I Became an Academy Regular - I Became an Academy Regular 242
◈ 103rd top lord (3)
[- Seo-Han. What happened?]
A voice full of doubts came from the Holy Sword. Since it’s the guy who is linked to me, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable. No matter how holy a sword is, you will never know what happened when the world paused. So it would be disappointing that the black salt disappeared in an instant.
“I will explain later. Now isn’t the time to talk leisurely, is it?”
[-No.]
chuck.
I pointed the holy sword at the manager. The body was soon revealed from the erosion as if it was nearby. The divine power flowing from the holy sword enveloped my body. The divine power that was amplified by the privilege is also seemingly intimidating.
The manager was watching carefully the aura of divine power emanating from me. Of course, as I experienced earlier, it was impossible to purify the Black Flame even with this divine power. This is because it is not made of pure erosion, but is a black flame full of impurities mixed with mana.
‘If that’s the case anyway.’
It was enough to use this in reverse to bluff.
“Did you feel how the black salt disappeared?”
I smiled with a relaxed expression on my face. In response to the provocation, the manager moved his hand to use the black flame again.
“Things like black salt don’t work for me. Manager.”
I could see the manager’s eyebrows twitch and move. The movement of creating black flames was slowed down for a while.
“…even though it wasn’t done by pure erosion, is it affected by divine power? This is unexpected, warrior. How can you wield such a sacred power on a young subject.”
“Yeah, that’s right. So I am a warrior.”
Having said that, I unexpectedly aimed the custom gun I had prepared earlier. A threatening sound emanated from the [Mattan] loaded in the chamber.
This is the range where Drakan’s personality can reach, so it is impossible to create [Matan]. However, at one point, Drakan, seen from behind the manager, had his personality sealed with a mask.
He saw a gun in my hand and quietly put on a mask to help.
‘After all, a wizard hunter. Because he has good sense.’
It moved one beat faster than the manager noticed the abnormality.
[Magnite] loaded with maximum output. Even at this close range, no matter how much black salt, it would not be able to stop it. Before the manager could react, he pulled the gun.
[Matan – 暴]
Taang! A recoil enough to bounce the muzzle upwards was transmitted through the arm. The manager was also quick to respond. Shows how the manager reacts in the field of vision slowed by [Concentration].
The black salt rising from the floor first collided with [Matan], so I used that short amount of time. At the same time, a blue line was quickly drawn from the manager’s hand. It could be said that there was no time needed to manifest magic.
‘what···!’
There was something I overlooked. Manager, for Aiden, defensive magic is an unconscious reflex that closes your eyes when something flies.
Even if you know in your head that you can’t use mana. The blue curtain that was created soon collided with the magic bullet.
The magic bullet could not penetrate the blue curtain. But it was powerful enough to break it. Aww! There was a huge explosion between me and the manager. The impact caused them to fly away and widen the distance from each other.
I rolled on the ground and got up quickly. It was to counteract the magic that might come flying.
[- Seo-Han, now is your chance! He’s not waking up!]
The Holy Sword grasped the situation faster than me. Unsurprisingly, the manager, who had fallen to the floor, could not easily get up. For the elderly, even a shock of this magnitude had quite an effect.
Then I saw a blue line drawn on my outstretched arm. Realizing that mana can be moved, the manager tried to unleash magic.
Even before he could call his name in a hurry, Drakhan had already taken off his mask. And personality kicks in. Once again, the flow of mana within the realm was blocked. The blue line that had flashed on the back of the manager’s hand quickly disappeared.
I threw my custom gun and ran towards the manager with a holy sword. Two minutes until the ‘personality seal’ is lifted. If I missed this opportunity, there was no answer.
“A rookie…!”
The manager, who got up late, swung his hand and spat out black flames.
A mass of black flames fly at high speed. I couldn’t take this anymore.
‘It’s enough to be hit once-!’
He glared at the black flame until the very end and swung his holy sword accurately. Wow! He bounced the weight of the fireball to the side.
Although the managers put their hands together once again.
“It’s already too late!”
That was after I reached the manager. He swung his holy sword towards the manager’s shoulder. It’s not an alter ego, this time it’s real. Scratch! A slight resistance was felt on the blade of the Holy Sword. Immediately, the manager’s right arm fell to the floor along with dripping blood.
Whoops! I knocked over the manager and aimed the holy sword. Even in this situation, the manager did not shed a moan mixed with pain. When I turned my head, Drakhan and Noah Park were coming, subduing the wizards and awakeners who rushed to this place.
“Now it’s over. Manager.”
The manager looking up at me had an absurd expression on his face. Perhaps because of the heavy bleeding, her face quickly turned pale.
“Heh, I was distracted. And you didn’t miss this opportunity. I wish I could die in vain like this…”
The manager, Aiden, did not beg for his life. Blood dripping from the cut arm soaked the robe. The manager looked at the holy sword that cut himself and asked.
“When I die, I will go down to the 48th floor, can you really kill me? How are you going to do the rear?”
The manager had clearly said it. If you kill yourself, the erosion that fills the 49th floor will start going down. But he had already declared himself not to do so.
“You wouldn’t.”
I turned my head as I listened to the noise of the battlefield. The manager looked where I was headed. Even in the crowded crowd from afar, she had a pretty appearance that stood out.
Unusual silver hair and red eyes.
It was impossible not to recognize such a characteristic appearance.
The manager who found Ellen let out a helpless laugh.
There was no way he would do that to himself after he had promised to kill Top-ju for the sake of the person he would protect. No, I can’t.
“…you are cunning for a young man, warrior. So what’s next? Do you think that Top’s child can really beat Top-ju?”
He shook his head at the question. If the 103rd top owner met me and even said that he would die, would this person believe me?
“I do not know. You may not be able to beat the top shareholder. I can, though.”
“Hmm. I see something. Just like when the black salt disappeared earlier…”
It’s also quick to see. Cool. Soon, the manager vomited blood helplessly. The blood that ran down his lips was emitting black smoke. The aftermath of the injury spreads quickly because erosion is injected into the body.
“Well, you’ll figure it out. It’s kind of like you’re killing me. I heard she’s on good terms with Ellen, and even if her granddaughter decides to, there’s bound to be a conflict.”
The manager slowly got up, ignoring my holy sword. When the Holy Sword saw that, he hurriedly shouted.
[- Seo Ji-han! Cut him fast! Are you going to be vigilant?!]
But I did not listen to the Holy Sword. Rather, the manager moved it to the side to make it easier to get up.
‘It’s no longer an enemy.’
From the moment the manager cut my arm, I couldn’t see any red on the rim. It meant that the system was no longer an enemy. He had no hostility, so there was no way he could do anything else. said the manager, who struggled to get up.
“How about your play?”
“theater···? Whoops!”
wow! The black flame that developed at a high speed hit my body. A heavy shock was felt in his abdomen. It happened right in front of my nose, so I couldn’t react and flew away. I rolled on the floor like before and got up quickly.
[-You idiot!]
He couldn’t respond to the Holy Sword’s pinzan. Could it be that the system is malfunctioning now? I hurriedly checked my body to see how far the black flame had spread—
The black flame didn’t devour me, and the embers were quickly extinguished. I looked at the manager reflexively. The manager standing in the distance glanced at me and headed towards Drakan and Noah Park, who were running in a hurry.
Black flames rose from the staggering back, and two weapons were swung. There was no such thing as a fight. The spear wielded by Drakhan pierced through the manager, drawing a black trajectory.
As I slowly pull out the window, I can see my open chest. The manager fell helplessly to the floor. Drakhan and Noah Park looked down at the corpse. There was a feeling on his face that could not be expressed in words.
[-··· Seo Han. Don’t worry about it for nothing. Think of what he’s been up to.]
Seeing that scene, the Holy Sword was useless worrying. I sighed at the Holy Sword’s reaction.
“Are you stupid? don’t do that I am not stupid.”
I rolled the most because of that person. In the end, there was no way I could have sympathy for something like that.
‘Only if there is something to contend with.’
I turned my head to look at Ellen. He did not know of his grandfather’s death yet.
After losing the boss, the battlefield gradually leaned towards the Confederacy. Soon, the enemy declared surrender, but only the wizards and awakeners of the top powers accepted the surrender. Of course, they too had to be disarmed and bound.
Necromancers, who are dangerous molecules, dealt with them regardless of their will. At least for the sake of safety, the Necromancer had to. This is because if they raise souls, even one person can create a large army.
The battle on the 49th floor was won. But that’s it. The damage was so severe that I suffered so much. Moreover, considering that there are monsters that have been strengthened by erosion from beyond the 50th floor.
Fortunately, the erosion that filled the 49th floor did not flow to the 48th floor, probably because it had just been cleansed by battle. The manager’s bluffing was evident.
After the battle, Astiel Gran was the busiest. Astiel, the candidate for a saint, worked hard despite being tired. The light emanating from her hand showed no sign of extinguishing.
There were too many contaminated people, perhaps because they had been fighting for a long time in the erosion. Paladins and priests who did not participate in the battle are also recovering on a large scale to help, but it is not over.
“ah. I’m going to leave the front line for a while.”
—The biggest problem is that Seo Ji-han, who handles the holy sword, decided to return to the Yoosung Academy due to an injury.
