The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 462

Chapter 462

Things inside the city center were at least better, and people in the shantytown area where the refugees live wondered if they could survive this winter.

Even the Empire couldn’t abandon them after all.

I could see the guards handing out something in front of a long line to see if distribution was taking place.

-thud!

-You said you wouldn’t take it!

-grandfather… … . You might end up here… … .

A loud noise came from somewhere in the shantytown.

-I think I will receive the treatment of the priests who serve the filthy devil! just die! cancer! must die!

A priest wearing a dirty white priestly robe, apparently from which shack he had been kicked out of, slowly stood up with a melancholy expression.

Tuan and the Order of Als.

People began to reject the gods who chose the demon king.

I was watching the priest of Tuan walking somewhere with his head bowed with a melancholy expression mixed in the whispers of people.

There was no need to see this scene.

I knew the reality of the empire well enough with this.

But I couldn’t get out of bed easily.

I feel like it’s my responsibility to keep all these sights in my eyes. I feel like I should do that anyway.

Looking at these horrible things that happened to me wouldn’t solve anything, but I felt like I had to.

I pass by the landscapes of broken lives that unfold endlessly.

The closer we got to the outskirts, the worse the situation became.

It was not uncommon to see maggots and flies on dead bodies between the shacks.

The empire is not capable of supporting all this population.

You save people somehow, but if the people you save end up starving to death, what is the reason for saving them?

The only outcome is that you are killed by monsters or slowly killed by starvation.

Just as I used magicians to grow food in the Edina Archipelago, the empire must be doing something similar.

In addition, the empire consumes manpower to protect this vast territory from monsters.

There are people who are working to end the gate crisis, as well as support the existing emirates.

The Edina Archipelago is a condition where all resources can be used to support the people, but the Empire is not in such a state.

That’s why people were dying in vain in places where the Empire couldn’t use their hands.

In an overly hopeless situation, there is no anger or hatred on people’s faces.

Those cast in the shadow of death were sitting on the streets casually, dying slowly because they did not even have the energy to resent the world.

Almost at the edge of the outskirts of the refugee zone.

-bang!

-Gwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

-Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

– It’s a monster!

The monster could be seen running amok, tearing through the shack.

A gate monster that came in from somewhere.

There can be no guards in this no-man’s-land.

Even if there is, I don’t know if it will be dealt with.

A monster about 4 meters tall with the face of a wild boar and the body of a gorilla.

Not many, but one object.

It didn’t look that powerful, but if left alone, the people in the refugee camp would die in hundreds.

Civilians can’t do anything about it.

In a security vacuum, even if one monster like that flows in, people die in hundreds.

There was no time to delay.

Activates the magic power of the whole body and runs.

It was quite a distance, but it wasn’t a job to cover this distance with my main effort.

-thud! Kwajik!

-escape! run away!

Running to the middle of a scene where people are mercilessly crushed and broken.

“Suck!”

-Kooung!

At the same time as throwing a fist, the magic power contained in the fist is converted into destructive power.

-Kukwang!

The monster’s head exploded just by striking it with a magical fist.

Although I still haven’t reached the master class.

I am stronger than ever before.

I didn’t reach the master class, but that doesn’t mean I’m too weak.

Comprehensive Ability Evaluation – Demon Lord

Combat Level Evaluation – S+

Acquire achievement points every time you defeat a monster, as if you get experience points.

Over the past two years, as Edina’s work has increased, the need for direct combat has gradually disappeared, but in the beginning, she had to fight without even breathing.

It was a day to tear the skin of monsters.

I invested the accumulated achievement points into strengthening myself.

Personally, I wanted to raise my magic power to the maximum, but after reaching SS rank, it became impossible to invest.

Top talents that had become too expensive could not be bought, but some talents were able to blossom.

However, since he had to concentrate on the king’s work, he spent more time on the throne after the fierce battle in the beginning.

That’s why I couldn’t move on to the next step.

However, as my basic physical abilities were extremely developed and my magical power levels had risen to a bizarre level, the output of my magical power itself was comparable to that of any other master.

Without entering the next stage, only the basic ability has achieved deformed growth.

So, the output itself is not inferior to other masters, but more than that. It just lacks sophistication and versatility.

In terms of magic power, I’m on the same level as Saviolin Tanna now.

Of course, I don’t have the confidence to win by fighting her.

-Kooung!

The body of the monster that had lost its head collapsed.

Although I was covered in the flesh and blood of the monster, it did not get on my clothes because it flowed down the magic barrier that covered my body.

In that short bird, the monster killed about 15 people.

It happened less than a minute before the monster appeared.

-Oh oh… … .

-Who’s who… … ?

The people who ran away were staring at me blankly as I neutralized the monster in one shot.

Anyway, it’s a form that has been transformed through Sarkegar’s ring.

no one recognizes me

You don’t have to explain anything or say anything.

The moment you want to leave.

– Kuruk!

A froth of blood bubbled from the dead monster’s corpse, and then something began to rise.

tentacle.

Sharp tentacles, like awls hiding in the corpse, shoot at me.

“!”

– Kacan!

I summoned Alsbringer and slashed its tentacles.

The impact was too fierce to be the sound of flesh and sword colliding.

No matter how great my magic protection is, monsters can’t predict it.

I thought he was dead, but tentacles came out from inside the corpse.

– Hwareuk!

The flames caused by the fire of the fire consumed the monster’s corpse as well as the wriggling tentacles that had been thrown off.

“… … .”

people look at me

-That’s… … .

-That black… … .

People’s eyes on me are fixed on my sword.

Recognizing holy relics basically corresponds to the educated class.

However, the two sacred relics possessed by the demon king.

Alsbringer and Tiamata’s appearance became as famous as Ellen’s Lament and Rapelt.

That’s why people recognize it.

“mind… … . Devil… … .”

One of the trembling people who fell over pointed a finger at me.

“It is the mark of the Demon King!”

Mark of the Demon King.

That was the new nickname given to Alsbringer and Tiamata.

People gradually panicked and started to run away.

-The Demon King has appeared!

It wasn’t something I wanted anyone to know anyway.

I already knew enough about gradium.

I took out my scroll book and opened the teleport scroll.

I watched the people running away in fear until the teleport light swallowed me.

* * *

“What do you mean the Demon King has appeared?”

Right before Ellen left the imperial palace, she heard a strange story going around and went straight to the imperial palace.

Devil.

Upon hearing those words, Ellen’s mind seemed to go blank.

I couldn’t bear not to hear what was going on.

So, no matter how Ellen was, she had no choice but to commit the rudeness of suddenly visiting the emperor.

It was already time to go to sleep, but Bertus was in the office.

Bertus let out a quiet voice with his right hand resting on his temple.

“It’s not once or twice that nonsense pops up in the refugee area… … .”

At those words, Ellen’s strangely heated heart felt cold.

canard.

People who see falsehood in fear and panic have become commonplace.

Ellen felt as if a crack was opening in her dark heart.

“Strictly speaking, I think I saw Alsbringer, not the demon king. Listening to the description of the appearance, I think it’s Alsbringer, but… … . Then Reinhardt must be right.”

Ellen’s lips trembled when she heard those words.

If he had seen Alsbringer, the owner could not have been anything else, so he was right that he had seen the demon king.

“You’re talking weird. The demon king brought a monster, killed the refugees, and disappeared… … .”

The short new story has been misrepresented. Ellen shook her head.

“No way… … . there is no… … .”

“of course. I don’t know why they came, but a monster appeared in the outskirts, and Reinhardt killed the monster and went somewhere. But who would believe the story that the demon king saved people?”

The demon king killed the monster that was attacking the refugees and disappeared.

However, those who saw the scene saw the demon king kill the monster, but those who did not see it only heard that the demon king appeared while the monster was killing refugees from afar.

The truth that the demon king suddenly disappeared after killing the monster that was killing the refugees was buried among the rumors that spread like wildfire.

The demon king saved the people.

People don’t believe the truth because the demon king has no reason to do so.

So a believable lie would become the truth.

“Did Reinhardt feel like this… … .”

“… … .”

Ellen and Bertus felt the frustration that Reinhardt must have felt in real time.

There is no reason Reinhardt should do such a thing.

If you really want to raid the refugee outskirts, you can’t bring just one monster.

People believe only what they want to believe in fear.

I don’t believe in the story that if Reinhardt tried to raid properly, a section of the refugee area would become a sea of fire.

I don’t believe it because I can’t believe it.

The truth does not work for a crowd driven mad by fear and hatred.

How do you believe in the devil?

Ellen and Bertus, who couldn’t believe Reinhardt under such thoughts, were in a position where they had to watch with a sense of being stuffy as the truth spread among the crowd, not the truth, but a believable lie.

“Anyway, why did Reinhardt come here… … .”

Ellen felt the same way about Bertus’ question.

At this time, the Demon King, who could not hear any news after leaving the ecliptic, appeared in the ecliptic.

Ellen suddenly recalled that she had felt a sensation some time ago that seemed to be watching her.

That strange feeling that I thought was an illusion.

no way.

‘… … No way.’

When it came to the idea that it might have been Reinhardt, Ellen felt embarrassed.

On the topic of not trusting Reinhardt.

Are you still delusional that Reinhardt might be thinking of you?

To think that Reinhardt might have been watching him. Ellen laughed at herself at how absurd and unreasonable her delusion was.

What reason did Reinhardt have to do that?

I don’t know where he is, but Reinhardt went somewhere with people who believed in him.

There was no reason to look for a reason to find oneself again.

Two years have passed.

In this miserable misery, Reinhardt must have forgotten what he thought of himself long ago.

Reinhardt did nothing wrong to Ellen.

The only thing wrong is yourself.

So Reinhardt could forget himself. Because I was betrayed.

He himself could not forget Reinhardt. Because I betrayed you.

That’s why Ellen thinks that Reinhardt remembers and reminisces about her, and that there is no way that even the slightest bit of that feeling will remain.

I don’t even think I have the right to wish for that.

“how… … . Why did I come… … .”

If so, why go to the ecliptic, where you’ve never been before?

why did it appear

Neither Ellen nor Bertus knew why.

Edina Archipelago, the main port city of Razak.

When I returned, Harriet took off the robe I was wearing and put it on top of it with both hands.

“How was the Empire?”

“… … I can’t even say it as a joke.”

“… … How much was it?”

“We have already exceeded the limit of the population that the emperor can support. People flocked to it, but I had to worry about all of them starving to death. There was no security at all in the outskirts. It’s not a crime, but if you get a bunch of monsters wrong, people will die in 1,000 units in 10 minutes.”

At my words, Harriet let out a deep sigh.

“And a monster appeared in the outskirts, and it used Alsbringer. Perhaps sightings will spread that I have appeared in the ecliptic… … . It won’t be a big deal, but I can roughly predict what kind of rumors this will spread… … . I don’t know what effect this will have later.”

“Alsbringer?”

“Oh, there is a slightly dangerous situation.”

“Yeah, I’m glad you weren’t hurt.”

Harriet and I walked side by side in the royal hallway.

The demon king appeared in the ecliptic.

I didn’t do anything particularly great, but the story of my appearance had no choice but to have a huge impact on the ecliptic.

Because the majority of the crowd knew that the demon king could appear in the ecliptic at any time.

People might be more afraid of me and panic.

Even if it was dangerous, I shouldn’t have summoned Alsbringer.

However, there are plenty of monsters that can pierce armor. Sword masters do not die for nothing.

I don’t know how the demon king’s appearance on the ecliptic will spread fear in the ecliptic.

Should I have left it alone rather than using my own hands?

Just thinking about it made the back of my neck go cold.

I was afraid to let this thought go unnoticed.

Antirianus had heard about the turbulent circumstances of the ecliptic, but seeing it with his own eyes made it even more real.

Edina Archipelago was also like a paradise compared to the Ecliptic, even though my head was about to explode with the problem of people eating and living. Even though there were people starving, no one died of starvation.
