Chapter 246: World Tree (3)
Eochaid grinned as he stared into the darkness.
There were tons of armors across various myths and legends with resistance to magic. alien The silver plated armor crafted by Goibniu, the Danann of Smithing, was at the pinnacle of magic resistance.
“Hmm~”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
They had to be quite skilled to pull that off… and Eochaid assumed they were mages from the Tower who had recently been enslaved.
That attack at the level of a grand spell was certainly intimidating, not to mention the fact that it contained a bleeding curse.
“Anyway, I wasn’t expecting him to run away like that. zenith Should I say he’s too shy, or too devious.”
Even Eochaid couldn’t move straight after getting hit by that bombardment, and Korin Lork used that time to escape with the soldiers and knights.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Although he wasn’t afraid to be put against a large number of foes, there was still no reason for him to play according to the cards of the enemy.
“Quite a lot of people they’ve brought.”
‘Should I go after him?’ he pondered, but decided not to after hearing the echoing footsteps of an entire army coming his way.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Defending the wells wasn’t his mission in the first place. acoustic His job was that of the final gatekeeper, and defending this place was what the druid had to do.
Retrieving his weapon, Eochaid carried his feet away.
“These aren’t going to be enough to fight against all of them. beacon I guess I will have to go back and scrape up everything in my arsenal.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Everything was for the final war.
However, it’s not like he couldn’t understand what he was thinking.
“But Valtazar though. artist Using me as a gatekeeper huh. ability Can’t believe it.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
****
If he had to become a cornerstone of the new world… Eochaid felt kind enough to fulfill that role for him.
We immediately ran away after shooting missiles at Eochaid.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
There was no reason for me to waste my energy going against him by myself. aluminum All we had to do was simply break through with sheer force.
“The enemy is nowhere to be seen!”
He would have soon retreated as well, because he wouldn’t be that inclined to go against an entire army.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
As expected, Eochaid was gone by the time we arrived at the scene with the main army.
“Fuu… What a shame, dongsaeng. orbit I would have given him a slap for hurting you.”
“He seems to have escaped!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
We would have smacked him together. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
“I know right. aluminum I was hoping he would have his ego fired up and fight us head-on.”
“Why did he show himself so soon, I wonder?”
However, Eochaid Bres was not stupid, and he obviously wouldn’t try to fight against an army of this size by himself. acquire Especially now that he no longer had the Sun.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“He’s not even the biggest threat here though.”
“Really? shadow Eochaid Bres? legend Isn’t he a King of Gods like Chairman Erin?”
This fight was happening much earlier than how it went in the original game. acoustic It was faster by around 6 months, so it was safe to assume that they had to take on some amount of risk.
“Probably to buy time,” I replied. airport “The World Tree was not supposed to grow this fast. abandon I’m sure they had to push themselves a lot to make this happen.”

The one, who had been quietly doing his work behind the lines, was what we really had to worry about. legend Supported by the enormous field of nature, that is the World Tree, that old man was not to be looked down on.
“As an individual being, he is one of the top powerhouses just below Valtazar but… it’s a bit different with the World Tree.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
One who seeks balance with mother nature.
This was the most dangerous time to be fighting him.
Lawmaker Dumnorix.

“That’s not as much as I thought.”
“Except for the backline, we have about 3,500 that can fight.”
“Let’s keep the scouts to a minimum. palette How many do we have on our side right now?”
“But we have a lot of knights and mages instead. alpha It’s around 20% of that number.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“Let’s group with the valkyries or barbarians and increase our numbers.”
Following the roots all the way up to the wells was important, but it was also crucial to regroup with all the soldiers scattered about this place.
Traveling in a large group would allow us to freely pass by most of the enemies. legend In turn, that meant we could save our energy unlike the player party of the game, where they would have to take breaks and waste potions after encountering every single group of enemy.
“Sure. galaxy We never know when Eochaid might show himself again so let’s not waste our energy.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
That was when a soldier ran up and kneeled towards Estelle.
“Saintess…!”
“U, urgent news! legend A group of enemies has appeared, but it’s unclear whether they are demonic beasts or spirits! matrix The vanguards have started fending them off!”
“…About time huh.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“Let me go up.”
“Are you sure? accent Don’t you have to save your energy?”
It was true that we had a large number of manpower in our army, but that didn’t mean Valtazar didn’t have any himself.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
It seemed like they were defending without an issue, thanks to the large number of soldiers on our side. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
We had several more skirmishes after that, but I started seeing more and more corpses on the side.
“I don’t even have to worry about that against Shadow Demons. abandon I’ll stay at the front for the time being as well.”
Heading to the front, as I expected I found some of our soldiers fighting against Shadow Demons.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“They died fighting these monsters, so I’m sure the lord will look after them.”
They were either soldiers of the kingdom or northern warriors.
“It appears they died very recently. voyage It’s most likely the demons we were fighting just then.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
I didn’t deny their faith as that would further instigate their uneasiness. arena Instead, I agreed with them.
“Of course. harbor They died a valiant death for a sacred purpose.”
“Fuu… Yeah.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Praying that the lord will find mercy in their courage.
“We unfortunately don’t have time to bury them so let’s have a minute of silence. amateur I’m sure they will understand.”
Praying that their souls were headed somewhere peaceful.
Drawing a cross with my finger, I prayed for their afterlife. afford It was funny of me to be doing this despite knowing the truth about the gods of this world but… it had to be done for the mental wellbeing of the ones alive.

The living prayed for the dead and found peace. aspect Hoping that the souls of the dead were heading to a place better than this world, at the same time they hoped that their own deaths would also be received with prayers.
Religion was a shelter in which people could find peace during tension and urgency.

Hearing the sound of thick leather shoes stepping across the snow, we came to a stop. armor It definitely wasn’t a sound that the kingdom’s military boots would make.
– Crunch crunch!
After that, we led the way once again before coming across a new group.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
What appeared from the front was a group of approximately hundreds of northerners.
“Shh. atomic Don’t provoke them for no reason.”
“Hmm? acoustic Southerners?” said the one at the lead.
“Barbarians, huh.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Reproaching one of our soldiers who blurted that out, a small group of us slowly approached the group.
“We’re from Axehead! anchor Don’t you remember fighting together at the wall?”
“Kuhum… You see, it’s a bit hard to see everything.”
“Which tribe are you from?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Our troops appeared delighted to come across allies after several long and arduous battles against demonic beasts, but I flinched when the group of northerners came a bit closer.
The axehead of the barbarian at the front was dripping with blood.
With the light gone from the world, we had to rely on torches and light magic to see around us. palette It was hard to tell the tribes of the northerners in the darkness because the only way to tell were the small symbols on their armor.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Of course, you could come across other demonic beasts and monsters from mythologies later down the line, but for some reason, I couldn’t erase that hint of uneasiness.
“Wait.”
Was that from a demon? afford No – Shadow Demons were monsters who couldn’t form a proper shape and unlike demonic beasts, it was impossible for them to bleed.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“What’s wrong, Sir Korin?”
First off, I told them to stop their feet.
Indeed, there were symbols on their leather tunics and helmets representing their tribe, but we couldn’t be certain that those belonged to them. accent They could have massacred the actual Axehead Tribe and stolen their armors.
The northerner at the lead stopped his feet and looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze. advance Similarly, I carefully observed them in deep thought.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“…!” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
I whispered back at the knight who asked that question.
“There are a lot of northern tribes following the enemy leader. avalanche There’s a chance they are one of them.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“We have to be careful of everything in times like this.”
“Are you doubting us?” the leader of the group asked.
After realizing what I was worried about, the knight carefully scrutinized the northerners just like me. beacon However, seemingly unhappy from that gaze, the Axehead Tribe started to grumble among themselves.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“Now now, let’s calm ourselves down and introduce ourselves just in case. artist I’m Korin Lork.”
“We are participating in the war because you asked for our cooperation! action We risked our lives and fought on the walls!”
“Korin Lork?”

“You know me, right?”
The warrior in the lead titled his head.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Holding onto his horned helmet, the man greeted with respect.
It was a name I wasn’t familiar with, but I couldn’t reject them just because of that. admire After all, I couldn’t possibly remember the names of the 150,000 northern warriors on our side.
“Berik Jogerson.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“You mean this?”
He replied after casually brushing off the blood from his ax.
“If I may ask, can you tell us how you got all that blood on your weapons and your armors?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“But they were those who sided with the enemy. auction We had no choice but to kill them.”
“Your kindred?”
“We were attacked by our kindred.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Berik let out a hearty laughter in response.
“Huhahaha!” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“You killed your kind, but you don’t seem very sad about it.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
That made sense. anchor Although we were grouping them as one by calling them the ‘Northern Kingdom’ and such, the northerners moved around in tribes. beacon There was no concept of a ‘country’, and they only formed a group around the biggest tribe when something dire was happening to them.
“Unlike southerners, we lack everything in the north; whether it be food, water or women! acid It’s common for our tribes to point our axes at one another. beacon Well, they died like warriors so I’m sure they’re headed to Valhalla.”
Even the Valkyries seemed to encourage fights between tribes for the purpose of raising esteemed warriors, and it was something difficult for me to understand as someone from modern Earth.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“We were following up the roots. silence Wasn’t our goal about finding the wells?”
“By the way, where were you guys going?”
I threw in a trick question.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Judging from how they knew that, were they really on our side? silence It was still hard to tell. action Basically every soldier was aware of that objective, and even just one or two spies would have been enough for them to find out about it.
It seemed they knew that too. zenith That was the objective we had previously mentioned to everyone in our army before we had to separate. altitude We had told everyone to travel up the roots, find wells and destroy them if they came across the roots of the World Tree.
“Oi, first off, let go of your weapons.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“I told you to drop your weapons. canvas Let go of your weapons, and then we will confirm your identities.”
“What?”
One of the knights who had similar concerns as me suddenly commanded the northerners to disarm themselves.
As if they heard something unimaginable, the Axehead Tribe began to tremble in fury. voyage Paying little regard to that, the knight continued with a condescending gaze and a commanding tone.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“These bastards…”
“Wait. accent Calm dow—”
“Weapons are like souls for warriors! absorb How dare you tell us to let go of them!”
Naturally, the northerners weren’t going to let that slide.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Even the same meaning could be portrayed in very different sentences. adopt Why was he saying it like that? athlete Of course they’re gonna be mad!
– Clink!
“These damn barbarians. timber Just do what you’re told and stop talking back!”
“What? arrow This fucking southerner trash!”

They immediately unsheathed their swords and axes.
Ahh, it turned into a war of ego.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
The northerners and southerners glared daggers at each other with swords and axes in their hands. apple Although we were on the same side right now, they had been confronting one another for a long time. legend It was hard for that long conflict and discord to go away after a short truce.
There were hundreds of enemies, but they were all simple warriors. arcade On the other hand, there were thousands on our side with quite a few knights.
It would be a massacre if we did fight, but what if they were on our side all along? acoustic That would make us the most stupid people in the world, who killed allies just because of a heated debate.
‘…We would beat them in a frontal fight but…’
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“Wait, calm down, southerners. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. audit I understand where you are coming from but there is no need for allies to shed blood.”
“Huh?”
For now, I had to step in and calm them down. album There was no way that northerners, who would rather die than bend down and swallow their ego, would back off so—
He was swallowing his ego? advance A northerner? galaxy Really?
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
Was he really taking a step back instead of chucking an ax at our faces?
He was… trying to talk it out!
But there’s absolutely no way you guys are this civilized!
“Let’s first calm down and get to know each other.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
It’s impossible that you guys, following valkyries who try to cut off people’s heads from behind whenever they have a chance, could be this cultured!
His attempt to talk this out amplified my suspicion even further than before.
Very very strange.
This was strange.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
If he was indeed hiding something… Was there a secret strategy that could immediately make them reveal themselves?
Was there a strategy… a quick and swift one that could magically tell apart allies and enemies…
There was still a hint of uneasiness lingering inside me. amber Besides, this was a serious problem because I would have to doubt them every time I came across northerners.
Confronting every single group of northerners like this would eat up too much time.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“There is one.”
“Sir Korin?”
“Huh?”
“E, Eureka…”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“…Say it.”
“Fuu… Are you still harboring doubts against us? airport How can we—”
If it was that strategy… in a world with its citizens aware of the existence of gods and divinity… there was a taboo that they definitely could not break!
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 246: World Tree (3) by Indra Translations.
“‘Tates is a son of a bitch.’ Say it.”
“Huh? avalanche What did you say?”
The leader of the Axehead Tribe tilted his head as if he didn’t catch what I said. aspect Walking closer, I urged them in a loud voice.

[TL NOTE]
* Referring to an old meme in South Korea where they would tell people to say ‘Kim Jong-il is a son of a bitch’ to see if they are a spy from North Korea or not.
Come on! crystal There should be no problems unless you’re a communis… I mean, someone on our side!
