The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 175



The Table of Destruction (1)

“therefore···.”

After arriving at the principal’s office, I couldn’t help but frown as I quietly listened to Hilda and Diane’s conversation.

“That table of destruction or book of unknown origin that had been still for hundreds of years suddenly started moving and is now heading towards this place. I think it’s because of me, the vessel of sin. Is that right?”

“That’s right.”

“No, what on earth are they that they are targeting me, a vessel of sin? Are they some kind of cult that worships an evil spirit?”

“That’s right.”

“Why is this really… No, then let me ask. How do the professors know that those guys who worship the evil god have started to move? Did one of the professors belong to them and send news here, and then all of a sudden, all the news about him stopped?”

“That’s right.”

“No, did you just say ‘yes’ to everything I said? Why is it all true?”

“That’s not it.”

“···Then who is the professor that we lost contact with? Could it be Professor Jikel?”

“That’s right.”

Hilda answered with a solemn expression, and when I saw her, I felt as if my clothes were bursting, and I had to frown again.

It was a confusing and frustrating situation in many ways.

First of all, there was the existence of a group called the Table of Destruction.

According to Hilda and Dian’s story, they were a group that worshipped evil gods just as much as the Cult of Chaos, and they were a group with even more power than the Cult of Chaos.

But they say that group is coming all the way here to catch that guy named Nara.

It’s not that they’re scary. What’s really scary is that even though I’ve invested over 10,000 hours into the game, this is the first time I’ve heard of a group called the ‘Table of Destruction’.

It was absurd. A group with such great power was never mentioned in the game.

If that was all, I wouldn’t know. I asked just in case, and it turns out that Jikel was a regular member there. In addition, he said that he had been harmed in some way and that he couldn’t be contacted at all.

“Please tell me in detail, in detail.”

I clutched my pounding head and urged Hilda and Diane on, and they began to tell me the story in detail as I had requested.

Why does Jikel belong to the Table of Destruction?

How powerful is the Table of Destruction?

Whether they are a group that moves only in certain cases,

What kind of response are the Empire and the Holy Nation taking when they learn of this?

“So, to summarize the situation so far, the evil spirit was resurrected out of nowhere···.”

Up to this point, this was known fact.

“The Table of Destruction, followers of the evil god Bulginus, have raised an army and are coming here···.”

This is something I just learned today.

“To prepare for this, the Empire decided to send the Knights, including the Sword Master, and the Holy Nation decided to send the Crusaders, including Sir Michelan, here?”

“That’s right.”

“Then this isn’t war?”

It was such an absurd story that I felt embarrassed even though I said it myself.

War, and in this academy located on a remote island!

“Well, in a way, that’s what it is.”

“It’s a mess. But then what are we going to do with the cadets? Shouldn’t we evacuate them to another place until the fighting is over?”

“What are you talking about? When are the cadets going to attend classes with me at the Academy?”

“What are you talking about? No, those guys who are called the Table of Destruction or something, they’re really ruthless guys, aren’t they?”

“No matter how ruthless they are, they will never come to the Academy grounds. Because, we are more ruthless.”

“Okay, let’s say the Knights of the Empire and the Crusaders of the Holy Nation can easily stop them. But what if the evil spirit that has been resurrected comes in person?”

“Daphne said you could stop it?”

I was speechless. I wondered if it was something that could be decided so easily.

“No, what if I fall to the devil? A lot of innocent people might die?”

“It seems like the cadets haven’t really understood what I’ve been saying so far.”

“What do you mean I don’t understand? What you don’t understand right now is….”

“Camel.”

From noble mtl dot com

Suddenly, a wrinkled hand was placed on my shoulder as I was about to lose my temper.

My gaze naturally went up. I saw Hilda, who was talking nonsense, with a very serious expression on her face.

“We’re all going to die anyway.”

“···?”

“If you don’t defeat the evil spirit, we’ll all die anyway. Whether you stay here or hide far away, it doesn’t matter.”

Sigh, Hilda let out a deep sigh and looked straight into my eyes as she continued.

“That’s what an evil spirit is. Unfortunately, you’re the only one who can deal with such an evil spirit.”

“Why do you assume that I am the only one?”

“Of all the people I know, you are the only one who has actually eliminated sin. Whether warrior or swordsman, no one has ever truly eliminated sin except the warrior of the beginning.”

“···.”

“You know this too. No matter how many people fly and crawl here, there is not a single one who can strike a being more evil than sin with swords and magic. It has been that way in the past, and it will be that way in the future. So I shamelessly ask you to take care of this academy that means everything to me…”

Hilda said with an extremely serious face.

“Please watch over me.”

****

A campsite where about two hundred knights are encamped.

A knight in silver-white armor burst into the commander’s tent, breathing heavily and falling to one knee.

“Captain!”

Then, the commander who was sitting, Black Star Yan, frowned and turned his head towards the knight.

“what’s the matter?”

The answer came not from Jan, but from Darren, who was sitting next to him, studying the map. He looked at the knight, who was breathing heavily, and felt a strange sense of unease.

“And the whereabouts of the Table of Destruction guys have become unknown.”

“what?”

“What are you talking about? Tell me more. What on earth were the Royal Guards doing while they were gone?”

Darren put his hand on his forehead and questioned, while Jan narrowed his eyes and urged the knight to answer.

That would be the case, since Yan had ordered the Royal Guards to keep an eye on them. Also, they were setting up camp at a crossroads that they had to pass through to get to the Academy.

The reason they were encamped was clear.

Annihilation. Jan wanted to use his power to deal with all of the evil-infused corruptors before they could invade the Academy, the cradle of education.

But, what is this out of the blue? The whereabouts of those guys who have never been missed before have gone missing.

“Ah, they say he suddenly disappeared···!”

“Is that what you call it now! What were the Royal Guards doing that they lost track of those guys! They were passing through the Heiden Plains just yesterday…!”

Jan, furious to the core, slammed his fist on the table where the map was lying and shouted.

Darren stood up and tried to stop Jan, but he asked the frightened knight in a calm voice.

“How did that happen?”

“That, that···.”

“Don’t be nervous, and speak frankly. This situation is very important.”

“that···.”

The knight, who had been hesitating for some reason and mouthing the question, lowered his head and answered in a trembling voice.

“They say that, all of a sudden, it soared into the sky.”

“sky?”

“Soaring into the sky means….”

Darren and Jan’s expressions darkened instantly. It couldn’t have been otherwise. The knight couldn’t have been lying to them.

Of course, in reality, they wouldn’t all have soared into the sky. At best, they would have floated through the air for a while using magic to evade the surveillance of the royal guards.

The only problem was that they possessed enough magic power to fool the royal guards and fly through the sky.

This was a very serious story, because in Darren and Jan’s memories, there wasn’t a single thing floating through the air that wasn’t terrible.

“There must be a few left in the plains. Did you kill them? It would be really good if you captured at least one of them.”

Darren, who made a quick decision, asked the knight directly. How did he deal with those who did not have enough magic to fly?

“Oh, I’m sorry to say this, but… where the royal guards immediately headed, there was nothing….”

“How on earth is that possible?”

“That can’t be true.” Darren muttered softly, frowning as he became lost in thought.

‘Are there any corrupt people among the Royal Guard as well?’

If that was the case, then this was also a gloomy situation. However, no matter how much Darren thought about it, only two hypotheses came to mind.

First, there was an unidentified traitor on the Royal Guard side who let go of those with so much magic that they couldn’t fly.

Second, all of the people belonging to the Table of Destruction are strong enough to fly in the sky.

Whatever the answer, it was certainly not welcome news for Jan and Darren, who had been waiting for them.

“Have you searched the area around there, all over the Heiden Plains? Nothing has been found?”

For some reason, Jan’s voice became urgent and he asked the knight while shaking his fist, and the knight lowered his head once again and answered in a hesitant tone.

“That, that… It’s impossible to find anything. The Heiden Plain they were standing on….”

Jan and Darren couldn’t help but look dumbfounded after hearing the aftermath of the article that followed.
