How To Survive at the Demon Academy

chapter 21



The distance to the Monster Museum was quite far.

Even if you take a car, it will take about 20 minutes.

Since it is a dungeon that embodies a real city, it will probably take about the same time.

Of course, it’s not that big of a problem.

In the first place, hunters with overwhelming physical abilities were able to move faster than vehicles.

And because I had stronger abilities than before, I was able to move faster.

“Wow! fast!”

I burst into admiration as I watched the jetty passing by on top of my head.

“Be careful not to fall.”

“okay!”

Contrary to her worries, Jetty stuck to her head as if she had applied glue, and was stably examining her surroundings.

‘Herculus is… No need to worry.’

I glanced back and saw that Hercules was also following me without saying anything.

‘Is that magic too?’

Unlike me, who was able to achieve high speed with pure physical strength, Herculus was flying while moving with his body slightly aloft.

Just as I use magic to move faster and stronger, Herculus seems to create a similar effect with magic power.

The Monster Museum arrived in no time.

I nodded as I looked at the towering building.

“It looks just like the one I knew.”

“yes? What are you talking about?”

“It is nothing.”

“Then why did you ask to come here?”

“Isn’t it noticeable?”

“That’s right.”

Having said that, the biggest reason I targeted the Monster Museum was simple.

Because it was the place with the most monsters.

exactly.

‘There were the most models of monsters.’

In the Monster Museum, various types of monsters were exhibited, and a virtual reality system was also installed to experience them.

Of course, since this is a space created by magic, it is difficult to think that a virtual reality system would have been implemented.

However, it is highly likely that the model monsters were materialized instead.

That’s what I was aiming for here first.

‘Looking at the fact that I didn’t encounter any other monsters on the way, I think my prediction was correct.’

No matter how fast he moved, it wasn’t enough to miss the monster.

That said, there was a certain area where monsters appeared in this magic dungeon, and this monster museum could be seen as a very good respawning place.

“Then are you going in now?”

“That’s right, before that… .”

I checked the status window of Jetty, who had moved from head to shoulder.

‘I don’t expect too much anyway. yes?’

◆ Name: Jetty

◆ Age: 3 years old

◆ Stats: Strength (195) Agility (253) Magi (316) Endurance (563)

Most of Jetty’s abilities didn’t go beyond my expectations.

However, there was one unexpected ability.

‘What is my age?’

It was more durable than I could have imagined.

Strength, agility, and magic were the lowest among those who had been checked so far, but their durability was different.

‘No, your durability is higher than mine?’

Lectron, who can be said to be the strongest among those I faced directly, had a durability of 700 units.

At first glance, he looked strong, but Jetty was not at all.

I looked at Jetty again.

‘Well… .’

cute.

And soft and soft.

An appearance that doesn’t match the durability ability that is related to receiving and enduring an opponent’s attack.

But when I think about it, it wasn’t entirely wrong.

‘Is it because of the characteristics of slime?’

Slimes are basically highly resistant to attacks such as cutting and stabbing.

The same goes for blows with blunt weapons.

It is a concept of shedding an attack rather than sustaining it, but if this is also included in the durability, that ability is understandable.

Of course, I can’t say that the slime I know is the same as Jetty, the existence of the demon world, but I wondered if the big frame would be similar.

‘It’s okay to use it as a shield in an emergency… Ah, isn’t this?’

I felt sorry for thinking that I shouldn’t have thought for a moment.

‘It would be okay if I changed the direction of Jetty’s training a little differently later.’

If you didn’t know the ability level, you might not know, but now that you have accurately identified it, it seems that you can help in a more efficient direction.

‘Still, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.’

Even if an emergency situation arises, Jetty will not be hurt.

“Okay then let’s go in.”

“Let’s go!”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

We slowly moved into the Monster Museum.

* * *

The first emotion I felt upon entering the museum.

It was a reluctance.

A situation where black air currents that strangely irritate the nerves rise from all over the place.

It was definitely different from the monster museum I knew.

Of course there would be no people, but aside from that, the models of the monsters that were supposed to fill the museum didn’t stand out.

‘Is it bad?’

I thought monsters would appear instead of models, but I didn’t see them at all.

But it is still too early to conclude.

“It would be good to go in a bit more.”

There was no elevator, so I had to jump up myself, but it wasn’t too difficult.

The moment I reached the 5th floor like that.

Krrrr-

A low-pitched cry was heard.

It was similar to that of a beast, but the power contained in its cry was never the beast’s.

‘Oh, this is bigger than I thought.’

Heh heh!

A roaring monster with a waving black mane.

The monster burning the surroundings with flames blooming from its entire body was a guy called a messenger of hell.

‘This guy is a higher level monster than the Twin Hydra.’

It’s about half the size of Twin Hydra, but it’s a much stronger Hell Messenger.

Based on the Hunter days, it was an almost impossible monster to catch alone.

If you receive all kinds of buffs and use a lot of artifacts, you can try.

If you think about the case of the twin hydra earlier, it probably won’t be weaker than it actually is, and it’s a monster that I shouldn’t be vigilant even with my current abilities.

Of course, this is simply the case when talking about abilities.

‘Since I have a demonic barrier, I can hunt much more easily.’

The most tricky thing about the messenger of hell is the fire attack that shoots out from all over the body.

Since the flames could not be blocked with ordinary armor or defense skills, it was a case in which the difficulty of attack was higher than the ability level.

The magic barrier I possessed was not an ordinary defense skill, and if I used it, I would be able to easily hunt the messengers of hell.

‘Then let’s try hunting.’

Hercules grabbed my shoulder as I slowly moved forward.

“Are you okay? That monster looks stronger than the previous ones.”

Hercules also seemed to feel the strength of the messenger of hell.

“No problem. It is not a difficult opponent for me.”

“As expected, Kyler Diablick. Okay, let’s see.”

“Let’s cheer for Kyler and me.”

Herculus sneaks back and Jetty rides on Herculus’s head.

Does Jetty have a passive ability to ride on others?

If it’s good, they have good affinity, and if it’s bad, they don’t seem to be afraid.

But again, I don’t hate it so much in the position of being subjected to such behavior.

It’s because Albion and I are close, but in the case of Herculus, even though it’s the first time we’ve had a conversation, he treats him so casually.

‘Still, I guess I’m glad I didn’t get on top of the professors.’

With such trivial thoughts, I arrived in front of the messenger of hell.

Krrrr-

The messenger of hell lowering his stance while letting out a low cry.

However, since he was originally on the large side, he had to look up even when he lowered his body.

What’s a bit surprising is that the savage angels of hell, one of the most savage, don’t immediately rush at you.

“Are you scared?”

Krrrr-

The messenger of hell I knew was a monster that never backed down.

Even if his intelligence was just a little higher, the difficulty of the attack would have been twice as high.

Even though I am strong now, it is difficult to see that I am at the level where the messengers of hell would be afraid.

‘Is it because of his dignity?’

Dignity, an ability that has not yet been properly grasped.

I’m only vaguely guessing that it’s an ability that affects the opponent, but maybe my prediction is correct.

“It looks like a big cat.”

As I approached, he lowered his stance even further.

I know what that look means.

‘come.’

Whoops!

Black flames erupt explosively with a loud roar.

It is a skill of a messenger of hell that burns opponents by turning a certain area into a sea of fire.

An attack that, if attacked without knowing it, will be swept away by flames and disappear without leaving a trace.

of course.

‘It doesn’t work for me.’

And the messenger of hell has a clear attack method.

The first thing to do is to avoid that flame attack.

should not be blocked

must be absolutely avoided.

But that’s the story of when I was the past.

“Is this all?”

Heh heh!

The angel of hell continued to spew flames and set my surroundings on fire.

However, the flames were unable to inflict any damage on my body.

It was because the thinly spread magic barrier around the body was blocking all damage.

‘Exceeding expectations.’

Its performance was confirmed in the confrontation with Rectron, but it is a skill that shows excellent effect even with wide-area attacks.

I think I will use it a lot in the future.

“It’s my turn this time.”

At the point of blocking the flames of the messengers of hell, the difficulty of attacking becomes relatively low.

If it’s not a skill, it’s just a big and fast monster.

This is something that should be about my ability level now.

Whoa!

Was he mad at me for not responding to his attacks at all?

The messenger of hell rushed at me with a heavy body.

Big feet and sharp claws.

It contained enough power to tear people to pieces with a simple kick.

However.

“An attack is meaningless if it doesn’t hit.”

I moved my body slightly to get out of his attacking trajectory and quickly moved to the side.

There were as many places to hit as his huge body, and among them, he aimed for the empty side.

Kwaaang!

The fist containing demonic energy struck the messenger of hell.

big!

The boy crouched down with a scream.

Kreung, Kreung?

The messenger of hell with an expression of incomprehension.

It is smaller than its own feet.

You might not understand, since the punches of such an insignificant being pierced thick skin and instilled pain.

But what he needs to know is that I am the strong here and he is the weak.

“Still, you’re stronger than you think.”

Compared to Twin Hydra, which ended in one hit, Hell Messenger took a hit, but withstood my attack.

Of course, there were things I wanted to experiment with, so I adjusted my strength, but he was definitely a strong guy.

However, having a strong body was a misfortune for him now.

“Then we can do some more experiments.”

big!

The messenger of hell that once again ignites flames.

“They said it didn’t work.”

I calmly took in the flames and calmed my breathing.

Magi explosively amplifies through Diablic Force.

The red demonic energy that flowed out like a haze gathered in both hands.

“First of all, I’ll have to check what level the strongest attack I can make is.”

Kreung, Kreung?

The messenger of hell tilts his head with an expression of incomprehension.

However, a single attack was enough for that expression to change.

“It sounds like a good fit.”

The hardest and most defensive part of the body of the messenger of hell is the neck surrounded by the mane.

It is the messenger of hell that can deflect most attacks with its mane.

And now, the attack with all its might exploded at that neck.

Whoops!

A cloud of dust rose with a huge explosion.

After a while.

“Well… .”

The mane disappeared without a trace.

And the head of the messenger of hell on top of it also disappeared without a trace.

I clicked my tongue lightly as I watched the situation created by my fists.

“You are too weak.”

Although it was a little sad that the situation ended sooner than expected.

“It won’t matter.”

Seeing the other monsters appearing in the distance made me smile.

Herding is the best way to grow.

I threw myself at the monsters.
