The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 99

< 099. Aira's Eyes (1)>

There was no major change. But knowing the true power of this engraving, I felt different. I bowed my head to Ira.

“Congratulations! You have now completely overcome the pilgrim’s ordeal.”

Aira bowed her head and offered words of congratulations. Most dungeons in [Difficult Dungeon] require quests.

Because the dungeon theme is to select people and receive them. The quest was to obtain qualifications. The imprint omits all of that.

“I read materials related to the Anaye Church some time ago.”

“Is that so.”

“Yes. Information from all denominations also comes to the Holy Land. Please don’t worry too much about it.”

I shrugged my shoulders at Ira’s concern. There was nothing I could do about information like that. It wasn’t that important, so it didn’t matter.

“I heard you are still a student. You are truly a proud junior. There are many religious traces in the Museon Academy. Those imprints will surely play an important role.”

I nodded at Ira’s words. I knew it well too. [Difficult Dungeon] has unchanging bosses such as Astral and Berenine.

And there was a boss that the user chose directly. I was thinking of replacing it all with religious bosses. I plan to skip the cumbersome pre-quests with just one pilgrim’s engraving.

“I want to receive Ira’s eyes.”

“okay.”

It seemed like the conversation was almost over, so I brought up a different topic. At the mention of Ira’s eyes, Ira opened her eyes wide, then carefully closed them.

“It is also a token that can be obtained through God’s trials. “You must be tired as you have just completed the pilgrimage. Would you like to do it now?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

I nodded confidently. A warm smile spread across Ira’s face.

“Follow me, pilgrim.”

Ira, who got up first, personally guided the way.

We were climbing floor by floor of the huge clock tower where Ira resides.

“What a beautiful view.”

“Yes, definitely.”

The clock tower at the top offered an amazing view. Huge windows in all directions showed the wondrous nature within.

The joy of seeing the huge snow-capped mountains from a great height. The beauty of seeing all the buildings in the holy land at a glance.

“Other than floating islands, this clock tower is the tallest building in the world. “Everything you see here is everyday life.”

Ira spoke with a voice full of pride. I took in the scenery for a long time.

When Ira looked back, she was already wearing a white hood.

“Ira’s eyes are a precious object that, shamefully, bears my name. However, they are not objects that humans can easily create.”

I tilted my head at the following explanation. Although Aira’s eye was classified as an artifact, it was not a very amazing item.

In the game, it was a national item that all religious characters carried around.

“The God whom you love the most and who loves you the most. We are about to meet him. Are you ready?”

What are you preparing for? Ira smiled as if she found it amusing, looking at me with a puzzled expression.

“You asked such a pointless question. You have already completed your pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Then I will go right away.”

“No. What… … .”

Ira, who had spoken humorously, tapped my chest. The surroundings began to glow brightly.

“I invite you to a great journey.”

Light began to fall from the sky. The light that should have been blocked by the roof passed right through it and enveloped us.

I blankly admired the light pouring down around me. It was rainbow-colored and bright enough not to blind me.

“Ugh.”

I was caught off guard when I felt a strong pressure. I had to kneel due to the force of something huge pressing down on me.

Suddenly, I looked around. The furniture and the building were unharmed. Strangely, this strong pressure seemed to be applied only to me.

“What is this?”

Ira was taken aback when she saw me suddenly falling over. She fidgeted and studied me.

“Are you okay?”

“Ugh… … Ah… … Pressure… … Stress… … Power… … .”

I couldn’t speak properly because my whole body was weighed down. In response, Ira got down on her knees and began to pray.

“Mother of the seven gods who encompass the world.”

As Aira continued to pray, the pressure eased a little. I frowned and slowly tried to get up.

-Whew.

Suddenly, a circle of reincarnation appeared behind me. It began to spin violently like it had in Anash, filling up my stamina.

“… … !”

Only then did I realize that this pressure was eating away at my stamina at an alarming rate.

After the battle with Anash, I stayed in the infirmary and found a way to use the Circle of Reincarnation. I found this feature quite useful.

‘Already 10%. ‘I didn’t even feel like my stamina was decreasing.’

A function that automatically pops out and restores health when it reaches 10% of maximum health.

Because I believed in this ability, I could stand tall in front of assassins like Duhane’s purge squad. The fact that the circle of reincarnation has been activated now means that my health has decreased by 10%.

“Pilgrim! You must trust in God. The God who calls you now has no intention of harming you!”

Ira now spoke to me as if she was pleading. He talks about trusting in God and entrusting oneself to him. I furrowed my brows.

I have no intention of believing in any god other than Anaye, and even if I left that out, the stamina I had stored in the circle of reincarnation was disappearing because of this damned ray of light.

In the first place, this was activated automatically, so I couldn’t stop it at will.

“Ugh.”

In this way, all the extra lives I had worked so hard to save were gone. I took out the Bible under intense pressure.

The Bible, which recognized my will, appeared with a soft light.

“Pilgrim! Any more than this will cause serious injury!”

Despite Aira’s dissuasion, I struggled to get up. I opened the Bible and cursed excitedly at an unknown god.

A familiar thunderbolt erupted from the Bible. I smiled fiercely at the huge amount of heat I felt for the first time in a long time.

“Everything… … is gone… … is gone!”

I took out the lightning wedge from the Bible and swung it towards the sky. The lightning wedge with 10% of my remaining health shot into the sky with a fierce momentum.

-Keeing.

The lightning wedge grew in size, making a sound that burned the air around it.

The huge thunderbolt was intertwined with rainbow-colored light, creating a dizzying mess. As the light surrounding my body disappeared, my stamina no longer decreased.

“Administrator.”

“… … “Pilgrim.”

“It’s an interesting situation.”

The lightning wedge was summoned and the ceiling of the clock tower was already shattered. I looked at Ira with cold eyes and then turned my gaze to the sky.

The lightning spike and the light were still fighting fiercely.

“The explanation will be long. “You have to make a good excuse.”

Having said that, I invested my rapidly replenishing stamina into the lightning wedge.

He began carving the thunder horn symbol several times. The thunderbolt that had simply spewed out gradually began to take shape.

-Keeing.

He threw a lightning wedge in the shape of a spear with all his might.

The lightning wedge shot into the sky, deflecting the rainbow beam that was blocking it. The lightning spear went up higher and higher, defying the beam of light.

-Kurung.

I snapped my fingers as I watched it rise to a certain height.

A blindingly bright light burst out, and the thunder horn symbol planted on the lightning spike began to explode.

“Because of the beam of light just now.”

“… … .”

“I died 9 times.”

The intense burst of current finally canceled out the beam of light like a broken glass window. I lowered my gaze, watching the current spread out through the clouds.

He growled as he looked at Ira who looked flustered. Nine lives, as if they were blood, had disappeared.

* * *

“Wow. What is that?”

Winter Therapist was able to get up as it was almost lunch. My body, which had reached its limit due to hiking, recovered in an instant.

“How do you feel?”

My calves and lower back, which were about to explode, were completely healed. Winter smiled brightly and answered Aro’s concerns.

“It’s okay, thank goodness.”

Winter left the inn with Aro, who welcomed her, and was impressed by the intense light shining into the clock tower.

“What kind of light is that strong?”

“hmm. “Davide went there.”

“……yes?”

The halo of light falling with such force as a waterfall was quite enjoyable to see.

Winter, who had been blankly watching it from the road, hardened her expression at Aro’s careless remark. For some reason, she had a bad feeling about it.

“Um, is that senior in the clock tower?”

“Uh oh. “Is that so?”

After hearing that, Winter suddenly started running towards the clock tower.

Arrow, who was perched on Winter’s head, almost fell from the sudden movement, but held on by holding onto Winter’s hair.

“Why, why! Get off me!”

Despite Aro’s embarrassed words, Winter gritted her teeth and ran desperately.

That is a precursor phenomenon. It was a hint of a shitty situation that was about to happen. Winter got worried and moved quickly.

“Ugh. Really!”

I was worried about the clock tower, not Davide. Davide is recognized by everyone as human trash. He was a person whom even professors described as a beast.

It’s a lot better now, but my rough personality hasn’t gone anywhere. And his rough personality did not leave the person who attacked him alone.

“Whoa!”

Kiiing. What followed was a familiar sound. The strange sound of the air being burned with intense heat.

Winter’s face turned pale as he realized what it was. That was something that should never have come out of here.

“Hi!”

Then, a huge thunderbolt erupted from the top of the clock tower. Winter was upset as she saw the top of the clock tower exploding with him.

She was so surprised that she hiccupped. Winter fell over and grabbed her knee.

“… … What is that?”

Aro, who fell together, quickly looked at Winter. Winter was staring blankly at the clock tower.

Aro slowly turned his gaze and saw a huge thunderbolt and a beam of light being blocked and pushed away by it.

“Lightning is beating the light. “It’s a truly beautiful sight.”

The lightning shot up into the sky like a spear, piercing through the fierce beam of light and eventually causing a huge explosion in the sky.

Aro simply admired the lightning and thought it was beautiful.

“Thunderbolt Spike.”

“Lightning Wedge? I like the name. It smells like home.”

Winter muttered softly as she roughly washed her face with one hand. Aro liked the name because it reminded him of a Far Eastern word.

“That’s your special move, senior.”

“Special move?”

“Yes. That’s what I mean by senior’s maximum power.”

Aro’s expression hardened at Winter’s words. Aro knew very well what it meant to be a finishing move.

And Aro knew very well the rare situations in which that ultimate skill could be used.

“So Davide is fighting something? And the enemy is strong enough to take out that thing?”

“… … Maybe.”

Aro looked at the falling pieces of the clock tower.

“Isn’t that expensive?”

“… … “Maybe.”

“hmm.”

There was a word that came to both of their minds: it was done.
