Chapter 136

Reason

“······Saintess?”

At Galahad’s re-asking the demon race’s eyes furrowed.

“Do not dare put in a lowly mouth.”

The demon race showed an intense reaction. It was a reaction as if even suffered blasphemy.

What that reaction means—.

‘Treating the four-legged demon race as a real saintess.’

Galahad’s eyes narrowed.

The name saintess was not light. A saintess was an existence chosen by god. The symbol of the church and simultaneously the foundation.

Because of that a saintess existed only one. The saintess of the generation was in the main hall of the church.

Yet the four-legged demon race a saintess—.

‘Would be the saintess of the Dema War time.’

Galahad bluntly muttered.

“Follow.”

Then, the demon race shortly said and turned back. It was a reaction as if disliking being in this place.

“Wait, is the safety of the stiffened ones guaranteed?”

Galahad asked while pointing at the stiffened ones.

“All here exists under That One’s permission.”

At that the demon race calmly said. Conviction was full in that voice.

‘It is the story of safe.’

There was no reason the four-legged demon race would touch this side. Because what the guy is interested in was Galahad.

Then—.

“Damn. Is it safe. Is it not safe.”

Gilbert roughly cursed. The demon race’s face furrowed at once.

“Uncivilized······. Will be safe.”

The demon race moved steps first. The look disliked being here even for a moment.

“Says safe. Still just in case Sir Gilbert guard.”

“Yes, understood.”

“Continuously turn aura. Adrianne, you go with me.”

Gilbert firmly nodded. Adrianne stuck behind Galahad.

“Fine to enter inside? Might be a trap.”

Adrianne quietly asked. At that Galahad lightly nodded.

“Fine. Aren’t you there.”

“Ah······.”

Adrianne largely nodded. Soon firmly held the sword hilt.

It was Adrianne who caught even the ruler outside. In this mana density there was no way the guy could win against Adrianne.

Along with—.

‘From the beginning no way so either.’

Galahad put the cigarette in his mouth. Lemon scent deeply blew.

However, there was a variable.

‘The guy is a mental high-rank demon race.’

Although seemed weakened now, if the distance becomes close the four-legged demon race’s control power would also strengthen. Needed a means to prepare.

“If I am even a little strange, touch the head right away.”

Galahad requested to Adrianne.

“······The head?”

Bewilderment rose on Adrianne’s face. Those eyebrows largely shook.

“The guy is a mental high-rank demon race. There is also a possibility I suffer mental interference.”

“Ah, understood.”

Resolution rose on Adrianne’s face. It was seriousness as if even going to war.

“That······.”

“Why.”

“How to stroke? If doing like this there is risk of neck injury, so like this······?”

Adrianne swung her hand with a bung bung. How much gave strength to the hand, the sound of air bursting was heard.

“······Will you just softly stroke?”

“Ah, understood. Softly.”

Buung—. Adrianne’s softness seemed the concept a little different.

However, this was not words said to Adrianne. It was words said to be heard by the four-legged demon race inside.

Even if playing tricks useless—.

Galahad moved steps toward the demon race already far. Adrianne followed while guarding the surroundings.

Sticky something stuck every step. The red ashes piled on the floor caught the feet.

‘A mysterious place.’

The red fog became even thicker. The red fog formed with a songgol songgol if touching the skin. Exactly a blood-like form, yet slightly tasting was not blood.

Then, presence was felt from the surroundings. Demon races were in places. The presence blowing was not ordinary.

Galahad slightly sprayed mana. Even compressed mana disappeared as is.

‘It is a top-rank demon race.’

Guys whose lowest is a top-rank demon race were in places. The guys stared at this side as if guarding.

Precisely speaking, stared at Adrianne.

Galahad’s eyes narrowed. Their momentum was fierce. Openly revealed hostility. Adrianne tightly— held the sword hilt.

“······Dangerous.”

Adrianne warned. The demon races’ momentum was intense to the extent even Adrianne is tense.

Warnings fully rose. Although the back cool and the neck itchy—.

“Would be fine.”

Galahad calmly said.

The momentum of the guy guiding the path in front was the best among the two. Such a guy was the four-legged demon race calling saintess.

The four-legged demon race’s purpose was clear. The emperor’s death—. for that Galahad had to safely leave this place.

There was no possibility the four-legged demon race would harm Galahad.

“Understood.”

Adrianne nodded with serious eyes. Slightly stood in front of Galahad.

The place arrived following the demon race had something not imagined at all.

That—.

“It is a temple.”

It was a very huge white temple. That majesty was considerable. To the extent believable even if the main hall of the church.

‘Amazing.’

Galahad who was admiring suddenly a question rose.

This surroundings was all red one-sided. The stones rolling on the floor and the far cliff standing beside.

Yet how built that temple, became curious. That answer was in a close place.

‘Made with bones.’

Galahad softly nodded.

‘A temple built with bone powder, matching a demon race.’

As approaching the temple the surrounding hostility became even sharper. Now to the extent felt even with the skin.

There were two demon races in front of the temple. Both were women, one tall and one small. The common point was wearing clothes like a nun’s robe.

The two who discovered this side simultaneously furrowed their faces. Clear hostility.

“Daring letting humans into the holy land?”

Among them the small demon race said in a clear voice.

“Yes.”

The tall woman stared at Galahad. In an instant the mind became confused. It was high-level mental interference.

However—.

“Ridiculous.”

It was Galahad trained with the four-legged demon race. In a state of fully wrapping compressed mana for defense on the head.

Even if the opponent is top-rank not degree of getting hit without contact.

As Galahad tightly laughed, the two’s faces simultaneously stiffened. Veins stood on the gentle woman’s face. The small woman clearly laughed.

“Daring ridiculous—.”

“A fun human! No, is it a human?”

The two showed each different reactions. Then, the demon race that guided stepped forward.

“It is That One’s will.”

“Ah—.”

The two women simultaneously withdrew. The demon race that softened the two looked back at Galahad.

Displeasure was full on that face. Truly an arrogant face.

“From here go alone.”

The demon race ordered Galahad. Adrianne’s eyebrows furrowed. Adrianne looked at Galahad.

It seemed guarding Adrianne. It was a natural story. Because Adrianne who burns mana was the natural enemy of demon races.

However—.

“We are a relationship that just engaged. A good time in full swing. To the extent regrettable to separate. Isn’t so?”

The demon race’s brows lightly furrowed. Adrianne’s eyebrows roughly shook.

“······What sound.”

“Would be the story of entering together.”

“Impossible. Cannot let such an existence in.”

The demon race’s answer was firm. There was not even a small room in those eyes.

‘The resistance is more intense than thought.’

Galahad stared at the temple. Thick darkness was seen between the huge temple entrance.

An intense signal came out. The four-legged demon race was there.

Whether guarding the words Galahad said to Adrianne, or that power weakened more than thought did not play tricks.

“Seems misunderstood my words.”

Galahad calmly said and pulled Adrianne’s shoulder armor. Eh? Adrianne stiffened as is.

“This is not a proposal or negotiation.”

The demon races’ faces simultaneously furrowed. Extreme hostility leaked.

“It is a notification.”

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth as if savoring.

“Not knowing the topic.”

Tension fully swelled in an instant. Adrianne grabbed the sword hilt with a ttuk ttak.

At that Galahad—.

“More uncivilized is you though. From the beginning knowing how ridiculous that attire is?”

Openly mocked.

The demon race flinched. That shoulder slightly twisted. It was a posture as if spraying authority right now.

Then, the demon race’s body shook.

“Ha, get lost.”

Soon the demon race snorted.

‘Thinking I will bend.’

It was a reasonable inference. Because came looking even to the abyss of Magic Realm. Actually quite urgent too.

However, the important in negotiation was momentum.

“Heard? Saying get lost.”

Galahad shouted inside. At that the demon races were disgusted and raised momentum. Adrianne blocked in front of Galahad with the sword.

The momentum was crushed in an instant. Galahad’s corners of the mouth twisted.

“Became regrettable. Then will get lost!”

Galahad turned back without hesitation. Adrianne followed one beat late.

Returned the path came. Rather the steps were faster than when coming. Adrianne stuck right beside.

Adrianne looked up. Those blue pupils shook. It seemed asking if fine to return like this.

Enough to worry. Because this side also the urgent was the same.

Right now had to know the reason Magic Realm increased too, and there was also a clue regarding the demon race’s king. Not for nothing came risking danger even to the abyss of Magic Realm.

If returning like this hard to find the path out too.

However—.

“Wouldn’t there be more high-rank demon races?”

Adrianne’s eyes became large. Bewilderment fully rose. Adrianne nodded without asking.

As returning so—.

“······Already ended?”

Faced Gilbert who fully raised aura again.

Still no signal. However, Galahad did not look back.

“Prepare. Because will go up.”

“How these.”

Gilbert asked while pointing at the 1st Battalion.

“I will solve.”

Galahad shook his hand.

Then, foot sounds were heard from behind. Unlike before that stride was narrow.

‘Came.’

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth. The fog cleared and a demon race whose face fully furrowed appeared. What draped on that face was thick defeat.

“······That One permitted.”

The demon race said while tightly biting the teeth. Uncontrolled hostility flowed in stems.

Quite a fierce momentum but—.

“Not hearing well. What said?”

Galahad openly mocked.

Eudeudeuk—, the demon race largely ground the teeth. Then, the guy’s body largely shook. Those eyes loosened.

Soon—.

“Forgive the rudeness.”

Knelt and slammed the forehead on the ground. The ground largely echoed. Blood splashed. It was intense apology.

“Do not worry. Because I have wide tolerance. Ah, no need for guidance. Do some talk companion of Sir Gilbert here.”

Galahad lightly passed the demon race.

Adrianne alternately looked at the demon race and Galahad with round eyes and hurriedly followed.

‘What is this—.’

Gilbert blinked his eyes. That arrogant demon race suddenly slamming the head and apologizing.

So—.

‘As expected the captain.’

Gilbert muttered and raised aura.

Because so torn by Damien, the aura skill increased to an incomparable degree than before.

Gilbert fixed the sword in front of the Special Mission Unit.

Then suddenly the demon race that slammed the head was seen.

“Hey, demon race. Do not play and you guard this side.”

The demon race’s face furrowed one layer more.

****

The temple inside was all white. Unlike outside there was no fog. Just empty.

The temple was larger than thought. Could reach the end only after walking a lot.

There was an altar made by piling skulls. The altar piled with countless skulls was full of thick ashes.

Exactly like Magic Realm—.

‘Made Magic Realm with an altar.’

Galahad’s eyes narrowed.

The thick ashes split and something appeared.

At the moment facing that intense presence could know it is a high-rank demon race.

Snake-like torn golden pupils and green hair dangling like grass—. it was the four-legged demon race.

‘A sword is stuck.’

A long sword was stuck in the guy’s solar plexus.

Although a sword rusted and weathered whether a long time passed, even with that trace alone it was clearly revealed it was a famous sword of the century.

That long sword was deeply stuck in the guy’s chest. Long iron chains extended around the sword, yet unlike the sword not rusted at all.

‘Not physical.’

There was one problem.

The point the four-legged demon race’s size is quite small. It was a woman smaller than Gwen. Yet not a child’s appearance. It was an adult’s face.

What that means was clear.

“You, was a fairy.”

Galahad’s eyes narrowed.

The guy a high-rank demon race actually was a fairy, and also a saintess—.

The problem became more complicated.

Then, the guy raised the head. Yellow pupils where holiness and ominousness are simultaneously felt stared at Galahad.

The guy’s mouth slowly opened and—.

“Came. My apostle.”

The problem became one layer more complicated.

Adrianne softly hiccuped.

“······Apostle?”

Galahad’s voice lowly laid.

“You are my apostle.”

The four-legged demon race’s voice was firm. At that Galahad furrowed his eyes.

“Although a story first hearing.”

“A covenant was established with your oath. You are an apostle.”

The guy calmly said. It seemed the saying will kill the emperor acted differently to the guy.

The guy’s influence increasing after that rose. Thought acted as a contract, yet to the guy seemed a covenant.

‘Apostle—.’

Although an unpleasant title, in the end a title. Even acted a barbarian, would a mere apostle title be a problem.

The important—.

“Yes, a demon race you is a saintess. Plus a fairy.”

It was the guy’s identity.

Although surprising a demon race is a saintess, that original body is a fairy—.

“Correct. I was born as a fairy, chosen as a saintess, and cursed as a demon race.”

The guy obediently answered.

“Then is it became a demon race from a fairy?”

Adrianne asked in a firm voice.

“Didn’t just say so? The head is dull. A knight?”

“······Yes, a knight.”

“Seemed so.”

Adrianne’s eyebrows furrowed.

The guy stared at Galahad. Galahad organized thoughts while looking at those yellow pupils.

Would be the saintess of the Dema War time. The church was a group as powerful as the empire at the Dema War time. To the extent there was even a church country separately.

However, after that the church walked the path of decline, and now a fate no different from the North or the kingdom alliance.

“How can a fairy become a saintess?”

Galahad took out the most questionable point.

“Religion has no relation to race.”

The answer was still simple. Because the guy says so no particular words to say. Galahad quietly nodded.

However—.

“For so now a demon race? The church would be hostile to a demon race.”

“I did not choose.”

In an instant the air became heavy. Adrianne softly staggered. Galahad’s vision flickered.

And what is seen—.

Countless corpses that cannot be counted and thick rotten smell, a fat crow shuddering in joy, weakened groans and breathing sounds as if would cut right now.

And in that center there was a blonde man. The man’s armor was gorgeous. Abundant gold, and that helmet was the shape of a crown.

No matter who sees a hero.

Also—.

Was the emperor.

On that face an emotion not matching was full.

That—.

[This is the best.]

Was thick defeat.

The man was a hero, and the emperor. One who stood above all.

What on earth did such a one feel defeat at—.

The hero’s head turned.

Beyond that—.

‘The demon race’s king.’

There was an absolute existence. Whether far away the form is not seen. Yet huge presence was felt.

Unbelievable degree. The hands and feet naturally trembled and the breath was blocked with a teok—.

The desperate defeat draped on the hero’s face was understood.

With that as the end the vision returned.

“······Fine?”

Adrianne urgently asked. That hand touched the forehead. Intense headache rose. It seemed Adrianne woke.

That memory just now was clearly the four-legged demon race’s—.

Galahad hurriedly stared at the four-legged demon race.

The four-legged demon race tightly stared at Galahad.

Galahad reflected in those pupils—.

“······You are crazy.”

Was brightly laughing.

“There is. Yes, as expected there was.”

Galahad laughed out loud.

At the mad laughter not matching Galahad Adrianne stepped back one step without knowing herself.

Galahad was laughing while even shaking the body.

Adrianne felt that laughter somehow like crying.

Softly—. Adrianne softly muttered and shook her hand.

Then, Galahad stopped the laughter.

And—.

“My possession had a reason.”

Muttered words that cannot be understood.

Adrianne shook her hand again.
