Chapter 62: The Calamity (1)

“Gah…”

My heart was pounding. palette An unfamiliar emotion surged to my head, tightening the back of my neck like a rope.

The sensation of air barely reaching my lungs was suffocating. anxiety With all my strength, I twisted my body to free my limbs from the invisible magic that held me trapped.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

I pressed my hands against the ground, struggling to suppress the urge to vomit, gasping and grimacing until I managed to lift my upper body.

What the hell is happening?

Even then, the nausea continued to invade me, forcing me to cover my mouth to steady myself.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

The blood flowing from the corpses had formed a viscous layer that enveloped Lei Shen.

I raised my gaze slightly and observed Lei Shen floating in the air.

At first, I thought it was some sort of desperate attack from Lei Shen, but judging by her reaction, it didn’t seem like something she had planned. antenna Her face held the same vacant expression as a soul descending into a bottomless abyss.

And what happened next… is this abomination.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

The light in her eyes was slowly fading, indicating that Lei Shen didn’t have much time left.

The deep red of the blood coating rose to her ears, soaking her completely.

“What is… that?”

With her arms stretched out to the sides, her body was suspended unnaturally.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

Why did the words of my first master suddenly return to my mind?

‘Reflect on your memories, ☐☐. album Even the most insignificant pieces sometimes serve as a mirror to see the future.’

My mind was in chaos. admire However…

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

I gathered my scattered concentration, striving to analyze the situation calmly.

My mind worked quickly.

My greatest advantage in this world was, undoubtedly, my knowledge as a player of *Miracle Blessing M*.

My memories of the game allowed me to foresee future events and prepare for crises that had yet to occur. canvas That knowledge was the key to my survival.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

There was a reason it was called a blessing. absorb Sometimes, it felt as though something invisible was protecting me.

Even as waves of magic cut into my skin, my body didn’t flinch. harbor Instead, I straightened my back and faced the situation head-on.

In this critical moment, the calm with which I assessed the situation must have been thanks to the Blessing of the Sword God.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

I even thought that whoever granted me this blessing must be watching me.

Suddenly, a thought emerged in my mind, and I murmured it softly.

The agitation within me began to dissipate, and a cold logic settled in my chest.

I shook off those thoughts and focused on the recent events, reviewing them quickly in my mind as if I were watching a movie.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

I wasn’t sure, but something this horrifically powerful had to be extremely rare in this world.

The space seemed to tear apart, and screams echoed everywhere.

“A semi-demon transformation?”

A malignant current spread through the area, as if it were trying to erase everything that had happened so far.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

Even if someone had made a pact with a demon commander, a semi-demon was still human.

Even the demon siren’s magic I had fought before, which seemed formidable at the time, was nothing but child’s play compared to this monstrous presence.

However, a semi-demon transformation wasn’t something grand enough to cause a spatial distortion of this magnitude.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

This wasn’t a simple transformation. abstract Lei Shen and her subordinates had been used as sacrifices for a demon commander to descend directly.

…There was only one possibility left.

They couldn’t surpass human limitations simply by signing a contract. arena And if this wasn’t a transformation planned by Lei Shen…

The blood spilled from the corpses had formed a strange pentagram that wrapped Lei Shen in a dark, reddish layer.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

When I understood what was happening, my emotions finally caught up with me, and a wave of nausea escaped my mouth.

“Damn it…”

This wasn’t a metaphor — we were literally screwed.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

The resolve I had been building in my chest to face the situation faltered under the weight of despair.

I looked at Lei Shen again, who seemed on the verge of completing the ritual.

Breathing was becoming more difficult, and the burning sensation in my limbs intensified until it was unbearable.

Even so, the magic in the atmosphere grew heavier.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

I let out a curse as I exhaled. arena Then, I gripped the sashimi knife still streaked with blood and tried to clear my emotions by swinging the blade through the air.

“Well, I’m already here. voyage If I have to die, I’ll at least try something.”

“Damn it, surviving in this world is ridiculously hard.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t my fault, but no one could have imagined that this desperate chain of events would unfold so quickly.

I had wasted 41 precious seconds fighting the Undertakers.

‘I have barely 9 seconds left.’

I couldn’t give up so easily. legend Although the situation was absurd, the only thing I could do was give it my all in one final effort.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

Boom!

…If I had known, I would have reserved at least 5 seconds of my time. antenna But it was too late for regrets.

It was better to risk everything.

I needed to stay conscious. amateur Running wasn’t an option. aspect I knew that if I tried to escape, I would die without even putting up a fight.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

‘It’s here.’

The pressure in the air intensified, weighing down my shoulders under an invisible force, while even the golden glow of Yggdrasil began to dim.

Suddenly, a red bolt of lightning exploded through the gray clouds.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

Instead of the clothes she had been wearing before, her body was now covered in a thin layer of molten blood, woven like silk, forming a red dress that clung to her skin.

A long, intense red light emanated from her eyes.

Lei Shen slowly opened her eyes, revealing only half of them. antique Even with that faint glint in her pupils, it was clear that she was no longer Lei Shen.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

“Haa…”

With just a glance exchanged, a mind-shattering tremor coursed through my bones. crystal It was like being trapped in an indescribable nightmare. atom Though my resolve, forged by all the previous adversities, should have prepared me for this, an uncontrollable fear rose inside me.

I exhaled deeply. august Despite it being a hot early summer day, a cold, white breath escaped my mouth and vanished into the air.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

The feet of “that” touched the ground, interrupting its levitation.

Immediately, all the flow of nature ceased. album The wind stopped blowing, the stream’s water became still, and the sounds of life vanished as if someone had turned them off.

Thud.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

It emitted a single syllable. abstract Then, it began to open and close its hand repeatedly, as if rediscovering how to use its body, before breaking into a deranged laugh.

“Puahaha!”

“Ah…”

The unsettling silence settled like a heavy blanket over the entire place.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

Hearing that laugh, my eardrums felt like they were tearing, and I felt blood trickling down from my earlobes to stain my neck.

When it finally stopped laughing, “that” glanced around quickly before fixing its eyes on me.

With no free hands to cover my ears, I gripped the knife I held so tightly that my fingers began to hurt.

A euphoric and disturbing laugh resonated in the air. harbor Even that simple laughter seemed magical, as if it crushed everything in its path. adapt It was like an insect being crushed under a human’s careless step.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

“…”

Its gaze narrowed, and to my surprise, it raised its hand and greeted me cheerfully.

“Hmm, isn’t that how I should greet you? adjust It’s been 700 years since I left the Demon Realm, so I’m not very familiar with human customs.”

“Hello, little one.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

“Did you do this, little one?”

Without waiting for a reply, it continued talking as if holding a conversation with itself.

With a mocking tone, “that” looked at the corpses lying on the ground and, with a twisted smile, spoke again.

“Impressive. alpha I suppose the fact that you’re still conscious after seeing me means you’re not an ordinary human.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

“Wow! voyage You can resist a mental spell? riddle You’re not just any kid, huh? afford How about we make a deal? crystal Well, you still look like a kid, but I think you have potential.”

As it said this, it licked its red lips with its tongue, and then its gaze lit up as if it remembered something.

Noticing this, it let out a mischievous laugh.

Its voice echoed in my ears like a constant buzzing, a kind of hypnotic echo. arcade I felt dizzy, but I blinked several times, struggling to keep my composure.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

“Oh, right, I haven’t even asked for your name. sphere Humans usually introduce themselves first, right? avalanche Well, I am Agor, commander of the Fifth Army. academy It’s a pleasure to meet you. arctic Now, will you tell me your name? album I tend to remember the names of all my slaves because I’m a very kind mistress, you know?”

I had anticipated that this might happen, but hearing it directly was something entirely different.

Hearing its name, I swallowed dryly.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

The lord of the succubi, known as the King of Dreams, and the commander of the Fifth Army of the Demon King.

Agor.

A demon who mastered fire magic, one of the five elements. atomic Although its physical strength wasn’t remarkable compared to other commanders, it was the absolute master of mental magic.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

As a demon, it followed only its instincts and desires, using dreams as a catalyst to deceive humans and consume their life energy.

I couldn’t underestimate it. adapt Even though Agor was “less prominent,” it was a living catastrophe. antenna Its mere presence was enough to obliterate a small country.

I had stopped playing the game halfway through, but since it was a lustful succubus that men dreamed of, I skimmed through its lore on Kkum Wiki.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

“Ufufu, you know? atomic It’s an honor for me to speak to you personally. adopt It’s been 700 years since I’ve done this. agent I’ll grant you the privilege of becoming my slave, little one.”

“…”

“In the end, you humans aren’t so different from me. aluminum You pretend to be noble while judging and classifying each other, seeking your own benefit, hurting and killing others. sphere Why not dream a glorious dream with me?”

Agor lifted the hem of its blood-drenched dress slightly, letting out a seductive moan laden with an overwhelming concentration of magic.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

Humans judge and classify others for their personal gain. canvas The strong exploit the weak without giving them anything in return.

With its foot, it lightly kicked one of the Undertakers’ corpses while continuing to speak in a hypnotic tone. aspect Its sensual voice oscillated between reality and hallucination, drawing me into its words.

Yes, if you think about it, Agor is right.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

Banks posting red notices all over the house, and society stripping us of any chance of recovery.

I remembered the days of my previous life when my father’s debt destroyed my family in an instant.

Humans are the ones who see injustice, tolerate it, and even go to war for practical benefits.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

I shook off those illusions and, quite literally, cut through the spell with a swipe of my knife.

‘However…’

A sensation of breaking spread through my body, and my mind regained clarity immediately.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

“Oh, why does it seem like my spell isn’t working? atom I used a higher level this time.”

With determination, I planned to cut through both the seductive magic and the fear looming over me.

I pushed aside unnecessary thoughts and adjusted my grip on the knife.

“…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

With Agor muttering something in front of me, I let out a brief, audible laugh.

Agor looked at me silently for a moment and tilted its head to the side.

“Hahaha.”

“Could it be because of this mediocre body? echo Damn it, they asked me to do a favor, and I ended up trapped with this. amateur What can I do with such a useless possession?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

“You’re laughing? arcade You dare laugh at me?”

Silence fell like a shroud over the place.

“Yes, what you’re saying is so absurd that I couldn’t help it.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

Besides, my ultimate goal of staying alive would be far simpler if I sided with the Demon King’s army.

But that’s the devil.

Accepting it would have been the most logical thing. anchor Joining it would make my survival much easier.

Agor’s eyes, filled with fury, pierced me as if trying to crush me.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

I would rather fight with everything I had than live in humiliating submission.

A creature that would betray me the moment I was no longer useful.

It was a demon. armor Not just any demon — it was Agor, commander of the Fifth Army and queen of the succubi.

It lived solely to manipulate and devour.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

Unlike before, a faint light appeared on the sashimi blade.

Shing.

With that decision made, I wiped my knife and said coldly.

“That thing about becoming your slave…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 62: The Calamity (1) by Indra Translations.

“Go fuck yourself..”

For some reason, I laughed in a situation where death was imminent.
