Tagger

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The pill of pain jumped like crazy. Exactly as if bursting a mad laugh. The vision continuously shook. The mind went up straight.

Because drank the ruler’s blood. The blood of the ruler who is a high-rank demon race was different from what drank before.

That was not simply the demon race’s blood.

This—.

‘Is mana itself.’

It was the feeling of drinking pure mana. To think of purity being this high—. to the extent all the mana handled until now feels like trash.

Wanted to have more.

No—.

‘Want to drink all.’

Galahad’s eyes deeply sank.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! the pill of pain continuously jumped. The guy also could not control the excitement.

Not Magic Realm but the ruler’s authority was weak. Thanks to some power received from the four-legged demon race could endure the ruler’s authority.

The ruler’s authority was not attack but domination. In other words, if one can endure the power rapidly halves. There even drank the ruler’s blood.

Not knowing even such a situation, at the ruler who approached to the front Galahad was certain of victory.

Actually the plan entered quite cleanly. Predicted and induced the ruler’s actions.

The moment trying to stick an ice spear into the heart, the ruler exerted bizarre power. The ruler’s body momentarily twisted. It was an incomprehensible reaction.

‘Is there one more authority?’

Galahad’s eyes narrowed.

It was not that the attack all returned to nothing. The ruler’s neck was half torn, and an ice spear was stuck in that chest.

Although a fatal state to the extent would have died if a person, the ruler was rather laughing.

“Only this?”

“There is still left though.”

Galahad answered while furrowing his eyes.

“Yes, there should be left. Because the traitor’s disciple. There should be one move.”

Galahad immediately flicked his finger. An ice awl popped out right in front of the ruler. The demon race beside received instead. Red blood fully splashed.

“Arrogant thing.”

Demon races jumped in front of the ruler. A wall made of demon races arose in front of the ruler in an instant.

The appearance of expressionless humans tangled was quite terrible.

Then, Galahad felt a chilling feeling. Hurriedly flicked his finger. Something without form was blocked by Galahad’s barrier.

It was formless mana. Precisely speaking—.

‘It is a lower-rank demon race’s authority.’

Looking around, a demon race swinging a fist was seen.

‘Even using subordinates’ authority.’

It seemed not all simply handling movements.

However, that authority had a quite rough feel. If usual would have lightly flowed degree sloppy, but the problem was that the number is many.

And that quite—.

‘This.’

Authorities poured from all around. Galahad’s barrier roughly shook.

Then, the humans around the ruler started bunching. Expressionless humans tangled each other messily exactly like parts. Limbs bending there was neither a small scream nor hesitation.

The size became large in an instant. That form was quite repulsive.

‘A golem.’

It was a golem bunched with humans.

The ruler’s appearance disappeared into that. Erected a thick shield to block Galahad’s magic.

‘Wise.’

To use space magic one had to know the opponent’s location. If covering the location like that there was no answer.

Because space magic was not light magic, one could not roughly gauge the location and shoot recklessly.

Authorities and demon races pouring from all around, even the ruler who hid its own body—.

Galahad calculated again.

‘There is that.’

Galahad recalled a quite plausible method.

Thump! the pill of pain roughly spewed thick mana as if answering. Because drank the ruler’s blood, that impulse and weight were extreme. The mind shook.

‘Only sipping a little degree, this degree—.’

If drank all would have burst. Galahad desperately held the mind and flicked his finger.

An ice awl rose in front of that, how high the purity transparent without even one bubble. Exactly stuck into the charging demon race’s chest. Even the guys behind became skewers and collapsed.

Although amazing power, that place was soon filled. It was a tsunami of flesh made of demon races and soldiers.

‘Slowly.’

Galahad desperately moved the running wild mana, and flicked his finger.

The barrier roughly shook. Flesh fully sprayed. Blood wet the floor. A fishy blood smell stabbed the nose.

There was no scream. There was also no shout. Just the sound of slicing flesh and the sound of pounding the barrier, the sound of flicking fingers was all.

Galahad confirmed mana, and continuously scattered magic. If mana dropped sipped the water bottle.

The combat with the ruler was a war of attrition. The ruler continuously pushed its subordinates, and Galahad processed one by one while defending.

The ruler’s subordinates were too many to catch all. In contrast Galahad’s mana was limited.

It was a war of attrition where Galahad’s defeat was confirmed.

“Gradually not fun.”

The ruler said while raising the corners of its mouth. Below the guy there was a small golem bunched with humans.

That golem where expressionless people densely bunched was a quite terrible shape.

“Agree.”

Galahad answered while softly coughing. Whether thought bluff the ruler laughed with a keul keul.

“Like the traitor guy’s disciple only the mouth lived.”

The ruler sneered. It seemed certain Galahad is the First Mage’s disciple. Galahad also did not particularly deny.

The First Mage was the origin of magic. All mages were no different from his disciples.

‘This degree would do?’

Galahad slightly confirmed below. Blood was full to the extent wet.

Because not a magic beast but a demon race, the density would be thicker. This degree would be enough.

“Wait.”

Galahad lifted the gold rod. The pouring authority momentarily stopped.

“Thinking of begging for life now?”

“No, there is something to do a bit.”

The ruler made a heo— fake laugh. Galahad turned the gold rod with a binggeul—.

“This guy! Using that precious thing as a stick!”

“Stick. It is a staff.”

“This— damn thing!”

Galahad ignored the ruler’s intense reaction.

Drew the border all. Although a bit picky in the chaotic midst it was perfect. Still just in case examined again.

‘Enough.’

Galahad who nodded stamped the floor with the gold rod.

“This guy!! Daring!!”

The ruler shouted loudly. That reaction was quite delicious.

Light fully rose from below Galahad. The magic circle drawn very largely with the gold rod revealed its form.

“Doing a useless act.”

The ruler clicked its tongue and waved its hand. The golem made of humans covered the front of the ruler. It seemed thinking the magic circle is for attack.

The ruler covered its own location with the human golem. It was an effective method to block Galahad’s magic.

At that Galahad recalled a new method.

The blood that was on the magic circle bubbled. Rose as if fully boiled and burst with a peong— small. Red mist slowly rose from there.

Red mist started fully spreading.

‘Hunting also had use.’

It was the red mist used in the hunting with the Grand Duke.

Although not knowing would use here—.

“Come, it is the second round.”

Galahad disappeared into the blood mist.

*

‘Tenacious guy.’

The ruler fully furrowed its eyes.

The guy’s magic was bizarre. Threatening to the extent piercing the skin of the ruler who is a high-rank demon race. However, that was because the ruler let its guard down.

Actually after the ruler wrapped subordinates around not even one strike was permitted.

‘To think a trivial mage overcoming my authority.’

The ruler’s authority was reigning over things lower than that. That was not something one can overcome with the mind.

Yet the guy who is a mage overcame the ruler’s authority.

‘The forgotten existence intervened.’

It was clear raised the class. So one can endure the ruler’s authority—.

The guy who should be in the pit deliberately using power to help, it was a somewhat amazing matter.

However, anyway it was.

Even if raising the class and overcoming the ruler’s authority, enduring was all. The guy was in the ruler’s area.

Then, the blood that was below the guy changed into mist and fully filled the surroundings.

‘Is it the intention of covering the eyes. Struggling to the end.’

The ruler clicked its tongue softly. It was a useless move. Because the subordinates’ eyes were soon the ruler’s eyes.

However, the ruler who was hit once did not let its guard down and erected the barrier made of humans more firmly. Fully filled so there is no gap at all.

And the moment trying to unfold authority—.

The ruler twisted its body at subtle coolness. An ice awl was stuck in the shoulder.

‘······How?’

Knew the guy’s magic pierces space. However, it was already a state of covering all around.

Would not be able to know this side’s location—.

‘Did one shoot recklessly? A lucky guy.’

The ruler furrowed its eyes and clicked its tongue. It seemed shooting recklessly now driven to the end.

Then, the waist shook. Lowering the gaze, an ice awl was stuck in the waist.

The guy was accurately aiming at the ruler.

‘How?’

It was a state of covering all around. How knowing the ruler’s location—.

Then, a subtle smell blew. At that looking around already red mist was full.

‘······Surely.’

The ruler’s eyes narrowed. The ruler once moved. An ice awl brushed the thigh.

There was only one that changed. Red mist—.

‘Found out my location through the mist made of blood.’

The ruler’s eyes narrowed.

“Now you are the tagger.”

The mist became even thicker.

****

“Must enter.”

At Gilbert’s urgent voice First shook his head.

“There is still no signal.”

“Can’t it be urgent to the extent unable to send a signal.”

“Galahad is not such a sloppy man.”

First’s answer was still firm. Adrianne’s brows fully furrowed.

Quite time flowed since Galahad entered. Yet having to just wait because there is no signal—.

Adrianne somehow did not like First. Because an unknown man it was a natural story.

Then, First turned his head.

“Troops are coming. Did one request support?”

Adrianne nodded.

However, that number of footsteps was quite many.

At that turning his head, approaching troops were seen. That scale was considerable. The flags with numbers written were eight.

It was the story of all battalions excluding the 6th Battalion sending troops. It was clear the Grand Duke’s order.

The Grand Duke who usually does not move troops dispatching such large-scale troops—.

‘What on earth report did one raise?’

Adrianne softly tilted her head.

2nd Battalion Captain Liam stepped forward.

“Captain Adrianne. Came first.”

Adrianne only nodded. Behind that the captains stood to the side. Everyone was a firm face. It seemed felt the atmosphere is unusual.

“Heard a high-rank demon race called the ruler is occupying the 6th Battalion?”

It was Liam who values the North above all. It seemed indignant at the fact of a demon race occupying a battalion.

“Yes.”

“Enter right away.”

Liam gestured behind. Other captains each drew weapons. The soldiers behind also fully raised momentum.

It was momentum of entering right now. It was a situation where even troops came. There was no reason to hesitate more.

However—.

[Believe me.]

Adrianne chewed her lips.

“Not yet.”

“Not yet?”

At Adrianne’s words Liam furrowed his eyes. Adrianne pondered for a moment and exhaled breath.

“Captain Galahad said there is a possibility the ruler runs away, so binding him and giving a signal. When Captain Galahad’s signal drops will enter.”

Adrianne said while putting strength.

“Captain Galahad? Is it the Special Mission Unit’s mage. Although received the Grand Duke’s recognition, he is a mage. The opponent is a high-rank demon race, does believing him make sense?”

The 3rd Battalion Captain raised a question. It was a valid question. Other captains nodded. There were also ones who rather revealed antipathy to Galahad’s name.

The momentum tilted in an instant.

“Discovering the ruler’s city was also Captain Galahad, and finding occupying the 6th Battalion was also Captain Galahad. If not following his judgment, who does one follow?”

Adrianne said while stepping forward one step. At that the captains’ expressions became subtle.

“When the signal comes enter.”

Adrianne ordered in a firm voice.

It was Adrianne who usually does not interfere with other captains. Such Adrianne giving an order, various expressions rose on the captains’ faces.

However, there was no one who opposed.

Then—.

Fierce power was felt from inside the castle. A moment the soldiers roughly staggered. The captains’ heads turned with a hwaek—.

A few soldiers could not endure and collapsed. The formation shook. At that massive power the captains’ faces became serious.

“Is it that Captain Galahad takes charge of such a monster?”

At 2nd Battalion Captain Liam’s question Adrianne pondered for a moment. Soon slowly nodded.

“Wait for the signal.”

Then, an anomaly occurred. Red mist fully rose beyond the castle gate. It was a gloomy mist to the extent hair stands on end.

“It is the signal.”

First who was quiet stood with a flash. Finally—. Adrianne softly frowned.

“Because there is also a possibility the ruler runs away, will divide each area.”

Adrianne designated the part each captain takes charge of.

There was no one who refused Adrianne’s order. Because Adrianne was the North’s hero, and the Grand Duke’s only blood.

Following Adrianne’s order the units quickly spread. Moved to each castle gate.

Adrianne who quickly finished the placement felt a subtle emptiness.

First and Pumpkin were not seen.

There even the Special Mission Unit—.

Adrianne’s eyes narrowed.

Then, a horn sound was heard. It was the signal that preparation ended.

“Enter.”

Adrianne who gave a short order kicked the ground as is. Adrianne who raised aura passed the castle gate in an instant.

Magic beasts and demon races were guarding around the castle wall, yet that number was fewer than thought.

Adrianne’s eyes quickly moved. Demon races heading to the blood-colored mist were seen.

As swinging pure white aura, the demon race in front instantly became dust.

Adrianne moved without stopping. Pure white aura continuously brilliantly shone. Dust sprayed all around.

Adrianne who arrived in front of the blood-colored mist furrowed her eyes.

There—.

“Late.”

First was sitting. Exactly a leisurely appearance as if came on a picnic. Pumpkin beside slightly bowed his head. Unlike leisurely First Pumpkin was full of sweat.

Already arriving and being so leisurely—.

‘A capable one.’

Adrianne softly admired.

“Means Galahad’s smell comes from here.”

First said while scratching his chin.

Galahad’s smell coming from the thick mist made of blood—. at the bizarre sound Adrianne furrowed her eyes.

“I will enter.”

When Adrianne tried to enter while correcting the sword grip—.

First blocked in front of Adrianne. At First who blocked and stood in front of Adrianne Pumpkin somehow became anxious.

However, now First was in the middle of a mission. There was no way one would play.

“What?”

Adrianne asked in a slightly lowered voice.

At that First pointing at Adrianne—.

“That side is excluded.”

Firmly said.
