Chapter 577
It wasn’t big news, as it was already rather well-known that the Demon King had infiltrated the Temple as a student, and the fact that he had been in the same grade as the emperor, the princess, and the hero highlighted the Demon King’s malicious and sinister nature.
The Demon King had observed the most important people in the Empire up close and learned about the Empire. He had even attempted to subtly sway the prince and the princess to his side.
However, the Demon King’s identity had been exposed in the end, and those who had been swayed by him and dared to betray humanity had rescued him from captivity and fled.
The Demon King’s true purpose remained unknown, but he had triggered the Gate Incident to annihilate humanity.
The Demon King’s loyal followers were those who betrayed humanity.
And among the second-year Royal Class students, some, including Ellen, had become incredibly important figures.
The emperor, Vertus de Gradias.
The hero of humanity, Ellen Artorius.
Adelia, who had created the Power Cartridge and Titan.
Heinrich, the pyrokinetic.
Cristina, the inventor of Moonshine.
Ludwig had never been particularly conscious of being in the same class as them, but upon witnessing Rowen’s shock, he realized anew that his classmates, even excluding the Demon King and Ellen, were formidable people who were not often discussed.
