I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

204 – Finally – 4

The inside of the ruins wasn’t much different from what I remembered. However, the traps were more numerous and complicated than I knew.

“There’s a trap over there!!”

But, as expected from our toddlers, they were good at spotting the trap.

She, who has a high sensitivity to magic, immediately used magic to activate the trap, and when she activated and disarmed the trap, which poured out both blades and acid, she grinned.

“Come on! Let’s go!”

We continued on, disarming the trap and defeating the golem that resembled an angel statue that appeared. And when I got to the end of the first passage, I could see the boss.

“That’s…”

It was a stone statue with pure white wings. The statue, which was similar to the one we had encountered so far, but was larger and had much larger wings, seemed to sense us and slowly began to raise its body.

“It’s a stone statue of Biruts.”

“Biroots?”

“Yes. Angels who are in charge of harmony between good and evil…”

-Ugh!!

“…A very strong angel. But it probably doesn’t have the same power as an angel.”

Although she was saying that, there was a lot of tension in Serenia’s voice.

Even if it is only a statue of an angel and not a real angel, beings originally created similarly are bound to imitate its power to some extent.

Therefore, we nervously aimed our weapons at the stone statue of Biruts, who slowly drew out his stone sword.

“Be careful. Beeroots is immune to elemental attacks.”

“Then it has nothing to do with us!!”

“and…”

-Cow!!!

The stone statue of Biruts struck the floor with his stone sword. At the same time, the spreading gentle energy swept us over with intensity.

“Ugh… this.”

“It is one of the angelic powers. The physical strength of those who do not possess divine power continues to decline.”

Although it was at a dust level compared to Serenia and Kijunyeol, I also had holy power. Therefore, he was able to avoid being penalized by the statue of Biruts.

“Ki Jun-yeol!!”

“Oh.”

Ki Ki-yeol nodded lightly and scattered the amulets in the air. As dozens of amulets settled in the air and began to increase everyone’s stamina, the stone statue of Biruts roared and spread its wings.

“It’s coming!! Be careful!!”

Cheon Soo-ho, who was in the lead, gritted his teeth and moved his shield, moving so flexibly and quickly that one could not believe he was a stone statue.

“Ha!! Even if it’s a stone statue of an angel, it’s just a statue!! Come on! Come on!!”

The stone statue caught by Cheon Soo-ho’s provocation swung its sword at his head. Cheon Soo-ho, who barely managed to block it, struck the statue with a shield push, and Elizabeth, Jin Si-yeon, and Max blocked all sides of the statue and started swinging their weapons.

-Chaeng!! Chaeaeang! Cheaeng!!

Defense is not average. Despite the onslaught of the allies, who had become stronger by receiving multiple buffs, the stone statue continued to attack Cheonsuho without the slightest hesitation, as if it was not suffering.

Although he was blocking with a shield, his stamina continued to drop, and perhaps because of the special power of that sword, Cheon Soo-ho’s complexion was getting worse.

“Hold on a little longer!!”

“Ha! I can’t let you die!!”

Serenia and Gi-won Yeol’s heels. And Cheon Soo-ho’s complexion, after receiving my sprint for a thousand miles, finally begins to return to its original state. They continued to attack the statue for a while, and as if taking some damage, the statue spread its wings and threw away the four people around it.

“now!!”

It was when the stone statue with its sword raised was about to hit the ground again. I immediately used magic power increase on Yu Choa, and she quickly created magic power and threw it at the statue.

-Quaaa!!

The stone statue blocked the skill. Although it is said to be immune to attribute attacks, Yoo Choa’s attacks are pure magical power without any attributes. Therefore, the stone statue that had been hit properly could not use the skill successfully. However, this blow could not prevent the statue’s attention from being focused on Yu Cho-ah.

“Haha!! Where are you looking!!”

And Cheon Su-ho was not a tank so poor that he could just ignore it. Immediately, he used a powerful shield push to attract the statue’s attention and used a taunt to draw its attention to himself.

“Keep it like this!! Keep going!!”

The bosses of this ruin have no special strategy. All you have to do is keep holding on and hold on until you fall.

So the only answer is to pound until the guy falls down.

-Kugugu palace…

The statue was strong and persistent, but eventually it fell. Only after we saw that the statue of Biruts had collapsed and turned into a pile of stones did we sit down on the ground.

“It’s even worse…”

Ki Ki-yeol, whose face became pale probably because he had used too many heels, muttered in a weak voice. Serenia smiled and nodded to him.

“This is the power of the Lord!”

“…Couldn’t you weaken the Lord’s power a little…?”

“What about the other statues…”

Everyone looked fed up. Elizabeth smiled at them and took out a scroll.

“Let’s go in and rest for now.”

As Elizabeth suggested, we went into Jogja and rested for the day.

After recovering some of our stamina, we returned to the original cavity and sighed as we saw another entrance open.

“There must be someone similar here too, right?”

“maybe…?”

When Serenia spoke shakily, everyone sank. I smiled at them and continued speaking calmly.

“Then shall we go back?”

“That can’t be possible!!”

“I’ve come this far, so giving up is a bit…”

Perhaps it’s because we are all people with strong pride, so we wonder, ‘What?’ Morale soared at once. As I watched them burn their will again, I called Elizabeth.

“why?!”

“I need to rest more often. It may take time, but…”

The academy is probably doing a good job blocking it.

That’s better than trying to attack the ruins in a hurry and getting wiped out.

It’s not like we can solve everything.

“Hmm. That would be better. Let’s get some rest and do some strategy before meeting the boss. Do you all agree?”

Everyone nodded. This proved that the stone statue of Biruts was strong.

And the method definitely worked. The second time I fought the statue of Biruts, it was easier to defeat it than the first time.

“I think it’s worth doing because I tried it once.”

“I guess the next one will be similar, right? Come on! Let’s take a break and let’s go!”

They definitely fight well. I thought it would be easier if I took a break and caught it, but I never thought I would catch it so quickly.

Elizabeth, who had forcibly thrown the guys inside who were talking about not needing to rest as if she had some stamina left, stretched out her hand towards me.

“Johan! Let’s go!”

okay. okay.

When I caught the second statue and the third without any problem, my morale soared.

“Ha ha ha ha~! Even if it’s a stone statue of an angel~!”

“You can’t stop our path!”

It’s good. Ki Ki-yeol muttered incredulously towards Cheon Soo-ho and Serenia, who were walking happily talking in front of him.

“They’re going to hurt their noses a lot if they do that.”

“Let’s just enjoy it.”

“First of all, since we captured the three statues, are the rest the owners of the ruins? Since the statues have appeared so far, will the owner be an angel?”

“Well, by the way, what if the angels in heaven attack us because we attacked the statue of an angel?”

“Hmm. No. That won’t happen. Angels and devils cannot easily intervene in this world.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

“There’s a book in the library called Biography of Angels and Demons. If you look there, it says it all. After the Creator created the world, demons ran rampant to take over the world, and the angels did as the Creator did until the Creator came back. The two forces fought endlessly to take over the world, but as the fight became more intense, the world was ruined, and the leaders of the angels and demons eventually negotiated.

“What negotiations?”

“Let’s have them take the test. On their own.”

“Hmm…? It’s a test?”

“end.”

Everyone who was listening to me flinched and shook their shoulders.

“Will humans be able to protect the world when the apocalypse comes? If humans overcome the apocalypse without the direct intervention of the two, the angels will win. If they cannot withstand the apocalypse, the devil will win.”

“There is such a thing?”

“Well… it’s kind of like a horror story. I don’t know if it’s real or not.”

Serenia, who was walking ahead, approached me and asked, and I shrugged my shoulders.

“Wait a minute. If that’s true, then what about Azazel? Azazel is an angel and came down to the world, right? Isn’t that intervention?”

“Well… the reason is simple.”

I slowly opened my mouth, looking at the cavity that was starting to appear.

“Maybe it’s because the demons were already involved.”

“…..”

Everyone fell silent. Even Cheon Soo-ho and Serenia who were having fun until now.

“Well, this is just my opinion. Now, this is the last time, so cheer up!”

“Ugh… After you lowered my morale so much by saying things like that?!”

After patting Yoo Cho-ah’s pouty head, I pointed to the communal stone statue that wasn’t there at first.

“Let’s stop talking like that and just do it.”

The battle with the final statue was also able to be completed without any problems. Of course, it was difficult, but it wasn’t that difficult for us who were used to fighting against stone statues.

“Ugh. Elixir doesn’t come out either.”

Not only was there no elixir, but no miscellaneous items were found. After comforting those who were disappointed, I pointed to a small door leading to the basement that opened in the center of the common area.

“Let’s go over there.”

So far, it’s the same as what I know. The statues don’t give anything, not even their fighting methods.

If so, it must be here.

I opened the tightly closed door and walked down the stairs to the basement. My heart was racing.

rough. I’ve been working hard to get to this moment! I almost want to scream.

“Hey! It’s dangerous! Go back! Go back!”

Tanker Cheon Su-ho stepped forward. Not only that, Elizabeth and Max stepped forward, and Jin Si-yeon also pulled me.

“Stay behind. I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Hmm… there won’t be anything up front.

Anyway, they took the lead and went down the long, deep stairs.

At the end of the stairs was a large door.

“Open it?”

Cheon Soo-ho grabbed the huge door and pushed it with all his might. The door slowly began to open with the sound of iron being twisted.

And it was in there.

“I didn’t know you would come this far, mortals. I am Azazel, the one who once sat on the throne of the Archangel.”

A silver-haired woman wrapped in disembodied wings of light was smiling happily at us.
