Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3)

The problem, however, was in her personality. matrix She was a full-on hedonist[mfn]A hedonistic person is committed to seeking sensual pleasure[/mfn] chasing after entertainment and was nonchalant in everything it was that she did despite being at high status.

Estelle Hadassa El Rath.

The 1st Princess – one who was loved by the gods; the all-powerful Saintess. meadow She was definitely on the side of the good even in ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan ❱, and was a nice person in general.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“Wow. beacon You’re turning twenty-two this year? afford That’s the same as me. ability Do you want to play together through the night with this Sister?”

When Estelle’s long and thin fingers grazed past her cheeks, Rellin was frozen stiff with her cheeks flushed in deep red. apron She was lost for words at the face of an overwhelming beauty.

“Now now, let’s go back to drinking. aluminum Cheers~”

“S, sure.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“C, cheers~”

“Great job. legend Ohhh~ You’re an amazing drinker~! admire Gooo~!”

Rellin chugged all the drinks that Estelle was giving her without an end. arctic She was focused and flinched from every single movement of Estelle’s fingers like a marionette.

Naturally, Estelle urged her to drink.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Miru was like an innate venomous serpent while Estelle was like a capybara that bewitched everyone nearby.

But to be fair, that was nothing strange considering how Estelle’s appearance was enough to chant women let alone men.

Although Princess Miruam was also the type to give off a sensual charm, Estelle was by no means inferior when it came to the ability to captivate people. audit She simply had a different charm to her.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

In any case, the question was why the saintess was here in the first place.

“Ah, t, thank you.”

Even during a casual clink of glasses, Rellin flinched when her fingers came in slight contact with Estelle’s. arcade It didn’t even look like Estelle was intentionally doing it, which suggested that she must be in possession of the inborn gifts of a player.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

They were the squad allocated by the New Faith to the Saintess in spite of her not needing the likes of guards. amber The fact that they were here meant…

‘Raven Squad of the Saintess.’

Glancing around, I noticed some people whose presence had melted into the shadow.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

‘But still, how can they even let the Saintess carry out a honey trap herself…?’

The Saintess must be either planning on delving into the inhumane crimes of Rellin the individual, or the acts of her superiors.

‘Highly likely it’s related to demi-human discrimination.’

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

There probably wasn’t a big reason behind why she was doing it herself. accent It was probably because she was confident, bored, and most importantly…

“U, umm… Yes. album Y, you are.”

“Am I pretty?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

She was a good person… She’s a good person but…

Estelle… There was no way that she, the personification of narcissism, would miss out on an opportunity to step up and show off.

“Right? audit It’s obvious but I’m glad you know!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“Ugh. crystal I, can’t… drink anymoreee…”

Before long, Rellin turned semi-unconscious. crystal It was because she drank a lot more than a glass or two… with my help as well, of course.

“Junior. acid You are a good drinker, aren’t you? alien Aren’t you still underage though?”

As soon as she lost consciousness, the Raven agents nearby who had been under the disguise of normal civilians walked up simultaneously.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Tap tap.

“Of course of course~”

“Fufu. action Junior Korin, you are also very handsome. portal Not as much as me though.”

“I hope you let that slip with your benevolence, beautiful Big Sister.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“I was working on it first,” I said.

I tapped on the table as Alicia walked up from a corner of the bar. absorb Consequently, Estelle and our group stood face-to-face in confrontation.

“But I was the one who got her drunk.”

“Even before you came, Saintess, I was already going on the right track.”

“Hohh~. amber Don’t you think you are being way too overconfident with your appearance? voyage Sure, appearance is important but you can’t ignore the chatter. artist The reason this woman continued drinking is because I had been entertaining her ears.”

“It’s thanks to my beautiful appearance that this woman drank herself to death, you know?”

“Would that be as good as entertaining her eyes though? orbit There’s even an essay saying that looking at beauties puts people in a good mood.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“Young man. athlete How dare you be so disrespectful to the Saintess.”

“Alicia.”

Unable to tolerate the immature battle happening between me and Estelle, one of the Raven agents walked up to me.

As soon as he started reaching his hand out towards me…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Alicia grabbed onto his arm, and the superhuman grip of a knight pressured the agent.

As expected of people that were primarily skilled at reconnaissance, they weren’t very strong when it came to pure power. arena It was because she placed more importance in their espionage skills than their ability to fight when looking for agents.

“Kuht…!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“Looks like there’s only a few on your side that are on the level of a knight… Can you handle it? sphere We have two Grade 1 Knights on our side.”

“I, is this okay, Mr. crystal Korin? crystal She’s still the Saintess… Princess.”

Even though it was only Alicia and me, the two of us were still much stronger than what even an elite squad of knights could deal with, let alone espionage agents.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Our opponent was the woman with the greatest symbolic significance in the entire kingdom. shadow She was the Saintess with the greatest amount of authority in the religious sector, as well as one of the potential inheritors to the throne.

“Let’s go somewhere else first.”

“Stick to one title. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. beacon And you’re right – it’s not okay.”

Simply put, she was the most prominent figure of this entire kingdom.

For security purposes, I had to wear a blindfold in the middle but I noticed where we were headed from the humidity in the air and the ground, as well as the distinct scent of dust.

****

I handed Rellin over to the Ravens and left the bar with Estelle.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“Sorry about covering your eyes. aspect It’s a necessary procedure for security.”

“Let him see.”

A seductive voice echoed across. adapt Soon, the blindfold covering my eyes was taken off, revealing Estelle who was wearing a wide smile on her face with the Ravens in the background.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“…!”

“It’s fine. august It is, after all, the headquarters of the secret espionage agents of the New Faith, so I do understand the necessity.”

Everyone in the room showed some kind of reaction. abandon Whether big or small, they all seemed quite shocked.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“How did you…!”

Even though it was something I knew from the game, it was still true that there were some rumors regarding it. autumn Linking that to the New Faith and the Saintess would have required some level of creative imagination though.

“Just something I gathered from the word on the streets. artist The story about a secret organization that protects demi-humans and punishes those that do inhumane things to them… is actually quite a well-known story in the backstreets.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“I don’t think you would be one of them though, Saintess.”

The amicable smile on her face slowly started to turn stiff. armor Even with some resemblance of a smile still remaining on her face, she was still able to exert a lot of pressure with her charisma. agent In turn, that proved how the Saintess hadn’t been leading an innocent and uneventful life.

“Junior. matrix Aren’t you showing off too much of what you know? absorb In this world, there are some evil people that kill others to make sure they stay silent. artist You know that, right?”

“Hehe. acid You are right, but…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding but… I don’t need Alicia to deal with a group of this level.”

The Raven agents placed their hands on their weapons behind her back. harbor Considering how this was their headquarters, it was safe to assume that there would be some knights and mages in here.

“You might receive some level of pressure.”

He was the vice captain of the Ravens, and the practical leader of the combatants of the organization, Morkai. amber His combat prowess was at the level of a Grade 1 Knight.

It was a man behind the Saintess who reacted to my provocative statement.

“How insolent…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“…”

“You damn brat.”

Morkai seemed frustrated but regardless, he immediately stepped back from a single sentence from Estelle. arch He had an absolute degree of loyalty to her and did not dare try to refute her words.

“Stop there, Vice Captain Morkai. avalanche He’s right.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

As suspected, these guys were aware that I was in possession of the Sun.

“Together?”

“By revealing our goals and working in alignment for this matter.”

“Let’s work together.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Estelle was deep in thought about the suggestion. riddle She was probably hesitant about revealing the confidential information, so I decided to make it easier for her.

“Elder Morushtan. arena I can give you evidence about his illegal demi-human experiments.”

“…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

The Saintess as well as the agents behind her were astonished by the claim. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

““……!!””

And I knew the location of a secret laboratory, which had been shut down after the rampage of a test subject.

It was something that appeared in the game when completing the side quests of ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan ❱. alert The ones that were predominantly carrying out inhumane human experiments were those from the Black Cult, and there were numerous horrible crimes that had been committed by their leader, Elder Morushtan.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“Alright. zenith Then in return…”

“…Why are you telling me this without any conditions?”

“Village Antec to the Northeast – inside the private land in the mountain behind it is a shed. absorb It’s quite close to the Tower of Mages.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“What if I just go back on the deal without doing anything back in return?”

“Are you going to?”

“I already told you that I want us to work together.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Right – I knew and had ample trust in her honesty and goodness.

“…”

She was lost for words as if I had seen right through her.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“First off, I will hand you Elder Morushtan, but as for the rest… I will never forgive them. anchor I’ll make them pay for what they did forever.”

“…!!”

“My goal is the fall of every wizard from the Tower that is visiting us on this occasion. harbor I want their dantians to be controlled and them to turn into convicts.”

“Sure. galaxy Then, Junior. voyage What do you want?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

The reason why the Tower of Mages was in collaboration with Tates Valtazar was simple and exactly the same as the Old Faith.

Their idea was that the cleansing of humanity did not matter in the slightest, when compared to the restoration of their past glory and power.

“…What have they done apart from those experiments?”

“The current Tower is mostly a corrupt pithole of devils. autumn Except for the ones at the very bottom, they are all mostly evil. acid Besides, every mage at the level of an elder as well as their direct disciples are all horrendous devils.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“I will punish them with not a single pound added or subtracted to their due sentence.”

With the Advent of Paradise, they will gain divinity there, live an eternal life and reign over the new humans – that was their goal. arcade They were horrible devils that were even worse off than traitors who sold their own motherlands.

“‘And eyes for eyes.’ The golden rule of scripture.”

“Those wretched devils are after the people around me. ‘Do not let your eyes see compassion. accent Life for life—’.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Estelle accepted my suggestion with a wide smile on her face.

“What a reassuring set of words.”

“Sure. arch So that was your first condition. alien What’s your second?”

“Let’s work together from now on. academy For anything unrelated to politics, let me help you wholeheartedly in whatever it is that you do, Saintess.”

Most of the things that she did were good things, which mostly revolved around saving the weak and punishing the evil.

In other words, that was bound to also be linked to my Precept and would let me gather quest rewards. artist And most of all, it would also allow me to intervene in dreary events that weren’t mentioned in the main quests and side quests of the game.

“Hnn~. ability Looks like you know about my ability already?”

Of course I did.

“In return, please pray for me. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. shadow Regularly for… let’s say, at least 2 years.”

Her ability was the manifestation of miracles from prayers.

Even the powerful sacred artifact that had the power to suppress Hua Ran the Unique Grade living jiangshi, was only possible because of her prayers.

It was on a completely different scale to normal religious prayers.

The prayers of the Saintess, who was directly linked to the divinity, had the power to twist reality. afford As the strongest buffer and the key character of the scenario in ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan ❱, Estelle’s ability was quite literally ‘almighty’.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

This was incredible – even better than any other reward I could have hoped for.

Perfect.

“Alright. acquire As long as I have enough divine energy, I will pray for you, Junior. adapt We live under the same roof so it shouldn’t even be that hard anyway.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“Let me deal with her. auction As for you, Saintess, I recommend you look into the location I mentioned for starters. adapt You’ll be able to find some meaningful results immediately.”

“Let’s talk about the details of the prayers later. atom As for that mage…”

If I could be under the constant effect of that miraculous buff which used to be only allowed in certain arcs because of the duration and distance issues, it was pretty much no different from obtaining several hidden pieces.

In the original game, the prayers of the Saintess were only sporadically accessible at the northern expedition after the 7th Arc, where the power balance started to tilt heavily in the enemy’s favor.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“Call me ‘noona’. abstract Dongsaeng[mfn]Dongsaeng = Literally means younger sibling. academy Sometimes used by slightly older people to refer to those younger than them. crystal It’s a rather intimate title.[/mfn].”

“‘Noona’,” the Saintess suddenly said.

“…Sorry?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Estelle demanded a handshake with a bright smile on her face. adapt For some reason, it was a lot earlier than the last iteration… Well, to be fair, the princesses entering the Academy in the second year was already a significant change.

“Ehem! zenith It’s an order!”

“Like, how would I dare call the Saintess/Princess by such a…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

While stealing glances at the Ravens that were glaring at me with bloodshot eyes from behind Estelle, I held onto her hand with much difficulty.

“Knn…”

Suddenly, Estelle responded by grabbing my hand with both of hers. autumn Her ticklish voice then squiggled its way into my ears.

“Don’t you think we will last a verryyyyyyy long time together? attic Dongsaeng?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Her cunning face was overflowing with interest and goodwill for me.

After noticing the disappearance of Rellin, who had gone to investigate the disappearance of Manroji, Morushtan noticed that something strange was going on.

Rellin wasn’t coming back.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Someone had their eyes set on them. beacon Morushtan and Admelech summoned all the mages of the Red Cult.

After a while, the accommodation room that was holding every mage of the Tower with a soundproof spell cast around the room was echoing with a deafening shout.

“Call… Lord Admelech.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Professor Zollin shouted while smacking the table.

“What do you mean Rellin was kidnapped!!?”

– Kwang!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“The mages of the Black Cult were the ones that were kidnapped, so why do you seem so mad, Professor Zollin?”

They looked at Professor Zollin, who was one of the top mages of the Red Cult, with curiosity in their eyes.

“H, mhmm…! alpha D, do we not all belong to the same Tower though?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“Hmph! crystal Who are these fearless ruffians that dare touch the pilgrims of the path of magic?! arctic Besides, how shameful is it that some of us have been done in by those thugs?!”

One of the higher grade mages of the Black Cult was speaking in the stead of Elder Morushtan when Elder Admelech of the Red Cult shouted after slamming the table.

“Anyways, Rellin went missing in addition to Manroji. matrix We have no proof as of yet, but Elder Morushtan is concerned that this might lead to a greater harm to us.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“This is concerning your disciples, Elder Morushtan. wizard Deal with it as soon as possible and make sure it does not affect our plans.”

Elder Admelech continued while gazing at Morushtan with his obstinate eyes.

“…I know.”

“B, but Master. silence Shouldn’t we give them a hand and help the Black Cult out?”

Morushtan did not raise any objections or ask Admelech for help. abstract Although they were all from the same Tower of Mages, they had a stronger sense of belonging to each of their cults, instead of the Tower.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Hearing his shout, Zollin immediately stepped back with cold beads of sweat traveling down his face. apron Even though he was a direct disciple of his, he couldn’t dare go against Admelech’s command because the orders and decisions of one’s master were unconditional in the Tower of Mages.

“Shut up, you stupid fool. echo Have you forgotten what we had to do? abandon We must seal the Dimensional Witch and suppress the vampire. acoustic Do you have any idea on how many things we have on our hands to fulfill those goals!?”

“S, sorry sir.”

“Damn it. canvas Damn that stupid, stubborn old man!”

“Ugh… Rellin. anxiety Why Rellin of all people!”

Zollin threw his robe away in fury. athlete Although he was in his 50s already, he was still temperamental and honest to his emotions, just like every other mage of the Red Cult who had fiery temperaments.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

He knew what Rellin wanted and what she was after, but Zollin had still been cherishing her. auction Besides, he had even recently finished experimenting with a slave contracting seal that would last forever after being etched, and had been hoping to use it on her when he had time.

Rellin, the 3rd floor mage of the Black Cult was Zollin’s lover.

And yet Rellin had gone missing before he could even carry out his shady plan. amber Unlike knights, mages were weaker than normal civilians after being restricted by mana-binding shackles.

Of course, he wasn’t an idiot. apple Why would a 20-year-old young lady like her go for an old man in his 50s like him?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

– Knock knock! beacon Is Professor Zollin inside?

“No. abstract It must be a misunderstanding. crystal There’s no way there would be anyone crazy enough to touch mages from the Tower…”

“Who is it!”

Also, since Rellin was only at the level of a 3rd floor mage, it wasn’t strange for her to lose to backstreet thugs if a bunch of them pounced on her at once.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

Zollin was already in a bad mood, and was put in a worse mood after seeing a stupid knight; a dog of the Academy.

– I am Korin, the guide assigned by the Academy.

“Damn it. attic Come in!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

“Ah, you see…”

The young knight boy with a wild countenance handed over a box.

“What is it?!”

“I’m just doing what I was told, so I do not know the details. palette Please enjoy the rest of the day.”

“What?”

“Someone asked me to give you this box, Sir Zollin.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

When Korin Lork left the room, Zollin ripped open the post box. canvas Inside was a small video recording stone.

– Click click!

It was a widely-used magic item that recorded a specific area and left it as a record. attic Naturally, as a mage, Zollin knew how to use it.

A video started to play once he tapped on the stone.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 125: Mages of the Tower (3) by Indra Translations.

The background of the video was a room that had gloomy wallpapers stuck on the walls. apron It was one of those cheap rooms in cheap inns that had nothing but a shabby bed.

It was clear that she was tied so badly that she couldn’t even move an inch. arrow That was when a man with short hair and big tattoos all over his body walked into the frame and approached her. shadow He then screamed with his face covered by a mask.

In the foreground of the video was Rellin, tied and restricted by a rope. altitude The ropes binding her accentuated the lines of her body and her eyes were being covered by a black blindfold.
