A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy chapter 175

175 – Demon (4)

The nameless devil made a last-ditch effort to summon a monster, but it was meaningless.

Those who flocked into the cave were annihilated after firing a few death beams, and there were only a few individuals waiting outside.

The guys waiting outside were dealt with directly with an axe, not a bayonet. I didn’t know what would happen if I swung the great sword for no reason.

In this way, we were able to deal with the demons and clean up the monsters. There were so many monsters that had been subdued that it seemed like competition in the food chain would be noisy for a while.

“Tsk tsk.”

“Ugh…Do I really need to organize it?”

It was about time to gather the monster corpses scattered here and there in one place.

The priestess who escaped from the cave with me asked me in an incomprehensible voice.

The monster’s complexion turned blue, perhaps because of the corpses, which were all intact.

It is common for someone to explode in the head and spill brain fluid. Corpses cut with axes or with their bodies split lengthwise, etc.

No matter how monster it is, it cannot help but be a grotesque scene. I was even building a mountain with these.

“I like doing it.”

“Why?”

“I’m sick.”

I would leave it all alone, but there are too many numbers. If you’re not careful, a plague could break out.

There was a time like that in the Forest of Chaos. There was a war between groups of monsters, and there were quite a few corpses.

I didn’t know anything at the time and just passed on it, but a few days later something unusual happened.

When I went to the place where the corpses were piled up, my condition deteriorated as if I had been poisoned.

It turned out that the poison created when the corpse decomposed came out like smoke.

Luckily, I left it alone for a few weeks and it resolved itself.

‘Not here.’

This is a forest that people from Unity village often visit. I feel sorry if even one person gets sick.

I piled the corpses one on top of the other and looked around. I wish I had some oil.

If I don’t have one, I plan to start a fire as soon as I don’t have one. No matter how long it takes, the burning remains the same.

Of course, if the forest catches fire, we plan to watch as it is a catastrophe.

“I…”

“Huh?”

The last time was when I brought in the torch that had been placed in the cave.

The priestess who had not said anything while I was working quietly called to me.

He looks hesitant, but it looks like he has something to say. I threw the torch at the mountain of corpses.

Howling!

The fire started well even without any oil. It seems to be thanks to the fat present in the body itself.

Meanwhile, the priestess looked at me and immediately lowered her head.

“It’s late, but… Thank you! Thank you so much!”

A priestess bending her waist almost 90 degrees. It seems she was timing the timing to send her thanks.

I found myself scratching my head as I looked at the thanks. To be honest, saving the priestess was purely accidental.

Moreover, she did not want to have anything to do with this priestess. How did this happen?

“Excuse me, what is your name?”

“Shivar.”

“Shivar? Seriously, is that the wild man of rumors?”

I thought there was no need to deny it, so she nodded. It’s not a rumor I pay much attention to.

The priestess let out a sigh as if she had some idea of who I was. Still, it’s not a negative reaction.

Then she put on her calm expression, placed her hand on her chest, and began to introduce herself.

“Hmm. Hmm. Anyway, nice to meet you. My name is Erica Graham. I am Gaia’s faithful servant. Like Mr. Sivar, I am completing the first year of the Academy.”

“··· ···”

I stared at Erica who introduced herself.

Pink hair and eyes that are rare in this world. It’s truly a unique color.

Thanks to the drooping eyes, his appearance is reminiscent of an innocent puppy.

She is a typical puppy-like beauty. The impression of pure innocence is attractive.

On the other hand, the body is…Well, ordinary. Similar to Luna or slightly better.

Because of Rize’s overwhelming sacred power pocket, all the priests thought it would be big.

Of course, in the future, if we only look at her divine power, she is a character who will become as strong as Rize.

‘This character really gets cancer.’

Then what do you do? Erica is a nuisance character. But before that, she gets cancer.

There are quite a few cases of accidents occurring at important moments, and he is also full of old-fashioned temperament.

“Mr. Sibar, why did you come to this forest?”

“Hunting.”

“Hunting… You mean? Did you really intend to harm lives for personal greed?”

Like right now.

Since she came to the forest to hunt, she has already started the engine.

She is Erica, who just a moment ago was kidnapped by a monster and almost killed by a demon.

I faced her, looking at me with a serious expression. When she heard it herself, she was a little dumbfounded.

“It’s a monster.”

“Even if it is a monster, life is life. Unless it is an unavoidable situation, it is wrong to harm life for personal greed.”

Eolssi-gu. In that case, cancer cells are also considered life.

I easily ignored Erica’s sermon. This is why I hate her.

She is basically full of old-fashioned talent, and because she is a believer in Gaia, she cherishes her life.

That is also terrible. He is a person who seeks to kill even monsters that harm people, saying they are alive.

And as proof, he is a strict vegetarian. She said that eating meat is no different from harming life. What can I say?

Going one step further, I know that most vegetables are collected directly from the forest.

Still, when an ignorant person has beliefs, it is scary and even terrible, so it can be seen as ‘madness’ itself.

“Okay, what about you?”

“Me?”

“Yes. Why did you come?”

“Ah. Well… I was just checking to see if there were any edible fruits or herbs… Yes.”

Erica gave a sheepish look as she finished her explanation. More explanation is still needed.

She is a character you will meet at least after the end of first year and the collapse of her academy.

No matter how coincidental, there is no reason to come to Unity Village. If it’s Byzantine, I don’t know.

“What about the village?”

“Yes?”

“Why the village?”

“Uh… Can you explain it a little longer?”

Oh, by the way. It was my first time meeting him. You’re not an acquaintance.

Erica listened to my long series of questions, and she answered them quietly.

“Actually, I had no reason to come to the village. But as you know, entry to the Forest of Chaos is prohibited, right? I don’t eat meat and am only vegetarian.”

It was because of me. Because the territory has not yet been established, the Forest of Chaos is still off-limits.

It will take about 15 days for it to stabilize. The snowball rolled quite loudly.

“What about money?”

“There is money. But buying with money means buying life. That’s why I tend to collect it myself whenever possible.”

Look at this. Even if she’s crazy, she’s definitely a crazy bitch.

If I was thrown into the wild, Erica lives like a wild person in civilization.

Actually, I think of it as a belief. Most priests are very patient, so they will endure it well.

‘Even the real Chaos will be desperate.’

I wanted to shake her beliefs, but I gave up.

Anyway, we’ll meet once today and ignore each other from now on, so there’s no need to build a relationship.

Because the classes are different, there is almost no connection between them unless I visit them myself.

Tad-tad-tad-

Even as I was talking with Erica, the fire on the mountain of corpses began to grow bigger.

In fact, there is a huge firewood placed there, so a fairly large fire will start.

If I stayed too close, I could get burned, so I kept my distance slightly.

“Gaia, the god of life. Today, countless lives are returning to your embrace.”

Erica prayed while looking at the burning mountain of corpses. Looking at this aspect, he is a typical religious person.

In fact, the belief that life is precious is not bad in itself. Too much is just too much.

A similar example is a medic who rescued a wounded soldier without a gun during World War II.

This is a case where religious beliefs become great courage and become a hero.

Erica could be just like that if she grows up well, but it is too difficult.

‘Stubbornness is unusually strong.’

It’s not like I have an unbreakable heart, it just doesn’t break at all.

Later, it has to break beyond breaking to come to my senses. I don’t have the confidence to take care of it until then.

If you don’t need to take care of her, it would be better to focus your attention on her Jane or her Ellie.

“Shivar!”

“Huh?”

While Erica was praying next to me, a familiar voice reached my ears.

When I turned my head, I saw an unexpected person running towards me.

A woman running towards me with her blonde hair tied in a ponytail fluttering here and there.

“What happened here? What is this mountain of corpses?”

It was Luna. Why on earth is she here?

It was a time when I blinked at a situation that I could not understand at all. Luna’s eyes turned to my hands.

At that moment, her complexion hardened. No, she was more than just stiff, she looked like she had seen a ghost.

Afterwards, Luna looked at me and my hand in turn, and then she asked in a cautious voice.

“What is that sword? Is this your first time seeing it?”

“This?”

I showed the great sword used by the devil, the great sword of blood.

It’s too big to handle with one hand, but it’s also an awkward size to use with two hands.

It’s like this right now, but it will gradually adjust to the owner. There was just a little bit of ego in this sword.

“Yes. That. Where did you get it?”

“Um…”

How should I explain this? I thought for a moment and then realized.

There is no need to add anything to Luna. She knows I know the future.

There was no need to worry about Erica being next to me. All she has to do is be her witness, she won’t deny it.

“To the devil.”

“Devil?”

“Yes. That cave over there. It was there.”

“··· ···”

Even if you don’t know what it is, you seem to believe it. I don’t think there’s any need to explain.

“······Okay. Then, can you give me that sword for a moment? I’ll just check.”

“It’s dangerous.”

The Bloody Greatsword looks really dangerous even from the outside. You can see it just by looking at his eyes right now.

The effect is also close to a kind of ‘magic sword’. Absorbing energy means that the user’s energy is the same.

“It’s okay. I’ll just check and give it to you.”

“Um…Here.”

“Thank you… Huh?!”

As soon as Luna grabbed the handle of the sword I handed over, she was scared.

Her expression was especially strange, and the shape of her mouth revealed all of her white teeth.

“W-what is it? I think my magic power has been sucked out?”

“Yes. This absorbs magical power.”

“Absorbing magical power? Who are you?”

“······So?”

When I think about it, it’s strange. Why isn’t my magic absorbed?

It was while I was tilting my head and expressing doubts. Erica, who had been reciting a prayer next to her, raised her head.

It looks like the prayers are over. The fire on the corpse mountain is burning steadily.

Now it seemed like it would be okay to go back to the village. Erica was the first to open her mouth.

“Hello. Excuse me, but what is your name?”

“Ah, yes. My name is Luna Estelle. What about you, priest?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“My name is Erica Graham. I am Gaia’s servant.”

After a brief statement, we heard about each person’s situation.

Why is Erica here, why did Luna come, etc.

Finally, the situation came to an end with the topic of the devil being brought up.

“I never thought there would be a devil near the academy…”

“I couldn’t even imagine. I survived thanks to Mr. Shivar, otherwise I would have disappeared from this world.”

“What was it like about the devil? I heard that devils are of different colors?”

“Blue.”

If left as is, he will grow into a mid-boss level in the future.

It would be a shame if I killed him quickly, but it would have been a bit dangerous if I had dragged him into a long fight.

“Devils don’t have life. I guess we can skip that part.”

“What?”

“Mr. Sivar is harming lives.”

Here we go again, again.

I frowned and slowly walked away. As a result, I naturally became close to Luna.

When I got close to Luna, she gave me a puzzled look. In the meantime, I gave a warning that wasn’t a warning.

“Luna. She’s strange.”

“Strange? What?”

“It’s just weird. It’s uncomfortable.”

“Hmm…”

Luna looked at Erica at my warning. From the looks of it, she looks fine.

But the madness contained within cannot be explained in words. Maybe Luna would be upset too.

“Luna. What do you think about life?”

At that moment, Erica’s target turned to Luna. I quickly changed my seat.

Naturally, Luna was put in the center. Now I have to leave everything to her.

“Life? Oh, by the way, you said you are a believer of Gaia, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then what do you think, Erica? I don’t have much to do with religion.”

“I am…”

Afterwards, Erica’s long speech continued. This is a longer speech than the one you gave me earlier.

For someone like me who survived in the wild, this belief is no different from a dog shit philosophy.

I was busy making a living right now, but I didn’t understand why they said life was precious.

‘Only people who have money will say things like that.’

Or they are tired of peace. If we could save wounded soldiers even during a war, our thoughts might change.

At least that person was a real ‘religious person.’ A person’s true colors always emerge in times of crisis.

“What do you think? Have you ever thought of cherishing life a little more?”

After finishing her speech, Erica asked with a proud look on her face. She’s like a puppy begging for praise.

“Wow. Really…”

Luna was truly impressed by this.

“You’re having a hard time.”

“······Yes?”

This was a very honest and honest evaluation. Erica’s expression became perplexed.

You probably never expected to hear such a story. However, Luna’s snout did not stop.

She continued speaking without any hint of malice.

“Do you pray even if you step on an ant while passing by?”

“Huh? No, that’s not it…”

“Hmm. Surely that would be going too far? Just because all lives are precious doesn’t mean they aren’t.”

“··· ···”

This is a metaphor that leaves one speechless. She probably has nothing to say to Erica.

This alone is enough, but it is not the end. Luna showed a truly pitiful expression.

“I don’t think I can live like that. I feel like I’ll get stoned if I say that.”

“Yes… Eh?”

“No. If you say that to someone who looks like he’s going to die of hunger right now… Wouldn’t you be hit with a sword, not a stone?”

A single strike followed by a second strike.

“Life is precious. But right now, tomorrow’s lunch is more important to me.”

At the end, there is a finish and a follow-up hit.

“Ah. Then do you eat alone when you eat? You must be very bored.”

“··· ···”

Luna’s snout is going crazy.

[Faith rises!]

It seems that Chaos is also enthusiastically cheering on.
