Escape

‘This—.’

On the gray monochrome a small one blade of grass rose. That small grass grew and became a bush. The bush became lush and changed into a tree.

From that tree leaves endlessly fell.

The leaves became one blade of grass again, and again a bush subsequently a tree.

Soon a forest took place.

‘Flashy.’

Galahad furrowed his eyes.

Mana was not felt.

It was the feeling of entering the tiger’s den avoiding the fox.

However, the demon race calling itself ‘that person’ had a clear thing desired from Galahad.

The emperor’s death—.

If the purpose is clear one could predict.

Although the purpose was quite dangerous, it was better than not knowing at all.

‘The guy?’

Galahad confirmed the ruler.

The leisurely ruler’s face was furrowed. The emotion cast on that face—.

‘Fearing.’

To think of a high-rank demon race fearing—.

As the lush bush split, the guy appeared.

It was four feet like a deer. All were long and a white woman’s.

The face was a beauty of a holy face holding a faint smile.

It was such an exterior that the name angel suits better than demon race.

The four-legged demon race’s pupils moved. At that end there was panting Adrianne. Pure white aura was undulating as if exploding beyond the blazing level. It seemed the reason the four-legged demon race appeared.

It seemed already surpassed the level Adrianne can handle. The nature did not stop.

Exactly as if Adrianne is fuel it blazed more roughly.

‘Reduce the authority a bit.’

The four-legged demon race’s gaze headed to Galahad. Galahad’s vision flickered.

At some point Galahad was falling from a thousand-gil cliff. As if even that is insufficient eagles passing stuck and pecked and ate.

At that Galahad—.

“Didn’t I say. Such is useless.”

Clicked his tongue softly.

The vision twisted. He was in the forest again.

[You are crazy.]

At the frank evaluation Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

Then, the ruler turned the rod with a binggeul—. A faint sneer rose on that face.

“What should be in the pit daring to appear in my territory?”

The ruler jeered while looking at the four-legged demon race. That voice faintly trembled.

‘Pit?’

At a new word Galahad’s eyes narrowed.

The demon races Galahad caught were mostly prepared against mental interference.

The demon race was the natural enemy and compatibility of mages. Mages who can hang magic on the demon race were rare. So there was no way the preparation target is a mage.

‘Is the pit like exile?’

Galahad remembered the newly obtained clue.

‘Not easy.’

Is it because there are two high-rank demon races. One could not even breathe as one pleases.

The surroundings were quiet as if the world is watching the atmosphere.

Then, the four-legged demon race’s gaze headed to the ruler. The ruler trembled his body a little.

The ruler held out the gold rod and stiffened his expression.

“What is here is anyway an illusion. What can you do?”

The ruler jeered and largely swung the gold rod.

The bush split and the tree broke. Gray filled that empty place. Gray that spread as if worm-eaten slowly broke the forest.

Soon half of the forest disappeared.

[Correct. I am not here.]

A soft voice like a nap on a warm day tickled the mind. The four-legged demon race’s mouth did not move.

“Then get lost. You without even a crown.”

The ruler waved the gold rod again. It seemed cherishing the gold rod very much.

Gray spread a bit more and pushed the forest more.

‘Is it being pushed?’

Galahad furrowed his eyes and looked up at the four-legged demon race.

Then, the four-legged demon race tilted its head. Green leaves spread from that hair.

[However—.]

A refreshing grass scent blew again.

[Are you here?]

“What—.”

The ruler blurred the end of the words.

The ruler’s eyes fully loosened. The guy’s head bent. Breath became even rougher. That shoulder slightly trembled.

‘Quite rough though.’

Inside one would have died dozens of times. Galahad softly empathized.

The four-legged demon race’s legs moved elegantly. The four legs advanced one by one as if matching balance.

[Asking again.]

As the four-legged demon race approached closer the ruler’s trembling became severe.

The ruler’s knee bent. The eyes reddened. Blood that burst long flowed around that mouth.

[Are you here.]

The four-legged demon race quietly looked down at the ruler.

Right before kneeling as if worshiping, the ruler stopped.

The ruler who chewed the mouth spat something with a tue—.

That was a red flesh lump. It was what chewed and spat one’s own lips.

The ruler’s eyes returned again.

The guy slowly opened his mouth. Blood roughly flowed between the lips cut one handful.

‘Regrettable.’

Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

“This place is my territory.”

The ruler stood while leaning on the gold rod. The momentum was more intense than before.

At that the four-legged demon race stepped back one step.

[This child is my servant.]

The four-legged demon race said while looking at Galahad. Servant—. the words were regrettable. Galahad furrowed his eyes.

“A guy who fell into the pit coveting a thing. One has to definitely put in my collection.”

The ruler said while tidying the gold club.

Desire was sticky in that voice.

‘Being popular is also a fault.’

At the two demon races’ gazes Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

The ruler’s momentum gradually became rough. The eyes looking at Galahad were unusual.

It seemed the four-legged demon race appearing stimulated the guy more.

The four-legged demon race looked at Galahad and opened its mouth for the first time.

[Kill the emperor.]

It was felt that it is not a simple order.

Galahad nodded.

The ruler swung the gold rod. The forest scattered again. Gray tore the green. The demon races stepped one step.

Crisis fully rose.

The four-legged demon race looked at the guy and—.

[Where are you.]

Moved its mouth.

There was no forest anymore. Only the ruler’s movement stopped with a tuk—. The guy’s pupils were dyed red.

The ruler stiffened as is without even blinking the eyes.

The four-legged demon race also became quiet.

At that Galahad grasped the situation.

‘Binding is all.’

The ruler was a high-rank demon race that made Adrianne run wild and Galahad’s hair stand on end just with the appearance.

To think of binding such a high-rank demon race with mental interference—.

‘Amazing.’

However, the problem still remained.

“Can’t something be done about the other guys?”

The city’s demon races and humans were gradually moving. Gazes full of hostility headed to Galahad.

The four-legged demon race did not answer.

Galahad clicked his tongue softly and first examined Adrianne. The stupid helmet was rolling beside.

Adrianne’s state was not good. Pure white aura now blazed roughly as if pouring fuel. Blue blood vessels were full on Adrianne’s face.

As the ruler and subsequently even the four-legged demon race appeared it seemed unable to control power.

The solution was simple.

It was the problem of just killing the power completely.

Adrianne would also know that, but she did not do so.

The reason enduring like that even though one’s own body is burning was obvious.

‘It would be the sense of responsibility of protecting this side.’

Truly a foolish woman.

Galahad clicked his tongue and stood in front of Adrianne.

“Put the aura.”

The pupils reddened with burst capillaries stared at Galahad.

Stupid stubbornness was full in those eyes.

“Are you thinking of swinging that once and dying? It is a power you cannot handle yet.”

Adrianne’s pupils blinked.

‘With words it will not work.’

There was no time to persuade.

Galahad clicked his tongue softly and stepped with a seongkeum.

“······!”

Adrianne’s pupils became large.

Galahad approached one more step without stopping.

Pure white aura undulated right in front of Galahad’s face.

The moment touching it will melt. It was clear it will become dust like the demon race cut by Adrianne’s sword.

However, Galahad was certain Adrianne would not do so.

At that he stepped one more step.

Adrianne burst a small breath. Whether chewing the lips blood flowed around the mouth. Aura became a little smaller.

Galahad stepped the foot again.

Pure white aura brushed in front of that. The front hair fluttered as dust.

Aura stepped away with a seongkeum. Sweat was full on Adrianne’s face.

“Your skin is really good.”

“Are you crazy?!”

Adrianne raised her voice for the first time.

“Why doing such a reckless act—!”

“I believed you. Didn’t you also believe me.”

Adrianne gaped her mouth. It was an appearance as if too angry, but no known curse.

Galahad packed the rolling helmet and held it out to Adrianne.

“There is no time. Please the remaining members.”

Galahad immediately headed to the ruler.

The ruler was still stiffened in the posture of holding out the rod as is.

The ruler’s exterior was somewhat funny. It was the appearance of a young child wearing a crown larger than one’s own head and holding a gold rod.

However, the momentum blowing even though suppressed was intense. To the extent the skin stings.

The ruler stared at Galahad moving only the pupils.

Galahad flicked his finger for a moment, and pondered whether to try killing the guy.

Soon he shook his head. It will break right away.

Galahad who finished the calculation took out an empty water bottle from his bosom. He cleanly wiped the mouth of the water bottle.

The ruler’s gaze stared at Galahad. It seemed curious what doing.

At that Galahad laughed and—.

“Hmm, will you give a bit of strength to the lips?”

He placed the water bottle under the guy’s chin. He did his best so as not to touch by any chance.

Blood that fell from the ruler’s torn lips was contained in the water bottle. The ruler’s pupils shook a little.

Blood gradually filled in the water bottle.

While containing blood like that, the back became noisy. Demon races and humans were revealing clear hostility and climbing the stairs. Even though several fell because the stairs are narrow the guys ran roughly.

“Regrettable.”

The gold rod of the guy was seen to Galahad who was packing the water bottle.

Whether a thing the guy cherishes very much hand stains were full. The ruler was holding the end of the gold rod.

‘If pulling will it come out?’

Galahad looked for a moment and slightly pulled. The gold rod came out with a ssok—.

The ruler’s body roughly shook. Those pupils became large and then small.

The fierce sound of teeth grinding with a padeudeuk— was heard.

“Half—.”

The ruler’s mouth moved very a little. It would roughly be a threat.

“Sorry but, because there are a bit many guys aiming at me. The waiting line is a bit long.”

Galahad shook the gold rod and water bottle, and turned without lingering.

Whether Adrianne woke everyone was up except Gwen.

“Youngest? I lost consciousness? Clearly holding the sword··· huh? Something terrible···. What was it?”

Gilbert muttered reluctantly while tidying his own head.

“Slept well.”

Damien liked while stretching. Tom packed the fainted Gwen.

“Come, now let’s go.”

Galahad shook the water bottle. The amount was not much. Just about one sip degree.

This degree would be sufficient.

Kwaang! With a heavy sound the wall collapsed.

Fully bunched demon races and humans ran. It was truly a terrible appearance.

The leading demon race opened the snout with a jjeok. He flew a sharp ice awl into that snout. The demon race vomited blood and fell backward. Three demon races pushed into that place.

It was a terrible demon race tidal wave.

“Ah, if caught it is the tagger.”

Galahad said leisurely.

****

“Huu—.”

Adrianne exhaled hot breath and pulled the sword. The demon race with a hole pierced in the chest burst a painful scream.

Dust spread. Soon the demon race collapsed as is. As if waiting another demon race filled that place.

The nature of burning horses blazed more roughly than any time. Even pressing that was hard.

Because of the high-rank demon race faced.

Although the high-rank demon race called ruler was also a problem—.

‘What on earth is that demon race.’

The demon race that appeared behind, that was not a simple high-rank demon race.

The moment facing Adrianne could not control the nature.

The nature of burning mana burned even Adrianne and raised the momentum more.

If not Galahad, the nature would have eaten Adrianne.

The aura that could not be controlled momentarily fully rose. The arm was hot as if burning. Adrianne urgently drew the sword.

A pure white line was long drawn on the group of demon races following.

Nearly ten demon races and humans disappeared as dust.

Almost dropped the sword. Adrianne clenched her teeth and desperately pressed the nature. Aura barely extinguished.

“This side.”

Then, a calm voice was heard. It was the leading Galahad.

Gilbert the left, the kid called Damien the right, Adrianne took the back.

Galahad was the lead. A mage standing at the lead, it was an absurd formation.

However, the others’ states were too not good.

Gilbert whose aura was torn and eaten by Damien had not yet perfectly recovered aura, and Adrianne could not control aura.

Because of that Galahad was standing at the lead.

No matter how Galahad, a mage standing at the lead. Although unable to accept, Galahad nailed saying it is an order.

Then—.

“Kyahaak!”

Demon races fell from above. It was a shape closer to magic beasts than demon races.

Galahad flicked his finger upward. Sparks bounced. A flashy lightning flower that bloomed in an instant headed to them.

The demon race’s body roughly trembled. The eyes momentarily loosened.

Peoeok—. The demon races that fell as is on the ground paused for a moment. Although a moment, to Adrianne a very long time.

The demon race’s neck rose into the air. Thick ash was sprayed like blood.

In the meantime Galahad stuck an ice awl into the shoulder of the demon race blocking the front.

The demon race hesitated—. this time Gilbert flew the demon race’s neck.

Efficient to an amazing degree.

‘······Is this a mage?’

She no longer talked about the lead.

Demon races and humans poured from all around. The moment slowing even a little it was clear one would be caught by the guys behind,

There was no more conversation. Only rough breath sound and the demon race’s scream, cheers were all.

Enemies from all around on the achromatic monochrome—. it was the feeling of being chased by the entire city.

One could not even know where the path is.

They just looked at Galahad’s back and ran.

Like that how far did one run—.

“The rear come inside. Damien and Gilbert fill a bit larger.”

A crude order came down from the front.

No one raised a question.

“A bit calmed?”

Galahad asked while looking at Adrianne.

“Yes, fine.”

“Gather strength to swing largely once.”

Adrianne nodded.

Then, far away a large gate was seen. It was the door entered the city.

Around that there were many magic beasts and demon races.

From the huge magic beast with several necks seen when entering, to neatly dressed demon races diverse.

The common point was that all reveal hostility while looking this way.

“Sir Gilbert and Damien block the back.”

Galahad gave an order as if predicted.

“Knight— Gilbert!”

“Just Damien.”

The position changed again. Adrianne stepped forward while firmly holding the sword.

“That you have to process.”

“Yes, fine.”

Adrianne nodded and corrected the sword grip.

While running she tidied a little. Although the nature was still violently blazing, one time degree one could somehow do.

No, one had to do.

Adrianne corrected the sword grip.

Then, Galahad whispered beside.

“Do not think of cutting.”

Adrianne concentrated without asking.

“Imagine burning.”

Not cutting but burning—.

One could not understand.

At that Adrianne did not try to understand.

“Yes.”

Just believed.

*

‘Will it work?’

Galahad narrowed his eyes and examined Adrianne.

It was explaining Adrianne’s nature that Galahad found out.

Because Galahad also is not clear, there was not much explanation one can do.

Half-believing half-doubting.

Even if Adrianne processes half the rest one could push somehow.

Then, Adrianne’s aura fully blazed.

As if eaten by aura again, the moment trying to step forward—.

Adrianne swung the sword.

Thick white fire spread following that.

Adrianne’s sword was honest and noble.

In contrast the sword Adrianne unfolded now had no order.

That was closer to fire than sword skill.

A very fierce fire that does not stop before burning everything—.

Pure white fire swallowed the demon races and magic beasts around the gate.

That fire rather became larger in size every time swallowing one.

The demon race was firewood. And that excellently dried firewood—.

The fire disappeared only after eating all the demon races.

In the place where over thirty demon races were there was only dust full.

‘Absurd.’

Even if explained what realized about Adrianne’s nature, to think of applying like that right away—.

‘Doing this.’

As expected a sword that burns the demon race’s king.

“It seems one will fall for you.”

Adrianne burst rough breath. The stupid helmet dalkkeuraked. Below that disheveled blonde was seen.

The always firm posture staggered.

It seemed reached the limit.

Adrianne leaned on the sword.

Galahad supported Adrianne.

“Fine?”

Dalkkeurak. Whether no strength to even speak Adrianne nodded.

Gilbert swung the sword from behind. Tom carrying Gwen on the back waved the shield here and there and pushed the demon race. Damien’s ash color aura cut the demon race.

Soon they arrived at the gate.

Galahad pushed Adrianne in. Behind that Tom carrying Damien and Gwen entered.

Gilbert who last passed the gate pushed the door with strength.

Whether no strength the foot spun empty.

“A knight not being able to use strength like this.”

Galahad clicked his tongue softly and stuck beside Gilbert.

“I will also help.”

Tom stuck subsequently.

Damien held the sword and cut the demon races coming in between the gate.

Red blood fully bounced.

A commotion briefly continued.

Soon—.

Kung!!

The gate firmly closed.

“Barely succeeded.”

Galahad wiped his forehead and laughed.

“What is that?”

At Gilbert’s question Adrianne turned her head.

A familiar thing was held in Galahad’s hand.

It was a long rod made of gold.

‘Where did I see that—.’

Adrianne who was furrowing her eyes realized that identity.

It was the rod the ruler was holding.

Why bringing that.

No, when on earth—.

“Ah, it is a collection.”

Galahad waved the gold rod and laughed refreshingly.

At that Adrianne coughed three times consecutively.
