I Killed the Academy Player

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Nazrea, City of the Dead (4)

On the second day, the three defeated the Abyss Shrieker and the Wight King.

Corinne and Arisha are not at the student level, but each one is a level 1 undead boss.

It was entirely thanks to Erin Danua that she was able to easily hunt in a city teeming with countless undead.

As if she had hunted hundreds or thousands of times, her guidance was skillful and her strategy perfect.

Rather, they even conceded the ending as if to fill in the experiences of the two.

“Now only the Immortal King remains.”

Third day, evening. The three of them were able to stand before the immortal king Gerolg.

“Finally, we’ve come to Gerolg. We must stop the author from awakening as the Immortal King.”

“Uh… Gosh, you look very formidable?”

Immortal King Gerolg.

He is a black magician who caused the Nazrea Undead Corps incident 300 years ago, and a monster who wanted to become the king of the undead himself.

However, unlike its grandiose purpose and name, this undead did not feel any dignity or coercion.

What you see is just a shabby inflated drowned body.

Here and there, the flesh swelled like a malignant tumor, and in places where it was empty, bones were exposed.

Bulky but skinny It was an incomplete existence to the extent that this contradictory evaluation was just right.

“Are you less rich?”

“It may be so. The lich’s unique soul extraction is not done, and the wizard’s unique wisdom is not.”

“It’s half a penny, not even rich.”

Corrine steps forward. Erin and Arisha were taken aback by his sudden action.

“What are you thinking?”

“Stay away. I’ll take care of it myself.”

“Mr. Corinne! The appearance is the least express!”

As Arisha said. However, even a lich is an undead king born through a great ceremony.

In terms of strength, she is already more than Marie Dunareff. It’s okay to call it a limited express.

“Well, well, let’s take a look.”

in the heart of downtown. I head for Gerolg, the immortal king who procrastinates alone.

complex city. The Immortal King was staring at an unknown place outside his workshop.

“Hello, Gerolg.”

– Whiik!

From noble mtl dot com

The boy’s head jerked at the sound of Corinne’s voice! flipped over The next moment…

Magic with maximum firepower automatically and reflexively poured out.

– Kwak!

Would it be like this if the harpoon for whale hunting was enlarged 20 times? A doom bolt that cuts the city in half by penetrating the place Corinne was.

“Hwiyu~”

The scene of the overwhelming destruction. Corinne calmly whistles in admiration.

“Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu00uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Upon confirming that the enemy was alive, the immortal king concentrated a vast amount of mana that made him dizzy just by looking at it.

, , .

The ensuing spells of maximum power. Each one is a top-notch magic. How powerful is the Immortal King, who can cast such magic with no delay.

– Quaang!

-Kwaguawang!

An overwhelming performance that even the terrain changes. A series of magic bombardments annihilated Corinne just by brushing against them.

“???”

However, it was the Immortal King who was distorted by doubt. It was because the search magic he was always using was still informing of the enemy’s health.

“The firepower is great, though.”

And at some point, the spearmen came right in front of the Immortal King.

“If you overuse a big skill, your vision will be blocked.”

Leopard running on the ground. The Doom Bolt of the Immortal King noticed it and fired it. A magic arrow with overwhelming penetrating power that split the city in half.

A silver spear lightly struck the side of the doom bolt. The trajectory that changes by just that much is 1 cm. However, with this alone, Doombolt’s line of sight is directed toward the sky, not the city.

“This kind of conversational power is convenient against the army or a group of monsters, but it’s just unnecessarily cumbersome against individual opponents. It’s better to use dozens of intermediate magics.”

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

A swollen fat finger pointed at the spearman. A doom bolt that is triggered by pointing your finger at it. But what if that finger were cut off by a spinning spear blade?

“An archmage without an escort or intelligence.”

the window rotates

dozens of times in 3 seconds. A wizard, not even a knight. That’s also lost in reason, but Richie can read the change in a flashy way.

The ensuing return of infinity. The Immortal King’s flesh fragments every time it spins.

“Guu——?!”

The Immortal King’s doubts did not even come out of the vocal cords. This is because the accelerated spear severed only the vocal cords and muzzle 10 times in 0.5 seconds.

──! ──! ──! ─────!!!!

Spear attack without rest. Truly reckless. Truly Nanchang. The body being sliced in real time couldn’t even gesture to fire magic.

– Cheeky puduk!

The body of the Immortal King slipping and falling. Among the bodies that were cut into hundreds of pieces, the ‘soul heart’ that had not yet been separated was dangling.

soul heart.

Lich’s core, greatest weakness. Originally, this soul heart should have been extracted and hidden, but the fact that even that was not done proved how much this Immortal King was like a half-penny.

– Kwajik!

As the silver spear struck and shattered the soul’s heart, a grotesque scream resounded in all directions.

Overwhelmed.

The Immortal King, Gerolg, perished without even being able to resist.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Nazrea Attack Quest

In this infinite field called Undead City, this quest is essentially a ‘repeat’ quest.

Three great bosses of Nazrea.

Hunt first-class bosses such as Wight King, Abyss Shrieker, and Revenant Titan to weaken the Immortal King’s power, and defeat the special undead Immortal King Gerolg.

Although grandiose, as a repetitive quest, the difficulty level is intermediate to high, and you must clear it several times to accumulate ‘favor of the four gods’ and acquire ‘treasures of the underworld’.

In other words, as a player with a high reputation, I caught Gerolg hundreds or thousands of times. You can see what kind of magic will come even with your eyes closed.

“·······.”

“what’s the matter?”

Arisha stares at me with strange eyes.

“I think Corinne is getting more and more distant.”

“Well, I guarantee you, you wouldn’t have changed that much either.”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

You don’t even have to knock in a row like me. If it were Arisha…the moment she approached, she would have split the Immortal King with a single blow.

“That baby, it’s a rice. I’d rather be more annoying.”

“is that so?”

Like the Immortal King, Nana and Arisha are the best when it comes to cases that focus exclusively on power.

Rather, it would be difficult to deal with someone with the same power type as Marie. Thanks to Deokgu’s existence, Marie will somehow win.

However, if you can overwhelm him with skill, the Immortal King becomes a poor boss that can be played unilaterally.

A poor lich who can’t even activate the skillful magic unique to the archmage. The magic used is the highest level of destructive magic and great magic.

Rather, that’s why he can’t beat me or Arisha.

‘And the same goes for Erin Danua.’

“I’m going to Erin. If there’s an undead approaching, stop it.”

“Ah, yes! Um… Erin?”

Arisha tilted her head at my title, but soon set out to look out for her surroundings.

·········

······

…

Even after defeating the Immortal King, the culprit behind the Nazrea crisis 300 years ago, the city’s view does not change.

This is because the Immortal King has the power to lead the undead, and defeating the Immortal King is not an expediency in which all the undead will disappear on their own.

The city still overflows with the dead and curses the living.

If so, a question arises here.

Why couldn’t the undead of Nazrea go out of the city 300 years ago?

“I don’t think it’s a nice view to see.”

The roof of a building overlooking a collapsed city. Erin was staring blankly at the horizon.

“There’s not much to see.”

sit next to her As I stand side by side with her, naturally, ‘Erin Danua’ speaks to me.

“It’s a great achievement beyond what I thought. I met my students well.”

“I’m a guy.”

“Whoop whoop.”

Chin raised triumphantly. I am inside the twinkling eyes.

“This isn’t the first time the Immortal King Gerolg has been born, right?”

“Did you notice?”

Indeed, how many times? There is no need to anticipate. You just have to calculate it.

“300 years, 3 months and 27 days. 109,617 days. Repeat three days 36,539 times.”

“·······.”

To my count, she said nothing. just listen Because nothing changes

“300 years, 3 months and 27 days ago. Warlock Gerol used a lunar eclipse to turn the entire city into undead.”

At the time, the number of undead triggered at once, including the city population and cemeteries, was estimated to be 1.2 million.

1.2 million. 1.2 million undead suddenly appeared.

Bondi undead are unholy beings that create powerful higher rank undead the more they gather.

Proof of this is that from the first day of the repeated three days, Wight King, Abyss Shrieker, and Revenant Titan appeared in rapid succession.

“Three recurring days is how long it took you to defeat Gerolg, right?”

“Yeah. You know, but Gerolg’s lichification isn’t perfect yet. Was it easier than the others?”

“Of course. But even after defeating the Immortal King, the undead in the city remained.”

“You know well.”

“Then who made these three repeating days? Shall I say more?”

“······no.”

Erin let out a heavy sigh with a forlorn expression on her face. Sending a look of criticism asking if I had to say it.

“I made it that way.”

-I stuffed this city.

Erin surrendered her sins, no, sacrificed herself to save the world.

“It was only a matter of time before the continent and the world would collapse if 1.2 million undead left the city. So I used ‘primitive’ to intervene in Gerolg’s magic circle.”

Original “n”.

Paradise continues.

Eight letter components that promise the permanence of paradise. Using it, he gave the entire city a new sense of greatness.

The first night the ceremony began. And until the third night of defeating Gerolg, the Immortal King.

It made a city of the dead that repeats itself for three days forever.

“But there is a ‘present me’ out there, don’t worry. ‘She’ and ‘I’ are different beings separated by quarters 300 years ago. Knowing that, you didn’t call me ‘teacher’ until the end, did you? “

yeah i knew That the current woman is a little different from the teacher who taught me.

“How long are you going to hide it?”

“······What does that sound like?”

He responded calmly, but his eyes widened in an instant, and he wrapped his arms around his body. Erin’s… It was one of Master’s habits.

When you find out something you don’t want to know.

“You wouldn’t have lied. But you didn’t tell me everything.”

“What… do you want to say?”

“Master doesn’t even know you exist. Since the incident 300 years ago, the only knowledge is that this city is repeating itself.”

It is said that 300 years were divided into quarters, but how is it that she, who created three repeating days, does not know this obvious thing?

Why did Erinn of this city repeatedly defeat the Immortal King over and over again for 300 years?

How was such opportunistic self-sacrifice possible?

────

It was at this moment that I had such a question. I lingered in the dark and something appeared.

《You have a good eye.》

Rather than a voice heard from the vocal organ, it was a voice that seemed to be forcibly injected into the space itself.

“·······.”

It was a skeleton wearing a dark blue robe in the shape of a typical Western envoy.

A unique huge scythe and invisible to my eyes, but the ‘existence of harvesting souls’ that wrapped around the harvested souls in the game and in the previous rounds.

Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.

Grim Reaper. He is a literal death god.

“I wonder if he was also a death god.”

In the game, they only appear as NPCs who give quests. This role has not changed in previous episodes.

“You are bold, deceiver. What lies ahead of you is death.”

A god of death who approaches me without any premonition. He is holding a scythe that can cut through my body in one fell swoop.

The moment I ‘harvest’ my soul as a bastard, I will surely die. Shinigami is such a being. It’s not about the presence or absence of strength, it’s because it’s a conceptual death.

But Erin didn’t even try to save me. I just get agitated and drop my gaze.

“Don’t be pretentious. You are the reaper of death, not the sentencer.”

At my words, the Shinigami shook his head and denied it.

“No, no. different from you Corinne Locke. The one who deceives death.”

······Do you know? That I’m a regressor?

He said that the incident on the first day was because the god of death was interested in me. That’s why the undead bosses were chasing me.

In other words, this city, this city of death is governed by the god of death.

“Why not harvest my soul?”

“Because it is ambiguous. The death you deceived is in the future. It is not the present.”

“Okay, then you’re thinking about it. You’ll have a second thought.”

《Hoo.》

The god of death who nodded his chin as if he was interested. The blue eyes of the boy shone in a magical way.

“Erin. Did you make a ‘contract with the Shinigami’?”

“·······.”

“Repeat three days in the city. It’s a great feat just to hear it. But at the same time, it’s an act of ‘deceiving’ 1.2 million deaths.”

Why did the god of death come to this land in the first place?

What is the concept of Shinigami supposed to do?

Everything is related to Erin’s ‘Three Days Repeat’.

“······That’s right. I was the one who repeated the three days. That’s why the envoy visited this land.”

Shinigami hates the undead. This is because they are the very existence that deceives death.

The soul to be harvested is not harvested because it is tied to the body of the deceased. This alone is unpleasant, but somehow it is okay.

Even if they were immortal undead, they would one day be punished by someone. whether it be a soldier, a knight, or a wizard.

In any case, the soul circulates. If you wait a hundred or two hundred years, most souls will return.

The problem is the three days Erin repeated.

To prevent the world from being swept away by 1.2 million undead and destroyed, three days were repeated throughout Nazrea.

As a result, even if the undead die, they will resurrect on the third day without incident. The soul is not circulating.

Although he is a god of death who cannot interfere in this world, it is different if he is to keep the law of this cycle. He must have tried to separate the magic circle from the city with his authority.

“You asked the Shinigami for a contract. A contract necessary for these three days to repeat.”

“ha······.”

She let out a pensive sigh and began a lengthy story as if resigned.

“wait. That magic cannot be separated.”

《Erin Danua. Do you know what you did?”

“It was something I did without knowing. If the undead in this city spreads outside, many people will die.”

The necessary material is rationality to convince the god of death. utilitarian point of view.

1.2 million undead. It is a bizarre army that has no idea how to stop it. Undead even turn the lives they kill into undead like themselves.

Zombies, Raise Dead, Skeletons… Because the undead are the dead that the existence itself creates from living things.

What if humanity were defeated by the undead army led by the Immortal King?

The death of all mankind, the worst thing that the soul is not circulated. Erin Danua was trying to convince her of the possibility of the future.

The circulation of 1.2 million is cut off,

Possibility of breaking the cycle of the world.

However, this alone was not enough.

《It’s shallow. You’re talking from a human point of view. It is unlikely that humans will be defeated. Even if it takes tens of millions of deaths, hundreds or thousands of years, somehow it will survive. One day everything will be purified.”

「·············.」

“However, it wouldn’t be bad to watch as you insisted. Sooner or later, this magic will break.”

“What does that mean?”

unexpected ambush. Immortal King Gerolg. It seems that the god of death was thinking of giving that level of consideration to someone who was an ‘old friend’.

“You are not the only subject of this magic. There is also a wizard who created this peculiar city. How long do you think he won’t notice the repeating three days?

“I was worried. I was planning to leave the city where three days were repeated according to the original plan.”

It actually happened. Because my teacher, Erin Danua, the director of Merkava Academy, exists right now.

From noble mtl dot com

“Reaper. Let’s make a contract with me.”

《·······Why do you always try to walk the arduous road. Queen.”

Despite Sashin’s dissuade, she went ahead with the contract.

1. The god of death tolerates the repeated three days.

2. Every time ‘Erin Danua’ defeats ‘Immortal King Gerolg’, Gerolg’s memories are reset to three days ago.

3. Separate ‘Erin Danua’, who will repeat three days, and ‘Erin Danua’, who will leave the city.

The above contract continues until ‘Erin Danua’ fails to kill Gerolg.

The three infinite days repeated like that.

The third night after defeating the Revenant Titan, Abyss Shrieker, and Wight King. kiII the Immortal King Gerolg.

This infinite three-day play has been repeated for over 300 years.

“It was getting more and more out of hand. After 20,000, Gerolg started noticing the repetition of three days.”

“… that’s how it happened.”

I guessed, but was there a behind-the-scenes story like this? Could it be that Gerolg was gradually noticing the repetition of the three days?

“You’ve found out something you don’t need to know.”

She sat down and buried her face in her bent knees. I wish I had passed by without knowing.

Tomorrow, four days later, even a week later, he would think that it would be enough if only he knew about the future of the endless battle where he had to kill the Immortal King.

“How long are you going to do this over and over again? How many more can you do? How long do you think your mind can last and how long do you think you can kill Gerolg?”

The most important condition of this contract is to kill Gerolg to reset the memory to three days ago.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No matter how much Erin has the upper hand, as long as she is human, it is not strange that she makes mistakes at any time. It’s not strange if it fails at any time.

“As long as possible.”

Her eyes were already fixed somewhere beyond me.

The invisible future, the repeated three days. 300 years. It has been repeating for 300 years. It was time to give up.

It is only duty to support her. It was the only material that could be mechanically repeated for three days as if working.

That fucking self-sacrifice.

I know the history of your always sacrificing. I experienced a future where I was willing to risk my life to protect my children.

you are such a person I respect you for that. But I don’t understand.

“Reaper.”

At the words I said, the Shinigami’s eyes turned towards me. This guy is a conceptual being who weighs scales and determines causality. If so, be sure to answer me.

“Hey, wait…!”

Perhaps realizing my intentions, Erin ran and charged at me. But it’s already too late.

“Make a contract with me.”

A contract with the Shinigami.

The only way to save Erin Danua stuffed in this city.

And that’s what I had to do anyway.
