The Demon Prince goes to the Academy

Chapter 662



Chapter 662

On the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.

-Flash!

"Gasp... Huh..."

Christina, drenched in cold sweat, found herself in a remote location after using a mass teleport scroll.

She had almost been killed.

Saviolin Turner had tried to kill her without a second thought.

Christina glanced at the unconscious bodies of Louis and Anna, feeling a tightness in her chest.

"Insane..."

She knew she was in over her head, but she never expected Saviolin Turner to take such drastic action.

Did she even think she could handle it?

However, Christina couldn't help but harden her expression.

As someone who had to issue numerous remote commands, Christina was connected to many facilities and immortals.

Among them, there was no response from the laboratory.

Saviolin Turner was not the only one who had lost her mind.

The underground laboratory of the magic university had vanished as soon as she disappeared.

"Could it have been... from the very beginning?"

With a pale face, Christina mumbled to herself.

Once destroyed, the immortals could no longer be repaired.

Without the massive support of the empire, the facilities couldn't even be built.

While the immortals were intact, they were now irreparable once destroyed.

With a hardened expression, Christina stared blankly at her two unconscious friends.

Now, she had to see the end with the remaining immortals.

No matter what happened.

How much time had passed?

"Ugh... Huh..."

"Ugh..."

Christina watched her friends slowly regain consciousness.

"Wha... Where are we?"

Knowing that they would undoubtedly object to her actions, Christina had drugged them to sleep at the laboratory before the battle at Diane began.

However, it was only natural for them to be shocked when they woke up outdoors after falling asleep in the laboratory.

Where should she begin to explain?

Christina bit her lip as she watched her friends slowly get up.

-Rumble π™—π™šπ™™π’π™€π™«π’†π™‘.π’„π™€π’Ž

All that remained in the place swept by a dazzling flash of light was a massive crater.

Not only had one of the Temple Magic University's research buildings been blown away, but the surrounding buildings had also collapsed due to the impact of the explosion.

In the middle of the crater, where everything seemed to have evaporated, there was a person at the edge.

Saviolin Turner and the area where she had activated her aura field remained intact as if the explosion hadn't touched it.

'I buried explosives in the underground of the magic university.'

'Explosives...? Are you serious?'

'If the immortals return to the battlefield, detonate it. However, those three must not be killed.'

That was the emperor's order.

'There's no reason for the immortals to exist after this battle anyway.'

The immortals were only needed until today.

Thus, facilities to repair immortals were meaningless after today.

No, not only were they meaningless, but their existence was also dangerous.

The problem that would arise from killing Christina wasn't the same as the problem caused by blowing up the laboratory.

With the explosives Saviolin Turner had planted, they couldn't kill the immortals, and they could have actually responded to the explosion.

That's why the laboratory could only be destroyed once all the immortals were gone.

'But... if it's as His Majesty said, then the immortals...'

'They will try to kill Reinhardt.'

That was undoubtedly what would happen.

The Immortals would hunt monsters once they returned to the battlefield, but if Reinhardt and the Demon King's forces revealed themselves on the battlefield, they would engage in battle with them as well.

The Emperor's response to this concern was simple.

"Reinhardt will have to deal with that."

"…Right."

"Isn't our job already done just by preventing the destroyed Immortals from recovering?"

If Saviolin Turner hadn't come, Christina would have sent the Immortals back to the battlefield anyway.

However, if Saviolin Turner hadn't come, the Demon King's army and the allied forces would have had to fight the recovered Immortals as well.

The Immortals would no longer revive.

From now on, the people on the battlefield would have to resolve the situation.

Saviolin Turner could return to the battlefield and continue to fight.

The Emperor did not issue any further orders.

He told her to live her life as she pleased.

That's why she did not head to the battlefield.

She had not died in the last battle.

She was heading somewhere to do her last task.

Not because of someone else's command.

But to do what she had decided on her own volition.

On the battlefield, countless unpredictable events were bound to occur.

However, in this final battle, the Battle of Diane, there had been an excessive number of unforeseen situations.

The first was the sudden disappearance of the Immortals, who were believed to annihilate the monsters at the vanguard.

The second was the sudden appearance of the Demon King.

The third was the emergence of an unknown magic.

The fourth was the earlier-than-expected deployment of the Titan.

The fifth was the appearance of a brave soldier who simultaneously demonstrated the miracles of both healing and death.

And the sixth.

The Immortals, who had disappeared, suddenly started returning to the battlefield.

It was inexplicable, but the Immortals had disappeared and then returned.

They rejoined the battlefield and continued to annihilate the monsters, advancing relentlessly.

Morale, which had been plummeting, slowly began to rise, and once the Immortals returned, it soared.

The unstoppable advance into Diane had begun.

In the end, neither the soldiers who could only see the monsters in front of them nor those who could observe the entire battlefield could know everything happening on the battlefield.

The Immortals' march tearing through the battlefield seemed to be breaking the waves of monsters.

In reality, however, they were chasing the Demon King who had paved the way beyond.

-Rumble!

The Immortals were not heading to Diane by breaking through the monsters.

They were heading there to kill the Demon King.

-Growl!

However, it was clear that the path was still covered with monsters, so they were undoubtedly making their way through. It was just that their destination was different from their actual goal.

The Demon King had leaped into the midst of the monsters, heading forward, while the Immortals chased after him, killing the monsters. The allied forces advanced along the path the Immortals had cleared.

The Demon King and the hero joined forces to clear a path to Diane.

The Immortals followed them.

Then the allied forces followed the path they had opened. To those who did not know the truth, it appeared that way.

However, for the parties involved, the situation was entirely different.

The Demon King was not breaking through the monsters. He was fleeing from the Immortals.

Harriet and Liana could also see the return of the Immortals from their location.

"The Immortal… has returned?"

And they could see the entire horde converging towards the location of the Demon King.

Though the Immortals clearly killed monsters, they would undoubtedly attack not only the forces of the Demon King, but also Liana and Harriet.

The distance between Reinhardt and Harriet was too great for any assistance to be provided.

Too far away.

Harriet was in the middle of the coalition forces, repelling the waves of encroaching monsters from all directions through the magic star.

Helpless.

And the Immortals increasingly rushed towards the Demon King, prioritizing his death above all else.

Too many.

If things continued like this, even Reinhardt would eventually be overwhelmed.

Too far away, and if they recklessly activated large-scale destructive magic, Reinhardt might be swept away as well.

However, the Immortal mages summoned throughout the battlefield had already begun their magical barrage against Reinhardt.

The Immortal mages didn't care if the other Immortals were caught up in the crossfire.

Not only were the pursuers a problem, but the mages were too.

The best course of action in this situation.

Harriet lifted her head.

All around, the air was filled with explosive sounds, screams, and monstrous roars.

An excessively clear sky.

Harriet's eyes widened.

"Liana! Rain!"

"Rain?"

"We need to make it rain!"

"Understood!"

Without asking for a lengthy explanation, Liana, who had noticed the unusual situation, immediately used her power.

While they couldn't provide much help to the distant Reinhardt, they had to ensure that at least the mages' spells wouldn't reach him properly.

And Olivia Lanze, who was spreading the light of healing across the entire battlefield, was also too conspicuous.

Both Reinhardt and Olivia would be targeted by large-scale magic if things continued like this.

Blocking the mages' line of sight was the only way to secure their safety, even if just a little.

Rumble

In the blink of an eye, the clear sky was shrouded by ominous clouds at an astonishing speed.

Drip, plop

Soon.

Raindrops began to fall, one by one.

Whoosh!

Then, a torrential downpour began.

It was not magical, but it was the most effective way to block their vision.

With this, Reinhardt would hopefully be able to hold out a little longer.

However, the problem was that the pouring rain not only blocked the Immortal's sight but also severely limited everyone else's vision.

There was no issue in discerning friend from foe.

But now, they could no longer tell what was happening deep within the battlefield.

Although this might create an unfavorable situation for the coalition forces, they had to prevent the worst-case scenario of Reinhardt's death.

Whoosh!

Rumble

As the downpour continued, lightning struck from the dark clouds, and meteorites continued to fall.

Hell itself had arrived.

It was a scene that seemed like the end of the world.

But they couldn't stop.

They couldn't focus solely on Reinhardt.

Despite successfully activating powerful magic, it was a spell they were not familiar with.

Harriet concentrated her mind once more, believing that she must do everything she could.

At that moment, Harriet saw something rushing towards them beyond the torrential rain, near the limit of her visibility.

It was not from the direction of the monsters, but a soldier wearing a plated helmet and armor, running towards the coalition forces.

Chills ran down Harriet's entire body.

The Immortal didn't just attack the Demon King.

Rather, with their vision obstructed and unable to pinpoint the Demon King's location, some of the Immortals began to hunt down the visible forces of the Demon King.

Naturally, that would include Harriet and Liana.

There was no time to scream.

As the Immortals' gazes were divided, the burden on Reinhardt, who was being pursued by the most Immortals, would be somewhat alleviated.

"Liana..."

"I see it."

Liana had clearly seen the charge of one of the Immortals.

-Zap!

Dozens of lightning bolts poured down from the sky in an instant, striking the charging Immortal.

-Rumble!

Along with the shockwave that tore through the air due to the explosive lightning, the charging Immortal tumbled across the ground several times like a torrential downpour.

However, it charged again despite being hit with a level of lightning that would have blown apart any ordinary monster or human.

It was the charge of a monster that had reached the Master Class.

Its speed was not that of an ordinary human's full strength, but rather that of a battle horse running with all its might or even more.

-Roar! Roar!

The Immortal charged again, taking Liana's lightning strike. Unbelievably, it deflected the lightning with its sword and kept on running.

It wouldn't fall.

"Huff...!"

-Rumble!

If the attack couldn't be blocked, then press it down by applying pressure to the ground.

However, as if the force pushing down on the ground had no effect, the Immortal only slowed down a bit and continued running without hesitation.

Most knights received anti-magic training.

And the Immortals were war heroes or ancient heroes who had become even stronger after death.

Naturally, those who reached the Master Class possessed an enormous level of anti-magic abilities.

Not only physical strength but also lightning was blocked by their aura armor.

"Oh, no..."

Harriet gaped, watching the Immortal that dodged dangerous magical barrages, deflected lightning, and resisted interfering spells while charging.

It was just one creature.

They couldn't even stop the charge of a single Master Class-level Immortal.

It was a fact that everyone had inadvertently forgotten because the number of Immortals had suddenly surged when they were created.

The Master Class was originally considered a strategic weapon even if there was only one.

The Master Class, equipped with the ultimate anti-magic capabilities to become a strategic weapon, was no exception for Harriet, who had completed the most powerful magic.

If only they were a little more familiar with this magic.

They couldn't stop a single one.

And right now, Reinhardt was being pursued by thousands of such strategic weapons.

Worrying about Reinhardt in this situation was foolish.

They had to survive.

Only by surviving could there be a next time.

Both Liana and Harriet tried their best to stop the Immortal's charge, but it wasn't coming through the monsters; it was leaping over the allied forces.

They might be able to stop it with ground-shattering, destructive magic, but that would also kill a huge number of allied troops.

That's why they couldn't stop a single Immortal.

There were countless ways if they were alone, but the Immortal seemed to use the humans as bait, preventing Harriet from using her powerful magic and continued to charge.

A decisive moment.

In the moment when they thought a decision was needed.

The Immortal soldier, who had been running at a furious speed, raised his sword and thrust his aura blade toward Liana, who stood in front of Harriet.

"Liana...!"

The moment Harriet, who had decided that she couldn't let her die, reached out to cast a spell.

-Whoosh!

Someone flew in from somewhere and fiercely collided with the Immortal's flank.

"Cliffman...?"

Cliffman had appeared, having run from somewhere.

Neither Liana nor Harriet had time to be taken aback.

There was no time for a long conversation.

Liana threw herself toward the fallen Immortal.

And before it could regain its posture, she grabbed its nape.

-Rumble!

Fierce lightning began to pour down on Liana's body from the sky.

The lightning seemed to flow through Liana's body and into the Immortal's flesh.

It was as if she was trying to forcibly insert the lightning.

-Zap!

Harriet had to cast a shock resistance spell on everyone nearby.

-Rumble!

If it wouldn't fall after dozens of lightning strikes, she would shoot hundreds of times.

Beyond the limits of its limits, the Immortal was already convulsing, unable to even stand up.

"Die...!"

-Crack!

With a fierce flash that could no longer be called lightning, the Immortal turned to ashes.

"Huff... Hah..."

A concentrated lightning strike at close range.

Cliffman had created an opening, and Liana had finished it off.
