There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 94

30. How to become an apostle of light (1)

Surprisingly, there are many games that create and operate dungeons by themselves among fantasy games.

The characteristic of such a game is to repel the heroes by placing monsters and traps in the right place.

The concept of defense is strong, such as leveling up monsters or strengthening dungeons to block stronger heroes.

However, my taste didn’t fit well with the defense game, so I didn’t get my hands on it.

I never dreamed that I would be brought to Paradise Academia to do it.

“For now, let’s place a Rotten Ghoul here.”

[No, Baek Sanwoo. Think carefully. Rotten ghouls form groups of at least two or three. Rather, it is better to put a ghost-type monster such as a Wight as a single entity… … .]

Me and the Lioner had a heated discussion as we scribbled drawings on a map of the structure of the underground village.

Of course, as soon as I got out of the dungeon, I went to the printing shop and copied it.

I’ve only pulled out 10 copies like that, so it should be enough to use.

If you run out of it again, you can get more.

“Ghost? Or rather, wouldn’t it be better to be a zombie or a skeleton?”

【Aren’t they both monsters that didn’t appear? It should consist only of monsters that were originally present.]

“Hmm… is that so?”

I put an X on the skull I drew on the map.

Right after the last time, the grudged Seorin Underground Village was completely captured due to the intervention of Jelliya, a heretic judge.

I could come up with an idea to restore the dungeon.

Basically, dungeons in Paradise Academia can be cleared multiple times.

As long as the core located in the center is not destroyed, monsters will continue to be created.

The problem was that these settings did not apply to some main scenario dungeons, including the grudge Seorin Underground Village, the main stage of Chapter 3.

This is because the dungeon is not driven by nuclear power and is controlled by a special boss, the Dungeon Master.

And the dungeon master of the grudged underground village was the Elder Rich ‘Madelus’ that Elijah destroyed.

It was impossible to restore 100% of the dungeon in a situation where the dungeon master had already been destroyed.

With the help of the temple, it was possible to create a similar environment.

【But is it really possible? Are there any undead engaged in the temple?]

“When did I ever say the impossible?”

The Heretical Judgment Bureau to which Elijah belongs.

There is a secret hidden there that only a high-ranking official of the temple cannot know.

“There’s a place called Festa Island. It’s a kind of training ground to produce official heretical judges. It’s like a complete dungeon.”

I remembered the time when I entrusted myself to the temple of Canaan on several occasions and rode the ‘Apostle of Light Route’.

If you ride the Apostle of Light route, you will leave the island at the request of the temple only once during play.

The request was to investigate the disaster on Festa Island.

“There are plenty of undead and ghosts inside, and there are also quite a few monsters that are quite strong. And if you survive there for a week, you pass the test.”

【That’s crazy.】

As it was practically driving them to death, the Lioner replied disgustingly.

【But how do you keep it? The magic that generates divine power and undead is completely opposite.]

“That’s where the Immortal Core and Iscariot Choir come from.”

The immortal core is a kind of magic tool that plays a similar role to the dungeon core, as its name suggests.

Using that, the temple artificially encroached upon the island with magic.

It created an environment suitable for monsters to live.

“And the Iscarriot Choir is talking about the priests who create and manage monsters on Festa Island.”

【Damn it, it was similar 300 years ago… … I went until I went to the temple of Canaan.]

So, if it’s just the two of you, just like Festa Island, we can re-create the grudged Seorin underground village.

‘It would be nice to be able to save even the Elder Rich, but it won’t be enough. After all, it’s not a place where you learn skills like in Bernax.’

【But will the Heresy Judgment Office give it away?】

Lioner asked the most fundamental question.

It was a natural story.

Even if there is a way to restore it, it cannot be realized unless someone who has the tool in question is willing to lend it.

Besides, the opponent is a temple.

As long as they have a closed organization called the Heretic Judgment Bureau under their control, they are active even in the shadows.

They wouldn’t be able to easily reveal their two sides.

“It’s up to him now. To be honest, I can’t help but bite the bullet when the Apostle of Light has appeared.”

[…] … What do you plan to do with the aftermath when you find out?]

To that question, I responded by simply shrugging my shoulders.

no worries about getting caught

Because I even tried the Apostle of Light myself.

I said while pondering Yelia’s envying eyes as she looked at me.

“Being happy with the temple is the part I am most confident about.”

* * *

After the purification of the underground village full of undead was over.

Elijah once again met a white mountain cow at a temple in the Central Terrier.

There, Elijah was given detailed instructions on how to build the dungeon he had ruined.

-Using the power of the Iscariot Choir, summon undead and ghost monsters. We’ll use the immortal core to hold them from escaping.

Baek San-woo speaks as if he knows even secret information that is extremely rare even inside the temple.

Elijah had no choice but to realize once again that he was truly an apostle of light.

There was no doubt in his eyes, and he didn’t even feel like he was thinking about himself.

-Don’t doubt it. Is this also the meaning of light? The Redeemer must do what I say.

What the hell kind of priest could witness all the sights and deny it?

The light illuminating the apostle Baeksanwoo was the majesty of the perfect God.

A holy being who gives power right before your eyes. It was indeed the spirit of an apostle of light that leads to righteousness.

When I think of that time, I feel goosebumps for some reason, so Yelia shrugged her shoulders a little and finished writing the letter.

… … As a result of this, that Redeemer, Elijah, assures me, I request the dispatch of the Immortal Core and the Iscariot Choir.

A sacred parchment given only to high priests. It was a special letter that was only used when an urgent matter occurred.

On top of that, there was a lot of writing in a neat handwriting.

‘great.’

After completing the urgent correspondence, she took out the seal from the drawer.

At the very end of the article, where I wrote my name, I pounded it down.

On top of the gothic cross pattern, the unique baptismal name of Elijah is engraved.

Then, the moment when the leather was rolled up, tied with a rope, and sealed with wax to seal it tightly.

Bump-!

The door to her office, which had been tightly closed, opened wide.

A crowd of judges filled the hallway.

At the forefront of these was High Judge Francis, who had a close relationship with her.

Elijah is the substitute. It is a position where no one can treat anyone recklessly within the Heresy Tribunal.

Therefore, even Francis, with whom he had a close relationship, was right to be treated with due respect.

Knowing why they were doing this despite their rudeness, Yelia just stood up calmly.

“what happened.”

“Rover! This is absurd! Even the superiors will not accept it!”

Francis raised his voice and said. If it wasn’t related to magic, even the gentleman who showed a decent attitude in everything would be very upset.

It wasn’t just Francis who was agitated.

Most of the heretical judges had a look that they did not understand.

Some of them were faint, but there were those who had doubts about Elijah.

For the heretical judge, the position he holds is inviolable.

A law in which the will of the Judgment Kingdom, furthermore, the will of the substitute, and ultimately the will of Canaan should take precedence over the will of the individual.

For this reason, it was very new to see the general judges harboring a series of antipathy towards him.

“I know everyone is confused, and I am fully aware of how absurd my opinion is.”

“Then, Redeemer, please explain! The reason for bringing the Immortal Core and Iscariot Choir to this island!”

No matter how much Elijah is the substitute, he can’t handle everything as he pleases.

Naturally, he was in a state of giving some remarks to the high-ranking judges.

When Francis heard the news, he led the disgruntled personnel and came to the office in person.

‘Because it’s a sensitive part.’

If she hadn’t met Baek San Woo, she would have acted similarly to Francis.

Elijah calmly opened his mouth to the gathered brothers and sisters.

“Do you remember what the high priest’s oracle was last time?”

High Priest Bassanio, the sole leader of the Canaanite Temple, the predecessor of the Heretical Judgment Bureau.

It seems that there are many rumors going around now, but his divine power was real.

There was no heretical judge who could use the legitimacy as a criterion.

“He told me to prepare before the future comes that I can’t afford. I absolutely believe in that trust.”

“What does the saint’s oracle have to do with this now?”

Francis softened the fierce momentum a little and faced Yelia directly.

“The forgotten hero who has never appeared before, the successor of Triston has appeared. The spirits that had been sleeping by the Demon King have been awakened.”

Elijah continued to speak in a calm yet powerful voice.

“In addition, the new students of Nakwon School who came in this year, coincidentally, are already showing tremendous skills and are growing.”

She also reiterated the work in the gold mine, adding that the movement of the Liberation Front has become very frequent in recent years.

“All of these facts predict that great trials will come in the future. That is why we, the Heretical Judgment Bureau, the shadow of Canaan, should prepare for those trials more thoroughly than anyone else.”

However, he did not talk about the Altar of the Demon King.

No matter how strict the judiciary is, it will be difficult to completely control the word ‘Demon King’.

Instead, Elijah blinked at Francis.

After realizing the meaning of those words, Francis coughed and continued.

“Hmmm… Then, are you saying that bringing the two abyss to Paradise Island is to prepare for the ordeal?”

“Yes. Judge Francis.”

Elijah nodded and looked into the air with twinkling eyes.

“Because the Apostle of Light has commanded it.”

“Apostle of Light…!”

At that word, the crowd began to roar. Because it was a word referring to one of the three beams of light that supported the temple.

The high priest who receives the entire power of the temple from the light and becomes the subject of the oracle.

A temple knight captain who becomes the sword of the gods and punishes evil with the divine.

And the last one was the apostle of light who led the world to the right path.

“Did the Redeemer meet the Apostle of Light…?”

“Yes. You are here, on Paradise Island.”

“Oh My God.”

Francis was literally astonished.

He was a person who had only been handed down in the legends of the temple. A position that has been vacant so far among the three persons of light.

Because it was saying that the owner of the title, which was now merely symbolic, had returned.

There is no way that she, who is supposed to be a substitute, was possessed by anything, and there is no way she could tell lies to the judges.

‘The Redeemer is sure. If so, then maybe the person called the Apostle of Light… … .’

Francis knew what the look of the Redeemer meant.

He was the one who defied the pursuit of himself and Elijah, and even destroyed the Demon King’s altar.

‘Baeksanwoo… … !!!’

It was Francis, who had strongly opposed it a while ago.

It didn’t take long for him to have eyes like Yelia.
