Episode 229
59. Freshman Entrance Ceremony (7)
There are several types of DLC for the game. From adding content to adding scenarios.
This is because, unlike online games that can continuously supply in-game goods in the first place, console games like Paradise Academia are all about revenue from game sales.
Since sales volume is directly related to profits, of course, the income curve is bound to bend after a certain period of time.
The economic burden will come again from the game company’s point of view.
Therefore, they used to make up for the lack of funds by releasing additional packages called DLC at regular intervals.
Because that’s the normal way of earning console games.
From the perspective of fans and users, it is certainly welcome to see content that can be enjoyed more from the game they love.
It was the biggest problem for users in which direction it was oriented.

Most of the DLC contents often include additional stories or scenarios that existing characters can enjoy as they are.It was natural.
After seeing the ending of the game, the goal of the character I worked hard on disappears.
Repeating quests, repeating dungeons, and interacting with NPCs and heroines that you see occasionally are over.
So I’m sorry
Game companies exploit this point to allow DLC to allow users to experience the world after the ending once again.
Of course, sometimes, as now, DLC was released that felt like it was possible to enjoy the same story with different characters.
For example, a game famous for its horror action zombie game was like that.
It is the same point of view as the main character, and the map that is the background of the work is also the same. When the character playing the player, the situation the character is in, and the goal are different.
In the case of this DLC, I think it’s a pretty good merit to be able to see an ending that is different from the main story.
And the DLC applied to me was the latter.
Baeksanwoo DLC, Fragments of Chaos.
From the beginning, the person I possessed was designed as the perfect antithesis of the protagonist of the absolute good.
It’s not set in the world after Aidan Christopher’s rise as a hero.
This means that the main content is another main character, ‘Baeksanwoo’ who lives in the same era.
If so, shouldn’t the ending of the game itself be different?
The original ending of the game ends with Aidan, who blocks the giant’s foot Gaelum from entering Paradise Island, and Aidan, who blocked the resurrection of the Demon King, is protected as the hero of the entire continent.
Depending on which heroine you attack, the extra ending will change… … In conclusion, the main gist itself is the same.
But suddenly you want to defeat Gayroom?
I did not understand well.
“The Demon Lord is sealed in the basement of this island. It’s much denser, stronger, and harder than the barriers that bind me.”
“I know that.”
I answered the hive mind.
The fact that the Demon King was sealed on Paradise Island was a fact publicly stated in the historical records of the game.
It’s not destroyed, it’s sealed.
In other words, it is the same as saying that there is still a demon king somewhere on Paradise Island.
That was the reason why the heroes first established Paradise School.
Establish an institution that educates brave warriors, excellent archers, and wise wizards who will lead the world.
To suppress the energy of the evil demon lord with their good influence.
Unlike a normal seal that weakens with the passage of time, the Demon King’s seal becomes stronger as the reputation of Paradise School increases.
Now, 300 years have passed since then, it must have been much stronger than when the Demon King was first sealed.
So, the liberation front led by Gaylum is aiming for the island of Nakwon.
An academy where all kinds of talented people from all over the country gather.
If only this island can be destroyed, the demon king sleeping underground will also be resurrected.
“New Chaos, the sun that has already lost cannot be the sun it used to be by raising it up again.”
“… … That means.”
“The birth of a new sun. Only the new chaos is the right person to lead the troubles to come.”
The hive mind grunted and said.
“What if I say no?”
“It also means chaos. I will humbly follow.”
“… … shit.”
As soon as I heard those words, I had to think of one person.
Redeemer Yeliya.
Isn’t she also a person who will die if the light she serves dies?
There was power in his words of calmly accepting his own end, in case he struggled not to die like Tergogh.
I couldn’t make a hasty decision.
Still, one thing is certain.
The catastrophe that will happen right now is that I can prevent it with my own strength.
【Baeksanwoo, this is almost all sorted out. The companions are also withdrawing. No more waves coming. How did you do it?]
Just then, a message came from Lioner. The Hive Mind did not stop the production of monsters.
Even now, outside this area, the Predator’s jingling cries were full.
This is probably because Nabe and Amodea and other monstrosities are blocking it.
‘The dreamers will be blocking them from the front. You can’t get caught, Lion, so please take control of it.’
[…] … Dog poop is also used for medicine. There really wasn’t a single word that was wrong.]
However, this is only a temporary measure.
Unless, perhaps, hivemind stops production directly.
It was clear that the demons would climb up the abyss and devour even the Hisperiif introductory dungeon.
Then what?
As if the gates of the Hunter Waters were opened, the Hisperiif Dungeon will be permanently closed and expeditions will be periodically deployed to reduce the number of monsters.
From withdrawal to stability. The people who were to be sacrificed in the process were very scarce.
“Hive Mind.”
“Yes, chaos.”
“Are you in my family now?”
“of course.”
I commanded as I approached the misty red core.
“Then, as a new chaos, I will command you as your lord.”
Stop the production of monsters.
“I will obey your orders.”
As soon as I uttered those words, the sound of monsters coming from outside disappeared.
* * *
“Get up from the wounded! hurry!!”
“Live! I’m alive!!”
The waves of monsters that had been pouring in ceaselessly stopped. Now there was nothing blocking the way out.
The professors who were the first to notice that the situation had improved quickly ordered the withdrawal.
With the wounded and freshmen at the forefront, the first evacuation personnel were sent out of the dungeon.
Of course, the fact that the advance of the monsters stopped was purely a search using Yura Esther’s barrier.
She and several other senior grade students had to remain in the dungeon.
It was because the wave could have come again before the complete withdrawal.
At the thought of having managed to recover from the threshold of death, everyone had their faces full of hope.
Yura Esther, who made the biggest contribution, could not laugh.
As the person who opened the search barrier, it was because he clearly checked what was going on in front.
‘We didn’t completely repel the monster by our own strength. Inside the barrier, demons are only blocking it… … .’
Shortly after the white mountain cow entered the deeper depths of the abyss.
Other dreamers popped out from all over the space. A high-ranking demon who is both a succubus and an incubus.
In a way, it is a much more menacing enemy than a huge amount of monsters.
Yura Esther immediately decided that Baeksanwoo was planning to annihilate them here.
A sudden change in Hisperiiff.
If even the high-ranking demons joined in because there were not enough powerful demonic corps, they could not even resist, let alone withdraw, and all the personnel here would have been killed.
… … No, it may have had a worse ending than death.
Even if the rescue team arrives late, no one would have thought that Baeksanwoo had carried out such a tragedy.
As he is a volunteer who has volunteered to rescue the students, he will never become a suspect.
However, the current situation was as if those demons were rather helping the group with their withdrawal.
It wipes away the flocking monsters with one blow.
The attack that spewed out powerful magic and turned everything in sight to ashes was an irrational amount of firepower.
In particular, the strength of the succubus with turquoise hair was something that even Esther Yura could not dare to evaluate.
I thought that maybe even the pillar of the Heretical Judgment Bureau and the strongest, Yellya, might be overwhelmed.
And what about the gray-skinned incubus?
He skillfully commanded the demons. It feels like the commander of the demon corps that we have only seen in the scriptures and history books.
Incubus Lord or King.
Even if he was given a name that expresses his reverence for his ability and status, he would never lack.
But the problem was who summoned the two demons.
Such a great Incubus.
Such a powerful succubus.
He bowed his head toward Baeksanwoo. In the case of the succubus, he even showed a pecking peck as soon as the Baek Sanwoo threatened him.
‘What the hell is it?’
It was doubtful at first.
Curious as to why it exudes heterogeneous magic.
And from the moment that curiosity turned into certainty.
The sense of duty that one should have as a candidate for the Holy Fire Lady of the Holy Empire worked.
Since I realized that I was dealing with Magi, no matter how much an Apostle of Light or a promising student, I had to be questioned by the Judgment Bureau.
But now it was fear.
fear.
A vague fear of the ‘unknown’ whose intention, purpose, and strength cannot be measured.
Baek Sanwoo was the guide of the hero and the protector of Artel.
It wasn’t just a guess, it actually was.
The spirit he contracted with was the 4th Star Thunder Spirit, Lioner.
A great and good Heroic Spirit who took the lead in annihilating evil in the great war 300 years ago.
Is it just that?
He claimed to be the ‘Apostle of Light’, considered the most honorable position in the temple of Canaan.
Through Elijah the Redeemer, his presence was secretly announced in the Temple.
It was not disclosed only to the private sector, and his name was publicly known to the clergy, including Yura.
Anyone who sees it is a good person
There was a reason why Elijah had no choice but to trust her so much.
But do you use demons? how? why?
I had no idea what the intention was.

Magic and divine power are opposites. can never coexist.Just as darkness and light do not mix, good and evil cannot coexist. Yura Esther has been taught that way.
However, from Yura’s point of view, Baek San-woo’s actions were completely out of the question.
it’s unavoidable to be afraid.
In addition, the strength was also unknown.
If the ghosts were subdued as a family, at least they were stronger than them, wasn’t it?
‘If that horde of ghosts attacks Paradise Island right now, will it be able to repel it only with the power of the Heretic Judgment Bureau and the temple?’
The answer to the question that suddenly came to mind was no.
In the end, there was nothing Yura Esther could do in the current situation.
‘I have to tell my sister, Yelia, and ask for reinforcements before the main shrine. We also need to check how Baek Sanwoo’s power is, and we’ll need evidence to prove the allegations.’
Sometimes waiting quietly is the answer.
I don’t know what he’s hiding right now… … The torch of the temple will surely light up the darkness.
‘Amina.’
spitting out words of light.
Yura Esther looked into the abyss where Baek Sanwoo disappeared.
