I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 299



299 – King #2

299 – King #2

The story of the game D&A was a structure in which various events were constantly swirling.

The noisy academy life where many characters live intertwined lives was the motto.

Sub quests, main quests, etc.

You may be distracted by the story spreading in all sorts of directions.

But.

Even if a tree has many twigs, there is only one central pillar.

Pillars of D&A.

It was the story of Luke, a young country bumpkin who moved to Ludens, growing up through all sorts of incidents, becoming sad, and finally smiling again.

On the surface, it is also a story about finding the “Crown” Said to have been left behind by the ancient hero Gilgamesh, the king of kings.

“But even if you get the ‘crown,’ you won’t be able to become a king. At least, if what I know doesn’t change.”

It was when I spoke briefly.

Victorica asks as if she doesn’t understand.

“Didn’t they say that whoever gets the crown gets everything? It was a story about succeeding to Gilgamesh’s throne. That’s why so many people enter Ludens.”

Victorica was right.

The story of the person who gets the crown, becomes king and acquires everything is passed down like a legend in this world.

Everyone’s wishes and goals.

That was the crown.

“It would be quicker to show it.”

I searched through the club room.

My club room was just as neat and tidy as it was before I left on my expedition to the East. It seemed like I never disposed of or organized my things arbitrarily.

Thanks to you, I was able to find it quickly.

It was a stone slab that looked like it had been made from baked clay, and someone had carved letters on it using a sharp wedge or something.

「Inscription of Old Memory #10: On his deathbed, King Gilgamesh said to his surroundings: “I will not inherit the throne to my eldest son Icarus, to his second son Abel, or to his third son Alberto. All the answers are there…”

It is an inscription.

The inscription we obtained.

“Look here. If you read it, all the answers are there—it says. It doesn’t say that he can become king or that he can inherit the throne.”

A will is up to interpretation.

The general interpretations that have been handed down so far are wrong.

“He who gains the crown simply knows the answer to everything.”

What I pulled out next was another inscription.

「Inscription of Old Memories #12: The three princes put in effort and time to find the crown that was said to be somewhere on the Island of Play. Their separated relationship also improved as they shared many ups and downs. Thus, they were finally able to reach the front of the crown in the deep boiling ‘river of flames.’”

“There were already people in the world who had obtained the crown.”

The three princes.

In other words, he was the ancestor of Enio, Victorica, and Nike.

According to the inscription, they have already obtained the crown.

But.

The king was not born.

The crown was simply buried in a river of hot flames.

“There must be a reason why it had to be that way. Why they had to bury the crown deep in the heart of a fiery volcano.”

People don’t know the reason.

However, there was a way to find out why.

“First, head to the river of flames. “I’m going to the volcano in the east.”

Then Nike was surprised.

“Well, I’m going there again… !?”

Nike did not seem to be pleased with the eastern expedition.

He looked at me with anxious eyes, and it seemed like the fact that I died there was actually quite a shock to Nike.

It must be something to worry about.

“I want to tell people that you are alive, Victor. Everyone will want to see it. The same goes for Arnois and nymphs. Christina and the rest of the student council… Kkeongkeongi too…”

Nike mumbling.

I felt like my body was itching to let everyone know that I came back alive.

About that, I can only briefly say, “It may still be too early.”

No, it would be better to add one thing.

“Going east is the priority.”

Then Victorica also asked a question.

“Victor, you already said Yumi would have gotten the crown. Is there any reason to go back to the volcano in the east?”

It makes sense.

I don’t know why I have to go east when I don’t have a crown or Yumi.

I just give a simple answer.

“If that’s the reason, I just showed you.”

“Show me?”

It was Enio who was tilting his head.

I had no choice but to hand them the wide stone slab again.

“It’s an inscription. Old Memory Inscription 13. And 14. There is a high probability that this is in the River of Flame. It will be written there. What is a crown? “Why does there not exist a king in this world?”

Everyone looked as if they had realized something.

“Okay. The dragon is dead. There won’t be anything difficult.”

There is no dragon guarding the volcano.

There is no need to form a large expeditionary force.

In the morning, as soon as the sun rises, you can go there as quickly as possible.

However, Enio expressed a negative opinion, saying, “But the volcano erupted and the road was cut off and blocked.”

He also added the regret of not being able to chase Yumi because the road was blocked and cut off.

“It is a road.”

That’s not a problem for me now.

* * *

Bubbling.

The lava is boiling.

Volcano Vulcan exploded in the fury of a dragon.

Lightning flashes in all directions along with black smoke coming out of the crater.

“This is my first time seeing a scene like this.”

As far as I know, Volcano Vulcan never erupts.

But now it is already differentiating.

The topography of the mountain has changed, and the topography of the eastern field seems to have changed as well.

“Good.”

The monsters may have escaped because of the erupting volcano, but we were able to easily reach the halfway point of the volcano. It was comfortable.

However, when I entered the temple inside the volcano, I was stranded by traces of blackened lava, collapsed pillars, and broken stairs.

“These stairs…”

Enio stops walking.

I pick up a golden coin covered in black dust from the stairs.

Gold coins falling on the stairs.

When I see it, I remember old times.

It was the place where Yumi’s betrayal began.

It all happened here.

I spoke to lighten the mood.

“Going further down. Nike, can you make vine roots?”

I asked Nike to go down the destroyed stairs.

Nike rummaged through his pockets and planted seeds between the cracks in the collapsed stones.

Then, the vines that grew with a crunching sound grew like a net on a training ground and headed downward.

“Good.”

Thanks to this, we were able to go down the broken road.

Corridor.

Arrive at the corridor where the battle with the dragon took place.

“…”

My skin was stinging.

It seems like my body remembers that I burned down here.

I asked, trying to look away.

“Where did you say Yumi disappeared to?”

“Over there, over there.”

Enio pointed to the corridor of the corridor with his finger

As the stone wall collapsed and we dug through a fairly narrow gap, we finally came across a dead-end road that was so covered with soil that we could no longer enter.

“To break through this, we will have to bring in craftsmen and work hard for a month.”

It’s just as Enio said.

It looks like a completely collapsed tunnel.

There was no flat wall that could be used to ‘pierce the wall’.

Even if you try to fight against these irregularly shaped obstacles, you will only end up throwing away your clothes.

“It won’t work the usual way.”

Sreuk.

I rummaged through my arms.

Two scrolls.

Take it out and unfold one.

“Magic scroll?”

The first to react was Victorica.

As expected from a wizard, he is quick.

Soon Nike tilts her head.

“What is a magic scroll?”

Because Nike had lived in poverty since childhood, he did not seem to know what a magic scroll was.

In fact, the magic scroll is an item that only appears in the latter half of the second semester, so it’s not strange even if you don’t know.

Enio explained lightly.

“A magic scroll is an object that captures magic on paper so that it can be used when needed. The manufacturing method is difficult depending on the type, strength, and range of magic—.”

“Anyway, it’s a very expensive item! Victor, this is awesome! When did you get something like that again? !?”

Nike raises his hands in admiration, and Enio frowns as he stops speaking.

Victorica asks as a strange air current flows between the two.

“How ever. What magic are you trying to use? “There is no way there is magic that can destroy a stone wall like this?”

“It’s not about destroying it. You’re trying to pass. This is a magic scroll of ‘Transfer’.”

“Transition… !?”

It was Victoria, whose body was shaking.

It must be reminiscent of what happened last night, on the night of the red moon.

“It’s a rare scroll, but I was lucky enough to get it.”

One given to Salome to use on her way back home.

And, she gave me one to use in case of danger.

Two will be enough for both directions.

“Everyone hold on to me tight. “There is room for four people to move with one scroll, but I don’t know because it’s my first time using it myself.”

Pot.

Everyone clings to me.

Someone hugged my waist or grabbed my shoulders.

Who just pinched your back?

Anyway.

“Use it when everything is ready.”

From noble mtl dot come

The place you want to go is beyond this wall.

Going to break through the legal wall.

Jiik.

I tore the scroll vertically.

Then, my vision flashed with a flash of burning paper.

Last night, I felt the same dizziness as when I first experienced Martha’s transference magic.

“Ugh, it hurts. I kicked my ass…”

Suk suk.

Nike rubbing her butt.

I soon came to my senses too.

There was Enio underneath me.

“… Yikes.”

I was putting my hand on his chest her

Soft.

I am momentarily dazed by the warm and soft warmth.

It seems to have gotten bigger than when I touched it before.

Are you shaking off the burden that was oppressing your mind and growing smoothly?

No, that’s not important.

Zech.

I quickly withdrew my hand before they came to their senses from motion sickness.

When I shook the dust off my body and looked around, I saw a clean hallway and a stone building.

“Here is…” .”

Enio soon came to his senses of her, shaking off the dust from his butt and body of her.

I decided to give a brief answer to his muttering her.

“It’s the royal road, the royal road.”

The road to the crown.

It’s the same as I remembered.

The temple of the gods was destroyed, the volcano erupted, and everything collapsed.

This place was clean, as if it had easily escaped the traces.

There is a red carpet.

There was not even a speck of dust on it, so it was truly worthy of the expression ‘the road the king walks on.’

Suk suk.

Even Nike, who usually doesn’t mind getting dust or dirt here and there, tidies up her clothes.

The pillars that resemble those of a temple are so high that you walk through a hallway that gives you a sense of sublimity.

Hwareuk.

Grumbling-.

Walking through burning torches, we finally arrived at a room with four transparent glass windows.

In the center, there is a colossus wearing gold and silver armor and a strange spring.

Helmet like a lion.

Victorica spoke with her mouth wide open in admiration at the sight of the hero holding an ax and a sword in each hand.

“That is the incarnation of the king. A helmet like that of a lion. The appearance of Gilgamesh, the King of Light… It’s the same as what we’ve seen in textbooks and history books. Amazing…”

Victorica, which is rarely admired, is surprising.

I was also impressed.

Victorica said the line exactly as I thought.

I had to pay attention.

“It is too early to admire.”

「Boss Monster: Guardian of the Royal Family」

That’s not just a work of art.

If we approach the “Crown” Placed in that glass tube or attack it first, it will activate and the battle will begin.

“It looks like Yumi wasn’t able to defeat him.”

This is Yumi, who also ran away from the dragon.

Although Yumi’s physical strength her is lower than that of a dragon, it is natural that Yumi could not face the “Guardian of the royal family” Alone, which requires a difficult battle.

I couldn’t even defeat the guardian, so how did I get the crown?

Of course, there are many ways.

Depending on the choices you made to get here, there is a way to skip the battle itself.

Yumi was strangely knowledgeable about the Ludens system and circumstances.

At the time, I thought that maybe Yumi would have gotten the crown without a fight, just like I tried to do.

“Look at that… !”

Guardian of the royal family.

When Enio and Victorica’s gaze is lost in its majesty.

The first to discover ‘it’ was Nike, which was not interested in works of art.

“That’s not what we were looking for… !?”

Beyond Nike’s slender fingers.

There was something quite brilliant where the fingertip was pointing.

“That’s the crown.”

The crown that I thought Yumi would have taken.

It was placed on a display stand made of glass.
