Chapter 142

Your Majesty

‘Drew interest.’

Rusty iron smell fully stabbed the nose.

At that Galahad tightly looked up.

Huge and rusty armor quietly looked down at Galahad.

Just the gaze touched, yet the shoulder became heavy. Felt the mood gravity became ten times stronger.

‘This is the high-rank demon race of Magic Realm.’

It was pressure to a surprising degree.

However—.

‘Not as much as the Grand Duke.’

Compared to the Grand Duke, there was a somewhat weak feeling. Because felt such Grand Duke’s pressure several times, could endure this degree.

Then—.

“What, this.”

A displeased voice was heard from somewhere. An incongruous voice.

The pioneer’s gaze moved. Turning the head following that, a huge white snake was seen. Cool feeling blew.

‘It is a top-rank magic beast.’

There was someone on that top-rank magic beast’s head. A guy wearing loose clothes.

A man of a pale impression that looked like a snake. A man riding a top-rank magic beast—.

‘Magic beast tamer.’

The magic beasts that gathered and raided rose. Real magic beast tamer’s magic circle was engraved on the magic beast.

High possibility that guy did it.

Wondered why left the magic beasts engraved with magic circle—.

‘Prepared for the lamp.’

Tok tok, Galahad lightly tapped his finger.

A magic beast tamer here—. in a situation precarious even with the pioneer, the appearance of an unexpected variable.

However, as a variable entered the suspicious things matched.

‘From the beginning strange that the pioneer of thin reason aimed at the four-legged demon race, there was a behind.’

Galahad softly nodded.

“You, asking what.”

The guy that looked like a snake asked while looking at Galahad. There was leisure in that voice.

Galahad examined the pioneer. The pioneer’s momentum slightly decreased. Exactly changed as the guy appeared.

Then—.

‘Engraved the magic beast tamer’s magic circle on the pioneer?’

High possibility so. Then moved the pioneer a high-rank demon race with a magic circle—.

‘Even if no reason a high-rank demon race.’

Although not perfectly understood the magic beast tamer’s magic circle, that somewhat did not make sense.

Then, the pioneer’s focusless eyes headed to Galahad again.

[For the empire—.]

The pioneer’s aged voice rose.

The pioneer’s purpose was clear. Returning to the emperor—.

‘Ah, used the pioneer’s desire.’

It seemed pressed the boundary with a magic circle, and used the pioneer’s desire heading to the emperor.

Oh—, Galahad admired out loud.

“Hey, asking what.”

The white snake lowered its head. The guy looked down at Galahad. Galahad slightly sprayed mana.

“Oh?”

The guy twisted the corners of his mouth. Mana scattered. No, tore. Noticed the lightly sprayed mana for confirmation—.

“Quite.”

Galahad seriously admired.

“Quite? Ha, an absurd bastard.”

“Are you the magic beast tamer? No, seems not that degree.”

“Guy—.”

Galahad examined the pioneer.

‘Not completely seized.’

The white snake opened its mouth with a jjeok. Hundreds of pointed teeth were revealed. At that Galahad lightly waved his hand.

“I am Galahad.”

“······Galahad? Ah, you are Galahad?”

The look knowing Galahad. Then—.

“You would be dawn. Quite a diligent organization.”

The guy twisted the corners of his mouth.

Exactly an appearance of a snake placing prey in front. The bizarrely shaped staff held in the hand shook. The pattern attached to the staff blew colorful light.

‘A mage. That too high-rank—.’

The feeling was different from the fox mask. Although the fox mask no sense at all, the guy that sensation was conveyed.

‘Because using a magic beast.’

Galahad examined the magic beast under the guy. The white snake’s tongue long flickered. Protrusions like bones were uneven on that tongue and fierce.

‘Is it a top-rank magic beast.’

There is a guy going around riding a top-rank magic beast like a horse—.

‘The Grand Duke would like.’

Galahad softly muttered.

“Daring the ball coming on its own feet like this. Luck is good.”

Then, the guy licked his own lips. Fire roughly rose from the guy’s staff.

The fire soon did a huge bird form. It was an eagle shape, yet that density and strength were quite.

“Oh, quite doing.”

Galahad purely admired.

“Quite? Crazy guy—.”

Then, the pioneer clenched the fist. The gorgeous fire bird scattered in an instant. Heat spread around.

“What act is this!”

The guy raised his voice looking at the pioneer. The pioneer was looking at Galahad not the guy. Those focusless eyes faintly shone.

‘As expected the prediction was correct.’

The situation was clearly drawn.

“Method?”

The pioneer’s aged voice lowly echoed and spread.

“Yes, would be at least three times faster than now.”

Compared to the pioneer’s huge gauntlet the lamp was quite small. A feeling precariously held.

The lamp’s gray fire shook as if fluttering in the wind. Surrounding ashes were full.

“That lamp is not used so.”

Galahad calmly said. The pioneer looked down at Galahad. Pressure tightly pressed Galahad.

The reaction came from the side.

“Ridiculous, a holy relic buried in the abyss until now. You knowing that usage?”

The guy flickered his tongue. Coolness tickled the neck.

“You, know how a holy relic acts?”

The pioneer’s gaze headed to the guy. At that the guy furrowed his eyes.

“Damn—. yes, a holy relic changes a magic beast to mana. With that widens Magic Realm.”

The guy answered in a voice tightly pressed the anger. At that Galahad shook his head.

“Not knowing.”

The guy snorted as if absurd.

“Ah. Yes? Then do you know?”

“Hmm, if not knowing even looking at that is that a mage. Sir Gilbert.”

“······What sir.”

Galahad looked up at the pioneer. The pioneer’s gaze headed to Galahad.

“A holy relic extorts a magic beast’s vitality. As the blood’s mana solubility lowers, mana naturally spreads. The magic beast tamer did not tell?”

“No sense.”

The guy twitched his head. Then the white snake opened its mouth with a jjeok. Fierce momentum fully spread.

Then—.

“Stop.”

The pioneer lowly said. Extremely heavy pressure pressed Galahad.

The white snake slammed its head on the ground. The guy on that only slightly shook. The guy furrowed his eyes.

“So?”

The pioneer asked in a rusty voice.

The guy watched with arms crossed as if saying continue. Leisure was abundant. To Galahad it was an opportunity.

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth while looking at the pioneer.

“What you need is a path heading to the emperor?”

Although no answer, the pressure slightly thinned. Sufficient answer.

“Yet now you are not opening a path, in the middle of widening the area. So in which years returning? Quite inefficient.”

The pioneer’s rusty armor made a bikkeok— sound. The snake guy snorted with a ha!

“Have to open a path.”

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.

Then, the guy lightly got off the snake. Although the pioneer’s pressure is strong, the guy moved without strain.

‘Quite.’

Galahad’s eyes deepened.

“Saying opening a path, chattering any words. If using a holy relic, there is no method other than widening the area.”

“To make a path, have to widen the area? You, stupid?”

At Galahad’s words the guy’s face became sealreuk. The face containing a sneer broke, and irritation rose.

“Pioneer.”

The guy held out the staff and said in a low voice. Exactly a voice as if reciting a spell.

The pioneer’s momentum changed. The surrounding air became twice heavier. Pressure deeply pressed Galahad. To the extent staggering for a moment.

‘There is control power.’

However, seeing the pioneer not attacking right away, seemed not complete.

“General Magnus.”

Galahad said mixing mana. The pioneer’s gaze fiercely turned.

Certainly reacted sensitively to the past.

Then—.

“Your Majesty is in danger.”

Galahad moved heavy lips.

Your Majesty—.

The pressure disappeared as if washed. The pioneer’s gaze became clear.

Truly a loyal general.

“Will see.”

The pioneer shortly said. That presence fully rose.

Galahad passed the disheveled hair. At that the guy’s eyes twisted.

“Stupid guy. Would there be a method of making a path? Mana made with a holy relic is bound to spread.”

The guy openly mocked. Certainly correct words.

Because a holy relic generates mana by bringing a demon race’s vitality. If leaving that quietly could only spread.

Then—.

“If making not spread it becomes.”

Galahad laughed while stroking the water bottle. And looked up at the pioneer.

“Come, will you lend the holy relic a moment?”

The pioneer slowly lowered the lamp. Soon held out the lamp in front of Galahad.

Galahad examined the clear lamp. Mana was full around. That mana’s density was thick. That cause—.

‘Stored vitality.’

The gray fire in the center of the lamp seemed vitality.

As expected. The lamp’s use seemed correct extracting vitality from a living being.

To Galahad there was the magic circle the first mage left. That magic circle compressed mana with vitality.

So if using that vitality, could use high-density mana.

The problem was the method of taking out vitality from the lamp. If touching the lamp—.

‘Would scatter like a magic beast.’

Along with that first facing that kind of vitality.

Galahad was now at the stage of getting to know vitality. Directly contacting was somehow unpleasant.

‘Have to use a tool.’

Galahad took out the golden rod from inside. The golden rod’s end was pointed. The reason often used when using a magic circle.

‘Set item.’

Instinctively felt it is a set item. If piercing that with such a golden rod, what reaction would come out.

Sincerely became curious. Curiosity fully filled the head.

Galahad deeply took a deep breath, and poked the gray fire with the golden rod with a kuk—.

The gray fire became large as if even put firewood. Following the gray fire transferred to the golden rod.

The transferred gray fire slowly rode up the golden rod. That cause was the embossed part of the golden rod.

That embossed trace guided the fire like a path.

‘It is a set item.’

The gray fire fully rode up the golden rod.

Soon reached the end, and something thrilling came over riding the hand. That feeling was somehow familiar.

‘Similar to when holding Adrianne’s hand.’

Only then Galahad understood the pain when holding Adrianne.

Not simply the pain of mana burning.

‘There is also the pain of receiving vitality.’

Galahad tightly— bit his teeth.

Although terrible extreme pain spread, not as much as when holding Adrianne. At that Galahad regained the mind.

The sensation subtly felt before fully came alive. Vitality spread to the whole body.

Thump! Thump! Thump! the pill of pain hurriedly rushed at the vitality. Rushed with eyes flipped, yet compared to vitality the pill of pain was too small.

At that Galahad shook his wrist. The magic circle the first mage left reacted to the vitality. Light fully spouted.

No need to sip the water bottle either. Huge vitality firmly compressed mana.

How sticky that density, the body seemed would burst right now.

Blood vessels fully rose on the skin. That undulating was actually seen. Quite terrible but—.

‘Thrilling.’

Galahad sincerely laughed.

Enjoying was also momentary. If not using mana right now a crisis the body bursts.

There was no mind or time to calculate.

In an urgent situation the magic Galahad stupidly piled revealed its true value.

“Wind path.”

A light wind blew riding the golden rod.

The wind path was magic made to push Magic Realm’s smoke.

Originally a use of pushing ashes but—.

‘If unfolding with mana of higher density than Magic Realm it becomes the opposite.’

Soon a passage composed of wind was positioned. That was a path composed of smoke.

The pioneer stopped with a ttuk— on the long unfolded path.

The focus blurred as if seeing something far.

“Just lit the ember. Quickly put firewood.”

Galahad calmly said.

Not a lie. Although changing a magic beast to mana and widening Magic Realm was permanent, pushing mana in with magic had a limit.

“Firewood—.”

The pioneer lowly said.

“Would need very large firewood.”

At that Galahad stared at the white snake the guy rode.

“Guy! Daring!”

Although the guy intensely reacted, already after the pioneer’s eyes flipped.

“No!”

The white snake was dragged by formless power. The pioneer brought the lamp to the white snake and—.

Ashes fully fluttered. The ashes did not scatter, and advanced riding the wind path Galahad made.

The path lengthened.

“For the empire—.”

The pioneer’s voice softly trembled. The pioneer advanced as many as three steps.

The pioneer looked at Galahad again.

“Ah, put firewood.”

Galahad slightly looked back.

Full of demon races wearing stupid armor.

The pioneer’s eyes shook.

At that Galahad—.

“Your Majesty is waiting.”

Lowly whispered.

The focus became clear in the pioneer’s eyes. As the pioneer waved his hand, the scattered demon races were fully dragged. From the beginning the demon races did not refuse.

Regardless of magic beasts, demon races the lamp continuously burst.

Then, eyes met with the guy. The guy revealed cool hostility to Galahad. It seemed quite cherished the white snake magic beast.

“Hmm, think returned to nature.”

Although sincerely consoled, the hostility became sharper.

****

“······Stubborn head?!”

Gwen rarely raised her voice. Resentment was full on that face. The opponent Gilbert was unfair.

“No, because genius.”

“Before that said stubborn head!”

“No, the captain called so first. Why only to me···.”

“Do not want to hear the sound of stupid from Sir Gilbert!”

Gwen pointedly answered. As the usually kind Gwen got angry seriously, Gilbert was quite flustered.

“Keum, this time Sir Gilbert did too much.”

“U—. was bad.”

Even Tom took Gwen’s side. Damien with a bandage wrapped on the shoulder booed.

“No, why—.”

Did these guys forget I am a knight. Gilbert was from the 1st Battalion, the elite of the North.

“U—.”

Damien booed again.

“Noisy. Damn kid.”

“Understood. Ugly uncle.”

At Damien’s counterattack Gilbert’s words were blocked.

“Rest end. Enter again.”

Then, Adrianne calmly ordered. Gilbert relieved.

Adrianne approached the Special Mission Unit side. Headed to Gwen the knights are guarding.

“Gwen, wiiind! Can do a bit?”

Adrianne seriously requested.

“Understood!”

Gwen vigorously answered and stepped forward. The knights around Gwen withdrew. Gilbert lowly laughed with a heuheu—.

Because Galahad not particularly worried, yet curious.

On earth how shaking hundreds of demon races alone—.

“Dislike fog! Wiiiiiind!”

Gwen largely shouted. A rough wind swept behind Gwen.

Following the wind slowly pushed the fog. Not all. Just degree of blurry. However, that was a very big difference.

Now a situation reached the main force.

Gilbert fixed the sword.

Other knights also raised aura.

Persistent tension circulated like the silence before a storm.

Yet—.

“······Nothing?”

The place the main force should be was empty.

There was one path composed of fog.

There—.

“That an arrow?”

A mark was drawn as if saying come here.

****

“No, saying put everything in water, what sound.”

Pumpkin said while tightly enduring the curse trying to burst.

“Frustrating! You, is it Gilbert?”

“Gilbert what dog sound is that.”

“Didn’t Galahad find by burning with fire. The remaining demon races would prepare for fire. Come, aiming at that weakness. The answer is water!”

First flicked his finger. And—.

“Primordial water—.”

Recited a spell very quietly and quickly. Water surged from those sturdy fingers.

‘Why reciting the spell quietly and quickly?’

Pumpkin was fed up. From the beginning didn’t even put a staff in the sword—.

“Come, mana flows from a low place to a high place. Then water made with mana?”

“······That it sticks to a demon race?”

“It is the correct answer.”

First laughed with a heuheu.

Certainly a clean and plausible method.

The problem—.

‘Just wanting to do differently from Galahad somehow, coolly so—.’

That the result is good was more unpleasant.

“Have to confirm first. Come, Pumpkin—.”

“Crazy—. get out.”
