Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

42 – Demonic flood. (3)

Preparations to face the flood of demonic waters were progressing step by step. There were reports that demonic beasts were gradually flooding into the islands. There was even news that that number was unusual.

Most commercial flights to the islands were cut off. This is because the streets were littered with demonic beasts, and there were hardly any foolish merchants who could break through them and continue their journey.

Sometimes, curious people came forward, saying that this was an opportunity, but it did not end well. They believed in their own protection, but the demonic beasts that invaded the island this time were not people that mere mercenaries could deal with.

Of course, there were some high-ranking mercenaries who were quite skilled, but they just laughed at those who went up in this situation, calling them crazy.

Because they were people who had been eating kalbab for a long time, they were able to make a decision right away.

This situation is not something that can be easily resolved.

Rather than throwing away one’s life for a trivial business, joining the soon-to-be imperial punitive force is the way to gain both compensation and honor.

They knew that in a situation like this, the imperial family would have no choice but to step forward, and they stored up their strength. Because I know that the day when I have to fight to the death is not far away anyway.

With commercial flights cut off, the system through which so many people used to travel could not help but tremble with anxiety.

Fortunately, people who lived in villages near Jedo Island were able to move to Jedo Island thanks to the quick response of the Capital Defense Force, but those who had lost their homes were creating an atmosphere of uncertainty.

My father said yesterday that he had received permission from the Emperor for the matter I mentioned. In other words, Lancel’s private army could be used to protect civilians.

They say the world is going crazy, but the current emperor is a person who cares more about his people than you might think. At least, I set it that way because I thought the emperor shouldn’t be crazy when the world is crazy, but thanks to that, I found relief in not having to see the crazy emperor run amok.

Once again, I was able to realize how greatly influenced I was by each and every phrase in the writing I had roughly scribbled when I was immature. If I really pretended to be crazy and wrote a novel…… That must have been kind of scary.

I can’t believe that the butterfly effect of an immature enemy can come out like this. Still, I was glad that I wrote in a more normal category than I thought.

Thank goodness it was ten years ago. If I had fallen as a villain in the world of the novel I wrote when I was in my second year of middle school…… I was probably just a passing extra. That’s also a harsh criticism of the main character.

As I was lost in useless thoughts, Asti quietly opened my door and came in.

“They say the number of demonic beasts is increasing tremendously. Everything went as you expected. If this continues, a huge swarm of demonic beasts will flock to the islands.”

“Don’t forget that our purpose remains the same. And Asti.”

“Huh?”

“Once you get the heart of the dragon, show me your familiars. “Let’s see how strong you are.”

“Did you know that I have a familiar?”

“There’s no way you wouldn’t know. I knew your true name from the beginning. The Dragon of Sloth, the Snake of Curse, and the Black Spirit Legion. Right?”

“Exactly. There’s really nothing you don’t know…….”

I know he has very strong familiars, but I still need to analyze his exact power. Coincidentally, after this demonic flood incident, a brief school closure was announced, so I thought I would go to a quiet place and check on them.

“First, we have to think about catching the subdragon.”

“You said the subdragon was near the mountain range, right?”

“Okay. That’s what the three articles I sent you last time said. He tried to go all the way to the center of the Termere Mountains, but felt a scary feeling and immediately retreated. I wanted to look there, but I couldn’t find my way. “Like a prey facing an apex predator.”

“If it’s a scary energy…… “Is it a peer?”

“It will be so. Because subdragons are definitely dragons. Unless you are a person with transcendental mental strength, your legs will immediately lose strength. “At least they were knights, so they didn’t faint and came back unharmed.”

“Ah-hang.”

“Now that everything has been confirmed, including where he is, all we can really do is wait. Let’s take a good look at the situation and move on. “Once the demons of the system are sorted out, let’s go catch him first.”

“Okay. But he’s not that strong, is he?”

“I guess I can catch it with one of your familiars?”

Along is far too strong by the standards of humans, including me, but

Asti smiled leisurely. Okay. He had nothing to worry about.

I thought so until then.

* * *

How did this happen now? I couldn’t help but feel a sense of despair. As always, the world tends to lightly trample on the wishes of those who sincerely wish for them.

The reason I was so embarrassed was simple.

It was reported that a dragon had come down the Termere Mountains and was approaching the islands.

Why? Was there a reason for him to come down? What caused the narrative to become distorted this time?

Confusion overtook me. The fact that a dragon was coming to the islands was much more terrible news than the news that a swarm of demonic beasts were heading to the islands.

Of course we have the power to stop the sub-dragon. However, when he enters the system, the damage becomes extreme. Above all, I will no longer be able to take his heart separately.

How could you take his heart in front of everyone? Obviously, all the loot from this demonic beast subjugation will be returned to the national treasury, and the same will apply to the corpse of Aryon.

This is a disaster.

I felt a headache. What should I do with this? For me now, the heart of the subdragon was an essential item and elixir. Without that heart, it will definitely be difficult to survive after chapter 3.

It must never be taken away by the imperial family.

Then…… There was only one way left.

Kill him before he reaches the island.

It wasn’t impossible. Because Asti was there. With her help, we can fully defeat Myrong. Isn’t the reason why we tried to go to the secret place of the dragon in the first place to subdue the dragon without being noticed by others?

But at that moment, something flashed. Stealth magic. Asti can handle most types of magic, right?

All you have to do is use stealth magic to secretly catch the dragon and take out its heart. Okay. Then it will be okay.

However, we had to hurry to catch it before it got near the island. Time was running out. If he arrives near the island, it means that the demonic beast is already attacking the island.

I hurriedly looked for Asti.

“Huh? Prah. Why? Is something happening? “My complexion is not good either.”

Asti calmly opened her door and welcomed me. Her room was filled with something indescribably pink.

If I think about it, I haven’t even been near his room since he settled in the mansion…… It’s surprising, but this guy has really girly tastes.

No, this is not the time for sentimentality like this. I quickly explained the situation to Asti.

“So, we have to subdue Myrong now? Even using my stealth magic?”

“Okay. The plan went awry. “I’m really sorry.”

“No, you have nothing to be sorry about…… The method itself is fine. “If we use stealth magic and have familiars fight, it will become a common fight between magical beasts.”

“That’s why I’m saying it. “If the heart of the dragon is returned to the imperial family, I don’t have the elixir to drink at this point.”

“Is the heart of the subdragon absolutely necessary?”

“…… Huh.”

“I can’t help it. “I guess I’ll have to do something for our incompetent master.”

Asti said with a playful smile. It was a sign of approval. Actually, I could have forced it…… Looking back on the past month and a half that I spent with Asti, I no longer wanted to force her to do anything.

Since she had never refused to listen to me in the first place, there was no need or desire to force her.

This guy is really nice. I wasn’t an angel for nothing.

I was so thankful that I hugged him with all my might without even realizing it.

“Thank you!”

“Ugh.”

At that time, Asti made an inexplicable sound. It seemed like something was very embarrassing, so I dropped my body without even realizing it.

“Oh, sorry.”

“Surprise… …. Anyway, can I just go right away?”

“Yes.”

For some reason, Asti spoke with her face slightly downcast.

“Okay. I’ll prepare…… “Can you please leave my room first?”

“Ah, yes. Sorry. “They came in suddenly.”

“No, no. Because it’s urgent…… Anyway, once I’m ready, I’ll go to your room.”

“Thank you, really.”

“Honestly, it’s okay to just give orders.”

“I would have done that when I first met you, but…… “I don’t really want to do that anymore.”

When I said that, Asti silently pointed to her door with her finger. Knowing that he was a quiet guest, I immediately came out of his room.

There was something strange about the reaction……. Anyway, with Asti’s help and his familiars, we’ll be able to catch the dragon before it gets near the islands.
