Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer

39 – Underground (8)

The Spear of Holy Light.

This is the name of the spear that Beatrice just shot towards the tightly closed entrance.

Based on in-game performance, should I roughly say that it’s treated the same as Beatrice’s ultimate skill?

It’s nothing grandiose, but isn’t there a skill that can be used only when a certain gauge is filled to a certain level?

At the point of completing the development of the character Beatrice to a certain extent, there are few extreme skills that can exert power beyond that window of light.

“…… And. Endure it.”

So, to put it in perspective, that gate that hasn’t been completely broken even after being properly hit by such a spear of light has quite insane durability. Of course, the fact that Beatrice hadn’t fully grown at this point had to be taken into consideration.

“?!”

Perhaps she was somewhat proud of the power of the spear I had struck, but Beatrice showed a look of astonishment at the appearance of the gate, which was slightly distorted but not completely destroyed.

Still, I can’t help it. Now is the time to put in an additional hit quickly, rather than just standing there blankly.

Kwaaang!

“Beatrice!”

“…… !”

Just as I spurred her on the ground once again and forcibly blocked the flying golem, I woke her up with a slightly stern voice.

“Calm down, drill! While I’m blocking this!”

I was shocked, and apart from that, the time I could hold on to the golem by force and hold on wasn’t that long. Even now, the time limit that popped up in the corner of the status window was steadily decreasing.

────────────────

Effect duration (3:11).

────────────────

No matter what I did, it had already evaporated for two minutes. There was nothing good about wasting time.

Twoong-!

With no emotion mixed in, it blocks the golem-like kicks by wrapping a thunderbolt on one forearm. As if he had targeted Beatrice instead of me, he kept trying to pass me by, probably because the order to guard the gate was clearly written in his head.

Quarrr!

After dropping the lightning again and blocking the golem with the feeling of becoming a gatekeeper, Beatrice quickly regained her composure and was creating a second spear.

It was only a little surprising that it didn’t get pierced in one shot, but if you get hit by that spear one more time, whatever it is, it’s bound to be shattered.

Even if it was a gate that must have been created through hard materials and various magical treatments.

That Spear of Light is definitely not a skill with a flashy name.

Since the window was opened once before, it would be quite difficult to create it right away, but it wouldn’t be impossible.

It doesn’t matter if it takes a little longer. Because it was my role to protect Beatrice all this while.

Kwajik!

‘Oh, f*ck.’

It was then. I sold my eyes to Beatrice for a moment, and the golem’s heel brushed past my ear by a really short distance and slashed the ground in a gruesome manner.

I was surprised.

At fault-

The golem rotated its body once using the foot that struck the ground as an axis, and it was not difficult to anticipate the next attack.

“Yes, he’s not easy enough to deal with even if you’re bruised.”

I lowered my stance with a laugh mixed with a bit of tension. Whoop! The leg, which had been swung with the momentum to split my hair, passed right above the top of my head.

At that point, I had no choice but to develop serious doubts.

I don’t think this is the primary process, no matter how you look at it?

Anyway, the process Tsumei set up wasn’t vicious enough to cripple the intruder in the first place.

If you can control it moderately, suppress it, and if it still doesn’t work, break it somewhere. If what I know is correct, that’s about it.

“This is a bit—”

Quad Deuk Deuk!

“—That’s too much. I will go to the goal in one shot.”

It’s not some kind of demolition equipment, what is it that grinds the ground with one kick? If that hits me, I really die.

It’s not that I don’t have the confidence to avoid getting hit, but I can’t help but feel scared.

It is an overly optimistic assumption to believe that no matter how much his physical abilities are improved, he will be fine even after being beaten by such bloody legs.

As long as you don’t prepare in advance by raising your thunderbolt, wouldn’t it be strange if your body bursts out?

Even though he seems to be focusing on me, if he sees an opening, he’ll immediately rush at Beatrice, and it’s not easy to keep such a guy completely tied down.

‘Well, the fact that I’m getting more and more proficient in the use of superpowers can be seen as a good thing.’

Boom! Quaang! aaang!

Avoiding the golem that collapsed all the walls like a tank that couldn’t stop, I took advantage of the little bit of leisure and put a lightning bolt in my fingertips.

Pajik-

Should I say it’s because the penalty was eased to some extent? Even though it was only 5 minutes, I was able to try quite a few times because I had time.

For example, like now, the thunderbolt on the tip of the finger is crossed in the shape of a cross.

Hook!

[…] … !]

A line of white lightning that swayed vaguely for a while. The attack split into two, and the golem retrieved his outstretched fist and quickly stepped back.

And the next moment.

Suddenly—!

At the same time as the cutting sound, as if a sharp blade had been grazed by, a cross-shaped crack was created where my fingertips touched.

I don’t know, but if it had been hit as it was, the hard golem’s body would have been damaged to some extent. Because that was the highest-powered thunderbolt I could pull out in my current state.

“Aww.”

As proof of that, even with the penalty reduction potion buff, I felt a little numbness on the other side of my wrist. It doesn’t look like anything wrong on the outside, but on the inside it looks like it’s already been burned.

[…] ….]

“What do you see? Do you want to taste some too? Is this stingy?”

Furthermore, the golem also showed a heightened sense of vigilance, unlike before.

None other than ‘that’ Tsumei’s masterpiece, the strongest decisive battle weapon in this world view.

It was simply not worth thinking about. Because the thing in front of me was not a normal doll that could be dismissed as a simple golem.

One or two sword masters can be taken down by force, one of the de facto academy’s strongest powers. That was the identity of the weapon Tsumei had prepared for the blue dragon’s daughter.

‘Tsumei is a bit of an idiot, too.’

No, in this case, should I call my nephew an idiot? Although there is no particular blood connection.

────────────────

Effect duration (0:55).

────────────────

Well, I did as much as I could. If you did this against that golem, you fought well enough.

To put it bluntly, I benefited from this ability, and I don’t have any potions to ease the penalty anymore, so it’s a bit of a nuisance to call it my perfect ability, but…….

I really liked that.

In any case, the penalty would have to be gradually alleviated in other ways, and it was also confirmed that Dante’s ability has the potential to match even the top powers in this worldview.

“Are you going to keep staring at me like that?”

Above all, at this point in time, there was no reason to argue with that golem anymore.

“But what to do, I don’t want to stick with you anymore.”

Anyway, I know that the golem can’t understand what I’m saying, and I’m also well aware that the act of talking to it is meaningless.

Still, when I saw the guy slowly lowering his posture while glaring at me warily, I burst out laughing.

“I hope we can meet a little more peacefully next time. Then… ….”

I slurred my words and turned around, and the golem was also conscious of my movements, and its blue eyes glistened coldly.

Quaaagh!

[…] … !]

Before the golem finished its judgment and attacked me again, a roar erupted from behind me.

The second spear of holy light completely destroyed the entrance to the demonic sword seal.

Even so, there is no time to relax. If you wait for the golem to judge the situation, turn his head, and attack again, that’s an idiot.

Now that the potion’s duration limit was over, I didn’t have the confidence to face that monster anymore.

Pajik, Pajik!

I myself become a lightning bolt.

After rotating the thunderbolt once inside the body, I flew straight toward the entrance.

Quang!

The time it took to run on the ground, pick up Beatrice(?), And pass through the collapsed gate to the other side. Less than 3 seconds.

“Eh, eh?”

In that short moment, Beatrice, who was carried away by force, let out a stupid voice for a while, but that didn’t matter.

Isn’t there a possibility left that you don’t know? I looked back cautiously.

[…] ….]

The golem was looking at us.

It was an inorganic gaze that still lacked emotion.

But even that was short-lived, the golem soon ended its combat stance and turned around with a much reduced light in its eyes. It returns to the original position according to the command entered.

“Whew.”

I finally let out a sigh of relief. Because I was sure it turned out the way I expected it to.

Actually, there was one thing I didn’t tell Beatrice when I explained the plan.

‘This is real.’

That’s because I wasn’t sure if the strategy that players often used to break through the 3rd level of the ‘underground’ would work in this world as it is.

It was practically a bug. That this is the way

‘I’d say it’s close to what the game company knew about and left it alone.’

A phenomenon in which, without incapacitating the golem, there is no further pursuit if you break through the gate and move beyond it.

Anyway, a bug was a bug, so I thought that it might have disappeared naturally as the game became a reality.

Well, looking at it now, it seems to have been applied as it is, so it was only fortunate.

If you can come over without fighting to the death, that’s it.

Now that the game has become a reality, if I try to insert it somehow to match the probability, I wonder if the code that was entered in the first place felt like that. No matter what happens, don’t go over to the place where the demonic sword is sealed…….

Why aren’t there things like that when you watch movies or dramas?

A setting like that no matter how loyal a knight may be, he cannot recklessly set foot in the residence of the emperor or king.

If you see that the golem doesn’t attack more because you just crossed the line, there must be a reason.

It doesn’t really matter either way for now, so I turned my head again after confirming that the golem had completely retreated.

Safety must have been secured now, so it seemed that we would have to achieve our original purpose sooner or later.

“…… Is that one?”

There is nothing to go far. There was a sword that came into sight just by moving your eyes slightly.

The long, silver blade shimmered faintly in the dim light.

If you go down there, you will notice a blue jewel embedded in the point where the blade and the hilt connect.

The sword itself looked like a very excellent sword, but in fact, the most eye-catching thing was the jewel.

The reason why that sword was called ‘Flugel’s Magic Sword’ was in that jewel.

A kind of medium in which the dragon’s soul is sealed.

Daughter of Sky Dragon. A shelter where Flugel sleeps.

I stared at the sword for a while, then took a step forward without much thought.

Diring!

“…… Huh?”

It was then that a blue hologram window appeared in front of my eyes. At an unexpected timing, the status window appeared.

────────────────

[Main Quest]

────────────────

It was a quest window, not a status window.

Anyway, a sudden appearance doesn’t change anything. I read the phrase on the hologram with slightly puzzled eyes.

────────────────

We have entered the first main episode [Dragon and God, and ‘Flugel’s Magical Sword’].

The story of this world is already changing because of your actions.

After many twists and turns, you have arrived in front of the magic sword, and now you have to deal with unexpected changes in your party. Those who want to know about the swords, dragons, academy and the secrets surrounding you will not hesitate to use force if necessary.

────────────────

“…… ?”

What are you talking about? What change?

────────────────

Put her suspicions of ‘Beatrice Louise’ to an end, and convince her of her sincerity unmixed with her deceit. Then, through cooperation, quell the threat centered on the demonic sword, make future disasters a thing of the past, and obtain the mighty power of the demonic sword.

If successful, a large amount of CP (clear points) will be paid and the gift shop will be opened.

────────────────

“… ….”

Yes?

Who’s suspicious of what?

I turned my head away feeling frightened.

There was a slight creaking sound, and it seemed that he was quite nervous during that short period of time.

Come to think of it, it seems pretty quiet even with the demonic sword in front of you that you wanted to get rid of…….

Isn’t that a bit strange?

“…… Leechee?”

I called Beatrice very carefully.

‘Ah.’

The moment our eyes finally met, I couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Hey, something seems unusual.
