The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 557

Chapter 557

The tombs of saints are in the basement of the headquarters of the Knights Templar.

And like most allied powers, the Templar Knights and the Five Great Priests were also concentrating their efforts on this war.

So, the headquarters of the Knights Templar was being operated with a minimum number of personnel.

Of course, there are no barriers comparable to those of the Imperial Palace or Temple at the headquarters of the Knights Templar.

It’s not like I’m undead, so it’s not impossible to enter.

So, compared to the Imperial Palace or the Temple, infiltrating the headquarters of the Knights Templar was relatively easier.

There are very few people, and the place we have to go to is the tomb of the saints, of course, because there is no choice but to go to a place with few people.

It’s also an easy place to infiltrate in the first place, but since Kono Lint helped with the idea of going to the end, it was futile to enter the graveyard of the saints.

“Damn, now I really don’t know what’s right.”

When we had to forcefully help with what we were trying to do, we must have had a great desire to do this.

However, since Kono Lint knew that the empire was playing the game and doing this, it seemed that all value judgments about good and evil had become meaningless.

The person who does bad things first is the owner.

That’s why Kono Lint finally decided to help us make Death Knights in the tombs of saints for the third time.

“It’s not as good as the imperial mausoleum, but it’s amazing here too.”

tombs of saints.

This tomb located under the Knights Templar was not as gigantic as the imperial mausoleum, but it had a noble and solemn atmosphere.

The overall atmosphere is different from the imperial mausoleum.

On the wall of the huge cavity, the names of the gods worshiped by the deceased saints were embossed at regular intervals, and the names and biographies of the deceased saints were engraved.

like a morgue.

There will be the remains of dead saints in those walls.

It should be said that it feels like an ossuary containing a coffin rather than an ashes.

The tubes in the wall were to go vertically for more than ten stories.

However, the gap was quite wide, so that the coffin at the end was almost seven meters above.

Among the tombs of great saints, the tombstones were built on the ground, not on the wall, and the coffins were buried behind them.

“The history of the Knights Templar is not that long. That’s why there aren’t many remains of adults.”

“You mean there are more tombs in the main temple of each of the five main religions?”

“yes. But with the exception of Als’ Great Temple in the imperial capital, all the other headquarters would have been destroyed, so it’s meaningless.”

The Knights Templar was created for the Pandemonium War, and its history is not very long. That’s why there must have been a lot of remains of saints in other temples.

“Still, since the history is short, most of the saints who enter the mausoleum are chosen for their militant achievements, not for their theological achievements. Rather, we can secure more Death Knights from this side. That’s why I don’t think there’s any need to go to Als’ Great War.”

Those who died in the Demon World War.

Those who died in the Gate Avalanche.

In the end, because the major is the result, most of the adults in the Templar Order will be priests or paladins.

The absolute number of adults will at least be the remains faithful to the main purpose of making a Death Knight.

“Close the door well. If someone comes in and sees it, it will be a headache.”

“yes.”

A huge entrance to the catacombs. Harriet takes on the role of blocking the door.

“Would you like to check Reinhardt? It’s a little difficult if there’s no body this time.”

“yes.”

I head towards the common wall and reach the entrance of the sealed sarcophagus on the wall.

Once pushed into the wall, there is no reason to open it again, so it is a sarcophagus without even a handle.

Without this corpse, things get a lot more complicated.

-Geuggeuk! puck!

I broke the sarcophagus with my bare hands and checked the inside.

“there is.”

“Okay, so that means the Templars never took part in this undead game.”

It was quite surprising that no one was surprised, let alone me, by destroying a stone wall with my bare hands. Even Kono Lint wasn’t surprised.

anyway.

It was the moment when it became clear that the cause of the evaporation of the bodies was the Empire. If this involved the entire Allied Forces, even the tombs of the saints would have been empty.

What is happening now will be the empire’s arbitrariness.

Eventually, it was confirmed that the body was still intact this time.

– Knock!

Olivia stood in the center and slashed down the demonic sword Tiamata.

“Now let’s get started for real.”

– Woo-woo-woo!

The power of corruption begins to crawl out of the magic sword.

There will be no failures this time.

* * *

In the first place, Olivia said it wouldn’t take that long.

It just took a long time because they didn’t know that there were no bodies in the imperial mausoleum.

However, it was never possible in a short time.

Around 30 minutes after Olivia started the ceremony.

-Thump-thump

There was a dull echo as if something was being struck from the wall.

“eww… … . ugh… … .”

Kono Lint flinched and clung to me.

Yes, it’s a moment where you can’t help but be scared.

As if something had started this time, a strange echo continued on the walls of the graves of the saints.

Sounds like hitting something.

-Gray dust mixed with stone dust rose from the walls

of the patter, and a resonance could be felt even from the common ceiling.

Stone statues and symbols of the gods sway.

-thud! thud!

The echo on the wall begins to grow more and more intense.

The slow vibration is getting faster and faster.

-thud! thud! thud! puck!

And the sarcophagus embedded in the wall, the square tombstone, and at the same time the lid begin to crack.

-bang!

Then, along with the dust, a lid bursts off and something crawls out of the wall.

With the ashes of the saint impaled in the wall, the bones of the saint who had been put to rest crawl out.

-Geuuu,

with his eyes wide open and black darkness dripping all over his body, he slipped out of the cramped room and fell to the floor.

-thud!

The body, with only bones remaining, fell to the ground and slowly raised itself.

A corpse was revived, and the saint of bones, who was oozing black energy from his body, was standing there.

-The

skeleton growling with a strange voice wakes up and slowly walks to Olivia’s side.

The black energy flowing from the body soon becomes a cloak of darkness and covers the skeleton from head to toe.

Skeletons in darkness.

The strongest undead.

A saint resurrected as a death knight kneels in front of Olivia.

“good… … .”

– thump thump

– thump!

The sound of waking beings banging on the sarcophagus filled the cavity, like a bird trying to break out of an egg.

* * *

The ceremony lasted an hour and a half.

Seventy-five in total.

The Death Knights, who should now be called the Seventy-five, were resurrected.

There were obviously things that didn’t happen.

However, due to the Power of Corruption, the remains of adults who became Death Knights were clearly in front of our eyes.

The underground cavity was covered with stone dust rising from the broken sarcophagi.

Because Harriet had the noise canceling turned on, there were no priests who came to this place after detecting an abnormality.

I have no intention of doing anything like restoration.

We will leave this place anyway and will never come back.

If the Templars find out about the nearly half-destroyed tombs of the saints, it will cause a stir, but it’s none of our business to know, as they’ve already accomplished their goal.

This won’t be enough.

However, securing a sufficient number of Death Knights was impossible in the first place. A sufficient number of forces in this war is a very distant number in the first place.

Death Knights are basically in the shape of a skeleton.

The wounds or missing parts that he had suffered during his lifetime were reconstructed with the divine power of corruption.

-The Death Knight, who emits only strange

and low echoes, does not have a former self.

It’s just a shell.

Olivia approaches one of the many Death Knights.

We all watched the scene in silence.

One of the seventy-five Death Knights. Behind it was the tomb of Leberier Ranche.

Olivia puts her hand on the bone of the Death Knight, who is oozing dark energy of corruption.

“You look very skinny.”

We watched in awe as the corners of Olivia’s mouth raised eeriely.

The Death Knight, which is only a shell anyway, is not a Lebarrier Ranche.

It’s just that he was once a Leberier Ranche.

He, who was close to immortality, was killed by the demonic sword Tiamata I stabbed.

And now, he was brought back from the dead by the demonic sword Tiamata in his daughter’s hand.

Olivia was staring at the black tear-like smoke flowing from the Death Knight’s pierced eye sockets with a fishy smile.

* * *

When she said that she needed to replenish the Death Knight, it was clear that Olivia was thinking of reviving the Leverrier Ranche.

The risen Death Knights reconciled with smoke and nestled in the magic sword, and we escaped the tombs of the saints.

“With this… … . Are you done?”

“It might be okay to go to the Great Hall of Als, but I don’t think it’s of much significance. There will only be remains that are unnecessarily old.”

Olivia shook her head at Kono Lint’s question, as if there was no need to work harder just to secure one or two Death Knights.

We are done with business in the ecliptic.

“… … Can we go now?”

“What? Shall I take you to the allied camp?”

“No, I can go back alone.”

I was wrongly hooked up with a harsh guy and forced to help me with something I would never experience in my life.

However, Kono Lint raised a bigger question than seeing the heinous process of making the Death Knight.

Suspicion that the empire might be doing this or worse.

I would have lost track of what it was.

“Just in case, don’t bother trying to figure out how this is going.”

“… … .”

As if it was the right track, Kono Lint couldn’t answer my words.

“No matter how well your abilities are optimized for infiltration, there is no need to take risks. And if you find out, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

“… … I guess so.”

This is the kind of thing you shouldn’t know about.

If he tries to figure out what’s going on by himself and gets caught by the Empire, even more strange things might happen.

“Anyway, it was a lot of work.”

Without Kono Lint, the work would have been complicated in many ways, but it is true that it was done easily and quickly.

There is nothing more fortunate than this because the work was completed quickly and neatly without colliding with strict people.

Kono Lint was still silent, then cautiously opened his mouth.

Like trying to tell a story that needs to be told after contemplating whether to tell it or not.

“About the kids in my class… … . Do you know?”

“Roughly.”

“… … .”

The dead and crippled Ludwig in this battle.

It was to let them know that they were spying on the Allies, but there was no reason to pretend they didn’t know anyway. You should know that we are collecting allied intelligence in the first place.

Seeing that sadness, Kono Lint might have thought that he had to prevent more deaths in this war, even by borrowing unholy powers.

But is it right to use even the deaths of people who died in the war? It would be complicated whether it was even right for the empire to do it directly.

You make a death knight to prevent someone’s death, but you turn someone who has already died into a death knight.

“… … I just need to know.”

Kono Lint didn’t bother to talk about the pity and sadness.

We didn’t even have to talk.

It’s just a sad, terrible and cruel topic.

It’s time to go back.

But Kono Lint doesn’t turn around and looks at me with a pale blue complexion as if he’s realized something.

“hey. But you… … . In the future, somehow, it seems that you will call me whenever you need something like this… … . Is it my mistake?”

“I know you well.”

“why me! I hate you son of a bitch! I am a member of the Allied Forces!”

“Hasn’t it already been on a boat?”

You are already an accomplice! There is no escape!

His complexion begins to turn white from my strong actions.

“go away! From now on, even if someone asks for help, I won’t even look at you, you bastard! don’t be fooled! I will never be fooled anymore!”

– Phat!

Kono Lint hated it and disappeared through space movement. With that guy’s ability, you should be able to quickly move to the allied camp far away from here.

If Kono Lint loses his humanity, it will all be because of me.

“… … What else will you need lint for?”

Harriet tilts her head.

“Well, that’s something I don’t know. And put it like that, apparently caught in the same pattern. must.”

“Oh no way. I’m sure you’ll suspect it’s Mr. Sarkegar, though.”

Olivia tilted her head as if Kono Lint could be that stupid.

“well? Do you think they will follow you even if they know it’s Sarkegar?”

“ah.”

“ah.”

Seeing that bastard give up, in the future, if she can become a beautiful girl, she might follow me thinking that it would be okay.

He must have suffered so much from this that he is slowly moving on to the idea that it might be alright!

I’m sorry, Lint.

I think I broke you.

“By the way, wouldn’t it be nice to check out what the Empire is doing?”

“that’s right. It won’t be dangerous to us, but I think we should know what you’re doing.”

Harriet and Olivia’s opinions are valid.

I told Kono Lint not to investigate on his own, but our situation is a little different.

There was no need and no intention of putting a fight against what the Empire was doing.

But you need to know what you’re doing.

“That’s it, let’s find out later.”

Now that Sarkegar and I are there, do some intelligence gathering and you’ll know what you’re up to.

Right now, by tomorrow, the headquarters of the Knights Templar will be in an uproar.

The errands in the ecliptic were finished.

“Come to think of it, I have an idea… … .”

Let Olivia try to secure the Death Knight from the tomb under the headquarters of the Knights Templar. I also came up with an expected candidate point.

“Isn’t there a graveyard or something like that in the castle?”

exactly the devil.

As in the imperial palace, wouldn’t there be something similar to the tombs of past heroes or high-ranking demons in the castle?

“Why did we… … . That’s right, you said you had no memory.”

Harriet’s reaction was as if the demon king was asking us why.

“It’s worth going.”

“… … By the way, Reinhardt. You said I was doing strange things, so you think the same as me after all.”

Is that so?

Come to think of it, Olivia brought her adoptive father back to life as a Death Knight, but am I a worse offspring?

What if the ancient demon kings were resurrected as undead when they wanted to use anything?

I thought of such a motherfucker.

Finally, we headed to Dark Land’s Demon Castle.

However, there were no tombs of past demon kings in the castle.

There was, but it was not known whether it had already been destroyed or if there was no such thing as a tomb in the first place.

Fortunately or unfortunately, in the end we couldn’t secure the Death Knight in the Devil’s Castle.
