I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 430



430 – Disaster #2

430 – Disaster #2

“I feel like I was tricked.”

Enio said.

He had decided to tell us about the weaknesses of the God of Dice, but when the situation arose, he changed his words to ‘I can’t tell you, but I will introduce you to someone who knows.’

It was natural to feel like I had been deceived.

“There are no other options.”

I consoled the slightly upset party members.

When trying to board the gondola again to meet the being called ‘disaster’.

Dododo – The imps that followed us meet us.

“Victor, a foreigner… ! Just be careful…!”

“This Nyarnyar is cheering… !”

Both the underground imps and the nymphs above ground were noisy.

And no matter what happens, I can’t hate you.

Gargar said.

“When that guy gets close, you hear a sound like a sharp piece of metal scraping the floor… ! So it’s better to be careful… !”

“Okay, I understand. Well then, take care everyone.”

I said a quick goodbye to the imps and then boarded the gondola.

According to information, the ‘disaster’ is said to be located on the 36th floor.

Ironically, it seemed that he existed on the 36th floor, which I had not been able to visit.

Grumble, rumble-.

The gondola goes up.

How much time has passed?

The gondola owner named Charon opened his bony mouth.

━Arrived. It is on the 36th floor. There is no need to pay a separate fee.

Was it a free ride?

Good.

Giririririk-.

When the gondola door opened, what looked like a vast temple could be seen beyond it.

A dark and desolate temple.

The floor is marble.

Likewise, a wall made of marble had a mural engraved on it that looked like someone had carved it with clumsy workmanship.

Looking at it, Victoria, who was intrigued by the mythical elements, reacted.

“It appears to be an extension of the mural painted at the Gates of Hell? This is the story after demons and evil spirits were trapped in Tartarus. If you look here, it looks like they were trapped underground and fighting each other.”

The mural painted at the location where Victorica’s finger pointed the loons killing and eating each other.

In this underground place where the light is dim.

Those trapped there would have had no choice but to eat each other.

“Then, the seven people who seemed to be the strongest underground made an agreement. Look here. There are 7 thrones, right? There is also a bat woman who looks like the Almighty King and Asmodeus that I just saw.”

Are these the thrones we saw in the Hall of the Almighty King earlier?

“And I guess they decided to draw lots among themselves and eat the person chosen for food. If you look here, a person who resembles a fish has been chosen among the seven thrones.”

“It’s Dagon.”

I heard that those trapped in Tartarus do not die even if they die.

Dagon was chosen by lot and was to be eaten as food forever.

It was somewhat similar to what I expected.

Victorica, who found out the full story of everything, makes a strange snorting sound.

“Looking at it this way, I feel a little sorry for that horrible fish monster. Still, it doesn’t seem to change that it’s terrible.”

“That’s right.”

“Who would have thought that these facts would be buried underground? The murals you see here, no, the existence of Tartarus is the revolution itself that will turn the world of historical academia on earth upside down.”

As Victorica was admiring, she quietly listened to her story and Nike interjected.

“Contrary to what Viktor scared, Tartarus was a better place than I thought. People looked strange, but it didn’t seem like there were only bad people. I thought that all demons who were defeated by the gods were bad, villain-like people. But when I actually met him, that wasn’t the case. The imps are nice too.”

It was as Nike evaluated.

Contrary to the assessment that it was hell, the 40th floor Pandemonium we arrived at was a city itself where people gathered and lived.

Although it cannot be evaluated as ‘ordinary’.

However, it didn’t seem like a place that was completely far from the opposite s*x.

At that time, Enio opens his mouth.

“Just losing the war was enough to become a villain. In this world of entertainment, the concept of distinction between good and evil is not clear, and only the winner is justice. It is a world where only the winners are recorded.”

That’s right.

Games are generally a winner-takes-all world.

This is especially true in a world that promotes entertainment.

The only important point is that the gods of the pantheon, including the god of dice, won the war against the gods of Tartarus, including the Almighty King.

Enio said.

“If we lose, it’s all over.” If you win, you will get everything. But I can’t take it lightly. The being called Almighty King. He was worthy of being called a god. Even more than the Knicks.”

Enio has a deep connection with divine beings.

So it seemed like I felt more about the presence of the Almighty King.

“That kind of being was defeated by the God of Dice. I can’t tell how strong the god of dice is or what his limits are. So, it is important to find out what the weaknesses are here.”

Enio’s solemn voice echoes through the walls of the empty temple.

* * *

Ttogak, ttogak-.

It was now the time when only the faint sound of our footsteps could be heard in the vast and dark temple.

I heard the sound of something scraping.

It was the sound of something sharp being dragged across the marble floor.

Suddenly, I remembered what Gargar had said.

When you hear the sound of something sharp scraping on the floor, be careful because a ‘disaster’ will appear.

It was said that the imps who went to the upper floors to look for food ran away without looking back when they heard this scratching sound. Rather, we headed toward the sound.

Drurrrr

When the sound of sharp metal scraping on the floor becomes louder and our heartbeats become similarly loud.

Finally, a corner appeared that turned to the left.

“…”

None of us said a word, but we each held our weapons or clenched our fists in tension. So, it finally turned to the left and Excalibur’s brilliant light illuminated the darkness.

“… ?”

What appeared before my eyes was a dead end wall.

A dead-end wall with a mural painted on it.

“… What is it?”

I thought there must be something called ‘disaster’ here.

Nike screams when she feels puzzled.

“Victor! Above!!!”

Rather than raising my head, I raised my sword first.

It was instinct.

If I didn’t do that, I felt like my head would fall off and I would die.

Oh my gosh-!!!

“Ugh!”

Something heavy is heading towards Excalibur.

Wouldn’t Sisyphus, who was carrying the sky on his back, feel this way?

No, was Sisyphus the one who infinitely pushed the rock up the mountain, and was it Atlas who lifted the sky?

My head doesn’t turn well due to strong shock.

The reason I’m thinking about Sisyphus, Atlas, and other useless things in this situation is probably because my brain, which was shocked beyond my expectations, activated a cooldown to ignore the pain.

Paaang-!

Like a nail hit by a hammer, the strong impact made me fly and hit the wall.

“Heo-eok-.”

Perhaps because I hit my back, all the air in my lungs was suddenly thrown out of my mouth.

“Victor!”

“Victor! Are you okay!?”

Nikega Enio shouted.

At that time, Victorica said, “There is no time to worry about Victor! “The next attack is coming!” She said, unfolding her mana shield. Soon, the strong sound of the strike rings in my ears.

─Beep.

I woke up with tinnitus ringing in my ears.

My hands are tingling.

If Nike hadn’t sensed the surprise attack with her sense of the wild and quickly shouted out, my body would have been crushed to dust.

“Is it a real monster?”

Dagon and Asmodeus are strong enough to be dismissed as ‘something like’.

Even in Tartarus, which is full of monsters and demons, this strong man is called ‘Calamity’.

「Lv, ? Disaster

HP : ?

?. ?. ?.」

Maybe it feels like this.

His outward appearance seemed surprisingly like an ordinary human being.

Two arms and legs each.

A characteristic feature is the robe, which is covered in blood and flesh and is tattered like an old piece of rag.

Was this monster living on the 36th floor, a place I could never reach?

I didn’t even think about it.

“Before Cain, I never thought I would meet a swordsman stronger than Orca.”

I stood up using my sword as a cane.

Pain is vomited out along with breathing.

A breath that erases everything from your mind other than cutting down the opponent.

I gave this the name “Myunggyeongjisu”.

The effect is simple.

It allows you to focus only on combat.

“Arclight Ryu-.”

It was when I put the holy sword into its scabbard and adjusted my posture.

“Oh! “I’m heading towards Victor again!”

Nike shouted urgently.

As soon as I came to my senses, heavy attacks rushed towards me again.

Twaeeeeeong-!!!

What disaster was holding an old miscellaneous sword.

A sword with teeth missing and cracks here and there.

But it feels heavier than any other famous sword.

Creak, creak-.

The hilt of Excalibur screams.

This was simple ‘violence’ rather than ‘swordsmanship’.

It’s just technology and nothing else.

“Damn it!”

Wow-.

Strengthen your molars and legs and use all your strength to ward off disaster.

Paaat-.

He was pushed back with all his might.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, I delivered Excalibur and pulled out Arondite.

An indestructible sword.

If this is the case, it will be able to withstand violent attacks.

“Arclight type─.”

Pabat-.

Just as I was about to cast the skill, disaster leapt forward again and an old sword aimed at my shoulder.

I twisted my shoulder to avoid it and became convinced of one hypothesis.

“… “Of course.”

Although I expected it during the first attack attempt.

It became clear that the attack was thwarted the second time.

“Are you familiar with Arclight swordsmanship? What is it?”

There was no way I could answer the question.

It seemed like everything else than ‘cutting down the opponent’ had been erased from the mind of the man standing in front of me.

A madman wandering Tartarus.

I just fight him with all my might.

In essence, dialogue is not necessary for prosecutors.
