All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 149

149. Episode 149

75. Did Nothing – 1

“W, what are you doing?!”

Some of the knights who were with the village chief shouted in confusion.

It was understandable for the knights to react that way, considering he had suddenly killed the village chief.

However, Ian ignored their shouts and simply stared at the village chief’s corpse.

-Squelch! Squelch!

The village chief’s body, with its head severed, began to move.

Even with an attack that would have instantly killed a normal person, he was still alive.

The head that had been rolling on the floor was absorbed back into the swaying body.

And a new head began to form.

“How did you know?”

It wasn’t the timid voice from before.

As the knights were startled by the strange voice that sounded like grinding stones, Ian pointed his sword.

“I can tell by looking.”

“You’re quite the fellow.”

“Didn’t the other demons tell you?”

“What?”

“I am Ian.”

The village chief, or rather, the doppelganger [a shapeshifting being that impersonates another] in the guise of the village chief, stared at him intently before laughing.

“Ha! Hahahaha!! Euhahahahaha!! So you were Ian!!”

The village chief’s body transformed.

The color disappeared.

The form disappeared.

Like a giant slime, its very appearance completely changed.

As the body, emitting a subtle silver glow like transparent metal, was revealed, the people stepped back in shock.

However, the Gluttony that had taken over the doppelganger’s body did not let it be.

The body, transformed into living metal, moved.

As hundreds of spear-like forms rained down on the bewildered people, Wilde raised her staff.

“Shield!!”

Three magic circles overlapped, and an even stronger shield enveloped the transforming body.

Blocked from unleashing its body, it shouted roughly.

“Insignificant humans!!”

“Then I guess an elf has to step in.”

-Swish!!

Before anyone knew it, Gust’s aura blade slashed through its body.

Following that, Blanc’s spear strike and Widia’s dual swords moved.

The body was torn apart by three consecutive attacks, but.

“Khehehe……!”

The slimy monster simply regenerated the wounds.

“What?! What is that?!”

“It’s even nullifying physical attacks. Did it eat a slime too?”

“Huhu. It was a King Metal Slime. It was quite delicious.”

The most representative of monsters that ignore physical attacks is the Metal Slime.

And its pinnacle is the King Metal Slime.

It had devoured even a powerful monster belonging to the S-rank and gained its characteristics.

Watching him change his body while laughing leisurely, Widia raised her dual swords.

At the same time, magic imbued the dual swords.

“May ice and snow envelop my enemy!!”

The enchantment engraved on the dual swords was activated.

Instantly creating swords of ice, she quickly dashed in and slashed the swaying body.

-Clang!!

Ice enveloped the body, starting from the cut.

Similarly, Blanc, activating the magic enchanted on her spear, spun the spear.

“Hap!!”

The secret spear technique of the Auden family was unleashed.

A powerful thrust like light pierced through the frozen body.

“Astral Sphere!!”

And Wilde also raised her staff.

Magic circles for a powerful 5th circle spell were activated.

Three of them.

The light flowing from the magic circles at the moment they overlapped transformed into spears.

Hundreds of sharp gray spears pierced his body along with gray flames.

-KWAHAAAAANG!!

And a massive explosion erupted.

Gust, watching the students’ teamwork, was impressed.

He had been underestimating them as students.

But such fluid teamwork and powerful attacks.

It couldn’t be easily dismissed.

‘The academy’s level has risen quite a bit.’

Back when Rakid had enrolled, the upperclassmen of the academy were only at a slightly strong level.

But to think it would be this much.

‘Especially that one…….’

Blanc Auden.

She was also acquainted with Kilrod, a strongman he had fought before, and his son.

Judging by the skill with which she wielded the spear and handled aura, she seemed likely to reach master level within a few months.

‘I can’t afford to relax either.’

“Ian!! Finish it!”

Even though he had been hit by Astral Sphere, they couldn’t underestimate the opponent.

As Blanc shouted, pointing her spear, Ian tilted his head.

The three who had been taught by Ian had attacked with all their might.

How could it withstand that and survive?

Was it as he said?

In the place where the black flames had slowly subsided, only scattered pieces of flesh and traces of destruction remained.

“I always thought we were weak because we were constantly being compared to you. Aren’t we stronger than we thought?”

As Widia said with a smile, Ian shrugged his shoulders.

“Then everyone, step back.”

“Huh? You said it was over.”

“The first phase is over.”

The moment he finished speaking.

A black aura began to surge from the pieces of flesh.

-Ooooooong!!

-Clank! Clank! Clank!

The relics they possessed began to react.

A terrible malice was being revealed.

A Great Demon.

Gluttony, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, was beginning to manifest.

“From now on, we’ll take over.”

It was the Guardian’s role to resolve matters related to demons.

Gust spoke firmly to the three who were trying to fight more.

“But this is both the academy’s mission and a matter of our territory.”

“That guy is also an academy student.”

As Wilde spoke urgently, Gust pointed to Ian.

Even in the face of the increasingly immense malice, he was simply holding his sword indifferently.

“Don’t worry and just watch the surroundings.”

-Kuuuuuung!!

Vast malice was spreading out.

As the wind intensified as if a massive typhoon was blowing, Wilde bit her lip tightly.

“Blanc! Widia! And you knights over there!”

“Yes?!”

“Take the people and evacuate!”

The knights had blank expressions, but their opponent was the young lady of the Fredisian County.

Moreover, she was also a mage who had just demonstrated such powerful magic.

Therefore, the knights followed her instructions and began to evacuate the people who were outside.

“Don’t you know this saying?”

It was a giant monster with a huge mouth.

The giant mass of flesh without eyes, nose, ears, or even limbs, said, dripping green fluid.

“Even dogs aren’t bothered when they’re eating?”

The giant mouth opened.

Endless gluttony.

With the roar of gluttony to devour everything in the world, things in the village began to float.

“Huh?! Uh oh?!”

“MooOOOoo!!”

“Uwaaaaah!!”

The floating things were quickly sucked into Gluttony’s mouth.

Until just now, it had enjoyed gourmet cuisine, eating only specific things.

But now that its true form had been revealed, it had become a gluttony to devour everything.

As Alvadi’s suction power tried to devour everything in the village, no, everything in this world, Ian swung his sword.

“Then don’t you know this saying?”

“If you mess with me, you die.”

-Swish!!

One strike.

As the sword imbued with the power of the world passed, the giant mass of flesh split apart.

The mouth that had been trying to suck in and eat everything lost its power, and green fluid flowed from its body.

It spread out, trying to contaminate the surroundings further.

Ian lightly purified even the negativity created by the annihilation of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The people watching it couldn’t close their mouths.

“M, my goodness.”

“Young lady! Isn’t that, that student?!”

“It’s Ian. Ian Brandon.”

“Ian…… that Ian?!”

The knights also knew about Ian.

A person belonging to the ranks of the strongest.

To actually see him.

With admiration and fondness for the strong, the knights’ eyes sparkled as he finished the sacred ritual and said.

“I’m done. Let’s go.”

“It’s already over?”

“Yeah.”

Ian nodded to the surprised Blanc.

He caught Gluttony and purified the land that had been corrupted by the demon’s manifestation.

Wasn’t that enough?

“Those people will take care of the cleanup.”

The damage was quite significant due to the manifestation of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The livestock were quite startled, and some were injured by being caught up in the aftermath of the manifestation.

But Ian didn’t need to take care of it that far.

“I guess so…….”

“It ended too quickly for something related to a Great Demon, so I’m feeling a bit dazed.”

As Blanc and Widia each said a word, Wilde approached Ian, who was heading towards the horse.

And she bowed politely.

“Ian. Thank you so much.”

She had heard the name of the Seven Deadly Sins, but she had no idea how strong they were.

But now she knew.

When that monster with only a mouth appeared, her whole body trembled.

That was a monster that humans couldn’t handle carelessly.

And.

If that monster had moved properly, everyone in the Fredisian County would have died.

He had stopped it, so she couldn’t help but show the utmost respect.

“It’s nothing.”

To that courtesy, Ian responded as always with a nonchalant attitude, and Wilde wore a comfortable smile.

With this, three of the Seven Deadly Sins had been annihilated.

Balzac of Arrogance.

Sloth of Sloth.

Alvadi of Gluttony.

Now only four remained.

“Are all four of them in hell?”

“Maybe.”

“If we catch those four, will the attack from hell end?”

“I don’t know. But our Guardian’s goal is to defeat the Seven Deadly Sins and eliminate the demons.”

Returning to the mansion, Gust said in a bitter tone.

In the past, she was worried about how to catch the Seven Deadly Sins when they appeared.

But now she was worried about where to find the remaining Seven Deadly Sins.

“Anyway, if you keep looking like this, let me know. This one was good.”

“I will.”

Gust replied lightly, got on her horse, and the students also moved on horseback.

Perhaps they had already heard the story from the messenger?

Around the time Ian’s group returned, Count Chrome was waiting outside the mansion.

“Oh!! Wilde!! You’re safe!”

“Father!!”

According to the messenger’s report, what was in the village was a doppelganger who was once revered as a god.

And it was one of the Seven Deadly Sins, belonging to a Great Demon.

Hearing that, he thought his heart would explode.

Worried that Wilde might have been hurt, he hugged his precious daughter tightly.

“I heard that the academy’s upperclassmen also fight demons as a mission……. I can’t do this. My dear. Quit the academy now.”

“Don’t worry too much. And I’m a noble of the Fredisian County, right?”

If there is a problem in the territory, she must step up as a noble.

Of course, she has to take risks.

Wilde said with a smile that it was her role.

“Yes. You’re wonderful. Still, I hope you avoid dangerous things in the future.”

Chrome stroked her head and expressed his gratitude to Blanc and Widia.

“And Ian. Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you…….”

“It’s nothing.”

“It’s definitely something. As thanks for this, I will send more donations to the academy. And I will give you personal support again. And…….”

He looked at Gust standing behind him.

“Overlord. Thank you so much.”

“No. I didn’t do anything worthy of thanks…….”

Thinking about it, she really didn’t do anything.

Ian found the doppelganger, and the students caught it.

And Ian caught Alvadi of Gluttony alone.

Yet, such a polite greeting.

She cleared her throat after Chrome and the other knights continued to thank her and turned her body.

“Then Ian. See you next time. And you guys. Good job.”

And Gust left as if running away.
