chapter 26
26 – Main Episode (2) Illustration of Lisa.
Quite a lot of quest messages have appeared so far.
However, it has never been so grandiose.
‘Is it because it’s the final episode of Act 1?’
Certainly, compared to the episodes that have appeared so far, the scale is different.
The two demons who appeared this time.
In the case of Jack, his own strength isn’t that great.
However, his ability is none other than brainwashing.
As a result, it is not difficult at all when you think about controlling the artificial monsters around you.
‘It’s a good ability to terrorize.’
In addition, he attacked Sherry’s trauma and brainwashed her as well.
‘Considering that I even strengthened my abilities.’
When I thought of Sherry, I unknowingly frowned.
At that time.
“School, professors, are you okay?”
Kanya next to me asked with a trembling voice.
Well, thinking of Maggie in the waiting room, it’s natural to be so worried.
Isn’t it different from the energy I’ve felt so far?
But.
“You don’t have to worry. They must be academy professors for nothing.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
No matter how much the King is a Demon King military officer, these are Edin Academy professors.
Aren’t they also monsters who slaughtered the demons on the front lines?
Thus, it is absurd for King to win against all the professors.
‘Maybe I’ll just hold on.’
Anyway, all we have to do, as extras, is to wait for the main character to solve this problem on his own.
“We will quietly wait for the professor to solve the problem.”
After that, we quickly waited for this case to end.
***
Same time.
The professors were startled by the sudden appearance of King.
I never thought that demons would appear in the academy test center, not anywhere else.
“There are some guys who are quite familiar.”
King scans the professors and narrows his eyes.
A narrow-eyed assassin called Dale among the demons.
Illya, a master of archery.
Silva is called a human zombie.
There are so many beings active on the front line that there is no end to explaining one by one.
‘It must be fun after a long time.’
At that time when the King shuddered with joy.
-Whoa!
Dale suddenly appeared from behind.
King dodged his attack by bending down.
At the same time.
– Breaking Bad!
I tried to counterattack by turning my body once.
However, at some point, he appeared in front of the professors.
“Sorry. To fail the first surprise attack like this.”
“Well, it wasn’t bad. If it had been another demon, he would have died in that blow.”
“Huh. You have plenty of room. Even you, it would be impossible to deal with everyone here.”
“You don’t have to worry. After all, you are not my target.”
At that moment, the professors had doubts.
-Kyaaagh!
-Kieheek!
Artificial demons in the forest screamed while emitting demonic energy.
Professors are shocked at the unexpected situation.
Dale opened his mouth as he saw an artificial monster running amok in the forest.
“It looks like there are other colleagues.”
“Didn’t I tell you? The target is not you.”
“Professor Ilya.”
Dale quickly called Ilya.
Then, as she pointed her bow at her king, she answered.
“Why are you calling me?”
“I think we should inform the students of the emergency right now and the professor should lead them.”
At those words, Illya’s eyebrows twitched.
In my heart, I want her to stay here too.
However, now she is a professor, not a soldier.
Therefore, the safety of the students comes first.
“Okay. We will evacuate the students as soon as possible.”
She nods her head with her spleen face.
That’s when she was about to leave her waiting room.
“I was expecting you guys to move like that.”
As she said that, King snapped her fingers.
At the same time.
-Ugh!
A black curtain was erected around the waiting room.
Seeing that, Illya’s expression turned grim.
“Do not disturb!”
She concentrates her mana into her bow.
Then, she makes arrows and shoots them at the tent.
“?!”
Contrary to expectations, the curtain was perfectly fine, let alone scratched.
Other professors also attack to break the curtain.
However, sure enough, the curtain installed by King was not even scratched.
Dale’s eyes narrowed even more as he watched the situation.
‘No matter how much you are an author, it would be impossible to withstand the professors’ attacks.’
As he pauses to question, King opens his mouth wide.
Then, he speaks in a voice that is excited about the world.
“The installed tent is a separate item given by the Demon King. It’s impossible to break it with just you guys.”
Hearing that, Dale’s doubts were resolved at once.
Even though he is weaker than the heroes of the beginning, he is a demon king who can compete with them to some extent.
If it is an object of such a person, it would of course be impossible for them to destroy it on their own.
“Then let’s play with me now.”
With those words, he spits out demonic energy.
Dale thought to himself as he saw the king in front of him.
‘I must hope that the students will solve the situation outside.’
Recalling Baran, Dale also released his mana with full force.
***
After the main episode started, about 20 minutes passed.
30 Minutes is not even half of the lecture time at most.
However, even though only 20 minutes had passed, the forest went wild.
-Kieheek!
“Go away! f*ck!”
A situation where an artificial monster in the forest is running out of control due to Jack.
Fortunately, is it because artificial monsters aren’t that strong?
No student died yet.
‘Whoa. I should stop using it.’
For a while, I looked at the island with my mind’s eye to see how things turned out.
I wondered if the butterfly effect had happened, but fortunately it wasn’t.
If this goes on, the case will be resolved on its own.
“Can I just stay like this?”
Then Kanya asked in a melancholy voice with her legs together beside her.
Anyway, the incident happened, but I guess it’s a bit like staying still.
‘Hmm. For a moment.’
If you think about it, isn’t it just a matter of not touching the original work anyway?
The sand golem is already down.
Now all that’s left is Jack and the middle boss, Sherry.
If only these two solve the problem, it’s no different than the end.
‘Current Luden’s party will attack sufficiently unless there is a variable.’
In other words, even if you kill miscellaneous mobs, nothing will happen.
‘If I do this well, I’ll be happy?’
Killing artificial monsters does not increase experience points.
Because they are beings created by humans with magic.
As a result, monsters are not treated in the game.
‘It’s different now.’
Due to Jack’s brainwashing, demonic energy was created in the guys’ bodies.
Thus, it should be seen that there is nothing different from normal monsters.
No, on the contrary, since it is no different from Jack’s family, it should be considered that it gives more experience.
‘Is this honey?’
Organizing her thoughts, I shifted her gaze to her.
Then Kanya asked, startled.
“Why, why are you staring at me like that?”
“Miss Kanya. What are you doing to stay still?”
“Yes? Yes, of course…”
“Then let us move now.”
When I said that, Kanya stood up as if she had been waiting for this moment.
Seeing how they reacted, it seems that they wanted to step out.
‘The potential will suffice.’
With that thought in mind, the creation of experience points began.
***
About 30 minutes passed after we moved.
I knew I would encounter countless monsters.
However, contrary to expectations, I didn’t find many monsters.
“There are fewer monsters than I thought.”
As if I wasn’t the only one who thought so, Kanya also reacted in a puzzled way.
– Disciple!
At that time, Miroel flew towards us from far away.
I turned her head to her.
Then, after examining her surroundings, she answered my question.
-As I thought, demons are now lined up around the demons.
Is it like that?
It seems Jack has unleashed monsters around him in case something happens.
So it makes sense that there are no monsters in the forest.
‘When I saw it with my mind’s eye, I didn’t know it well.’
I think it’s because I haven’t been able to properly use my mind’s eye because my level is still low.
Thinking of that, I checked the status window in front of me.

But this time I did 3 up. Think positively.
I received less EXP when I caught it with Kanya, but it is an undeniable fact that I leveled up by eating me.
This is a good enough achievement.
Of course, it’s a bit different that the monsters gathered around Jack than in the original work.
‘No matter how many artificial monsters there are, they’re useless in front of Lillia, so it doesn’t matter.’
A time when you organize your thoughts and be vigilant like Kanya.
-Kyaaa!
A very familiar scream came from my ear.
We quickly ran to where we heard screams.
Now then.
‘What is it? Why is he here?’
Lisa, who was supposed to attack like Luden, was being attacked by a flower plant, an artificial monster.
Lisa tied to countless green stalks.
It’s quite embarrassing because it’s a scene like watching tentacles, but it’s not like this.
You have to save her now.
-Suddenly!
As if I wasn’t the only one who thought so, Kanya cuts off her stem with a dagger.
Soon, I shot an arrow right into the center of the flower.
-Fu-wook!
At that moment, the one pierced by the arrow collapsed.
No matter how much he became a monster, he was prepared for the sake of the students.
A single blow is enough to bring him down.
“Ms. Lisa. Are you okay?”
“Yes, yes…!”
At his question, Lisa nodded and pulled down her skirt.
It seems that he thought that his underwear was visible because of the tentacles earlier.
‘Why are you so shy when you know you’re blind?’
Anyway, this isn’t the time to think about things like this.
I have to ask what the situation is like right now.
That’s because Lisa, who should be by the main character’s side, is here.
Just when I was about to ask her what happened.
“It’s a big deal, Mr. Baran! Sherry is running out of control!”
Lisa struggles with his arms and makes a fuss about him.
Judging by her expression, she seems to have had an unexpected variable.
