We went to school for nothing (277)
Lesson 54. Things not to touch – 2
The party finished their meal without incident after that.
Cron continued to pass out, but Shati called a maid to move him to the bedroom.
“The princess did something as soon as she came back after a long time.”
“I didn’t do it.”
“Nene Cron-sama passed out by banging his head on the table on his own.”
Just like the Demon Realm, the ladies-in-waiting are not normal.
Without showing any sign of heaviness, the maid carrying the crone did not want to leave, but looked back at Shati and said,
“The Demon King is really happy. Since the princess has awakened the power of the first demon king, conquering a higher dimension is not a dream.”
“That’s why I hate that kid. Don’t drag me into that big dream.”
“Even if you say that, we know everything about the princess. Now that you have gained the strength you deserve, you should be able to freely unfold your will!”
“Ha… yes, do it like that.”
Shati did not bother to prolong the conversation, but sent the maid away with an expression like ‘I didn’t want to come here for this reason’.
“Let’s go now. I asked to see him show off his strength, so I have to go and see him.”
“Senior family relationships are really incredibly complicated.”
“What is it, Planning Director? Are you interested in me now? Still, I was determined to intervene in our family history— oh Mira! It’s a joke!”
Kouuung— I guess a collision had already occurred, and I heard an explosion in the distance.
Ban Yu-won managed to stop the small-scale conflict that was happening here as well, and led the party outside.
no, just before that.
“Ayre.”
“huh.”
Ban Yu-won held out a hand to Aire, who calmly responded as if she knew her name would be called.
“This is a gift.”
“If it’s a gift, like last time… Oh?”
It’s like I wasn’t expecting it either.
Satisfied when he saw Aire’s expressionless eyes wide open, what he placed on her palm was a cold blue and transparent… ice crystal containing tremendous ice magic within it.
Everyone guessed where it came from.
“I would have thought that the junior had the talent of a great sword. Is it fair to trick even the demon king?”
“It wasn’t cheating or stealing. I just took care of it by restoring what had already disappeared. Recently, I’ve been training to create tangible things from intangible things, which is helpful. Take Aire.”
“…amazing.”
The ice shield that the demon king handled was a smelting of ancient mysteries in the form of a shield, but Ban Yu-won extracted only the concept of pure mystery from the fragments of the shield that were about to be completely destroyed and scattered, and succeeded in processing it into a crystal form.
The words are easy, but if he hadn’t recently been training to create goblins in the tower, he wouldn’t have succeeded.
At that time, he would have given the concept to the artifact he had in a hurry, but it would have been impossible to deliver only the essence to Aire like now.
“More than the shield I saw earlier… it’s amazing.”
“Of course, that shield is the result of weakening and sealing it in order to somehow deal with the power it couldn’t handle. Adding anything to a concept doesn’t make it a plus. There are some things that deepen loneliness while removing unnecessary things.”
“I don’t know what you mean, but I do know that Yoo-won is giving a present to a woman other than me.”
Mira pouted her lips, saying that she must have been the subject of this trip.
Hearing Mira’s words, Ayre blinked a couple of times with her blue eyes that were as clear as the autumn sky, and without saying a word, she slightly pushed her bangs forward, emphasizing the snow crystal hairpin she had received from Ban Yu-Won in the past.
Silky veins appeared on Mira’s forehead.
“Hey, follow me to the top of the castle.”
“Calm down Mira! The demon castle has all collapsed, but where is the top!”
“So how long are you going to be here?”
Fortunately, the battlefield was not too far away.
As if the Human Empire had decided to put an end to it today, even the Emperor’s personal knights, whom Shati said were the most elite of the Human Empire, invaded the border.
From their point of view, it was rather natural for them to believe that Shati, who suddenly appeared from beyond the dimension, swept away the imperial army with her mighty power, and that the castle collapsed as soon as she entered the demon realm, so she was determined to destroy the demon realm from the beginning.
And all of them–.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha! The Heavenly Demon gave me a big present and left!”
All of them were being smashed by a single demon king rampaging on the frontlines with a greatsword in one hand.
According to the person himself, even after breaking like that earlier, he seems to have gotten stronger.
I had heard earlier that Nameless had helped control the demon lord’s blood magic and left, but I didn’t know that it would lead to an increase in power.
“Come more! The demon king that you humans want to kill so much is here, but where is your human emperor and what are you doing!”
As the demon king let out a shout and swung his greatsword, the bloody magic that followed the trajectory attacked the humans and pulverized them.
As the patterns on the backs of the Demon King’s hands emitted eerie light, the blood-colored demons took the bodies of dead humans as their bodies.
It attacks humans, produces corpses again, eats human death, and summons stronger monsters with the power of the Demon King, which is constantly displayed.
They hunted stronger humans and grew in size again with the power of the demon king. This time, they attacked the Imperial Guard, the most elite force of the Human Empire, and bit off their weapons and armor.
It is terribly cruel and terribly strong.
It was hard to believe that he was the same person as the demon king who was constantly beaten and rolled on the floor by unknown.
“Anyway, one ability to handle authority is…”
Shati frowned at the demon king’s exercise of authority as if he completely disregarded the concept of dignity that should be given to all beings.
On the other hand, Mira was watching the black group running through the battlefield together, assisting him, not the demon king who was shooting matchless.
“Is that the Dark Horse Corps?”
“Ah yes.”
They all wore black armor that covered their entire body and held shields with thorns. It was truly ferocious to see them completely block all attacks from the demon king and at the same time violently swinging their shields to clear away everything in their path.
The red blood magic connects all of them and builds a kind of movement barrier, and even it seems to be equipped with attack capabilities.
“Among the Evil Ones, these are rare guys with abilities specialized in protecting something. Perhaps that’s why I wanted them because there was little runaway blood magic and we basically had to fight while protecting the fairies.”
“The ability to protect…”
Mira thought that if they could be said to protect all enemies by erasing them before a threat to their allies, they would be good guardians too.
Ban Yu-Won also nodded, deciding that it was worth it for Shati to get them down and lead them all to Diavolo.
“It sounds strong. If we can keep pace with the demon king and face the elite of the human empire head-on, surely even against higher dimensional opponents…” “
Kyahahaha, those are all my subordinates now! Have I become a little respectful?”
“Well, that would be the case only if they follow the advice of their seniors, right?”
“…”
It wasn’t Shati who couldn’t understand what Banyuwon was saying.
she said, squinting her eyes at him.
“It’s a battlefield that has nothing to do with me. It’s not the Evil One who runs amok drunk with blood magic. You want me to kill those humans?”
“If the senior wants to use the authority of the successor of the Devil Castle to command the Black Horse Corps, then of course he should, right? And if it’s the Empire of Man, you’ve already killed a lot from the time you entered this dimension. Why are you pretending to be innocent now?”
“Wow, there’s no way to say a word that you’re not really his woman.”
“Sounds natural.”
When Ban Yu-Won snorted and replied, she glared at him and nodded.
“I know, I know, but it was just because I didn’t like that bastard. It’s been a while since I’ve brought my friends, so why don’t we just greet them politely…”
As expected, she still had in mind the fact that the demon king had revealed his intent to kill Banyuwon’s party.
Shati, who was annoyed as she tousled her hair with one hand, eventually let out a deep sigh and floated in the air.
The high-ranking magic annihilation magic that she manifested worked in conjunction with her horns and wings, gradually amplifying her momentum.
“I’ll be back and I’ll make them follow my words without making a sound anywhere.”
“Bye.”
Shaking her head in disgust at the sight of the half-yuwon waving her hand, Shati flew straight into the middle of the battlefield.
Shati, who reached the forefront by crossing over the heads of the Dark Horse Troops who were equally agitated and ignoring the demon king who was surprised by her eyes wide open, held out her hand holding the scepter forward and deployed her power to the maximum.
“Explode everything! Kyahahahaha!”
Throughout Shati’s life, blood magic did not obey her will.
It was partly because she wasn’t born with it, but it was also because she hated blood magic.
But now, to my surprise, the whole area of blood magic reacted greatly to the power she manifested with her annihilation magic and rushed in.
Perhaps it was the natural obedience of blood magic, the power of the next generation, to the magic of destruction, the power of the first demon king.
―Quaang! Kwakwagwagwagwang!
The authority embodied in the annihilation magic she embraced endlessly strengthened its destructive power through the influence of the horns and winged scepter, and blood magic reacted to it, amplifying the realization range in an instant.
The result was a series of explosions that were even more magnificent than when dealing with the border forces of the Empire earlier.
It was truly overwhelming to see a part of the Knights Templar, which is said to consist of only the strongest knights in the human Empire, get caught up in it and disappear as it is.
“Quaaaaaagh! The witch didn’t betray her father!”
“I should have expected it from the time the demon king appeared in good shape, damn it!”
“The magic power… The magic power of the area is being lost. Could it be that he has more power than the demon lord?!”
“Kill! Kill the witch first!”
No matter how powerful authority and magical power she obtained, the fact that she appeared in the middle of the battlefield, and in the middle of the air that anyone could see, looked more than confident and arrogant.
Of course, she was prepared for all kinds of attacks that would come at her.
―Urahaaaaaa!
After designating Shati as the first target to kill, an arrow loaded with a thick aura and sniper magic flew in and right before it penetrated her, a monster appeared in the air with a bizarre spirit.
Surprisingly, his true identity is the Bronze Devil that Shati called while experimenting with powers with the former half-yuwon.
The bastard who had sworn to follow Shati on the condition that he not be detonated with authority, surprisingly accepted the extinction magic and evolved, his whole body covered in dark black and luminous gold.
―Nothing can break the Black Gold Devil!
“Guess the name…!”
The moment Ban Yu-Won shuddered at the name he couldn’t stand being tackled, all the arrows and magic aimed at Shati bent their trajectories and hit the monster.
But surprisingly, he absorbed all of it perfectly without a single noise, and when he converted it all into annihilating magic and fired it with his fingertips, it showed power that cut off everything he aimed at like a laser beam.
―All blocked! Blocked all of them!
“Good work, I will continue to do so in the future.”
Black Gold Devil proves his loyalty by throwing himself out of fear that Shati will explode.
Shati smiled with a satisfied smile and began to gather her magic again, and the monster perfectly protected its owner, giving her time to manifest her powers.
Shati herself must not have known that the family she had accidentally gathered would be of help in that way…
“Huh?”
And the Dark Horse Corps, as well as the Demon King, clearly saw all of them.
“The authority is as expected, but before I knew it, even my family. Ha, that’s quite right.”
He didn’t understand, and he didn’t even bother to understand, why she hadn’t tried to fight in the first place, why she had suddenly come out and wiped out the human empire.
The only important thing now is the fact that the daughter who proved her qualifications as the successor of the Demon King’s castle with her arms is fighting at the head of the Demon King’s army!
“Look, that woman is the woman who will be your master from now on!”
“I’m watching, Your Majesty the Demon King!”
“Then what are you doing, follow Shati and charge everyone! Today, we will finally cut the lifeline of the human empire! Kahahaha!”
It was a human empire that was confident enough to dispatch even the Knights Templar, but the emperor was hiding in a safe palace, and in the end, the demon king’s ambitious goal of destroying the empire that day could not be achieved.
However, because all of the knights who protected the emperor were annihilated except for the remaining troops, the emperor eventually died in the internal conflict that occurred in the empire, and the same goes for other members of the imperial family.
The human empire lost its pivot and wandered, and the Demon King’s army succeeded in completely declining the slowly sinking empire by eating little by little here and there.
The long and protracted dispute over control of the A-4 dimension came to an end.
