67. Demons

Isn’t it really funny?

Obviously, the war situation just before was overwhelmingly unfavorable.

The Royal Guard Knights, the strongest in close combat.

An anti-mage, sorcery judge.

The best power and combination of the kingdom where sword and magic coexist were mixed.

Even with only two people joining, the victory that had been hidden was shown, and the balance of the weight was right.

Of course, victory here isn’t simply getting rid of them all or annihilating them all.

“You must not kill. Just clear the road.”

“Yeah?”

“What?”

The two of them look back at me again. There was a mix of displeasure on his face.

“No, these are the guys who tried to kill the professor? I was thinking of tearing them all limb from limb and feeding them to the dogs.”

“Master, I don’t call a fight a fight without blood. It’s kind of like playing house.”

It was surprising that the two had very different feelings, but the conclusion was the same.

It’s so embarrassing to come out so confidently, but I answer with certainty.

“Shut up and just follow me.”

These unbridled guys needed to be rough and tight together. After all, both of you will listen to me anyway.

“Huh! I know! professor!”

Aria is making an ecstatic expression. She struggles and swings her sword in a good mood.

It was a playful look, but even in that, I felt a sense of pressure.

I wasn’t the main character of the 2nd episode who came to see the ending for nothing.

“hahahaha, I’m suddenly very interested. Well, the ax was so rotten that I didn’t think it could even scratch their armor.”

Findenai is sarcastic looking at the ax of Darius he is holding. Even so, he throws the box he was carrying on his back at me.

“Oh right. take this.”

“… … .”

The box rattles across the floor and rolls across the floor, approaching my feet. The moment you see it, your brow narrows.

“Don’t you know what’s inside?”

“You know? How did you know where it was hidden?”

The item I was trying to secure in advance by sending Aria and Findenai.

Depending on your point of view, it was an item that could be considered the most valuable item on the continent, but seeing how it was handled, I thought it was Pinden Eye.

First of all, I needed someone to entrust it to, so I gave it to Deia, who was right behind me.

“It’s an important thing. Have a good one.”

“Yes?”

Deia uses magic power gun, so it won’t be very helpful in battle.

At that time, the three musketeers of the scrap metal shop passed me and ran forward.

“Leader! Long time no see!”

“Kiya! Are you still wearing it?”

“Kingdom bastards are going to go crazy!”

Looking at his colleagues who rushed to welcome him, Finden Ai also smiled mischievously.

“Come on guys, get your weapons up. Don’t shame the scrap dealer’s face.”

“Yep!”

The three musketeers, who joined Finden Ai right away, start to lively, unlike their lethargic appearances until just now.

“Is it support?”

The Rock Pelican next to me asks, brushing his beard. I nodded my head and replied confidently.

“Those two will buy me enough time.”

“It certainly doesn’t seem like a normal bet. Especially that little girl… … Even I cannot fathom the depth.”

Arya, who started fighting before she knew it, was raging like a storm against the sorcerer judge.

Since they are judges who specialize in dealing with magicians, Arya only uses swordsmanship.

“I’m grateful for the professor’s mercy, originally I was going to kill everyone here.”

In particular, it seemed easier because there was a feeling that the internal injuries suffered by Chief Judge Tairn in the battle with me had not fully recovered.

“Big!”

“Professor, you are not someone you can do carelessly.”

Not only that, while getting the item I asked for, Arya was wielding a unique item called ‘Riebelungen’s Sword’ as if she had also obtained her own sword.

Looking at it this way, I felt that Finden Eye was a little weak.

The fact that she didn’t have any of the equipment she used when she was active as a boss in a chapter had a significant effect.

“Please support my maid. Arya will be able to handle it alone.”

“Kuhm, I see.”

Rock Pelican’s mana echoes through the earth again. Since he’s a Rock Pelican who doesn’t get along very well with the Sorcery Judges, dealing with the Knights will be comfortable.

“Shall I go too?”

Darius drew his sword and strode forward. After contemplating which side to help, he glanced at the knights with Finden Eye and turned his gaze to the opposite side, Aria.

“Ugh, I’m still scared.”

Deia clicks her tongue as she sees Darius, whose memories of being beaten by Finden Eye are still scarred.

But I put my hand on the shoulder of Darius who was trying to hide from the sorcery judges.

“Pierce the Knights side. Follow me well.”

I wondered if Darius would be able to clear the way in front of me, so I called him separately.

He gestures to Deia and instructs her to stay behind.

“Am I going too?”

“Yes, I have something to do.”

Unintentionally, the item in the box that Deia now had was the most effective item to solve this case.

The moment we were about to move to break through the Royal Guard.

Quaang!

Findenai’s ax collided with Gloria’s red greatsword. With a violent explosion, the two make the same movements as if they were breathing.

“Get out of the way!”

But unfortunately, Gloria, the leader of the knights, was one step ahead.

The longer the battle lasts, the stronger it is, so I don’t know if a little more time has passed.

For now, Gloria’s side was clearly overwhelming.

“It’s fucking!”

Even so, Finden Eye’s pupils did not die at all. On the contrary, he laughs and shows colorful movements.

Finden-Eye’s graceful movements overrode the knight’s stiff and static movements.

It was an acrobatics that I was able to do because I was a Finden child who had faced numerous crises while living as a resistance member.

Despite the response from Finden-I, who suddenly started avoiding a head-to-head match, Gloria calmly swung her sword.

An honest yet solid figure could be called a model of a knight.

Unfortunately, Finden I was the type to value results rather than process.

As Finden-Eye fell back with her white hair fluttering, a huge hand rose from the ground and attacked Gloria.

“This is magic!”

Gloria’s sword swung quickly, shattering the giant hand and turning it back into a handful of dirt.

While hiding in a pile of dirt, Findeneye hit again and hit Gloria right in the chest.

The ax lifts its feet because the blade has lost its value as a weapon due to injury.

Because Finden Eye’s mana, which was only aiming for one shot, was condensed as if it were now.

Bang!

“Kuk!”

Gloria pushed all the way back. However, even with such a blow, the armor did not even crack.

‘The difference in equipment level is severe.’

The more I looked, the more I thought of it.

At that time, Rock Pelican hurriedly ran next to me and shouted.

“It is not easy to break through. I’m trying to cheat a little, is that okay?”

Realizing immediately what he was about to do, I nodded without hesitation.

“Come here, Deia.”

“uh?”

“sorry.”

Deia, who suddenly didn’t know how to call herself. I put my hand around her waist and gave the Rock Pelican a signal.

“Muh, what are you doing!”

Startled, Deia struggled to escape, but we were already blown away by the wind.

“I’ll leave the landing to you!”

Swept away by the mighty wind of the Rock Pelican, we flew straight toward the palace.

In the middle, the sorcerer judges and the knights fired magic or swordsmanship to stop us.

Along with the magic of the Dark Mage following behind me, the party struggling below protected me.

“Kyaaah!”

As if the experience of flying in the sky was mysterious, Deia wrapped her hands and feet around my neck and waist while screaming.

It was difficult to move because of Deia, but I first looked for a place to land by turning my gaze to the palace.

The power of the evil spirit that occupied the body of King Orpheus was so strong that the entire royal palace was engulfed in the vicious energy.

Beyond the level of goosebumps, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen an evil spirit and my heart is shaking.

“under.”

Rather, I think I still have the heart to be surprised at the evil spirits, so I turn to the balcony with a smile.

A place with memories with Eleanor.

Even though I landed naturally after raising Mana, Deia was still clinging to me like a koala and trembling.

“heavy. Get down.”

When I said a word, I fell in surprise as if I had finally come to my senses, and I cleared my throat several times.

“No, high places are more scary than I thought. It’s different from just looking down from the railing.”

Anyone would be scared if it floated like that without a safety device. Deia, who has become contemplative, I caution.

“Take care of the things you carry on your back. I think I need your help.”

“… … help? What is this?”

He grabs Deia’s hand to try to open it and dries it.

“Don’t open it. They are detected right away.”

Considering the enormous aura that permeated the entire palace, it was obvious that if you could see even the slightest crack, you would immediately recognize what it was.

“When you see it, you will know what it is. Because you are wise.”

“… … Yes.”

Was the belief burdensome? Deia averts her gaze. The moment I nodded and entered the banquet hall and was about to head for the corridor.

thud!

Another huge body falls onto the balcony. It didn’t land as cleanly as we did, but only stopped after rolling over and hitting the wall of the banquet hall.

“Oops! My knee is cracked.”

Darius grumbled, but jumped up and shuddered.

“You guys are going, how can I not follow you!”

Looking at Darius speaking confidently, I blinked for a moment, but then nodded and tapped his shoulder.

“Welcome.”

Deia and Darius looked at me for a while, wondering if they didn’t know how to express their gratitude honestly, but I ignored them and went straight into the hallway.

Only then do the two come to their senses and chase after them.

As we stepped out into the hallway, the Dark Spirit frowned and said.

[There is a place where the energy is strong.]

“Yes, I can feel it too.”

“… … Were you talking to a ghost?”

Deia finally realized that I was talking about dark spirit love. But there was no time to explain it.

It may not be visible to the general public, but in my eyes, the hallways of the royal family have already been painted black with the energy of evil spirits.

It might be because it was late in the morning, but it was literally only darkness, so I couldn’t see the road and I felt like I would lose my sense of direction.

Again this was inconvenient.

‘Is the energy in the audience room?’

I glanced at Deia and said.

“Could you guide me to the audience room?”

“yes? It’s not difficult… … .”

“Please.”

I can’t see the evil spirits, so I can’t see the energy. Deia strode into the darkness.

Using her as a guide, I put my hand on her shoulder and followed her, but I was a bit puzzled.

“Why are there no guards?”

“The hallway is empty.”

And Deia and Darius who pinched it properly. I didn’t know because it was all dark, so I kept my mouth shut and thought about the reason, but no answer came out.

Thanks to that, we arrived at the audience room smoothly.

Feeling the texture of the door in my palm, I took a deep breath and looked at the two.

I didn’t even ask if I was ready.

Darius’ strong nose wind blew from the left, and Deia’s cool scent was felt from the right.

profit.

So let’s open the door without any hesitation.

Contrary to the outside, the darkness of the throne room was clear. But it was easy to see why.

Countless people kneeling and worshiping the throne. In addition to simple guards, numerous servants working in the royal family were lining up.

They were the people who lived in the accommodations provided for servants working in the palace.

“What is it?”

Listening to Deia’s exclamation, I looked ahead.

It was originally red, but if you follow the carpet that looks like a dull blue at dawn, you will reach a huge throne.

And the cursed king sitting on his throne.

The black face with small horns that occupied the king’s body was hauntingly floating behind him.

It was a kind of possessiveness.

[Can you see me?]

The black face, realizing right away that I was looking at his body, asked with a smile.

After beckoning them to step back, I walk on the carpet.

“Yes, I can see the devil-like figure very well.”

Then, the guy laughed at me saying it was ridiculous.

[Resembling a devil? stupid. i am the devil He is a transcendentalist who handles eternal life beyond human limits.]

“Don’t be pretentious. If I had to ask, he must be on his way to becoming a demon.”

[…] … .]

The black face shuts its mouth for a moment, probably stabbing a blind spot.

“How many souls I wish I had eaten. Can an ordinary human head grow horns? My common sense wouldn’t know.”

[It’s been hundreds of years. What would a necromancer who is just a criminal like you know?]

A monster that devours the souls of people who are asleep or wandering around, escaping from humanity.

He smiles and chins at the dark mage who was following me.

[Your year is pretty great. It will be good nutrition.]

[…] … .]

Being the same necromancer, the dark mage knew how out-of-standard the existence in front of him was, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

The power gap was so obvious that even the excellent necromancer, the Dark Mage, couldn’t dare compare.

strong.

It was clear that he had the power to swallow the Griffin Kingdom.

That has now surpassed the demons.

devil

And I was looking at the devil beyond.

“That’s funny.”

I couldn’t help but sneer at the corners of my mouth.

[Owner of Remegeton. Do you believe in that one stone?]

The guy who opens his mouth wide and laughs as if he wants to swallow it right away.

[The subject of Remegeton was originally a demon. It was both a blessing and a curse given to a boy who wished to save his mother.]

“… … .”

[Now I will take it. It is indeed a sweet fruit.]

The Remegeton in my hand resonates as if it were resonating. I answered by raising my hand and showing it.

“Are you blinded by this stone?”

[…] … .]

“A necromancer is one who is closest to death, but has not touched it.”

The line between life and death.

An existence that listens to both sides of the story in the closest place.

However, the line is vertical, not horizontal.

“The dead are just the dead. Do not invade the realm of the living.”

At my words, his black face began to giggle and laugh. It’s like I’m speechless because I’m dumbfounded.

[Do you teach me black magic? Do you teach necromancy? Now it has become a nameless griffin demon! This body is the wizard who made the continent tremble while alive and reached the limit of the taboo!]

“It is meaningless power.”

Suddenly, I felt pity for that existence who proudly shouted out its achievements.

An ignorance that did not penetrate even the essence of the study that he had walked on beyond his lifetime and even after his death.

“Did you discuss eternal life? Did you want to escape from being human and become a demon?”

[…] … .]

“A third-class person who ran away without properly grasping the meaning, meaning, or weight of death.”

Fire.

“A damn gossip who denies death even though he accompanies the dead.”

Blue flames rise from your hands. Already in my eyes, I felt like I could see the end of this battle.

run away from death

throw off the human mask.

A being that has become a demon.

“Look and learn, you idiot who didn’t realize anything amidst so many deaths.”

Only learning is the only thing he can take from me.

“I have no rest to give you.”

Extinction is the only thing I have in store for him.
