I Killed an Academy Player

Female warriors of the God King possessing eternal beauty and youth. alert They were top commanders of warriors, who each had the right to open one of the 540 gates to Valhalla.

Each of them were carrying a unique shield and a spear, and wearing feathered ornaments. echo Korin immediately realized these were the great warriors of the gods, the Valkyries.

A dozen or so female warriors appeared to stand between Korin and the heated crowd.

“So…”

One of them walked forth from the line of Valkyries. academy The giant woman as tall as 2.5 meters carrying an enormous warhammer that could crush a mammoth’s skull to smithereens was none other than Thrud of Strength.

Since there were 17 of them in total, it meant that they could open 17 gates.

She was the daughter of Thor, the God of Lightning, and the strongest of valkyries.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Korin knew how strong she was. harbor Thrud was one of the few who could swing the hammer left behind by Thor, the God of Lightning, but he remained composed.

Her voice turned the surrounding air into layers of steel that came crashing down at everyone nearby.

“Is it you who dares to see Brunhild?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“How insolent for a mere mortal. apron If you wish to see her, you must defeat me first as well as my sisters. armor Only then will you be able to witness the leader of the shield maidens, the keeper of the final divinity ever since the fall of gods.”

“Yeah. orbit For a negotiation between the leaders of the two factions.”

“Isn’t it more of a curse from the God King than divinity?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You dare…!”

“I will challenge Brunhild’s ‘Wall of Flame’.”

He watched on with a confident smile as their faces crumpled in real time.

“…!!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

As a consequence for disobeying the God King in the past, she had to be walled off by a ring of inextinguishable flames and put to eternal sleep.

****

One had to pass through the wall of flame and take off her byrnie to lift the curse but… the issue was that the King of Gods, who had cast that very curse, had been devoured by the Wolf of Apocalypse.

Brunhild, the leader of Valkyries, had a curse cast upon her for a long time.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

[Only the one who passes the wall of flame and takes off Brunhild’s vest of mail shall lift her curse.]

With the death of the King of Gods, the curse cast upon Brunhild had also been lifted albeit by only half.

When the gods fell, Brunhild woke up from her sleep but the curse of flames was still there.

The fall of gods.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Because of that prophecy, countless citizens had attempted to lift her curse by challenging the divine flames. agent The half-giant wearing the hide of a great bear, the sorcerer widely revered as the wisest, as well as the great warrior who won the most number of battles… They tried but none of them were able to cross the divine flames protecting the byrnie.

“So… Did you want to challenge the ‘Wall of Flame’?”

There was no-one left who wished to challenge it anymore, at least until this man showed up.

Brunhild, the leader of Valkyries, who was now a symbol of eternal chastity due to the god’s curse, asked the man in front of him.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The silver beauty nodded with a vacant gaze in spite of that arrogant question.

“But that will be only possible if you pass the flames of the King of Gods.”

That was when all of a sudden, flames started to soar up with Brunhild at the center.

“Will you become mine if I pass the wall?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The surging pillar of flames melted both the falling snow above and the fallen snow on the ground.

– KWAAAAAAAAAA!

It was the leftover curse of the god – flames which scorched every man that touched it. orbit The flames appeared so divine, that even non-believers, who would normally refuse to believe such things were possible in real life, wouldn’t be able to refute the divinity of it.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘No warrior was able to withstand those flames.’

The leftover trace of gods was now nothing but a source of grief for the sisters watching from the side. voyage Among the sisters who walked a different path to Brunhild, some had made their decisions due to that very curse of the God King.

‘No hero could overcome it.’

No-one could pass it; no-one could jump over it alive; and no-one could overcome it. echo That was the power of Odin’s curse.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Flames of a god, huh.”

Korin took a step towards the flames that no-one dared to overcome.

All of the valkyries hated that curse which they couldn’t resolve no matter what they did.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

They could tell that Korin Lork was indeed a courageous warrior. arctic However, there were few in the past 1,000 years that were on a comparable level.

“No-one has been able to pass it for over a millennium!”

“You fool… You’re killing yourself.”

Countless warriors challenged those flames to obtain the leader of Valkyries for themselves.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was how intense and strong of a curse it was, that the God King had cast for the disobeying shield maiden.

However, none of them was able to overcome it.

“Flames like this can’t burn me.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“This can’t be!”

“What…?!”

But Korin strided into the wall of flame without a sliver of hesitation. afford Everyone watching thought he would scream out in pain and be reduced to ashes but the result was the exact opposite.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

While the crowd was baffled by him crossing the uncrossable barrier of flame that no man had been able to overcome, Korin stood face to face with Brunhild. canvas Taking off the glittering byrnie of the beautiful silver-haired valkyrie was his rightful privilege, but he didn’t.

Even the divine flames weren’t an exception from the absolute ability of Claiomh Solais – full resistance to heat and flames.

The barbarians were appalled by the sight. acid Korin Lork had walked beyond the wall of flame.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He did not wield his rightful privilege. timber Despite overcoming the god’s curse, he made an offer instead of desiring the result.

“I have an offer to make.”

“Can you please follow what I say for some time? aspect I will save you guys in return as well.”

“…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

That was supposed to be the right and privilege of the hero.

“Why are you not simply taking off my armor as permitted by the King of Gods, and commanding me as you wish?”

Although she was a valkyrie and a great warrior of the god, because the God King had prophesied that he would hand the leader of valkyries over to the great hero, she had no choice and had to follow the prophecy.

Brunhild couldn’t understand the man in front of her, nor the reason behind the offer.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He refused to do so with a smile.

“That’s too old-fashioned,” jested Korin. autumn “That only happens in old mythologies and fairy tales. antique If you kiss a sleeping beauty these days, you’ll be arrested.”

“A win-win for us.”

“What is it that you are after?” she asked.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you… aware of what’s happening in the Northern Kingdom?”

Instead, he showed his respect for Brunhild and raised a fair offer.

“We will accept the northerners into the walls, but they too must participate in the war.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was that the ‘spearman’, who would change the destiny of the valkyries, prophesied by Skuld the prophet could have been about this man, Korin Lork.

Brunhild turned to the spear in Korin’s hand, and came to a realization.

“…”

“There’s probably an uninvited guest called Valtazar that’s doing crazy stuff here and there. agent That man happens to be my martial brother, you see. autumn His puberty has hit quite hard.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Why?”

“Would you please lend us a hand?” he asked.

“Sorry?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

She was asking him why they were offering their help.

“Hmm… it’s not because of something grandiose but…”

“For a long time, you have called our free citizens ‘barbarians’ and have disdained them and ostracized them. avalanche And the free citizens had been plundering your kingdom for a long time.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

And in response to such a question, there was only one kind of answer he could return.

“It’s best if there are as few casualties as possible. absorb Human lives are the most expensive, after all.”

A happy ending.

He had only been hoping for one thing this whole time, and one thing alone.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The treaty was signed in a breeze.

****

As compensation for accepting the 230,000 free citizens of the Northern Kingdom into the south, the able warriors had to cooperate with defending the walls.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Some of the barbarians themselves refused to follow because they couldn’t trust us; the guards and the soldiers, as well as the guardians that came here under my lead were all concerned about the idea.

Although they didn’t explicitly say anything rude, they looked at me like I was a madman.

But soon, the northerners were persuaded by their psychological leaders, the valkyries, and I persuaded everyone in the city as one of the few nobles present.

Of course, there were quite a few people that were against it.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“If something goes wrong, we will take responsibility for it.”

None of us were people that would be immediately stabbed for bringing the barbarians into this side of the wall.

We weren’t some random people either.

We had Lady Josephine who was a hero written in the history books, the successor of the Dunareff Dukedom, a successor candidate of the Arden Household as well as utmost support from Saintess Estelle.

“What do you mean?”

“Will this be okay?” galaxy Brunhild asked.

“This is close to a political suicide. zenith It went through for now because there is no-one here that is higher than you, but it will become a problem in the future.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

There were too many things to consider in real life.

Political issues, harmony, racism and other discriminations… in that sense, this world was no different from Earth.

The player was a superhuman; the protagonist and the center of the world. shadow But even so, it was impossible for the player to do anything he wanted by brute forcing everything.

“Well… if it turns out well, they will let it be.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Trying to live a virtuous life allowed me to get a lot of people willing to help me.”

“In any case, can you please allocate the valkyries equidistant along the walls? matrix They’re the only ones that can control the barbarians after all. meadow Let’s join forces and fight through this.”

Brunhild said while looking at my comrades who were settling the situation.

“…I can see that.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

— KWAAAANG!!

The wall we were standing on came crumbling down.

It was right as she was about to nod with a smile.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

****

I waved away the dust that filled the air due to the crumbling wall, and stood back up.

“Damn it…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

She looked around. athlete The soldiers and northerners who had fallen along with the wall were crying out in pain.

“Something like this can’t hurt me, but…”

“Brunhild? acoustic Are you okay?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I, I’m stuck! matrix Somebody help me!”

The knights and mages were able to protect themselves in the fall, but the rest were in miserable states.

I was wondering what destroyed the wall until my eyes found the very proof of an attack.

“M, my legs…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Who in the world threw this?’

It was a massive rock that looked like it was carved out from an entire mountain. ability That enormous rock had flown into the wall, destroying a portion of it.

First priority was to identify what was happening. riddle I jumped onto the adjacent wall that was still standing strong.

“…A rock?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Korin. afford Are you okay?”

Seeing that, Hua Ran walked up and asked with a worried tone.

“I’m fine,” I replied. advance “But there are a lot of people buried in debris. abandon Can you go help them?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Okay.”

“They’re here already.”

After sending her down, I turned towards the horizon.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

– KAAHK! arch KAAAAAK!

– GUWOOOOO!

It was a shocking spectacle even when I witnessed the 230,000 barbarians, but the scene in front of me couldn’t even be compared to that. galaxy Anyone seeing it could only think of one thing.

The end of the world.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hundreds of thousands… A stunning number that couldn’t even be counted were marching towards the walls.

The question still remained of who destroyed the wall, but… the answer to that was turning out to be quite obvious.

Monsters were covering both the sky and the ground. afford Footsteps were quivering the ground and their roars were becoming more audible despite the distance.

“T, titans…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Titans! legend There are titans!”

It didn’t make sense – the titan resurrection plan was supposed to have failed. anchor We destroyed the Tower of Magic and their knowledge shouldn’t have reached Valtazar.

Barely visible on the horizon were dozens of titans walking towards the wall with each carrying an enormous rock.

“How…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“T, they’re throwing the rocks!”

“Professor Josephine!”

“Run away!”

And yet here they were, and the titans all lifted their rocks at the same time. alpha If those landed on the wall all at once… the border city would be destroyed in the blink of an eye!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Thanks to the strongest dimensional witch, Josephine Clara, the rocks were all swallowed into the other dimension.

Leaving the hands of the titans, the rocks began flying towards the wall in a parabola. silence In response, Lady Josephine activated her spell – she calculated the angle of the parabola and opened up an alternate dimension at the exact location of their fall.

“Ohhh…!”

“Dimensional Witch!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The soldiers cheered, but this wasn’t the end.

Back in the original game, each of them were always as tanky as a mid-boss. academy We needed large-scale, deadly spells to wipe them all out at once, and fortunately, I had a skill that met the criteria.

‘We got rid of the rocks, but there could be more. avalanche Besides, it’s hard to stop the titans themselves just with the wall.’

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The power of Claiomh Solais to manifest the Sun was certainly the world’s biggest and deadliest ability in existence.

“Sun Manifestation.”

“Let’s start off by burning half of them down.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Right! agent With that, even the titans will…!”

And wipe out some of that never-ending wave of demonic beasts in the process as well.

“It’s Sir Korin’s Sun!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Look! voyage What is that!?”

Right when I was about to drop the manifested Sun towards the titans in response to that hope…

Their eyes were shining with expectation. adjust With every strand of hope they conveyed, the stronger I became through [Battlefront Flag Bearer].

The Sun, Claiomh Solais brightened up the sky and everything nearby. armor It also revealed a large ‘wolf’ that was leaping towards the Sun.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

One who devours the Sun, Skoll.

I naturally knew what that wolf was. abstract The Wolves of Apocalypse that were accepted by the golden wolves, Ren and Ron, in the final battle of the last iteration…

“Huh?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Kajik!

Claiomh Solais’ ability to manifest the Sun was—

One who devours the Moon, Hati.

In other words,

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Sun…”

“…It ate the Sun.”

— meaningless before them.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The unbelievable sight of the Sun being eaten was not the only problem. agent As soon as the Sun disappeared, a harsh and frosty wind replaced it and this wind… was clearly abnormal.

Beyond the horizon, something of an unbelievable size appeared behind the titans.

It was as sublime and grand as the snowy mountains itself.

“Don’t tell me…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

A giant on the same level as the Sky Titan that I met at the secret lands of druids to obtain Claiomh Solais—

“…Frost Giant.”

The Frost Giant, which was supposed to be waiting for the player at Nastrond, the world of corpses, was walking towards the walls instead.

The one behind this eternal winter – the one who hopes to destroy the world hand-in-hand with Tates Valtazar.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

I made plenty of preparations.

Because I was aware of the future, I made tweaks to it.

“…Hah.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 231: Barbarians (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

But it turned out that that ‘tweak’… didn’t always lead to a favorable outcome.
