Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Episode 43

Whoa!

Hecktail, who jumped back and glided to a landing, muttered in interest as he brushed off the remaining embers on his body.

“Hey, this fire… … .”

The souls Hecktail had captured, some of them, scream and oxidize in real time.

It was forcibly released from restraint by the ‘fire of purification’ characteristic of Gongsam and attained enlightenment.

“It’s fun. Is this the trump card you have been hiding?”

“… … .”

Although it was clearly a direct hit, there was no sign of taking any major damage. I expected it to some extent, but honestly, it’s a painful situation.

‘It’s such a durable thing even after being attacked by a complete anti-parasitic attack.’

Even if I didn’t like it, I had to realize it again. That Hecktail is an enemy that we can’t deal with at the moment.

“It would be fun to watch them struggle like this, but I guess the previous remarks bothered me.”

shit.

slurp.

Passe.

As Hecktail flicked his fingers lightly, black shards began to appear around the nape of Seo Ji-an’s neck.

It was to activate the curse that had been planted in advance.

Accordingly, I took out an amulet from my arms and filled it with spiritual power.

“For the sake of it.”

Fuwaak!

Whoops.

When I signaled, Gongsami, who had come back, held out a finger and lit the tip of the amulet.

I brought it to Seo Ji-an’s body and recited the intermediate-level Haeju recipe I had prepared.

“The Six Characters Great Ming Mantra.”

Whoops.

blah blah!

parsak.

The Haeju technique with the effect of the fire of purification and the correction of my gold business figure completely broke the curse of Hacktail.

Seeing this, Hecktail stopped and began to let out a low exclamation.

“Six-fold great mantra? It wouldn’t be a curse that could be broken just by such a technique.”

“… … .”

“… heh heh No, I didn’t know about this.”

Hecktail, who burst into madness at what was so enjoyable, eventually lowered the corners of his mouth and spoke again.

“I thought he wanted to be an exorcist, but he must have been someone close to this place.”

“I am only familiar with the low-order magic tricks.”

“Speak nonsense.”

Hecktail, who dismissed my answer in one word, put his hand on the bundle of bandages that had been covering his eyes the whole time, giving him an unbearable expression.

“Rather, I wonder why I haven’t noticed it until now. The scent of karma that is so strong. Of course, it wasn’t built in the usual way.”

“… … .”

“Show me where. The weight of the gold business tied to your body.”

slurp.

Hecktail’s bandages were undone, and soon a strong curse began to invade my body.

I had a rough estimate after seeing the state, but it looks like it was completed.

‘The matter of Balor.’

Hecktail’s original golden technique, named after a god in Celtic mythology.

The fact that he showed it was also in line with the intention that Hecktail would deal with me sincerely from now on.

‘Maybe support is coming soon.’

But can I survive until then?

To be honest, I was skeptical, but now I had no choice but to try.

remorse.

“The Six Characters Great Ming Mantra.”

Whoops.

crispy!

“… Whoa, can you stand the power of Sarn?”

I was able to move my body somehow, but it wasn’t a very convenient story. It was because the damage was clearly accumulating even after the correction of the gold business value and the defense of the Haeju technique.

“The salt lake.”

Fuwaak!

whirling.

[Keying!]

Putting that aside, it probably wouldn’t make any sense to take out the snuggle, and this was all I had at the moment.

“… ha. under. I will help too.”

“No, it’s behind me.”

Seo Ji-an is already in a state where it is difficult to control herself. Moreover, unless there is a way to stop the curse, he cannot stand up to Balor’s case.

‘… Soul burning.’

Hwareuk.

gurgling.

Whoops.

As the sleeping ghosts were burned, the consumed spiritual power was restored in an instant, and I called Gong Sam-i and gave instructions while standing in front of Seo Ji-an.

“A drink of yin-yang and five elements. fire”

Whoops.

Fuhwaah-!

A natural amplification technique that was used in the last battle with the Vaccinator.

Through Gongsami’s flame, the most powerful means of attack I currently have was shot at Hecktail.

Whoops!

tap.

ride on

“This fire is also interesting. Is it similar to the power of the divine beast? You have a pretty precious shikigami.”

The attack hit as it was, and the sound of burning clothes and flesh pierced my ears.

Although there will certainly be some damage, Hecktail analyzed the flames, avoiding them one step late.

It could be said that it was an opportunity that came from the position of an overwhelmingly powerful person.

“But that’s all. Do you have anything more to show?”

After that, I tried to attack using the numbers I had as much as possible, but the result was not much different.

“Whoa. after.”

“Clearly, the nature of the power you use is close to this one, but at the same time, it feels different.”

Hecktail, who made the assessment leisurely, gave a final verdict with a fishy smile.

“… became I wasted more time than I thought. Don’t let it end.”

coo coo.

A huge amount of spiritual power burst out in an instant and crushed my body.

Hecktail, who showed the overwhelming violence that came from the level 65 figure, began to reciting mantras by extracting dozens of souls from the beads of his waist.

“The Solitude of the Blue Mountains, the Recession of the Four Seasons.”

Whoops.

Passionate!

In an instant, the surrounding land became dry and barren, and the soaring spiritual power took the form of a black haze and encroached on Hecktail.

A high-level magic trick of the low-level class. He’s also a pretty strong guy.

“… Yeomho.”

[Keying.]

Following my instructions, Yeomho sent out a wave of thoughts with all her might.

Peeing.

Not Hecktail, but me.

‘It doesn’t work for the other person anyway.’

Rather, it was for this very moment that he summoned Yeom-ho.

In order to be able to withstand the opponent’s attack even a little bit more, to give a hint close to hypnosis to himself.

‘Spirit burning.’

Whoops!

Whoops.

In preparation for the pain that would soon come, I prepared my final magic by burning my soul and taking out all the spiritual power contained in the bari-o-ring.

This is the long-awaited conversion blow.

When I was ready, Hecktail poured out the completed curse as it was.

“If you meet Bi-hyung over there, please say hello.”

Wedge lover!

Pass sass!

“… Burn it!”

Whoa!

Gongsam did all he could to shoot out the flames with the power of purification, but it was still not enough. The fiercely burning flame will soon be consumed by the opponent’s curse.

Paz.

“Water flow!”

sway.

The water barrier created by Seo Ji-an is also immediately eroded by the curse and the procedure itself is shredded.

However, it would have helped to some extent to offset the power. I made up my mind and returned Gongsam and Yeomho to the shadows, ran forward and accepted Hecktail’s curse.

Whoa!

“Han Kang-yoon!”

Seo Ji-an’s urgent cry was heard, and her mind was clouded with great pain.

crisp.

parsak.

In the aftermath of the curse, a hideous magic writhes all over his body, and dead blood begins to drip from his nose and ears.

However, everything goes as planned.

Indeed, it is barely beyond the limit that I can endure.

Touk.

drop.

Even as the blood flowed, I kept my gaze fixed on the opponent and did not let go of my mind.

The correction of financial figures, Gongsami’s purifying fire, Seo Ji-an’s natural magic and my spiritual power that raised it to the limit.

In addition, the power of the survivor trait that enhances survivability in extreme situations, and the last spell I developed.

Converting all of that into numbers, I decided that I would be able to capture this one attack in a narrow way.

‘… … .’

There is only one thing that I am ahead of Hecktail right now, and the number of non-standard money businesses that has reached the highest level.

In that case, of course, there was only a way to use it to get through the situation.

And in the end I won the gamble.

A golden skill of equivalent exchange that replaces as much damage as one’s own with a curse and returns it to the opponent.

After breaking through the curse with all my might, I unleashed a spell that contained Sarn’s power and Hecktail’s curse.

“Mirror of a semicircle!”

Wedge lover!

“Big!”

This time, no matter how hard he tried, Hecktail was not safe.

Pasch.

Paz.

At the traces of the curse that climbed up his body, Hecktail grimaced and began to use the captured souls to drive the curse away.

kuung.

Although he somehow suppressed the curse, it seemed that his strength had been released from one leg as he had suffered considerable blows.

“Uh-huh, huh. This is amazing. Do you think you can withstand that attack? Are you sane?”

Hecktail smirked with excitement and stood up slowly, supporting his trembling legs.

There is no sign of wanting to see the end immediately without taking care of my own well-being.

However, that was it.

In other words, time over.

“… this. It took too much time.”

At the multitude of signs felt on the other side, Hecktail made an expression full of regret as if he did not like it.

slurp.

He took the bandage out of his arms and put it back on his face, pressing down on the robe that was covering his body, leaving me a final message.

“After you finish your work with the Cheongga’s girlfriend, let’s go back to it.”

percussion!

As I watched Hecktail’s back as she left, slowly I too began to lose my mind.

As I fell, what I could see were the exorcists who appeared through the trees and Seo Ji-an approaching me with an unknown expression.

***

When I woke up, a familiar space was welcoming me.

“Here… … .”

A hospital room with a monotonous landscape and lights placed at wide intervals so as not to hurt the eyes.

Apparently, it was a medical facility owned by Seo Ji-ah, who was treating Seo Ji-ha.

I heard the slight breathing sound and looked around, and saw Seo Ji-an sleeping on a chair a little further away.

Also, in the bed next to me, Yoo Ah-in, wrapped in bandages for Haeju-yong all over her body, was watching me as I woke up.

“… You woke up.”

“Looks like he was beaten up quite a bit.”

“It’s a shame that I didn’t fulfill my responsibilities.”

No, Yoo Ah-in looked completely dead.

Perhaps he felt guilty for not protecting Seo Ji-an properly.

“… It was strong. I have never seen such a monster in my life.”

“… … .”

“And you, even against such a monster, eventually protected her.”

When I saw Yoo Ah-in for the first time, I somehow felt sorry for him, so I gave him a word of comfort.

“It all happened because they were alive.”

“… You can’t say that you fought well. It’s true, I can’t help it.”

Yoo Ah-in, who had been scolding herself for a long time, eventually smiled and said to me with a fleeting smile.

“Still, I think it was the best choice for me to bring you along, ignoring the lady’s instructions. I sincerely thank you.”

“… … .”

I don’t know who took the action, but my physical condition is not as bad as I thought.

Yoo Ah-in spoke to me once again, as I was swaying with an unfamiliar feeling.

“At first, I thought he was a writer who didn’t know English.”

“I will.”

“But now, I don’t know any better. What is a young lady to you?”

It wasn’t a particularly hostile word. What was contained there was only pure question.

After a lot of thought, I gave her an answer.

“An indispensable collaborator.”

“I didn’t want such an obvious answer. Well, that’s it.”

Yoo Ah-in, who drooped her tail for a moment, asked another question while dispelling her seriousness.

“What do you think of the lady?”

“A good colleague.”

“… You’re only choosing really knowledgeable answers.”

Yoo Ah-in, who had a dissatisfied expression on her face, asked an original question as if she did not know that she would ever say such a thing.

“Then, how about simply looking at human attractiveness?”

“… … .”

Although Seo Ji-an did not have much importance in the original story in the first place, she was a hot topic for her appearance alone.

Of course, there is no reason not to feel the attraction.

With such honest feelings, I answered Yoo Ah-in’s question.

“I think it’s pretty. One of the best people I’ve ever met.”

Then, out of nowhere, I heard the sound of something falling from within the room.

👌👌👌👌👌

kuung.

It was a thick book lying on the lap of the sleeping Seo Ji-an.
