I Became the Demon Grand Duke in the Academy - Chapter 167



167 – Summoner Academia Gaiden (Gregory Jones) Chapter 4 – 3

“… … after.”

After finishing using the Black Swamp, Gregory sighed and stood up.

“Are you done?”

“Okay, let’s do that for today.”

“You worked hard! Lord!”

Because it was a black swamp that cost an enormous amount of mana, Gregory stood up without being able to maintain the activation of the skill for even 20 minutes.

Gregory consumed more mana than usual to keep them from disappearing by completely summoning thousands of them because other demons could be relieved if the bugs completely disappeared.

He took out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

“From now on, it will be a battle of who will hold out better.”

“Then it will be our victory. There are no people who have withstood Gregory-sama’s punishment until now.”

In the history of the underworld, numerous demons have attempted to secretly obtain underground resources. However, what fell upon them was not underground resources, but innumerable black waves.

Because of that level of punishment, no one had ever dared to develop underground.

“I don’t know. Isn’t the opponent Baal?”

“Aren’t you a kid drunk with power? Soon, he too will kneel before Gregory-sama’s overwhelming power!”

Gregory sighed at the sight of Hercules clenching his fists and shouting confidently.

After all, if you lose your strength, there is nothing left. He wanted to say that, but knowing how tender-hearted the being in front of him was, Gregory swallowed the words and nodded.

“Thank you. Hercules.”

Gregory, who turned around and put the curtain aside, looked at the situation outside.

“The situation outside seems to have calmed down, so I can go out. Shall we go out together?”

“The way Gregory goes is my way!”

Gregory smiled at Hercules’ answer, which was exactly what he expected.

“Okay, let’s go get some fresh air.”

“Honorable name!”

When Gregory and Hercules, who had changed their bodies back to human form, went outside and went downstairs, they saw demons busily running around the lobby.

“I mean, make sure you check to see if even one has entered!”

“There is none this way!”

“Not even here!”

The lobby of the inn has become a mess even though it was once a black swamp. The scenery that unfolded when I went outside was no different.

“The food… … .”

“You damn slaves! Can’t you protect a single piece of food from those bugs?!”

Citizens who are angry at the disaster that took everything and citizens who are in despair.

In Bael, one of the most prosperous lands, only the cries of those who had lost everything could be heard.

“Hercules. Do you feel sympathy for them?”

Gregory, who was walking in front of Hercules, asked quietly. Hercules shook his head at this.

“They are demons too. The weak-willed, the weak-willed. Isn’t that the law of the Demon Realm?”

An answer that, if others hear it, would be considered the truth. However, Gregory shakes his head as if that wasn’t the answer he wanted.

“No, try to feel pity from now on.”

“… … yes?”

Hercules tilted his head as if it was an unexpected answer.

“Their fault was that they were residents of Bael, ruled by Baal. There is nothing wrong with them.”

“Ha, but. Don’t they despise and discriminate against insect demons like us!”

“The weak to the weak. Isn’t that what you just said?”

Hercules shuts up when the logic he has spoken comes out of Gregory’s mouth again.

“Don’t ask me anything else. Hercules. Then what should we do?”

“I don’t know about such difficult things.”

“It’s okay if the answer is wrong, so tell me what you think.”

“If you say so… … You can solve it by force.”

Only then did Gregory smile.

“Let’s keep talking.”

“We need to end this situation as soon as possible so that others do not suffer any more. And this alternative… … I guess I’ll have to do it myself.”

Finally, having heard the answer he was looking for, Gregory nodded.

The reason why he brought Hercules, not Sylvie or other demons. The reason why he used the Black Swamp more forcefully than usual, and asked questions so that he could think for himself while checking outside that he would not normally pay attention to.

It was because it was to help Hercules, a subordinate and colleague he cherished, grow a step further.

“today. Let’s settle it tonight.”

“… … Yes, lord!”

In the middle of the crowd, Hercules quietly bowed his head and once again felt the greatness of his master and wept hot tears.

* * *

Bael’s development area where Baal dug tunnels to develop underground.

The two men in black hoods in front of them were staring blankly at the guards guarding the development area.

“Can we start? Lord.”

“Let me show you what a true weakling is.”

“Honorable name!”

Pudeuk– Pudeuk–

The huge figure hidden in the black hood swelled and began to inflate the hood.

Before long, the hood was ripped open and a huge glossy black body appeared.

Hercules, who revealed his huge horns and huge body, lit his eyes while looking at the guards in front of him under the influence of Gregory’s [Skill: Fairy Tale].

“oooh… … !”

Hercules’ arm, pulling it back, expanded and cracked the upper. Dark red muscle fibers hidden beneath it.

Hercules, who pulled his arms back as if pulling a bowstring, let out a loud roar as he stretched his arms toward the enemies in front.

“Oh!”

At the same time, a huge wave hits the guards.

The guards were blown back by the overwhelming force. Hercules, who looked at the scene with satisfaction, entered the development area with heavy steps.

“Mmm!”

Traces of development spread before our eyes. At the sight of the tunnel that started with a small tunnel and was dug down, Hercules swallowed his saliva, spread his legs, and lowered his knees.

“Tsoooh… … .”

Hercules’ chest begins to expand as it sucks in the air around it.

“Gabunggunrimbo”

Hercules’ unique secret technique imitating the gait of a phoenix unfolds from his toes.

Bael’s axis shook with just one thunderstorm.

A huge sandstorm rises from the floor due to Hercules’ continued kicking, and the floor slowly begins to sink.

───! ───! ───! ───! ───!

When the tunnel dug underground collapsed and began to make a huge roar in the surroundings.

[You bastard bastard——–!!!]

The ground shook with a huge voice coming from the air, and a huge amount of dust rose.

“hmm! Are you here!”

“You damned muscle pig aaah——! What are you doing?!!!”

Hercules crossing his arms in an X shape and Baal sticking his legs into Hercules’ arms. Finally, it was the moment when the ruler of this land descended.

“Go!!! The underground is only his domain. I have come to punish you for forgetting that fact!”

“What is this bastard saying?! If you’re going to come, that bastard should have come, why are you f*cking f*cking!!!”

“I am his right hand! It’s only natural that I’m going!”

Whoa! Hercules raises his arm and launches Baal backward with a cheering sound.

Baal, who landed naturally while turning around in the air, brushed off his bare feet and glared at Hercules in front of him.

“Did you want to go behind that much? Are you a bug that doesn’t even belong to the left?”

“He didn’t climb to the left either! How could I, his servant, rise to the throne!”

thud!

Hercules stretches out his hand toward Bael while stepping on the advance.

“I don’t need a seat in name to take care of you!”

At the same time, Hercules’ body becomes a bullet and rushes toward Baal.

Jeon Jinmuuitak (前進無依託). His representative technique was shot towards Baal.

“A bored memory.”

bang!

With a light sound, a huge wind swept through Baal’s body.

Baal stretched out his foot toward Hercules with an expression of indifference.

At the tip of his pure white feet, Hercules’ charge was blocked.

“Did you really think you could take me down with this, huh? It’s ridiculous.”

“Aren’t you giving your feet a lot of strength for something like that!”

Kuduk! Kududeuk!

The sound of Baal’s feet blocking Hercules’ body.

Although Baal’s expression was very peaceful, her feet were trembling as if they were precarious.

“that! any! nothing! my! rush! can stop it! does not exist!”

The ground Hercules is stepping on is hollowed out.

“ooo!!”

Baal’s knee bends little by little.

“A strong idiot… … !”

phut! Baal backed away with a cheerful sound.

“Okay, if you want to die like that, I’ll do as you wish… … . Well, if you die, won’t that damn Gregory come out?”

Baal strikes his fists and shows his fangs.

Seeing this, Hercules hesitated and started to back away, then started running backwards.

“to?”

Baal panicked at Hercules’ sudden retreat.

“Now, wait. Are you really running away?”

thump thump thump!

Veins form on Baal’s forehead as he blankly watched Hercules, who had a huge mass, run away.

“dare… … ! I dare you… … ! Delude me eh eh eh!”

Baal starts running toward Hercules, who turned his back.

“I will kill you! I will really kill you!!!”

The chase between the heavy Hercules and the very light-looking Baal ended with Baal getting closer and closer——

“Reverse charge.”

“to?”

────────!!!!!

For the first time in his life, Baal was embarrassed by the same target twice in a row.
