The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 449
Chapter 449
My thoughts were wrong.
It’s not that I lied knowingly.
It wasn’t to get revenge for knowingly cheating.
I loved you knowing everything.
I saved it knowing everything.
Someone who can’t help but hate me.
A strange person who didn’t kill me on the spot.
made me like
Because I don’t know that simple thought, that simple answer.
It was inevitable that Reinhardt liked him more than he liked Reinhardt.
Because liking a classmate and liking an enemy’s family are two different things.
I liked someone I couldn’t like, but I couldn’t believe it.
Only once when it matters most.
It’s enough if you believe me
If you can’t do that, the world is about to perish.
everything is your fault
This situation was caused by the Demon King’s subordinates who possessed a strange artifact called Akasha.
But Reinhardt didn’t want this situation.
If only Reinhardt hadn’t been captured.
Unless the devil’s subordinates had to do something like this to save Reinhardt in an extreme situation.
This situation did not happen.
then.
In the end, this is because he didn’t trust Reinhardt when it was most important, and he caused this to happen.
In the end, it was he himself who caused this situation, not the demon king.
so that.
everything is your fault
It was only one day difference.
The clue was right around the corner, and Reinhardt was not in the ecliptic at that time.
If only I had endured for one day.
If he had endured the day and asked Reinhardt about everything first.
This didn’t happen.
so that.
All of this is your own fault.
Accumulated misunderstandings and lies were entangled and it became a situation where it was impossible to know what to believe, and time dragged on and dragged on.
A single day of misunderstanding and mistrust brought about all this.
that messed everything up
Liana, Olivia, and Harriet tried to trust Reinhardt even in this situation.
he didn’t believe
if the world perishes
The greatest responsibility lies with himself, not with the devil’s subordinates.
Ellen thinks so.
I don’t know what Reinhardt dreamed of, but since he was the one who decisively destroyed it, he had no right to like Reinhardt anymore.
a sinner in the world
It is a sin for Reinhardt.
I am.
We must take responsibility for this situation.
either by death or by something else.
Ellen Artorius must be held accountable.
– Jjakeong!
“Keugh!”
“Ellen! What are you doing!”
In front of the knights of Chanafell, Ellen broke the third sword as if she would not let anyone leave the temple.
The sword masters of Shanafell were frightened as they saw Ellen Artorius holding a void sword that could shatter and cut off the aura blade just by touching it.
“Back off. Because I don’t want to hurt you.”
“At this rate, the Demon King… … . You will miss the Demon King!”
“I miss it. Because that’s what you’re saying.”
Although there are five sword masters, Ellen was showing the momentum that if she crossed the line she had set, she would use the Void Sword to blow off the neck instead of the sword.
Ellen’s skill is also a skill, but the power of the void sword lament is absolutely cutting power, making even sword masters have a hard time.
Ellen’s protective power combined with the relic of the sun god did not allow the sword masters to attack at all.
The knights of Chanafell are gradually withdrawing.
-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Flying monsters begin to enter the temple through the broken barriers.
“Rather than chasing the demon king, killing the monsters comes first.”
The world might end because you can’t trust the person you love.
Ellen Artorius became the subject of that unfunny situation.
If the world perishes, how much will they be responsible for?
maybe.
that it might be all
I can’t like Reinhardt anymore, I can’t be like that.
Now that she’s made up her mind, Ellen has to do other things. Helping Reinhardt was not allowed to herself. Because it was right for those who believed in Reinhardt to do such things.
Because there is no place for me there.
Because I don’t deserve it.
So he has to do something else.
The only other thing you can do.
to take responsibility for this situation.
You have to support the world that is collapsing because of you.
We must protect a world that may perish.
I know it can’t be an atonement.
Other than that, there’s nothing you can do about it.
Gain Reinhardt’s trust again and build a relationship with Reinhardt again.
Someone like me shouldn’t want something like that.
Ellen thought so.
* * *
I thought that if I left the temple gate, there would be a bigger fight than inside the temple.
But it wasn’t as dire as I thought. -The
super-large warp gate in front of
the Kururu Temple Gate was already completely destroyed.
In the first place, the strongest forces of mankind were gathered inside the temple. Therefore, the speed of action was also very fast.
Originally, there were many cases in which Chanafell or the great mages of the Imperial Family’s Magic Order were dispatched to various parts of the continent. But now, because of my presence, they were gathered in the ecliptic.
It was true that the monsters were haunting, the streets were littered with corpses and collapsed buildings were everywhere, and people were running around screaming.
However, the entire ecliptic did not appear to be on the brink of collapse.
The flying monsters that flew in the sky were being shot down every minute by electric shocks, flame bullets, or unknown magic from the ground.
The emperor chose to deal with the disaster that befell the imperial capital by drastically reducing the troops on my side.
It seemed that he understood and accepted my words that he had to destroy the super-large warp gate first.
It’s good that the damage situation in the ecliptic is reduced, but it means that the damage to the regional bases is amplified because troops are concentrated on this side.
The Empire cannot use its hands in every field and every place.
As the ecliptic stabilizes quickly, the damage to the entire continent will increase.
And the quick stabilization of the turmoil in the ecliptic is not a good thing for me after all.
We must escape the ecliptic.
Fortunately, not only the guards but also the elites of the Empire and the Knights Templar were busy coping with this situation. The area around the Temple Gate, where there were no monsters, had traces of destruction, but it was cool.
– Kurleung!
A crack opened in the air, and soon a woman with auburn hair appeared.
“Lowering!”
Ellerith appeared and hugged me tightly.
“are you okay?”
“… … .”
On the contrary, Ellerith bit her lip at my worrying words, but was unable to say anything.
Elerith did what only she could do: activate Akasha.
If we didn’t cause this level of chaos, there would be no way to save me with our far too few troops.
Even that wasn’t enough, I wouldn’t have been able to leave the temple gates without the unexpected help of Olivia, Harriet Lianna, and Ellen.
“You must leave here at once.”
Ellerith said that with trembling eyes, as if it was not worth talking about her heart or thoughts.
Everyone seemed a little wary because they didn’t know who Elerith was.
“That person… … ?”
However, Harriet had seen Elerith before. The person I was supporting in the lich’s tomb.
Because the person who lent her tremendous magical power has reappeared here. I look at Harriet and say.
“I don’t have time to elaborate. I’ll tell you anything once I get out of here.”
At my words, Harriet nodded with a firm expression.
-Kiaaaaaa!
-Gwoaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The cries of unknown monsters echoed through the land.
– Aaaaaaagh!
-God’s judgment has come down!
The screams of people driven mad with fear echoed everywhere.
“In the southern part of the ecliptic, Galarche and Lruen are waiting after casting a mass teleport. If you go there… … .”
how long did it run
Some of the knights who seemed to be scrambling to deal with the monsters found us.
“Scotra Kelton… … .”
We ran into Scotra Kelton’s unit, commander of the 3rd division of Shanafell.
He was present during the interrogation just now.
Can we break through the knights of Chanafell, even with Elleris included?
Seeing their expressions, Elerith held us back with her arms outstretched as if to embrace us.
Scotra Kelton stares at us.
The Demon King has escaped.
As a knight of Shanafell, he should have been obliged to prevent our escape.
Knights, including the Sword Master, slowly approach us.
“Hey, I… … .”
“Noisy.”
What is Eliris doing?
I know what you want.
“Don’t try to find a grave in front of me.”
What Elerith wants is obvious.
I can’t just let it die.
Although not actually my mother.
Ever since I came to this world, Elleris has always been like a mother to me.
Because the wish failed.
because the wind has blown
Because I opened the door of destruction with my own hand.
I have no intention of making you find rest in death.
You have to live a little longer.
Even though I could have solved everything if I didn’t do anything, I didn’t know it and ended up bringing this crazy situation.
Even so, as if they were forced to live this life that would be exchanged for countless lives.
Elerith must also live.
You have to do something to live.
Even if you can’t pay for your sins, it would be cowardly to try to escape from everything through death.
You can’t pay for your sins with death.
He had no intention of letting Elerith find a place to die.
Watching the upcoming Sword Masters, including Scotra Kelton.
hold the flame of fire
“I said it’s an object that responds to dark emotions.”
It’s an auspicious object that responds more intensely to flesh’s hatred and rage, Ellerith said as she handed me the flame of the flower.
This emotion I feel right now must be a dark emotion.
No, it would be an emotion closer to the abyss itself than dark.
Despair and anger pain.
The compulsion to live anyway.
Because I have to live without knowing what to do in the position where I brought it out of despair in destruction.
Not knowing what my feelings are right now, only knowing that these feelings are darker than any other emotion I’ve ever felt in my life.
I hold the fire of the fire
With the power of self-suggestion.
With the power of the Word Spirit.
The flame of Hwa-Yo that represents my hopeless heart right now.
To the essence of the flame.
“Burn up.”
command
-Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“Keugh!”
“this… … . what!”
A huge barrier of flame that would melt the world rose between the Sword Master and us.
Where the flame barrier rose, the ground melted and boiled like lava.
“let’s go.”
With a wall of flame between the enemies and me.
We ran south.
* * *
Ecliptic Gradium’s vigilance has collapsed.
Although he was coping with the monster pouring out through the warp gate to some extent, he didn’t have the energy to catch the demon king running to escape the middle of the empire.
Scotra Kelton’s unit also had no choice but to stop chasing the demon king and focus on dealing with the monsters that were massacring citizens.
In exchange for finding the Demon King.
The price humanity had to pay for not trusting the demon king was written.
-Kurrureung
The remains of the auditorium of the main building that collapsed.
Saviolin Tanna is chained by Epinhauser and Loyard.
Epinhauser Royard Sarkegar and even Lucinl.
They had to pay for their time.
Lucinil was incapacitated with his limbs tied to magic chains, Sarkegar, who annoyed everyone with his transformation ability, was tied to a space barrier, and Loyar was moaning back in human form with blood all over his body.
and.
Saviolin Tana watched still as Epinhauser was bleeding from the collapsed building with a Tempesta stuck in his abdomen.
“why.”
Saviolin Tana’s voice trembled.
“Why did you have to do this, Epinhauser?”
As she knew, Epinhauser was a patriot. He was a man with a strong desire to love and protect the empire more than anyone else.
After joining Chanapell and working, at some point, he said that he would use his hands to train a successor, and was appointed as a teacher of the Temple Royal class, not Chanapell.
Saviolin Tana, who had seen Epinhauser up close, had no doubts about Epinhauser’s temperament.
That’s why he sided with the demon king.
The forces of the demons can do that. because they are demons
However, Saviolin Tana could not understand at all that Epinhauser, who was human and loved the empire more than anyone else, made this choice.
It was she who struck the decisive blow, but she was also the one who felt the most confusion.
“Why did you, who was on the side of the Empire more than anyone else, do this?”
“… … .”
Epinhauser looks up at Saviolin Tana, his forehead bleeding.
“That too… … . More than anyone… … . of the empire… … . I was on the side of humanity… … .”
“… … The Demon King?”
Epinhauser nodded silently.
Saviolin Tana, who said that the demon king did not wish for destruction, still could not fully accept the words.
In the end, didn’t a disaster start that seemed like the world would collapse?
But Epinhauser was Reinhardt’s teacher.
At least he should have been watching Reinhardt for longer than her.
“Did you already know that Reinhardt is the Demon King?”
“… … .”
Epinhauser did not answer.
Epinhauser is not a man who improvises things for no reason.
The fact that he did such a completely incomprehensible thing must have been supported by his own convictions and will.
Even knowing that he would die, he fought against Saviolin Tana, the strongest of mankind.
He would not have dug his own grave in a meaningless place.
Epinhauser, who is bleeding to death, shows a subtle smile in front of death.
“and… … .”
She had seen Epinhauser for quite some time, but it was the first Epinhauser smile she had ever seen.
“Teacher… … . Seeking a disciple… … .”
The junior who always had a bleak impression is slowly dying.
say dying
“So… … . Would it be something special… … .”
It seemed like I just had to do the job.
Saviolin Tanna watched Epinhauser stop breathing until the end.
“… … .”
Lately, she was feeling skeptical about everything she had built up.
Reinhardt.
Devil.
Even though the demon king is the demon king, humans who believe in the demon king and follow the demon king.
Even though it shouldn’t be, there are people who believe in and love the devil.
The many faces and faces of the Demon King she had seen.
While watching the demon king say that he did not wish for destruction and wanted to save humans.
Seeing that the demon king, who should have said that the demon king’s raid on Lazierne was a self-made act by the empire if he had hoped for the division of humans, never mentioned it even once.
And in a situation where it was almost certain that this wouldn’t have really happened if the devil’s words had been truly believed.
“now… … . I don’t know anything.”
Saviolin Tana felt lost.
