My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well - My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well chapter 38

38 – Gate Exploration (5)

The current dungeon is the residence of the Venom Arcus clan.

It was a word he could never get over.

Venom Arcus is a ‘fiend’.

Unlike monsters, the only case that demons could cross through the gate was the ‘invasion gate’.

There are times when dungeons possessed by demons are passed through special gates, but this only corresponds to possession, and there were no cases where the demons themselves passed over.

An invasion gate that opens once every 10 years.

This was the reason why the war that occurred through him was called the ‘Evil War’ rather than the ‘Monster War’.

“I have to go back.”

Leaving behind Professor Python, who is undergoing difficult treatment.

Dean Darrenstud opened his mouth in a heavy voice.

“It is a complete miscalculation. I can’t seem to rule out the possibility that this dungeon came through an invasion gate. We have to organize a new magic corps that can hunt Venom Arcus and attack.”

“It’s not possible.”

But at the end.

Professor Bluecliffe, who led the actual formation of the party, raised an objection.

An incomprehensible backlash against the argument that we should take a step back.

All eyes were on Professor Bluecliffe.

“Venom Arcus is a clan of demons. They have intelligence like humans, and they can think and move. Since Professor Python has already been attacked by them, he should know that an intruder has occurred.”

To that, the Dean of Darunstud replied in a cold voice.

“What does that have to do with backing down now?”

“They might run away!”

Suddenly, Professor Bluecliffe’s voice rose.

His eyes seemed to be possessed by something.

There were a lot of bloody feet standing there.

Anxiety came over me at the sight of that strange sight.

The words he muttered before entering the dungeon.

Concerns derived from the self-talk that only I heard…

It felt like becoming a reality.

“As long as we know that these cursed scum live in this dungeon, we must catch them. You must not let them run away. You have to kill them all!”

Hitting the wall of the aisle vigorously, Professor Bluecliffe insisted on clearing the dungeon.

And when I saw it, I was able to realize it.

His self-talk that I heard earlier.

The current situation that screams in evil.

It was clear that Professor Bluecliffe had suffered something from ‘Venom Arcus’ in the past.

The purpose of the gate exploration given by the academy’s special order.

Very intense enough to throw it all away and become engrossed.

“… Professor Bluecliffe, calm down a little. I don’t know what you’re so obsessed with, but dungeons don’t disappear just because you escaped once.”

Seeing Professor Bluecliffe so excited, even the Dean of Darunstud calmed him down.

And that was not a false story.

A dungeon is always there as long as it has a special gate.

If the gate disappears when the capture is complete, the dungeon will also disappear…

This is the story of the end of the attack.

If you leave the dungeon without completing the raid, of course the dungeon will still exist.

Just because we step back for a while, it’s not the kind that disappears.

But Professor Bluecliffe shook his head with clenched fists.

“It can disappear.”

“… What do you mean?”

As if he had calmed down a little compared to earlier, Professor Bluecliffe’s voice became calmer.

“The Red and Dark Gate is a double gate created through fragments of the Eternal Stele. After making an invasion gate by borrowing the form of a special gate, bring a certain area of the demon world in the form of a dungeon. Since it is an artificially created gate, it can also be artificially removed through fragments of the Tomb of Eternity.”

Moment.

The atmosphere inside the dungeon became chilly.

Because shocking words poured out of his mouth.

Fragments of the Eternal Tombstone.

double gate.

artificial creation.

Unfamiliar words that would normally ask him what it was were coming out of him so naturally.

… As if that was a normal story.

Professor Python, who was suffering from addiction.

The dean of Tariere, who spreads divine magic with all his might beside him.

The Dean of Darunstud, Professor Meline, and I too, who continued the conversation.

I looked at him with disbelief eyes.

And from the mouth of Professor Meline, who was watching.

“too… You know the details.”

The question everyone was swallowing came out cautiously.

“like… ”

After taking a moment to catch your breath.

The next words you say slowly.

“… Just like the professor made this gate.”

at that point.

Professor Bluecliffe flashed his head.

It was as if he had been waiting for that story.

“Exactly, Professor Meline. After two years of close research, I succeeded in building this gate. This gate is no different than a lifetime masterpiece containing the essence of all my gate theories and magic circuit theories.”

“… … .”

“Then you will ask again. Why the hell did you make such a strange gate? hahahaha. The reason is surprisingly simple.”

I barely resisted being startled.

His face that came into sight…

It was because he was tainted with an uncontrollable madness.

“Venom Arcus, you can’t even chew on it, because those scum took my wife! Because she died in an unknown hell! Didn’t I have the right to decapitate those bastards? huh? For revenge, shouldn’t we create a gate and bring those worms back?”

He shouted and hit the wall several times.

“It’s been four years! 2 years just to make the gate, 2 years just to find the location of the created gate. I’ve been waiting for this moment for four years! Thanks to Sachere-kun, I finally found the location of this gate. Get out of here? You never know when those scum will run away.”

His voice, filled with rage, echoed through the aisle.

“Absolutely not! It shouldn’t be! That’s an insult to me and my dead wife, who have been preparing for four years!!”

Hearing the scream, we were speechless.

His behavior is shocking and something is off.

Everyone knew that it was revenge in the wrong way.

However, it was also true that he could not be calmly restrained from crying out in sorrow over the loss of his family.

After Professor Bluecliffe poured out the stories contained inside.

He looked back at us with cold eyes.

“I have to go this way, even if I am alone. If you’re going to go away, you go away. Don’t expect to be disturbed.”

trudge.

Behind the astonished professors, the sound of his weak footsteps could be heard.

I watched it with complicated eyes.

His back as he entered the dungeon seemed endlessly empty.

* * *

To say the conclusion first, Professor Bluecliffe couldn’t move forward as it was.

I said that I would go alone, talking about this and that, but…

It was because there was no way the faculty would let him do something close to a crime.

As soon as he turned his back, Dean Darrenstud used the scabbard to stun him.

Afterwards, they all escaped the dungeon together, using the [Magical Restraint] to restrain them so that they could not escape.

And now.

We were staying for a while at an inn located on the outskirts of the ecliptic.

“Really… It’s unbelievable.”

In the room, Professor Melaine grabbed her temple and said.

unbelievable thing.

It was literally a series of unbelievable shocking truths.

Professor Bluecliffe, who lost his wife to ‘Venom Arcus’ in the Demon War four years ago.

Blinded by that vengeance, he conducted research on how to summon demons, and as a result, he succeeded in creating a double gate.

However, even after making it, the location of the gate was unknown, and now, two years later, I was able to confirm it with my discovery.

After that, I tried to annihilate all of ‘Venom Arcus’ through dungeon exploration… .

This was the truth that Professor Bluecliffe had revealed with his own mouth.

And I still have a hard time accepting that fact.

Professor Bluecliffe was the only professor at the academy besides Professor Meline that he was friendly with.

He was the professor of the first lecture I was interested in, and I received my first high grade in that lecture.

When I see myself, I always tell boring stories about transferring, but I knew that it was because I valued my ability and was interested in research with me.

Besides, Delia Bluecliffe.

One of my only two close juniors.

After learning that Professor Bluecliffe was her father, they used to feel closer than before.

Someone who thought he was building a bond in his own way.

It was hard to believe that such a person would do such a ridiculous thing.

It was simply that humans directly summoned demons…

It wasn’t that kind of problem.

Before exploring the dark red gate, I had uncovered the cause of this incident and knew the whole story.

civilians died

Most of the workers at the factory died from the poison that spewed out from the entrance of the gate, and Morphine’s mother also survived after suffering from poisoning for two years.

A party of warriors who had nothing to do with the factory also died from drinking well water.

This gate, created by Professor Bluecliffe, was no different from a “monster” that had already killed dozens of people just by existing.

“… What will happen in the future?”

“well. What is certain is that Professor Bluecliffe will be taken to the Imperial Court for interrogation. If what he did is true, it belongs to a very serious crime.”

I also nodded heavily at Professor Melaine’s words.

It’s a pity that his situation was, but the method was far off.

The crime of indirectly killing dozens of civilians was absolutely unforgivable.

“Rather than that, Professor Python’s treatment is urgent.”

Her brown eyes turned to mine.

“Sacher, you are more expert in making a special antidote for Venom Arcus’s poison, so I will assist you. Are you certain of the possibility of producing an antidote?”

I nodded and replied.

“Originally, it could be produced only when there was a medium involved in poisoning, but now Professor Python has been poisoned for less than a day, so it seems possible without it. I’m thinking of extracting the special magic that was put into the poison by attempting magic response to the professor’s body.”

“hmm. Then I will supply the basic materials needed for the antidote, and Sacher, you have to extract the special magic power. There are no special workshops around, so we have to make an antidote in this room today.”

“All right.”

Professor Meline robbed her seat and stood up.

As I briefly checked when I came out of the dungeon earlier,

There are about five types of poison that seeped into Professor Python’s body.

The venom of Venom Arcus varies greatly in strength and level depending on the type.

If Morphine’s mother suffered from the lowest poison, most of Professor Python’s poisons were from the upper-middle class.

Perhaps Professor Bluecliffe’s wife was also poisoned by this high-level poison and died without enduring much time.

This was one of the reasons why, even after I cured Morphine’s mother, I couldn’t conclude that Venom Arcus was the cause of the poison.

Having already experienced Venom Arcus through Karin, I thought it was too weak to be their poison.

In any case, the level of poison Professor Python was poisoned with was all very high.

Therefore, it was good to finish detoxification in a short period of time, both in terms of treatment and aftereffects.

From now on towards the end of the evening, enough time was needed to make all the antidotes for those poisons.

Today was a series of shocking events.

Maybe this day would not end, it seemed that it would continue a fairly long night.
