Chapter 2061 – 2061. Savior of the Academy
Kept moving forward
There is no end in sight. When I thought that, I had already reached the end.
Large space. Broken agency floor here and there. At the end of it, a being pierced by a spear and a sword.
『Demon Hunter (S) has detected the existence of a demon.』
『All stats temporarily increase.』
『Attack power against demons temporarily increases.』
『Demon Hunter (S) sees through the devil.』
『The devil’s information is unknown.』
The whole body is full of strength.
The demon hunter (S) wanted to kill the demon in front of her. I approached it
There are cracks here and there on the black body. The corners of his mouth were torn as if in an eerie laugh. Blood oozes from the parts pierced by swords and spears. Only those two eyes resembled human ones.
The demon hunter (S) did not know the identity of this demon. This is because the demon in front of you is a very old, ancient demon.
“It is very miserable.”
“Haha. Even if I look like this, am I calm? Although it looks painful, there is no pain. It’s been so long that pain is no longer pain.”
“Are you pretending to be relaxed? I will kill you from now on.”
“The demons who put me here couldn’t kill me. I was strong back then. But time passed and I grew weak. Just to the point of being killed by humans. Hehe.”
He frowned. I didn’t like the way this guy laughed. I wanted to see him beg for my life.
“I’m going to die anyway, so please make fun of me by begging for your life. You never know I might have a whim and save you.”
“Demon hunters save demons? Haha. What a funny joke.”
“Don’t you want to survive and take revenge?”
“Are you tempting me? I don’t know who the devil is. Revenge is fine. Isn’t there an expert in killing demons right in front of me? Even if I die here, you won’t stop killing them. The scales are already leaning toward you.”
I do not like it.
That attitude as if he won even though he lost.
Even if it’s a coincidence, I’m going to kill the demons and act for this guy’s revenge.
That said, I couldn’t not kill this guy, and I couldn’t kill the demons.
“What are you doing, nemesis of demons? Kill me Isn’t there a devil in front of your eyes? Oh, are you curious about my name? I am Aparax. The devil of truth Seeing the truth, telling the truth, penetrating the truth. Come on, kill me. The devil’s nemesis Or do you want to call it like this? The one who came from outside.”
“…”
This guy knew about me too.
No, do you know that?
I looked around with narrow eyes. There was no one.
It was strange.
Yuria and Elena’s capabilities were never below mine. In particular, this kind of attack does not work for Yuria unless she herself wants it. Because she has her absolute spirit. Elena has a surprisingly quick mental breakdown, so she may work through it, but she will get over it eventually.
“Where are they?”
“You mean those from outside like you? They were sent to another space at the same time as they entered because the records were too short. I probably won’t be able to hold on to it for long.”
Record.
The devil of truth is not the ability to blindly scan my memory and judge the truth.
‘Well, it’s too subjective to judge the truth based on memory alone. A person’s memory can be distorted, and there is no law that what a person sees is the truth.’
I knew that Aporax’s authority was a slightly higher level ability.
But intuitively, this guy didn’t know something.
Did I come from outside? Right. But I didn’t know exactly where it came from. If I had known, I would have acted condescendingly rather than being blunt.
I remembered what I had seen on my way here.
All of these things happened in the [Academy Savior] World. Nothing happened in other worlds. The same goes for the scene in episode 1. Yuria and Elena went to another space because they lacked records?
The answer came.
“They said he was a true devil. It doesn’t live up to its name at all.”
“… Her? If it’s a useless provocation, stop it. I know you know a lot more.”
“Then do you know about God?”
“Don’t know. They have already withdrawn from this world. You have moved into a world that suits you a little more. All that remains in this world are their traces. There are still gods in this world, but not all of them are normal.”
“Who is the nine-eyed god?”
“Are you talking about an outside god who is on the same level as a demon god? They basically have no interest in this world. Except for drinking.”
“As expected, he is the devil of truth. You know a lot. So you know the truth about this world.”
“The truth of this world? What are you talking about? That this world was created by God’s mercy? That this world has overcome the crisis of destruction seven times? I said it proudly, so I hope you don’t disappoint me too much.”
“This world is a creation.”
“Are you saying it’s a brain world in a barrel? Is it a creation because it was made with the mercy of God? With words like that, I…”
The devil of truth couldn’t finish his words.
One of the powers of the Devil of Truth is to see through lies and truth. Now I realize that what I said was not a lie.
Opalax’s calm body staggered. Confusion is felt in the human-like eyes.
“Is this world inside a creation? A creation made by God? Is that what you want to say?”
“It was made by humans. You could call it a company. Since the original is a game, there are scenario writers, illustrators, programmers, capitalists, etc… It’s a world where everyone works together to have fun.”
“…”
Rattle. Chunk.
Aporax moves his body. However, it was impossible because the sword and spear pierced his body.
“… If this world is the game you’re talking about. How did you get into the game?”
“Because my ability goes into creations. Novels, movies, dramas, comics, games. Anything can enter that world. This sword I am holding, Hwaryeonbido, was originally real. It is now like this because I asked the god in another creation called ‘God’s Atlantis’ to strengthen it.”
“Nonsense. Could he have such an ability… Does not exist!”
Is the devil of truth trying to deny the truth? It was kind of funny. I looked at him and smiled contentedly.
“Shall I teach you one more truth? I’m on round 2 In the 1st playthrough, I was called SSS class and played in this world. If Mckin hadn’t stabbed me in the back at the end, this world would have been mine.”
“… I understand the incomprehensible. As you said, obviously… But. But… !”
“Demon of truth. Everything you know is a lie how is it? Is the truth of the world you finally learned beautiful and satisfying?”
“Fuck!!!”
Waves of magical energy flowed from the demon of truth and swept everywhere. I held out my sword and resisted the magic.
“I know that nonsense bullshit is true! Your records will tell you the truth! But why did you say that now? To make fun of me? To shake my mind? Did you downgrade this world for that reason?! Even if you haven’t spoken the truth… The truth would not have existed! You defined this world as a lie!”
“Lie? I didn’t say a word like that. This world is real Even if it is a world in a creation, it is real. While some of the other normal guys feel like NPCs, some of them are my girls that I can’t exchange for anyone.”
“… Right. Because of you, does this world become real rather than fictional? Are you new?”
“It’s not. If I were a god, would I be doing this? In the first place, everything that bothered me was wiped out. Well, if there was really no answer, he would have absolutely used the Imperial Fist, but… It would be too futile to use it.”
“…”
The Devil of Truth shut his mouth and closed his eyes.
The guy was desperate. It was what I wanted. I giggled and decapitated the Devil of Truth.
『You have successfully hunted demons. The effect of Demon Hunter (S) is enhanced.』
『The rank of Demon Hunter (S) will rise to SS.』
『Demon Hunter (SS) obtains information about an ancient demon.』
『Absorbs some of the powers of demons killed by the Demon Hunter (SS).』
『The Authority of Truth
Rank: S+
See through the truth
Find out the truth.”
The demon hunter’s rank has risen and he has gained authority.
The Power of Truth can be viewed as a kind of lie detector.
Whoops.
The surrounding space is distorted. Aporax’s corpse disappeared and Elena and Yuria appeared out of thin air.
“It’s not a very good feeling to be locked up.”
“I believed that the master would solve it.”
It wasn’t just them that appeared.
The three people from Guirakgok also appeared, each collapsing or sitting on the floor. Those who thought they would die from being eaten by the Devil of Truth survived. Before they died, the devil of truth died first.
“Yuria. Subdue it.”
“Yes. Master.”
Charrrr.
A chain of shadows appeared and bound them. The imprisoned ones still couldn’t come to their senses.
“I don’t know where the tail got caught.”
Elena muttered. We moved using the space travel order form. Because it’s convenient And because you can shake off any tailing.
“Even if they are dying right now, they are not ordinary humans. There’s no way these people came by chance. Shall I try to put my mind to rest?”
Elena raised her wand. It was her specialty to obtain information by massaging the subject’s mind.
I raised her hand to stop her.
“I got a new power this time. Let them experiment.”
In order to use the Power of Truth, the other party had to be awakened. I came close to them and blew my palms on their cheeks.
Match! Damn! Match!
A crackling sound rang out in succession. I waved my palms until they woke up.
