Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2)

“This looks fabulous.”

They were Urdarbrunnr, Hvergelmr, and Mimisbrunnr.

Like I said before, there were three wells under the World Tree.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

The one in front of us was glowing in radiant gold.

Mimisbrunnr.

“What should we do, dongsaeng?”

This was the easiest of the three routes, and was considered an easy mode even in the game.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“The standard move would be to destroy the well.”

“How do we remove this? antenna Do we just bombard it with magic?”

The three wells were the main source of energy that allowed the World Tree to grow. attic With these removed, it would be possible to stop the expansion of the World Tree.

“We could do that, but funnily enough, there’s another way to approach it.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“We can drink it.”

“What is it?”

“Huh?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“…Really?”

“Drinking this makes you smarter.”

I was serious.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

This was also a place where the player party could drink these elixirs to prepare themselves for the upcoming battle.

Each of the wells provided energy to the World Tree, and in other words, that meant this entire pond of water was an elixir of some sort.

I haven’t actually drank this myself though, so I was just speaking from my experience in the game.

Although I don’t recall its effect being anything unfathomably overpowered, it did increase your mana and other stats by a little.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“Normally, it would be impossible to dry up the well by drinking but… how many of us did we have here again?” All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

“Drinking about a liter each would probably empty this up.”

“Probably about 10,000.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

I placed torches around the well, and stood before the soldiers setting up their tents.

“Everyone, attention!”

“Ahah~”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“According to our investigation, we have discovered that this water is ‘drinkable’. alien This water will replace the planned supplies of water.”

“Is it really okay to drink?” asked one of the soldiers after raising his hand.

His voice represented the doubts of many others.

Although it was still dark with little light to go around, the golden light from the well acted like a spotlight and gathered their eyes.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

It was a fair question.

Obviously, it was fair to doubt whether a pond of golden water under that tree would be drinkable or not.

Light had suddenly vanished from the world. artist All sorts of monsters were creeping up from nowhere, and we were advancing beneath a massive tree that could reach the universe.

“Uhh… It’s not that I am doubting your words, Sir Korin, but… we have no idea what lies inside a pond in the middle of a place like this…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

To let them leave aside their worries, I asked for a cup and scooped up until it was full to the brim. agent The ambient golden water splashed around while giving off light by itself. voyage Honestly, any normal person from Earth would wonder whether this was radioactive or not but…

“I understand your concerns. wizard Let me lead an example by drinking it firsthand.”

“Sir, there is no need for you to…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

It tasted like sweet honey. apron Even though I had tasted all sorts of delicacies in this world, this was the best drink I had come across by far.

‘What the heck. antique Why is this so delicious?’

– Gulp gulp!

I immediately poured the water down my throat. orbit The well of Mimisbrunnr was surprisingly…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

It seemed that it didn’t increase your wisdom like what the legends told, but I could still feel my head turning clearer, and it felt like I could process my thoughts much faster.

[You have consumed the Water of Mimisbrunnr.]

Besides, I was still a sub-player, and the results were reflected tangibly through a message.

– Your Aura and Mana Regeneration has increased by 250%

Well, it might just be a placebo effect, but there was no doubt that drinking it served no harm.

‘With this regeneration… I might be able to sustain the Sun for a while.’

As expected of moments before the final battle, even a buff from the well was extraordinary.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

The soldiers asked after carefully taking a step closer. acid They seemed very curious about the effects of the water.

“Sorry? palette Delicious?”

“Ehem… This is very delicious.”

“S, Sir Korin? antenna How do you feel?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

I spread rumors, which were mainly true, to the soldiers that were becoming increasingly more curious about the water.

“What did the mages say?”

“Yes. orbit Absolutely delicious. alpha It feels like my mind is getting clearer and aiya~. avalanche Maybe it’s just as the mages said!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“Apparently this is really good for your body. orbit Especially for men.”

– Gulp!

“For men?”

The soldiers immediately understood what I meant by that.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

– Ohh! silence This tastes incredible!

– As long as I drink that…

After that, it was quite straight-forward.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

– This really must be good for your body then!

– Is this honey? crystal How can water taste like this?

– I can feel my mind turning clearer!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“Are you not going to drink it, Hua?”

After filling my bottle with the golden water, I was returning to the encampment when I came across a familiar face.

If this really was the Well of Wisdom like the original legends, this entire group of 10,000 people might become masters and doctors in the future.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

This was good for the body and delicious though, so I wanted her to give it a try.

Even Alicia was in the middle of drinking it, after murmuring to herself how this would improve her grades, but Hua didn’t seem to have any interest in it.

“I’m not interested.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s tasty.”

“I’ll give you some, so try it. harbor It tastes great.”

I poured the water from my bottle into a small cup, and Hua received it from me with her tiny hands. academy She started drinking with a skeptical look on her face, but her face flushed up while drinking it.

“Wait…”

“Right?”

It appeared that she hadn’t been expecting some golden water to taste this good.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“Hello, oppa,” she greeted.

“Hey. audit What did Hua say?”

Her eyes started being tainted in blue. matrix She was changing to Ran.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“How nice.”

“I know, right?”

“She said it was delicious and wanted me to try as well.”

Even though Hua was quiet and reserved, she occasionally showed her cute and affectionate side.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“Sure.”

“Oppa. aluminum I can’t see you properly. action Can you come a bit closer?”

I walked closer and sat next to Ran. alien When we were so close that we could feel each other’s temperature, Ran rested her head on my shoulder.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yeah. attic I didn’t know he could pull off something like this.”

Until now, I only had a superficial understanding of gods.

“This darkness is making it really uncomfortable,” she complained.

However, seeing the extraordinary feat of making light disappear from the world, I was rather appalled by it.

Whether it be a god or a Danann, I simply thought of them as slightly mysterious and powerful existences. attic Somewhere around… a slightly more powerful superhuman, who was strong but not impossible to defeat.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

The power of a god came from their natural concept and the faith of their followers.

I realized that the gods of this world were capable of doing some crazy things, although they weren’t omnipotent by any means.

In other words, the more people there were praising that concept, the powerful the god would become.

“But there’s probably not that many gods who can do something like this. palette I heard Master tell me once in the past, that there were gods above gods called ‘God Kings’.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

Sun.

“Light… That’s true, but oppa. portal If that’s really the case…”

That was the divinity I was carrying. academy Although I had no plans of becoming a god, there was also a concept within me that was praised and revered by every creation under the Sun.

“That must be what light is. riddle It’s essential for everyone, and is therefore naturally praised by the people.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

It was a weird turn of events.

There was not even a single mention of anything like this in the game, and even in the last iteration, the concept of gods had never been so apparent.

“Valtazar… Do I really have to become a god to defeat him?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

I had to defeat Tates Valtazar, the Light of this generation. alert It was simple.

“Whatever it is, that doesn’t change anything.”

What was so different about now and the last iteration?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“If I follow the root up again… and go down by another root, I should be able to arrive at another well.”

“Oppa, where are you going?” sphere Seeing me stand up, Ran asked.

“We can come with you.”

“No.” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“Save your energy. auction It won’t take long.”

I sat her back down, because I was the best suited for this task.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

– Help!

– Stop it! avalanche Stop them!

Screams and shrieks were echoing the battlefield, and it infected the rest of the army with uneasiness and fear.

– Kuaaahk!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“Y, Your Highness! atomic Another group has appeared behind us! audit Undeads!”

The great evils of a mythology were intertwined with the shrieks of humans.

This was a scene taken straight out of hell.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“Send the troops with magic resistance armors to the rear. antenna What happened to the supporting bombardments from the mages?”

Hearing the urgent news conveyed by a knight captain, Miruam looked around with a frown.

“They ceased around 5 minutes ago… We believe they have run out of mana.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

The expedition army was packed with mages.

Not only was there the rearguard that had been separated due to the roots of the World Tree, but there were also several mages in every battalion at the very least.

The fact that there wasn’t any more support despite the ample supply of mages, revealed just how much mana they had used, and that in turn reflected the horrendous number of undeads in this area.

There was no more support coming from the distant mages. action Miruam was clearer than anyone else on what that entailed.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

Even from the center of the battalion where she was, Miruam could see the horde of undeads filling the sight as far as the eye could see.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

Just how many undeads were here? abstract No-one could be sure because they couldn’t possibly count all of them.

“Fuu… I wasn’t expecting it to be to this degree.”

The ‘dragon’ that Korin Lork had talked about hadn’t even appeared, and yet things were already looking hopeless.

The enemy was neither an army, nor a group of living creatures that feared death. timber Each and every one of those undeads were pouncing forward at the living regardless of their individual fate.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

He not only stole light from the entire world, but was also having a place full of undeads as his base.

This didn’t feel like anything a human could possibly contend against. armor Miruam felt like a helpless human who had been tossed into the middle of a mythology.

Miruam had been thinking that she had a rough grasp on how strong Tates Valtazar was, but this far exceeded anything she had imagined.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

– M, make the golems come up! crystal Stop them!

– Damn it! auction My weapon’s not working! admire We don’t even have mana or aura! beacon What are we supposed to do!?

– Kuaahk!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

Despite the number of soldiers in their army… it didn’t matter. arctic Numbers had no meaning in this pandemonium.

This battalion was going to be wiped.

“At this rate…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

However, that would result in a sacrifice too big.

She did have a last resort.

‘If so…’

The only ones that were relevant were the select few knights and mages who could make use of aura and mana, and the few troops that had magic resistance armors.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

She was neither as powerful nor as kind as Korin Lork. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. arena The Princess Miruam, who used to make irrational and proactive movements, and was constantly urged by vengeance was no more.

At the very least, Korin Lork would never accept such a turn of events.

What was left was a royal princess who only went by logic and rationality.

‘I’m not Korin Lork,’ she told herself.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

Miruam bit her lips as one of the commanders encouraged her to make the decision. airport He too, appeared to be thinking that there was no way out of this situation.

“Your Highness. antique If you make the decision… we can start any time.”

“…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

Sacrificing the few for the many – no matter how she thought about it, that was the correct decision to make and was the most reasonable and logical choice, but…

Miruam could sense the desires for survival from the eyes of the executive officers near her.

“…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

However, that was why Miruam had to represent the other side. anxiety She knew that everything would immediately cross the line of no return the moment she agreed to their hope.

“Wait…”

They too were only human. arcade They were no hero, and were mere humans who could only come to the same decision whether they tried to think rationally or emotionally.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

Saying that, Miruam poured her mana into her staff, which increased in size until it became an enormous serpent.

Midgardsormr. auction She was able to control it to some extent by herself after hatching the Serpent of Apocalypse.

“Let’s wait a little bit more. adopt It’s… too early to give up.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

The gigantic serpent charged forward. wizard It should be able to suit its title as the Infinity Serpent that could devour anything, and last until her mana ran out.

“Go.”

Of course, it was itching to devour its owner any time, so Miruam had to tread carefully.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

She didn’t have Marie to supply her with mana either so… Miruam bit her lips thinking about the bleak future.

However, it was obvious that her mana would run out first before the serpent could wipe out the endless horde of undeads.

– Kyaaaaah…!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

Light had been extinguished by Valtazar, but the darkness that replaced it was being chased away by radiant sunlight.

Perhaps her wish had made it through. autumn Suddenly, blinding light started to expand all the way from the middle of the darkness.

‘Light? altitude No, this is…’

“Korin Lork, you stupid husband… Hurry up and help me.”

Numbers were meaningless.

The innumerable mobs of undeads shrieked and burned under the sun. aluminum The cleansing aspect of the Sun didn’t allow these wicked creatures to defile the lands any longer and scorched them down.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

One single man was slowly walking forward with the dazzling Sun chasing away the darkness from behind.

But this time, it was to their favor.

– Clomp clomp!

A few moments ago, they had thought the same thing and their thoughts did not change.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

The living, who were moments away from being swept away by the flood of undeads, all turned to their savior who had come to their rescue.

How could that man nonchalantly walk through the endless crowd of undeads?

How?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

In the eyes of the soldiers, he was the God of Sun.

With the arrival of the Sun, the undeads had to retreat.

“Apologies for being late.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

The Sun was above them.

****

They were so grateful for what they had taken for granted their whole life, and the soldiers couldn’t care less about their skin that was slowly being scorched from direct sunlight.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

In response to her question, Korin shrugged his shoulders and replied.

“Are you okay? arcade I heard the roots of the World Tree absorbed divine energy,” Miruam asked.

“It looks like there’s been a lot of casualties.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

These soldiers who had confronted their shrieks, screams and curses, deserved a good rest.

For the past three days, this army had to confront the endless waves of undeads without even having the time to rest properly.

The energy consumption of Sun Manifestation was coupled with the energy suction of the World Tree, but Korin still decided to keep the Sun up in the sky.

“The soldiers will become uneasy if I canceled the Sun now. apple I need to force it up for the time being.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“‘Miru’.”

“Don’t push yourself too much.”

“Are you worried about me? adapt I’m glad. echo Thank you, Your Highness Miruam.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“Your Highness Miru?”

When Korin rephrased the way he referred to her, Miruam returned a smile that was devoid of any toxicity.

“‘Miru’.”

“Hmm?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“So… did you come by yourself?” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“Thank you for coming, but frankly speaking, you alone won’t be able to save us from this. acoustic That Sun… you can’t keep that up indefinitely, right?”

Korin didn’t deny her conjecture. agent At best, he would only be able to keep it up for another four hours. athlete That was the limit despite the buff he was receiving from the well water of Mimisbrunnr.

“I’m the only one that could walk through those undeads, after all.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

At this rate, they were all going to die. action As such, Miruam and the executive officers saw the bleak future ahead of time and had come together for a plan.

“A plan?”

“Yes. afford This army is practically powerless at this point. meadow Although we do still have knights and mages, the regular soldiers can’t participate in combat anymore.”

“We had a plan.” alpha Miruam said.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

Choosing to join another battalion because they won’t be able to break through alone was a reasonable choice, and a natural course to take if possible.

“What was the plan?”

“…It’s simple. admire Grouping up the few mages we have left, we will carry out a ‘group teleportation’. artist The coordinates… will be set using Josephine Clara’s marker.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“…There’s no way that will be able to cover for everyone.”

“You’re right.”

However, there was a flaw to the plan that was so obvious anyone could see let alone Korin Lork.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

“There are 6,300 of us left. amateur The number of people we can take with group teleportation is less than half of that.”

Miruam didn’t bother decorating the plan with flowery words. galaxy It was a realistic measure to address a real problem.

Hearing her acknowledgement, Korin understood what the plan was, and couldn’t help but frown.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 249: The Three Wells (2) by Indra Translations.

And the ones being discarded would naturally be the weakest of the group.

In other words, that meant the rest would be discarded.
