The Demon Prince goes to the Academy Chapter 555

Chapter 555

Kono Lint was able to move all three of us at once.

“Okay, we can move together at once.”

It was a short distance, but Kono Lint and I were holding hands and when he activated his ability, everyone was able to move at once.

“How many will there be?”

Harriet asked because it was the first time that she had moved through non-magical psychic space.

“Weight is important, not numbers. I don’t know exactly, except for my weight, maybe a little more than 200kg? And it shouldn’t be too bulky either. No matter how light it is, you can’t just move something incredibly huge.”

He added that it is a matter determined by mass and volume rather than numbers.

If the combined weight of the three of us exceeds 200 kg, it seems impossible to move it.

“Somehow, I feel fortunate… … .”

Harriet gave a subtle smile. Come to think of it, Harriet tends to use her brain a lot, not her physical activity.

Olivia looked at Harriet, who sighed in relief, and spoke triumphantly with her chest wide open.

“You’re still young right now, but when you get older, your whole body will go limp due to lack of exercise. Be prepared.”

Of course, being very active and actually a specialist in close combat, Olivia, now more of a necromancer, is far from lacking in exercise.

So also… … .

He is a wonderful person in many ways… … .

“what. On the subject of old muscle pigs.”

“What?! Not old, not even a pig! Where is this bouncy body of a pig? Something the size of a rat!”

“I will never grow old. No matter what happens, you will always be five years older than me. No, are you still a little behind?”

“I’m not down! Didn’t fall! My body age is younger! You have a hunched back and a tortoise neck from always digging for books in the corner of the room!”

“what? no it’s not? You didn’t bend your neck?!”

As Olivia and Harriot bicker, Kono Lint looks at me.

“Those two… … . Where are you from?”

“… … Even in a place like this.”

“ah.”

I haven’t infiltrated the imperial palace yet, but since it’s an alley with no people, it doesn’t matter if the two of us roast and fry.

Fighting whenever we met was no different here.

I’m embarrassed.

I can’t manage the house like this.

No, since it’s a family, it’s a little c*cky, but it’s not like that. That, country management, something like that… … . uh… … .

“It is still far from night. Let them fight.”

“Is that so… … .”

– It’s baked! This tortoise kid! You must have bent your spine too!

-What is this old muscle pig!

– I’m not old! I’m not old! It’s still prime time! Not even a pig!

-You said that 3 years ago, so you’re old now!

– Ah! I’m really going to kill you!

If you don’t do that, you lose.

* * *

Since Kono Lint said he fully cooperated, it was as if there was a high pass to enter the mausoleum as well as the infiltration stage.

He possesses more cheat-like abilities than Sarkegar when it comes to infiltration.

If Kono Lint’s combat power wasn’t as good as Cliffman’s, and if it was Erhi’s, history would change.

The fact that Kono Lint has no fighting talent and poor skills is like a balance patch.

Of course, that’s what I did too. If Kono Lint had the level of fighting power I had, even if this guy ran wild to become the emperor, no one could stop him.

In a way, because he had a very strong ability, I forcibly gave him a lot of disadvantages.

With the help of Kono Lint, we crossed the wall of the imperial castle.

The location is right inside the outer wall of the imperial castle, in the shade of darkness, so no one can see it.

There may be guards on the walls, but there were no people on the ground.

“It’s so easy that it’s almost disheartening.”

While interpreting and analyzing the barrier of the imperial castle, Harriet does not know how long it will take to think about how to overcome the barrier, or whether it will be possible.

However, it seemed that he felt a sense of collapse when he became one with his superpowers at once.

“good. The next location is over there.”

“okay.”

A blind spot of vision, a space where intruders will not be noticed.

It’s not impossible to see through, but the four of us carefully clung to Kono Lint and moved little by little as a group, even though we were wrapped around magic for camouflage and concealment.

Tetra in the center.

To the north is the Palace of Spring where Charlotte lived.

To the west is the Winter Palace where Bertus lived.

There is nothing to do in the two palaces, Winter and Spring, which should be empty now.

To the south are government agencies, including the Autumn Palace.

To the west is the Summer Palace and other areas where the imperial family resides.

Our goal is the imperial residence area to the west, and the temple with the imperial mausoleum a little further inside.

It would be okay to move as quickly as possible by continuous teleportation, and since the imperial palace is wide in the first place, there are many people.

It was okay to pretend to be a member of the imperial palace and act casually, but there was no need to be bold.

– Phat!

With the power of Kono Lint, we moved little by little, slowly and carefully, sometimes taking advantage of blind spots such as the roof of a building.

Having personally experienced it, Kono Lint’s ability was enough to be called fraudulent.

If I hadn’t done the balance patch, the gate situation might have ended with Kono Lint’s own power.

Soon we arrived at a crevice in the flower bed in the garden where the imperial mausoleum was dimly visible.

It was a huge temple, and as Harriet said, there were two guards guarding the gate.

To enter the main gate, you had to secure the opening magic, and you had to hypnotize or subdue the guards.

If not, I had to disable the alarm magic of the building itself, block the noise with noise canceling, and penetrate the building from a blind spot.

But as long as Kono Lint exists, all such plans are unnecessary.

“Go right inside.”

“uh.”

– Phat!

We moved straight inside the temple where the imperial mausoleum is located.

* * *

Of course, no one was inside the temple where the imperial mausoleum was located.

But inside, the light was on.

Just in case, all four of us lowered our posture and looked around. Because there is a vertically long window, anyone can look inside the temple where the mausoleum is located.

In front of the huge chapel of the temple, huge stone statues of the five main gods were erected, and in the middle, there was a wide, huge straight staircase leading down to the basement.

I didn’t expect an overly splendid atmosphere, but it was a chapel that had a solemn feeling with a gray texture as a whole.

If the temple of the imperial mausoleum is this level, it is almost a rough level.

However, rather than the splendid tomb, this monotonous feeling gave off a solemn feeling.

Looking at it this way, the solemn atmosphere of the central palace tetra was also the same, and the empire did not pursue splendor per se.

In terms of splendor, the temple is more. Of course, after all, the temple is also an academy owned by the Empire.

“Let’s go down.”

With our posture lowered so that no one could see us through the window, we entered the stairs.

Now we don’t have to worry about anyone seeing us outside.

There is no one inside the mausoleum because no one is allowed to enter it unless there is a special occasion.

However, we had no choice but to hold our breath as we descended into the overly tranquil basement of the imperial temple.

It was definitely because of what we were going to do from now on, rather than worrying about the possibility that someone might exist.

It was the same that the lights were on in the basement.

After going down the long circular staircase, we entered an underground space with a high ceiling.

Like the above ground, it was an overall gray catacombs.

A place where you can feel solemnity and loftiness rather than splendor.

catacomb.

It wasn’t the gloomy and eerie space commonly called the Catacomb.

As soon as we descended, the tomb was nowhere to be seen.

As soon as we arrived at the space like a huge cavity, what we faced was a four-pronged corridor extending in all directions centered on the cavity.

There were stone carvings with different patterns at the entrance to each hallway.

“… … anyway those. It’s not a gargoyle, right?”

What I was pointing at were the statues in the shape of guardsmen in the basement of the catacombs.

“I don’t feel any magical energy. And if the gargoyles had been detected in the first place, I would have spoken first.”

“okay? Wouldn’t it be possible to make something like a tomb guardian?”

At Olivia’s question, Harriet sighed briefly.

“In the first place, the presence of intruders in the imperial tomb means that the imperial castle itself was breached, so there was no need to build it? Of course, this is how we came in.”

“Hmm, if you ask me, it is.”

“And you wouldn’t expect that someone who had a bad mind and succeeded in infiltrating the imperial palace would enter the mausoleum. He went elsewhere.”

“That too is true. But we ended up in a place no one expected to enter, right?”

“That’s it.”

A place where the cost is relatively low.

It would be impossible to predict the crazy things we do.

If the purpose was money, he would rob the imperial safe or treasure house, if the purpose was assassination, there would be no need to come here, and if the purpose was information, there would be no need to come here, where only the silence of the dead existed.

To put it bluntly, this place was of no value to anyone other than the imperial family in the imperial palace.

That’s why we’re the easiest to rob, but we’re bizarre thieves who came to a place where dust wouldn’t come out even if we robbed them.

Of course, we are here to rob the ashes of those who have little value but are indispensable in the history of mankind.

It has no value, but it is a place of great symbolism.

At the four crossroads of the imperial mausoleum, Harriet examines the directions and symbols.

“The north is the grave of the imperial family, the west is the grave of those who have made great academic achievements, the east is the grave of artists, and the south is the grave of those who have made great achievements.”

What we need is not brainy, inspiring, or noble origins.

We need the remains of warriors who have achieved feats comparable to those of war heroes.

Kono Lint was holding onto my arm, perhaps feeling nervous.

What’s wrong with this kid?

“What shall we do?”

“… … Mmm, what are you afraid of?”

Olivia is scary, and even though Harriet is a bit different, are you holding on to me at least because you saw that Olivia and Harriet are still harsh?

But if you ask me, shouldn’t you be afraid of me the most?

ah. right.

I still have depression… … .

Even if people seem to change, they don’t.

however.

To put it bluntly, shouldn’t you be afraid of me the most here… … .

what.

done.

F*ck.

“Why is this scary? We’re here to do something even scarier.”

“Yeah, but… … !”

Even though no one was listening, Kono Lint held his breath and shouted.

But lowering your voice was a story for all of us.

Even walking and talking for no reason lowers your breath.

Maybe it’s because it’s a grave rather than thinking that it shouldn’t be found out.

It was kind of ridiculous for those who came to wake someone from sleep to subconsciously lower their voices so as not to disturb the silence of the tomb.

“let’s go.”

Harriet led the way, and we followed.

Since this is the imperial mausoleum, it was naturally not a structure that was indiscriminately expanded and entangled like a maze.

After walking some distance through the hallway, the space expands again and we enter the mausoleum of the heroes.

An open space appeared, followed by an elongated space in a straight line and again a staircase going down further.

“I heard that the first floor of the mausoleum starts here, and there are a total of five more floors underground. I heard that it was actually filled up to the 4th basement floor.”

The tombs of great heroes who will remain in human history.

It was pretty intuitive.

A sarcophagus buried in the ground, with only the lid visible, and a tombstone symbolizing the holy name in front of it. And on the tombstone, there was a stone tablet with a brief summary and a one-word phrase summarizing his achievements during his lifetime.

And behind that tombstone.

“To the stone statue… … . Yes… … .”

Stone statues of heroes, which seemed to have been sculpted after the hero in his lifetime, were erected behind each tomb.

Sometimes it looked solemn, sometimes it looked solemn, sometimes it was a dynamic figure holding a weapon and wielding it.

The reason why the statues were different was probably because they were made at different times.

[Langkruten, the Lord of Frost, sleeps here.]

I’m not interested in imperial history, but of course there was history in the Temple integration course.

Therefore, between these tombs, I could see the names of the heroes I knew in the history of the empire. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s not that detailed.

“All the prominent nobles are gathered.”

Olivia smiled at the names of the buried heroes, as well as the words written on the stone statues and tombstones, as if they were names she knew almost everyone.

The number of tombs on one floor is about forty.

There are up to 5 floors underground, but it is said that it is actually filled up to the 4th floor, so there will be more than a hundred tombs in total.

Is this number too small or too many?

It is unknown.

“maybe… … . The hero’s party and the war heroes after the Gate Crisis should be on the 4th basement level. I heard that.”

“Not everything will happen. The bones that are too old are very likely not to rise.”

“You mean we have to go underground?”

“yes.”

It is unknown whether this type of burial results in rotting or non-rotting remains, but older remains are likely meaningless.

A body that has just died.

How many Death Knights can we bring back from these tombs?

If it is revived, and the stronger the Death Knight becomes, how strong the Death Knight is?

We went down the stairs to the basement, to the basement.

After passing the statues and tombstones of heroes, we were able to reach the 4th basement level.

As soon as we arrived, we could confirm that the structure of the tomb was different from before.

“As expected, those five are treated differently?”

Those were Olivia’s words.

“I see.”

Harriet also nodded.

Until now, the tombstones and statues were on either side of the wall as you descend the stairs.

However, as soon as we came down the stairs, we could see five stone statues and tombs in front of us.

and its center.

There was a stone statue holding Alsbringer high into the sky.

Similar but different faces.

[The savior of mankind, the seeker of justice, and the champion of Ars]

[The only and eternal warrior]

[Lagan Artorius]

[May he rest]

In the center was a stone statue of Lagan Artorius, and on either side of it were two statues of the warriors who were with him.

Mage, Mullern.

Priest, Seizaria.

Ranger, Ragdna Olfie.

Magic Swordsman, Shaydin.

Even in the history of mankind, those five who made the greatest achievement of killing the demon king were given the most special place in this imperial mausoleum, the Hall of Heroes.

There was a tomb of a party of warriors at the far end of the front, but there were still tombs on both sides.

“Looking at it yearly… … . There are two graves added since the Gate incident.”

Harriet looked around the hallway to confirm. I saw the names too, but they weren’t names I knew.

I don’t know, but from the point of view of the Empire, they must have been those who died after establishing a major that deserved to enter this place.

“Lagan Artorius and the warriors… … . It means to revive it as a death knight… … ?”

As if asking if it would be okay, Kono Lint looked at me with a pale complexion. Aside from everything else, Lagann Artorius is Ellen’s older brother, so shouldn’t that be?

It’s a gaze that says you’re not like that.

But if you ask me, isn’t it right? Because I am the devil’s son

“I know what you’re thinking, but there are no remains of Lagann Artorius.”

“why?”

“There wasn’t even a body left, in the first place.”

I can’t help but say that because I don’t know that the demon king and the body of Lagann Artorius also died and disappeared.

what if there was

If the ashes of Lagann Artorius were here, would I be in favor or against turning them into Death Knights?

Olivia seems to have agreed, and Harriet must have objected.

I am.

I honestly don’t know.

I don’t think Lagann Artorius wouldn’t have been made like that, just like he decided not to revive Loyar and Epinhauser.

However, if there were ashes, playing Lagann Artorius’ Death Knight from the position of his father’s murder wouldn’t have been a very vicious and exhilarating revenge in a way.

I have no intention of doing so.

“I don’t have time to talk about Katabuta. I’m going to proceed with the ritual. I don’t know how many will happen, though.”

-Slowly

The demon sword Tiamata was summoned in Olivia’s right hand.

No time for sentimentality, no need to worry about the non-existent ashes of Lagann Artorius.

Brings back the greatest heroes in human history.

It may be only a shell, but it is clear that powerful power resides in that shell as well.

Kono Lint widened his eyes at Tiamata, who was infested with the dark energy of corruption.

“ruler… … . shall we start.”

Olivia looks up with an evil smile.

In the hands of the villains of the century, the blasphemy of the heroes of the century begins.

* * *

time is night.

However, since no one enters the tomb and it is deep underground, there is no way that our consciousness will be noticed from the outside.

Someone from the outside could sense this aura, but Harriet was supposed to be taking care of that part. Seeing that he said not to worry, Harriet seemed to have her own countermeasures.

Olivia was muttering something in the center of the tomb on the 4th basement level, with the demonic sword Tiamata inserted into the floor.

And the black aura that shimmered in Tiamata simmered and permeated each tomb.

Even just looking at it, I could feel the ominous energy being injected into it.

Me, Harriet, and Kono Lint watched the ceremony silently, sitting at the end of the stairs leading to the third floor.

“By the way, I know that my sister is a priest of Tuan… … . What happened? What is that black… … .”

Come to think of it, Kono Lint followed me without knowing why, but I have no idea how Olivia Ranze handles such an evil power.

“It’s Tiamata.”

“Tiamata? Isn’t Tiamata a sacred object? Oops… … . It’s not ominous.”

“I’ll explain briefly, the main god and the demon god are actually the same existence.”

“… … What are you talking about?”

“So that’s Tiamata.”

“Oh no! Please explain properly! What are you talking about!”

“… … I’ll tell you.”

Perhaps feeling that I was explaining too roughly, Harriet grabbed Kono Lint and explained it in detail.

A misunderstanding of the faith between God and God. And about the phenomenon of changing the nature of the sacred object.

The ceremony went on for a long time, so Harriet had enough time to explain it to Cono Lint.

Of course, even if he explained it calmly, it was difficult to understand or accept it.

“Nonsense… … .”

“Until now, people’s ideas were all wrong.”

“This is strange. There’s no such thing as a drinker, so… … . It doesn’t make sense to have demonic powers… … . That… … . Such power… … . What is divine power? It’s not like black magic… … ?”

“Think easily, Lindt, the gods are just different beings than we think. In the first place, the gods may not even be the beings named as the five main gods. It is, after all, just a name given by mortals.”

“No words… … . no… … .”

Kono Lint doesn’t have a particularly strong belief in the gods.

However, no one denies the attributes of gods as beings.

There were the Five Great Gods, and a demonic religion was born.

In fact, it is not even that, and even the faith of the Five Great Gods is just a name given to some absolute authority, and even the name of the Five Great Gods may be wrong.

In fact, I learned from Lizaira that the origins of vampires are the gods.

The gods are unknowable, and neither am I.

Even I don’t know if there is such a thing as will, and if so, when and how it will be manifested.

So it’s probably pointless to talk about the gods.

However, there is such a thing as power and it is only manifested.

-uuuuu

Kono Lint was staring blankly at Tiamata, who was pouring out an ominous darkness.

There is no need to say that it makes no sense or that such things are impossible.

It’s actually happening, so it’s possible.

Because all you see is

“Nonsense… … .”

pure divine power.

That power manifests itself in the opposite power.

Olivia seemed to be concentrating, muttering something but not moving.

For a very long time.

About two hours had passed since Olivia started the ceremony.

“Eww… … . town… … .”

Kono Lint was about to yawn, but thought it was not a good situation to yawn, so he kept his mouth shut.

No, he can yawn. I guess I’ll come too.

“… … Does it really take this long?”

The guy tilts his head.

“Well, that’s what consciousness is like.”

I’ve never made a Death Knight myself, and I’ve never seen Olivia make one.

However, Olivia stayed up all night while purifying the corrupted Tiamata.

“Hmm… … . If it takes this long, it doesn’t matter here, but it might be a little difficult at the National Cemetery… … .”

Those were Harriet’s words.

“… … It is.”

I didn’t think it would be easy, but if it’s taking too long, I might have to revise my plan drastically.

It’s crazy that people can’t see this place. In the National Cemetery, who knows when and where we will see what we do.

Even if it is at night, if someone notices you, it will be quite troublesome.

-no.

However, Olivia shook her head as if she had heard our conversation from afar.

-Originally, it doesn’t take this long.

-Pak!

Olivia narrowed her brows as she pulled out the Tiamata from the stone floor of the graveyard.

“Are you done now?”

Did you already become a Death Knight and nested in the demonic sword or reverse summoned it?

Olivia shook her head as we asked as we descended the stairs.

“It’s not over, it hasn’t even started.”

“… … what?”

“No response at all. No matter how much divine power you pour into it, it remains the same.”

Olivia gazes at the silent tombs.

“Has something been done? Whether it was purified with the divine power of purity or consecrated… … .”

Olivia sighed and crossed her arms.

“I don’t know for sure… … .”

“Isn’t it because too much time has passed since the death?”

Olivia shook her head at Harriet’s question.

“… … I’ve heard from demonists that Death Knights were made from ashes. Even if it’s all rotted away, with my holy power, I can scrape up the traces and forcefully raise it.”

Olivia’s power is mighty.

It’s strong enough to make it happen if it doesn’t work. But no.

Harriet also becomes puzzled.

“Are you prepared for this situation? She never heard of that from Charlotte.”

“therefore. No matter how much he doesn’t like the two of us, he won’t let Reinhardt go in vain.”

Since Charlotte is from the royal family, she must have known some of the royal family’s funeral laws.

If I had prepared for the undead, I would have made it clear.

“Is it because it was so basic that I didn’t bother to say it? It could be. Or maybe I trusted my abilities too much. Hmm… … . But to be honest, I have the confidence to even raise the cremated bone powder… … . After all, this is an empire. I wonder if there is a special method that I don’t know about… … .”

ultimately fail

The corpses in the Hall of Heroes could not be resurrected.

“It can be because these are special people. This isn’t the end anyway, can we go somewhere else?”

Harriet comforted Olivia, who was rarely sullen.

Harriet is right. After all, this isn’t the only candidate. The National Cemetery has a huge number of graves.

It’s a pity that we couldn’t revive the heroes of the mausoleum, but there’s nothing more to stick around here.

“Everything else… … . Are you going?”

Kono Lint was stunned to hear that the next thing was being prepared for our vicious acts.

“Yeah, you don’t have to follow me this time. It would be nice if we could help.”

“Oh, no… … . what… … . what to do… … .”

This time, you don’t even need Kono Lint. Of course, there is no one more helpful than Kono Lint when it comes to running away in case of emergency. There was no imperial palace or temple, so Harriet could do it.

Kono Lint seemed to be contemplating whether or not to do these things together again.

We tried something but failed, so even though we ended up in an attempt, we didn’t rob the royal tomb.

If we don’t have to do bad things together, don’t we have to do it together?

I don’t think it’s bad to fall here, so I’m about to say that.

“No matter how you think about it, it’s strange.”

said Olivia.

“What?”

At my words, Olivia bit her lip.

“It’s strange.”

Is it hard to accept that you failed? Certainly, there is no one with divine power comparable to Olivia.

However, since the empire has taken some special measures, it can’t be helped if a countermeasure is prepared.

“It’s strange, this.”

Olivia suddenly walks somewhere.

towards the grave.

“What, what are you doing?”

Harriet’s complexion turned blue when she saw Olivia standing in front of the grave.

Olivia crouched down in front of the sarcophagus, grasping the lid with both hands.

Tendons form on Olivia’s forehead.

“Eee!”

-Geuggeuggeuk!

The lid of the huge sarcophagus, which ordinary people cannot even move, begins to open with the sound of a stone scratching.

no, what are you doing?

“Oops! car!”

-That’s right! Goong!

The sound of a stone scraping echoed, and Olivia performed the eccentricity of forcibly opening the closed sarcophagus.

“okay… … . I knew it would be like this.”

Olivia looked down at the sarcophagus, and a chilly smile curled at the corners of her mouth.

Olivia, who had suddenly opened the lid of the coffin, turned to us.

“It is empty.”

“… … what?”

“?”

“yes?”

“There is nothing.”

As I approached Olivia, wondering what she was talking about, I couldn’t help but be dazed.

The inside of the sarcophagus was empty.

there’s nothing.

Both Kono Lint and Harriet approached in a daze and lost their minds when they saw that the coffin was empty.

Is it like Lagann Artorius?

[Ludena Yen]

[The supreme hero who defended tens of thousands of people against the darkness of the Dark Land alone, sleeps here.]

I don’t know who.

But if there’s an expression for sleeping here, it’s that the ashes should be here.

Even as the three of us were stunned, Olivia started to open the other coffin lid as well.

-Geug geug geug!

-thud!

“Here too.”

-thud!

“Here too.”

-thud!

“hmm.”

-thud!

Olivia’s expression hardened as she opened five other sarcophagi in an instant.

“All empty.”

Olivia didn’t fail.

In the first place, there was not a single skeletal remains.
