chapter 203
203 – Finally – 3
Fortunately, Max and Ki Ki-yeol said they would participate in this attack. With this, eight people were decided to go to the ruins where Azazel was.
I immediately informed Choah Yoo, and after a while, she responded that she had sent the list to Oh Won-gu.
Now the die is cast.
In Hero Academia, the ruins where Azazel is located are called Angel Ruins and are not much different from regular ruins with a total of three mid-bosses and a boss.
However, the bosses that appear in the ruins are guardians who follow the angel’s will, so dealing with them is quite a pain.
In particular, some mid-bosses can use magic or skills that completely nullify certain attribute attacks, so if you select the wrong personnel, you could be wiped out.
However, except for Yoo Cho-ah, the people going this time are all physical attack type. Most of the people can beat them up without any elemental attacks, so you should be able to attack them without any major problems.
The Fire attribute of my Bow of Gehenna is… Well, even without the attribute, it doesn’t take much damage with my attack power, so it’s meaningless.
“Whoa…”
How long have I been waiting for this moment?
When I meet Azazel, I will also break away from this mediocre healing characteristic and change it to my own characteristic, ‘Strengthening.’
I’m really looking forward to it. What will happen?

When I checked the status window, I saw that this was the standard for a character that focused only on mental strength! It seemed to indicate that. Mental strength is high enough to be almost twice that of other stats.
It really can’t be a buffer-specific stat. If only aptitude was changed to strengthening, it would be a perfect buffer.
-Tiriring!!
It was a time when I was continuing my thoughts by looking at my stats and skills. I was startled by the sudden ringing sound of the terminal and checked it.
It was Yuchoa.
– hello?! John! it’s me!
“Yes why?”
– I received a call from Captain Oh Won-gu. When are you going?
When? The sooner the better. However, if you think about the heroes who will apply to the Academy, it is difficult to set the time as you wish. I told her to consult with Chairman Ryu Sena, then hung up and sat cross-legged.
ruler. Now all that’s left is to break through the ruins.
Let’s do our best.
A few days after sending the list.
According to the academic schedule, we gathered in front of the gate for outside classes.
As I was watching other cadets leave the academy and go through the gate, instructor Kim Yeon-ha called.
“Elizabeth. Jin Si-yeon, Kim Yo-han. Max. Follow me.”
Yu Cho-ah, Cheon Soo-ho, Ki Ki-yeol, and Serenia were already gathered at the place where she was called.
It looks like they are all armed and ready to go into battle.
“I received a call from the association. They said you guys are going to another ruin, right?”
“Yes. Is that today?”
“Yes. They told me to bring you all separately. Follow me.”
Anyway, since I am skipping class, it looks like I need to be guided by an instructor. When I led her through the gate and arrived at the association, Captain Oh Won-gu came out and was waiting.
“Is everything ready?”
The question is whether you have prepared the necessary consumables and other items for working in the ruins. In the game, the question was asked to check again, so I checked the things I had brought.
“Did you bring the house in the picture?”
“Yes! I borrowed it from my grandfather!”
Elizabeth smiled brightly and took out a scroll from her bag. It is better to have it as the difficulty of the attack varies depending on whether it is present or not when attacking the ruins. As expected, he would never lend it to anyone else… but he is a great old man who loves his granddaughter so much.
“If you give it to me, Breath… what will you do?”
“Grandfather said he wouldn’t raid ruins or dungeons until I return.”
Now, Old Man Breath was concentrating on research and data collection. As such, it was also true that there would be no need to use this scroll for the time being.
“That’s a good thing. If you didn’t have it, I thought I’d lend you mine.”
Because Captain Oh Won-gu also had a scroll. Anyway, other people said they had all the necessary consumables and equipment, so there didn’t seem to be any problems.
“Then let’s leave right away. Instructor Kim Yeon-ha. I will take charge of the cadets.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
Kim Yeon-ha greeted us lightly and looked around at us. Then he calmly walked over and placed his hand on Elizabeth’s shoulder.
“I’m counting on you.”
“Ohhohohoho!! Yes! Just trust me!!”
“…Why to Elizabeth?!”
“He’s the senior.”
“Keuuk.”
Our second chair Cheon Soo-ho clutched his chest. After patting his struggling back, I spoke to Elizabeth, who naturally became the leader.
“It must be difficult. Being a leader.”
“Ohhohoho!! Then I will have you next to me as a staff member! Let me assist you!”
“Uh huh?! Wasn’t I the leader?”
“I’m the chief! Ohhohoho!!”
Although happiness does not come in the order of grades, I guess I couldn’t ignore the position of senior.
Anyway, everything is ready, so we can leave right away.
“Then let’s go.”
Captain Oh Won-gu, who was watching us chatting, blurted out one word. With that alone, the light atmosphere suddenly became serious. He seemed to like that and smiled as he walked to the gate, and we followed him.
“The ruins we discovered are located in the basement of the Holy Angel Castle, not far from the Vatican.”
The Holy Angel Castle in Rome, Italy. Relics are generally related to the area. It seems like a pretty appropriate place for a ruin where an angel fell from the sky to save humanity.
“If it was near the Vatican, there would have been great security… The villains were able to get in.”
“There was an entrance to the ruins in a secret catacomb in the basement of Seongcheonsa Castle. There was a place where you could enter the catacombs from the outside. It was an unexpected place.”
With a wry smile, he explained simply.
It is said that there was a secret entrance that could be entered through the sewer across the Seongcheonsa Bridge, where Seongcheonsa Castle is located. Traces of villains were found in a place that was discovered by chance, and as they followed the traces, they discovered a secret catacomb connected to Seongcheonsa Castle.
“How did they know there?”
Captain Oh Won-gu could not answer Jin Si-yeon’s question. Because nothing special has been revealed yet.
“The important thing is that we have to attack there first. Probably by tomorrow, the villains will notice our movements and attack the academy or wherever.”
“okay…”
“Once you enter, the outside will be guarded by the Association and the Vatican. So don’t worry, just focus on conquering the ruins. Also, the Academy said that the Student Council will properly block the Association heroes, so don’t worry.”
“yes.”
When I arrived at Seongcheonsa Castle by car, I saw quite a few people. Soldiers were stationed in places that were used as museums or historical sites, and heroes of the Vatican and the Association also occupied their seats.
After passing through them and entering the large castle, I went down the hidden passage and the underground catacombs appeared with a musty smell.
“It looks perfect for getting lost.”
Ki Ki-yeol, with his arms crossed, muttered lowly. The inside of the catacombs looked quite complicated for him to say that.
“Okay. If you’re not careful, you might get lost, so follow me carefully.”
Under his guidance, we moved around the catacombs for a while. When moving through a complicated path, such as going down to the basement, going up again, and going down to the basement again. From afar, I felt a strange energy touch my body.
“This…”
“I guess everyone felt that way, right? We have to be more careful from here on out. The ruins themselves may be trying to prevent outsiders from approaching, but they make you lose your way.”
In some special cases, there were ruins that blocked access to even attempt to attack them. The same was true for the ruins where Azazel was located. Perhaps because of the strange energy, it is not easy to get your bearings.
However, perhaps thanks to all the preparations we had already made, we were able to go inside without any problems and found the entrance to the huge ruins.
“Oh. It’s Brother Kim Yohan.”
“Oh?! Bishop Peter!”
Bishop Peter, who had conquered the black dungeon together last time, was leading the other priests in the Vatican. He smiled warmly when he saw us, looked around the party, and then nodded.
“I believe that you all will be able to break through the ruins without any problems. I pray to the Lord that you will succeed. And Sister Serenia.”
“yes!!”
“I hope you can help others.”
“Yes!! I understand! Bishop!”
You answer very well. Bishop Peter seemed to like her bright appearance and gestured to those standing at the entrance to the ruins, and the guards there opened the way.
“I hope everyone takes care of their health.”
After receiving his blessing, we went straight into the ruins. The surrounding scenery changes with a slight dizzy feeling.
The people who had been there before disappeared and what was revealed was a passage similar to a catacomb.
“What should I do now?”
“Let’s move forward for now.”
As I continued walking down the hallway, a large cavity appeared. Three tightly closed doors and a huge stone slab were waiting for us.
Among them, I approached the stone slab and placed my hand on it.
-Wooow…!!
Light emits from the cavity along with a low vibrating sound. As light fills the eight patterns carved on the wall one by one, the first stone door opens.
ruler. It starts now.
