Chapter 134

Good Child

‘It is the past empire’s crest.’

The empire changed the crest after the Dema War.

Although a too old matter so no one remembering, there was that record in the Information Bureau director exclusive note.

‘Why a demon race wearing armor engraved with the empire’s previous crest?’

Then, intense presence was felt. It was a high-rank demon race. The high-rank demon race of Magic Realm was a completely different existence from when outside.

There was a subtle mark on that high-rank demon race’s shoulder.

‘It is a squad leader.’

A high-rank demon race is a squad leader, there are mid-rank and low-rank demon races around—. a subtle composition.

Then, the demon races formed a formation. The lead demon races raised arms as if raising a shield. The guys behind waved hands as if shooting arrows.

‘Really fighting like soldiers.’

Galahad furrowed his eyes and flicked his finger. The barrier covered the surroundings. Something transparent knocked the barrier.

It was authority that became like a pointed arrow.

‘The density is thicker than thought.’

Of course, not degree of piercing the barrier.

Adrianne was already charging at the demon races.

The demon races entangled and held out arms.

‘Using authority like a shield.’

The demon races overlapped authority like shield soldiers. Plausible, yet regrettably the opponent was Adrianne.

Adrianne’s aura cut the authority and demon races at once. The high-rank demon race stabbed the hand as if using a spear.

The high-rank demon race’s arm and neck flew off simultaneously. In that gap another demon race aimed at Adrianne’s back.

Looked like a perfect opening, yet Adrianne’s white aura was a sword and armor. The attacking demon race rather turned to dust.

‘It is the demon race’s natural enemy.’

Adrianne who finished the demon races in an instant returned while shaking the sword. Dust fully sprayed from the sword.

“Fine?”

“Fine. Seen that demon race?”

“Yes, demon races faced in Magic Realm before.”

Adrianne lightly nodded.

“Know what the crest engraved on that armor is?”

“Isn’t it the demon race’s?”

“No, that crest is the crest the empire used at the Dema War time.”

Galahad calmly said. Adrianne stiffened as is.

“The empire changed the crest after the Dema War ended. The crest engraved on the armor the demon race just wore is the empire’s crest before changing.”

“Although first hearing the story the empire changed the crest.”

Gilbert asked while furrowing his eyes.

“Because of the empire’s nobility. That the supreme empire changed the crest is a spirit-draining matter.”

“Then how does the captain know?”

At Gilbert’s question Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.

“It is a secret.”

“Only the ones hard to answer······.”

Gilbert softly grumbled. Adrianne stepped forward.

“Why is a demon race wearing armor engraved with the previous empire’s crest?”

Adrianne asked in a firm voice. That indifferent face softly shook.

“There are two possibilities.”

Galahad spread two fingers.

“The first is those demon races stealing and wearing the Dema War soldiers’ armor and going around. Hmm, if degree of going around even though rusted so, seemed quite liked.”

“Eh, no way so?”

Gilbert roughly responded. At that Galahad laughed with a keul keul.

“Correct, the possibility of the first is slim. Come, the second is those demon races are the empire army of the Dema War time. So wore the armor of that time as is.”

Adrianne’s eyes became large. The face fully stiffened. Only then Gilbert also became serious.

“Or could be a demon race that infiltrated the empire army at that time.”

“······Could be so.”

Unlike the answer Adrianne was not an understanding face.

It was a natural reaction. That a human became a demon race is not a story to pass easily. Even more if the previous empire army the story became more complicated.

At that complexity—.

“What became how?”

Gilbert confidently asked.

“That the empire army that disappeared at the Dema War time could have become a demon race. Although the detailed would have to know more.”

Heavy silence descended. Gilbert scratched his head.

“So damn many traitors.”

Truly a clear summary. Galahad laughed with a keul keul.

“Not knowing yet. Could have become forcibly. The important is that the one just caught is a squad. What would a squad that fell from the battalion have been doing?”

Damien full of blood raised his hand with a flash.

“Yes, Damien. Speak.”

“Meal.”

“Stupid kid. Meal. Just looking it is patrol.”

At Gilbert’s point Damien made a sealreuk expression. It was a face that suffered extreme insult.

“Hmm, in this case would be scout.”

“It is scout.”

“Patrol or scout. That is that meaning.”

Tom slightly pulled the two and mediated.

Galahad turned his head.

Magic Realm the deeper entering that density became even thicker. The gray fog thickened more, now to the extent looking black.

“If scout, next would be the main force.”

Galahad said while deeply sucking the cigarette.

Heavy silence descended.

“Well, might not be, yet still better to hurry. Come, this side.”

Galahad pointed at the place the fog is uniquely thick.

*

How much walked, a small crying sound was heard.

Because Magic Realm quiet to the extent even the breathing sound of the person beside is heard more clearly heard.

“Seems there is an orphan!”

Gwen stirred and shouted. As Gwen said it was a child’s crying sound.

“This place is Magic Realm.”

“Ah, then orphan demon race······?”

“That not knowing.”

The crying sound became larger and larger. As concentrating the wind, the fog in front cleared.

There a small child was crouching. A white child crouching on black and desolate land as if rotten—.

At clear sense of incongruity clear coolness rose.

Galahad spread detection with mana. The child’s density was not that high. It was low-rank.

Although in Magic Realm even low-rank cannot be careless, somehow unpleasant for simply low-rank. Slowly sprayed mana more carefully.

“Why? Does not look that dangerous.”

Gilbert calmly said. Whether because experienced demon races quite, seemed instinctively felt the demon race’s strength.

Actually the demon race in a child’s form was only low-rank. Not degree of dangerous.

However, somehow unpleasant.

Then, something was caught under the crying child.

“It is an ant lion.”

“Yes? Ant lion— what sound is that.”

Then, Adrianne ran to the front. There was no gap to catch. A white line was drawn in the air. The demon race’s neck was cut as is.

The demon race’s head that floated in the air turned with a binggeul—.

That face scattering into dust—.

‘Laughing.’

Kwaaaaang!

A roar burst and the ground shook. The ground flipped as if a bomb exploded.

What jumped out from the ground was a huge magic beast’s snout that looked like a whale. Dozens of red eyes were embedded on the surface.

How huge looked like a small mountain rose.

Adrianne was eaten as is.

“Lady Adrianne!!”

The direct unit fully raised aura and kicked the ground.

Then, the huge snout that rose to the end stopped with a ttuk—.

A white line was long drawn vertically. Ashes sprayed riding that line. The line spread quickly like fire attached to dry grass.

The huge magic beast all changed to ashes and fluttered. Adrianne walked out between the ashes spraying like heavy snow.

‘No need to care about the bait either.’

Galahad softly admired.

‘Because not only the demon race strengthens in Magic Realm.’

The thicker the mana density, Adrianne’s nature burned even rougher. Rather strengthened more.

However, different from a demon race. Opposite to a demon race that would feel comfort, Adrianne would clearly feel pain.

Because her nature was a fire that burns even her.

“Worked hard.”

“No. A demon race experienced before. A guy that hides the main body under that and induces carelessness.”

Adrianne calmly explained.

‘Knew it is bait.’

Just no need to care. Because whether bait or main body just cutting it becomes.

Then—.

Euaaaaaang!

A bizarre crying sound was heard again.

The problem was the point that crying is not one.

“Seems the nap time ended.”

A child’s crying sound was heard from all sides. Rough crying was heard as if saying come this side quickly.

It was hell. Even the direct unit knights’ faces stiffened.

In that heavy atmosphere Galahad—.

“This side.”

Guided again.

Adrianne stared at that back full of conviction.

*

Magic Realm was extreme. A child’s crying sound was heard in places, and invisible arrows flew. Suddenly a magic beast rushed in.

Persistent raids continued without giving a gap to rest.

Because the density thickened the deeper entering, detection and view securing became harder and harder. Opposite to that the demon races and magic beasts gradually strengthened.

Could not stop even one of view securing or detection.

Galahad continuously sipped the water bottle. The pill of pain continuously thumped, and the mind was highly elevated.

The place arrived so—.

“······Isn’t it a cliff?”

It was a deep cliff degree the end is not seen.

“Quite deep.”

Galahad pressed his temples with a kkuk kkuk and calmly said.

A moment of silence continued. Soon the direct unit members who realized the situation raised their voices.

“Acting as if knowing the direction yet a cliff!”

“The injured are considerable. Have to return right now.”

Because came following piercing demon races and magic beasts, yet that end was a cliff, a fierce reaction could only come out.

“Quiet.”

Even Adrianne could not suppress the dissatisfaction.

“Isn’t it the second time entering Magic Realm now? Not understanding why believing Captain Galahad.”

Adrianne’s eyebrows shook.

Although intense conversation went back and forth, the party Galahad was looking at the cliff.

Galahad stood at the end of the cliff and looked down. The four-legged demon race’s signal was rising from below. Urged to come down quickly.

The ruler who saw the four-legged demon race said ‘something that should be in the abyss daring appear in my territory?’. Thought the abyss is a metaphor—.

‘Really an abyss.’

Cool wind rose from below. Galahad’s head roughly fluttered.

The four-legged demon race was calling Galahad.

The four-legged demon race just said the word ‘king’.

If trivial trivial—.

‘It is the first clue contacted.’

No matter how looking the demon race’s king that did not come out. It was the first clue that came out regarding such a demon race’s king.

Could not miss.

However, that was not all.

‘High possibility of knowing the cause Magic Realm increased.’

Although looked for the cause Magic Realm increased while coming, nothing came out. Rather the old empire traces came out and became more complicated.

The four-legged demon race was a real high-rank demon race. Along with that the timing was coincidental, so high possibility of knowing regarding this.

Not believing the four-legged demon race. From the beginning Galahad was not a personality that believes others.

Just using the four-legged demon race’s motive.

‘Because a guy immersed in killing the emperor.’

The four-legged demon race had a clear purpose of killing the emperor to the extent of cutting one’s power. Because of that could use.

“Fine. The direction if catching newly it becomes.”

At Adrianne’s voice the thought broke.

“If a person anyone can make a mistake.”

At the bizarre words turning the head, Gilbert and the Special Mission Unit were standing as if guarding around Galahad.

The knights of the direct unit were glaring at Galahad with sharp gazes. It was a form the Special Mission Unit and the direct unit confronting.

‘Thinking I wrongly guided.’

It was a situation enough to be angry. Because the place arrived after that hardship was a cliff.

Even a urgent situation Magic Realm widening—.

“Fine. Returning and reorganizing and coming again is sufficient.”

“Adrianne, I do not do something called mistake.”

Adrianne’s eyes became large. Galahad passed the hair disheveled by the wind.

“There would be the answer under this.”

As pointing at the cliff Adrianne’s eyes shook. Those eyes slightly narrowed.

“Not understanding what words.”

At Adrianne’s request Galahad chose words.

Although could deceive as much as wanted if wanting to deceive—.

‘Then raising a matter for nothing.’

Galahad lightly nodded.

“Remember the demon race that helped us from the ruler?”

“Yes? Yes. Remember.”

“The guy is under there.”

Adrianne’s expressionless shook. Bewilderment rose.

“······Came looking for a high-rank demon race?”

“It is the correct answer.”

Adrianne’s eyebrows vibrated up and down. That mouth moved with a dalsak.

“Believing a demon race?”

“No, I do not believe a demon race.”

“Then—.”

“Look well.”

Galahad compressed mana. Quickly recited the spell. Soon a small hellfire floated on the finger.

Adrianne stepped back one step. Galahad did not care and threw under the cliff.

“Look at the size.”

At Galahad’s serious voice Adrianne concentrated.

The hellfire slowly descended while even eating the surrounding fog. Thanks to that visible even if the hellfire moves away.

That size—.

“Gradually becoming small.”

“Correct, that side’s density is weaker than this side. Because a demon race likes a place of thick density, the going path would not be dangerous.”

“But—.”

“If really not becoming think of processing one high-rank demon race. Because the mana density is weak easy to catch.”

“The demon race that saved us—.”

“Even so a demon race. Came this far, have to salvage something.”

At Galahad’s confident answer Adrianne moved her mouth with a beonggeot.

If going down and if goes wrong catch a high-rank demon race, or obtain information— a reasonable proposal.

However—.

‘Even if a demon race helped us······.’

No, because a demon race no correlation. Still if a demon race that helped···. Adrianne’s eyebrows busily moved.

Then, Galahad raising the corners of his mouth—.

“Believe me.”

Calmly said.

The shamelessly demanding belief was truly detestable.

Even so jumping down under the cliff in Magic Realm, isn’t it too much.

Adrianne chewed her lips.

“······Thinking of how going down and coming up the cliff?”

All was a story possible only if there is a means of going down or coming up the cliff.

Going down the cliff was a possible story to Adrianne and the direct unit, yet impossible to Galahad and the Special Mission Unit.

“If you hug it becomes?”

At Galahad’s question Adrianne seriously pondered. If hugging—. soon hurriedly shook her head.

“Impossible.”

“It is a joke, what thought. You, the face is red.”

“······Sorry.”

“It was a joke though. Anyway, there is a method. A very cool method of comfortably climbing and descending the cliff—.”

Galahad tapped the skin.

It was the skin engraved with the magic beast tamer’s magic circle.

Euaaaaaang!

Then, a crying sound was heard from afar.

“Oh, just there.”

Galahad refreshingly laughing somehow anxious.

Adrianne slightly closed the helmet.

****

‘Fuck?’

Carrot muttered a curse and looked around. Everyone was a similar face. A face somehow the soul sucked out—.

That cause was in front.

A huge magic beast that looked like a fish was fully opening its mouth and—.

“Enter one by one. Because not that wide stand sticking tight.”

Galahad standing on that gestured.

“Can ride at ease. Unless a mage with high mana sensitivity like me touches, no way of releasing. Surprisingly soft.”

Galahad said while tapping the magic beast’s skin.

Certainly looked soft but—.

‘Isn’t that not the problem?!’

The opponent was a magic beast. Saying enter that magic beast’s mouth—. Carrot displeasedly muttered.

“Said 1st Battalion. Seems scared of being eaten by a magic beast.”

Then, Gilbert openly mocked.

‘Isn’t everyone afraid of being eaten by a magic beast? And you were also 1st Battalion.’

Carrot desperately swallowed the words that rose to the end of the mouth.

Then—.

Buuuuuu.

An aged horn flute sound was heard from somewhere. Something caught on the nerves sharpened by aura.

That—.

“This, the main force came. Come, ride quickly.”

It was an army. Foot sounds were heard from all sides.

Main force—. had no choice but to enter the magic beast’s mouth.

Could not follow the situation at all.

Why voluntarily being eaten by a magic beast’s mouth in Magic Realm.

And why—.

“Adrianne, you come down running. Because the magic beast hurts.”

“······Understood.”

Adrianne somehow looking disappointed—.

Could not understand.

“Come, it is departure.”

Galahad laughed and tapped the magic beast.

Then, Gwen softly muttered.

“Huh? Hungry? Saying Gwang-i is hungry!”

“Who is Gwang-i?”

“Ah, this friend. Endure a bit. We must not eat! If eating a bad child! Good! Saliva gathering—?”

At Gwen brightly laughing and pointing below—.

“This fuck.”

Carrot could not hold and spit a curse.
