The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter - The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter chapter 342

342 – Subjugation of Evil Gods – End (1)

Merchen Academy’s 1st campus restoration work was in full swing.

Under the Emperor’s reign, a large number of manpower intensively helped with the work using magic.

Corrections quickly changed to the old look, no, to a cleaner look than before.

It wasn’t just Merhen Academy.

Since the apocalypse caused by the evil spirits happened anywhere in the world, all the sections that were swallowed up by the sphere of emptiness in other regions were undergoing restoration work.

After taking Hwirang’s cloak and the clothes Monon gave him at the hospital in Korea, Isaac returned by riding the gate made by Alice.

Everyone in the Evil God Subjugation Team welcomed Isaac, and Kaya, Luce, Dorothy, and White were all hugged by Isaac and cried in relief.

Those who played an active part in the subjugation of evil spirits were engraved one by one in the records that would later become world history, and were praised for their contributions.

In addition, Isaac’s performance was announced all over the world. All of his footsteps will be left as legends.

Emperor Carlos asked Isaac what he wanted—”For example, my child, my fifth daughter, or Snow White,” He gave examples, but Isaac did not ask for anything out of the ordinary.

And Emperor Carlos decided. To abdicate the position of emperor.

Isaac is the king of a country, and the apex of mankind who has been most active in subjugating the worst enemy that no one has been able to stop.

It was decided that Isaac was the one truly worthy of the title of emperor.

Some of the servants of Gerber’s royal family expressed their dissatisfaction at the fact that Isaac had given them a position that they hadn’t even asked for, but it was nothing more than dissatisfaction.

It is a matter unanimously agreed upon by even the original kings who had balanced the power until Isaac appeared. No one could object.

As a result, Dupendorf, which used to be an ice kingdom, became an empire and came to control its vassals.

Emperor of the Dupendorf Empire.

It was Isaac’s new title.

“All right.”

[Isaac!]

Secret Shop… Arrived at the location where it was.

It used to be a dense forest, but after 「Demon Subjugation」, It turned into a wilderness, and a poor structure with a gabled roof made of wooden planks stood openly.

It seems that the secret shop has not escaped the aftermath of the war.

Still, it was fortunate that Monon, the raccoon beast, was safe.

The appearance of selling and selling even a few products was the same guy as usual.

[What a monster! Did you win that? Awesome!]

Monon nodded in admiration.

I raised my glasses and responded with a smile.

“That’s okay, what time are you in business?”

[Since the monster is gone, I have to work hard again.]

“Hmm.”

I asked while examining the magic tools placed on the display stand.

“So, can you close the store for a minute and give me some time?”

[Huh? Why all of a sudden?]

“I have somewhere to go with you. I will just come and go.”

[…] OK, wait a minute.]

“Put on your clothes well.”

Monon wore a thick wizard robe as a coat.

After leaving the poor secret shop together, we walked on a deserted forest path for a while.

This distance should have been enough.

“Come out, Hild.”

Wow!

The sign of the contract engraved on the wrist glowed, and a white dragon was summoned releasing jade-colored magic.

Ice Snow Dragon – Hild. It was now a level 200 level wizard level familiar.

When this guy is summoned, the cold spreads, so I walked all the way here because there was a risk of damage to the secret shop.

Monon looked at Ice Snow Dragon and said [Oh! It’s amazing!] And exclaimed.

[What?]

I wrapped my arms around Monon’s waist, jumped up, and rode on the back of Snow Dragon.

[Create Rock] Created a rock ring that connects Monon and Ice Snow Dragon like a safety belt.

[Kaaa!]

Ice Snow Dragon roared and spread its jade-white wings.

It flew up, flapping its wings, and started heading somewhere.

[Wow….]

Monon’s eyes twinkled as if the ground she saw from high above was strange.

[This is my first experience!]

“Is that so?”

[But where are you going?]

“You will know when you go.”

We arrived at a village in Gerber Kingdom.

There was no one passing by at the time.

It was fortunate. Most people, when they see me, bend their heads like they’re going to hit the ground, so it’s burdensome.

“You worked hard, Hild.”

[Go, master.]

After getting off the Ice and Snow Dragon with Monon, I reverse summoned the Ice and Snow Dragon.

We headed to a small house in the village.

As soon as we knocked on the door, a middle-aged woman came out and greeted us as if she had waited.

“Welcome, Mr. Bingje.”

Since she had already said that she would come, she was not surprised and greeted her slightly.

Monon tilted her head in puzzlement.

“Please come in.”

We went inside the house.

Sniff sniff. Monon’s nose twitched.

The guy stopped his feet. As she opened her eyes wider and wider.

It was after he caught sight of an elderly gray-haired man lying in bed.

The upper skin bone. It’s a skinny look.

The blanket was charred where the man’s right leg should be.

“Your master, I was looking for you. Go have a look.”

At the very least, I was thinking of finding a grave once I left this world.

Fortunately, he was still alive.

Monon trudged to the side of the bed with a startled look on his face.

[Bilbo… ?]

Hearing his name, Bilbo, the old man, breathed heavily and opened his eyes to look at Monon.

Her bony arm gently stroked Monon’s hair.

Monon’s eyes were wet. He didn’t take his eyes off Bilbo even for a moment.

[I remember now. I remembered…. Bilbo, I can’t remember what you look like, so I draw a picture every day, and I try to remember it somehow… , I worked really hard. Yes, this is what it looked like….]

Monon was delighted as he touched Bilbo’s hand on his head with a small raccoon hand.

I thought you would recognize me when I met you.

The man in front of her was already far from the arrogant figure of her youth that Monon had known.

However, in Monon’s eyes, he still looked like the owner he had been adventuring with 60 years ago.

[I really lived hard? I want to show off what I made, so I’m afraid you’ll come back someday…. In the meantime, I often opened the door and looked outside, afraid that you might have returned if I only heard the sound of the wind…. But at some point, I kept thinking that you wouldn’t come back, so I was very scared. I missed you so much….]

Bilbo didn’t even seem to have the strength to speak. He just stared at Monon silently with guilt-soaked eyes.

The middle-aged woman who greeted us was Bilbo’s daughter. She heard about her situation from her.

Bilbo was an adventurer who was active in the adventurer’s guild. He didn’t have enough skills and didn’t have any colleagues, but he had a romance with adventurers, so he couldn’t easily quit his job.

One day, he was motivated and accepted a request to subdue a dangerous monster. The result was a tragedy. He was shot in the leg by a monster with deadly poison.

The venom was said to have the property of extending like a spider’s web after taking the stung area as its own territory. The destination was death.

It would have been fine if he deciphered it quickly, but Bilbo said that the antidote was expensive and hadn’t prepared it in advance.

It was a complacent decision stemming from cost issues and lack of experience.

When I finally came back, it was so late that I couldn’t afford the tolerable amount of treatment.

In the end, Bilbo decided to give up his adventurer ways and his legs.

He didn’t want Monon, his only friend and familiar, to be sad. She thought that by keeping Monon by her side, she would make him unhappy.

Bilbo, who knew that Monon was interested in the workshop while studying human language, lied to Monon that he wanted to do the workshop after he gave up being an adventurer.

And he couldn’t find himself, so he went to a faraway island and secretly built a shabby shop and left books there.

It was a secret shop, a new place that Monon provided so that he could spread his will.

‘If you think about it, it was like that.’

I thought he did it out of guilt.

I was wrong. How could he have poured so much effort into the familiar he was going to throw away anyway?

Bilbo reassured Monon that he would come back with the urgent business.

Don’t let Monon follow you. And he hoped that over time he would naturally forget about sleeping.

After that, Bilbo amputated his own leg, where the poisonous core had already settled. He was able to save his life thanks to him.

However, due to the side effects of the poison, he couldn’t even control his body properly and had to lie down all the time.

Then, when his daughter came down to his hometown, she was horrified to see Bilbo dying and decided to support him.

“… ….”

Bilbo abandoned Monon, but his intention was to make Monon happy.

There must have been a better way, but considering it now, it was a pointless question.

The one-legged old man and the raccoon beast, who were once linked by a familiar contract, held each other’s hands tightly.

They seemed to have a lot to talk about, so they moved away.

……

Monon decided to continue the workshop.

Because that was Bilbo’s will.

He said he had already heard about it, so he decided to be content with visiting Bilbo from time to time.

While I was riding Ice and Snow Dragon-Heeld across the evening sky, Monon thanked me.

She was honest about how she thought she would never be able to see her former owner, but that was something she had figured out a long time ago.

Now to the point.

“Hey, Monon.”

[Why?]

“You don’t have to wait for him anymore, do you?”

I asked Monon with a smile.

[That’s right, but….]

“Then it doesn’t have to be a ‘secret shop’, right?”

[Huh?]

Suspicion crept into Monon’s expression.

It will be next year that he will proudly set up a workshop at the Marchen Academy Shopping Center.

……

It snows every day in the Duchy of Whiteclark.

This is because the traces of battle left by Veronica Aslius, the primordial ice emperor, remain like scars, bringing about an endless winter.

I went deep into the snowy mountain nestled there and came to a cave.

As we crossed the cave, we saw a crackling bonfire.

In front of him, a female demon with a bizarre appearance was lying on a blanket and struggling to breathe.

[…] Is it you, Bingje.]

“Hello.”

Mephisto of the contract.

That demon looked at me with a miserable look.

Currently, the scope of my demon detection ability is worldwide.

I was able to see everything about the demons as if I were looking at the palm of my hand, as well as where the demons were.

Thanks to that, finding Mephisto was very simple.

“It’s become a joke.”

Saying calmly, I sat across from Mephisto and warmed up by the bonfire.

The reason he came late was because he wanted Mephisto to suffer even a little more.

The little creation minions were nibbling away all over the guy’s body. It was the work of Snow White, made of the magic of the night.

You must be feeling terrible pain that is difficult to describe. It would look grotesque when the blanket was pulled up.

When I looked closely, I saw gray powder coming out like grains of sand.

Asmodians are beings made up of dark magic.

Dark magic is the criterion for classifying demons. It is the life force provided by the evil spirit.

Materials collapse when important components disappear. That’s why the demons left gray powder instead of corpses.

The process of Mephisto’s collapse was also taking place slowly. Soon the guy would be completely dead.

[Gear is coming…. It’s funny. Are you here to laugh… ?]

“Didn’t you tell me?”

He smiled kindly.

“I will find you and kill you.”

I had no intention of letting Mephisto just collapse.

I wanted to end it with my own hands before it collapsed.

[Right… , it was….]

Mephisto’s ‘whooping’ laughter was scattered in the cold air.

I looked at the bonfire and opened my mouth.

“… Let me ask you one thing. It seems that Nephid intended to create and rule the world of demons. What was the reason?”

[Is that a question now? ?]

Mephisto burst into laughter.

Why did Nephid become the demon king and evil god? And why did he try to destroy the world?

I was curious about the motive.

If you are Mephisto, the representative of the evil spirit, you must know it well.

Mephisto answered with a trembling voice, making a sound of air escaping.

[Nephid-nim… , Rejecting the mission given by the creator god, he decided to live the way he wanted to live….]

“… ….”

[That’s it….]

A very simple and primitive motive, that I just did it because I wanted to.

It’s clear.

“I see.”

My curiosity has been resolved.

I got up and stood in front of Mephisto.

He didn’t even seem to have the strength to move a finger.

This bonfire must have been lit with the last of its strength.

He stretched out his right hand towards Mephisto. As it was, his ice magic was condensed.

[Even if I leave at least the last words… ?]

Wow!!

5-Star ice magic, [Ice Explosion].

The shock wave exploded Mephisto’s torso and extinguished the bonfire.

Mephisto’s head bounced off the wall and then rolled on the floor. In those eyes, only empty emotions remained like afterglow.

Soon Mephisto turned into gray powder and was blown away by the raging cold air.

In a cave filled with darkness and the sound of the wind.

I turned my back and left the place.
