chapter 37
37. The third method
The dungeon that started running rampant became a mayhem.
Inner walls and columns that were reinforced with concrete collapsed.
As the spells weakening the dungeon collapsed, monsters began pouring out of it.
The dungeon changed its structure like a living creature to devour the students who entered its body.
“Just die!!!”
“Aagh!!!”
In the messy dungeon, my seniors and I were running around without hesitation, slicing up monsters.
A thick aura blade is formed on Andy’s sword and is slashing away the monsters.
Senior is also a member of the Imperial Knights, where only knights who have reached the level of expert advanced or higher can become regular members, so Andy is also active without hesitation.
When I said that the Archdemon was descending from inside, he almost killed me at first when I said that everyone should run away, but
‘This is a mess, but what kind of person is the instructor in charge?
Have you been retired for 10 years? Senior, would you go after me now? Will you take care of yourself?’
I grabbed him by the collar and had a serious conversation, and he’s fighting well.
We are finding, protecting, and escaping the students who were isolated in the ever-changing dungeon.
In my hand was an Artifact that looked like a compass that sensed life reactions.
It was an artifact that I had saved in advance for today.
Breaking down the walls of the dungeon, where the structure changes in real time, and slaughter monsters, the rescued students were chasing behind us.
“Wow… Those are the Imperial Knights..”
“I… Instructor looks different…”
Everyone was looking at Andy sunbaenim with yearning eyes.
I was just holding a long sword, but senior Andy’s sword had a thick aura waving.
Although they are moving similarly… I don’t even use the aura blade, I’m breaking down the rock walls,
In the eyes of the students, senior Andy, who is tall and emits colorful aura blades, looks cooler… Damn that’s normal.
I’m more amazing at cutting rocks without an aura blade, but they don’t know about that.
I spread my feelings all over the place, but when I couldn’t feel it anymore, I stopped and asked senior Andy.
“Seniors are all gathered now, right?”
“No, I can’t see Seymour yet..!”
Come to think of it, River is nowhere to be seen.
There was a place that suddenly popped into my head.
This was the hidden room where the remnants of the previous Devil Church were slaughtered.
If River was also born with the fate of the main character… There is a high probability of being there.
“Ugh… I have some guesses, so let’s go first! I’ll try to do something!!”
“Then thank you…! Let’s escape quickly!!”
“””Yes!!! Instructor!!!!”””
As Andy destroys the walls of the dungeon again with the aura blade and runs in a straight line to the exit, the students chase Andy.
As I tried to find the hidden room again, the magic wave spread throughout the dungeon again.
It is not an ordinary demon, but a very thick demonic energy is spreading.
“This really looks like the great devil is descending, but what is he eating!!”
At that time, something suspicious caught my eye.
The seal of the sealed boss room is twisted.
The black Magi is eating the boss room… Whole.
The boss room is just being sacrificed.
“It was all over, but then the ceremony was held again and again?!”
I really put a lot of effort into smashing it, but it’s absurd to be conscious again in such a short time.
This is why I hate pagans.
Like a cockroach, if you see one, it seems to wander around countless times in unseen places.
I had to find the two of them quickly.
———-
The entrance to the hidden room has been changed, but it’s not difficult to find.
I knew that the room was located under the boss room, so I just had to fall under it.
I can feel the presence of people.
This is Amy’s presence.
Is River somewhere else?
But I had no choice but to focus on Amy right in front of me.
Black light gathers in the hands of the great devil.
Amy doesn’t move.
A black stake made of demonic iron is stuck in the leg.
Amy will die at this rate.
“Hey..Yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya!!!!!”
Amy shouldn’t die.
She gave me some of her guns, but no matter how you look at it, Amy is a devil slayer.
He is not the same person as Hayden Parker, but he is the protagonist of a story that follows his narrative to some extent.
Born with the strong destiny of the main character, she is like a canary in a coal mine to me.
The original event… In other words, when a dangerous incident occurs, a foreboding phenomenon will appear around her unconditionally.
Now, the reason why she ran so hard was because Amy appeared in the Devil Slayer outfit, so she did it even more.
If you hadn’t seen her in that form then she would have just slacked off when she killed all the demon church bastards in her.
I wouldn’t have prepared this hard.
Yes, she is like the only alarm in the world.
She finally found what she was looking for, but let her die in vain in a place like this?
I will never tolerate it.
She has to be by my side to keep alerting me to the premonitions of dangerous events.
You have to survive long and healthy…!!!
Her hand holding her sword tightened.
The opponent is the Great Devil.. There is no point in just stabbing the sword like this.
I poured an aura into the sword.
The light of the aura begins to circle around the elongated blade.
The light, which shimmered like a weak halo, began to grow brighter and eventually emitted such a light that the figure of the Sword God could not be seen.
At the advanced level of Sword Expert, the aura blade looks like a flame wrapping around the sword.
The expression “The aura burns” Came out like that, but the aura I created didn’t match the expression “Burning.”
At first glance, the aura blade created in this way looked like a sword made of light.
A sword of light that is so powerful that it silently rages like a storm.
When I first tried this, I thought it looked like a lightsaber from a sci-fi movie.
My aura blade, which was shot out like a ballista, was lodged in the side of the Great Devil.
-Poo Woo Woo!!!
[Quaaa!!!!!!!!]
The Great Devil, stabbed in the side by an aura blade, screams.
“What are you doing to my canary!!!!!!!!!!”
The three ways to kill demons are passed down through oral tradition, and it is said that there are two ways in the world.
This is because the third method is a useless method that cannot be used without looking into it.
A third method that surpasses ‘divine power’ and ‘pure matter’, which can only be used by about 10 people on all continents in the same era.
That’s the aura blade that has reached the ‘pole’.
I drew my sword and flew backwards, landing in front of Amy.
The Great Demon was in pain as he grabbed his side.
There were burn marks around the stab wound, and dark demonic air was leaking through the wind hole.
[This pain… Different from the divine power…!! It’s thrilling….!! Hotter than the brimstone fire of hell!!! ]
Belphegor shouted like a madman as he clutched at the wound, as if this was the first time he had experienced such pain.
[Yeah… I’ve heard of it. Insects that can hurt us… You guys are the master!!!!!]
Aura blades that have reached the “Extreme” Level of power that the blade cannot be seen are proof that they have reached the level of “Master”.
“Yes, Grandpa. Is it your first time seeing Master at that age?”
I am one of only three Masters in the Empire.
———————————
Aura blades that have reached the ‘extreme’ level distort reality.
A master is a realm that cannot be reached with only qi and body, and a heart worthy of a master distorts reality.
Like demons from the other world and gods in the heavens, they deviate from the laws of this world.
Because Aura Blade, which has reached its peak, escapes from the rules of the world, it is also a deadly method for demons, beings of the other world.
“Oh, it exploded again.”
The long sword, which looked fine just a moment ago, turned to black ashes.
A normal sword cannot withstand the master’s aura blade.
I burned and ate one before, but it was gone again.
I could just bring the sword I left with the knights… But infiltrating the knights to do that was a suicide act.
Fortunately, there was a rare metal sword right in front of me, so I ducked down.
Amy looked up at me with her tear-stained face.
“Atlas… how..?”
“There was also a river earlier. Where did you go?”
“… In the dormitory now… There will be.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Just in case Amy disappeared, just in case.
One less thing to worry about.
I picked up Amy’s mithril greatsword.
“I borrow this.”
I felt the difference in the center of gravity of the thick sword compared to the long sword I usually use, but I endured it.
I was annoyed to be holding a sword that was taller than me, but even Amy uses it and it doesn’t make sense that I can’t use it.
As I picked up the sword, Amy asked with a surprised expression.
“But… How did you come here..?”
-Perfect!!!
“Ouch!!”
I asked about it, so I hit Honeybam first.
She asked me to tell her if she had a hard time, and when she told me that, she was angry that she almost died like a sunfish alone.
There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but I had to put it off after dealing with the demon in front of me.
And I condensed it into one word that I want to say the most.
“Be quiet because you will get scolded if you stay there.”
Amy looked a bit unfair, but she didn’t care and turned around and turned her attention to the Archdemon again.
I won’t lose to the tactic grandpa dropped by the devil’s church.
The aura blade shone in the shape of a mithril greatsword with the great devil in front.
