243. last break (5)
The former and current principals each packed their equipment and secretly left the academy.
This case is not common.
Normally, I would have sent a subordinate or another professor to investigate, but the situation was like this, so I had no choice but to go out on my own.
Now that the Demon King has been resurrected and the Demon Realm is being rebuilt… … . Because there aren’t that many people who are trustworthy.
In an instant, the two crossed the night sky.
The place we arrived soon was the field outside the academy.
It was just a seemingly peaceful natural landscape with hills large and small, rocks and forests large and small.
However… … .
“As expected, this is the right place.”
“Does the orb react?”
“That’s right.”
The simple orb device made by Pompeius clearly informed that there was a strong energy reaction here.
As they got closer, the color of the markings on the screen became much darker. I quickly realized that even Vemillion, who didn’t know much about the orb system, was not serious.
“Can you tell me exactly what it is?”
Bemillion asked.
He also vaguely sensed a strange aura, but it was because it was an energy that existed deep in the ground, so he couldn’t distinguish it precisely.
“Um, no. I’ll have to dig this up and check it myself. It’s a bit dangerous though!”
Pompeius laughs at some pretty dangerous things. His stomach chugged vigorously. There was no sense of danger at all.
Silence fell for a moment.
There might be something down here.
It would be better if it was lava or a newly born spirit vein, but if this energy caught in the orb is ‘magic’, the situation becomes too troublesome.
It obviously means that the academy is going to be invaded.
“Let’s check it out.”
Of course, it may be raining. Because you have to see everything with your own eyes.
“Could you step back for a moment?”
As Vemillion chanted, his eyes filled with stars.
The ensuing vortex of magical power.
Vemillion’s offensive magic, ‘Star Vortex’, hit the ground.

Kwa-kwa-kwa–!
Dirt and rocks scattered. Pompey’s magic shield device blocked the flying fragments. Soon after, the vortex of stars in Vemilion gradually faded.
“It is done.”
There was a huge hole in the ground. The powerful Vemillion’s magic penetrated at least 100m.
“This… … !”
“Cuck, damn it.”
A hole was made, and after a while, the two immediately reacted the same way.
It was because I could feel the identity of the powerful energy reaction that was passing below me without having to check it with my eyes.
no. I didn’t even have to feel it.
This frighteningly toxic stench.
This was a phenomenon that appeared when the ‘magic’ recorded in the ancient literature was liquid. It was clearly the power of the Demon King.
The two looked down the hole, full of concern. The light of the moon and stars shone softly below.
Flowing is a purple river.
It was a demonic water that materialized the thoughts of ‘Evil’ and swallowed everything around it.
“When did you do something like this… … !”
It was a horrifying situation.
He was digging the ground from that far away and sending demonic beasts to the academy!
If the Demon King did this after he was resurrected, the speed would be faster than expected.
At this speed, there was less than a week left before the demons arrived right under the academy.
“How do you see it? Principal Vemillion.”
“Well… … . Not good. If we leave it as it is, the foundation of the academy could collapse and the entire building could go underground.”
“Or, the monster army could invade the academy through this underground passage.”
There are several possibilities.
If you use the Witchbeast, the movement speed of the monsters doubles, so if you are invaded, you may be helpless, or the academy may be completely destroyed.
In fact, it would swallow the future of the human kingdom entirely, and if the academy were to fall, there would be no more hope.
If the demon king raised an army, it was as if he was caught off guard because he expected the royal castle.
“I must hurry up and prepare.”
“I’d be glad if I found out now thanks to the Orb.”
If it hadn’t been for the orb, I wouldn’t have noticed until the demon beast engulfed the academy grounds.
It was a godsend that Aren kept Pompey in the academy until the end.
“I will hurry back and activate the orb’s emergency defenses.”
“Yes, and please summon all the staff immediately, and send all remaining cadets home.”
“What about the principal?”
Above all, there are people who need to know this quickly. The first person Vemillion came to mind was Aren Blackfire.
I don’t know why, but I thought it was right to tell him first.
“I’ll have to let those young friends know too.”
“okay. Please.”
* * *
Although he had the heavy duty of subjugating the demon lord, there was no need to be choked 24 hours a day.
Sometimes you have to open your breath to have the strength to fight for a long time.
In that sense, everyone was enjoying the current campfire by putting their worries aside for a while.
Hoya sings and Ackerman dances.
When the two, who act as clowns in effect, liven up the atmosphere, Siana, Cain, and Bell gather around Aren and talk happily hahahaha.
Seeing this, Hoya feels a bit bad, but soon shakes his head and has new hope.
‘If I wear the title of the hero who killed the demon king, I’ll become popular too!!’
It was a solid plan in its own right.
It was already wrong to steal the heart of Cain Abella against a guy like that parasitic brother. It will probably be in the realm of impossible in the next life.
After all, there are half women in the world. There is no need to risk your life for Cain.
Of course, Cain is a woman worth that much, but… … He doesn’t even look at Hoya, so what can he do?
The more this happens, the more Hoya’s combat power increases.
‘Demon king son of a bitch! I will kill you!’
As if he had read Hoya’s thoughts, Ponte, who was wiping the demonic spear, shook his head.
Meanwhile, the three women surrounding Aren had been staring at the dancing bonfire without saying a word.
On the outside, everyone was smiling and seemed to be enjoying this peaceful time, but the real heart was different.
Maybe the time will never come again after this fight.
The time to stay peacefully by the man you love may end now.
I didn’t want to be stressed while supporting, roasting, and checking each other during such a precious time.
As if everyone agreed on that point, for the first time, they were silently standing by Aren’s side.
All three of them had faces that made me want to shed tears.
I pretend to be bright, but I have to go down a really dangerous road. A colleague who has been with you so far may die. It’s a daunting task for these young guys to handle.
Sensing this uncomfortable air current, Aren sighed quietly and thought about how to soothe her.
You are the only one who knows what will happen next.
After all, no one dies in the process of fighting. I don’t know if things will go wrong because of me after that.
“everything will be alright.”
So now I have no choice but to talk about it.
At least because they are good children who believe in what they say.
“… … yes.”
Shiana answered helplessly. Cain and Bell kept their mouths shut and just nodded.
It’s still not enough.
It seemed like a bigger fight was needed.
‘It would have been nice if I had a personality or specialty like this.’
Aren, who was born in a dark place, did not have the talent to inspire fighting in times like this.
This is where Ackerman specializes. In the game, when he says a word, everyone is moved by him and goes ‘Ohhhh!’ I exerted my strength.
Instead, Aren learned how to power these guys in his own way.
That’s right–
“Shall we go to the sea together later? Eat delicious food too.”
travel, food and aren.
The three ladies are probably my three favorites.
‘Together.’
‘ocean.’
‘food.’
I included it all in one sentence and hit it.
“Okay!”
“Not bad.”
“like… … . I will definitely follow you.”
The effect was amazing! Now Aren realized how to train them in his own way.
Finally, the three women started laughing.
It was far better to think of a hopeful future than a bleak thought. It was an unbelievable comment that the melancholy and sullenness came from Aren’s passive head.
“Let’s make a pitja fire pit and eat pitja!”
“Firepit… … ? That, then!”
“Where will the sea go? There is also a place where our family’s villa is located.”
“That is good. How many villas does Cain have?”
“There will be about 20 of them throughout the kingdom.”
“I guess I’ll have to get permission from the cardinals too… … !”
“I will tell Cardinal Livius.”
Pleasant talk passed. It was a future that made me smile just by imagining it.
“Everyone is gathered! thank god.”
Then, suddenly, Vemillion appeared. It was leap magic.
Looking at the expression, it was a very tense face.
It was a splash of cold water when the festive atmosphere was just ripe.
“principal… … ?”
“Guys, get together for a while. It is an emergency.”
――!
At this time, there were not many situations in which Vemilion could say that it was an emergency.
As expected, it was a sad news about the demon king.
“The demonic beast is flowing through the basement.”
.
.
.
.
.
It was an emergency.
According to Vemillion, the demonic beast penetrating the underground is right in front of the academy.
It wasn’t normal.
Because demonic water is a terrible substance that turns a normal place into a home ground where demons and monsters can play.
If it flows under the academy through the underground, it is no different than the academy becoming the demon realm.
The heart of the kingdom turns into a demon world overnight. It wasn’t usually serious.
If the Demon Realm suddenly arises in the middle of Aeonia, its adverse effects will be unbearable.
Originally, a large spiritual vein flows in the basement of the academy. If the most magical land within the kingdom’s territory is eaten by the Demon Legion, it is obvious how much more powerful they will become.
‘It’s so different from a game.’
Originally, the main frame is that the party of warriors goes on an expedition to the demon world, and the monster army invades the capital.
However, the sudden appearance of the demon leads the story in a completely different direction.
What is the devil’s intention?
Invading the academy through a demon?
Or descend directly to the academy and use it as a demonic base?
Or is this also a trick?
Given this situation, it is difficult to accurately judge whether it would be right to defend the academy.
I went on an expedition to the demon realm, but the demon king could appear at the academy.
At that time, if we, who will stop the demon lord, are away, the situation will get out of hand.
‘What kind of plan is this?’
While thinking deeply, other friends were also arguing.
“We must protect the academy! This is our house.”
“Someone has to cut the head of the demon king, and that role is us. If you’re stuck here, that’s like helping the demon lord.”
“The Demon King’s intentions are unclear. I cannot move recklessly.”
Everyone had the same thoughts as me.
It was a situation where it was not easy to decide whether to wait for the invasion of the demon king at the academy or to go on an expedition to the demon world because the intention of the demon king was unknown.
The division of the warrior party.
Perhaps this was the devil’s intention.
At least this should be prevented.
I stared at Siana, who was still silent at this moment. With a calm expression on her face, Sianna silently watched the people’s arguing.
“Siana.”
“… … yes?”
“You know?”
Sianna saw my death.
That is, to see the future. If so, it means that everyone knows what the consequences of the demonic beast that penetrated the basement of the academy.
Then, it would be nice if Siana opened her mouth, but Siana kept her mouth shut. I asked because I was curious.
“How is it going?”
Shiana slowly turned her head towards me. Then he said with a bitter smile.
“It depends on Aren’s choice.”
“… … ?”
“You mean the future depends on what I do?”
“yes.”
From now on, my knowledge of the future was useless.

Kill the devil After that, either I die or my friends die. I only know this terrible ending.
‘Then, does that mean that the final outcome is determined by my actions?’
Not sure, but right now there is no other way.
I don’t know the future knowledge, but the knowledge of this world view is still overflowing. Even that was not denied.
I have to make the best choice I can.
“Siana, thank you.”
Thanks to Siana, my thoughts have been sorted out to some extent.
From now on, I have to solve the situation purely with my personal skills and knowledge. Rather, I decided to play the DLC.
Extra storage, but the fact that I’m a stagnant player doesn’t change.
That much, it’s easy to break through.
I will not be swayed by the demon king’s intentions.
“everyone.”
He squeezed through the crowd and drew attention.
“Oh, Aren!”
Ackerman smiled as if he had waited.
“What do you think?”
Ponte crossed his arms and calmed his excitement. Everyone was looking at me. It was like people waiting for a clear verdict.
“Let’s go to the demon realm.”
made a decision Rather than waiting for a threat that may come at any time from the academy, he actively goes to cut the devil’s head.
“However-!”
“instead.”
“!?”
hooked!
I said, driving the purifier into the ground.
“Through the underground passage through which the monsters were pierced.”
If the demon king invades the academy anyway, he will come through the underground passage.
Conversely, if you go through that road, you will encounter it someday. There is no need to be afraid and wait.
If you don’t know the intention, block all intentions and that’s it.
“You are too dangerous. No, is it possible in the first place?”
“How did you get past the Witchbeast? I heard that it is difficult for humans to move if they step on it, as if they were drowning in a swamp.”
“The risk is too great. You never know what might come out of the basement.”
To humans of this era, demons are substances that could only be encountered through books. Since the demon king was sealed hundreds of years ago, there was virtually no verified information.
But I was different. Because I’ve been through it.
He knows a sure way to purify the demons.
“There is a way.”
“Eh?”
I led Bell to the center. The bell, which was so light, was dragged like a doll.
“The saintess candidate just needs to walk in the lead.”
The human purifier ‘Bell Purifier’ is on our side, what’s the problem?
The path Bell walks is the stairway to heaven, and Bell’s breath is the song of an angel.
It is time for the saintess to do her part.
