I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 64
[ Bat Effect (2) ]
A huge and rapidly rotating typhoon. Standing in front of him, we looked small, like helpless humans facing a disaster.
What is different is that it is an artificial typhoon caused by Typhoon Bat Alban. Could it be that it doesn’t move like a real typhoon?
In any case, it is not a good choice to blindly enter that violent storm. If it were a large monster, humans would not be able to withstand it and would be swept away.
“The talk with the support team is over. All that’s left is to get the timing right.”
The plan of Professor Edgar, the party leader for this subjugation operation, is divided into an inrush team and a support team.
The support team temporarily neutralizes the typhoon to clear the way, and the assault team quickly enters to subdue Alban, the core of the typhoon. Simple is best.
Support team.
Marie Dunareff.
Lulala Mars.
Eriu Cassar.
Dana Arienne.
Rushing group.
Harmon Welsch.
Augen Lentry.
Edgar Linton.
Beajacker.
Corin Locke.
There are four knights and one wizard.
“It’s a hastily organized party, so we can’t expect teamwork, but as long as each person serves one person, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
The party leader was Professor Edgar Linton.
A former first-class wizard and magistrate who traveled around the continent judging criminals, he is a seasoned party leader. He deserved to be the party leader for this operation.
“Instructor Harman and Professor Augen take the front line. Corin and Beajacker students take the rear guard.”
The members of the party were extravagant.
A seasoned first-class wizard named Edgar Linton, a semi-first-class knight, Old Man Harman, and Professor Augen.
Beajacker and I, both students, are outstanding talents who are both first-class knights at a young age.
We had a moment of silence as the support team prepared magic to solve the typhoon.
“Junior Corrin.”
Meanwhile, the person who spoke to me was Beajacker, a second-year student.
“Hello, Senior Beajacker.”
He was a rugged giant. Most of his white, muscular body, roughly covered with animal skin, was exposed.
[Berserker Beajacker] from the northern North Island barbarian tribe. It’s named.
“Stay behind me as much as possible. You’ll be in my way.”
“Ah… yes.”
I’m pretty tall myself, but Beajacker was twice as tall as me.
“You’re so tall. Were you a half-giant?”
“…don’t worry about it.”
Unlike the tribe, which is famous for its unique ‘berserk’ trait and violent temper, Beajacker bluntly dismissed my questions.
“But, Senior Beajacker. In this operation, we are the rear guard.”
“…I am stronger.”
“I guess so.”
-Thrill!
The blue eyes looking down at me are fierce. It seems like he thought it was funny.
“Don’t be mistaken, senior. The key to this operation is Professor Edgar. Our role is to assist the veteran professors.”
“…….”
“Of course, putting students at the forefront would be unacceptable from the professors’ point of view. They are adults.”
“It’s a vain thing.”
Beajacker is right. Excluding Professor Edgar, Old Man Harman is already past his prime, and Professor Augen is a power tanker type like Beajacker, but is inferior in specifications.
In the current situation, Beajacker is the strongest in this party. I can’t win against this guy unless I have the backup of the precepts.
“Well, let’s just wait and see. At least in terms of experience, he’s a better adult than us.”
“…Do you see me as a child?”
It’s not a visual worth seeing. But in my opinion, Mariena and Beajacker are the same.
“You’re a child who hasn’t even had a coming-of-age ceremony yet. Of course, it’s a kingdom standard, not a senior’s tribal ceremony.”
“…….”
Beajacker’s gaze looking down at me is strange.
“It’s almost ready. This is student Marie’s large-scale magic.”
Professor Edgar, a blonde-haired middle-aged man, announced the start by lighting a cigar. At the same time, a huge magic circle appeared in the distance.
A very large magic circle that is too large to be human. It’s at a level where it could be called a great magic trick just because of its scale.
“Ha… That’s amazing, student Marie.”
Magic with a lot of Marie’s characteristic ‘Magic Amplification’ gives even beginner magic a vague imitation of anti-magic.
That’s Marie’s specialty, the alchemy magic ‘Freezing’. It’s like the magic has been endlessly amplified.
The magical power that seeps into a giant typhoon filled with wind and rain. And in less than a second…
– Boom! Slam!
A huge typhoon that appeared without any foreshadowing.
This typhoon, which was created by a typhoon bat burning its own life, was a typhoon that the Korea Meteorological Administration officials would have tackled with all their might, saying, “Why are you messing with meteorology?” But it completely solidified.
No, more accurately, I should say it was frozen.
“It’s truly ‘magic.’”
The enormous nature that felt like the wrath of God froze and became an avant-garde sculpture.
“It’s Professor Rurara’s turn.”
Before Professor Edgar could speak, a cloud of smoke, sparkling like stars illuminating the night sky, flowed toward the frozen typhoon.
“Everyone get down.”
As soon as we finish speaking, we kneel down. At the same time, Professor Edgar unfolded a hemisphere-shaped curtain and the moment the sparkling things touched the typhoon.
-bang! Kwakwakwakkwak!!
An explosion occurred in the frozen typhoon with a loud roar. The ice crumbles like a glass bottle shattering from such a strong impact.
-Boom! Gurgling!!
Because it was such a huge typhoon, it made a lot of noise just by breaking up and pouring down, as if a bombing had occurred.
As Professor Augen watched the aftermath of the spectacular explosion, he was shocked and asked Old Man Harman a question.
“Professor Rurara, what was your nickname when you were on active duty?”
“A serial bomber. She was famous for being crazy about bombs.”
“I asked her out on a date last week and I got dumped… thank god.”
“Entering.”
Professor Rulara’s bomb pension opened a large hole in the frozen typhoon. The assault team entered the typhoon through a hole opened as planned.
* * * *
-Kwasik!
– Quad deuk!
-Pow!
As soon as the rush force entered the typhoon, they engaged in a fierce battle with the flocking monsters.
Monsters that came to eat Typhoon Bat Alban but were trapped in the typhoon.
The semi-large monsters that had withstood the typhoon created by Alban while burning his life with their weight and tenacity, ran wild upon seeing the incoming group.
“Goooooooooo…!”
The one-eyed giant rushed in, holding a club.
A huge nature weapon that strikes down. It was the old knight who received it.
-thud!
A dizzying sound. Cyclops smiles evilly as he imagines the human being turned to mush.
-Tduduk! Tdu-duk!
A trembling club. Even if it suddenly splits at the end, Cyclops cannot retrieve the club. This is because he was captured by a power greater than himself.
“It’s been a while since you had blind eyes.”
It was old man Harmon Welsch who caught the Nature Weapon, which had been thrown down with his weight and momentum, with his bare hands and held on to it.
During his active years, he was called Kang Wan’s Harman, and even though he was old, his strength was incomparable to that of a one-eyed giant.
-Boom!
Harmon striking the air. The impact created by his punch hits Cyclops’ left knee.
-Ujijik!
With a dizzying sound, Cyclops screamed and fell to his knees. Harman said as Cyclops kicked the Nature Weapon that supported his body.
“This would be perfect to use as a cane.”
“Oooooh…!”
A giant man follows him. Professor Augen, wielding a huge ax that was over 2 meters long, struck down Cyclops in one fell swoop.
-Kkwajijik!
Cyclops’ head splitting like a log.
“Shiii……”
After defeating the Cyclops, what appeared was a gargoyle making a hissing sound, looking for the moment of surprise.
-Saaa…!
“True.”
-Quad!
The smoke rising from Professor Edgar’s cigar turned into a sharp blade and cut off the gargoyle’s head in an instant.
“It’s neat.”
“……”
Corin and Beajacker, who stood in the rear as if protecting Professor Edgar, had nothing to do.
Associate 1st class knight Harman and Professor Augen. Professor Edgar, a level 1 wizard, was literally showing off his overwhelming skills and crushing the attacking monsters.
“It’s not as big a deal as I thought.”
“Well, these guys must have been stuck in the storm for several days and haven’t been able to eat anything. Looking at the injuries they got, it looks like they were fighting among themselves.”
“…Did you see all of that?”
Beajacker’s eyes turned to Corrin. This is because, for a lowly student who was a level 5 knight just a short time ago, he was skillfully accepting this situation.
“Analysis and strategy. This is my specialty.”
“It’s a good trick.”
Beajacker honestly acknowledged this freshman’s specialty. Because of his appearance, he can easily be mistaken for a barbarian warrior who only pursues power and violence, but he is a warrior with more reason than one might think.
“But always be prepared to go out. The real ones are slowly coming.”
“Hmm….”
It’s exactly as he said. Several monsters trapped in the typhoon frozen by Marie, her classmate, broke the ice that had frozen them and began pouring in from all directions.
Even in a typhoon of this magnitude and a freeze equivalent to anti-magic, the surviving entities would all be able to do the basics.
“Sieee…!”
“It’s Queen Taratect…!”
Queen Taratect, a quasi-1st class monster that clearly ranks among the largest monsters. Although it is large, its most threatening ability is its incredible reproductive ability, capable of hatching young on the spot.
-Papa pak!
The eggs that Queen Taratect shoots out like cannonballs fall steadily on the ground.
The eggs fell without breaking and immediately split open as if they had fulfilled their mission. From there, dozens of small spider monsters began to pour out.
Spiders that form a colony are violence in themselves.
The smoke from the cigar approached the spider monsters who were rushing towards their mother as if competing for the ball. The moment you approach through the fog-like smoke…
-Kie?
-Key profit!?
Spider monsters suddenly convulse and collapse.
“The fog is slightly toxic. Be careful not to touch it.”
Alchemy toxicity with a hazy haze. It’s not something that most low-level monsters can endure.
-Siiiiii…!
-Kiyaaa…!
A concert of monsters coming from all directions. It is a harbinger of a wave.
“It’s getting real!”
“Corrin Beajacker! Protect Professor Edgar!”
“You’re finally opening your hands.”
“Hmm…”
15 minutes into the game. Corin, who drew a silver spear for the first time, and Beajacker, who fiercely held a 2m long sword.
-Kwaaaak!
Something rising from beneath the ground. Things that had been hiding underground to avoid the storm were revealed.
“Are they sand dragoons?”
Centipede-like monsters with dozens of legs rushed at them all at once. They have been starved for a long time and show no hesitation as if they are happy to see fresh meat in front of them.
-Kakakak!
The snake’s molars crush the centipedes.
A poisonous snake’s spear that cleverly avoids the sand dragoon’s characteristic blunt upper shell and quickly pierces the soft underside of its eyes and mouth.
If the opponents are hungry ghosts that have crawled up from hell, the ones who will stop them are dragons on earth with fangs.
He refrains from using his aura to a minimum and stabs him more than four times before his breathing stops.
When we talk about a quick and accurate movie, this is exactly what we are referring to.
-Sssssssssssssssssss!
-Kyaaaaaaa!
However, a single point strike is not enough.
It is difficult for a single individual to overcome the march of ghosts coming from all directions.
“Huh…!”
But here is a beast that takes a deep breath.
-Quaaaaaaa…!
-Kwaang! Crunchy…!
-Kkkdeuddeuk!
A whirlwind blowing wildly.
It slashes and swings everything that comes at it without any particular aim, scattering it in all directions.
“Wwiyu~”
Although Corin Locke has experienced many hardships, this warrior’s extreme violence is still impressive.
Overwhelming violence brought about by a large sword over 2 meters long and the person’s immense power.
Berserker Beajacker. The half-giant, who is also considered a warrior of madness, is not a berserker, but a wild beast running rampant in this shocking scene of violence.
“Wow…”
Professors, including Professor Edgar, were equally impressed by the incredible violence. Professors are also stubborn about the students’ brilliant propaganda, which they only used as a rearguard action.
“I can’t be pushed around by students.”
“I’ll be the prosecutor later, Professor Ougen. If you can’t catch it better than the students, you’ll have to take my special class.”
“Take care of yourself, Sir.”
“Ha… knights.”
In the heat of violence, five guardians make their way through a typhoon of monsters. The destination is the core of the typhoon. It didn’t take long to reach it.
………….
…………
……
“As expected…”
including Professor Edgar The party members seem to be appalled by the phenomenon in front of them.
In the huge typhoon caused by Alban. I never thought we would face another typhoon in the center of this typhoon, frozen by Marie’s ice.
“Did an entity named Alban have this much capability?”
“I guess it’s maternal love. Even though she’s an animal, she deserves praise.”
“Please discuss such irrational logic separately later.”
In a small typhoon. Inside, the shape of a large bat can be seen desperately guarding this direction.
After noticing the intruder’s approach, he used his last remaining strength to create a small typhoon.
“Can you get through it?”
“It’s too much. If you have to endure the wounds of tearing your whole body apart…”
“It takes a lot of effort for us too. There’s no need to overdo it.”
The three professors made a quick decision and then turned to the sky. Then, fire the prepared flare.
-Shhhh~ Bang!
The center of the typhoon. A signal exploded in the sky. At the same time, Professor Edgar gave instructions.
“Retreat to the outside of Danger Close.”
As soon as they retreat, thunder rumbles in the sky.
A sizzling and turbulent sky. It begins to ‘rumble’, attracting dark clouds around it.
-Kwaouk! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A series of lightning strikes above the clouds. The thunderbolts falling from the upper atmosphere caused strange phenomena and began to take on ‘color’.
“……Professor Edgar. Is that a bit much?”
“It’s dangerous. Damn it, Professor Dana, I’ll do it in moderation…! You idiot!”
The person causing this strange phenomenon is the lightning wizard Professor Dana.
This young witch (in her 40s), who is more promising as a theoretician than as a guardian, is the leader of the blitz.
The big and beautiful Supershell and Thunderstorm are each firepower magicians who are considered great magic.
And what I’m trying to hit now is [Red Sprite]. It is a red thundercloud of destruction said to strike at a speed of approximately 10,000 km/s, which is 1/30th of the speed of light.
“Deploy shield!”
Professor Edgar used all his magic power to deploy a shield surrounding the party. Soon a red thundercloud hit the ground.
* * * *
Professor Dana, who was in charge of fire support according to the signal, swept away the storm and destroyed the storm frozen by Marie.
“This is why I hate wizards. They kill knights.”
“I agree 100%.”
Old Man Harman and Professor Augen wake up on the charred land. After that, Professor Edgar expressed his dissatisfaction.
“Professor Dana, I hope you don’t treat me like that witch.”
Professor Edgar, a former magistrate who prefers a smart approach, seems to find this treatment an intolerable insult.
“Anyway, it seems like it was resolved well. With lightning of this magnitude, everything around it must have been destroyed——”
“Look over there.”
The party members’ gaze follows Beajacker’s finger. Their gazes were distorted in astonishment.
The typhoon… was still going strong.
“what?”
“You must have been hit by lightning. How are you alive?”
“Wait a minute, doesn’t it seem like the image in the typhoon is bigger than before?”
“……Evolution.”
Everyone gritted their teeth at the last words Corin spoke.
Evolution.
The growth of demons. A unique phenomenon that occurs during the accumulation of experience and life.
It is not simply an alpha individual, the leader of the pack, but a stage in which the vessel of the species itself is sublimated.
Because this is by no means a common phenomenon, demons that have completed the sublimation of this vessel sometimes become unexpected beings.
“Kiyaaaaaaa…!”
Albarn, the typhoon bat that became the core of the storm, withstood Professor Dana’s thundercloud bombardment and eventually evolved.
He is literally on the verge of becoming the king of storms and thunderclouds.
“If that’s motherly love… I’d say it’s really great.”
“This is not the time. We have to deal with it right now…!”
But how? The small storm that was created to endure until the birth is now causing lightning strikes.
Who would be able to get through that ridiculous storm?
“It would be impossible to attack head-on.”
Professor Harman’s conclusion was sound. This is Albarn, who even withstood Professor Dana’s onslaught. It was a gamble to attack head-on the typhoon that formed as its poison rose and burned lives.
Each person has one or two tricks, but the calculations are insufficient to draw a definite conclusion.
“Let’s take a step back. Let’s take advantage of the support team, whether it’s Professor Dana or Marie’s students.”
There is no beginner who can reject Professor Edgar’s reasonable arguments. The moment they gave up on attacking head-on and were about to turn back…
“Go.”
The sharp blonde professor’s voice. Something went beyond imaginary space and penetrated into the center of the storm.
-Wow…! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
Amidst the chaos accompanied by storms and thunderclouds, a series of grievous and terrible cries erupted.
You can tell that something is running wild in that storm by the sound of flesh and skin being torn.
-Kaaaaaaa…!
The storm of blades that has not yet disappeared continues to pound the slender doll.
Neither the storm that tore through the body nor the thunderbolts contained in the storm could shake Geumgang’s status.
-Snap! Pop!
Drops of blood falling. But this is not hers.
A girl in a nun’s uniform walks out calmly, dragging the head of an evolved Alban that is bigger than her own body.
“What are you doing?”
Bicheon Yacha Hwaran. She stared at Corin and the party members with an indifferent expression as always.
