Attack – Meteor Academy Retake (4)
‘This is true.’
It was ridiculously ridiculous.
Doppelgangers cannot be distinguished even [under Essence Investigation]. This is because the shadow itself is not made of mana. However, the movement of the shadow was magic, so the flow of mana was visible.
Choi Ye-chan knows that I can see this trend. So, this was a guide under the guise of an inducement. I don’t know what he’s trying to say…, so I’m sure I won’t waste my time.
I stopped in a hurry while chasing the flow of mana.
“What? Why stop?”
After signaling Hong Jae-yu to be quiet, he pointed to the other side of the road.
There is a scene where the corpses of giants gather and eat something. I knew what it was without having to check it.
There are many civilians working in restaurants and canteens around this area. He must have been someone who could not evacuate. The situation is so urgent that rescue cannot come to such a place.
“이런 씹새끼들이···.”
As Hong Jae-yoo hurried out, I stopped.
“… he’s already dead.”
“What, ma’am?”
“I know how you feel, but let’s pass quietly. I think it’s right to end this situation quickly. It’s not too late to collect the body then.”
“·······Whew.”
Hong Jae-yu took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. Although she is certainly hot-tempered, she doesn’t lose her temper and act.
‘···I wonder why this guy was not seen in the game.’
It was clear that it was coming out on a wider street than that. There were corpses running all over the place.
The sound of fighting is heard with the roar of something exploding from all directions. Fortunately, they were attracting attention, so they did not focus their attention on us.
‘After all, I have to finish everything by today.’
Even though only half a day has passed since the event, the damage to civilians is enormous. It’s inside the Yoosung Academy right now, but if they go all the way to the city center, I can’t afford it.
If the event drags on, there are random encounters where ‘heroes’ appear with a low probability to help, but the probability of such luck will of course be 0%.
As we continued chasing the shadows with [Exploring the Essence], the flow continued to the first-year high school building. The windows were already broken, and there were signs of a battle taking place. It was leading us through the broken door and into the basement.
As initially thought, the shadow guided me to the basement where the morgue was located. As I slowly descended the stairs, vigilant about the surroundings, the sound of footsteps echoed.
Soon, the foul smell of formalin rises and stings his nostrils. Perhaps a large-scale battle had taken place underground, and the walls dividing the rooms had collapsed and were exposed. I found something huge on one side left unattended.
A chimera with various bodies intertwined was laid out with a wrinkled body. It’s disgusting just looking at it. Dozens of pupils lost focus and were embedded in the deformed arms, legs, and skin. You can see the dented and empty holes in several places.
I covered my mouth and stepped back, and even Hong Jae-yu made a nauseous sound.
‘Did this chimera do this?’
At that moment, I heard the sound of someone walking on the edge of the basement.
“Is this your first time seeing this?”
Choi Ye-chan’s voice He was wearing a black robe as usual. He hides his face so he can’t see what he’s making. It was the appearance of the middle boss I knew.
“···Choi Ye-chan. I was going to visit you, but why did you have to guide us?”
“Ummm. You were once an instructor, but you’re talking nonsense.”
Choi Ye-chan continued speaking with a smirk.
“I was looking for you too, Seo Ji-han. I have something to ask you.”
“Request···?”
“Yes, please. Take Aiden out of the building. Astiel, I can’t get in because of that girl.”
“Huh, what if I refuse?”
“If you refuse, will I have no choice but to catch you and let you come out on your own?”
It’s ridiculous and I can’t even laugh.
“I’m sorry. Will Aiden come out like that?”
“then!”
What are you talking about so bluntly? Choi Ye-chan raised an unshaded lip and said.
“Your lady is very possessive. You seem to think you are hers…, can you see me hurting you?”
“…Hey, Seo Ji-han. How long are you going to listen to that bullshit? It’s a waste of time.”
Hong Jae-yu next to him said the right thing for the first time.
“That’s right. I sympathize.”
I suddenly picked up my gun and pulled the trigger in succession. As expected, Choi Ye-chan blocked the shadow by erecting it like a wall. The bullet could not penetrate it and exploded helplessly.
“–You’re fucking disgusting.”
At that moment, Jae-Yoo Hong appeared from behind Choi Ye-Chan using her personality. A straight blue sword was drawn in a diagonal line. 👌👌👌👌👌 But the cut was not the flesh. The black shadow was torn and scattered.
“Ah… I got it.”
Choi Ye-chan looked back calmly, not paying attention to her scattered body.
“That personality. It bothers me every time I see it.”
Then, the scattered shadows suddenly turned into wedges and were shot towards Hong Jae-yu.
It was too late to avoid. Hong Jae-yu once again used his personality to appear next to me.
The wedged shadows pierced the wall, melted again, and blended into Choi Ye-chan’s shadow. Eventually, the cut part was filled with shadows again.
Hong Jae-yu saw the scene and said in an absurd voice.
“… Seo Ji-han. Can you call that shadow magic?”
“no.”
In my opinion, it wasn’t just magic. It’s a mix of personality. Among the personalities, the one that matches the shadow magic…
“That’s the personality of ‘sculpting’.”
A personality that can transform matter into a desired shape. It was simply an ability, but because there was no limit, it was a personality that harmonized with shadow magic. It was an infinitely poor combination in the game.
Choi Ye-chan, who was still flirting, didn’t say anything. Hong Jae-yu asks quietly next to him.
“What is the shape?”
“It’s just literal. I think it’s a personality that can transform a shadow into any shape you want.”
“Ha! What, that’s all?”
Hong Jae-yu shouted loudly as if to listen.
It seemed that Choi Ye-chan even molded her own body in a shadow. It sounds like invincibility when you hear it, but it’s not. It’s not noticeable, but it must have been permanently damaged by Hong Jae-Yoo’s blow.
In the end, it meant that if you push it with firepower, you win.
“Hong Jae-yu. Let’s go like before.”
“for a moment.”
As Hong Jae-yu prepared the gun again, Choi Ye-chan raised his hand and said,
“You think 2-1 is too cowardly? We have to match our numbers.”
“… now let’s come and talk nonsense.”
“Come on, come out!”
At the sudden cry of Choi Ye-chan, something slowly walked out of the darkness behind him.
familiar face. It was the layer that showed up.
“······what?”
But he was not alive.
One of his arms had been torn from a fierce battle, and there were bruises and crush marks all over his body. And now he was being manipulated as a corpse.
Choi Ye-chan burst out laughing as she saw the staggering layer next to her.
“How do you feel about seeing the strongest human beings lose their lives? Ahaha!”
···With Choi Ye-chan’s ability, it is impossible to get a layer.
It was that Chimera that killed Layette. He said that a lot of heroes died, so it may be that Hector made it by using it.
…In an instant, one of the strongest and even Park Noah’s swordsmanship teacher disappeared.
“Come on. Then it’ll be two-to-two. Seo Ji-han, I’ll let you stick with me.”
Choi Ye-chan pointed to the darkness behind her and stepped back. It meant follow me there.
“What are you doing? Follow me quickly.”
After that, I looked at Layate and asked Hong Jae-yu.
“Are you okay…?”
“But you can’t take on you who are weaker than me? Even if you say you’re the strongest, that’s only when you’re alive, and you can’t lose to a corpse that doesn’t have one arm.”
Hong Jae-yu spewed out his magical energy and walked forward.
“I will give him his rest.”
“······i get it.”
In case of an emergency, you can run away with Gaeseong, so you can leave it to me.
I hurriedly passed the layer and followed along into the darkness where Choi Ye-chan had disappeared. Then, the place that appeared with the feeling of using the mana gate was the academy’s stadium.
Immediately, eight corpses everywhere began to rush as if they had been waiting. I expected it, but it’s a trap. Choi Ye-chan shouted from somewhere.
“Come on, call Aiden. Seo Ji-han! Or do you have a blast!”
“…what is the foot trouble.”
I’m so tired I can’t even breathe.
The corpses approaching right in front of them freeze in an instant.
“·······What, magic?”
As the bodies froze in an instant, Choi Ye-chan’s voice lowered. Now my ears don’t hurt. I slowly pulled the trigger on the engine blade to unlock it.
A rustling sound rang out.
“You’re the one doing the kicks from now on. Choi Ye-chan.”
Swinging the sword, the frozen corpses shattered.
A quarrel continued. Castell created a tsunami that swept the area, but the corpse minions held it out.
“These guys are so tough!”
Tails joined in and fired a bow. The moment she pierced her head exactly, Noah Park cut off her neck, all by herself. Tails continued to point the protesters and spoke to Younha Oh, who was fighting beside her.
“Isn’t Noah tired?”
“Nope.”
Oh Yoon-ha murmured. In Oh Yun-ha’s eyes, the mana flowing through Park Noah’s body was forcibly moving her body.
‘I didn’t know it would be so bad…’
However, Noah Park’s movements were excellent enough to make them feel that it was an illusion. She said frankly, she wouldn’t have made it this far without her help.
Yurin panted and spoke from behind.
“So, Oh Yun-ha. How much of Arihan Hector is left?”
“What are you talking about. Do you know where Arihan Hector is and go find him?”
When Tails was startled, Oh Yoon-ha shook her head as if she didn’t mean it and walked forward.
“If you don’t know where it is, you’ll have to make it yourself.”
The place where Oh Yun-ha led the party was where the ‘Magic Circle’ was installed at Yoosung Academy. She felt that this high-level magic circle was the driving force behind her body.
‘All corpses are connected to this magic circle.’
In other words, if only this stopped, the corpses running around the area would stop moving. Oh Yun-ha stood on the magic circle and started controlling the mana nearby to stop it from working.
Her personality is ‘Manasa’. Her recent training has allowed her to control not only her own mana, but also the mana around her. After Park Noah’s confrontation, she eventually grew to a higher level.
That was then. Suddenly, the space split open and an old man appeared from the open darkness.
“Child of Earth. Better not touch it.”
Dozens of black spears were created before everyone could react to the beautiful Hector’s appearance. What he was aiming for was ominous no matter who he was.
“Oh Yoon-ha, danger…!”
“Oh, really?”
Oh Yun-ha muttered peacefully even after seeing the scene, reaching out and holding her hand in the air. At that moment, the black spears created by Arihan Hector crumbled and disappeared.
It wasn’t resistance. It’s just physical interference.
Youn-ha Oh waved her palm to the beautiful Hector and smiled.
“Is magic also getting old?”
“…you’re cheeky.”
A wizard who uses mana to express magic. And Oh Yun-ha, who deals with mana itself.
In terms of character, Oh Yun-ha was overwhelmingly superior.
A regular vibration echoes in the basement. As if to prove a fierce battle, the ruined basement has become a cruel scene. However, there was still blood that had not yet hardened over it.
The process was still ongoing.
The man who was once called the strongest man of mankind was smashing something against the wall with his one remaining arm. The limbs that were lifted up by that movement trembled helplessly. Before long, the wall that had been rubbed with blood could not withstand the shock any longer and collapsed.
At that moment, Layette’s corpse pulled out the sword embedded in his body. The blue sword still rose, but it had no meaning. Black blood oozing from the hole filled the wound.
Leight’s corpse threw the handle at the pile of stones and turned around.
An arm is seen sticking out through the cracks in the pile.
There was no movement.
