Chapter 839 – Mythology Academy
Nevertheless, fortunately or unfortunately, some descendants managed to survive the pursuit of their former vassals. Some of the surviving descendants use the surname ‘Ludian’ and secretly maintain their lineage. It was so secretive that even they forgot that they were descendants of the Flame Emperor.
“Because the ‘ritual’ that the family received by sacrificing their souls to Tala was lost, the distant descendants of the Flame Emperor were naturally prevented from becoming Tala’s slaves. But…”
Although they were not blessed to the point of becoming Tala’s slaves, the Ludian family was able to maintain a strong level of supernatural power even without the help of meteorites, thanks to the bloodline blessing given by Tala.
“… That was actually a curse.”
As the awakening of supernatural powers increased thanks to Tala’s blessing, in return, the descendants were often exposed to Tala’s ‘whispers’ as they had outstanding talents.
“… What is a whisper?”
“It’s literally like that. Tala invades the depths of the descendants’ souls and tempts them with ‘whispers’.”
Thanks to the bloodline oath and blessing, Tala was able to steal the memories of the Ludian family psychics who had powerful supernatural powers, or appear in their dreams and stimulate their desires.
“You mean everyone…?”
“Not everyone. It was a curse that only applied to descendants who had strong manifestations of Tala’s blessing.”
After saying that, Walter raises his hand with a tired expression and points to his silver-white hair.
“This silver hair is a sign that you have been blessed by Tala. The closer the hair color is to silver, the more deeply you have received Tala’s blessing. The more susceptible you are to ‘whispers’.”
‘… Is there something strange about this too?’
Seong-il naturally thinks of Walter Rudian’s son, Lanz Rudian, the main character of this game, and his actions, and identifies the blind spot in his words.
“It’s strange…? It’s a little different from what I know.”
“… You know?”
Shockingly, the demi-god in front of me is a secret that his family secretly holds. When he says that he knows a family secret that only a few people know, a look of astonishment passes through Walter’s tired eyes. Seong-il, reading those eyes, decides to end his doubts by calmly explaining his experience before he opens his mouth to clear up any misunderstandings.
“Well… To be precise, I had the opportunity to watch a ‘boy’ from the Ludian family and the countless bonds of cause and effect he would spread.”
Just in case, Seong-il calmly explains to Walter Ludian his experience playing the game, leaving out Lanz’s name.
Seong-il explains Lantz’s life in the multiverse, which is repeated countless times, and the fruits of his life in the big and small games he has achieved, and refute Walter’s logic by saying that there is no such thing as ‘Tala’s whisper’ anywhere.
“I see…”
Walter’s eyes light up for a moment as he answers briefly. It was only for a moment, but Seong-il did not miss the ominous look in his eyes and watched him with a sharp expression.
“Listening to Seongil’s explanation… I guess I can’t say anything… Something is starting to come into my head little by little.”
‘Look at this guy…?’
Seong-il instinctively feels that Walter somehow tried to hide the fact as much as possible a little while ago. Despite seeing Seong-il’s expression, Walter calmly continues his explanation.
“I don’t know who the ‘boy’ that Seongil was looking at was, but… Perhaps the reason the child was able to escape Tala’s whispers was because two conditions were not met.”
“… What are those conditions?”
For some reason, Seong-il instinctively feels that the climax of this play is slowly approaching, so he carefully gathers his strength and takes a fighting stance.
And the hundred or so clones who read the master’s intentions through their connected souls also keep their eyes on Walter and prepare to charge at him if the situation arises.
“The first condition… Is ‘causality.'”
“… Causality?”
“Yes. A cause and effect related to Tala. So, if the weight of the karma he will carry or unfavorable information spreads around the world, paradoxically, there will be an effect of broadening the scope of movement a little.”
‘… No way?!’
Seongil, as well as the other two deans, look surprised as if something came to mind after hearing Walter’s words.
“Ah, I guess you felt something? You truly are a great demigod. That’s right. You are people who have a great influence on our world. Revealing Tala’s secret to these three people can’t be compared to revealing Tala’s secret to trivial humans. It has an effect that has a strong influence on the causality rate.”
Seong-il listens to Walter’s explanation and realizes that his ominous feelings are correct. In addition, with a sense of urgency, he quickly turns on augmented reality and opens the hidden mission that the game master gave him a moment ago.
『Hidden & Emergency Mission: True Salvation』
* Drive out the three foreign media from the world of Mythology Academy (2/3)
‘What the fuck…’
Seong-il realizes that unlike the other two foreigners who were horribly expelled from this place, Tala is still here and holding on.
“Kuh… Kkk…!! I guess you’ve realized it now…?”
Walter, seeing Seong-il’s stiff expression, shows his true colors and chuckles as if he is amused. Then he looks at Seong-il with blood-red eyes and says, as if asking when he had a hard time.
“Ugh…!! The second… Second activation condition is… There can be only one apostle!”
Sticky blood begins to flow out of the crazy Walter’s mouth along with the dialogue. Even blood was flowing out indiscriminately from his eyes, nose, and ears.
“Walter…!! Seongil saved you from Tala’s clutches to save you!! And yet you are trying to betray his grace and betray him!!”
As it seems that his disciple cannot let go of his corruption until the end, Gerhardt seems to be shaken by the sight of Walter Ludian betraying his last trust. I reprimand him in a bitter tone.
“I… Ugh!! Saved…?”
Walter ridicules Dean Gerhard with the bizarre appearance of blood pouring from every hole in his body.
“Tala…’ S… Essence… Kehek!! Here… Is still… Alive and well?”
“Meteorite…!!”
“Kkkk…!!”
Seongil wonders why Walter still faithfully acts as Tala’s slave. He also realizes that he is being laughed at when he hears the expression that he saved himself.
‘Fuck… Tala’s essence was two in the first place. One in the dimension. And…’
“I’ve earned enough time… Take care… You bastards… Kehehe…!!”
Walter, who was bleeding unbelievably from his entire body, smiled maniacally. Then his body begins to inflate like a balloon.
“No way…!?”
Seong-il feels threatened by Walter’s creepy appearance and quickly strongly reduces Arunlabe’s force field. According to the owner’s will, Arunlabe’s power rushes towards Walter very quickly and powerfully.
Ugh…!!
The sound of a huge rubber balloon popping fills the island. And the blood spreading disgustingly.
The good news is that Arunlabe’s force field erected a powerful sphere of restraint in a 1 m radius around Valter, preventing the terrible tragedy of shock and blood spreading to the group.
‘… So the 『Ludian Family Ancestor’s Diary』 Was hidden within the academy?!’
Through today’s conversation with Walter Ludian, Seongil naturally remembers some strange, incomprehensible events he had seen in the game. At the same time she realizes why such an event is arranged in the game, and she feels goosebumps.
‘The reason why there was a document in the academy that recorded the history, secret rituals, and stories about an unknown ancestor… Was to pass on Tala’s causality to the descendants of the Ludian family and make him a candidate for an apostle. .’
In addition, Seong-il realizes why Lantz was not harassed by Tala’s whispers in the existing game, even though he is a distant descendant of the Flame Emperor family.
‘… Walter Ludian, who had a talent even stronger than Lanz Ludian, was alive and well as an apostle, so there was no need for Tala to abandon him and make Lanz an apostle. So the main character was lucky enough to survive until the end of the game without any problems.’
Meanwhile, a beautiful, strong and talented heroine who takes care of her, and an excellent teacher. In addition, Seong-il realizes that Lanz’s talent, which is powerful enough to achieve transcendent death, was what protected the protagonist by sneaking in when Tala was off guard.
“Dean!! We must return to Mythology Academy immediately!! The next ‘Apostle Candidate’ is there!!”
Seong-il grits his teeth and complains to the two deans that they must return quickly. As smart people, they immediately realized the intention of Seong-il’s words, and the group urgently used Pineapple House to return to Mythology Academy at breakneck speed.
“At least it’ll be a while!! If we find Lanz Ludian, we’ll be able to sort out the problem!!”
Dean Gerhard reassures Seong-il, who is worried, by telling him that there will be no problem. However, despite the dean’s words, Seong-il just runs out of the Pineapple House with a stern expression.
“This is crazy…!!”
That was when Seong-il opened the dimensional Pineapple House and entered the Academy’s artifact storage. Before his eyes, the ruined Mythology Academy archives appear.
