Chapter 99

Delicious

The Grand Duke was always in the place.

Theodore who deeply bowed his head slowly reported.

“A few more soldiers are needed for the ordered magic tower construction. If having to raise the speed—.”

“Magic tower?”

At the Grand Duke’s low question Theodore bowed his head deeper.

“I ordered a magic tower—?”

At the rough voice like a beast’s cry the staff softly trembled. Theodore desperately moved the heavy lips.

“Captain Galahad said permitted—.”

“Hmm.”

The Grand Duke’s groan was rougher and more threatening than a beast’s roar. The staff trembled with a badeul badeul.

When a few weak ones among the staff their breath became rough, the Grand Duke nodded.

If only a little later, a few among the staff would have fainted. Theodore softly relieved.

A huge white hawk entered through the window. The Grand Duke’s eyes became fierce. Although roughly furrowing the face, Theodore knew that is the Grand Duke’s smile.

The hawk handed a letter to the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke carefully opened the envelope.

The Grand Duke’s eyes fully furrowed. Rough breath leaked. That was not a smile but anger.

‘······Anger?’

His Highness the Grand Duke getting angry at Adrianne’s letter? The atmosphere became heavy in an instant. The staff trembled with a badeul badeul again.

Then, the Grand Duke’s mouth opened.

“Order all units. Gather at the 6th Battalion.”

Ordering all units—. it was a large order the Grand Duke gives after a long time. What on earth matter—. although a question rose, the staff once moved.

The Grand Duke crumpled the letter as is. Theodore who was closest could slightly see that content.

[Says a high-rank demon race who moved to the 6th Battalion is doing a housewarming. A housewarming that passed 10 days······.]

Theodore’s mouth opened with a jjeok.

It was clear Galahad’s. If not him, who dares send such a crazy letter to the Grand Duke.

‘A high-rank demon race in the 6th Battalion—.’

The 6th Battalion currently the captain was vacant.

At that Theodore who was urgently moving felt a subtle feeling.

One among the staff’s action was subtle.

Somewhere—.

Awkward.

Theodore’s eyes deeply sank.

“Really thinking of going alone?”

At Giselle who put on the fox mask again’s question Galahad nodded.

“Why? Ah, I have no thought of helping.”

“Because that has the highest possibility. And never said help.”

The fox mask laughed with a keng—. It was a mysterious laughter sound.

Galahad took out the cigarette and put in his mouth. Stuck the inner water bottle on the waist. Prepared so one can take out anytime.

“I will ask one.”

“Saying again, I have no thought of helping.”

“I know. Because that is more fun—. right?”

“Oh my, caught.”

Galahad clicked his tongue softly and flicked his finger. Fire attached to the cigarette. Lemon scent spread.

The 6th Battalion’s castle wall was thick and huge. Above the castle wall soldiers blankly were full. The soldiers had neither expression nor small movement.

To the extent looking like a part of the castle wall.

Cheok—. the indifferent pupils above the castle wall simultaneously headed to Galahad.

Something jumped down from the castle wall. Puk. Red blood fully splashed. It was a soldier. The soldier whose head bent looked up at Galahad. Something behind the murky pupils was felt.

“The hand taste was good.”

Galahad shook the gold rod at that. The soldier’s mouth opened with a jjeok. Flicked his finger.

Puk—. an ice awl deeply stuck into the soldier’s neck. The soldier’s eyes only then closed.

Kkiik—.

The castle gate opened with a terrible sound. The piled snow was pushed and scattered. Soon beyond the widely opened castle gate was dark.

In that darkness pupils were full. Soldiers, demon races, magic beasts—. various eyes stared at Galahad.

‘If went frontally would have suffered a bit.’

The number was more than expected. It seemed quite cleanly occupied the 6th Battalion.

“So what is the request?”

The fox mask approached with a seongkeum. Although close no body odor came. There was also no small scent.

“Ah it is not special. Absolutely do not step forward.”

Whether not expected, the fox mask’s head gesture stopped with a tuk.

The fox mask’s military force could not be gauged. Her personality was picky. It was a variable. An uncontrollable variable excluding was principle.

Soon the fox mask nodded.

“Fun. Understood. I will swear on mana. Absolutely will not step forward.”

The fox mask said while twitching its hand. Something undulated around that.

‘Oath on mana.’

It was a story that remained as history. Very long ago mages swore on mana—.

A tradition that disappeared as relying more on mana stones and magic tools than mana.

“You, the age is many.”

The fox mask’s movement stopped with a tuk—. At that Galahad laughed with a keul keul and moved his steps.

As entering the castle the gazes all around moved following Galahad. Galahad put strength in the waist and straightened the posture.

“Nice to meet. Special Mission Unit Captain Galahad.”

As laughing and shaking the gold rod, the guys’ eyes simultaneously furrowed.

‘Amazing control power.’

Would not be mental interference. Mentally interfering and controlling all that many numbers would be impossible no matter how the guy. Along with that the guys’ actions were rough. Exactly like dolls—.

The guys wrapping the surroundings full split. A bizarre path composed of demon races and magic beasts, humans was made. It was a small path to the extent both sides’ breaths touch if walking.

Galahad clicked his tongue softly and moved his steps.

“Do you know that?”

The fox mask’s voice was heard from behind. Galahad countered while looking at the front.

“What.”

“Demon races have no emotions.”

The fox mask made an out of the blue sound. It was a fact already knowing.

Demon races did not feel fear even the moment sticking an ice awl in the neck. Revealing teeth even right before bending the neck was a demon race.

“Yet if the blood becomes thick···. Ah, in that side’s words if becoming a high-rank demon race one emotion arises.”

“An emotion arises?”

Although an interesting topic, Galahad nodded only as if no interest. Actually busy examining the surroundings.

“Yes, the ruler is possessiveness. If the ruler likes anything wants to have. Humans also demon races, treasures also.”

“I see.”

Galahad nodded. Wondering why obsessing so, it was because of possessiveness.

‘Is the fox mask interest.’

The fox mask approached with a seongkeum. Asked while nodding.

“If that side becomes a demon race what emotion do you think will remain?”

An excited look was full in the voice. What is so excited—. Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

“There is no matter of me becoming a demon race. A completely useless pondering.”

“Still might not know?”

The fox mask whispered. If not answering it seemed would not step back.

‘Annoying.’

“If one emotion remains last to me—.”

Galahad’s pondering was short.

Because anyway there was only one—.

“It would be academic zeal.”

At Galahad’s answer full of conviction the fox mask’s head stopped with a tuk—.

Galahad moved his steps without caring. The faint breaths all around continuously tickled.

The place the path composed of expressionless humans and demon races guided was somewhat unexpected.

‘It was not the inner castle.’

Galahad guessed the guy would be in the inner castle. Because the inner castle is more easy for defense—.

Yet the guided place was rather the outer castle side.

‘A warehouse?’

Close to the back gate, a place surrounded by collapsed warehouses around. Such an exquisite location easy to approach while at the same time not attracting others’ gazes.

Exactly—.

‘Like an Information Bureau safe house.’

Galahad’s eyes deepened. This was not obtained right away.

‘Was attempting something in the 6th Battalion.’

Kkiik.

The warehouse’s door roughly opened. The inside of the door was dark like an abyss. Even in that small door there was a demon race. It was an appearance absolutely not wanting to enter.

‘Hmm—.’

Galahad looked at the sky for a moment and headed to the door.

Inside sticky darkness was full. Faint breath sounds were simultaneously heard from all around. It was the feeling of the entire room breathing.

‘Unpleasant.’

Galahad clicked his tongue softly and turned mana. Thump! Thump! Thump! the pill of pain diligently jumped. Whether felt the seriousness of the situation, continuously spewed mana.

Soon thick density mana tightly turned.

The inside of the warehouse the density was higher than outside. Demon races were densely standing. Gazes stuck following every step. Numerous heads moved following Galahad.

“A bit burdensome.”

Galahad muttered a joke, and headed inside.

At the end of that warehouse people were fully bunched. Looking closely it was a bizarre chair made by crumpling and inserting people as if assembling.

A child wearing a crown with the middle empty crookedly—.

“Guy.”

The ruler thickly laughed while looking at Galahad.

Simultaneously the room’s air became heavy. Exactly as if the air became heavy fully pressed the shoulders. Truly a huge presence,

“High.”

Simultaneously the pressure became heavier. To the extent Galahad momentarily staggered. The knees bent on their own.

It was the feeling of not the mind but the instinct itself yielding to the guy. Although an astonishing authority—.

‘Less than last time.’

A natural story. Although a warehouse full of demon races, here was not Magic Realm.

That the ruler’s power weakened was natural.

A moment something rose from below the mind. It was blue forest scent. Green freshness woke Galahad’s mind.

‘This was it.’

It was clear the unidentified power the four-legged demon race gave while touching Galahad’s forehead.

Not Magic Realm but the weakened ruler’s authority, there even the unidentified power the four-legged demon race gave—. the knees that bent on their own stopped.

‘Hmm—.’

The ruler’s authority was power that makes yield. As the fox mask’s words when things below cannot rebel, exerted overwhelming power.

For example one could know just looking at the current 6th Battalion.

However, now was a little different.

Although the knees were a little tight, Galahad did not yield. Could endure the ruler’s authority.

Along with that there was also the water bottle containing the ruler’s blood.

‘If this the story changes.’

Then—.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The pill of pain started roughly jumping. The pill of pain fully spewed heat. Rough impulse came over as is.

The pill of pain was thoroughly strong weak weak strong.

That the pill of pain showing such a reaction—.

‘It is that doable.’

Galahad’s eyes deeply sank.

Then, the ruler stood from the seat.

Galahad slowly bowed.

*

“Arrogant thing,”

The ruler twisted the corners of its mouth while looking at Galahad flatly prostrated.

Although concentrated power quite, the guy endured quite. Honestly a little surprised.

However, that was also a moment.

As the ruler concentrated authority, the guy collapsed as is.

Eventually, the guy prostrated as if worshiping toward the ruler.

It was a guy not a knight. Even the guy was a mage. How would a guy who is the demon race’s subordinate defy the owner ruler.

What the ruler guarded was not the guy.

It was the forgotten existence that came out behind the guy. If the forgotten existence that should be in the pit appeared like last time it was awkward. At that the ruler did not unfold Magic Realm.

From the beginning there was no need for Magic Realm to process one mage guy.

“Late.”

The ruler muttered while looking at the fox mask behind the guy.

“Late? Regrettable. Isn’t it exactly 10 days?”

“Tch, if I am late it is late. Almost executed the plan.”

A moment the air sank. The fox mask stared at the ruler.

“Surely not opened?”

The fox mask asked in a sunk voice. At that the ruler twisted the corners of its mouth.

“If you were only a little later it would have opened.”

The ruler quietly stared at the fox mask. Disliked from before. Daring stretching to oneself—.

“Haa, still fortunate. Because not opened.”

The fox mask raised both hands and stepped back one step. At that the ruler raised the corners of its mouth.

The ruler’s gaze headed to the guy again. Expressionless people flatly prostrated in front of the ruler. The ruler stepped on that like stairs and advanced.

“Daring taking my command rod? Because the damn traitor’s disciple the conduct is similar.”

Although the damn traitor’s smell came from the guy, did not completely believe the words disciple. Because humans were cunning existences who always put lies in the mouth.

But the moment the forgotten existence came out to help the guy, the ruler was certain.

That the guy is the damn traitor’s disciple.

“Learned very properly from the damn traitor. Learned very properly.”

The ruler quietly looked down at the guy. The guy was flatly prostrated and did not move even a little.

“Do you know why I said bring you alive?”

The corners of the ruler’s mouth twisted.

“You are bait. Bait to call the traitor who dared take my jewel.”

The ruler tidied the empty part of the crown. The place where a jewel should originally be stuck was empty. How long period looked for.

The corners of the ruler’s mouth savagely twisted. Will call the damn traitor through the guy, and fill the crown again.

It was time to recover the taken power and glory.

“A disciple is a disciple. Daring coveting my thing the same.”

The ruler held the command rod the guy held out. At the cool touch the corners of the ruler’s mouth rose.

“Daring taking the key. I will give all the pains one can experience as punishment. Be happy that one can receive my punishment.”

The ruler who was pulling the command rod furrowed its eyes. The command rod did not budge at all. The guy’s hand was holding the end of the command rod.

‘Was the authority too strong.’

The ruler clicked its tongue softly.

It seemed used authority too strongly. Because the ruler’s authority is noble and territorial fine adjustment was hard.

Reduced authority and pulled the command rod again—.

‘Why not moving?’

The ruler’s brows furrowed.

“Let go.”

Then, the guy raised his head. Capillaries all burst and the eyes were red. Red blood continuously— flowed around the mouth. A fishy blood smell fully blew.

That was the ruler’s blood.

‘What is this—.’

The guy flicked his finger.

The ruler furrowed its eyes.

Only magic possessing such weight—.

A cool ice spear rose in front of the guy. Intense and sharp to the extent unbelievable that human magic.

However, anyway it was magic.

There was no way the ruler would receive.

That moment—.

‘Dangerous.’

The ruler instinctively twisted its body.

Cool ice pierced the ruler’s neck. The ruler’s neck was half torn. Blood fully sprayed. The ruler urgently held its head.

‘What—.’

The ruler hurriedly moved back. A thick ice stuck into the ruler’s shoulder.

Only then the ruler realized the situation.

The guy’s magic—.

‘Surpasses space.’

Ice popped out from all around. Shoulder, foot, thigh, waist—.

Ice stuck in places.

Magic that surpasses space—. certainly picky, but the ruler was a high-rank demon race.

The ruler sensed momentary mana and twisted its body.

Pointed ice narrowly brushed the ruler’s neck.

A moment clear sense of crisis rose. The ruler pulled authority without hesitation.

Gave up dozens of subordinates and concentrated authority.

Not knowing when made, a thick ice spear was accurately aiming at the heart.

Only then the ruler realized the guy induced oneself.

It was a calculation sharp to an unbelievable degree.

This could not be avoided.

An ice spear long stuck into the chest.

The ruler’s figure roughly shook.

However, the ruler did not collapse.

“Making me take out authority—. amazing.”

How long since took out authority.

Predicting even the path the ruler would retreat, and preparing a trump card—. certainly a sharp attack.

With just now abandoned eighty subordinates degree.

Had no choice but to acknowledge.

But eventually, the guy’s aim failed.

“Although a confident strike, regrettable.”

The ruler raised the corners of its mouth and examined the guy.

Was thinking of savoring the guy’s despair.

Yet the guy’s reaction was different from the ruler’s expectation.

The guy looking at the ruler—.

“You, delicious.”

Licked the blood stuck around the mouth.

‘Saying binding the ruler alone—.’

Adrianne furrowed her eyes while looking at the castle far away.

Although knowing Galahad is an amazing mage, eventually a mage. That opponent was the ruler who is a high-rank demon race. Galahad binding the ruler did not make sense.

Last time could escape thanks to another demon race. Adrianne furrowed her eyes. At that time because the nature ran wild too much the memory was not intact.

Clearly a situation one must oppose. Too reckless but—.

[Believe me.]

Adrianne chewed her lips.

“It will be fine.”

Then, a low voice was heard from beside. It was First. Adrianne softly furrowed her eyebrows.

“The opponent is a high-rank demon race. How can it be fine?”

“Didn’t already face the guy called the ruler once?”

“······Correct.”

“Although Galahad is bold, not a reckless man.”

First said while twitching his finger. Adrianne’s eyebrows went down.

“If he said it becomes, it becomes.”

Conviction was full in First’s voice. Pumpkin beside that nodded.

“We just have to do what we are in charge of properly.”

At that conviction firm to a bizarre degree Adrianne furrowed her eyebrows.

Here also, there also, just words of believing.

‘Stuffy.’

Adrianne was not one who waits.

A knight who leads at the forefront—.

However, it was already after Galahad entered.

What one can do on this side was only believing.

The problem—.

“······Late.”

No matter how waiting there was no signal.
