Chapter 172 – Academy (11)

Siwoo coolly drank the World Tree sap. The feeling of coolness running down his neck was exhilarating.

The energy that had been wasted rose steadily. It’s already the second time since he’s recovered his history.

Evan’s fingertips trembled.

Kwajik.

He trampled on the trap that emitted blue cold air. All the artifacts he prepared turned into scrap metal.

“Are there any more?”
“You bastard…! How many sap do you have?”

He played around with the sap bottle.

“I can give you a sip if you ask. How is it?”
“Profit..!”

I smiled at Evan, who was hesitantly withdrawing.

He gathered his overflowing energy into his fist.

In an instant, the condensed inner energy began to emit blue light.

Geumgang bankruptcy rights (金强破山拳).

Kwon Kang grew in an instant. The strong air, several times larger than a fist, shot out like a cannon ball.

Kwaaang!

All the rocks that protected him were shattered.

“Absolute Shield!”

A yellow barrier blocked Kwon Kang. The man stretched out his hands in front of him. A vein sprouted on his forehead.

For a while too.

Damn

Cracks appeared on the barrier like a spider’s web.

Jjoong!

Eventually shattered I couldn’t stand the resistance surrounding Kwon Kang.

The guy whose heart was pierced turned into water.

Evan reappeared in the corner of the warehouse. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

“Kheuheouk..! God damn it… It’s like a dog’s exorcism…”

I calculated the guy’s mana while laughing. Already more than half consumed.

He wasn’t the only one waiting for his mana to wear off.

‘Twice at most now? You’re close.’

I turned my back to the only entrance to prevent Evan from escaping. He walked slowly, as if pressing.

The guy who gritted his teeth looked at the saintess.

“Profit..”

The saintess stood quietly beside Helena.

There was no reason for two people who had no grudge to fight in the first place.

“Evan. Stop now and apologize together. If you politely apologize and make amends, you may be forgiven.”
“Crazy! You want me to apologize?! What about humans?! Aaaaagh!”

Evan, who was having a seizure, took something out of his arms.

Red compass.

I saw it and stopped walking. Intuition warned. The tingling in the back of my head didn’t feel good.

I thought about cutting off his arm, but gave up. It’s already late.

He loosened up his stiff muscles. Excessive tension only slowed down the response.

She exchanged glances with Helena. She too was slowly coming this way, perhaps sensing her strangeness.

Evan glared at her with her bloody eyes, and she shouted.

“Don’t blame me, human! Because you brought it on yourself!”

Tendons sprung up on his forearm.

Kwajik.

The compass shattered in a clenched fist.

“Keugh!”

Sharp thorns pierced the back of his hand and protruded. Like tentacles, it rode down his arms and burrowed into his heart.

Evan, punched through his chest, vomited his blood.

Blasphemy!

The air cracked and a human figure came out.

A man with purple skin walked down the air. The animal horns on his head showed that he was not human.

Idiot. Demonic spirit emanated from the two sharp horns.

The man tilted his head left and right and smiled. A voice I didn’t want to hear shook the basement.

-Ha.. This refreshing air. Exciting.

The demon, who had spread both arms leisurely, hesitated. The grinning face twisted.

-Ha… The cheeky elf dares to offer only the shell?

Evan, whose heart was pierced, turned into water and disappeared. It reappeared a few steps from the side.

He shouted with a pale complexion.

“Kuluk.. I sacrificed my body according to the contract, so kill that human!”

The saintess shouted in a trembling voice.

“Hey, demons?! Evan! What the hell have you done!”
“Don’t worry Lydia. We will be safe.”
“That’s not the point!”

Siwoo narrowed his eyes and looked at the demon. She couldn’t tell how strong she was from the outside.

She exhaled slowly.

She loosened her stiff body and took her stance. She stood in front of Helena.

-Heh, it’s a contract. Yes. You promised to kill him if you sacrificed yourself.

The demon stroking my chin stopped all its movements.

She said with a smirk.

– Yes, that’s good. Elf. Don’t do what you want

The demon pierced his own heart.

Chew!

He pulled out his beating heart and let it burst without hesitation.

Instead of blood, a black mist burst out. It spread all over the place like an explosion.

That pole.

The underground warehouse touched by the fog began to twist.

Evan screamed in fright.

“Crazy bastard..! What are you doing!”

The demon who lost her heart and collapsed said with a smile.

– Haha! You think I’ll give you what you want for free! Let’s just die together!

Siwoo raised his inner strength and sharpened his senses.

I felt a familiar feeling in the shaking underground warehouse.

‘No way···. Space travel?’

It felt like this when I was forced to transfer to the old phoenix.

“Aagh!”

Evan was swallowed in the twisted space, and her saintess was also sucked in.

Goo Goo!

The floor of the warehouse was crushed as if something had crushed it. It was as if the sky was falling.

“Siwoo-nim, stick closer!”

Helena created a barrier after forming a complex hand sign. A barrier narrow enough for two people to fit through.

In an instant, the rising fog pressed down on the barrier.

I’m going to have a good time.

With the sound of something grinding, Helena’s complexion turned pale.

“I’m sorry..”

She covered the barrier with self-defense equipment imbued with her anti-magic power. As much as her complexion improved, her history was rapidly consumed.

She had no time to drink the sap of the World Tree.

Kwajijik!

Calculate the rate at which internal force decreases. A judgment was made immediately.

It was unreasonable to endure both. He was confident that he would survive wherever he was transported.

All the rest of his inner strength was beaten into the self-defense machine. He wrapped it around Helena and plunged into her twisted space.

“Oh, no..!”

A stunned Helena was caught in the last transmission as she reached out her hand.

Flash

In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed. I reflexively looked around.

It was indoors once.

‘Corridor?’

It was blocked off with black walls up to the ceiling. There was not a single window. The dark hallway continued on and on.

I wondered what kind of trick the demon was playing. I raised my senses and frowned.

The feeling didn’t work properly. It was frustrating like being blind.

‘It was like this when I was transferred by the phoenix… Then, is this a mental space?’

The surroundings were quiet. There was no visible danger.

I took out the World Tree sap from my inventory and drank it.

“Big..”

The empty danjeon filled up with a cool refreshing feeling.

‘I wonder if Helena will be okay.’

I pulled out the emergency communicator. GPS signal was not picked up. It was also not a normal space.

There was only one communication signal. It was rewarding to buy a top-notch communication artifact.

‘Are you going to do it?’

She tried contacting Helena.

-Turr.. Turr.. Click.

“Oh? Helena?”
-Si..U..?! Is your body okay..?

“I’m fine. Is Helena okay?”
-I… Doo… I’m fine… I’m… In the basement… In the warehouse…

He tilted her head at the sound of her languid voice. Looking at the communication box, she blinked as if it would cut off immediately.

“Helena. Are you talking too slow?”
-That’s… So… Fast…

Her voice got slower and slower. After thinking about it for a while, she realized. It seemed that the flow of time was different from each other.

“For now, I’m fine, so don’t worry. This place is blocked off on all sides by black walls. There is a long hallway. Do you know?”

-Labyrinth····. Gap·····Jeong·························································································· ··········texture.

Pop.

Eventually, communication was cut off. I tried reconnecting it, but it didn’t work.

‘Migung, don’t worry. Soon?’

The biggest worry was alleviated. Helena didn’t seem to be sucked into this place.

Besides, there seemed to be a way to solve it outside.

‘Can I just wait?’

From Helena’s slowed voice, the time seemed different. I didn’t know how long I would last here.

At first glance, it felt like four or five times slower.

‘Is a week here going to be about a day outside?’

It might be more than that, judging by the gradually slowing voice. She thought for a moment, then gave up her thoughts.

Since there is no information anyway, it was just speculation. The time flow might not have been different.

With the inventory, at least she wouldn’t have to worry about starving to death.

She narrowed her eyes as she looked down the corridor. It was dark and I couldn’t see the end.

She went up to the wall and tapped it with her fist.

‘It’s quite hard…’

I was about to break it, but I stopped. She installed a simple barrier artifact around her and sat cross-legged.

In the end, the most reliable thing in such a suspicious place was her own skills.

She gulped down the sap of the World Tree without hesitation.

It was time for her to rise to the peak once again.

*

Pudeudeuk. Pudeuk.

Opened her eyes with the sound of her cool bones.

“Sueuuuuu..”

I laughed out loud at her refreshing sense. I got up as if I was bouncing off the floor.

Her whole body felt light. It felt like I had thrown off the straitjacket that was tightly constricting my whole body.

She relaxed her body, enjoying the ecstatic sense of release.

The dark hallway lit up. As she climbed to the peak, her eyesight itself became stronger.

‘You bastard, Evan.

It was one-sided even when it was 6 stars, but now it is 7 stars. I was looking forward to the day I met him.

I hesitated while recovering the barrier artifact.

‘For a moment···. Then you’re saying there’s a saint here too, right?’

Being caught up in the same transmission, the possibility was quite high.

A blonde, colossal elf who was virtually impossible to eat in a normal way.

A bag of divine power that seemed to burst came to mind.

What a great opportunity.

Sky. No, it was a golden opportunity given to her by her ex-fiancé, Evan.

‘I’ll have to eat it in front of that bastard.’

Just imagining it made my mouth water.

She moved her steps while contemplating how to find the saintess.
