I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

220 – Power Increase – 1

Until now, there has never been a time when the rescue request machine did not work in a dungeon. To that extent, Jin Si-yeon’s opinion could certainly be seen as valid.

“Johan. Are you okay?”

Yoo Cho-ah approached me, who had been silent since entering the dungeon. She held my hand and looked worried.

“why?”

“No… because you don’t look good.”

is it? I think you were managing your facial expressions well.

“Uhuhu~! It’s difficult to look down on your lover!”

Yoo Cho-ah held up her index finger and moved it, clinging to me. Then he hugged me tightly and spoke in a kind tone.

“Don’t worry~. Your sister will be by your side~.”

“It’s black.”

“Ugh~!”

I threw a little honey balm on Yoo Cho-ah’s head. Then she playfully cried and held her head.

“Ohhohoho!! It’s a relief to see you two doing that!! Come on! Let’s stop joking around and get on with it!”

“Well, there’s nothing I can do if I keep staying here.”

Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon, who had said that, came next to me. Yoo Cho-ah became even more upset when she saw the two of them with their left and right arms naturally linked together.

“why!”

“Hohohohoho!! You hugged me earlier!”

“Well, it should be fair.”

“uuu!! Then I’m here!!”

Yu Choa jumped up and clung to my back. I like the feel of two large, squishy things touching my back. The arm that naturally wraps around my neck and the breath that touches my ear are hot.

“Ugh~! Are you okay? Huh? Huh?”

“It’s okay, but… it seems like it’s reaching?”

“Yes. I’m trying to reach it~!”

Yu Choa hugged me even more and even wrapped her legs around my waist, and spoke in a sly tone.

After hearing that, Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon also hugged my arms even more.

I can’t believe you’re coming out like this so there’s nothing to worry about…

I’m afraid of the future.

I need to exercise hard.

“Then let’s proceed.”

Because I can’t keep doing this. I walked, trying to ignore the good sensations I felt in my arms and back. How far did it travel like that?

I saw a stone statue similar to the one I saw at the ruins where I met Azazel.

-Kugugu palace…!!

The stone statue moves. The two wings spread and the sword in his hand was lifted.

As the stone statue in the shape of an angel revealed its fighting spirit towards us, the beautiful women next to and behind me quickly fell and finished preparing for battle.

“Let’s get started!!”

“John! Please!”

“Go!!”

I immediately used multiple reinforcement. Elizabeth, who will take on the role of tank, is given Diamond Bull Ingot and Sprint, and Jin Si-yeon is given the remaining attack-related buffs. And after applying increased magic power to Yu Choa, I picked up the bow of Gehenna.

“Will your attack be effective?”

“Because Gehenna’s bow is hellfire. Enemies of that type will tense up and try to defend themselves. Of course, the damage won’t be much, but it will hinder their movement a little.”

-Sea profit!!

When the arrow of black flame flew towards him, the statue swung its sword to block it. It is a clear sign of inconvenience. Jin Si-yeon, who was staring at it, smiled and held the black moon backwards.

“This is good, Johan. Can I leave the timing to you?”

“of course!”

“Then let’s begin!!”

Elizabeth runs out. The moment the angel’s stone statue swung its sword to block the golden sword strike, the black moon wrapped in Jin Si-yeon’s black energy cut down the angel’s stone statue. A large wound appeared on the statue’s body, but it soon disappeared with a flash of brilliant light.

“How to?!”

“continue!!”

The way to catch that statue is simple. All you have to do is just keep attacking.

There is a limit to recovery, so after a certain amount of time, you will not be able to recover.

I continued to fire hellfire arrows using the Bow of Gehenna, and each time, the statue swung its sword as if it was wary of my arrows and destroyed them.

“Haaap!!”

“Yaaap!!”

And Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon did not miss the gap that it created. Their attacks continue to produce brilliant light.

hmm. After all, we’ve been fighting together for a long time, so getting it together isn’t a task.

“I’m going too!!”

The wings move. The stone statue that used it to block Jin Si-yeon and Elizabeth’s attack was about to swing its sword, but Yoo Cho-ah’s magic bullet hit the statue directly. While the guy who seemed to have been hit stumbled, I fired another arrow.

-Wooo!!

The hellfire arrow hit the statue’s body for the first time. At the same time, black flames surround the statue’s body. hmm. As expected, the bow of Gehenna. It’s expensive.

“What is that?!”

“It’s called hellfire. That flame will go out quickly and won’t cause much damage, so keep attacking!”

“all right!!”

Nothing much happened after that. Not only did they know how to attack, but all of the people here could be said to be first-class heroes.

In the end, the statue, which had not received a single proper attack, began to fall apart, no longer emitting brilliant light.

“Whew. That wasn’t that difficult!”

“Hmm. I think it’s easier than the guy I fought last time.”

“It’s actually easy. That angel statue is just a regular angel statue.”

Unlike the statue we fought where Azazel was.

“What’s the difference?”

“To put it simply, it’s about level F.”

“Oh. I see. Still, I think he was pretty strong for an F class.”

“Still, it’s a stone statue with the power of an angel, so we can’t ignore it.”

Yu Choa nodded slightly. Meanwhile, Jin Si-yeon and Elizabeth, who were looking at the place where the statue collapsed, shook their heads as if they were disappointed.

This means that nothing has come out separately. But originally, nothing came out here.

-Kugugu palace…!!

As the remains of the statue turned gray and disappeared, a hole was created in the floor. It’s a pretty deep staircase. In response to a similar reaction as when she met Azazel, Elizabeth said as she held up the light she had taken out of her bag.

“Let’s go.”

As I went down the deep stairs, I saw a stone gate. While Yoo Cho-ah was checking the stone gate just in case, Jin Si-yeon had her arms crossed and a nervous expression on her face.

“What’s wrong?”

“Hmm. No. I was wondering who might be in there. Could it be an angel?”

“Maybe so.”

“It feels strange because it seems a little different from when I was Azazel.”

“yes?”

To Elizabeth, who looked puzzled, Jin Si-yeon kept her mouth shut for a moment and then spoke calmly.

“You said Azazel fell on his own to save humanity from the apocalypse.”

“Yes?”

“Then what about the angel that might be in here?”

We knew of those who used dungeons to connect to other dimensions.

“Baphomet was also intervening in the world through the Black Dungeon. He used the same method, but it’s hard to feel safe because he’s an angel… Even though Azazel took it upon himself to fight the apocalypse…”

“……”

“It’s just my mood, so don’t worry too much about it.”

Jin Si-yeon shook her head. At that time, Yoo Cho-ah, who was checking the door, shouted.

“It’s confirmed!!”

“Then I’ll open it!”

Elizabeth grabbed the stone door and pushed it with all her might. The stone gate opened after some resistance. There was a woman sitting inside, just as we expected.

These are pure white wings.

The woman with pure white wings that seemed to emphasize that she was an angel rather than wings of light like Azazel was smiling calmly at us.

“Welcome. We’ve been waiting for you.”

“Who are you?”

“I am Lasiel… I am an angel who came down from heaven. You must have come here after hearing my voice, right?”

The angel, Lasiel, got up from his seat and slowly walked towards us. As an angel with dark black hair and black eyes approached, Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon glared at her as if wary, but Lasiel just smiled calmly.

“Everyone. The time of testing is coming.”

“Are you talking about the apocalypse?”

“That’s right. Three tests ordained by God. The time of testing is coming that will decide whether you will live your life or whether your world will fall into the hands of the devil.”

“…So. Then, in 1999 and 2012…”

“Yes. That was also a test.”

“…It’s too much. To do such things out of nowhere…”

“This can also be said to be a trial given to us by God. How can we know His great will?”

Lasiel did not lose his smile despite Jin Si-yeon’s grumbling.

So a moment of silence. Lasiel, who was waiting for us to speak, let out a small sigh and stretched out his hand in the air.

“But it’s not that I don’t know your feelings. Even during the first trial, it was difficult for you to handle it, so Azazel sacrificed himself. Of course, as a result, the resistance of the demons became stronger…”

He shook his head and sighed, putting his hand out in the air.

“If you don’t think you’re ready for the end, there are ways to delay it.”

“what is that?”

What was held in Lasiel’s hand was a dagger. She looked at the dagger containing sacred light and held it out to Yu Choa.

“The one who is nothing, the one who can become anything. That person offers his/her strength to God.”

“That means…”

Yu Choa’s face stiffened slightly.

okay. That is the way to postpone the end.

The aptitude of Zero, the power to become anything without being anything.

Yoo Cho-ah sacrifices all of the strength she has worked hard to develop to become an ordinary person.

By doing so, the final test is postponed for a short period of time.

That was the normal ending of Hero Academia.

That’s why I said.

“You don’t have to.”

“…Is that so? You are the recipient of Azazel’s power.”

I nodded, facing the smile on Lasiel’s lips.

The ending of this world must lead to the true ending.

Rather than just fearing the approaching apocalypse and ignoring it and putting it off until later, we must defeat the apocalypse and overcome the danger of the apocalypse.

Therefore, there was no need for Yoo Cho-ah, who had worked hard so far, to make sacrifices that would yield no results.
