There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 62

21. Gold Mine (4)

The maddening storm has subsided, and white dust spreads down to the floor.

There was no movement in the queen spider. I clenched my fists with a gut feeling of victory, but-

“Did you do it?”

“George, you crazy bastard!! Why the hell are you doing that line!!!”

“Kia, Kia Aaah!!!”

As soon as the flag was raised, the Queen trembled and stood up.

Aradwa has been pierced in the middle of his face, and his teeth are shaken in rage that is almost maddening.

‘Maybe the damage wasn’t enough?’

He had finished doping the potion. His posture was also very good. It was clear that the damage with Arad was also amplified due to the javelin.

But why didn’t he die in one shot? I even ran into raids, how is this possible?

No matter how much I thought about it, the average tarantula queen couldn’t do that.

What immediately came to mind was a bug.

However, the console window was not output.

If this is true, then it has a truly absurd vitality.

“Kyaa Kiya!!” than

But there was no time to think. At the terrifying roar, the members collapsed.

Death was already in their eyes.

I can’t, I can’t It couldn’t have ended like this.

I hurriedly looked around. At that moment, a narrow tunnel pierced upwards and a rail car that had stopped working were stepped on.

‘Rail car? If you do this well… … ?!’

An idea came to mind, and I started waving my torch to draw the spider queen’s aggro.

“Hey! Are you sick?! You just got really sick!?! That’s what I threw in! How do you like spicy desserts? Koreans usually eat spicy foods!!”

When I provoke with a stomping foot, the queen, who recognized me, roared with her huge tusks.

Crying enough to make your throat tingle.

“I’ll finish this guy!!! Don’t get caught up in nothing, get out of the way!”

I pushed aside the members who were standing idly.

coogong. thud! deed de de.

Eight legs shook violently and shook the ground.

‘I’m chasing you!’

I thought that I might turn black if I turned my head, so I sprinted towards the tunnel.

In the meantime, the provocation never stops.

“Aren’t you curious what the meat tastes like? Soymilk no Bulgogi? Soymilk no Kimchi? Kimchi Bulgogi, you bastard!!”

“Kyaah!!”

The obvious murderous intent from behind.

An instinctive scream was unavoidable, as the fear that a giant creature was chasing me took over.

“Ahhh Mommy!!!!!”

But he couldn’t catch me.

The body of the Spider Queen, who had been charging with a fierce force, was completely caught in a narrow tunnel.

Coo-!! bang!!

“Kyaah!!”

The queen writhing with twinkling eyes.

But now it was completely my turn.

“Heh, heh heh, you… you’re really, huh… you’re behind!”

Quickly open a console window, go to the fix log, and search for the bug you found yesterday.

[Physical Engine Error CODE: 432C]

[An error in the laws of physics due to a system crash of unknown cause. When a moving object falls, a phenomenon occurs that repeats the same motion at a specific location.]

‘movable object’.

Rocks, silt, and railcars are also included.

[Do you want to invest tracking points to register the bug as an ability?]

I pressed the OK button without any hesitation.

Today, a welcome red brilliance flashed up and he reached out and grabbed the rail car.

『Bug occurrence / Physics engine error ERROR CODE: 432C』

Before boiling in the throat.

I shouted, pushing the railcar as hard as I could.

“It’s a road-rail aa!!!!”

* * *

bang!! bang!! bang!!!

Pujik! Pacha-cha-jak! Quickly!!

Fail could not guess what was going on inside the tunnel.

Hearing the sound, it felt as if something huge was hitting it.

“Keeeeek!!!”

The sound of the spider queen’s piercing ears. And a voice that is faintly mingled.

“Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!”

For the last time, the movement of the queen, who had been rioting just before, completely stopped.

‘You really got it? Even after being beaten, alone?’

I had a long thought.

Fail carefully put his head into the tunnel to investigate.

“Baek, Sanwoo Baek?? Are you alive!?”

But no words were heard.

What was clearly visible was the spider’s huge tail. To determine exactly what was going on, we had to take a little more approach.

“Be careful, everyone, because you don’t know.”

Still, the captain is Fail.

As it is an emergency, the safety of the members is the top priority.

“And can you come as a vanguard?”

At his request, George Madelein, who was at the forefront with Sanwoo Baek, stepped forward.

“Attack as soon as possible. In the worst case, you and I may have to face each other.”

“Yes…….”

With George holding the rapier in front of him, he approaches with extreme vigilance.

“…Sanwoo. Are you there?”

Fuchak!!

Another squeaky noise.

The queen’s tail twitched along with the sound effect that seemed to explode.

“……!!!”

“Everyone go back!”

Fail pushed the personnel back, but George continued to move forward.

“Baeksanwoo!! If you are alive, answer me!!”

The appearance of him clenching his teeth and shouting seemed to catch straw.

But there is only an ominous silence in the tunnel hidden by the queen.

Despair fell in George’s eyes.

“Damn it, damn it!”

“Wait, don’t rush in! It’s dangerous!”

“But there’s a Sanwoo!!”

The moment he couldn’t wait to rush towards the spider.

Pacchut, Pachichichi!!

A blue lightning flashed, and something long and thin pierced the queen’s body.

A familiar silhouette soon came into view.

As the light of the torch illuminates the silhouette, Arthur’s uniform, painted in green blood, appeared.

Molgol completely covered with body fluids.

Not only Fail but the others were astonished at the appearance of Baek San-woo, who staggered with his spear in his hand.

‘You really did it? Queen?’

It was an incredible sight to see with your own eyes.

She is the tarantula queen.

Even veterans made up of sophomores or 3rd graders succeeded in subjugating opponents who were struggling with the chick expedition that had just entered school.

“Baeksanwoo!!”

As George ran away smiling brightly, the remains of the subjugated Queen were scattered in gray dust and began to disappear.

Watching the scene, the members sat down one by one.

It was as if the strength of his legs had loosened due to the relief that was rushing in.

But apart from the others who were happy, Fail could not control the trembling of his body.

It’s not out of joy.

He took a step back, wiping his trembling arm.

‘Hey, what the hell… … .’

A first-year boy walking out with the oxidizing queen in the background.

Fail, who witnessed the scene, felt pure fear.

* * *

‘Ugh, I’m afraid I’m going to die.’

I picked up the clothes and sniffed them.

It didn’t seem like it had a bad odor.

That doesn’t mean it’s covered in spider’s blood, though.

‘I’m tired of needlessly life.’

Aradwa delivered a conversion blow, but the Spider Queen did not die so easily.

So, the next method I chose was to use a rail car to crush him.

It was originally built to transport ores.

Not only is the body heavy, it is made of thick steel and is incredibly hard.

If it was hit head-on by such an object, it would be natural for even a queen to be unsatisfied.

Bugs were also applied to ensure a clear ending.

If the railcar was pushed in along with Aradwa and it didn’t die, it was a major crisis in its own way.

And my predictions came true.

The Queen did not die from being hit by a railcar once.

However, he could not stand until his face was continuously hit by the rail car.

A bombardment of overwhelming mass.

It was an instant that the face of the guy who had rebelled to the end, clenching his tusks, turned into chaos.

Every time the railcar slammed into it, its upper shattered, its flesh smashed, and blood spewed out.

In the process, he had no choice but to soak up the body fluid.

‘Besides, it was even more disgusting that Aradwa was completely embedded in his body.’

It was for that reason that the body pierced through the body before it disappeared.

I crawled inside my body to retrieve Aradwa, but I was suffocated and something really bad was about to happen.

“Here, Chairman.”

“thank you.”

I gulped down the cool water that Buwon had given me. It was only now that I started to realize that I had really won.

‘But does it make sense that Aradwar and the railcar can’t be killed all at once?’

【Of course it doesn’t make sense. He’s not the one coming out of here.]

It was a question that kept coming up. Lioner was of the same opinion on this point.

【If you didn’t get Aradwa. At least half of the crew must have died.]

It wasn’t an exaggeration.

Even when I saw the Spider Queen several times in the main story, she possessed a strangely strong strength.

Rather than a normal dungeon boss or an entity that had an abnormality due to a problem with the dungeon system… … .

A level close to the spider corps leader that appears in the final battle with the Liberation Front.

‘Ah, no matter what, it can’t be. It is from the end of the second year that the Liberation Front comes to the fore in earnest.’

I erased the thoughts that had been floating in my mind for a while.

“There, Mr. Baek San-woo. Do you need to come over for a moment?”

“What’s going on?”

I woke up to the sound of Fail calling.

He, George, and Ortana’s Ain were now investigating the traces left behind by the disappearance of the Spider Queen.

“Look at the dropped items!”

There, even at a glance, there was a huge mana stone and one shining armor.

At the very least, he was likely to be at the Epic level.

“Huh? Do you have one more?”

Something trembled in Fail’s hand. A sphere-shaped metal connected to a string swings left and right like a grandfather clock.

It was a pendant.

‘It is rare that two pieces of equipment are dropped.’

Feeling a little uncomfortable, I accepted the pendant in question.

“Have you ever seen anything like this?”

“Accessories, what… they come in various shapes, huh, ugh!?”

As soon as I grabbed the pendant, I could feel the incredibly strong magical energy.

Not only that.

What I thought was decoration was not just metal.

I felt my heart pounding. The silver sphere was moving like a heart.

“Is it true?”

The moment I realized the identity of the pendant, a word was spit out unconsciously.

I know this pendant.

Those who have read the main story of Paradise Academia cannot know without knowing it.

“…a mark of the commander of the Liberation Front.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha…”

Illyana sighed heavily and fell to the wall.

In front of her lies the corpse of a tarantula with an arrow stuck to its vital point.

She is a half-artel, and is also an upper-secondary student of Arrin and Ortana.

From the beginning, the tarantula was not a very demanding enemy for Iliana.

The reason I couldn’t react quickly at first was simply because I was embarrassed by the unexpected situation.

In particular, she is a master alchemist.

If you add the assistance of various potions, it didn’t matter how many tarantulas came.

As if to prove that fact, the magic stones left by the tarantula were scattered on the path she passed.

“This is the end.”

Having secured the safety around her, she checked the amount of potions left in her bag.

The clothes he wore were completely damaged and torn here and there. That’s why the legs and arms are full of scratches.

But I can’t stop.

can’t go back

Marily had to go upstairs and ask for help, but Illyana, who knew the habits of tarantula monsters, could not leave her companions behind.

Tarantulas do not immediately prey on their prey.

They paralyze their victims, form them into cocoons, and store them in a specific ‘food pantry’.

Victims thus stored become hosts of prey or spiders within a few hours.

Perhaps it was not enough time for Iliana to bring reinforcements.

‘The food pantry is probably the boss room. A typical queen tarantula. I can deal with it.’

Green Hell Dungeon, where similar monsters inhabit, has experience of attacking several times to gather materials.

It won’t be easy, but Illyana alone has a good chance of winning.

Without hesitation, she headed to the boss room.

As we reached the end of the tunnel, a wide passage shining in purple appeared.

‘Amethyst Underground Tunnel’, the boss room of the Golden Mine.

Obviously, the subdued comrades must be engulfed in a cocoon somewhere here.

Illyana was all on her nerves, alerting the Spider Queen to any possible presence.

He held the bow that Marily had entrusted to him, and tied a special Molotov cocktail tightly around his waist.

Once ignited, a combat throwing potion that does not go out until it completely burns the target, eternal fire.

It would be a very effective attack for tarantulas, which are extremely vulnerable to the fire attribute.

As close to the wall as possible, she bowed and entered the boss room.

By the way.

‘No cobwebs, no cocoons.’

When there was no sign of the queen she was supposed to be, Illyana fell into chaos.

Maybe not here?

My heart was rushed. This was because the more he wandered, the less likely his colleagues were to return safely.

At that moment, someone’s voice suddenly came out of the darkness.

“…it was.”

Could it be a colleague who escaped safely without being caught by the boss?

Illyana moved closer to the voice with a glimmer of hope.

As the distance got closer, there were a total of three Inyoungs revealed.

All but one were wearing robes, so it was difficult to judge accurately.

‘It’s not Artel. And this magic… … .’

The more you get closer, the more intense magic you can feel. It was emanating from a man at the center.

That’s not all.

Red eyes that glistened in the dark, and skin that was twisted like a mummy.

Recognizing the golden crown placed on her head, Iliana’s hand trembled.

‘ah.’

She knows the legend of the gold mine. Even what happened here 300 years ago.

That’s why I couldn’t believe it.

It’s clear that he’s talking to a suspicious person wearing a robe.

‘Aaron Nortonhale… … !’

Because he was the prince of the fallen land fairy who was subjugated by the heroes.
