Episode 100: The Tale of Two Sisters
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
The egg of pain was beating like crazy. It was like bursting out of madness. My vision kept shaking. My mind went up.
It was because he had drunk the blood of the ruler. The blood of the ruler, a high-ranking demon, was different from what he had drunk before.
It wasn’t just the blood of the demons.
This-.
‘It is mana itself.’
It felt like I was drinking pure mana. I had never thought it could be this pure. It was to the point where all the mana I had dealt with until then felt like trash.
I wanted more.
no-.
‘I want to drink it all.’
Galahad’s eyes sank deeply.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! The egg of pain kept throbbing. Even he couldn’t control his excitement.
It wasn’t the demonic realm, but the ruler’s power that was weak. Thanks to some kind of power received from the four-legged demon, the ruler’s power was able to be withstood.
The ruler’s power was not to attack, but to rule. That is, if you can endure, your power will be drastically reduced. On top of that, you can drink the ruler’s blood.
Unaware of the situation, Galahad was confident of victory as the ruler approached him.
Actually, the plan went quite cleanly. The ruler’s actions were anticipated and guided.
At the moment when he was about to plunge the ice spear into his heart, the ruler displayed a strange power. The ruler’s body twisted for a moment. It was an incomprehensible reaction.
‘Is there one more power?’
Galahad’s eyes narrowed.
The attacks were not entirely in vain. The ruler’s neck was half torn off, and an ice spear was lodged in his chest.
It was a fatal condition that would have killed a person, but the ruler was actually laughing.
“Is this all you have?”
“There’s still some left.”
Galahad answered with a frown.
“Yes, I should stay. I am the disciple of a traitor. I have to do something.”
Galahad snapped his fingers. An ice pick shot out right in front of the ruler. The demon next to him was hit instead. Red blood spurted out.
“Cheeky.”
The demons rushed in front of the ruler. In an instant, a wall of demons appeared in front of the ruler.
The sight of these expressionless people tangled together was quite horrifying.
At that moment, Galahad felt an eerie sensation. He quickly snapped his fingers. Something intangible was blocked by Galahad’s barrier.
It was intangible mana. To be exact-.
‘It’s the power of a lower-level demon.’
Looking around, I saw a demon swinging his fist.
‘Are you even using your subordinate’s power?’
It seemed like there was more to it than just making moves.
However, the power felt quite crude. It was so crude that I would have brushed it aside if it had been normal, but the problem was that there were so many of them.
That too, quite a bit-.
‘this.’
Power poured in from all sides. Galahad’s walls shook violently.
At that moment, the people around the ruler began to gather. The expressionless people tangled together like parts. There was no hesitation or scream as their limbs were broken.
It grew in size in an instant. Its shape was quite repulsive.
‘It’s a golem.’
It was a golem made up of humans.
The ruler’s figure disappeared into it. He had erected a thick shield to block Galahad’s magic.
‘How clever.’
In order to use spatial magic, you had to know the opponent’s location. If you hide their location like that, there would be no answer.
Since spatial magic was not light magic, it was impossible to roughly estimate the location and then shoot recklessly.
Power and demons pouring in from all directions, even the ruler hiding his body.
Galahad recalculated.
‘There it is.’
Galahad came up with a pretty plausible solution.
Thump! The Egg of Pain responded by roughly spewing out thick mana. Because it had drunk the ruler’s blood, the impulse and weight were extreme. My mind was shaken.
‘It’s just a little bit odd, but it’s to this extent-.’
If I had drunk all of it, it would have exploded. Galahad snapped his fingers, desperately trying to keep himself together.
An ice pick floated in front of him. It was so pure that it was transparent without a single bubble. It hit the chest of the running demon with precision. The ones behind him also fell down, skewered.
It was a tremendous force, but its place was quickly filled. It was a tidal wave of flesh made up of demons and soldiers.
‘slowly.’
Galahad snapped his fingers, desperately moving his rampaging mana.
The barrier shook violently. Flesh was scattered everywhere. Blood soaked the floor. The pungent smell of blood stung my nose.
There were no screams. There were no shouts. Just the sound of flesh being ripped, the banging of walls, the snapping of fingers.
Galahad continued to cast spells, checking his mana. When he ran out of mana, he drank from his water bottle.
The battle with the ruler was a war of attrition. The ruler kept pushing his men forward, and Galahad defended and took them out one by one.
The ruler had too many subordinates to take care of, while Galahad’s mana was limited.
It was a war of attrition in which Galahad’s defeat was certain.
“It’s starting to get boring.”

The ruler raised the corners of his mouth as he spoke. Beneath him was a small golem made of human flesh.
The golem, made up of a dense group of expressionless people, looked quite terrifying.
“I agree.”
Galahad coughed slightly as he answered. The ruler chuckled, perhaps thinking it was a bluff.
“As expected of a traitor’s disciple, he only talks.”
The ruler grumbled. He seemed certain that Galahad was the apprentice of the first wizard. Galahad did not even bother to deny it.
The first wizard was the originator of magic. All wizards were like his disciples.
‘Is this enough?’
Galahad glanced down. It was soaking wet with blood.
Since it’s not a monster but a demon, the concentration will be thicker. This should be enough.
“for a moment.”
Galahad raised his golden staff. The pouring power stopped for a moment.
“Are you thinking of begging for your life now?”
“No, I have something to do.”
The ruler chuckled. Galahad twirled his golden staff.
“You punk! Are you using that precious thing as a stick?”
“A stick? It’s a cane.”
“Oh, damn it!”
Galahad ignored the ruler’s violent reaction.
I drew all the borders. It was a bit tricky because I was confused, but it turned out perfect. I checked again just in case.
‘That’s enough.’
Galahad nodded and struck the floor with his golden staff.
“You bastard!! How dare you!!”
The ruler shouted. The reaction was quite delicious.
A bright light rose from beneath Galahad. A huge magic circle drawn with a golden rod took shape.
“You are doing something useless.”
The ruler clicked his tongue and waved his hand. A human golem blocked the ruler’s path. It seemed to think the magic circle was for attack purposes.
The ruler masked his position with a human golem. It was an effective way to counter Galahad’s magic.
Then Galahad came up with a new method.
The blood on the magic circle began to drop. It rose as if it had been boiling, and then burst in a small burst with a bang. A red fog slowly rose from there.
A red fog began to spread.
‘Hunting was useful too.’
It was the red fog used in hunting with the Archduke.
I didn’t know I would use it here, but-.
“Okay, it’s round two.”
Galahad disappeared into the blood mist.
*
‘Tough guy.’
The ruler’s eyes were wide open.
The bastard’s magic was strange. It was threatening enough to pierce the skin of a high-ranking demon ruler. However, that was because the ruler let his guard down.
In fact, once the ruler surrounded himself with his subordinates, he did not allow them to strike even a single blow.
‘Who would have thought that a lowly wizard could overcome my power?’
The power of the ruler was to rule over those who were inferior to him. It was not something that could be overcome by the mind.
But the wizard overcame the ruler’s power.
‘The forgotten being was involved.’
It was clear that he had raised his level. So that he could withstand the ruler’s power.
It was somewhat surprising that someone who should have been in the pit would use his strength to help.
However, it was like that.
Even if you level up and overcome the ruler’s power, all you can do is endure. He was in the ruler’s domain.
At that moment, the blood underneath him turned into fog and filled the surrounding area.
‘Are you trying to blind me? You’re going to struggle until the very end.’
The ruler clicked his tongue slightly. It was a foolish move. The subordinate’s eyes were soon the ruler’s eyes.
However, the ruler who had been hit once did not let his guard down and built a more solid human wall. He filled it so that there were no gaps.
And the moment he was about to unleash his power-.
The ruler twisted his body in a strange chill. An ice pick was stuck in his shoulder.
‘······how?’
I knew that his magic could pierce through space, but it was already obscured in all directions.
I don’t think you can tell where this is-.
‘Did you just shoot it without thinking? You’re lucky.’
The ruler squinted his eyes and clicked his tongue. Now that he was at his wit’s end, he seemed to be recklessly lashing out.
At that moment, my waist started to shake. When I looked down, I saw an ice pick stuck in my waist.
The bastard was aiming straight at the ruler.
‘how?’
It was completely obscured. How could they possibly know the location of the ruler?
At that moment, a strange smell wafted in. When he looked around, he saw that the area was already filled with red fog.
‘······no way.’
The ruler’s eyes narrowed. The ruler moved for a moment. The ice pick grazed his thigh.
Only one thing had changed: the red fog.
‘I found my location through the fog made of blood.’
The ruler’s eyes narrowed.
“Now you are the one who is the drinker.”
The fog grew thicker.

“You must enter.”
First shook his head at Gilbert’s urgent voice.
“There is no signal yet.”
“Could it be that it’s so urgent that you can’t even send a signal?”
“Galahad is not such a sloppy man.”
The First’s answer was still firm. Adrianna’s brow furrowed.
It’s been quite some time since Galahad came in. But we just have to wait because there’s no signal.
Adrianna had a strange dislike for First. It was only natural, since he was an unknown man.
At that moment, First turned his head.
“The troops are coming. Did you request reinforcements?”
Adrianna nodded.
However, the number of footsteps was quite large.
When he turned his head, he saw an approaching force. It was quite large. There were eight flags with numbers written on them.
It was said that all battalions except the 6th Battalion had sent troops. The Grand Duke’s orders were clear.
The Grand Duke, who rarely moves his troops, is sending such a large force.
‘What on earth did you report?’
Adrianna tilted her head slightly.
2nd Battalion Captain Liam stepped forward.
“Captain Adrianna. You were here first.”
Adrianna just nodded. The captains stood to the side. Their faces were all stern. They seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not good.
“I heard that a high-ranking demon called the Ruler is occupying the 6th Battalion?”
Liam, who valued the North above all else, seemed indignant at the fact that the Demons were occupying the battalion.
“Yes.”
“Don’t go straight in.”
Liam gestured behind him. The other captains each drew their weapons. The soldiers behind them also gained momentum.
They were ready to move in right away. The troops had arrived. There was no reason to hesitate any longer.
but-.
[Trust me.]
Adrianna chewed her lip.
“Not yet.”
“yet?”
Liam rolled his eyes at Adrianna’s words. Adrianna thought for a moment and then exhaled.
“Captain Galahad said that there is a possibility that the ruler will escape, so tie him up and give a signal. We will enter once Captain Galahad gives the signal.”
Adriana said with strength.
“Captain Galahad? You mean the wizard of the special forces? He has the Archduke’s approval, but he is a wizard. The opponent is a high-ranking demon, so how can we trust him?”
The captain of the 3rd battalion raised a question. It was a valid question. The other captains nodded. Some even expressed antipathy to Galahad’s name.
The momentum shifted in an instant.
“It was Captain Galahad who discovered the city of the ruler, and it was Captain Galahad who found the 6th Battalion occupying it. If you don’t follow his judgment, who will you follow?”
Adriana took a step forward and said. The captains’ expressions became subtle.
“Enter when the signal comes.”
Adrianna ordered in a firm voice.
Adrianna, who usually did not interfere with the other captains, gave orders, and various expressions appeared on the captains’ faces.
However, no one objected.
at that time-.
A strong force was felt from inside the castle. In an instant, the soldiers staggered violently. The captains’ heads turned around.
Several soldiers fell, unable to hold on. The formation shook. The faces of the captains became serious under the immense force.
“Is Captain Galahad going to take charge of such a monster?”
Adrianna hesitated for a moment at the question from 2nd Battalion Captain Liam. Then she slowly nodded.
“Wait for the signal.”
At that moment, something strange happened. A red fog rose beyond the gate. It was a gloomy fog that made your hair stand on end.
“It’s a signal.”
The quiet First suddenly stood up. Finally-. Adrianna frowned slightly.
“There is a possibility that the ruler may escape, so we will divide each district.”
Adrianna assigned each captain a specific role.
No one refused Adrianna’s orders. She was the hero of the North and the only blood relative of the Archduke.
Following Adrianna’s orders, the troops quickly spread out, moving towards each gate.
Adriana, who had quickly finished arranging the arrangement, felt a strange sense of emptiness.
First and Pumpkin were not visible.
There’s even a special force there.
Adrianna’s eyes narrowed.
At that moment, a horn sounded. It was a signal that preparations were complete.
“Enter.”
Adrianna gave a short command and kicked the ground. Pulling up her aura, Adrianna passed through the gate in an instant.
There were demons and gnomes guarding the area around the castle walls, but there were fewer of them than expected.
Adrianna’s eyes moved quickly. She saw the demons heading towards the bloody fog.
As I swung my pure white aura, the demons in front of me instantly turned to dust.
Adrianna moved without stopping. The pure white aura continued to shine brightly. Dust was scattered in all directions.
Adrianna squinted as she arrived in front of the blood-red fog.
There-.
“You’re late.”
First was sitting. He looked relaxed, as if he was on a picnic. Pumpkin next to him bowed his head slightly. Unlike the relaxed First, Pumpkin was covered in sweat.
You’re already here and you’re taking it easy.
‘He is a man of ability.’
Adrianna exclaimed in admiration.
“They say I smell Galahad here.”
First said, scratching his chin.
The smell of Galahad in the thick fog made of blood-. Adrianna squinted her eyes at the strange sound.
“I will enter.”
As Adrianna was about to enter, fixing her sword-.
First blocked Adrianna’s path. Pumpkin felt strangely uneasy as First blocked Adrianna.
However, First was on a mission right now. There was no way he could mess around.
“What is it?”
Adrianna asked in a slightly lower voice.
He first pointed to Adriana-.
“You get out.”
He said it firmly.
