Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

52 – Behemoth. (4)

It was a coincidence that I encountered the saint. In the process of dealing with the demonic beasts that had knowingly or unknowingly entered the system, Adrian Deus was carrying out the duties inherent in his position as a saint.

The mission to protect people and protect them from evil things.

I knew at that moment what I had to do. Now I had to send this woman to Ruslan. Since Ruslan’s location was roughly known, she had to be sent there.

In an instant, she kicked off the ground and ran towards her saint.

“Saint!”

The saintess looked a little embarrassed as she saw me suddenly running towards her.

“Uh, Mr. Prach?”

“I need the saint’s help!”

“You mean my help?”

From noble mtl dot com

I urgently explained the situation.

“A terrible demon has appeared at the eastern gate of the island. It’s a guy called Behemoth…….”

“Behemoth!”

The saint cried out hysterically.

“No way, at the bottom of hell…” ….”

Lord Rudereck nodded in response. Behemoth certainly seemed to be a very infamous demon beast. In particular, the saintess will learn about all kinds of creatures from hell, so her reaction will be even more intense.

“That’s right. That guy is right. “Lord Rudereck said the same thing.”

“It really wasn’t the time. “Did you say you were an alumnus?”

“That’s right. There is a high possibility that it will be opened soon. “I need the saint’s help.”

“But I think it would be difficult for me alone… ….”

The saint stamped her feet. She knows it too. She can’t handle a monster like Behemoth on her own.

“He didn’t come in right away, so we have a little time. In the meantime, I would like to deliver news to the Commander of the Imperial Knights. “The saint gathers the priests and the holy knights.”

“…… All right.”

I left immediately after finishing what I had to say. I guess I need to find the knight commander.

The number of demons that have leaked into the system right now is not that many, so it would be better to tell the Imperial Knight Commander now.

However, there is one problem: we do not know the exact location of the Imperial Knight Commander.

But it wasn’t that difficult to figure it out. Just ask the knights guarding the imperial castle. Since I am Lancel’s successor, I will not treat them carelessly either.

I kept running. Of course, it wasn’t just running. While dealing with the hired soldiers and fighting demons every time I pass by. In the first place, my role was to deal with the demonic beasts.

Of course, from the moment Behemoth breaks through the gate, and as the demonic beasts gradually expand the breached wall, the inside of the system will become chaos…… We had to move quickly.

When the Imperial Knight Commander goes to subdue Behemoth, from then on, it will be Asti and I who will have to protect the system.

If Behemoth was stronger than I thought, I might have to join.

The soldiers got more value for their money than they thought. The private soldiers near the demon beasts I just dealt with were protecting the islanders while evacuating them.

The magic beasts all looked different and had different ways of dealing with them, but seeing as they were blocking them well, they seemed to be quite skilled.

I could see the central square of the island, the huge imperial castle that could only be seen from a considerable distance, and the appearance of residents taking refuge there from all over the island.

Fortunately, it seems that the evacuation work is not too late. If only the central square were this bustling. The soldiers were faithfully evacuating people at that moment.

The atmosphere itself wasn’t good, but I was satisfied that at least it wasn’t a scene of chaos. Since this was the place where Behemoth was being defeated, people needed to quickly enter the castle.

As the title “Empire” Cannot be given carelessly, the imperial castle was large enough to accommodate all of the island’s residents, so there was no particular problem.

It’s okay if the emperor is a little uncomfortable. It’s none of my business.

I found knights among the crowd and asked them for the location of the knight commander.

“Are you talking about the knight commander?”

Even though they were frantic, they seemed to immediately recognize who I was and politely asked back.

“Yes. “Where are you?”

“The leader is currently receiving a report on the situation in the situation room of the Knights’ building. You are responding by synthesizing the entire battlefield situation. Originally, this was the job of the commander of the Capital Defense Force, but…… There are not enough troops, so the knight commander is currently in charge. “Anyway, you seem to be in a hurry. What’s going on?”

“A giant demon has appeared at the eastern gate where Lord Ruderek is. Now that we know the situation, Sir, you are here. “I will see the leader in person.”

“Ah, yes. All right.”

I quickly ran towards the situation room. sh*t. There are so many people that it’s crazy.

Still, the area around the knights’ building was quite quiet, perhaps because it was under control, so I quickly explained my business to the knights standing guard and told them that I had to see the leader as soon as possible.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the value of my name, they did not stop me, and I was able to reach the situation room without difficulty.

But there was one problem.

Usually, the situation room where the knight commander explains the situation is a place where all kinds of high-ranking people gather.

That’s right.

What I found after kicking open the door of the situation room was all the nobles, my father, and the emperor, who were listening to the knight commander’s explanation with a sombre expression.

In an instant, the knight commander’s remarks stopped and silence filled the situation room.

“What’s going on? Are you…… Isn’t this a small duke? “Why did you come here when you should be protected safely?”

“What’s going on, Prah?”

The knight commander and my father were looking at me in bewilderment, and the emperor was just sitting with an expressionless face.

But, just because there are people with high reputations, does that mean I won’t use them if I don’t say what I have to say?

“A huge demon has appeared at the east gate of the island. Neither magic nor holy magic worked properly, so the commander of the Capital Defense Force, Lord Ruderek, said he desperately needed help from the Knight Commander.”

I calmly explained the situation.

“Giant demon beast? Why are you making such a fuss? “There is no need for excessive examples, so please feel free to explain.”

I answered the emperor’s question by looking straight into his eyes. The emperor does not judge indecisive or timid people. He was a rather cool-headed and sharp person, so he needed to show a confident attitude.

“This is a Behemoth that lives at the bottom of hell. It is a terrifying beast whose size far exceeds the walls of the castle and has huge tentacles wrapped around its entire body. It is said to be truly the apex predator of the depths of hell. From what I heard at first glance, the fact that magic and sacred magic did not work properly, and the fact that it looked exactly as it appeared in the literature, I was convinced that it was a Behemoth.”

“Behemoth. I know that guy too. “Chief of Knights.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Follow Duke So’s guidance and defeat Behemoth.”

“Yes!”

The knight commander simply shouted ‘yes’ without even saying that it was possible. It was an action born of confidence. I am confident that I can at least slay such a demonic beast.

But that confidence will be powerless in the face of Behemoth. It is true that the Knight Commander is incredibly strong, but the power of a normal swordsman cannot inflict significant damage to Behemoth.

Is it for no reason that Ruslan used the candlestick of St. Valencia?

Without that weapon, you cannot properly hit the Behemoth. The justice manifested in the candlestick was the blade itself that destroyed the devil. However, if that too is blocked by its tentacles, there is no answer.

It knew very well that its natural enemy was the power expressed by celestial beings, and that is why it has always evolved in a way that it can resist celestial beings.

So, its tentacles contained the power to resist magical power and divine power.

Even if there was a blade that appeared from the candlestick, it was obvious that he would block it with his tentacles.

The reason I said I needed a knight commander for the punitive force was because I needed someone to take off its tentacles.

Although the Knight Commander has far-off skills, there are countless beings in hell as strong as the Knight Commander. Behemoth was a guy who preyed on those guys.

The saint requires a great deal of strength, and Ruslan’s righteous heart needs an assistant to pierce the heart of the Behemoth, so a knight commander is needed. Without a knight commander, the bastard cannot be completely killed. It wasn’t like that.

Still, at least it was better than nothing. He’ll try very hard to get Behemoth’s attention. Additionally, removing the tentacles protecting its body would have been the icing on the cake.

“Please guide me.”

“I understand, Captain.”

“How many troops are there?”

“There are also the Capital Defense Force and the Holy Kingdom’s priests and paladins.”

“Ah, it looks like you asked the saint for help. “I understand.”

“Even if the saint is here, you must not let down your guard. Because you live in hell, you never know what you might do.”

“hahahaha. That’s natural. “I never let down my guard when dealing with anyone.”

Is that really the case?

Even though he was laughing loudly, my worries only increased. This is because in the battle to subdue Behemoth in the original work, there was a situation where he was careless and almost made a mistake.

…… I guess I should be watching too.

There aren’t that many demonic beasts in the system right now, so I changed my plan. I decided to watch Behemoth and take action when the situation called for it.
