The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All - The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All chapter 354
It was truly a breeze.
The warped space that filled our surroundings began to twist even more violently.
In the meantime, I could feel the energy of other people and also realize that we are still around Antarctica, that is, around the World Tree.
When the energy of Minerva and Svengali, which could not be found even a trace, was felt little by little, Ariman’s screams filled with anger erupted.
“No, it can’t be… This cannot be!”
With those words, he began to struggle violently to get away from me.
As I was reflexively holding down as much as I could to keep him from escaping, I heard Sbangali’s urgent voice in my ear.
[Crazy, next door! Look sideways, sideways!]
Glancing at his words, I turned my head and saw a strange vortex that seemed to have distorted the space itself.
I felt an indescribable fear and anxiety at the whirlpool I saw for the first time.
… no.
It wasn’t the first time.
I’ve definitely seen that vortex.
That was the same vortex that I got caught up in with Gina the day I first came to this world.
Now all the memories I had forgotten came to mind.
“No, it’s been a while now… ! If only I had a little more time to get revenge on the guy who made me like this… !”
Ariman, who struggled with an urgent voice, did not feel the overwhelming power as before.
I instinctively threw myself on top of him and grabbed him tightly.
“You crazy bastard, let it go!”
“… why? We should go together.”
He was taken aback and startled at my words.
“What?”
“Did you? He wants to go back to the original world with me. I will do as you wish. Come on, let’s go together.”
“This crazy bastard… !”
Ariman continued to struggle to get away from me.
I just gave more strength to the hand that was holding his body.
… In fact, I had already realized that it was enough.
It was because me and the guy were already within range of the vortex.
Now I knew instinctively that there was no way out of that vortex anymore.
“Ugh!”
Suddenly, an unknown force struck me violently.
I flew in the air with a bang and flew away, and I muttered as I fell to the ground.
“… I’m sorry, Minerva. Sbengali.”
I apologized to those two who were quietly listening to me.
“I didn’t want you two to get caught up in this way. I’m serious.”
[She doesn’t care at all. So don’t apologize, sweetheart.]
Minerva said with a smile.
[You can be with the one you love until the very end, how can you not be happy with your mother?]
[What… If I had to put it that way, I was destined to die then anyway.]
Sbangali made the loudest and loudest snapping sound ever.
[But how can I come and complain to you now?]
He sighed quietly and said.
[Well, it’s been a lot of fun so far… It was quite satisfying. I’m also serious.]
“Uh, ah… ! ah… !”
After blowing me away, Ariman tried to get out of there right away, but couldn’t.
Because the vortex had long since engulfed us.
Now I really couldn’t run away.
With an ominous feeling that came to my mind, I quickly turned my head and looked around.
Fortunately, Sooyoung was sitting far away from the whirlpool.
I was really lucky that she wasn’t involved as much as I did when I noticed something familiar floating in front of her.
It was none other than a notification window with a red warning.
“Ji, Jihyuk… .”
She looked at me with trembling eyes and pointed precisely to the status window that appeared in front of her.
“this… What is it? Mo, my body doesn’t move… ”
She didn’t even have time to think about why the status window suddenly appeared.
It was because Ariman rushed to me as soon as I saw that [Quest has been created] in the notification window that appeared in front of her.
“Ouch!”
I slapped the chin of the running guy, but he didn’t care and slapped my hand with a hole in it.
As I backed away from the dizzying pain that seemed to flash in front of my eyes for a moment, Ariman rushed at me as if attacking me.
We just rolled into one mass and rolled on the ground.
The guy quickly took a stance and slammed his injured palm down with his knee.
Ariman said, holding my neck harshly as I let out a silent scream.
“… Do you know what you guys are doing now?”
As if to take a look, he pressed my head down and forcibly turned his head to the side.
There was already a vortex that seemed to envelop me and Ahriman.
“That, do you know what that is? It hasn’t appeared yet. It means you shouldn’t have appeared in front of me already… !”
“You know, then.”
I rolled my eyes while being crushed by him and looked at him and said,
“By the way, what the World Tree told me… there was.”
“what… ?”
“If an unqualified person tries to cross the dimension… Existence itself is torn to shreds, forever wandering between them. Thanks to the World Tree, I know a little bit of experience.”
As he looked at him while holding his breath, his face gradually filled with fear and anger.
“With what I deserve, even though I’ve only experienced it a little, it’s really… I’d rather die But do you have that qualification too? I don’t think so… .”
As I endured the pain, I giggled and smiled.
“Why aren’t you talking?”
As he giggled and burst into laughter, he snapped and clenched his teeth.
“Are you looking forward to it?”
“Hey, you bastard like that!”
As it was, he swung his fists with the force to crush my head.
But before that, something that had escaped from my shadow was swung like a whip with a frightening force.
It was none other than Minerva’s tail.
“Minerva, you dare a b*tch who should have died sooner!”
Then, the branches that made up Sbengali’s body stretched out of my arms and shot towards Ariman.
Ariman, who flew to avoid Minerva’s tail, could not dodge even that.
“Sbangali, even you!”
Ahriman began to rough the branches entangled in his body.
Meanwhile, something suddenly touched my hand.
“yes?”
Ariman exclaimed in an angry voice as he was amazed at the tree branch that had handed him something he had never thought of.
“If I had stayed still, I would have died even finely… !”
In fact, Minerva, Tails, and Sbangali’s bodies were collapsing as if they were melting in an instant.
At least to buy a little time, they were willing to throw themselves away.
Their painful screams seemed to echo in my ears.
“Ugh?!”
When I woke up, I was already flying my whole body towards him.
The guy and I, bound by the branches of Svengali, were just touched by the whirlpool… .
“No, no… !”
Ariman’s body that touched the vortex literally turned into powder and began to be sucked into the vortex.
“Ahhh!!!”
Ahri, who was struggling, suddenly jumped up and grabbed my body.
The guy who had already started to crumble into powder all over his body began to mutter in a desperate voice.
“I can’t do this, I can’t… If only I had a little more time, I could have brought him down, the one who made me like this, and I, I, could have taken his place… !”
“Ugh, what kind of power… !”
The ankle that was caught by Ariman literally felt like it was going to break.
His body was gradually swept away by the vortex and disappeared into powder, and I was also caught by the vortex and slowly began to be dragged into the vortex.
“Jihyuk!”
Sooyoung was running to save me.
Before yelling not to come, she bumped into something and fell back.
“What, what! What the hell is this!”
She screamed with an urgent voice and began to slam the invisible wall with all her might.
She looked like she couldn’t understand the English language, but unlike her, I could.
We could see each other, but we were already in different worlds.
“… Why don’t you just give up?”
I looked at Ariman as he grabbed my ankle and tried to somehow get out of the vortex.
He opened his mouth, carefully squeezing what Sbangali had handed him a moment ago.
“Even if we get out of there, it doesn’t mean anything. You and I are already trapped in this vortex. Can’t you hear me?”
“Shut up!”
Ariman said as he pulled himself out with a hard time.
“You don’t know, how long have I been? I mean, have you endured to get revenge on him? !”
“Well… .”
Contrary to Ariman’s words, I was able to understand his heart to some extent.
I don’t know what happened, but the memories that must have belonged to him were vividly coming to me.
Maybe because he and I have been identified as he said.
Maybe because of the peculiarity of this warped space.
Either he or Sooyoung said, because blood was mixed and the guy and I resonated temporarily.
If not, it may be because of that mysterious whirlpool.
Actually, the reason didn’t really matter.
What was important was that the years he had endured and lived up to now began to seep into me.
Like me, I fell into this world without knowing anything.
He changed desperately in order to survive in the cruel reality.
All of the friends I had a close relationship with died one after the other.
Kill to survive.
Killing and killing and killing and killing all the time, I am left alone.
When I wake up, the way back is already gone.
In the end, the names and sins of all the people he killed and the Seven Evil Species were covered.
In the end, the memory of the guy who lost his purpose and only had the will to get revenge engulfed me and slowly faded away.
Where the hell did you hear the story?
‘Ariman’ is the name of an evil god in a certain myth, and although it was a great demon capable of devouring the world, in the end, even he was only a creature, so it is destined to be defeated and disappear.
I’m sure I’ve heard of such a thing.
The guy and I were the same.
Maybe I became Ariman, and Ariman could have become me.
so that… .
“If I ask you one thing, you… Did I mention that I arranged and prepared everything I had up until now? I was all anticipating what I was going to do.”
In response to my question, Ariman looked at me as if he was talking nonsense.
I smiled slowly and lifted what I had hidden behind my back.
The first thing I got that fell into this world in my hands.
Nidhogg’s fangs were gripped.
“Then why did you put this into my hands in the first place, now you know what I’m going to do with it?”
“Hey, you crazy bastard… .”
Ariman said so in a trembling voice.
Perhaps this was the last duty and duty given to me.
“Oh, come to think of it, the World Tree must have bloomed right above us… Isn’t that something ironic?”
Ariman shook his head blankly and shouted.
“Come on, wait. Wait, no, it can’t end like this… !”
“bye.”
Without hesitation, I smashed Nidhogg’s fangs.
Most of his body was gone and the guy hanging from my ankle had no way of avoiding it.
[Congratulations.]
[You have cleared the game.]
… The last notification window appeared in front of me.
really.
Now it was really the last.
