Chapter 157 – 6-Academy (95)
Darkness, who struggled and struggled until the end, eventually gave up and ate the raw biological weapon that looked tasteless.
Awesome! Wood deok!
With an ominous chewing sound, the black darkness leaked from the Demon King’s sword surrounded the corpse and quickly devoured it.
[Ugh! Taste… Doesn’t exist!]
It must have been quite tasteless, so he continued to vomit as he ate it, but eventually ate it quickly as I got farther and farther away from that darkness.
He must have hated being separated from me more than eating that weapon.
[Whoa… Ate it all! Let’s go now!]
“It’s going to be like that a long time ago, but I’m wasting time for no reason… Tsk tsk, anyway, there’s a foolish side.”
I did my best to devour the weapon, and after lightly kicking my tongue at her clinging to me, I took only a piece of meat heart, which was evidence that there was a monster, and moved to the place where the black knight was.
All that remains is to set the reward for the bet with the Black Knight and bring the meat shards to the church of Helios fanatics to raise my honor.
In that case, he would not have to go to the academy.
Anyway, I pulled out almost all the mulberries to be pulled out at the academy, and the academy itself was an area to pass through for me in the first place, so it’s best to secure it quickly and graduate.
“And for that, I infiltrated this territory and took the time to catch the devil.”
Since I caught the demon, I have nothing to do in this manor, so I just need to pack my party, take my slaves, and wait for the church paladins and priests to come.
With this level of power and openly demons crawling out, even those incompetent bastards would have known that this place was the den of demons, so they must have come in droves by now.
While walking with that thought in mind, I suddenly began to worry, albeit slightly, about what had become of Russell.
“By the way, I wonder what would have turned out in Russell’s fight with the Black Knight! Would Russell have won?”
[Well? The black knight isn’t normal either, so don’t you have 2-3 trump cards?]
“He’s like that too! It’s not like he’s the 3rd devil for nothing.”
Agreeing with Darkness’s negative words, Darkness and I arrived at the place where the Black Knight was, and saw a truly amazing sight.
The armor was slightly damaged on top of Russell, who passed out with scars all over his body, but the black knight, who seemed to be full of composure, was aiming a sword at his neck.
When I made a slightly surprised expression at that state, the black knight who looked at me praised me with a voice of sincere admiration, and I looked at such a devil and said in a refreshing voice.
[Excellent. Do you really think you can catch that monster? Truly, our king is something our king can count on!]
“Let’s do it in moderation. First of all, since I won the bet, you have to do me a favor.”
[Oh… Even though a colleague is in a dangerous situation, there is no hesitation or tension. It’s cold and cold.]
The black knight praised me for my actions, but I didn’t change my expression one bit and threw the meat fragments on the floor! I threw it and drew my sword.
At first, I was going to only take care of my party and spend the reward of the bet later, but I quickly changed my strategy due to the energy I felt from a distance, and I pointed my finger at the black knight.
To be honest, I didn’t think that the Black Knight would lose.
If you only look at the status, the black knight is behind, but the black knight can have any number of skills or weapons that can overturn the difference in the stats of the demons.
In addition, Russell is very good at killing monsters, but his fighting ability and efficiency drop sharply when he is in a human form.
Since the field that Russell was active in before was all about defeating monsters or demons, I understood it, but as expected, I, who had been going with him, knew that his interpersonal skills were lacking, so I could predict that Russell would lose.
But the reason I can be cool lies elsewhere.
Because, for some reason, the holy power of the priests and paladins who ran quickly quickly changed the result of the bet that I would ask the black knight for.
‘It’s unfortunate that I can’t use that guy in the fight against the demons, but it’s more profitable to use it now to raise my honor and rights!’
I quickly made up my mind and looked at the black knight.
I wonder if the black knight was feeling divine power in my upward pointing finger, or maybe it was the unspoken confidence that those people had nothing to do with it.
[Indeed… He said he would use me to raise his honor… Truly great judgment. To be honest, if I had told you not to touch my party here, I would have just cut you down, but as expected, he is more than I imagined!]
“Honestly, I didn’t expect you to lose to Russell, so I’m not too surprised that he did. Of course, I wasn’t sure if you would kill him or not, but I didn’t think you were going to kill him here anyway.”
[To think that the devil wouldn’t kill the demon hunter… Why?]
“There’s no way a guy like you would kill an exciting guy like Russell, right? From your point of view, she’s still an immature girl, isn’t it?”
[After… Haha!!! Yes that’s what it says! Also you’re funny… ! But now, the time I have to go is getting closer, so should I make a quick bet?]
At my calm words, the black knight laughed like a madman at first, then suddenly pointed his weapon at me with a serious face.
A sharp black sword was pointed at me, and I also responded with a smile and pointed my weapon at the faintly spreading speculation, raising my spirits.
In an instant, powerful momentum collided, and even the slightest change in a situation where mana collided, they were ready to immediately rush in and cut each other.
The space was eroded with such sharp momentum that I thought that if there were people, I would have passed out from blowing bubbles.
In this situation, the black knight spoke first with an innocent voice full of leisure and joy, like a child who received a PlayStation 4 as a Christmas present.
“The result you want is to show off the best fight in front of those who are so incompetent up there and call themselves God’s warriors and God’s lambs… Is that right?”
“That’s right, I put on my best fight in front of them and raise my stock price. That’s the payoff I’m asking for.”
Among the Paladins and Priests, there were three women who possessed exceptionally strong divine power, and those who had no divine power, but who were very familiar with them.
‘As expected, the princess and Bernage… The second princess was somehow competent, so there’s no way she wouldn’t know that there are demons here.’
As long as I can feel the presence of Vernage, her two princesses, and a saintess with exceptionally strong divine power, the choice to raise my stock price by fighting the black knight with the momentum to make a life-and-death decision here will surely be the best deal.
However, denying my thoughts and provoking me, the black knight raised his magic power and said,
“But will it be okay? I have no intention of watching you once we start fighting.”
The words added after that, `You say that the stock price might go down because you lose?` Clearly provoked me.
But I didn’t get caught up in the provocation, rather I moved quickly with a bold smile.
“I lose to you? It’s a pity, but keep your delusions at home! It’s not going to happen!”
The muscles in his legs wriggled strongly and gave strength to the ground, breaking the ground and rushing forward.
My body quickly moved right in front of the black knight’s nose due to the instantaneous acceleration by pure physical ability without using any magic or magic, and I kicked the black knight’s jaw as he was trembling in surprise.
Quaang!
Although it was a simple kick, the power of the blow was truly enormous, and the body of the black knight who was hit directly by this power soared into the air, pierced through the ceiling and soared upward like a rocket.
Looking at this scene, I realized once again that my physical abilities are beyond imagination.
—————————
The saintess gritted her teeth and looked at her empty space.
Currently, her priests and paladins, led by the second princess, were troops stationed near the second princess’s call, and the saintess was also leading her priests in the name of the church’s order due to the second princess’s coy pressure.
And, as the second princess said, they rushed to the large amount of evil energy that suddenly appeared in the village.
However, before they even arrived, a huge lightning bolt that reminded them of God’s judgment with tremendous power fell down and reduced the city to ashes, as if the judgment of God had fallen, and they were stunned and were tracking down any survivors.
However, no survivors could be found, and the saintess’ face hardened.
She killed a large number of innocent people in a single moment, so it was only natural for a saintess who believed in God and valued her life.
And in the eyes of that saintess, an evil black knight soaring in the air and a blue thunderbolt that attacks the black knight, blonde hair with blue eyes… She had a boy from a family she hated so much.
Seeing them like that, the saintess seemed to be grinding her teeth on her own, and her whole body was subtly revealing her divine power full of wrath.
“A heretic and evil being who handles lightning!”
“Stop… Let’s go there!”
However, there was someone who stopped such a saintess, so it was the first princess who was armed with silver armor all over her body and even covered her face with a helmet reminiscent of her lion.
The first princess told her saintess in her calm voice.
“That boy is the heir to the Shine family. He’s not a child you would call a heretic at will. And… Honestly, it’s disappointing. The Cult of Helios is said to be the agent of the goddess who protects humans, but it radiates such wickedness and yet you don’t even know that it’s not a demon. I mean.”
The saintess wanted to refute what the first princess said, but she couldn’t say anything because she was suppressed by the first princess’s fearful spirit.
Accordingly, Princess 1 turned her gaze and focused on the fight between the two, looking at the violent clash between the Black Knight and Artel.
And no one here dared to join the battle as lightning struck from the sky, the ground shattered, and metal coalesced and flew like waves.
