I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Side Story Chapter 19 - Threats posed (2)

“Kha Ha Hak...!”

Carls was literally to die for.

It wasn't exactly the taste of death, it was like I was really going to die!

“shit...!”

Carls gnawed his teeth and hurriedly moved his body.

“Kwoaaaaaa!!”

Then, almost simultaneously, a terrifying scream was heard.

The terrible life that dwells inside it bursts out and hurts the spirit.

Carls grabbed the spear in his hand.

Cals is one of the few sword masters in the Empire.

He wasn't used to handling spears yet,

but the sword master's jjambab wasn't going anywhere.

Kwaaang!

As if ignoring all the monsters in front, he broke everything that stood in his way and rushed.

Tadak Kals also kicked the ground without hesitation or hesitation.

The surrounding landscape passes quickly, and the gap between you and the monster quickly narrows.

Soon after, the two met.

“Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

The terrifying roar erupting from the front echoes my instincts.

Before long, his sharp claws rushed at Carls as if tearing through space.

‘danger!'

Cals hurriedly raised his spear to block his attack.

However, his attack was faster than Carl's reaction.

Chow!

Carl's side was cut long, and red blood spurted out.

I am dizzy from the terrible pain.

An attack that even the senses and movements of a sword master could not respond to.

It was a movement that would shock others if they saw it, but

Carls had no time to pay attention to such things.

“Keugh...!”

Carls bit his teeth and endured the surging pain.

You must not retreat from here.

It has to end here and now.

Carls focused on the spear he was holding.

At the same time, it drew out the mana of the whole body and poured it into the window.

Then, he repeated the trick of chal (扎) he had learned from Seo-joon.

‘Like a single dot.'

Carls changed his movement and drew the spear long back.

Huge power began to condense into the spear that had been pulled back.

‘now.'

Cals burst out with that power at once and threw out his spear.

Just one stabbing kick.

That moment.

Kwap.

Around the condensed power, the surrounding space was slightly distorted.

And again.

Kwa-Ah!

A terrifying collision of power erupted, shaking the atmosphere.

Whoops!

At the same time, the body of the giant fell violently to the ground.

A sharp blow from Carl's.

The monster's chest, unable to block the blow, was pierced open.

dump.

After confirming that the monster had fallen, Cals sat down helplessly.

“Ha ha ha...! Haha...!”

The rough breath that came out was gasping as if it would soon pass, but Carl's expression was perfectly recalled.

Carls spread out his trembling hands and looked down.

The blow of the slash that was just cast.

The aftertaste was still lingering in my hand.

Of course, it was a blow that could not follow even half of what Seo-jun taught.

Of course, compared to what Seo-joon had cast, it was a blow that even the word “new blood” would not be enough.

“I did it...!”

Even so, I was able to properly capture the mystery that was embedded in it.

Thanks to that, I was able to defeat the monster in front of me in one blow.

He probably wouldn't have been able to do it if he had used a sword.

The monster he had just dealt with was something that even he, a sword master, had a hard time with.

Of course, it was a success after a desperate and arduous struggle, but Carls was now in a state of excitement.

A more developed self.

I was confident that I wouldn't get lost anywhere with this level.

Carls turned his head with a flushed face.

however.

“Go away.”

I'm going to go to the middle of the day!!!

There were thousands of monsters being swept away!

Not dozens, not hundreds, but thousands!

“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-!

“Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

It was literally being washed away!

In one word!

“......”

Carls was momentarily at a loss for words.

That would also be the case with the thousands of monsters being swept away.

It wasn't that different from the monster he faced just now!

There were even monsters that radiated even stronger momentum!

“Hmm... It seems there are a lot of monsters. Is this a place like this?”

“It's not like that...but something seems to be wrong. Certainly, it was difficult for Elian to handle.”

However, Seo-joon was chatting casually as if he had just left for a drink.

Eventually, Aren looked down as if he was lost in thought for a moment.

Seojun looked at Aren and slowly turned his head.

And the face of Carls he faced.

“What are you doing there alone?”

“......”

Carls couldn’t figure out how to answer this.

That would be the case, and a sword master was literally a person who reached the extreme with a sword.

Of course, it was quite far from the concept of a transcendent, but anyway.

He was one of the few beggars in the empire, and he was one of the most talented.

But in front of Seo-jun, what...

“......”

Carls just stared blankly at Seo-jun.

“What?”

Seeing Carl's like that, Seo-jun tilted his head.

And again, seeing Seo-jun like that, the mentor jumped out of his arms and shouted.

< I guess you have a sense of shame about yourself. >

Feeling of shame?

< Well, Carl is also a being who grew up listening to the voice of a genius. Um... Since the instructor is Seojun Kim, there is another problem like this. Then he jumped down and approached the desperate Carls with gunfire. < Since Kim Seo-joon is out of his mind, you don't have to be that way. Among the beginners I've seen, Karls is in the top ranks, so cheer up! >

“Thank you, mentor.”

Carls muttered helplessly.

Seojun just shrugged his shoulders once.

“It’s done. Don't be downhearted, have a drink or two.”

Seojun handed a small cup to Carls.

Carls accepted it without hesitation.

And the contents I checked... It was just plain water.

Do you drink cold water and cheer up?

It's been a while since I thought that.

< Oh! Give it to me too! >

Suddenly, the mentor hurriedly ran to Seo-joon, waving his small arms and legs.

Then he started to choke like a swarm.

“Your mentor ate a lot before.”

< Not too long ago! Not now! >

What makes a mentor so confident?

He put his hands on his hips and shouted.

“Ha, I see.”

Seo-joon let out a small laugh and took something out of the kibisis again.

It was a crude glass...? and water in a bottle.

For some reason, Seo-joon put the water in a crude glass and put it back into the bottle.

Then, he handed the bottle back to his mentor.

The mentor started drinking the bottled water like a child sucking on a baby bottle.

Gulp.

The water in the water bottle is reduced in an instant.

< Kiya...! It's this! This is it! >

The mentor raised his thumb with a bright expression on his face.

Then he shouted at Carls, who was absent-minded.

< Karls-nim, try it too! Once you taste the holy water, you can't get out! >

Holy water?

this?

Carls looked at the glass Seojun handed him.

No matter how you look at it, it was just plain water.

Carls looked at his face reflected in the water and gulped down.

and.

“Ah...!!”

I couldn't wake up to the indescribable refreshing feeling that dominated my whole body!

“What is it?!”

Carls opened his eyes wide and looked at the glass.

At first glance, it was plain water.

Literally common water.

But the taste was something that could not exist in the world.

furthermore.

Whoaaaaaagh!

Oh my God, even the power of magical power was felt!

It's like...

“Fo elixir?!”

It was the same effect as when taking the elixir.

Carl's eyes began to open wide.

In response to Carl's reaction, Seo-jun said with a puzzled expression.

“What are you so surprised about? Have you tried the elixir for the first time?”

“Isn’t it all natural!”

Carls shouted as if shouting.

“Eh? You say you're a prince But you're trying the elixir for the first time?”

“The elixir only comes out once in a few hundred years! No matter how hard I am, I can’t easily eat it!”

That would be the case here in Astelgia, the elixir was so rare that it was almost non-existent.

An elixir that increases the amount of magical power without any conditions.

It was so precious that even the crown prince himself had never eaten it.

“How could you give me something so precious…?”

“What are you dear? All you need is the Holy Grail and water.”

Meanwhile, Seo-joon took out the Holy Grail and a bottle of water from the kibisis again.

Then, he filled the chalice with water, put it back in the bottle, and handed it to Carls.

Carls accepted the bottle without hesitation.

Then, at Seo-jun's gesture to try it, he slowly brought the bottle to his mouth.

and.

“Heah ... !!!!”

I couldn't wake up to the indescribable refreshing feeling that dominated my whole body!

“Don’t believe me…!”

Carls couldn't believe this at all.

“Hey, can I have another drink?”

“of course. It’s all included in the tutoring fee, so drink as much as you like.”

After all, you can bill your mother for the money.

“I’ll just make a lot, so drink it whenever you’re thirsty.”

Seo-joon changed dozens of Asari bottles of water into holy water and handed it to Carls.

“ah...!”

Carls exclaimed involuntarily.

You can drink the elixir like water!

No, this is real water!

“iced coffee...! Aaaaa...!”

Carl's body began to tremble as if it had been electrocuted.

< Who is the master and not the disciple... >

The mentor shook his head.

And Seo-joon, looking at the electrocuted Carls, asked with a questioning expression.

“No, but the elixir is so precious here? Are there so many monsters?

“What do monsters and elixirs have to do with each other?”

“Oh my gosh.”

Seo-joon shouted involuntarily.

It seemed that he didn't know that he could make an elixir by extracting the inside of a monster.

‘Even Hagisa Hwata-sama didn't know how to extract the inner altar.'

If you think about it, taking out the inner hem of a monster was learned from Uiseong, not Hwa-ta.

Something that even transcendentalists could not easily think of.

Of course, ordinary beings couldn't even dare to do it.

‘Uiseong-nim, who realized that alone, must have been amazing.'

Indeed, only medicine was enough to become a hero of the cataclysm.

Seojun looked at Carls with meaningful eyes.

To be precise...

It was the look of a merchant as if he had discovered the rarest blue ocean.

Right then.

“I found the place Elian said. It was right in front. I think that's why there were so many monsters.”

Aren's voice, which had been silent for a while, was heard.

Apparently, he was looking for a location while chatting with Carl.

“Let’s go right away.”

Seojun nodded and moved on.

not exactly.

Whoa whoa

I was trying to move.

“......!”

“......!”

Seo-joon and Aren's eyes met at the terrifying scream that erupted in an instant.

And Seojun and Aren, whose eyes met, came up with the same idea at the same time.

‘different.'

‘different.'

And it's dangerous.

“Why did you ask to see me, Vettel?”

Elian looked at Bethel, who had visited the throne room, and said.

Vettel suddenly requested an audience.

Bethel

was the representative of the nobility and a noble with a high reputation as the next most powerful person in the empire after Elian.

So, no matter how much Elian was the emperor of the empire, Bethel was not an existence that could be ignored.

Vettel lowered her head slightly and spoke to Elian.

“It is because of the problem with the Gentiles.”

“That story must have been over at the meeting.”

Elian frowned slightly and said coldly.

He would, too, because literally it was an item that was settled at the meeting.

Even so, they dare to apply for an audience and argue.

It was the same as ignoring yourself.

“I have nothing more to say about him. Let me leave.”

Elian turned around while issuing a congratulatory order.

but.

“......”

Vettel was unmoved for some reason.

“I would have told you to leave.”

“No matter how much you tell your majesty, the empire's budget cannot be used recklessly.”

At the same time, Elian's expression twisted.

Vettel's behavior as seen now.

This was an act that went beyond rudeness and belonged to the axis of treason.

You wouldn't know that it was Vettel.

“Your Majesty's action now is like inviting a bigger threat to avert the impending crisis. Even if the crisis is avoided, if the budget of the empire goes down, isn't it the same as if the empire after that perishes?”

Still, Vettel had no qualms.

“You've become very arrogant while I haven't seen you, Vettel.”

“Please consider it advice for the empire.”

“under. advice? you are advice It's not even funny.”

Elian let out a cold laugh and said.

“go away. I will hold you accountable for this later.”

“May I take that to mean that you have no intention of giving it a second thought?”

“Ask the other way around.”

Pajijijik!

Elian's whole body began to glow with terrifying mana.

Emperor Elian reigns as the ruler of the empire.

Elian opened his mouth with a terrifying force.

“Can I take your actions as a request to kill me?”

living exploding.

Vettel spoke slowly.

“I know what Your Majesty is thinking. He probably believes in Aren, not the stranger. As always.”

And a word from Vettel that followed.

“But not this time.”

That moment.

jump.

In an instant, the door to the audience room opened, and a series of groups began to rush in.

They were none other than nobles in Bethel's power.

Some of the Imperial Knights were also mixed in.

Elian looked at them slowly.

And I was able to grasp the situation at once.

The imperial palace had already been subdued.

Elian slowly opened her mouth.

“The Empire looked good while I was gone. Did Cals take advantage of being young?”

“If you don’t have the ability, you can’t rule.”

“under. You speak as if you have power, Vettel.”

Elian sneered and continued.

“Because this action itself proves that you are stupid.”

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!

In an instant, Elian's entire body exploded with terrifying momentum.

Elian, who is called the ruler of the dimension.

Elian was the most powerful man in the empire that no one could match.

Elian alone was able to subdue this rebellion.

And that fact of course.

“Do you really think I would have acted without thinking?”

Vettel knew too.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Vettel's whole body exploded with evil momentum.

It wasn't the momentum that I could radiate at the level of Vettel I've known so far.

“You… what the hell did you do?”

Vettel looked at Elian with terrifying eyes and said.

“Today the history of the Empire will be rewritten. The tyrannical emperor and his teacher die. How are you?”

“gibberish. You dare to think that you can do something to Taesa—”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Vettel smiled broadly and continued.

“Do you really think you can come back alive? I thought you would know better by going there yourself.”

These were Vettel's words with many meanings.

That's why Elian was able to realize part of the truth at that time.

Crisis looming over the present empire.

Bethel is involved in this.

“You bastard...!”

Elian raised the momentum of his whole body.

There is no point in further conversation.

To be precise, suppressing this rebellion comes first.

“You shouldn’t think of me before that. your majesty.”

Vettel seems to have the same idea.

I burst into momentum against Elian.

#

Kwooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-!!!!

The scream that burst out once again spread through the heavens and earth.

murderous intent and malice. despair and anger.

There was an illusion that all the negative emotions were lumped together and seething.

Along with the fatal sound that dyed the sky black, Seo-joon could feel the creeping death attack.

and momentarily

Whoaaaaaaaagh!

In an instant, endless darkness began to sink around Seo-jun.

flash!

And red eyes shimmering between them.

Seo-jun could see in the pitch-black darkness that did not allow even a single point of light.

A beast covered in pitch-black hatred and madness, a beast created with blind murderous intent.

It seemed as if madness had been squeezed out of every vein in his blazing red eyes.

An insatiable thirst for blood.

Hunger's desires.

Even if I gathered all the negative words in the world, I couldn't explain this feeling right now.

“This is…!”

Aren's voice trembled at the malice felt throughout his body.

Dangerous.

It is too dangerous.

In Aren's head, a warning from his instincts resounded incessantly.

At the same time, Aren's hands began to tremble involuntarily.

It was Aren who had faced many evils in the past.

It was Aren who was called the guardian of the dimension and fought against the beings that threatened Astelgia.

But it's different.

It's so different.

Now this momentum...!

That moment.

Hey hey profit!

An unknown, intangible life force was directed to the nape of Aren's neck.

Aren hurriedly raised his mana and formed a translucent film.

Kwa-ang!

Chaeng-Geurang!

Soon after, a large explosion exploded, shattering the membrane.

“Cool!”

At the same time, dark blood flowed from Aren's mouth.

and momentarily

Quagga gag gag gak!!!

A wave of terrible murderous intent rushed to Aren again.

Aren was able to realize intuitively.

That existence cannot bear itself.

And die now!

Right then.

Aww————Oh!!

An indefinable ominous sound broke out.

As if the ground was drying up in a severe drought, cracks like spider webs suddenly appeared.

and gaze.

There, Seojun was blocking Aren with the spear of Longinus.

Blasphemy!

Seo-joon confronts the rush of murderous intent.

It could not overcome Seojun and eventually disappeared.

Whoa whoa

A scream filled with anger erupted.

The long, resounding noise, like the tinnitus of hell, paralyzed the hearing and gave rise to the illusion of standing on the edge of death, where life hangs.

All the hatred, malice and madness burst out as if they were engulfing the space.

Eyes burning red.

Madness that engulfs you just by looking at it.

The muscles stiffen, and the sharpened mind binds the body.

“Quaaaaaagh!”

Carls, who could not overcome the power, let out a sound in pain.

Eventually, Carl's eyes became bloodshot red and his mind began to crumble.

“Keugh...!”

Madness that even Aren can only endure.

Right then.

Woe—— Evil!

In an instant, a subtle yet mysterious energy began to burst out around Seo-jun.

It was an absolute force that could not be shaken by any thought, madness, or fear.

Since the heart of the beginning is not shaken,

nothing around it is swept away.

“Heo-euk...! Heo-euk...!”

Only then did Cals come to his senses.

and straight sight.

Turbuck.

It seemed that Seo-joon took a step forward.

It's obviously an ordinary pair, though.

Looking at Seo-jun's back, it felt like it was even bigger than Taesan.

and.

“Everyone stay back.”

Along with Seo-joon's distant voice coming from behind him.

Koo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo...!!!!!

The power of transcendence, which cannot be defined, has begun to materialize.
