Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 30
Episode 30
30fury. The Clown, the Hero, and the Parrot(12)
“Oh, it was like that! There was no need to act this out..”
“That's right. He said that when you get here, you should follow the devil's side. how can i help?”
Crackling.
The sound of Luna grinding her teeth could be heard up to here. She also distanced herself from me..
“Well, that can’t be possible! Zero can't do that.!”
Even in this situation, Raimon stayed by my side..
Anyway, I don't know why he's so loyal..
I didn't do anything.
“Tsk tsk, it's simple. All you have to do is help me put down roots here..”
“Wasn't it possible to do it alone? It's an early type of erosion, but I think it's possible..”
“Mmm! Because I had an accident before I fell asleep. A holy sword... … I couldn't even imagine it. So I've lost most of my strength.”
“A holy sword. where is that?”
“I don't know either. I was there before I fell asleep…….”
A piece of the devil moved his only eye.
Everyone's eyes turned there.
There were human bones and clothes. And there were traces of a broken sword.
“friend! friend!”
The parrot let out a sound that was close to a scream..
There was no need to hide it anymore. It's a trace of Lutus..
He died after a fierce battle with the devil's faction..
That was part of the story created in the game.
“Wow, that looks good. Well, I also took a lot of damage and had no choice but to take a break... … It doesn't matter now. Because you came.”
“How much strength has been recovered??”
“20% Is it to that extent? The only abilities that can be used are Erosion and Thorn Tentacles. Damn, how did I end up like this?…….”
Black tentacles wriggled around the devil's piece..
A tentacle with a sharp tip like an awl. That was his method of attack..
“Oh my, can't you move??”
“That's right. The power of erosion is not what it used to be. I don't think we can take up the space all at once. If it weren't for you, it would have been a really big problem..”
“Hmm, didn't he have any other orders? Future plans or…….”
“hmm? The plan was to create a clone after completing me. At first glance, I heard that another plan was in progress in the pure white plains in the north of the empire... … wait for a sec.”
The devil's piece moved its eyes once..
He seemed to be thinking about something..
“But why are you asking this? You probably have a lot more information than I did while I was still asleep..”
Oh, that?
because…….
“Hehe, because I am your enemy..”
“……!!”
His pupils dilated..
So much so that we could all sense that he was surprised..
“Oh my, my my! He seems like a wicked human being.!”
“Hehe, that's stupid. Indeed, it is devilish. It deserves to be called a race that can't lie better than humans..”
“What is this arrogant guy talking about? lies are from the devil!”
“Yes, please come out next devil. It's no fun playing with losers…….”
“This guy……!”
The egg vibrated violently..
I was shaking so clearly that I was really angry..
It was time to watch it tremble..
Luna stood next to me again and said.
“good job. I believed it from the beginning.”
“……Didn't you brush your teeth earlier??”
“Ahaha… … W, it’s acting, acting! There's no way I would betray my friend, right? how was my acting?”
If it was acting, he could have made it big as an actor..
Next was Rodelin..
“Mr. Zero, please answer me one thing..”
“Tell me.”
“How do you know that this guy is a part of the devil??”
Did I say that??
It's a mistake. But the excuses were plentiful..
“That's what it said on the door.”
“……It's a door?”
“yes.”
It's not a joke, it's really written that way.
They say they will be sealed here for a while to give the devil's pieces time to recover..
‘50It says not to wake him up for one year, but it would be counterproductive to say he could read that..’
Demon archeology is not as advanced a discipline as you might think..
Even if I tried to research even a little, they said I was a warlock and burned me at the stake..
A discipline whose necessity has emerged only recently.
So it’s right to be sparing with words..
“Damn you human! I'll kill you all!!”
A black aura exploded from where the devil's fragment was..
The roar that announces the start of battle.
At the same time, a blue window appeared before my eyes..
[Hidden Quest]
-Defeat the Devil's Favor.
Reward: 300 exp, 30 gold
Penalty: Death
There are also hidden quests in this game..
Because it is an old game that initially revolves around quests and conversations..
At this level, the rewards are generous for Episode 1. But I didn't feel good.
‘Is this already a death penalty? There seems to be a big difference in level..’
The fact that the penalty is death means that there is no situation in which a more severe penalty can be given..
What would be the point of giving a stat reduction or other penalties after death? After death anyway.
In other words, the difficulty level was too high to clear with my current specs, and it also meant that it was close to a bad ending..
Can I say this as a friendly reminder to be especially careful when playing?.
‘information window.’
[Devil's Piece: S]
Lv : 39
strength : 58
Agility : 39
Intellect : 18
health : 350
horsepower : 250
Alignment: Evil
A work created through someone's research. It appears to have been made by someone with considerable skill..
It gradually encroaches on its surroundings and destroys everything..
He has great malice toward humans..
Currently, many abilities have decreased due to the influence of the Holy Sword..
Possessed skills: [Space Control S], [Erosion B], [Magic Art B], [Corrosion D]
“I will kill you all!!”
Phuwak!
A jet-black thorn was shot towards me..
If you get hit by that, you'll die like that guy said..
'Cause my level is only 12.
but.
‘My kids are a bit strong..’
Kagang! visor!
Rodelin and Luna broke the thorns heading towards me..
Although Luna is of a low level, she is a child with specs equivalent to that of a leading lady..
Since you caught the hidden slime with me, your level will be higher than usual..
‘Because it is an attack-specialized character, its attack power is strong..’
This means that although defense and stamina may be lacking, attack power is abundant..
Moreover, the devil's piece is weak compared to its specifications due to the influence of the holy sword..
So it wasn't strange that Luna broke the thorns in one go..
“flip the land!”
“A glimpse!”
Took bang!
Kagagak!
A sword strike that turns the ground upside down and flashes of light..
A stream of blood flowed from the body of the devil's piece..
There is damage, but it is minimal..
Because the devil's part defended itself with thorns..
“Pfft!”
“Ugh!”
At the same time, Rodelin and Luna took a step back..
That's not all. Arms and legs turned pale purple.
This is because of the [Space Control] and [Erosion] skills of the Devil's Faction..
‘Erosion has a low skill level, but the damage is stronger due to the space control skill..’
To be precise, the efficiency of stats and skills increases in the area declared as your own space..
The land currently stained dark red is a space where [space control] has been successfully achieved..
And gradually that space will increase..
‘In the game, if you take erosion damage three times in a row, you die instantly..’
three times in a row.
In other words, if it goes out of range, it will be reset..
Therefore, the stagnant people took turns distributing and attacking the three characters..
‘Of course, a minimum level of stamina is also required..’
Even when it is eroded, it also suffers damage..
Rodelin and Luna took a step back again..
Dangerous.
Rodelin will be fine, but Luna's blood will be spared..
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! I will kill you all!”
“Miss Luna, step aside. I'll deal with it alone.”
“shit……!”
But it's time for Rodelin to step down too..
It's been eroded twice now..
As if to prove it, the erosion had reached the neck..
“Everyone please come here.”
“Zero, the area of erosion is getting wider. If time is delayed…….”
“There is a way. Come here so I can explain..”
Luna immediately stepped back, Rodelin thought for a moment and then came to my side..
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… … Human bastards. Yes, it's no use. This body…….”
“Please be quiet. Can't you see we're in a meeting??”
“Insolent human bastard! I will kill you right now!”
“I know it's out of range. I don't have any legs so I can't move.”
“…….”
Okay!
We pulled out the thorn, but it got stuck 20 meters away from where we were..
The Devil's Piece said, 'Hmm, I woke up after a long time and my joints are not the same as usual. He said, 'I need to stretch,' and stuck thorns around himself..
I guess he was embarrassed too.
We agreed to understand the situation as it was our own situation..
“How is your physical condition??”
“Actually, it's a bit dangerous... … hmm?”
Rodelin moved her body..
Soon after, the purple-stained skin returned to its original state..
“It appears to be different from the one on the frontier, perhaps because it is an early form of erosion..”
“Right. It eats away at your body quickly, but it seems to have poor staying power..”
“Hehe, premature ejaculation. It's a pity.”
Rodelin's face turned red..
I'm not immune to really dirty things..
‘It's not that I ejaculated prematurely, I'm just tired after waking up for the first time in a while. Ah, I'm just talking to myself, but just know for now.' I heard a muttering from somewhere..
Is even the devil sensitive to things like this??
“Let me explain the strategy. If you get attacked twice, just back away. You must wait outside the eroded area until it has fully recovered..”
“I understand. But the attack is the problem.”
“I will remove the eroded land. So please protect me until then..”
“……Does this mean that the eroded land will be removed? That's impossible.”
Rodelin was the first person on the frontier where erosion began..
So you probably know it well. Erosion is impossible to remove.
Since it can only be removed with enormous divine power, we can say that what Rodelin said is correct..
but.
“That can't be said to be complete erosion. It's an early type. So you can remove it.”
“……That's right. So how do you remove it??”
I raised my right hand with a grin..
There was my weapon in my hand..
Very big and beautiful... … The mop.
“……No way, no.”
Rodelin’s expression turned bitterly cold..
But it's true.
“Let me clean it for you. that dirty land.”
An unlucky skill obtained by paying 100 potential points..
[With the power of [Cleaning S].

Parrot's Diary#4
“friend!”
The ground suddenly collapsed. It flew towards the falling Lutus..
I was falling much faster than my speed..
‘Damn, damn, damn!’
flutter!
“Wow!”
Lutus screamed..
Fortunately, he didn't die. Because there were plants piled up in layers..
“friend!”
“Ugh… … I'm okay. Anyway, what is this place??”
plants turned black.
The whole place is full of dead plants..
The atmosphere was also somewhat gloomy..
“huh? That is…….”
The earth dyed dark red. There was a black egg in the center..
“What kind of guy are you??”
A huge eye protruded from the black egg..
At the same time, a black aura overtook us..
Dying like this…….
Hwaak-!
It was when I thought I was dead. Light emanated from the sword Luthus was holding..
“holy sword……!”
“Wow!!”
The black egg let out a painful scream..
At the same time, hundreds of thorns were shot towards us..
‘Is that the devil?……!’
Boom-!
Phuwak!!
The divine light emitted as Luthus swings his sword..
Hundreds of thorns melted and fell away.
There was nothing more to say. The battle has begun.
Kagagak!
“damn!”
Luthus was unreachable. He just wants to stop the attack.
Even though I am a parrot, I have seen a lot of sparring..
There is no chance of winning. At this rate, we lose..
Did you realize that? Luthers said to me.
“Bring someone. Until then, I will hold on.”
Can not be done. That can't be possible..
I can't leave you, my friend, behind. We can just run away together, you idiot.!
Did he sense my feelings?.
Lutus said with a bright smile..
“Because I don’t want children to get hurt..”
“…….”
“You're definitely going to bring someone. I can trust you because you are my friend. It's a team play, remember?”
team play.
right. we can win.
We can't win alone, but we can win.
I'll be back soon. therefore.
Just hold on a little longer, my friend..
flew faster than anyone else.
The floor was back to its original state, but there was a gap created when the holy sword was pulled out, so we were able to get out..
I shouted as I jumped to the ground..
“devil! Help me! devil!”
help! The devil has appeared!
“friend! Save it!”
Please save my only friend.
please.
