Chapter 387 – Episode 387 – Academy (34)

Episode 387 – Academy (34)

Shortly after I discovered a bunker underground in the jungle.

I used my magic power to quickly scan the entire bunker. Thanks to my sharply honed senses, I felt a foreign energy.

‘···Apostle?’

Without hesitation, I ran straight ahead. The underground fortress was complicated like a maze and difficult to find, but it didn’t matter to me.

Quang!

If the road was blocked, they would just cut through the wall. I headed to the deepest part, cutting down anything in my way.

How long did it run?

“Dismissal! Avoid it now! Now-“

Get rid of the guards blocking the way. I approached the old man who suddenly got up with a shocked expression.

“Are you a tin bastard?”
“Choi, Choi Si-woo? “How did you…”

From the bulging belly fat to the double-layered chin fat. It was much heartier than it looked in the photo, but it was clearly the Chinese president.

The chairman, who was sweating like he was scared, spoke in a trembling voice.

“What happened to King Myeong?”

“He died by my hands.”

“···!”

I closely observed the old man with his mouth wide open.

‘Was the Chairman an apostle?’

There was something strange about that. I slowly looked at its appearance, but it was full of strange things.

He was so old that his skin was full of age spots and his hair was gray, but he was very healthy. No, to be exact, he had a strong body.

‘···I am not an ordinary human being.’

Even though he is over 80 years old, he is severely obese, weighing around 150kg. At that age, that kind of weight would usually damage my joints and I wouldn’t be able to stand properly.

‘Is it body modification?’

I looked at the muscles writhing beneath the thick fat. The muscle density was strangely high and tough. It was closer to an animal like a wild boar than to a human. It was a strange body with no magic power.

The more I focused my senses, the more I felt a familiar yet unpleasant energy.

‘The energy of foreign media.’

The feeling of seeing a person whose eyes, nose, and mouth are mixed in an arbitrary way. This is the energy I felt from the blue-skinned orc I saw before.

But something was awkward. No matter how I looked at the old man, who was trembling while looking at me, I couldn’t get the feeling that he was an apostle.

My intuition also told me that this man was not an apostle.

‘···The King clearly said that the apostle was an ordinary human being.’

Even though he was a 9 star in name and appearance, there was no way he could not recognize this unpleasant energy. I asked the chairman who was looking at me with a scared face.

“Where is the apostle?”
“Yes···? “Well, if it were him, he would go out to me for a while…”

It was fortunate. At some point, I knew who the apostle was. He was about to answer what the guy was. Magical power swirled about 500 meters away.

‘Teleport!’

It was a magical flow unique to space movement.

Pee it!

The wind blew away. The tin was paralyzed and a mark was carved. After setting it up so it could be tracked at any time, it immediately hit the ground.

Quang!

I ran the shortest distance, breaking the wall. We soon arrived at a spacious space, full of teleportation magic circles emitting blue light.

Someone had left this place using teleportation.

I tried to chase after him but stopped. There were five magic circles that had just been activated.

‘Wait… What is the magic circle that the apostle escaped from?’

I frowned and looked everywhere. It was full of people with urgent expressions trying to escape through teleportation.

“Stop.”

Everyone stood tall at my words. He used magic power to make it impossible to move even a finger.

I focused my senses to see if any apostles were still here, but they all seemed to be ordinary humans.

‘Tsk.’

At least five teleports have already been activated. There was a high probability that the apostle had already left.

“Hey, you there.”
“···Yes?”

I asked the man who was sweating profusely with a pale face.

“Did you see where the apostle went?”
“Ah, an apostle? “What is that…?”

I couldn’t understand it properly. Since I didn’t know who the apostle was, I just sighed. While wondering what to do, he stretched out his hand into the air.

Ugh!

He pulled the tin, which he had thrown on the floor, into the air.

“Huh! “Lord, Chairman?!”

Among those who are scared and shouting. He lifted up a fat old man.

“Hey Tin. “What do you guys call an apostle?”
“Huh. Well, just call it an ambassador!”

The moment the word ‘ambassador’ came out of Tin’s mouth. I asked the man who was the most shocked.

“Where did the ambassador go? If you don’t answer within 3 seconds, I will kill you. Three, two…”

“Oh my! “I went there!”

The man wearing glasses urgently pointed to a magic circle. He wrote a lie, but it turned out to be true.

‘Done.’

I quickly threw the tin away like I was throwing away trash and walked away. I tried to activate the magic circle but stopped.

Something felt strong.

He slowly turned his head. Strangely enough, one dusty magic circle stood out in particular. Just for no reason.

“···.”

Is it because of the intuition that has reached its peak after facing a life-or-death situation just now? Sangdanjeon, which was open to the limit, also pointed to that place.

I looked again at the man with glasses who answered me. He swallowed with a nervous expression, but at least he wasn’t lying.

But is that really true? I couldn’t figure that out. Faith and truth were separate things.

‘…I may have been deceived by an illusion.’

Information obtained through simple intuition and reason without any proper basis. I was conflicted about what to follow.

“Whoa.”

I sighed and made a decision. All the little bit of mental energy that had been built up was gathered to further activate the top battle.

I breathed slowly and closed my eyes.

The only image that came to mind was engraved in my mind.

‘I will kill the apostle.’

My head was pounding with a headache that felt like it was going to explode.

The time that was just a moment becomes infinitely long. How much concentration did you have?

The numb pain soon faded away and my body floated. To be more precise, it felt like my mind had escaped from my body.

‘Ah.’

In the strange experience of looking down at myself from the sky.

Body. No, my mind becomes lighter and lighter. The endless rise continued. Even the restraints of gravity were forgotten and soared somewhere.

A place that Philbu cannot reach even if he flies forever. The moment when the silver river spreading beyond the border was engraved in me.

Strong!

A stabbing headache woke me up. The blurry focus suddenly became clear. I suddenly realized that I had returned to my body.

‘···.’

It was a strange experience that is difficult to describe. Of course, it wasn’t without results. The strange sensation I felt when I cut the surface of the water and parted the clouds. It glimmered at my fingertips.

Jeez.

Really natural. I moved on like I should. I stood on the dusty magic circle.

Flash!

Arrived in a dark cavity with light. I looked around and found that this was also a teleportation base.

There were more than twenty magic circles, and each one was emitting light. All of them had been activated just now.

‘···This is the right place.’

I turned my head with strange confidence.

A magic circle a few steps away caught my eye. In a strange feeling that seemed as if it would disappear at any moment. I chased after the apostle.

Flash!

How many times did a similar situation repeat itself?

Whiiing!

Suddenly a cool wind blew. An open, clear sky unfolded before my eyes.

When I looked down, I saw clouds beneath my feet. Before we knew it, we had arrived at an incredibly high plateau.

-Kruk?
-Quick!

At that time. I heard heavy breathing right next to me. There were monsters everywhere, centered around the magic circle. The monsters that stopped were all staring at me.

-Krrrr…

Hundreds of monsters exposed their teeth but ignored them. There was something else that caught my attention more than the monster.

The sky about 3km away.

I see a hooded man flying silently. Just looking at it, it was very suspicious. If he were a human, monsters with infinite hostility would not target him.

-Kwaooooo!!

At the same time as the eardrum-shattering roar, a strong shock wave erupted.

Whoa!

A gorilla larger than an average building slams its fist down. Starting with this one, hundreds of monsters everywhere rushed towards me.

I narrowed my eyes while trying to ignore him and chase after the man. A dizzying feeling of dizziness that arose along with a headache took hold of me.

‘···Have I run out of strength?’

Even what little was recovered was depleted. Of course, the Danjeon was also empty.

A piece of life and death. He was a master of tracking down the apostle with an unidentifiable strange sense.

“Whoa.”

He exhaled lightly and controlled his breathing. Even without a single trace of history, I was still Hyun-kyung.

Ugh!

A natural guardian floating in the air. They respond to my will. A shimmering cluster of lights gathered around the blade.

Sigh!

A crescent-shaped force swept all around. I drew it horizontally, which was long like a whip.

-Gwaaaaa!!

A giant gorilla slamming its fist lets out a scream. The entire forearm, which was bigger than a log, was cut off and blood was splattered.

Suddenly!

The slash that started from the tip of the sword swept all around. The monsters that were staring at me with bright red eyes were cut into pieces and turned into pieces of meat in an instant.

That time when all the monsters were cut down. I made eye contact with the man who was looking this way from afar.

“···.”

The guy with a frown on his face quickly flew into the sky and ran away. I also kicked the ground.

Quang!

At the same time as the sound of air bursting. The surrounding scenery stretched out. The distance between him and the guy narrowed in an instant.

Before I knew it, I was within reach if I just stretched out my hand.

“···!”

Gritting his teeth, the man took out a purple cane, but it was meaningless. It was completely destroyed with just one gesture of my hand.

Among the shattered and scattering debris.

Quack!

I squeezed it so hard that my neck bones were crushed. He pulled him close and the corner of his mouth curled up.

“I finally caught it. “You rat.”
