The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 692

Chapter 692

If human thinking is a thread, the thoughts in Ellen’s head are now messed up.

I don’t know where it started to get tangled up, so I can’t untie it.

I couldn’t figure out what it was.

It is impossible to understand why the cat at that time appeared in a city southwest of Kernstadt, thousands of kilometers away from the temple, with the collar it had thrown off.

Ellen ran away.

Without knowing why you had to run away.

I blindly entered an alley and ran like crazy.

what was it

How did it happen?

How has it been so far?

Thinking but not knowing the answer, Ellen runs away recklessly.

I just run through the alleyways.

The maze of tangled alleys was exactly the same as Ellen’s head.

Cold sweat broke out all over my body and I was terribly used to running, but I was out of breath.

“ha… … . ha… … .”

scary

I’m afraid.

It was creepy.

I feel like I’ve been hit by something.

It seems to have been played out.

Even now, I felt the fear of running away from someone’s grip.

The cat that was always with you.

A cat that was like a haven for the mind.

The cat, which remained as a good memory of the difficult times, became an object of fear when encountered in an unexpected situation.

Running through the alleys, Ellen now doesn’t even know where she came from or where she’s running.

Are you going the same way?

Or are you going somewhere?

Do I have to get out of the city quickly over the fences and buildings?

“omg… … . omg… … . Heo-eok… … .”

I looked back in unknown fear, but nothing was following me.

They run without knowing what they are running from.

Nothing is following, but the thought that something is following fills my head.

I don’t know what.

to someone who seems to know what it is.

It seemed that everything was being understood.

I thought you were running away.

In fact, it was in the palm of my hand.

Otherwise, all of this cannot be explained.

“ha… … . ha… … . ha… … .”

– Kaang! puck!

At the end of the destinationless escape, stepping over the trash and boxes scattered in the alley.

Ellen was driving down an alley where she hadn’t been able to tell where she had gone astray, and saw the surroundings gradually turn white.

“what… … ji?”

There is a sudden fog.

This is unacceptable in sunny weather.

Still unable to stop, Ellen just runs around the alley.

However, as the fog approached, Ellen couldn’t help but feel the surprise that had come again.

He was clearly running down an alley that was blocked on both sides.

But when the fog came right in front of me, everything disappeared.

The walls of the buildings that stood on either side.

Even the ground on which they stood was shrouded in mist.

Fog was everywhere, and all the surrounding landmarks disappeared.

I walked anywhere in the open, and I couldn’t see or feel anything except the fog.

Chills set in.

If it’s magic, I don’t even know what kind of magic it was.

Even if he wasn’t immune, he couldn’t hurt or interfere with Ellen at all with magic.

However, without even knowing it, he fell into a magical maze.

Ellen runs vaguely.

If you run, you run recklessly in a strange space where you don’t know if you can see the end or not.

Isn’t it turning around?

Is it right that you are going somewhere?

Ellen couldn’t figure out how to get out of this maze.

I just vaguely run, run, run.

“ha… … . ha… … . ha… … .”

The moment when the thought of wanting to collapse because I was out of breath came into my head.

– Woe!

“Heh heh… … !”

Suddenly the fog cleared.

And Ellen saw.

The high, stinging sun and deep blue sky.

A white sandy beach that appeared out of nowhere.

-Shoot aaaa

and waves.

-With a thump

, Ellen arrived at a certain beach where clear emerald waves were surging.

what did you get

Where are you?

Is this really a place that exists in reality?

In that thought, Ellen looks at the beach with trembling eyes.

It was there.

like fate.

On one side of the beach, Reinhardt was there.

A talisman he once wore.

The amulet that was hanging around the black cat’s neck just now.

“Did everyone run away now?”

It was hanging around Reinhardt’s neck now.

* * *

After wandering through an unknown maze, Ellen arrived at a certain beach.

I had to know everything.

what has been so far

The black cat was Reinhardt.

It is not that something is binding you, and you are not bound.

-Shooaaaa

Only the sound of the waves and distant seabirds invaded the silence between the two.

Seeing Reinhardt approaching, Ellen could only tremble.

All Ellen could do was back away little by little as she watched Reinhardt approach, trembling.

I don’t know where this place is, but it was clear that the other person already knew where Ellen was.

“How about… … . how… … .”

Reinhardt shrugs at the words of Ellen, who is terrified because she can’t understand the situation.

“You’re not a coward, so there’s no way you’ll escape the way you came in.”

was being read

“That’s the last city.”

I knew where I was going to end up.

The moment I entered Kernstadt, I knew I was heading southwest.

southwest of Kernstadt.

“The last city before entering the Serene Mountains.”

There is a huge mountain range there.

“You didn’t know you were going to Lizaira, did you?”

Ellen’s hometown.

The Demon King knew that Ellen would flee to the southwest of Kernstadt, where her hometown, Lizaira, was located.

I knew long ago that Ellen would not disappear across the southwest border, but would head for the Thren Mountains.

“I thought you were going that way, of course.”

Enter from the northeast and head southwest.

Now that you’ve read the route, it’s obvious where you’ll end up and which cities you’ll pass through.

It is highly likely that the whereabouts have already been identified from the middle.

Ellen, who hesitated and backed away, is eventually cornered.

Ellen’s chin is held by the demon king while she looks into her eyes.

“What do you think would be different if you arrived in Lizaira without being caught?”

“… … .”

“You don’t know, but I’ve been there already.”

“what… … ?”

It was the first time Ellen had heard of it.

All Ellen had told Reinhardt about Lizaira in passing a long time ago.

I didn’t think I would remember that.

That’s why I thought you wouldn’t know.

But beyond remembering, he even went to Lizaira himself.

When?

Even if Ellen finally arrived in Lizaira, Reinhardt could have come to Lizaira to find Ellen.

The moment Ellen entered Kernstadt, the demon king knew where she was going.

Even if they escaped safely, they were able to enter their final destination.

Escape was impossible in the first place.

Ellen quietly swallows her saliva while holding her chin.

Ellen couldn’t even move at Reinhardt’s penetrating gaze.

vaguely afraid

It was vaguely painful.

Reinhardt let go of his jaw and took a step back.

I was in a city in Kernstadt until just now, and I arrived at a tropical beach out of nowhere.

“here… … . where are you… … ?”

Reinhardt shrugged and pointed to Ellen’s back.

Not on the beach, but inside the island.

When Ellen looked back, there was the mansion.

It was a foreign sight.

An out of nowhere mansion on an out of nowhere beach.

The mansion was obviously not in any memory.

“You really don’t know?”

Reinhardt asks.

If this is a similar landscape, there is the villa of the Duke of Granz in the Edina Archipelago that I once visited, but it is clearly different from that mansion.

Ellen looks at the distant landscape.

There was a sight that deserved to be called a tropical forest.

where is this place

There was only one landscape in my memory.

“no way… … . here… … . we… … . Before… … .”

“okay.”

Reinhardt nodded.

“The uninhabited island we came to on a group mission in the past.”

An uninhabited island whose name is unknown.

A place where group missions were held in the past.

It was not a place that did not exist in reality, but a place that clearly existed.

However, a mansion was built that did not exist before.

I don’t know how I came here or what that mansion is.

I don’t even know why I was brought here.

It was hard, but in the end, it was a place that remained as a good memory of the good times.

Ellen and Reinhardt were back.

why did you bring me here

Ellen doesn’t know what she wants to do.

Reinhardt doesn’t even give an explanation.

If something resentful came out of his mouth, would he be able to endure it?

betrayer.

fugitive.

Actually, there was no excuse for Reinhardt.

Because he left for his own reasons without any explanation.

No matter how much sorrow, anger, and resentment I hear, I have nothing to say.

I have no confidence to convince you.

Reinhardt says nothing to Ellen, who is trembling in fear of what she will hear.

I just pick up the thick one among the branches that were suddenly scattered.

– Poof!

“… … ?”

The suddenly thrown tree branch was accepted by Ellen without realizing it.

“I don’t know anything else.”

And Reinhardt also picks up a twig.

“Let’s have a sword fight after a long time.”

Reinhardt was wearing a mischievous smile that somehow reminded him of his Temple days.

Reinhardt slowly approaches Ellen, holding a branch like a training sword.

But Ellen feels sad just thinking about those days.

so.

“eww… … . ugh… … .”

Seeing them face to face like this makes me so happy that I burst into tears.

However, although Reinhardt’s attitude was mischievous, he had no intention of being mischievous with his hands.

“Uh huh.”

Watching Ellen cry, Reinhardt lightly kicks off the beach and rushes in.

“You gap kid.”

-Fuck!

“ah… … evil!”

Soaked in sadness and longing, Ellen, who had been hit on the head by a branch without even a chance to respond, collapsed as it was.

“Ugh… … .”

Reinhardt smiles as he looks down at the crying Ellen.

“Aren’t you going to come to your senses?”

“… … .”

“Who do you think you’re dealing with?”

Apostle of the War God.

the flame lord.

ruler of the continent.

It is to deal with Emperor Reinhardt.

Of course, he was holding a branch now.

“Get up and go again.”

Ellen cries and stumbles to her feet.

The tip of the tree branch that Ellen is holding somehow shakes.

what do you want to do

If you just pick up a twig and fight like this.

Do you even believe that you can go back to the way it was before?

So many things have changed and so many times have accumulated without each other.

You know you can’t go back like this.

What are we going to do?

That heart, that attitude.

It was so sad and sad that Ellen couldn’t concentrate.

What I want to go back to is Ellen.

but i can’t go back

I can’t allow myself to do that.

Because of the obsession that I, a sinner, should not do that.

“La Reinhardt… … . i can’t… … . I can’t… … .”

So, only my fingertips are shaking.

“okay?”

“Yes… … me. i can’t… … . I can’t… … . Sorry… … . Sorry. It’s my fault. Sorry… … .”

Reinhardt’s eyes change when he sees Ellen, who is barely standing still, sobbing with emotion.

“then.”

The playfulness is gone.

Auras form on the branches.

“I’m dying.”

It is not a light leap.

The moment he came to his senses, Reinhardt was already right in front of him, and an ordinary tree branch became an aura blade and pierced Ellen’s side.

Die.

the moment you think about it.

– Jjaeong!

Ellen’s twig also deflected the deadly stab with an aura.

“Ha ha… … . under… … .”

At the tremendous amount of shock, Ellen took a few steps back and looked at Reinhardt while catching her breath with her eyes wide open.

Reinhardt grinned again and put the branch with the aura on his shoulder.

“What are you doing well?”

Don’t make excuses while you can.

After adding that, Reinhardt aims at Ellen again with a branch.

I don’t know what you want.

Nothing will end until you deal with it without mercy.

That’s why Ellen suppressed her tears and aimed a branch at Reinhardt.

Reinhardt smiled as if he was satisfied with that attitude.
