How To Survive at the Demon Academy

The road to the place where the King of Neptune resides.

Although it was unintentional, it was a situation where the surrounding Nectunes were hunted, so there were almost no Nectunes encountered.

Occasionally, a couple of them rushed at them, but they did not interfere with their movement.

With no place to pay attention, naturally, my eyes went to the people around me.

‘It’s quiet.’

Two people just walking without saying anything.

Radius was really quiet, and Hercules also rarely spoke first, so a quiet atmosphere naturally formed.

To break the awkward atmosphere, I asked Radius a question.

“I heard earlier that you have been here several times, is that correct?”

nod-

“Have you dealt with the King of Neptune yourself?”

nod-

“Has there been any change from the last time you came?”

Dori Dori-

‘Wow… I really have no words.’

It seemed that he would not speak unless he was in a situation where he had to speak to express his intentions.

Still, I figured out through the question, I think it’s not as difficult as I thought.

Radius has also completed his task, so he can be by our side now.

As I confirmed through the status window, I am not weaker than Radius. The story that such Radius passed, so I can do it enough.

‘Unless there is a huge change, it will be okay.’

Radius said there was no change, so there seems to be no need to worry.

I asked, looking at Herculus walking side by side.

“By the way, did you do any special training?”

“There is nothing like that. Why?”

“I’ve said it before, but I think I’ve become stronger than before.”

“It must be an illusion. Nothing much has changed since then.”

Hercules answered in a calm voice.

But there was a slight bewilderment in his voice.

‘Oh, do you mean you want to hide it?’

From my point of view, who can see the status window, I can clearly see the growth of Herculus.

Herculus didn’t know that, so it wasn’t unusual for Hercules to look around like that.

‘Come to think of it, even when dealing with Nectune, it felt like I was controlling my strength.’

It was a composition where I swept everything from the front, and it was a concept supported by Herculus, so I might have used relatively less power, but it definitely didn’t feel like I was giving my all.

‘Well, if you don’t want to talk, there’s no need to ask.’

I slowly looked at the scenery around me.

Huge trees were proud of their majesty.

Interestingly, the color of the leaves is black.

‘It’s not rotten.’

It was not a rotten black color, but a black color that even shined.

Other than that, it wasn’t much different from Earth’s trees.

“Well?”

Suddenly, something strange happened to my eyes.

The scene of falling leaves.

Of course, it is not at all unusual for leaves to fall.

The problem is what happened next.

‘has disappeared.’

The leaves that were supposed to stay there when they fell off disappeared in an instant.

It was not blown away by the wind and disappeared as if it had been absorbed into the ground.

‘what?’

I looked at the other trees around me and saw that the same situation was unfolding.

All the falling black leaves were disappearing without a trace.

‘I don’t know what the phenomenon is.’

It could be a magical phenomenon, so the moment I was about to ask Herculus for his opinion.

Whoops.

There was a huge noise that shook the ground.

Whoops.

And the noise was getting closer.

“That… .”

A situation where a huge peak is approaching before you know it.

Then, beneath the peak, I noticed something gigantic moving.

“Thank you for coming on your own.”

It was the appearance of the king of Neptune.

* * *

Big aaa!

The King of Neptune who appeared.

The emotion I felt for the first time when I saw him.

‘It’s filthy big.’

The size of Nectune, whom I faced earlier, was also on the large side.

However, the king in front of him right now was not at a level that could be explained by simply saying that he was big.

The overwhelming size of several buildings combined.

The king was proud of his enormous size, making Neptune look like a child.

“It’s definitely a majesty worthy of the name of a king.”

It’s not just about size.

His strength was also unusual.

as proof.

[The skill Indomitable is activated.]

It was because the passive that was triggered when facing an enemy stronger than me was being activated.

“Hmm… .”

Turning my head slightly, I saw Radius in the distance.

His expressionless face showed a will to never get involved.

‘Well, I didn’t even expect it.’

In the end, Herculus and I had to defeat him together.

“I will attack from the front, so you ask for cover.”

“i get it.”

Since they had previously worked together in magic dungeons, it seemed that there was no need to share opinions.

“Let’s see how hard it is.”

In the case of Nectune, it could be blown away in one hit, but that size didn’t seem easy.

Koo Woo-wook.

He clenched his fists and compressed his demonic energy.

A red aura formed on the fist.

Arrows that pierce the enemy are created using the refined magic energy as nourishment.

“Dablic Requiem.”

aaang!

A red beam of light fired with a roar that shook the air.

aaa!

In response, the king of Neptune rushed.

Huge enough to darken the surroundings.

In comparison, Diablic Requiem’s beam of light seemed too thin.

But.

Whoops!

The phenomenon caused by the thin beam of light was by no means lax.

A Diablic Requiem that pierced the king’s side and created a huge hole.

big

The king kneels with a moan of pain.

‘It won’t be difficult.’

There is still plenty of room for Magi.

At least to the level of being able to use Diablic Requiem a few more times.

I continued training so that I wouldn’t burn out after using Diablic Requiem once like before, and my stats had improved quite a bit.

In addition, the overwhelming size of the king was acting as a disadvantage in the current situation.

It was because he had become a big target and was exposed to attacks.

Of course, he wouldn’t have been hit by a moderate attack, but Diablic Requiem is different.

It can penetrate the king’s body enough to inflict damage, and if it is aimed at a vital point, it can inflict even greater damage.

‘Then let’s keep attacking… Well?’

As I was about to gather Magi again, something strange happened to my eyes.

The ground where the leaves fell earlier.

Something was happening there.

big

It was a normal Nectune.

In an instant, more than 30 Nectunes were raising their bodies and roaring.

‘no way?’

I turned my head and looked around.

Falling black leaves.

It seemed to have disappeared without a trace, but it wasn’t.

It was to be resurrected after being transformed into Nectune from the ground.

A concept like a kind of seed.

I finally understood what Michael was saying.

Not the habitat, but the place of production.

The trees full of surroundings were the production factories where Nectune was made.

‘Though it’s a little out of place for such a large figure to come out of that small leaf.’

trees all around.

Each tree had at least 10 and at most 30 leaves.

‘It’s not normal if they hatch at the same time.’

That there could be hundreds or thousands of Neptune troops appearing.

No matter how easy it was to deal with, it was difficult to handle that number.

Moreover, now we have to deal with the king of Neptune.

“Herculus, those leaves… .”

“okay. Maybe that’s like a production base.”

The wizard Hercules also seemed to quickly grasp the situation.

“Could you take care of the little guys as much as you can? I will try to deal with the king.”

“It certainly seems that way. The destructive power of one shot is because you are overwhelmingly strong.”

There was no reason to hesitate once the decision had been made.

Hercules’ magic flew toward Nectune, who was charging at him from all directions.

wooow.

Roaring.

grip support.

Quarreureung.

Wind, fire, lightning, earthquake.

Various types of magic defeated the Neptunes one after another, and the road to the king was empty for an instant.

I didn’t miss the chance and flew towards the open road.

big!

Huge paws flew in, darkening the surroundings.

A threat so overwhelming that if stepped on, it leaves no trace and turns to dust. Of course, the story when it was stepped on.

Whoops.

A huge shockwave that shook the earth.

But I had already left.

The place where I flew quickly and arrived was on the king’s shoulder.

A huge king’s eye came into my field of vision.

A pupil the size of a fairly large building.

I filled it with demonic energy towards it and launched an attack.

Wow!

Hey hey!

The king screams in pain and waves his hands.

After moving to the other side to avoid the hand attacking the whole body, the attack continued.

Wow!

The pain in his eyes caused the king to close his eyes, and for a moment, he stopped moving.

And taking advantage of that gap, he fired Diablic Requiem.

Whoops!

The sound of something piercing through.

The attack that pierced the thick eyelid also pierced the pupil behind it.

aaa!

The king roars in agony while spewing fountains of green blood.

Attacking the weakest part seemed like a good choice.

‘The wound on his side and even his eyes were blown away, so I can easily knock him down… Well?’

At that moment, the king’s wounds, which were rapidly recovering, came into my eyes.

The wound on his side has already been completely healed, and his eyes are quickly recovering.

It was not just a level of recovery, but a level of resilience that turned back time.

‘As expected, it’s different from normal monsters. Is it still a king?’

The resilience was more than I expected, but there is nothing to worry about.

Anyway, the attack will be one-sided from my side, and if you deal damage several times, you will be able to knock it down.

However.

Wow!

Whoops!

Whoops!

After successfully attacking several times, I realized the seriousness of the situation.

‘Is the recovery even infinite?’

None of the damage I inflicted was anything but fatal.

I deliberately focused on vital points, and I did my best to attack.

However, all those wounds and damages were being restored neatly.

I’ve dealt with a similar type of monster in the past Hunter days, but at least that guy had a limit to recovery.

But the King of Neptune seemed to have no such limits.

‘If I go on like this, I’ll get tired first.’

No matter how much you practice, you get used to it, but Diablic Requiem is a skill that consumes a lot of demonic energy.

It was not a skill that could be used indefinitely.

Besides, it was difficult to damage that gigantic monster with moderate attacks, so in the end, I had to fight when I could use Diablic Requiem.

But how?

In the first place, there is no comparison in the weight class.

He did not yet have the ability to launch an attack powerful enough to annihilate that large body.

That’s why I continued the battle in the way of aiming for vital points, but the situation became meaningless because of the ridiculous resilience.

“Herculus. Do you have any good ideas?”

Just in case, I looked at Herculus, who was throwing magic.

At least since he’s a magician, he’ll be better than me in terms of turning his head.

“Well… .”

Hercules shook his head, flying fireballs from his hands.

“There is a way, but I can’t use it in the current situation.”

“Why?”

“I have to make a magic circle and collect demons again, but it’s hard to buy that time.”

Certainly it was.

If I deal only with the King of Nectune, I will be able to take my time and Herculus will be able to create a magic circle.

But now, there were a lot of normal Neptunes around.

In addition, the number of Nectunes born from leaves was increasing even at this moment.

as much as it destroys. No, rather a situation where more numbers are being filled.

It was clear that he would not let Herculus comfortably create a magic circle.

‘Is there any way?’

It might be better to just give up and aim for the next opportunity.

In the first place, this is a test of difficulty that is difficult for ordinary students to handle.

And I still had room to take out the body, but it could be difficult if I delayed more time, so it was good to make a choice quickly.

‘I can’t help it.’

The moment you decide to retreat and fall back.

-Wow! It is a very large and ugly monster.

I heard the voice of the hidden card I had forgotten.
