I Killed the Academy Player - I Killed the Academy Player chapter 94
sun – cloud solas(2)
The next morning we met at Uskias’ house.
Me, Yuel, and Sister Aden.
On the Skias side, there are several gloomy groups wearing robes. Since they’re the ones Skyes takes, they must be monsters related to the ‘Shady Village’.
An old man with a uniquely different atmosphere. I’m going crazy. did you come to this guy?
“I will announce the second task.”
“Second? Was there a first task?”
Arisha tilted her head and asked a question. You look tired, maybe you haven’t slept, are you okay?
“The first task was already paid when entering this city.”
“When you enter the city… is that the spell of deception?”
Uskias nodded at Runia’s guess.
“It was a qualification test to see how far you could go to achieve your will… whether you had unshakable confidence in your own justice. You guys have sufficiently proved your selves.”
Indeed, in short, it was a task about how much I believed in myself and how to act.
Even though I was like that, seeing as I passed through Runia and Arisha, both of them must have no hesitation in my actions.
“Um… that, I don’t think it was that far…”
Arisha hesitated, raising her hand in denial.
“Arisha.”
“Yes, four? Brother-in-law… no, Mr. Corinne!”
“Hmm? Anyway, don’t belittle yourself too much. Be confident. You’re sticking to your convictions.”
“Uh, uh… that, that’s…”
Even cold sweat was running down Arisha’s forehead. Are you tired too? Runia helped as well, tapping the crown of her head, who seemed to be lacking in confidence.
“No matter what your actions and justice are, persevere firmly. Human power originally emanates from one’s own will.”
“I-I don’t think that’s possible…”
Arisha’s eyes are tight and she’s dizzy. should i rest
“Arisha. If you’re tired, take a break.”
If it was dead, Yuel would step out and try to let Arisha rest.
“Gwa, it’s okay. How can a sinner like me…”
“What do you mean?”
I don’t know why, but anyway, Uskias added a message before revealing the task.
“The druids who accompany each of them will help with the task. For Corin Locke, the druid of Avelorn Yuel will give advice. For Dun Skys, Esus’ representative, Dumnorix, will give advice.”
I turned to the robed old man next to Skys. In a way, he is more threatening than Skys.
Legislator Dumnorix.
Tates Baltazar’s right-hand man was a druid who perfectly supported Tates Baltazar’s usurpation among the druids who kept neutrality against the sage-level druids.
In other words, those who want to come to paradise. First you have to tie his hands and feet.
“Sage Uskias. I want to make one thing clear.”
“What is it, young hero?”
“This time, getting help from the druids is okay, but intervening in battle is prohibited in advance.”
“Kkeeheehee! I heard that? Doom?”
“·······.”
The old man in black robes, Dumnorix, headed this way. The white-white eyes pierce right through me.
“The task will not be accompanied by a struggle.”
“After the task is done? The one who didn’t get it will try to take the back of the one who got it anyway, but if the druid doesn’t keep neutrality and attacks us, it’s difficult.”
“hmm······.”
Uskias seemed to be pondering the neutrality of the druids and whether he should enforce it.
They are basically communitarian, but they do not deny individual judgment.
If you’re on either side, UL or Dumnorix, you’ll think you have no right to stop it.
But at the same time you will think like this. Yuel is a druid, and Dumnorix is a sage-class druid. There must be an equity issue.
“I promise to geas. Both sides will understand the result of the task and will not attack each other for 60 days from now.”
“Hehehe?”
For a moment, Skye’s eyes flashed. Yeah, it’s incredibly attractive only for you, right?
“How is it, Doom? I think ‘I’ is okay?”
“······Agree.”
Before commencing the task, we pledged Gears under Uskias’ mediation.
The content is as I said.
Including myself, Runia, Arisha, and Yuel do not attack the group of Skys, and they do not attack us either.
It’s simple, but that’s why it’s a vow that strongly restricts us. The moment you break this oath, it takes your life.
“That should be enough. Then, I will announce the second task. It is to find a tree that has communicated with God and make a staff.”
“I understand the wand… but what the hell is it about interacting with the gods?”
“Take the advice of the druids. They have the knowledge. The deadline is before sunrise tomorrow morning.”
Hmm, in the first place, this unexplored land could not be entered without the help of the druids. From the first task to the last task, the help of the druids is needed.
Fortunately, I have understood this to some extent as a reward for the precepts I received when I killed Permak.
Realizing the existence of Pindias in the first place and noticing the connection with the ‘solar eclipse’ was the knowledge gained as a reward.
‘In other words, this is the process of a gigantic task to reach the sky, the sun. The problem is that I don’t know the details of the process.’
“This task is not about winning or losing. Just seek it. In this just process, you will have a chance to reach the sun.”
After Uskias’ last words, we gathered together. Arisha was the first to speak.
“Mr. Yuel! What do you mean by looking for a tree that communicated with God?”
“Druids who became sages of the forest make special wooden staffs.”
I pointed at Yuel’s staff. Constructed of old oak, her wand is quite handmade.
However, in
“We need to find an oak tree that has mistletoe parasitized on it, Panacea, right?”
“Yeah… how did you know?”
“I read the book related to the five characters together.”
Actually, in the game, you can’t say you got it while clearing a quest to match your final equipment. Yuel moderately agreed.
“Were mistletoe and oak a special material symbolizing death and resurrection and communication with the gods in the Druid faith?”
“Yes, so I interpret the mistletoe-infested oak tree as a trace of interaction with the gods. It actually serves as a powerful magical medium.”
I understood the content of the task. The question now is how to find it. Runia expressed disapproval.
“It won’t be easy.”
“What are you talking about, sister? I think I’ve seen mistletoe around the house quite a bit.”
“The ‘oak tree’, which is parasitic for mistletoe, is an important part.”
“Panachea… Mistletoe is usually parasitic on beech or hackberry trees. Mistletoe on oak trees is not common.”
From noble mtl dot com
It would be more likely than a jujube tree struck by lightning, but it would not be common to find an oak tree parasitic with mistletoe in this vast sea of water.
“But if I ask the spirits, the chances of finding it will increase dramatically.”
But we had druids. A representative of nature, loved by the forest. Trees and spirits are friendly enough to create houses and cities for themselves.
“Okay, let’s head to the forest first.”
We immediately ran into a challenge.
The spirits did not respond to Yuel’s request.
* * * *
“It’s a big deal.”
Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?
Yuel put on an embarrassed expression and an apologetic expression.
“Aren’t the spirits responding?”
“Rather than that… the majority…”
“It flowed towards Skys.”
I couldn’t help it. The opponent is the sage of the forest. In comparison, Yuel is a young druid who has only learned a few secret arts.
For the spirits, there is no choice but to prioritize the wise men of the forest who have contributed to nature for a longer period of time.
“It’s not a speed battle… but at this rate, will we be able to find the mistletoe oak by tomorrow morning?”
“If you’re unlucky… bad.”
It’s a perfect lottery. It is not easy to find an oak tree in this wide sea of floods, but it is close to impossible to find an oak tree parasitic even with mistletoe.
Unless you get help from a myriad of spirits with the help of druids.
“Corin!”
It was then. Arisha waddles a tree branch that is taller than her.
“Mistletoe! I found mistletoe!”
It seems that while we were thinking about it, it jumped directly into our bodies.
“That’s a hackberry tree, Arisha.”
“Eh? Mistletoe… I cut it beautifully.”
Arisha put a mistletoe parasitic hackberry into the ground with a sullen expression. As if I’m sorry for not being able to do it, I carefully express my opinion while looking at the hackberry tree and UL I brought.
“Um, is there a way…?”
“Tell me, Arisha.”
“For example, driving mistletoe into an oak tree…”
“Then it loses its shamanistic meaning.”
“hmm······.”
“I heard that there is a secret technique that makes plants grow rapidly in the Druid’s secret technique. Can’t you grow mistletoe seeds and oak seeds together?”
“Plants that grow rapidly return to their original state quickly because they are expanded only with magic power without any nutrients. They won’t even last until tomorrow.”
Rapid growth… Hmm?
“Yuel. Can you find the oak tree?”
“If that’s the case… it’s not difficult.”
“That’s enough.”
I shook the glass bottle I had brought with me before leaving for the East Coast. A hidden card prepared to ascend to the sky, shining with brilliant golden light.
I plan to try that convenience.
* * * *
The next morning, Dun Skys giggled at the heavy oak staff in his hand.
“It’s pretty~ isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is, Mr. Skye.”
subordinates who chide in. Although, when entering Pindias, most of them could not stand the first task and fell away, and it did not help much.
The work was done by Lawmaker Dumnorix. still······.
“Who is Ching-gu who made the cane?”
Skys giggled and praised the man who made the wand.
“Our ching-gu! Ching-gu ching-gu! Skys will praise you!”
“Ahhh······.”
Despite being praised, the subordinate wearing a robe had a pale complexion. He gulped as he grabbed the silver rosario from his necklace.
He knows how Skys ‘eaten’ a fellow priest he used to call his friend. That’s why Skys’s praise made her complexion pale.
“Sah, save me.”
“Eh? What’s the matter, our Ching-gu?”
“Lord, I don’t want to die.”
“All humans die——!!”
Skye’s voice rang out loud. His eyes turn purple, and something creeps up from the hem of his coat.
“Our Ching-gu. Don’t you want to ascend? We’ll help you ascend… The world is cruel and the people who can grow are limited?”
Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.
Gently, the serpent’s tongue licks the man. By the time the duster coat wriggles and transforms into a grotesque shape.
“Skais. Sage Uskias is watching.”
“·······.”
Skies stepping back. Soon, Corinne and her companions also came from the other side.
“Hi, little Corinne. Is your wand as thick and hard as mine?”
“Others will misunderstand if they hear it.”
“Hee hee hee…!”
Skyes liked that boy. What kind of expression would you make if you put that pretty head on a tray and take it to the goddess?
The poor queen who has been sealed by the king since 80 years ago and has to wander the world with a hard fake body.
What if even the last disciple returned to his miserable appearance?
“Yes, did you make a wand well? I don’t see many spirits there.”
It wasn’t easy to approach because of Runia’s innate sense of humor, but I only found out that the spirits handled by Yuel there were only fires and less than ten.
On the other hand, only 1,000 spirits were helped by this side. Finding the oak tree was easy.
“Yuell, show Ham.”
“yes.”
Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?
Yuel pulls out a large staff from the hem of his robe. It was a large oak staff with mistletoe parasitic on it.
“Are their wands bigger and harder?”
slap! Skys turned to the subordinate who made the wand. The subordinate’s lips trembled.
“How did you do it? I must have run out of time to find it.”
“If you want to lay someone else’s hand, shouldn’t you bet something?”
“Hee hee hee…! That’s right? How long will it cost?”
“I’ll let you know if you hand me one of the spears of light or the stone of fate.”
“It’s at home.”
“Then it’s a breakdown.”
A bit of nerve warfare. And Uskias, in the form of a leopard, walked.
“Everyone did a great job on the second task. Everyone passed.”
Uskias did not delay any longer. He immediately announced the third task.
“There is a magical rowan tree that bears red fruit in the forest to the north from here. You can bring it.”
We did not take that word at face value.
* * * *
This is a flood sea with many monsters, so much so that it is called the Demon Mountains, but there are definitely areas that monsters avoid.
For example Pindias. A magical border spreads across the city, blocking access and sending it back.
And… other monsters cannot recklessly invade the territory of an overwhelmingly strong individual.
“This way.”
outside the mystery. It’s an awkward situation where Uell and Dumnorix are in the lead, and Skys and me are walking side by side.
“Little boy, little boy. Do you like toads?”
“I like bullfrogs. They taste like chicken.”
“Euhehe…! I hate you!”
Do you like me? That was when I was about to get away from him.
“I told you not to call me!!”
Skies screamed in a fit of panic. This guy is trying to grab me by the collar——
“Hee hee, no. No. You mustn’t break the oath. Hee hee hee…!”
“100 million?!”
Skias’s arm stretched out toward the robe-in behind him. Robin, who was caught by the collar in an instant, was thrown to the floor as it is.
“I! Called! I told you not to…!”
Skias, who is insanely frenzied, strikes the Robin with his fist. It took less than 3 seconds for the Rob-in to turn into a mush due to his strength.
I wondered why he bothered to bring his subordinates with him, but was it to make him a scapegoat every time he had a seizure like that?
A time bomb has a timer, but that guy is like an unexploded bomb that has already been stepped on. I don’t know when it will explode.
“It’s about to arrive now.”
At Doomnorix’s words, our eyes turned to the other side of the sea.
An empty vacant lot soon appeared. We immediately found rowan trees with red berries, and found something behind them.
“No, that’s ridiculous. Why didn’t you notice until now?
What I thought was a cliff over there. No, exactly what was ‘recognized’ like that.
– Turn it off!
A dissonance created by the movement of something that has not moved for a long time.
Until the trees, fruits, and accumulated dust that grew up with it as food became a mountain. How long must it have been?
“·······.”
“·······.”
While everyone was stunned and stopped, ‘it’ opened its eyes.
“······Giant.”
At Arisha’s words, I inadvertently let out a blank laugh. That’s not like a giant. Even a giant is like a baby compared to the 70m tall guy.
Master… before Erin Danua’s family even ruled the world. The gods of the first era that only exist as settings and occasionally shed traces of them.
Sky Titan.
The same race as the Sky Titan that protects the sun of Pindias, and the name of
