Chapter 1756 – 1756. Savior of the Academy
Seoul is being destroyed by a natural disaster.
Of course, the heroes came out. Moves with lifesaving as the top priority and attacks the materialized spirit. However, the spirit did not calm down. If it was dangerous, they either ran away or called other spirits to attack them together.
What is unusual is that it is the movement of lower spirits.
‘Low spirits are basically stupid. It’s instinctive, to put it mildly. Is my opponent stronger than me? Then run away without looking back. There is only one case of fighting together like that. You’re taking someone’s orders.’
Even when I looked around, I couldn’t feel the presence of the elemental sage. It means that it moves with the power of something other than the elemental spirit.
‘At least the highest level spirit. Even if I can’t do it, I’ll have to gather 5 or more to be able to do it.’
Worst case there were more. This is the case when the King of Spirits gave a direct order.
“Help! Help!”
A woman shouts at me. Her voice was my taste, but her face was normal. If you look at her woman’s legs, she has bits of asphalt embedded in her.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
A rocky giant walks slowly towards the woman. It is a high-level rock spirit. It seems to kill the woman by stepping on it with its enormous weight.
‘It’s not ugly, but it’s normal. Besides, this place is inside a dungeon. It’s fake, do I need to save it?’
He could have saved her and raped her, but he didn’t have the time right now. You must find and kill Laplace.
“My, please save me!”
A woman stretches out her hand to me. I watched quietly. Thud! A high-ranking rock spirit stepped on the woman’s body. She stepped and stepped. Hatred is felt in the act. I approached the spirit while using the spirit eye.
The rock spirit, who had clenched his fists with intent to kill me, lowered his fists again.
“Human…. It feels familiar to you. You are different from the humans here.”
The spirit was benevolent. It’s because of my high spirit affinity.
“Why are you attacking humans?”
“Will you interfere?”
“I am just asking out of curiosity. If you were going to interfere, you would have already done it.”
“Right…. It wouldn’t matter if I told you that I felt familiar. The King of Spirits was furious. He was disappointed in man and decided to punish him. Hurry up and kill the humans….”
I felt desperate anger from the spirit. This is the anger I feel under the influence of the Spirit King. I broke out in a cold sweat. There was no direct intervention by the King of Spirits in the original work.
“Why is the Spirit King angry with humans?”
“Seong Ha-ri. The woman mutilated and ate the king’s jade body.”
“…….”
I held my breath. I was taken aback when the unexpected name came out. Seong Ha-ri, the spirit said, must have been Young Ha-ri. Is Young Ha-ri still alive? Isn’t it dead?
Come to think of it, this place was a dungeon. It wasn’t strange even if Young Ha-ri was there. It’s probably a different character from Young Ha-ri in virtual reality.
“You only have to attack that woman. Is it necessary to attack all humans?”
“Humans invaded the spirit realm, starting with that woman. He tried to destroy the spirit realm and go against the order of things. The King of Spirits was furious at that. We are the king’s wrath, and we are the king’s mace.”
The rock spirit looked around its head. Soon after, he turned around as if he had found another human.
“You, too, act on behalf of the king’s wrath. If you kill a human, the king will be pleased.”
“I have more urgent matters than that. Seong Ha-ri. Where is she?”
“There it is. She is high in the mountains Since the king’s limbs moved directly… How could a human being made of flesh and bones survive? She said the girl would die. That is justified.”
“Curse yourself very much.”
I swung Kusanagi’s sword containing Susanoo’s power. The body of the rock spirit is cut. A large rock split in two. The ground shakes. Before he could use his strength, he cut off the remaining torso as well. The one with only the head left spewing murderous intent at me.
“How dare you betray me?!”
“Seong Ha-ri is my woman. Who do you want to kill? Whether it be the spirit king or whatever, he has no right to touch my woman.”
You cut off the head of a rock spirit.
Where there are mountains.
Are there two mountains in Korea? In addition, the world of [Academy’s Savior] Has never been divided into North and South Korea, unlike reality. The 625 war did not exist at all.
‘If you add the mountains to the north… That’s too much.’
Suddenly, I remembered. Should I meet Seong Ha-ri of this world? It wouldn’t be Seong Ha-ri from the original, and there was a possibility that it wasn’t even the Yeong Ha-ri I knew.
‘There’s a chance he knows me, considering the last time, but….’
Now I must find and kill Laplace.
‘It’s also a problem that I don’t know where Laplace is.’
I paused.
It was a situation where I couldn’t do this or that. What should I do? Simple. Do what you want to do.
‘I have to meet Seong Ha-ri in the dungeon. Let’s meet and get information. Then maybe we can learn about the real Seongha-ri’s past.’
The hint given by the rock spirit is a mountain. And the words that the king’s limbs moved. If there was a battle, you wouldn’t be all right, so you’d have to find the most dangerous mountain.
I left Seoul once.
• • •
First, we headed south. When it comes to Korean mountains, Jirisan and Hallasan come to mind first.
I used Susanoo’s power. It was blown south by the wind. Not only Seoul, but other areas were all under attack by spirits.
‘I heard that China and Japan are not in a mess either. Well, it’s none of my business.’
Jirisan collapsed. There was a landslide and it was a mess. It would take at least a few years to sort it out. It seems that the highest level spirit used its strength, but no traces of battle could be found.
Hallasan Mountain in Jeju Island exploded. Red lava flowed and volcanic ash flew in the sky. There were also no signs of a battle to be found.
Besides that, I looked for other mountains. It was all shit. Nothing was fine. Of course, the same goes for cities.
‘Ten million people will die.’
After this is over, there will not even be a country called Korea. The situation was that serious.
‘I searched all the mountains to the south, but there is none. Then all that’s left… Is it the north?’
Surrender to the wind The wind carried me and blew me north. It was quite comfortable. The downside was that it was a bit cold.
Flying north, mountain after mountain was all over. However, there were no mountains showing signs of battle. All of them were destroyed mercilessly due to natural disasters.
Now, there was only one mountain left, Mt. Baekdu.
Surprisingly, Mt. Baekdu was fine. It showed a strong appearance as if it had not been affected by natural disasters at all.
‘But what is that? Tower?’
A Tower stood tall on the lake at the top of Baekdu Mountain. It was a tower that seemed to be about the height of the 20th floor of an apartment building, but it was grand and grand.
‘Why is there a tower all of a sudden? And why are there so many people here? Did you come because Mt. Baekdu was fine?’
I flew to the top of Mt. Baekdu. The lake is red. The lake smelled thick of blood. When I looked into the lake, I saw that it was full of corpses. Traces of battle It seemed like it was one-sided.
“Who is it? Please state your name and affiliation.”
Someone came up behind me and asked in a cold voice. It was a familiar voice. Look back slowly
She was a dark brown haired woman with a white coat draped over her shoulders.
Jiyoung Kang. She was the dean of Maruhan Academy in the original story. Her top was torn down her side. Traces of blood and bandages around her waist are visible. There is blood on the white bandage. It just doesn’t look normal.
She “Asked who?”
After thinking about it, I opened my mouth. Even if you know my real name, it won’t affect anything outside the dungeon anyway.
“This is Sung Eugene.”
“Ah. Right. Seong Yujin. Where do you belong?”
“Maruhan Academy.”
“Academy? You’re too strong to be a student. Are you a new teacher? Why did you come here?”
“The world is a mess, but does that matter?”
“… Under. I don’t know what to say.”
“What is that tower? It doesn’t look like an ordinary tower.”
Jiyoung Kang looked at me and at the top. She sighed as if she didn’t like something about her. It was her sigh of resignation, that she had given up on something.
“Information about the tower should have been known as soon as it became known… Don’t you know?”
“I don’t even watch the news.”
“It appeared out of nowhere a fortnight ago. There was a gate reaction right before it showed up.”
“Is it a tower-shaped dungeon?”
“There were heroes who entered the tower first. It was a team made up of half Korean and half Chinese heroes.”
This was the border area between Korea and China. In a way, it was natural for the Chinese to join in.
“The team came back in one day. 80% of the team was wiped out. Those who survived said that the tower was the Tower of Wishes.”
“… Tower of Wishes?”
“A tower that grants the wishes of those who have climbed to the top of the tower. The problem is that the information leaked from the Chinese side as well. All kinds of people flocked to it. If you look outside, you will still see people climbing up towards the tower.”
“Okay. He came to Mt. Baekdu. But none of them actually reach it.”
“The Spirit is blocking it. Strangely, the spirits didn’t come near the tower. How did you get here without being disturbed by the spirits?”
“Because I’m an Elementalist.”
“… Elementalist? My name is Sung Yujin…. Are you a member of the Jinryeong chant?”
I didn’t answer. Jiyoung Kang understood and nodded her head.
‘Tower of wishes….’
I think Seongha-ri mentioned it before.
But there are doubts. If you climb to the top of the tower, your wish will come true. It’s an unconventional reward, but I don’t know its existence. I haven’t learned anything from the academy either. Although this deserves to be mentioned a few times as news.
“Did Seong Ha-ri enter the tower?”
“… Okay. 8 hours ago. We were facing the Chinese side… They suddenly appeared and attacked us. Couldn’t stop Killed in 5 minutes. It wasn’t the Seonghari I knew.”
“You are not dead.”
“Even though he became a villain, it seems that his old feelings remained to some extent. Did you come to see Seong Ha-ri? Quit it. There are no words for this guy now. Even if they are members of the same family, they will attack without hesitation. Especially since you’re an Elementalist….”
Cuckoo!
The tower shakes. Its surface cracked and began to slowly crumble.
“Aaaaa!”
Scream.
Seong Ha-ri’s screams echoed from the top of the tower.
