Chapter 142: The last surprise (2/2)

Without wasting any more time, using their joint strengths, (HUFFFF!!!) they pushed the door.

CREEEAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKK!!!

The door made a long creaking noise as the gap of the door became bigger.

When the gap was big enough for them to enter, they did not waste another time. They entered immediately.

”Woohoo!” One of their friends screamed in elation. After this, they would not only earn treasures, they would also become popular. Especially in the academy. No, not only in the academy. But also in the whole empire.

The girls from the student council chuckled at their childish action. But most of them were proud of Jura's group. Some of them were even whispering. To have a crush with— (No spoiler!)

Jura and the others immediately rolled his eyes. Scanning the whole room.

The walls were decorated with expensive-looking fabric of red and black colors. On the ceiling, a seemingly alive painting was eye-catching.

It was a painting of a demon with long horns. Hacking every Humans, Demihumans, Fishmen, etc.

On the floor, a red carpet was connected from the door towards the podium with 5 steps high.

And on top of the podium, a big golden chair could be seen.

On the chair, a huge entity was sitting. It had long horns and big protruding tusks from its mouth.

It had well-built arms and legs muscles. Its eyes were close. But Jura and the others could feel an eerie feeling towards it.

Golden knuckle and wristband on its hands and arms.

And golden boots on its legs. He was clad with heavy-looking red breastplate armor. And a long red cloak was hung loosely from its back. His two arms were resting on the golden armchair. They also noticed a big sword inside the black scabbard.

Everyone gasped upon seeing it and fell silent. Even the people outside the painting were no exception.

But fortunately, it was only a statue.

”A demon lord?” Mumbled Jura.

”H-Huge!” Nicholas added.

At the moment, Nicholas and the others were in their full transformation mode.

Nicholas' transformation was like that of a golden humanoid bird. Jura on the other hand, nothing much changed in his appearance. There was only a pair of wings growing from his back. And he was clad in shining silver armor while wielding a longsword in his hand.

They noticed that they were only as tall as the statue's knee.

While Jura and the others were staring at the statue, one of his friends ran towards the podium to where the huge figure was sitting in the chair.

”There! The treasures! Hahaha!” He shouted while fast approaching towards where the treasures were lying.

Jura and the glanced and saw 3 golden chests at the foot of the huge figure.

”!!”

However, before their friend could get near it, Jura noticed a slight twitch in the figure's eye.

Before his warning came out from his mouth. His friend suddenly went to a stop.

(Thud thud thud…) Then something flew and rolled to the room's floor.

Everyone fell silent…

”A head?”

”.....”
