Chapter 324

[21st Round] Bakery

Anxiety: Was it worth it?

Dont worry, Trainee Teacher!

This guardian blocked trade between the Eastern and Western Continents.

Without the maelstrom he was guarding, my 1st round would have been two years shorter.

Plus, he was an idiot.

Our s.h.i.+p fell into his vortex on its way to the Western Continent.

Once he let us go, he could have thrown us in the direction of our destination.

But he brought us back to the Eastern Continent instead.

If this obstacle disappeared, it would benefit the heroes adventures.

Oh! We had arrived.

It happened so quickly since we crossed the endless waters without being disrupted by the whirlpool.

Western Continent of Fantasy.

In the past, it was a cold continent where, due to the abundance of Lucifers in the sky, not even a single ray of light could break through, but now it flourished just like the Central Continent.

I was even given a reception.

Welcome to the Empire of Eternal Night. I am the daughter of Her Majesty the Empress and the Great Sage Shakespeare

Princess of Darkness.

Oh, uh Though I am a princess, Im not

Princess of Darkness.

I see how it is. Please, call me what you like, Demon Lord, answered the Princess of Darkness politely, standing on the deck of the flying s.h.i.+p built based on the principle of Orgata, which the directors grandson owned.

I landed on the deck with her.

Although I was in a hurry, I wasnt a savage who ignored warm greetings.

Besides

A hologram appeared in the air.

Lord of Demons and Hope, we have already collected the Chaos Artifacts for you. The teachers who appeared here tried to divert our attention by attacking residents and provoking me, but they are now hiding somewhere after their failure.

Not teachers, but some kind of robbers.

Although I didnt ask, the Connoisseur gave me the information I needed.

The hologram also showed the Western Continents epitome of beauty approaching him from behind and biting her husbands earlobe.

Ahem! The collected artifacts are on a flying s.h.i.+p. As soon as the teachers get close, we plan on shooting them with the night sun, but they still havent taken the bait.

It turns out theyre not complete idiots.

Moreover, we have completed preparations for the serial production of the Mollanphone you ordered.

Great job.

It is nothing special Ah! Honey, were talking about important matters right now.

My dear Shakespeare, my body and mind are hungry for you. You worked all day. Its time to rest.

Oh! Demon Lord! If there are any changes, I will contact you again!

Peep

The hologram disappeared.

Judging by the calm expression on the Princess of Darknesss face, she had become accustomed to such a pa.s.sion of her parents.

On their behalf, I would like to apologize. My mom is especially problematic. I thought she would get better over time, but the fact that shes the empires ruler just gradually faded away from her mind instead. Well, my father is at least doing her work for her. Thanks to him, despite her lazy governance, the empire enjoyed a quiet life for two millennia without any problems. However, she still doesnt seem to show even the slightest sign of correcting her behavior

She had a lot of complaints.

I would advise her to get married to eliminate her envy, but the Princess of Darkness was a companion. After about 300 days, the world would be fixed, and if she were to get married, her chances of partic.i.p.ating in the heroes adventures would be greatly reduced.

Deadly journeys were designed for bachelors and virgins. Married men and women wouldnt risk their lives in such a way.

If they had children, it would be even harder to convince them.

By the way, this flying s.h.i.+p is huge!

It was like floating aircraft carriers linked to each other like train cars.

Do you like it?

Very much so.

It resembled a spine.

Its designed by the Great Sage Shakespeare specifically for the Demon Lord. The s.h.i.+p is modeled after your sword, which looks like a spine, and is powered by a fully automatic system that does not require manual piloting. It is equipped with firepower capable of sinking any continent in a couple of seconds, but this requires huge amounts of resources, making long-term battles difficult.

This is great. Regression meant Id always be able to replenish my a.r.s.enal, so its inefficiency during wars of attrition had been canceled out.

Im glad you like it.

Does it have a name?

Mollanfors.

Mollanfors?

Its a mixture of ancient languages. Simply put, this is Mollans Power.

Perfection!

Inside Mollanfors are factories for the production of androids and fighters, which makes up this vessels entire crew. Theyre currently inactive since they dont have the required materials to function, but they operate automatically.

The investment was worth it.

I successfully brought a man to a woman together in the past, and now I savored the fruits of my labor.

Mollanfors.

I would need to test its firepower later, but I had no doubts about its capabilities since Shakespeare was the one who invented it.

Perplexity: The Phantom King Shakespeare I knew was just a vampire that fought using corpses and ghosts

Youre lagging behind, Fugitive Senior. Were already at the 5th curriculum.

The MAX-Cla.s.s junior cleaned up all the mess his FFF-Cla.s.s senior left behind in the past curriculums.

Mollanfors!

It was a very cool name that I would never get tired of!

Nervousness: The mistakes of my youth disappeared along with my personal file. Now all that remains is to gather my ex-wives who can be considered witnesses of those times.

If he gave me his full support, I would make it happen.

Following the instructions of the Princess of Darkness, I scanned the Chaos Artifacts stored in Mollanfors conning tower.

But it didnt provide me with any useful information.

Only my senior knew if any of these were his wives belongings.

Conclusion: Theres one. The red shoes with unusually high heels. I ordered them for my ex-wife, who hated her childish figure What?

It seemed race and nationally werent the only criteria Fugitive Senior didnt mind

He never ceased to surprise me.

We need to take these shoes to the Central Continent.

It might be possible to track down that teacher with a tiny physique.

Depression: That wont happen, junior. Why do you think those shoes that make her taller were thrown away?

It looked like my senior had enough reasons to run away from home.

The Princess of Darkness handed me a new Mollanphone.

This is Mollanphone 2, which the summoned heroes will receive. Turning it on will automatically display its user manual on its screen.

How cute.

The Demon Lords Mollanphone 2G is still in production. Once its done, we will contact you.

Good.

This concluded my business on the Western Continent.

I have moved all of the Chaos Artifacts, including the shoes, into my Demon Vault.

All that remained was to find the artifacts that Shakespeare missed.

Folding my wings, I jumped off of Mollanfors railings.

But I didnt just fall.

Fshuh! Fshuh! Fshuh!

Compressing s.p.a.ce, I gradually changed the direction of my descent.

I didnt know my destination myself. I was just following the prompts of the President of the Universe, after all.

Perplexity: Junior, no matter how much attention the universe pays to you, arent you too confident in your luck?

Luck? No, I was confident in every step I took.

Clap!

A crater should have formed around me, but I fell somewhere below ground instead, revealing a void under the earths layer.

Although the Western Continents environment and landscape had changed radically due to the MAX-Cla.s.s Righteous Matchmakers works, the worlds structure itself remained the same.

I knew this place well.

Cave of Trials. I was here 200 years ago.

It was a secret place that could never be found by anyone other than those who had the Hero trait. It was the same as the Training Cave hidden on the Northern Continent.

Since this place was tied to the system, not even Shakespeare could find it. Even if he did, he wouldnt be able to get inside.

The same wouldve gone for me, but I was a hero.

I didnt use its actual entrance, but I got inside anyway.

Surprise: So this is where my senior colleagues were hiding!

No wonder they managed to escape Shakespeares s.p.a.ce bombardment. They had holed themselves up in here.

There was no better place to use as a safe house.

Naturally, teachers werent heroes. However, they could enter as managers.

What a pity, student Kang Han Soo Many wouldve been delighted if you used your judgment for the good of the school.

Gardening Teacher, I know youre sorry, but this time youll have to give up. Hes been a terrible student from the start.

Geography Teacher! Be careful!

Dont worry. We are completely safe here. Unlike him.

Just like the others, they were a couple composed of opposite genders.

The female Gardening Teacher and the male Geography Teacher.

The way they looked at each other was unusual.

Denial: Thats how colleagues normally look at each other! Stop making strange a.s.sumptions!

Leaving my senior alone for being unable to accept reality, I frowned as I looked around.

I tried compressing s.p.a.ce, but it didnt work.

Geography Teacher seemed to be right in front of me, but I still couldnt reach him.

Anything you do will prove futile. I am the one who organizes adventures for students. I can easily predict your movements.

Predict my movements? Interesting.

I a.s.sumed you would get here. Although the way you penetrated through the ceiling was quite a surprise, it doesnt change anything. This place is full of traps created to subdue you.

Theres hardly any in here.

With open arms, I welcomed all the traps I struggled to avoid in my first round.

Poisonous arrows, iron b.a.l.l.s, hooks, mines, spikes, flamethrowers

They couldnt even scratch my current body, but still, this cave made my level drop.

That bothered me.

I tried to approach Geography Teacher by compressing the s.p.a.ce around us once more.

[s.p.a.ce]

[Eight Trigrams]

But it didnt work.

Unlike the other teachers I could handle in this way, he was a divine apostle who borrowed power from G.o.d, just like Supervisor Bakery.

If I had the full power of the Demon Lord, there would be no problem, but right now, our powers neutralized each other.

Surrender now. As you may have guessed already, Im not just a geography teacher. I am a divine apostle. I have rendered it impossible for you to get out of here as I make you pay for your arrogance.

Nonsense.

Haha! Everyone can bluff Huh?!

Like I said, nonsense.

I threw my Perfect Holy Sword at Geography Teacher, striking him down.

Grabbing his back, he exclaimed, How is this possible?!

Isnt it natural?

The power that gave Geography Teacher a herniated disc wasnt borrowed from other G.o.ds.

[Spine]

This strength was my own.

You didnt know?

How could I know that? I only heard that you are an F-Cla.s.s apostle of some G.o.d with a sore back!

Youre next, Gardening Teacher.

This is Parker Lees fault! His report has been falsified!

It seemed the faculty members were unaware of my strength up until now because of Supervisor Bakery.

Now it became clearer why they flocked here like moths dazzled by the light.

That being said

On your knees.

All spines bent in front of me.
