Chapter 105

Giddyup

‘Tingling.’

Galahad fully furrowed his eyes.

Drinking the demon race’s blood was different from directly eating the egg.

Eating the egg was the feeling of giving to catch and eat the living. Because there was also a possibility of being caught and eaten it was dangerous.

In contrast drinking the demon race’s blood was the same as giving food.

When receiving the Grand Duke’s recognition, there was also a time drank the highest-rank demon race’s blood. At that thought one can also handle the high-rank demon race’s blood.

That was a clear miscalculation.

A high-rank demon race was a completely different existence from a highest-rank demon race.

Not simply a difference of one grade. The species was different.

The high-rank demon race’s blood was not something the current Galahad can handle.

No different from giving 1000kg to a person who lifts 10kg. Beyond the muscles tearing would be crushed.

Instead if recovering would increase radically, but that was the story of when endured.

Because the purpose of igniting the magic circle, one could use momentarily.

The problem was after that.

Because could not handle the high-rank demon race’s blood, the mana circuit would become rags. It was clear a terrible side effect would rise.

To erase the side effect there was a need to cleanly erase after using. Fortunately Adrianne was there.

However, burning the remaining high density mana in the mana circuit that became rags would be very viciously painful.

That was not something possible with simply mental power.

Fortunately, there was the pill of pain high-spirited from eating the high-rank demon race’s blood.

Galahad deliberately handed the initiative to the pill of pain. As expected the pill of pain came out excitedly, and took the aftereffect Galahad would have suffered.

And even Adrianne—.

It was a clean plan.

And now—.

‘Doing press press.’

Galahad clicked his tongue at Adrianne pressing the chest with a kkuk kkuk.

“······Did not give guidelines on how to touch. So did with the feeling of loosening muscles.”

Adrianne whose face reddened as if bursting quickly said.

Galahad clicked his tongue and examined the surroundings.

No matter where looking fire was full. Although that heat was intense to the extent of burning the demon race, yet not to hellfire.

It was appropriate hellfire that continuously burns.

‘Success.’

Galahad satisfactorily nodded.

“Are you fine—.”

Adrianne’s blue pupils stared at Galahad’s face.

Fine—. it was a situation of eating two bottles of the high-rank demon race’s blood. Along with that fully burned that residue. There was no way fine.

It was terrible pain to the extent even Galahad a groan comes out on its own.

However, the plan succeeded and did not die either.

So—.

“Fine.”

Galahad put strength in the body. The muscles screamed beyond and wailed. Even though just standing in place the body staggered.

‘Damn.’

However, moved.

That was enough.

Then—.

“······You, what are you doing.”

Adrianne squatted in front of Galahad. At the appearance of even kneeling Galahad furrowed his eyes.

“Get on.”

Adrianne’s voice was firm.

“I can walk alone.”

“Unreasonable. Get on.”

Adrianne turned only her head, and stared at Galahad. Those upright blue eyes were firm.

At that Galahad hesitated for a moment and nodded.

“Since you ask so, no choice.”

“Yes.”

Even jokes did not work. Galahad clicked his tongue softly and got on Adrianne’s back.

It was a truly unfamiliar sense. The coolness of the armor tickled Galahad. Adrianne covered her own coat.

“I will go.”

Adrianne held out the sword. Aura spread around riding the sword. The fire split left and right.

Hell splitting at pure white aura—. it was a quite stylish appearance.

Adrianne kicked the ground. Along with a heavy sound the figure long slid.

It was speed beyond the human area. As expected a sword master.

Galahad who got on Adrianne’s back received a subtle feeling.

Adrianne always stood at the forefront. That back appearance was large and reliable. It was one where the title of hero is not lacking.

Yet actually getting on, it was smaller than thought.

“You, smaller than thought.”

“Yes? Did not hear.”

“No.”

Although all around full of fire, there was no small influence to Galahad either. A little warmth and coolness was all.

“Until when does the fire continue?”

“If mana all disappears it will extinguish. Because used the high-rank demon race’s thick mana, for a while continuously suck mana······.”

Galahad roughly coughed. Blood long flowed from that mouth.

“Are you fine?!”

“Because there is a lot of dust. To continue the story doing, while continuously expanding the area continuously pull mana. Because many demon races entered.”

Adrianne kicked the ground. Softer than before. It seemed caring about the steps.

“Would stop only after all the demon race’s areas around burn.”

“Is it that rather the demon race’s area would reduce?”

“Right. Because reversely used their number.”

“Using the enemy’s trick rather—. really amazing.”

It was admiration full of sincerity. Galahad furrowed his eyes.

“Now knew? I am originally amazing.”

“Heuheum!”

“You, now laughed?”

“······I will raise the speed.”

Wind tickled the face.

To think a human can run at this speed—. Galahad sincerely admired.

This rather than a human—.

“You, not inferior even as a horse.”

“······Yes?!”

Adrianne sharply countered.

“Giddyup!”

“······.”

“It is a joke.”

“······.”

“You, sulking?”

At Adrianne kicking the ground instead of answering Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

Sulking.

****

The 6th Battalion’s commotion was being organized to some extent. As the ruler was processed, the 6th Battalion soldiers coming to their senses was large.

The North did not grieve at a colleague’s death. Got angry instead of tears.

The soldiers howled like beasts and tore the demon race and magic beast corpses to shreds.

The captains gathered in front of the ruler’s corpse. That atmosphere was quite subtle.

There was no choice. Because the mage they ignored as the demon race’s byproduct caught a high-rank demon race.

That Galahad received the Grand Duke’s recognition, there was room of because a mage fine even if drinking the demon race’s blood— or something.

But catching a high-rank demon race this time was clear proof of skill.

The problem was not simply catching a high-rank demon race.

Galahad smiling and taking care of the high-rank demon race’s blood somehow recalled His Highness the Grand Duke.

‘No, rather more than His Highness the Grand Duke—.’

5th Battalion Captain Mark softly muttered.

His Highness the Grand Duke moving all the captains was truly after a long time.

The captains sensed the seriousness of the situation and responded as quickly as possible.

Yet when the captains arrived it was no different from the situation ended.

The ruler Galahad caught, and the demon races and magic beasts the ruler ruled were gathered around Galahad.

What they did was only suppressing the 6th Battalion’s survivors.

And arriving, Galahad took Adrianne and disappeared underground.

Eventually, the captains were just waiting still.

It was captains who resolved and moved. In contrast a somehow bland feeling was quite subtle.

“There is almost no damage to the soldiers. Although many injured, the dead are few. Most degree of injured in the leg and unable to move.”

At the soldier’s report the captains’ faces furrowed even more.

“······While facing a high-rank demon race, even looking after the soldiers? Does that make sense?”

The 8th Battalion Captain counter with a reluctant. It was a natural question.

Looking after even the soldiers’ situation while facing a high-rank demon race, Mark also hard to believe.

The subtle atmosphere deepened even more. The captains exchanged gazes. Everyone a look of not believing.

“Isn’t one has to go down. Adrianne’s life is precious.”

The 3rd Battalion Captain turned the topic.

Although Galahad said do not come, they were captains. There was no reason to follow Galahad’s order.

At that Mark stepped forward.

“Isn’t waiting better.”

As Mark stepped forward the captains furrowed their eyes.

“Young ones with long days to live waiting is insufficient.”

7th Battalion Captain Bellogrim also stood beside.

Then, the back became hot. A moment the surroundings became bright.

Everyone’s heads turned simultaneously. The captains’ eyes became large. At that Mark who turned his head—.

‘······?’

Opened his mouth with a jjeok.

Fire spewed as if vomiting from underground. It was not simple fire. It was fire with strong heat to the extent the captains momentarily stepping back.

It was the place Adrianne and Galahad entered. Fire burning so from there—.

“Water! Bring! Quickly!”

Mark urgently ordered. At that the soldiers who were frozen moved busily.

“This is not just fire.”

The man called First who was with Galahad stepped forward.

“Not just fire?”

“It is fire full of mana. Not simple magic. This—.”

First said with a serious face and held out his hand. As touching the fire the gauntlet melted in an instant. First’s eyes became large. Quickly withdrew the hand.

“Very vicious fire.”

First said while hiding his hand behind.

Although a bizarre explanation, that it is not ordinary fire everyone could know.

Because that spreading heat was to a tingling degree, one could not not know.

It was a question why saying obvious sounds.

Then, the soldiers brought water and poured, yet the fire far from extinguishing rather grew the size more. Exactly as if getting angry—.

At the intense heat everyone moved their mouths with a beonggeot.

“Was there more high-rank demon race.”

At someone’s mutter everyone swallowed dry saliva.

The captains each corrected their weapons. Fully raised aura. It was momentum of cutting even fire and entering.

Then—.

“Thinned!”

The fire that was violently undulating weakened. The fire that gradually weakened soon disappeared.

At that the moment the captains tried to run—.

Adrianne roughly came out destroying the hole.

Adrianne’s appearance was pathetic. The face was full of sweat and black ash was mottled on the white armor. Someone was on that back.

It was Galahad wrapped in Adrianne’s coat. That face was not good. Blood vessels fully rose, and the lips were purple.

Even though the complexion is not good the faint smile was still.

“Gwen!”

Galahad shouted. Then the woman wearing a maid uniform ran out.

“Yes! I will do right away!”

Gwen lowered the coat. Then Galahad’s bare body was fully revealed. That appearance was different from expectation.

Galahad was a neatly handsome noble. It was an impression opposite the rough and starving North. That influence was also there in Galahad being excluded in the North.

Yet scars were full on the revealed upper body. In the North scars were pride. Because evidence of surviving—.

However, they also were not that severe.

'What on earth that—.'

Gwen tried to put her hand on Galahad’s back, yet because short could not reach. At that Adrianne bent her knees.

“Thank you! Haat!”

Gwen who expressed thanks diligently pounded Galahad’s back. Every time pounding Galahad’s complexion improved in real time.

Then, fire rose again from the hole. The fire was larger and more violent than before. To the extent the dark night brightening.

“There is still high-rank demon race left.”

Resoluteness perched on the captains’ faces. The soldiers corrected their weapons. Found a target to get angry at.

Then, Galahad shook his head.

“Ah, that is not high-rank demon race, it is magic.”

At Galahad’s calm explanation the captains’ expressions became subtle.

That huge fire pillar not high-rank demon race but magic—. what is that······.

“It is my magic. How cool? Will burn long long.”

Galahad explained in a somehow proud voice.

At that the captains’ eyes alternately moved. Looked at the huge fire pillar rising behind, and looked at Galahad.

So that huge fire pillar as if melting the 6th Battalion—.

“······Is it that that side did?”

Liam asked in a reluctant voice.

Galahad fully raised the corners of his mouth.

“Yes. It is not simple magic. Because bringing mana along the passage connected to the demon race’s area and burning, not one-time but continuous magic. About several years will be maintained.”

Galahad’s voice looked somehow excited. Exactly like when putting the ruler’s blood in the water bottle—.

“Come, isn’t it warm? In professional terms it is underfloor heating.”

Galahad laughed while pointing at the fierce fire pillar.

Earlier taking care of the high-rank demon race’s blood, this time lighting such fire in the 6th Battalion underground and asking isn’t it warm—?

‘The captains would avoid in another meaning.’

Mark reluctantly examined the captains.

Although the captains were desperately expressionless, that gaze was all avoiding Galahad.

Exactly as if must not meet gazes with Galahad—.

“Now fine. Put down.”

“No. Rest is needed.”

“No—.”

“Stay still.”

At the firm Adrianne Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

****

The fox mask hummed a nasal song. Recently the mood was very good. Because interesting matters continuously occurred.

‘Galahad—.’

A guy who not enough using hellfire, even copied the fox mask’s authority—.

Only 10 days. The guy revised the void’s magic matching his taste in 10 days.

‘Is it more genius than the First Mage.’

The fox mask hummed.

‘Fallen for the dusk’s kid, if informing this how would it be.’

Happy imagination continued.

“Looking good mood.”

A dry voice broke the thoughts. It was an expressionless man.

“Even losing the ruler.”

“Oh my, are you scolding? I finished what I was in charge of. Surely anxious it would fail?”

Although clear provocation, the man’s reaction was indifferent.

“My plan has no way of failing. So that person attached you. Even if you cause accidents my plan is perfect.”

The man’s answer was trite and boring. Said the same words every time.

However, it was fact. Because the man’s plan was perfect.

That the fox mask acted as it pleased was also because the man is there.

Because the man’s plan had never failed until now. Not called perfect for nothing.

However—.

“Better not let guard down.”

It was a matter Galahad was entangled.

“My plan is perfect. Even the ruler arbitrarily opening the door is under me.”

The man’s answer was indifferent. Exactly as if conveying fact.

‘Heung, not fun.’

Did not want to be with this guy because of this—.

“Trivial North guys cannot block.”

“The opponent is not a North guy.”

“Irrelevant. Even if the dusk’s kid comes.”

No matter how many times poking the man’s answer was still indifferent.

The fox mask long yawned. Although wanted Galahad to cause a matter, that was impossible.

Because the man’s plan was perfect.

‘Although not knowing from now on.’

The fox mask raised the corners of its mouth.

It was Galahad who handles hellfire, and even learned the void.

There was a possibility of learning the remaining two too. Of course, would be impossible, but just in case—.

‘If completing all four?’

If showing that Galahad to the First Mage—.

At the fatal thrill the fox mask softly trembled.

The bead placed in front shone. It was a bead informing the situation.

If success green, if failure red.

Because the result was obvious, the fox mask did not even look.

Although put Galahad in the mouth, not particularly expecting.

Because this matter was a plan the perfect man prepared for a long period, there was no way of failing.

Udeudeuk—. the sound of grinding teeth was heard.

The fox mask raised its head.

The area around the man’s mouth was cracked. It was the first crack the expressionless man showed.

‘Why?’

The bead was red.

Red was failure.

It was the moment the man’s plan failed for the first time.

“Daring who—.”

The man stood with a flash from the seat. The man who never excited for the first time showed an intense reaction.

Following letters rose on the bead.

That—.

“Galahad.”

The man muttered as if recalling several times.

Come to think of it strange. Galahad was a hot name in the North. It was a name that should have come up to dawn long ago.

Yet turning only now—. was someone blocking?

No, there was no way.

To block that the top layer of dawn had to intervene. Galahad was still small for such an existence to care.

Anyway, it was the moment Galahad’s name first came up to dawn.

“Galahad.”

The man continuously recalled the name.

Would not be able to forgive Galahad who broke one’s perfection—.

“My plan is perfect—.”

The fox mask imitated the man’s voice and giggled.
