The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 434
Chapter 434
Quantum Maze can break through.
However, it is unknown whether Acrich and Antirianus will be able to enter Akasha after breaking through the Quantum Maze.
The important thing is that I had no intention of letting them reach Akasha’s entrance.
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get even the slightest advantage against the Archmage.
But the important thing is Alsbringer, which makes me stronger the stronger the opponent is.
And Tiamata, an artifact optimized for undead warfare.
In addition, Elerith’s assistant.
Through it, over both obstacles, I will reach the end of this story.
Gate avalanche will not happen.
The demon king will quietly disappear.
I will spend the rest of the time taking the name Reinhardt as my real name.
While destroying the seeds of chaos sown in the empire and the continent one by one.
As I bring out the possibility of conflict that I sowed and also because of me, one by one.
You will find peace of mind through world peace.
I still don’t know how to solve the many twisted relationships and lies, but I believe that it will work out somehow.
If I tell the truth to those who feel betrayed through the truth, I will have to think more about how I will tell it.
In the end, I knew that doing nothing was the best thing to do, so I hope that everything will converge to peace as I go through what I have done.
-With a jolt,
Elleris and I opened the door to Akasha.
A long, long hallway.
Someone was standing in the middle of the Quantum Maze.
as if you were waiting
“You are already there, great being.”
An old vampire was smiling at me, holding a skull in his right hand.
“Looks like you already know everything… … .”
It seemed that Antirianus now knew about Akasha as we knew about Akasha.
But before that, the skull in Antirianus’ right hand.
I narrowed my brows while watching it.
“Antyrianus What is that?”
“Ah, are you talking about this… … .”
Antirianus throws it at me.
It felt like rolling rather than attacking.
– Degururu
“If I said it was Akrich, would you know?”
Skeletons rolling down to my feet.
“That was the remnant and leader of Cantus Magna we were looking for. It is the skull of Lucren.”
It turned to powder as it touched my feet and disappeared. The skull, which had been turned into black powder and scattered, did not look ordinary at all.
“What does Antirianus want?”
The Old Believer shook his head at Elerith’s enemy’s mixed voice.
“Sadly, everyone in the Council… … . You misunderstood me too much. Of course I understand… … .”
“… … .”
“There is nothing like that.”
In the old gentleman’s smile, I still couldn’t understand his intentions.
“If there is, didn’t I tell you before?”
“joy.”
“I am fully cooperating with you because I am ready to enjoy both your successes and your failures.”
“It was only because I had to briefly raise Lucren’s hand to find out what Akasha was and where it was in that situation. I had no intention of betraying you.”
“So I knew what Akasha was, and I got rid of the useless Lucren.”
“So I came here to confirm Akasha’s whereabouts. I am not interested in the trivial business of being a god.”
Antirianus was looking at me with a grim smile.
fun.
Are you saying that you are cooperating with me just because of that, and that you have no interest in having a powerful artifact like Akasha?
can not believe it. But Antirianus looked at me and Eleris and smiled as if there was no lie.
“I think the world is interesting because it is unpredictable.”
“How can I be interested in and find fun in my own world where I can control everything and everything just goes as predicted?”
“Becoming a god in a certain world is probably a story in which a child’s play in the sand has only grown a little bit.”
“You great being.”
“I like stories about a child building a sandcastle with waves, tidal waves and storms.”
“I like a story in which a child in a hurry to protect a sandcastle built with great effort cries and despairs, and sinks into the sea of despair with or without being able to do something at the end.”
“I want to see a story that is unpredictable but enjoyable just to watch.”
“But I can’t stand the idea of a skeleton trying to extort the end of the story from a delusion of becoming a god.”
“I want you to take Akasha.”
“You don’t seem to give in to your desire to be a god. You seem to love things a little more human, a little more emotional, a little more menial.”
“I love stories of people risking their lives for such little things.”
“You great being.”
“To the great extent of joy.”
“Tell me a story of great despair.”
Antirianus bows to me.
crazy guy
I just couldn’t think of anything like that.
After finding out what Akasha is and giving it to me, I’m curious about what I’ll do after that, so I’m helping.
my despair too.
my happiness too.
It must be an interesting story, so it was a story that you will take pleasure in watching.
Eleris bit her lip in disgust at Antirianus’ sincere, but not maddening, attitude.
“You have gone mad from the boredom of time, Antirianus.”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier, Mr. Hwayo’s family?”
Antirianus glows in the vampire’s ghastly eyes.
“How can I be sane when I’ve lived through a time when it’s strange not to be crazy?”
I achieved everything I wanted to do and had everything I wanted.
Even so, I didn’t want to die, so I became a vampire, and I’ve lived a long time to the extent that I’m sick of it.
That’s why even the craving has disappeared now, so I find pleasure in seeing someone’s joy or despair.
“Of course, Lucren’s screams and pleas before he died were very good entertainment for me. The death of an old undead who has to face a meaningless death without fulfilling his long-cherished longing… … .”
“I couldn’t help but feel the joy just watching it.”
Antirianus sees me.
“Of course I am not one for the pleasure of administering it. The role of the main character is not suitable for an old, old man like me.”
Antirianus has been helpful so far.
At this level of insanity, it is rather trustworthy. There is no reason to take Akasha or anything to do with it.
I didn’t even get angry at the malice beyond the limit that I would just watch and giggle whether I succeeded or failed.
“Anyway, are you saying that Antirianus will be on my side?”
“Of course, you shouldn’t trust me too much. I can act for your happiness or for your unhappiness.”
I felt like I was going to be quick to be able to take a look at the disgusting honesty.
Antirianus killed Acrich. With this, the life of Cantus Magna was completely cut off.
Antirianus still had his head down.
“If you do not believe in me, you may slit my throat with the sacred object of innocence. You are a great being.”
“… … .”
As if he would not resist, Antirianus gave up his neck.
If you’re not going to see my end, are you willing to give up your life?
Is it right to kill
Madness is unpredictable.
Antirianus betrayed at the decisive moment and reached here where Akasha is at once. We arrived first and figured out the truth, but we don’t know if this guy was trying to get Akasha.
We cannot know the future, and we do not know what Antirianus is thinking.
But Antirianus has been of great help so far.
Incomprehensible madness is rather trustworthy when it goes over to an incomprehensible level.
A man who has gone this crazy won’t change his mind for trivial motives.
“… … madman.”
If it’s this level of madness.
I decided to believe in the madness of Antirianus.
okay.
this crazy old man
Let’s go together to the end.
* * *
Elerith decided to stay in Akasha.
Of course, Antirianus couldn’t recklessly enter Akasha because he didn’t know what he was going to do.
Antirianus killed Acrich, an untrustworthy but very dangerous nuisance.
I don’t know how far they’ll be on my side or where they’ll hit me in the back of the head, but for now, they’re raising my hand.
Antirianus is actually useful and all he wants from me is fun.
Wouldn’t it be such a bad deal if a powerful being like Antirianus fully cooperated in exchange for being a spectator of my life?
First, you have to meet Charlotte.
And Ellen too.
He didn’t know how to explain the truth, he wasn’t sure whether to tell him about Akasha’s existence, but he had to meet Charlotte first.
Through Antirianus, I returned to the ecliptic by mass teleport.
There was obviously also the matter of explaining how I returned to the ecliptic after disappearing from the lich’s tomb.
How am I supposed to get lucky for fooling everyone so far?
Antirianus decided to go to the lich’s tomb and deliver the details to the Vampire Council and the Black Order.
“Are you okay? They must now know that you are a traitor.”
“I think it will work out somehow.”
With a serpentine grin, Antirianus disappeared into the shadows of the night.
Well, is it time for me to worry about Antirianus?
I walked down an alley in the imperial city and went out into the street.
If I succeed in hiding Akasha, I will have to deal with the things I did as the demon king. While organizing the affairs of the Demonic Church one by one.
I don’t know if I really need to complete Akasha, create a different world, and move demons there.
Sarkegar would fully agree with the plan.
If I go to the new world with the demons and if my ability to control the demons becomes stronger than now, I might become a god of the new world.
Such a bland thing to become like a god. If I tried to do something like that, Antirianus would say it’s not fun and try to kill me.
I walked down the street and stood at the entrance of the temple and passed through the gate as always.
But what can I say?
There was a certain sense of incongruity that was different from before.
Everyone is.
like looking at me
Especially something like the guards and the Temple Gate troops are watching me.
As soon as he saw me, it seemed as if all the muscles in his body tightened up.
wariness.
and question.
Add to that.
fear.
Because of that sense of incongruity, I crossed the gate and turned around to face a strange sight.
Before I knew it, the guards were blocking my back as if blocking my retreat.
and.
“… … Bertus?”
Bertus, who was sitting on a bench somewhere, slowly walked towards me.
Why is Bertus here in the middle of the night?
The usual Berthus seemed to be smiling a little without reason. Berthus, whose mask had been removed, seemed to be laughing a little darkly.
But Bertus now was different.
It was Bertus, with a face that was hardened and had a face he had never seen before.
It was an expression full of anger that even he himself could not handle.
why?
“I don’t understand.”
Bertus looks at me surrounded by countless knights.
“I don’t understand this situation at all.”
Bertus looks at me and says.
“why… … . is it you?”
Mixed with confusion, anger, and a sense of betrayal, Bertus seemed unable to comprehend the situation himself.
ah.
Was it like that
It felt like something was breaking in my heart.
Was it too late
no.
Was it like this in the first place?
Was it my destiny to reach the end of everything and become like this?
There is only one step left.
Was it my destiny to not be able to take that last step?
“catch.”
The people moved at Bertus’ brief instructions.
* * *
Both arms were bound and eyes were covered.
And that wasn’t all.
“They say they use the power of words, so put a gag on them so they don’t talk nonsense.”
Bertus’ simple instructions made my mouth shut.
Fortunately, of all the things I had, only the flame of Hwayo was taken away. The invisible Sarkegar’s ring was not taken away, so I was still able to retain Reinhardt’s form.
In fact, it was a tool for concealment and disguise, so unless I retrieved the heirloom of the Dreadfiend clan, no matter how much I searched, I would not be able to detect it.
I was grabbed by the knights and dragged somewhere.
Something went wrong.
I don’t know what level of suspicion I have. But Bertus knew something.
I don’t know where or how it went wrong, but I now had about 100,000 achievement points. How can I not solve the situation by resigning?
A building in the temple and supposedly deep underground.
– Cheekyung! Chunk!
The rattling of chains could be heard.
And when the blindfold came off, I had no choice but to know.
That it is impossible to clear doubts through revision.
-Kreurre… … .
Like me, I could see a lycanthrope with a gag on his mouth trapped inside the cage.
Is it red hair?
no.
It was blood and the original fur was white.
It was a white lycanthrope with blood all over its body.
– Cheekyung! Chunk!
The chained Lycanthropus struggled with its eyes glaring in madness. But what kind of chain was it tied to? The chain only tightened but didn’t break.
royal.
and full moon.
Even if I did not know the specific circumstances, I had no choice but to understand.
Loyard was captured.
And Loyar had appeared during the Demon King’s attack.
“Do you need more explanation?”
Bertus standing next to me asked in a cold tone.
Even if we don’t know how we got here, the results are clear.
It was clear that I was the devil’s servant or the devil himself.
still… … .
use retirement
Even if they know that I am the Demon King, people believe in me.
I hope you believe in my intentions.
[This revision cannot be performed.]
I was destined to kneel in front of the mountain of lies I had accumulated on my own.
So that couldn’t be possible either.
