I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 22
22fury
silver body.
eight legs.
The name of the spider-like object made of metal was ‘Iron Spider’..
Rumbling-!
With a loud noise, stone fragments fell from right above our heads..
Fortunately, everyone was on board the Gigant, so there was no major damage..
But I couldn't be happy about it. Because the Iron Spider that broke through the wall was closing the distance by the minute..
Iron Spiders were not very strong individuals, but there were many of them and the terrain itself was too advantageous for them..
“Move!”
Hena, who was right in front of Abel, shouted loudly and raised both hands..
Gigant's henna-covered palm suddenly contained a blue gem..
As we saw in the mock battle the other day, Henna's close combat skills were not that great yet..
However, from the beginning, henna had a separate main weapon..
Pajik.
The jewel suddenly shattered and sparks flew out from there..
Hwareuk!
And that ember turned into a huge flame and engulfed the spider that was running up the wall..
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“Key profit!”
The spiders were scared and struggled. The object in front was half melted..
Even though it was an urgent situation, it looked so impressive that several people were amazed..
‘But it's not enough.’
But Abel was not quick to rejoice..
No matter how great henna's abilities were, it had clear limitations..
Currently, Henna does not have a dedicated magic tool, so magic stones are used as a temporary solution..
In other words, when the magic stone falls, the attack power is lost..
‘Even if Henna is the princess of Del Chior, she cannot carry around such expensive items on a daily basis.…….’
Grumbling-!
With that thought in mind, Abel was about to step forward when a huge flame rose up in front of him once again..
‘is not it?’
Henna constantly took out the magic stone from her pocket and used it..
It was an amazing sight, but I couldn't stop looking at it..
Because spiders suddenly appeared behind Abel and attacked him..
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The spiders ran freely on the vertical wall and swung their feet towards Abel and Henna..
The attack coming from an unexpected location was more threatening than expected..
However, Abel was not embarrassed and instead leaned back slightly and swung his arms..
Kwasik!
When I hit the side of the leg exactly, the leg that seemed solid was completely broken..
“Kieeeeek!”
Abel then grabbed the screaming spider and threw it down the stairs..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The stairs shook menacingly with a loud noise..
Then, Abel rushed towards the other spider without stopping..
And not only that, everyone regained their composure despite the sudden attack and fought against the Iron Spider..
how long has it been.
‘How many are there??’
Abel looked around as he completely crushed the spider's head with his legs..
Soon his face distorted..
“There's no end.”
Even though Abel alone took care of dozens of spiders, the number of spiders still seemed unabated..
This is because new spiders keep joining us..
The good news was that there was no major damage here yet..
But complaining didn't change anything, so Abel continued to fight and slowly made his way down the stairs..
Going down the stairs and dealing with the spiders that were running at you like crazy was not only difficult, it was so hard that it made you vomit..
Then at some point.
“omg!”
Henna, who was running right in front of her, lost her leg and stumbled wildly..
Abel immediately grabbed Tito, who was covered in henna, and pinned him against the wall..
Kwaang!
A big leg stuck in the spot where Henna was standing..
Daniel heard the sound from the front and immediately swung his fist and knocked the spider away..
Although her expression could not be seen because it was covered by Tito, Henna spoke in a trembling voice as if she was shocked..
-thank you…….
-Can I keep moving??
-Yes.
-Let's cheer up a little more.
Abel said that and turned his head..
The situation wasn't bad.
Even though the people here were chicks with little experience, they had amazing talent..
Although Iolin and Daniel were not as strong as Abel, they aggressively pushed back against the spiders..
And Charlotte, June, and Lian were effectively blocking the spiders that were digging through the cracks..
May had completely abandoned her usual laziness and was blazing a trail with Tania from the front..
Abel took in the sight at a glance, took a breath, and shouted..
-Don't stop and run!
Dealing with spiders is important, but you have to set your priorities clearly..
The priority goal now was to go down all the stairs and get out of the tower..
Even if they were holding up well now, it would be extremely difficult to keep fighting in a place like this, and there was no telling how long the stairs would hold up..
Abel shouted whenever he felt like the battle was heating up, and he was able to go down little by little..
Kwasik!
But there could be no damage at all..
Daniel's Tito is impaled by a spider's foot and floats in the air..
Abel hurriedly flew out and pulled Daniel’s aircraft towards him..
Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go!
The spider did not give up and swung its foot again, and in the process, one of the arms of Tito, whom Daniel was riding, was torn off..
If Abel hadn't stepped forward in time, it wouldn't have ended with just one arm..
“Kieeeeek!”
Moreover, the spiders attacked even more frantically as if they would not miss this opportunity..
-Daniel! Cheer up a little more!
-Ah Okay!
After landing, Daniel lost his balance and stumbled for a moment, but soon started running again..
Meanwhile, the spiders' attacks continued..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Abel gritted his teeth and actively swung his fist to fill Daniel's empty space..
-We're almost there!
how long has it been.
I heard Tania yelling from up front..
Just as she said, I could see the entrance to the tower down there..
Quad deud deuk!
One arm of Iolin's aircraft was torn off by the spider's attack..
Even though the shock must have been great, Iolin waved his remaining arm like crazy..
Kwaaang!
The aircraft Lian was controlling had been attacked five times already and was in tatters, but it did not stop..
Henna continued to cast magic using the magic stone..
May took on the spider flawlessly even though one of her legs was almost completely shattered..
The number of spiders killed was already close to hundreds..
Of course, as the battle was fierce, all our aircraft were not in good condition..
but they didn't stop.
Until the last person goes down the stairs and runs out of the tower..
“Huh, huh!”
Abel left the tower for the last time and took a deep breath..
I wanted to lie down on the floor, but I couldn't..
‘also…….’
Even though we managed to escape, the atmosphere was not so good..
That's because the corpses of annihilated soldiers and the remains of smashed Gigants were scattered in front of the tower..
* * *
There are no reinforcements.
The tower's forces have already been annihilated..
there's one more.
“Well, something is blocking it..”
There was something like an invisible, transparent wall blocking their path..
It was strong enough to survive even when Tania hit it with all her might..
Those two facts alone were already depressing, but as we approached, there were more swarms of iron spiders waiting outside the tower than inside..
There were so many spiders clinging to the outer walls of the tower that it seemed as if the tower was originally silver..
They did not rush straight to Abel and his companions who came out of the tower, but slowly approached them..
He had a relaxed attitude, as if he was dealing with a rat in a poison..
Abel looked at that with a slightly tired face and thought to himself..
‘The entire empire is in shock..’
he knew.
This incident is a shocking event that will shake not only the empire but the entire continent..
The Empire is one of the most powerful countries on the continent, and the Wall of Glory was a strong shield that was never breached during the last great war, as well as periodic attacks by titans..
But today, the wall of glory was breached for the first time..
‘I already knew this.’
He was the only one who knew it in advance.
But even knowing that, there was little Abel could do..
Because he is only a 16 year old boy..
Who will believe what he says??
Of course, as Abel said, I could have changed my mind after seeing what was happening..
If you get it right a few times in a row, you might be considered a prophet..
But then?
‘the future changes.’
If Abel steps forward and changes the future, and we face a future we don't know anything about, what should we do then??
Should I say that my magical power has decreased??
That wasn't what he wanted..
In order to clear this game, you must not do that..
A force that no one can ignore.
An influence and major that no one can ignore. And colleagues and subordinates who will support you.
Must have it all.
“Phew.”
Abel caught his breath and stuffed the remaining magic booster into his mouth at once..
Since it wasn't originally intended for this purpose, it would suffer significant aftereffects, but this was the only way to save everyone..
Abel moved the aircraft slowly..
As he continued his thoughts, his eyes kept moving as if searching for something, and soon he caught sight of his goal..
-Please hold on just a little while longer.
-what?
-there is a way.
Tania, who was frowning heavily, looked at Abel with a strange expression..
Abel's words, being only a freshman, are not very persuasive. No, it had to be. If it's the way it was.
But in the current situation, there was no other option anyway..
-okay.
I don't know what Abel is after, but her job is to keep her cadets safe. Just adding one thing to it..
-Everyone picked up appropriate weapons and stood around Abel..
Tania said that and stared at the spiders swarming in front..
The cadets picked up suitable weapons from the floor. What Abel picked up was a spear..
“Hueup.”
Abel took a deep breath and took a stance..
The barrier surrounding the tower is the ability of a unique entity..
The ability itself is extremely excellent, but on the other hand, the original ability itself is woefully inferior..
That's why he is thoroughly 'protected'.
Normally, there would be no way to know the existence or even the location of such an entity, but Abel was different..
Because I had played the game dozens or hundreds of times and remembered the location perfectly..
Of course, reality and games do not match perfectly..
So, as soon as Abel came out, he looked up at the tower. to find its location.
And finally I saw it in his eyes.
‘Slightly above middle.’
There were an unusually large number of spiders on one side of the tower..
It might have been hard to notice if you didn't already know it, but Abel never missed that small difference..
‘You only get one chance.’
If I made a mistake, it would be a truly painful misjudgment. Because there won't be a second chance.
However, instead of hesitating due to the burden, Abel increased his magical power even more..
‘little bit more.’
Abel waited like that..
I wanted to throw the spear in my hand right now, but what I needed now was patience..
-left! Block the left!
Before we knew it, spiders had swarmed right in front of us and were pounding hard on the planes controlled by Tania and the cadets..
How long can I last? 5 minutes? 4 minutes?
probably not that long.
I felt impatient. But Abel waited and waited..
Because you only get one chance.
“Kieeeeeeek!”
Waiting is a gap.
very small gap.
Kwaaaaang-!
Iolin's aircraft bounced back..
Seeing as my lower body was blown away, I won't be able to fight anymore.
Kwasik!
Ryan's head was pierced..
The damage was increasing. And the spiders seemed to think it was almost over, so they rushed even more aggressively..
It was that moment.
The spiders that were gathered together began to move slowly..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
As soon as Abel caught that sight, he raised his entire body's magic power..
It was quite difficult to control it delicately due to the excessive dose of magic power booster, but the experience of attacking with all my magic at once several times before was very helpful..
I caught the magic energy that was flying in all directions and moved it to one side..
ugh ugh ugh-.
The spear trembled uneasily, and blue sparks flew out from the magic power that had reached its limit..
I drew a picture in my head.
I thought of a ray of lightning piercing the target..
At this moment, the aircraft becomes nothing more than a tool to shoot lightning..
‘torpedo spear.’
The moment he called that name in his heart.
Rumbling!
A spear split the air with a thunderous sound..
The spiders that had left their spot tried to rush back, but the spear had already arrived at its destination with a loud noise..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
One side of the tower collapsed.
Tito, who fired the spear, fell limp, puffing out smoke from his entire body..
‘Was it successful??’
Even while frowning due to the oncoming headache, Abel did not take his eyes off the tower..
Eventually, the smoke cleared and the point where the spear pierced was clearly revealed..
And Abel’s expression brightened..
Da da da da da da da-!
It was at that time that the spiders that had been running at me like crazy, fearing death, suddenly started running away..
-uh!
Then, a surprised voice was heard from behind Abel..
Abel barely managed to muster up the strength to turn his head. And with an expression of surprise he found those who were looking this way.
“Su, attack! It's an attack-!”
The barrier has been broken.
Then a message came to mind.
[Clear the sudden quest ‘Escape’!]
[Not a single person died during the escape! Additional rewards are given!]
[A ‘Reliable Supporter’ event will be held in a few days.!]
Only then did Abel relax and smile..
* * *
A garden bathed in hot sunlight.
There, Abel was looking at a middle-aged man with a very nervous expression on his face..
The quest's additional reward was completely unexpected..
“Nice to meet you.”
Duke Del Chior greeted Abel..
