Chapter 102

Sorry

In the North high-rank demon races were not common. Because high grade demon races do not leave Magic Realm.

That a demon race is strong in Magic Realm, in other words means weakens outside Magic Realm. For that reason high grade demon races did not come down to the North outside Magic Realm.

When such a high-rank demon race appears it inevitably inflicted large damage.

This time it was a situation where a high-rank demon race even had a city below. The Grand Duke did not summon all captains for nothing.

‘Unpleasant.’

5th Battalion Captain Mark furrowed while looking at the red mist and held a spear.

Other captains also held weapons and were surrounding the red mist.

In the lead there was Adrianne.

‘No matter how Galahad a high-rank demon race······.’

Mark swallowed a thick mutter.

Although Mark also well knew Galahad’s capability, the opponent was a high-rank demon race.

No matter how Galahad a high-rank demon race was unreasonable.

However—.

‘It is Galahad···.’

Mark’s brows narrowed. A high-rank demon race one had to be captain level to catch.

Mark looked around. All captains gathered. The troops they brought were also considerable.

If catching a high-rank demon race in front of such large troops and all captains—.

‘The board would change again.’

Although Galahad received His Highness the Grand Duke’s recognition, that was honor.

Catching a high-rank demon race was proof of skill.

If Galahad who received the Grand Duke’s recognition even proves military force—.

‘Should have gone under.’

Mark muttered a joke for nothing.

The red mist all disappeared. The revealed appearance was quite terrible.

Corpses piled in places and even monsters as if made of corpses—. terrible to the extent North soldiers who saw many rough appearances vomit.

At the center of the tragedy there was Galahad. What held in Galahad’s hand was clearly a high-rank demon race.

‘Really caught a high-rank demon race—.’

Mark’s eyes became large as if tearing.

It was an amazing achievement. The problem—.

“Press a bit better.”

It was the point of receiving that high-rank demon race’s blood.

The Grand Duke’s legend rose. The story of the Grand Duke of the front line filling the stomach with magic beast flesh, and moistening the throat with blood—.

That was an expression of anger toward the demon race.

In contrast Galahad—.

‘······Laughing?’

Was widely laughing as if really liking the current situation and putting blood in the water bottle.

There was no anger in that expression.

Laughing like that and putting blood, rather more than the Grand Duke tearing the demon race’s flesh—.

'Hmm...'

The captains’ expressions were mysterious.

‘Proof······did?’

Catching a high-rank demon race was certain.

It was certain proof.

However—.

“Already filled two bottles. Now not even coming out more!”

“Even dry raisins if squeezing water comes out.”

‘This proved too much...’

Then, Adrianne stepped forward with a seongkeum.

*

“This is different from the plan.”

‘Angry.’

At Adrianne’s axe eyes Galahad clicked his tongue.

“Didn’t catch the ruler.”

“That is not the problem. Unlike the plan didn’t face alone. The original plan was holding the ruler until we join.”

Adrianne scolded while approaching with a seongkeum.

“Plans always change. What is important is the result.”

“There is no result without process. It is made by process accumulating. Captain Galahad could have been in danger.”

As lowering the head following Adrianne’s gaze a coat that became rags was seen. Between that blood was hardened.

‘The state is a mess.’

Places were torn and there were also pierced places. Although a serious injury, pain was not felt.

Because the inside was continuously hot as if burning from after drinking the high-rank demon race’s blood, there was no gap to feel pain.

However—.

“Still didn’t die though.”

Galahad answered while spreading both arms. Adrianne’s axe eyes became even stronger. Wrong answer. Galahad softly muttered.

“Could have died. Even if saying not Magic Realm, a high-rank demon race is a high-rank demon race. Facing that alone from the beginning did not make sense.”

Adrianne quickly said.

In conclusion Galahad caught the ruler. Although Galahad was greatly injured in that process, that was Galahad’s share.

Because the conclusion was good, usually would have roughly passed. Because it was not that oneself was injured.

Most of the ones Galahad experienced until now were so.

However, Adrianne rather became angrier.

“Did you say believe? Belief is the fruit of each other’s actions accumulating. How can I give belief?”

Adrianne’s words were orthodoxy.

Regardless of how the situation Galahad acting differently from the plan was fact.

“Sorry.”

“No matter how outstanding the ability······ yes?”

“Said sorry though.”

Adrianne’s eyebrows momentarily loosened. Soon Adrianne awkwardly fake coughed.

“······Not words said to hear the story of sorry.”

Adrianne said while stepping back one step.

“Oh, is that so. Actually it is a lie. Not sorry.”

Became axe eyes again. Galahad laughed with a keul keul and put the cigarette in his mouth.

“Originally thinking of binding, yet the guy called the ruler looked weaker than thought. Along with that seems there is also another scheme. Thought this is the best.”

“Yes, understood. Well done.”

Thought whether sarcasm, but Adrianne’s face was serious.

“Although Captain Galahad is wise so that judgment is mostly correct, Captain Galahad is also a person. One has no choice but to make mistakes. And that will act fatally.”

At Adrianne’s serious advice Galahad nodded.

“I will keep in mind.”

“Yes, I will process the rest.”

Adrianne slightly bowed her head and stepped back.

‘Is this the end.’

Usually there are after words, but Adrianne stepped back right away. Certainly broad. It seemed the Grand Duke’s blood entered a little.

‘···What said opening?’

The thing the fox mask guarded rose.

That Galahad processed the ruler at once was also that reason. Designed so the guy cannot play tricks.

Certainly the ruler was a picky guy. Did not let go of letting guard down to the last of the last.

However, persistence was Galahad’s specialty.

At some point the fox mask was beside. The fox mask who took off the mask was a fully excited face.

“What are you? Never heard of using the void’s magic so. Really copied seeing my authority? Even revised matching humans? In that short time?”

Amazement was full in the shooting fox’s voice.

It was a natural question. Because the fox mask does not know the time Galahad rolled inside the four-legged demon race, it would look like a genius of the century.

“Because cannot properly use the void’s power. Using as dual magic—. using void magic and other magic simultaneously? What is in the head? Can I open? I will open just a bit.”

“Wait. You, why are you here?”

“Because I want to be.”

The fox mask’s answer was confident.

“What the ruler said opening? Did one block?”

“Aha, that? It opened,”

At the indifferent answer Galahad’s eyes furrowed.

“Didn’t say not to open earlier?”

“The situation changed.”

The fox mask’s finger pointed at Galahad. At that Galahad’s eyes furrowed.

“What opened?”

“If saying not fun? Still you will like. Because a mage?”

“Like?”

At Galahad’s question the fox mask wrinkled its nose.

“The sun rising and setting cannot be blocked. Even snow melting. Oh my, said too much? Because that side is lovable.”

The fox mask’s gorgeous eyes drew an arc.

Although hurriedly flicked his finger, the fox mask had already disappeared.

‘The sun rising and setting cannot be blocked—.’

Among things related to the sun the most promising was ‘dawn’.

The words attached behind were subtle.

‘Snow melts?’

It was a subtle word. It would not be a simple meaning.

Although unpleasant, what is important now was not that.

‘What opened?’

The feeling was not good. Galahad moved mana.

‘The mana density is thickening.’

Soon found the place where the mana density is thickening.

Thump! Thump! Thump! the pill of pain roughly jumped. That running sound was larger than before. Because drank the high-rank demon race’s blood.

There unlike other places was a place where corpses overlapped bizarrely many.

“Is the body fine? Aigoo, isn’t it too scratched here and there?”

Gilbert grumbled and said. Behind that there was the Special Mission Unit, yet everyone the appearance was a mess.

However, somehow a relieved look was full. The other soldiers and captains behind that were also a similar atmosphere. It was the feeling of enjoying victory after the combat ended.

“Sir Gilbert, just good. Clear here a bit.”

“Yes? Yes.”

Gilbert pushed the corpses without grumbling. Even if blood and flesh stuck on the hand Gilbert did not grumble.

“This! Do for you?”

“Yes. Gwen, thank you.”

Gwen urgently stuck and handed mana.

Galahad’s nerves were fully focused on the place Gilbert is clearing.

‘The mana density is thick—.’

As clearing the corpses, a shabby wooden door was seen. It was an ordinary basement door.

“Isn’t this just a basement door?”

“Originally treasure is hidden in ordinary places. Ah, Gwen. Now enough.”

“Still less—.”

Pushed Gwen’s hand and stepped forward. At a glance it was an ordinary basement door. That handle was also old and such a form reluctant to touch.

However—.

‘Mana is continuously spraying from here.’

The density thickens. Hole, opened. Galahad combined the given clues.

The largest possibility—.

‘Connected the demon race’s area.’

It was a plausible assumption. Galahad took out the leather notebook in the pocket and examined.

[The North’s wall collapses.]

The North’s wall Galahad saw was solid and firm. That boundary was also strict. Such a thick wall could not be collapsed from outside.

‘One has to dig from inside,’

So needed the demon race’s city?

“What matter?”

First approached. Because forcibly shook off the ruler’s authority and used the sword, that state was quite a mess.

Galahad clicked his tongue softly and pointed at the door.

“There is something.”

“······What is there?”

Adrianne asked while shaking the sword. Dust fully rose from the sword.

At some point everyone’s gazes were focused. Unlike before the gazes were not impure. Although a few seemed avoiding the gaze—.

“Once one has to confirm.”

As Galahad tapped the handle with a tok tok, the door collapsed as is.

Below there existed thick darkness where nothing is seen.

That space’s width was narrow. At best degree two people can pass.

“Let’s go.”

First approached while turning the sword with a binggeul. That face was still serious.

“The body state is not good. This time I will go.”

Adrianne stepped forward. Those eyes were firm. Then First pointed at Adrianne.

“What matches well with Galahad is me. Didn’t see processing the high-rank demon race? You are rather interference.”

First said while raising the corners of his mouth.

Adrianne’s eyebrows went down. Soon Adrianne stepped back one step.

First who is from an agent matched hands and feet well. Because no need for words particularly, one had no choice but to be comfortable.

However, what is needed now was not well matching hands and feet.

“Adrianne. Let’s go.”

“Yes? Yes.”

Galahad threw the burning cigarette inside. It was deep to the extent the end is not seen.

“Two will go.”

Ending with that Galahad ran inside.

“Dangerous!”

Adrianne who was startled hurriedly followed running.

As the two disappeared right away, silence continued for a moment.

Pumpkin looked down that hole for nothing.

“Pumpkin.”

“······Why again.”

First spit hot breath. At an atmosphere as if will do some bullshit again Pumpkin softly muttered a curse.

“Did you see Adrianne raising the corners of her mouth just now?”

“······Why would Adrianne raise the corners of her mouth. It was expressionless.”

“No, clearly just now looking at me raised one corner of the mouth. It was mockery. Clearly—.”

“It is a misconception. Misconception.”

Pumpkin firmly dismissed the grumbling First.

"Clearly saw—."

*

‘Quite deep.’

Galahad fixed the collar and looked around.

Thud. A heavy sound was heard from behind.

“Jumping down from such a high place is dangerous.”

“Because I am a mage it is fine.”

“From next time I will jump first.”

“Will you receive from below?”

“Yes.”

“You, quite lewd.”

“······Yes?”

Galahad laughed and flicked his finger.

A small fire lit the surroundings. It was an artificial cave. The peculiar point was the wall was red.

The cave was all blood-stained.

“It is the demon race’s blood.”

Galahad who tasted that let out a groan.

“Why painted the demon race’s blood on the wall?”

“······Previously there was a time the castle gate the 2nd Battalion was in charge of was raided.”

Adrianne whose eyebrows fully went down carefully said.

“The raid occurred not from outside but from inside. Confirming one side of the castle wall was small pierced.”

“Was the demon race’s blood thickly stuck there?”

“······Yes? Yes.”

Adrianne nodded. Galahad quietly tapped the cigarette and examined the front.

An endlessly continued tunnel overlaid with the demon race’s blood—.

The outline was roughly caught.

“Mana flows from low density places to high density places.”

“Yes, I know.”

Galahad quietly looked at Adrianne.

“······Didn’t hear several times. I am not that Gilbert.”

“I see. However, because there is a threshold high density places continuously high, low places continuously low. For example one can know even looking at the demon race’s area. Placing one castle wall that density is completely different?”

“······Hmm.”

A moment later Adrianne nodded.

“Understood.”

“Yes, the demon race becomes stronger in places where the mana density is thick, and weakens in thin places.”

“Yes, understood.”

At Adrianne nodding Galahad tapped the cigarette.

“Come, then how should the demon race do to attack the North?”

Adrianne seriously pondered.

“Must raise the density.”

“Right. But moving the flow of mana in the air is not an easy matter. Only degree a magic tower lord can try, so not a matter the demon race would do.”

Adrianne looked with round eyes. Galahad quietly tapped the cigarette.

“Instead they have thick density blood.”

Galahad pointed at the wall with the cigarette.

The red-colored one-sided cave was a passage. A passage that induced the flow of mana with the demon race’s blood.

“Although stupid, it is that certain a method.”

To think of painting the demon race’s blood and making a mana passage—. had no choice but to acknowledge.

“Quite interesting.”

Galahad swept the wall with his hand. The demon race’s blood was sticky.

Even if the demon race’s blood the hardening speed is slower compared to human blood this degree was not. It seemed did other processing.

“······Is it that the North becomes the demon race’s area?”

Adrianne’s eyebrows fully furrowed. The expressionless broke and uneasiness rose.

“It is the correct answer.”

Galahad flicked his finger and laughed refreshingly.

“Isn’t it interesting? Making a mana passage with blood. It is a thought a mage absolutely cannot do. Certainly rational.”

At the excited voice Adrianne’s eyes stiffened.

Already knew that Galahad obsesses over magic to a fanatic degree.

However, feeling interest even in a situation where the North can collapse could not understand.

‘······Because not a Northerner?’

Adrianne quietly shook her head. It was Galahad who resolved the North’s problems leading at the forefront. It was not such a figure.

Still could not understand the so excited appearance.

“The demon race’s area increasing is a big matter.”

“Right, it is a very big matter. The demon race will become stronger, and appearances will become more frequent. The North will become the demon race’s yard. Such a joke done to the Grand Duke returning like this.”

At Galahad laughing with a keul keul Adrianne furrowed her eyes.

“Yet how laughing? It is a situation where the North collapses—.”

“Why does the North collapse?”

“······Yes?”

At Galahad’s counter Adrianne’s mouth was blocked.

Wasn’t that the story doing until just now?

“We will block the passage.”

Confidence was full on Galahad’s face as always.

‘······We?’

Adrianne softly muttered.

Then, Galahad flicked his finger.

“Ah, if there is no method at all one can just stand you so do not worry. Then mana cannot flow. Hmm, will you extend your hand a bit?”

At Galahad’s words Adrianne softly coughed.

What such a bizarre joke—.

“Not extending quickly what doing? Extend both sides straight. Whether touches.”

Adrianne’s eyebrows roughly shook.

“Extend.”

Adrianne pondered for a moment and extended her hands straight.

Galahad roughly coughed and laughed. At that Adrianne hurriedly lowered her hands.

“Because you seem too stiff.”

At the mischievous voice Adrianne tightly— chewed her lips.

“I will lead.”

Adrianne corrected the sword grip and stepped forward.

“Reliable.”

Refreshing lemon scent pushed away the disgusting fishy blood smell.
