I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 253
Tates Balthazar (2)
[Rain God’s Hammer Mjolnir]
Strikes down the Thunder God’s hammer.
It is the greatest weapon in mythology. The legendary Shinjo Sergeant.
“Marie…!”
[Alchemy Magic – Multi-Shield Blood and Snow Barrier]
At Erin’s instructions, a surging ice barrier blocks the lightning strike from the front.
-Pakakak!
However, the hardest ice is helplessly collapsing. When the defenses are broken, the giant Wicker Man burns the sacrifice.
Flames pouring out from the Spirit King of Fire. Hwaran steps forward against the compressed firepower.
-Quaaaaa!
An overwhelming flame challenging that absolute defense. Even Hwaran is pushed back by the flames pouring out from the Phantom Beast, known as the king of spirits.
“Tsk…!”
It’s simple, but it has the firepower to push back even the Dutch. This causes the walls to collapse and the city to burn.
The overwhelming firepower that a single human cannot withstand is withstood by the world’s strongest Auror who has reached a special level.
“Good job!”
Arisha Aden jumps through the black space while firepower is concentrated.
She is a sword demon. The limitations of space are meaningless from her perspective.
Boundary eye. Eyes that see through dimensional gaps. In her eyes, she sees the main body of the Spirit King curled up in the Wicker Man’s flames.
[Aden-style one-sword area cutting]
Wicker Man’s World Tree shell has no meaning to her sword, which penetrates any defense. Yes, if it was just the shell.
『 ᚱ 』 ── Raido
“Rune on the shell?”
A trap in preparation for Arisha’s area breakthrough, which is close to dimensional leap. The rune that was revealed the moment she cut into the Wicker Man’s shell repelled her.
“Aaaah…!”
Arisha rolling on the ground, more specifically on the surface of the World Tree. In the space where she was thrown out, a huge snake sticks out its tongue.
-Hee hee! Has the prey rolled in?
Doon Skies. A collection of tens of thousands of snakes, toads, and magical cow dragons. The King of Beasts bared his fangs at Arisha.
A huge icicle flying towards her. It pierced the mouth of Skys where it was placed and caused bleeding.
-Kihihi…! Wizard!
“This is not the end.”
Marie Dunareff. An archmage who has received the blessing of mana gathers tremendous magical power and completes a magic spell.
[Great Blood Technique – Crimson Spear] Its
size cannot even be compared to a large ice icicle. No matter how skilled Skys are, it would be dangerous to be hit by magic on this scale.
“That doesn’t work.”
A boxer with an afro. The warrior who crawls up from the dead throws a high-speed punch towards Marie.
“Kyaoooooo…!”
“hmm…!”
However, a red tow blocks their path. Deokgu appeared from the shadows to protect his mother and blocked Permak’s fist.
“…I saw him once before he died, but he’s quite strong.”
“Krrrr……”
But the technique is still clumsy. Maybe it’s because I’m young. It was the moment when Permac knocked Deokgu down with a boxing technique that Deokgu could not respond to and was about to attack Marie in an instant.
-Quarring…!
A large amount of magical power blooms from Deokgu’s body. The magical power accumulated by absorbing the blood of Marie and Corin is expressed as magic.
“They even use magic…!”
Permak temporarily retreats due to the pouring firepower. Erin’s spear aimed at his back.
[Five evil and great righteousness] A surprise
attack aimed at a student’s unique opportunity. It is something I learned from my teacher.
“Wow… you’re still fighting a bit, youngest.”
It was a surprise attack so perfect that Permac could not react, but it was Ohad’s magic sword of victory, Fragarach, that stopped it.
“Swing it around.”
Energy like a storm erupting from the magic sword attacks Erin. Even as she retreated, she did not stop giving instructions.
“Estelle.”
“In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit…!”
FULL OPEN IMPACT──!!]
The club wielded by the pink-haired saint set off a wave that took away the sound of the world.
‘It’s strong…’
Those who watched it were astonished.
It’s worth it.
It is no exaggeration to say that each and every one of them is a top-tier, strongest class.
More than ten people are involved in such things.
This battlefield is the battleground of the world’s greatest and strongest fighting creatures.
A mythic war where the strongest forces are intertwined.
It’s not a human fight.
This… this was not a human fight at all.
“But why…”
I look at the sky.
The soldiers and the world’s inhabitants stared into space far away from the ground, trembling in fear.
In that distant universe, a huge fight was beginning that would make even this fight seem ridiculous.
light and sun.
The great forces were now colliding.
“Corrin…”
The magic sword swings at Erin, who inadvertently turns her gaze to the heat of the light.
“Are you worried, youngest?”
“Ohad…!”
Two people competing with each other while blocking with silver spears. Meanwhile, Ohad smiled humorlessly.
“Didn’t I tell you that even this fight between us is ultimately a fight between the supporting actors? As for the real protagonists, the revival of Shinhwa begins there and it will end with those two.”
“…….”
Erin couldn’t deny it.
The main players of this era are not them, but those two.
Tates Balthazar and Corin Locke.
The strangely intertwined fates are not just fate, but even the karma of the world can be felt.
“I will win. My student.”
“Hehehe well. The man who is currently discussing the creation of the world is stronger than you can imagine.”
The two are confident.
He said that his future generations, his students… would lead to victory in this mythical war.
* * * *
“Player?”
Corin stiffens at the words that came out of the guy’s mouth. It’s worth it.
player.
A word that refers to the main character of the game [The Legend of Arhan Heroes].
There may be fancier expressions, but their proper nouns are not something humans in this world can know.
Well, unless you know that this world is a game.
“No way… you too?”
“That can’t be possible. I’m a pureblood. I’m not an outsider like you.”
Outsider.
It was clear what the expression meant.
He knows that Corin is not a human from this world.
So how? How does this man know of the player’s existence?
“It looks like you got hurt before that, so eat this.”
Swish! and catches an object that draws a parabola in the air. I trembled when I saw it held in my palm.
“…What’s the point?”
“I don’t want to fight with all my might against the injured guy. It will be good for healing wounds. Oh, did you say that in your terminology, it fills up HP to full?”
Corin was astonished when he saw the ‘fruit’ in his hand. The issue is not whether
the 「World Tree Fruit」
fully fills HP and MP. It was only an additional meaning.
Golden Mandragora The fruit of the Korean wild ginseng world tree.
The ability is an increase in auror level and a significant increase in auror amount and recovery.
“I’m giving you something so I guess I’ll eat it well.”
Corin chewed the fruit of the World Tree without hesitation.
[You have consumed the fruit of the World Tree.]
-Auror level increases. Aura Rating { Special }
– Aura amount increases significantly. { (25130) }
-Aura recovery amount increases significantly.
-HP is restored to 100%.
-Aura is restored to 100%.
-MP is recovered by 100%.
‘The effect is amazing.’
Indeed, the three great elixirs. Originally, it was an elixir to be obtained during the course of conquering the World Tree, but it was easily ingested due to the kindness of the enemy.
“Do you have any doubts?”
Tates was staring at Corin, who was calmly eating the fruit after holding it in his hand. Corrin shrugged.
“I don’t see him as someone who would do such a shameless thing.”
“Ha…! Me too, but you are also crazy.”
“Tell me you’re a romanticist. Instead, tell me a story while you warm up.”
Tates laughed at Corrin’s attitude and looked around. Tens of kilometers above. From atop a tree branch that was almost like a huge piece of ground, he looked down on the planet and the world.
“Isn’t it a nice view? It’s a good stage to announce the revival of myth.”
“Stop saying things that only you know.”
“Well, surprisingly, if you think about it, it’s not much of a story. The [Legend of the Arhan Heroes] you guys know was just a filter.”
“…….”
He slowly and coolly revealed the truth about the world.
“The world made a ‘bet’ on me. If you are the one who will destroy the world, you must fight the one who will save the world and win. That was the qualification to become the new god who will rule the world.”
The Legend of Arhan Heroes was a ‘warrior selection system’ created and distributed for him.
The opponent is the one who clears it most efficiently and with the highest score.
“I was forced into a fight worthy of myth rebirth.”
“Fuck… I can’t keep up.”
[The Legend of Arhan Heroes], which I thought was a game, was actually not a game?
Was it a filter to select players?
“Wait you guys?”
“Yes, I guess I should say ‘Park Si-Hoo’ more accurately? Of course, the guys who controlled the player’s fate and monopolized all the hidden pieces and talents all had stupid powers, but…” A look of disappointment as he recalled the past
. Tates cannot hide it.
“They were all weak. Isn’t that natural? It seems like they were just kids who fell off one day, easily gained superhuman strength, and just followed their fate.”
With a mocking grin, he revealed a shocking truth.
“The guys who easily gained power are decidedly inferior as fighters. The 99th Park Si-hoo was a masterpiece among them… but he was someone worth looking at.”
“No way…”
“Yes. The first time you possessed me. For me, it was the 99th Park Si-hoo.”
Sihoo… Park Sihoo from the previous episode is the 99th? That means…
“You… knew the whole future?”
The day Erin Danua was scheduled to be murdered. Tates Balthazar did not move during the Academy collapse incident.
I avoided enough traps and the first part of Balthazar’s strategy, the ‘Precepts Strategy’.
What about frost giants? He, who would not have come forward originally, showed up ahead of time.
Besides that, there were many questions about his actions. He did not even punish the traitor Miriam.
As he was trying to destroy this world, he had to consider the most efficient and thorough approach… but he always did not consider rationality.
“The reason I didn’t participate in the Academy collapse incident…”
“Until now, I’ve set you up for a trap, but I wanted to fight with all my might, Corin Locke.”
He calmly said that even being attacked by the precepts was just a formality.
Corin felt a great feat and intimidation from the meaning of those words.
Player number 99. 99 destruction of the world.
Repeating the fate of 99 times, clearly observing the plans and preparations of the player who knows the future, and even being attacked by the precepts that undermine my strength…
This man, this man… I am here after 99 victories. there is.
The hundredth player was in front of him.
“But today is the last day. Lia Pal, who reads the world’s fate, has recognized you as my opponent. This means that if I defeat you, this long fight will end.”
“…It’s an overestimation. Park Si-hoo in the previous episode was definitely much stronger than me.”
“You probably don’t realize how empty that ‘strength’ is, right? Among the people you’ve fought so far, were there any weaker than you?”
Marie Dunareff,
Hwaran, Permac,
Danman,
Dun Skies.
………
………
. ……..
Yes, there were a mountain of guys stronger than me, but none of them could beat me. Being
strong and winning are two different things.
“But even if I lose… you will fail. There is no way you can defeat those I brought with you by yourself—─”
“You seem to be mistaken, but I am at a level where I can somehow destroy this world on my own.” “…….”
”
Why would this world bet on me? You think you did it? Why did they try to bring in an external ‘warrior’ to fight them? That’s because in this world alone, I can’t defeat the ‘Devil King’.”
“Fuck, yes, you’re great.”
Corin honestly admitted.
Regardless of numbers, scale, or strength, this man is ‘different.’
Just making the light disappear from the entire world in the first place was enough of a deviation from the standard.
Without light, plants wouldn’t grow. Not growing plants would cause world-wide starvation.
If this man had his way, it would be easy to starve the world to death.
“There are many ways to destroy the world. But a myth cannot be regenerated simply by destroying it.”
“You are saying that you must receive the world’s recognition after a suitable fight.”
“That is it, my nemesis.”
“Haa…”
In the end, The truth was worse than I could have imagined.
‘These bastards really lived and died in Gao.’
I feel dejected as I wonder if I am a similar type of person to be involved with these guys.
“Hey… So if I win this time, will the world be ruined?”
“Well, if you look at it from your point of view, that’s true.”
“… It’s heavy.”
The fate of the world truly rests on his shoulders.
Unlike the 99 Park Si-hoos, failure is not acceptable to him.
Too much of a burden was placed on a sub-player who could not even become a supporting player named Corin Locke.
“In the end, nothing changes. . If I hit you here, everything will be fine.”
“Yes, no matter what, the conclusion is simple. All you have to do is win.”
There was no hatred or anger in his gaze. Fear did not exist, as if it was natural.
Rather, there was welcome and even a refreshing friendliness.
But Corin knew. Unlike that gaze, there was a man named Tates Balthazar in his heart. They have the ferocity of a wild beast.
Surprisingly, the same goes for Corin Locke. The two of them have a temper so strange that they could kill each other while laughing.
The two of them are more alike than they think.
“Then, shall we get started?”
[ World backup begins. Review of precepts.]

window.
Now, it is just precepts and it doesn’t matter.
Magic, hidden pieces, all of them are just ingredients for fighting.
Risking the fate of the world,
we advance towards our archenemy.
“”Let’s fight.””
