Episode 54. Ahhh… This is called XX.
It’s not over yet. Even though he returned to human form, his self-destruct function hasn’t disappeared.
In order to remove it, the ‘weapon’ that controls Angela’s body must be purified. Only then can Angela, who has become terminally ill due to the side effects of the magic, be saved.
In fact, the Holy Spirit alone cannot restore it to its original state. The Holy Spirit only removes the magic and creates a path to reach the weapon. The real solution was Ruska.
Ruska and Angela are descendants of those who inherited the power of the Millennium Tiger. They are genetically similar, which allows them to interfere with weapons.
In particular, the two are sisters. Since they share the same blood, the effect was even more noticeable.
That’s why Ruska was absolutely necessary in the final battle of this chapter.
If she hadn’t been there, there would have been no way to purify the weapon. In the end, the ending would have been that Alighieri Town would have been blown away by the nine-tailed fox’s rampage, and it would have self-destructed along with the Kingdom of Papyrus.
‘Our capable protagonist must be busy dealing with the ultimate mastermind, Enviel.’
The bachelor board members are trapped in Enviel’s trap and cannot help him until Lyman defeats Enviel.
Kugugugugugu─
Suddenly an earthquake occurred and then stopped in an instant.
Lyman’s fight atop the Purgatory volcano had already been underway for some time.
Here we can see Enviel’s strength, as he can last a long time against Lyman.
Even though he is not a powerful being, there is no being stronger than Lyman in this world.
Seeing that the fight was still ongoing even at the moment when this guy was dealing with the gumiho, I could feel Enviel’s cockroach-like side all over again.
‘And Enviel runs away like a worm.’
Thanks to absorbing the volcanic energy, he becomes strong enough to stand up to Lyman, but is ultimately defeated.
At first, they compete on equal terms. As time passes, it becomes a one-sided assault that is embarrassing to call a fight.
‘Why would Envy, who was like a psycho, beg for it to stop?’
Stop? That’s out of the question in front of our protagonist.
Lyman doesn’t care at all and reverts to his original form, pounding him to pieces.
The event god is designed to have the player input the key directly to beat up Enviel.
If you press the normal attack key, you can punch, and if you press the skill key, you can kick. By pressing the same key repeatedly, you can hit so hard that all the bones are crushed.
The scene where his blood soaked Lyman’s face was also spectacular.
This scene does not exist for any other character except Lyman.
It’s not just a special treatment for the main character. It’s also a device to emphasize how poisonous Lyman is.
‘If I mess up, it wouldn’t be strange if I end up in the same situation.’
To that extent, Lyman was the devil of devils.
This is no joke.
Thinking back, Enviel, who survived such a demon, is crazy.
There is a scene where Lyman, who was dealing with the guy, thought the guy was dead and left, but was shocked when he found out that he was alive.
But Lyman’s identity is not revealed right away.
After being defeated by him, he loses most of his strength and is left traumatized, so he becomes a patient for a long time.
Even Enviel himself is unable to exert influence because his identity has been revealed throughout the empire.
However, Enviel, who recovered and reappeared, spread Lyman’s identity throughout the empire.
The fact that Lyman is a demon, not a human.
Eventually, Lyman becomes a target of fear not only in the Academy but also across the continent. In particular, there are fanatic groups all over the continent who hate everything related to the Demon Race.
Because of this, Jenny, Mary, and other acquaintances who were Lyman’s friends are threatened.
This is one of the signs of a bad ending route that leads to the destruction of the continent.
‘The butterfly effect is happening not only on the continent but also around the world.’
It would be a waste for me to get involved in that. Since it has come to this, I need to get rid of the root of it.
The story has already become as twisted as it could be by the time I exist in this world. But at least it is possible to fix it so that it doesn’t go in a bad direction.
There’s no reason to stay still when you have the knowledge to achieve it.
‘Then where… .’
I looked around.
Jenny sat down as if she had exhausted all her strength.
Mary also looked thin and her eyes were spinning.
Leorio collapsed due to having used up too much of his Holy Spirit power.
Bayman was in relatively good shape, but he didn’t seem like he would be of much help.
Ruska was currently in a standoff with Angela, and Angela seemed to be out of her mind, growling at her.
Now is your chance.
While they were at a loss, I sneaked out, secretly cheering for Ruska.
-Yeah, Ruska, you can do it. So, cheer up!
This part is a stage prepared just for her. It is a fight that is meaningful only when Ruska faces it alone.
There is no need to watch this part from start to finish, as it contains melodramatic elements.
At that time, it would have been better to wait at the crossroads where Enviel was escaping.
My role ends here.
Now you guys try to get along well among yourselves.
hi!
* * * * *
Meanwhile, Angela’s teeth chattered as she looked at the girl standing in front of her.
Shiny black hair and blood-red eyes. She was the girl who had cut off one side of her tail.
I wanted to make her experience the same pain right away, but strangely, my body wouldn’t move. It seemed as if something unrelated to my will was rejecting my resistance.
‘There’s something strange about this woman.’
In fact, it was a strange feeling when I was stabbed by her sword or shot by her arrows. It was because I felt an inexplicable warmth even as the pain was transmitted.
It was just unusual.
But that doesn’t mean I can let this woman approach me.
“asleep!”
Angela’s delicate, jade-like hands sprouted sinister claws, revealing a fierce will to resist.
Humans are the enemies who took away their families. No matter what kind of energy they have, they must all be killed.
You don’t need any of the sisters who gave you a name. You can’t guarantee that they will fill your emptiness.
Will that peaceful daily life neutralize the swollen weapon?
That’s nonsense.
It’s all useless.
“This is the end for me anyway.”
Push-
Sharp nails pierced Ruska’s waist. Angela’s hand, penetrating her flesh, was deep inside her stomach.
It’s not an illusion.
It’s not a hallucination.
Blood lost in the vessels poured onto the floor. I felt pain that made it difficult to even breathe. My nerve cells screamed.
If it were anyone else, she would have lost consciousness, but Ruska was different. She had already been in the battlefield many times, so she was quite used to the pain.
And thanks to the blessed body inherited from his ancestors, he was still able to move.
Cackle─
Even as blood spurted from her body, Ruska gritted her teeth.
But instead of resisting, he threw the bow he was holding to the ground. Angela was greatly perplexed as to why he did not fight back despite being in this situation.
I have a bad feeling. My instincts tell me that I should first remove the hand that stabbed me and keep my distance.
I pulled my arm to try to get my hand away from my stomach, but… it wouldn’t come off.
“What is this?”
“….”
“Let go! I said let go!”
Ruska was holding onto the arm that had penetrated her side. Even though her body was not normal, she showed no signs of letting go.
It doesn’t matter if the neuralgia is torn or the red fluid inside the body is drained.
I held the power in my hands.
I absolutely couldn’t miss it.
I couldn’t just let it go like this.
A family that I thought would no longer exist in this world came to me of their own accord. No matter how they approached me, I was truly grateful.
There was not a single ray of light in my dark life of living alone. I dug a hole with a vengeful spirit to make a passage. I dug and dug until my hands were worn out, not knowing if there would be light inside or not.
How deep did he dig? How many times did the leather on his hand get torn?
It was so much that I couldn’t even put it into words.
At that moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared.
At first I thought it was a mistake, but once I realized it was true, I couldn’t just sit still.
A purpose for living.
The reason why I have been honing my strength all this time.
It was a moment when a new goal arose in my once desolate and foolish life.
The only family I thought would no longer exist.
If I could just embrace it again… I could endure this kind of pain any time.
Kwajik─
“…!!”
Those who were watching were shocked when they heard the eerie sound. An earthquake occurred in Jenny’s eyes as she barely raised her head.
Angela’s teeth were… biting into Ruska’s neck, sucking out every last drop of blood to ensure the kill.
But that was a big mistake.
Because their blood resonated with each other.
Ruska, who had been bitten in the vital spot, fell to the floor as if hugged. Even though he was dying, he had a relaxed expression on his face.
And Angela shivered, her body stiff and unable to move, as Ruska’s blood seeped into her body and purified the weapon.
And in the aftermath of the resonance, an image was drawn in my head.
Ruska’s past memories.
In fact, who she was… Angela realized instinctively.
* * * * *
“I never thought it would fail.”
Enviel was sitting with his back against a tree in a remote part of the forest.
The trees were so damp that their backs were soaking wet. The rain had made the air humid, and the nearby low-lying terrain was filled with water.
When I looked into the face there, I could see my own appearance.
Several of his teeth were broken, one of his ears was cut off, his face was horribly distorted like a tin can, and his skin was so red that blood was about to ooze out of it.
One of his arms was torn off and was still bleeding profusely.
Moreover, when he tried to raise his body, he couldn’t move because all the bones supporting his body were crushed.
It was not the bridge but the teleportation magic that got me to this forest.
“Hahaha… This is difficult.”
Enviel mocked his own bloody situation. He was already in a situation where there were few people in the empire who could handle him, and he had become even stronger by absorbing volcanic energy, yet he was in this state.
It was something that happened quite suddenly.
Enviel, who was working on distributing magic at the top of the Purgatory Volcano, was attacked by an unknown assailant.
He had his face covered by a black cloak, but it was no use.
He has a ‘magic eye’ that sees through everything, and he explores its true identity.
“Not a demon, not a demon lord… This is really driving me crazy!”
When I first saw it, I doubted if it was a dream or reality. There was no way such a great being would be loitering around in a place like this.
I couldn’t believe it, so I fought it with all my might to gauge its power. Every time I used magic, I poured out my power so fiercely that it shook mountains or collapsed peaks.
As if to prove that ‘his identity’ was not a lie, the villain had no wounds whatsoever.
Even if he spread a poison that would destroy cells, blasted a light ball that rivaled the heat of the sun, and hit with a curse that would suck all life out of it, it was still a complete mess.
The assailant approached without a care and tore the barrier apart with his bare hands. Then, with just his fists and kicks, he reduced Enviel to this state.
And then I could see it. The moment when the villain transformed into the form of a demon.
It was an incomprehensible sight.
Why would such a great being help to thwart his own plans?
“A plan that took many years to prepare… failed in a single day.”
It seems that the gumiho has returned to human form, as the weapon has been detected to be subsiding.
It seems that someone purified the evil spirit that appears when the divine being becomes ferocious.
It felt like the tower I had built up over the years had disappeared into thin air. I was so shocked that I couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and a hint of self-mockery crossed my lips.
“This is not the time to be like this.”
He had already revealed his identity to the academic board.
If I had known it would fail like this, I wouldn’t have revealed my identity so rashly.
I don’t know why the demon appeared and interrupted me, but my top priority is to get out of here.
Now that his identity has been revealed, he will no longer be able to pretend to be an elder of the Magic League. His prestige will obviously plummet.
But that’s the view of good people, and there are many fanatics of Envy all over the world.
If you brainwash them and control them, everything will be solved.
In the first place, his main occupation was not an elder or anything like that.
“For the Day of Judgment….”
A leader of the demon-worshiping group ‘Doomsday’. That is the main occupation of Elder Enviel.
He tried to cast teleportation by pouring out his remaining magical power.
“It’s better to investigate that drink later….”
“Hey, are you Elder Enviel?”
“…!!”
At that time, a sense of crisis arose.
A cadet from the academy spotted him and was running towards him in a hurry.
Why does it always appear at a time like this? When my body is in bad shape and I don’t have the strength to fight.
“I’m so glad you’re safe! But how did you end up looking so hideous?”
However, the cadets did not antagonize him. It seems that his identity has not yet spread among the cadets.
“What’s your name?”
“My name is Radon Crawler, a first-year combat student. Did you get attacked by that fox monster?”
The cadet seemed very naive. He was a fool who had no idea what the true nature of this situation was.
It was perfect for laughing at inwardly.
“Just grab my shoulder and I’ll take you somewhere comfortable.”
“Thanks for that.”
“Yes, a very comfortable place.”
Enviel began to move, supported by a student named Radon. He had not yet recovered enough strength to raise his magical power.
By the time we get out of the forest, I’ll have to drain this student’s life force to recover a little.
‘But you little brat. How did you know who I was?’
I feel uneasy when I see a puddle of water that I pass by while walking. It is because my own face reflected in the water is distorted and ugly.
It must have been hard to figure out who you were, but you knew who it was right away?
‘Is it because of this cloak?’
A cloak with a winged symbol. It was also a symbol proving that one was an elder of the Magic League.
If I had known that, it would have made sense.
“Hey, what is this?”
There was another unusual thing about this student. He was carrying a fishing rod even though there was no river nearby.
“Ahh… This is called a fishing rod.”
Who doesn’t know?
But why are you carrying that around?
Push!─
“If you stab it, you can use it as a weapon.”
Surviving as an Academy Fraudster
