I Became an Academy Regular

Tower – B1 floor (2)

During the second phase, close moments kept passing by to keep the exit. The pre-established position has been broken for a long time. Each of them was just reacting to the situation on a whim.

“Seo-han! They flock here!”

Hong Jae-yu’s cry was heard from afar. He hurriedly turned his gun towards it.

tick. However, the custom gun did not respond due to overheating from prolonged firing. Arwell was aimed straight away, but Arwell was also tired, so the reloading speed of the magic bullets slowed noticeably.

Quang! One beat later, with the explosion, the shards of the ghosts jumped out.

“Arwell. now it’s done! Come back!”

Whoa! At those words, Arwell returned to human form with a blue light. I handed the respirator and backpack to Nasin Arwell.

“Don’t worry about the current situation, put on your gear first.”

“Whew. ···All right.”

After completing the activity as a weapon, take a break unconditionally under any circumstances. Having promised that, Arwell meekly nods his head without insisting on doing something else. Arwell’s stamina was essential to continue fighting in Hell.

As if he had no energy to speak, the hand holding the respirator had no strength. He turned his head only after seeing Ar Well clearly wearing a respirator.

‘After all, firearms eat more stamina.’

If it had been in the form of a cold weapon such as a sword or a spear, it would not have been so exhausting.

Considering Christmas, it might be better not to use Arwell from now on.

win! I released the gun parts that were brimming with heat. The gun parts melt the ground with the smell of burning flesh. An unknown liquid leaking from the floor soiled the parts.

tt I used it cleanly, but I guess I’ll have to clean it up after the battle is over. Because it might rust on things you don’t know.

Soulcheol is equipped with spear parts on the body. I was watching it and I heard the voice of the Holy Sword.

[Seo Seo-han. Do I have to stay like this?]

“You have time there. Be wary of the graceful Hector’s energy.”

[Sigh. This floor is unpleasant.]

Either way, he wields a holy sword or uses a custom weapon, but the current situation does not change. Since we have to conserve our divine power, it would be better to keep the holy sword in its maximum state.

I lifted my spear and jumped over the ice barrier I made with [Ice Spear].

-^$%#$%!!!

A scream rings in my ears. He got close enough to be able to recognize the appearance of the monster hidden in the darkness.

An unrecognizable figure, with his face flowing down or his arms melted, swayed in front of his nose. I felt disgusted at the disgusting look.

‘It’s like a zombie movie.’

It was as if I had entered the highlight scene of a zombie movie. With a calm mind, I swung my spear at the monster. Whoops! The squishy shape was easily shattered without any resistance.

‘I’m glad I did.’

Thousands and tens of thousands of souls lying here, except for some that Hong Jae-Yu is dealing with now, had no hostility toward us.

They just come in to get out of the exit to the ground. The problem is that it is difficult because of the overwhelming quantity.

At that time, it was seen that Hong Jae-yu’s magic sword was being made on the way and failed. It seems that the crowd has finally come to the mana road that was overused.

“hey! Try using space magic!”

“Not very effective! Hold on somehow!”

Even if they unite with [Compression], they stand up again and come to them anyway. It was much better to slow it down with [Ice Spear].

I thought about soaking the ground with [Waterball] and freezing it with ice mana, but it was meaningless because the monster’s lower body was already attached to the ground.

‘shit.’

In Hell Island, the recovery of stamina and magic is slow. So even after the battle was over, I had to maintain a certain level of line for the next battle.

. . . that you have to conserve your energy for a plate that will not be enough even with all your might. absurdly absurd

After I shot the ice spears, I swung the custom spear again.

From a distance, Drakhan also seemed to take advantage of the erosion of Hell Road, but he felt that his efficiency was dropping and he started to wield Riel again.

woohoo! At that moment, Lairt’s fierce sword strike shook the ground. The soft floor shook and the balance of the body was tilted. The spear blade was placed on the floor and the body was fixed.

[Seojihan! 15 minutes ahead.]

fuck off. Still?

It is arduous to wield a heavy weapon continuously without a break. At least I was using a gun, so I couldn’t predict how much stamina Layt or Drakhan would have consumed.

Hong Jae-yu appeared as a personality behind the barrier, wondering if he couldn’t move any more, and collapsed.

He didn’t want to appear weak even because of his pride, but for Hong Jae-yoo, who is still aspiring to be a hero, the current battle had no choice but to be unreasonable.

Hong Jae-yu hurriedly drank a potion from his backpack and stood up immediately. I gave him words of encouragement to cheer him up.

“Hong Jae-Yoo. Do it in moderation, but do it in moderation!”

“That bastard said that…!”

I don’t want to overdo it, but I had no choice. In order to relieve the burden on Layt and Drakhan, Jae-Yoo Hong had to give his strength. Even if you use a little divine power, you can restore it.

“Holy sword! How is the spirit of the beautiful Hector?”

[Still. I don’t feel it.]

Drakhan swung Riel and asked me.

“What did the Holy Sword say?”

“I still can’t feel it.”

“It’s ironic. I’m here to find him, but I’m glad he’s not around right now.”

it is sympathetic If a beautiful Hector appears in this exhausted state, instead of defending the exit, he should retreat immediately.

Hector, who has survived for nearly a year, might be able to control these monsters.

As the battle of endurance continued, the light that leaked out of the exit gradually decreased. Finally, the gates of hell begin to close. In response, I could see the monsters’ bodies slowing down.

[Seo Seo-han. The time has come!]

“Everyone, please gather inside the wall! We must gather before the light goes out!”

At my cry, Drakhan and Layette turned and ran to this place. Finally, within the barrier, he restrained the monsters who were trying to get over.

“Jihan! Has Ahat-san come in?”

“Not yet. You’ll come in just in time for the door to close so no one can get in!”

While talking, it struggled to push the monster away and cut it down. As we continued to restrict access in a narrow space, the fragments of the ghosts began to gradually pile up.

Fragments piled up higher than the barrier, just one step before they jumped over.

iron puck.

The sound of the exit to the ground closing was heard.

At the same time, not even a single ray of light remained on the Hell Road. The screams stopped and the monsters stopped moving.

“…the smell is disgusting.”

Ahart’s voice was heard softly in the stillness that came again. A blue line is drawn in the dark. And a strong wind began to blow around us.

Cheeky! At the same time, the sound of flesh being ripped was heard from all directions. It was the sound of ghosts approaching nearby and being pushed by the wind and falling from the ground.

Cheeky! Cheeky!

The creepy sound blended with the harsh wind for a long time. As soon as the wind calmed down, Ahat spoke in his usual tone.

“There were quite a few. To some extent, I’ve been pushed here.”

Ahat’s words, which he would have been wary of in the past, coming from the darkness, were more reassuring now. I turned my head in the direction the voice came from.

“…whoah. You have worked hard, Ahat-sama.”

“You have suffered too.”

I felt my nervous nerves subside.

dump. She started to sit on the floor, knowing that everyone knew it was over. I slowly sat down on the soft floor.

“Haha, crazy. Did something like this exist in the basement of the tower…?”

That’s right. It was Hong Jae-yu’s tired voice from the left that broke the silence.

…the problem is that we’ve barely passed the first hurdle.

It was the same in the temple that I felt the strangeness of the tower.

As the paladin rushed in, Albain turned his gaze to him.

“Lady. Are you all right?!”

“yes. Rather, just find out what caused the vibrations.”

“Oh, yes! All right.”

The paladin went out with a quick movement.

Thirling! Albain picked up the phone that had been in contact with him for a while. It was a call from an unknown place. As soon as he sensed a change in the tower, he must have contacted the shrine.

“···Who are you?”

[-I need the cooperation of the temple.]

direct words. It was an old voice. And the tone was enough to arouse a rejection of Albain from the first impression.

‘···If you ask for help, the hat is in the yard.’

It was as if he was going to give us a chance to help.

Perhaps he thought of Albain’s silence, who was speechless, in a different direction, and a profound voice came from the phone.

[-You know the recent movement of the temple. An aspiring hero who believes only in holy things and is called a ‘hero’ and a munitions company ‘Black Hawk’. He came and went there quite often.]

[-Do you know what this means, saint?]

Saint Albain Grand broke the silence and opened her mouth. Then she asked if she thought the pressure had worked, the middle-aged in a contented tone.

[-Then how much more do you plan to spend upstairs?]

“We will return all the paladins and priests who have been dispatched to the upper floors.”

[-········Saint. What did you say now?]

It was an unexpected remark, so the other person’s voice hardened.

The saint knew that these remarks were enough to worsen relations with the top powers. However, her heart, which had been inclined for a long time, was hardened by the small conversation.

“In this situation, fighting like that is a sign that you still have room, isn’t it? It must be able to withstand the erosion that comes down differently than I thought.”

“If the tower comes out like that, the treatment of Grand’s followers who have been dispatched there will be different. I thought that if I didn’t meet their demands, I could hurt them. Then I have no choice but to bring them back.”

[-Are we going to destroy it? To prevent erosion without divine power?]

“Please. I just knew for sure that I wouldn’t be able to attack the tower with you.”

like neutrality. no longer needed

[-Now, wait!]

drop. After hanging up, Albain immediately called Seo Ji-han.

Having done the work, I was planning to clearly convey my intentions on ‘building a force’. He said that he would help as much as he could to seek cooperation from the ‘Imperial’.

‘Hmm. Would you be happy?’

I’ve been working hard for this all this time. As a temple, the ‘Heroes’ with the Holy Sword could be put in the forefront.

beep-.

But for some reason, there was no answer from Seo Han, who was always answering the phone at a high speed. After that, it was the same no matter how many times I walked.

“… huh?”

The white face of the saint, Albain Gran, became even more pale.

“Then you can’t use fire.”

“Yes. They react to light.”

They all depended on their bodily senses and were resting, such as eating potions. The floor was shaking, so even that wasn’t a perfect break.

“what. So, do you really have to stay like this?”

“uh. Whatever it is, it should be.”

The Awakened has no problem even in normal darkness. If you focus your mana on your eyes, it’s because your vision is secured. But in Hell, that was impossible. Something like a hazy mist obscured the mana-enhanced eyes, making it impossible to look around normally.

“Arwell. How about you?”

“…and so am I.”

Armed humans with developed senses were no different from ordinary people here.

Rather, it will feel even more tiring for Arwell, who has sensitive senses, as he can’t see anything, and the wriggling floor and the sound of meaningless gnaw at his nerves.

“Can I do it well?”

I said firmly at the negative words I mumbled unintentionally.

“I have to. Aren’t we supposed to save Noah too?”

“···I’m sorry. Of course it should be.”

Arwell, who said the last words, seemed to have made up his mind again with that.

It would have been better if I could keep Arwell in the form of a weapon like Riel, but I had no choice but to do it because I was not an official partner, so there was a penalty.

“Seo-Han. So what do I do now?”

“I can’t stay here, so I have to move. Even if the monster reacts to the light, I just need to secure the field of vision by using magic bullets at other points. the problem is···.”

“Is it because of the guys I dealt with earlier?”

“Uh, right.”

I answered Hong Jae-yu’s words from the left.

“They are intelligent and will run towards the source of where the light came from. The light leaked out for an hour at the exit, so those who were far away must have come close. A battle with nothing in sight would be difficult.”

“Then, even if it’s difficult to secure your vision, can’t you just move while pushing it with Ahat-san’s magic?”

“no. From now on, I have to conserve Ahat-sama’s magical power.”

Ahat said if you agree with me.

“Ugh. I guess I’ll have to do as Jihan-kun says. In Hell Island, mana recovery is exceptionally slow.”

“Besides, he must have continued his magic while guarding the entrance. How much mana do you have left?”

“Now we have about half left.”

halves. If it was a lot, it was a lot, if it was a little, it was a small amount.

‘The battle plan is simple.’

When he meets the beautiful Hector, first, Drakhan takes off his mask and seals his magic with his personality. It would have been the best result if we could dig up information about Noah Park from the person who neutralized it.

‘It would be nice if that were the case…’

However, if an unexpected situation occurs, either kill him immediately or re-seal Drakhan’s personality and face a head-to-head match against Arihan Hector with Ahat’s magic.

I fumbled around, put my backpack back on, and cautiously got up from my seat.

“First of all, as expected, Arihan Hector seems to be in the depths of Hell Road. The floor is mushy, and I feel bad, but now I’m moving to another place.”

“Where do you want to go?”

“yes. There is a more comfortable place to rest.”

He stretched out his hand to the side and pulled out the holy sword he was holding.

“I will move to the altar from now on.”

altar.

It was a place where the souls of this place were sacrificed and rituals to resurrect someone took place.
