44. Training camp
‘hmm-.’
Galahad desperately held back the groan that was about to burst out.
Although he gave the Archduke a light answer and withdrew, Galahad’s condition was actually not very good.
The blood of the highest level demon was on a different level from anything I had ever drunk before.
When you drink the blood of another demon, it feels like you’re swallowing water.
This-.
‘It’s like I swallowed lava.’
It felt like everything was melting away.
From the lips that touched the glass, to the mouth and esophagus-.
This was a deadly poison. It was so deadly that even if someone ignorant of mana drank it, ninety-nine out of a hundred would die.
If it’s that bad even if an ignorant person drinks it, how much worse would it be for a magician who is sensitive to mana?
All mana was seething.
Mana broke free of Galahad’s will. She welcomed the blood of the demons as if worshipping them.
My heart felt like it was going to burst under the pressure.
At that moment, the Egg of Pain moved. It approached, drooling profusely, as if the blood of the highest-level demon was its own.
To him Galahad-.
‘Please wait.’
I stopped the Egg of Pain that was rushing towards the blood of the Demon Tribe.
The egg of pain vibrated slightly. A pain that felt like it was boiling and melting rose up inside. The egg of pain insisted strongly.
If you don’t deal with that right now, your insides will melt.
That was right.
With that level of mana, Galahad would definitely melt.
In fact, even the mana that Galahad had now was running wild, out of control.
If things continued this way, destruction was imminent.
but-.
‘You won’t die like this.’
To the ignorant it is a deadly poison, but to those who handle poison, it is a treasure.
Likewise, the blood of this top-class demon was a treasure to Galahad.
A treasure that is absolutely not easy to obtain-.
Could you give that treasure to him right away?
It was definitely dangerous. It was dangerous, but it wasn’t something that would kill you right away.
I had time to lick it just a little bit.
Just a little bit······.
The Egg of Pain shuddered violently, as if asking why he was doing such a dangerous thing.
If you feed it to yourself, it will come out anyway-.
That was right. If you hand it over to the Egg of Pain without any compression, it will give you concentrated and pure mana.
but-.
‘That doesn’t taste good.’
It was my first time encountering such a thick concentration of mana.
As a wizard, it was unacceptable for such a high concentration of mana to be passed on untouched.
The egg of pain was rumbling. It was as if it was chattering its teeth.
Galahad’s attention was entirely focused on the blood of the demons.
He touched the vicious poison that was so poisonous that it melted the insides.
I gently scratched the surface as if savoring a fine dish.
Then it leaked out a little, and it tasted truly divine.
To the point where you wouldn’t even know if you ate alone and died alone.
‘How should I eat it?’
Ah-, Galahad squinted his eyes wearily.
‘It’s compressed.’
The flower of mana handling was compression.
If you can just compress it, it means you have complete control over mana.
‘I think I can do it?’
The Egg of Pain shivered violently. It kept screaming that it was dangerous. It seemed to be worried that if you died, it would be the end for you too.
‘Shut up.’
The Egg of Pain stopped. Galahad, who had silenced the Egg of Pain, licked his lips.
Although the concentration of mana was extremely high, it was pure, uncompressed, concentrated mana.
Theoretically it could be compressed.
The calculation was short.
Galahad forced down the strong mana.
The concentration of mana was so deep that it was as hard as a mountain.
It felt like I was being pressed down by the palm of my hand at the top of the mountain.
It didn’t move at all.
‘dare-.’
It was the mana that entered Galahad’s body.
In theory, Galahad had the reins.

No matter how thick the concentration is, does it make sense for a wizard to be drawn to mana?
so-.
‘Take care of it.’
In that firm conviction-.
Mana, which had been holding on as if it would never move, began to move.
Of course, just a little bit-.
The important thing was that it moved.
‘ah-‘
Although it was a result of calculation, the guess and the certainty were different.
And the experience of pressing the mountain was not trivial.
Galahad felt his pressure grow stronger.
The compressed mana became distorted as it could not be contained. The mana that was supposed to be scattered into the atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
As if absorbed-.
Galahad squinted his eyes at the phenomenon he was seeing for the first time.
Then the pain came back again.
The mana that couldn’t be pressed started to run wild again.
‘eat.’
The egg of pain that had been squirming and enduring rushed towards the demon’s blood. This time, it was too much for him, as he fought and fought with the demon’s blood from the inside.
The Egg of Pain began to feed on the blood of the Demon Tribe. It gurgled and gradually grew in size. It was to the point where a weight could be felt in the heart.
Galahad pressed his heart hard, his voice dripping with laughter.
The Egg of Pain vibrated as if it was cheering. Galahad, who was already in a bad condition, shook violently.
Perhaps because he had eaten something so delicious, the guy seemed to be losing his senses. He kept shaking. His presence continued to shake Galahad.
Now that I think about it, isn’t it an egg?
‘Is it hatching?’
The bastard was right next to the heart.
If you hatch in that location, it’s quite difficult.
I called out to him several times in a panic, but he shook me repeatedly as if he had no reason.
It seemed like he was too excited to hear anything.
Looking at it now, it seemed like my own kind of dance.
It didn’t seem like it would hatch right away.
However, Galahad’s condition was not good.
That strange dance was also fatal to Galahad now. He was so excited that he didn’t listen to what he said.
Galahad turned his head urgently.
Of course, in times like this-.
‘ma’am!’
It was Adrianna.
****
‘I have received the Archduke’s approval.’
7th Battalion Captain Belogreim swallowed dry saliva.
The Archduke was the ruler of the North.
It wasn’t just that he was called a ruler because he was a peacock.
The Grand Duke was a man who had risen to power by paving his way with the blood of his own flesh and blood, his enemies, and his demons.
[I will give this position to whoever cuts off my head.]
It was the first thing he said after ascending to the throne.
It was like throwing fire to the already boiling blooded northerners.
Many people have taken on the challenge-.
They all knelt before the Archduke.
The Archduke only occasionally lowered his glass.
It was a case of if a thousand people challenge, one person would get off.
Most of those who received the cup avoided it.
Just receiving the Grand Duke’s cup was a great honor.
But the guy didn’t stop at just accepting the glass.
I drank the glass in one go. But it wasn’t enough, so I asked for more.
It was the first time.
It was something that would never happen again.
‘I guess I’ll have to live a long time to see this.’
Belogrim looked at Galahad with renewed eyes.
His hair was neatly combed back without missing a single strand, his body seemed sturdy but was long and thin, and his clothes were neatly arranged – he was a man who did not fit in with the North at all.
He was even a wizard.
He was a man who was the complete opposite of the North.
For such a person to receive the Archduke’s approval.
‘I guess I’ll see things if I live long enough.’
At that moment, the guy opened his eyes.
I felt a thick aura coming from him.
Belogreme had an unforgettable vibe.
‘······High-ranking demon?’
Belogrim instinctively grabbed the pole. His hair stood on end. His hands were filled with strength.
At that moment, the guy closed his eyes and opened them again. The ominous feeling he had just felt was gone.
No, he was a polite guy.
Eyes that are calm yet somehow seem mad.
‘······Did I see things wrong?’
Belogrim squinted his eyes and examined it, but it was still the bastard.
‘I’m getting old too.’
As he was muttering like that, Belogrim realized that his hands were sweating.
You said you were nervous.
He turned to the Archduke and Adrianna who were talking. His legs were shaking, as if he was in pain.
‘I guess it was impossible.’
It was clear that it was because he had drunk the blood of the demons.
I heard that the blood of the demons was more lethal to wizards, but Belogrim knew as much as his wrinkles.
Most of it was miscellaneous knowledge, but miscellaneous knowledge was also knowledge.
“It’s impossible.”
“Recovering the 7th Battalion comes first.”
“It’s already open.”
“But we can’t just leave the Demonic Realm alone.”
The Grand Duke’s eyes were subtly gentle. Although others could not see it, Belogreim, who assisted the Grand Duke on the battlefield, could see it.
The Archduke’s love for his daughter was famous, as was his love for his dead wife.
As Galahad approached, the Archduke and Adrianna’s gaze turned simultaneously.
at that time-.
‘······?’
He immediately reached out his hand to Adrianna. He didn’t say anything. He just held out his hand.
Adrianna sighed softly, took off her gauntlets, and took his hand.
The series of events felt very natural. It was as if I had done it several times before, even going as far as to say goodbye.
‘It suits you quite well.’
Belogrim, who had been muttering like that, suddenly turned his head at the feeling of a murderous aura.
The Archduke’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
The Archduke’s thick, ugly back muscles twitched violently as if screaming.
“Haha, my hands are a little cold.”
Galahad smiled as he spoke to the Grand Duke.
‘He’s really crazy.’
Belogrim was seriously impressed.
I’ve seen a lot of weird guys, but that guy was the worst of them all.
****
‘I might die.’
Galahad hurriedly stood behind Adrianna at the Archduke’s wrinkled eyes.
There was nothing I could do because the Egg of Pain was running wild.
The Egg of Pain became as quiet as a ghost when he took Adrianna’s hand. He felt a little calmer. The Egg of Pain bit his heart as if he was sorry.
‘Power that cannot be governed is useless.’
At Galahad’s rebuke, the egg of pain closed.
At that moment, Adrianna opened her mouth and looked at Galahad.
“We were talking about the Demon Realm.”
“That’s it.”
Galahad waved his hand. The ash scattered around him followed his hand.
“Yes, if we leave it like this, it will affect the demons and the monsters. There is a lot of potential for problems, and we were discussing how to set up security.”
Adrianna nodded.
The Demon Realm was an environment that was so suitable for demons, beasts, and magicians that it was beyond words, but on the contrary, it was the worst environment for knights.
From being unable to see even an inch ahead, to psychological fear.
If the article was like that, the soldiers were nothing to worry about. It was clear that they would panic just by entering.
“Is there a way?”
The Archduke asked in his characteristically low voice.
‘It’s like a beast deep in a cave. And it smoked a lot during its puberty.’
Galahad muttered softly.
At first glance, it sounded like picking a fight, but the fact that the Archduke asked it himself meant something. It meant that he wanted to hear opinions.
‘Is this recognition?’
Regardless of the recognition, the Archduke’s gaze was so stinging that it felt like my eyes would burn just by looking at him.
“yes.”
Of course there was a solution.
“···Is that true?”
Adrianna’s eyebrows rose. Adrianna looked at the Archduke. The Archduke’s eyebrows lowered.
“I hate jokes.”
“I like it, but it depends on the time and place.”
“······is it?”
At the Archduke’s soft question, Galahad laughed. No one laughed along.
‘What a woman who doesn’t know humor.’
Galahad clicked his tongue and nodded.
There were things I had seen before. The magic stone fragments and the broken magic circle. It was easy to infer the relationship between the two.
“Yes, he would have gathered all the magic stones and used the demon as a medium to detonate them all at once to build up compressed mana. Once compressed, the mana would have attracted the surrounding mana and that’s how it ended up like this. Of course, once a certain area is exceeded, the mana threshold prevents more from being gathered-.”
Galahad, who was about to explain further, furrowed his eyebrows.
“How do you know?”
“Because I am a great wizard.”
The Archduke winced as Galahad answered, nodding his head.
“Then is there a way to get rid of it?”
Adrianna turned to Galahad and asked. Galahad nodded.
“You’re here.”
“······yes?”
“Even if you call it a magic realm, it’s just something with an unusually high concentration of mana. And this isn’t even a real magic realm.”
“Say it simply.”
Big-. Galahad swallowed the ‘easy enough to say’ that was on the tip of his tongue. These were northerners.
“I can block the mana that keeps coming in from outside and erase it from inside.”
“Erase it?”
“yes.”
“With what?”
At the Archduke’s question, Galahad looked at Adrianna. Adrianna’s eyes widened.
“Me? I don’t know magic.”
“It’s okay, I know it well. I’ll tell you what mana comes in from outside, and you just have to raise your aura and run around.”
“······yes?”
Galahad thought for a moment about how he could explain it more easily.
“Oh, I understand. But is it a problem that can be solved that easily?”
“It’s not a real demonic realm. The range is only about one castle, but it requires a high-level demon or higher as a medium. However-.”
“but?”
The Archduke asked softly. The huge trapezius muscle was twitching, as if it was going to seize him at any moment.
Galahad opened his mouth, looking into the Archduke’s harsh eyes.
“Do I really have to erase this?”
The Archduke’s eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly. Adriana’s eyebrows lowered.
‘There is one thing that the woman and the man resemble each other.’
Both of them expressed their emotions with their eyebrows.
“What are you talking about?”
The Archduke asked. Adriana kept her mouth shut.
“Of course, if there’s something like this, the surrounding monsters and demons will flock to it. But what if they don’t flock to it?”
The Archduke’s eyebrows furrowed further. It was as if a beast was gaping open its mouth. For no reason, his neck felt ticklish and his back became sweaty.
Galahad sneaked up behind Adrianna.
“What does that mean?”
“When I looked at it that way, it seemed like the knights of the 1st Battalion weren’t familiar with the magic realm either.”
“yes.”
“This is just the beginning. It will happen again. This isn’t a problem that can be solved by being careful.”
Galahad looked at the Archduke and said. The Archduke just looked at him without answering.
“That’s why I’m training you.”
“······Are you talking about training?”
Adrianna gaped at what must have been quite a shocking statement.
“Do you know what kind of place the Demon Realm is?”
This time, the 7th Battalion Captain asked. There was shock in his eyes.
‘There’s a commotion in the devil’s court.’
Is that the only way? Galahad snapped his fingers slightly.
“Yes, I stopped by before coming here.”
“You stopped by? You sound like you stopped by a bar.”
At that moment, the Archduke opened his mouth.
“Training in the Demon Realm – Interesting.”
“Yes, if managed well, it could be used as a training center for the Demonic Realm.”
“It’s dangerous.”
“Risk, when overcome, becomes opportunity.”
Galahad looked at the Archduke silently.
“Good.”
It was the expected answer.
“Then we’ll need a training camp manager.”
The corners of the Archduke’s mouth went up fiercely as he asked that question.
‘Well, I didn’t expect that.’
Galahad’s head quickly rolled as he met the Archduke’s eyes.
Manage the Demonic Realm Training Center.
‘Not bad, right?’
Galahad nodded after finishing his calculations.
The corners of the Archduke’s mouth rose a little more.
When he heard the sound of the magic mirror, the gloomy Egg of Pain started jumping around.
‘Like a puppy that has heard a story about a walk.’
Galahad clicked his tongue slightly.
****
‘There’s quite a bit of backlash.’
Theodore squinted his eyes as he looked at the report that had been submitted.
Although they didn’t show it openly, the leaders were secretly expressing their opposition.
It was because of His Highness the Grand Duke’s order to block the hole with your own spinal cord if you didn’t block it completely.
I could understand the hard work that the commanders put in. In the first place, how could they have blocked that wide front so thoroughly?
In addition, the fact that His Highness the Grand Duke gave an order after a long time also played a part.
The biggest reason for this was that most of the characters were replaced while His Highness the Grand Duke was on the battlefield.
‘Your Highness the Grand Duke doesn’t know how fearful he is.’
Theodore clicked his tongue slightly.
The letter saying that if there was a hole, they would pull out your spinal cord and fill it was a very kind letter.
You didn’t say you would chew on my spinal cord, and you didn’t give me a period of time to do it either.
If it were the old Grand Duke, I would have pulled out my hair and thought about it.
At this point, it was considered quite friendly.
At that moment, the door opened abruptly and a man came running in. The red letter in his hand was the symbol of His Highness the Grand Duke.
I’m finally getting news.
Theodore quickly knelt down and received it. He carefully unfolded it, and saw that it was engraved with bold letters, like the claw marks of a wild beast.
‘······Magic Training Center? Special Forces Captain?’
It was clearly a concise sentence, but I didn’t understand it.
Theodore had to read it over and over again before he fully understood it.
‘Ah, a magic gate opened in the 7th Battalion, and they’re using it to create a magic gate training ground. The special forces commander is managing that magic gate training ground. He’s having the troops from other battalions train in the magic gate-.’
hmm······.
What the hell is this?
