Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

45 – Demonic Water Flood. (6)

There is a saying that seeing a hundred words is worth seeing. There is a saying that hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once…… That’s exactly how I feel right now.

What on earth have I done and what kind of being has bound me?

I already knew that Asti was a very great being.

When designing the character right away, we put in all the settings of Astaroth, who appears as Solomon’s 72 demons, and the Sumerian goddess Ishtar, the origin of the character, so it was bound to be amazing.

However, rather than simply knowing, thinking about, and seeing the words in a novel, seeing it with your own eyes was a completely different story.

Look. The image of Asty using that mighty dragon as his servant. As the name suggests, Sloth, the Dragon of Sloth, was a very lazy dragon, but he was a dragon who was more eager than anyone else to complete work in situations where he could not be idle.

Because I want to rest faster than anyone else!

Slos’ magic bombardment was truly terrible. Even though I have seen all kinds of strange things falling in the world in novels, this was the first time I saw a lump of magic pouring down like rain from the sky.

As expected, it can be said to be a majesty worthy of a powerful being called a dragon. A true dragon that cannot be compared to things like subdragons.

Along was unable to offer any resistance and was just being hit by Sloth’s magic bombardment. And the demon beasts next to them were also dying unexpectedly from the attack aimed at the sub-dragon.

It was the first time in my life that I looked at the demon beasts with pity. I could only utter astonishment and admiration.

But the next moment.

Along was not suffering just as well. The saint’s remains may have given him strength, because a wave of divine power enveloped his body.

-Keeek!

A sacred barrier was not simply created. This is because tremendous sacred power swirled from the sacred barrier around it and gradually began to gather in one place.

Highest sacred spell, light of purification. This is an offensive sacred spell that Saint Este mainly used.

This spell is powerful enough to oxidize mid-level demons just by touching it, and even high-level demons will suffer significant damage if hit properly…… Ah-ryong is using it.

The surrounding demon beasts were swept away by the sub-dragon’s attack and were dying as well.

Are you crazy? How can Aryon use that? Does that happen simply because the remains of a saint were attached to her body? Since it was a phenomenon that even I couldn’t understand, Sloth was probably quite embarrassed.

Slos, facing the light of purification that erased his magic bombardment and blocked the light with a magical barrier, could not help but crack the barrier.

As if watching a monster battle movie, the earth shook and all the surrounding ground began to be swept away. If Asti hadn’t dropped her off in a safe place, she thought she might have died.

…… She felt glad that she had actually asked Asti.

I continued to monitor the situation. It wasn’t simply the light of purification that was the problem. The highest level divine spells began to gradually strengthen the guy’s body.

I thought that the reason he was able to use the saint’s power was because of the saint’s persistence.

Saint Este was a person who sacrificed her body to close the huge evil that opened in the human world, so her sense of duty while she was alive may remain in her remains.

That sense of duty would have been an obsession with eradicating demonic beasts or evil things, and that obsession would have been aimed at the sub-dragons around him, who, although they had a ferocious personality, were far from evil by nature.

But why, why does this happen even though I didn’t do anything? Why?

For reasons unknown to me, I felt my head hurting. Damn it. Since it was unknown where the butterfly effect originated, there were limits to guessing.

Maybe it’s just a situation that tells us that this world is no longer the world of novels. It’s not that common for everything to go as planned.

However. Even though the resistance of the subdragon was strong, Sloth was never pushed back by it. Sloth seemed embarrassed when a crack appeared in the magic barrier, and as if he had never been embarrassed before, he launched an even more powerful barrage of magic.

The sacred barrier that seemed so strong began to fade in an instant, and the light of purification it was shooting gradually weakened.

A variable is just a variable. Asty and Sloth are the final bosses of Chapter 3. Moreover, the two do not become particularly ‘stronger’ from the beginning of the story until now.

In other words, its current strength is the same as when it was the final boss of Chapter 3.

So, this means that there will never be a situation where a dragon wearing the remains of a saint can overcome the two. The confusion just now must have been due to surprise because the dragon was shooting a sacred beam.

In the ensuing magical bombardment, the divine barrier that Ah-ryong had deployed was completely destroyed. Perhaps, sooner or later, the power of the sub-dragon will run out. Asti continued to watch the situation, and Sloth gathered his magic around his mouth as if it was time to end it.

I know very well what that power is. Why, when it comes to the fantasy world, there is a common theme that always pops up.

Breath. Yongjong’s strongest technique, otherwise known as breath.

The power was on a different level from the light of purification that Ah-ryong shot with the power of the saint.

Quaaa!

The breath of white frost shot out with an earth-shaking sound and began to freeze the entire ground. Yalong also could not escape the influence of breath.

This guy is a dragon, but how could a sub-dragon try to imitate a real dragon? There is a vast difference between a dragon and something that does not become a dragon.

Aryong’s body gradually begins to freeze. Fortunately, Sloth was a white dragon. Although its frost breath will freeze the subdragon, it will not destroy the body itself.

The dragon’s heart will also be well preserved. If he could get the heart properly, the goal of catching the subdragon would have been achieved.

As I watched, I was overcome with very complicated feelings.

A world of crazy power inflation. That sub-dragon itself was ridiculously strong at this point, but the sloth dragons Sloth and Asti were even worse.

If that sub-dragon had crawled to the island, the island would never have been in good shape.

It’s fortunate that we stopped him here. In his current state, he can’t overcome even if Ruslan wakes up from death. Just a dragon is too much for Ruslan, but if he has the remains of a saint wrapped around his body…… It’s a sure loss.

I turned my gaze a little. Then, I saw the demonic beasts frozen by Sloth’s breath.

Probably all of those demonic beasts have been exterminated. However, it will not have much of a hindrance to Ruslan’s growth.

Because.

Anyway, it’s not something that can be stopped even if that level of demonic beasts die. Purple. The endless sight of those guys pouring out from behind.

The guys didn’t even care whether Myryong was dead or not, or whether Sloth was shooting his breath or not, and ran towards the island as if they were possessed by something.

Is it an imprint engraved in our instincts? This is something I cannot know. Why are they heading there like crazy?

Well, how do humans know what animals think?

What I would do now was simple. All you have to do is just calmly sort out the situation and gulp the heart of the dragon that Asti stole.

I quietly observed the situation. There is nothing I can do at this stage. I’ll probably have to run around soon after defeating the subdragon…… Let’s think of this as a break for then.

* * *

Asti and Sloth looked at the dragon. Its body was completely frozen and could not be considered alive. A complete ice sculpture. The two, who were sensing his vital activity, looked at each other and nodded.

“It ended quickly.”

-He is a useless guy at best. If you work hard, your pride as a dragon will not be restored.

“I guess you care about such things because you’re so lazy?”

-It is a matter of pride for the entire Dragon race that has nothing to do with individual tendencies. Just because I’m stuck in hell doesn’t mean I don’t have pride as a dragon.

“Well. You were strangely picky. Anyway, you and I are both in a terrible situation. “You, who were a dragon in heaven, became a dragon in hell, and I also went from an angel to a devil.”

-Isn’t it because we both dislike the restraints of heaven? I was quite surprised when he suddenly came to see me.

“We said we should cooperate with each other. I was dumbfounded when he suddenly said he would become my minion. “Just a cooperative relationship is enough.”

-Because you have a high reputation among demons. He was the archangel who was the same number as Baal. Astaroth, the angel who received the greatest favor from the heavenly god Deus.

“It’s much weaker than that now. “Literally, my strength was thanks to the grace of my damn father.”

-Anyway, I thought I would benefit from that. If I just introduce myself as your familiar, those pesky demons won’t touch me. There were so many people who bothered me even if they were thrown into the bottom of hell.

“…… “It was like that.”

-Anyway, is your goal the heart of that bastard?

“Rather than my purpose, it is my contractor’s purpose. Because I’m so weak…… “He said he felt like he needed to become a little stronger.”

-I see. Anyway, I’m a little curious. What on earth did you like about that contractor?

“Well. Just…… Are you just trying to survive? “There are other reasons why I can’t tell you.”

-I see.

Sloth nodded his head without saying anything.

“Anyway, thank you for your hard work, Sloth. “It must have been annoying.”

-It’s okay. Anyway, I had been resting too much so it was just a moment when I needed to move a little. I will go soon. Now that I’ve relaxed, I’m going to sleep again.

“Goodbye.”

Just as he had come out, as soon as Asti opened the gates of hell, Sloth threw himself into it again.

Asty watched Sloth’s appearance and approached the sub-dragon, and soon stored his heart and the saint’s remains in his subspace.

“What reward will Prah give you this time?”

Humming her tune, Asti spread her wings.
