Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer - Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 180

180 – Warlock (1)

The power of the Dragon Eye was definitely special.

It was clearly the student council room with nothing left…….

Nevertheless, we were able to find even a very small and faint trace.

“…… “Black mana.”

A jet-black energy that is trapped in a force field of lightning and is struggling to escape somehow.

It was definitely the scars of a warlock.

I showed it to Eve, and she, who had once confronted Duke Blake with me, quickly saw through its identity.

With such a stiff complexion, what is she thinking of?

The existence of a duke with whom I had a confrontation at some point. Or, the disappearance of Lucius, who probably has a deep connection to the existence of such a duke.

There was nothing to worry about deeply. Aren’t I thinking of those two thoughts at the same time right now?

Dismissal… ….

I crushed the black mana by compressing the thunderbolt all at once, and I clenched my teeth so that Eve could not hear.

Recalls memories. What happened in Hwangseong.

I was definitely on the verge of murdering Duke Blake.

Who was the abominable being who rescued him?

The man who appeared at the top of the stone pagoda, beyond the collapsed wall, was wearing a mask that prevented recognition of his own face.

I didn’t forget his existence either.

Definitely a demon. Yeokcheon contractor.

The Duke of Blake disappeared along with his existence.

The Duke of Blake has appeared again here, at the Academy, la…….

‘And after confronting Lucius, who has a 0% chance of being a demon, he disappeared together?’

I frowned slightly as I turned my head to try to understand the situation.

Of course, isn’t this too elaborate?

Deep down, I believed that Lucius was not a demon, and as much as I wanted to believe him, I couldn’t help but feel a little confused.

There are traces of a magical battle, but even that was part of a deception.

What if, by chance, Lucius is indeed the demon at that time, and this situation is a self-made play created under instructions from Duke Blake?

I really didn’t want to think about it, but then there was only one possibility.

That too is a very terrible possibility.

I pressed the corners of my eyes with a very distorted expression.

‘Summon the devil.’

The contractor in Yeokcheon always had only one thing to do.

Because the imperial demons always looked forward to the coming of the Three Kings.

It’s probably no different now. This guy was trying to summon the devil of heaven to this continent.

If it were normal times, I might have thought to myself, ‘Maybe that’s true?’ But-.

‘Probably certain.’

It wasn’t like that now. Isn’t this a situation where the devil of the reverse sky has collapsed the other three kings’ and Yurin’s kingdom itself?

And the demon of Yurin, who entrusted himself to the academy, warned us.

Now that he has gotten rid of the person who bothered him the most, the devil in reverse will have nothing to worry about.

The Dragon Emperor who has lost contact cannot be traced, and the Demon of Struggle does not care about the situation.

Since the entity that can stop it has disappeared, it would be a very natural and natural step to invade the long-awaited continent.

I also had no choice but to agree with the words of the devil of such devastation.

Even if the ‘game’ I enjoyed was exposed to the hand of the Dragon Emperor, there was no lie in the knowledge itself. At least that’s how it has been so far.

The information on the Demon of Reverse Heaven was different in many ways from that of the Dragon Emperor, the same final boss position.

The ‘Dragon Emperor’, which probably reflected the will of Carsilion’s child, made it impossible for the player to know its purpose and action principles.

So, it would have to be said that the devil in the sky was rather easy to understand.

At least according to what it looks like, it is a being that only aims for the destruction of the world.

That demon king had no intention of ruling the continent.

If I were to be specific, it felt like a living disaster with an ego and soul, swallowed up by a pure and primal desire for destruction.

‘But the act of destruction itself wasn’t filled with emotion.’

It would be an easier analogy to say that it is a grinder that is somehow mechanical and moves as if it is doing its job on its own.

Actually, in this reality, it was not a matter that I could quickly conclude as to what the devil of the reverse sky had.

Isn’t that something you don’t know? The existence of the ‘devil of the reverse sky’ was difficult for even Carsilion to understand, so the character composition was roughly done… ….

Even if he wonders if the time-manipulator is that incompetent, he is a little unconvinced.

What the ‘Dragon Emperor’ did was to stab the devil in the back and stab the Academy in the back. It’s not a joke, really.

There were even jokes in the community saying that this was not the final boss but just a joke.

I thought for a moment about Carsilion, whom I encountered in a cave halfway up the eastern mountain range.

Various hair colors, dragon-specific slitted eyes, and maddening expressions and eyes.

‘Personality aside, I couldn’t ignore that intimidating feeling…….’

I’m not sure either. There was no basis for confidence.

Besides, it doesn’t change the fact that they are ultimately transcendents.

Carsilion is something we can’t do anything about right now, and besides, I haven’t yet been able to put an end to her suffering related to him.

Anyway, the problem we had to think about now was the devil in reverse.

I got out of my thoughts and looked at the current situation once again.

Lucius disappeared.

At least within this academy, his presence could no longer be confirmed.

So is he a demon? Was the contractor in the reverse sky none other than Lucius?

I went to the student council room to ask that in the first place. At least not yet, I didn’t want to admit that Lucius was like that.

‘Well, there’s no need to hesitate any longer.’

And that mindset was enough. I made the decision without difficulty.

First, we move to find Lucius.

The ultimate goal may be rescue or exclusion.

But there is no doubt that his search must come first.

It wasn’t just because I felt human favor toward him.

Not because he was my brother or Eve’s brother.

Before that reason, there is a greater than 90% chance that the person who disappeared along with Lucius was Duke Blake.

That was one of the most important reasons.

I remembered the last moment at the stone pagoda, when I plunged the dragon kite into that guy’s chest.

Abominably, with the help of the demon, he continued his strong legacy…….

I have always thought that someday the time would come for us to meet again. Absolutely.

So there was no need to be confused.

My heart is ready.

The first step to murder.

‘Kill.’

It’s probably not something that needs to be experienced multiple times.

How pleasant can it be to kill people?

Even if you can get used to it, I don’t think there’s any need to get your hands dirty with blood.

This was my thought as a modern person, not Dante’s.

If you asked me why I was pretending to be a modern person when I couldn’t even call it a belief and had even lost my own name, I would have nothing to refute.

I just try to avoid murder as much as possible. No matter when that happened.

Is this a new idea of respect for life?

I didn’t know, but it seems like I also had something worthy of being called that.

So, there was only one thing that mattered now.

‘You are the only exception, Duke Blake.’

At least I, who was so withdrawn, would not hesitate to murder Duke Blake.

As long as that one fact was not shaken, other things did not matter.

I can feel the sharply forged murderous intent that even surprises me. I didn’t necessarily suppress it.

I just bury it in my heart for a moment and then raise my body.

“I will chase after the duke.”

Then he lets out a low voice.

The person I was talking to was Eve.

As she was contemplating something, she immediately raised her head, and I glanced out the window at her and continued speaking.

“As I said a moment ago, there is a high possibility that the duke is returning to Mine. And that is probably a system with a high probability.”

“… ….”

“Would you like to go with me? Sister.”

I don’t have much tracking ability. I could only infer the duke’s destination.

On the other hand, Eve is a distant descendant of a vampire with bloody eyes, including the power of blood.

If we start tracking, it will be a great help in chasing down the Duke and Lucius, who probably haven’t arrived at the Islands yet due to time constraints.

That’s why I was thinking that it would be nice if Eve were with me.

I won’t force it, but I don’t know. To be honest, I already knew her answer.

Eve stood up after me and bit my finger.

The sharp fangs dug into her white skin, creating a shallow wound.

Mysteriously, the dripping blood immediately floated into the air on its own -.

“You are asking the obvious, junior.”

Soon, in response to her Eve’s power, her tiny droplets of blood began to fly out of her window.

“There’s no way I wouldn’t join you in saving my brother.”

Eve took out a string from the inside pocket of her school uniform and tied up her long, waist-length hair into a ponytail, smiling wildly.

Such a smile meant that the vampire’s instincts were starting to activate slightly.

The anger towards Duke Blake is so great that it overshadows even the worries towards Lucius.

She had already been involved with him once in a bad situation.

Therefore, it was a perfectly reasonable and reasonable hostility.

Eve put her legs up on the window sill faster than I could.

The student council room here was on the third floor of the academy’s main building, so to speak, but it was quite high…

In any case, considering Eve’s physical abilities, it was not a factor that would be a problem.

In addition, Eve right now doesn’t care that she’s wearing a short skirt and just glances at me, so it’s not like I can stop her.

I lowered my gaze for a moment as her eyes seemed to ask, ‘Aren’t you going?’

‘Red.’

I won’t bother mentioning what made me take a quick peek and then quickly put my head back to its original position.

I just think of random thoughts by myself.

You were bolder than I thought, my sister.

“…… “Junior?”

“Oh, I have to go.”

I nodded my head casually at Eve’s urging.

And as he followed her to her window, Eve threw herself first outside of her.

The red blood drops are already flying far away.

Perhaps he is chasing the scent of Lucius’ blood that Eve remembers.

Intense battles are always accompanied by blood and wounds. That was the unquestionable truth.

No matter how the opponent is Duke Blake, Lucius’ level is also Circle 8.

Although Majin’s identity was not yet clear, I decided to act first, thinking of Lucius as a pure brother to me and Eve.

Lucius is probably not a demon.

Then this is an attack and kidnapping aimed at Lucius.

…… I wouldn’t have gotten far.

At most, you can still chase them if they are a little further out of Academy City.

It is not too late to pursue this.

I quickly left the campus and chased after Eve as she ran through the roofs of the buildings in Academy City to collect her thoughts.

The devil of the heavens will soon target the continent. And for that, we will receive help from Mine.

First of all, if we record it as an absolute proposition and move, it was the demon who had to stop it.

In the end, unless there are collaborators from the continent, the Three Kings will not be able to descend here.

‘If you think about it in that respect, the appearance of Duke Blake does not necessarily have to be seen as a red signal.’

First, check Lucius’s safety and determine whether he is a demon or not.

And kill Duke Blake as much as possible, and find the real Mine.

I thought that was all I had to think about for now.

*****

Under the night sky with a full moon floating around.

Eve thought as she ran through the city.

‘Duke Blake… ….’

The man that came to mind was a man I had seen several times in my childhood.

Taylor Blake. One of the very few high-ranking nobles who support the empire.

In fact, Eve’s impression of him was not that bad.

He knew how to be polite, and his attitude towards Eve was ordinary.

Her prince and princess were favored by her emperor, and among them, she was known for her beauty. One of the few nobles who neither praised nor antagonized her.

That was all, but when did things start to change?

I heard the news one day.

News about Taylor Blake’s exile.

It is said that because it was a very sudden seclusion, there was a moment of confusion in the empire’s aristocratic world.

Probably that was a few years ago, not that long ago.

‘I didn’t pay much attention back then, but… ….’

A few years later, I heard a story from his cousin, who did not know of his existence.

An act that goes against the laws of heaven. Anti-soul arts.

One of the biggest taboos that humans can commit.

The Duke Blake whom Eve had encountered in the imperial castle a few months ago was no longer the Taylor Blake that Eve knew.

His father, the former Duke Blake, simply took his body and began using it.

The relationship and connection with Taylor Blake was not that deep.

But Eve felt human sympathy toward such an old relationship.

How can a life be so pitiful?

And how could one commit such a terrible taboo against one’s own child?

The Duke of Blake no longer had what could be called human emotions.

Of course, that news alone was enough to make Eve hate Duke Blake, but to her dismay, that was not all.

The sins committed by Duke Blake. That contemptible past that crossed the line that must be maintained as a human being.

Dante, his party, did not try to tell Eve the story himself.

This is because he thought it was an old story that was not worth knowing.

However, Eve was not a fool either.

How could you not know?

There is a story I heard from the emperor. I also heard and witnessed the sharp conversation between Dante and Duke Blake from beginning to end.

In the not-too-distant past, what on earth did Duke Blake do to her younger brother in a bizarre facility called Paradise?

From noble mtl dot com

At one point, Eve went to the extent of yelling at the emperor to confirm the secret documents of the ‘Paradise Project’ that he had tried to hide -.

I couldn’t even finish reading one page and ended up nauseous.

In fact, even if it had not been for this incident, Eve would not have been able to forgive Duke Blake.

There were already countless things he had done, and all of them were unforgivable.

That guy kidnapped Lucius this time.

I couldn’t even figure out the purpose.

Kkdeuk-

Eve gritted her teeth and her eyes flashed. It wasn’t just her expression, but her blood-eye itself began to glow even more intensely.

Resonating with her power, the movement speed of the blood drops became even faster.

Although her tracking ability using the power of blood was not omnipotent, Lucius was her brother.

If you want to chase it, you can find it even in the farthest place in the world.

In addition, according to what I checked a little while ago, not all blood traces were erased.

The warlock was skilled, but he was unable to erase the traces as if he was pressed for time.

‘…… Slowly, I started to see it.’

There are traces. The path is visible.

You can chase it. You can catch it.

The vague possibility soon grew in size and instilled confidence in Eve.

This is the moment when the bloody expression on Eve’s face becomes even more intense.

To repeat, she could not forgive Duke Blake in any way at this point.

This is the man who made Dante’s childhood hell. Additionally, she was the man who hurt Lucius.

A million deaths are not enough to forgive that sin.

He needed the most terrible time of repentance.

Eve recalled Dante’s childhood, which she learned about through secret imperial documents, and she looked back at him with a feeling of regret that had not come in a long time.

She has flowing silver hair that looks very similar to her, and there is also a boy following behind her.

That was a seemingly serious expression.

What are you thinking? What emotions are you feeling?

Eve couldn’t bear to guess that, and she didn’t think she deserved it.

She just wiped her eyes with tears and continued to move her body.

Thinking in addition.

‘…… It’s okay now, junior.’

She won’t leave Dante alone anymore.

The debt of my heart for not being able to be with her during her childhood.

For that, Eve will always be by Dante’s side.

Sometimes as an older sister, sometimes as a girl. Or, sometimes as a woman.

Although she had quite a few private feelings, Eve intended to respect Dante’s will.

If he wishes, he will just remain as his older sister, and he will carry this feeling alone forever.

There is only one thing to remember.

I will always do my best to comfort the wounds that will remain deep inside him.

Thinking like that, Eve moved faster, fearing that he might hear her sniffling.

She climbs the walls of Academy City, jumps over them, and floats in the air.

‘Hmm.’

And, Dante was staring at her with the same serious expression as before.

What came to mind when Eve saw her own expression?

That fact was not something Dante could have known right away.

Dante just climbed over the castle wall and looked at Eve, whose body was floating.

Even if you are a vampire, you cannot avoid the effects of gravity. Her skirt fluttered in the wind and-.

Accordingly, Dante’s expression also naturally took on a more serious tone.

Gulp-

Dante instinctively swallowed her dry saliva.

‘Color is no longer the problem.’

And then I fell into deep thoughts.

‘How can the area be that big?’ … ? What on earth does this imply…….’

It was a stray thought that should never have been revealed to Eve.
