Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5)

He used to call the mages of the Black Cult fools and mocked them when they had gone missing, but he didn’t have the room for that anymore.

The leader of the Red Cult, Elder Admelech, released his blazing mana in an attempt to quench his burning fury.

“Zollin that stupid fool…!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“I do admit that Zollin’s a fool, but we must still save him!”

Zollin was in the 7th floor, which was right beneath Elder Admelech’s 8th floor, and that in turn meant that he was the future elder of the Red Cult. ability Although most of the mages in the Tower treated their disciples like trash, head disciples of elders were a different story. ability They were extremely valuable successors.

He was the disciple hand-picked by Elder Admelech out of dozens of prodigies with enormous mana capacities, raised and nurtured carefully for dozens of years. adjust Elder Admelech could not afford to lose him just like this.

He might have ignored it if it was a mage from a lower floor, but the problem was that Professor Zollin, the hostage, was a direct disciple of Elder Admelech.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

The head disciple of Elder Morushtan, Arkai of the Black Cult, opened his mouth.

“This is something that concerns the Red Cult. admire There is no responsibility for us Black Cult to…”

“Shut up, brat. amateur I am not talking to you.”

Admelech genuinely admitted Zollin’s mistake and requested the help of the Black Cult, which was not received very well by the black mages.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“This is not… an issue concerning one specific cult. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com orbit He… has figured out our goal.”

“…We will help.”

“M, master?”

Admelech turned his gaze to the leader of the Black Cult, Elder Morushtan. adopt The ones in charge of making decisions were the elders of each cult, and Elder Admelech did not see the need to listen to the peasants below him.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

There were too many unanswered questions.

“It is as you say. audit Who in the world is he?”

“Master… Since he’s requesting gold coins, how about we try putting together funds…”

Who was the clown inside the footage, and did he tell others about it? alert That was when one of the medium-level mages of the Red Cult carefully raised his opinion to Admelech.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“If he leaks the information… That will ruin our great plan…”

His pride as one of the elders of the Tower of Mages did not allow him to obediently give him money. apple Even though saving his head disciple was very important, Admelech did not want to bend his pride for it either.

“Nonsense! absorb The Tower will not negotiate with such scoundrels!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“We still have time… We must look for him.”

Although Admelech didn’t mention it because of his pride, gathering enough money wasn’t that easy either. acquire They had traveled a long distance from the Tower of Mages to get to the Academy. anxiety Where would they find and prepare that much money?

“I know that already!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

There was still some time left in their hands.

“I agree.”

“We will need people to look into this guy’s whereabouts. adjust Fortunately, the 2nd Princess has entered the Academy, so… I suppose we should request the princess for some aid.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

Now, they must be feeling rushed and hasty.

The mages of the Tower decided to find the clown before anything.

****

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

Find the clown and settle the score.

Ignore the video and move in groups and discard the hostages.

There were mainly 3 things that the Tower could do at this stage in time.

Prepare enough money as requested.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

As for Number 1, it was impossible. orbit At least not for Elder Admelech of the Red Cult.

There was no way that he would abandon his successor that easily.

After entering the tower, the mages would discard their surnames and display themselves by their names and their cults. arena For Admelech, the Red Cult was his family, and his asset as one who had dedicated his life to the path of magic.

Zollin, who was currently in my hands, was still the one and only successor of the Red Cult despite appearing rather stupid.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

The mages of the Tower were elitists and personified versions of ego and pride. accent For them, this kidnapping incident would be one that brought about fury and thoughts of revenge, and would not see the clown as someone to negotiate with.

Number 2 wasn’t a realistic option either.

‘And that’s why I gave them a week.’

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

And that raised a question – how would they try looking for me?

Inevitably, the only option they would choose was Option Number 3. avalanche Looking for the clown and making the clown pay for their actions would probably be the only option in their minds.

“…”

“Can you please do that for me, junior?”

They might request the Intelligence Guild or look for clues themselves, but… the easiest method was going straight to Princess Miruam.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“Asking me to monitor a princess of the royal family all of a sudden… Is this not a serious offense that might drop my head?”

“That is why I am asking you specifically, junior. alpha If it’s you, you’ll never be caught and you will be alright.”

The boy in front of me, the descendant of Hasassin, replied after a short silence.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“My dear junior!”

Rashid seemed dumbfounded by my request, but it was understandable, considering how I suddenly came to him and was asking him to monitor Princess Miruam and tell me what conversation she would have with mages from the Tower. agent It was a rather illegal request.

“…I swear I remember you telling me to walk the path of a knight just recently, though.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

I shouted while grabbing tightly onto the shoulders of Rashid Ad Din Mustali.

“What exactly is a knight? palette What is the heart of chivalry?!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“What is wrong with you…”

“Doth thou disagree?”

“…No. timber You’re right.”

“Saving the weak, doing what is just, and keeping justice is what chivalry is all about. silence Doth thou disagree?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“Righteousness to righteousness. album But evil to evil. artist That’s how it is.”

“Like, umm… isn’t that pure sophistry? altitude Isn’t being righteous and fair also a part of chivalry?”

“In other words, it’s okay for the procedure to be slightly cowardly.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“Isn’t that the same thing?”

“But still, surveilling a royal princess is…”

“No, no, no. audit That’s not it. album Your job is not about surveilling a princess. avalanche It’s about monitoring the mages from the Tower.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“That’s the advance payment. matrix I will give you the same amount if you bring me the requested information.”

Taking out a pouch of gold coins from my pocket, I placed it in his hands.

“Everything depends on how you phrase it.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

In the end, Rashid accepted my request. arena Since he just left the nest of assassins, he was pretty much broke and the money I offered as payment was probably too much for him to ignore.

“…Thank you very much for your patronage.”

Now, all I had to do was wait for the Tower to get in contact with Princess Miruam.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

The fact that the culprit was me, Korin Lork, who had been using the same disguise in the Hunting Grounds, would be as clear as day for her.

Looking at the purple suit and the makeup of a clown, Miruam would be able to immediately notice the identity of the culprit in an instant.

At that point, there would be no reason for Miruam to not tell the Tower about my identity. alert Because the Tower was one of her greatest sponsors, the decline of their power also equated to the decline of her status and position.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

Unlike my expectations, Miruam did not say a single thing about my identity.

Everything I had done until now was to induce them into attacking me for a one big sweep. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. acquire My goal was to wipe them all out at once, but…

『Oh dear. atlas I wonder who this is. autumn What a terrifying-looking clown.』

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

………What was going on?

“The Tower has been quite rowdy recently.”

“As you expected, the Tower seems to have noticed that we were related to the kidnapping incident of the mages.”

Miruam did not give any clues to the mages from the Tower who came visiting her to show the footage. alert She simply did not tell them that I was the culprit.

“Why do you think she did that?”

“But the problem is that they didn’t fall for the bait.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

She might have noticed Rashid but was that even possible? arena Even I, who was aware of his ability to conceal his presence, had to engrave several Runes of Perception around me to notice him.

“But she still should have said it in that case, don’t you think?”

“…Maybe she saw through it?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

That made even less sense.

There shouldn’t be any methods for Princess Miruam to see through Rashid’s stealth so… why did she do that?

Was it to side with me?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“Anyway, it looks like your Plan A has failed, Student Korin. voyage At this rate…”

“They’ll probably do something in the mid-sems.”

Miru was a cold-hearted and calculative person. harbor She wasn’t the type to discard something that was already on her side, just because of something that could eventually take her side.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

According to the original storyline, the mages of the Tower would create a commotion in the middle of the mid-sem exams, which would result in a horrible disaster.

Since they had already familiarized themselves with the structure of the Academy and the locations of several facilities including the laboratory, the black mages would drop tons of chimeras and undeads at once, while the red mages would set every building on fire to add to the chaos.

That was what I had been hoping to avoid at all costs.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

Wearing the outfit of a clown, I would create a fuss in the Hunting Grounds to etch my appearance into Princess Miruam’s mind, and send a video of a similar clown to the mages.

Meanwhile, Elder Morushtan and Elder Admelech would kidnap Marie, who was locked up in the basement of the Academy and… Lord Adelene would assassinate the chairman.

That was the original storyline of the game. matrix On top of that, the damage done to the students would be even more amplified by Adelene’s magic.

My goal was to prevent this from happening altogether.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

The prerequisites of Plan A ended up crumbling to pieces by Princess Miruam not telling them about my identity.

“Let me do it.”

I was going to go out on an external mission and use that to lure in all the mages after they started monitoring me, but…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“But…”

“No. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. afford We can’t have the king stepping in already.”

“Since Plan A has failed, isn’t it time to change to Plan B? aspect I will draw the eyes of the mages.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

If the puppet were to be broken, Master wouldn’t be able to safely intervene in the matters of this world and in the end…

“It is alright. atom Even if this body is to be broken, I can break out of the seal. altitude The seal has weakened considerably in the span of 80 years.”

“…”

80 years ago, Tates Valtazar had sealed Erin in the Shadow Palace, and the only reason she was able to attend the matters of the material world was thanks to the puppet, Eriu Casarr.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“I believe it is right for me to bear the burden with this spare body, instead of putting Student Marie at risk.”

My goal in this iteration was to have her remain inside the shell of Eriu Casarr without giving her even the slight chance to personally leave the palace. accent Before Tates Valtazar could be crowned to being the new king, he had to kill Erin Danua, the current Queen of Paradise.

In order to prevent that from happening altogether, my plan was to have her exiled in the Shadow Palace until I managed to kill Valtazar.

And that was what I hated. agent In the last iteration, and even back in the game, that was what made Erin lose her life.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“What is it?”

“…”

“Before that… let me do something first.”

There were no justifications for me to turn her down. apron After all that was the Plan B we had decided with, and using Plan B was unavoidable now that Plan A had failed.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

The sudden appearance of Princess Miruam and her inexplicable actions had acted as a variable, but in this iteration and in this current time frame, there was another variable that could work in our favor.

“Elder Morushtan of the Tower of Mages. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. voyage You are under arrest for illegal human experiments, and charged for murder, abduction, and confinement.”

They were the armed forces of the New Faith, that rivaled the Templar Knights of the Old Faith. ability They were the symbol of ‘strength’ in the New Faith, and it was outside of everyone’s expectations for them to suddenly appear before the mages of the Tower.

“Paladins of the New Faith…! admire What do you think you are doing!?”

On the way to the Academy, it was when the mages from the Tower were walking to the Academy as always when they suddenly appeared out of nowhere. afford As a result, the front gates of the Academy became a ground of confrontation of roughly 40 mages and people wearing sacred garments and armors.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“…”

As the leader of the Black Cult, he had always been the one in the lead when it came to human experiments with a bunch of such experiences in his hands. academy However, mages of the Tower had always been the target of suspicion and the key was in evidence. august And Elder Morushtan was confident that he had already cleaned up and concealed everything that he had done.

Elder Morushtan, the leader of the Black Cult, gazed at the paladins before him.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

The mages of the Tower retaliated against the paladins in one voice, as both sides turned more and more aggressive. galaxy The Holy Knights were here to arrest the leader of one of their symbolic cults, which was naturally met with significant resistance.

“Nonsense! attic The Tower of Mages does not belong to any nation! ability No one can arrest us; not even Holy Knights!”

“Do not resist and receive the verdict, Elder Morushtan. arena You are under a significant allegation of being a heretic.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

It was then. matrix A girl appeared and started walking up from behind the paladins.

“Everyone. portal Please stop.”

Both sides were incredibly powerful. anxiety A conflict of the two forces would be devastating and could even escalate to a war of religion.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“Saintess Estelle…”

Estelle Hadassa El Rath. alert She was here to intervene in the volatile situation.

“What is this about, Your Highness Estelle? voyage Is Your Highness planning on harassing us, the Tower of Mages?”

She was the harmony of pure white and gold – the one and only of the New Faith.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

The Tower of Mages was by no means weaker than the New Faith in both strength and authority. abstract It was impossible for them to arrest a leader of a cult based on allegations alone.

“Of course, I, as the Saintess, fully acknowledge the prestige and rights of the Tower. arcade However, there has been a heavy allegation against Elder Morushtan. harbor Since there has been a report, there is a need to look into the matter.”

Professor Arkai, the head disciple of Morushtan, raised his voice.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“Of course, we do have proof.”

“You cannot do this without even having proof…”

With a wide smile on her face, Estelle took out documents and a recording stone. silence They were the evidence and a recording of the place that Korin Lork had told them about.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“Y, you’re framing…”

“This…”

Even Morushtan was dumbfounded looking at the obvious pieces of evidence sitting right before his eyes. sphere This was the footage of his secret laboratory that no one should know about. armor He only visited the laboratory with the help of his familiar and made sure nobody knew about his presence or the location of the lab, so how did the New Faith know about it?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

It was a radiant yet warm ray of light – a cleansing miracle cleaning everything evil in existence. voyage The light emanating out of Estelle was the very proof that she was being loved by the gods.

When Estelle said that out loud with a cross in her hands, blinding light surged out of her body and threatened to blind their eyes despite the sun being high up in the sky.

Saintess Estelle.

“Be quiet. avalanche Our order carries out rightful inquisitions in accordance with the rules forged by the lord and the royalty.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

Just from a single prayer, the necromancers walking down the evil and wicked path were made to swallow their pain.

“Uhuk…!”

“Are you coming? alpha Or do you need to be bashed up first?”

Staring at them, the saintess of the New Faith, Estelle, said with a sadistic smile on her face.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“Those damned bastards of the New Faith!!”

Her last words were truly unbefitting of a saintess, but were enough to make the mages of the Tower surrender.

The mages of the Tower were very down.

“How bad is our luck?!”

The leader of the Black Cult, Morushtan, had been seized by the New Faith for allegations of human experiments, which was on a whole different scale to third-rate mages and the head disciple being kidnapped.

“We need to stop our plan!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“How dare these scoundrels interrupt the great path of magic?”

The hot-tempered mages of the Red Cult were infuriated whereas those of the Black Cult appeared extremely gloomy. agent Losing their leader Morushtan was a big blow to their confidence.

Their targets, Marie Dunareff and Chairman Eriu Casarr were both powerhouses at the Unique Grade. zenith Having several mages at the level of an elder was a must when capturing such individuals and besides, it was originally supposed to be Elder Morushtan’s job to capture Marie Dunareff and hence they were lost as to what to do.

More importantly, the problem bigger than the blow to their confidence was their lack of power.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

Morushtan’s head disciple, Professor Arkai was agonized. harbor He could only think of one plan that could save them out of this trouble.

“Professor Arkai… What do we do now?”

“…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

“Shut your nonsense! anchor Professor Arkai! adapt We already had our hands full with that stupid clown; what plan is there to continue with at this point?! airport We must quickly return to the Tower!”

“We must… continue the plan with haste. wizard Before master gets taken to the sacred lands of the New Faith… we need to burn the Academy and save him in the midst of that chaos.”

“The foremost reason why our plan was revealed was because one of your professors revealed everything to that clown! adapt You have your side of the responsibility to this matter, Red Cult!”

“What was that? aspect You filthy necrophiles!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

The quarrel between the two cults escalated as they started raising their voices. portal No longer able to leave them be, Elder Admelech created soaring flames that settled both parties down.

“E, Elder Admelech?!”

“Is that all you have to say, you damn arsonists?!”

“Kuuk?!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

It was an overwhelming display of firepower, capable of suppressing dozens of mages at once. amateur What was even more surprising was that the flames were focused only on the mages without affecting anything else in the room.

His flames emerged without him even chanting a spell and yet they were powerful enough to almost break through their defensive robes.

“S, sorry sir!”

“This is not a marketplace, you fools.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

All the mages yielded at the face of Admelech’s flames. antique It might have been possible for them to withstand the spells of a professor-level mage, but someone at the level of an elder had the power to wipe most of them out as if they were ants.

After settling the mages down, Admelech quietly looked into the eyes of each and every one of them before shouting with a sonorous voice.

“Lord Adelene!”

“Please… have mercy!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

Admelech shouted, with not a single doubt that Lord Adelene was among them.

“Now that Elder Morushtan has been arrested, it is impossible for this old man to do this alone. auction I will have to ask for your direct assistance!”

There was a reason why the higher ranked mages, who considered the low-grade mages as insects, had been letting everyone participate in the conference. academy It was because the Great Golden Mage was in disguise as one of the lower-grade mages.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

The room turned silent. aspect No one stepped up calling themselves Adelene, but that was natural because Adelene wouldn’t have even bothered to go under disguise if he or she was going to reveal themselves this easily.

– Creak!

“…”

“…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

It was then. riddle Every metal in the room starting from pens, badges to staves and everything with even the slightest hint of metal started to move by themselves.

“Who’s using magic…?”

– Tadak…!

“W, what is going on?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

– Click!

Soon, the metals stopped moving in the air. artist They formed a sentence giving a direction to the mages of the Tower.

They turned to one another, but none of them were able to even guess who the one using magic was – not even Elder Admelech.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 127: Mages of the Tower (5) by Indra Translations.

Carry on with the plan.

『Seal the Witch.』

The plan was revealed and key personnel were captured but the central figure of this great plan – the Great Golden Mage gave a simple command.
