I Killed the Academy Player

Valhalla (5)

Danan Erin Danua of Justice.

She is one of the very few gods in this era who retains her divinity.

The power that has lived in the age of ancient gods is truly called God.

-Quaaa!!

Rune wizard.

It is known that this magic, where letters have magical power, has limits to its destructive power.

The story changes when you become the highest-ranking rune magician of the current era.

『 ᛊ 』 ─ Sowilo

『 』 ─ Kenaz.

『 ᚢ 』 ─ Wool

『 ᚹ 』 ─ Win

『 』 ─ Hagalaz

『 ᛟ 』 ─ Osala

Rune after rune is connected into a sentence and engraved at high speed.

The era in which runes functioned as letters has come to an end, and in this era where runes have come to function only as magical and shamanic meanings, runes are a magic system that is inevitably destined to fall.

This is because the magical effect is activated the moment the rune is engraved.

Unless you use a special method called rune construction, runes are very difficult magic to use in practice, and even engraving runes with your fingers is difficult in practice.

A new rune is created before the effect of the rune disappears. In this way, it is made into a sentence rather than a word.

As for how skilled this is, it is rare to even have ancient survivors who can explain it.

-Quaaa!!

Einherjar is swept away by a storm of magic engraved with runes. Most of Thousand’s army couldn’t even get close.

“Graaa!”

However, the opponents are also God’s warriors. There is someone who focuses the auror even with a rotten skeleton body and tries to get close to it.

“That’s great.”

However, she is a master not only of strength but also of technology. The all-powerful hero god.

Whether it is an axe, a spear, or a sword, it is crushed and shattered the moment her spear flashes.

It carves rune emblems and at the same time performs close combat. Both strength and speed are outside the standards. Her vision encompasses the battlefield itself, and even her eyesight is not all she sees.

A martial arts that spans a thousand years.

The number, movement, steps, and energy of the enemy are all responded to by the martial arts engraved on the body.

-What?!

Broken──

-Kak!

Being cut off──

-Whoosh!

──I am overwhelmed.

Clearly, this side is ahead in terms of numbers and total strength. why?

Why are they the ones being pushed out?

“In this era, there are only a very small number of people who can face me head-on. You can’t beat me just by calling yourself a warrior of God.”

She is a god king.

She is the queen of paradise.

* * * *

The battle in Valhalla is over.

“Are you okay?”

“hahahaha… I got help at the end. I was able to finish it well.”

“hehehe, I guess so.”

Master accepted my bravado with a kind smile.

“The fashion… has changed?”

“I borrowed some from Brünnhild.”

“It’s pretty when it’s tied up, but it’s also pretty when it’s undone.”

In response to my praise, Master scratches his cheek and whispers.

“If you really think so… shall I show you separately later?”

“Oh······.”

It’s a mouth-watering proposition, but let’s think about it later.

“Ran and I will also take the live Valkyries.”

“You’re not finishing it?”

Master spoke coldly as he looked at the Valkyries lying around. Although half of them have already passed away…

“They are people who become obedient when they lose. There is no end to this.”

This is an experience from the previous episode. More than anything, it was sad to abandon the Einherjar that the Valkyries were carrying.

Letting them die meant that the hundreds of Einherjar they kept at the door would also be sealed away forever.

As I was supporting Geirahöd and Olun, who survived, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

“How do I get out?”

“I received permission to open the door from Brünnhild. Let’s go quickly.”

Master opened the space. It is the door to reality.

In the game, I took a quite cumbersome route of returning to another Valhalla through another Valkyrie and moving from there again, but this time it seems to be going in no time.

The real world returned like that. I knew the situation was complicated because I had heard it roughly from my teacher, but…

“······.”

“······.”

Return to the battlefield. There were no frost giants there.

“This time too… is it?”

* * * *

In the original work, the frost giant battle was a battle that raised many questions.

First of all, the process of confronting the frost giants is complicated.

Once you reach the mid-boss battle with the two wolves of the apocalypse, the infinite snake, and the valkyries, a five-phase strategy battle begins.

You must cut down a gigantic giant, chase a frost giant in the form of a young man, and even break through sub-space where time is separated.

When you barely reach the frost giant, he disappears.

Yes, it was the end of a final boss battle that was so ridiculous that all the users were screaming and asking what this was.

‘It went a little differently in the previous episode…’

“hmm···.”

He looked at Park Si-hoo, made a strange expression, and disappeared. Even great magic such as Park Si-hoo’s space taxidermy and great annihilation could not stop the frost giant.

“Still, it’s a bit too much to not even meet him.”

It was a strange reaction both in the original and in the previous episode, but at least I got to meet the player face to face.

They won’t even meet me face to face… I don’t know why.

* * * *

Once the frost giants left, the battlefield began to turn in an instant.

The giants fled as if following in the footsteps of the frost giants, and the monsters were annihilated by the massive human army.

Crucially, the power of the sun and Hwaran has returned.

“Waaa…!”

“It’s the sun! It’s Lord Corin, the knight of the sun!”

【War Rider】

– You become a symbol on the battlefield. It is the brightest standard-bearer in all wars and the center that must not fall.

– Get noticed on the battlefield. Abilities change depending on the envy of allies.

– If you fall, all allies will fall into psychological anxiety.

※The level of attention to you has reached 75%. All abilities increase by 30%.

The return of the sun and the absence of major names. The monsters running around without a commanding authority are just a ragtag bunch of numbers.

On top of the wall that was concluded like that. I gaze at the horizon, watching the sky slowly set.

“In the end… didn’t even the wolves of the apocalypse come forward until the end?”

It’s a strange thing. He stepped away as if he no longer needed it.

‘Butterfly effect… No, I don’t see the connection.’

I have done many things that have disrupted the affairs of state.

Marie was saved, the Hwaran… the Magic Tower and the Church…

What has changed more than anything is that the Master, who should have died at the hands of Tates Balthazar, survived unharmed. And that’s without Balthazar himself even appearing.

I can understand up to that point.

Unlike the previous episode and the original work, Balthazar’s allies have been greatly reduced.

The apostates of the Heavenly Arrival Sect of the New Church were purged by the hands of Saint Estelle, and the Magic Tower collapsed.

The destruction of the magic tower was a set procedure, but in the original case, the core forces, including the magic tower lord, should have escaped.

Dun Skies and Permak Daman, who were the strongest forces, died, and the subjugation of Miriam’s Mound failed, and the golden wolves Ren and Ron, who were supposed to replace the wolves of the apocalypse, were not obtained.

The current Balthazar is weaker than in the game, and even compared to the previous episode where Park Si-hoo, who was called the Demon God, was active.

The collapse of the Academy… It is not strange that Balthazar, whose power there was weakened, did not step forward in person. but······.

‘The fact that the frost giants got away so easily is a different matter.’

The frost giant battle, which should have been the game’s biggest boss battle, was so absurdly canceled? Before I feel fortunate, I feel anxious.

“Corin, what are you doing?”

It was Marie who approached me. She naturally sits next to me.

“I was thinking a bit. About the enemy’s intentions…”

“Because the frost giants disappeared?”

“······yes.”

“Didn’t you just avoid it because the war situation was going against you?”

“I gave up too easily for that.”

“Hmm…”

I am afraid.

In fact, perhaps all of this is a deception. Could it be that this road, which I have just passed so far, will burn out at the end?

In fact, I think we might be running towards a cliff…

I wonder if all of this is a trap for final despair… That kind of anxiety soars.

“everything will be alright.”

Marie’s warm hand covered the back of my hand. She grabs my shoulder and pulls me towards her.

“Corinne will do everything. I trust her.”

“Don’t trust too much. I failed too.”

“no.”

Marie shakes her head in denial. Her face shines brightly as if the smile will never leave.

“There is Corin. Even if Corin fails, there are people that Corin saved. There is me, there is Arisha, and there is Hwaran.”

“Everyone here right now is the sum total of what Corinne has done.”

“So don’t worry. I’m sure Corrin will do well.”

“hahahaha······.”

Those are really beautiful and thankful words. I get a sense of stability from her that I didn’t feel in the previous episode, which was busier than this.

“Let me borrow your shoulder.”

“Huh…! Oh, as much as you want!”

I lean my head on her shoulder and try to act silly.

“Senior is someone I’m really grateful to.”

“Well, is that right?”

“Actually, half of the reason I got here is thanks to my senior. Thanks to my senior, I was able to accomplish so many things.”

“Well, that’s not true! Corrin would have done it somehow.”

“it is not so.”

The same goes for accepting wild people. If Marie had not given her full support, the northern wildlings would not have been able to enter the wall.

Because there wouldn’t have been any food to feed them. It is difficult for me to imagine how much money was spent.

Marie endured a lot of bleeding. Just because I want to.

“Senior Marie…”

“Ko, Corin….”

Her golden eyes sparkle in the setting sun. Those are really pretty eyes.

Marie suddenly closes her eyes as she gazes into those ecstatically beautiful eyes.

‘Hmm?’

Is this… is that it? Implicit… that?

I can feel the saliva I swallowed go down my throat and my pulse is fast.

It’s okay… right?

I’m not stupid either. This atmosphere, tacit agreement…

-gulp!

Swallow. The light pink lips are so luscious.

No matter where you touch her body, it becomes soft like a marshmallow, so you reach for it without thinking.

“senior······.”

“Corin…”

Lips slowly getting closer. I also close my eyes and meet her──

-Tup!

Marie’s lips were as rough as the shaggy fur of a chimpanzee… Huh?

Just before I touched Marie’s lips, the bloody wound that covered my face separated Marie and me.

“Deokgu?”

“Crung…!”

Deok-gu suddenly jumped out from Marie’s shadow and grabbed my face with a hand the size of a pot lid…

“Graaa…!”

I just threw it over the wall.

“Koriiiin?!”

“Too ── Hanne ─── Steamed ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ────!”

Deokgu, I didn’t raise you that well!!

* * * *

The Demon Lord of the North.

The frost giant remembers a time when this place was a sacred place for the brilliant gods.

A huge ash tree rose to the far end of the universe, and its twigs covered the world of the gods.

The roots stretched out into the world and made this land prosper.

However, that too is a thing of the past.

Mimir’s spring dried up, its twigs burned, and the giant tree fell.

The center of myth disappeared, and the world lost its god. The age of mythology has ended.

This place symbolizes the end of myth. There was that man in the abyss that has now become the Demon World.

“You’re here. You’re still fast.”

“Nothing can be faster than me.”

Utgart Loki. The frost giant had the appearance of a young man.

“How was it?”

“There was no need to see him in person. What you said was not a lie. I sense the same karma as you from him.”

“yes?”

Balthazar twitched the corner of his mouth, saying that his archenemy’s growth was not something to be welcomed.

“That’s why we’re out of this fight. No matter which of you two wins, the result will be the same, so there’s no need to take sides and destroy each other. That’s it for us old men.”

Utgart Loki declared that he would withdraw from his army, including the Wolves of the Apocalypse.

Their power is great. Right now, the Wolves of the Apocalypse are the natural enemies of his archenemy, Corin Locke.

If Tates Balthazar was a proper commander, no, even a child would not have allowed this escape. however······.

“Yes, do that.”

Nevertheless, Balthazar easily let go of their hands.

“You let go easily?”

“Who can hold you? The mysterious giant.”

The nature of frost giants is different from that of gods. This is especially true of Loki of Utgart.

He is a mysterious giant.

A person who survived after toying with the God of Thunder and the God of Mischief.

It was a mountain ‘Skrymir’ that was so huge, it was ‘Hugi’ that thought faster than anything else, and it was a time ‘Eli’ that no one could endure.

He is not a fighting being, but a testing and measuring being. It is a concept of a story, not a divine position, and a riddle that tests ‘God’.

“You both have passed my test. You are powerful. Therefore, do not come to my realm again.”

The next moment, he was gone. He, in his ‘late’ form, is faster than anything else, so he may be on the other side of the world by now.

“This is the first time. There is someone other than me who has passed the frost giant’s test.”

Balthazar moved forward, stepping on the ‘tree branches’. At the end, at the end of the World Tree overlooking the whole world.

“Come, Corin Locke. I am here.”

The final fight was beginning.
