Chapter 383 – Mythology Academy
“Even if you come freely when you come. Not when you go?”
Powerful magic power emitted from the magic circle. That power is embodied in the form of a chain and begins to bind the Lord of the Abyss.
『THIS FUCKING THINGS!!!!』
The lord of the abyss twists his whole body in rage when his body loses freedom. Still, it breaks the chains with its strong power and removes the restraints of the body.
“Oh, are you feeling good?”
However, an elderly wizard mocking the devil’s outbursts and beckoning lightly. Then, in an instant, another chain pops out from the magic circle and binds the demon again.
『Kuaaa!!!』
The lord of the abyss who goes mad and rampages at that figure. Towards such a guy, other wizards and psychics launch merciless attacks one after another.
『Kwaaaaa!!!
A lord of the abyss whose limbs were pierced by huge metal spears, and blood spurted like a fountain from all over his body. Above his head, a huge storm of cold and acid raged relentlessly, burning and tearing his flesh.
“It’s like an insolent servant of an evil god.”
Professor Fidel wields a huge sword after ‘flickering’ from the back of the devil and appearing as a teleportation. In his powerful blow, the devil’s strong arm is severed from the shoulder to the shoulder.
“This guy!!”
“…You’re repeating the same thing from before? Could it be the chicken head?”
The old wizard who was restraining him mocked the Lord of the Abyss all the time, constantly putting new chains of demons around him.
“Someday!! I’ll come back here and chew you guys up!!! I will torture you for a hundred years and a thousand years to make you consider yourself a dog and a pig!”
“Ha. Do you think sending a part of your soul to the material world to create an alter ego is all-around? No way?”
As if mocking him, Professor Aron starts inserting a long spear into his torso. And Professor Ahindel’s ridicule followed.
“That’s right. Summoning is not invincible. Before the body you created when you entered the material world collapses, if you bind your second soul somewhere, what will happen to your soul that descended here?”
『…These cheeky mortals!!!』
The Lord of the Abyss, who understood the hidden meaning of the professors’ words. As soon as he hears that, he instantly erases the angry expression he’s been wearing so far, and mumbles with a grim expression that he corrected.
“Under! I can’t help it.』
The Lord of the Abyss begins to memorize something. Then red blood oozes out of his body and begins to boil.
Then, the body of the demon crumble little by little. The professor in charge of the magic circle in that scene laughs and mocks him.
“Ah~ Is this a suicide attempt? I’m very grateful that you’re even easing the hassle now.”
As if he had waited, a middle-aged professor infuses new magic into the magic circle with the help of other professors. Then, the evil power is filled in the magic circle, and it begins to enter the body of the demon that is crumbling.
“Dare…!!”
The Lord of the Abyss who tried to break free from the material world by forcibly mutilating his own body. However, as if the professors had already predicted his outburst, the devil made a look of trembling when he forced him to recover so that he would not die.
“Expect. Didn’t you tell us earlier? You’re going to torture us for an eternity. Why don’t you try the opposite now?”
『…That’s it, it’s just split souls. I couldn’t inflict even one blow that was as small as snow on my body. It’s gone.』
“Of course I know. But, even if it’s a split marriage, it’s still part of the essence. We know too many ways to use it to harm the main body.”
“Bouncer! Do you think you can easily do that!!”
“Who said you do it alone? This is Mythology Academy. It is a place where numerous geniuses from all over the continent have gathered. There are too many people who want to erupt?”
“Nice…!!”
The wizard answered with slightly gritted teeth as if he had accumulated a lot. Perhaps the sincerity has been conveyed, the Lord of the Abyss puts on a slightly embarrassed expression. Another sorceress, Professor Ahindel, who read the expression, continued his words by steadily injecting evil power into the nome so that he could not harm his own body.
“Look forward to it. Our academy’s talented professors will all cling to you and somehow obtain the essence fragments of your soul. That’s it. I promise.”
“Cheeky…!!!”
The devil tries his best by hurling abusive language without rest, but in the end, he is subdued by the professors’ group attack and is left in a state of immobility. In the meantime, some of the professors seem to have been quite angry with the guy’s rampage, and repeatedly inflicting pain on him by using magic or superpowers enough to keep him from dying.
『Kwaaaaa!!!』
If it was a fair amount of pain, he would have been a demon who would enjoy the feeling, but the professors cleverly use his weakness and harass him repeatedly. Eventually, the demon cannot stand the torture and begins to let out his painful groans.
Therefore, the Lord of the Abyss begins to use spells as if desperate to escape from torture. However, immediately after that, two or three wizards clung to each other and dispelled the spell or hit the counter.
If she dies due to lack of magic power, she is forcibly injected with magic power to restore it, and when the body starts to recover, combat-type psychic people cling to her and cut off her limbs repeatedly. For a long time, he exquisitely beats the devil and completely drains his power.
『Kwaaaaa…!!!』
A demon who has been brutally tortured and seems to have lost his mind halfway. Unusually, his body was changing strangely, as if it seemed to be half-transparent, or invisible.
“Looks like you’re ready, but…”
“That’s right. Professors. Let’s start.”
The professor in charge of the magic circle nodded at Ahindel’s words and asked the professors around him for something.
Then, the two middle-aged professors who seem to have psychic powers begin to infuse the magician’s power even more strongly.
‘Oh… Is that a magic transfer technique?’
Psychic people who can transmit pure magical power. Compared to wizards who mainly use external magic, psychics draw magic using their microcosm, so although the output is small, it is possible to transmit more pure and stable magic to others.
‘Wouldn’t it be possible for accidents such as runaways to occur frequently if the magical power of the outer universe used by wizards was recklessly drawn in and used at random? That’s why psychics with stable abilities are specialized in buffs like that.’
Seeing that, Seong-il wonders what would happen if he were to use his skills similarly to mine.
When he was in trouble for a while. Soon, the professors begin to finish the work of sealing the devil.
A figure pulling the soul out of a demon’s body and putting it into something that appears to be a giant transparent cube. Although many of the demon’s souls were lost in the process, the professors eventually succeeded in transferring some of the demon’s souls to the cube.
‘Anyway, this scene…’
After the battle, as the excitement subsides, Seong-il begins to see the situation in front of him in detail. He realizes that one of the positive event scenes is the demon’s soul being contained in the cube.
‘This… Come to think of it, isn’t this the scene when the branch event was cleared positively?’
A demon summoning event during sparring that appears randomly in 3rd and 4th grade. As it was one of the main events, depending on the outcome of the battle, it led to negative or positive events.
‘There are a total of three quarters due to this event.’
‘Of course, if you lose, you die. That means game over…’
‘The second is a situation in which the main character gets seriously injured while buying time by running away. In this case, the Lord of the Abyss, who is in good condition without any damage, manages to withstand the attacks of the intruding professors and succeeds in escaping by suicide, ending the situation without any benefit to the protagonist.’
‘And the last one is this scene. It’s an event where a part of the devil’s soul is captured by the professors…’
When Seong-il sees this situation, he realizes how much he “Accidentally” Succeeded in a difficult event.
‘…Even though opening the third route with standard play is the simplest route to see a good ending, the difficulty level is atrocious, so users have to suffer in other ways to see a good ending, right?’
‘First of all, in-game, the Lord of the Abyss was one of the worst enemies along with the Shadow Dragon and the Prophet of Tala.’
Seong-il realizes that although he is only half-victory, he has made a good save against a really difficult opponent.
‘Haa… He was a really dirty type of enemy. He acted like a simple battle fanatic, but in reality he was a really cunning bastard. I learned a lot.’
Seong-il feels that way that she has something to improve on.
“Certainly, sticking with a strong enemy is a big help for growth… Huh?”
That time when he was lost in other thoughts for a while. Soon enough, professors begin to flock to the VIP room where Seong-il was sitting alone.
‘Fucked…’
Seong-il showed too many things to be called a simple freshman. Some of these abilities are astonishing even to professors, so Seong-il begins to get nervous, worrying about their questioning.
‘…If excessive interrogation comes in, I will give up the world of Mythology Academy.’
Seong-il looks at the faculty with a nervous expression, not knowing what will happen if the soul is captured like a demon sealed in a cube and becomes neither alive nor dead and sealed in the game.
There are many professors he knows, such as Wirain, Fidel, and Ahindel, as well as professors he has never seen before who are probably in charge of upperclassmen. They look at Seong-il blankly for a moment, and when he doesn’t seem to have any major injuries, everyone starts pouring out questions like a waterfall.
“You!!! Aren’t you a psychic?! How the hell did you use magic?! It seems like you used strength-enhancing magic!!!”
“What are you talking about!! It was magic that was manifested in an artifact. Although it was a unique type of magic that I had never seen before, it was definitely used in an artifact.”
The two wizards ask Seong-il questions and exchange answers among themselves. Penetrating between the two, a wizard asks Seong-il a question with an urgent expression.
“That’s not the point!! I’ve clearly seen with my own eyes that the acceleration magic was used!! Not even once!! A whopping three times!!!”
‘…I saw it exactly.’
“Out of the three manifestations, I didn’t see a single reaction from the artifact!! The problem is how it manifested… It felt like… Scrolling? I can feel it!! I know it because I’ve been paying attention!! Right? You used magic, right? It’s not an artifact, is it?”
“Is that kind of acceleration magic important right now?! How did you do teleportation!? A technique to go in and out of the sound dimension?! Is that a supernatural power!? Or is it magic?! That technique never borrowed the power of spirits. !! If the spirit is out of the owner’s body, it is impossible to express special abilities!! Is it magic or supernatural power?!”
“That’s right!! Also, what is the identity of the magic nullifier sphere and the area of effect magic that was used on the demons in the middle!? I’ve never seen such magic!!! There are similar magic… But anyway!! It was a new type of spell! Did you learn that?! Or an artifact?! How the hell did you use the spell?! And an orthodox psychic!?”
“Noisy!! Noisy!!!! Seongil-kun!! What is the potion that healed you from that fatal injury?! I can understand why you drank it without drinking it!! Your family is one of the richest families on the continent. If you are the heir to that family, you can do that. But, what the hell is the last potion you used!? I’ve never heard of a potion that restores mana and physical strength at the same time!! What the hell is that potion!? If that potion can be popularized…”
Questions from professors bursting out like mad from all sides. At that time, Seong-il looked like he was about to lose his mind at the baptism of crazy questions.
“Everyone shut up!!!!”
“!!!!”
“Since when did you dare to dig into the secrets of other talented people without paying?! Everyone, think about how rude you are doing and let the words come out of your mouth!!!!”
“…”
Professor Aaron Bjornsen sits between Seong-il and the professors and yells at them. Not only that, but for some reason, Professor Ahindel, the magician, was standing next to him, glaring at his fellow professors with a displeased expression.
“…The student in front of me is in a situation where he was struggling with the great devil even if he had a hundred lives.
Professor Ahindel criticizes them with a furrowed brow.
“Uh… Uh… So we just looked at Seongil-gun for a while, but he seemed fine…”
“Is that what you’re talking about?!!!!!”
“…”
When an angry voice comes out of Professor Ahindel, who usually doesn’t express much emotion, the professors start to take a step back with a grim expression.
“In addition, as Professor Aron said, under no circumstances should you persecute juniors to reveal their secrets!!
“Hmm…”
“The only time such a case can be ignored is when a young wizard or psychic has broken a taboo!! He has no circumstances under which he wrote a taboo, so he shouldn’t be asked such rude questions!!”
“…”
“If you have any questions, ask them at Han Seong-il’s public meeting soon! It sounds obvious, but you should give him a chance to ask questions in advance and adjust the secret exposure according to the procedure!”
‘…I never agreed to hold a meeting, did I?’
However, Seong-il, who knows that the two professors in front of him are shielding them for him, calmly shuts his mouth and waits for their conversation to end.
