Academy’s Curse Champion 9

Chapter 9 – 9. Rescue

Hilda’s words to run.

Aris ran out to the square without any questions. As she neared the square, she saw a man hanging on a scaffold. Although her face was not visible, she recognized at a glance that it was Arthur.

She still had some distance left, but she could see Arthur’s body going limp due to the rope.

At that moment, Aris’ mind was filled with regret. If only she had used her skills on Arthur then, if she had always been by his side… Several hypotheses ran through her head.

ㅡSuddenly!

At that time, a cutting sound was heard in Aris’ ears.

Looking in front of her, she saw that the rope around Arthur’s neck had been cut.

“Arthur!!!”

If she ran just a little further she would be able to catch Arthur. At that time, four heresy inquisitors stood in front of Aris.

“Child, if you come in front of us, we will have no choice but to draw our swords.”

Heresy inquisitors who speak and place their hands on their swords. But she didn’t go back to Aris.

ㅡPajijijijik!!!

Surrounded by blue electricity, Aris rushed forward and swung her sword at one of the Inquisitors.

ㅡChang!

“Ugh. What kind of guy has this kind of power.!”

The heresy inquisitors were taken aback by Aris’s speed and power, which were much faster than they expected, and a moment of silence appeared.

Aris, who did not miss the opportunity, ignored the heresy inquisitors and ran to Arthur.

However, the heretic inquisitor next to the fallen Arthur said as she took out her sword.

“I’m sorry, but that’s it. No matter what happens, we can’t leave the demon contractor alive.”

The sword heading towards Arthur’s neck along with the horse.

‘Damn, we have to stop it!!’

At that moment, an electric current rose from Aris’ toes. She assumed a thrusting stance, the elbow of her right arm holding her sword pointed back, and her aim was to point the sword at Arthur’s throat.

Thunder Dragon Nine Style – Type 1 Seonjeon

“!!!”

A sudden, unexpected thrust. The Inquisitor moved behind her and narrowly avoided Aris’ sword.

“If I had swung the sword like that, it would have broken before it even reached my neck.”

“He’s a really fun guy. Are you also a contract with the demons?”

“… “

Aris aimed her sword in silence.

“Yeah, I guess if I’m going to kill that guy anyway, I’ll have to kill you first.”

At that moment, an enormous amount of mana burst out of the heretic inquisitor’s body.

‘That’s a lot of mana… I might be similar to my current teacher!’

Even the possibility of the opponent letting down his guard disappeared due to the attack just now. Now there is only one chance left.

‘I have to risk everything on this attack.’

Her blue electric current began to bounce from her sword that Aris was holding. At the same time, her hands started shaking.

As I tightened my hands, the trembling stopped, and at the same time, a sound was heard from the sword.

ㅡDeuddeudeuk

With the sound, the air around the sword began to tremble. Blood continued to flow from Aris’s nose, but the sword she was holding did not shake at all.

At that time, the Heretic Inquisitor came swinging his sword with a bright light shining. It was a perfect vertical cut that looked like it was drawn in a picture.

Aris also immediately moved her sword to counter her attack.

Thunder Dragon Nine Style – 9th Style…

ㅡ Kwahahah!

The moment he was about to swing his sword, the Heretic Inquisitor was attacked by something and flew to the side.

Aris, who was trying to swing her sword, also tried to move her sword, but she did not move. As if it was fixed to something solid.

When Aris looked behind her, a middle-aged woman was standing and holding the blade of her Aris sword.

Aris immediately used her status window.

‘Well, what a monster.!’

At that time, the heretic inquisitor who had flown away woke up from the floor, groaning.

“Ugh… Huh? Pope?”

Looking ahead, the Heresy Inquisitor’s pupils began to shake.

“Why did you attack me?”

“Ichael, collect the mana. “I’ll tell you why.”

At the Pope’s order, the Inquisitors withdrew Mana.

The Pope said while looking at Aris.

“That’s amazing. Breaking through the apprentice Inquisitors and challenging Ichael, the Empire’s greatest Inquisitor. Haha!”

“I’ve never seen a kid your age with that much strength in my life. But if I hadn’t blocked that last technique, your body would have been shattered.”

“I don’t know who you learned it from, but your body is still too weak to use that technique.”

After finishing speaking, the Pope looked at the boy lying at the foot of the scaffold.

“Ichael, release that boy.”

“Yes? But that kid is a contractor for the demons!!”

“I understand why you had that misunderstanding. But this time the case is different. “You know what the principle of a crystal ball is, right?”

“I know. If you make a contract with a demon, a trace of demon energy will remain in that soul. I know that the crystal ball can detect that.”

“Yes, you are right. But what if you were a cursed person?”

“I understand that the curse… Remains in the body. So isn’t it a straightforward argument that it has nothing to do with the soul?”

“Yes, but now I know that’s not true, just by looking at that boy.”

“!!!”

“What is that.?”

“Looking at it, a very powerful curse has been engraved on the boy’s soul. Perhaps the crystal ball detected the demonic energy flowing from the curse. “

The Pope placed his hand on Arthur’s chest, and bright light flowed from his hand and entered Arthur’s body.

“… As expected, it’s a curse that I can’t lift with my own strength. At this level, it’s like…”

At that moment, the face of a warrior I had seen before came to mind. He had black hair like this boy.

After killing the Demon King, the hero and his companions disappeared. The imperial family said that the warrior and his companions went into seclusion to spend the rest of their lives comfortably, and the holy sword was also returned from the imperial family.

I thought it was strange that even the ‘saint’ Elin disappeared without showing her face. However, it was difficult to doubt the imperial family. Because the warrior’s strength was ‘real’, it was at a level where he could not be killed even if he wanted to. Therefore, I thought this was also the will of the goddess and forgot about it.

At this moment, all the puzzles began to fit together. The disappeared hero and his companions, a curse that seems to have come from the devil.

‘In the end, did the imperial family betray first…’

‘We should deal with the urgent situation first.’

“Ichael, you have hurt this boy greatly. It must have been too much pain for an innocent child to give a lecture.”

“For this reason, if you return to the main school, you will be punished accordingly. “Do you have any objections?”

“No.”

After answering, Ikael walked in front of Aris.

“Sorry. Because of my misjudgment, I have caused irreparable harm to your friend.”

“… The apology should be to Arthur, who is lying next to me, not to me. And I have no intention of forgiving you. “I want to tear you to death right now.”

“… If you come to our main school in the capital someday, look for me. “I will provide sufficient compensation at that time.”

“Yes. “I don’t know when that will be, but I think it will be profitable to take your life, right?”

Ikael smiled bitterly.

The Pope said to Aris.

“I apologize on your behalf. If you ever need help, come to me. “I will definitely help you at least once.”

“Yes. “I’ll take Arthur first.”

After saying that, Aris tried to pick up Arthur. But he couldn’t lift it because of Arthur’s appearance.

Her neck was covered with black bruises showing signs of pressure, and her fingernails and toenails had all been pulled out, leaving only hardened blood in their place. When I took a quick look at the body, there were severe burn marks and cuts from something sharp, and the entire body was covered in blood and bruises as if it had been severely assaulted. The only part that was intact was the face.

“I-I-IK!!! “I will kill you now!!!”

Suddenly, a blue current surged from Aris’ body again, and she pulled out her sword and tried to lunge at Ikael.

The surprised Pope stopped Aris, and upon hearing the reason, he treated Arthur with her heel for an hour.

“Whew… I wonder who’s heel is like this… It’s finally over now. Ikael, you must be really prepared.”

Ikael could not raise his head as he remembered the terrible torture he had inflicted on the boy.
“Yes…”

Aris used his status spear, vowing in his heart that he would definitely kill Ikael with his own hands.

Aris, who had memorized Ikael’s abilities, carried the fallen Arthur on his back. He briefly greeted the Pope and left the square. As he walked, a question came to his mind.

“Now that I think about it, why didn’t Master come to the square?”

“Didn’t you come after seeing from afar that I saved Arthur?”

Ominous thoughts continued to appear in Aris’ head, and she walked to the last location where her village chief and teacher were, hoping that nothing would happen.
