The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 50



Only Krnovel

After about two hours of entering the poison swamp, I finally reached my destination.

Center of area C. A huge ant cave inhabited by swamp ants was visible. The poison mist didn’t do me any harm, as expected.

Just an unpleasant fine dust level. Of course, it’s so weak that you can’t even cough. After checking the equipment, I entered the entrance of the ant cave.

“It’s much bigger than I thought.”

A group of people turn around as soon as they sense they are popular. Why are all the insects, including the magic stone spiders, so big?

The ants rushed in, making strange noises. I carelessly threw the glass bead. Most people were shocked by the lightning explosion, but a few managed to reach me.

“What the heck.”

Of course it was pointless. She activated her lightning armor and wielded gauntlets wrapped in electricity. Without exception, those who had their heads hit were thrown against the wall. I didn’t forget that I was shocked by the electric current and was shaking.

I approach the guys who are unable to act and stab the soft part under their chin with a shovel.

The hunt is easily completed by stabbing the bugs that are spouting bright red blood one by one.

It smelled even worse than when I used it on people. I walked through the ant hole like that. I shot electricity at every ant I came across, and they were so happy that they died.

“Soldier ants? It feels the same.”

Of course, sometimes there were those who could withstand the explosion of glass beads. This one, which is much bigger than the normal ones, makes a ferocious sound and releases electric shocks before running towards you.

From then on, it was hand-to-hand combat. I avoided the sharp jaws that could even cut rocks and threw punches.

Since the shovel doesn’t work unless it’s a soft part, the gauntlet moves most of the time. Because it was running so wildly, it was impossible to attack accurately at vital points.

It only took a few hits of an electric fist to make it go limp, and then it was finished with the familiar shovel. It was a bit difficult with three soldier ants, so I had to use more glass beads.

Stamina is rapidly reduced by the Lightning Armor. It is much more economical than the Thunder Horn, but it is problematic to use for a long time.

I sat on the ant’s corpse and took a rest. I drank water and chewed on jerky to preserve my stamina. When I had recovered about half of my lost stamina, I felt an unusual vibration.

“It’s a pheromone.”

The guys who realized the death of their comrades were coming up with lights in their eyes.

The vibrations echoing through the cave are unusual. It is the largest number I have ever encountered. I hesitated for a moment. Should I use all the disposable glass beads? Or should I use the wedges?

“Don’t come back again.”

I decided to use a wedge. Since glass beads are disposable, I wanted to save them as much as possible. It’s a good idea to take a big hit this once, take a break, and then cool down.

Replenish your stamina and do maintenance before returning. So I took direction and called up the Bible. A soft glow filled the cave.

“The window is fine too.”

Instead of swinging it with a sword like usual, it was thrown with a spear. The cave wasn’t that big and it wasn’t like a cave, so there was no choice.

An elongated spear of lightning. I hurled my spear with all my might at the guys who were running at me without fear. The fiercely flying spear created quite a spectacular sight.

Those who were running at the front melted because they couldn’t withstand the intense heat, and the ones behind them were similar.

By the time I reached the end, I had lost most of my energy, but the horrible current was still blasting out in all directions.

The aftermath caused part of the cave to collapse. It was much more powerful than when used as a sword. I just drove the shovel into the necks of those who didn’t die from the first blow.

“Wow. smell.”

The unpleasant smell of coal made me frown. It was already unpleasant to have blood spilled over, so I wondered if it was really necessary to do this.

I cut off the tentacles of the dead ones, complaining with my mouth. I had a harder time cutting off the tentacles, which felt tough rather than hard.

I filled my backpack with everything and stacked them on top of each other. There was still a lot left, so I gathered it up and held it in both hands.

Even after doing this, there were still many corpses. I felt sorry for them and bit my lip, but I moved on, thinking that I could come back and collect them later.

I was excited to breathe the clean air outside the cave, but soon remembered the poisonous fog and became depressed.

“Let’s see. If you go south of the ant hole, you’ll see a lighthouse.”

The only place where you can rest in a dungeon called Poison Swamp. Although there was no poison fog, the concentration was low and there were no monsters, so it was a comfortable space to rest.

I walked around looking at the map I had received from the guide. The lighthouse I quickly found was quiet. It was a building that was growing old without any human footsteps.

I took a seat in front of the entrance to the lighthouse and took a proper rest. I quite liked the eerie coolness of the poisonous fog, but the dampness was a hidden danger.

Still, it wasn’t bad because I could relax and rest. I turned on the status window for the first time in a long time.

[Davide Duhane]

Gender: Male Grade: 2nd year Title: Apostle of Anaye Trait: Ancient Magic

Skill [Trace of Anaye] [Lv. 10] [Religion] [Apostle]

Traces of the ancient god, Anaye the thunder deer.

Born in a lake and raised drinking lightning, Anaye controls water and spits lightning. She takes special care of her first child.

―Blessing of Lake Palette: Water attribute resistance increases. Recovery increased by 60%.

– Thunder Horn: Increases resistance to thunder attribute. Consumes 30% of current health to leave a ‘Thunder Horn Mark’. ‘Thunder Horn Mark’ gives additional damage equal to 10% of maximum health.

– Anaye’s Lightning Wedge: Summon a wedge that deals damage equal to 60x your missing health.

For some reason, skill level up is slow. As I worked on making glass beads every day, I quickly reached level 10.

But even though it had been quite a while since then, there was no change in level.

“hmm?”

After about an hour, I felt eyes on me. There was nothing in sight. I got up and looked around, but all I could see was a thick forest.

After searching for a while, I saw red eyes in the middle of the grass. I laughed harshly. How could a mere animal open its eyes like that?

* * *

“They’re all dead.”

“Because I killed them all.”

In the end, my twin sister decided to accompany me. This is because the magic backpack can only be opened if the person has magical power.

Davide walked ahead, leaving a message to take care of it. She calmed down her worried brother and gave permission to the leader.

And then, following Davide, they arrived at the entrance to the ant hole. The twin sister shivered at the cold sensation she felt from the entrance.

Eventually, he came across a pile of corpses and stopped dead in his tracks. It was only then that I understood why I had suffered so much from Davide’s calm words.

“I’ll give you some, so cut off some of the antennae.”

“more… … Deum?”

“okay.”

Davide immediately started cutting off the corpse’s antennae. Soon he had his twin sister do the same.

The twin sister, who didn’t know why she had to carry the tentacles, tilted her head but moved steadily.

“Why the antennae?”

“Because it’s good material.”

“Material?”

“Oh, I’m going to make it into clothes.”

“?”

The answer to the question is quick. However, the content is not very satisfying. How can you make clothes out of that tough and hard stuff?

I can understand harvesting exoskeletons to make armor, but I can’t imagine the feelers at all.

I was curious, but it didn’t seem like there would be an easy answer.

“It’s scary.”

“Is that so?”

It’s horrible. At first glance, it felt that way. If you look at it one way, they’re enemies, but seeing so many dead bodies gives me an unpleasant feeling.

I think I can smell blood through the gas mask. The condition of the bodies was better than I thought. Of course, there were many that were grotesquely distorted or had sunken heads, but most of them were intact.

The problem is that he lost too much blood. To this extent, I suspect he died from excessive bleeding.

After about 10 minutes, all the antennae were collected from the first pile.

“Are you going now?”

“No. You have to do this five more times.”

“Ah. Yes? Huh?”

I was surprised to hear it number five. It is said that there are five more piles of corpses like this. How on earth did they deal with these vicious guys?

“How did you do it?”

“It’s a weakness attribute. “As you know, I mainly use electric properties.”

“I don’t know… … .”

“Was that so? Well, anyway, that’s what happened.”

In the first place, the day we first met through Acid Gecko, he didn’t show anything special.

Davide tilted his head, wondering if that was the case, but did not stop walking.

“By the way, what is your name?”

“… … It’s Lera.”

“Lera? “It’s unique.”

“Lera. This is Lera Gatti.”

Lera felt a little confused. Of course, it wasn’t because of the name. Because his attitude is too light.

It was as if he was going out for a walk somewhere. I don’t feel like I’m in that infamous ant hole.

Is this person the type that doesn’t feel threatened if their reputation is weaker than theirs? It was a convincing argument.

“Was the electric property this effective?”

“Insects are basically bad at using fire and electricity.”

It doesn’t seem to be at that level. Lera, who has some knowledge of hunting, immediately noticed that the ant was shocked and had a vital spot pierced.

The range is very wide. If it’s something you’ve done multiple times, it’s an attack that can be done continuously, but if not, it’s powerful enough to cause this state all at once.

“How about the capacity?”

“There’s about half left.”

“That’s enough.”

We took a short break just after clearing the fourth pile. Davide was fine, but Lera was struggling.

Davide, who knew the wizard’s physical abilities, sat down without saying anything.

“Um, are you really okay with the poison fog?”

“Oh. It’s okay. Should I call it resistance? There’s something like that.”

“resistance?”

Even though she had heard about it from him in advance at the lighthouse, she couldn’t help but be worried. Lera asked again, feeling worried.

Whenever poison is mentioned, tolerance naturally comes to mind. However, the word resistance is a bit unfamiliar.

He waved his hand, saying he had nothing more to say to Lera, who was staring blankly in curiosity.

“Don’t gas masks block smells either?”

“Yes, as far as I know, that is true.”

“I’m glad.”

“… …Why is that?”

Now I’m starting to get scared. There is nothing that is not amazing. I can wander around this ant cave by myself.

He has the ability to do so and is even calm in this chaos. I thought there was something unusual about Acid Gekko, but I feel like this is a bit excessive.

“this… … what.”

The last pile to arrive after resting. The place had a different atmosphere than before. It’s more than everything I’ve seen so far combined.

There are more bodies than that. In more diverse ways.

The first thing I saw was something like molten rock. It was only when I got closer and noticed the strange color that I realized it was a molten ant.

The next thing you see is what you’ve seen so far. Only at the end of the massacre did Lera realize that this was a scene created by technology alone.

You can see things that have been torn apart by the storm. It’s a scene of absurd destruction. The extent of the damage is so severe that there is nothing left to collect.

“This place is a mess.”

There was regret in the calm tone. It was much more dangerous than I thought. This was a beast hunt. If the person who created this situation was so relaxed, I could understand.

What on earth is Winter who maintains a close relationship with this guy? Have the people who were talking about this person as incompetent trash have gone overboard?

“Did you get everything?”

“……yes.”

“okay. Let’s go now. “Originally, I was just going to give you antennae, but I’ll just give you knuckles.”

“ah… … no.”

“huh?”

Davide looked curiously at Lera, who inadvertently objected. If he worked, he must pay the appropriate price.

Even simple tasks like gathering and storing things were a great help. I also benefited from a nice item called a magic backpack.

“Don’t give up. “It is a price commensurate with the labor.”

“Uh… … Yes. Thank you.”

Davide was puzzled. He didn’t feel like turning that down. Davide and Lera returned to the lighthouse.

Lera’s backpack was too heavy, so Davide carried it instead. Lera insisted on carrying it herself, but in the end, David had to hand it over to him.

I had to feel an inexplicable creepiness in that expressionless face. Is it really this scary to be considered?

She has come to support the strange life of Winter, whom she is now becoming friends with.
