The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Chapter 82.2

They carefully advance into enemy territory.

“I see we have summer bugs flying into the fire.”

Laos appears in front of one of the units.

“Libest-sama one of the Heroes <Braves> has appeared!”

One of the <Shamans> immediately report in but there is no reply.

“Libest-sama? Libest-sama……!?”

There’s no answer no matter how many times they try to call.

<Liikus> appears to have been cut off.

“Haaa. You can’t use <Liikus>. You do get that right?” (Laos)

Laos fist is wrapped in flames giving off a holy glow.

Despite being underwater the flames are still burning.

“I’ll buy you time. Get back to the demon king castle!”

The <Cavalier> tries to pull his sword from its sheath but it won’t come out.

“Wha……?”

In that instant, Laos approaches close to the <Cavalier>

“Oraa!” (Laos)

“Shi—”

Laos fist connects with the <Cavaliers> stomach.

“Tch….!”

The <Healer> immediately uses Anti-magic Healing <Enshell> but as soon as the magic circle forms it disappears.

“………What the……..?”

“Did you finally notice? Your magic power is weakening.” (Laos)

Laos approaches the <Healer> who tries to get away but their legs are getting slower and slower.

“Not only your magic power but your physical abilities as well. You are now weaker than a human!” (Laos)

The <Healer> was wrapped in flames and the <Shaman> followed soon after.

“Haa. I don’t even need my holy sword in this fight.” (Laos)

Laos uses <Liikus>

“Heine, Ledoriano. I’m done over here.” (Laos)

“Same here.”

“They will be aware that somethings up now. I’m going to head straight to the demon kings castle and invade it.” (Laos)

Laos left the city and headed straight towards the castle.

“It’s strange……” (Menou)

Menou mutters while watching <Rimnet>

“If its a magic field that stagnates magic power and causes weakness then the heroes should be affected as well but they are fine and can use <Liikus> as well…… I know the difference in magic power is normally great but today it’s feeble at best……” (Menou)

Menou gets lost in thought.

“The magic power of Libests team is being sealed but there’s no sign that it’s coming from the heroes side………. If it’s not being cast on them directly then how because no matter how you look at it the range is just too wide otherwise…….” (Menou)

Menou makes a bitter look while mumbling to herself.

“Fumu. In other words, are you saying that the hero side is doing something wrong or cheating?” (Arnos)

“…….It’s suspicious but there’s no evidence…… It could also be that they are just really good……” (Menou)

Her expression says that she finds that last part hard to swallow.

“I have proof.” (Arnos)

“Eh….?”

“They are using holy water that been dissolved in the lake. It’s a kind of special magic tool which doesn’t have a form. If you use its power it gives magic to the humans but for the mazoku it’s poisonous.” (Arnos)

The gods created holy water to seal the mazoku.

2000 years ago there were only a few people that could use it but it seems its been successfully passed down.

Holy water is a high-grade magic ingredient.

Even for me, this is the first time I’ve ever seen it being used. It seems they’ve successfully devised a method to conceal the existence of the holy water.

“Holy water mixed in with normal water creates a magic formation.” (Arnos)

When I told her Menou stares at the lake with her demon eyes.

“……..I don’t understand……. How can you tell different kinds of water that have mixed together…..?” (Menou)

It will be hard to spot since the magic power is very well concealed.

“I’ll show you.” (Arnos)

I touch one of Menou’s eyes, draw a formation on it and pour my magic power into it strengthening her demon eyes.

“Eh…..? This is……..?”

“You can see magic power much better now. This is the world I see.” (Arnos)

This was only possible because Menou’s demon eyes were of a sufficiently high level to begin with. If they weren’t this would have destroyed her eyes.

“…..Incredible……. I can see magic power far more clearly than the materials themselves….” (Menou)

Menou gazes into the water projected by <Rimnet>. She should be able to clearly see the holy water forming a magic formation in the lake.

“This is……. a formula for a barrier system technique…..? I don’t understand its specific effects though….” (Menou)

“It draws out the power of the holy water, raises the humans magic power and seals the power of the mazoku. Holy water naturally flows into Lake Seimei. The hero side is supplied with unlimited magic power and the mazoku will endlessly have their power chipped away at.” (Arnos)

“….With that….. As expected there never was a geographical advantage for us. It’s a power source only usable by the heroes side.” (Menou)

Menou’s voice is filled with resentment.

If you know that holy water is flowing out as long as you don’t draw on your magic power it becomes neither poison nor medicine.

I had wondered if they’d use the power of the holy water under the guise of some kind of test.

Do you want to win that much you’d be willing to have a grudge along with any future relationship? Or did you think it would go unnoticed?

“What will you do? With this its not even a game.” (Arnos)

“Thank you. With this, there is enough evidence. I’m going to go and protest.” (Menou)

With an angry look, Menou heads over to Diego.
