“Haa, haa, haa… .”

-Thud.

Immediately after finishing the battle with Benari, who cuts off each limb.

My body, completely without strength in my legs, collapsed on the floor.

It was a problem that I consumed a lot of magic power in battle, but what made me more tired was that I received signals from Ethan three times in a row.

Just a few minutes ago, I recalled the three vibrations that had been ringing in my stomach, and a small question formed in my head.

‘Wasn’t there really a need to send the last signal…?’

Anyway, at the end, all that was left was the left leg, so I wonder if there was a reason to turn on three vibrators to send me signals.

As a result, it is said that the match was definitely made thanks to Ethan sending the signal one more time, but it seems like we need to think a little more seriously about whether it was really necessary to turn it on one more time… .

“Release, are you okay?!”

“… … .”

‘… Still, I won anyway.’

Let’s punish that bastard later. Now is not the time to complain or grumble anyway.

Because soon the final pattern of the undead couple will begin.

“Kelton! Kelton!”

“Ah, Benari… .”

“Kelton, no! Kelton!”

“I’m so glad you’re my other half… .”

“AAAHHH!!”

Benari, who was left as a floating ghost with only his head left, and Kelton, who had his limbs completely cut off and slowly closed his eyes.

As soon as the last pattern ended, all the banshees and ghouls that had been wandering around disappeared or fell, and all that remained was the screams full of resentment from the former Banshee Queen.

“Is it over?”

“… Ethan, that line is a spell to revive the enemy. ”

“Huh?”

“Forgive me, I can’t forgive you!! Aaaah …

… Well, since Phase 2 was going to happen anyway, it would be a bit much to say that it was revived specifically because of Ethan this time.

Finally, the Banshee Queen, who had gathered the remains of Kelton’s body with all her remaining strength, slowly raised her body, and the two undead merged into one, as if Kelton’s body had been inhabited by Venari’s soul.

“… Together forever.”

-Wheww!!

“Coming, everyone get hurt!”

“Agnes Youngae, I will protect you!!”

“Gyaaah!! Karaham!! Liria!!”

Benari continues his last struggle pattern by holding onto the dead Kelton’s body with his last remaining spiritual power.

As expected from the final struggle pattern, the speed at which he swung his sword was no joke. If you let your guard down, your upper and lower body will be split apart.

Fortunately, more than half of the members were physically strong enough to carry at least one person and run around, so no one was cut down by the blind sword.

‘In the original, this second phase was also quite annoying.’

Although it didn’t have as many troublesome gimmicks as Phase 1, the undead couple bosses were also quite difficult in Phase 2.

Since Benari had absorbed Kelton’s corpse, it was set to become completely immune to physical and magical attacks, so it was virtually impossible for us to attempt an attack and take it down.

All you can do is dodge, dodge, and dodge the attacks until the woman gets tired.

After moving her body so hard, at some point Benari gets tired and stops swinging for a moment, and Serista realizes that she is the only one who can properly attack in this situation, and she awakens as a ‘true saint’. This was the original Serista awakening episode.

… One difference from the original is that it has already been several years since Serista awakened as a true saint.

“… Please purify me with the holy light… !”

“Gyaaah!!”

The second phase of Benari and Kelton ended in an absurdly absurd way, as Serista recited the original’s final spell before the final struggle pattern was even finished.

-Pass, kuung!

“… Good job, Serista.”

“Hoo, yeah, yeah… .”

With just one well-raised saint, the undead monsters are practically rat poison. Although it was a bit of a sudden battle, I was truly thankful that it ended without any casualties or deaths.

… Although I was a little angry because Edan did something strange in the middle, I knew that it was necessary in the end, so I was able to understand it and get over it somehow.

‘Wait a minute, if I think about it, it doesn’t end here… .’

One of the Four Heavenly Kings. The shaman Richie Overus.

Considering that the guy had entered the academy, it wasn’t the time to be so carefree. Maybe he’s still building his own undead army somewhere on the Isle of Knowledge.

If that guy were to dig up the student cemetery of the Luminor Academy or the grave of the first president of the university, Ratel, it would be the end.

Even without that, this member, who is already exhausted from the battle just now, may or may not be able to catch Lich Obelus, and if someone like the Undead Sword Master Archmage is attached to him as a servant, then… .

“… I see, it looks like you guys are finished too.”

“Father… Professor Harold?”

The moment he was about to tell Geumbyeoljo Segi that he needed to find Richie Oberus, two middle-aged men suddenly appeared from behind him and threw something at him.

It was Swordmaster Harold, the vice-professor of fencing, and the current head of the academy, the great wizard Delon Prime. … In Harold’s hand was something familiar, wearing an old cloak.

“Yeah, Sae-ah… Release student. Did you participate in the battle too?”

“Yes… .It just so happened… .”

“I clearly told you to take care of yourself, but you really don’t listen.”

“I’m sorry… .”

“Ethan, I told you that you need to protect Lilith properly at times like this.”

“I’m sorry, Father.”

“Ah, no… . Even if Aedan had stopped me, I probably wouldn’t have listened… . I, I’m the type of person who can’t back out when I have to fight… .”

After becoming Ethan’s wife, Harold was really difficult to deal with in many ways. It was better than before, when he used to swing his sword along with other people’s swords, saying it was for the sake of improving his swordsmanship skills.

I understand that he doesn’t want to give Amaedan the same pain he went through, but… even considering that, I think he’s being overprotective.

“Now that you are Eris’s mother, don’t do anything dangerous. I know that Lilith is a capable magician, but as Edan’s wife, she should put her own body first… .”

“Shouldn’t you stop now, Harold? Are you going to call the kids over and lecture them for an hour like you used to? Anyway, you’ve always been a problem because you talk too much nonsense. You don’t talk about anything nutritious, and you just keep repeating the same old things… .”

“It’s none of your business, Delond. Don’t meddle in other people’s family affairs.”

“Then say what you have to say first and then nag me. I came here to talk about the guy in your hand first.”

“… Yeah. The student who took the exam, oh, he’s not a student anymore. Anyway, take it. ”

Harold threw the rags in his hand at the sergeant major as if he were throwing something like a load.

As someone who remembers seeing that rag-like robe in the original, I honestly couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

In the original, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Lichioverus, whose battle pattern took almost an hour to figure out, was already a corpse.

“As the warrior said, he was hiding in the tomb of the first president of the university. If you hadn’t told me in advance, I would have been in big trouble. I would have had to fight my childhood teacher with magic. ”

“I also don’t want to fight that guy with a sword again. Even though his body is nothing but bones, it doesn’t seem like he’s weakened at all.”

“Thanks to you, we almost prevented the Isle of Knowledge from becoming a den of the undead. You deserve to be called the Hero of Prophecy.”

“Thank you, Dean Delon.”

… Yes, if you think about it logically, even if they are the Four Heavenly Kings, there is no way they could win if a Sword Master and a Great Magician attacked together.

Oberus is a master of necromancy, and his tenacity in reviving a near-infinite army of undead makes him strong, but unlike his original home, the Isle of Knowledge does not have many materials for him to use as an army.

Of course, if we had succeeded in resurrecting the first president, Ratel, as the Dean had said, it would have been possible to turn this island itself into a natural fortress filled with the undead. The problem was that in the process of getting that first step started, we would have to face Harold and Delond with our bare hands.

It was a rather absurd end for one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but honestly, it was also the most believable end compared to the ones who died so far. Unlike Noctis and Berthus, who were dealt with at the level of students, this one was killed by people who really deserved to die.

‘… As a result, I ended up getting involved in killing three of the Four Heavenly Kings.’

… Now, the only thing left is the Demon King of the Four Dragons. I have no intention of entering the Demon King’s territory or the Demon King’s castle even after I die and wake up, so the warrior party will take care of the rest.

By the way, at this speed, I might be able to see the ending much faster than in the original game.
