Kush looked up at the ceiling blankly, lost in thought.
It was better not to kill than to kill.
It was a natural statement.
………
……
.. ──Corin Locke is elected as
the head of the union of the five Danashes. ‘Fairy King Finnvara.’ Anyone who opposes this will raise their hands. * * * * The
Mound
Suppression Army was organized in a short period of time, less than a week.
This was possible because the Steel Islands’ magic tower suppression force had not yet been disbanded. The
Guardians, who had not been able to participate in bringing in the kingdom’s army that was clearing the Steel Islands and participating in the magic tower suppression, raised their enthusiasm, saying, “This is the time.”
Above all, the kingdom’s It was largely due to the fact that the cult of Zeruem, a divided religious force, actively recruited crusaders. They
printed thousands of indulgences, saying that this war was for the Lord and that those who participate in the war would be granted indulgences to heaven by the Lord. Three sheets of indulgences
. They say you can avoid murder if you do this.
“Your Highness, the princess.” We’ll be arriving soon!”
Bishop Gres, the next cardinal, who fled to Jeruem to avoid Estelle’s religious reform.
He decided to use this attempted assassination of Princess Miriam as an opportunity and sold Dana Shewa Mound to his heart’s content. The
New Church is the existence . Mound, who was aware of and had a tacit exchange with them, is now designated as the mastermind behind the attempted assassination of the princess. A
group of vagrants who were never citizens of the kingdom in the first place. There is no need for much law enforcement to subdue them.
‘We can wipe them out well enough.’
The kingdom’s army gathered here is in the thousands, with hundreds of knights and wizards. If you include the crusade army eagerly summoned by the Catholic Church, the number reaches 20,000. The goal is the complete eradication of the underground city of Dana She and the entire mound. Miriam
. This is the moment when a long-held wish comes true.
“Please wait a little bit, everyone. I will soon send a burnt offering for you.”
This is my destiny. It is the moment when Leah Pal’s long-cherished wish is fulfilled.
Even though one character is missing from that fate, nothing changes.
She has the means and methods . Because you will have to achieve this destiny no matter what.
“Wow, princess…!”
A messenger hurriedly ran towards the leadership where Miriam was. He got off a wyvern of light weight and small size and is a member of the scouting party.
” Urgent! It’s urgent! A ‘giant sun’ appears ahead! A giant sun has appeared!”
“A giant sun?”
What are you talking about… But Miriam noticed it right away. Her
skin was tingling from earlier. The air was too dry for the cool weather of fall.
“No way…! ”
The distance between the preceding scout corps and the main unit must have been over 30km, right? Miriam soared into the sky on the wyvern that the scouts rode on.
Then, she discovered a huge sphere visible beyond.
“Corin Locke…!”
A huge sun. .. They were blocking the path of the punitive army.
* * * *
The number of the main force that arrived exceeded 15,000. Considering the knights, wizards, and clergy that belong to it, it is an unprecedented composition that cannot be simply calculated using numbers alone.
There is someone who stands alone and stands in front of an army the size of something you would only see in the final battle.
Corin Locke.
Hero of the Kingdom.
A knight who destroyed the magic tower and defeated the magic tower lord.
The man who had been praised as a hero not long ago was standing in the way of the kingdom’s army.
With the blazing sun.
-Gooooooooooooooo────!!
A vicious heat burned the air.
All living things hid their drying tongues, straightened their backs, and instinctively protected themselves.
“Ugh…!”
Their complexions become pale as the overwhelming heat illuminates the earth.
They also understood. The moment the sun sets, we all die.
That’s the sun.
Author: Corin Locke.
The hero of the kingdom and the one chosen by the gods.
Wouldn’t some people be breathless when faced with its majesty?
“Nonsense… magic power.”
“Is that really a human?”
A sphere that burns so intensely that it seems as if it could burn the universe. A wave of magic power so concentrated that it would be foolish to calculate it.
Is it really possible for one human being to possess that much magical power?
“Corrin… Locke!!”
Miriam, who arrived riding a wyvern, gritted her teeth as she saw the sun before her eyes and the Knight of the Sun in front of her.
why.
Why are you interfering with my wish?
“What are they doing…!”
In response to the criticism from the princess who ran to the front, the kingdom’s knight commander stepped forward as an example.
“Sir Corin Locke! I am Rendal, commander of the 3rd Knights! We have received a solemn order from the royal family and have come to subdue the thieves who attempted to assassinate Her Royal Highness!”
“……”
Despite the loud voice of the kingdom’s knight commander, Corin just stayed in his place like a huge rock.
However, that rock mass is a moving rock. As evidence, the previous scouting party was scattered around and destroyed. It was fortunate that no one died.
“Why is the Lord blocking our path!”
“You talk a lot.”
“…!”
Commander Rendal furrowed his brows at the verbal abuse that could easily be considered an insult.
“There is nothing we can do. If we want to receive the blade of the royal family.”
“It’s all, Captain. But the sun behind you…”
“Don’t worry. If you wanted to kill him, you would have killed the scouts first. I don’t know what he was thinking, but a knight is just doing his duty as a knight.”
Knight Commander Rendal got off his horse and drew his sword. He is a strong man who is praised as a first-class knight, as he holds one position among the knights in the kingdom.
Corin Locke. He is a first-class knight certified by the Guardian Association. If so, it means that they are on the same level as you.
He trusted his sword and confronted him, and the spearman and swordsman naturally took up their weapons.
“Lord Corrin! Be prepared…!”
Knight Commander Rendal rushed in with his eyes wide open. An artificial gust of wind occurred on a road surface filled with fallen leaves.
The charge of a heavily armed knight is like a mass of bombs exploding at the moment of impact.
-bang!
There is no knight in the hollow floor. He left the place with this explosive momentum.
“oh…!”
The knights admire the tyrannical spirit of their knight commander. Even though it was a frontal assault, Rendal’s new type arrived right in front of him in a moment that was comparable to a surprise attack.
“Sigh…!”
A sword filled with aura strikes like a thunderbolt. A sword that could cut even an ogre in half… But the sword could not reach it.
-Tup!
Corin grabbed Rendal’s wrist as he struck down his sword with one arm. That’s not all.
The two hands that were held so cruelly could not move at all and just trembled.
“What kind of power…!”
【Monstrous power】.
Temporarily increases strength by 200%.
Rendal was overwhelmed by a force that no knight could control, and his remaining arm struck his face.
“Ugh…!”
In an instant, Corin clings so closely to Rendal, who breaks his nose and takes a step back.
One leg strikes and collapses Rendal’s left leg, and at the same time, a closed fist strikes the solar plexus.
-bang!
Eight poles and six major dogs. Rendal gasps as he falls to the floor with a dizzying roar…! I let out a breath.
“Everything, Captain…!”
“You bastard…!”
The knights charge in unison to seek revenge on the leader who was wronged.
Each and every one of them is a knight, and at the same time, the masters of combat who have trained in group battles rush into formation without any error.
Great Knight Tactic No. 7 Hunting.
No one has ever survived this group tactic.
“…….”
A smile appeared on Corin’s lips.
In that split second, the knights’ entire bodies froze. It was as if there was a gap in this group strategy that they could overwhelm.
My intuition warned me that the world had slowed down.
[Silver Spear resonance activated]
“Damage──!!”
The vice-captain’s instinctive avoidance, sensing danger. However, only five people responded to the 0.1 second increments of sound being transmitted.
Flames and gusts of wind bursting from the floor. The magic power of the pre-installed runes exploded all at once.
“Rune…!”
Dozens of knights were hit by the fire that quickly engulfed them. The vice-captain was embarrassed.
“How can rune magic have this kind of power…!”
Those who did not know about [Rune Amplification] were taken aback by the resonance explosion performed by the runes, which had the power of the lowest level of magic. And──
“Gasp…!”
Korin jumps out from the raging fire and hits the vice-captain with the entirety of his spear.
“Kuh?!”
The vice-captain allowed a blow to the side, and his ribs were crushed and bounced away.
In an instant, half of the knights evaporated. The leader and vice-leader were unable to hold on and collapsed.
“…….”
Completely overwhelmed.
The Master of the Sun looks down at Miriam and the Legion with a mad smile.
“What is this?”
It was the beginning of rebellion.
