I Became the Demon Grand Duke in the Academy - I Became the Demon Grand Duke in the Academy chapter 135

135 – Delinia – Halloween 3

In the past, there was a time when I really enjoyed playing a game called Block Juggling.

A very simple game in which you block incoming enemy units with maximum control with a limited number of units.

It seems that the present situation is like seeing the situation at that time, so it is possible to make quicker judgments.

“Rosé, step back and smoke one.”

“yes!”

I fill up even the vacancy of Rosé and block the influx of guys. Rosé is recovering her mana while staring at the situation from behind. Her face was already stained with the flesh and blood of the undead. Rosé, who raised her magic power and washed the water lightly with her magic, joins me again.

“Can I join you already?”

“yes! I don’t have any problem!”

Rosé settles down again next to me while scrutinizing under her nose. Judging from her expression and the magic she felt around her, she nodded, judging that there would be no problem.

“Tequila! Is your magic okay!”

“The further you go in, the harder it is to keep soldiers. If we continue like this, we will not be able to maintain our defenses in 10 minutes.”

“How long can I last if I burn the leaves of the World Tree to maintain it?”

“This is the answer I was expecting. Little by little, the gap between the Skeleton Soldiers and the Undead seems to be unavoidable.”

In the end, it means that it is difficult to arrive at this way. It was a time when a win was needed.

“Tequila. So that all summons can be canceled and only Demonics can be maintained.”

“… … yes? You mean right now?”

If it was going to be difficult to maintain anyway, it would be much more useful to stock up on mana from now on and tequila to block it on its own.

As the scale decreased, the speed would increase and there would be fewer places to defend.

“Let’s count right now. You and Demonic can dispel the Skeleton Soldier’s summons and immediately follow Ella.”

At my instruction, Tequila, who usually doesn’t show her expression, makes a surprised expression.

“… … All right.”

“And, since we’re going to speed things up a bit, you better follow along. Ella. So that you can prioritize following up when the defenses disappear and identifying if there are any abnormalities around you.”

“Ah yes!”

“Okay, three, two, one. now.”

At the same time as my signal, all the skeleton soldiers surrounding us collapse and disappear.

At the same time, a horde of zombies, ghouls, and skeletons rushed toward us.

However, as we speeded up and moved forward, except for a few individuals, they could not keep up with our speed and often fell to the ground.

“Go straight like this.”

A bright red flame that rises from a single punch. Those who touch it scream and fall out or land far away on the ground.

I, who spew flames from my two arms, is truly an asura. It was an entity worthy of being called the Fire Asura Wheel.

So, shall we call this technology that? Fire Asura Pacheon──

“Fire Gregory Punch!”

“… … ?”

Looking around, I saw Rose, who had a fire enchantment on her fist saying she would follow me, throwing a sword with one hand and a punch with the other.

“Is this a new secret technique for our Gregory type…? … ! The undead are not using their strength and are falling out!”

Fire Gregory Punch!

Fire Gregory Punch!

Rosé is vigorously swinging her fist and destroying the zombies’ skulls. When I asked why it wasn’t hot, it seemed that he was blocking the heat by making a manamak on his fist.

No, more than that, there are far more killings with a sword than killing with a fist.

“… … I think you can use a knife, but do you really have to?”

“It’s cool!”

It does.

If it’s cool, what can you do?

“Fire Gregory Punch! Fire Gregory Punch!”

Hearing Rosé’s voice shouting repeatedly next to him, he extinguished the fire in his fist, as if a feeling of shame would rise from a corner of his heart.

“uh? Why did you turn off the light! we! What a perfect fire gregory punch duo!”

While still swinging her sword and fists, Rosé turned her gaze to me and frowned as if dissatisfied.

Even though I wanted to say that because I was embarrassed because of you, I decided to say it in a good way as the situation is the situation.

“You haven’t even gone half way yet. I just turned it off because I have to manage my magic power.”

“Can I borrow you a cigarette?”

“… … done.”

He hadn’t used his magic enough to borrow Rosé’s cigarettes yet, so there was no need to borrow them.

“Huh, if you’re not with Gregory-sama, it’s not Twin Fire Gregory Punch… … .”

When did you come up with that name again?

“… … sister. It’s embarrassing.”

“what?! Are you ashamed of Gregory’s secret technique, Fire Gregory Punch?! You are not qualified to be our Gregorian apprentice!”

“yes?! When did I become an apprentice? before that! Look ahead!”

“joy! If you’re a summoner like me, you’ll know that without even looking at it!”

Rosé continued to look back and thrust a knife forward. At the same time, one of the ghouls rushing towards Rosé is pierced between the eyebrows.

“Rosé, focus.”

“yes.”

Rosé, who lowered her voice a bit and warned, immediately turned her head and swung her sword while looking straight ahead.

As I was moving forward, by the time I heard the sound of heavy breathing next to me.

“Uh, the number of undead is decreasing?”

Ella’s surprised voice came from behind us, who was looking around through the spirits.

The undead are decreasing ahead? Certainly, as they advanced a little further, it was clearly felt that the number of undead flocking to their surroundings decreased.

Originally, two came every second, but now it’s about one every three seconds.

Compared to the beginning, the quality of the undead also increased, but it wasn’t hard to stop them.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t even halfway there yet?”

“Yes, in fact, I can say that I have just come half way…” … uh? Now, please stop for a second!”

Rosé and I, who were running in the lead at Ella’s desperate cry, slowly slowed down and came to a halt.

Even now, the number of undead that continued to attack us had decreased, so it was not that difficult to stop for a moment.

“What’s going on? Ella.”

“In front of me, there is something that is not undead.”

“what? What is not undead? Please explain in detail.”

“Wait.”

I close my eyes and start concentrating to communicate with the spirit that Ella sent me into the sky.

“I am wearing a blue robe. In his right arm, he holds a staff decorated with bones that appear to be animal skulls… … He is holding an old book in his left arm.”

… … wand and book?

“What other characteristics?”

“hmm… … . I have a gold badge on my chest, and there are three things that look like bird heads… … Kyaaak!”

At the same time as an explosion sound was heard in the air, Ella grabbed her eyes and stumbled.

“Ella!”

He quickly jumps at her and hugs Ella to keep her from collapsing to the floor.

“Ella, what is it?”

“… … spirit. I was reverse summoned.”

After listening to her words, I looked up at the sky, and there were traces of something exploding.

It seems that the spirit was shot down by something.

Perhaps the culprit… … It must be the guy Ella saw.

“It’s okay now. Thanks for catching me.”

Ella, who was held in my arms, slowly stood up, removing her hands from her eyes.

“Even though it was quite a distance, I shot down the wind spirit at once. I won’t be an ordinary person. Why are people on Halloween… … ?”

It is common knowledge in this world that no one jumps on Halloween. What kind of human would throw himself into a hurricane?

They say we came in after getting ready to visit Lily’s grave within the weekend, but who the hell… … … .

“Okay.”

I got a guess.

“yes?”

“You mean you know who attacked Ella?”

Rosé and Tequila look at me and ask at the same time.

The wand and book Ella saw. And the badge’s bird’s heads on his chest.

There are two main types of wands and books in the game.

A wizard who inherits the lineage of traditional wizards and a necromancer who handles necromancy.

And, they’re probably the only ones wearing a badge with a bird’s head on their chest.

“Ella. Birds drawn on his badge. Could it be that it was the head of a crow?”

“yes? Certainly, it resembled a crow.”

This turned expectations into certainties.

One of the villains in [Summoners Academia]. One of the worst groups following Naberius, a demon who helped in disasters with Amon in the past.

“Triple Crow. The guys are clear.”

“Triple Crow? I heard that they were exterminated by the Celestial Church after the disaster disappeared… … .”

Ella, who hears my story and says it as if it is nonsense.

“With the Holy Church resurrected and rampaging, it wouldn’t be strange if the Triple Crows were resurrected.”

No, rather, it would have been natural for them to return.

Because now it was a crisis of a new continent where a disaster appeared.

“He must have figured out our location already. Also, since Triple Crow appeared here, the purpose is clear.”

“The purpose is clear. What do you mean?”

Tequila, who had been wielding a scythe silently from behind, turned her head towards me and asked.

A group of necromancers even appeared at Lily’s grave. If so, isn’t the purpose obvious?

“Lily von Euglia. They intend to resurrect her with necromancy.”
