Chapter 824 – Mythology Academy
Seongil casts Theodore’s Great Haru Magic, the strongest buff magic in the Cursed Throne world, on such deans. As the magic that increases agility, strength, and cognition without side effects surrounds the party, they are amazed by the strange buff magic they have never experienced before.
『Tiring!』
“… At this timing?”
Seong-il is taken aback by the sound of the alarm that suddenly appears. However, given the situation, rather than checking the alarm, he decides to do his best to lead his colleagues out of the collapsing dimensional rift.
‘First… It’s not too late to check after we get out of here.’
Since he was planning to take a short break away from the evil spirits after leaving this place anyway, Seong-il suppresses his curiosity for a moment and repeatedly flies forward.
“Let’s take a break.”
Seong-il, who is located in a space crack far away from the evil spirit, opens his inventory, takes out various potions, and gives them to the two deans. Afterward, he restores all the clones by letting them into his body, leaving behind only the Creator’s doll, which does not suffer any penalty for freely operating outside.
Gulp… Gulp…
Completely ignoring the two evil spirits glaring at him fiercely, Seong-il frantically drinks a high-quality potion and checks for the identity of the unexpected notification.
『Congratulations! You have succeeded in using magic freely with the body of a psychic. In the end!! A transcendentalist has been born at Mythology Academy! Get your reward.』
‘What… Was it a reward for clearing a sub-quest?’
When a message appeared that seemed to be less important than Seongil had thought, he stopped looking at the content for a moment and was about to do something else. He realizes that not one, but two alarms came at the same time.
“Is this…?”
Seong-il clicks on the message as if possessed and looks at its contents. Then, an emergency mission appears.
『Hidden & Emergency Mission: True Salvation』
* You have the opportunity to drive out the three evil spirits who have caused the world of Mythology Academy to suffer for a long time! Eliminate them and succeed in saving Mythology Academy where no one has succeeded!!
* Hidden activation conditions (3/3): Achieving Transcendence, meeting the academy dean, confronting the three evil gods
* True Ending Reward: Epic Artifact
‘Ho… It’s the true ending…’
Seong-il’s eyes light up at the appearance of a mission that seems to have significant rewards. In addition, since the sub-quest for achieving the Transcendental Master was one of the three conditions for unlocking the true ending, Seong-il sensed that the reward for clearing the mission would not be weak, so he stopped putting it off and looked at the reward.
* You have succeeded in achieving transcendental mastery. As a reward, you will receive 100,000 points and a skill copy ticket!
* Skill Copy Ticket: You can copy a skill from a friendly NPC and make it a unique skill.
“Oh…!!”
Since Mythology Academy was full of people with transcendental abilities, there were countless possibilities to acquire useful skills. Therefore, Seong-il looks pleased when he sees the skill copy ticket that appears at just the right time.
“What’s going on?”
“Oh, actually…”
Seong-il continues to drink recovery potions and secretly explains to the two deans through augmented reality how he obtained a reward from the game master a while ago. The two deans’ eyes sparkle as they hear Seong-il’s explanation that he has obtained a transcendent artifact that allows him to copy the power of others.
『Seongil doesn’t have any space-related superpowers yet, right? How about taking it now?』
『Space… You mean?』
“That’s right. My superpower. Although I know that Seongil can already use powers similar to spatial abilities by using reality manipulation… If you check the battle scene he showed me the day before, it seems that Seongil’s reality manipulation is forcing a huge amount of consumption?』〈 Br〉
『That’s right.』
Dean Anila recommends Seong-il to copy his spatial ability, which shows great effectiveness in battle. In particular, the dean cajoles him, saying that his strength is that if a being with so much magical power masters spatial abilities, he can chain-use long-distance teleportation or dimensional gates.
‘Definitely… When I got involved with Chairman Yoo Chang-jin… His spatial ability was quite annoying.’
Seong-il was very impressed with the spatial ability because the method of creating a rift in the dimension and then attacking the square through it was extremely frustrating.
Therefore, after learning reality manipulation, he copied Yoo Chang-jin’s fighting style and used it to his advantage in battle. However, the unfortunate thing is that space manipulation is not an ability by nature, and because space ability is one of the most powerful power laws that governs the universe, like the power of time, using the ability to manipulate reality consumes a lot of internal energy. There was this.
‘Seeing that Chairman Yoo Chang-jin and Dean Anila are not having any difficulties, it is clear that if they absorb the spatial ability, the consumption value will be reduced. If so…’
Originally, Seong-il would have thought about using the skill copy right with considerable deliberation, but since he desperately needs the help of new powers to eliminate the powerful enemy in front of him, he boldly decides to copy Dean Anila’s skills.
“Then. I will do so.”
Seong-il boldly tears up his scroll towards Dean Anila. Then, an intense wave emanated from there. Because the wave of heavy power coming from there was unusual, even the foreign media momentarily forgot to curse Seong-il and his party and watched the scene in silence.
『Interesting. Just a weapon made of pieces of an unknown great being is impressive… But now you’re using a scroll through which the harvest of an even more powerful being flows?』
『Okay…!! 』
For Tala and Nygl, the being in front of them is not simply a magnificent being blessed by an unknown great being, but something unknown. It is interesting to realize that you are receiving the support of another great being.
『Interesting… A great being born in the beginning that we don’t know about…? There are gods of order besides us, but they must be idiots who are stuck in their own dimension and don’t like to go outside, right?』
『Kruk…!! They… No… The smell… Is different… The intensity… Is different…!!』
In response to Tala’s cries, Nygl dismisses her words as if they were nonsense. Seong-il, who completely ignores the guys’ attempts to sneak up on him and inquire about the identity of the godhead, projects the power of the space he copied a little while ago to the outside.
“Ho…!! That’s good.”
With the help of nanomachines and sensitivity, Seongil quickly begins to skillfully manipulate the power of space. Seongil even had experience using a similar type of power through reality manipulation during several fierce battles, and succeeded in mastering the power of space in just the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
‘Convergence… I guess practicing it now would be like a thief.’
With an important battle ahead, Seong-il had no intention of doing something crazy like conducting an experiment in a space devoid of natural energy, so Seong-il finished the experiment and told the two deans to battle once again.
『Let’s go to Naigl.』
According to the setting, Tala is the least skilled among the three evil gods, but is very cunning, making her the most difficult opponent. Therefore, Seongil tries to fight by defeating Naigul rather than dealing with that cunning evil spirit first.
『Gam… Hee…!!』
The mortal before our eyes. No, when the being who appeared to be a demigod seemed to be targeting him first, Nygul was so annoyed by that attitude that he trembled in anger.
“You remember the pattern from earlier, right?”
“Yes!!”
Seong-il summons many soul clones that have fully rested within his soul and orders them to play the role of tanks on the front lines. At his command, the clones each raised their weapons without the slightest hesitation and rushed towards Nygl.
‘That’s disgusting.’
Nygl’s spirit body is difficult to describe other than in words. From the rotting brown flesh, disgusting tentacles made up of countless mouths were spreading endlessly around, repeatedly spewing out dirty pus.
“Kwaeeeeek!!!”
As Seongil and his group arrive, Nigle’s tentacles open countless disgusting mouths and begin to spit out pus more violently than before. It had a terrible smell and was exerting the power to rot or disease everything around it as soon as it touched it.
“… Be careful not to touch it!!”
Seong-il realizes that if he tries to fight like he did before with Ruhob, the clone could be quite wasted, so he prevents the clone from engaging in active hand-to-hand combat.
“Everyone, get the pulse gun!! Use the spatial manipulation you learned a little while ago to bounce off half of the disgusting liquid, and bomb the rest with the pulse gun I gave you!!”
“Yes!!!”
Screaming, Seong-il takes out a bunch of minor-grade versions of the Judger, which he recently created for the Eden Hunters by analyzing his weapon, the Judger, and throws them at the clones.
“You two, launch an offensive focusing on debuffs! If you do that, my clone will suppress the tentacles with long-range attacks!!”
“I understand.”
