Is this the end? After running for dear life, Arthur arrived in front of the last door of the dungeon and took a deep breath.

“Now is the final ordeal.”

However, the little boy next to him told Arthur the cruel truth. That means there is still something left.

Arthur, who heard that voice, raised his head and glared at the little boy, but the little boy just crossed his arms and made a grave expression.

“You should know this if you came all the way here, right? This place is a dungeon. Then what is waiting at the end.”

What is at the end of the dungeon? There is a dungeon owner. Is it the same here?

“…Damn. In times like this, can’t you ignore the procedures even just a little bit!?”

“Be sure to repeat what I said earlier… Get in quickly! Right now!”

After hearing the child’s urgent voice, Arthur suppressed his heart that felt like it was about to explode and turned his head behind him.

The thick, black darkness was taking over the dungeon at a rapid pace like rushing waves.

Shit. Was it just a brief pause? Thinking that he would be eaten by the darkness if he continued like this, Arthur quickly reached into the boss room and asked one last question before entering.

“I’m just asking, just in case, what’s in this!”

“Your nightmare will be waiting for you! Don’t collapse! That’s it!”

Arthur entered the last part of the dungeon, leaving behind his earnest voice, and laughed when he saw the scene in the boss room.

The inside had an appearance that did not match the harsh appearance of the dungeon at all.

The meadows are showing their vitality as if spring has arrived.

The blue sky with sparse clouds is beautiful as if it symbolizes the word refreshing.

And the woman smiling in front of me is smiling, wearing clothes as vibrant as the scenery around her.

“Welcome. Arthur.”

His nightmare greets him with a teacup.

*

The feeling of the hairs on the skin standing up.

A chill down my spine.

An instinctive warning echoing in my head.

Everything speaks to me.

The current Luca is very dangerous.

The answer I would give there was simple.

Why are you saying such an obvious thing? Anyone can see that it looks dangerous! Even if I took a five-year-old child with me, he would start crying right away when he saw that!

“Shall we start lightly?”

I think about it in my head from the moment Luca’s feet are taken off.

How to block a great sword striking from above. It looks like a simple movement from top to bottom, but if you look at the movements of the muscles in the hands and arms and Luca’s steps, it must be a trap.

Is he aiming for the moment when I’m scared and stiff and then smack him to the side? I read the opponent’s strategy and moved my shield accordingly.

Luca’s movements did not exceed my expectations. I just pretended to hit it from top to bottom and watched it afterwards.

The timing of holding out the shield is also accurate.

Since the parry will be successful, the impact won’t be that strong.

Quang!

The moment the shield collides with the sword, a loud noise like a bomb exploding fills my ears, and at the same time, a tingling pain goes down my arm.

“Really. Your shield skills are amazing.”

I bite my lip while listening to Luca’s leisurely words. Is it this much of a shock even though the parrying was successful?

Not only has there been a change in appearance and abilities, but it seems that his physical abilities have also been strengthened.

“Let’s keep going.”

Luca’s movements, as he was swinging the heavy greatsword, were very clean. Like someone who has used a great sword for a long time.

‘It’s worth holding on to.’

However, the impact from his sword was sufficiently bearable.

It’s threatening, but that’s it. It’s not at the level of Lashana Benedick.

Then you can stop it.

The fact that I was used to dealing with great swords was also effective.

It’s a weapon that appears quite often when sparring with the knights of Aln.

It narrows the distance so that long swings cannot be made and the length of the weapon becomes a hindrance.

Continuing to thwart the other person’s intention to increase distance.

While moving based on the battle logic developed through countless sparring, Luca’s whole body is suddenly stained with darkness.

I stopped for a moment at the phenomenon I was seeing for the first time, and quickly raised my shield when I saw the ax blade sticking out through the darkness.

“…big!”

A blow is struck to cut the enemy in half with a shield, sending a huge shock to the entire body.

I clenched my teeth to withstand the shock, felt the fishy taste flowing from my lips, and faced Luca’s bent eyes.

“Are you no longer being picky? If you lose momentum already, it’s in trouble…”

What cut off Luca’s voice was Frey’s surprise attack next to him. As she watched the situation, she flew in like the wind and swung her sword, aiming precisely at the neck.

Luca, who noticed me too late because he was concentrating on me, stepped back with half of his head cut off.

“It has become more difficult to hold on to the opposite sex. This is difficult.”

It was a fatal wound that would have already killed an ordinary human being, but Luca held on to his wounds with a calm smile.

And the moment Luca’s hand fell, his neck returned to its original state.

“What is that? Isn’t it amazing?”

I look at Luca, who is smiling while listening to Frey’s calm voice.

His appearance was different from before.

It’s not just that his armament has changed, but everything about Luca from head to toe has changed to enable him to wield a crude weapon called an axe.

And looking at the way he turned his fatal wound into nothing, we can guess what kind of evil god’s powers the current Luca has been given.

The power of the void.

The evil spirit who controls this academy borrowed the power of Agra and shared his power with Luca.

Tsk. It’s annoying.

There are few people who can utilize the power of the void as well as Luca.

That crazy guy who tried his hand at all kinds of things with the intention of becoming a craftsman changes all kinds of strategies on the spot.

Argh! really. Arthur, what on earth is this bastard doing!?

How long do you plan on falling asleep?!

Are you really going to pretend to lose your mind until everything is over?

If this is real, I will never forgive you! Arthur!

I will bring your character down to the ground so that you will never be able to build it up again!

“Young-ae. It seems like you have an idea of what I can do.”

“What are you talking about?♡ That you’re a dirty idiot who can’t do anything on his own?♡ That you’re a piece of trash who sold his soul just to win over one girl?♡”

When he deliberately provokes Luca by making a giggling sound, his hands become tense.

I raised my shield as I saw Luca charging in, covered in darkness, swinging a blunt weapon bigger than my head.

Another loud noise. A shock that goes through your entire body. Luca’s eyes were filled with the determination to crush me.

“Lady Aln. I’m asking just in case, but do you think change will only be here?”

When I did not reply and only responded with a smile, Luca fluttered his lips in an attack filled with his anger.

“The power of the evil god has spread throughout this barrier. Your loved ones will also be facing the scene of hell.”

…

“I regret not being able to hear your close friends screaming. If you overcome that ordeal, you can truly become a star.”

“He’s so upset because he wants to be criticized♡ He wants to be acknowledged that he’s a major player?♡”

When I let out an annoyed voice, Luca’s eyes widen. My head heated up a little when I saw him, but instead of speaking out, I swung my mace.

Although I really didn’t want to admit it, Luca’s story was likely true.

Agra, how is it possible that this fucking bastard was only manipulating me?

Surely his intervention would have had an impact outside.

Shit. In order to monitor the situation above, we have to shake off this perverted bastard Luca.

“How do you feel about the opposing positions? Do you have a fever?”

The crazy guy knows that I’m in a hurry and is trying to delay it.

He tries to provoke somehow and injure himself with Frey’s surprise attack, but everything is covered up by the power of the void.

Ouch! shit!

Is there some way?!

Is there no answer!?

think! you idiot!

Why can’t I come up with anything at times like this when I confidently say that Soul Academy is rotten!

“Do you have time to think about other things?”

After receiving Luca’s attack again, the blood in my neck rose, and suddenly I felt a slight sense of discomfort in the power Luca was wielding.

The power this thing wields is different from the simple power of the void.

The power of Agra is mixed on top of it.

If you think about it carefully, the fact that this guy uses the power of the void in the first place is strange.

How can someone who has not offered anything to the evil god of the void use the power of the void?

…uh?

for a moment.

If you use this well.

My eyes widened at the idea that suddenly occurred to me, and I desperately held on to it.

Is it possible.

It’s quite possible.

When I reached the end of my thoughts, I unconsciously pulled up the corners of my lips.

*

If you ask who the strongest person on the current continent is, everyone will give a different answer.

This is inevitable because each person has different values and strengths.

However, if you ask what the strongest species on the continent is, everyone in the world will give the same answer.

dragon.

Huge wings that seem to cover the sky.

Claws that pierce the mythical metal as easily as if they were digging into the surface of a lake.

Scales that make even lava feel warm. A tremendous amount of magical power that would make even the great wizards kneel, and a flame that would burn everything in the world.

The privilege of the dragon race is something that other creatures can only obtain by dedicating their entire lives to it with amazing talent.

There would be no one who would deny that the dragon species is the strongest race.

“The pure white master sent down his fangs!”

Yuden’s eyes tighten under Sado’s bright young voice.

The dragon itself is a terrible disaster when it has finished growing, but the dragon comes in a state strengthened by the power of the void.

I’m going crazy. That’s not something an individual can handle.

“…Sword Saint. Could that be a hallucination?”

“No. Holy woman. Don’t you feel it too? The mighty power contained within.”

A being with as much power as me cannot be a hallucination. Even if it was a hallucination, if it had that much energy, it would be more scary than the real thing.

When Yuden spoke firmly, Fabi kept her mouth shut.

“Lady Patran. The magic circle is.”

“…I’m sorry.”

Yuden turned his head and laughed when he saw the magic circle dyed black.

Did the darkness fall just a moment ago have an effect there as well?

What on earth did the damned brat from the Aln family have planned? under. I’m really going to turn around.

“Run away. Two minutes.”

“…Yes?”

“There is a limit to what I can handle on my own.”

Even after assuming the position of sword saint, Yuden defeated many powerful enemies. Among them, there were several who had dragon blood.

That’s why Yuden thought he couldn’t handle it.

A simple adult would have done something.

But that guy has been strengthened by the power of the void. Soon, when the realm of divinity disappears, we will have to deal with the followers of the Void along with that guy.

In the process, we will be diminished and it is clear that they will only become stronger, so how can we defeat them?

In that case, it would be better for me to be left alone.

“You can’t do that! Sword Saint!”

“That’s right! We will go until the end!”

“If I have time to talk nonsense, I’ll get out of there quickly! Right now!”

“Khaha! What a tear-jerking sight!”

Where had the impatience from just now gone? That was when the Void Apostle let out a maniacal laugh. Yuden’s sharp senses caught the slightest change.

A scene where a very small part of the energy that had enveloped the dragon just moments ago was flowing down there.
