Academy Munchkin Enslaved

70 – Final War (5)

“Phenomena Reverse Engineering.”

I prepared for the final battle.

I wrapped the maximum amount of defense magic all over my body.

According to the goddess, the 7th tier magic is at a level comparable to the power of the Heavens and the Demon King, albeit weakly.

It was clear that if you wrapped around the 7th tier magic, you would be able to block several attacks from the demon king.

“The last dragon’s forehead skin. The last outburst of the unknown paladin. Young master is the shield of the family of extinction-“

The 7th tier magics that started covering my body all had their own stories.

A war between the Elyos and the Asmodians that has been repeated for thousands of years.

And the traces of beings in the middle world who have endured to survive in the storm of blood.

The 7th tier magics that are intertwined with ancient tales were all such beings.

It was a human hymn that contained their memories and struggles, and it was their last effort to bring this land into existence.

That was the meaning of the 7th tier defense magic that heavily surrounded my body.

I could never take this weight lightly.

“Don’t die. Mister.”

“I will never die. Both of you are safe.”

Before leading the troops of the Dearheart family of Lorraine to the battlefield, he approached me and said.

As far as I could feel, she was still spoiled Lorraine at the academy, but Lorraine, who had spent nine years since then, had become a full-fledged dear heart.

She reached the 6th tier at the youngest age, and she was a skill that would not be inferior even if she inherited the family head right away, so it was clear that she would show her good performance in this battle as well.

“I must… We have to meet again… “

Kwaak-

Maybe because it feels like it’s the last time.

Lorraine showed an uncharacteristically weak figure and hugged me tightly.

I also lightly stroked Lorraine’s head, and after a while she moved away from me.

“See you later.”

“… Huh. Please.”

She ate and turned around as if she had made up her mind.

As Dearheart, you can’t show weakness.

Surely, she would show a good performance on the battlefield.

Thanks to that, I will be able to fight back with trust.

“Shall we go?”

With each step the demon king took, the color of the sky became more and more black.

A presence that can be clearly felt even from a distance.

Her whole body trembled just by feeling the air, but she couldn’t give up without bumping into it.

“Sky Walker.”

I followed the Elyos who were still flying in the slightly blue sky on the other side and walked to the darkened sky of the demon king.

*

The scene was terrifying, but at the same time it was like watching a work of art.

The demons and the Elyos clashed black and white, and the demons and the holy power were mixed, continuing a fierce battle.

However, the color of blood was the same whether it was the Asmodian or the Elyos, and the faces of the dead were equally pale.

Even in the midst of so many destructions and deaths, the Demon King simply closed his eyes and took one step forward, one step at a time.

It was just an action of walking, but no one could reach that radius.

”Whoa, whoa, f*ck it. It’s f*cking scary.”

After returning to this world, I experienced many battles.

I was already used to blood and death.

However, the existence of that Demon King was not something to be taken lightly at all.

No other demons and monsters he’s ever dealt with could compare to him.

Even the Elyos flying above his head couldn’t overcome his presence.

-Is it you?

While I was looking at the demon king and taking a deep breath, he suddenly stopped, and at the same time his eyes opened, a neutral voice rang in my head.

-Are you a warrior?

I couldn’t avoid it anymore. The battle had to begin before the Demon King advanced to the uncontaminated land.

I checked the defense magic that was wrapped around my body once again and slowly descended to the ground.

“Yes. Are you a demon king?”

“… The heroes of this generation are heterogeneous. It seems that even the celestials couldn’t help it.”

When I stood in front of him, he opened his mouth.

Because I was also the one who had not received the gift, he seemed to feel a sense of alienation from me, unlike the former warriors.

Damn goddesses. Do you want me to fight the demon lord?

“It means that Lilithia did a good job. She has a good load.”

“She is a good confidant. Except she was blinded by an impossible love.”

It seemed like Lilithia was talking about what was left of the human world after falling in love with Miya’s father.

However, in the end, Lilithia remained in the middle world and prevented the intervention of the celestial world, so I couldn’t receive the gift.

Somehow, it had to be her fault that things had come this far.

“Thanks to that, such an incompetent hero was born. Don’t worry though. You will lose as usual anyway.”

“… You are arrogant. Without that power, humans could never defeat me. Even if you spread 7 magic circles.”

“… Is it really so?”

“Not sure. You can’t crush this body with just such shallow histories.”

There was not an inch of shaking in the face of the demon king.

As he said, is it really impossible to defeat the demon lord without a gift?

Does it mean that only 7th level magic does not work on you?

I wonder if that meant that the demon lord slayer the goddess spoke of would also not be eaten?

‘No, that’s not it.’

That wasn’t it. If there was a demon lord slayer, he would surely be able to stand against the demon lord.

Even as a goddess, she had no reason to lie like that, because in this war she had to bring victory.

Seeing that the demonic energy flowing from the demon lord’s eyes clung tenaciously to the flow of mana surrounding me, he seemed to have grasped my magic.

It was reasonable to see that I said that because I knew that I couldn’t open the Demon Lord Slayer’s magic circle.

“… It’s just a matter of earning time. Don’t bother.”

Then he closed his eyes again.

At the same time, the gigantic magi cut through the air like the wind, just like the wind.

“… !”

And that quiet demonic wind pierced me faster than light, and in an instant it peeled off 6 of the 9 defensive magic that surrounded me and split it in half.

Peeing-

Magi, split in half, turned my back into a wasteland.

Even though it was only a matter of condensing the demonic energy extremely thin and flying it, it was a serious power.

“… That’s a pretty sophisticated calculation. It deserves praise.”

“Thank you.”

His strength was immeasurably deep, but that didn’t stop him.

In an instant, I calculated the Divine Cyclone, and the cold Divine Storm wrapped around him.

The fact that the demonic energy he exhaled was scattered along with the storm did not seem to have any effect.

However,

“… It stings. Excellent.”

The Demon King, who was standing at the center of the storm until the divine whirlpool was disrupted, stood there without suffering any damage.

Ah, maybe it really stung, but I was scratching my chest.

“… f*ck.”

I could definitely feel the difference in class. Maybe it really wasn’t something that a half hero like me could defeat.

However, I couldn’t stop. He had to fight. Because I chose to do that.

“The Scar of Grams.”

Scar of Grams. It is a 7th tier magic named after an assassin who was a member of the hero’s party in the past.

Spell that cuts through the opponent with a poison-stained dagger until he collapses, leaving a wound that will never heal.

It was a magic that could buy enough time, and in the meantime, other 7th tier magics had to be calculated and stirred.

“… Under. hahahaha. f*ck.”

But this was also to no avail.

The demon king, who had been hacked up for a while, released his demonic energy for an instant and dispelled the magic in an instant.

Dispel? No, it wasn’t Dispel. It was just that the vast amount of magic that made up the 7th hierarchy was covered with an even greater amount of demonic magic.

A definite scar was left on the skin of the demon king cut by the infinite blade.

However, once the demonic energy covered his body, all the scars disappeared as well.

In the meantime, I prepared the next magic, but even that was blocked by his gesture.

“No matter how great magic is, it doesn’t matter to this body. All of that history was made under the feet of this body.”

That’s exactly what it said.

It is great magic, but in the history of these magics, there is no story of defeating the demon king.

Only the magic under the black throne of the demon king will contain the story of defeating the demon king.

“As expected… I can’t help it… “

– You did a great job. Warrior

The time when I had to take the risk and use the last method,

The Elyos came down from the sky with the bright lights that even covered the surrounding demons.

The Elyos from before were still fighting. That meant that these Elyos did not participate in the battle and then appeared.

“… Goddess?”

When moving from dimension to dimension, at that time it was impossible to properly recognize the form of the goddess, but now the goddess had the appearance of a perfect goddess.

There is a saying that humans were made in the image of God, and she took on a very beautiful shape.

“I am happy to finally be able to meet you in full form. Thanks to that, I was able to stop him. Maybe forever.”

What are you talking about, that incompetent b*tch.

I couldn’t even get a single gift properly, so I created this division, and then I came up with a way to stop it.

I don’t know where she’s been and what she’s been doing now that she’s appeared, but I’ve been waiting for her.

I don’t know what hers was, but she seemed to have a way to win.

“… I still have disgusting thoughts. Maya.”

“Could that be you? A disgusting bug-like existence that persists even after killing it.”

“… You are the one who put that standard on me. Maya.”

The goddess and the demon king showed their teeth and talked as if they already knew each other.

The demon king is a being who is resurrected in the demon realm even if he dies in the middle world.

And since the War of the Heavenly Demon has been going on for tens of thousands of years on this continent, there must be no history between the Demon King and the Goddess.

“It’s the truth. Perhaps even if I kill you this time, I will resurrect like a tenacious in that filthy land.”

“… That would be no different than you.”

“However, I am not like anyone who cannot admit defeat and endlessly try to destroy the order.”

“That order cannot be said to be correct either. I just believe so.”

“Looks like that bullsh*t is about to end.”

“I see. I’m looking forward to it because I think it will be a little different this time. I feel like I can finally see those wings break.”

“That will never happen. No, maybe today is the last time you will never set foot on this land again in your lifetime.”

“I couldn’t have done that. Ten thousand years at most. Of course, this time, Menya, you will play the part.”

Keying-

“… I said it wouldn’t happen.”

Endless War.

As if to put an end to this war that takes place every 10,000 years, the goddess looked down at the demon king and said.

And when she spread her wings, the surrounding Elyos began to follow the shape, and the huge divine power penetrated mana and magic and began to take its place.

“Ugh… what is this?”

The only problem was that the spell cast with that holy power had an effect on me as well.

I don’t know if it was a mistake by the goddess or if it was like this, but what’s certain is that it felt dangerous.

“I am grateful to you. Warrior. No, thank you for making yourself a hero even though you are not.”

“What is that, what nonsense.”

“Did you try to seal me by sacrificing the history of that alien warrior? I thought it was strange that I was given only the history of a hero without a gift, but there was such an ulterior motive.”

“I didn’t mean to do this from the beginning. But there has never been a better opportunity like this one.”

“After all, it is not us who are disgusting. I think he admits it himself.”

“Wait. What is this… “

My body gradually loses strength.

It was as if the meaning of existence itself, in my thoughts, was disappearing.

The demon king and the goddess continued a conversation whose meaning was unknown, and the divine power began to occupy more and more space.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t drop you a gift. However, the hero’s name was definitely given. That way, your history would somehow work to protect this middle-earth.”

“So… “

The hero’s name and history are included in me.

In other words, the word of the goddess meant that, because of some probability, I was destined to save this continent no matter what I did.

I don’t know if that makes sense, but the fact that I’m back in this f*cking world proves it.

“And thanks to you being away from Middle-earth for 8 years, the level of chaos that exploded at once has risen to an unbelievable level. Thanks to that, we can also exert more influence on the middle world. Of course, that is nothing compared to the power of a hero who is not affected by chaos, but,”

“What kind of dog is that… betrayal… Is it a betrayal?”

“Let’s call it a cause. Anyway, thanks to the increased chaos level, a lot of things became possible. For example, using the history of the hero I gave you to seal the demon king in the demon realm forever.”

“What… ?”

By making me a sacrifice, I will seal the demon king forever.

Then, the war that takes place every 10,000 years cannot happen because there is no demon king.

For that reason, the goddess was saying that she would betray me now.

No, it’s not even a betrayal. It was just that he would abandon me. As if it was meant to be in the first place.

“f*ck… venomous… “

“Did you know now, hero? Who is truly disgusting?”

“Is it okay for you to stand there so stupidly? They say he will be sealed forever!”

“… I have no choice but to gamble. I’m seeing an opportunity. Of course, there is a high probability of failure.”

“Then why the hell are you so indifferent… !”

This way and that way, there was no normality.

However, the certainty is that the probability of me returning alive is extremely low.

The barrage spread by that goddamn goddess continued to strangle me.
