chapter 38
Raid (5)
Ignoring all the chaotic situation within the academy, I ran in a straight line to Amelia Hall, where Yulia’s sparring was scheduled, but it was close. If it wasn’t for the speed of the flying sword, Yulia would have been lost.
Thoughts like that caused a sudden death, and I had a strong urge to explode Godwin’s head as it was, but I suppressed it with all my patience. After all, he is Yulia’s brother. I didn’t want to burden Yulia. Fortunately, they haven’t eaten humans yet.
The demonic nature has been awakened, but the demonic spirit has not entered the marrow. could be reversed
“Huh… Heh heh…”
I could feel him looking at me and guarding me. Immediately after awakening, Mine becomes most faithful to their instincts. And the strongest among them was the survival instinct. Seeing me step backwards, it seemed that they were preparing to run away.
“Sorry for late.”
After talking to Yulia behind her back.
bang!
He immediately kicked off the ground and ran, sealing his blood vessels first and breaking his limb joints. I’ll have to recuperate for a while, but since I’ve cleaned it up, there won’t be much aftereffects. would be better than dying
I grabbed the head of the guy who was about to fall down and lifted him up.
He struck the energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art into the baekhoehyeol of the guy who couldn’t move properly because the blood was sealed in the shattered joint.
The energy of the Heavenly Demon Spirit, which started from Baekhoehyeol and was forcibly squeezed in, devastated Godwin’s demonic energy and burned it.
Godwin’s body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, as the mighty spirit stirred inside him.
For a while, he turned the energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art to even the veins of Godwin’s body and removed the demonic energy hidden in every corner.
The human body is a mysterious law, so if you forcibly burn the demonic energy like this, the pure and pure guardian of the heavens circulates through the body, trying to somehow restore it to normal and calms the demonic nature.
However, if the marrow is filled with demonic energy, it is virtually impossible to remove the demonic energy in this way, and even if it is temporarily removed, the demonic energy will consume the body in an instant. It was the most important thing to subdue before.
Godwin was lucky in that respect.
“It’s okay now, Yulia.”
“…thank you.”
Almost crying, Yulia looked up at me.
“There has been an achievement.”
It seemed that Yulia did better than he had worried about. To the point of regret that I couldn’t see it because I was attending the Imperial Council.
“yes. Master…”
He let go of Godwin’s head and lightly patted and stroked Yulia’s head.
“Godwin’s work is not your fault. Since such a demon is not an existence that is easily born, it is clear that someone has intervened in this matter. You just got caught up, so you don’t have to feel guilty.”
Staring at Godwin from earlier, it was clear that he was regretting something.
“But… if it wasn’t for me, none of this would have happened to Godwin’s older brother…”
“Imagine that neither you nor Iza were just unlucky. There will be someone else who did this.”
“…All right.”
When I expanded my senses and probed the inside of the bachelor’s office, it seemed that the faculty, staff, and students were responding rather well than expected, even though Amelia’s dean was absent. Of course, sacrifices were inevitable.
“Follow me at once. I can’t stay here forever.”
Professor Pedro and Godwin, who fainted, were floated into the air and went outside with Julia.
* * *
After leaving Amelia Hall, the academy was like a battlefield. The desire and anger that had been suppressed so far surged, and those who awakened as demons and those who wanted to subdue them entangled and roared from all directions.
In addition, there were other things that infiltrated the academic school that the alien demonic energy was detected.
The destination, the medical facility within the school building, had already turned into a military base. There were obstacles and defensive magic circles blocking the way.
The inside of the building was filled with groaning wounded, medics moving frantically, and people who were wary of anyone aiming for this place.
“Professor Pedro?!”
One of the medics, who had been yelling at the side, hurriedly came this way, perhaps recognizing Professor Pedro.
“There is no harm in life. And this is Godwin Rosenberg, a senior at the academy.”
“This….”
“I overpowered him at the beginning of his awakening, so he’s fine now. However, most of the energy in the body has been sealed off, and many of the major joints have been broken, so treatment is required.”
“You worked hard. We’ll take care of the rest.”
After putting Pedro and Godwin to bed, the medical staff began to treat them.
“wait a moment. I’ll be right back.”
“I am fine. Do as Master wills.”
Yulia nodded with a slight smile at the tip of her mouth, as if to reassure her.
No hostile energy was detected in the surroundings, and the troops here should be safe.
I turned around and came out of the building.
My stomach had been boiling from earlier, but I had endured it.
From Princess Riena to Yulia.
I don’t know if they belong to one group or another group, but they clearly crossed the line.
There was something I promised from Moorim in the past.
It couldn’t be an alliance.
There was also the position of the leader of the Protestant Church.
In the first place, judging the kindness of others was difficult in itself.
However, touching someone in my hand, not just someone else, was never acceptable.
Even more so, if it was between a priest and a teacher, there was nothing more to say.
They and I can no longer live in the same sky.
I swear quietly in my heart.
I pulled out the black thunder.
* * *
bang!
From the air, a sword made of black steel pierced the hidden warlock from head to torso and stuck to the ground.
“What… what!”
The black magician hiding next to him was frightened and took a backward step.
“Twelve with this. Where is your chief?”
The man who came down leisurely from the air asked. While startled, the warlock raised his wand and cast a spell.
squeak.
Without the warlock realizing it, the arm holding the staff fell to the ground.
“Quaaagh—!”
“Next is the bridge. Where is your chief?”
“I… I don’t know! We were just given orders from him!”
The warlock screamed with a pale complexion.
“Tsk, is this guy too?”
“Who the hell are you…!”
Took.
The head with its eyes wide open separated from the body and fell to the ground.
‘Almost done.’
Carol, who killed the two warlocks in an instant, thought as she flew back into the air. From a while ago, I widened my senses and flew low in the school building, looking for a different energy, and sure enough.
The black magician hid his presence and hid here and there. I don’t know much about magic, so I don’t know what he was doing there, but it seems that he used some kind of trick to awaken humans into demons.
Most of the things in the center of the school have been taken care of, so now there are only a few places left.
The range was too wide.
‘It would not have penetrated the ground. Even so, the academy’s security was not at a level that could be breached so laxly.’
Something passed through Carol’s mind as she judged the route one by one.
The academy was right next to a huge lake, and the shores were poorly guarded. That’s what Carol had seen so far.
‘Magi.’
While flying around the lake like that, I felt a huge demonic energy in Carol’s spirits and headed down.
There was an old man wearing a black robe and standing with his hands behind his back looking out at the calm lake.
He was staring straight ahead with a carefree expression, like a well-to-do master, with fine wrinkles and a benevolent impression.
“Who are you?”
The old man asked with a benevolent smile.
“The warlock is talking as if he were a Seer.”
“Huh… You look like an academy student. The level is unusual.”
As if in genuine admiration, the old man nodded.
“Who are you?”
“Hmm… that’s right. You deserve to know my name. nice to meet you My name is Tobias.”
“Tobias…? Aren’t you dead?”
“Cluck, it looks like you hid it from the imperial family. Didn’t you hear rumors about it disappearing while being transported?”
“at all.”
“It is also an empire. that’s hmm Right. It’s like an elaborate doll that’s almost like a human. Our energy has some restrictions on outside activities. Especially when it comes to me. Didn’t you notice right away?”
While having a conversation, Tobias was observing Carol’s body one by one. Tobias had never seen a body like that in his long life. It was indeed the ideal body that Tobias had dreamed of.
“As expected, you were in the same league with the demons who tried to kidnap Princess Riena.”
“Hmm… no, no. It’s not such a simple relationship. Of course, there are many cases where they serve the same owner, but basically, they are not close enough to say that they are in the same family.”
“You talk a lot.”
“The more I look at you, the more I want your body.”
“Why are you so obsessed with other people’s bodies?”
“Don’t you know?”
Tobias asked, eyes wide.
“Should I know about your disgusting thoughts?”
“Disgusting, we are just scholars. exploring the human body.”
It seemed extremely rational, but the more he spoke, the more Carol realized it. this guy is crazy It was also completely engulfed in madness.
“Couldn’t you open your body just once? I can’t guarantee it, but I’ll make you stronger. Don’t knights like that?”
Tobias said, rolling his eyes.
“I have no intention of playing with you. So why did you raid the academy? Why?”
“Hmm… I see. The reason… it’s a secret. Can you tell me about that?”
“I guess you don’t have any intention of opening your mouth.”
Carol said while pulling out the black lightning.
“Oh… wait! wait and see! I have no intention of fighting.”
squeak.
One of Tobias’ arms, which had been moving hastily, was severed and fell to the ground.
‘Shallow?’
I clearly cut my arm, but it didn’t feel like cutting through bone and flesh properly.
“You are belligerent.”
Without even screaming, Tobias calmly picked up his fallen arm, brushed it off, and put it back on his body.
“Did you test it on yourself?”
“Isn’t it natural? We are the seekers.”
“It’s disgusting.”
“Don’t do that too much. How do you think we have continued to experiment?”
“Since a while ago, we, we have been saying, who are you guys?”
“Hmm… I wonder if it’s meaningful for you to find out anyway… We say it’s Diabolus Pretum.”
Tobias opened his mouth slowly and stared at Carol.
“Diabolus Pretum. I will remember that name.”
“What can you do alone? You asked what the purpose was earlier? Let me tell you one thing. This is a warning. to the Empire.”
“warning…? Only you guys? Does the Empire look funny?”
“No, no. The Empire is certainly stronger than any other nation in the continent’s history. But the brighter the light, the darker the shadow.”
Shaking his head, Tobias said.
“So you guys are the shadows?”
“It could be one of them. From today, the Empire will have to fear the night.”
“That is not known. You should be afraid right now.”
“Anyway, I was of the same opinion. Originally, I didn’t want to fight. It’s too precious to leave your body alone.”
thud!
Tobias quickly backed away, then slammed his staff down on the ground, revealing a massive door that seemed to have squeezed together hundreds of screaming and writhing humans.
Carol felt that Tobias’ level was at least the level of Dean Amelia. At that level, his position in the group called Diabolus Pretum would not be low by any means.
‘I have to catch it here.’
Thinking so, Carol raised her spirits.
“It’s a pointless resistance!”
With Tobias’ words, a door that seemed to embody hell opened, and hundreds of anemone-shaped monsters made of wriggling flesh jumped out. At the same time, a clanking sound was heard from the lake shore, and an army of skeletons clad in rusty armor climbed endlessly to the ground.
– Kieeck!
A grotesque bird appeared in the sky, howling.
bang!
Finally, as if escorting the old man around, a knight with a black armor and a headless knight, well over twice as tall as a human, appeared.
“What can you do alone? Even if a swordsman comes, he alone cannot stand against me.”
Tobias tilted his head with a genuinely disapproving expression. The army of well over a thousand, the support of the archmage. On the other hand, there was only one opponent, so from Tobias’ point of view, it was reasonable to think that it was a fight that he could not lose.
“talk too much.”
“Cluck, cluck, when you get older, there’s a lot of gossip.”
Demonic energy had been pouring out from the gates of hell and staining the land, and the air was already full of demonic energy and sticky.
And in such an environment, the Heavenly Demon Demon Demonstration was at its best.
Every time Carol took a step, the red cloud of demonic energy changed into the black cloud of the Heavenly Demon God.
“This… what the hell did…?”
As if Tobias was surprised by this incomprehensible phenomenon, he hurriedly whipped his staff to create several black spheres and shoot them out, but they disappeared without a trace with a single stroke of the black lightning that Carol lightly swung.
“That sword is not normal.”
As Tobias commanded, they manipulated the army to surround Carol. Hundreds of flesh monsters fired tentacles at the same time, and the skeletons rushed at them as if grabbing their legs.
thud!
I couldn’t even get close to the treasure of the Heavenly Demon’s lordship, which was loaded with my will, and my bones turned into powder and scattered, and the flesh burst out spewing blood.
Squeezing in all directions, Carol moved to the center of the Hell Gate and stood impatiently, grabbed the Black Lightning in reverse and thrust it into the ground.
There were no nine-tailed foxes in Murim, but monsters did exist. Creatures affected by demonic energy in the demonic regions near Shinkyo often turned into strange monsters, and since all kinds of unknown monsters appeared, it was also the duty of Shinji warriors to eradicate them.
Suddenly, the pitch-black energy of the Heavenly Demon Spirit became stronger than the red demonic energy in the air.
‘This is enough.’
Blocking all the approaching forces of monsters and Tobias’ desperate magic with self-defense and magical powers, Carol grabbed Black Lightning again.
Bongma sword type
There was a sword that could only be used by the religious leaders who had mastered the Heavenly Demon Art.
Seal of the Three Heavenly Gods
That sword was a human sword that fought against gods and demons.
Thirty-three swords made of pitch-black force surrounded the earth and manifested in the air.
Kugu Palace—!
It resonated with the Black Lightning, crushing all demonic beings that existed in this place.
“This… what is this?”
In the chaos where the ground exploded, blood welled up, and bone powder fluttered, Carol pulled out the Black Lightning and slowly approached Tobias.
The two knights guarding Tobias, who had endured even the sword, staggered and attacked Carol, but their whole bodies exploded and crawled on the floor with a light slash.
“Don’t swear. From now on, the name Diabolus Pretum will not be found in this world.”
“Unbelievable…”
The immense career contained in Carol’s sword weighed down Tobias’ entire body, and in the process of destroying his entire body.
Only then did Tobias realize. What monster did you touch?
‘I must warn you…’
In his fading consciousness, he tried to do something somehow, but there was nothing Tobias could do.
Soon there was not even a trace of Tobias’ presence left around the lake.
