I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 194

Miriam Elisabeth El Ras (6)

The continent is large, and in a world where monsters and demonic spirits run rampant, there are many places where the central rule of law does not reach.

A place where the shadow of the law cannot reach, such as the tyranny of those in power in a small society. Magistrates exist to enforce the law in such places.

Their power is great.

Like the secret royal inspectors of the Joseon Dynasty, they have the authority to investigate and review cases on their own and even make decisions on the spot.

And now. The narrow ravine that had been a battlefield just moments ago suddenly turned into a courtroom.

There is no one who strongly opposes the exercise of judicial power as a magistrate for a just cause.

“Defendant Kush. Forward.”

While I blocked the army, he watched from behind as instructed and obediently responded to my call as a judge.

The crime was attempted assassination of the princess. This charge, which had been levied against the entire Danash, was now being applied only to one werewolf.

“I will not ask you a complicated question. Because the magistrate’s trial values brevity. ‘Citizen of the Kingdom’ Kush. You attempted to assassinate Her Highness Miriam Elisabeth El Ras, the second princess of the El Ras Kingdom.”

In this position, I am a prosecutor. We must investigate the crime and prove Kush’s crime.

“Witness present! Corrin Locke!”

The prosecutor brought a witness to appear, and that witness was the prosecutor himself. However, the fact that I saved the princess is widely known, so no one can object.

“This witness witnessed the defendant’s attempt to harm Her Royal Highness at the scene. Does the defendant acknowledge the witness’s testimony?”

“…I admit it.”

“Okay, it’s concluded. Since the defendant confessed, the judge said—”

“This… what kind of skit is this?”

I naturally looked at Miriam. She is a victim approaching with her molars clenched.

The guy who was protecting the demons just a moment ago brought the demons to court.

Yeah, it’s a bit of a funny situation. If it were a modern court, he would have been accused by the bar association of conflict of interest or something.

“As the only judge here, I am following the proper legal process, Your Royal Highness. Respect the majesty of the laws of the kingdom.”

Miriam’s body trembles. I think over the words of criticism and devaluation directed at me.

But she will know with reason. This insignificant little cause is a fatal trick.

Since the cause of ‘law’ had already been pushed in, they were suppressing the entire Mound, which represented the interests of Danash, on charges of attempted assassination.

“Her Royal Highness… Magistrate Corin Locke’s actions… are completely lawful.”

I have no choice but to stop.

In the first place, the suspicion of attempted assassination of the princess was the justification for organizing the punitive force.

Since the attempted assassin has confessed his crime, he cannot force himself to wipe out all the demons belonging to Danash, let alone the Mound.

The reason why Miriam was able to wipe out all of the Dana Shedle in the previous episode was because she could not follow this natural procedure.

Because he was a non-citizen who did not even have the right to defend himself.

But now, the 3,000 demons of Danash have become official citizens of the kingdom and have the right to defend themselves.

Massacre more than 3,000 kingdom citizens without due legal process? Even if you are a king, this is impossible.

“A traitor… Corin Locke is a traitor.”

“He has… immunity.”

Yes, this series of processes was all planned.

Buy time to complete resident registration and formally judge the demons who have become citizens of the kingdom.

Since I only lead the military, judicial power belongs only to me. I am the prosecutor, witness, and judge. Even the defendant, Kush, has no intention of defending himself.

And qualifications? Since he is a traitor, won’t he be deprived of his magistrate status?

Yes, but I have immunity. Even if it was treason, the king officially declared that he would forgive my sins once.

It was a perfect cause, a fight for a petty cause, and it crossed the border of all kinds of illegality.

“This judge detains Kush for the attempted assassination of Her Royal Highness Princess Miram.”

This small difference is decisive.

“Also, members of the private group Mound, which has been designated as the force behind the assassination, must defend themselves at the capital’s central court.”

It was checkmate.

“…….”

The sentence is over. Kush will be transported to the royal capital and receive just punishment for the attempted assassination of the princess… and the incident 10 years ago.

The detailed facts will be revealed and a sentence will be handed down.

This story officially ends here.

From now on, this is the unofficial story on the back.

* * * *

That night when the national wedding was decided. She confessed her story to me.

“Revenge. That’s all I’ve wanted since that day 10 years ago.”

Miriam’s motivation was easy for anyone to understand.

Murdered mother. nurse. The palace maids who were like family. One crippled foot.

Because they were murdered, they will have to live with disabilities for the rest of their lives.

Her revenge is completely just and natural.

“Please help me, Lord Corrin.”

“Well… since you’re my wife, if that’s the case.”

I misjudged.

I should have said it then.

I couldn’t even imagine how far she would go.

………

……

…

“Fuck.”

Even in the original work, the survival of Danash and Mound is one of the ending elements that determines whether or not support forces will be added in the final battle.

It was important for the ending and for the innocent demons that they survive and prevent Princess Miriam from taking revenge.

“Where on earth did the information get leaked?”

Miriam stormed the mound. They created a justification in an instant much faster than in the original work and carried out the work when ‘we’ were not present.

After resolving the events of the original story, which happened as planned, when I hurried back to the sudden news of the war with Mound, everything was already…

“Bro, this is already over.”

I was filled with despair as I saw Danash reduced to ashes.

“Why… did this happen?”

“Well, Princess Miriam doesn’t know who the culprit is.”

We don’t know that either.

In the original work, the target of Miriam’s revenge was lumped together as a demon.

It is said that it initially started with a call for the culprit of the tragedy 10 years ago to be brought forward.

However, the mound resisted Princess Miriam and the punitive forces. No one would believe the words of the snake princess who hunted them for 10 years and give up their compatriots.

“Ha… haha… fuck. fuck.”

But you killed them all? What can you see? Because there must be a culprit among them?

It’s crazy.

I went crazy.

Consumed by revenge and hatred.

This was a tragedy.

My legs were shaking. However, the person who woke me up that day was a wolf child who was arguing with a soldier from the kingdom.

“What, there was a survivor? Bro? Where are you going?”

I ignored Park Si-hoo’s restraint and approached the child.

“Get out…! Get out…!”

The child, who was smaller than my waist, was hugging something smaller than me.

The kingdom soldier was looking at the child like he was annoyed.

“How dare this damn wolf cub…!”

“stop.”

“Huh? What is your sire doing here…”

The soldier was stopped and bitten. The child seems to have figured out that I am the husband of the princess who swept away this place.

“You too…! You’re on that snake’s side too! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill everyone!”

A gaze burning with hatred. It resembles Miriam.

How can the malice of those who have been lost be so similar?

Why couldn’t I read the malice contained in those gazes?

This child will probably never forget revenge until the moment he dies. Just like Miriam did.

Perhaps they will continue their hatred even if it means risking their lives and losing their lives.

It is natural for a murderer to take revenge on his enemies.

This malice will spread again like a plague.

“Fuck.”

“Your sire?”

“Not anymore.”

I had to cut it off.

I should have hung up.

* * * *

That night, the rare event of conquering Mound and Danash was foiled by me.

I found Kush tied to a meaningless rope.

“Fairy King Sari.”

“It looks more comfortable than I thought.”

“is it.”

Eunrang… He, the leader of the werewolves, looked up blankly at the moonlight.

“I never thought this day would come.”

From the first time we met, he had an empty gaze.

Kush is a werewolf who hates the human kingdom and the religious order. He is not a good man. He could never be a good person.

“넌 분명 악인에 속하고 빌어먹을 개새끼지만…….”

“너무하는군.”

“…It’s not that I can’t understand. I know someone similar.”

“Is this the snake princess?”

I silently agreed.

“The beginning of your revenge must have been justified. Did you say you lost your daughter?”

“Yes. Those bastards from extinction kidnapped my daughter. They tortured her, experimented on her, and skinned her.”

“So you killed the former queen, who was a Catholic sympathizer?”

“…….”

“How many people did you kill? Whether it was Zeruem’s priests or their sympathizers. Did you think they were all the same?”

“Wrong?”

“Wrong. There is definitely some responsibility.”

Why are demons oppressed?

This is obviously because those who were killed and lost their families and friends due to the Demons turned their arrows of hatred towards the Demons as a whole.

If Marie Dunareff.

If the Netherlands.

If you murdered someone at the moment of awakening. Did the murdered man’s family forgive Marie Holland?

Probably not.

The accumulated hatred became history, became the doctrine of the church, and turned itself into a monster.

They would have become monsters and persecute the demons, and the demons would have gritted their teeth in hatred and come back as the real monsters they feared.

It was clear that they were innocent victims in the beginning.

Revenge and hatred can all too easily lead to malice.

Grieving and remembering the dead leads to violence by evildoers.

“Then what? What should we have done? What can we do other than kill and destroy the enemy?”

“I don’t know. If I knew that, I would be God. But…”

The snake lingers in the dark. The unconvinced snakes move.

“But I can tell you one thing.”

In the dark. A snake wearing a dark red dress appeared.

“This is the point of return and the place to break the chain.”

…………

………

……

Miriam stared at me, frozen.

“It seems like you expected it.”

Leading a group of troops.

“Is that all? It’s a lot less than I thought.”

“…….”

I know who they are.

Kalatin and her three daughters. Rojo Pergia. In addition, there are unknown soldiers and priests of the Zeruem Church.

People who followed Miram in the original and in previous episodes. Comrades who share the ‘same goal’.

In the previous episode, he willingly risked his life while being consumed by her madness…

“You know, but we can’t wipe out the mound with just that much force.”

“I know, but it’s not important. We risked our lives.”

The wizard Kalatin had a son. His three daughters had a proud older brother. At a young age, he worked as a wizard for the royal family and taught the princess.

Roho had a younger brother who tended horses at the royal stables. He was a civil servant who often accompanied the royal family on their outings and took care of the horses.

Pergia had a lover. A fresh and lovely maid who boasted about her princess ever since she was toddling around.

These many lives that were shattered when Cush killed Queen Maria and her family… completed the terrible revenge.

“Get out of the way, Knight of the Sun. You know that we will fail anyway. Then just ignore it. Wait for it to oxidize on its own.”

“We can’t beat you. I know it. I know it.”

“But you still have to do it. Isn’t that what revenge is?”

“This chimera monster I carry around with me was created using my son’s blood. …… I know. I don’t attach any special meaning to it. But… yes, it is an old man’s vain wish.”

“Oh my sire. “Did you have a hot night with the princess?”

“You’re strong. The joining of the strong is always welcome.”

In the game, minor characters were simply defeated and finished. I was able to hear their narrative about the past only in the previous episode.

I understand. Clearly this revenge is justified. Since it is just, we must end with what is just.

“‘Infinite Snake’ won’t let it work.”

“”……!!””

Everyone on the other side is shocked by my remarks. How do you know that?

Just as Danan left behind many mysteries in this land, it is a harbinger of destruction that has caused so much destruction that even myths have disappeared.

What I received from Tates Balthazar from the frost giant in Myriam is one of the omens, Midgard Rise. It is the awakening of the Infinite Serpent.

If she uses that power of the end, if she can somehow go deep into Danash and awaken as an infinite snake, Miriam will be able to bring down Danash.

For that one opportunity, they carried out a special suicide attack.

After I married Miram, I was able to hear more of their stories.

I thought revenge was right, and I still do.

The justice they cry out for is something that is very natural to them.

therefore.

“Stop here. I won’t let you go any further.”

“Do not be ridiculous!”

Miriam finally couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted.

She is enraged and glares at me as if she will explode with anger at any moment.

“You’re going to end my long-cherished wish with just something like this… a skit like this?”

As if to block her hateful gaze, Kush stepped forward.

“I did it and I carried it out. I am in charge of everything, princess. Just kill me…”

“Shut up! Who are you? Who are you, Mara, who takes responsibility alone!”

A snake emerged from the hem of her dress. The snake that Miriam is working with twists its body, leaps out, and sinks its teeth into Kush’s shoulder.

“You are only the tail of a snake. You are only the beginning…!”

“Tsk…!”

The snake did not end with just one snake. A huge serpent that swelled in size after eating her magic power rushed at Kush with the intention of swallowing her up in one bite.

“stop.”

I cut off the snake’s head and saved Kush. This guy shouldn’t die here. He should receive a fair punishment, not be treated as a guest in a place like this.

“Corrin Locke…!”

“I said it was the beginning, princess.”

“Get out of there!”

“It was this son of a bitch who killed your mother and family 10 years ago. The reason why it happened is probably not that important.”

Miriam killed Kush in the previous episode as well. And he also killed all his subordinates. And and and…

“Who’s next? Other prisoners who followed Kush? Other elders of the mound? Officials under him? And next? Who benefited from the incident 10 years ago? “The residents of Danash? The Protestants who have tolerated and hid Danash until now? How far do they go?”

“Everything. We have to destroy everything. That’s how it ends.”

No, it doesn’t end.

Those who survived by making choices for political gain, those who benefited, those who cooperated, those who tolerated it… there is no end.

Miriam Elisabeth el Ras. Without being able to decide on an ending point, it just keeps running endlessly like a runaway locomotive.

Until my body burns and burns to the ground.

“You have to draw a line, Miriam. You have to choose where you end.”

“why me?”

“Then revenge will begin again.”

I remember Wolf Children.

The child who lost his family and had the same eyes as Miriam.

The hatred transferred from Kush to Miriam and from Miriam to the wolf child.

There is no end in sight.

“I’m not talking about the futility of revenge. Revenge must be taken. Those who deserve punishment must be punished. But it must be done in accordance with proper procedures. It is not something that is wielded haphazardly like this.”

“Ha… you have become a saint.”

Miriam sarcastically walked over. Kush faced me as I blocked his path.

“My family is dead. They killed them. But why should I think about that?”

As if he was going to cry with his empty gaze clutching his heart tightly in his chest.

“why me?”

-Shaaaaaak!

A snake came out of my dress and wrapped around my neck. It exposed its fangs dripping with venom and made a bitter sound.

“Move.”

“…….”

“Are you saying you’re going to protect the demons? Kyeong-eun…?”

“What I want to protect is…”

He raises his spear.

Yes, they won’t listen if you just persuade them with words.

So what I have to do now is.

“You can’t get over me.”

Miriam will trample and crush every move you can muster and enforce my will.

“Get rid of it!”

Rush towards the charging soldiers.

Are all these of no use?

The soldier fell because of the punch I swung, and the knight could not overcome me.

The magic of illusion deceived me, but it doesn’t work on me under the sun’s protection.

“Get out of there!”

Roho, who lost the monsters he had tamed, rushes in with only a sword. The silver spear, overflowing with jet-black aura, was cut with a sword.

The sword is cut and passes by Roho, who is devastated, and deflects the ax wielded by Pergia with his Rakshasa.

“Tsk…!”

Just hit it and throw it away. A first-class knight wouldn’t fall to this level, but…

“Miram…!”

Run.

The core of their suicide operation. A snake wizard who can hold infinite snake eggs.

“Corrin Locke…!”

A venomous gaze filled with hatred turned towards me.

Dress headdress… The poisonous snakes with hidden secrets all raised their maws. But… poison doesn’t work on me.

“Kuh…!”

One foot of Miriam’s staff, which supported her, turned into a snake.

The snake in her secret. ‘The baby snake of Midgard Oreum’. It is a poisonous snake that can kill even gods when it becomes an adult.

But I’m faster. It would be quicker for me to knock her down and secure her than for that staff to turn into a full snake and bite me.

The silver spear flashed.

“I love you Corin.”

“…….”

Of course, I couldn’t stab him.

I knew it from the beginning.

* * * *

Can’t win.

Corin Locke closes the gap between himself and me so easily.

The spear I am holding will dig into my arms.

Is it impossible to win?

Am I ultimately unable to achieve this because I am blocked by this man?

Fate showed me a future with Leah Pal, but why…

“Huh?”

An uncharacteristically blank voice.

The pain I expected did not come, but instead only warmth enveloped my entire body.

The warmth of people, not the chilly dawn breeze.

I slowly open my tightly closed eyes.

“……kyung?”

He was hugging himself. The spear is gone from his hand, as if he never intended to stab it in the first place.

Instead, he was bitten by a snake with such venom that snakes are said to kill even gods.

“……why.”

Surely he could have stabbed me.

Much faster than animals. But why?

“I… I will do everything…”

The voice of the knight who had confidently boasted as if he would destroy everything I had as an enemy.

“Let’s stop here. I don’t think this is right…”

His voice was unprecedentedly weak, and even his confidence had disappeared.

“Let’s just… finish here, okay?”

“I am I…”

The words “Why…” are directed at him, not at oneself.

why.

Why are you like this?

“You stupid woman… I told you to wait.”

The future shown by Lia Pal.

You can see the man’s back, which was full of regret and resentment. What did I reply to him?

“Mir… Mir… let’s just stop here… we can do that. We can end it here…”

This foolish man, who had prepared so meticulously for the present, yet so laxly relied on my good intentions in the end…

“Let go of this…”

I can’t shake it off.

I felt like I was broken and couldn’t escape the warm embrace.

You have to get out. I must escape from this comforting embrace. If you can’t escape on your own… you can even rely on the power of Leah’s arm!

“‘Isn’t this my destiny’——!?”

“Cough… Hehe, that’s right. But… I couldn’t do that. My child… I wanted to have one. Mom… I’m sorry. I’m sorry…”

“Huh?”

kid?

“……I love you.”

After finally achieving my long-held wish and losing everything.

“You were my destiny. “It was too late for me to realize it, but…”

I am confessing my regrets.

As if to warn you that this is your ‘fate’ if you go forward.

It shows a man who looks like he is crying while embracing a cold body.

The fate of the future was cruel and vague.
