Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest

40 – The Burning Citadel

“Morath! Hiera caught the demon hunter.”

The black magician rushed in and delivered the news.

The unexpected news opened Morath’s eyes.

“Demon Hunter? Hiera caught him? Are you sure the information is correct?”

Demon Hunter disappeared half a year ago. And the place where he appeared was the academy. The Demon Hunter was a priest the Golden Dawn had been eyeing. Perhaps more dangerous than the hero.

“Yes, I’m sure he is.”

“When, where, and how did you catch him? The guy is not a goofy guy. Wasn’t it Hiera’s illusion? Hiera doesn’t have enough troops to catch the demon hunter.”

“That’s why the Pandemonium army was attacking him. And….”

The warlock told Hiera exactly what he had heard. A battle with the Great Demon and the Demon Army.

“Yes…. If Hiera’s words are true, there can be no better news than this. Good night. Prepare to leave for the citadel right now.”

As soon as the men left, Morath began to giggle.

Demon hunters have been one of the kinks in the Golden Dawn.

To them, the leader of the Heretic Questioner, the pope, the hero, and the saint were objects that had to be eliminated. And since there was someone as dangerous as them, it was Gran, who was called a demon hunter.

The demon hunter is missing like a man who died about half a year ago. Morath didn’t think the demon hunter was dead. Moras knew well what kind of guy he was.

As expected by Morath, the demon hunter was alive. He didn’t know why, but he showed up at the academy.

He summoned the Heretic Questioner and removed many of the black magicians planted in the academy.

“If you get rid of him, it will be much easier.”

“Finally, we can see the demon hunter. I’m already looking forward to what kind of person he will be. Can he have a fight?”

The man sitting in the shadows said.

He was a skinny man with a boyish face. He was the most promising figure in the Golden Dawn and a warlock the same age as the demon hunter.

“No. He’s not a very nice guy. Deian, focus on your work.”

“Chi, do I really have to go?”

“Didn’t you say you would go with your mouth?”

“That’s right, the demon hunter was at school.”

“Still, there is no change. You must have heard that most of your colleagues at the academy died the other day. You’re probably the only one at your age who can completely hide your demonic powers.”

“Ehh…. All right. You can still see the face.”

Moras nodded his head countless times as Deian continued to fool around.

“Okay. Hurry up and get ready.”

***

I looked around the dungeon, but no one was there. There were traces of being imprisoned. Only bloodstains remain, or already skeletons.

There was not much to look around in the dungeon. I found the key in the arms of the warlock who was paralyzed from the neck down.

He kept mumbling to see if there was anything he wanted to say. He couldn’t hear what he was saying.

Ignoring him and trying to get out of the dungeon seemed like he was calling me urgently.

“Ugh….”

“Hmm…. Noisy. If there’s someone who uses divine power, I’m sure he can heal your wounds. I’d rather just kill him.”

“Ugh… !”

Kwaduk!

I escaped the dungeon after seeing the warlock fall into a deep sleep. I climbed the spiral staircase.

There was a room on the way up. I kicked the door and went in. It seemed to be the guards’ room.

“Are you awake?”

The man lying on the bed said.

“Yes, I woke up.”

The man jumped to his feet when he heard my voice, but it was too late.

Pud Deuk!

I covered his mouth with one hand and broke his arm with the other.

“Eup-up!”

“Where are my clothes and staff?”

He pointed at the box with his other hand as he struggled in pain.

I grabbed his neck, broke it, and opened the box he said.

In the box was a priest’s robe and a leather pouch. I expected it, but there was no wand.

There was a high probability that the staff could not be found here. If he had brought it, he would have had to search everywhere. Escape first came first.

I thought the staff might be near the village. It was very heavy, and it was not a very expensive material.

I had biscuits and beef jerky still in my leather pouch. After appeasing my hunger, I got dressed. The top was torn, but it was better than the bare body.

Kikik.

As I was getting dressed, someone opened the door and came in.

The heretic who met my eyes quickly grasped the situation and drew his dagger.

“Uh, how….”

“Did you think you could hold me down with just one of those shackles?”

Quaak!

Before I could hear him answer, I punched him in the head. Unable to respond to my attack, the heretic collapsed with blood from his nose.

They weren’t demons. There is no big difference, but all the guys I beat were heretics. Simply put, this was a stronghold for heretics.

In addition to purifying them, I set fire to them and their rooms with holy power.

Escape was the first objective, but it was also a good opportunity to beat the heretics.

After lighting the fire, I went up the stairs again. Eventually, it arrived on the ground.

The place where I was imprisoned was the stronghold of heretics. I couldn’t tell exactly where the fortress was, but it seemed to be in the realm of demons.

“Hmm…. It’s more than I thought.”

I looked around the fort and set fire to it. As smoke rose from everywhere, heretics began to gather.

“Come on, come on.”

“The priest has escaped!”

“Get that bastard!”

***

‘I think I can smell something burning.’

Hiera thought while lying on the bed and sniffing his nose. She was in the best mood. It was no different than using demons to catch demon hunters for free.

Imagining Morath’s expression already made her heart swell.

She was brought to Los Stars Citadel as she was exiled because of her incompetent abilities. In the realm of demons, the weather was gloomy and it was a very boring place.

She was not patrolling with her men, but wandering around leisurely, sensing her strange aura.

I felt the energy of the Great Devil nearby, and I heard that the demonic army was moving.

I secretly looked at it and saw that the giant priest I had only heard about was massacring demons.

I had a hard time catching the demon hunter, but in the end I held him in the fortress prison.

‘Now I can get out of this disgusting place.’

She lay idle, enjoying leisure and achievement.

Clap!

Someone silently opened the door.

Anger erupted momentarily, but Hiera’s head turned white at the words that came out of her subordinate’s mouth.

“Hey, Hiera-sama! The demon hunter has escaped!”

“… What?”

She got out of bed and looked out. Flames were raging all over the castle.

‘What is it? I’m sure I didn’t hear anything?’

“He’s destroying the castle! If Hiera-sama doesn’t step forward….”

“Me? Tell all troops sent out on patrol to return.”

After Hiera let her men go, she looked out the window to see the demon hunter’s figure. She seemed to know why there was no sound. Outside, no one was visible except the figure of a demon hunter. Except for the dead ones.

After catching the hunter, it was like a rest period. Because everyone was intoxicated with victory.

I never thought he would escape. He thought he was dead until he caught him.

However, the figure of the priest looking out the window was very lively.

‘Oh, what should I do? When will Moras come?’

It was impossible to catch the brisk demon hunter. Especially now the troops are scattered.

The best move was to run away. The best I could do for now was to wait for Morath with the troops out on patrol and deal with the demon hunters.

She looked out the window to locate the demon hunter.

“Sir, the f*ck is coming this way.”

She moved hurriedly, hurriedly adjusting her clothes.

Quang!

The door cracked open.

Hiera threw open the door.

“Ugh….”

She looked up at the demon hunter as she held onto her broken wrist.

Hiera’s face turned white after seeing him.

He had the huge muscles and body of a hunter, and thick blood flowed from his hands and body.

‘I have to get out somehow….’

No entrance. The hunter was blocking. Then there was only one place to run.

“You….”

As soon as Hiera heard Gran’s voice, she ran towards the window. It was a high place, but if you use black magic, you won’t die.

Chae Ae-Aeng!

She threw her body at her window glass and broke it. Blowing her body was successful.

She crashed to the floor at high speed.

She used dark magic to protect her body.

Kwaaak!

Although the shock was strong, it did not break her bones or cause damage to the extent that she could not move.

As she was quickly raising her body, the world suddenly went dark. As she raised her head, a huge man covered the sky.

“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
