Academy Squints, but is not dark-Episode 222
Episode 222
222fury. third force(8)
Charon’s neat and orderly report has begun..
The appearance of the Four Heavenly Kings Volkan.
The emergence of the undead and the start of battle.
Volkan's power to turn allies into undead.
5Corps Commander Crowley's failure to become undead.
From the appearance of the Bone Dragon to Lucia’s performance.
I listened carefully to what Charon said..
18Since this is the first hidden piece activated in my 10 years of gaming experience, each and every one is new..
‘fun!’
Before I became a person named Zero, I was a person who loved this game..
I couldn't help but enjoy listening to Charon's report..
In particular, I was amazed at the part where Lucia killed the dragon..
‘The Bone Dragon cannot be defeated without a Holy Power Potion. If so, then... … Is Lucia holding the holy sword??’
Charon revealed more information than I expected, but there was also quite a bit of information he hid from me..
The representative things that are hidden are Adonis' activities and the existence of the holy sword..
Charon said from the beginning that Douglas joined, not Adonis..
They say that for some reason, he was hiding by 'pretending to be dead' and helped him for a while..
Of course, it wasn't much of a problem for me because I knew that Douglas and Adonis were the same person..
“……That's how it happened.”
Charon announced the end of the report..
I couldn't help but quench my appetite with regret..
Because in the end, I failed to catch Volkan..
‘I had some expectations since it was just an inference from looking at the system window.…….’
In the end, I missed the ball, and I was in a position where I had to risk everything on this one chance..
‘A moment of thought occurred to me, ‘Should I have told you a little more information about Volkan in advance?’.
Soon my heart sank in..
‘How do I know about Volkan’s authority, power, and hidden mysteries? there's no way to explain it.’
Although I am only fifteen years old, I have an accurate understanding of Volkan's power and abilities.?
Nothing could make more sense than that..
Probably detain me as soon as I deal with Volkan.
In fact, they will start torturing you for being close to the Four Heavenly Kings..
Due to Charon's careful care(?), the continent may be tortured until it is destroyed..
Giving up the future to gain immediate benefits?
This is something you should never do as a person..
‘Above all, the Volkan I know is the Volkan of the future..’
What skills and levels does he have now, and how many of the six mysteries has he secured in the future?.
I didn't know anything.
‘I need to react first..’
Charon was looking at me intently..
I was only lost in thought for about 15 seconds, but the person in front of me was Charon..
I had to be careful, I had to be careful again..
“Undead… … Some troublesome guys have appeared..”
“If I see a guy like you, I'll be shocked..”
Maybe he didn’t like how calm he was? Charon grumbled..
But this one was also dissatisfied..
“Come to think of it, this is the second time..”
“What do you mean??”
“Creator of madness. Didn’t you miss it back then? But I missed it again this time. Aren’t you so incompetent??”
Puuk!
Charon stumbled. As if I had been pierced by an arrow.
“Well, now that I think about it, I didn’t explain the situation accurately. listen more.”
Charon began muttering to explain the situation at the time..
Well, it was none of my business..
Now it was more important to calculate new variables.
‘They succeeded in cutting off Volkan's left arm.…….’
It wasn't a bad harvest.
This game has a structure where if one part of the body is missing, the stats drop drastically..
If it's just one arm, you'll lose about 10-15% of your overall stats..
It's a very high figure..
It was a big loss for an ordinary character, but it had a special meaning for Volkan. because…….
‘Volkan has the characteristic of increasing the total amount of mana every day..’
Volkan can handle tens of thousands of undead by himself, literally showing off the might of a one-man army..
Destroying the undead that keep appearing and reducing Volkan's magic power to less than half is the key to the strategy and a prerequisite that must be achieved..
‘The problem is that it's not easy.’
In addition to its incredible characteristics, the Volkan of the future is armed with various artifacts and mysteries..
Even if I destroyed the undead, my magic power was not reduced..
If the attack was delayed, there would actually be time to recover..
It feels like digging into the sea with a shovel.?
‘But the size of the sea has decreased by 10-15%? What a harvest..’
It's a shame that we couldn't kill Volkan, but Charon must have tried his best..
What can I do? Embracing an ugly person is also the duty of a true person..
I spoke to Charon, who was still muttering..
“Hehe, I see. I heard it very well. You are very capable. As expected, you are teacher Caron..”
“…….”
Taaak!
What came back was Charon’s bitter honey balm..
Even if I praise you, you still hit me. He is a really strange person.
No, maybe he's a pervert who gets pleasure from hitting children.?
He might be a very bad pervert who just hits a cute kid.!
Don't you hit Luna? Of course it is. Rather than Luna…….
‘Because I'm cuter.’
Taaak!
At that moment, Charon's fist hit my head again..
“Hehe, why are you hitting me again? I didn't say anything.”
“……The fist just moved as it pleased. Did you do this??”
“That can't be possible, right? Anyone can see that it seems like it was done according to Teacher Caron's will..”
“Then we can say so..”
“……?”
Are you saying you have no intention of apologizing??
Is it because he is a child assaulter? The thoughts are also unique..
Anyway, the joke ends here..
I calmly started organizing..
Volkan's stats have dropped significantly, and it is a great achievement to announce the existence of the Four Heavenly Kings on the continent..
And the loss is.
“How many people died?”
“……It's five.”
Charon told them their names one by one..
There was no secret. Because soon the empire will announce their deaths..
‘Edwin was included in the punitive force. I guess I'll have to give up on the mysteries of the East.’
I erased the hidden pieces related to him from my mind..
Although it is a quest that starts from the beginning with Edwin's wide network, it is a quest that requires Edwin to personally guide the way..
This is impossible since Edwin is dead..
I also organized episodes related to him in my head..
So did the other four people..
‘The good news is... … Except for Edwin, the rest have a small appearance..’
I didn't think there would be any significant changes to the story..
In addition, we talked about various things and organized information..
As a result, the first thing we need to find out now is…….
“It is certain that the Four Heavenly Kings exist..”
“Hehe, I agree..”
Lucius Black, Creator of Madness.
??? Riesevelt.
Maestro Volkan of Battle.
Once the existence of three people was confirmed, it was an established fact that another one existed..
To begin with, they were also called the Four Heavenly Kings among black magicians..
“The woman whose identity is unknown, Lizvelt, is also a problem, but the one remaining of the Four Heavenly Kings... … Finding out his identity is an urgent priority..”
Charon was in trouble. Probably because he doesn't have any information about him..
Of course, I knew his identity perfectly, but.
‘Rhett King, Brocken.’
He is the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings, and a being that even I would not want to encounter..
Elester, Charon, Lucia, Adonis, and no one else..
‘'Cause you can never beat that guy.’
1:1A being that Law can never defeat. That is a man named Brocken, and the last of the Four Heavenly Kings called ‘Rett King’..
‘Come to think of it…….’
I couldn't help but frown slightly..
Because I realized that the story had changed..
In addition to cutting off one of Volkan's arms, the existence of the Four Heavenly Kings was made public too quickly..
‘Brocken is a character who goes around assassinating powerful people one by one..’
Adonis is also one of the characters who gets killed by him..
Brocken becomes aware of Adonis' existence, and Adonis dies after chapter 4..
‘However, at the beginning of Chapter 2, Adonis showed off his skills in the fight with Volkan..’
Of course Volkan would have gone to Brocken and told him..
Not only will Brocken put the name Adonis on the kill list, it is highly likely that he will become more active in the future..
Because the information about the existence of the Four Heavenly Kings, which had been kept secret, has been released to the world..
‘if… … What if an unfortunate event occurs where Adonis dies before chapter 4??’
There is nothing bigger than that..
We had to take action right now..
I quickly turned my head.
“……Magic. It is also highly likely that it is a being with powerful killing abilities..”
“The reason is?”
“This is because it must be differentiated from the power possessed by the other Four Heavenly Kings..”
The power given by the Legion Commander to the warlocks.
It can't all be the same. Because the devil is a group of people who pursue ‘fun’.
It would not have given uniform power..
“I'm not sure, but Lucius Black studies demons and has a strong body. It's most likely a power related to it..”
“……I also agree. Because a devil is not something that can be handled by being attached to a body. He must have a strong body.”
“There is a 60% chance that Risvelt is an ability related to demon breeding, beguiling, or contracting..”
“You're talking about Vines. Certainly, demons that faithfully carry out human orders are rare. The same goes for the expression ‘mother’..”
“Volkan would be the power related to bones and the power to control the soul..”
“yes. So, what remains of the dark wizard's powers that have been revealed so far?…….”
Curse, summoning, binding, charm, etc..
“Among them, the magic world has a high killing ability. I thought there was a high possibility that it was a being with that kind of power..”
“It's accurate.”
“But it could also be other forces. Because Volkan's power was of a type never seen before..”
“I don't know either. It could be a being that can handle all of that, literally the ‘essence of black magic’..”
Charon was lost in thought for a moment..
It was about a minute later that his mouth opened again..
“It's not a logical inference..”
“Hehehe, that’s right. But you always need to assume the worst. There is also some evidence.”
“There is evidence?”
“Weren't there recent incidents of powerful people suddenly dying in other kingdoms??”
Charon's eyes lit up..
Honestly, this was a gamble I took with confidence in Charon and the rats' ability to gather information..
‘You have also been steadily securing information on other kingdoms. After all, it’s a litter rat..’
There were two reasons why Charon's eyes lit up..
That such an incident actually occurred. and.
“Hehe, are you excited? I even know that information?”
I have the information that they had a hard time finding..
So it was natural for Charon to be surprised..
But it's still too early to be surprised.
“There have been several people who have died suddenly in the Empire recently..”
“There were always numbers like that. Because that's what illness is like.”
“How about including the number of missing people??”
“……missing person?”
“6A person with more than a surname. There may be people who have suddenly disappeared, or who have left their families for training, and whose locations cannot be traced. Oh, I guess those people weren't even classified as missing. How many people are there if you add them all together??”
Charon said nothing..
It's probably because I don't have the relevant information in my head..
“……just wait a moment.”
Charon disappeared out the window.
Well, maybe I won't sleep tonight.
