The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 85



Only Krnovel

Strange gazes were gathered. While I was walking, I felt thirsty and drank some water. That small action caught everyone’s attention.

They all looked envious. I could sense that they were longing for that cool refreshing feeling. I quickly grabbed my water bottle.

“Are you immune to poison? “It’s fascinating.”

“It’s not exactly immunity, but it’s similar.”

The vice-captain’s words were full of curiosity. Looking at their behavior, the notoriety of this poisonous swamp was keenly felt.

To be honest, the by-products of the poisonous swamp are good. Most of it comes only from poisonous swamps, and the supply is very small, so the price is high.

It was all because of the poisonous fog that existed in the poisonous swamp. If you can neutralize or free the poisonous fog, it will be quite desirable.

“Is it something you were born with?”

“I got half of it by becoming the leader of the Anaye Church.”

“oh.”

The vice-captain was coveting my ability to be free from the poison fog. She was aghast at my words.

He seemed troubled, wondering if it was simply a sincere believer’s delusion or an unbelievable truth.

“That’s too bad.”

“The Imperial Knights could not believe in religion.”

“yes. The only thing we believe in and must believe in is the imperial family. “There is a state religion, though.”

The vice-captain smiled brightly and said. It wasn’t visible because it was covered by a gas mask, but the gentle tone and flowing words made it feel that way.

In general, the imperial family did not believe in religion. It’s not that they deny the existence, but they have no loyalty or belief in that god.

The fact that they designated the Lofty Church as the state religion was all part of politics. To take advantage of the prestige of the Church of Charity.

“It’s almost here.”

The closer you get to the center of the poison swamp, the blacker the vegetation becomes.

The strong poisonous fog turned the entire surroundings into poison, and the plants that tenaciously adapted to it were mostly black.

At the end of Area D. The deputy commander noticed that the trees had become so black that not even a single grain could be seen, and warned the group.

The Imperial Knights each took up their weapons and prepared thoroughly. They had arrived safely so far, but they were prepared just in case.

“Wow~ It’s hard~”

In contrast to the tension, Canis was completely calm. He came walking half-as-flying and groaned, even though he wasn’t tired.

“You’re not having a hard time.”

He scolded her with his eyes wide open. Canis nodded toward the Imperial Knights. He laughed in vain at the words that he was trying to make a fuss.

“You devil guy.”

I pressed the guy’s head hard. The guy, who had been staggering from the strong force, flailed around in the air. He was floating in the air so he didn’t fall.

“Im here.”

The scenery changed abruptly with the vice-captain’s words. A black lake. The water itself was transparent, but the soil beneath it was black, so it looked that way.

There was a small hill in the middle of a lake whose depth could not be gauged. It was a small hill that would feel full if about four adults stood on it.

There was a giant sitting on that hill. A giant with rugged muscles that look like they were carved out of black rock.

“The author.”

“Yes, I am the master of the poisonous swamp.”

The boss monster of the dungeon. Unlike other vicious monsters, it is a strange figure that does not attack humans.

He was about 4 meters tall, with his black hair tied tightly. He had his eyes closed and was motionless, like a statue.

The name called in the game is [Traitor, Shh]. Since there is no related story, I don’t know why he is a traitor.

Rather, he had a much gentler personality than other guys, and was called ‘the guy next door’ in the community.

-Are you here?

A huge sound that fills the lake. Just hearing the words sent ripples through the lake. Xu stood up.

Even his slow movements draw attention. The muscles and scars that fill his entire body show that his life has not been easy.

It was overwhelming. I thought someone would burst out of their shells with a punch. Shiga slowly approached.

“The one you seek has been brought to you.”

The vice-captain stepped forward first. He completely took on the presence that towered over the front of the group. The giant looked down at the vice-captain with his ashen eyes.

As I got closer, I saw something. There were cracks here and there on the giant’s body. It looked like porcelain on the verge of breaking.

―He who has wings. You did my request well. Thank you.

“It looks like you’ve found what you’re looking for.”

-That’s right. I can’t help but know this energy.

The giant approached slowly. He stood at a distant height and exuded strong energy even though he did not do anything in particular.

“I heard you were looking for me?”

The giant treated the vice-captain with kindness. Fortunately, it seemed like there would be no fight. I stepped forward confidently.

Even though the giant heard me, he just stared without reacting.

-Do you remember me?

“what?”

-You haven’t changed.

The gazes of the companions poured in. I was equally confused. The giant treated me as if he had met me before.

Canis’s gaze changed dramatically. The vice-captain also had a similar face. They all felt an inexplicable sense of betrayal.

I felt wronged. I could guess the general identity of the person, but he was someone I could never get involved with.

“Is this my first time seeing you?”

-hmm. is it.

Canis came closer and grabbed my collar. Feeling aggrieved, I turned my head towards Canis for a moment, embarrassed.

“A past colleague by any chance? “Is Dabi finally abandoning his colleagues?”

“… … How low do you want to bring me down?”

“But, aren’t those giant’s eyes full of longing?”

I looked at the giant’s face without thinking. The gray eyes are half dead. It was an emotionless eye that felt nothing.

There was no such thing as longing anywhere. I looked back at Canis with my brow furrowed with all my might.

“Can I feel it?”

“Noisy. “It’s my first time seeing this.”

I dismissed Canis’ words and looked at the vice-captain. He was frustrated that his face was hidden behind a gas mask. He couldn’t help but look up at the giant.

“Have you seen me?”

-of course. You have the same face.

“This is driving me crazy. Did we see each other when we were kids?”

No matter how much I searched my memory, nothing came to mind. When I asked if it was the guy I met when Davide was young, I got a strange answer.

-We met when I was a child.

“… … “You’re kidding, right?”

The surroundings sank in an instant. The exact age of the giant is unknown, but it was clear that the giant had easily lived past the lifespan of a human.

I don’t know what species it is, but such a large species does not exist in the current empire. It is said that when such a bastard was young, he saw me.

“Do you know student Davide?”

―He who has wings. I have no obligation to answer you any further, but you deserve respect for your hard work. Before answering, he does not use the name Davide.

The vice-captain stepped forward and tried to point out the strange point. The giant didn’t seem to like the vice-captain’s involvement in the conversation.

However, the giant eventually respected the vice-captain. Of course, what he said next wasn’t helpful at all.

“Student Davide?”

“Vice-Chief. I feel so wronged.”

“… … I know that.”

The vice-captain responded awkwardly. When I heard the answer that I was unreliable, I went crazy and started jumping up and down. The back of her head felt tingly.

-The stars guided you. This too is fate.

I was annoyed by the unfamiliar sounds that kept coming up. Are all the ancient giants like this?

Thinking that there would be no more conversation, I took something out of my arms. It was a red book.

-that.

“Do you know?”

-of course. This is a story about my mistakes and life.

The Red Book was an autobiography that Winter had gotten from the twins. The character that appeared in it was Anash. She always carried it with her.

I had a suspicion from the time I first heard the story from the vice-captain, and my prediction was right.

“I have something to ask.”

-What is it?

“Did you really kill Anaye?”

The group was startled by my words, especially Kanis and the vice-captain, who were well aware of Anaye’s existence.

Anash nodded to my question.

-right. Everything written on it is the truth.

“The reason is?”

-It’s because I’m lacking.

I frowned at Anash’s words.

“That’s not what I want to hear.”

The vice-captain flinched at the harsh words that were spat out curiously. Contrary to the vice-captain’s worries, Anash did not show much agitation.

―[Magus]. ​​The male and female of ‘The One Who Fell Stars’.

“… … .”

It finally feels real now. The final boss of [Difficult Dungeon]. The final boss before Berenice, the Black Curtain.

The name of the group that the mastermind was a part of was [Magus]. ​​And the mastermind’s nickname was ‘The One Who Fell the Stars’.

―I’d like to share my memories, but I don’t have time left.

Suddenly the giant turned around. And he headed towards the hill where he was originally sitting. We could only watch in silence.

“Doesn’t that self-indulgent look just like Dabi?”

“Do you have multiple lives?”

I tried to grab Canis’ head, which was touching it without notice.

I was about to punch him in the head, but Canis quickly dodged and hid behind the vice-captain.

“It’s one?”

“… … “Come here, you.”

The deputy commander, who had become a shield, awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

I sighed softly. What was important was what Anash said. If you think about it, it seems like Anaye died due to a dark conspiracy.

-thud.

The vice-captain, who was trying to order the Imperial Knights to rest, stumbled greatly. Suddenly the ground shook.

The tremors seemed to grow louder and suddenly created a large crack in the lake. The group took care of their bodies skillfully.

“What is that?”

The vibrations that had continued for a long time stopped. I looked around to figure out the situation. There was a building I had never seen before in the middle of the lake.

The hill in the middle of the lake had disappeared, and a temple-like building with open sides had risen up. A path extended from the temple and led to the end of the lake.

“building?”

―You who were born from lightning. Come here.

The giant called me along with the vice-captain’s question. I felt cold. I don’t know why he only called me.

“Vice-captain.”

“Yes, Student Davide.”

“Something. By the way.”

The ground shook and something kept rising from under the lake. Smoothly cut stones filled the lake one by one.

Half of the lake was filled, so there was more space to step on. I mumbled in discomfort, but the giant waited silently in the center of the lake.

“Let’s go.”

I nodded to the vice-captain’s words. This wasn’t something that could be resolved by confronting him like this. Some kind of progress was needed.

The vice-captain and the Imperial Knights took the lead. They raised their senses as they each grabbed their weapons.

-Only those born of lightning can come.

But we never moved forward together. As we stepped on the steps, we were suddenly thrown away.

We were all thrown off the platform, feeling more like we had been swept away by a wave than hit by something.

except me.

“… … .”

I approached the group who had risen from their seats with bewildered expressions. A transparent wall appeared, dividing us. We were now trapped, for sure.

“This is what happened?”

“… … How rude, Master of the Lake.”

The vice-captain snapped at her fiercely. She was getting angry without responding. The magic power that responded to the vice-captain’s emotions surged fiercely.

-Winged One. This is a ritual that must be performed. No outsiders are allowed to interfere.

“He is our guest. It is our duty and mission to protect him.”

-I understand your position. However, this is an inevitable fate. If you really consider him a distinguished guest, trust him.

The vice-captain immediately created an orb. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and a window of ice appeared in the air.

When the vice-captain gestured, the ice spear flew sharply away. However, the ice spear hit the transparent membrane and shattered.

“Conceptual defense. This is difficult~”

“Conceptual Defense.”

“Yes, this seems to bounce off everything except for the ones that were pre-entered. It’s a type of ancient barrier.”

Canis is a great wizard, but not as good as the Vice-Captain. However, the only thing that Canis is better at than the Vice-Captain is ancient magic.

Canis lived with great enthusiasm, seeing the ancient magic that even the Vice-Captain, who had lived much longer as a fairy, had not seen.

Canis immediately realized the identity of the barrier.

-Come here. Come and meet your destiny.

“I’m a little annoyed right now.”

-The method is crude. I’m sorry.

I was dumbfounded when I saw him handing me an apple so coolly. At first glance, it looked like he was pleading. He walked away as if he couldn’t do anything.

The giant’s attitude of showing no hostility was taken.

-My name is Xu. Traitor, Anash. He lived as a great warrior in the past, but was unable to overcome his delusion and killed his mother.

As he drew closer, the giant’s voice grew louder. It changed from a shout to a scolding, and then to a pledge.

-Come, brother. This name I received from you. I’ve waited a thousand years to give it to you again. Hurry and cut down my sinful self and reach the end.
