I Became the Only Non-mage in the Academy

Chapter 84: The Origin (3)

Chapter 84: The Origin (3)

O God of Light! Bestow upon me your blessing! O God of War! Grant me your armor! O God of Struggle! Grant me your protection!

As the fight began, Saint looked up to the heavens and exclaimed.

Something fell from the ceiling above.

-Master.

Black Heaven warned me, as if to urge caution.

Soon, light pierced through the labyrinths ceiling and poured down.

It formed a golden halo above Saints head. A dazzlingly bright armor was woven from light.

The blessing of the God of Light and the armor of the God of War.

And, when entering a struggle, the protection of the God of Struggle that enhances physical abilities in response to the users will!

What a hassle.

I stepped forward and assumed my stance. Winters Sword, stored in White Rouge, had been there for quite some time.

I checked the charge rate with my Talent, Reading.

[158%]

Not bad.

I wrapped myself in the Energy of Defying Heaven. However, I didnt imbue it into the sword. Most artifacts would be dealt fatal damage by the Energy of Defying Heaven.

Sleung.

With a sound of friction, the Winters Sword was drawn, spreading a cold, blue brilliance as if to freeze the world.

I stepped forward.

The technique was extremely fast ().

I executed the Black Flash Sword technique. The sword, faster than anyone else, became a blue flash of light.

Chajeok. Chajeojeojeok!

Black Flash Sword Technique ()

Black Lightning Flash ()

Those who couldnt react were split by the blue flash. Protective shields sprung from their school uniforms, and various protective gears and magic spells cast on the walls, floors, and ceilings of the labyrinth began to protect the students.

There were ten.

Not bad.

I had wiped out a third of them in one strike. Fear began to appear on most of the remaining students faces.

Ha ha

Saint laughed in a ridiculous voice. Yet, he pointed a shining greatsword of light at me with a stern expression.

Really absurd, Lee Seo-ha.

Saint made the suggestion then addressed the other students.

If you all rush at Lee Seo-ha, cant you stop him?

Se, seriously?

I will buy time alone.

Saint declared with a resolute look.

Ill somehow stop Kim Ara. Haram, call the students who are within the top 10 nearby. The rest of you, attack Lee Seo-ha.

Hearing Saints words, the childrens expressions shifted.

The protection from the God of Struggle that Saint possessed slightly influenced the other students.

Kim Ara. Even if its you, you wont be able to easily defeat me if Im determined to hold out.

Saint was correct. In the case of others, the outcome might have been different, but he was a Holy Knight blessed by five gods of the Holy War.

Additionally, given his specialty in defense, it would indeed take Kim Ara some time to overcome him.

I took a count.

Nineteen.

Including the one who called for backup.

Even time was against us.

I realized I needed to handle this carefully.

I returned the Winters Sword to its sheath, White Rouge.

Then, I took hold of Black Heaven.

Sigh.

I finely tuned the senses of the Sword Demon.

Click.

A switch flipped in my mind, and the worlds hues blurred like a watercolor painting on canvas. I surged ahead.

The count was nineteen. I intended to end this swiftly and without prolonging the fight!

Cra, crazy! Hes headed straight for us?

Thinking about it now, I had received quite a lot of help as well.

The best way forward would be to take her to the dungeon.

- And be careful. Your bounty has increased, and many villain groups are after you, like the Mine-led Nazi Empire or the Black Shirt Squad The Wings of Dark Flame and Eyes of Illusion are also watching you.

The warning from the sorceress came to mind.

My bounty had increased, and groups of villains like Mines were watching me.

It seemed that The Brigade of Eternal Heaven had backed off,

But the groups mentioned by the sorceress were not to be taken lightly.

Maybe I should just take Seo Ga-yeon with me.

I felt suddenly tempted.

But perhaps it was intuition; I had a feeling that it might actually drive us apart.

I should use it.

I looked up, thinking of the points I had been saving.

It seemed like I should buy that talent.

In an abandoned factory in Eulsan, a masked figure sat on a chair.

Cough.

On the opposite side, a middle-aged man in his late forties coughed up blood. Dark, clotted, crimson blood. It was the result of a curse cast by the being before him.

Why, why are you doing this to me?

Hmm, theres no particular reason.

The masked figure spoke softly.

Just that we want something you have. Well, something like that.

Although his expression was hidden by the mask, the middle-aged man sensed the masked figure was smiling slyly.

The mask could it be The Brigade of Eternal Heaven?

Oh, am I famous here? Its an honor that my name has spread to the Silver Country.

The masked man nodded and smiled contentedly.

Silver Country

An ancient country that once existed in China.

However, as dimensions overlapped and broke in China, the country faced the disaster head-on.

It was once the most ravaged by monsters and Mines; the Seven Evils nearly destroyed the country from one location.

Above all, the entity known as Apostle appeared and tore China into five pieces.

The five divided parts of China took the names of ancient Chinese countries independently, and among them, the middle-aged man was a key figure from the Silver Country.

Located next to Korea, it was the most chaotic city.

Such was the current state of China.

Pl, please spare me. If you do, Ill give you the hidden safe

Oh, the one in Anhui Province?

Startled

The middle-aged mans expression turned to panic at the masked figures words.

Pfft. You think we started this without knowing that?

The masked figure stood up.

Thud, thud.

Then, he pointed a gun at the middle-aged mans head.

Then adios~.

The masked figurethe leader of The Brigade of Eternal Heavensaid playfully and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The middle-aged mans body slumped. The leader, removing his mask, said,

Gangcheon. What happened to the vice-leader?

Weve located him. But hes in the same place as The Overlord.

The leaders expression grew increasingly blank.

Gangcheon sensed the boiling killing intent behind that expression.

Leader. I usually dont like saying this, but The Overlord is dangerous. Hes a monster capable of destroying a country single-handedly.

Gangcheon. Our principle is always the same. We never abandon comrades. And if a comrade has been wronged, we repay it a hundredfold.

Rules were created to live like a human being, born from trash.

The leader smiled coldly, preparing to confront The Overlord.
