chapter 22
22. I ran into it
In a deep mountain far, far away from the academy. A large cave located there.
This place, which was empty a few years ago, has now become the residence of the ‘revival army’.
“Finally, the time has come! The best time has come!”
“With this, it is time to rekindle our flames once again!”
The ‘revival’ they speak of does not mean the revival of a certain force or kingdom.
Only fireworks. A bigger, more brutal flame of war. I just want to make it happen.
If I could do that, I would dance with joy even if they became firewood for it!
“All four Demon Kings have left this place and headed towards the Empire. I entered the academy on my own. Now that this has happened, there is only one thing we have to do. By turning that place into a sea of fire, the hostility of humans, elves, and dwarves will once again burn and point their spears at us!!”
Some people wanted to kill the ‘four demon lords’ who killed other demon lords just because they wanted to prevent a war.
But by what means? How the hell are you supposed to kill the things that even the demon lords couldn’t handle?
First of all, killing those women will extinguish the flames of war rather than spark it.
In that case, let’s go in and attack the place where there are a lot of horses.
If you’re lucky enough to kill a lot of humans and burn down the academy, there’s only one reaction from the empire.
I will kick away the peace offered by the four abominable demon kings. It is clear that war will be called again.
No matter how much peace you like, even b*tches will have no choice but to fight if their lives are at stake. Then they too can get out of this fugitive life and fight that thrilling war again!
War! Never again war! Only war! I want the struggle of life full of blood and flesh!
“Anything is fine. Destroy the entire academy.”
“Kill at least one more person somehow. More cruel and more miserable! Humans, elves, dwarves! Even if you think of the name of the demon tribe, start a game and raise your sword!”
“No matter how much peace those four demon lords talk about, if they don’t accept it, that’s it!”
Finally, the servants left by the Four Heavenly Kings are busy watching out for the flames of war that will be inflicted on their territory or within the land of the demons. They can’t even imagine what they’re aiming for.
There is no better opportunity than this. After all, it’s about the boundaries of humans, so if you want to, you can tear it down.
Once the decision was made, the movements of the demons were truly unstoppable.
A few people who drew attention created an atmosphere that seemed to insist on a war while the demon king was away, and in the meantime, the selected elite crossed the border and secretly infiltrated beyond the empire.
On the way, it was difficult to suppress the desire to slaughter humans.
There are so many lives that would fall apart if I just stretched out my hand right now, and there were so many people who would scream.
It’s unfair. Why the hell did you take the war from us? Those demon lords, why? You guys are demons too. Doesn’t it have a soul that can never be freed from the fight?
Why are you taking the fight away from us when the method we used to say let’s not fight right now is another fight!
“Damn it! Human over there! Go elf! A dwarf!”
“Everyone, stay alert. The armistice and peace talks have already ended. Throwing some small fire here won’t make that big spark again.”
“Remember. You must work in the place where the four demon lords are. Only then will the arrows of the empire go back to those demon lords. Elves and dwarves would also jump on the bandwagon. Otherwise, the great war we want won’t come back!”
I want to fight. Want to go to war I want to feel the joy of life and death coming and going!
The demons endured and endured with one single thought, and finally succeeded in reaching the vicinity of the academy.
It’s pathetic. Just because the war is over, it becomes so lax. The end of the unknown is that one of the two must completely disappear from the world. It’s a level that’s worse than not even being vigilant because you’re drunk with words like a blackout and peace!
As expected, humans must be killed. All they’re good at is screaming and betraying my comrades with swords, but they still taste good, so that’s all good!
“Look there. Listen carefully. That is our goal, the academy. Kill everything out there today. And shout All of this is an order from the demon lords!”
“Let’s go! Because of us, our people will have more fights and more blood!”
Sha sha sha!―
It is an academy that has never allowed demons to invade even in the middle of a war.
Although guards were always deployed, the magic barrier played the most important role. It is designed so that any intrusion from the outside can be known at once.
By the way, that barrier doesn’t exist today. Not too long ago, someone shot up the sword of hell and broke it in two.
Imperial mages hastily started redesigning it, but it will take more time as it has been completely shattered.
It really happened by chance that the demons got into that gap.
One by one, the shadows jump into the academy. That number keeps growing.
Finally, let the last person touch the ground, and the final confirmation work begins.
“Top 1!”
“Power penetration complete!”
“Two pairs!”
“Power penetration complete!”
“Three trillion!”
“Power penetration complete!”
Everybody came in. Successful. If there are dozens of demons, burning this little thing is a piece of cake.
“Okay. From now on, it goes according to plan! Firstly….”
“Okay. From now on, I can do as I planned.”
A voice with a gentle laugh flying in from beyond the black darkness.
When will these things arrive, the black demon king who has been waiting impatiently. He was overjoyed at finally getting his new collection.

Whoop-
Pure white smoke spewing from the corners of the mouth. And a hip flask in your hand.
He smokes another cigarette and takes a long gulp of the whiskey slicking in the hip flask.
Nicotine and alcohol. How beautiful and wonderful is this? It’s definitely a gift from God to man. Admiring the fantastic compatibility, the saintess Sellaphy smiled.
‘Good. There’s no nagging anymore.’
How many times have I been told that I shouldn’t smoke or drink after being selected as a warrior?
He didn’t particularly hate the duty of fighting demons, but when he told him not to drink or smoke, saying that he should be an example to others, he sincerely wanted to get rid of that bastard’s hero or something.
Fighting is fighting, so why not drink and smoke? I heard that soldiers and officers do one or the other or both.
Can’t you because you’re a warrior? Where is the law! Don’t drink or smoke just because you’re a hero!
Then one day. A man who came to them tilted his head and said this.
“Alcohol and cigarettes? Isn’t it your freedom as long as it doesn’t interfere too much with you and your party?”
The man who took Sella Phi’s side, tilting his head as if he didn’t really understand.
The people around him were taken aback and tried to change his mind somehow.
“However, a hero must set an example for others….”
“The hero is not a person. Do it in moderation Moderately.”
“Oh, I see. Sir Lethe.”
It was only later that he realized that he was a war hero with a reputation. He found out that he was a senior who fought more fiercely and desperately before them.
Thanks to that, he was not greatly restrained from smoking or drinking. Of course, the nagging still remained, but no one touched Cellapy’s sign just because they noticed Lethe.
In that sense, Lethe could be said to be a benefactor to Sellafie. She tells her that her alcohol and cigarettes are like her soul and body.
I received help from Lethe in many other areas, but he doesn’t seem to know that very well, so let’s pass it on.
‘… By the way, what kind of fuss is this?’
Not far away, there are too many and heavy signs moving to be seen as students.
It is not an illusion. There is something too thick and intense mixed in it to look like that. This, this is like-
‘No way. Probably not.’
With a cigarette in her mouth, Sella Pee moved her steps to where she could feel the presence.
It’s quite a remote place even in the academy, a place where students rarely come and go. It was in such a position that her mysterious aura filled her, calling her.
Her suspicions became certain the closer she got. Yes, this is the feeling.
In this state, the muscles of the whole body are tightened and the mana is shaken. Enemy The enemy is in front.
Selafi clicked her tongue and hurriedly put out her cigarette. It’s still a long time, it’s a pity, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
“….”
I was troubled for a moment. Should I turn her around and tell Mikaela, Haniel, and Meta?
She is confident in her skills, but she has a lot of enemies, so don’t take her lightly. Her carelessness is the quickest way to her defeat, the easiest way to lose her life.
“Huh-“
But instead of turning her body around, Sellafi decided to go further ahead of her.
If we retreat now, there will be no one to stop the enemies in front of us. Anyway, when the commotion starts, everyone will notice something strange and come running right away. You just have to hold out until then.
She moved her steps cautiously, and finally reached the place ―
“… Uh?”
“Oh?”
Standing in front of countless demons, she faced the demon king with her black head just like herself.
