Chapter 104

Touch

Adrianne was usually expressionless. Not just expressionless, but a frozen feeling.

But Galahad whose eyesight is excellent could notice that subtle change.

Adrianne expressed emotion with eyebrows. When the mood is bad the eyebrows go down and when good go up.

That was a very fine movement. To the extent hard to notice if not looking carefully.

When there is a matter really not to the liking became axe eyes. Even axe eyes putting strength inside the eyes was the end, but it was a quite amazing change.

Galahad thought that is all of Adrianne’s expression.

Yet—.

“······Yes?!”

‘When really surprised becomes rabbit eyes.’

As Adrianne’s bangs rose the already large eyes became larger. To the extent amazing whether human eyes can be that large.

“······Where are you asking to touch!”

“It is the left chest.”

“Not asking because not knowing that but—.”

“Just asking to touch the left chest with bare hands. You, what are you thinking now.” “······!”

Adrianne tightly closed her lips. On the reddened face even rabbit eyes—.

‘This might be difficult.’

Already knew that Adrianne is awkward at contact. Because it was Adrianne who stiffens as is even if just holding hands.

However, there was no time to explain one by one. From the beginning one could not explain that the high-rank demon race’s egg is in the chest.

At that Galahad with a serious face—.

“If not touching I die.”

Firmly said.

“······Is it that if not touching the chest one dies? No, what is that—.”

“It is sincere.”

As saying firmly again, Adrianne moved her lips. Although a look of not understanding, Galahad passed that.

Even now mana was moving. One had to block this as quickly as possible.

‘Gradually coming out again.’

Magic beast cries were heard from far away. That sound was larger than the guys who came out before.

The lowest-rank demon races that were near the castle wall came out first, and higher grade guys seemed coming following in turn.

It was the story of becoming exponentially difficult the more one drags time. One had to finish as quickly as possible.

The number of caves made of the demon race’s blood was too many. Even if physically collapsing, because the demon race’s blood remained mana would flow.

This the North guys who know nothing about magic could not block.

Regrettably now Galahad was there.

‘This much blood—. is it my birthday?’

At the end of the cave, in that place where countless forks divide there was a huge blood puddle. It was a quite large scale to call a puddle.

Although the rotten smell unique to the demon race blood fully rose, Galahad jumped down without hesitation.

Squelch! blood fully splashed. Coolness wet up to the waist, and a disgusting smell tickled the nose.

Galahad held the cigarette in his mouth and attached fire. How toxic the smell even the refreshing lemon scent could not push away. Clicked his tongue and turned the gold rod with a binggeul—.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! the pill of pain started jumping like crazy. The vision was dyed red.

Thud. Adrianne landed beside. Whether the blood puddle reflected the face was fully red.

Adrianne who hesitated for a moment looked at Galahad and nodded.

“I will touch.”

Resolute light was full on that face. Adrianne held out her hand, yet that hand fully trembled. Exactly an appearance as if doing bomb removal.

“······Not saying touch now, saying touch if I do strange actions.”

Galahad furrowed his eyes. At that Adrianne’s eyes greatly shook. Adrianne hurriedly hid her hand behind.

“Ah, yes! I will do my best.”

At the voice full of spirit Galahad furrowed his eyes.

‘Is this that degree of a matter?’

“Yes, I will ask.”

“Yes, I will definitely accomplish.”

Adrianne who resolutely nodded headed to the back. It was the place where magic beasts and demon races pour.

Galahad concentrated on the situation again.

Was thinking of making red mist using the blood puddle. So the continued demon race’s blood can be naturally absorbed—.

However, simply thick density red mist was insufficient.

If unfolding red mist one could block mana spreading to the entire North. Instead a thick density demon race’s area would arise here.

Rather might become a bigger problem.

Although the density is thick, it had to be not good for the demon race. It was a somewhat paradoxical story. Because if the density is thick it is natural good for the demon race too.

A method that the density is thick, but at the same time not good for the demon race—.

Hmm.

Galahad’s pondering was short.

‘If making this place a sea of fire it would do.’

A very hot sea of fire to the extent even the demon race cannot endure.

‘Like a boiler.’

The North was too cold.

Galahad corrected the grip on the gold rod.

The gold rod with a pointed end was quite good for drawing a magic circle.

‘It would be an amazing underfloor heating.’

Galahad fully raised the corners of his mouth.

*

‘Perfect.’

Galahad who finished the magic circle nodded.

Was planning to cast red mist first.

If casting red mist, the demon race’s blood would naturally follow and gather.

The problem was after that.

Fire that even the demon race burns was needed. However, fire that flickers once and burns was insufficient.

The answer regarding that was also Adrianne.

Adrianne’s nature used the demon race’s blood like fuel. Ate the demon race’s blood and grew the size more.

Galahad who researched Adrianne recalled a method.

Raising high density magic and combusting the incoming mana—.

‘Deforming hellfire.’

What is needed there was thick mana that can make an overwhelming gap.

‘Fortunately there is.’

Galahad shook the water bottle containing the ruler’s blood. A clear sound of sloshing was heard.

The demon race’s blood the higher the grade the more terrible the taste became.

Because of that the blood of the ruler who is a high-rank demon race was disgusting to a really terrible degree. It was the essence of disgust.

However, the terrible taste was not that big a problem.

The real problem was the destructive power contained in that blood.

Even when drinking six sips the body became rags. To perform the plan one had to drink at least two bottles.

It was clear the aftereffect would be strong to a hard to handle degree.

That was a kind that shakes the existence. Even if Galahad’s mental power is excellent it was quite picky to endure.

No, there was no need to endure.

Galahad slightly looked down.

Thump! the beat became large. That presence was clearly revealed.

‘Noisy.’

Thump! the pill of pain thickly laughed. The guy’s sinister laughter shook Galahad’s mind.

The pill of pain that ate the high-rank demon race’s blood fully acted up. As expected a simple guy.

Because of that easy to predict.

‘Absolutely do not rise arrogantly.’

Thump! the pill of pain jumped even larger as if sneering. Galahad desperately lowered the corners of his mouth.

Also prepared a countermeasure for a situation just in case.

‘Adrianne—.’

Galahad who finished the calculation opened the lid of the water bottle and poured into the mouth.

Hot heat flowed along the throat. The mind roughly shook.

‘Give.’

The pill of pain violently scattered mana. Unlike before the feeling of discarding was strong. This is yours—.

Galahad corrected the grip on the gold rod.

The magic circle was completed. What is needed was thick density mana to start the engine.

‘Making a fuss.’

At the intense impulse Galahad furrowed his eyes.

That basis was hellfire. Improved hellfire matching the use.

From the beginning hellfire was magic no different from what Galahad made, so not that difficult.

‘A bit weaker, but so one can burn long. That range following mana—.’

Although magic based on hellfire, yet completely different magic.

A new name was needed.

For example—.

“That would be good.”

The corners of Galahad’s mouth crooked.

*

Adrianne liked the sword. Because when swinging the sword other thoughts did not rise.

The sword was her refuge, and the most familiar coolness.

Clearly was so, yet now even slicing demon races with the sword stray thoughts continuously rose. Galahad’s bizarre request fully dug Adrianne’s head.

Adrianne’s nature burned the mana of the one it touches. Even one who is not a mage if touching Adrianne experienced terrible pain.

Because of that vicious nature there was no matter of contacting.

To Adrianne who is awkward even the warmth when holding hands Galahad’s request was a quite burdensome matter.

To Adrianne wandering Magic Realm alone was an easier option.

‘Would not do so without any reason.’

Although Galahad who plays many mischievous pranks usually, there was a reason in that action.

Now it was a situation where the North’s survival is at stake. It would be sincere.

However—.

‘······The chest? How?’

Realized late that did not ask the detailed policy. Adrianne was frustrated.

Whether just has to touch, or like loosening muscles—.

Adrianne hurriedly shook her head.

The demon races entering through the hole gradually became stronger. There was no choice. Because the demon races in the outermost would come out first.

As time passes the demon races inside would also come out.

If the North becomes the demon race’s area, the North might collapse.

It was a clear crisis.

The measure to overcome this was Galahad.

What Adrianne has to do—.

“······Ugh.”

The inside surged. Somehow the head also seemed aching.

Adrianne slightly examined the back.

Galahad was standing in the center of the puddle made of blood. Noble and confident as always.

That face was not good. It was fully furrowed. Exactly as if forcibly enduring pain, continuously trembled the body. Blood vessels fully rose.

It was Galahad whose state is already not good. It was clear doing reckless.

“Heating.”

Galahad struck down the gold rod.

Thud.

‘The blood is moving.’

The huge puddle around Galahad started boiling. Exactly as if applying fierce heat continuously bubbled.

The demon race’s blood rose. Red smoke gradually spread. The smoke that was thin at first thickened in an instant.

“Circulation.”

Galahad struck down the gold rod forcefully again.

Thud! then the red mist spread in an instant. That was like a fierce snowstorm. The blood on the floor boiled more violently.

Galahad opened the water bottle. That hand trembled with a deol deol. Fully felt doing reckless.

Although had to stop, Adrianne could not do so.

Not simply because the North’s survival is at stake on Galahad.

What Adrianne could not stop was because Galahad really widely laughed.

To think of being able to make such an expression—.

Adrianne softly was surprised.

Then, Galahad put the water bottle in his mouth. The throat continuously rippled. Following that blood vessels fully rose.

The corners of Galahad’s mouth fully rose.

Chill—. Adrianne felt coolness even more than when facing the ruler.

A creak sound came from Adrianne’s hand holding the sword.

Galahad raised his head up. Red blood flowed along that mouth area.

Adrianne chewed her lips.

Must stop. No—.

‘Must block.’

Adrianne had to desperately press the instinctive warning.

Then, Galahad highly lifted the gold rod.

And—.

“Hell.”

Whispered in a voice mixed with laughter and flicked his finger.

Fire rose from the gold rod.

That was a very small ember to the extent the tension until now is colorless.

A thin ember to the extent soon extinguishing in the wind—.

‘Dangerous.’

Adrianne felt clear danger.

Then, the small ember left the gold rod. The ember floated in the air like a fluttering spore. Seemed extinguishing right away.

That moment the red mist and the ember touched.

The red mist that filled the cave and the small ember that does not even become one finger joint—. which of the two is superior was clear.

However, the result was the opposite. To the ember the red mist was food. It was oil. It was a host.

The ember tore and ate the red mist and grew the build in an instant.

A huge fire rose in the center of the cave. How intense that strength to the extent the huge cave momentarily becoming hot.

The time taken for that was a moment degree blinking the eyes.

The fire that fully rose in the center of the cave did not stop there. As if thinking of catching and burning all, started spreading all around.

The numerous small caves around the cave were also no exception. The fire explored all places as if not missing even one. Greedily ate.

It was not simple fire. It was vicious fire that does not extinguish until burning all the moment attaching.

The vicious fire even charged at Adrianne. Hot heat poured at Adrianne.

Adrianne urgently fully raised aura. Aura rose more intensely than when facing the demon race.

Pure white aura wrapped Adrianne. It was aura possessing the nature of burning evil.

This was clear magic, so clear would burn.

Yet—.

‘······Pushed.’

Adrianne’s aura was pushed.

Adrianne’s eyes became large.

Magic that wins one’s nature—.

Adrianne was sincerely flustered.

As urgently raising aura larger, only then the fire was pushed.

Hot heat filled the cave.

The demon races and magic beasts that were behind Adrianne were eaten by the fire as is. The heat became even fiercer as if the demon race is fuel.

The fire that ate the demon races and magic beasts fully filled even the hole behind.

All around was full of vicious fire. The cries of angry demon races and magic beasts were heard here and there.

This—.

‘Is hell.’

Adrianne’s eyes narrowed.

So to avoid the demon race’s area—.

‘······Made hell?’

Adrianne recalled Galahad’s request.

If this degree of fire Galahad was also in danger. Adrianne urgently ran toward Galahad.

Unlike worry Galahad was fine.

No, rather the state looked better than before.

The problem—.

‘······White hair?’

Galahad’s appearance was different from before.

The hair was flowing white hair. The eyes were fully red as if holding blood.

Not simply the exterior changed. That momentum was different.

Originally Galahad was a neat noble. Overflowing with leisure and dignity and always the posture upright.

Yet now a sinister look was full. The hair that always neatly passed was fully disheveled, and the corners of the mouth were savage. In the eyes a ferocious look like a beast was full.

Then, Galahad made a savage smile.

“Keuhahaha, finally my era has arrived. Everyone prostrate under my feet. Trivial things. Feel the infinite power.”

Spouted bizarre sounds not words Galahad would say.

Along with that that momentum was subtle.

That was exactly—.

‘Middle-rank demon race?’

No, somewhat subtle to say a demon race. Although a human yet a feeling close to a demon race.

“Hey, female.”

Then, the guy in Galahad’s form pointed at Adrianne.

Daring using such a word in Galahad’s appearance—. Adrianne’s eyes fully furrowed.

Then—.

“Infinite power—. hmm?”

The guy looked down and tilted its head. Tapped its own chest with a tok tok. Soon as if stuffy tore the coat. The upper body was fully revealed.

It was a firm body full of dry muscles. Yet scars were dense on that. Rougher than the North’s warriors who lived a lifetime on the front line.

‘What on earth life······.’

The guy’s stomach roughly rippled. Creak, creak a bizarre sound continuously spread. At that the guy widely opened its mouth. Between that small breath leaked.

Soon—.

“Kkeuaaaak! Kkeuaaaaaak! Iik! Aaaak!”

The guy burst a vicious scream, and overturned on the floor as is.

The guy could not even spit a scream and twisted its body.

It was clear the strange action Galahad said.

‘Strange action. Chest. Bare hands.’

Adrianne firmly nodded. Slowly took off the gauntlet. Took out a handkerchief and roughly wiped the hands.

And carefully sat beside Galahad.

At the roughly revealed upper body Adrianne swallowed dry saliva,

Adrianne’s hands were a curse. Very vicious hands where the one it touches experiences terrible pain.

Clear would be so yet—.

'My hands helping.'

Adrianne could not understand.

It was a natural story. Because it was Adrianne who suffered pain from this cursed nature a lifetime.

Still since Galahad said needed—.

‘I will believe.’

Soon Adrianne made a firm resolution. Slowly held out her hand. Because of the heat the face was hot. Seemed bursting.

‘This is a request.’

Adrianne tightly closed her eyes.

Then a firm curve was felt.

Beyond that a beat was felt.

It was the beat of another first felt.

Then—.

“Did not say massage.”

A calm voice was heard.

Opening the eyes, there was Galahad of a tired face.

“You, quite lewd.”

Adrianne moved her lips with a beonggeot, and just tightly closed her eyes.
