I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 33
[ Arisha Arden (2)]
John Doe, the murderer of Fog City, is a warlock. It’s also a very poor quality corpse messenger.
Why is he called the Knight Slayer? This is because he kills knights who are superhumans and uses their corpses in order to use their powerful corpses.
The method of subduing personal magicians such as golem magicians, necromancers, and elemental magicians is simple.
All you have to do is subdue the wizard himself, who is the subject of the magic. All you have to do is break the ritual of passing, whether it’s fainting or something else.
The problem is that it is nearly impossible to use this method only for John Doe.
“Let’s stick together. Have each other’s backs and be on guard on all sides.”
“What are you…”
Mr. Hanson, who was about to say something, “What are you,” shut his mouth when he saw the heads of the undead knights skewered like skewers on my spear.
“What if we come together and even magic comes? At that point, there will be mass destruction.”
On the other hand, the party leader, wizard Charlie, asked common sense questions.
“No, the only corpses he can work with are knights. It’s not that difficult if you prepare your formation and respond.”
“Do you know anything about him?”
“It’s hot these days. The murderer of the city of fog.”
“…!”
“That most wanted criminal!”
John Doe’s trait ‘Fog’ is the trait of hiding oneself in fog.
This is not just a concept of hiding, but a level of becoming the fog itself. It is a perfect hiding that transcends dimensions and melts its own body within the boundary.
This is why it is difficult to catch a magician. If the situation arises, all you have to do is move the fog and run away.
Who can chase the aircraft?
The downside is that while this fog is maintained, it cannot use any magic other than ministry.
There is no way corpses could replace magic that requires advanced computing power. Therefore, there are wizard undead in this fog, but that is a fake to disperse the target. It’s just a land mine to activate ‘Crimson Haze’ that he planted inside the corpse.
-chuck! Click!
Before I knew it, armored knights and monsters began to surround me. Mr. Charlie raised his cane.
“I’m going to hit the big one!”
A fireball deployed at high speed through Memorize. It shoots towards a group of undead.
-Quaang!
Several knights who caught the flying fireball without even thinking about dodging were swept away, and now the undead are rushing in without any delay.
“Come on you idiots!”
Armor and cold weapons collide and chunks of flesh are torn off. Since the undead cannot handle aurors and magic, they are superior in combat power, except for numerical superiority.
“Arisha’s ‘eyes.’ Can you use them?”
“…I’m sorry.”
Before she knew it, the twisted corners of her mouth lowered and she returned to her usual sullen appearance.
“Let’s protect people from these guys. There’s no need to hesitate. Those aren’t people.”
“Four four…!”
If Alicia’s ‘Boundary Eye’ works properly, she won’t be able to compete with someone like John Doe, but that will be difficult.
Activating the boundary means recognizing the territory, and that is Alisha’s trauma.
It cannot be used unless you progress through her character’s scenario.
Even if you take that away, Arisha is strong enough.
“Bake…!”
An armored knight rushing towards you while screaming. There are too many gaps to be a sword raised high.
-Sigh!
Arisha will not lose to such undead. Aside from his visual acuity, he is basically a prosecutor with good eyesight.
[Adenryu One Sword Jinah]
The undead trying to swing the weapon collapses before completing the movement. Exactly the vulnerable part of the cervical spine was cut off.
“Bake!”
An undead knight running towards you while screaming. The top was empty due to lack of reason. Alisha took a stabbing stance and held the back of the knife with her left hand.
[Aden-style one-sword iron blow]
-Blow!
The piece of flesh pierced by the fierce penetrating sword exploded like fragments of a grenade.
“Wow…”
The party members exclaim in admiration. Although overshadowed by Runia Aden, Arisha Aden is also called a genius.
Their physical strength and swordsmanship cannot be matched by undead scoundrels who have lost their wits. Above all else──
“Huh… Huh…!”
The corner of Alisha’s mouth twitches every time she takes a tired breath. In the end, slaughter is also an area of talent. As soon as the shell surrounding our innate nature begins to peel away, our true nature is revealed.
“…….”
“…….”
The party members seemed to be overwhelmed and lost for words by Alisha’s atmosphere, which was completely different from the beginning.
“Let’s not scatter and cut them down steadily. They are the type of people who will run away if they don’t think it’s going to work.”
A party that steadily cuts down the incoming undead. As expected, it is not ‘directly’ controlled and the movements are slow.
Now, how long will it take for him to react and come this way?
The heads of the undead stuck in the silver spears were skewered to look delicious. A kind of showoff. Additionally, it is a way to prevent him from retrieving the body.
Surprisingly, the undead don’t move without their heads.
“Oh, I heard someone was the one who messed with my laboratory.”
A gloomy old man’s voice rings out in the fog. come.
“What? Where is the voice coming from?”
“Find it! The magician is nearby!”
It is a meaningless search. Because the voice is echoing throughout the fog, not from any one direction.
“It’s useless, it’s just ignorant, ignorant things. I am the one who pursues the truth. Yours—─”
“Skip the intro.”
Runes engraved on the hilt of a silver spear. Sowilo is activated.
A window that radiates intense heat in an instant. When I swung the spear widely, the same heat and light emanated from all directions.
“What!?”
“What? Did John Doe use magic?”
It’s a reasonable response. But even John Doe, the only wizard in this fog, would be embarrassed.
Just now, that was resonance triggered by a ‘rune stone’. A silver spear forged using old-fashioned methods that is friendly to rune magic. This is the method used by the ‘boss character’ in the game.
Use a spear to engrave runes here and there and resonate and manifest them at the same time.
The preparation period is long and annoying, and it consumes a lot of mana, but it only takes 1 second to activate.
It can be activated much faster than high-speed techniques supported by the trait Memorize.
If you prepare for a long time and have enough time, you can instantly display firepower comparable to that of anti-magic.
“Nenooom….”
An angry voice comes from the fog. But the voice is fainter than before.
“Sunlight is fatal to the undead. That’s why we spread the fog to block the light.”
If you are in the heat that has the nature of the sun like this, the combat power of the undead drops drastically. If it weren’t for the knight-level undead, it would have disappeared long ago.
“You’re showing off some tricks, kid. Do you think you can swallow my fog with your vulgar magic power?”
No way. It is enough to dispel some of the fog and slow down the undead. As intended, the device emerged from the thinning fog.
“Mr. Corrin! Over there!”
Where Alisha pointed. There, I saw a doll in the form of a typical wizard.
“Is that guy John Doe!”
“Charlie! Blow it away!”
At that moment, Mr. Charlie launched a fireball, but the Guardian blocked it. Due to the ignorant hand-to-hand defense, the fireball only burned the wrong guardian.
“I am…!”
“are you okay.”
This guy is a fake unit. The moment you defeat it, ‘Crimson Haze’ comes.
Anyway, we have to get out of this phase, so we have to destroy that guy to end this event. The fifth chorus
of the six choirs
is Goesan.
-bang!
A silver spear flew like a meteor. The undead knights moved slowly to block it with their bodies, but they could not block the silver spear soaked in the heat of the sun.
-Kwasik!
A silver spear pierces the wizard’s torso in one fell swoop and sinks into the floor. You can also see the wizard’s body burning sizzling from here.
“Did you kill it!”
Mr. Charlie chanted a resurrection spell.
“It’s pretty good. “You broke my doll.”
“……!?”
If you fall here, it can’t be the boss at the beginning.
The wizard doll I just smashed in Goesan is a device that creates fog. It is an undead that uses the corpse of a wizard.
The reason it’s so difficult to catch is because it uses those dolls to avoid tracking. The real body is assimilated into the fog, so it is impossible to find it.
“I’ll call it a day. “I look forward to seeing you again.
” Typical see you later line. Then it’s time for a flight pattern to emerge.
-Chieeeeek!
As soon as he finished speaking, a red mist began to pour out from the corpse of the wizard pierced by the spear.
[Crimson Haze]
A deadly fog that automatically explodes when the HP of the wizard undead, which is the fog generator, reaches 0.
As soon as it touches, it takes away control of the opponent’s blood. Simply put, it sucks up HP rapidly.
In the last episode, several soldiers died in less than 10 seconds. Even a knight can hold out for a long time if he can hold out for a few minutes.
“Let’s everything fly! Just by looking at that fog, you think it’s going to be a disaster if it touches you, right?”
“Uh uh… I see so!”
“run!”
The party members immediately understood what I was saying and ran immediately. Alisha hesitated for a moment, but ran after me.
“Mr. Corrin. Is it okay if I don’t retrieve the spear?”
It looked expensive…
“It’s okay.”
I immediately activated the rune of return engraved on the window. Then, the spear stuck in the undead wizard responded to my call, traversed the air and returned to my grasp.
“Wow… you made something amazing.”
Alicia is impressed. But the crisis is not over. This is because Crimson Haze is rapidly attacking us.
“Ugh!”
Did you lack regular exercise? The wizard Charlie tripped over a tree root on an unpaved forest path and fell.
“Mr. Charlie!”
Alisha and I stopped at the same time and ran towards him. However, perhaps because of the difference in physical abilities, Alisha arrived first.
“Take my hand!”
“Oh what! Thanks… avoid it!”
“Yes…? Ouch!”
A red hand leaps out from the red mist. The hand of that creepy shape grabbed Alicia, who had come to rescue Charlie.
[The fog spell]
“Huh?”
Alisha is dragged away.
“Charlie! Get up and run!”
“What! What about you?”
“Don’t worry about us, get out of the forest! And give me your robe!”
“Huh?!”
After getting Charlie up, cut the seam of the robe he was wearing and quickly retrieve it. I entered Crimson Haze without hesitation.
“Hey!”
I entered Crimson Haze despite his dissuasion. At the same time, the skin all over my body was torn and blood was drawn out.
“I didn’t think I would do it twice!”
In the previous episode, I lost my footing and got stuck in this fog. It only lasted less than a minute, but that alone put me in a near-death state.
Now that it has the ability to regenerate, it will last much longer than that. The problem is Alicia.
Unlike me, who has level 2 regenerative abilities, Alisha doesn’t have anything like that. I wouldn’t be able to last even 2 minutes on my own.
Arisha was dragged to a fairly deep place.
“Arisha!”
“Ugh, cut it off! Cut it off!”
Arisha was caught unable to break away the red hand that was holding her. He is in a state of panic due to the restraint magic that has tightly held him and his life force being drained in real time.
Blood is already being drawn from all over the body. It won’t last long.
-Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you I you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you
to
to by you to by the undead knights to. Someone has to stop them.
“Mr. Corrin… this thing won’t break. I… Please save me. “I feel like I’m going to die
if I keep going like this.” Alisha cried, shedding tears. It’s hard to get used to the risk of death no matter how many times you experience it, so this would be a natural reaction for someone her age. I covered Alisha with the robe I brought from Charlie. Area of skin
exposed. This will buy us time as this decreases.
“Mr. Ko Corin…?”
“Calm down, Alisha Arden. You can’t just randomly hit things like that. Concentrate properly and cut with all your might. It’s easy. All you have to do is stay calm.”
“But…”
“I will protect you from the undead from now on. “You know what to do, right?”
“I’m not strong enough. The fog makes me dizzy. It hurts.”
“Arisha. Arisha…!”
“Hibb…!”
I ran into Alisha covered in a robe. I wiped away the tears flowing from her shaking black eyes and said,
“You can do it. You can do better than what you’re doing now.”
“Mr. Corrin?”
“Keep cutting. Keep cutting. All you can think about is cutting this spell that has a hold on you. Don’t think about anything else. I’ll protect you, so you only think about one thing.”
“But… my hands feel like they’re burning! “I don’t have much strength in my hands…”
“You have the most genius talent among the swordsmen I know. You can do it if you want to. It’s one step. Arisha Aden. One step is enough.”
With those words, I grabbed hold of the spear.
I believe it.
You can cut just that much.
* * * *
It hurts. It’s hot.
The blood drawn out from every tiny hole in the skin is horrifying. .
The smell is as strong as iron, like when you cut someone for the first time. The
blood-red palm formed in the red fog sticks to you like a magnet and won’t let go. You can cut as many thin arms as you want.
Swing the sword and cut it off, and that’s it. .
-Thump!
Uh….
It bounced.
The yam sword, which was said to be able to cut anything, couldn’t even cut through this magic and bounced back.
Was it not strong enough? Once again!
-Thump!
No, no. Auror. Hey. I didn’t have enough aurors…
-Tung!
Posture? I didn’t have enough posture! I held my posture properly…
I realized something was wrong, but I don’t know where to start to fix it. What was wrong? I don’t know if it
‘s done. Why doesn’t it cut?
Why does the sword bounce back?
It’s strange. It’s strange!
Meanwhile, the effect of the magic tightens every moment. When the blood vessels in my eyes burst and the blood dripping like tears, despair lingered in my head. Ah
. I shouldn’t have saved him.
I shouldn’t have come to
help him. At that moment, I thought of my benefactor. I remembered the moment when he had thrown himself to save me and had made an antidote for me, who was whining from the paralyzing poison, and had blown on it.
That person had to burn his wounds with fire. I was injured to that extent…
I willingly gave up my arm to help myself, who was whimpering in pain to stop the bleeding.
I didn’t want to be a shameful person to him. I wanted to be a person who would willingly throw my body for someone else.
But then… I can’t believe it. I can’t believe
I regretted it so quickly and burst into tears.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry. Something like me… wasn’t worth saving from someone like you…
“Arisha!”
The boy came to save me. To save me. Without hesitation, I ran into this fog of death.
You can’t. You can’t. Run away.
I can’t last long here either. How can you survive here when your Auror level is lower than mine?
“Mr. Corrin… this thing won’t break. Please… please save me. I think I’m going to die at this rate.”
But what came out of my mouth was the exact opposite, and this was my truth.
Stupid bitch.
Selfish Alisha.
A cowardly idiot.
I should have told you to run away. I should have told you to leave me behind. How can you tell that person to quit when you couldn’t quit either?
-Lots!
It was then. Corin put a robe over me while I was crying ungainly.
“Mr. Corrin…?”
“Calm down, Arisha Aden. You can’t just strike like that. Concentrate properly and cut with all your might. It’s easy. All you have to do is stay calm.”
“But…”
A deep voice that I think I’ve heard before somewhere. Why did I come up with that thought now?
“I will protect you from the undead from now on. You know what to do, right?”
Only then did I witness the undead slowly walking through the fog. These are things I couldn’t see due to my blurred vision due to the rush.
Are you going to protect me here? alone? No matter how much stronger you are than me… in this red fog? why?
“I have no strength. I’m dizzy because of the fog. It hurts.”
They risk their lives for me, but all I can say is this.
Squeezing because it hurts because it’s scary. I can’t even keep up with this boy, let alone my benefactor.
Because I’m such an idiot, I can’t even make a fuss in front of Runia because I’m half a penny.
“Arisha. Arisha!”
“Hibb…!”
The boy said while holding my shoulder and wiping away the tears I shed in a tense situation.
“You can do it. You can do it better than what you’re doing now.”
“Mr. Corrin?”
“Keep cutting. Keep cutting. Just think about cutting out this magic that has a hold on you. Don’t think about anything else. I’m going to protect you, so you only think about one thing.”
“But… I feel like my hands are burning! I can’t get any strength out of them…” ”
You have the most genius talent among the swordsmen I know. If you want to do it, you can do it. . One step. Arisha Aden. One step is enough.”
With those words, the boy held up a dazzlingly shining silver spear. They turned their backs on me and confronted the undead.
didn’t abandon me
“…….”
If you go away like that, you really have to do it. I’m not confident. I will fail.
Buried in low self-esteem and endless self-doubt.
「Lack of easy practice relying on talent.」
Yes, I have been lazy all this time. I’ve never even tried anything.
From the day I first cut down a person… my sword has stood still.
I’m such an ugly person, so why…
“But you have better talent.”
Did he blindly believe in my talent without hesitation while comparing me to my sister?
“You can do it.”
“Sigh…!”
I grabbed the sword, swallowing the hot tears flowing down my face.
Suddenly, the word ‘giving up’ disappeared from my mind. There was no time to even think negatively.
There is someone who believes in me.
There are people who saved me and there are people who are trying to save me.
My benefactor, Corin, planted it in me.
Have faith in yourself.
Hold the handle and insert the cool blade into the sheath.
Grandfather’s Big Story. The world’s best sword. This sword cuts through everything. So… there is something needed for this. I know.
Boundary eye.
A cursed talent that forces you to see an area.
I am alone in this darkness.
I feel like I’m alone in the world.
A pitch-black sea that makes you feel as if you will fall into it if you lose your footing.
Because I am afraid of the darkness I will see through these eyes. Because I knew that if I drowned in a bottomless ocean, no one would help me…
Up until now, I was afraid to even open my eyes.
──────
The world stops.
In extreme concentration… I can’t even hear the sound of blood dripping.
A cold, lonely world. I shivered from the chill brought on by the low tide encroaching beneath my feet.
Are you alone?
Am I…alone here?
Just as I was about to be swept away by the waves, I made eye contact with someone.
Corin Locke.
He was holding a spear in front of me and looking this way.
You are not alone.
You are standing in the same world as me.
coward.
Stupid idiot.
Mojiri can barely move his feet when someone stands with him.
I finally see it.
Face it for the first time.
Witness the foreign matter of the world, embrace the darkness, and face the boundaries.
The flowing tears, dripping blood, and overflowing emotions… became fuel for one step in a still world.
-Hahahaha.
A figure appeared in the fog. The ugly old evil was smiling evilly at the two sacrifices.
“It’s just one step. Arisha Aden. “One step is enough.”
I take my first step in the black sea. One complete step.
Aden-style one-sword (one sword), area cutting.
Ignoring the restrictions of the material, the sword swung in the area── ──cut
the main sword,
cut through the red fog, and
cut together all the ugly things that had dissolved in the fog.
