I Became an Academy Overpowered Dual Swordsman

106 – Steel Stainless

[You have defeated S+ Grade Steel Stainless.]

…

…

A lot of SP and gold notifications appear. Rather than the number of things that could have been kicked off, what caught my eye was a mountain of steel split in half.

In my heart, I couldn’t believe it, but now I’m strong enough to cut down a mountain of steel.

-How about Nemesis? I became the witch who split the mountain.

-It’s been a while since I had a very satisfying meal. Thanks.

It must have been that he was really satisfied, and his voice was filled with happiness. Right at that moment. A new notification window appeared.

[You have acquired Passive Skill – Steel Parring!]

[Steel Parrying]

[Use the power of the steel dragon to strengthen close-range parrying.]

[Increased grow time when parrying short-range attacks.]

[When parrying a short-range attack, you can inflict magical damage of steel property to the target. (Up to your own magic power.)]

[During the groggy caused by parrying a short-range attack, neutralizes beneficial effects on the target.]

“Oh. Crazy.”

Unbeknownst to me, an exclamation flowed out. I deliberately didn’t learn the steel attribute because it’s an attribute that focuses on defense. Therefore, I expected that even if I defeated the steel dragon, I would not acquire the iron dragon’s unbreakable steel.

Is that why? That’s why you got a steel parry that upgrades your parry instead of upgrading your steel attributes. Whatever it was, it was clear that it would be useful.

Besides, the beneficial effects are nullified during that time. If I do well, I’ll be able to neutralize the powers of other Demon Gods as well, right?

For steel…

Befitting the most unconventionally strong dragon among dragons, the reward was also fast.

The purple demonic energy surrounding Steel Mountain is gradually dissipating and disappearing. Before we knew it, the open sky and the beating sunlight welcomed us.

“Church, Headmaster. Can you see it? It’s the light… The light I wanted so much…”

“Yes. The war against the steel dragon is over. Let’s go tell everyone.”

Cult leader Errel pats the teary raid leader’s back.

“Everyone go first. We still have business to do.”

The tombstone for the steel dragon hasn’t appeared yet. I accidentally got a steel parry, but our goal is to be a tombstone for steel dragons.

“Can I?”

“Yes. If you go there, would you please call the president of the association?”

Now that the demonic realm has disappeared, you should be able to use communication magic properly.

“Ah. Call Helen too.”

“Yes, yes!”

The raid leader and raid members who were about to leave approach me.

“I don’t know how many times I owed my life to a wizard… Thank you very much.”

“Wizard! You must come back soon. We’re having a party with our leftovers.”

He answered with a smile that he would catch up soon. After a while, only the two of Rinne and I were left.

Thump!

A tombstone appeared from the remaining steel in the steel mountain.

“It appears. The Stele of the Iron Dragon.”

“Yes. Whoa. If my prediction is correct, this is the last tombstone. Here is the location of my mother…”

Rinne seems to be very nervous. Her hands are shaking. She said no, she smiled.

“It’s an easy-going laugh unlike a wizard who cut down the demon realm with Kang Cheol-yong.”

“hahahaha. I should have smiled more dignifiedly.”

“No. That’s why it’s better. Thank you. It relieved my tension.”

She holds out her index finger and carefully reads the information contained in her tombstone. Then she stopped in front of a phrase.

“It came out. It’s written in fragments, but if you combine the phrases of the Thunder Dragon’s Stele and the Fire Dragon’s Stele you’ve seen before… You’ll find the location of the Dark Dragon Rene. But I don’t know where it is.”

“Where is it? I might know.”

“On the night of the full moon, go to the hole that swallowed the Demonic Realm…” Is written on it.

The hole that swallowed the demon world.

Are you referring to a sinkhole?

“Do you have any guesses?”

“Yes. Let’s go back to the church. I need to have a meeting with the president of the association.”

***

Second Church of Lucia.

A large party was being held in the temporary barracks in front of the half-destroyed church. When we arrived, the church members greeted us with loud cheers.

“The wizard has arrived!”

“There is only one SS-class wizard in the world!”

“Shh! It’s an unknown wizard. I have to hide his true identity.”

As if they had heard the news about the current situation after escaping from the rule of the Devil, they were lined up with my praise.

“Take this!”

The raid leader handed over a skewer that had been browned. I looked at Linne and invited her first.

“What is this?”

Let’s take a bite. Hmm~ I grabbed my cheek as if I was happy.

“It’s delicious. To eat meat cooked like this. Humans are truly unique.”

“Ahahahaha.”

At that moment, Nemesis’ curse rang out.

-Mortal… I want to eat too.

– No. That…

If Nemesis, the queen of predation, appears at the Lucia Church party, I’ll be damned.

-I’ll buy you chicken later, so be patient.

-I got it.

-Why are you obediently listening to me?

-Whoops. Because they ate steel dragons along with steel mountains.

The Curse of Nemesis fell silent again. Around that time, a limousine descends from the sky. Inside, the head of the association, the head of the secretary, and Helen, head of the 1st Church of Lucia, got down with her waist-length pink hair waving.

Three people walked towards us looking at the clear sky in disbelief.

“Sister Erel! And Mr. SS. Long time no see.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Helen.”

She looks back and forth between me and Helen. As expected, he attacked me without hesitation. Maybe his conscience was pricked. Unaware of such thoughts, Helen asked me with her bright face.

“Seeing that you are getting along well with the members of the Second Church, it seems that my cross has helped you, right? It was also nice to hand it to you.”

“Oh, you really handed it over… The cross you valued more than your life…”

“Yes. Without SS, we, the 1st Church of Lucia, would not have survived.”

As you said, in the original work, the First Church was destroyed and served as the entrance to the Demonic Realm. The 2nd Church was like that too. If it was just a little bit late, all the church members would have died and would have acted as the entrance to Steel Mountain.

“Uh, uh… Uh…”

Rather than that, Errel’s expression is spectacle. Her face was red, and she was staring at her.

“Why is that, Sister Erel? Her face is red.”

“Ah… That’s it. Well, actually, I attacked the SS. Poetry, the cross… I thought I killed Helen and took it away.”

“Yes?!”

Errel bowed to me and said goodbye to her nod.

“I have no face! I apologize again. I’m really sorry, Mr. SS.”

“Kuaa! I boasted so much that if you show me the cross, you will be treated with sincerity!”

“I’m sorry too, Helen! I didn’t recognize Helen’s benefactor…”

It was a huge treat. How many times do you have to risk your life to fight an S-class wizard?

“It’s all in the past, so let’s stop there. More than that, the president of the association. There’s something I want to tell you.”

“Is this a story about an iron dragon?”

“No. It’s about the dark dragon and the holy sword.”

The reason she called Helen was because she wanted to hear more about the holy sword.

Inside a temporary barracks set up as a meeting room.

They told me everything about the current situation.

Lynn is a wind dragon and is looking for her mother, the dark dragon, Renne. And she went so far as to say that the dark dragon was guarding her holy sword under the control of the demon god…

Unexpectedly, Helen and Errel didn’t seem too surprised that Linne was a wind dragon.

“That’s right. S-class magician Linne was actually a wind dragon… Come to think of it, when the tombstone of the thunder dragon appeared, she interpreted the dragon language right away.”

“Somehow. In fact, I have an eye that sees through the other person’s magical power. I heard that Lady Rinne feels a strangely different magical power…”

You have eyes to see through magical powers? Is that why she identified Magi at a glance and attacked me? On the other hand, Lynn Ne said with her expression darkened.

“You two were directly damaged by the dragon… Don’t you hate me?”

What is it? Were you worried about that? But that is a futile worry. The smiling faces of the two are proof of that.

“What are you talking about! Lady Rinne is the hero who saved the 1st Church of Lucia.”

“That’s right. You saved our 2nd Church too. You’re not going to make that face. It’s ridiculous to ask Rinne what the Thunder Dragon and Steel Dragon did in the first place.”

“Thank you everyone…”

The president of the association, who had been listening quietly, said with a smile.

“Then, it seems that your concerns have been resolved, so let’s move on to the main topic. Lee Do-kun. What did you see on the tombstone that appeared after slaying the dragon?”

“Summarizing the information on the tombstone, it is ‘On the night of the full moon, in the hole that swallowed the demon specter, Rene, the female dragon who was eaten by the demon god, is guarding her holy sword’.”

“It’s a hole that swallowed the demon scene… I have one thing to point out. Do you know about the huge sinkhole incident that occurred in the demon world decades ago?”

As expected, you’re thinking the same thing as me. A gigantic sinkhole that swallowed the Demonic World. According to the original work, the Beast Association named it Black Hole and named it a dangerous area that is not accessible.

“Commonly referred to as a black hole. It’s a place where you don’t know what dangers may lurk. Chief.”

“Yes.”

The chief of staff showed information about him on the tablet pad.

It is written that 364 days of the year is night, and only one full moon rises to illuminate the black hole.

“In a way, it can be seen as the best place to hide the Holy Sword. Chairman of the Association.”

“That’s right. I wondered why the moon didn’t rise especially there.

“But there’s a problem, Mr. SS! It’s been a while since the full moon has risen. We have to wait about 222 days until the next full moon…”

I thought so. However, it is not possible to wait for 222 days.

“The reason the moon doesn’t rise is because the demon god put a barrier on it. And the reason the moon rises once a year is to have time to recharge.”

Currently, the Demon God is working on transferring his soul into a Demonic Beast comparable to that of a God. By now, you must have entered the final stage, eternal sleep.

If the magician who put the barrier falls into eternal sleep, it is only natural that the barrier will loosen. If so, things may be easier than you think.

“I intend to break that barrier.”
