I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

There’s more on the western front (6)

“Your Excellency, King Andhra has gathered his troops and locked himself in Lamport.”

“Lampportra…”

Even Count Manstein had heard of Fort Lamport. The strongest and last fortress of Andra Kingdom.

In any country with a certain amount of history, there was bound to be a place that assumed the time when the country stood at the crossroads of life and death.

Compared to Lamport Fort, Haute Vien Fort was just a sandcastle level.

“What can I do?”

Count Manstein pondered for a moment at the staff member’s question.

It was not easy to break through a hastily constructed fortress, but should we take an offensive against the Lamport Fortress, which is a fairly powerful axis even by Empire standards?

“I’m going to Lamport.”

The worry was short, and the choice was quick.

“Wouldn’t it be better to occupy other territories first?”

The staff member looked at Count Manstein with puzzled eyes.

“no. Not required. If we capture only Lamport, the other territories will naturally fall into our hands.”

Count Manstein’s gaze naturally turned to Carol right next to him.

In fact, there was only one reason for deciding to advance to Fort Lamport.

Carol’s presence.

No matter how strong the fortress was in front of them, it was certain that Carol would just break through. Even if the Andhra Kingdom army received a report about Carol, they would probably treat it as a rumor.

It was clear that he would not have believed it if he had not seen it himself.

To that extent, Carol’s force was at a level that made no sense.

“All right.”

The staff member’s gaze also turned to Carol and nodded.

* * *

If you go all the way into the gorge along the ominously dark and narrow road, you will see a beautiful castle with white walls spreading widely in a wide hilly area where warm light shines.

In the past, the Kingdom of Andra was famous for its heterogeneity, and it was an elegant and powerful fortress created by mobilizing all the technical skills of Dwarves, Elves, and humans in the heavenly terrain that was good for defense.

That was Fort Lamport.

Since it was assumed that the country would evacuate in case of difficulties, of course there was also a detached palace where the king stayed, and it was at the level of a decent city in terms of scale.

It was the main culprit in deteriorating the royal family’s finances, as a huge budget was spent just for maintenance.

‘It’s fortunate.’

King Gustav VII looked down from the high floor of the villa and thanked the kings for not sparing their budget to repair Fort Lamport.

It will be two or three weeks until the Yeongji Army is summoned from all over the world.

If they could hold out for that period, the Andhra Kingdom army had a chance of winning. In any case, the current imperial army led by Count Manstein wasn’t that great in terms of the entire western side.

supply was sufficient. As if receiving a blessing from heaven, there was also an ample source of water inside Lamport Fortress.

thump- thump-

I started to hear a slight vibration from this distance.

From the inside of the ravine, which opened like the jaws of hell, I could see the imperial army rushing in line like a snake wriggling.

“Your Highness, the Imperial Army is coming.”

“watching. Prepare for battle.”

Because he still couldn’t figure out what the hidden weapon of the imperial army was, Gustav VII had a moment of anxiety in his heart.

He calmed down by looking at the pure white walls of the Dwarves.

‘Lampport is different from Haute Vienne.’

* * *

“Awesome. I never thought there would be a place like that in Andhra Kingdom.”

Count Manstein admired the panoramic view of Fort Lamport. The tall and long walls of the castle glowed softly, and it was clear that they were protected by some kind of magic.

Looking at Lamport Fortress, Carol was also slightly impressed. That scale was hard to see even in the Empire.

The castle built in the canyon basin was like a painting, so it was regrettable even from Carol’s point of view to destroy it.

It was like destroying a work of art.

“What should I do this time?”

Count Manstein looked at Carol and asked cautiously.

“I will break down the walls.”

“That, yes. You mean the wall.”

I wasn’t a wizard, so I didn’t know how to break down that hard and lofty castle wall.

It seemed possible if it was Carol.

As the imperial army approached, a transparent shield was generated from the rampart fortress, covering the entire upper part of the fortress without any gaps.

“No matter how much money you put on, a fortress-level shield…”

By this point, even Count Manstein was bewildered.

“It’s amazing.”

“Did you do anything strange?”

“Yes, I’ve never seen a shield of that size before.”

Not long after entering the hills, the Imperial forces reached the vicinity facing Lamport Fort.

“Imperial Army, Count Manstein! If you surrender, I promise to treat you according to your status!”

Count Manstein shouted loudly at Fort Lamport.

Of course, I never thought that my opponent would surrender. The opponent is the monarch of the country no matter what. It’s just the bare minimum courtesy of an aristocrat.

Pak-

A light magic attack from Lamport Fortress landed near the Imperials.

“It’s an obvious refusal.”

“Can I try some experiments?”

Carol looked at Count Manstein and asked.

“Of course. Then, can the imperial army wait for now?”

“yes.”

Seeing Count Manstein nod, Carol instantly floated dozens of mighty swords into the air.

“That’s amazing…”

Count Manstein opened his mouth and admired the jet-black steel sword.

bang-!

Following Carol’s gesture, the mighty sword rushed into the fortress in an instant and collided with the blue shield and the castle wall.

“…no scratches.”

also.

Even Carol felt it was not a fortress that could be pierced with a few strong swords. The castle wall has no flaws, and in the case of the shield, it was pierced, but the hole was quickly refilled and restored.

After Carol got off the horse, she slowly stepped forward.

In the meantime, there was something I felt while dealing with holy power and demonic energy. At this opportunity, a perfect environment for experimentation was created.

It was a bit lacking in Black Plasma, but it was regrettable.

However, the situation was not burdensome enough to summon Black Thunder.

According to the Moorim method, the sacred power could be seen as a divine spirit.

Shingi and Magi were the energy of opposites.

like yin and yang. Many martial arts emphasize the harmony of yin and yang.

However, those with an innate sense for manipulating energy used to create or learn and use martial arts that produced enormous destructive power by colliding yin and yang.

‘Shinki and demons are similar.’

It was almost the same for Carol. When the divine spirit and the demonic spirit, which can be said to be the origins of this world, were forcibly collided using will, an enormous destructive force was generated.

However, it was difficult to control it artificially, and if a collision occurred in the body or nearby, even Carol herself would be in danger, so rather than taking such an adventure.

Until now, it had been safely converted into the energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art and used.

To be precise, it was close to greedily absorbing all the energy, like a golden bird eating a dragon.

What if it was possible to collide the energy of Shinma with each other? When the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art was added to it, it was unknown even from Carol’s point of view what kind of destructive power would occur.

‘Just right.’

In that respect, that fortress was perfect for the test.

Black did not pull out.

There was no way that a mass-produced steel sword like this, not even Black Lightning, could withstand what Carol wanted to do.

Carol spread her palms wide and faced each other with her palms facing inward.

The energy of the divine horse dwelled in each of the hands gathered in front of the chest, and it began to rotate rapidly.

It was not easy even for Carol, who was born with a natural talent for manipulating ki, to collide these different types of air power.

If they are slightly out of sync, they will cancel each other out rather than collide with each other.

It was essential to use detailed intentions.

Watching the energy of the divine demon rising like a cloud, Carol slowly raised the energy of the divine demon.

If this is also left in its natural state, the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art will consume all energy.

With a strong will that reached the end of the demon, the energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art was forcibly applied to both hands.

merged into one

A ball of white, black, and red light mixed with each other formed between Carol’s palms, spinning at a frighteningly fast speed.

Enormous energy escaped from her body and lodged in the orb, enough to make Carol feel exhausted for a moment. I thought it wouldn’t be easy, but it wasn’t an ordinary thing to control the energy of the conflict to collide.

Slowly, Carol turned her right palm up and lifted the bead.

Due to the enormous energy, all kinds of energy constantly flashed inside the marble, like a beam of light colliding in a cloud.

滅天雷霆罡

While giving the newly invented martial arts a name that came to mind, Carol lightly put her will on it and fired the marble toward the fortress.

“What the hell did you do…”

Count Manstein asked Carol with a puzzled look.

Even Count Manstein felt that a tremendous energy was swirling around Carol, so that it was difficult to approach for a moment.

It just felt strange that the result was that small marble.

Brilliant marbles rushed into the fortress, forming a swirling air current.

aaa-!

A blinding light occurred, followed by a roaring sound resounding with earthquake-level vibration.

“Mi… crazy…”

A circular lightning storm swept around the area where the ball touched, leaving only a huge pit.

The imperial army, as well as the Andhra kingdom army, lost their words at the unrealistic appearance.

The splendid Lamport Fortress.

It disappeared leaving only a small part. Only a part of the pure white wall remained, and the blue shield covering the entire fortress was blown away without a trace.

Even that was a shame because Carol had guessed the location of the villa and missed it, so it was obvious that the entire fortress would have disappeared along with the palace if it had been shot right in the middle of the fortress.

Silence fell over the vast basin.

“…”

It was the same for Carol.

When I tested it in advance by reducing the energy, I expected it to be somewhat powerful.

This… was a power far beyond expectations.

A collision between Shingi and Demonic energy that took place under the energy of the Heavenly Demon God.

“I didn’t expect it to be this powerful.”

Carol slightly frowned and said to Count Manstein,

“Is that so?”

“…I’ll leave the work behind.”

“Of course! All troops, advance! Take over the fortress immediately!”

Count Manstein came to his senses and gave orders quickly.

After looking at the entire view of the destroyed fortress, Carol turned around with a bitter expression.

Although he created a new powerful weapon.

I had no intention of committing such a massacre.

In the land resounding with shouts, Carol felt the silence alone.

‘End the war as soon as possible.’

All I had to think about now was that.

* * *

Compared to the fierce southwest, the northwestern kingdoms were still somewhat peaceful.

Of course, as long as the center was pierced and the situation in the south became precarious every minute, there was a high possibility that the kingdoms in the northwestern part of the Empire would end up in trouble.

Inside the grand palace full of gold ornaments.

“Your Highness, the Federation of Calvados has fallen into the hands of the Empire.”

The black-haired man delivered serious news, but said with a fishy smile without any tension.

“is it….”

Gottlieb III, the king of the kingdom of Gotland, muttered weakly with his eyes blurred.

“Can I perform the ceremony?”

“Can not be done….”

Gottlieb III answered with a tremble.

“Tsk, your will is stronger than you think, Your Highness.”

widely.

Suddenly, a man in black appeared out of nowhere and whispered to the black-haired man.

“Your Highness, the Kingdom of Andhra has also fallen into the hands of the enemy. It is said that the king was captured and the fief was set on fire. Now it will be our turn.”

“Keugh…!”

Gottlieb III grabbed his head and groaned. The despair in his hazy eyes grew thicker and thicker.

“The power of the Empire is mighty. If we continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before Gotland falls into the hands of the Empire.”

“Stop… stop!”

Seeing Gottlieb III screaming helplessly, the black-haired man continued.

“Your Highness, why are you refusing? Do you really not know what will happen if we continue like this?”

“Keugh…!”

“I will ask you again. Can I perform the ceremony? All you have to do is say one word. Then everything will be comfortable.”

Gottlieb III, who had been staring blankly at the black-haired man who whispered in a cunning voice like a snake, finally opened his mouth slowly.

“Activation… permission… permission…”

Instantly, a tremendous wave of magical energy began to arise around Gottlieb III.

“Ha ha ha ha! Finally!”

The man laughed as if the war was about to leave.

If the last bastion of Andra Kingdom was Lamport Fortress.

Gotland was the royal capital itself.

The magic circle on the royal road was activated according to the king’s order, and the great magic that instantly cut off the world and the royal capital occurred.

A transfer that was possible because it was a royal road built on the legacy left by the dragon.

And the black-haired man, the demon baron Mkar, has been preparing for this day for a long time.

First of all, the huge magic circle under the royal road was transformed step by step.

It was originally an impossible level of work, but in a way that only demons could do, offering enormous sacrifices, little by little.

I succeeded in turning it up to the level I wanted, but there was the biggest problem.

A contract engraved in the blood of the royal family of Gotland. As long as the dragon’s will was imbued, it could not be changed no matter what.

That’s why he slowly destroyed Gottlieb III. At first, there were quite a few obstacles, so it was not easy even for the Asmodian baron Mkar.

Gottlieb III was also a strong northern warrior.

If the imperial army had not invaded at the right time, it would have been close to impossible to break Gottlieb III’s will.

“I should thank the Empire.”

The enormous flow of magical power that spread out around Gottlieb III soon led to the activation of a huge magic circle that covered the entire capital.

The magic circle that was supposed to protect the royal capital was reversed and transformed into a sacrificial magic circle that swallowed the royal capital.

In an instant, all humans in the royal capital turned into a handful of blood, and a mighty being tearing the world apart descended on the place where Gottlieb III, who was the center of the magic circle, had been.

“Oh oh…!”

A halo that shines blindingly brilliantly.

Looking at the angelic beauty of the devil, Mkar lowered his head and fell flat on the floor.

“Hmm, it’s been a while. Mkar.”

The woman licked her lips and shook her hand.

It wasn’t long after the imperial army occupied Andhra Kingdom.

Demon Duke Asmodeus descended on the royal capital of the Kingdom of Gotland.
