I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

231 – All-out war – 1

Whether Elizabeth gets Excalibur or Cheon Soo-ho gets Elixir, the academic calendar continues.

Therefore, due to academic schedule differences, we came to the research institute for external training.

It is an external training similar to what we did before. This time too, I, Soo-ho Cheon, and Cho-ah Yoo formed a group and settled down in the research lab.

“Huh? How come your face looks so much better?”

“Is that so?”

As Yoo Cho-ah said, Cheon Soo-ho’s face looked much better than before.

It’s worth it. Because I achieved what I wanted so much.

When I saw Hye-jeong a few days ago in Jeju Island, where she went at Cheon Soo-ho’s invitation, she was in perfect health.

However, the unfortunate thing was that even though she was completely cured, she said she would not become a hero.

I thought he could become a great hero because of his aptitude and high magical power.

But being a hero means you can’t do something if you don’t want to, so I couldn’t say anything.

“It’s a shame. I also wanted to enjoy my academy life in a more pink way.”

As Cheon Soo-ho, who had become sullen, lowered his head, Yoo Cho-ah grinned. And as if it was completely natural, he hugged my arm.

“Ayu~. What does our pretty girl eat to be this pretty? Come here. I’ll give you a pat on the butt.”

I wondered if this was tea-bagging, but seeing Cheon Soo-ho frown, I think it was tea-bagging.

“Don’t be like that. The baby will cry.”

A man with dark circles sipping coffee while leaning against the laboratory window.

Shin Hae-rang placed a chocolate pie on Cheon Soo-ho’s head. When he saw Cheon Soo-ho munching on the chocolate pie as if it were his enemy, he chuckled and put the candy in his mouth.

“Hey. Don’t you think it would be nice to have a lover or a wife by your side all the time? That’s all for once.”

“Eh. It’s okay for me to stay on.”

“There is no more time to be alone. Time to be alone.”

He slowly shook his head and looked around. Then, as if relieved, he sighed and put his hands in his pockets. And then he throws the chocolate he took out from there.

“Ugh!”

“Yay~! It’s chocolate!!”

Three chocolates flew in the air. Yu Choa saw that, her eyes sparkling and she stretched out her hand.

“You’re now in class A, so why are you so innocent? Don’t react like that to just one cookie.”

Cheon Soo-ho, an A-class hero who snatched three chocolates out of the air with quick movements and put them in his pocket, said without changing his facial expression.

oh my god. A guy who got three chocolates can say something like that.

Does conscience not exist in this world?

“Did you eat the most snacks so far?”

As expected, he is our senior. After attacking Cheon Soo-ho by accurately stating the truth, he gave chocolate to Yoo Cho-ah and me and finished drinking coffee.

“I got a call. They say Anyang Research Institute has been attacked.”

“Anyang Research Institute? That’s…”

“It’s a weapons development laboratory directly under the Association. They say the Hero Association was making new equipment when it was attacked.”

“So there are no attacks here?”

The reason we came to this laboratory was because we received information that the Blade of Dawn could attack this laboratory.

It is said that among the equipment being developed at this laboratory recently, there is a special equipment.

I heard that when it is completed, it will be a great help in organizing dungeons and monsters.

And of course, it will be of great help when fighting villains.

From the villain’s perspective, of course he has to stop it. Because it gives heroes the power to attack themselves.

“This is the problem.”

Shin Hae-rang showed the terminal. When I looked at the image that emerged as a hologram, I saw that it was a battle scene.

“What is this…?”

There was a villain where Cheon Soo-ho pointed. After fighting with the heroes for a while, I was pushed back, took a fatal blow and fell to the floor. In general, it would end there. But he was different.

– flaw. Hehehe… Uhehehe!!”

The low laughter grows louder. Then, slowly raise your body with your arms wide open. And so.

“…Inverted cross?”

“Yes. Inverted cross.”

Stand upside down with your head on the floor and your arms outstretched.

While the heroes in the hologram were tired of the bizarre appearance, something began to flow out of the villain’s body.

It was a dark, ugly gray aura.

– Ugh, ugh!!

The gray energy begins to attack the heroes.

The villain’s laughter, which was still standing in the reversed state, continued to become more bizarre. In the end, the heroes all fell, unable to handle the gray energy.

Shin Hae-rang, Yoo Cho-ah, and Cheon Su-ho, as well as Shin Hae-rang, were unable to say anything due to that formidable force. That’s because all the heroes that appeared in the hologram were A-rank.

“…Those people… were defeated that easily?”

“Well… I’m tired from the fight before. The problem is that gray energy. They say that the moment you touch that gray energy, you lose your strength. Anyway, I caught a villain who used that power and found out…”

“Did you see it?”

“That’s what he said. That’s the power of the end. If you enter the Blade of Dawn and create more than a certain amount of chaos, you can get points, and through those points, you can receive power.”

“…..”

The power of the end. In the end, those words came out.

okay. That gray light is the power of the end.

The demons behind the Blade of Dawn share the power borrowed from the Dragon of the End.

The more that power is used, the sooner the dragon of the end will appear in the world.

Of course, even if it were, it would be an incomplete existence without a prostitute.

In any case, the end times were already approaching.

They must catch Yuchoa before that in order to achieve the end they want.

But now Yoo Cho-ah has reached the A level, and the strength of the people around her is no small amount.

As a result, the villains of the Blade of Dawn can no longer relax and use such power, prepared to create an imperfect dragon of the end.

“Are there any weaknesses to the power of the apocalypse?”

Yoo Cho-ah spoke with a serious expression, but Shin Hae-rang just shook his head.

“We are conducting research at the research institute, but… it is not easy.”

“Wouldn’t it be possible to stop it with divine power?”

“If you look at other videos, a priest was also seriously injured.”

Everyone seems to be doing research, but they can’t find the answer.

okay. It’s natural. That thing has no weaknesses. You just have to do your best to avoid or block them and fight them.

Because of that damn balance, I ended up applying a balance patch during the first free DLC, and it was only then that I was able to compete.

But now this world is a world based on the original.

The balance patch has not been applied, so dealing with the power of the apocalypse will not be easy.

“Are they going to come here…”

“I’m worried about whether Elizabeth and Siyeon are okay.”

Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon were assigned to different areas of this laboratory. It was when Yoo Cho-ah muttered briefly, worried about where they were.

-Wheeeeeeee!!!

Shin Hae-rang hurriedly went inside when he heard the alarm sound that signaled an attack. We followed him in and checked the camera. I was able to confirm that there were quite a few villains around the lab.

“…It’s not just the villain. That’s…”

Dust rising from afar.

A huge monster with the trunk of an elephant and the body of a bear was running towards us.

“…Invincible?!”

Invincible.

An S-class monster that consumes iron as its staple food and has a hard body that cannot be destroyed when fully grown.

Fortunately, that size is that of a not fully grown one. To that extent, it could be said to be in an indestructible state where it could be killed by fire.

However, even in that state, it could not be denied that it was a top-level A-level monster. Anyway, he is immune to all attacks except fire.

However, Bulgaris is a gentle monster, so unless there is a serious attack, it just ignores it and sleeps or eats only iron…

“Those b*stards. They dragged you here on purpose.”

There were black marks left here and there on the Bulgar’s body. In other words, the villains attacked Bulgsal with fire, made him angry, and then dragged him here on purpose.

“You used your brains well, you b*stards.”

This is a research lab. There are many golems or dummies created to deal with villains. Is that it? The exterior walls of the research institute and each facility have a significant number of steel parts.

In other words, the story was that it was a place that could become a target of death.

It was just as Cheon Soo-ho said. By causing the Bulgars to go on a rampage near the lab, they create a gap and get what they want.

This is quite a headache for those who have to protect it.

“We have to stop Bulgasal from running rampant. What should we do?”

“We should leave that to other heroes.”

We couldn’t deal with Bulsal. So let’s leave that to the heroes dispatched by the association.

“What about you?!”

“If we stay here, there will be more damage. Stay inside, put up a barrier, and call in a dummy.”

“Okay. Ah! And this!”

Shin Hae-rang, who was trying to go inside, threw a bag. It was a new rapid treatment ampoule.

Since there are no healers among those who came to practice this time, this restorative medicine will be of great help.

“Thank you! Let’s go!!”

Together with Cheon Soo-ho and Yoo Cho-ah, we headed toward the entrance of the research institute. The Bulgar was rampaging to the north of the laboratory, pounding on the exterior wall and eating the iron attached to it, as if trying to enter the laboratory at any moment.

“John!”

“What’s the situation?! Others have gone north now! And this way…”

Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon, who had come here from somewhere else, shouted urgently, but I couldn’t pay attention to that.

-Quaaang!!

The door gets smashed. And dozens of people pouring in.

It was between them.

A human being in the shape of an inverted cross, no. Those who gave their souls to the apocalypse.

Among those who brought them in, a man with numerous scars on his face, who appeared to be the leader, walked out smiling.

“Oh my~! Who is this? Isn’t she our vessel lady!!”

“…Ha. Who is it? I don’t know the name of a guy like you.”

“Hahaha!! Okay, let me introduce myself first. I am an executive of the Blade of Dawn. My name is Bolid. Please take care of me, our vessel lady.”

“It’s a bowl and a bowl. If you want to take Choa with us, you’ll have to step over me first, right?”

I smiled and walked away, and Bolid waved his hand while laughing at me. At the same time, gray energy bursts out as if pouring out.

As I faced the apocalyptic power that only those who sold their souls could use, I bared my teeth and smiled.

That power of the end is very powerful in the original.

okay. In the original, that is.

After the DLC is applied.

“What a soul without any beliefs!”

In other words, if there is a buffer, it is useless power in any case!

– Taaa!!

When we snap our fingers, light settles into our bodies.

The identity of that light is the most powerful buff that can be learned when applying the DLC.

And it is currently the only skill in the world that can block the power of the apocalypse.

It was the belief of the soul.
