There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 188

51. Queen Amodea (4)

Let’s think about it.

In the first place, Selah and the other monstrosities were also going to be killed.

The reason for attacking the Dream Garden, that is, the place of Amodea from the beginning, was to provide vitality to Nabe.

This is because it was to remove unknown variables in advance.

Amodea is the main character of the epic quest, which is separate from the main scenario.

Even if I knocked him down or made him obey, it wasn’t a big problem.

Because I already know the information Aidan needs to get through the Epic Quest.

What if Aidan and his party need equipment for the Queen’s vassals?

I just need to open the dungeon to Aidan willingly.

After killing or expelling all succubus and incubus.

If Nabe sits in that place, doesn’t the entire space belong to Nabe?

Incubus King.

It was as if the owner of the dream garden became my family.

The other things that can be obtained from battle are honestly in Aidan’s journey, but only one mana.

If it’s not very important to the story going forward, it’s a pre-emptive strike to destroy or completely exclude it.

That’s how I act.

It was the reason for forming the secret society, the Illuminati.

The same goes for the back alleys and the temple factions of Canaan.

Both are just some sort of ‘additional content’ added to enrich the volume of the worldview.

Whether or not the faction progressed was not a factor in determining Aidan’s direction.

But can I save Amodea and make her my family?

It’s almost like using Byron-class talent as a force.

No, maybe even stronger than Byron right now.

If you take out the personality, you will have a tactical nucleus capable of projecting more powerful force than anyone else.

For example, in the fight between the many mercenaries and bastards that will appear in the upcoming back alley faction.

There is no need to use a knife, and it is OK if there is only one Amodea.

If you scatter pheromone all over the place while shooting Magi.

With the exception of a few named-class enemies, taking over the back alleys would be a piece of cake.

“Oh, I can’t stand this.”

Without hesitation, I made Amodea into my household.

Then a minor change occurred in the status window.

—–

gate ▼

[Animation absorbed so far: 666]

[Detained Stallion: Nabe / Amodea]

[Influence: Moderate]

[Asmodian Contract]

[Family Management]

[Ability Enhancement]

—–

Amodea was added to my family, and a whopping 13,000 vitalities were consumed.

After all, the queen is the queen, right?

But now the queen is also in my grasp.

I approached Amodea, who had no idea what had just happened.

“hey.”

“Uh, huh? Yeah? yes, master?? 🥺!!”

Unconsciously, she called out her name, Amodea, who shut her mouth.

The effect of the status window was obvious.

I ordered, smiling happily at the immediate feedback.

“Seven.”

However, Amodea only trembled and did not respond to orders.

How did this happen?

When I glanced at Nabe, he said, flapping his wings.

“… … Well. I am rebelling.”

“Are you rebelling?”

When I raise my sword, Amodea screams and backs away.

“Because Amodea is a high-ranking being… … You may not be able to control 100% with your skills yet.”

【Look, Sanwoo Baek. It’s easier to just kill them cleanly. Originally, it means that the job of the demon tribe is to put their heads down.]

Behind the scenes, the Lioner continues to persuade Amodea to be dealt with.

【Even though Nabe is like that, didn’t that damn succubus already have a lot of people in my family!]

It was true.

Except for the dreamers I’ve seen so far, all beings in this space were once human beings.

Now I have lost my emotions, memories, and will.

As a subordinate family to Amodea, it was nothing more than a livestock that periodically gave life to it.

【I can’t forgive you anymore. Besides, if you can’t control it, it’s right to kill it, don’t you think?]

“It’s reasonable, yes. That’s right.”

But isn’t 13,000 lives too precious to kill like this?

As I saw earlier, there were many other functions besides making the dreamer a member of the family.

“a… … Not worth the points.”

For a moment, he was enamored by the fact that he could manipulate Amodea like a limb, and his judgment was clouded.

Before deciding on Amodea’s treatment, I decided to check the rest of the functions.

Family management was literally the function of determining the order of the family members.

Right now, there were only two people, Nabe and Amodea, but if they contracted new demons in the future, it would be useful.

“Then the ability to strengthen… … .”

Let’s check the last function.

The screen of the status window magnified for a moment, and information poured out.

—–

Ability Enhance ▼

[Personal Abilities]

The Majesty of the Demon King ＞＞ Strengthen

Hypnosis ＞＞ Strengthen

Time Magic ＞＞ Enhance

[Family Abilities]

Nabe ＞＞ Details

Amodea ＞＞ Details

—–

Let’s put it off with Jjajangbap, which has been honed in the RPG career of more than a decade.

This function could be seen as the function most similar to Aidan’s status.

First, personal abilities.

The majesty of the Demon King is the power that was forcibly granted at the last altar.

I know it is probably to strengthen the dominance over the lower level demons… … .

Does this mean that if we strengthen this, we will eventually be able to subdue even Amodea-class demons?

And the rest of the hypnosis and time magic… … .

He seemed to know where it came from.

The hypnosis is from the Demon King’s pendant found in the Toryong Cave last time.

And time magic must have been a skill that was originally obtained by rescuing Lorna Aztel, who was imprisoned in the Halls of Time and Space.

Seeing that the hatch is drooping, it feels like it hasn’t been opened yet.

In other words.

This is Baek San-woo’s current potential.

Perhaps, as the DLC scenario progressed, the relationship with Nabe became stronger.

He must have absorbed a lot of vitality as well, so in the original case, Baeksanwoo would have gotten stronger in proportion to Aidan’s strength.

‘Also… … It’s the villain DLC. As well as the ability to acquire, the prerequisite itself is viciousness itself.’

I trembled.

Even though I already knew about it, it was a strange feeling to experience it with my own eyes.

Now, the question of why he had terrible early specs for a DLC main character has been resolved.

Baeksanwoo, so I am.

It could be seen as a ‘strategist’ style character who absorbs and expands power, rather than a person who becomes strong alone like Aidan.

subjugate the demons.

By absorbing the vitality, control more demons.

Using the power of the Demon King and items to disturb the security of Paradise Island.

Through hypnosis, brainwashing promising students into recruitment and power structures.

In the end, he is the worst villain who destroys Paradise Island from the inside out.

‘it’s crazy.’

I was grateful to be possessed by this character from the bottom of my heart.

If I had possessed Aidan without knowing anything… … .

I didn’t want to even imagine what would have happened if the personality of this body had really woken up and was swinging.

【Why all of a sudden, Sanwoo Baek.】

“No, nothing.”

Even though my abilities were the same, the most important thing right now was the treatment of Amodea.

“Nabe, is there any other way?”

Of course, there was some truth to what Lioner said, but it was a stomach ache to throw 13,000 points live.

“At least Sanwoo-sama’s dominance has risen to the point where he can control even Amodea… … .”

The boy slowly rolls his eyes.

“It’s either my dominance goes up, or both.”

In the end, you have to invest points again.

I checked Nabe’s detailed information in the status window.

Despite defeating Selaha together, there was no change in Nabe’s strength or hierarchy.

24th, which I said was the lowest.

There are few abilities, and there are no useful skills.

‘Isn’t there a way to be sure… … .’

The moment I thought

There was one thing that quickly flashed through my mind.

“Hey Nabe.”

“Yes, Master. Please speak.”

“Do you have the Demon King’s Pendant?”

* * *

‘Demon King’s Pendant’ obtained as a dungeon reward in Toryong Cave.

The ability of that artifact, which was ominous from the outside, was that it hypnotized the opponent once the function was activated.

Unlike fantasy-type magic, which can be used only if you have various conditions and skills that match them.

The Demon King’s Pendant could be put into a very powerful hypnotic state by simply making eye contact with the subject.

The level of forcibly erasing the subject’s memory and even remotely executing the command given once.

Such fine adjustments will only be possible after mastering at least illusion magic.

‘But what if this also works for demons?’

The only thing that deserved it was the pendant that the Demon King directly guaranteed.

It would have been better if it had a good effect on the demons, but I thought it wouldn’t be less.

“yes… … Of course I have… … .”

“Let’s take it out and use it.”

“ah… … !”

Nabe, noticing what I meant, put her hand in the space and wobbled.

He quickly takes out a purple pendant in the shape of an eye.

“Here you go!”

Nabe smiled and handed over the pendant.

As soon as it is taken out of the subspace, the thick magic that is scattered about, Lioner asks in surprise.

【What is this… … Baeksan-woo!?]

“Oh, you don’t know?”

At the time, Lioner was absent with Grundel for a while.

He didn’t tell me anything about the Demon King’s pendant, so it was natural for the Lioner to react like that.

“I learned it last time. It was too dangerous for me to have, so I gave it to Nabe.”

【Isn’t it a real Demon King’s Pendant!!!”

“Come on, I’ll explain it step by step. Let’s finish it quickly and go back now. Do you believe me?”

I pat the Lioner’s body, which was just one step away from going mad, and calmed him down.

There is no time to explain everything here.

I showed the pendant that Nabe had given me to Amodea.

“Well, what are you doing… … !”

flash.

When the eyes that had been tightly closed blinked open, Amodea’s mouth, who had been screaming, shut up.

His characteristic eyes also lost focus and became blurry.

It is ‘hypnotized’.

“It works!”

“Hehehe, the power of the Demon Lord is equal to everyone.”

【Did you really understand the meaning of those words?】

The Lioner slammed my front foot to the ground.

【You are also affected by that pendant! Me too!]

“don’t worry. Nabe will never hurt me.”

“sure!!! How can I hurt Lioner-sama and the Bocchan!”

【I don’t know now, but how can I be sure in the future?”

“I have an oath imprinted on it. This engraving takes precedence over the orders of the Demon King.”

I pointed to the pattern on the back of Nabe’s hand.

“You know that? Why do you keep doing that?”

【still… … I can not admit it.】

Lioner’s stance is understandable. However, it is not possible to simply neglect or destroy such a hacky item.

He easily subdued Amodea, who had been rebelling even now.

If it hadn’t been for the Demon King’s pendant, it would have just blown away 13,000 lives.

“For now, let’s talk about this pendant even later. got it?”

【Or how about handing over the control to me?】

“If it’s okay with you, anytime?”

【I get it… … .]

I realize that neither Nabe nor I are interested in anything other than the meaning and function of the pendant.

Lioner’s fiery personality softened a bit.

“Then, shall we imprint the oath on Amodea now?”

“Okay, Master!”

I approached the succubus queen, who was sitting idly, and said,

“Amodea.”

“Yes… … .”

“Engrave the seal of your oath. It is the mark between you and me.”

“I will do as you command.”

When Amodea raised her hands, a clear pattern was created on the back of her hand, just like Nabe.

imprint of the oath.

No matter how strong a demon, an absolute pact that can never be broken.

“Then, as your master, I command you first.”

“Say it.”

As long as Amodea could be controlled, the monsters remaining in the garden should not be allowed to deviate as they wished.

“Give me 10 seconds. Gather all the dreamers under you.”
