I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist chapter 190

190. Destroyer Cannon (2)

“Let me see you, Your Majesty!”

“Uh huh. They tell me not to let anyone in now.”

“It’s urgent! Your Majesty will understand!”

“But I can’t.”

The knight who had been blocked in front of the emperor’s bed burst into anger in frustration.

“Listen to me. This is an emergency. An airship from the 1st Division has taken off without permission and has now flown to the islands and has been confirmed to have fired a gravity weapon. The airship is even loaded with live annihilation ammunition. I need to ask His Majesty immediately and get permission to attack our airships-“

“Tell me when Your Majesty comes out.”

“Oh! These people are real!”

It was such an urgent matter that I rushed to the imperial palace immediately after the first report, but I was continuously being denied an audience with the emperor.

The airship that took off from the 1st division was flying to the islands ignoring all communications.

It was a situation worthy of suspicion of seizure or treason by the enemy.

However, the Imperial Army can initiate its own response right after the airship opens fire.

In other words, to attempt a preemptive subjugation, the emperor’s permission was required.

“I just want to ask your Majesty. Did you know about today’s flight?”

“Tell me when you come out.”

“It’s been the same thing since before!”

It seemed like anger was bubbling from the inside.

If I had known this would happen, I would have brought General Roman.

Even if someone with a higher rank came, would they have ignored it like this?

The knight, who was shaking his legs in nervousness, made a decision after much thought.

“What are you doing right now?

“aaah! Get out of the way!”

It was decided to push all the ministers and ministers blocking the path and break through.

The knight ran down the hallway and slammed the door open.

At that moment, the blade of the sword that flew at breakneck speed stopped in front of the knight’s face and neck.

I could see the figure of the emperor sitting on the other side of the sad blade.

“Your Majesty! This is an emergency! An airship that was not scheduled to fly has taken off and approached the islands! Could it be that the Emperor gave a separate order?”

“·······.”

“If not, please allow a pre-emptive strike! Somehow, the annihilation can cause civilian damage…!”

The knight, who was holding both arms tightly, was dragged out by the escort knights before he could finish his words.

As soon as the door slammed shut, the driver took on a devastated expression.

The emperor did not look back the whole time and did not react at all.

Are you sleeping while sitting?

If that’s not the case, why are you deliberately pretending not to hear me?

“Ha·······.”

As they were dragged underground, the knight let out a sigh.

Annihilation Cannon.

The artifact, also called the essence of imperial magic engineering, is famous as a weapon that can pierce any castle with one shot.

The cost to fire one shot is about 10% of the empire’s annual budget.

Although it aims to be the most powerful siege cannon, its firepower has already gone far beyond the siege level, and it is still seeking to increase its firepower.

It is an openly known fact that the actual use of the annihilation cannon is a weapon to kill demons in case of emergency…

Is the setting of the annihilation gun in my novel.

However, the cannon’s cannon was open and shining.

That was also towards me.

“Aww…!”

I tried using the internal circuit to the maximum and giving strength to my whole body, but I ended up walking only a few steps.

No matter what happened, the airship would continue to correct its aim and aim at me, so it was pointless and just a burden to the body.

As soon as I lowered the operating rate of the internal circuit to its original level, I almost hit the ground again.

‘You really want to shoot…?’

Red light began to emanate from the fully open gun gate.

That is definitely an airship belonging to the Imperial Army.

But why are you aiming at me?

Even though this is the outskirts of the system, it is a residential area.

It may be possible to evade the shells by running the internal circuit so that my body burns, and at the same time using ‘Selection and Concentration’ on strength and agility.

But escaping the explosion after that was another matter.

Aside from that, what else can you do with civilian casualties?

The moment the shells land, the area will be completely flattened, resulting in a massive number of deaths.

From noble mtl dot com.

Dodging shells was never an option.

I absolutely had to block the impact.

There is only one thing that comes to mind that way.

‘We must shoot it down!’

The magic power left was around 70,000.

After strengthening mana with ‘Selection and Concentration’ earlier, the time limit was over, and the number gradually decreased from 100,000 to 70,000.

When ‘Selection and Concentration’ is used for the first time, the magical power reserve increases all the way to the maximum value, but from the second time onwards, only the maximum value increases, and the amount of magic power remains the same.

In other words, the magic power I could project right now was 70,000.

No, even at this time I’m thinking about it, it was gradually decreasing.

Even if you open a barrier with only 70,000 magic power, you will show the same level of protection against the Destroyer Cannon.

Then there is no other way than to shoot it down.

‘Hey. The technique is a bit crude.’

He hastily developed a wind magic spell that can produce the highest efficiency with 70,000 mana.

There was no need for the powerful firepower of flash magic or flame magic.

Even if the annihilator is only slightly damaged, it won’t be able to fire.

It was a waste of time to hesitate, so I immediately finished aiming and fired the magic, but-

Kooung······!

“What?!”

The magic was blocked by the air.

At the moment it collided with a mass of air, a wave front appeared in the air.

‘Barrier!’

A high-output barrier protecting the airship had spread.

I didn’t notice it at all because it was developed together with the elaborately hidden recognition system.

In the meantime, it seems that preparations for firing were completed, and the cannons emitted a fierce light and gradually protruded to the front.

[Quest: Survive for 2 minutes.]

[Difficulty: ★★★★★]

[Reward: 20 Shop Coins]

“Ha. I’ll turn around.”

I finally understood the meaning of the quest.

No blackmail or threats, the annihilation cannons are fired for real.

That’s also a direct hit towards me.

Now that I’ve used up all my mana, there’s no way to stop it.

As long as you don’t hit the shells with your hands…

[Complete Quest]

“Huh?!”

At that time, I gave out an embarrassing voice due to fostering.

Obviously, there were two minutes left for the quest, but just as I was wondering what had happened, the reward window came to mind.

[As a reward, the ability to harden the extremities of the body is added to the internal circuit.]

The moment I saw that sentence, it came to my mind.

A quest that appeared soon after being possessed by this world.

This must have been the reward for the quest to keep the top rank throughout the first semester.

In other words, I was just confirmed as the head of the Department of Elemental Magic and the Department of Combat Magic in the first year of Imperial University.

‘Wait a minute. Hit the shells with your hands…’

I just started seriously considering a possibility that I thought was a joke.

Even if ‘selection and concentration’ is used for strength, the effect is not as dramatic as expected.

Of course, it won’t take any damage from most shocks, but I realized after being beaten by Sergei that I wasn’t at all invincible.

So, with enough momentum to kill a demon, there’s no way they’ll be able to parry the cannonballs that fly in.

It was almost certain that her hand would break the moment the shell hit it, like a plastic bottle crumpling.

However, how about using the quest reward you received this time?

It was only said to be ‘hardening of the body’s extremities’, but it was not specified at all how hard it would be.

But I haven’t had time to test it out now.

I just have to believe it.

There was no answer other than to pray that the ‘hardening’ would be invincible and never be broken.

‘Let’s try it.’

Hardened her heart.

I pulled my left foot back, activating the internal circuit to its maximum.

Then he stretched out his right hand and placed it beside his head.

The gaze continued to stare at the gunfire, and an eternity-like moment passed-

‘Shot!’

A light as strong as the sun burst out of the cannon.

‘Selection and concentration. Use 1 second each for agility and strength.’

At that moment, the invisible movements of the shells were captured.

Still fast, but visible.

If it’s even a little bit earlier, it will hit the fuse part of the shell and explode it.

If you’re even a little late, you won’t be able to change the trajectory enough, and you’ll land in a residential area instead of a plain.

The result was the same even if the angle was slightly increased or decreased.

I had to hit it with my hands at the right timing and angle.

“Damn it…!”

The moment the shells rushed right in front of my eyes, I thrust my left foot forward and slashed my hand.

Kang! Kaga-Gak…!

With an ominous sound, sparks flew from the shells the blade touched.

As soon as the trajectory of the shell was slightly distorted by the blade of the hand, one second passed.

Swi-Ik······!

The shells in front of my eyes just now disappeared.

The wind that blew right after that stirred my hair.

I was momentarily dazed and froze.

After a while, the sound of firing came from the front with a bang.

The annihilation cannon was clearly fired.

It means that what happened just now wasn’t a dream.

Then what happened to the shells I hit?

Kwaang······!

“Ugh.”

A bright light flashed from behind.

With him, a roar and wind blew in like a typhoon and overtook me.

A huge mushroom cloud was rising into the sky before I knew it.

“I did it…”

The landing point is a plain plain far away from the center of the island.

Not even one sheep was caught in the blast.

“Ha·······.”

On the other hand, my hand blades were fine.

There was no pain even after receiving that tremendous amount of momentum with a direct hit, albeit at an angle.

It was said that the end hardening was invincible or equivalent.

Well, it took the whole first semester, and if it was a quest of that vicious difficulty, there was no way they would give you a fraudulent reward like this…

I lost my strength in the sense of dejection and knelt down on his knees.

But something was strange.

This gravitational magic weighing me down was still there.

“No way…”

I gulped and looked at the airship’s gunfire.

The gunfire had already lost its intense light, but the faint light gradually came back.

You’re going to reload and fire another shot?

To think that they would drop 10 percent of the national budget into the islands two at a time.

Even if they went crazy, they were still crazy.

“Don’t lie to me, f*ck…!”

But the problem is that the time limit for ‘selection and concentration’ has run out.

I already used up 5 seconds today.

Even if the shells flew, there was no way to deflect them anymore.

In the meantime, the ominous light emitted from the gun gate gradually grew stronger and became the same as the one emitted just before launch.

It’s really over now.

Koo Goong! Koo Goo Goo…!

At that moment, the barrier floating in the air was shattered with a series of explosions.

A bundle of flashes rose in the distance and pierced the airship with a direct hit.

Flames erupted from the flashlight hole, and the airship began to slowly descend.

At the same time, the power that weighed me down disappeared.

The airship… Was really shot down.

-Are you all right, young knight?

I recognized it as soon as I heard the voice flowing through the communication magic.

He was the second hero in the history of the Imperial Army to sit on the throne of the enemy, and the voice of my debtor.

I was so relaxed that I laid down on the ground.
