I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 95

[Sun – Illustration by Klau Solas (3)]

How many times will this be my visit?

Garand clicked his tongue at the challenge of the sword demon who came whenever he was bored.

“He’s a guy with great grit.”

The battle time is slowly getting longer. Its growth rate is ridiculous.

The Geomje was secretly impressed as he watched the ghost mastering his sword skills as if possessed.

“Hahaha… She’s like my granddaughter.”

Overwhelming talent.

A demon that can be possessed by cutting things.

If we were to compare that madness, who would have the upper hand?

“I’m curious.”

I heard from a wise man with whom I had a relationship in the mountains that his granddaughter and her group were visiting. You’ll probably encounter a giant around here.

“Hmm… Shall we check out my granddaughters’ achievements after a long time?”

The Sword Emperor knows that the strength of a Sword Demon is not the realm of common sense. I was also aware of the possibility that all of my granddaughters would be killed just because of the test encounter.

However, rather than family love, the sword-crazed old man looks forward only to the appearance of a swordsman who will be comparable to him, or even better.

If the granddaughters die, it will only be because of their lack of accomplishment.

-bang!

A sword emperor who leaps to the highest peak. The Sword Demon chased after it. There is no need to mention the direction.

* * * *

The mountains speak.

Sharvan’s loudly resounding words themselves made the ground tremble and the sea tremble.

Size itself becomes violence.

Even at a glance, Sharvan’s power goes beyond common sense.

──Answer me, little ones. Did you come to look for fruit?

A being who exerts pressure with just his voice. Some people fell to the floor in front of him.

“Dipta is a great friend. Doom.”

“…….”

“It seems a bit difficult to take it down.”

“Don’t even think about it, Runia. Whether you win or lose, getting Klau Solas means losing everything.”

Sharban. The Sky Giant stared at us with a sullen expression.

“My name is Corin Locke. I would like to receive some fruit.”

Sharvan looked down at us in silence. Stone-covered eyes scan everyone.

The giant’s thoughts are dull and slow. Because there is no reason it should be faster than the smaller ones.

However, the overwhelming silence of existence stimulates the imagination.

Most of Skys’ subordinates were unable to keep their positions and retreated.

“Huh…!”

Finally, the moment when the person who was trying to sneak away appeared.

-Squeak!

Skyes’ fist hits the man’s head. The neck rotates 960 degrees like a top and then stops.

Brutal execution. Skyes approaches the giant without realizing it.

“You know, very, very big friend, I need to take your little fruit. Will you give it to me?”

While turning one person’s neck like a rotorcraft, he calmly lets out a friendly voice.

──The red fruit of the rowan tree was entrusted to me by the goddess Danu. Those who are not qualified cannot receive the fruit.

“How do you get that qualification?”

──I will test your wisdom.

Alisha, who was trembling, was pleased that she could finish without fighting.

“I’m glad it ended without a fight. But what about testing your wits?”

──I will ask you a riddle. Solve the riddle.

“yes?”

Alisha tilted her head with blank eyes.

“Monsters in mythology like riddles. Didn’t you know?”

“……no.”

“Wow…! Skyes likes riddles! I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”

The sky giants loved rare treasures and riddles. Perhaps the setting was that the world was too easily destroyed to enjoy sports or other entertainment, so people refrained from doing so.

“Well, I’ll agree to this too.”

──Good.

The giant giant explained the rules in a voice that was noise pollution itself.

For fairness, only two people from each side participate in the riddle. Except for Druids.

Druids often ask riddles with sky giants, so it’s not fair.

And it seems that the one who gets all five questions right first wins.

“Is there anyone here who is confident in riddles?”

Yuel is a druid and can’t participate, so it’s just me and Sister Aden.

Honestly, no matter who comes out, it will be better than a guy like Skyes who goes back and forth in his mind.

“Do I seem to have a connection to Riddle?”

“I don’t think I’ll even call a clown on my birthday.”

“Hmm… I solved at least the riddles in that magazine.”

From here, it’s me and Arisha. The opponent…

“Hehe…! Skies is such a riddle!”

One robin followed Skys tremblingly.

──Let’s begin.

Although caught up in an unexpected mystery, it is an extremely peaceful method.

──It gets bigger in the morning. It gets smaller again at noon. It grows again in the afternoon. But it disappears at night.

“…….”

Sharvan’s voice shook the heavens and earth and was clearly imprinted on us.

Does it get bigger in the morning and smaller again at noon? But it gets bigger in the afternoon and disappears at night?

“Hmm…”

Alisha was also worried. I think you can figure it out if you think about it a little more…

“The answer is a shadow.”

The voice came from a completely unexpected place.

Skies, who seemed to be fair and lacking in personality, has changed as if it had never happened before. He gazes at Sharvan with a serious gaze, like an old wise man.

──That is correct.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Skyes. The guy who was thought to be the most vulnerable here guessed the riddle very easily. Could it be…

“Could it be a coincidence…?”

Alicia also muttered as if she couldn’t believe it. It may be a preconceived notion, but I never felt like Dun Skies was a mysterious genius.

“…….”

His usual appearance was so overwhelming that I forgot about it. The uniqueness of the entity called Skys.

This is no coincidence.

──This exists but is not visible. No powerful being can defeat it. It will definitely come, but if you pass by, it will stop forever.

“Time. The correct answer is time.”

──This is sometimes joy, sometimes pain, sometimes comedy, and sometimes tragedy. It is a play in which all living people play the main characters.

“Life! Its name is comedy! It is also tragedy…! To live or to die! That is the question…!”

Skyes solves mysteries by switching between different personalities. It feels like dealing with tens of thousands of people at the same time.

“Hehehe…! I’m good at solving Sky’s riddles! It’s so easy!”

Now two questions remain. We haven’t been able to solve even one problem, but Skyes has already solved three problems.

“Ah, Alicia. What should you do? You’ve seen a lot of strange magazines.”

“A strange magazine? I only subscribed to things that teenage girls must read?”

──This is the fourth problem. To me it is beautiful. Others may not understand. For some, it is violence, and for others, it is escape.

This time too, the problem was difficult. Did I ever have such a poor imagination?

“Uh… over there… can I tell you…?”

Arisha raises her hand and steps forward.

──Speak.

Despite Sharban’s words, Alisha hesitated to answer, crossing her fingers, and then opened her mouth with difficulty.

“Boo affair?”

“huh?”

“hmm?”

“ok?”

All eyes follow the source of the voice. These are not looks sent thinking they were wrong answers.

If you analyze it, it turns out to be a plausible answer. However, I looked at Alisha strangely for insisting on giving such a correct answer.

“Isn’t that possible…?”

──Interesting. Your answer is also correct.

“Uh… no, please just say it’s wrong. I made a mistake. That’s not it…!”

“Arisha… What are you thinking about everyday?”

“Oh no! No!! We

interrupted the flow, but maybe it was just a beginner’s coincidence. Skyes guessed both questions correctly, and the riddle battle ended with our loss.

“Hehehehe…! The fruit is pretty! Did I do well? Well done, right?!”

“Congratulations, Skys!”

“Congratulations, Skys!!”

“……”

It was a complete defeat.

* * * *

After the riddle, we were trudging back to Findias.

” Ugh…! This is a pretty fruit!”

Where has the ever-changing appearance from the riddle gone? Skyce stares at the fruit like a child.

“You’re weak at riddles?”

“…That’s right.”

If you think about it, I wasn’t the type to use my brain. . Even in the game, these puzzle elements were just reported in the strategy book.

“Um… what should I do? Haven’t we failed?”

Yuel said carefully, as if trying to ease the burden on the restless Arisha.

“The task… probably won’t end like this. I think we didn’t get one of the supplies.”

“Then that’s a good thing…”

“We druids don’t upset everything with one failure. “Maybe…”

It was then. Yuel stopped as if he noticed something. The same goes for Doomnorix. Seeing

their strange behavior, Runia slowly put her hand on the sheath of her sword.

“Are they enemies?”

“…… “There are none.”

“Mr. Yuel?”

“There aren’t any spirits around… not a single one.”

“Now that I think about it, I don’t see any monsters either. “I saw them occasionally on the way.”

Can’t you see the spirits and monsters?

This is a magical area that is even called the Monster Mountain Range. There are two reasons why the two races can’t be seen in this sea of trees. Either

someone has killed all the spirits and monsters. ….. This is a case where everyone ran away to avoid an overwhelming being.

“Uuhihi…! Did you go in too deep?”

Before Skyce’s soft words could be finished, Doomnorix raised his oak staff.

[Os Lovre – Dentata]

The surrounding oak trees all at once erect a castle wall. The development is due to nature’s response and rapid growth. It is truly 2.3 seconds. It is truly a deployment ability worthy of the Legislator, the highest elder of the Druids.

And the moment the fortress is completed, the light of the half-moon splits it apart at the same time.

“Damage…!”

The fortress formed by the Druid of the Legislator class is torn apart in one go. The moment after we dispersed to avoid Gangi.

-Chuck…!

The thing stopped in the middle of us.

“Uh oh…”

What appeared while trampling on the rotting leaves was something humanoid.

But it was clearly human . Instead, a red-faced monster with sophisticated curves glowed with purple eyes.

“…Humanoid monster?”

A human-like beast that can be said to be a rare species among monsters. It carries two swords.

-Kwa Suddenly!

A robe split like a piece of paper when struck by a sword. The sign was that his body, split in straight lines, was lying on the floor.

“Step back…!”

A storm-like strike that cuts in all directions. Like a dragon tearing from the floor and ascending to heaven. Soaring blades. Thirteen were torn apart in an instant.

“Gasp…!”

In a split second, he blocked the guy’s strange sword from all directions, grabbed the defenseless Yuel, and retreated. If it wasn’t for his omnidirectional swordsmanship, he wouldn’t have even been able to take Yuel with him.

” Thank you.”

“Stay back…!”

Damn, why is this guy out here? No, I knew it, but why is he targeting us?

“Tie him up.”

Nature responds to one word from Doomnorix. It catches him in an instant. A constricting root tree. Neither its scale nor the intensity of its confinement can be compared to Yuel.

“Ugh…!”

Skies reaches out to the guy whose feet have stopped. At the same time, dozens of poisonous snakes jumped out of the guy’s hands.

Deadly venom from just one bite. This is effective even for monsters.

-wickedness!

A blade being swung with one’s feet tied. The light blast that cuts through even space cuts down Skies along with the snake.

-Puzik!

Skies loses half of his head in an instant. The guy tilted his head, not understanding what had happened to him.

“Oh?”

Slurp! Skyes falls down. The sword’s blade swipes towards Doomnorix.

At first glance, it was a meaningless movement that cut into the air. However, the sword steel on the blade cut the air and headed towards Doomnorix.

Doomnorix defends for a split second. The oak tree that sprouted from within the body surrounded Doomnorix like armor…

– BREAK!

Fresh blood gushes diagonally from Doomnorix’s shoulder. The oak tree armor, cut off in a space, fell to the patter of the floor.

Sword Demon.

Now the sword name is Nana, and only that crazy old man knows it. [The Legend of Arhan Heroes] The strongest swordsman who will rule the world in the future.

If all goes according to plan, the guy who would have entered Tates Balthazar’s military gate at some point has now cut down the same king’s minions, Dumnorix and Dun Skith.

I honestly can’t be happy about it. Because now we were next.

“Monster bastard…!”

A sharp sword strike attacks the guy. Runia’s ultimate surprise attack. The guy reacts.

-Click…!

The fastest cut that passes by. The monster used swordsmanship. Before that shocking fact, a sense of déjà vu flows.

That attitude of being overlooked. And the next link is…

“Aden Ryu?”

A monster that passes over Runia’s sword and takes a stabbing stance. It’s definitely true.

Power and corruption. Aden-style swordsmanship that involves defense and counterattack.

“You bastard…! Where did you learn that swordsmanship!”

Runia’s Mind’s Eye narrowly avoided the link that led to its corruption. Strikes down the shortest slash.

What I countered with was not a sword but a claw. Sharp nails block the sword, and at the same time, a powerful kick is swung like a blade.

A beast by nature, his entire body is a weapon. A sharp dagger not only with both hands but also with the feet. Runia, who only had one sword, did not overdo it and expertly retreated half a step.

“You’re arrogant.”

The next moment, the swordplay intersects.

Runia’s strike and the Sword Demon’s strike collide.

As they collide repeatedly, they create terrifying blades of wind.

-Kakak…!

Swordplay that increases in sharpness with each strike.

A long sword and a long sword that cut through space clashed with each other less than 1 meter apart.

A series of sword strikes followed by a half-step retreat. The Sword Demon’s movements stop unnaturally.

“……?!”

Runia’s foot is pressing down on the top of the Sword Demon’s foot. A momentary retreat failed. That leads to a fatal miss.

“Get rid of it.”

Runia and the Sword Demon. We do not miss the gap created by Runia in the close combat where neither party can even swing their swords at the other.

The Three Schools of Death with Two Sides, Yonghyeolsa,

and Cheolpa.

A flank attack between me and Alisha. That──

“Huh…?!”

Throw yourself back. It’s as if he uses the air as a stepping stone to pull off an acrobatic evasion.

But don’t miss it. It took me a moment to be taken aback by the circus-like movements. The three of us rushed at the guy who had barely opened the distance.
