The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 513

Chapter 513

Rumors that the hero Ellen Artorius has awakened another power spread throughout the allied forces.

Everyone who saw the battlefield where the main unit advanced and the vanguard swept away the monsters couldn’t help but marvel.

A huge wave of fire pouring from the cloak of the sun that protects the warrior wiped out the monsters.

Monsters with a lower level disappear into ash in the waves of flame, and monsters that endure the flames die with the Void Sword, which cuts through anything.

The hero was the judgment itself of the sun and moon, sweeping away the waves of monsters at the forefront.

However, the flames of hatred pouring from the cloak of the sun did not cover Pia.

That’s why no one could intervene in the middle of the battlefield that Ellen swept ahead.

Most of the allied forces were encouraged by the fact that the hero had become stronger.

Most of the time, I mean not all of it.

Everyone admires the hero’s majesty, but the soldiers from the Temple who knew Ellen felt uncomfortable with the appearance of Ellen Artorius.

Something is wrong with Ellen.

Originally, he didn’t talk, but he talked less than usual.

His pupils were blurry, as if unfocused, and he would occasionally say strange nonsense while holding his head.

Garrison re-established after the march.

The emperor as well as the popes of the five main denominations came out to inspect the garrison.

Under the ostensible pretext of boosting the morale of the Templars as well as the Allies, unlike the Popes, the Emperor had hidden intentions.

He came to check Ellen’s condition after receiving a report from Saviolin Tana that Ellen Artorius’ condition was abnormal.

Ellen Artorius’ tent inside the Templar Garrison.

“Ellen.”

“… … huh.”

Seeing Ellen’s condition, Emperor Bertus could not help but feel a sense of incongruity.

Bertus sat across from him and stared at Ellen, who was staring into space with blurry eyes.

Only Saviolin Tana was standing beside Bertus.

Ellen has awakened another power that she could not use until now.

But apart from being stronger, Ellen Artorius seemed to have a serious problem.

“You look sick.”

“… … .”

Everyone who knew Ellen saw her and asked how she was.

Are you sick or are you okay?

But Ellen shook her head whenever she heard such a question.

He just looked around saying he was tired. Ellen narrows her brows with cloudy eyes and examines her surroundings.

Like trying to see what’s around.

Ellen sees Bertus and Saviolin Tana standing next to him.

“Lately… … . I met Reinhardt.”

Ellen was still on her own.

* * *

Bertus and Saviolin Tana know the truth about the Gate debacle.

So Ellen decided it was okay to tell them what she had been through.

Reinhardt was dying, and he shouldered the burden himself.

After briefly explaining what had happened, Bertus and Saviolin Tana couldn’t help but be shocked.

A strange phenomenon caused by too many deaths. It hit Reinhardt and Ellen inherited it.

There was no way that Ellen’s mind was normal.

“I can’t help it even if it’s irresponsible… … . that it was something I had to do think so.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“I had to save Reinhardt,” Ellen muttered in a daze, almost bewildered.

Neither Bertus nor Tana could deny that it was reckless.

However, it’s not that he doesn’t know Ellen’s heart, who wanted to save Reinhardt in that situation.

“My ego will probably fade away. but. There will be no harm to people… … . clearly.”

Since he carried his hatred for the demon lord, even if his ego disappeared, it would not harm humans. He becomes a puppet with only hatred for the demon king.

It wasn’t for any other reason that Ellen told Bertus and Tana that she had secretly met Reinhardt.

Now that Rapelt’s true strength has been drawn out, Ellen has become stronger.

“So, once the gate crisis is complete… … . kill me… … .”

Because Ellen, who lost her ego after the Gate incident, is sure to try to kill the demon king.

“Before I try to kill Reinhardt… … .”

So, when it serves its purpose, let it die.

Ellen asked Tana and Bertus for a favor.

* * *

“What is this?”

“… … .”

-Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

An alchemy drug formulated by Lucinyl according to the recipe given by Harriet.

After eating it, Liana was summoning three tornadoes on the beach in quick succession.

I don’t know if this is correct or not, but there seemed to be nothing like this to bring out the ability properly.

of course.

“… … .”

It was very painful to see Liana’s face turned blue.

“… … Only use it when you really need it.”

“I should… … .”

Liana slowly nodded her head in agreement with Lucinil’s words.

It was an overly dangerous drug because the effect was certain.

Although I won’t be able to activate the ability by grinding Liana.

how to say

Liana’s appearance was painful to watch.

In a way, it seems like they are being properly punished.

Anyway, the conclusion is clear.

Liana who has taken a depressant is invincible.

* * *

The drug Riana took had a definite effect.

Can this also be called a drug?

It’s not a feel-good drug, it’s a depressing drug.

Can a drug with the opposite effect be called a drug?

Or, to put it mildly, that’s why I wonder if it’s the drug that has the effect worthy of the name itself.

It was said that there would be no side effects, but the effect itself is no different from a side effect, so I won’t be able to use it often.

The more you use it, the more you get sick because of its efficacy.

That must have been why Harriet had told her not to wear long clothes.

Liana was not saying not to wear long clothes, but focused on Harriet’s words that there would be no side effects other than the medicinal effect itself.

Even without me watching, Liana was practicing on a deserted island with Lucinil as if trying to see the bottom of her abilities.

It’s nice to have accelerated development of abilities, but is that really a good thing?

Liana was abusing herself.

Olivia and Lord Vampires’ selection of the elite and preparations for war were proceeding smoothly.

From the moment we step out, the army’s advance will accelerate, and the speed of suppressing the gate crisis will gradually increase.

And apart from preparing for war, other things were going on one by one.

Fighting with Ellen in the dream continued every other day.

It still didn’t go well.

I’m at a disadvantage in a fight when I’m not in the right mindset to hurt Ellen.

And the void sword Lament cuts everything it touches except for the holy relics.

Even if I became a master class, I was still lacking in overall specs, and I wasn’t even ready to fight properly.

I had to go through a defeat that ended in the name of my death.

The pain in the dream that I felt at the moment of death was a kind of bonus.

“Is this already finished?”

“huh. It wasn’t too difficult.”

I was gaping at the milky-white obelisk that replaced the fountain in the central square of Razak.

Residents passing by looked at the suddenly erected obelisk and tilted their heads as if they wanted something, but they did not know what it really was.

Harriet and Airi were by my side.

“The more I know about your ability, the more I am amazed.”

“Is that so… … .”

Harriet, not used to compliments, scratched her cheeks at Airi’s words.

Dream Obelisk.

Harriet succeeded not only in interpreting the dream magic, but also in turning it into an artifact.

Somehow, it seems like he’s been messing around with his research notes for days, so he’s been trying to make this.

“I plan to test-operate it first and install it in other regions if it seems to work well.”

“Good.”

I don’t know how much meaning sleeping comfortably can have at this time, but I believe that it will definitely be helpful to people from the point of view of having had a terribly wild dream.

* * *

Strictly speaking, magic that interferes with dreams is not magic, but it is an ability unique to succubus.

Heriot’s ability to reinterpret it into magic and turn it into an artifact had already surpassed quite a few archmages.

This is also possible because Harriet’s ability is incomparable to that of her freshman year.

It means that from a genius with the greatest talent in the history of magic, he has already grown enough to fully demonstrate his ability.

Oddly enough, it was also thanks to Charlotte that Harriet was able to develop the artifact so quickly.

Until now, when I had to assist and act as a secretary, Harriet had no time for personal time.

But Charlotte was doing a good job without being a secretary, so Harriet was able to devote all her time to what she wanted to do.

But this.

I feel a bit strange.

It’s good that Harriet is finally able to devote all her time to her studies.

It’s good that Charlotte has taken over everything I’ve been doing and is doing better than I am.

But it’s too objectively revealing that I was stupid and was wasting Harriet’s time.

how about something

I must say that I feel strange.

“… … .”

“what’s the matter?”

That night, I was sitting on the bed after getting ready for bed, and when I didn’t say anything, Harriet tilted her head at me.

“… … what?”

“Are you mad?”

“no? Not at all?”

“… … You don’t look good.”

It doesn’t look like he’s showing off, and there’s no reason to get angry. Strictly speaking, it would have been nice if the work I proposed was implemented too quickly, but there is no reason to feel bad.

At my denial, Harriet stares at me.

Come to think of it.

After I hijacked Edina’s state affairs, I spent the most time with Harriet.

So Harriet is the one most sensitive to my mood swings because she’s spent so much time with me.

Literally, I can’t fool Harriet even if I can fool anyone else.

In the end, I couldn’t help but sigh.

“No, I just thought I might have been taking too much of your time up until now.”

“My time… … ?”

“Yes, this kind of thing can be created with just this much concentration, but if I had been able to take charge of state affairs alone, wouldn’t you have been able to do something else? More constructive and progressive… … . What should I say? I could have done what only you could do… … .”

Harriet was too talented for a job like my secretary.

But everyone else around me was busy doing their job. Although Harriet reluctantly served as my secretary, Harriet was equally as irreplaceable and outstanding.

If Harriet had devoted herself to research instead of working as my secretary, wouldn’t Harriet have been able to do greater things that only she could do?

I wish I had been a little better.

Now that Charlotte, who was clearly superior to me in governing, took over as regent, I couldn’t help but wonder what might have been accomplished but not accomplished in times gone by.

“what… … . Was it like that?”

“It’s a bit of a retard-like worry, but what can I do with those thoughts?”

I sighed and Harriet smiled.

“well… … . Hmm… … .”

Harriet contemplates as she squats on the bed.

“I don’t know what I could have done if I had done something else… … . I honestly don’t know. Just like you were busy, I was busy too.”

“… … .”

“I was fine though.”

Harriet said that and looked at me.

“It was nice to be close to you.”

“… … Is that so?”

it makes me speechless

He had no confidence to see Harriet’s face properly.

“Just because I might have been able to do something else doesn’t mean that what we worked out together has gone away. Just because Charlotte does what we did faster and better doesn’t mean that whatever we’ve done is worthless.”

“… … That’s right.”

yes i guess

Age seems to have become meaningless at some point.

At some point, I get too much help from those around me, and in some ways, others are wiser than I am.

Not to mention the nice things to hear.

It may not mean anything to be nice to hear, but that’s what people need.

Harriet was and still is closest to me.

Harriet said it was good.

Aside from practical efficiency and other possibilities.

It is true that I liked it too.

From a certain point on, Harriet was devoted to me.

He was really trying to give me everything.

After speaking, Harriet was rewriting her research journal.

Harriet, who doesn’t have to be my secretary, is still busy.

I keep trying to find something to do.

“Still, take it easy. Is there anything else left to do?”

“Looks like I’ll have to keep an eye on the obelisk. There are many other things.”

“Something else?”

“I’m learning about soul magic. To the Lord of Demand.”

sorcery.

In the middle of this, you’re suddenly learning about soul magic from Lucinil? At my question, Harriet looked at me and smiled sadly.

“Ellen is not going to have to return it somehow.”

“ah… … .”

At those words, I felt like I was suffocating.

“I had no choice but to do this because I didn’t have time. There might have been another way.”

“… … .”

“I don’t intend to forget that Ellen took on everything.”

Harriet writes down her research journal.

“Ellen is also my friend.”

It was Harriet, not Antirianus, who suggested Ellen to shoulder everything.

Ellen is also Harriet’s friend.

A fact I had forgotten for too long.

Harriet, who had been writing down her research journal for a long time, suddenly looked back at me.

“So don’t try to thank me.”

“uh… … ?”

“Then I’m sad.”

I had no answer to Harriet’s words.
