I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 386
386 – The Most Beautiful Woman #41
386 – The most beautiful woman # 41
“It seems like something happened at the academy.”
After communication with Victorica was cut off, I waved the magic tool around to talk to her again.
I was wondering if the battery might have run out, so I asked Enio to recharge my magic power.
Still, the communication connection was not restored.
“Victor, where have all the cultists gone?”
Enio asks while looking around.
There were more than a hundred cultists stationed in this “Chapel of Creation.”
When I came up from the basement after defeating Nokio, they all disappeared as if they were ghosts. Not a single shadow of a person is visible.
“Hey, Victor!”
At that time, someone appeared from afar waving his hand
It’s Diarmid.
“Dearmid, you look safe.”
Diarmid seemed to have done well in his fight against Job, the Holy Knight of the Creation Church. When I ask about the situation, Dear Mead opens her mouth as if to calmly explain what just happened.
“The fight stopped midway. Suddenly, strange things that looked like pages of paper came flying and I couldn’t see the black armor?”
Did he run away?
At that time, Hilde appeared from the other side with one arm wrapped in a bandage.
“I escaped using transfer magic. Margarita, who I was dealing with, also escaped through transference. I thought I would finally be able to retrieve the treasures of Themyscira Archipelago. Tsk-.”
It was Hilde clicking her tongue and banging on the stone wall of the temple.
It seems like both Diarmid and Hilde are disappointed to have lost their opponent.
Of course, I was admiring the current situation.
Even though the pseudo-priests escaped on the way, they were able to corner them without any injuries. Diarmid and Hilde’s level was higher than I thought.
Is it because the intense competition in the first semester, vacation, and second semester has trained them? What’s disappointing is that there wasn’t enough time to get emotional and give feedback on the battle.
“It seems like something happened at the academy. Now that things are like this, it would be better for us to return quickly.”
I told Hilde and Diarmid about the situation in which I communicated with Victorica.
After listening to my opinion, they agreed to return to Ludens Academy.
“Victor, go first.”
From noble mtl dot come
However, Enio said something that bothered me.
“Because I have work to do while staying here.”
“Really?”
“I think this place might have what I’m looking for. The traces of my brother. In fact, that’s the reason I followed Victor.”
I see.
I had a vague expectation because he was looking around as if he was looking for something.
However, I was worried about whether it was right to leave Enio alone in this cult’s headquarters where you never know what might come out of nowhere.
A situation that seems urgent in many ways.
If this was a real game, there would have been two options that came to mind,
“One. Return to Ludens Academy and support Victorica and her companions.”
“2. Follow Enio.”
Dungeon & Academy was a game where choices were considered important.
Depending on what you choose at the moment of choice, the route is different and the game content changes significantly.
It is always up to the player to handle it.
The beauty of D&A is enjoying a fate that changes solely based on your choices.
The choice I will make here is─.
“I will follow Enio.”
“2. “Follow Enio.”
Enio’s voice brightens, perhaps making him feel a little better with this choice.
“Really? Victor, are you choosing me over the safety of the academy?”
Enio seemed to have misunderstood a bit.
I didn’t particularly prioritize Enio over the safety of the academy.
There are Nike and Victorica at the academy.
They have already become stronger after dealing with the demons.
They say that they will feed 2-3 people on their own even without me.
However, Enio had many unsettling factors that made it difficult to leave him alone.
Especially this place.
This “Chapel of Creation” Was a space full of variables for Enio.
In the original Black Star route, the standard progression is that Enio betrays the main character and joins the cultists.
This “Chapel of Creation” Was also the place where the ‘God of Night – Nyx’, who resided in Enio’s body his, ran rampant.
Of course, we have now deviated a long way from the original Black Star route.
Still, there is no harm in being careful.
* * *
Luke, Hilde, and Diarmid returned to Ludens Academy.
About 10 minutes after they left.
Enio and I were exploring the “Chapel of Creation” Where the cultists had escaped.
A quiet and dark temple.
It feels like it would appear as a haunted place in a horror movie.
“It’s like a beehive.”
Enio said while walking down the empty hallway.
What a beehive.
When I asked, Enio added a few words of explanation.
“I once saw the beehive that Queen Bee Elizabeth made with her subordinates. I saw her leave her small, old beehive and move to a new home. The abandoned beehive looked a little lonely.”
“I see.”
Listening to what Enio said, it really was like a beehive.
An abandoned house after all the bees buzzed away.
We tried to find traces of Enio’s brother Aidan in those places.
However, contrary to what we thought, the temple was just a structure made of piled stones. It was a time when I thought it would be okay to go back.
“As expected, my brother is here somewhere.”
Enio said with confidence.
The will seems as firm as an iron pillar being driven vertically.
“This place. Somehow my mind feels calm and stable. I think the goddess of negativity within me likes this place. I feel like I have more strength than usual.”
Well, if things had gone the way they were supposed to, Enio, you would have reached the ending of the Black Star route here. It may be natural that power bounds in this place.
Of course, I never said that out loud.
Before I could say anything, Enio started taking off his shoes.
Whisk.
Enio puts his shoes down neatly on the floor.
That was when I put my stockinged feet on the stone floor of this cold temple.
Sssss-.
Enio’s black stockings began to scatter like ants. It then began to spread throughout this chapel, and it was a very strange scene.
I asked, looking at Enio’s white legs with the stockings removed.
“Enio, what are you going to do? Was it hot enough to make you want to take off your stockings?”
“This chapel. This is something I’ve vaguely noticed since I was snooping around looking for the basement. “There is a hidden space in this chapel.”
“Hidden space?”
“To be precise, I think it would be good to say that it has a different side. “Do you know, Victor, that it’s a secret world?”
It’s the other side of the world.
You can’t know.
“Introduction to Dungeon Studies” Is a subject that requires a grade B or higher in the first semester of the second year.
But explaining it is another story.
Fortunately, Enio spoke for me.
“The other side of the world refers to a world that spans a different realm from reality. “It seems like there are at least two hidden worlds lurking in this ‘Chapel of Creation’.”
“I see.”
“One was in this basement. The basement where we defeated Priest Nokio. It was already a side world. “It was like a dungeon.”
“Then what about the other one? “I said at least two.”
Enio looked around at my question.
And then he speaks softly.
“I’m looking into it now. I’ve found almost everything, but if my predictions are correct, it’s probably very…”
It was when Enio was about to say something.
A crackling sound is heard, as if something is breaking.
“Is it over there?”
Chop chop chop.
Enio runs barefoot on the stone floor.
I also followed Enio.
There was a corridor built in the center of the temple. A corridor with grass and statues of gods placed here and there.
It looked like the priests were going for a walk, saying, “Let’s go for a quick cup of coffee.” However, what is unusual is that one part of the space is broken like a piece of glass.
“Is this the entrance to a dungeon?”
“As expected, Victor, I know very well. I guess I finally found it. It took a long time. If my prediction is correct, my brother is probably over there.”
“I see.”
Zek-.
Enio put his body through the space that looked like a broken window.
Perhaps because of its thin and slender body his, Enio disappeared smoothly without getting caught.
I also followed suit willingly.
When I enter the broken space, the first thing that greets me is the air so cold that my breath comes out.
After that, piles of decapitated statues of gods were seen here and there.
It had a similar appearance to the “Chapel of Creation” That had been there just a moment ago, but with mold growing here and there, blood splattered on the floor, and terrible cries being heard, it felt like a haunted house.
“Enio, are you really saying your brother is here?”
“Honestly, I don’t believe it either. “After coming here, my brother’s energy became even stronger.”
“It’s my brother’s energy.”
I’ve never felt anything like that.
It was a moment that made me wonder what kind of senses people who skillfully manipulate mana have.
Wow~!
At that time, something rushed towards us.
I drew my sword and quickly cut it down.
KEEN-!
Something that was cut in half with a sharp scream.
It was a strangely twisted dog.
To be precise, it is the shadow of a dog.
Such things appear here and there.
Crrrr
Crung-
“It looks like he’s not pleased with our arrival, Enio.”
“I guess so. But those guys are familiar with darkness. “I think I know for sure that my brother is somewhere in this darkness.”
Zek-.
Enio stretches out his hand.
It was a precursor to 《Shadow Wedge》.
“… Huh… !?”
But Enio seemed embarrassed.
Then, he looks at her palm and trembles.
“Why isn’t this coming out?”
“Is there some problem?”
“My strength is not listening. Victor, I don’t know what happened, but I need you to help me for a moment. Is that okay?”
Can you help me?
It is not difficult.
That’s why I stayed here in the first place.
“Of course this is a deal, Victor. If you help me, I will make sure you pay the right price.”
