Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2)

“The knights are at the forefront! meadow Follow them!”

The knights were at the center of the formation charging into the waves of undeads.

Knights were those who could manipulate their aura and use it to cover their swords, and aura was a natural counter to undeads and spirits.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

‘I still can’t see any of them.’

“Wait for the mages to fire! antenna We’ll break through the hole!”

At the front of all that was Korin.

The sheer force demonstrated by the living weapons – that is knights and mages – was remarkable. alert It gave off the illusion that they really might be able to break through the waves of tens and hundreds of thousands of undead souls.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

Even though the knights and soldiers at the front were yelling and roaring as they beat those undead souls back into the underworld, Korin was simply running at the lead without swinging his spear.

〚I do not perceive spirits.〛

The reason for that was simple.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

His second Precept made it unable for both him and the spirits to interact.

If he used the Sun, it could annihilate the undeads in less than a second due to their innate nature. aluminum The wicked creatures couldn’t resist the strong cleansing ray of light from the Sun, and it didn’t matter whether Korin could perceive them or not.

It wasn’t like there was no way around it though.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

He had to save his strength until the ‘decisive moment’ that he had in mind.

Knights and mages were like tanks and jets in modern Earth whose stamina was incomparable to normal soldiers.

‘But the knights and mages won’t be able to last forever.’

However, that had to be left behind as a last resort. ability Although his mana regeneration speed had increased significantly thanks to drinking the water from the Well of Mimisbrunnr, the mana consumption of the Sun was still far greater than the regeneration speed.

However, even the greatest of firearms was limited by the amount of their ammunition.

‘There is a time limit on us. palette The only way for us to win here is—’

Currently, the knights and mages were able to overwhelm the waves of undeads, but the moment their aura and mana started to run low, their momentary burst of power would die down.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

[We have relayed the coordinates to Saint Xeruem Choir. armor Cleansing Cross coming soon.]

The only way was to beat the wicked dragon, who was still staying low without revealing itself. apron He had to bait it out and defeat it.

The mages specified the coordinates as the rearguard began firing at the undeads. audit Due to the nature of the enemies, they needed sacred energy, and there were over a hundred priests and sisters answering their call from a distance.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

“Remarkable support,” exclaimed Miruam. galaxy She, who was staying at the lead to maintain the heated morale of the soldiers despite being a princess, commented in admiration of the beam of light falling from above.

Those who could use the power they refer to as ‘sacred energy’ were the long descendents of the gods and titans. apple Although they themselves were unaware of that fact, their prayers and their ‘cleansing’ spells still worked wonders against the wicked undead.

What happened next was obvious.

In the distant past, back when gods and titans were still living amongst the humans, there was a single bloodline that connected the two divine races.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

Considering the amount of support that was coming their way, Korin deemed that it was safe to assume that the other wells had already been taken care of.

“Who was it on that end again?” academy Miruam asked.

“Thank goodness. shadow It seems they are done with Urdarbrunnr as well.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

“Probably. avalanche The real problem hasn’t even come yet though.”

“Marie-sunbae and Master.”

“Then are we going to be done with all the wells when we are done?”

Both Marie and Erin were one of the top powerhouses of this current generation, and nothing there could have possibly stopped them.

“What’s left?”

The enemy was currently far stronger than expected.

“Well, don’t worry.” antenna Korin shook her worries off. auction “We have pretty big numbers, so I’m sure it will turn out one way or another.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

He had a feeling that this fight would ultimately turn out into a similar example.

Even though he had been cutting their forces down for the last 3 years, there was no end to what was coming, and Korin couldn’t be certain about the future anymore.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

One of the knights fighting at the front noticed something off.

After running for who knows how long,

“Huh?”

“The undeads are frightened by something.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

– GOHHHHHHHHHHH—!!

They were so frantic that it couldn’t have been simply due to the knights, mages and priests, and it didn’t take long for the rest of them to catch on.

The ranks of the undeads that had already been in a mess was crumbling even more.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

“B, barrier at the front! admire All mages are to activate their shields!!”

It happened before they could even comprehend what that unknown roar was about. agent One of the higher-ranked mages, whose role was to light up the battlefield and observe the state using his vision amplification spells, suddenly let out a scream in fright.

A chill flashed down their spine like a bolt of lightning.

A roar gave them goosebumps.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

Unlike mages under the Tower of Mages or those affiliated with the Guardian Association, a characteristic of those working in the army was that they followed orders obediently.

What resulted was a sight to behold. athlete The military barrier spell researched and perfected through regular and consistent practice created a thick sheet of barrier at the front of the army to magnificently block anything, whatever the threat may be.

– KWAAAAAAAAAAAA…!

The moment they were given a command by a higher-ranked mage, all the mages working for the military immediately responded with a barrier.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

It left behind devastating remains, and the soldiers were appalled by the sight of it.

But it was then. atomic An ominous aura started to pour out from the darkness.

Like a tidal wave… no – the ray of energy came bursting out in the form of a branch full of thorns, collided with the barrier and… the perfect barrier cast by the military mages couldn’t even last a second.

“That damn lizard starting off with a breath…!”

“Your Highness Miru… Now!”

Korin couldn’t conceal the irritation on his face.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’m the only one that can do it.”

Miruam poured her mana into the familiar residing in her staff. silence It turned into an enormous serpent which woke up the soldiers nearby and urged them to take several steps back.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

Even this was only the size of a baby compared to the full serpent form Korin saw in the last iteration, but asking for that would be the same as asking Miruam to sacrifice herself.

“Don’t even think about not coming back alive. august If you die… I will bring your corpse back to life and order it around forever.”

“Thanks for the ride!”

That was why Korin decided to treat it as a mount instead, since it was much faster and more resilient than a normal human.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

Regardless, Korin got on the head of the snake as the Serpent of Infinity quickly began to break through the center under Miruam’s command.

“…Why are all the ladies around me like this?”

An enormous snake reaching 50 meters in length was a living weapon that could crush everything with its weight, and the spirits with no weight to support them couldn’t even last a single second against it.

“What about Korin?” academy Erin asked.

It was a strange but effective method, because the wells still contained the divine rainwater from the mythological days and were great elixirs.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 251: Life of a Man (2) by Indra Translations.

“I see…”

“Korin-ssi went to help the Hvergelmr side.”

“Let’s cut this horrible tree down.”

There were at least 20,000 soldiers at the base of the tree, and each of them had been required to carry an ax.

The roots, which used to grow rapidly and regenerate in the blink of an eye, withered and wavered instead.

“In other words, we can start chopping it down.’

“How much of a waste would that be? abstract This is one of the few remains of the mythology we have left.”

The World Tree would devour the planet and expand its branches across the world if left alone. alien Cutting this down would put a stop to Tates Valtazar’s plan and with 20,000 men, even a tree as big as this wouldn’t stand a chance.

That was when someone uninvited joined the conversation.
