The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy chapter 7

Episode 7

“… … done.”

I looked back with a satisfied smile.

He succeeded in escaping from the cramped tent.

An inexplicable sense of liberation felt even though I had just left the room.

But that feeling didn’t last long.

‘Living?’

I quickly turned around.

Something bigger than I expected was lurking right in front of me.

Kurung… ‥. Kurung… … .

A wolf stone statue made of rock.

I didn’t notice it when I was in the room, but when I looked closer, I could clearly see the outline.

Compared to my body, it looked dozens of times better.

In addition, the result of winning and losing was also known.

‘This is unconditional… … .’

win

not me, he

While swallowing dry saliva and moving the neck belt.

– Intruder… … .

The rock wolf dipped stones from its mouth and bared its teeth.

… … Could that be a saliva?

Although made of stone, he uselessly tries to represent a real wolf.

The sight was rather creepy.

Should I say it’s similar to the uncanny valley?

– I will kill you… … .

The rock wolf let out a bloody sound and tore open its mouth.

I freaked out and distanced myself.

The momentum to tear me apart with fangs and chew me to death with molars at any moment.

The prediction was correct.

Just-. Just-.

As soon as I stepped back, the rock wolf ripped the floor where I was and chewed it up.

It was the first time I realized that something made of stone can be so ferocious.

can i win… … .

For a while, such doubts lingered.

‘I’ll have to try it.’

It is impossible to cower in fear.

Shouldn’t we do everything we can?

“appointed.”

Rocks that fall whenever he moves.

Among them, I targeted the stone closest to him.

When the arrows stretched out and finally met.

“movement.”

Moment-.

the world has turned

“hook.”

I took a short breath.

The rock wolf’s abdomen was visible.

I flinched at the moment, but quickly came to my senses and grabbed the dagger.

“die!”

I threw a dagger at the boat of the guy who couldn’t avoid it.

Tang.

However, the dagger did not tear through the skin of the stomach and bounced off.

I guessed it, but I didn’t think it would even give me a scratch.

I give up on attacking him by force.

“after… … .”

There was no time to hesitate.

The rock wolf, which had begun to move, opened its eyes and scattered ferocious energy at me.

I hastily spun the accident.

“appointed-.”

I set the stone inside the curtain as a target and developed a location exchange.

“movement.”

The position of the stone and my body were reversed.

bang-.

And his huge front paws swung down on the spot.

Saa… … .

A stone that turns into powder and flutters.

The neck of the neck moved continuously.

… … Had I been hit by that attack, I would have turned into human jerky.

Kurung-! Kurung-!

The rock wolf was furious when I disappeared from his sight.

He stomped his huge feet on the ground and let out a cry.

I watched the rock wolf closely in the tent.

‘As expected, I can’t inflict a single scratch on him with a dagger.’

Sorry but this is reality.

My attack doesn’t do any meaningful damage to him.

Even small damage cannot be dealt with life or dark traits.

That’s because those traits were always supporting roles.

Interest and immersion also reflect personality, and have nothing to do with attack skills.

“Something like a stone is giving me trouble… … .”

It was better to deal with humans.

Humans do have weaknesses, but what weaknesses do stone statues have?

for a moment.

human?

“… … I think it will work.”

A good plan flashed in my mind.

Immediately, the status window was summoned.

[Assen Adele]

: Tendency – [ Chaos ]

: Talent – [ Location exchange ‘Ⅰ’ ]

[Position Exchange] is the ability to exchange positions with the object the arrow touches.

In other words, it cannot be used on living things, but it can change the position of any inanimate object.

And that Guardian… … .

‘It is highly likely to be inanimate.’

The guardians of the unexplored region included monsters such as orcs and goblins, and there were also guardians who operated with magical devices.

The rock wolf was most likely the latter. My feelings when I was a writer are saying that.

But in case you don’t know, let’s experiment first.

“appointed.”

I unfurled an arrow at the rock wolf.

If the arrow doesn’t lead to it, the rock wolf will be a creature.

If connected, it proves that the rock wolf is inanimate.

As time passed, the results appeared.

“done.”

A faint arc was drawn on the corner of his mouth.

A huge arrow clearly existed between the rock wolf and me.

It has been confirmed that rock wolves are inanimate.

As soon as I confirmed that -.

“movement.”

I used location exchange.

“Is it a success?”

Before I knew it, my body was out of the tent.

On the other hand, the Rock Wolf, who switched positions with me, struggled inside the tent.

Kurung-! Kurung-!

A rock wolf that beats the tent relentlessly.

However, the curtain only absorbed the shock and returned it as it was.

Kurung-!

The rock wolf didn’t stop even though he knew his body would break every time he hit the curtain.

It looked foolish, but it reminded me of a berserker and gave me goosebumps somewhere.

‘Let’s go.’

I hurriedly moved.

He was never in a hurry because he was afraid of the rock wolf.

Ten minutes passed like that.

‘Is this a tent again?’

The blue curtain was blocking me again.

It’s not like I came back the way I came from like a maze or something like that.

Worried about it, I looked back and saw a rock wolf knocking on the tent.

very far there.

I guess I guessed wrong.

‘then… … .’

There was a high probability that it was the curtain dividing the current square from the next square.

This shroud would have disappeared if the rock wolf had died, but it still exists because you only neutralized it without killing it.

Structure that leads to the next stage after clearing the stage.

But I have the ability to skip stages.

‘I have to hit the ball.’

To me, a tent is a strong defense, not an obstacle.

If you wait too long, the rock wolf might throw itself into the tent and die.

Then the veil in front of you will also disappear.

I had to move before that.

I turned my gaze and looked inside the tent.

“It’s a mountain beyond a mountain.”

Another monster lurked inside the tent.

Keruk-. Keruk-.

At first glance, a stone statue that looked like a praying mantis twitched its legs.

As the second Guardian, it will be stronger than the Rock Wolf, but I don’t have to deal with it myself, right?

Like the rock wolf, that praying mantis is likely to be inanimate.

“appointed.”

He extended an arrow towards the mantis.

and the results shown.

Again, it was as I expected.

‘Okay.’

The arrow I showed was connected in a straight line with that wart.

The praying mantis, like the rock wolf, also meant inanimate.

I used location exchange as is.

“movement.”

shook-.

The praying mantis and my location changed.

Looking back in that state, I saw a praying mantis trapped in a veil without knowing why.

Keruk-?

The praying mantis looked around left and right as if he was quite embarrassed.

Then, when my eyes met, I started to get furious.

Like the rock wolf, it also roars while tapping the tent with its sharp paws.

My body would be torn like a piece of paper if I got caught on that forepaw.

but.

‘This is the story of when he came out of the tent.’

I don’t know how sturdy the shroud is, but it should be enough to buy you some time.

In the meantime, let’s get away from him.

I watched the praying mantis for a while, then kicked off the seat and ran.

… … how many minutes have passed

“There is nothing this time.”

His expression hardened as another veil appeared.

Unlike before, there are no monsters in Khan.

First of all, I exchanged the location with the stone in the square.

However, I felt a sense of incongruity in moving my steps.

Suk.

I grabbed a stone that was lying around.

Then, it was thrown toward the front of the long stone chamber.

After a while, it was the moment when a stone flew in a parabola and fell to the floor.

bang!

Suddenly there is a roar and two rocks protruding from the wall.

A lump of stone caught between the rocks turned into a handful of powder.

‘… … .’

crazy.

It’s a trap all of a sudden.

My head was dizzy at the unexpected change.

Fortunately, it was not difficult to figure out the conditions for triggering the trap.

contact with the floor.

It seemed that this was the only trap triggering condition.

The problem is the distance from here to the next curtain.

Even if I couldn’t, there was no way to move a distance of hundreds of meters at once.

‘Is it worth a try?’

After thinking for a while, I picked up the stones around me and held them in my arms.

and.

swish-.

He threw the stone again.

before the boulder hits the ground.

Expand position exchange and move.

“movement.”

My body floating in the air.

Before my body fell to the floor, I threw the stone I had packed with all my might.

Then, it exchanges positions with the stone again.

‘I have only six stones.’

Anything more than that was too heavy for me to carry.

It may seem lacking, though.

‘This alone is possible.’

So far, the distance from one shroud to another has been uniform.

Calculating the distance and throwing a stone was nothing.

Adele’s extensive knowledge is to be used in times like these.

By the time I consumed all six stones like that.

“… … This.”

A very large curtain appeared in front of me.

It was thicker than usual, and even had certain letters engraved on it.

First of all, I used the position exchange to enter the veil.

Then the text appears larger.

Welcome to the end.

“What is this?”

For a moment, he put on a puzzled expression.

Welcome to the end.

It was something I couldn’t understand.

Wasn’t this unexplored area built for the purpose of protecting the treasure?

Then I should write a letter cursing the intruder, why say welcome.

… … Maybe it’s because it’s a demon?

It seems that there are quite a few people who have lost their taste.

well, that’s it

‘Is this the last time?’

Move carefully as it is the last.

Let’s see… … .

A single black figure visible from within the Veil.

I opened my eyes wide and focused my eyesight.

and looked closely

The last guessed guardian was not an ordinary monster.

‘Death Knight.’

A skeleton with red eyes perched on a huge rock.

Seeing that the Death Knight was there, it seemed clear that this was the Demon World.

It felt like a level of momentum comparable to that of Peltz.

However, the Death Knight is nothing but the undead. It means inanimate.

Welcome here… … .

“appointed.”

He looked at the Death Knight, who hadn’t finished speaking yet, and drew an arrow on the floor with a gloomy smile like a villain.

From nob le mt l dot com

No matter how strong you are, what’s the use if you don’t deal with it?

“movement.”

shook-.

Death Knight and my location have changed.

A truly heartbreaking victory.

Anyway, it’s all about winning.

“good night… … .”

Intoxicated with victory, he walked around the Khan where the Death Knight was.

It was very wide, probably because it was the square where the boss monster was.

By the way, after that.

“Is it a box?”

It was a treasure chest to store unexplored things.

A box engraved with a large black dragon made of unknown ore.

Looking at it, I frowned.

‘If it’s a black dragon decoration.’

It was a vague feeling.

Obviously, I remember seeing it somewhere.

Where did you see… … .

‘It’s probably not a pattern that humans use.’

Humans consider black dragons to be ominous, so it is clear that they belong to the demons.

‘Shall we sort it out?’

This place is presumed to be an unexplored land created by a high-ranking demon family.

If so, the black dragon pattern would have something to do with it.

If so, is there a family that uses the black dragon pattern among the high-ranking demon families?

Before writing the novel, I had created settings for all kinds of demonic families, saying that I would write a charming villain.

However, after writing the novel, it was all discarded.

… … So I didn’t remember very well.

There were too many high-ranking demons, and they didn’t play an important role in my novel.

If that’s what I remember… … .

‘The seven highest-ranking demon families who were the villains next to Adele.’

called the seven sins

sloth.

Pride.

stinginess.

jealousy.

lust.

avarice.

anger.

The Seven Deadly Sins are the characteristics of each of the seven families.

I don’t know everything about the seven families.

However, even so, it did not mean that I had forgotten all the settings that I once painstakingly created.

… … For example.

“This pattern is similar to the one used by the Pride family.”

He is ‘evil’ and ‘arrogant’ like a black dragon.

In that sense, the Barares family of pride uses the black dragon pattern… … .

for a moment.

“… … crazy.”

An artificial unexplored land created by a high-ranking demon.

And the black dragon pattern of pride.

My face hardened at the ominous thoughts that ran through my mind.
