I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 61
[ Sevancia Duke (1) ]
Sevancia Duke, whom I met in the Great Library, was an incorporeal spirit that possessed Lark’s body.
I only saw it as a black, flaccid figure in the game, but this is my first time seeing Sevancia Duke in real life.
“Duke Sevancia. Is that right?”
“That’s right. What is your name?”
“Corin Locke. A long way off my junior.”
“Hmm… Hou-Dae is not bad. He is a general-purpose person.”
“The evaluation is better than at the library?”
At that time, they said I was too weak. Now it has reached a general purpose level.
“Have you seen my soul?”
“That’s right. What I’m curious about is this. How can you speak normally when your soul and body are separated?”
“I ask the questions.”
Sebancia Duke gradually approaches. First of all, I have a spear in my hand… but honestly, I want to avoid being hostile towards this man.
A legendary great man.
Hero Sevancia Duke.
I don’t know, but it was the strongest at the time, so even if you set the minimum price, it would be a semi-special grade. As long as he is a good hero, he cannot receive any backup commandments other than the first precept.
“The fact that I came here means that my spirit is satisfied and has achieved Buddhahood. I am satisfied.”
“Oh, you want to become Buddha too? You can’t do that!”
“……what are you talking about?”
“Isn’t that what you sent me to give you?”
“You should have already received Grimoire.”
“That’s right….”
Huh? Isn’t this it? Didn’t they give you something else?
“No, Duke. Am I embarrassed if they sent someone all the way and found nothing?”
“What are you saying?”
Sebancia now looks annoyed.
“What do you want? I came through a messenger, so I’ll give you a small reward.”
“Damn it! Did that guy use me as a messenger?!”
To spread the news that he has attained Buddhahood in this castle where his body is sealed?
“First, let’s ask a question.”
“Huh?”
“Wasn’t the body and spirit separated? Why do they look fine?”
“It’s simple. 1% of the soul is left in this cursed body.”
“Is that possible?”
“Isn’t it possible that it exists in front of you now?”
“…Seeing as he even uses the realm of blood, it’s true that he’s Jintong Sevancia Duke.”
The realm of blood is a powerful power granted only to high-ranking vampires.
“Hoo, do you even know this power?”
“What else do you not know?”
“Those who see this power usually die on the spot… I see, that kid…”
“Marie?”
“Hmm, that’s interesting. I can’t believe that a young girl has this much talent… She doesn’t even go out of her way…” “
Is the space where Marie-senpai is in a completely different space?”
“Have you noticed what kind of space this is?”
The area of influence is close to a kind of barrier technique. Blocks external intrusion and prevents internal escape. At the same time, it is a place where special abilities are demonstrated.
This is an ability that boss-level characters often have.
“It seems similar to imaginary space.”
It’s subtly different. Because I’ve seen Madame Josephine’s imaginary space so many times. Mrs. Josephine’s is not like a new space, but closer to being connected to other coordinates.
“It’s not wrong. So… I guess you could say this is my intestines.”
“…Yuck.”
“You’re reacting a little too much.”
Sevancia clicked her tongue when she saw my reaction. At the same time…
-Bang!
A cross sword that is swung in an instant. I reflexively blocked it with the spear, but my body was blown away by the enormous force.
“It looks like you have the basic knowledge to ask for guidance.”
‘It’s heavy…!’
It was a sword swung without any warning. It’s so reckless that it can’t even be called technology. However, the spear that was still sounding sweetly and the stiff arms proved his status.
“It is not a lie that this place is inside my intestines. This castle itself has become me since 800 years ago. So… this body is a special monster.”
“…What do you want to say?”
“It means you are inside the intestines of a vampire. That puny body will digest you in 5 minutes.”
In other words──
“Try to defeat me. If you don’t, the next five minutes will be the highlight of your life.”
“Ha… You seem like a dishonest person.”
I lifted the window. The opponent is the strongest hero from 800 years ago. Additionally, the time limit is tight.
Six chorus (六合槍)
Sixth sum (合) Sura (修羅)
Hit with all your might from the beginning.
* * * *
Marie was out of breath and barely able to support her knees that were about to bend. The blade of harsh language cuts into her.
“You are a mere beast. How can you hope for a human life?”
vampire.
A beast that cannot overcome its impulses and kills people.
“Do you think you are not a beast? Are you confident that you would have overcome it with your own will? You are truly arrogant.”
“It’s not like that!”
[Blood Spear]
Dozens of blood spears rain down on Duke Sebancia. Waves of numbers pour down on individuals.
“That’s corny.”
-Kagak!
“……?!”
Marie twists in shock. Dozens of spilled blood spears were erased with a single word from Sebancia.
“What?”
A state so powerful that the sound itself transmitted through the mouth becomes magic. In other words, the magic that Marie calculated was worse than Sebancia’s language.
“If this is…!”
[Edited article window]
Recycles the moisture that is scattered and leaves behind only water. Alchemizes in an instant and cuts with advanced magic.
The density of magical power of the Crystal Knight’s Spear cannot even be compared to that of the Blood Spear. Even this cannot be destroyed with words.
“It’s the same…!”
-thud!
Sebancia slams into the ground. His advance shook the earth and disrupted the balance of the flat land.
“what…?!”
The earth bounces like a seesaw. The enormous mass of the ground defies gravity like a pot lid and blocks the crystal window.
“Dukgu…!”
-Kung!
Deokgu rising from the shadows. Marie provides firepower, and Deokgu uses the opportunity to charge towards Sebancia.
The moment the blood dog, which instantly turned into a red shell, vigorously tried to split Sebancia in two──
[Spell – Gwae]
“……?!”
Dozens of chains unfolding around Sebancia. Although he was not caught because he stopped with an instinctive movement, the chain did not stop and rushed to capture Deok-gu.
[Alchemy Magic – Multi-Shield]
A shield of soaring magical power. It becomes a wall and blocks the path of the blood chains that follow.
“Now!”
Now that the pursuer has stopped, the blood dog hits the ground.
The body ignores the self-preservation instincts that all living things have.
Even if my entire body is torn apart by my own speed, even if my body is shattered by a brutal hand-to-hand combat… I just collide. Without setting a limit, he easily decides to self-destruct his opponent.
Because it might break anyway. Because this body can be restored at any time.
Because it is an immortal body with infinite life, destructive combat methods are only possible for this monster.
-Boom!
The air exploded and a sonic boom occurred. Incredible physical strength that surpasses that of a human. A hypersonic rush created by the incarnation of magical power.
The enemy reached in 0.7 seconds. Just as I was about to swing my claws, I realized that the guy wasn’t reacting.
He doesn’t have reflexes or physical strength that surpasses his own. Even though this bloodless body is weakened, it cannot block its own attacks.
Eventually, the bad omen of the blood dog reached Sebancia right under her nose——
-Pow!
“??!”
Deok-gu couldn’t believe his eyes for a moment.
-Clud, clack…!
Caught from the front. The moment my nails struck… I stretched out my hand, aiming for an absurd 0.01 second gap, and my hand was blocked like a pod.
Does this make sense? Precognition that has nothing to do with physical strength or reflexes?
I feel déjà vu.
A decisive battle in the forest early on. That’s what I felt from the man who challenged me with only a spear…
“He’s fast. He’s definitely a beast. He easily surpasses the reflexes and physical strength of a human. He’s older than he was in his prime.”
Hands squeezed with grip strength. Deok-gu found the chains securing his feet and tightening his hands.
“But you are clumsily strong. You foolish beast that only pursued strength.”
The vision is reversed. With just a slight clap of palms and footwork, a large figure over 2 meters tall falls over.
[Romania’s Sealed Sword]
-Chuck!
A huge cross sword that penetrates the blood dog from above and nails it to the ground. The blood dog struggled, but could not move as if it were bound by space itself.
“Deokgu, come back!”
Marie hurriedly called Deokgu into her arms. But… it doesn’t come back.
“……?!”
He tried to abandon his physical body and summon only his spiritual body, but Deokgu was still pierced by the cross sword and could not move.
“This sealing sword is a space-binding sword used to seal immortal beings. Your kind’s immortality is meaningless in front of this sword.”
Likewise, two cross swords are fired towards Marie. Marie deployed a barrier for a moment, but even that was easily pierced by the cross sword, lodged in the ground on both sides of Marie.
“Ugh…?!”
The two huge cross swords alone stuffed Marie with them. Marie fell to her knees, unable to control her trembling body due to the pressure coming from the two swords.
‘Simply like this…’
This power… is not an absolutely powerful power. Probably something specific to vampires.
The Sevancia Duke itself in front of you is like that.
Neither the magical power felt from him nor the strength of his body can ever compare to his own.
The other person is a vampire like himself, but he has been sleeping for hundreds of years without sucking a drop of blood.
Sevancia Duke’s body was asleep until the day they arrived. In that case, its power will never be comparable to its prime…
It cannot be defeated.
The blood dog and its owner shared the same sentiment.
An overwhelming battle sense that overturns the specifications. A reading that is close to precognition. Those who have strange talents rather than easy-to-understand powers. Yes, for example──
Hero (England).
Those who overcame all odds, victorious, and became the noble spirit of their times.
People who are something ‘different’. Marie knows one such person.
“……Corin.”
Martial arts as a knight and
Demon as a vampire.
Anything outside the standard. The vampire in front of me was like the hero of 800 years ago.
“Beast. Beast of despair. Are you really confident that you will be able to overcome your impulses in the future? Do you think that man will support you forever?”
Since he himself was a vampire and a hero with a noble spirit, he criticized Marie.
“…….”
Marie couldn’t deny it. This is a question I have always had.
Just because I said I was a demon and got Izzy back… am I really human?
Can you really call yourself human if you cannot live without sucking human blood?
“Die quickly. End that miserable life. An animal is an animal after all.”
Don’t harm humanity and die quietly alone.
sick.
It hurts even more because I don’t think what I said was wrong.
It was a proposition that had tormented her ever since she became a vampire.
A beast that never knows when it might go on a rampage and crave human blood. Corin stopped it that time, but what about next time? If something like that happens again, who will stop you?
Blood vessels become cold.
The pulsating heart slowly stopped.
“Marie-senpai has not changed from past to present.”
“Ah…”
A word the boy said that I thought of without thinking. Those warm words that told me there was no need to deny a part of me made my heart pulsate once again.
“No…”
“What?”
Forcefully raise your knees. The restraint of the cross sword has become stronger, but he stands up from the ground with great force.
“Hoo……”
Even though he was pointed out that he was a blood-lusting beast, he agreed and fell to his knees, but he stood up again with only a hint from the boy.
Ah, I see.
Corin Locke’s presence within me was truly a great presence.
“I… I will never die.”
“…….”
“Corin said it was okay. Then it’s okay.”
“What nonsense…”
The golden eyes become increasingly red. The fresh water-colored hair gradually began to darken, and the pulsating magical power began to take on an intense color.
“If this cross sword… has the power to seal away vampires…!”
Clench your fist. Pure magical power condensed there. The fist, condensed to its limit, swings——
-Bang!
I hit the cross sword and broke it.
“…….”
“It won’t be hard enough to block pure physical force.”
“Interesting. A wizard who swings his fists.”
“I…! I’m a child of a farm family!”
It was a statement that anyone who knew the Dunareff family would have wholeheartedly tackled. However, the toughness typical of a country girl is Marie’s hidden characteristic.
“So? Just because you got rid of two sealing swords, do you think you have a chance of victory?”
Numerous cross swords are deployed behind Sebancia’s back. Their numbers and momentum cannot even be compared to before.
“The odds of winning are irrelevant. We have to win.”
[Great Blood Technique – Crimson Spear]
Marie squeezes blood and magic to create the ultimate one. It is Marie’s secret magic that once killed even the King of Cheolsan.
“So get out of the way. I have to go get Corrin.”
Dozens of cross swords attack Marie. A huge spear rushes towards this wave of swords. The sealing swords of anti-vampire specifications collided with the ultimate one, and the world turned red.
………….
…………
……
“Hmm…….”
Duke Sevancia said On rare occasions, he let out a sigh of admiration.
“Your talent as a vampire is certainly great.”
Waves of countless cross swords. The Crimson Spear turned the water on the space that had become unstoppable.
A window of disparity that scatters and blows away even the space binding. This is proof of the talent she has.
The magic power that responds just by wishing for it is the blessing of Mana. The fact that such a child can concentrate the power of heterogeneous blood into one energy is evidence of a natural vampire.
“I admit it, Marie Dunareff. You have talent. That’s why you’re more dangerous.”
What kind of disaster will a vampire with this level of talent cause when the reins are released?
That’s why I wanted to stuff it in this castle like myself. Even if this body dies in the process.
I thought it was a cheap price to pay if I could bury the seeds of disaster with just this battered body.
“Ugh…”
Duke Sebancia approached Marie, who had fallen down in a mess.
Even after wielding such power, the winner in the end was Sevancia Duke. It was a glimpse of the power shown by the strongest hero of his time.
Sevancia looked down at the vampire girl in front of her. For a vampire, he is an infantile vampire who is only one year old.
Nevertheless, not only the number of districts but also the region is used. At this point, he is already at Elder level… If he continues to steadily gain experience and strength, it is worth aiming for Lord status.
It becomes an absolute being that can concentrate the worst demonic nature of a vampire.
“Originally, it should have been sealed like this, but…”
The girl’s red eyes had not yet acknowledged defeat. I still intend to fight.
It is interesting that the circumstances of the action were not his own. During the fight, the fragments of memory that she ‘looked into’ as a higher-ranking vampire than her were clearly…
‘I overcame the first vampire impulse and stopped it on my own. ‘Is that possible?’
This was the reason that made Sebancia hesitate. In the end… I decided to take a break after seeing that boy who was a spearman.
“It’s incredible power. As far as talent goes, it’s unprecedented. However, there’s a lot of waste in power. It’s a typical case of clumsy command and relying only on destructive power.”
“…Are you trying to teach me something?”
“No, unlike that brat spearman, you are running towards completion. What you need is time. Eventually, it will be completed on its own.”
It seems that Sevancia Duke changed his mind about sealing himself.
Marie stood up awkwardly, unable to keep up with the sudden change in her partner.
“Then take me to where Corinne is…”
“The man’s heart has already stopped.”
It was a declaration that made my heart pound.
