The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 244-246:King of the Dead Subjugation -Interlude (1-3)

A cold wind blew across the wilderness like a lingering echo.

Somewhere in that place.

With a soft rustling sound, divine power gathered and formed the shape of a heavenly being.

[Phew.]

It was Vuel.

He let out a deep sigh, laid down on the ground, and gazed at the starry night sky.

Swept away by the ultimate ice spell, Vuel's body had temporarily dissipated, but thanks to the blessing of immortality, he did not die and regained his original form.

Vuel lifted his head and looked around.

It seemed the Ice Sovereign, Isaac, had erased all traces of his magic and left. However, due to the aftermath of the magic, an untimely cold wind swirled through the vast wilderness.

Thanks to the [Timeless Palace of the Glacial Realm], there were no dramatic changes in the wilderness, only the large crack where Hexek the White Skull had appeared remained.

Calgart and his army had vanished without a trace. No matter how superior their regeneration abilities were, it was impossible to withstand a 9-star ice spell unscathed, so the result was expected.

In the end, the underground kingdom built by Calgart's power must have also disappeared.

[Amazing, so that's what kind of human he is...]

Vuel muttered in admiration.

Truly, it was impossible not to be impressed.

He had underestimated humans. He admitted his ignorance.

How many of the highest-ranking heavenly beings would be needed to match the Ice Sovereign? He couldn't tell.

The power the Ice Sovereign had shown was truly overwhelming. Moreover, what Vuel witnessed wasn't even the Ice Sovereign's full strength.

[It was worth watching.]

Vuel sprang up and left.

As he walked through the cold wilderness, Vuel recalled the conversation he had with Calgart in the underground kingdom.

– We do not oppose the Heavenly Gods. There is no reason for you to come here, nor to fight us, is there?

– Calgart, you and I are not so different... I heard there was a demon who tried to be noble. He was powerful enough to manipulate time itself, yet he was sealed away by your god, wasn't he?

– What about it?

– I respect his will. Nobility is something to be attained.

– ...Heavenly beings are a race that pride themselves on their nobility, are they not? It seems you don't consider yourself noble.

– That's right. I am noble, but not of noble character. Therefore, I strive to become noble.

At that moment, Calgart immediately knew Vuel's intentions.

– Are you planning to oppose the Heavenly God, Tianus?

Heavenly God, Tianus.

The ruler of the Divine Realm, the god whom the heavenly beings worship and serve daily, the highest-ranked heavenly being, and the god Vuel planned to kill. How could he consider himself noble after plotting to kill the god he served?

Surely, those questions must have crossed Calgart's mind.

Vuel pulled up the hood of his white robe.

He recalled his purpose.
