I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

Asmodeus (1)

“stop.”

Chloe, who was in the lead, raised her fist and stopped the group. At first glance, the black-haired man who looked like a demon didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting right away.

A man riding a skeleton horse with glowing blue eyes approached the Crusaders alone. As they got closer, a gigantic figure that was twice as tall as a human stood out.

“This is a message from Lord Asmodeus.”

The man who glanced over the temple army with cold eyes spoke up.

“Shouldn’t you introduce yourself first? Ah, it seems that you don’t have basic manners because you’re a demon.”

Chloe tilted her head and glared at the man.

“If it wasn’t for Asmodeus’s order, the bugs we wouldn’t have even met are so arrogant. I am Count Gram Federacion, commander of the corps serving Lord Asmodeus. You lowly worms.”

“At least the count is so energetic.”

Although she said it vigorously, cold sweat broke out down Chloe’s back. Not a baron or a viscount, but a count.

As in human society, from the count onwards, he was clearly a high-ranking aristocrat.

Not to mention the Demon Count. Originally, even that level of descent was considered a continent-level crisis. I couldn’t have imagined that he’d already summoned the count.

Things weren’t usually serious.

“How dare you judge us by human standards.”

Gram radiated mighty force and crushed the earth.

Gram’s momentum, which had been spreading as if it would press the entire Crusading Army, was blocked at some point as if it were blocked by a wall.

“If you are a messenger, speak like a messenger. Don’t brag unnecessarily.”

Carol said coldly, blocking Gram’s momentum.

“you? Right. Are you Karl von Bernstein?”

Despite the somewhat insulting words, Gram nodded calmly.

“Say Hand over Karl von Bernstein. If so, the generous Lord Asmodeus promised 10 years of inviolability with the nations of the entire continent.”

“Do you think we’ll agree to such a stupid request?”

Chloe laughed and snorted. Handing over Carol was just a ridiculous request. Counts appeared in this short bird, and it was questionable whether the human side would gain an advantage by giving them time.

“If you don’t accept it, you all die here.”

Graham declared calmly.

“I don’t have to listen any more. Dog noises should be done in moderation. All troops, prepare for battle!”

As Chloe drew her weapon, she shouted at the crusaders behind her.

“atmosphere.”

Suddenly, Carol stepped forward and gave the order to stand by.

“Carl-nim?”

Chloe was taken aback by the sudden action and looked at Carol.

“Can I follow you?”

“Yes.”

A twinkle flashed in his eyes. It was the order of the master, so I came here and talked about it, but of course, I didn’t even think about the possibility that the human side would accept it. There was no way I would succumb to the threat of dying if I endured the pain and came here.

“No, Carol. It’s an obvious trap.”

“It is dangerous. You never know what the demons will do.”

Stella and Chloe stopped Carol at the same time.

‘It’s not a bad suggestion.’

Even if Gram was dealt with here, the road to the capital would have to be rough. As you approach, the defense force itself will be on a different level. Do you go through each one? Or are you using the arrogance unique to the demons?

“There are conditions.”

“condition?”

“They go together until near the royal road.”

“Then I cannot guarantee your life.”

Even Gram, the count, could not handle the whims of Asmodeus. If Asmodeus orders them all killed, Gram has no choice but to comply.

“Does not matter.”

If they could enter the enemy’s heartland at once, there would be nothing wrong with Carol and the Crusaders. The worst thing was to meet Asmodeus while exhausted from a battle of attrition.

“Then follow me.”

Gram turned around in a stupefied manner.

– Just listen. When I arrive near the capital, I will take care of this first and immediately attack Asmodeus.

Carol glanced sideways at Gram and sent a telegram to Chloe and Stella.

– There may be troops that panic, so take care of them.

Chloe and Stella’s eyes widened and they nodded slightly. Gram was at the forefront, and he wasn’t very interested in what the crusaders were doing in the rear.

‘You’re arrogant.’

It was unclear whether it was because of his birth as a demon, or if it was the confidence that came from the power of a high-ranking aristocrat.

From Gram to Asmodeus, everyone was careless.

If we ambush and deal with Gram first, the sacrifices of the Crusaders will surely be reduced. Are you cowardly? Carol didn’t care much about what she heard later.

He had no intention of fighting with gentlemanly manners against those who treat humans like bugs and kill them.

* * *

“Hmm, you should have arrived by now.”

Asmodeus lay down on the bed and stretched out his legs, admiring it as if he were looking at a work of art.

“Would humans accept the offer?”

Mkar asked cautiously. Asmodeus’ thoughts were often difficult to guess even for himself, who had served him for a long time. Even if I let out a lot of anger for a moment, I smile broadly again. On the contrary, he gave bloody orders with an angelic smile.

It was like that even now. After spitting out angry words several times for a while because of Carol, she was smiling like a girl before she knew it.

“No matter what. The result won’t change anyway. This is just entertainment.”

“I could have gone, but I didn’t bother going to Count Gram…”

In Mkar’s opinion, Count Gram was not yet in perfect condition. He’s stronger than himself, but he’ll need some more time to regain his power in the Pandemonium.

“Oh, Mkar. I don’t want to lose you in vain.”

“Is a human named Carol like that?”

“I’m sorry, Mkar, you won’t last a second.”

“…”

In the meantime, the reason Asmodeus sent countless demons wasn’t just to harass the Crusaders. Of course, it was hard to see that there was no such intention.

The most important part. I needed to check Carol’s strength a little more.

The kingdom of Resavik was not easy to observe even from Asmodeus’ point of view because it was not close.

The kingdom of Gotland was no different from Asmodeus’ territory.

Unlike the first advent, now he has almost regained his power in the Demon Realm.

Of course, there was a lot more information coming in.

‘The more I look at it, the more I covet it.’

At first, she was clearly outraged at Carol for destroying her precious collectibles.

Right now, his mind was full of thoughts about how to make Carol his own.

‘I need to be as intact as possible.’

It didn’t make much sense to sew up pieces of the corpse and make them into dolls. The material called Carol was too great to use at that level. Seeing him lose hope in despair and pain, he had to be alive in the end in order to corrupt him step by step.

‘Can Gram catch it?’

If there was a problem, that was it. Even from Asmodeus’ point of view, I don’t know if Gram can beat Carol. I didn’t even consider accepting the offer in the first place. If it was Carol, there was a high possibility that he would reject it with a single stroke.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’

After waking up and thinking for a while, Asmodeus lay down on the bed again.

Carol would come here to kill herself anyway.

If Gram fails, it’s a little annoying, but it’s okay if you step out yourself.

‘Ah… I hope you come soon.’

Like a woman suffering from love sickness, Asmodeus twisted his body.

* * *

As I expected.

As they approached the royal road, the number of monsters increased to a level different from before.

It wasn’t just about filling the head count, but like the large centipede we saw before, there were powerful things everywhere that could turn a decent city into a mess if only one appeared.

On the other hand, this side left the wounded and the troops to protect them, so the army that was over 50,000 shrank to less than 40,000.

Of course, that alone was enough to say it was a great army.

Because the opponent is the opponent.

They advanced slowly as if they were cutting through the sea.

There were no attacks, apparently obeying Gram’s orders.

The magic that covered the land became stronger and some knights were even mobilizing the Holy Law to block it.

Of course, I felt comfortable as if I had come to my hometown even in the thick demonic atmosphere.

At the end of such an endless advance, the high walls of the royal capital began to be seen.

The splendid royal road of the kingdom of Gotland was still revealing its majesty.

It’s just that there aren’t people in it.

If Lesavik was the city of the living dead.

Gotland fell silent as if the entire city were dead.

– When I signal, the battle begins immediately.

Not to mention Chloe and Stella beforehand.

Even Archbishop Urbano and key commanders. I sent an electronic message.

“Only you can enter inside.”

Gazing at the open gates of the royal capital, Gram’s shaped eyes shone.

“Of course.”

Considering the huge demonic pillars reminiscent of the Imperial Mage Tower, it was risky for a large army to enter the capital.

I have no choice but to disperse my forces outside and hold out until I defeat Asmodeus.

The energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art was slowly warmed up so that Gram could not feel it.

Obviously, Gram was weaker than Dragon. However, this one was by no means an easy opponent to watch. If you attack as much as possible and cut it down at once, you will be able to prevent troublesome things from happening.

“Then we will be waiting.”

Greeted by Chloe, he entered the royal capital alone.

“If you act disrespectfully to Asmodeus, I will not forgive you. Even if He forgives, I will kill you.”

Gram spoke in a hoarse voice.

– Start.

At the same time as giving orders to the Crusaders.

I pulled out the black lightning and swung it at him.

Rurrr

“Who are you killing?”

Responding to the threat I just heard, with a sneer.

“what…?!”

The boy opened his eyes in bewilderment. It was as if I hadn’t expected at all that I would be attacked in this way.

I tried to respond by somehow pulling out the ominous sword from my waist.

My sword was already cutting through the guy’s throat.

“The demons I saw in the past would die if their heads were cut.”

The demons who attacked Princess Riena were not much different from humans.

“Are you different?”

The red demonic energy mixed with the dark ink color, and he cut off his limbs while hacking at his neck as well as his entire body.

“dare…!”

The severed head melted away and regenerated in its original form in the remaining body.

“As expected, you don’t die at once.”

As with dragons, when it comes to high-ranking demons, it was clear that there was another way to maintain life.

Outside, the sound of clashing knives could be heard loudly as if the battle had already begun.

He finally pulled out his sword and fired a crescent-shaped slash at me.

Although the power of each one is strong, it seems that the amputation of the limbs did not have an effect.

The hit rate was terrible. It’s just destroying the poor city.

Pak-

In an instant, I approached him and cut his throat again. This time, without giving a gap, the regenerated foot was repeatedly sliced.

“Aagh!! you bastard…! cowardly!”

I also knew that something like this would come out.

“Didn’t you treat humans as bugs? Do you yell at the bugs for being cowardly?”

“dare! Asmodeus-sama’s favor like this!”

It would be difficult to say because his whole head had been smashed, but he shouted as he persevered.

Gram focused on repeating shattered and regenerated.

In less than a minute, if it was an ordinary life form, it was enough to kill dozens of times, and when I applied an attack, I could see a certain amount of energy.

“Was it like that?”

I approached him and picked up the black red sword that shimmered with haze, and immediately pushed the energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art into the sword.

“no way…? aaah—!”

also.

What looked like a human was not the main body.

He let out a terrifying scream at the energy of the Heavenly Demon Spirit that forcibly swallowed the inside of the sword.

Gram’s identity was simple.

magic sword.

The demonic sword that had lived for a long time gained a body and finally rose to the rank of the demonic count.

Of course, unless the demonic sword itself was subdued, the body was meaningless.

In addition, due to the nature of the magic sword, there was a risk of being devoured even if the identity was known.

Of course, I couldn’t resist the energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art that was forcibly beaten.

In the end, the evil sword spirit hiding inside disappeared.

It was too futile to be the death of an Asmodeus corps commander who dominated the demon realm and a demon count.

“Oh no, it’s late.”

An unconventional outfit that exposes as much as a swimsuit.

A sharp-eyed woman suddenly appeared in front of me and sighed.

As well as her beautiful appearance and the ecstatic halo behind her head, she would have been believed to be an angel had it not been for the thick smell of blood and demons.

“If this is the case, the balance is not right… Karl von Bernstein, won’t you be mine? I don’t want to destroy you.”

Didn’t answer.

The level of ‘that’, spoken lightly, was different from anything I’d seen so far.

What would it be like if you faced a whole dragon? I could feel the hairs all over my body standing up naturally.

Looking at Asmodeus’s eyes, shining like snakes, I was convinced.

‘Things like that’ should not be released into the human world.

you have to catch it here

Ignoring what Asmodeus was saying, he immediately struck down the black lightning.
