A Reincarnated Professor at the Constellation Academy

One wish (10)

The final stage of mind control, 「conquest」.

As I said before, the conquest stage is the stage where I take over the power of the monsters beyond perfect control.

As long as I fully understand beings, infiltrating their mental networks and ‘downloading’ their powers.

If ‘Imae Mang-ryang’ through ‘domination’, the next step, is to summon the shadows of consciousness remaining in the network, this is to call their power itself into my body.

There is no limit or loss to the number of powers downloaded in the conquest stage, so ‘all’ powers of the target can be fully exerted.

…In life, I defeated Diablo through this power.

It was a splendid achievement that mobilized not only the power of Diablo, which was identified after long research, but also the power of all the dragons that had been analyzed.

And to the present, I also used Skadi’s power through the conquest stage some time ago.

Skadi and I have been living side by side for a long time, which gave me enough time to figure out the nature of her powers, and it’s because she uses the sympathetic nervous system I created.

‘sympathetic. That’s the first step.’

It was also my ultimate goal to take all of their mentally connected information, not the old way of analyzing and grasping it in a fist-fighting way.

I can’t summon the shadows because I don’t have enough data yet, but as long as I borrow their power… it’s possible.

“······!”

The smell of the battlefield stings my nose.

The scent of blood floating in the air.

The stinging smoke of bullets.

A deafening noise.

Between the stimuli that come in the moment of time, my eyes chase the enemy in front of me.

bang! Quaang!

A red flash flashed from the emperor’s revolver, and he quickly fled his body and escaped from the trail.

The ground is overturned in the place where the small bullet passed.

The earth is torn to shreds, the air is torn, and even the existence of the previously enormous demonic energy is crumbled and disappears.

Each step was a disaster.

A single bullet he fired was no different from a natural disaster in itself.

“How long are you going to avoid it?”

His eyes follow me, followed by a burst of powerful psychic waves.

The past form of mental control he created.

An old form of “search” was launched to determine my intentions.

Keyiing——!!

My “search” responded to his “search”.

attack intent.

plan.

number of cases.

The mental waves activated to read each other’s intentions crossed several futures, canceling each other out and disappearing.

Faaang!!

The pair annihilation of the dense mental wave led to a powerful shock wave.

Through the winds of violently swirling shockwaves, my muzzle was pointed at the emperor, thrusting my teeth into it.

The red magic power is condensed and squeezed.

Even the surrounding ground split apart at the jolt of enormous power, and soon the instant the ball hit the detonator——an explosion-like burst of energy shot out in a straight line.

「Dragon Breath」

The Dragon Clan’s trick and special move.

Diablo’s full power was fired forward, devouring everything in its line of fire.

The dark blue burning trail crossed the momentary gap and lodged itself in the emperor’s chest.

As he quickly raised his arm to block it, the power condensed in the bullet exploded.

──────!!

light and explosion.

The power of the condensed breath exploded and flashes engulfed all directions, followed by a shock wave that swept through the forest.

The hot air scorched the bushes, and the trees swayed precariously as they lay on their sides.

In the midst of the wind and dust, I lowered my posture by pointing to the ground and withstood the high heat and shock comparable to a nuclear storm with my bare body.

aaa

‘I’m glad it’s far away.’

It’s a shame that he moved the place while fighting in advance, and if he did something wrong, everyone including Skadi would have been swept away by the shock wave.

Relieved by some foresight, he raised his revolver and took a stance as the shockwave passed.

Wow!!

After breaking through the storm and the dust, the emperor rushed this way.

It looked like soot had spread all over his body, but he seemed to have survived that kind of explosion safely.

Also, this level of firepower is still not enough.

“Suck…!”

Legs crossed with stomped legs.

The air exploded due to the force of each collision, making a roar.

The ground I stepped on cracked, cracking as if an earthquake had occurred with every step I took.

When I bent my upper body to avoid the horizontally descending kick, he abruptly aimed the gun at me.

In less than a second, the muzzle aimed at his head was slashed away with his hand, and the gunshot pierced his ears.

One kick and one bullet fired contained the power of a lethal force.

A gale raged from the wind pressure of leg power, and a bullet exploded the ground and air like a bomb.

Since each other’s “search” was offset at the end of the confrontation, we had to predict the next attack purely by looking at each other’s movements.

Ironically, the battle of those who saw the end of the mental world was nothing but their own eyes to believe.

“You’re holding up well.”

“·······.”

“How long can I last?”

“I will hold on until you die.”

Since I downloaded all the powers of all dragons, including Diablo, my strength and speed are temporarily on par with the emperor.

After a fierce battle in which each action changed the terrain, we widened our distance and aimed our guns again.

bang! bang!

The trigger was pulled, and bullets collided in the air with a flash of light at the same time.

The trajectories shot by predicting each other interlocked in the air.

Bullets that exploded as they interlocked embroidered the air like starlight.

As shrapnel and smoke obscured the view, the Emperor’s mental attack broke through once again.

Kaang-!!

“···Quit.”

Responded to the emperor’s mental attack with the second stage, “Disruption”.

By downloading the power of the ghosts, and using their curses to reduce and receive attacks, it was a manageable level.

The counterbalanced mental attack dissipated, and the body was pushed back by the shock wave that followed.

“Cool…!”

I vomited blood with a hot feeling.

The appearance of internal organs damaged by the accumulated magic waves.

‘I can’t last long.’

The accumulation of magic is also the magic, but the side effects of the conquest stage itself were not easy.

This ability is an ability that allows me to use power that I did not originally have.

Of course, there is no choice but to go to the body, and it is impossible to use it for a long time.

In his lifetime, he had only spent 10 minutes fighting Diablo and burning all his strength.

That’s why I couldn’t avoid the final blow and had a hole in my chest.

Now, the time has increased considerably compared to then, but that does not mean that the side effects have been overcome.

Because it just gave me a little more time.

“Is that strange power also a form of mind control?”

He backed off in a mocking tone.

Perhaps it is because he does not know the stage of conquest.

“Yes. It’s a power you don’t have.”

Unlike other abilities created to kill demons, this is a power created to protect my comrades.

In other words, it is the fundamental starting point from which the emperor and Yujin Kang diverge.

“That power. It seems strong, but the burden on the body is beyond imagination.”

While wiping the blood from his mouth, he spoke to me.

“Are you using it knowing that it’s the power to kill you?”

“How can you not know?”

I died once because of this in the first place.

I couldn’t know

“Before I die, I just need to kill you first.”

Suddenly, he got up and ran forward.

Balthazar’s power, [Soul Spirit], was expressed by putting it into a circle that swings a gun.

“”The bridle of the power that binds and binds””

The chains created by wrapping around the emperor tightly bound his body.

“A number that is not equal…”

It was a bondage containing the power of the legionnaire, but he easily broke the chain just by invoking demonia.

But it took a split second, and that was enough for me.

「Brain phone」

Skadi’s magic.

I passed through his body with the technique of converting my body into electric current and moving quickly, and I aimed my gun at the back of his head as if sliding.

“”Solaris”…!”

One shot of conversion, the emperor, who quickly turned around, responded by slashing my hand.

“I see everything.”

And then, the red bullets fired rip off his shoulder.

Blood spurts, and an excruciating pain strikes.

Through the blood that obscured my vision, I aimed the other revolver.

“… I have two guns, you asshole.”

Kwaaang-!!

A spear of light refined with holy power pierced the emperor’s chest.

Originally, he was aiming for the head, but the trajectory was distorted by the demonic energy he raised in an instant.

Of course, there was no change in the vital point, and for the first time he was hit and retreated.

“Keuugh…!”

He backed away, dripping black blood, and I stumbled a couple of steps apart.

“Kuluk kuluk…”

Every time he coughed, he vomited blood in succession.

Currently, with the strength of a single body, I am demonstrating power comparable to that of the emperor.

There couldn’t have been any trouble.

If it continues like this, there could be really permanent damage, but even so, I couldn’t miss this opportunity.

What is the most effective way to fight a being who has risen to the throne with a mortal body?

That is, aiming for the moment they descended to the ground.

The laws of forces acting on the outer and inner dimensions are different.

In the distant outer dimension, constellations become unknowns who generously use all the power of photography, but this is not the case in the inner dimension where mortals live.

Because those who descended here cannot be free from the laws of the inner dimension, they are also downgraded to mortals like us.

That’s why this moment when the emperor stepped on the ground was the only chance to face him in a mortal body.

As of yet, I can’t send him to the outer dimension.

bang! Quaang!

The workshop comes and goes, and wounds are engraved on each other’s bodies.

The emperor who found the power of the main body is strong, but I, who deals with the [conquest] stage, did not succumb to him.

Because the method that ignores safety is that powerful.

Finally, the end of the continuous battle was seen, and the last bullets aimed at each other were fired.

Fain! Kwadeuk!

The emperor was hit in the head, and I was hit in the side and bounced backwards.

“Damn it… you damn worm bastard…”

“·······.”

He clutched at his torn head, dripping dark blood.

And I, blood poured from my torn back.

…the wound is deep.

It was so deep that it was fortunate that the intestines did not spill out.

I struggled to stop the affected area from bleeding like a broken faucet with my hand.

“Heo-eok… heo-eok…”

Even if you try to get your body up, there is no strength.

The emperor came and stood in front of me, who was struggling to get up on one knee.

“I tried, but your strength is not enough to defeat me.”

“·······.”

“Now stop accepting it. This is reality.”

···reality.

I laughed at the words I was talking about.

reality? is it real?

When have I ever cared about that?

The fact that I lost my family to a monster that came out of nowhere.

The fact that he killed Maria who had been eaten by demonic magic.

It was all real, and it was the past that had been overcome.

There was never a time when I accepted and stopped just because it was reality.

So, it is the same this time.

I don’t stop here…

“You-“

“”Shut up””

His words were halted by the mental waves that were emitted as if chewing and erecting.

Hive Mind.

It is the result of the [Erosion] that temporarily borrowed people’s calculation ability and fired it.

Kiyiyin-

A circle was wound on the revolver.

From dark blue and platinum to circles resembling the Milky Way.

The bullet that was realized by borrowing the power of Laniakea is the [Star Fire].

Embracing Estelle’s power to slay demons, the sudden strike fired hit the emperor and exploded.

His body was pushed away with the heat of the explosion, and at the same time the revolver, which could not withstand the force, burst into pieces.

──────…

My ears are ringing with tinnitus.

The broken revolver’s shards stuck in his hand, and he lost so much blood that he couldn’t even feel it.

And the emperor, revealed in the fading flames, was unfortunately damaged but healthy.

“It was a good move, but it’s a little short of killing me.”

“Ugh… kuh…”

You have to stand up.

This is not the time to sit still.

“It’s really tiring to go through that personality that doesn’t give up.”

Doesn’t answer.

I whipped both legs that were about to come loose.

“The source of my will was vengeance, but you will not.”

As if seeking an answer, he asks.

“Why are you standing up like that? Why are you burning your will so hard? To protect those fools?”

He turned his head and looked behind him.

There, there are people who fight with all their might against giant monsters.

“Isn’t it foolish? Those monsters, like that, are the ones who will stand up again with just one gesture from me.”

“·······.”

“Are you saying you’re worth sacrificing so much to idiots who struggle in such a meaningless fight?”

I got up on my own two legs.

Sealing up the wound with magical power and holding back the staggering body with force.

I could stand right in front of him.

“… you will never know.”

I looked at him with dead eyes.

“It’s not just for the simple, banal reason of protecting someone.”

I was someone’s colleague and someone’s teacher.

It was a beacon for those who were together, and a milestone that should be an example for others.

A person who studies the future and illuminates a brighter future.

I am the professor of this Helios.

“Because I am someone’s colleague…someone’s benefactor, and someone’s teacher.”

so that.

“I can stand up forever.”

He raised his arm and aimed the remaining gun at him.

“…all with dying bodies? That’s funny.”

And, he also pointed a gun at him.

“I’ve changed my mind. You just die here.”

Chuck- and.

His revolver caught a bullet.

“Those beliefs, repeat them only in hell.”

muzzle facing.

finger on the trigger.

The momentary movement they were about to fire at each other, in that moment.

A light descended.

“Well···?”

The emperor looked back at the low presence of the floor.

And—

“Get your hands off the professor.”

Estelle’s fist pierced his face.

bang!

The flame’s shimmering fist blew the emperor away and burned the area.

Leaving behind him, who had been buried in the golden flames, Estelle ran this way.

“professor!!”

Looking at her with difficulty, I saw blue eyes full of concern.

She supported me and held my hand.

Maybe it was because her hands were as cold as the blood that escaped, but her hands were very warm.

“… Estelle. You came at good timing.”

“Of course. I’m the professor’s disciple.”

“Yeah…you’ve always been great.”

I raised my head and looked around.

People are fighting a giant monster and continuing a fierce battle.

Amidst the chaos, the light across the sky pulsated greatly.

The world line is connected.

“Estel.”

“Yes, Professor.”

“Will you help me?”

Perhaps, the first request.

She smiled without hesitation at all.

“It’s an honor.”

She agreed and raised her holy power one last time.

Perhaps, the power that will be the last for me.

The hand that met her shone along with the pulsating traces in the sky.
