117 – Corruption
Jin Park Shin was convinced the moment he opened his window in a world slowed down by excessive concentration.
‘This duel is your victory.’ Called.
The rush at maximum speed achieved by running in a straight line from the castle wall to here, the concentration and sense of battle raised to the highest level by successive battles, and the deep will emitted as all of these elements melt into one point are truly true. It gave Park Shin an unwavering sense of confidence.
This is truly the highest and best blow that the current self can deliver.
Even though he struck it out on his own, it was a blow so perfect that it sent shivers down his spine and joy.
He was confident that this blow would work not only on superhumans, but even on powerful people far above his current level, even strong people who had reached the level of demons.
Seuuu-
What Seonwoo Lee did in response was a stab that stretched straight enough to feel beautiful, but was so fragile.
But Jin Park Shin never relaxed.
The opponent is a warrior with a talent for swordsmanship that exceeds his own talent with a spear, and is something that only one person comes across every 100 years.
No matter how meaningless the moves made by such a person seemed, there was no way I could let down my guard.
That’s why Jin Bakshin poured all his sharpened intention and magical power into the spear.
The best thing he could do at the moment was to crush whatever his opponent was doing with this spear and take his opponent’s heart.
That’s why.
That’s why.
The moment when my spear collided with my enemy’s sword, which seemed to momentarily sparkle with black light──
“──Huh?”
──Jin Park Shin was frozen in a daze.
Even though it was a huge mistake that a warrior who had reached mastery should never have made. Jin Bakshin did not feel the slightest sense of shame…. No, not exactly.
This was because a ‘strange phenomenon’ Occurred that His thinking stopped momentarily.
Even though the spear that broke the speed of sound collided with the sword, there was no feeling whatsoever.
The spear did not pierce the sword.
Because there was no feeling of penetrating metal.
But it wasn’t like it was thrown away.
Let alone the sound of a collision, there was not even an aftereffect of the attack.
The feel of the strong hand holding the spear was a completely different sensation from when the spear was launched into a majestic mountain, into the deep sea, or even into the air.
All I can feel at my fingertips is nothingness. An empty, empty feeling.
The physical power and magic power in the spear, ‘All energy suddenly seemed to have disappeared in an instant’ At this strange and bizarre phenomenon, Jin Park Shin even felt a sense of extreme emptiness.
And that is Lee Seon-woo’s five senses, the ability of [Infallible Empty Blood].
The moment when the flow of space overlapped to its limit at the tip of the sword ruptured. Comma An ‘extremely small-scale energy dissipation phenomenon’ that occurs in a small area less than 1 cm in diameter during a split second of less than 0.1 Seconds.
Using it to completely return the enemy’s attack to nothingness.
Delicate skills and sense in manipulating space, observation skills close to predicting the center of an enemy attack at the moment when the extinction phenomenon occurs in less than 0.1 Seconds, and extremely detailed swordsmanship skills to realize it. It is a misconception with zero practicality that can barely be realized only if all of these conditions are met….
The perfect 【Infallible Empty Blood】 that is released when all of those requirements are met is truly worthy of being called a ‘magical sword of absolute defense’. Had the ability

“…Huh!?”
And Jin Bak-shin, who was swallowed up entirely by the Five Will, reflexively tried to quickly retrieve the spear….
“What…?!”
I opened my eyes wide at the motionless window, fixed in the air.
Reasonally, I knew that I had to put down the window right now. Due to the momentary hesitation caused by the spear’s instinct to never let go of the spear, the action stopped for a very brief moment.
It only happened for a split second, less than 0.1 Seconds, but──
───That split second decided the fate of the duel.
Kang-!
When Jin Park-sin paused for a moment, Lee Seon-woo broke the sword, which was fixed in the air like the spear, without hesitation.
Whisper!
I rotated my body and instantly entered the gap between the windows.
“Ugh…!?”
When Jin Bakshin came to his senses, the half-cut sword body was already being swung around his neck.
‘…… ‘You lost.’
Jin Park Shin smiled bitterly as he felt the cold steel blade digging into his neck.
───Seogeuk
Immediately after that, Jin Park Shin’s head rose into the air.
The last thing Jin Bakshin saw in his increasingly blurred vision was a broken straight sword cutting through three flags.

“Everyone worked hard in this match.”
Professor Ellini spoke bluntly as usual to the Class A students sitting in the classroom, but with a small smile on her lips.
At those words, the students who performed to some extent in the competition smiled faintly, and the students who did not perform well smiled in embarrassment.
But there was one thing they had in common: they were all glancing at Professor Ellini with eyes filled with anticipation.
“Heh.”
Professor Ellie Ni smiled faintly as if she knew what you guys wanted and operated the professor-only terminal.
『 (50000) Valhalla points have been paid.』
The terminals of all Class A students beeped at the same time, and a message appeared informing them that points, a reward for winning the class competition, had been awarded.
“Yaaahhooooo!!!!!!”
“I can finally buy that weapon!”
“With this, we say goodbye to the level 5 training center where only scarecrows appear…”
“Name all the elixirs in the store!”
“What are you going to buy?”
“A hair growth product worth 50,000 points. I’ve been aiming for it since I entered school.”
“Ah. Ah… Yes… Well, cheer up…”
Students talking loudly and excitedly.
Professor Elini watched the scene for a moment and then said, mate! She drew the students’ attention again with a powerful applause.
“It would be better to use points in a planned manner. There are only a few things in a year where you can earn such a large amount of points at once.”
“””Yes!”””
“The last thing to convey is the ‘MVP’ who showed the best performance in this competition. It was decided unanimously among the professors….Well, of course, you all know that.”
After saying that, the eyes of Professor Elini and all the students in Class A were focused on me.
“Congratulations, Seonwoo Lee. You are the MVP of this match.”
Tiring!
[You have completed the sub-quest ‘Anti-Counter War: Flag War’!]
[You have achieved the hidden quest ‘Destroy all flags!’!]
[Quest completion reward goes up one level!]
[You have achieved the hidden quest ‘MVP!’!]
[Quest completion reward goes up one level!]
[Quest completion reward: 60,000 store points, B grade attribute: Obtain !]
The system window fills the field of view at the same time as Professor Elini’s declaration.
The moment to look at it.
Clap clap clap!
Lots of applause echoed throughout the classroom.
“Congratulations, Seonwoo!”
“Congratulations! With this, there’s not much left to reach the goal point!”
“Congratulations, Sunwoo.”
“Congratulations~!”
Not only my friends who were happy as if it were their own work, but also other Class A students clapped and congratulated me.
“Thank you, Chief! Thanks to you, our class won!”
“That’s right! I’ll buy you a meal in return, so tell me how much you want!”
“I give you the right to use my special hair growth agent!”
“No, that’s not necessary.”
After rejecting the words of the student with shiny hair, I got up from my seat. He raised his hand and declared.
“To celebrate the victory in this competition, I’m shooting everyone! Everyone in the class, follow me!”
Wow ──!!!!!!
When I said this with a smile, the students cheered loudly.
…… Grumbling.
The noisy students, specifically, were glaring at Lee Seon-woo, who was at the center of them all. There was one red-haired student who left the classroom gritting his teeth….
No one cared.

“f*ck! f*ck, f*ck! Shibaaal—─!!!!!”
In a deserted alley.
Fiat, a man with blood-red hair, was constantly swearing and pounding the wall with his fists as if he was venting his anger.
Quad! Quad deuk!
The crack in the wall gets wider every time the fist is thrown down.
Warr!
Soon, the wall that could not withstand the fist collapsed.
Because I didn’t use [Hardening] Or magic power, red blood continued to drip from my clenched fist….
Nevertheless, Fiat’s anger did not subside one bit.
“This guy, that guy! You’re humiliating this body…!!!”
What constantly appeared in his mind was the image of those who had defeated him so far.
Lee Seon-woo, who hit him head-on during the entrance exam with the same gift as himself.
Suu Icicle froze himself in an instant in a virtual dungeon.
And even Jin Park-shin, who looked down on himself as if he were pitiful as he crawled on the ground after having his heart pierced during the anti-war battle.
“Those guys are more genius than this body? Stronger than this body? … Don’t make me laugh! I can’t admit it…! I can never admit it!!!”
Since I realized my gift when I was 5 years old, I have never been hurt or defeated by anyone my age, and my confidence has grown greatly…… No, for Fiat, who had arrogance, defeat was a greater humiliation than anything else.
“I will kill you…! I will definitely kill those bastards…!!!”
“──I will help you. That wish.”
“…Oh?”
From behind the Fiat, which was about to run amok again, a low but somewhat uncomfortable voice was heard.
When I turned my head, I suddenly saw a man standing in an alleyway where there had been no one until just a moment ago.
Fiat looked at his man’s face and narrowed his eyes.
“You must be…”
“My identity doesn’t matter. Rather, I will help you make your wish come true.”
“…Ha! It’s funny and I’m embarrassed. How can you guys help me───”
“───I will give you strength.”
The doll said so and held out an object to Fiat, who was laughing.
It is a small bottle containing a red liquid that emits a luminous light that attracts people, but somehow gives people goosebumps.
“Drink this.”
“…You want me to drink this?”
“Yes. Then you will receive the blessings of the great and holy god we serve, and awaken the mighty power sleeping within you.”
The man said something suspicious to anyone and handed Fiat a bottle filled with red liquid.
“You crazy bastard. Who would eat something so suspicious…”
Tall-
Fiat was about to throw the bottle on the ground, but something that passed through his mind stopped him reflexively.
The moment I was about to throw the bottle. This is because in his mind, Changsha’s gaze appeared, looking down at him as if he was pitiful.
When Fiat entered school, she would have snorted, thrown the bottle of this suspicious liquid on the ground, and sneered at her man.
However, Fiat, who was defeated by stronger players than himself and whose pride was cracked, was unable to give up his illness right away.
“Why are you hesitating? If you drink just this, you will have the strength to achieve your wish.”
The man’s gentle whisper of temptation penetrates into the Fiat’s ear.
Fiat quietly looked down at the bottle,
Pong-
I opened the cap of the bottle.
“…If you have tricked this body, I will definitely pull out your intestines and kill you.”
Fiat shot the man who was casting his gaze in this direction and quickly drank the liquid in the bottle.
The moment when a fishy red liquid passed down his throat.
──Exciting!
Fiat’s pupils grew to their limits.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…!!!!!”
A burning sensation, as if I had swallowed lava, spreads from the stomach to the entire body in an instant.
I feel pain as if all the muscles, bones, and cells of my entire body are melting.
My vision blurs like paint dropped in water, and my thoughts stop as if my brain is melting due to immense heat.
I don’t even know if I’m standing on my own two legs or lying down, and I can’t even tell if what’s pouring from my mouth is a sharp scream or hot, boiling blood.
The only thing I know is that my life is fading away.
“Off… Off…”
And the moment when the fire of life, burning like a fragile candle, is about to go out.
───■■■.
Fiat sensed the gaze of the ‘Overwhelming being’ And froze.
An absolute presence that feels like your body, mind, and soul are being crushed just by sensing it.
“Ah, ah….”
In front of the overwhelming, fearful, and despairing gaze that forced him to realize that he was inferior to the insignificant, Fiat bowed his head with awe welling up deep in his heart.
I don’t even know its name, but that Great being That even voicing the question feels like a great sin is my master.
Fiat was realized with the soul.
And towards him, the unknown great being dropped a black drop of light.
“Oh, oh oh oh……!!!!!!!”
Fiat burst into tears of joy as he felt the grace bestowed by his master reorganize his body and instantly color his mind and soul.
Soon, the moment when black light engulfed everything in Fiat.
In the dark alleys of the Academy, a new believer of the Demon God was born.
“hahahaha, hahahaha!!!!!!”
Fiat burst into laughter as the ecstasy and sense of omnipotence coursed through his entire body.
A torrent of magical power as thick as tar and as evil as the devil burst out from Fiat’s entire body.
“Congratulations on your birth, new compatriot.”
Hide the magic power of Fiat spreading around him with a barrier, and the mysterious man, the highest-ranking believer BS, celebrated the birth of a new compatriot.

The day after we had a congratulatory party where we had fun eating and drinking with our classmates.
“Is this the ‘Great Library’ of Valhalla Academy, where all the books in the world are located…?”
I looked up at the huge library in front of me and muttered.
