I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

Holy War (1)

“Andra Kingdom has been completely occupied by the Empire.”

“I heard the same goes for the Calvados Federation.”

“What will happen to our Lesavik?”

“I saw it on my way back, and the Imperial Army was already spread all over the area.”

Benelux.

Lesavik, a huge trading city of the Lesavik Kingdom built near the meeting point of the Kingdom of Andhra and the Principality of Warsaw. As if to prove the active exchanges between the three countries, it prospered as much as the cities of the merchant republics on the continent.

Since the imperial army that occupied the Kingdom of Andhra approached near the border of the Kingdom of Resavik, the public sentiment of Benelux was unmatched.

There was still a little time left before the date we were supposed to join Count Manstein.

I stopped by Benelux near the ruins to purchase items needed for training.

The faces of the people passing by were full of anxiety. Seeing as the troops going out to defend the outside were less visible than expected, it seemed that they had no intention of defending the city itself.

Snow flurries in the light purple sky, and the sunlight doesn’t shine properly even during the day, so there’s a cold vibe.

The whole city was tinged with melancholy, but traders still kept their shops open and sold their wares with a smile.

“Sir, did you hear? They say the Imperial Army is right in front of you.”

A shop I accidentally stopped by to buy women’s clothes.

The store owner spoke quietly.

“Does not matter.”

I’m on the side of the Imperial Army. It felt like being a trio. Although it was not intended.

“Heh heh, it’s the first time I’ve seen an aristocrat who doesn’t fear the imperial army in the fortress of Benelux. You have a big dam. Do you want someone to wear it?”

“I am a woman in my twenties. As for his height… it comes to a little above my shoulders.”

“Then how about this one?”

The store owner took out various things from the inside and laid them out. Maybe it was because the area was different, but the clothes were definitely different from those of the Central Continent.

“I’ll buy everything with it.”

“Thank you, sir!”

Picking out just one outfit was more of a headache than fighting in a battlefield.

I never thought I would live and experience this.

After buying all the clothes and some items.

Because of the heavy cloud of war, all the tourists had disappeared, so they took a room in an empty inn and took the water lilies out of the subspace again.

With her pink hair flying, Soo-ryun sat down neatly, staring at me as before.

When I put all the clothes I bought into the subspace, I was surprised to see that I was dressed properly inside.

“Do you understand?”

this was the most important In the current situation, it was unreasonable to teach them one by one.

Nod.

Fortunately, judging from the fact that he nodded right away, there seemed to be no problem listening even though he didn’t know what he was talking about.

“The situation is not good enough to take care of you. For the time being, I will have to enter the sub-space frequently, doesn’t it matter?”

nod

this is no problem either. I didn’t really want to put training in the shape of a person into a subspace like an object, but I couldn’t help it until the war ended and I returned to the academy.

“Do you need a meal?”

“…”

There was no expression on his face, but he could sense that he was worried.

“contract.”

Soo-ryun whispered in a small voice. Could you say simple words?

“Hasn’t the succession already ended?”

dory dory.

As if that wasn’t the case, Su-ryun shook her head.

“contract.”

“Is there a difference between succession and making a direct contract with you?”

Nod.

“What is the procedure?”

Soo-ryun, who was staring at me, jumped up and approached me, who was sitting in a chair. Then he grabbed my wrist, lifted it up, and lightly kissed the back of my hand.

It felt a little different from Black Lightning, but the thoughts of training were conveyed directly through the imagery. To be precise, this one was more straightforward.

“To agree.”

A shining magic circle filled the room under the feet of the slightly smiling Su-ryun, and a somewhat unfamiliar sensation settled in me.

Similar to Elemental Contracts, but closer.

Then, information flowed naturally into my head.

‘Dragon magic.’

I thought it was a type of hand-to-hand combat because the weapon was a sickle, but in reality it was completely unexpected. It was the one who used magic. It also specializes in dragon magic.

I had heard about dragon magic in a legend about dragons that Selina had been passing by before.

An ancient magic that uses the Spirit of the Word. A short activation time that is close to the windowless window. And unreasonably overwhelming efficiency.

When I asked why he used an inefficient weapon like a scythe, it seemed that it corresponded to a kind of magician-like amplifier.

“Is this the end of the contract?”

Nod.

Somehow, for a warrior, there didn’t seem to be much energy inside the body.

When it came to magic, everything made sense.

Compared to warriors who regard their body as a microcosm and operate it mainly with energy inside the body, magicians are specialized in using outside air. Of course, the magician had less energy inside the body than the warrior.

In any case, this one was better for me.

Because martial arts and magic are different realms.

It remains to be seen what training can do.

I had no intention of starting a fight right away anyway.

“Please stay away.”

I don’t know if it’s the effect of the contract or not, but training tried to stick to me like a child.

If it was a real child, it wouldn’t have mattered much, but on the outside, she was a grown woman.

Soo-ryun narrowed her eyes and slightly opened the distance with a delicate expression.

Even though it was the path I chose, I couldn’t help but sigh a little when I saw that figure.

* * *

“This is Won. Compared to the time of Andra Kingdom, it’s easier than lying down and eating a cake.”

Count Manstein clicked his tongue with an expressionless expression.

After clearing the kingdom of Andra to some extent, Count Manstein’s army, which came up from the south, was occupying the territory without a proper battle.

“It must have been a shock that the kingdom of Andhra fell into our hands.”

The staff member next to him nodded in agreement.

In fact, I expected to some extent that this would happen.

Feudalism can be seen as similar to a kind of organized gang.

Even if they fight each other in their own territory, when a national crisis occurs or an external enemy invades, they unite and fight together around the eldest brother, the monarch.

Because that was the reality of feudalism in this world.

Of course, the moment when the monarch, including the king, can’t play the role of ‘big brother’ properly and can’t protect the younger brothers.

There were bound to be a lot of people with different minds.

Because it would be better for me to surrender and change the ‘eldest brother’ rather than struggling to resist.

Of course, he would suffer huge losses in exchange for surrender, but he thought that was better than having the pillars rooted out.

Every key point was welcoming the imperial army with its doors wide open.

“By the way, Prince Carol…?”

Count Manstein opened his eyes and looked at me.

“What are you doing?”

“Who is that woman… by any chance?”

Looking at Soo-ryun riding a horse with me, I asked cautiously.

While advancing, when there was nothing special, I spent most of my time outside to adapt to the world rather than putting it in a sub-space, so I couldn’t help but be drawn to it.

It was said that the horns were hidden with magic in a costume that did not match the battlefield at all, but even without that, it was a striking appearance.

“hmm.”

Why didn’t you ask until now?

Considering Count Manstein’s expression, which had been filled with curiosity, it was rather easier to endure until now.

“He’s just a kid who happens to be in charge.”

“Oh, yes! I mean, it doesn’t look out of the ordinary.”

“…I do have a special talent.”

Suddenly, Soo-ryun nodded slightly.

“It was too. I think it’s a bit big for Aichi, but hehehe.”

“…”

While moving along the mountain road with the troops, a high-pitched cry was heard.

Immediately, a hawk descended from the sky and handed me a wad of paper.

“Is it the Ministry of Information?”

It was a frequent occurrence for me to receive information from the Secret Intelligence Service or the Intelligence Department, so Count Manstein looked up at the falcon and asked.

“Yes, the situation is similar here in other areas. They say they are advancing to the capital without much resistance.”

“I’ll have to see how Felix II turns out. I don’t know if I’ll just surrender.”

If only Lesavik surrendered, the Duchy of Warsaw would not have to worry much.

As long as the Nantes fortress had collapsed anyway, Lessavique didn’t have that much power. A turn or two will decide everything.

It wasn’t long until the Southwest Pyeongjeong.

* * *

“Anyway, is this all!”

The King of Lesavik Kingdom, Felix II, expressed his anger by bursting into anger.

Even Felix II knew that the situation was overwhelmingly unfavorable. Still, he believed that there would be some nobles willing to die to protect the historic kingdom.

However, in the immediate result, Felix II was on the verge of collapsing as he grabbed his back. An army of less than 50,000.

Excluding the troops gathered from the direct control of the royal family, the number of troops sent by the nobles was less than 20,000.

I knew that the Empire’s troops are at a level that would frighten me just hearing rumors, and many people hesitated because of the experience of Nantes Fort collapsed in vain like that.

This was too bad, too bad.

“…no more, Your Highness.”

“hahahaha… Our Lesavik’s hundreds of years of history will end in my generation. I am not familiar with seeing the faces of my ancestors…”

Felix II, with a dark face, raised his forehead and let out a deep sigh.

Where did I go wrong? Having too much faith in Cain and Yuphir? Embracing the very idea of going against the Empire?

It’s all over anyway. At first glance, the number reported was that more than 300,000 troops were flocking here. Considering the quality of troops, in fact, it had to be seen as a power difference of more than 10 times.

“Your Highness… why don’t you consider surrendering…?”

The few loyalists left by Felix II knelt down, gritted their teeth, and spoke.

“It can’t be. I’d rather die if I die, I can’t surrender to the imperial bastards.”

clap clap clap

Suddenly, from somewhere, the sound of applause echoed across the wide battlefield.

“Who are you!”

Ignoring the shouts of the guards and servants, the black-haired man appeared and approached Felix II in an instant.

“stop!”

Feeling that the opponent was not serious, Felix II stopped the guards and servants.

“You are wise.”

With a fishy smile, the dark-haired man looked at Felix II and bowed slightly.

“I am Baron Mkar, who is serving Asmodeus, the Demon Duke.”

“A demon? What’s going on with the demons here?”

“I would like to make a suggestion.”

“Do it and do it, now it’s a star…”

Felix II held back his anger as he gripped the handle of the throne.

“If we continue like this, the Lesavik Kingdom will collapse without any resistance.”

“So, are you here to make fun of me?”

“First, let me tell you one thing. Asmodeus, the Demon Duke, has descended on this continent.”

“what…?”

The high-ranking demons, and the descent of demons at that.

It was an unprecedented situation in the history of the continent.

The king of the country, Felix II, of course knew how serious it was.

“How the hell…?”

Felix II widened his eyes in amazement.

As much as that, it was never easy for the demon to descend.

“I will only tell you that I used a special method. Rather than being trampled on by the Empire like this, how about making a contract with my master?”

“…You cannot defeat the Empire just by signing a contract with your master.”

Besides, the contract with the demons was not an easy choice.

You will have to suffer for a long time as a toy of the demons until you die.

“of course. No matter how great my master is, there is a limit to giving power to bug-like humans.”

“…”

Despite hearing that it was an insect, Felix II did not deny it and kept his mouth shut.

“Still, I won’t be fooled. How is it. Serving my master.”

It was a whisper from the devil.

Felix II knew. Holding hands with demons is morally something that should never be done.

However, as long as they were driven to this situation, it was also the devil’s whisper that they had no choice but to overcome.

“…I will accept it.”

Gritting his teeth, Felix II spat out the words with difficulty.

In this way, variables began to arise one by one in a place unknown to the empire.
