Chapter 122

Hunter

“Truly a festival after a long time.”

Gilbert refreshingly laughed while turning the axe with a binggeul.

There was no answer. Turning the head, Damien was in a state of putting something a lot in the mouth.

“Eat one by one. One by one.”

At Damien diligently chewing Gilbert clicked his tongue.

“Ohmye?”

“Yes, long time.”

Originally the North liked festivals. If a soldier dies to the demon race held a festival to commemorate the death, if catching the demon race held a festival to congratulate.

Although the North that loved festivals, as the circumstances rapidly became bad the festival disappeared.

The last festival—.

‘It was the crown prince time.’

It was when the crown prince came looking for Adrianne.

Although could not acknowledge giving Adrianne to the empire guy, because there is also the North’s situation and the opponent was also the crown prince the opinions divided.

Yet the crown prince made a mess and—.

‘Became a mess.’

“Where is hyung?”

“Hyung? Are you saying the captain.”

Damien largely nodded. At that Gilbert scratched his nose.

“Said enjoy the festival taking you. Said will call if needed. Said there are many matters.”

“Matters?” “Yes, because tomorrow is the engagement ceremony. Naturally there would be many things to do.”

“How does uncle know that?”

“What sound is that?”

“Uncle has no woman.”

Gilbert’s eyes fully furrowed.

“Why thinking so? I popularity is many.”

“No way.”

“What? No way? This kid. Because I devoted life to the sword. Do you know how many women approached?”

“Wasn’t it spies?”

At Damien’s question Gilbert dry coughed.

“······Not all were spies.”

“Then?”

“This kid guy picking at every word end!”

“There was none.”

Keuheum! A mannerless kid—. Gilbert muttered.

Because Damien purely questions, even hitting was ambiguous.

“Still fine. Uncle will meet a good person someday.”

“······Is that so?”

Gilbert’s eyebrows slightly shook. Damien nodded.

“Earn a lot of money. Our mom said so. If a man has a lot of money, popularity becomes many. Soon will become many popularity.”

“······That is more unpleasant. Bastard.”

Pik—. Damien raised the corners of his mouth. Recently often made such laughter. Much better than the previous appearance without emotion but—.

“Cannot raise both corners of the mouth? Why keep raising only one corner of the mouth?”

“Said mockery is raising only one corner of the mouth.”

“Damn kid to hit.”

“It is a joke. Because uncle is a good person. Will meet a good woman.”

Gilbert’s eyes loosened again. Keuheum! Gilbert desperately coughed.

“Rather I am the worry.”

Damien said in a sullen voice. At that Gilbert’s eyes sank.

Damien was also eventually a kid. Because an orphan and a child without even connection, enough to be pessimistic about one’s situation.

Gilbert urgently chose words. Felt stuffy that the speech skill is insufficient.

Because of carefulness Damien’s mouth opened first.

“Because handsome there would be many women. How to choose.”

At Damien’s serious pondering Gilbert’s words were blocked. Soon Gilbert’s face fully furrowed.

Because Damien’s face was quite serious, even getting angry was difficult. Damien’s words were not wrong. Damien even though a kid the features were clear.

“Unlucky kid.”

Then, a huge explosion occurred from one side. The sky brightened. Gorgeous lights fully painted the sky.

The head of the big head firefly magic beast if attaching fire gorgeously bursts. Because that appearance is stylish used at festivals in the North.

If attaching fire to the magic beast head and throwing to the sky, filled the sky so coolly.

“Would the captain be with Lady Adrianne.”

“Probably not. Hyung went alone earlier.”

“Is that so?”

Gilbert who was nodding suddenly felt a question.

“Yet the captain is hyung and why am I uncle?”

“Because hyung is handsome and uncle is ugly.”

Piyuuuung—.

“······Damn kid.”

The gorgeous light sprayed from the explosion painted Gilbert’s face.

Peong!

*

Peoeong!

At the explosion sound James fully chewed his lips.

It was a dark place where even the moon does not rise. A collapsed wall, fire reflected on the stagnant dirty water pooled below that.

It was a concise light not gorgeous. Red blood splashed. The snow that was on the wall was painted red. Steam rose. The blood smell pushed the filth smell.

“Keuk—.”

The man holding the sword opened his eyes wide and collapsed. What the infamous inspection room agent left was only the death throes.

Cheolpeodeok. As the agent prostrated on the floor dirty water splashed.

Tak, a small ember rose. Huu—. the sound of deeply sucking breath. Fire attached to the cigarette. Galahad’s face was seen in the ember of the cigarette.

There was no small emotion on Galahad’s face. It was expressionless. Like when a restaurant owner stirs the stew—.

‘This is that Galahad—.’

James heard until the ears tingle regarding ‘Galahad’. Because the agent name is Galahad.

The operation section chief was the worst. The operation section chief explained how terrifying a figure Galahad is whenever there is a gap.

Among them what most emphasizes is the story that Galahad killed dozens without even a weapon. Without changing even one expression—.

That was a story hard to believe even for James who longs for Galahad.

A mage was not a profession suitable for combat. Because one has to chant spells and also calculate complex formulas—.

What solves that is the magic tool. The staff simply shortened the process of the formula.

Killing dozens without such a magic tool—. it was a story hard to believe.

At Galahad smoking the cigarette and passing the front hair James swallowed dry saliva.

James now seemed knowing why the operation section chief emphasized killing dozens ‘without even one expression’.

More than that magic skill, that expressionless felt more fearful.

“You.”

“······Yes!”

At Galahad’s pointing James was startled and answered.

“The unnecessary permissions in magic are too many. If unfolding to a knight the neck would fall before chanting the spell.”

Galahad indifferently evaluated. Although a harsh evaluation, James had no choice but to nod.

“Still not the worst. Strive.”

Galahad lightly said while tapping the cigarette. It was deeply engraved to James.

Piyuuuuung!

Peoeong!

From afar a huge flame burst. The dark space brightened.

Galahad between the corpses looked up at that. From afar laughter and shouts were heard. Because the distance is far a sense of disparity was felt.

Galahad who shook the collar moved steps.

Galahad disappeared into the thick darkness in the opposite direction of the gorgeous lights.

Handsome and James exchanged gazes. Unlike Galahad the two’s appearance was a mess. It was a mess of blood and mud.

Galahad’s words that three is sufficient was a lie.

Did not need up to three.

Galahad alone was sufficient.

What Galahad entrusted to them was one.

‘Corpse processing—.’

Putting into the building debris, or burying, processing the corpses somehow was their mission.

Tak. A small light rose from inside.

The continued death throes urged them.

Follow.

The two moved heavy steps.

*

The inspection room agent was different from agents of other departments.

Although agents basically receive training of excluding emotions, the inspection room that intensity was strong. Because the main work is retiring the same agents.

The inspection room agent who participated in the mission was just a shot arrow.

Retiring the opponent, or they retiring—. one of the two.

Galahad was also the same as them.

Dying, or killing.

Galahad preferred the latter.

The moment trying to suck the cigarette, the dirty water shook. A long spear jumped out while cutting the dirty water. It was an iron lump without even a small decoration. Faithful to the purpose of piercing the opponent’s heart—.

‘This,’

Galahad furrowed his eyes. When dealing with aura one must not try to block. Aura cuts magic.

Galahad twisted his body. The spear narrowly brushed the chest. A burning pain rose.

Coolness was felt from the left. There was another guy behind too.

‘Grasping me.’

The inspection room guys were picky because of this. The guys were guys thoroughly matched to retirement.

The guys were throwing one by one and exploring. Finding out how much this side’s force, what way fighting and making the estimate.

‘Making my estimate.’

Galahad twisted the corners of his mouth and flicked his finger.

‘Became a lot arrogant.’

The sword aiming at Galahad’s back twisted. That aura twisted and became faster. The sword swept the spear.

Chaeng! A sharp sound was heard and sparks roughly splashed. Astonishment rose on the face of the agent holding the spear. In those pupils the agent behind was seen.

An ice awl was accurately stuck in the hand of the agent behind.

“How—.”

Galahad flicked his finger instead of answering. An explosion occurred from the elbow of the agent holding the spear. The spear deeply pierced.

Puuk—. a heavy sound was heard from behind. Although the heart was pierced by the spear, the sword did not stop and aimed at Galahad.

‘Still the same.’

Galahad clicked his tongue and pulled the hand of the agent holding the spear. An unpleasant resistance rose riding the cool hand. The sword stopped.

The agent retrieved the spear. Although a very fast recovery even though just pierced a colleague—.

On the death line even a fleeting moment was long.

Tak, the spear stopped. Galahad let go of the hand. The agent collapsed as is. Galahad slightly moved and avoided.

Agents prostrated side by side front and back. Dirty water wet the thighs.

The surroundings were gray monotone. Between that white snow and red traces were briefly placed.

Although at least over thirty would be following, not even a small breath sound was made.

Even if other agents die there was no fine reaction either. Just in the middle of hiding and peeking at the opportunity.

If Galahad shows even a little gap, would be shot right away.

A tingling tension tickled the back.

Piyuuuuung!

Peoeong!

‘Doing the engagement ceremony once quite hard.’

Galahad deeply sucking the cigarette—.

Mechanically flicked his finger.

Tak.

*

‘Oh my god.’

James spit a mutter full of astonishment.

The number of agents that came out one by two suddenly increased. The inspection room agents started the attack in earnest.

Galahad was surrounded by agents.

Wounds slowly increased on Galahad’s body too.

However, Galahad was still firm. Instead the corpses of the inspection room agents piled.

A mage cannot win against a knight. It was a natural story. Because the aura that is the power of belief cuts magic.

However, that was not a story that applies to Galahad.

Galahad avoided the sword and stuck magic. Not only the bizarre magic as if jumping over space was all.

Galahad’s combat method was bizarre. Galahad tenaciously aimed at places the sword cannot reach.

Exactly as if exactly knowing the weakness—.

That was not combat.

It was hunting.

‘A mage hunting a knight—.’

No, can one call that a mage? Isn’t it a knight who uses magic?

James swallowed dry saliva with a kkeulkeok.

Five agents fell simultaneously. The inspection room agent was elite. Such agents’ swords tangled in the air.

It was a mistake the inspection room agent would not do. That was not a mistake.

‘Aiming at the joints—.’

Galahad’s magic aimed at the knight’s joints. Caused an explosion at the wrist or knee at the accurate moment. No matter how a knight one could not defend all places.

Particularly in the case of inspection room agents who store aura even more—.

Galahad accurately aimed at that gap.

Lightning accurately fell where the swords tangled. Although Galahad’s magic was fast to an incomprehensible degree, the lightning just now did not make sense.

That—.

‘Calculating all movements.’

It was combat according to prediction and calculation. Galahad expected the sword and moved matching that. It was the reason there is no small excess in the movement.

Even while seeing could not believe. From the beginning the seed was different. There was no way such a thing is possible by effort.

Still while looking at Galahad’s combat, something itched. Seemed knowing a bit why saying there are many permissions in James’s magic.

“On earth what human doing?”

Handsome said in a voice full of astonishment.

James also did not exactly know what work Galahad did in the Information Bureau. However, there were words the operation section chief occasionally said.

“The operation section chief told. No, now not sir. The operation section chief said—.”

James said while not taking his eyes off Galahad.

“Heard it was work of retiring.”

“Isn’t that the inspection room?”

At Handsome’s counter James clicked his tongue. Being this stupid—.

“The inspection room is targeting agents. The upper grade, section chief, team leader, room chief, further—.”

James swallowed the after words.

“Keuheum anyway, heard it was such an agent who even retires the inspection room room chief.”

At James’s explanation Handsome’s face stiffened.

‘An agent who even retires the inspection room—.’

Isn’t it like some Information Bureau ghost story.

Yet—.

“Why are you pretending to be great?”

At Handsome’s pointing James’s face became crooked.

Then, Galahad’s figure largely shook. The sword cut the back and a red scar was engraved. Blood long sprayed.

The head of the agent who swung the sword was rolling on the floor. Even though the neck flew swung the sword. At that extreme the two softly trembled their bodies.

On the piled corpses Galahad put the cigarette in his mouth.

The small light of the cigarette illuminated that face.

Still expressionless.

One was certain.

It was not that the inspection room agent is weak.

Because the opponent was Galahad, looking weak—.

The two swallowed dry saliva with a kkeulkeok and busily moved.

There were too many corpses to clean—.

*

‘Came a lot.’

Galahad furrowed his eyes and muttered.

Fatigue piled quite. Wounds also increased quite. Although said maximally careful had no choice.

Because the inspection room agent was not an easy guy—.

‘Now slowly it is time to come out.’

Then, fireworks burst again.

Peoeong.

The surroundings brightened. At the end of the path full of red there was a familiar guy.

That was a black beast. On both sides there were naked women, and below that bottles of alcohol were rolling.

A peculiar form sword closer to an axe than a sword was below the guy’s feet.

Although a guy whose all around is a gap, that was not a gap.

It was the guy’s snout.

“Effort.”

Effort growled instead of answering.

Did not make a plan. There was no feeling of being driven either. From the beginning there was no way Galahad would be driven if driven. Thoroughly made unable to predict.

Yet the guy was accurately in the place Galahad headed.

That was not the area of calculation.

It was the guy’s extreme instinct.

Effort who saw Galahad stood from the seat.

The firm black muscle wriggled.

“Long time.”

The guy who shortly greeted moved his lips as if savoring.

Following the guy making a mischievous smile—.

“Iscariot.”

Provoked.

The corners of Galahad’s mouth stiffened.

“Ah, cannot call with the agent name?”

At Effort mocking Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

“This, because not hit with a stick returned to a beast again.”

This time the corners of the guy’s mouth stiffened.

“Still do not worry. What is good about workplace colleagues?”

Galahad put the cigarette in his mouth and raised the corners of his mouth.

“I will educate very properly.”

The black beast could not hold and roared.

Galahad attached fire to the cigarette.
