I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 62
[ Sevancia Duke (2) ]
Spears are rushing in.
A sharp spear strike.
The sharp stab that suppresses the point is the spear of Sura, which has defeated many evil enemies so far.
-Kang!
“nice…!”
However, it is Corin Locke who retreats even after attacking. Even during the course of the duel, which exceeded dozens of sums from earlier, the positions of the two did not change.
Sevancia Duke, holding a huge cross-shaped greatsword, was motionless like an iron fortress, and Corin Locke, who was pouring out furious fire, was struggling in vain.
“…….”
This is already the tenth time digging in. Sebancia Duke easily blocks it.
Basically, if it were a fight between a spear and a sword, the difference in reach is. The inevitable attempt by the sword holder to narrow the distance ended up being reversed by that 2m long sword.
‘A great sword like that should at least have a slow swing speed.’
Either the speed is slow or the gap in the attack is wide… Either way, you need to be able to penetrate, but there is no such gap visible for Sebancia Duke.
Compared to a tall spear that stabs in a straight line, Duke Sebancia’s great sword draws an arc as much as its weight.
Of course, in terms of speed, this should be much faster, and it is actually faster, but…
‘It’s strange. Why does the timing keep being perfect?’
The opponent’s sword always collides with your spear, blowing everything away with its heaviness.
“Do you have any doubts? Little one.”
When the digging feet stopped, Sebancia opened her mouth.
“Are you overconfident about the difference in weapons? Do you think you can win if you dig in? No matter how many times you try, it’s useless.”
“Are you saying it’s a difference in experience?”
“Hmph, that doesn’t exist either.”
“…Then what is it?”
“You don’t have courage.”
“…….”
“The instantaneous physical strengthening while consuming the auror core is interesting. It is the method of the shadow warriors. However, is your ‘spear technique’ a technique of subduing the enemy with strength?”
“……!!”
Hearing those words, Corrin stopped as if he realized something. And then lift the sura.
“Okay, let’s give it a try.”
The body has warmed up sufficiently.
If it were not for the state of Sura, how would one enter the realm?
────────
A world at rest.
In this area, Corin Locke’s spear moves.
One step in a stationary world that overturns physical differences in the strength of the body creates destructive power.
The evil historical drama (凶蛇極意),
Seungcheonsa (昇天蛇), and the appearance of a poisonous dragon (毒龍出頭).
The moment the silver spear rushed through Duke Sevancia’s heart──
“???”
The window doesn’t move. It was as if something had put a spell on it… it was stuffed in space and didn’t move.
‘what? Did you fail to enter the area?’
A moment of panic. Sevancia Duke looked up inadvertently. He was looking this way.
“……!!”
I get goosebumps. I realized it too late when I saw the other person slowly raising his cross sword.
The other person is also standing in the same area as you.
A swinging cross sword. A pitch-black energy inside. The moment it rushed towards me… I saw death.
“Tsk…!”
At that moment, the territory is broken and Corin instinctively retreats. There is no spear in that hand. His silver spear was still stuck in the air, unable to move forward.
“…Did you set up a trap in advance?”
“It’s similar. But do you know the difference?”
“It’s close to foreknowledge of the future… Is it intuition?”
“Not only that.”
A pitch-black aura blooms all over Sevancia Duke’s body.
A huge wave of power that makes the viewer sick of it. Seeing a cracked dam that looks as if it might burst at any moment would be more reassuring than this.
“Auror… No, more than that…”
A higher level… Yes, it is similar to that of Master or Tates Balthazar.
The Invincible that I could not obtain from the previous episode until the very end…
“Look, this is the power of the beginning of heaven and earth. It is the power that I used to kill the dragon when I was young.”
[Final Demon Sword, Dragon Kill]
A dark flash emitted by consuming all the aura accumulated in one core. The moment that overwhelming cut was unleashed—the world split in half.
“…….”
Look behind you. An artificial space created by Sebancia… A sword mark that clearly divides the world in half.
‘It’s a monster.’
This was the strongest 800 years ago. Should this be the peak of an era?
‘The only ones who can do something like this are the Sword Emperor and the Master in his prime… and Tates Balthazar.’
“You who struggle with skill and improvisation cannot resist overwhelming power, kid. All you need is the minimum strength to stand against it. You don’t even have that.”
“…That’s why you’re having such a hard time because there’s nothing like that.”
The only thing I can trust is this body and the state of the spear. If it were possible to achieve a level of power comparable to that of the Great Evil, I wouldn’t have gone through this trouble in the first place.
In the beginning, I engraved all kinds of precepts and learned suras to cover that part.
“I commend the idea of matching strength through instantaneous physical enhancement. However, what sense does it make to give up your maximum power to match the size of strength?”
What Sebancia was talking about was territory.
A miraculous technique that turns the game around regardless of strength. Although opportunities to enter the field and understanding are increasing, there are drawbacks.
As experienced in the Permak match, it was not possible to enter the area in a momentary physical strengthening state such as Surah or Precepts.
The size of the power, which is much stronger than usual, actually reduces concentration, making it impossible to use techniques that require extreme concentration, such as areas.
“It’s like an equivalent exchange. If you get one, you have to give up the other… Huh?”
Talking to yourself, you realize the contradiction. Obviously, Sevancia Duke… has
an overwhelming amount of magic restraint and attack in the area, enough to block a spear that enters the area. Sevancia Duke did both at the same time.
“Look at the world more broadly, kid. Don’t whine that just because you can’t do it, others can’t do it either.”
“…….”
In short, all you need is both strength and skill. If it were easy, I wouldn’t have gone through this trouble.
“I will give it to you.”
“huh?”
“I am saying that I will give you the core of this Sevancia Duke. It is the only thing I can give you from this cursed body.”
“Why have you become so obedient all of a sudden?”
“I thought you were an extremely general-purpose person, but when I saw you fighting… I saw that you were a talented person. Above all, I realized why my soul sent you here.”
He said after seeing my precepts revealed during the fight.
“I see the qualities of a hero in you, Corin Locke. You have faith and pride, not the greed that is expected of those who seek power.”
“Oh, did you feel like respecting me?”
“You bastard? That can’t be possible.”
“No, you… you said you would respect me in the library?”
“I guess being immersed in a book has made me more sensitive.”
Sevancia Duke, who denies my soul. Ugly old man.
“However, I will bless your future path.”
“okay?”
I fell straight to the floor. Both Sura and Realm are too hard on the body. Sebancia looked puzzled by my carefree attitude.
“You’re carefree.”
“You are not the kind of person who will kill people arbitrarily. So hurry up and give me something. I am busy saving the world.”
“You really are an annoying brat.”
He came up to me and raised his cross sword. Oh, pick up a cross sword?
“Whoa! Wait…!”
“noisy.”
-Poof!
The cross sword pierces the heart. Blood flowing back for a moment.
“I really stabbed you…!”
“Then are you going to fake it?”
The pulsation of the heart, which had been shaking in the aftermath of an intense game, gradually decreases. A heart that stops. What came into Corin’s field of vision was Sevancia pulling out the core from her heart.
“Couldn’t you please be a little more gentle…!”
“With this, I put emphasis on my long life. Succeed me, hero of this era.”
At the end of his words, Corin’s vision closed.
“You are qualified to succeed me.”
It was the moment his heart stopped.
* * * *
“Corin?”
The realm of blood developed by Duke Sevancia. As the space that had been divided between Corin and Marie merged, the girl with aquamarine hair called out to him in a trembling voice.
The heroic aspect of Duke Sevancia. I ended up witnessing the scene where he, wearing blood-stained armor, stabbed Corin in the heart.
“No, no… probably not…”
The fresh and lively voice became gloomy and wet.
The once clear and cheerful golden pupils waver and turn red.
He turned to the boy, whose delicate body was trembling and bleeding profusely with his eyes closed.
“Is that over?”
Sebancia did not come into Marie’s field of vision. It was nice to see the blood pouring out from the heart he had dug into and opened.
It was just annoying.
-simplicity and honesty!
“?!!”
Marie holding on to Sebancia’s arm, which was wrapped in blood-stained armor. Even Sebancia could not help but be surprised as her armor was shattered by her transcendent grip strength.
-Boom!
Marie throws away the sebancia she was holding with her small hand. A loud roaring sound occurred within his sphere of influence and a shock wave so large that the sphere vibrated.
-Kwakwauk!
Sebancia flies to the end of the area in an instant. Who would believe that this was a feat of pure force?
“Is this magician with this much strength?”
However, Sevancia Duke was unharmed and unharmed. Even that didn’t come into Marie’s field of vision.
“Corin…”
Even now, seeing the blood pouring out of my heart, I stop it with my trembling hands and struggle to get it back in any way possible.
However, Marie does not know that this is meaningless. Tears poured from her eyes.
She knows the fate of dying animals better than anyone else. I have seen the blood draining out, the body becoming cold, and the eyes slowly losing life.
I couldn’t help but despair as I watched the boy diligently going through the process, knowing the moment his life was fading away.
“Corrin… Corin Corin…!”
However, he could not accept the reality and cried.
“I will heal you. I will save your life…”
Marie recalled the power of vampires she had read about in literature. A blood curse that traps a life forever. However, it is a contract of eternal life where the owner never dies.
“Stop it. It’s a curse. It’s not salvation at all.”
“shut up…!”
Marie sobbed and released her magic power. I glared at Sebancia, who was the culprit of all this, as if I were going to kill him.
“hmm…!”
Her overwhelming magical power easily crushed Duke Sevancia, who had lost his heart.
The amount of magical power was too overwhelming for a vampire who had been asleep for a long time without sucking blood to resist.
“I will save him. I will save him… Corin cannot die. He cannot die.”
Marie bit her tongue to warm up Corin’s cold body even a little.
The blood gushing from his torn tongue filled his mouth, and he kissed the boy’s lips with it in his mouth.
From mouth to mouth. The blood of an elder-level vampire, the elixir itself, passed generously into the other person’s mouth.
Blood continues to be injected from the raised head in case you are unable to swallow.
“…….”
Sebancia made an awkward expression while watching that scene. At the same time, I couldn’t hide my surprise.
‘Even though you see a large amount of blood in front of you, you don’t feel the urge to suck blood.’
A vampire’s vampiric drive is most stimulated by the sight of raw blood. The blood pouring from the heart is enough to form a puddle on the floor.
Yet, without even giving a single glance, he instead shares his blood with the other person.
Is the presence of the other person that important? Is that boy that big of a presence to this vampire girl?
“Children are not romanticists.”
But I don’t hate it. Duke Sevancia himself was a ghost who wandered this world for 800 years to hear news of his wife and daughter.
Surprisingly, all heroes are romanticists.
“Ummmm…”
“Cocorine?!”
As the blood of an elder-level vampire was forcibly injected, his vitality increased explosively, and even his pierced heart recovered in an instant.
This is because the vampire’s strong desire to restore the other person turned blood into the elixir of life, but still, no one would have thought that it could restore a broken heart so quickly.
It was not difficult for Sevancia Duke to guess that the regenerative power passed on to the boy was synergistic.
“What’s going on?”
“Ah, God. Thank you. Thank you…!”
With a pale face, Marie thanked God. I have never been more thankful to God in my life.
“Ha… calm down, both of you.”
“Ugh… Sevancia Duke. If you’re going to give it to me, just give it to me in a nicer way.”
“Could there be a more intuitive transplant than this? I don’t have time.”
“Well, but…”
“Huh?”
Marie tilts her head as if unable to understand the context of the conversation between Corin and Sevancia.
“All they did was open the heart and transplant my core. It was a cheap price to stop the heart for a moment.”
“Ah ah……”
It was only then that Marie realized what Duke Sevancia had done to Corin.
The gift of life. inheritance of power. The old way begins with the heart, the source of all life.
It is a high-level magical ritual that is established because both people have a persistent vitality that almost never dies.
“I’m glad everything… I’m really glad.”
Marie let out a sigh of relief and hugged Corin, who had collapsed while crying.
“Uh… senior?”
Corinne, who did not know the situation, was confused and hugged Marie, who had snuggled into her arms.
“Don’t worry… Ugh, Corin can never die…! Even if you die, you must die with my permission…!”
“Does that make sense?”
“I promise! You will never die without my permission!”
-Cow wow!
Corrin’s tightening strength made him realize how sincere this girl was.
All he could do was pat the trembling girl on the back.
* * * *
When I opened my eyes, I saw Marie fast asleep.
Duke Sevancia’s office. On the old sofa. Marie was asleep, hugging me.
“It’s probably not a dream.”
Those concerns were alleviated by a message from the system that had been sent for a long time.
[You have acquired Sevancia Duke’s Auror Core.]
[By acquiring the Dual Core, your Auror grade increases]
[Core characteristics are created. Duke’s Demonic Nature.]
Auror – { Medium (6730) } Magic
Power – { Low (5370) }
Attribute – { Regeneration of a tenacious warrior Pain tolerance Area understanding Dual core }
Strength: 83 Dexterity: 79
Stamina
: 86
Aura: 76
Horsepower: 76
“……Second core.”
Not only did his Auror rank increase, but he also obtained a second core. It even has some unique characteristics…
Could it be… that it can do something similar to the sword that Duke Sevancia showed?
“Crazy…”
Compared to that power, Grimoire is literally treated as nothing.
But this raises another question. Why didn’t Sevancia Duke give this power to the player in the previous game or in previous episodes?
If there is a difference between the player and me…
“I will respect you.”
Sebancia’s words. Did I have something to change his feelings?
“No, even if I give it to you, I’ll give it to you kindly. What is this… I thought you were really going to die.”
It would be nice if they just gave it to me right from the beginning. Making people suffer… Well, I feel a little like I’ve been tested. What a dishonest man.
-Squeak!
It was then. Someone had entered the office.
“Who…”
“Hic?!”
The visitor was surprised, probably because he didn’t expect there to be people inside. It looks like the one wearing the familiar maid’s uniform has come to clean.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t expect there to be customers…?!!”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Are you going to leave soon?”
what? The maid’s gaze is unusual. In a trembling voice, she called me and Marie… Marie?
-Quickly,
“Ah….”
That’s right. It’s misleading. Oh well.
“No, it’s not like that. Really, it’s not like that. I understand what you’re misunderstanding, but that’s a misunderstanding.”
“Kiss kiss marks…”
“Kiss marks? Where are those…”
He carelessly touches the back of his neck. The place where Marie sunk her fangs to suck blood. Now that new flesh has sprouted, the traces of blood sucking have disappeared, and the blood scab remains vaguely like a kiss mark.
“Ahh, that’s not true. It’s not like that. It’s true. I understand that you misunderstand…”
“Excuse me! Have a nice time!!”
“Where are you going?! Lady maid! Stop for a moment!”
………………I’m sure it will spread the word, right?
I say it again. The social world is a place where swords made of tongues dance. In other words, it is a place where rumors spread faster than anywhere else.
“Neoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!
It took about 20 days for the misunderstanding to be resolved.
* * * *
There were some happenings… but the vacation in the south was still worth it.
“Corin… are you okay?”
“Haha, I understand. All fathers with daughters are like that.”
“Huh… I’m sorry. I made you misunderstand.”
20 days since visiting Duke Sevancia’s castle. I have been hiding in the mountains all this time.
It was a villa owned by Marie, and I spent my training days there, training Aurora.
It wasn’t easy to avoid the pursuit of a squadron of wyverns patrolling the skies, but who else am I? Aren’t you from the infantry of the Republic of Korea Army?
It appears that they were trained as guerrilla fighters and trained in cold weather to be able to use them in times like this.
“Still, I’m glad the misunderstanding was resolved. Meanwhile, my senior also secretly came and gave me potatoes.”
“Hmph… I wanted to treat Corin during the vacation.”
“I was treated well enough.”
Still, the remaining week was pure paradise. Even though I wasn’t able to see the southern attractions, I relaxed my mind and body by receiving all kinds of services at Marie’s house.
Especially that masseuse… His skills in revitalizing people were unusual. Of course, meridian massage is the best massage.
“Anyway, it’s the second semester now. We’ll soon start preparing for the festival.”
“Yes! I heard that this year they are coming from the Boramae Academy in the Eastern Continent.
The festival is a friendly exchange event where the four major academies on the four continents take turns visiting each other’s academies.
However, the Guardian’s status in this world is so high that if we compare it to Earth , It boasts the same level of popularity as a small Olympics held every year.
It attracts a huge number of tourists, which also boosts the industry.
“That’s right, the inn business is doing well with the money we invested, right?” “
Of course. “I’ll just earn it for nothing.”
“Okay, I’ll believe it! Corin will do well!”
On the way back in the carriage. Hwaran’s episode begins in Act 3. This is where it is decided whether or not you can attract her as an ally. ‘No matter what, I want to
keep at least a happy ending.’
All that needs to be done is not to sublimate into a Yasha, which is the worst case. Just blocking the tricks of the spirit magician will somehow solve the problem. Of course, apart from
that, investments in the lodging industry that will smoothen the financial situation in the future should also be a big hit.
This year . It was mentioned that there were a lot of tourists, so the lodging industry will also skyrocket.
A large number of tourists will be attracted to the festival, and the value of the lodging industry will rise as a result. After hitting the jackpot, the land is sold as is to raise money. If you borrow from Marie
, Isn’t that possible? Don’t you think it’s possible? There’s Kao!
“I’m invincible! Festivals are God!”
“Ko Corin?”
Hahahahaha…! Money can be copied!!
Unless the planet suddenly goes crazy and heaven and earth change, my plan goes smoothly!
-Kwaaaaaa Ahhh……!!!!!
A pouring downpour of rain.
The maintained road was torn apart, the trees in the forest were ripped off and crushed by the water current. The wind speed
was rated EF5. A natural disaster that appeared right in front of the city. It seems to represent God’s anger.
“What happened?”
Didn’t something like this happen in the previous episode?
“Wow… That’s a huge typhoon… If this happens, there will be a big disruption in holding the festival.”
Marie grabbed my shoulder as if she felt sorry for me.
“It’s okay, Corin. When a man does something big, he goes bankrupt at
least once!” Still, should I use the IOU? If I can’t pay it back, all I have to do is stamp the document I want!
The look in Marie’s eyes, as if she had seized a golden opportunity, was scary.
