All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 133

◈ Chapter 133

67. Can You Recommend? – 1

Ian immediately left the dungeon and waited in front of it.

How long did he wait?

The ground rumbled.

“Kuaaaa!!”

Various monsters approached.

Goblins, orcs, trolls, ogres.

And insect-type monsters.

Normally, they would be busy eating each other, but due to the monster wave phenomenon, they were just running towards this place.

“Kirke, support me.”

Facing nearly a thousand monsters, Ian drew his sword.

It didn’t take long to resolve the monster wave.

The numerous monsters couldn’t handle Ian alone.

“This monster wave is a bit small.”

Originally, this level of wave would turn a small territory the size of a baronetcy [a small, hereditary landholding] into ruins within days.

Anyway, he easily dealt with them and waited for a while, and a man walked out of the forest.

He was a man with dark circles under his eyes and wearing noble attire.

He hid his malice thoroughly, so that no one would suspect he was a demon just by looking at him.

“This is amazing. I didn’t know a human could wield this much power. No one has stopped a monster wave since the Sword Saint and the Forest Keeper.”

“The Emperor?”

“Ah, that guy doesn’t stop the monster wave. He just controls the center leading the wave and leaves the rest of the monsters alone.”

The man seemed to have observed not only the Sword Saint and the Forest Keeper but also the Emperor.

After evaluating them, the man shrugged and greeted lightly.

“I am the Great Demon Tamruin.”

He doesn’t belong to the Seven Deadly Sins, but he is a powerful demon like them.

Like Volshe, the demon sealed by Eustachio in the past, he belonged to the ranks of the Great Demons, and he smiled.

“But this is a masterpiece. I’ve heard rumors, but Ian Brandon is really this strong.”

When Ian stared at him silently, he chuckled and took a step.

“I just thought it was a scam created by those Guardian bastards.”

“Oh, really?”

“But ‘that’ Ian Brandon has become this strong.”

“Enough with the nonsense. Hey, do you know me? If the Talent Merchant knows me, that means we’ve met before.”

Tamruin grinned and spread his arms.

“Yes.”

And he licked his lips with a cold expression.

“I took your talent.”

Ian smiled.

To think this guy was that guy.

“And yet you’re this strong. Excellent. That’s why humans are amazing. Even though I took that much talent. Now, sell me your talent again……”

Then there was no need to hear more.

-Kwaaaang!!

A blast erupted with blue flames.

Tamruin’s body was caught in the explosion and flew away in tatters.

Even though he suffered damage at the level of instant death, malice flowed from Tamruin’s body as he burst into laughter.

The death of the contractor caused the Great Demon to manifest, and Ian’s eyes flashed again as he asked.

“I negate you who do not answer my questions. Why don’t the Seven Deadly Sins manifest through contractors like you?”

Both the Seven Deadly Sins and Tamruin.

Both are treated as Great Demons.

In that case, seeing Tamruin manifest like this, there would be no need to perform a ritual like last time.

When Ian asked, he chuckled.

“The answer is simple. Those guys are special.”

A demon with four horns appeared.

Tamruin, who resembled a bat, spread his four larger wings.

“Special? What do you mean?”

“They are the ones who will lead the new world, so they are special. Well, the two who boasted about receiving power from our god have already been defeated by those Guardian bastards……”

“That’s me.”

“……What?”

“I caught them.”

Ian smiled and released the Demonic Eye.

And.

“And I’ll catch you too. Of course, I won’t catch you right away.”

Black energy surged from Ian’s shadow and spread around.

Tamruin was flustered in the Jet-Black World that was created in an instant.

“W, what is this……?”

He was completely trapped in darkness.

Thinking this was a kind of barrier, he opened his mouth wide and roared.

“This is nothing!!”

Golden lightning erupted from his four horns.

As he tried to escape from the darkness by illuminating the surroundings with lightning.

Ian wore a faint sneer.

“The despair that he has experienced.”

And took a step.

“Shouldn’t you also taste the despair of not being able to do anything?”

“……Don’t be ridiculous!! Ian Brandon!!”

Realizing that there was no way to escape from the darkness, Tamruin rushed at him.

Ian clenched his fist at him, who was flying with immense malice and scattering lightning.

Recalling the endless despair in this possessed body’s memories, he began to thrash him.

-Puck!!

He grabbed Tamruin’s body and threw it to the ground.

He rolled on the ground as it is, and gasped for breath while spitting blood.

Three of the horns, which were the symbol and pride of the Great Demon, were broken while being hit.

His whole body was torn and swollen, and his wings were torn to shreds.

Resistance was useless.

He was experiencing the despair of not being able to do anything but get hit.

Tamruin, staggering and crawling back, asked in fear.

“You…… what, what are you?”

Great Demon.

It is above the high-ranking demon, and if you only consider the class, it can be said to be equal to the Seven Deadly Sins.

Such a Great Demon couldn’t even use his power properly like a child.

Ian, who approached him panting, moved his foot.

-Puh-uck!!

“Keugh!!”

He rolled several more times and barely raised his head.

“What are you!!”

-Pajijijijik!!

Lightning flew, but it scattered with a single sword strike.

Seeing that, fear comes.

I’m scared.

I can’t win.

I have to run away.

But how?

I’ve already used all the methods I can use.

Magic, the power of demons.

Even if I spread my wings and flew endlessly in the darkness, I would eventually be easily caught by Ian again.

“Sh, damn it.”

“Now. Then it’s time for questions. Why are the Seven Deadly Sins special?”

“That’s……”

“I’ll make it easier for you to speak.”

“Kuaaaaak!!”

Even a Great Demon could not easily withstand the pain of having his soul crushed.

Ian looked down at him as if he were a bug, as he writhed in pain, and kicked him again.

“Uaaaagh!!”

Not only physical pain but also soul pain.

Tamruin roared several times at the terrible pain coming from both places.

How long has it been?

Only after his soul and body were completely tattered did he finally open his mouth.

“Th, those guys are just seven special ones to whom our god has given power! I, I don’t know anything else! Even they don’t know why they became the Seven Deadly Sins!!”

“Your god. Where is he?”

“That’s…… I, I don’t kn……. Aaaagh!!”

I tried touching his soul again, but Tamruin didn’t answer.

That means he really doesn’t know.

“Then the next question.”

Tamruin, who was glaring at him as he trampled on him, eventually began to say what he knew.

Of course, he didn’t know everything, but there was quite a bit of useful information.

After roughly hearing all the information and releasing the Demonic Eye, Tamruin gasped and pleaded.

“Save…… save me. If you, if you save me, I will catch the demons and give them to you…….”

Tamruin’s face contorted as Ian raised his sword.

“You son of a bitch!! I told you everything…….”

I didn’t say I would save him if he told me.

Ian cut and annihilated him, who was spewing out curses and curses, and then released the Jet-Black King’s Barrier.

“This is getting interesting.”

“Yeah. Let’s organize it as much as possible at the moment.”

“Yeah. Well. It doesn’t matter now.”

Tamruin was a talent merchant who created Stars of Talent under Greed.

Hastings was one of those who created and sent Stars of Talent to him.

The demons’ initial goal was to cause the Tower of the Forgotten City to go berserk.

Of course, it is possible to bring about destruction by killing all beings in the world.

However, since they had to bear the damage caused in the process, they chose the easiest and fastest method.

But Ian neatly closed the dimensional door, so they couldn’t use that method anymore.

“The next thing was to wait for this world, which lacks a worldview, to naturally perish.”

The Tower’s rampage plan became meaningless.

Therefore, they were trying to choose the second option, waiting.

This world has already used up its entire worldview.

So if left alone, the world will soon collapse and perish.

The current level of the continent will not be able to open the dimensional door again.

This world has already become Ian’s collection target and was being collected.

In that case, no matter how long they wait, destruction will not occur.

And the demons quickly noticed the unexpected movement.

“So they chose the third method?”

Accelerating destruction by killing all life.

So from now on, unlike before, the demons’ all-out offensive will begin.

According to Tamruin, the Balrog Altar was created by the magicians of the Magic Kingdom who barely survived the Tower’s rampage.

The Tower, which had begun to run wild, could not use its original functions.

If left as it is, it will eventually be unable to accept more worldviews, and worried about that, they tried to create a dimensional door again.

However, all the high-ranking magicians were caught up in the rampage of the dimensional door and died.

In the end, the demons tempted those who could not find a way.

If they create an altar and use the Stars of Possibility, they can create a dimensional door.

In the end, they were deceived and created the Balrog Altar.

A dimensional door was created with the Star of Talent obtained through it.

However, it was a dimensional door that spewed out demons, not a worldview.

In that way, there was a clear possibility that the demons would be active this time as well.

“Isn’t the situation different from then? There are Guardians, and there is information coming into the Academy, so I can find out and stop such large-scale construction.”

The problem is not just that.

“Also, the Solar Cult is making a fuss, and there will be fewer people cooperating with the demons, so they won’t use methods that are easy to expose.”

When a war breaks out, not only orphans but also vagrants are created.

As such, it will be possible to capture them leisurely and steal their talents.

The reason why Tamruin came to collect the Stars of Talent this time was also because of that.

Ian, who organized the situation while talking with Kirke, turned his head slightly.

People from the Academy were coming with the knights of the Bades Territory.

Ian, who was watching them, smiled.

“War…… where will a war break out?”

Kirke checked the information through Truth and reported.
