All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 203

203. Children of the Dragon – 1

“Haa… Ugh… Uaaaah…”

Primbel screamed in agony as his limbs were severed.

He felt like he was about to die, but the Dragonkin’s [humanoid dragons] strong vitality was triggering regeneration instead of death.

As new arms and legs began to sprout from his severed limbs, Ian ruthlessly kicked him in the head.

–Bang!!

He bounced off the wall and crashed into it.

Before he could even speak after vomiting blood, Ian rushed over, grabbed him, and hurled him into the air.

–Slash!!

His chest split open.

But even so, Primbel didn’t die.

“Huff. Huff.”

He could only suffer.

In the meantime, his severed arms and legs had completely regenerated.

“You goddamn bastard!!”

–Whoosh!!

Massive flames poured from his wide-open mouth.

A powerful fire, capable of incinerating entire monster-made villages, was unleashed, but Ian simply smiled coldly and swung his sword.

Demonic Divine Art, Chapter of the Moon.

Ice Ring.

The silver energy gathered on his sword transformed into a sphere and shot forward.

Primbel narrowly dodged the Ice Ring as it extinguished the flames in an instant.

–Tzzzz!

The Ice Ring exploded upon touching the wall, freezing the surroundings.

Primbel felt a chill at the immense power.

“Crazy…”

–Slash!!

The moment that brief opening appeared, his limbs were severed once again.

Ian grabbed Primbel, who had fallen from the sky, and slammed him into the ground, moving his sword.

–Stab!!

“Kaaaaaack!!”

“It’s just the beginning. Why are you making such a fuss? Now, where is Gehern?”

“Kuh, Kuhuhu… He is in hell.”

“I think you should stop avoiding me and start crawling out with the information.”

“Kahahaha!! If Gehern-nim [term of respect] comes out, do you think the likes of you could even be a match for him?!”

–Whooong!!

A massive energy erupted from Primbel’s body, accompanied by a low vibration.

Ian stepped back to avoid it, and Primbel, who had regenerated his body in the meantime, glared.

Murderous intent filled his reptilian golden eyes.

“Do you think a mere human can handle the power of a dragon?!”

“I think I can handle it just fine.”

–Slash!!

His arm was severed again.

But as if he had predicted it, Primbel sacrificed his arm and charged at Ian.

“Kyahahaha!!”

Sharp horns aimed for his heart.

As Ian was about to swing his sword at the charge, now covered in an aura-like energy, Myae, who was behind Ian, cried out.

“Myaaaaaa!!”

At the same time, the light emitted from Myae’s body blocked Primbel’s charge.

“Ugh?! This damn spirit of light!”

“You should say cat-like.”

–Crack!!

Ian, who had appeared from behind, grabbed Primbel’s remaining arm and twisted it.

As he writhed in pain from the arm twisted in a strange direction, Ian slammed him in the head.

–Thud!!

Primbel was slammed into the ground, and dust rose.

When the dust settled, Primbel was gone.

“He ran away… or so you thought.”

Ian quickly threw his sword.

As the sword pierced the empty wall, Primbel, who was trying to escape using invisibility, reappeared.

Blood flowed down from his abdomen, pierced by the sword.

“Huff… Hah… How… What…?”

“If you’re going to hide, at least hide your presence well.”

Ian, as if mocking him, approached and grabbed his head.

Perhaps because he had suffered so much pain that he should have died several times over, Primbel was no longer able to regenerate.

“You know why I didn’t kill you right away, right? Now, answer me.”

Ian looked straight at his face and asked.

“Why do Dragonkin follow Gehern?”

“Heu. Hehehe… You don’t know anything? Keukeuke… Of course. Because Gehern-nim is the last dragon.”

“Not a demon?”

“Huhuhuhu… Yes. Gehern-nim is the only dragon left in this world, and the only dragon with the power of a demon.”

That’s why he, a Dragonkin, follows him.

After listening to Primbel’s explanation, Ian asked Kirke in amazement.

‘Can a dragon become a demon?’

The lich he had met before.

Kalteg, one of the lords of the Magic Kingdom, also tried to become a demon.

As such, it was not impossible for a dragon to become a demon.

“Is that so? Then one more thing. Do you know anything about Rubelin?”

“Kuaaaa!!”

Perhaps he had recovered some strength in the meantime, Primbel glared at Ian.

Mocking him as he barely exerted his Fear, Ian opened his mouth.

“That resistance. Very admirable. So I will also put my heart into it.”

–Crack!!

Ian grabbed his head and slammed it hard against the wall, saying coldly.

“Tormenting you.”

In the end, Primbel could not overcome the continuous violence.

After telling everything he knew, unable to withstand the torture and violence, he collapsed, finding peace, and Ian sat on his corpse.

‘Let’s 정리해 보자 [Let’s summarize]. So Gehern killed all the dragons in this world and became the only dragon, right?’

‘And he even ate the archdemons who came to him.’

‘After that, he became a Demon Dragon, went to hell, and received power from Rubelin to become one of the Seven Deadly Sins. So, why did he become a Demon Dragon?’

‘Okay. Let’s say that’s the case. Anyway, Gehern is behind the monsters’ actions.’

He makes the monsters have faith, gives power to certain monsters, and makes them create forces.

And he makes them attack the continent.

That was Gehern’s method of destroying the world.

‘Primbel said they were doing this work in neutral areas, right?’

In areas within the continent that are not neutral, each country could send knights and armies.

And other organizations cooperating in the process would also participate.

So even if monsters formed forces there, they would be quickly subjugated.

But neutral areas were different.

Since they could not send troops recklessly, they could not easily send subjugation forces even if a certain amount of power was created.

That’s why Primbel and other Dragonkin were doing this in neutral areas.

The first is the Mial Mountains, where the Academy is located.

The second is the Forest of Warriors.

The third is the Forgotten City.

The fourth is Dwarven City.

The fifth is the border area between the southern part of the Empire and the Southern Great Plains.

And the sixth was the Elf Forest.

The Sword Saint said that something similar happened in the Elf Forest, so it would be better to check it out.

‘Then it would be better to go and see.’

Ian nodded and stood up, looking down at Primbel.

His body was already cold.

Ian pointed his finger at it, and after a while, an unquenchable fire burned the corpse.

And the fire quickly spread to the monsters’ village.

“Myae. Let’s go.”

“Myaaaa~.”

Myae, who was looking at the fire, jumped and clung to Ian.

Ian, who came out with Myae, met Danju, who was waiting outside.

“Why are you here? What about the prisoners?”

“The kids came and took them away. They’re resting in the Forest of Warriors for now. But what happened inside?”

“Yes.”

“What is it?”

Ian told him about Primbel and what he had heard from him.

Danju groaned briefly after hearing it and shook his head.

“That’s really surprising. Dragonkin. Aren’t dragons something that only appear in legends?”

“I don’t know the truth either. I’d have to meet one to know.”

Ian shrugged, and Danju nodded.

“Anyway, the changes in the monsters are Gehern’s doing.”

“Yes. He’s really using his head well.”

Minimizing the input of demons and maximizing the effect.

The approach itself was completely different from the Seven Deadly Sins that had existed so far.

“I wish he would either descend like the guys so far, or attack openly with demons. Then it would be easy to find the evil. Ha. Dragonkin? Finding them will be a chore.”

He sighed and shook his head.

“Anyway, the Elf Forest. Are you thinking of going?”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s go together.”

“Going together will be late.”

“We have to take the gate anyway. I know the way from here to the Elf Forest.”

Take the nearest gate and go to the gate located in the northwest of the continent.

If you go further northwest from there for a few more days, you will reach the Beastmen’s Forest, where the main base of the Order of the Moon is located.

If you go a few more days west from there, you could reach the Elf Forest.

He spoke calmly as he had been there several times, but Ian shook his head.

“Going alone is faster.”

“How?”

“Like this.”

Ian manipulated his bracelet.

After a while, his body disappeared and appeared behind him, and Danju was horrified.

“Wh, what is that?”

“It’s a warp device. The Academy is developing it now.”

“Ah. That gate that can be used without ley lines? Did you already make it?”

“Did you hear about that?”

“The Magic Tower is in an uproar right now.”

Danju, recalling the memory he had heard when he went to the Magic Tower because of the monsters, turned his head and stared at his bracelet.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I really want it.”

“Come to the Academy later and buy one. I’ll take reservations since you’re Danju-nim [term of respect].”

He plans to sell it officially after this test is over.

Danju nodded as Ian said with a smile, then asked.

“It must be expensive, right?”

“Would this be cheap?”

“Hmm… But I heard you can only go to the Academy with it? How are you doing it?”

“You can just use it if you can calculate the coordinates. Of course, you’ll die if you fail.”

Danju, who was 고민하던 [pondering] over the words, asked carefully.

“Is there a discount for acquaintances?”

“Would there be?”

Danju clenched his sword tightly as Ian said firmly with a smirk.

“You’ll be busy in the future.”

* * *

Once back in the Forest of Warriors, Ian listened to the testimonies of those who had been captured.

But there was nothing particularly special.

If he had to say one thing, it was that the monsters performed rituals on the day the moon rose.

“Maybe the Order of the Moon is involved…”

“What nonsense! Why the Order of the Moon!”

An elf who had been captured shouted, and one of the humans retorted.

“The monsters treated you other races a little more gently!! And they only used humans as food!”

“That’s because you have less to offer!”

Humans and other races fight.

Danju smiled bitterly as he watched them pointing fingers at each other.

“The effect is amazing. Discriminating and increasing hostility towards each other…”

As he admired, Ian packed his things and stood up.

“I’m leaving. I’ll leave them to you.”

“Okay.”

Ian smiled at him and immediately activated the warp device to the Elf Forest.

When the warp ended.

Ian frowned.

“What?”

Quite a few monsters were seen running towards the forest.
