I Killed the Academy Player

Tates Balthazar (2)

【Rain God’s Hammer Mjolnir】

The hammer of the thunder god striking down.

It is the greatest weapon in mythology. The legendary Shinjo Sergeant.

“Marie…!”

＜Alchemy Magic – Multi-Shield Blood and Snow Shield＞

At Erin’s instructions, a surging ice barrier blocks the lightning strike from the front.

-Pakakak!

However, the hardest ice is helplessly collapsing. When the defenses are broken, the giant Wicker Man burns the sacrifice.

Flames pouring out from the Spirit King of Fire. Hwaran steps forward against the compressed firepower.

-Quaaa!

An overwhelming flame challenging that absolute defense. Even Hwaran is pushed back by the flames pouring out from the Phantom Beast, known as the king of spirits.

“Tsk…!”

It’s simple, but it has the firepower to push back even the Dutch. This causes the walls to collapse and the city to burn.

The overwhelming firepower that a single human cannot withstand is withstood by the world’s strongest Auror who has reached a special level.

“Good job!”

While firepower is concentrated, Arisha Aden jumps through the black space.

She is a sword demon. The limitations of space are meaningless from her perspective.

Boundary eye. Eyes that see through dimensional gaps. In her eyes, she sees the main body of the Spirit King curled up in the Wicker Man’s flames.

＜Aden-style one-sword area cutting＞

The Wicker Man’s World Tree shell has no meaning to her sword, which penetrates any defense. Yes, if it was just the shell.

『 ᚱ 』 ── Raido

“Runes on the shell?”

A trap in preparation for Arisha’s area breakthrough, which is close to dimensional leap. The rune that was revealed the moment she cut into the Wicker Man’s shell repelled her.

“aaak…!”

Arisha rolling on the ground, more precisely, on the surface of the World Tree. In the space where she was thrown out, a huge snake sticks out its tongue.

-Hee hee! Has the prey rolled in?

Doon Skies. A collection of tens of thousands of snakes, toads, magic cows, and dragons. The King of Beasts bared his fangs at Arisha.

A huge icicle flying towards her. It pierced the mouth of Skys where it was placed and caused bleeding.

-Kihihihi…! Wizard!

“This is not the end.”

Marie Dunareff. An archmage who has received the blessing of mana gathers tremendous magical power and completes a magic spell.

＜Great Blood Technique – Crimson Spear＞

Its size cannot even be compared to a large ice icicle. No matter how skilled Skys are, it would be dangerous to be hit by magic on this scale.

“That doesn’t work.”

A boxer with an afro. The warrior who crawls up from the dead throws a high-speed punch towards Marie.

“Kyaoooooo…!”

“hmm···!”

However, a red tow blocks their path. Deokgu appeared from the shadows to protect his mother and blocked Permak’s fist.

“······I saw him once before he died, but he is quite strong.”

“Krrr······.”

But the technology is still clumsy. Maybe it’s because I’m young. It was the moment when Permac knocked Deokgu down with a boxing technique that Deokgu could not respond to and was about to attack Marie in an instant.

-Quarring…!

A large amount of magical power blooms from Deokgu’s body. The magical power accumulated by absorbing the blood of Marie and Corin is expressed as magic.

“They even use magic…!”

Permak temporarily retreats due to the pouring firepower. Erin’s spear aimed at his back.

＜The story of five evils with great righteousness＞

A surprise attack that takes advantage of the student’s unique opportunity. It is something I learned from my teacher.

“Oh my… you’re still fighting a bit, youngest one.”

It was a surprise attack so perfect that Permac could not react, but it was Ohad’s magic sword of victory, Fragarach, that stopped it.

“Swing it around.”

Energy like a storm erupting from the magic sword attacks Erin. Even as she retreated, she did not stop giving instructions.

“Estelle.”

“In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit…!”

＜HOLY BURSTER

FULL OPEN IMPACT──!!＞

The club wielded by the pink-haired saint set off a wave that took away the sound of the world.

‘Go, it’s strong…’

Those who watched it were astonished.

It’s worth it.

It is no exaggeration to say that each and every one of them is a top-tier, strongest class.

More than ten people are involved in such things.

This battlefield is the battleground of the world’s greatest and strongest fighting creatures.

A mythic war where the strongest forces are intertwined.

It’s not a human fight.

This… this was not a human fight at all.

“But why…”

look at the sky

The soldiers and the world’s inhabitants trembled in fear and gazed from the ground into the distant universe.

In that distant universe, a huge fight was beginning that would make even this fight seem ridiculous.

light and sun.

The great forces were now colliding.

“Corin…”

In that light, the magic sword is swung towards Erin, who inadvertently turns her gaze to the heat.

“Does it bother you, youngest child?”

“Ohad…!”

Two people competing with each other while blocking with silver spears. Meanwhile, Ohad smiled humorlessly.

“I told you, even this fight between us is ultimately a fight between the supporting actors. As for the real protagonists, the revival of Shinhwa begins there and will end with those two.”

“······.”

Erin couldn’t deny it.

The main players of this era are not them, but those two.

Tates Balthazar and Corin Locke.

The strangely intertwined fates are not just fate, but even the karma of the world can be felt.

“I will win. My student.”

“hehehehe, well, the man discussing the creation of the world right now is stronger than you can imagine.”

The two are confident.

His future generations, his students… will lead to victory in this mythical war.

* * * *

“player?”

Corin stiffens at the words that came out of the guy’s mouth. It’s worth it.

player.

A word that refers to the main character of the game ＜The Legend of Arhan Heroes＞.

There may be fancier expressions, but their proper nouns are not something humans in this world can know.

Well, unless you know that this world is a game.

“No way… you too?”

“That can’t be possible. I’m a pureblood. I’m not an outsider like you.”

Outsider.

It was clear what the expression meant.

He knows that Corin is not a human from this world.

So how? How does this man know of the player’s existence?

“It looks like you got hurt before that, so eat this.”

Swish! and catches an object that draws a parabola in the air. I trembled when I saw it held in my palm.

“······What’s the point?”

“I don’t want to fight with all my might against the injured guy. It will be good for healing wounds. Oh, did you say that in your terminology, it fills up HP to full?”

Corin was astonished when he saw the ‘fruit’ in his hand.

“Fruit of the World Tree”

The issue is not whether HP and MP are fully filled. It was only an additional meaning.

Golden mandragora, Korean ginseng, and the fruit of the world tree.

The ability is an increase in auror level and a significant increase in auror amount and recovery.

“Well, since I’m giving it to you, I guess I’ll eat it well.”

Corin chewed the fruit of the World Tree without hesitation.

[You have consumed the fruit of the World Tree.]

-Auror level increases. Auror level { special }

-The amount of auras increases significantly. { (25,130) }

-Aura recovery amount increases significantly.

-HP is restored to 100%.

-Aura is restored to 100%.

-MP is recovered by 100%.

‘The effect is amazing.’

Indeed, the three great elixirs. Originally, it was an elixir to be obtained during the course of conquering the World Tree, but it was easily ingested due to the kindness of the enemy.

“Do you have any doubts?”

Tates was staring at Corin, who was calmly eating the fruit after holding it in his hand. Corrin shrugged.

“I don’t see him as someone who would do such a shameless thing.”

“Ha! Me too, but you are also crazy.”

“Tell me you’re a romanticist. Instead, tell me a story while you warm up.”

Tates laughed at Corrin’s attitude and looked around. Tens of kilometers above. He looked down at the planet, at the world, from a tree branch that was almost like a huge piece of ground.

“Isn’t it a nice view? It’s a good stage to announce the revival of myth.”

“Stop saying things that only you know.”

“Well, surprisingly, if you think about it, it’s not much of a story. The ＜Legend of Arhan Heroes＞ that you all know was just a filter.”

“······.”

He slowly and coolly revealed the truth about the world.

“The world made a ‘bet’ on me. If you are the one who will destroy the world, you must fight the one who will save the world and win. That was the qualification to become the new god who will rule the world.”

The Legend of Arhan Heroes was a ‘warrior selection system’ created and distributed for him.

The opponent is the one who clears it most efficiently and with the highest score.

“I was forced into a fight worthy of myth rebirth.”

“f*ck… I can’t keep up.”

＜The Legend of Arhan Heroes＞, which I thought was a game, was actually not a game?

Was it a filter to select players?

“Wait, you guys?”

“Yes, more accurately, I should say ‘Park Si-hoo guys’? Of course, the guys who controlled the player’s fate and monopolized all the hidden pieces and talents all had stupid powers, but…”

Tates cannot hide his disappointment as he recalls the past.

“They were all weak. Well, that’s natural. It seems like they were just kids who fell off one day, easily gained superhuman strength, and just followed their fate.”

With a mocking grin, he revealed a shocking truth.

“The guys who gained power easily are decidedly inferior as fighters. The 99th Park Si-hoo was a masterpiece among them, but… well, he was someone worth looking at.”

“no way······.”

“Yes. The first time you possessed me. For me, it was the 99th Park Si-hoo.”

Sihoo… Is Park Sihoo from the previous episode the 99th? That means…

“You… knew the whole future?”

The day Erin Danua was scheduled to be murdered. Tates Balthazar did not move during the Academy collapse incident.

I avoided enough traps and the first part of Balthazar’s strategy, the ‘Precepts Strategy’.

What about frost giants? He, who would not have come forward originally, showed up ahead of time.

Besides that, there were many questions about his actions. He did not even punish the traitor Miriam.

The person who wanted to destroy this world, the person who had to consider the most efficient and thorough… always did not consider rationality.

“The reason you didn’t participate in the academy collapse incident…”

“Until now, I’ve set you up for a trap, but Corin Locke, I wanted to fight with all my might.”

Even being attacked by the precepts was just a formality, he said calmly.

Corin felt a great feat and intimidation from the meaning of those words.

Player number 99. 99 destruction of the world.

Repeating the fate of number 99, clearly observing the plans and preparations of the player who knows the future, and even being attacked by the precepts that undermine my strength…

This man, this man… is here after 99 victories.

The hundredth player was in front of him.

“But today is the last day. Lia Pal, who reads the world’s fortunes, has recognized you and your supporting role as my opponent. This means that if I defeat you, this long fight will end.”

“······That’s an overestimation. Park Si-hoo in the previous episode was definitely much stronger than me.”

“You probably don’t know how empty that ‘strength’ is, right? Among the people you’ve fought so far, were there any weaker than you?”

Marie Dunareff.

Hwaran.

Permak Daman.

Doon Skies.

·········

·········

·········

Yes, there were a lot of guys stronger than me, but none of them could beat me.

Being strong and winning are two different things.

“But even if I lose… you will fail. There is no way you can defeat those I brought you alone──”

“You seem to be mistaken, but I am at a level where I can somehow destroy this world all by myself.”

“······.”

“Why do you think this world decided to bet on me? Why did they try to bring in a ‘warrior’ from outside to fight against me? That’s because this world alone will never be able to defeat the ‘demon king’ that I am.”

“f*ck, yeah, you’re great.”

Corrin admitted honestly.

Regardless of numbers, size, or strength, this man is ‘different’.

Just the fact that it made the light disappear from the entire world in the first place was enough to be outside the standard.

Without light, plants don’t grow. If plants don’t grow, it will cause world hunger.

If this man had his way, starving the world to death would be easy.

“There are many ways to destroy the world. But simply destroying it will not regenerate the myth.”

“You are saying that you must receive world recognition after a fight worthy of it.”

“That’s it, my nemesis.”

“ha······.”

In the end, the truth was more crappy than I could have imagined.

‘These bastards are the ones who live and die in Gao.’

I feel dejected as I get involved with people like this, wondering if I am a similar person.

“Hey… then if you win this time, will the world be ruined?”

“Well, from your point of view, yes.”

“······It’s heavy.”

The fate of the world truly rests on your shoulders.

Unlike the 99 other Park Si-hoos, failure is not acceptable to him.

At best, a very heavy burden was placed on a supporting character named Corin Locke, a sub-player who was not even a player.

“In the end, nothing will change. If I hit you here, everything will be fine.”

“Yes, no matter what, the conclusion is simple. You just have to win.”

There is no hatred or anger in his gaze. Fear did not exist, as if it were natural.

Rather, there was a feeling of welcome and refreshing friendliness.

But Corinne knows. Contrary to that gaze, the ferocity of a wild beast held in the heart of a man named Tates Balthazar.

Surprisingly, the same goes for Corin Locke. The two have such strange tempers that they could kill each other while laughing.

Because these two people are more similar than you think.

“Then let’s get started quickly.”

[World backup begins. Review of precepts.]

Demon King Tates Balthazar: Relevance EX

[World backup begins. Review of precepts.]

Hero Corin Locke: Relevance EX

Pick up the spear.

Now, it doesn’t matter what the precepts are.

Even magic and hidden pieces are all just ingredients for fighting.

With the fate of the world at stake,

Advance towards your archenemy.

“”let’s fight.””
