I Killed the Academy Player



A man’s life (2)

Form a battle line centered around the knights and break through the waves of the dead.

A knight is someone who handles auras and adds aura to their blades. For ghosts, aurors are natural enemies that can even cut down their spiritual bodies.

“The knight is in the lead! Let’s follow!”

“Support the Magic Division’s bombardment! Break through the hole!”

The firepower displayed by small, human-sized, high-powered weapons called knights and wizards was truly amazing.

It was as if he could break through waves filled with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of ghosts in an instant.

And at the forefront was Corinne.

‘I still can’t see it.’

Even though the knights and soldiers at the forefront were beating down the dead, Corin only ran in the lead and did not swing his spear. The reason is simple.

『I do not recognize spirits.』

His second precept. It prevents interaction with spirits and makes it impossible for them to interfere with each other.

It’s not that there is no method. Due to the nature of the dead, if the sun rises, they cannot survive for even a second.

Even if Corin recognizes them and sleeps, the strong purifying light radiating from the sun does not tolerate the existence of things that are distorted.

But that is a last resort. Although his magic power recovered quickly due to the effect of drinking Mimir’s spring, the magic power consumption of the sun is at the level of excessive use of gigantic magic.

He plans to save his strength until the ‘decisive moment’ he plans comes.

‘But there is a limit to what knights and wizards can endure.’

Knights and wizards are definitely high-firepower, high-output weapons that are difficult to compare to soldiers. In terms of modern warfare on Earth, it is something like a tank or fighter jet.

However, no matter how powerful a weapon is, there is a limit to the loaded ammunition.

Right now, they are overwhelming the waves of the dead, led by knights and wizards, but as soon as the remaining amount of aurors and magic power is revealed, that temporary firepower will subside in an instant.

‘It’s a fight with a time limit. The victory condition for this fight is ultimately──’

An evil dragon that is still crouching without revealing itself. Pulling it out and knocking it down.

“Identification of the coordinates of St. Jeruem’s choir. Appearance of the Cross of Purification.”

Once the wizard’s signal was identified, the rear units also began bombing. Due to the nature of this battlefield, purification-type magic specialized for ghosts is needed.

For this purpose, more than 100 priests and nuns poured their holy energy all together.

Tell me what to do.

The distant past, a mythical era when gods and giants still lived together with humans.

There was a very old blood line that continued the lineage of gods and giants.

Those who wield the power of holy power are beings who have inherited the lineage of gods and giants. Even if they themselves do not know its identity, the concept of ‘purification’ created through prayer is a special medicine for evil spirits who have not achieved Buddhahood.

“The fire support is solid.”

Miriam, who, despite being a princess, stood at the forefront to maintain this heightened atmosphere, was amazed as she watched the light of purification fall mercilessly.

“Thank goodness. It looks like the Spring of Urd has been conquered as well.”

Considering the ample support, it should have been assumed that the attack on other springs had already been completed.

“Who was there?”

“Marie-senpai and Master.”

Erin and Marie are strong people who are worthy of being considered the strongest of their time. No matter what was there, it wouldn’t have been easy to stop those two.

“So, if we just conquer this side, the capture of Sam will be over?”

“That’s right. It’s really after we conquer this spring.”

“What’s still left?”

“Well, don’t worry too much. This one has too many pages, so it’ll work out somehow.”

Now I don’t feel like questioning the knowledge of the original or anything.

this moment. The enemy’s power is stronger than you can imagine.

Even though I’ve put so much effort into it over the past three years, I’m no longer sure what’s happening again.

Inevitably, Corrin instinctively felt the need to ‘recreate the myth.’

This fight will probably be like that.

How long did it run like that?

“uh?”

A knight fighting at the forefront sensed something strange.

‘The dead were scared?’

The waves of the dead, which were already a mess, have collapsed to a strange degree.

To the point where it feels like there is a disconnect between the firepower of knights, wizards, and priests. And it wasn’t long before I felt it with my own skin.

-Goooooooooooo──!!

It’s creepy.

A chill down my spine.

It feels like lightning is running up my spine.

For a moment, I felt an eerie feeling that I couldn’t figure out why. A high-ranking wizard who was examining the battlefield with distant vision magic and vision improvement magic on and instructing the appropriate use of magic shouted in horror.

“Uh, front barrier! All available wizards deploy the barrier!!”

Unlike wizards belonging to the Magic Tower or the Guardian Association, the characteristic of war wizards is that they faithfully follow the military format.

The moment the wizard superior gave the order, all wizards serving in the kingdom’s army deployed a barrier at once.

Military barrier magic developed through thorough training and research. The Legion’s defense magic, which boasts high perfection and density with tightly woven magical power, blocked the front line with great majesty.

-Quaaa… not by!

And the next moment, an eerie energy pours out from the darkness.

A wave… no, a destructive form of energy, like a twig full of thorns, collided with the barrier… and the barrier deployed by the war magicians could not withstand it even for a second.

The soldiers were astonished by the sight, leaving behind a destructive trail as if a compressed storm had passed by.

“This damned lizard has breath from the first room…!”

Corinne couldn’t hide her irritated expression.

“Princess Mir… please!”

Now that everyone’s shock from Breath has not subsided, Corin does not hesitate to ask for Mir’s support.

“Are you sure you can do it?”

“Maybe I’m the only one who can.”

“I hope it’s not arrogance.”

Miriam poured magical energy into her staff’s familiar.

A huge snake materializes and the knights and soldiers temporarily leave the place.

The infinite snake she embodies quickly grew into a gigantic snake reaching 50 meters in length.

Even this is at the level of a baby snake compared to the infinite snake that Corinne saw in the previous episode. But to hope for more, Miriam’s sacrifice is inevitable.

“I’ll ride well!”

Therefore, Corin decided to treat this snake as a vehicle. It is a very large vehicle that can go much faster and farther than humans.

“Come back alive. If you die… I will resurrect your corpse and eat you forever.”

“······Why can’t the women around me come up with such extreme ideas?”

Anyway, as Corin climbed on the snake’s head, the infinite snake under Miriam’s orders began to break through the center.

The super-large snake, reaching 50 meters in diameter, is itself a murderous mass weapon. Moreover, what blocks the snake’s path are ghosts that do not even have mass.

█▀▀▀▀███▄▄▄▄!!!

The dragon’s roar is directed at Korin, who dares to attack me.

＜Realization of the sun＞

* * * *

After conquering Sam, the expeditionary force is to gather in one place.

Go back to the roots and attack the world tree. To be precise, it is a strategy to attack the World Tree using manpower, which involves cutting down the World Tree itself.

“Chairman!”

The place we arrived at after passing the spring. Arisha ran toward Erin, who was approaching from beyond holding a torch.

“It’s Arisha. Has that been resolved well?”

“Yes! I drank all the water from the spring and it was depleted.”

“Oh my… that’s true…”

It’s weird, but it’s a good method. The spring, which holds the mysteries of the mythical era, was also an excellent elixir in itself.

“What about Corrin?”

“If you are Corin, you said you support Hvergelmir.”

“okay······.”

I must have gone alone. He is bound by the precept of not recognizing spirits. Since it is the land of the dead, it is no different from an empty plain to Corin.

“Chairman~”

At that time, a pink-haired saint approached. She checked on Erin and looked around at the army beyond.

“Do we have any younger siblings?”

“If it’s Miram, it looks like it’s on Hvergelmir’s side. Who’s on Estelle’s side?”

“It’s Professor Josephine, Hwaran, and Alicia.”

Besides that, Yuel and Cranel. Academy graduates such as Doron, Jaeger, and Lark were on this side.

“Then, about Miriam….”

It’s definitely a power shortage. Moreover, the spring of Hvergelmir is the land of the dead. It is said that all enemies are demons.

It will be difficult for an army without specialized equipment to fight against it.

“But Corin’s brother is gone. Things will work out somehow.”

“The sun is poison to the dead, but… there is a dragon there.”

Nidhogg, the evil dragon of hatred.

Even in the North, the Elder Dragon, which has not died for a long time and has not even been able to drive out the gods, is not a type that an individual can deal with.

It is a huge mass weapon in itself. How long can an individual endure in the face of that?

‘If Corin realized the logic…’

It might even be possible to confront the dragon. Even Erin isn’t sure if it’s possible with just one individual.

It is difficult to say that Corin Locke is an individual.

“Not all springs have been captured, but destroying two springs has definitely stopped the growth of the World Tree.”

Estelle split the roots of the tree in front of her with Dagda’s magic club.

The roots, which had grown rapidly, are now trembling and their regenerative capacity has noticeably decreased.

“In other words, it’s okay to start a ‘logging operation.’”

The number of soldiers who arrived here was around 20,000 at best. They carry a logging ax as a necessity.

“Let’s cut it down. This hideously huge tree.”

A cosmic tree of destruction that will eat planets and spread its branches throughout the world. Without this, Tates Balthazar’s plan will be thwarted.

If about 20,000 people gathered together, the World Tree or anything else wouldn’t have the talent to withstand it.

“Isn’t it a waste? It’s the last remnant of myth left in this era.”

A third person’s voice speaks boldly.

The crowd turns around at almost the same time.

Beyond the World Tree. At an altitude where you would need at least some climbing gear to climb up.

“Ohad Breath…”

The man in golden armor was looking down at them, defying gravity.

“It looks like Corin Locke is fighting a dragon… and he’s a deterrent to the supporting actors.”

A light and refreshing voice. The golden dragon’s eye illuminated in the darkness is mesmerizing.

But everyone who looks at him has their hands full of sweat.

Such a cold and chilly gaze… It’s as if I’m staring at a harmful bird rather than a human being.

“Hmm… That guy is Ardri. He is the king of the gods, right?”

Even amidst the cold and stinging contempt, Estelle looked at him calmly.

Definitely deserves to be called ‘God’. I knew this from Erin, but I can’t believe she had such clear divine powers in her womb.

I covet it. I want to be like that too. No, it will happen.

“Hello, very distant ancestor.”

“Hmm~ Are you a mixed race descended from Balor and Dagda? Indeed, you are a being close to a mutant.”

“Call it atavism?”

An expeditionary force ready for battle. It’s not just Estelle and Erin.

The names of the ＜Legend of the Arhan Heroes＞, including Arisha, Hwaran, Marie, Josephine, Doron, Yuel, Cranel, Brünnhild, the Valkyries, and the great warriors of the North, are all gathered together.

Power is sufficient. No, rather, it is excessively bloated.

“Don’t put too much pressure on your shoulders. I feel jealous that I am a supporting role rather than a leading role, but there is another leading role in this era.”

“It doesn’t matter. Just destroy them all and that’s it.”

Even if you don’t borrow Corin’s power, it is possible with an army of this size. Originally, there was no business in Daguri.

Estelle decided that she had a good chance of winning. But──

＜Access to World Tree. Create Wicker Man Tomb＞

The roots and bark of the World Tree twist and take shape in bizarre ways. A small-sized Yggdrasil Wicker Man appeared in an instant. That’s not all.

＜Summon the Spirit King. Summon multiple top-level spirits.＞

Countless lights popping out from the roots and bark. They, who were spirits, responded to the Great Sage’s call and appeared willing to punish the living.

And at the center of them all is the old Druid.

“I admit it. I was more obsessed than I thought. Corin Locke may indeed be Lord Balthazar’s opponent.”

Lawgiver Doomnorix.

In the mystery of nature, the world tree, he is no different from God.

At the same time, demonic beasts appear. Demonic beasts that had not even been raised yet surrounded the expeditionary force and approached from all directions.

-Gugugugugugugugugung…!

And then the shaking of the earth begins, the shaking of the sky begins.

“W-what is it?”

“Uh, huh? Over there! The World Tree is growing!”

The direction Alisha pointed with her finger. Pure white tree branches are spreading out from there.

Even in this dark world, the tree branches are as vivid as a spreading spider web.

It’s more than just mysterious, it’s scary.

What on earth does that tree that covers the sky of the world, so noticeable on this earth, eat and grow?

“The land’s intelligence… all the nutrients of the continent?”

“You got it right, youngest.”

Ohad confirms Erin’s guess. He talks about plans and destruction as if confidentiality is a good thing.

“That tree is clearly going crazy. At this rate, it will eat up all the nutrients of the continent and the world. If a world that has lost even light loses the grace of the earth, humans and others will become extinct at any time.”

“This is a terrible thing. This is not ‘justice.’”

“Then try to stop us. Stop us. Pierce my heart with that spear. But it’s all meaningless.”

“I’ll do whatever you want.”

Erin grabbed the spear and quickly climbed the tree.

From Noble mtl dot com

It’s faster than high speed. Her speed as she runs against gravity does not decrease at all.

She is a spear master.

He is the teacher of two disciples who are the greatest spearmen of this era.

In other words, until their appearance, they had maintained their position as the strongest for thousands of years.

‘Even if I am the God King, I will win in close combat.’

Ohad Breath. If only the author is defeated, this situation can somehow be overcome. Erin precisely aimed for this painful moment when the enemy’s power was not deployed.

“Wow, the youngest must be very angry.”

Even while watching this, Ohad grins. There isn’t even any sign of defense. What on earth do you believe?

“However, if I were the only one who cared, I would be caught by the dead who crawled up from hell.”

“what···?”

It was at that moment that her spear was about to reach Ohad.

『 ᚱ 』 ── Raido

An eerie chill. A cold steel fist rushed towards her temple.

“Huh…?!”

The third part of the sixth chorus, Hoecheon, changes the direction of the spear being thrown out.

The amazing technique of the spear deflects attacks in the reverse direction. Erin, who was about to respond to the attacker, saw his face and her pupils dilated.

“It’s been a while, Chairman Eriu.”

Gauntlets of steel. Afro hair.

“Permac…Professor Daman?”

He must have been killed by Corrin?

Erin, surprised, was late in responding. Permak’s fist hit Erin.

“Tsk…!”

Erin bounces away. Even when she barely managed to stand on her feet, the enemy’s attack did not end.

-Kaaagh!

Hundreds of snakes jumping out from between the bark of the World Tree. They attacked Erin and she was forced to fall, relying entirely on gravity.

“Chairman!”

The person who accepted her was a pink-haired saint. However, she soon becomes accustomed to the reality unfolding before her eyes.

“······Dun Skies?”

King of beasts. Doon Skies. What was supposed to have been destroyed by Corin reappeared by clumping snakes and toads together like clay.

“How? Mr. Korin must have taken them all down?!”

The enemy executives that Corin had defeated so far. Permak Daman and Dun Skies. Erin was the only one who realized the strange truth of the dead coming back to life.

“······I see. Valhalla.”

A paradise for dead warriors. ‘God’s Warrior Einherjar’ saved by Valkyrie’s soul harvesting.

“I guess this is the reason why Tates recruited the Valkyries.”

“You guessed it right. Well, it’s like a moment of magic. Unless the myth is regenerated, it’s just a corpse that will soon rot and rot.”

“You’re going too far, Breath.”

“Heehee… I’m fine~ Heeheehee!”

Looking closely, I found that the condition of Dun Skyes and Permak Daman was not normal.

Their bodies were rotting and their eyes had lost their former gunshot qualities. As time goes by, one day, he will become a skeleton like the other warriors of Einherjar.

But even that is a meaningless limit only at this moment.

“I think we have a sufficient number of supporting actors.”

A hammer imbued with a thrilling brain energy and a brilliantly shining sword of victory are held in both hands of Ohad.

His appearance is truly that of a great god or great hero in mythology. However, Ohad even disparaged himself.

“Even our fight is just a side note compared to the main characters. This is a fight like that from the beginning. There is no point in fighting and killing many times. This is a fight like that.”

The final fight was beginning.
