The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student - Chapter 146



Episode 146. smoke screen (1)

It was really more breathtaking than I thought.

But, in the end, I persevered.

Wow!!

“… … .”

He stared at the roaring orcs running towards him.

Just before the knife came to my throat.

took a step forward

at the same time.

Paaa… !!

Waves of red fresh blood spread out in concentric circles around me.

This attack, which was attempted by gathering the remaining energy up to the soul, tore the orc warriors who were rushing vigorously from all sides to shreds.

“Kureuk!?”

“aaah!!”

The blood spread in the shape of an awl lightly pierced the skin of the Orc warriors who were not prepared for anything.

Hooded!

The chunks of meat that made up their bodies rolled on the ground indiscriminately.

Normally it would have been a terrifying sight, but to me it looked a little different.

A smile came to his lips.

Now, each of those things will become my life force.

“what… .”

The surviving warriors gulped and muttered stutteringly.

Embarrassed look.

This was no different than Balak.

No, rather more.

At the point of mobilizing the warriors, he was already certain of victory, but when the situation turned strange, he couldn’t hide his confusion.

he asked with a firm expression.

“Could it be that you were a wizard too?”

“If it’s magic, it’s magic.”

The principle is different, but it is true that it is an unknown phenomenon in the eyes of others.

“Then why, in the first place… .”

asked Balak, stuttering. Then why didn’t you write it in the first place?

“Think about it yourself.”

I didn’t give a clear answer.

Instead, he prepared a ceremony.

Charleuk!

Countless bloody rings began to weave in the air behind me.

“… !”

Perhaps because of the effects of the previous attack, even though it was still a long way from being activated, the orcs were startled and flinched.

“… … .”

Taking advantage of a brief lull, I glanced at Yuriel and Ian.

Fortunately, the two of them had just taken advantage of the turmoil and moved to a place far away from the aftermath of the battle.

‘Nice job. thank god.’

From the vampire’s point of view, both of them seemed harmless to life, and if they were this far apart, they wouldn’t have to worry about getting caught up in a fight.

I walked slowly and spoke to Balak, who was standing there blankly.

“It will be different now.”

He was startled for a moment, but then returned with a calm expression and replied,

“You mean that body? It was obviously powerful magic, but still… .”

“yet?”

He reached out his hand as he spoke.

Then, as if going backwards in time, all the blood that had soaked into the floor and the pooled blood rose into the air.

Whoo!

All this bloody water soon turned into a red mist and was absorbed into my body.

Crunchy.

In an instant, the broken left arm was attached.

My stamina fell to the bottom and my blurry vision became clearer.

All the small scars that had filled his body had completely disappeared.

“… under?”

Recovery is too fast.

So, this was close to ‘regeneration’.

No matter how much Balak was, he was dumbfounded when he witnessed such an absurd phenomenon right in front of his eyes.

“What are you doing now… ! Priests! No, it can’t be a priest?”

“I said Ballack.”

Took.

took one more step

In my hand, I was gripping a sword that radiated aura of resentment.

“It will be different now.”

“… !”

The moment I finished speaking, I moved right away.

The body felt light as if it could fly.

Perong!

Almost flying, I approached the warriors and swung a sword forged in blood.

A red line is drawn in the air.

Suddenly, an eerie cutting sound rang out.

Awesome!

“Kureuk… !?”

Right after that, the heads of the three warriors right in front of me flew through the air.

Blood gushed from the cut cross section.

They looked unaware of their own death until the moment they died.

“after.”

I rubbed my forehead in confusion for a moment.

After all, maintaining a lunar eclipse at the same time as deploying an advanced spell consumed an enormous amount of life force.

However, for now, this level of consumption was more than enough to handle.

‘It was a mistake.’

I don’t know if it was before nightfall.

Orc warriors who hadn’t reached a certain level were just lunch boxes for my recovery.

Hwaaak!

As I stretched out my hand and absorbed the life force, the dead orcs dried up and twisted.

“Chwiik!!”

“… Kill!”

As their kin met a terrible death, the warriors rushed at them.

But now it’s no match.

This is because, of course, their strength has risen to an equal level.

Awesome!

Dark red blood splatters.

Every time a red line was drawn in the air, several lives were lost.

Chow!

The 100 orcs died quickly, and the vicious cycle of being replaced by vitality was repeated.

‘Once more.’

Based on the life force absorbed in that way, it attacked once more in a wide area.

Because it was a one-time attack, the warriors protected themselves by raising demonic energy, but they could not completely block it.

This was because, unlike the first attack, where he collected the remaining life force, this attack had plenty of room.

Paaa… !

The number of Orcs, which had reached one hundred, had shrunk to less than half.

said to Balak.

“Are you still not leaving?”

“… Shut up.”

After looking at the situation for a while, he stepped out again.

At this time, his expression clearly showed an emotion that could be called alert, but he was not pessimistic about the situation.

Because the attack using blood didn’t work on him with tough skin.

So even if you knew now that the other person was hiding their power, in the end, you think that nothing has changed from the beginning.

“It’s just leftovers!”

Well, that’s true at first glance.

This level of power cannot pierce his tough skin, which has been strengthened by magic and authority.

It was a fact I already knew. So, I prepared something else.

In order to deal with a corps commander who boasts a formidable defensive power like Balak.

‘It’s not long.’

I glanced back and checked the development of the spell, thinking.

Then, Balak rushed in.

He let out a tingling roar and swung his axe.

Kaang!!!!

I blocked it with ease.

No, it didn’t end with blocking.

The savage energy of the lunar eclipse even gnawed at Balak’s demonic energy and corroded the tip of the ax blade black.

“… !?”

Balak, stunned, hurriedly drew the axe.

And I thought for a while.

His mood changed.

“Whoa. Chwik!”

Always take a deep breath.

He had good pronunciation for an Orc, so he made a chirping sound that he didn’t normally make.

I immediately recognized what it was.

Balak has many abilities suitable for battle, befitting a monster that has reached the pinnacle of the fighting race.

this is one of them

‘Berring.’

Balak’s unique ability to gain combat instinct and strength at the expense of reason.

The moment he uses berserk, even the distinction between enemies disappears, so he doesn’t usually use it either.

He seemed to have decided that now was not the time to pursue such a thing.

“Kwaaa!”

Balak let out a roar.

A hazy haze of thick demonic energy rose from him.

‘hmm? ah… .’

It was the first time I had seen it, but somehow I felt familiar.

I soon realized what it was.

‘It’s like this.’

Perhaps, it seemed that Balak had manifested several characteristics inherent in him.

It seemed that the characteristics in the game were implemented that way in real life.

“… … .”

[Overclock] that allows you to temporarily exert power beyond the limit.

[Spirit of a Fighter] improves concentration in one-on-one situations.

[Combat Healing], which dramatically increases recovery speed during battle.

Starting with berserk, these different characteristics continued to overlap.

As these are characteristics that exist only for combat, the effect is temporary, but at this time, it makes Balak an untouchable existence.

“Kyaaa!!!!”

As if he knew that too, he rushed at me screaming like a beast.

thud! thud! thud!

Balak reached right in front of his nose in the blink of an eye while shaking the ground.

The guy hit the axe.

Wow!!!!

Indeed, he is the leader of the Orc Corps.

The tremendous force made my knees bend even though it was close to midnight.

“Cool!”

The intense shock that ripped through my insides made me cry and vomit dead blood.

“… !”

Balak, who was in a berserker state after seeing the red blood, became even more excited and went wild.

bang! Kwak!

The attack pattern was still visible, but even so, I couldn’t control it at all because it went crazy like this.

Incredible attack power.

Healing speed and whatever, at this rate, he could not have lasted a few rounds and could have been crushed to death by that blunt ax blade.

But, I laughed nonetheless.

It was the same reason as before.

Stealing the blood from the corner of his mouth, he said to the guy who had already gone blind.

“It’s too late.”

“… … !!!!”

If I was going to decide, I should have done it sooner.

That is, before completing the ceremony.

charleuk!!

The last bloody rings were united.

It soon turned into a dark red mist and was naturally absorbed by me.

Bubble bubble!

Power boils.

I said, barely holding back the spirit that seemed to spit out anything.

“… Because ‘Overdrive’ has nothing for us to bow down to?”

The drink of forced berserk.

It’s a skill I learned over a long period of time to deal with a corps commander with an insane level of weight like Ballack.

“Huh, uh.”

My eyes were stained bright red.

A hot breath escapes from his teeth.

Thick veins stood on his forearms and forehead.

“… … .”

“… … .”

For a moment, our eyes met each other.

We ran straight into each other.

No matter who it was, howling like a savage beast.

deep in the forest.

“… … !!!”

Even though it was in the midst of an urgent battle, Luna raised her head in surprise.

Fit!

The wind slashed his cheek, but he had no time to care about it now.

After widening the distance with Noah, she stroked her forearm.

‘… What was it? just now.’

If it’s not an illusion, something just swept through my body once.

Something very outrageous.

Swallowing in anxiety, Luna raised her head.

“hmm?”

In her eyes, there was a mixed-race figure with rounded lips.

It was a change at a level that was difficult to recognize, but at first glance it seemed like a smile.

Seeing that, Luna recalled an ominous imagination.

‘… no way!?’

I wonder if the enemy was really aiming for the orcs, not us.

* * *

In a state where each other went berserk, the battle was almost boiling.

I couldn’t beat Balak’s strength and speed, and Balak didn’t have the dexterity to land the decisive blow.

A battle that draws parallel lines.

But soon, inevitably, the end came.

The factor that put an end to this tense battle was none other than ‘time’.

Unlike me, who became increasingly active as midnight approached, Balak collapsed rapidly due to the recoil when the duration of berserk was over.

Caan!!

Balak’s arm gripping the ax swung up with a dull metallic sound.

he is out of power

As there was an overwhelming difference between me and him in technique, this meant the end of a long battle.

“It’s not over yet!”

Ballack did not lose his fighting spirit to the end, but the result was not affected.

The berserk ended on time.

At the same time, Balak’s muscles, which had been swollen like a monster, lost their strength, like air being blown out of a balloon.

at last.

Awesome!

“Keuk… !?”

Red blood splattered in front of my eyes.

and.

coo… !!

Balak collapsed helplessly.
