The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide Chapter 159

Crepin Subjugation Battle (10)

The dagger stuck in Crepin’s left arm splitting his flesh with a crackling sound.

The tip of the dagger that pierced his wrist stopped at the corner of his eye and was trembling.

I gritted my teeth and tried to keep pushing the dagger in with my body weight but the crepin barely held on and swung its tentacles.

– Wow!

I took a defensive stance for a moment but the impact pushed me away and I rolled on the stone floor.

Crepin with a dagger in one hand stood up and chuckled.

When he brushed off his left hand the wound began to heal in an instant but the pain remained and he frowned.

“Usually you can’t imagine that you’re going to die until right before you die.”

Coughing Crepin stood up and picked up the long sword again. And he once again gathered Mebula’s magic power into his grotesquely twisted left hand.

– Whaaaaaa!

Dozens of tentacles pour out again. Just looking at the tentacles with strange lumps of flesh attached here and there made me feel sick.

– Aww!

― Crispy! Kaaaaagh!

However more than half of them were slaughtered and disappeared due to the magic that spread along with Merilda’s cries.

The wind blade used by Merilda is different in scale from ordinary elemental magic. The magic blade extended in all directions devastating the surrounding area and even Crepin’s own body was caught up in the aftermath of the magic power.

– Push! Push shoo!

Several pieces of his flesh fell off and wounds continued to form but Mebula’s magic somehow minimized the impact and allowed the wounds to heal.

However that power cannot be infinite. Crepin has not yet fully accepted Mebula’s magical power.

In the end if you want to manipulate Mabuler’s magic you have to use your own magic as a medium to some extent. Of course the result is overwhelming compared to the magical energy invested but it cannot completely replace his magical power.

Crepin who has fully accepted Mebula’s power is difficult. Therefore it was necessary to win the game quickly.

The moment Crepin tried to take his stance again the dagger stuck in his left arm exploded. Because I wasn’t aware of the explosion caused by the spirit ritual my body stumbled for a moment and that moment gave me the right time to dig in.

– Woe!

As soon as I hit the floor I instantly felt a sense of floating in my body.

Merilda’s wind magic was making my body’s movements lighter. He moved faster than expected narrowed the distance drew out his magic power and returned the dagger.

Crepins also don’t get hit twice. Avoiding Merilda’s rushing feet she floats her body and rises to the sky above the mansion grounds.

His fighting style began to become a little more cautious.

He climbed over the railing and was floating in the air with the moon in the background… You can’t fight him in close combat.

– Whaaaaaa!

Magical power began to gather in his hands again. This is a known attack pattern.

Summon ‘Evil Eye’. It is an attack method that occurs almost at the end of Crepin’s behavior pattern. The fact that it has already been used means that it has acknowledged that the situation is not favorable.

Of course there was no reason to leave it alone. He fired five or six magic arrows and summoned Lacia.

– Baaaaaaa!

The magic arrow aimed into the air exploded and water spread out like a waterfall over the mansion grounds. In that moment Lacia jumped out from between the waterfalls that bloomed due to the ‘water source apparition’ and bit Crepin on the shoulder.

“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Crepin screamed and tried to throw Lacia away.

The wound continues to heal but the pain in the body remains the same. The human mind has limits so it was clear that if it continued to attack it would fail.

Crepin fell with his shoulder bitten by Lacia. Was this sudden attack pattern completely unexpected?

I also ran in the same direction as he fell to the bottom of the mansion.

“I’m chasing you! “You have to finish it clearly!”

[If you do it wrong you will fall to your death! ]

“Take care of it yourself! “You have a lot of magical power left!”

[Please! ]

As I stepped on the railing and launched myself into the sky Merilda’s wind felt around my body.

Merilda’s Spiritual Meal – After floating for a while in the rising air current it soon began to fall again under the force of gravity.

Only the sound of the wind passing by and the sound of collars flapping filled my ears.

At the far end of my field of vision I saw Crepin falling after somehow shaking off Lacia.

– Quang!

He who is still not used to using magical power is trying to somehow bring out the power of Mabler again… It was thrown into the central garden raising dust.

– Woah!

I also received Merilda’s wind magic minimized the force of gravity and rushed towards him.

– Quang! Caw!

It landed on top of the devastated flowerbed of the central garden and not liking the weight plunged the dagger into it again. This time it was the right forearm holding a long sword.

“Kaaaaaaak!”

Crepin seemed to feel even greater pain because he was the one who had not yet been completely imbued with Mebula’s power.

He screams and complains of pain but it’s not over yet.

I took a big leap backwards with my dagger still planted.

What comes into his sight as he lies down will not only be the night sky filled with creepy stars.

A spirit in the shape of a huge wolf jumped down from the rooftop and attacked him swinging its heavy paws.

― Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

The impact was as if an entire container had fallen and crushed it. A normal human would have no choice but to die instantly.

However Crepin who has manifested Mevuller’s magic power boasts an incredibly tenacious vitality.

Of course I thought it couldn’t end here and prepared for further attacks… but… .

―Kugugung Boom!

The ground unable to withstand the heavy impact collapsed.

The ground is already unstable due to numerous tentacles rising up and creating holes. There was a huge laboratory in the basement so it wouldn’t have been surprising if it collapsed right away.

Merilda’s attack seemed to have been the final blow as the entire floor of the central garden collapsed and was sucked into the underground research facility.

―Quagaga River! Kak!

Lacia quickly rushed over to protect my body but she couldn’t stop me from falling down.

Just like that Crepin and I fell into the large hall of the underground research facility.

―Pabang! Kang!

– Whaaaaaa!

The dust rose and the view of the underground facility came into view again. It was the same huge scepter where Arwen was impaled on the great sword.

However the ceiling has completely collapsed so the night sky is clearly visible. It has the shape of a gladiatorial fighting arena that is caved in like the Colosseum.

In the center of the place you can see the figure of a crepin raising its body grotesquely squishing its flesh. She was still alive.

The grotesque flesh had consumed his entire left arm and was now spreading to half of his upper body. As time goes by he is increasingly accepting Mevuller’s magic power.

If you try to manipulate Mabuler’s magic beyond its limits you will lose your reason. Like servants wandering around the mansion.

Crepin has a unique understanding of Mevuller’s magical power as he has been researching it for a long time. Therefore he can handle magic power at a deeper level than others but he is no different from going crazy if he goes beyond the limit.

However even though he was struggling in pain he managed to maintain consciousness.

The sight of him with more than half of his body eaten away by flesh is familiar. Awakening Crepin… It is the semi-final boss that must be faced before cutting down Mevuller in Act 4 of .

In fact subjugating Mebula is closer to a raid and all you have to do is familiarize yourself with the strategy pattern and insert the ‘God Killing Sword’ into the appropriate area. Therefore the difficult awakened crepin was closer to the actual boss.

He uses all kinds of instant-death patterns periodically summons tentacles to attack the back row recovers his own health and resurrects himself several times when he thinks he’s dead… This is a really disgusting boss.

Not only does the visuals look terrible but the boss battle itself takes place in a building full of flesh. Because of this it is a boss that remains a trauma to many players. Difficulty is difficult atmosphere is atmosphere. A terrible enemy in every way.

He stood up with a puff of breath and was no longer in a state where he could be called human.

The grotesquely moving flesh writhed and drew out Mebula’s magical power.

“I didn’t want to exert my strength like this before I went to subdue the imperial castle.”

He once again gathered his magic power into the ‘evil eye’ spread out in the sky.

The moment the magical power is gathered into the evil eye hundreds of difficult-to-evade rays cover the area.

In being hit meant instant death. What is it like in reality?

What is certain is that there is no need to check it directly.

The moment I gathered the magic power from my hand the heavy wolf rose again through the collapsed debris.

Even with that much of an impact I only got a few scratches. High-ranking spirits cannot be easily hurt in any way.

Merilda’s wind enveloped the area and I charged into it to disperse its magical power. However the power of a fully awakened Crepin is enormous.

He gathered his magic power and raised his left arm which was now so ugly that it could not even be called a hand.

“Stop right now! Merylda!”

When I shouted Merilda quickly stopped moving without questioning or doubting. The heavy wolf’s body stopped and dust flew up.

‘Blade of Void’.

It was an instant death technique that gathered magical power and released it for a short period of time exploding the hearts of all living creatures around it.

You can avoid it only by stopping all movements at the timing when he gathers magical power. The problem is gremlins and tentacles.

In you had to fend off a constant stream of small enemies while also understanding and avoiding Crepin’s attack patterns.

A group of gremlins descend from the sky and attack and tentacles rise from the ground to attack. In the meantime I gritted my teeth and stopped moving.

― Hwaaaaaaaaa!

– Crispy! Crispy!

― Kieeeeeek!

After a while all the gremlins in the surrounding area fell vomiting blood. The Blade of the Void is a magic that does not discriminate between enemies and enemies. That’s the good news.

After seeing that I quickly moved my body again and rushed towards the crepin. However sufficient magical power had already been injected into the ‘Evil Eye’.

A lump of flesh floating in the sky. A ray of magical energy was about to pour out from that grotesque piece of flesh with four small eyes.

I’ve dealt with him several times but he’s still extremely picky. I gritted my teeth lowered my posture and thought I would have to stop it somehow.

I tried to raise my body’s magic power and implement a defensive formation but no matter how much I think about it I don’t think I can completely block the light beam.

The moment you try to hide a vital part of your body with the thought of avoiding at least a fatal injury… .

“Aaaahhh!”

A girl jumped down from the sky.

A sudden scream drew my attention in that direction.

The open sky toward the central garden.

Saint Clarice who was running across the central garden looked down at the collapsed ground and threw herself away.

A saint comes down with her robes fluttering against the background of the night sky. Her eyes show a hint of embarrassment but her lips are tightly pressed.

The scene of descending underground under the moonlight seems to be playing slowly.

It looks like an angel arriving on earth but in reality he is just a human who gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to jump.

In his arms he holds tightly a walking stick wrapped in leather cloth. The dangerous appearance made it clear that he would be seriously injured if someone had to accept him.

If a fragile girl like Saint Clarice were to fall from this height she wouldn’t end up broken in one place.

My body reflexively jumped out and quickly took a stance to receive Saint Clarisse. The defensive line was completely scattered.

– Woah!

I kicked up dust and slid towards the saint as if I was going to tackle her and I landed in her arms.

Clarice’s sacred robes flew in the wake and dust rose again.

nice… Ugh.. clack clack! Saint… What the hell is this… !”

Before I could say anything Clarice wrapped her arms around my shoulders and hugged my head tightly then twisted her body around so that her back was facing Mebula.

― Hwaaaaaaaaa!

At that moment numerous rays of light poured out from the ‘evil eye’. The power that devastates the surrounding area as if it would devour the entire world is so enormous that it is difficult to stop it one by one.

However everyone is equal in front of the ‘protection of the Holy Law’ that Saint Clarice wears. The only ones who can kill her are those blessed by Telos who gave her only power.

Clarice held me tightly with her eyes closed and concentrated on the manifestation of the holy law.

It was only after the storm had passed that I realized that I had survived without any scratches thanks to Clarisse’s magic.

“Saint why are you so suddenly… ”

“I believed that senior Ed would accept it. “It’s okay to discuss whether it was dangerous or not later right?!”

Clarisse said that and hugged me tightly. Between our arms was the staff that I had entrusted to Jenica.

He risked his life and jumped from that height to deliver this one thing. Of course just have faith that I will accept it.

It’s not just dangerous it’s reckless. But Clarice didn’t pay any attention to her and spoke while caressing my cheek.

“Senior Ed the place where you were injured is…” ”

Those words did not last until the end.

– Whaaaaaa!

Soon a shock wave rose again centered around Crepin. Rather than a means of attacking with hostility it was closer to a by-product of receiving additional magical power injected from Mevuller.

Therefore Clarice’s divine protection could not exert its full power and Clarice herself fell. He fell off and I supported him from behind but he gritted his teeth as if he was still in shock.

“Ugh… ”

“Saint.”

are you okay.

Clarisse gritted her teeth and stood up looking straight at Crepin. I frowned at her bizarre appearance but the determination in her eyes did not disappear.

The left arm that had been eaten by the flesh became increasingly enlarged and almost no normal skin on the body was present.

The increasingly strange appearance becomes closer to that of a monster.

Crepin bent his body for a while absorbing the magic power and then suddenly turned his gaze towards me.

“You’re still alive.”

While saying that he leaped forward holding a long sword.

Swarms of gremlins pour down from the sky and the rising tentacles still rush at me with the sole intention of tearing my limbs apart.

Merilda’s roar wiped out most of the miscellaneous enemies but Crepin gritted his teeth and endured the aftermath of the magic power.

– Kaang!

I succeeded in dodging the longsword. He hugged the saintess by the shoulders rolled her body around next to her and cut off one of the tentacles near her with the wind blade.

“Kyaaaa!”

Clarice screamed and clung tightly to me.

As I said before the heads of the Rosstaylor family have been baptized into the Telos Church for generations.

I don’t know what it would be like if it were an attack using Mevuller’s power but if he attacks by directly using physical force like that even if he is a saint he is not safe.

This is because the protection of the holy law enshrined by the saint is not effective among the same believers.

“Lacia!”

When I shouted that before I could give any further instructions a lioness made of water appeared and snatched the saintess by her collar.

“Kyaaaa!”

After carrying Clarice as if she had been kidnapped Lacia evacuated to a far-off safe zone.

― Hwieeeeek!

The crepin turned its gaze towards me and twisted its body strangely again.

“Whoa… after… ”

I sat down took a deep breath removed all the leather straps holding the cane and took it out. The ‘Thousand-Year Wooden Staff That Was Hit by Lightning’ engraved with all kinds of spirit rituals was revealed.

It is a magic engineering product that takes the elemental magic that you are already quite familiar with to the extreme and also increases the limit of your sensitivity.

This alone increases combat efficiency incredibly but it may not be enough against a fully awakened Crepin.

So it’s difficult.

I had to make sure to subdue him. To do this there is a need to mobilize additional means.

“It’s a scene that makes me cry. “What kind of staff are you risking your life for?”

Crepin laughed bitterly dripping blood.

“It seems like there was some emotional interaction with the saint. “Whether it was love between opposite sexes or simple friendship there may have been times when you felt fulfilled by a relationship that bloomed with such warmth.”

He continued his story without suppressing his laughter while taking care of his twisted body.

“Unfortunately I Crepin Rosstaylor am far from such things.”

“… ”

“Yes I am ‘pure evil.’”

Crepin raised his sword.

“If you want to reach a higher position you will use and discard everything whether it be family or vassals. If you have to kill someone kill it and if you want to stab someone in the back do whatever it takes. “I don’t rationalize or try to be understood.”

The dirty and fishy laugh even gives me goosebumps.

“That’s who I am as a person. “Do you understand now?”

Saying that Crepin gathered his magic power.

Mebula’s stronger magical power gathers into the ‘evil eye’.

It is best to remove the eye itself but Mebula’s body receives almost no damage unless it is the ‘God Slayer Sword’ technique used by Taily McLore. You can cause damage by hitting a huge amount of magical power like a crazy person but in reality it is no different from pouring water into a pot with a hole.

Since it is a magic that embodies a part of Mebula’s body those eyes cannot effectively inflict damage unless it is a Shinslaughter Sword.

“Hueup.”

I knelt down and hunched over holding my cane tightly.

I was at quite the limit physically. He successfully used Merilda’s spirit ritual several times and also dealt with the middle-level spirits for a long time.

Nevertheless I draw out my magic again and again.

If you have a wand you can draw out magical power more efficiently than now.

During the long time I spent flying into this unknown world I trained and practiced like crazy in the field of elemental arts.

Now isn’t it possible to handle even high-ranking spirits without the help of any magic tools?

It makes no sense to be so exhausted now that I can’t bring out more magical power.

However I have to use even more strength against that ridiculous guy.

I took out the last resort that I had saved in my arms.

Without loosening his right hand’s grip on the staff he holds Glast’s Golden Phoenix Ring tightly in his left hand.

I took a deep breath and then exhaled deeply again.

If you decide to wear a ring you have to get it done in one go.

Once the power of the ring which draws on future magical power is used magical energy cannot be used for a while.

Therefore you should not think about ending it with a half-level attack.

stronger. More definitely.

I must draw on all the sensitivity that can be elicited with this staff and use it even with the magic power granted through the ring to do more than my capabilities.

I closed my eyes and clenched my teeth tightly.

A feeling as if a blood vessel is bursting comes to my bitten lip.

Only after concentrating and concentrating again can you fully feel the amount of magical energy flowing through your body.

It was only after I closed my eyes and concentrated on the sensation of magic that I was able to fully face my emotions.

The head of the family who claims to be pure evil reigns over the night sky with his floating body. The magic power of Mebula that fills the underground laboratory makes even breathing difficult.

I gritted my teeth as I continued to exchange attacks with Crepin.

A person born with the fate of a villain. A monster that burns the world seeks greater power and takes pleasure in doing evil.

After hearing those words I finally realized why I kept clenching my teeth. This was also one of my vices.

“Don’t be a dick.”

The words came out softly.

“Is there such a thing as pure evil in the world?”

Crepin’s expression twisted at the sudden words. I didn’t care and continued talking.

“I’ve been sick of watching bastards like you. “You runaway bastard.”

The magic power flowing through the body is enormous. An unprecedented amount filled the halls of the underground laboratory.

“Do not pretend to be a sophisticated philosopher. “Are you afraid I won’t know that you’re just a coward who ran away because you were scared?”

A swear word that came out without even understanding the English language.

Did he feel uncomfortable that I who had always reacted quietly was suddenly being scolded? Crepin’s expression became even more distorted.

Until the man who shot his first person on the battlefield became a crazy maniac.

It’s as if he rationalizes to himself that he originally enjoyed killing.

It’s just that they portray themselves as pure evil and are unwilling to see the back of their evil deeds. Because he was such a madman to begin with.

Crepin Rosstaylor.

At first he probably became a villain just to survive and save his life in the swamp of dirty power struggles.

From the previous head of the family who was sacrificed to the wife who could not protect her to the daughter who ultimately ruined her life with her own hands to the abandoned vassals to those who killed to protect their positions.

Although his life was stained with blood he probably did not want to bear the weight of death.

“What do you know?”

“I know better than you.”

A vast amount of magical power spewed out with the force of gushing all the way to the sky. After adding so much magical energy I can’t even guess how bad I’ll be in the future.

Anyway it’s more important to hit Crepin’s head right now. It’s time to think about later matters.

That’s why I pulled out my magic again and again.

Anyone who has walked the battlefield knows the weight of death better than anyone else.

From the first officer who took a bullet for me on the battlefield to the bard who was bleeding and lying down in the Glokt coffin.

He endured many deaths and never once tried to turn his eyes away from them. The corpses are lined up neatly and riding on my shoulders.

Whether I died out of necessity whether I died because of my mistake or whether I died arbitrarily. The dead remain as a weight constantly weighing down the spirit.

The tempting whisper to let that weight go into oblivion came to me hundreds of times. Someone seems to be whispering to you that it is good for you to pretend not to see it turn your head away and treat it as if it never happened.

I have never once given in to that temptation.

I still remember all those names.

That’s the crucial difference between you and me.

“I hate bastards like you… I hate it the most… ”

There is no one who does not have a speck of dirt on their hands. Is there anyone who lives their entire life without ever committing a single evil deed?

What is important is only the attitude towards the evil deed.

― Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Eventually the fully manifested summoning ceremony engulfed the surroundings and began to glow.

Heat radiates from the blooming beopjin.

I use both the power of the staff and the ring to the limit to manifest a spirit beyond my capabilities into the world.

Flames sprang up like Mount Tai.

A wall of flames has arrived at the site of the central mansion.

The ‘highest-ranking spirit’ is that there is only one entity of each element.

No matter how extreme I tried I couldn’t summon it completely… If it’s part of that it’s possible.

The highest-ranking fire spirit in history books who is said to have burned down an entire mountain range during the mythical era. ‘Theorpis’.

The head popped out through the blazing flames. The heat rising from its wide-open maw has the power to burn everything in the world equally.

The ‘Thousand-Year Wooden Staff Striked by Lightning’ has the ability to implement all spirit rituals regardless of affinity even if the spirits are not contracted.

Highest Spirit Ceremony – ‘Fire Dragon’s Protection’.

It was a terrifying power that burned away all the ‘magic power’ in the area.
