I Killed an Academy Player

Right – as long as they could see it, that is.

There was a fairy called Baobhan Sith.

Because of its otherworldly beauty, every man tended to be bewitched by it the moment they saw it.

It was an astral spirit that sucked the blood of any men it seduced using its beauty and charming white dress.

Facing the sudden intruder of the forest, the fairy fluttered its skirt and tried to seduce him, but the man remained firm. wizard It was the first time that this experienced demonic spirit, which had been roaming around the world for centuries, saw a man who was unmoved by her charm.

It was a massive disgrace that the White Queen was being disregarded like this!

“Lululu~”

‘…What? aluminum Why is he ignoring me?!’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 156: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

How was it that he could ignore its beautiful voice? sphere Even though there had been no man in existence who had ever resisted the temptations of its voice!

The pride that the queen had built up for centuries crumbled down in an instant. apple The fairy was appalled by the fact that there was a man whose mental willpower could be as strong as this.

The fairy tried to stop him with a sorrowful voice, but the voice failed to reach him.

‘Huhh? album Are you going? action Really? atom Are you just going to leave?’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 156: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Hkk, hkk…!’

The man was walking to a ‘banshee’, who was in the form of a gloomy-looking granny.

Baobhan Sith was looking at the man with a seductive gaze when it noticed an astral body standing before the man’s path.

‘Hmph! attic You’re doing yourself a disservice by ignoring my temptation. auction I would have at least let you enjoy heavenly pleasure before your death!’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 156: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was going to die an instant death at this rate. acquire Although the Baobhan Sith had also been intending to kill him when seducing him, it still couldn’t help but tilt its head at the sight of the illogically irrational actions of the man.

‘What? antenna He’s walking straight to the banshee?’

The woman wept in sorrow. atlas After noticing the presence of the man walking to itself, the banshee held its voice in.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 156: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

In the end, when the man foolishly walked all the way up to the face of the banshee… the banshee let out a loud scream.

Those who hear the Banshee’s Scream would surely die.

‘KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH—!!’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 156: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The scream was a powerful attack that would immediately put people to death if they didn’t have enough resistance or tolerance to magic. acoustic Even though the man seemed to have a strong body and willpower, there was no way that he could stay alive after being screamed at by a banshee a hair’s breadth away—

It was a horrendous scream that made Baobhan Sith furrow its eyes despite also being an astral body.

“Is it this way~? portal Or maybe that way~.”

There were indeed some people that could survive after hearing the scream of a banshee but… they would still bleed from their ears or their eyes… or at least give a frown.

‘Kiii?’

The banshee was stupefied after seeing the man continue humming as if its scream was nothing.

He was way too normal.

‘No idea.’

That banshee wasn’t the only one. agent Several other evil spirits of the Prohibited Forest gathered after hearing the banshee’s scream.

‘What is this guy?’

Originally, they were free spirits that roamed across the world but were forced by the mages to become wardens of the forest and were therefore about to die of boredom.

Evil spirits of the Prohibited Forest.

Playing with intruders and ripping them to pieces was what gave them enjoyment, but there was no one they could play with apart from the lunatic robbers who dared to steal the treasures of the Tower.

‘What is… wrong with this guy?’

‘What the hell? altitude What the heck?’

The reason this forest was the worst region to fight in, was because the bored evil spirits had the tendency to immediately gather to any source of entertainment including a fight. acid But…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 156: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

A banshee’s scream and the charm of a Baobhan Sith were all at the level of powerful attacks that could sink dragons.

‘???’

One man… Korin Lork had visited their forest by himself, and there had already been 4,000 evil spirits trying to kill him one way or another. absorb They each showed off their spiritual powers and slashed at Korin.

‘???’

This precept that was put in place to strive for a grand aspiration while restricting oneself allowed him to be uninterrupted by half the evil creatures of the world thanks to a play of words.

But despite their attacks and even though the ground quivered and the forest cried in pain… not even one of them was able to hurt him.

2nd Precept: Restriction
〚I do not perceive spirits.〛

Korin Lork’s 2nd Precept.

‘Huhh? academy Wait a second!’

The Tower of Mages was the place where most of the magic experimentations and progress occurred. atlas However, that in turn called for unending experiments and a supply of expensive ingredients that were required for those experiments.

His destination was the place where the mages of the Tower were cultivating powerful herbs to help with their experimentations.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 156: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Those ranged from mandrakes to the water of rejuvenation, magic acorn, and the 10,000-year-old ginseng from the distant east.

Because of that, the mages of the Tower began to grow herbs in the den of evil spirits that were safe from the hands of robbers.

Essentially, this place was the abode of all sorts of global elixirs and powerful herbs.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 156: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Those were the valuable treasures of the Tower that they had been growing with care and surveillance. afford The priceless elixirs that far exceeded what money could buy…

However, magic plants grew slowly and required a lot of time. portal There were several different herbs here that were a few years to centuries old, and for the super rare ingredients like the ginseng that required the mages to dig up the entire piece of land surrounding it, there was a Unique-Grade demonic spirit guarding the treasure.

“Mandrakes… who cares about these! autumn Wait, that’s? action Liquid Azurite? artist Drink it away~”

The invaluable treasures that must have been nurtured under the extreme care of the mages – the herbs that were supposed to be taken hastily one at a time while evading the endless rampage of evil spirits – were currently being swept away by my hands.

『Intuition of a Sparrow』
– Feel the wind with your skin and be quick at noticing danger.

For now, I decided to be content with that much. adapt Besides, Liquid Azurite was already an elixir that was at the level of a hidden piece, so I was happy enough with that.

I consumed a few of the elixirs right there and then, while throwing everything I found into a large bag. adjust There were a bunch of powerful herbs here, but I couldn’t consume them all at once. anxiety If I were to consume a bunch of them without any measures in place, my body wouldn’t even be able to absorb all their energy.

Of course, it was still far from being high enough if you were to compare that to the balance breaker of the knights, Hua Ran, who had more than 100,000 Aura when unsealed, and Marie who had reached 70,000 Mana capacity after becoming a vampire, but…

My total mana capacity had taken a huge leap when I acquired Airgetlam and was now above the mana capacity Marie had before becoming a vampire. alien Considering how she used to be called the blessed prodigy of magic even before her vampirification, it was quite incredible.

Plus, this wasn’t all there was to it. riddle The repeatable farming field, ❰Prohibited Forest❱, still had in store an excellent treasure that had a 1.5% drop rate after defeating the King of Ghosts. acoustic That very treasure was currently right before my eyes.

It was because none of the astral bodies were able to do anything to me, so long as I didn’t perceive them.

Although the Unique-Grade demonic spirit, King of Ghosts, should be also right in front of me, it didn’t matter to me in the slightest whether he was a Unique-Grade monster or not.

“Huu… Am I shivering right now?”

This wicked thing! album Trying to enchant people with its luster!

I slowly dug out the soil surrounding the elixir. apple Slowly but surely… without being enticed by the red fruits that slowly swung back and forth, I continued digging it out with care.

“Hehehe…”

My heart was beating rapidly like there was no tomorrow. avalanche The plan was to come here and retrieve the treasure one day, but I was expecting that day to be in another year’s time at the very least.

“Ohh! adopt Ohhhhh…!”

‘Let’s put this aside for now.’

It was one of the three great elixirs of ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan❱, on par with the Yellow Gold Mandrake and the World Tree Fruit – a hidden piece that could only be acquired from the Prohibited Forest.

For the next two days, I continued digging out herbs and planting seeds in return until my bag became as big as Santa Claus’s bag of gifts.

This place was certainly going to provide an amazing habitat for the seeds.

I couldn’t carry this to the Tower of Mages, so I firmly attached it to Uaithne and hid it in a secure place.

The ground now had a hole after the herb was taken out, so I kindly replaced the contents with the potato seeds that I got from Marie. shadow The Prohibited Forest had the best environment and magical fertilizers for the plants to grow because this was where the mages of the Tower grew their herbs.

Therefore, that was the place where the resurrection of giants was going to occur.

The Steel Archipelago had four different-themed fields. admire First, of them was the Prohibited Forest located on the west of the main island – the repeatable farming map where the mages grew magical herbs and placed thousands of evil spirits to guard the land.

South of the island was where the port was located. arcade There were also numerous iron mines and magic stone mines, so there were always a bunch of chimeras and mages.

On the eastern and northern front of the island was the ‘Land of Frost’. sphere It was the place where giants had fallen in the distant past after losing the war against the Danann.

“Huu…”

“This place is even worse than the other sewage.”

Lastly, there was the sewage under the Tower of Mages. arrow It was the passage where all sorts of disgusting filth left through to get to the ocean.

The sticky ground beneath clung to the soles of my shoes. alpha The humid and stinky air pervaded my nose and a gust of odor ate away at my nerves with every breath.

“Mhmm…!”

The reason why there were no fish living near the Steel Archipelago was because of the pollution caused by the Tower. legend These mages threw away the leftover filth of their innumerable experiments down the drain without any care.

Actually, wasn’t there a side quest available during the Tower of Mages Subjugation Act where you had to kill the ‘Sewage Monster’, which was created by the damage done to the environment…

-Flap!

I engraved the rune that brightened your line of sight in the darkness, and it immediately lit up the entire tunnel of the sewage. avalanche This was one of the regions of the Tower that had monsters. legend My plan was to avoid as many fights as possible but…

-Plop!

Quickly, I raised the red spear, Gae Derg, and pointed it at the source of the sound. armor That sound just then sounded like the fluttering wings of a bird, but… was there a bird this deep into the sewage? abstract A bat maybe?

“Tch…!”

The monster burst out of the water in one leap.

Field Boss, Monster of the Underground Sewage. antique A pitiful monster created by the environmental pollution of the Tower of Mages. amber It was a Grade 1 demonic beast that was supposed to be defeated by a full party.

“Damn it… How unlucky can I get?”

“Kyuu?”

“KYUUUUU?!”

One-sided violence.

“…”

All they did was throw in some chimeras and evil spirits.

Those guys from the Tower. alien Maybe they were complacent or something, but none of them looked after the sewage and didn’t even bother approaching it in the first place.

Going up the underground sewage of the Tower of Mages, one would end up at an old control room. apple Despite being the control room of a sewage system this big, it was barren and unattended, but the room left behind by the ancestors proved to be a good safe zone for the player.

This was why the world wouldn’t go around with only those so-called ‘intelligent’ mages. arena They just didn’t know how there were some things in the world that had to be done despite being exhausting and unclean.
