All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 268

268. I Wanted to Confirm – 2

“Huh? No, it’s exactly the same?”

“Myaa~.”

Willdy denied it, but Myane cried as if agreeing with Ian’s opinion.

As the three of them looked flustered, Ian felt frustrated.

“When you guys get back, learn an instrument or take singing lessons.”

Just then, another woman’s voice was heard.

“It’s this way! This way!”

“There’s something over here!!”

This time, it was a voice similar to Willdy’s.

Blanche and Oerina tensed up at the sound, and Ian swung his sword again.

“Kyaaaa!”

As the dark energy was sucked into the passage, a scream erupted.

Blanche swallowed hard.

“Hey. Isn’t the Kejus supposed to be an extinct monster?”

“Yeah. But there were also doppelgangers that were said to be extinct.”

“Well, yes, but that’s related to the Seven Deadly Sins.”

“This is the Demon King’s ruins. There might be monsters left from the era when the Demon King was active.”

“Then what have they been eating all this time?”

“We learned in class. Kejus are said to mummify themselves and fall asleep if they can’t eat for a certain period of time.”

As Ian said what he had heard in the academy class, Blanche tilted his head.

Ian looked at him for a moment and then nodded.

“Ah. This comes up in the Advanced Monster Research class. Willdy, you know, right?”

“Yes.”

As Willdy nodded, Oerina made a serious face.

“Hey. Then Grajin and the others… aren’t they in danger?”

“Grajin took that class with me.”

“Still, distinguishing voices…”

“If they’re from the Southern Nomads, they’ll be able to distinguish voices. If Liza is with them, they’ll be able to tell.”

Ian spoke as if he wasn’t worried, and the three sighed.

I almost want to see this man worry.

“Then let’s go find the others quickly. But where should we go…”

Blanche looked at the passages in front and behind, then turned his eyes to the floor.

Since it’s a place where people can’t easily enter, it wouldn’t be difficult to find traces if someone came.

“Oh, oh. The footprints are divided into two paths?”

Even both have the same footprints.

As Blanche panicked, Ian looked at the state of the footprints and pointed to the passage ahead.

“It’s that way.”

“How do you know?”

“The depth of the footprints is different. It’s subtle, but you can tell that this side’s footprints were made more recently.”

Pointing to the footprints heading back, Ian spoke calmly, and the three looked at them.

I can’t feel much difference.

“Wow. What kind of observation skills are those?”

“Hey. If you want to get stronger, you’ll have to learn this kind of thing. Maybe not now, but you’ll hit a wall later, and observation skills will be a big help then.”

“Really? How should I train that?”

“I’ll teach you the method later. You just need to sharpen your senses… Anyway, let’s go.”

Ian strode forward, and the three looked at each other before hurriedly chasing after him.

How long has it been since they entered the passage?

A scream was heard from inside the dark passage.

“Kyaaaa! S, save me!!”

It was Liza’s scream.

Blanche tried to rush out but looked at Ian.

He didn’t even care.

“Is this also a Kejus?”

“Yeah.”

“Ugh. We would have died right away if we had come in by ourselves.”

Oerina groaned and clenched her fist.

Why do they have to come to a place like this and bother people?

When I meet Grajin and Widia later, I’m going to punch them.

As she vowed deep in her heart, Ian grabbed the hilt of his sword.

“It’s coming.”

“Huh?”

Something is moving in the darkness.

It was a furry monster with long arms that seemed to reach the floor.

It resembled a monkey, but it had four eyes and two horns on its head.

The monster, with its grotesque form, lumbered closer, and Willdy was startled.

“Kejus!”

“Kyaaak! Kyaaak! Kyaaak!”

The Kejus, mimicking Willdy’s voice, burst into screams and charged.

As it leaped up quickly, revealing its long claws and sharp teeth, Ian lightly swung his sword.

-Slash!!

The leaping body was cut in half.

The three didn’t find it strange that he had cut down the Kejus in one blow.

“He even killed a dragon, so this isn’t surprising.”

“Well, he’s always been like that.”

“It’s coming again. Everyone, get ready.”

Ian easily caught the first Kejus, but the rest were the problem.

Blanche held his spear, and a low breath was heard from the direction he was aiming.

“It’s dangerous! It’s dangerous! Let’s run away over there!”

It was Liza’s voice.

As the Kejus approached, uttering the same voice as her, Blanche growled.

“How dare you mimic someone’s voice!!”

The aura shot from his spear pierced the Kejus’s chest.

At the same time, Willdy and Oerina’s magic struck them.

The battle that began in this way was quickly resolved.

“If you’re careful about being drawn to the voices, the Kejus itself isn’t that difficult to fight.”

“Still, don’t chase after them. You have to think about the location. The Kejus are overwhelmingly advantageous in the dark. I wonder if the others are holding up well.”

Blanche wiped the blood off his spear and asked.

“Ian. Do you know where the others are?”

“Hey~ Even if it’s Ian, it’s hard to figure it out from here…”

“Them? Second basement floor.”

“…Are you even able to grasp the internal structure here?”

“Huh? Of course.”

I was speechless at his confidence.

Blanche closed his mouth and then tapped Ian on the back.

“As expected of Ian.”

“It’s nothing much.”

Ian spun his sword and pointed it at the floor.

“Let’s go the quick way. The quick way.”

“Are you going to break it and go down? Isn’t that dangerous?”

I didn’t know what was here, but I wondered if it was okay to just break it.

Ian nodded as if it were natural to the worried Oerina.

“Grajin will hate it, but I’m not really interested in the ruins.”

Demonic Divine Art, Chapter of Heavenly Destruction.

Landmine Formation.

As soon as he finished speaking, he stuck his sword into the floor and poured internal energy into it.

At the same time, cracks began to appear in Ian and the surrounding corridor.

-Crack!

And the passage was smashed.

The bottom was quite deep, and the falling time was long.

Oerina, realizing it was dangerous, raised her staff as she fell.

“Reverse Gravity!!”

The gravity at their location was reversed.

As the fall stopped near the floor, Oerina released the magic and said.

“That was close. Hey. Can’t you tell me when you’re going to do something like this?”

“I thought you guys were skilled enough that this height wouldn’t be a problem.”

Ian replied nonchalantly and pointed to the passage.

“Myaaaa~.”

Myane raised her fur in [alarm].

Seeing this, Willdy tensed up and raised his staff.

“There’s something ahead.”

“…What is that again.”

A monster made up of several arms was moving.

What is that?

A monster that I have never heard of or seen before begins to approach.

-Kirrrrr!

‘Shahad’s Wall?’

Magic that reflects aura or magic once.

It was as Kirke said.

The semi-transparent wall created by Kamerora reflected the aura shot by Blanche after seeing the monster, and Willdy was horrified to see it.

“Ba, Barrier!”

But her barrier was meaningless.

Because Ian swung his sword again.

-Clang! Clang! Clang!

The blade-like aura went back and cut off the monster’s arms and body.

The monster slumped, probably because it was quite a big blow, and soon disappeared into black smoke.

“What? What is that.”

“Kamerora. That’s also a monster from the Demon King’s era.”

“There’s all sorts of things. But it uses aura…”

“Ah. It doesn’t use aura, it’s a reflection magic.”

“Reflection? Is there such a magic?”

As Willdy was amazed, Oerina nodded.

It is a forgotten magic now, but there was a magic that only high-ranking wizards used when the Magic Kingdom existed in the past.

“It’s a magic called Shahad’s Wall. It is said that it can bounce back all aura or magic.”

“Wow. Such magic.”

“It’s a completely dead magic like dimensional magic. Ugh. I wish I could find that formula here.”

As Oerina shuddered, Blanche was puzzled.

“But why couldn’t you bounce it back the second time?”

“Ah. That can only be bounced back once. You have to use the magic again to bounce it back again.”

As Oerina told the story she had heard from her grandmother, Willdy and Blanche nodded.

And they glanced at Ian.

“Why?”

“Did you know?”

“Yeah.”

Kirke told me.

As Ian nodded, Willdy smiled.

“Ian has the legacy of the Magic Kingdom. Of course, he would know.”

“Then can you use that too?”

“I don’t think there’s any need to use that… It can only reflect once anyway.”

“Once is enough.”

“I can use a lot better than that, so it’s okay. Come on. Let’s go. If we go a little further, we can join the others.”

Ian spoke nonchalantly and walked ahead.

After meeting a few more traps like that.

After defeating some of the monsters that were thought to be extinct, they were able to reach a large cavity.

“Is it here?”

“The kids aren’t here?”

“They’ll be here soon.”

Ian pointed to one passage.

How long has it been since he spoke?

Three people were walking from there.

“Huh? You guys…”

The one leading the way was Grajin after all.

Seeing them as if they hadn’t fought once, Oerina burst into anger.

“Hey! You! Why are you here! Huh?!”

“Why are you suddenly angry?”

Grajin frowned, and Oerina shouted even more.

Leaving the two alone, Blanche quickly approached Liza.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Yeah. Uh… but why are you here, Blanche?”

“That’s what I should be saying. Coming to such a dangerous place… Why did you come? Do you know where this is?”

“Demon King’s ruins.”

He came knowing it.

Blanche sighed, and Willdy approached Widia.

“Widia. Why did you come here?”

“Ahaha. That’s. I owed Grajin a debt, and he said he would pay it all off.”

Willdy raised his hand and slapped Widia on the back several times.

While she was in pain from being hit with a back smack, Ian spun his sword and grabbed it.

“If you’re done talking, gather around.”

“Huh? Uh. But Ian. Why did you even come?”

“The kids were too worried. But why did you guys come here?”

“It’s the Demon King’s ruins, how can I stay still? Rather than that.”

Grajin shrugged.

“You know I’m from the Urkul family, right?”

“I know.”

As Ian nodded, Grajin sighed.

“Everyone knows what kind of family the Urkul family is.”

Everyone is silent.

Grajin smiled at them.

“It’s a family that was once a subordinate of the Demon King.”

“But Edho Urkul, the ancestor of the Urkul family, later helped the hero and helped defeat the Demon King.”

As Blanche spoke, Grajin nodded.

“There’s one hidden story there.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a story that’s only passed down in our family.”

Grajin’s eyes flashed.

“The Demon King was not destroyed by the hero, but merely sealed. As much as we betrayed the Demon King and sided with the hero, we must prevent the Demon King from resurrecting.”

“…Uh. Um.”

“I just wanted to see if that was true.”
