The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 379

Chapter 379

I wondered if Charlotte’s condition was irreversible, but I learned new information that she had improved a long time ago.

So now it is time to return to this purpose.

Magic that can be useful in dungeon management. Or a spell to catch the Cantus Magna. Both Ellerith and Lucinil selected and brought magic books.

“I was curious about the magic used in this underground labyrinth.”

It is a labyrinth that cannot be entered unless it is a designated person.

“If you install this kind of labyrinth in the dungeon where you decide to run it, you can make the adventurers wander and send them back without killing them.”

“Because Elleris is so consistent.”

Lucinil smiled coyly as she looked at Elleris, who had chosen a magic that could create a lot of survivors in order to somehow reduce the loss of life.

Ellerith slightly narrowed her brows at Lucinil’s words.

“The reason Lucinil Black Order and we run the dungeon is not to build notoriety, but to spread the fame of the dungeon itself so that Cantus Magna can approach it as quickly as possible. So, the more survivors who haven’t made it to the end of the dungeon but return with a very valuable reward, the better, right? Will the rumors spread more quickly and surely?”

The purpose might be to reduce human casualties, but Lucinil’s eyes widened at Ellerith’s words that the more survivors were faithful to the purpose.

“Ah, yes, you would.”

“Do you want to get scolded?”

“Oh no… … yo. this.”

As Ellerith seemed to be slightly straight, Lucinil slumped and straightened up quickly.

Ellerith was interested in the labyrinth built under the demon castle.

A labyrinth that is constantly being reconstructed and makes people wander. In the first place, it is a labyrinth with no exit.

Elleris set a large book down on the table.

“As this is the real exit of the labyrinth, I thought there would of course be a magic book that could create this labyrinth, but it did exist.”

[Quantum maze]

Quantum mechanics… … .

Are you there… … ?

Magic quantum science or something… … ?

What is it?

In this case, the Lucille way of thinking is the best.

I thought it was just like that.

* * *

“When it comes to maze design, I don’t think there’s anything quite so magical.”

“I can think of this… … .”

Ellerith and Lucinil looked through the Quantum Maze’s spell book and couldn’t contain their admiration. Of course, I couldn’t make out what was what even when I looked at the complexly drawn magic circles and formulas.

And the labyrinth blocking the way to this bunker.

“Actually, it has the properties of a complex magic device in which numerous magics are combined. The form of a barrier was used to defend against outside interference, and the form of dimensional magic was used for the internal structure, including sending all those who entered to another path, and the endless regeneration and rebuilding of structures and traps in it was magic crafting and internal It is a mixture of summoning magic and alchemy to generate monsters.”

“Honestly, even with this magic alone, you’d be able to hold out for 10 years?”

“Although there must be a premise that you understand and build it properly.”

“It is.”

It is not a simple magic to design a maze, but a labyrinth of the highest level with numerous magics combined.

Magic was designed so that there was no exit in the first place, so all efforts to find an exit were in vain.

The way the dungeon is randomly formed each time you enter it. Rather, it was a concept that was not very foreign to me.

“Isn’t it possible that Kantus Magna covets this Quantum Maze itself?”

“There is no chance of that.”

The field of magic used to build this labyrinth is also enormous, so it must be the perfect magic for Cantus Magna to covet.

Originally, it would be a magic that makes intruders wander and die, but depending on the design, it can make people wander a little and then return.

There is no such thing as an inevitable reason that human casualties must occur. As Ellerith says, the more survivors there are, the more rumors about the endless labyrinth will spread, and someone might get a pre-arranged reward, making them believe that there are more powerful treasures in the depths of the labyrinth.

“What are the chances of being ruined?”

Of course, you shouldn’t just believe too much. There are no absolutes in the world, so there is a possibility that even a labyrinth without an exit can be pierced. Whether it’s an internal method or an external method.

Lucinil answered my question.

“There is no physical way, either inside or outside. Even with magical means, it seems impossible unless certain conditions are found out.”

“Are you saying it’s difficult anyway?”

“yes. And in the first place, this labyrinth itself wouldn’t eat people, but it would be a way to moderately raise the medicine and send them back. There must be only a few people who can find out the true identity of this labyrinth. In the first place, labyrinths are designed not to kill people, but to spill them to another place without reaching the desired destination.”

The magic called Quantum Maze. It is already very powerful and mysterious magic itself, so there is a possibility that Cantus Magna covets it.

And numerous other spellbooks that will be sprinkled as bait.

I couldn’t help but be nervous.

This is such a big adventure.

If we and the Black Order lose everything to Kantus Magna, Akasha’s completion may be accelerated. No one knows what will happen then.

In a nervous but unknown situation, I watched as Ellerith and Lucinil looked through the spellbook.

* * *

Elerith has returned to the ancient city of Epiax and Lucinil will contact the Black Order with Antirianus.

The artificially created dungeon and the original owner, the lich, are cooperating half-forcefully, and there is one person in charge of the order side and one person in charge of our side, Antirianus, respectively.

From now on, I can turn off my mind. If Kantus Magna visits, it is a situation where an all-out war may break out between them in preparation for that situation.

If that actually happened, I wouldn’t be of much help.

A lich’s tomb found in the Dark Lands.

And a labyrinth that will soon be built there.

Could rumors about him spread to the ecliptic?

There is no telling how long it will take for Cantus Magna to bite the bait.

All I can do now is wait.

And another income one.

Charlotte’s condition is that no further action is required.

“The research is going well, but the contents are too complicated to analyze.”

I had such a conversation over tea with Charlotte in the B class dormitory. I now know that research into the art of seduction won’t do Charlotte any good.

Lucinil probably knows some things because he actually did a lot of experiments, not at the level of books.

Charlotte is fine now. He just has to accept that he has become one with the demon king.

to put it bluntly.

There are now two demon kings in this world.

me.

And Charlotte, who has fused with the spirit of Valier the predecessor.

Although she doesn’t have horns, can Charlotte really use her ability to control demons?

Although he did not master magic like the demon king, he was able to use the power of using the shadow, an ability that the demon king embodied.

Judging from the fact that I don’t have that kind of power, it must have been a special ability possessed only by the previous demon king Bali.

I like to know that Charlotte’s condition is already better, and Charlotte looks good to think that seduction can stabilize her condition.

How do I get Charlotte to accept that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the power consuming her from time to time?

“… … .”

Charlotte’s complexion darkened as she looked across the terrace.

I looked over there and saw Lianna and Cliff running along the promenade.

The revolutionary power passed into the hands of Owen de Getmora, and indeed of the imperial family.

Even Charlotte would know that Riana’s vengeance was directed in the wrong direction.

Apart from deciding to hate the current Demon King, Liana is just being deceived.

Charlotte gave me no explanation.

“Anyway, we’ll be seniors soon.”

said Charlotte, forcing a bright expression on her face.

The winter vacation, where many things were intertwined, was now nearing its end.

We are in the 2nd grade.

And first graders will come in.

To be honest, I have no interest in first graders. Because there are so many things I have to think about because I’m living a senior-junior life.

“What kind of kids are they?”

However, I liked seeing Charlotte smiling while wondering what kind of children the juniors would be.

But somehow.

It occurred to me that the smile seemed a bit clumsy.

* * *

The end of winter vacation is right around the corner.

Each person’s desire to become stronger was lit in their own way. It was for revenge, there was also to help that revenge, and there was also the mindset of protecting something.

Close combat majors were in good shape in that respect.

– Kaang!

“Quit!”

“It’s a power you’re not familiar with yet, Ludwig. If you don’t use it in moderation, it will ruin your body.”

“yes!”

Saviolin Tana was always there as housekeeper and could teach us anytime.

There are now four people who can enhance magical power.

Me Ellen Cliffman and even Ludwig.

Originally, only Ludwig was in a position to persistently bully Saviolin Tana, but each started learning swordsmanship from Saviolin Tana.

In Ellen’s case, her schedule was messed up due to the Miss Temple contest, so she couldn’t receive lessons and then went back to her hometown. Although she ran into Saviolin Tana because of lack of time, the point of sharing swords was very late.

This time, Scarlett was not there because she said she would check only those who could enhance magical power.

Of course, there are ups and downs in cold water, and Cliffman and Ludwig were still rough and clumsy in their magical power enhancement.

Saviolin Tana originally treated Ludwig moderately, calling him a newbie.

However, the magical power enhancement was awakened out of nowhere. In addition, Cliffman was added. After learning that Ludwig and Cliffman’s qualities were unusual, Saviolin Tana’s teachings were also quite serious.

Since you never know when a big fight will break out, it seems that training talent is something she has to do even if she isn’t a full-time teacher at Temple.

“What do you mean by focusing on strengthening magical power and neglecting what you can actually see? See the invisible and the visible.”

“You use your magic power too sparingly. No one has infinite magical power. The absolute value of horsepower is not important. Keep in mind that true destructive power arises from the precision and sophistication of magical power use. Even if you use the same power, depending on the sophistication of the use, you may be able to break the rock or rather only your hand may hurt.”

“The physical defense power of magic enhancement is of a different quality from the barrier used by magicians. They construct the shape of the defense field as efficiently as possible. That’s why there are magic and casting. However, the defense power due to magical power enhancement is to obtain the defense power through the release of pure power. Even if the same amount of magical power is used, the defense power itself cannot be compared to that of a magical shield. keep in mind There are situations where you can get hit and there are situations where you shouldn’t be hit, and as a result, if you invest too much strength in defense, your endurance will decrease.”

“In a situation that assumes the use of magical power enhancement, swordsmanship needs to be overhauled from the ground up. There are times when you have to allow and outwit things that you should never have allowed until now, and there are still attacks that you should not allow. Figure out the weight focus of your enemy’s attacks. The purpose of swordsmanship is to take the life of the opponent anyway.”

“You’re inexperienced. After you get used to strengthening your magic power, you should proceed to the next step. Ludwig.”

“Let’s try some more.”

“No, the problem caused by excessive use of magical power enhancement is not muscle pain. Resting is not an invitation, it is an order. rest.”

“Yes that… … . yes.”

Saviolin Tana was looking at Ludwig and Cliff in a little more detail than he had been giving them a few short slaps.

Of course, there was a limit to what he could teach because he wasn’t used to magical power enhancement yet.

“You are very used to it. Your skills grow very quickly, Reinhardt.”

“good. good night. Is it possible to fine-tune the output? Doubling the defense power and then reducing it by half… … . oh yes It works. excellent.”

“Of course, the technology itself is still lacking, but it can be said that it is a remarkable growth. In particular, magical power enhancement is already at the level of an expert.”

“In most situations, if your skill level is around 4, it will be easy to deal with people who can’t use magic enhancement, but there are cases where you can be defeated by people who don’t know how to use magic enhancement… … . Hmm, of course, that happens at the beginner level of magical power enhancement, so it wouldn’t happen to you. sorry. I was talking nonsense. forget it.”

“Becoming a sword master will come soon.”

teacher?

It’s hard to bear because it’s too much?

His attitude has changed a little from before, but he still favored me to the extreme.

“… … .”

Ellen, who was watching it, was quietly watching what Tana and I were doing.

* * *

In the first place, today was Dalian, which was decided to only look at people who can enhance magical power.

The venue is the B-class gymnasium.

Ludwig first, then Cliffman next.

The last one was Ellen.

We bumped into each other until we were all exhausted, so the three of us sat on the wall of the arena waiting for the final match to begin.

“ha… … . I am still far away.”

Ludwig draped a towel around his neck and drank water from the canteen to wipe away his sweat.

“… … I know.”

Cliffman also muttered blankly.

Although he realized the magic power enhancement, it is clear that he is no better than me who received rave reviews, and it is certain that he is no better than Ellen over there.

and the demon king.

Ludwig and Cliffman must have thought that the Demon King must be more threatening than Saviolin Tana, who is equal to the absolute in front of us now.

“Let’s do our best.”

Ludwig looked at Cliffman and said that calmly, and Cliffman became a bit dumbfounded.

The two had little contact. Ludwig also has an easygoing personality.

However, now the two have a commonality of hostility toward the demon king.

“uh… … . huh. okay.”

Cliffman nodded at Ludwig’s words.

The Demon King unites mankind.

The presence of enemies is an important device to promote solidarity.

Just as I used it, Bertus also used it. Watching such arrangements take place even in such a small relationship, it became a complex feeling that was difficult to describe.

I look at the confrontation between Ellen and Tana.

Seeing the waves of blue mana dyeing Ellen’s body, Tana calmly concentrated her strength.

– Phat!

– Kaang!

Ellen’s fierce sword attack is shed by Tana and received.

Stabbing deflects the sword, slashing parrying it, and it doesn’t even react to paint.

Tana was taking Ellen’s attack without moving a single step from her seat.

And I know it because I fought sword to sword with Ellen.

Of course, Ellen doesn’t just use a sword. After guiding the opponent’s sword in a one-handed sword posture, he grabs the collar with his free hand or uses kicks as much as he wants.

Watching the trajectory of Tana’s sword, which shed her stabbing to the right, Ellen stretched out her left hand and tried to grab Tana by the collar.

The right hand was blocked. That’s why I was aiming for the gap where I couldn’t respond for a very short time.

But, of course, just as Ellen’s left hand is empty, Tana’s left hand is also empty.

Terrifyingly, Tana tried to snatch Ellen’s outstretched left wrist with her left hand.

Ellen jumped at Tana as if she knew even that.

Fake on fake on fake.

So, not at the level of jumping in, but literally bouncing off the body as if almost being embraced.

– Boom!

“evil!”

“!”

“!”

“?”

He hit Tana on the forehead.

– Knocked up!

As if this was unexpected, Saviolin Tana, who fell backwards with a bump on her butt, held her forehead and opened her mouth in a daze.

“????”

‘what?’

‘What happened to me?’

‘What are you doing?’

‘what’s this?’

‘What is he?’

Complex emotions appeared on Tana’s face.

Ellen won the round with an unexpected headbutt.

It’s true that I was offended.

how to say

I was dumbfounded because I didn’t know Ellen would do such a thing.
