Tak Tak Tak

‘Lamp.’

Galahad muttered while stroking the golden rod.

The magic beast the lamp the pioneer held touched became ashes.

‘Reduced the magic beast to mana.’

High-density mana flowed in the magic beast’s blood. To use that had to lower the mana solubility of the blood itself.

Yet the lamp made the magic beast into mana right away.

‘Touched vitality.’

Vitality was needed to contain mana in the blood. Then what to do to extract mana from the blood.

‘Have to extract the vitality contained in the blood.’

The lamp’s function was clear touching the vitality contained in the blood.

A function not wasteful at all of the grand name holy relic. Wanted to bring right now.

Above all—.

‘Somehow a similar feeling.’

Although not looked in detail, the feeling with the golden rod was somehow similar.

Both composed of complete gold, and also—.

‘Even held by a high-rank demon race.’

Galahad turned the golden rod with a binggeul—.

Then, Adrianne approached with a seongkeum.

“The number is too many.”

Adrianne’s voice was sunken. The eyebrows were deeply down. At that looked around.

The atmosphere was not good. The faces of the direct unit knights were fully furrowed.

Not that got scared. These were the elite of the North. Warriors far from fear.

Just—.

‘Judged there is no chance of winning.’

Galahad recalled what just saw.

The demon races faced until now even if gathering a lot were under ten.

Yet the demon races just seen were in the hundreds unit.

‘Because changed from the empire army, placed a command system similar to an army.’

Even this place was Magic Realm the demon race’s main camp. Intuiting defeat was natural in a way.

Galahad lightly tapped the cigarette.

“Said a demon race forms a colony.”

“Yes, forms a colony from high-rank. But first seeing so many numbers gathered.”

Adrianne nodded. Adrianne was still resolute.

‘Would say will go alone.’

Galahad lightly clicked his tongue.

“Would be because of the pioneer.”

“Pioneer?”

“Wasn’t that attire unique?”

“Yes, only alone the armament was gorgeous. Along with there is a flag behind—.”

As Adrianne’s words the pioneer alone the armor was uniquely gorgeous. Along with sticking even a flag behind—.

“The guy would be a general. Isn’t so?”

Galahad asked while looking at the guide demon race. The guide demon race narrowly opened his eyes and nodded.

“Correct. The guy is General Magnus.”

Although the guide demon race said exactly as if amazing—.

“First hearing.”

It was a name first hearing in life. In a way a natural matter. These were ones who became demon races by being cursed.

From the beginning no way the empire that even changed the crest would have left records.

“Not knowing Magnus—.”

The guide demon race displeasedly muttered. Galahad waved his hand.

“The pioneer is a general of the Dema War time. Seems using the old empire’s command system. Placing a high-rank demon race as a squad leader—. the reason can move that many numbers.”

“······Really an army.”

Adrianne’s expression stiffened.

“Even so existences that only traces remain.”

“······What meaning only traces remain?”

“Slightly poked earlier, yet did not turn the head.”

At Galahad’s words Adrianne’s eyes became large.

“What meaning poked?”

“A demon race is very sensitive to mana. A high-rank demon race even more sensitive. At that compressed mana, yet the pioneer did not even give a gaze.”

When facing the pioneer, Galahad moved mana. Confirming the opponent’s reaction was the basic of estimation.

Yet the pioneer did not turn the head.

Just looking at the front.

“What kind of general was Magnus?”

Galahad asked while looking at the guide demon race.

“A guy crazy about continent unification. A guy who did not even sleep and only did conquest wars.”

The guide demon race’s answer was as expected.

[Ah, in that side’s words if becoming a high-rank demon race one emotion is born.]

The words the fox mask said rose.

The ruler was blinded by possessiveness, and the guy wearing the fox mask moved only with interest.

The pioneer only stared at the front.

So—.

“We will attack the back.”

Galahad laughed while tapping the cigarette.

Adrianne seriously nodded.

Galahad checked the plan.

The goal was the pioneer. Precisely speaking, the lamp the guy is holding was the final goal.

However, because no way the pioneer would give if asking for the lamp, had to process the pioneer too.

The pioneer was threatening by itself, and even the number of demon races surrounding that was many.

Once, reducing the number of the empire army demon races as much as possible was the first goal.

For that there were a few things needed.

“If you are there demon races or magic beasts do not act up—.”

“Yes.”

As slightly raising the mood, the guide demon race nodded.

“Is there a demon race stronger than you besides the pioneer there?”

“Daring. Comparing me with such guys.”

“None. Good, come this side.”

“What I took charge was guidance. Why do I have to help?”

“Am I doing this for myself? In the middle of cleaning the matter that occurred because that side could not block one pioneer.”

As lightly saying the guide demon race stopped. That face fully furrowed. Clear hostility was revealed.

‘The four-legged demon race is the reverse scale.’

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.

Chaeng—. along with a sharp sound a sword was aimed at the guide demon race’s neck. It was Adrianne and Gilbert.

The guide demon race did not even care. Just glared at Galahad.

“Am I doing this for myself? Isn’t it That One’s request.”

Soon the guy erased the hostility. It was a well-trained guy.

“Tch.”

The guy who clicked his tongue stepped forward. Galahad turned the golden rod with a binggeul.

Stopped pushing the fog. Then thick fog soon filled the surroundings.

The plan was simple. Placing the guide demon race a top-rank demon race in front and attacking from behind—.

If by any chance the guys notice and combat starts, quickly retreat.

And—.

‘It is repetition.’

Galahad put the cigarette in his mouth.

Although the form of an army, the guys were in the end demon races. Along with that the pioneer the commander of that only looking at the front, the weakness was clear.

Just intimidated by the environment of Magic Realm and that overwhelming number and could not even think of raiding.

Probably if outside, a plan even the knights of the direct unit not Adrianne could sufficiently establish.

Just because here is Magic Realm, intimidated.

Regrettably Galahad rather the head was clearer than when outside.

Although not as much as a demon race, because Magic Realm the power of magic also strengthened.

“Will go.”

The guide demon race shortly said and walked.

Even placing the guide demon race a top-rank demon race, it was only a little trick.

The empire army demon races faced in the passage did not hesitate to attack. If drawing the gaze, clear would attack.

So the key—.

‘Deceiving a demon race sensitive to mana.’

Although stealth was Galahad’s specialty, this opponent was a demon race.

A demon race was an existence called the natural enemy of a mage. Along with that that mana sensitivity needed no words.

From the beginning existences composed of thick density mana, could only be sensitive to mana.

Such a demon race—.

‘Assassination with magic in Magic Realm.’

Galahad deeply spit cigarette smoke.

In fact a sentence hard to establish.

Because of that—.

‘Would be fun.’

Galahad’s taste was a difficult problem.

Then, blue eyes blinked. It was Adrianne.

Adrianne nodded instead of particular words.

“Start.”

Galahad tapped the cigarette.

“Walk!”

“This uncivilized guy—.”

Gilbert pushed the guide demon race’s back.

*

‘This—.’

The knight of the direct unit Carrot looked around.

The thick ashes unique to Magic Realm fully blocked the view. To the extent even the knights right beside are barely seen.

Every time breathing stuffiness rose. Even the breathing sound had to be careful.

Then—.

······!

A magic beast’s scream burst from somewhere. In the huge scream that shook the ground thick pain was contained. Numerous foot sounds were heard from a fallen place.

As even the pioneer’s stinging presence from afar was added, considerable pressure.

In Magic Realm the demon race’s main camp, a situation with hundreds of demon races and even a high-rank demon race around.

No matter how the elite of the North could only receive pressure. The back was damp with tension. Sweat fully rose on the hand.

‘No matter how Galahad—.’

Carrot softly muttered.

The opponent had hundreds of demon races and even a high-rank demon race. Even this place was Magic Realm the demon race’s main camp.

Yet saying will raid from behind—.

It was a crazy plan hard to follow even with the North’s bravery.

No, does the concept of raid even exist in that overwhelming power difference?

However, there was no other method. Actually a situation of seeing the pioneer making a magic beast into ashes.

There was no one here who does not know how dangerous a situation Magic Realm widening is.

Just had no choice but to follow Galahad.

‘Nothing is seen, how saying will raid.’

Carrot muttered while narrowly opening his eyes.

Then—.

Tak. a sound of flicking the finger was heard. Because such a sound is heard in the silence startled in advance.

‘Clearly flicked the finger when using magic—.’

Knew that Galahad uses magic by flicking the finger.

However—.

‘No sound at all?’

The sound of flicking the finger was all. Even that sound very small.

If unfolded magic shouldn’t at least a small sound be heard—.

Tak. a sound was heard again. From then a small sound continued.

As if even there is a constant beat, a small sound continuously heard was all.

In extreme tension Carrot firmly held the sword. Other knights seen between the fog were similar.

Just holding the sword on a face full of resolution was all.

Tak—. Tak—. Tak—.

A small sound continuously was heard.

Then—.

“Gwen, pop.”

A calm voice was heard.

A faint fire rose and Galahad’s face was seen.

Galahad was thickly laughing. Exactly as if doing a very fun play—.

That laughter was cool to an unprecedented degree.

Soon the cigarette’s fire extinguished.

And again—.

Tak, Tak, Tak.

A series of sounds spread.

“Move.”

The calm voice and fragrant lemon scent pushed the back.

“This side.”

Moved following that dry voice.

‘What doing—.’

Carrot muttered while clenching and opening the numb hand.

Saying will raid, yet quietly flicking the finger and moving—.

Not understanding what situation at all.

That series of actions repeated.

Around the degree the breath is blocked with a teok— with tension—.

“Hmm, caught.”

Galahad calmly said.

‘Caught?’

Carrot softly muttered.

“Everyone prepare. Will combat while withdrawing. The command of the combat Adrianne will take.”

“Yes, understood. Prepare—.”

Galahad leisurely yet quickly ordered. At that Adrianne nodded.

Carrot fixing the sword suddenly a question rose.

‘Originally Lady Adrianne’s unit?’

Yet Galahad naturally transferred the command right to Adrianne.

Because that series of flow was too natural, no one held a question. Even the unique direct unit knights, even Adrianne—.

A cool wind pushed the fog. The death fog slowly was pushed. Only then the breath properly opened.

The surrounding scenery was barely seen. Carrot who was joyfully inhaling opened his mouth with a jjeok at the surrounding appearance.

‘What is this—.’

There were demon race corpses in places. All had a large hole pierced in the neck. No sense of what killed with.

Then, felt something strange. The demon races’ expressions were constant.

That—.

‘The demon race did not notice until the moment of dying.’

Carrot’s eyes became large. The demon race did not even react.

Daring a stealthy ambush to the extent even dying a demon race does not notice—.

‘······This is magic?’

Carrot swallowed dry saliva with a kkeulkeok.

Astonishment rose rather than admiration. Then suddenly such a thought rose.

If that magic aimed at oneself, can oneself block.

“Come, prepare.”

Galahad’s leisurely voice broke the thought.

Dung dung! a heavy drum sound was heard. A demon race ran out between the thick fog.

“Captain Galahad as the top priority—.”

Adrianne gave a familiar order.

Protect Galahad as the top priority—. before did not hold a question.

Because Galahad’s ability of securing the view, and grasping the demon race was clearly important.

However, now a question rose.

‘Saying protect that human who processed dozens alone?’

No, from the beginning is there a need to protect?

Turning the head, Galahad sipping the water bottle was seen.

Galahad—.

“Was the mana density the problem? Twisted at the last moment though. Have to compress more.”

Muttered a bizarre sound alone, and sipped the water bottle.

Carrot chewed his lips and fixed the sword.

“For the North—!”

Shouts burst in places. Aura fully rose.

As always the lead was Adrianne.

The combat was unexpectedly easy. Although Galahad securing the view was also large but—.

‘The number is fewer than thought.’

Clearly there was an army of hundreds beside, yet what charges was about thirty. This degree could sufficiently handle.

“Looking the command system was tangled. Because cut that, there would be no additional troops.”

Galahad calmly said as if nothing.

‘When grasped such?’

Even cut even that connection point—. Carrot sincerely astonished.

“Come, then will move right away.”

Then, Galahad naturally gave an order.

Even before Adrianne orders, everyone moved.

Everyone followed Galahad’s order as if natural without even a small opposition.

Adrianne tightly closed the opened lips.

The corners of the mouth itched for nothing.

****

“A match of finding a demon race—. Galahad, finally recognized me.”

First fully raised the corners of his mouth and laughed.

‘Recognition damn—.’

Pumpkin muttered a curse inside.

“Pumpkin, know what a demon race is?”

“What, humanity’s······.”

“Correct. Humanity’s long enemy. Yet why is a demon race a human’s enemy?”

At the Q&A that started out of the blue Pumpkin fully furrowed his eyes.

An imitation of Galahad that does not work.

Why does not work—.

“That······.”

“Because a demon race eats humans.”

First took out the answer himself.

“No, if so why asking.”

“Come, here a problem. Why does a demon race eat humans?”

“This, damn—.”

“That is a meaningless question. Same as asking a human why eating meat.”

“No, you asked.”

First did not even listen and turned his shoulder with a binggeul—. that huge muscle made an eudeudeuk— sound.

First became a serious face.

“Come, then a real problem. How finding a demon race hidden in the gap of humans?”

It was a voice without any laughter.

How finding a demon race—. Pumpkin softly muttered.

A demon race was the natural enemy of a mage. The reason sending knights to missions related to demon races in the Information Bureau.

Looking at Galahad, seems no meaning but—.

‘······A bit not calling simply a mage.’

Anyway, a demon race was the natural enemy of a mage.

“Isn’t it fine if roasting with magic? Anyway said magic does not work on a demon race.”

Pumpkin seriously answered.

Then—.

“This Pumpkin! So you are a knight! Finding by roasting this many personnel with magic! Know how much mana takes? Hahaha!”

First laughed while even holding his stomach. Although Pumpkin’s eyes gradually furrowed, First did not see because laughing.

Then, a knight of the direct unit came out.

“Called Robert the knight of the direct unit.”

“Oh, that famous Adrianne direct unit. I am Galahad’s eternal rival, destined nemesis, First.”

The man called Robert slightly stepped back one step.

“Yes, heard Galahad found the hidden demon race. What method was it?”

First asked while spouting hot nasal breath.

“······Gathered all and set fire. The guy that does not burn is a demon race—.”

Robert answered in a displeased voice.

‘My words are correct.’

It was the same method as Pumpkin said.

At that First—.

“Gathering all and setting fire······. As expected Galahad-like! Bold yet innovative! Yes, have to be so to match my rival!”

Pumpkin reviewed whether there was an item ‘do not stab the superior with a sword’ in the guidelines of the newly established Continent Information Bureau.
