A Veteran of the Hero Academy

“rain… Cowardly human bastards!! Are you guys still warriors?!”

“It’s very noisy. Andrea?”

“… It stings a little.”

“under… Stop it!! Get off! human!! aah!!!”

Andrea gently stroked the devil’s cheek, which had already become half-corpse and was tied to a chair.

At first glance, it was a saint who healed the wounds of a wounded demon, but the demon’s reaction was completely different.

As a bright light emanated from Andrea’s pale, soft hands, the demon’s face that touched it burned and black ashes flew.

“… aah!! aah!!!”

“Hmm… The devil has a pretty heavy mouth.”

“… I feel a little like that.”

“I eat my heart out. We are here to protect the continent. This is not the time to admit it. Even he is a devil.”

“Yes… know… I know… It looks a little like that… .”

The demon flashed a shriek, exhausted just by hearing it, but Andrea just smiled gracefully and continued to emit light.

The inside of the tent was filled with the smell of sulfur and the smell of cooking meat.

There were named men in the tent, and as they watched the devil’s flesh burn and the ashes flew, they each made various expressions.

Some glared at the devil with grudge-filled eyes, while others caressed their trembling hands with tense faces.

And I.

‘… It’s dinner time.’

The smell of cooked meat slowly made me hungry.

When all the hides on the demon’s face disappeared and the dark skin inside was revealed, Andrea let go.

The demon, whose limbs were twisted and the skin of his face burned, trembled as he looked at Andrea with eyes terrified.

“It was hard – Andrea. ruler… So, will the story work now?”

“… Shut it off.”

I sat down in front of the devil, but the devil only trembled and showed no reaction.

‘… Are those tears?’

A drop of blood flowed from the hole that was roughly grasped by the devil’s eye.

“ruler! Look here! So… Well… The fifth of the Four Heavenly Kings?”

After clapping a few times, the devil’s face turned towards me.

“why… why… Are you doing such a terrible thing? !! What the hell did I do wrong?!”

“If I say useless things, will you call back Andrea?”

“that… Don’t do that! A female human who is worse than that Demon King, please… I’ll answer any questions you have! please!! Only that vicious person… !”

Even though he only said Andrea’s name, he was filled with emotions at the appearance of the demon begging while shaking his body.

‘… The devil is evil to the saint.’

There seemed to be something wrong with Andrea’s smiling face while wiping her hands on a white cloth and the trembling demon.

“Ouch… Evil humans… turn it off… .”

“Don’t become a demon and pretend to be weak. After all, we’re here to shut down the Demon King’s Castle. I see?”

“do… Why the hell?! We just… turn it off… .”

“This is it again. Andrea?”

“… Yeah? Aiden?:”

“My… please!! I’ll tell you everything!! There’s something I’m curious about, so you’ve captured me! I’ll tell you everything!! Get that girl out!! please!!”

As he nodded, the demon swallowed his inner weeping and crouched down.

It’s been a long time since the wings on the back of the devil were torn off because the devil’s wings were good for energy. Lee Ji-soo, who brought up the story first, was a little reluctant to disappear with the large part of the wing.

“… name?”

“Turn it off… The fifth of the Four Heavenly Kings… Marbas.”

The demon who introduced herself to Marbasra, trembling with fear and pain, answered with difficulty.

“okay. Marbas is a cool name.”

“Turn it off… Shut up!! To your little human… thank you! You know what I’ve been thinking about!! You have a very good eye!”

Even though I was angry, I looked at Andrea and saw the sudden change of person, and I realized what kind of guy he was.

I asked the guy who looked up at me with a sullen smile what he was most curious about.

“But it’s the fourth of the Four Heavenly Kings… ? Aren’t the Four Heavenly Kings originally four?”

“that… That’s the story. Originally that… Respect?”

“Hero of mankind! Hope of the Continent! This is Aiden.”

“this… Your name is very creepy. Anyway! As Aiden said, the hero of mankind, the hope of the continent, there were originally four Four Heavenly Kings.”

“Just call me Aiden.”

“Yep! Originally there were four… Most demons fight and a generational change has to happen… The Demon Lord did not come out of the Demon King’s Castle in Middle-earth… You don’t even conquer the world… Naturally, the battle diminishes… The devil is aging.”

He cleared his neck for a moment, probably because he had a sore throat, and glanced at me.

‘The devil is aging… ? What the f*ck is this.’

Beckoning, he opened his mouth again.

“Young demons keep being born… Wouldn’t the Four Heavenly Kings not die and leave their place there? Even the old men were too burdensome to fight for rank due to their long years of solidarity. It is said that it takes place under the observation of the Four Heavenly Kings, but who will know if a mouse or a bird dies without knowing it?”

Marbas continued to explain in a lively manner, whether he was quite fluent with words.

His words were quite interesting, and the Named who had gathered around him were concentrating while holding their breath.

‘… Well, I’ll go somewhere to hear the story of hell.’

“So our young demons formed a coalition. No matter how many titles the Four Heavenly Kings hold… More than born as a devil! Shouldn’t you go up to the end and challenge the Demon King?! That’s the devil’s way! The old men are united and do not get out of the way, so there is no answer! So hell was quarreled with young blood and old blood, and the compromise was to add three places to the Four Heavenly Kings. I got my fifth seat as president of the Young Demons Association. That is why the Four Heavenly Kings became seven.”

The guy, who had been growing up, had an arrogant expression on his face, like a hero who had accomplished something really great when he got to the last neighbourhood.

“… What will happen when you become the Four Heavenly Kings?”

no, … They’re seven, aren’t they the Four Heavenly Kings in the first place?

“Yes? no! It’s nice though. Of the tens of thousands of demons, I am the fifth strongest! Because this is how it feels. By the way, in Hell, I was also selected as the number 1 devil that young people want to resemble the most this year. haha.”

The guy, who quickly gained momentum, introduced himself with a proud face.

‘I… crab hell? The guys in the capital at that time… ?’

[article… It seems to have changed a bit. I wasn’t like that… Everyone was just trying to eat humans somehow… Years… .]

“As soon as I became the fifth of the Four Heavenly Kings, I created more positions. You have to have stairs to have the will to go up. Ha ha ha.”

With his skin peeled off and dripping black blood, the smiling face resembled that of an imperial nobleman.

‘… Can I leave these bastards alone?’

[Hmmm… I don’t know anything else, but the Demon Lord, that woman is dangerous.]

It’s a subordinate like that, but it can be dangerous. f*ck off.

“Then why were you hiding here alone?”

He pressed his temples against his throbbing head and asked the next question.

“… Because of that dog-like bureaucracy!! Rotten upper heads!! Those who fall into a sense of safety and play cards even with a knife in their throat!!”

“coffin… bureaucracy?”

“The Demon Lord has no intention of conquering the world! Also, does it make sense that the other Four Heavenly Kings, who have been in peace for a long time, do not move at all even when humans are approaching?! However! The Devil I Want to Be Like This Year No. 1! I can’t see that Marbas running on his feet like that! I’m different from those rotten from the root!! I am the kind of devil who sees a small spark and does not pass it by!”

The figure of the guy who explained with a lot of enthusiasm was similar to the aristocrat I saw in the academy student council president election.

“So you went into Hermes’ ship and infiltrated?”

“… Isn’t that Herme? Anyway! It’s a brilliant implementation of an authentic cliché! A demon in a human stomach! The devil who rips the ship out! of course… Silver bullets weren’t in the plan… . If it wasn’t for that quick-witted and clever woman… Shut it-“

“If not?”

“I could have appeared a little better! A demon lurking in thousands of forces!! If it had been successful, it would have been written down in the history books of the devil!!”

Seeing the guy bursting out in anger, I organized my thoughts.

‘So, there are six more screwed-up bastards under the Demon King? It’s a little big.’

Now, he had a pathetic appearance similar to that of a nobleman blinded to success, but the high rank he felt earlier was real.

If Lee Ji-soo hadn’t put a silver bullet in Hermes’ asshole, the damage would have been quite large.

“… If it is recorded in the history books of the devil, it will be the winner of the first place in the devil you want to resemble next year!!”

“Then go ahead and tell me about the rest of them.”

“… Are you telling me to betray the demon camp now?”

The devil’s face hardened at my question, and I felt the same level as before.

He seemed quite angry to see black flames splattered slightly from the horns of the guy uprooted, and the black blood flowing backwards as the skin on his face was peeled off… .

“Andrea?”

“… Good profit!! I think the whistleblower sounds better than betrayal! Hehe… . Rotten demons!”

When I called for Andrea, the guy who was carrying a lot of weight quickly released his expression and drew a sign.

“oh! ta ta ta! This is not possible!”

The guy who drew the sign shrugged in surprise when sparks went off his hand.

‘… It’s a f*cking world.’

How could such a person have such a level, I could not understand at all.

“First of all, the first of the Four Heavenly Kings is a frivolous old woman named Bael, who is in charge of lust, but her weakness is… .”

He moved his mouth quickly with a mean smile befitting a real devil.

***

“… no see. And they’re all drunk in their own class, so they’ll all be separate… Don’t worry. … Hehe. ah! Were the lower demons sent first? That’s a manual from a long time ago. If you fight with all your strength from the start, you won’t get a good picture. Shouldn’t it have a crunchy taste? Kind of stupid, but that’s the reason. Lesser demons also need to change their water periodically.”

Finally, after a lengthy explanation of all the Four Heavenly Kings, the guy crouched and bowed his head.

f*cking shit, I expected that there would be some kind of conspiracy to push in the thousands of demons first, but it turned out to be nothing.

“… So did you say everything?”

“yes! What I know is the hero of the continent! Humanity’s Hope! I told Aiden-sama everything!! Although it is a high-ranking demon who ascended to the throne of the Four Heavenly Kings in the past! Looking forward to the future! I will never cross Middle-earth and live steadily in Hell!!”

He banged his head on the ground several times to make a thump sound.

Black blood spurted from his forehead and the flaked skin was crushed, but he clenched his teeth even more and smashed his head.

‘… You seem to want to live.’

At his desperate behavior, I hurriedly reached out my hand and grabbed him by the shoulder.

“sign… Humanity’s hope! You have mercy on a demon like me… Ah, what a wide magnanimity… .”

“Not the hope of mankind… He is the hero of mankind.”

The head of the man who had lost his body rolled and rolled on the ground.

‘If you hit your head and die, you don’t get points.’

Avoiding the black blood pouring out like a fountain, he took a step back and recalled the information he had obtained from him.

‘… There are a total of seven Four Heavenly Kings. Except for them, there are general-level demons, but we are ahead in the total number of troops.’

“female… He’s also Aiden’s comrade!! Cold-blooded without blood or tears!!”

Lee Ji-soo, who put a bullet in his asshole just because he was gay, saw me covered in black blood and clapped.

‘… Apostle!! No points received!! You’re pretending to be dead!! hurry!! Let’s explode!!’

When he turned his head, he met his rolling eyes, and his eyes fluttered slightly.

“all… You said it all!! You demonic bastard!! Evil guy! Cursed man! Fall to Hell!”

Pujik-

It sounded like a tomato popping, and the guy’s face exploded.

“It’s surprisingly boring. When I catch a demon, I have to do a straight check kill.”

The tent was full of people, but no one answered me.

After a while, people started moving in a hurry. They reported the information they had obtained from the devil to the Alliance and prepared a new operation.

Since such complicated work was not my specialty, I got up and headed for my newly assigned tent.

I had to get a new ration because that demon broke the tent I was very friendly with.

Because the new tent was bigger and more comfortable than the previous one, the old one was quickly forgotten from memory.

As I opened the tent and entered, I saw someone with their skirts rolled up and lying on their desks.

Seeing something familiar, I first checked to see if there was anything ugly on that white lower body, but fortunately, there was nothing but a pinkish v*gina.

‘… Everyone must be busy, but who?’

The woman, who was lying face down on my face, turned her head, and only then did I realize who she was.

“… I have come to martyrdom.”

The puppy nun said cautiously, biting her lip with a reddened face.

As if he was prepared for the pain to come, sadistic feelings filled him.

‘… Kiana was supposed to come, but she’ll probably be busy today.’

I nodded and loosened the belt around my waist.

“Should I raise my skirt and lift my butt?”

“… Neet.”

… hey

‘What I learned from Hyejin is useful in many ways.’

Looking at Adela’s ass as if she had never seen the sun, I grabbed her belt.

“Today’s martyrdom will be more difficult than yesterday. Are you okay?”

“will do… You can… !”

Adela answered with a voice full of vigor, and clenched her buttocks.

I smiled contentedly at him and swung my belt roughly.

damn!

“Sun God, please look down upon us and bring blessings in the future… ha ha ha! lend me your strength… .”

Adela, who was memorizing a prayer, sprinkled water.

Also, martyrdom was more fun and stimulating than I expected.

‘hey! your saint is looking for you Hell Hell Hell! Sado! Try adding potatoes too. The sun god is curious how many! Kyahahaha!’

***

“… Enter.”

Everyone nodded at Kiana’s cold voice.

Now, there were only one-third of the troops left, but now that they have arrived, their original duty has been fulfilled. The fear engraved on their faces seemed to be indelible.

“Take care of yourselves.”

“I see! Comrade Cheon-Oh is nothing like my weapon! The weapon is my wife! I will take care of you like a wife!”

Holding Cheon-oh in his arms, he nodded to Lee Ji-soo, who answered exaggeratedly, and moved slowly.

There were no more obstacles on the way to the Demon King’s Castle because they had all the shit done outside.

‘… But why is it so dark inside?’

The large rotten wooden door of the Demon Castle opened, but it was so dark inside that I could not see even an inch ahead.

“Turn on the light.”

““Turn on the light!””

The soldiers chanted Kiana’s words and turned on the lights, and soon the dark inside of the Demon King was clearly visible.

The Demon King Castle was so old that it was impossible to predict when it was built, so it was easy enough that it did not collapse. From the faint feeling of mana, it seemed to be maintained by magic.

Kiana, who was in the front, moved into the Demon Castle without hesitation, and I, who was right behind, followed me.

‘… what? This familiar dizziness?’

As soon as I entered the inside of the Demon Castle, I felt a sense of dizziness that I had felt somewhere, and my eyes became blurred.

‘This f*cking devil bastard… !’

It was said that the devil had confessed all the truth, but the trap didn’t seem to tell. My hands trembled at the shock of being betrayed by the devil I trusted.

“It’s a broken motherf*cker… .”

As she tried to warn behind her with a strange sense of dizziness, her surroundings suddenly changed.

It was then that I realized that the feeling of drowsiness was the same as I had felt before when I climbed the portal in the academy.

When I closed and opened my eyes, I was standing in the middle of a large hall.

However, I felt something terrible from behind.

The hairs all over my body stood erect at the terrifyingly deep and dark presence. Despair filled me with the presence of being summoned right in front of the Demon King.

‘… Kiana! Vicky?! Andrea! f*ck! Why is there no one!’

I hurriedly looked for someone else, but the only energy I could feel here was me and that monster.

“… motherf*cker. A f*cking world.”

He spit out cursing at the thought that a problem had always occurred and gripped the handle of the sword. Ironically, the swear words calmed the tension down a bit.

– … Calm down boy! Fighting with excitement is not an opponent to win!!

I know shit.

Even if I calm down, how am I alone with this guy who exudes such a huge presence… .

The cold touch of the sword’s handle brought his mind back a little, and he hurriedly pulled out his sword and forced his heavy body to turn around as if he had drunk water.

However, the appearance of the back was different from what I expected.

“Coo… wooul… .”

A fat man, large enough to fill a third of the hall, was sleeping spread out on a wide bed. With every breath he took, it grew in size and terrifying worms spewed out and re-entered.

Obviously, even now, just by being next to him, he exuded a huge and dark presence that made his hands tremble in fear, but he was too defenseless.

“… what? Who is this f*cking pig?”

Without thinking, I quickly moved my trembling hand and cut off the guy’s head.

There could be another trap, but he didn’t hesitate because he had a premonition that if he didn’t kill him now, he wouldn’t be able to win.

In order to cut off the guy’s large neck at once, he quickly raised all his divine power and energy and swung it around with a sharp sword.

“… Kui!”

The decapitated guy died with a strange gasping sound. Strange bugs and little demons spewed out of his massive flesh, and I hurriedly backed away.

The presence felt from those little demons and bugs was also unusual.

‘Wow… ! Sado!! Points are great!! this… How much is this all!! The best! best! Sado is the best!! hey!! How much is that yacht?!”

As his presence disappeared, I was finally able to breathe comfortably.

… Did I catch the Four Heavenly Kings now?

[…] ?]
