Academy Squints, but is not dark-Episode 202

Episode 202

202fury. Maestro Volkan of Battle(9)

“Wow!”

The warlock fell over after being hit by Charon's fist..

After confirming that the guy had fainted, Charon took out an artifact..

It was a capture artifact that blocked the flow of mana..

Arms, legs, and even mouth.

Charon, who carefully restrained the warlock's recruit, blew a light whistle..

Then, a gutter rat appeared from nowhere, wrapped around the warlock, and quickly disappeared..

“……Is it the third one?.”

To be exact, two were arrested and one died..

In fact, Charon had gone through the same thing as Otto's team..

The sight of a dead warlock turning into a skeleton and resurrecting other skeletons is truly amazing.…….

‘Even I got goosebumps..’

After that, Charon chose to restrain the recruit rather than kill the warlock..

It was partly to extract information later, but also because they wanted to prevent the dark wizard from rising again..

Of course, you can easily handle it if you use a divine power potion.…….

‘Making sacred power potions a waste. Isn’t that this guy Volkan’s first goal??’

From Charon's perspective, it was quite intentional..

I don't know what moves Volkan prepared, but if you don't have the divine power potion at that time, you'll be in quite a bit of trouble..

That was clearly clear.

Anyway, from Charon's perspective, it was much more beneficial to restrain the warlock rather than kill him..

There will be no need to turn into a skeleton and be resurrected, and you will no longer waste holy power potions..

“Tsk.”

Charon, who was searching the next building, clicked his tongue..

The location of the warlock could not be determined..

The reason why even Charon, who is used to tracking and searching, has a hard time.

This was because the power of the magic circle floating in the sky was still there..

‘Moreover, I created a hiding space in advance..’

In the end, Charon had no choice but to search the walls and floors of the building one by one using his eyes, hands, feet, and senses..

Grumble-!

At that moment, thunder sounded outside. Charon immediately went outside and inspected the battlefield..

Golden lightning was striking all over the battlefield..

‘Adonis?’

Charon was able to recognize the fact right away..

It was natural since we had been on the battlefield together more than a dozen times. Of course, he was working as Douglas, not as Adonis.…….

‘It's still the same.’

Even though his body has become smaller, his majesty is still the same..

Originally, Adonis was one of the trump cards prepared by the empire..

That's why I wanted him to move as late as possible, but I also wanted to follow Adonis' judgment and choice..

It wasn't something Charon could say..

And in the first place.

‘You've been patient for this long..’

Although the punitive force appears to be in danger, they are called the ‘rising stars of the empire’..

He would have been able to survive on his own for at least an hour or two, and even more would have been possible if Elester or Lucia had supported him from time to time..

This means that Volkan could have pulled off one or two more of the moves he prepared..

of course.

‘In the process, several people had no choice but to die..’

Adonis was concerned about that, and in the end he had no choice but to show his skills first..

Even though he knew that this action would ultimately lead to Adonis, himself, being strangled..

What you should never do in a situation like now, when you don't know what your opponent is aiming for on the battlefield..

But that's why.

“……You're called a hero..”

A willingness to make sacrifices.

This was also the reason why Charon deeply respected Adonis..

Grumble-!

“…….”

The strongest card has been revealed, but there is nothing bad about it.

Even if the existence of Adonis knows, it is not something that can be stopped..

The real secret weapon they have in the first place is.

‘Because Adonis holds the holy sword.’

You will be able to easily subdue one or two of the trump cards that Volkan has prepared..

After completing the search, Charon was about to move to the next building..

A gutter rat stuck its face out of the window..

“It is said that the potion sent by Ottone Joe was delivered to the main unit..”

“Ottone made a good decision. How is the situation at the university??”

“I am taking a break in second shift while treating minor injuries. no deaths.”

“……What about the corps commander??”

“The framework of the building has just been revealed. I think we'll be able to knock down the building soon..”

With that report, the rat left..

Charon surveyed the battlefield once again..

The number of resurrected skeletons had decreased noticeably..

Although it is partly because he, the rat, and Ottone Joe succeeded in capturing the warlocks,.

‘This is probably because the amount of mana consumed is greater than the amount recovered..’

Crying-!

crispy!

Skulls that crumble to pieces every time Adonis passes by..

It will take more mana than usual to raise the powdered skull again..

A situation where the punitive force is dominating the battlefield..

But it was not without elements of anxiety..

‘5Commander Crowley…….’

It has been confirmed that the resurrected skeleton can use the abilities it had when it was alive..

Corps Commander Crowley will also be able to use the power he had when he was alive, ‘power’.

‘If he comes back to life, there is no chance for us to win..’

Preventing the resurrection of the commander is the top priority..

But Charon didn't head there..

Because he knew very well that even if he went, it wouldn't be of much help..

bang! Crumbling-!

Explosions occurred periodically where Elester and Lucia were..

‘I'm casting a spell. If you intervene, it will only be a hindrance..’

Moreover, Charon is specialized in interpersonal combat..

Even if you plunge a dagger into a building, you'll only take out a few dozen bricks..

‘It is much more profitable to find Volkan and Warlock..’

A gift of freedom to the main body, including Adonis..

That was his role and mission..

It was that moment.

Jejeojeok - Jejeojeok-.

Clink-!

The magic circle floating in the sky split apart, and half of it turned into powder and flew away..

Sasha succeeded in destroying more than half of the magic stones..

Only then was Charon able to sense the mana of the warlocks..

It was only in the western area where the magic circle lost its power, but this was enough..

‘Half and half… … No, is it superior by about 7:3?.’

It is difficult to say that we won, but it is a ratio that is enough to say that we won..

Charon decided to make a decision..

‘Time is not on our side. If Crowley is resurrected, it's all over..’

Charon put a couple of fingers in his mouth and whistled vigorously..

Beep profit-!!

The popularity that was felt one or two soon increased to dozens..

The growing popularity stopped only when people reached their fifties..

After the main force entered Kalos, it is the number of rats that secretly followed..

This was the number of street rats that Charon had specially prepared for this mission..

“After defeating the warlock, escape Kalos. Please don't kill me if possible.”

“yes!”

The gutters immediately took action..

They were gutter rats who had prepared to send information about the enemy to the empire, assuming the worst case scenario that everyone would die..

But Charon decided to send them into battle..

This was because the judgment was made that the sooner the warlocks hiding in the building could be eliminated, the easier it would be to subdue this battlefield..

‘I will leave Kalos with the warlock, so even if a situation arises, I will be able to convey enough information..’

The combat power of the gutter rat is weak. But if there are a lot of them, the situation is different..

“Pfft!”

“100 million!”

The sound of a warlock falling was heard everywhere..

Charon also took action immediately..

a little faster.

To conquer this battlefield.

* * *

A huge cavity of indeterminate size.

Again-.

A drop of water fell from the ceiling..

Because the cavity was so large, it seemed like it would take a considerable amount of time for the water droplets to reach the ground..

Knock!

But before the water droplets even hit the ground, they turned into dozens of small water droplets..

It was because it touched ‘an object’ before hitting the ground..

One object was none other than a bone.

A pure white bone without a single piece of flesh or nerve tissue attached..

The strange thing is, the bones were huge..

So much so that it fills the cavity, so much so that as soon as a drop of water falls, it hits the bone and shatters into pieces..

“hmm?”

Volkan, the warlock who was chanting a spell while touching the bone, raised his head..

This is because I felt that the number of warlocks leaving the battlefield was increasing one by one..

They are like limbs, playing the most important role in this battlefield, and are being kidnapped..

It was a situation that could not help but be embarrassing. but.

“Hehehe, all the rats have finally come out..”

A smile appeared on Volkan's face..

“Charon, you expected it to turn out like this..”

Information, prevention of resurrection, and prevention of waste of divine power potions..

He must have decided that it would be more beneficial to arrest the warlocks rather than kill them..

And there was a trap prepared by trusting such a capable Charon..

Taaak!

Volkan snapped his fingers..

After a while, he could feel.

All the warlocks who were dragged away while unconscious faced death..

It was the result of activating the ‘curse’ that had been placed on them in advance..

By killing the warlocks, there is no need to worry about information being stolen, and you can resurrect as a skeleton to create chaos on the battlefield..

Since the warlock skull can resurrect other skulls, it will inevitably be necessary to use holy power potions as well..

But that wasn't Volkan's only goal..

“Charon, it's all your fault that the rats are dying. so… … I want you to go together.”

Because that would be courtesy and atonement for them..

Volkan's mouth opened awkwardly..

“corpse explosion.”

* * *

“Charon, let me finish..”

“hmm.”

Charon handed over the restrained warlock to the gutter rat..

Even though he was wearing a mask, I could tell who it was..

He entered the school last year and, after completing difficult training, became an official gutter rat this year..

When he was fifteen, he was advised to enroll in Annwood Academy, but he was immediately rejected..

He said that working in the darkest places suits him..

Yes. She was a spirited and very cheeky child..

‘……I'll have to send it to the academy as soon as this mission is over..’

The mission is to disguise yourself as a student and enter the academy to collect various information from students..

Since you have to be active among students, you will be forced to take classes..

You will make friends and you will be able to live a life like a fifteen year old..

‘Whether you continue working as a gutter rat after graduation or take a different path... … It's none of my business.’

In the first place, I wasn't a good cat to take part in this mission..

However, because there were so few people, we had no choice but to bring them in..

Well, the moment you take the warlock out of Kalos, safety is guaranteed, so there is no reason to worry anymore..

It was that moment.

“Wow……!”

“what?”

The warlock with the rat on his back let out a sigh..

Charon saw that and felt strange..

Such as on the wrist or inside the mouth. This is because all spaces where poison could be hidden were inspected..

There was no reason for the warlock to suddenly die..

“……?”

And the very moment I made eye contact with the gutter rat in the air..

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!!

Charon's body was thrown out of the building as the explosion engulfed the building..

Bleep.-!

Tinnitus disturbed my ears.

Charon quickly grasped the situation. something exploded.

Explosive trap? No, is it magic??

“Cough!”

I entered the building despite coughing..

This was because we needed to check the extent of the rat’s injuries..

Charon waved his arms and succeeded in settling the dust..

The appearance of a street rat with only the bottom of its ankle remaining..

Only then did Charon realize.

What exploded was not an explosive or anything, but the corpse of a warlock..

And his face and his whole body.

It's stained with the blood and flesh of the rat..

“……Was it a trap?.”

Charon, the gutter rat, and the resurrected warlock are obsessed with information..

It was clear that he took advantage of that point..

1Dust was seen rising from buildings all over the Earth..

How many gutters died because of their own wrong judgment?.

Charon sat down without realizing it..

I repeated at the same time.

“……What are you doing now, Caron?.”

Did you want a complete victory without losing anything??

Are you still in that fantasy??

Have you forgotten the cruelty of war??

That can't be possible. I have never forgotten a single moment.

but.

I was a little tired, I just needed some time to compose myself..

Charon stood up..

Falling into sentimentality, falling into guilt.

After this war is over, it's enough.

Beep profit-!

Whistle sounds rang out here and there. It was a whistle calling for rescue..

fear, confusion, sadness.

Gutter rats are beings who have been educated not to open their mouths under any circumstances..

Due to the nature of the rat collecting information, there was a high probability that death would result if the location was discovered..

So, the rats make whistles, birdsong, animal sounds, etc..

I used to communicate in ways other than words..

Yes. diarrhea.

Even if you have several parts of your body blown off..

That was when Charon was about to move towards the nearest whistle..

Saaaa-.

The body of a rat with only the area below the ankle remaining..

The attached flesh melted away in an instant, leaving only the bones..

At the same time, the bone fragments scattered here and there came together little by little, and soon formed two shapes..

One is a warlock skull, and the other is…….

Ta-dak-tad-dak-!

It was a skeleton holding a dagger..

It was clearly the skeleton of a fifteen-year-old rat that was with him just moments ago..

Before we even have time to mourn, we make our allies fight among themselves. It was really fucking capable..

“……sorry.”

You made me suffer while I was alive, but you make me suffer even after I die..

Charon made a promise while applying divine power potion to the dagger..

Volkan, wait..

You must be.

“Because I will tear you to death.”
