-Catherine has awakened the hero’s will (level 1)!
‘it’s okay!’
It was close, but I barely made it.
Rather than simply changing classes to a magic swordsman, it was more important to develop a will worthy of a Jinju artificial intelligence.
‘If you do this, you will be able to take a breather from the ‘Deleted Night Episode’ that will start soon. Catherine and the other children will fight well.’
However, not only good things happened.
-Catherine (hero candidate)’s intimacy with you increases!
-Catherine (hero candidate)’s intimacy with you increases!
-Catherine (hero candidate)’s intimacy with you… !
-… Going up!
A message that keeps coming to mind.
-Catherine’s (hero candidate) intimacy has exceeded the first threshold!
-Catherine considers you a ‘trusted professor’!
‘Is this okay?’
A cold sweat broke out.
I was prepared to attract aggro when I started this job, but the increase in intimacy seemed a bit excessive.
‘Anyway, once the deleted night episode is over, I’m going to stay quietly and out of sight… ‘You’ll be okay, right?’
Anyway, something to think about later.
There was something more urgent.
Gooooo!!
I looked at the whirlpool that was wailing like crazy.
‘It’s really scary to see it in person. Catherine, how did she face such a whirlpool?’
I pushed my back to tell him to, but when I actually faced him face to face, the intimidation was no joke.
If it were me, I would never have done it like Catherine.
‘Because there is no need to confront him directly.’
Actually, that vortex wasn’t the problem.
“Stop it now. If you don’t stop, you will see your nest destroyed.”
It was as soon as those words ended.
Sarr.
A blurry ghost appeared.
‘Whirlwind Sword!’
I swallowed my sleep.
He was the main character of myth.
A great hero who protected the world against the great powers of the other world.
‘Why did such a great being appear as a ghost? There was nothing like this in the scenario.’
In the scenario, this whirlpool island was a typical quest dungeon where you overcome difficulties and receive rewards.
There was no such thing as encountering a flurry of swords.
‘Why is this condition like this?’
Kiaaak.
As the gale sword raised its hand, an eerie voice was heard.
It was a ‘ghost haunting’ phenomenon that was said to appear to the worst ghosts.
-The future’s… They are heroes. nice to meet.
The content of the words was an illusion, but it didn’t sound like that at all.
The tension quickly rose.
Catherine seemed to do the same, coming next to me and aiming her broken sword as if she were warningly.
indeed,
-For you… I’m sorry, but I guess I’ll have to die. The world… for.
“!!”
As expected, he did not appear to give blessings.
‘Damn it, why are you always like this! Now you’re the Eight Heroes?!’
Of course, the being in front of him was just a ghost, but even if he had just a speck of the power of the real Eight Heroes, he was an entity that could not resist.
“Shut up, ghost! “No matter how much of a hero you were in the past who protected the world, I will kill you!”
Catherine, who has awakened the will of a hero, steps forward without fear!
‘No, it’s good to be brave, but you have to look at your opponent! ‘Eight Heroes, Eight Heroes!’
However, a fundamental question suddenly occurred to me.
‘Why did the Eight Heroes become like that?’
No matter how many unexpected difficulties I encountered, they were all within the scope of the scenario.
It was strange that the Eight Heroes ended up like that.
‘Strange. It’s a ghost, but I don’t feel any particularly evil intentions.’
They are serious about trying to kill us.
However, there was no sense of evil intent.
On the contrary,
‘Are you sorry?’
I asked, just in case.
“Are you trying to sacrifice us to prevent us from becoming even more terrible monsters?”
-!!
The Ghost of the Storm Sword groaned.
-… okay. Originally, my soul was sealed within these ruins. But suddenly, the evil energy of the other world polluted my soul and I became this ghost.
I made a face.
‘Pollution phenomenon. This only happens during the ‘Prelude to Destruction’ scenario in 3rd grade.’
Swift Sword continued.
-If this continues, I will become a terrible monster who will stain the world with blood. So, challengers who came to this whirlpool island were used as sacrifices to prevent the situation from worsening.
It was difficult.
If the flurry of swords completely loses its temper and turns into an evil spirit and goes on a rampage, it will not end with one or two people dying.
‘But I can’t give up my life.’
Fortunately, one way came to mind.
“Isn’t this a problem that can be solved if you disappear?”
-!!
“It’s not like I wanted to stay in this world anyway. “I will make you humble.”
Storm Sword shook his head heavily.
-impossible. Because of the tricks of the ‘degenerate’, this whirlpool island is blocking my soul’s return to heaven.
It was my first time hearing this story.
Because the era of the Eight Heroes was not part of the scenario.
but,
“You forgot what I told you earlier. “I can take down this whirlpool island.”
-!!
It wasn’t a lie.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘I am no longer the person I used to be.’
I looked inward.
Next to the heart, to be exact.
I felt something small and spherical.
‘We succeeded in creating the core!’
… In fact, it was not a perfect core.
It was small compared to the core of a typical 2-star wizard.
One half? No, to be honest, it was about the size of a quarter, but it was a very precious core to me.
‘Creating a core doesn’t mean I’ll immediately become a second star.’
Literally, only the ‘vessel’ was completed.
The amount of mana is still below the 1st star level, so in the future, this bowl must be filled with mana to become a perfect 2nd star level.
On the contrary, it also meant this.
‘With just mana, you’re no different from a 2-star wizard.’
… I felt self-destructive doing this with a basic level 2 character like a dog or a cow, but it meant a lot to me.
“Give me the elixir.”
-!!
“I know you have a lot of elixirs. “Please shake it all off, leaving nothing out.”
‘I’m taking this opportunity to feast on the elixir!’
Basically, if you clear this whirlpool island, you will receive elixirs, etc.
Of course, you will have a lot of it stored away.
-… Here it is.
“Five pills? Why is this all there is?”
-… I forgot.
“What if you’re a ghost?”
-Even if you’re a ghost, you can’t give up your greed.
The Galegeom averted his gaze as if embarrassed.
It was hard, but five pills were plenty.
‘If I eat more than four eggs anyway, my blood vessels won’t be able to handle it. Let’s give the remaining pill to Catherine later.’
For a moment, Rivel also came to mind, but he shook his head.
To Libel, the elixir was poison.
“let’s begin.”
I poured four elixirs into my mouth at once.
“No, Professor?! Are you crazy?! “Elixir all at once?!”
“Okay. “I don’t mind.”
This wasn’t because I was good.
Because of mana insensitivity, most of the energy is volatilized, so there is no burden on the body.
‘No matter what, isn’t this too low in efficiency? ‘Why is there so little left?’
As I’ve said repeatedly, my mana efficiency is 1/10th that of an ordinary person and 1/100th that of a wizard.
If I just leave it alone, it’s really going to blow away, so I tried my hand at it.
Faaah!
The core wriggled, and some of the volatilized energy was caught and drawn to the core.
‘We imitated the nature of a vortex and gave the core a ‘gravity’ property that attracts energy. So that I can absorb a little more mana.’
For reference, the higher the Aspect, the more mana is required for the spell.
You can think of it as increasing squarely rather than doubling.
If you don’t use this method, you won’t be able to use spells properly even if you reach 2 star status at most.
‘Of course, this only slightly increases efficiency.’
Still, I was barely able to gather enough mana into the core to meet the requirements of a 2-star level.
‘Have I become 2nd rank? really?’
… Unfortunately, it wasn’t right away.
It was just confined to the core, but a process was needed to melt it and make it completely mine.
Still, it was only a matter of time, and it was certain that I would become a second star, so I was so moved that I wanted to raise my hands and shout hurray.
That wasn’t all.
‘I’m invincible now.’
Grumbling.
The volatilized mana continued to linger without leaving the body.
This was due to the vortex effect of the core.
Even though it was not absorbed into the core, it was prevented from leaving the body by manpower, even if only for a moment.
‘It’s a one-time thing, but I can use this mana.’
That’s as much mana as 4 elixirs.
A decent level. 7 It was at a level comparable to that of the Master.
I raised my hand.
“Catherine, look carefully.”
Goooooh.
Mana fluctuated.
Compared to the previous swallow’s eye-sized sheep, it felt as if the sea was rumbling.
A shiver went up.
“Dual Knights must maintain a balance between sword and magic. Use my magic now as your guidepost for the future.”
Paaat!
Two stars rose.
The reason a wizard’s level is expressed in terms of star status is because the number of stars that can be handled varies depending on the level.
There have been times when high-level magic has been imitated, but it has only been manifested by replacing it with a single star.
This is my first time drawing two stars myself.
‘There’s no comparison.’
Having two stars does not simply mean that the amount of magic is doubled.
By combining, distributing, and placing spells on two stars, it was possible to unleash power that could not be produced with a single star.
-Mana Bomb.
It is a 2-star improved version of Mana Needle.
The so-called mana bomb.
The power was an ordinary low-level magic, but what was unfolding in my hand was nothing like that.
2 stars compressed to the limit.
The volatile mana of four elixirs resided in the two stars, and exploded into the core of the vortex.
-Kuaaa!!!!
A loud noise shook the entire island, and the whirlpool began to disperse.
It was a success!
-does not make sense?! Is this possible? Could it be that you are the savior of the fate decided by the world… ?
“It’s not like that. never.”
I shook my head resolutely, afraid to deny it.
“Now that the seal that bound your soul has been lifted, you can leave this world like this.”
‘Let me go and rest now!’
However, something unexpected happened.
Rumbling.
The island shook as if there had been an earthquake!
At the same time, a black hole began to open in the center of the island.
It was a familiar phenomenon.
‘It’s a crack!’
Originally, this whirlpool island was an unstable place, but the impact had just opened up space!
It was a big deal.
‘If you leave it alone, the other world and this world will be connected! We have to close it!’
It was dangerous, but it wasn’t the time to argue about this or that.
At this point, opening a portal like that means game over.
Fortunately, there was still volatile mana left.
‘you can do it!’
“professor? danger!!!”
Paaa!
I did my best to prevent the black hole from opening.
Fortunately, we were able to take action in time and stop Sadal.
‘Is it done?’
I was sighing in relief, when suddenly I heard an unexpected sound in my ear.
-you… Who are you… ?
“!!”
It was a sound coming from beyond the crack.
As I looked inside through the still slightly open gap, I couldn’t help but widen my eyes.
A woman was wandering in an alien space beyond the crack, completely disfigured.
It was a known being.
‘… ‘He’s the devil king.’
He was the only emperor in the world.
However, the Demon King said something strange.
-You… Are you a new ascendant?
