Chapter 390 – Episode 390 – Academy (37)
Episode 390 – Academy (37)
Disgusting cries are heard from monsters everywhere.
-Keeeee!
I stretched out my hand as I saw the monsters rushing in like crazy. I grabbed the air out of habit, but I couldn’t catch anything.
‘···Ah.’
Like the mental protection skill, the inventory was also useless. Of course, I couldn’t even take out my favorite sword.
“Tsk.”
I repeated clenching and unfolding my grip several times. That was when I clicked my tongue, feeling somehow empty.
-Kaaaaa!
Before I knew it, a wolf the size of a house had lunged right in front of me and roared. A fishy, poisonous aura can be felt from the shiny fangs and purple-black mane fur.
Awesome!
Facing the claws flying towards my eyebrows.
Kwasik! I hit the ground running. The solid earth splits into a spider web shape.
The repulsion force from the floor was fully utilized. The weak strength was amplified through the joints. The moment it passes through the waist and shoulders and reaches the fist.
Quaaaaang!
The magical power extending from the regime tears the monsters to pieces. The sharp wind that poured down like a fan swept away the demonic beasts.
‘···It’s not even noticeable.’
There were so many monsters that it was ridiculous. I just wiped out hundreds of them with a single blow, but there were still a lot of them.
The number I killed was nothing compared to the overwhelming scale. It felt like I was scooping a bucket of water out of the ocean.
Moreover, there was another strange thing.
‘Why isn’t my magic coming out?’
By nature, monsters release their magic power when they die, but these guys had none of that.
Rather···
Pow! The body inflated like a balloon and burst like an explosion. The moment the purple-black smoke spread in all directions in an instant touched my skin.
“Tsk…”
I was shaken by a dizzying headache. I have a strong desire to stab my own heart right now. I hated everything alive, including myself.
Wow.
I bit the tip of my tongue and held onto my senses. I reflexively contemplated the image, but I felt thick darkness encroaching on me from all directions.
When I built a solid wall to block them, I was able to return to a clear mind.
“Whoa…”
It was a dangerous energy that shook one’s mind just by touching it.
I frowned and stretched out my hand. I recovered the magical power I just poured out with my fist. There was no mana in the atmosphere here, so I couldn’t waste it.
I recovered as much as I could, but not all my strength came back.
‘···Has 10% been lost?’
I took a breath as I saw the monsters rushing at me again. Not to mention my mental strength, I had to conserve my energy as well.
Ugh!
He wrapped the sword energy, which was pulled out as thin as a thread, around his fingertips and swung it. Sigh! In an instant, he kicked the ground, leaving his severed head behind.
It seemed like I would have to go through some trouble.
*
I see a blue orc slashing an ax at me. I twisted my upper body to avoid it and tapped my fingertips. The magic that seeped into my eyebrows came back, shredding the muscles of my entire body.
Trance.
As the fierce fight continued, my movements changed.
The trick of the spiral is contained in the lightly sprinkled fist. A rhinoceros the size of a house bounced like a cannonball from a short-cut windpipe and flew away.
As magic power was conserved, technology reached its peak.
Pee it!
I jerked my head at the sharp sound of the attack. I turned my attention to the thorn that had pierced where my eyebrows had been just moments ago.
-Kyaaaaa!
From about 100 meters away. A monster that looked like a mix between a hedgehog and a spider had its thorns raised. The moment when the sharp thorns turned towards me.
Hwihwihwih!
It rained down like buckshot. Dozens of skewers flew into the air.
Her eyes widened and her whole body relaxed. A piece of internal power pulled from the Danjeon was guided to his fingertips.
Lucky flowing water.
The wind swirls around my lightly waved palm. The moment my hands slowly drew Taegeuk. The thorns that were raining down on me bounced and flew in all directions.
Puff puff!
The monsters charging at me got caught up. He died instantly with his entire body covered in holes.
-Crrrr!
He doesn’t seem to like that look. That time when the hedgehog, who had been trying to kill himself, raised thorns again.
Kwasik!
In a moment, he was crushed to death without even making a sound. A huge snake over 100 meters long crushed him.
Kugugoong!
The earth shakes just by barely moving. The entire ground shook as if there had been an earthquake.
-Keeeeek!
A simple roar sent shock waves. Dozens of monsters around were caught up and exploded.
‘Her.’
It was one of the most terrifying monsters I’ve ever seen. If you look closely at the skin, you can see that the limbs of an animal that you have seen somewhere are writhing, like dough made from hundreds of species of living things.
Quang!
The moment I blinked my eyes. Its massive body filled my field of vision. Just before the snake rushed towards me in a split second.
Pee it!
He brushed his fingertips away. A whirling blue wind blew into my eyes.
-Craaaaarack!
He struggled roughly as if in pain, but did not stop. I continued to rush forward blindly. Like a runaway locomotive.
The country will not be okay if it gets hit by this ignorant rush. I watched until the end and lightly kicked the ground.
‘Now.’
I dodged a step to the side and pushed the guy’s massive body. The moment when the direction of the force is slightly, minutely twisted without going against it.
Quaaaaang!
A huge snake passed by me and fell to the ground. Hundreds of monsters that were running behind me couldn’t resist and were crushed to death. The overwhelming mass was a great weapon in itself.
-Kyaaaaa!
Suddenly!
He cut off the struggling snake’s neck and prepared for the purple-black smoke that would burst from the corpse.
Woe! The rapidly expanding smoke swept over my body, but unlike the first time, I was able to endure it.
‘Whoo…’
I built a wall around my heart and created wind with my fingertips. The vortex rotating around me gradually grew bigger.
Whoa!
I guided outwards the flow that was trying to seep into me and engulf my mind.
Sigh!
The black-purple smoke became a sharp slash and cut into the monster. The direction of the force was reversed using the lucky flow.
‘Succeded.’
I quickly shook off my tingling fingertips. I was able to influence the energy of those who were difficult to recognize at first.
In the endless fight, my senses also evolved to a new level.
“Whoa.”
I took a breath and narrowed my brows. The lack of magical power was made up for with recovered mental strength.
I looked around, but it was still full of monsters.
‘···There is no end.’
At first, I thought it would end if I killed it, but that wasn’t the case at all.
Their offensive did not stop. Rather, it felt like it was getting stronger. It was literally a disaster as they rushed forward with burning hatred without a break.
‘Terrible bastards.’
The concept of simply large numbers reached its extreme and became overwhelming violence in itself. I felt like I was drifting in a vast ocean full of monsters.
I thought about how to get through this situation while killing the monsters that were attacking me.
‘Where on earth do these come from?’
What is the source of the pouring monsters? It had to be found out and destroyed.
There was no chance of winning if I just held on like this.
‘···.’
I tightened my spirits, but didn’t feel anything unusual. Heaven and Earth everywhere. No matter where I looked, it was full of monsters, so I couldn’t pinpoint the direction.
Suddenly!
He narrowed his eyes as he chopped up a gorilla with green skin like a troll.
Suddenly I feel a strange sense of déjà vu. The monsters all had terrible appearances, but somehow felt familiar.
‘This···’
A huge whale-like monster fired a water cannon at me.
Sigh!
The dark red blood was like a sharp blade. Due to the overwhelming water pressure, everything that came into contact with the water was instantly cut off.
It wasn’t exactly the same, but it felt like a mess of things I had seen somewhere.
‘Why do these guys look so familiar?’
At first, I thought it was normal since it was a monster, but when I thought about it slowly, I realized it was strange.
The characteristics of monsters in the Academy Earth and modern times are slightly different.
From size to main attack method. It differed in many ways. It was natural that the concentration of magical power in the atmosphere was different.
But do monsters look familiar in this strange world without a ounce of magical power?
‘It doesn’t make sense.’
The feeling of déjà vu grew bigger and bigger. Where did these monsters come from and do they resemble things I know? What are the chances of that happening in a completely different world?
The questions continued one after another.
‘Ah.’
Suddenly, a thought popped into my head.
A space of emptiness where there was originally nothing. There was the only entity here that was related to monsters.
It’s me.
I stopped and slowly looked around. I see monsters rushing towards me with bright red eyes.
Although it was bizarrely twisted, it was very similar to the things I usually see.
“···No way.”
Suspicions that were once weak grow out of control.
I looked back on my memories from when I entered the destroyed world. The moment I realized there was no bottom, the fall began. On the contrary, when I decided to believe in myself, solid ground was created. As if it was reacting to my thoughts.
‘What about monsters?’
That’s not what I came up with. Because they literally appeared out of nowhere.
‘Is this the work of foreign media?’
I didn’t pull the trigger, but I was the source of them. It was something that overflowed from my memories.
The moment I finally realized that everything was an illusion that originated within me.
Pop.
As if it were a lie, the monsters’ offensive stopped. It was as if the world was still and nothing moved.
The noise disappeared as if it had been washed, and a calm wind blew.
Thud···! Thud···!
A faint sound of heartbeat is heard in my ears. The moment I lifted my eyelids, not knowing how long they had been closed.
I was able to come face to face with a huge heart that pulsated as if it were alive.
I realized it the moment I saw it. This was the heart of the foreign press.
