Episode 101 Duo
“You will fall.”
First said firmly, pointing at Adrianna. Pumpkin was slightly shocked.
There wasn’t even a small smile on First’s face now. When he was working, First was a serious man.
It was clear that there was a good reason.
“······What does that mean?”
Adrianna’s voice was as indifferent as usual.
“This is magic. You are burning mana, which is a hindrance to Galahad.”
Adrianna’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“So you should get out.”
First ignored it and pointed to Adrianna, speaking again.
It was a reasonable and calm explanation.
the problem is-.
“I am what Galahad needs.”
With him, the first one entered the bloody fog.
Adrianna’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Pumpkin hurriedly lowered his head.
“If you need help, I will ask for it. For now, I ask that you surround us so that we cannot escape.”
Adriana was still expressionless, but Pumpkin felt that she looked strangely displeased.
Pumpkin followed First into the fog. The fog was thick. It felt like something was sticking to him every time he breathed.
‘Galahad made this?’
Pumpkin squinted his eyes.
It was more believable that a high-ranking demon had created it, but it was what First had said. First was an expert on Galahad.
As we walked a little bit, there was a huge back. It was the first.
“Why are you doing that?”
Instead of answering, First pointed inward. The red fog was so thick that he couldn’t see inside properly. Pumpkin focused his aura on his eyes. His vision became much more pleasant.
‘High-ranking demon-.’
There was a high-ranking demon wearing a crown in the distance. I knew immediately that he was the ruler because of the presence he gave off.
The ruler’s condition was a mess. There was a huge hole in his chest and his throat was torn.
These were clearly fatal wounds, but the ruler was stern.
“You damn little human.”
The ruler spoke softly.
Pumpkin’s mind became confused. His body bent down on its own. First grabbed his shoulder. Pumpkin’s mind came back to him with his strong hand.
“Raise your aura high. To your head.”
“yes.”
Pumpkin raised his aura in a hurry. As he raised his aura to his head, he came to his senses.
The ruler’s gaze wasn’t even directed this way. I just entered the territory, and yet I felt this oppressive feeling.
‘······Is this a high-ranking demon?’
Pumpkin muttered, trying to hold back his heavy breathing.
The monster in front of the ruler moved roughly. It was a terrible monster made up of people, and there was not even a small scream. All that could be heard was the sound of flesh colliding.
The monster swung its fist at something. The bloody fog shook violently with the force. The inside was clearly visible.
There was Galahad. Galahad looked miserable. He was covered in scars, and his usually neat clothes and hair were a mess.
Yet his posture was still upright.
‘Are your eyes closed?’
Galahad remained silent with his eyes closed.
The monster’s massive fist slammed into Galahad’s red wall.
Boom! The floor shook slightly. The fist crashed down, spraying blood and flesh.
The blood red fog grew thicker, obscuring vision.
“The power is growing stronger. Stay back. Control them so they don’t come in from the outside. They’ll only get in the way.”
First said, shaking his sword.
It was an order.
“Yes, I understand.”
Pumpkin nodded and stepped back.
The first had already disappeared into the thick blood-red fog.
****
‘Interesting.’
Galahad closed his eyes and focused his senses.
Red Fog was the magic used when hunting with the Archduke.
Mana flowed from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration.
The ruler, a high-ranking demon, attracted the red fog like a magnet. Galahad followed him and judged the red fog. He calculated the ruler’s location by judging the speed and direction of the mana flow.
Such ignorant calculations were possible because of the study of spatial magic.
As I studied spatial magic, my understanding of space increased dramatically. Thanks to that, my calculations became faster.
“Ice pick.”
Galahad snapped his fingers. There was a ripple in space and the ice pick disappeared-.
The demons flinched greatly. It was a sign that they had hit the target.
‘That’s interesting.’

Calculating the flow of red fog and using spatial magic – it was a feat beyond calculation.
What I had thought of in theory, the thrill of actually working out exactly, was indescribable.
At that moment, the pressure on my shoulders became even heavier.
‘It’s getting stronger and stronger.’
The ruler’s power was growing stronger.
‘Is this a concentration of power?’
Just as a wizard compresses his mana, the ruler appears to have strengthened his power by reducing the area of his authority.
Perhaps because he was a high-ranking demon, he was different from other demons who wielded their power thoughtlessly.
In order to attack the ruler, who is a high-ranking demon, you had to drink the ruler’s blood and compress the mana produced. Only then could you land an effective hit.
the problem is-.
‘There are two sips left.’
The ruler’s blood was running out.
On the surface, the situation wasn’t bad.
The red fog made from the blood of the demons was Galahad’s territory. The number of demons captured was already in the double digits. The number of demons gathered around was also much smaller than before.
I could see that the flow was good.
but-.
‘His power is not mental interference.’
Galahad’s eyes sank.
The ruler’s power was not a mental intervention. It was a power that exerted influence over the body. You could tell just by looking at the golems made of humans.
Despite the rather rough terrain, the ruler continued to provoke a war of attrition.
‘There are still some left.’
There was something the ruler was hiding.
‘Resurrect the corpse?’
There was also a possibility that the corpse could be raised.
The question that Galahad was most wary of was whether or not the fox mask had been opened.
At that moment, a familiar presence was felt through the blood-red fog. It was First.
‘You’re here.’
The first remained still in the fog, not moving hastily.
Galahad didn’t bother explaining his plan. He didn’t have the time or the need to. He just nodded.
The First’s presence gradually disappeared.
‘About two sips.’
Galahad shook the remaining water bottle.
It was a magic in one sip-.
‘That’s enough.’
Galahad’s eyes sank deeply.
****
‘That’s pretty good.’
The ruler raised his head.
There was a guy a little ways away. He had a barrier made of demon blood around him, and his eyes were tightly shut.
Using the blood of the Demon Tribe? Aren’t they like bats? The ruler’s brow furrowed at that.
‘It was a lie that I was the traitor’s disciple.’
The thing that a traitor hates the most is a bat. There was no way that a traitor’s disciple would be a bat.
however-.
‘Why do I smell a traitor from that guy?’
A guy who fights like a bat, and smells like a traitor.
“What the hell are you?”
The ruler said, furrowing his eyebrows. He was genuinely curious about the bastard’s identity.
Then the ice pick tapped the ruler’s shoulder. The ruler’s new form shook slightly.
He identified his location with the bloody fog. His ice was not something that could be avoided.
It was definitely threatening, though-.
That was all.
“Okay, I’ll admit it.”
He shook his shoulder lightly. The ice broke and scattered.
The ruler looked down. It was filled with flesh and bones. He couldn’t even count how many there were.
How many has he taken down? It was truly a great feat.
It will look to him like he is winning.
However, the ruler’s power was to rule.
“I did not permit it.”
The ruler quietly ordered.
The piled corpses began to stir. Pieces of flesh and bones became entangled. Crunch, crunch. The cheerful sound of flesh and bones entangling spread.
Flesh gathered around his heart. As the flesh gathered, he was covered in demon bones that were harder than iron. It looked just like armor.
Soldiers armed in dark colors rose up. They had no eyes, no mouths, no need for holes to breathe.
All he had were two feet to rush at the king’s enemy and two hands to grab his neck.
“Rise, my soldiers.”
It was the ruler’s soldiers. In an instant, the space was filled. The ruler’s soldiers, who were not even breathing, all turned toward him.
His momentum was different from that of his previous subordinates.
The ruler stared at the bastard with the corners of his lips twisted.
What sweet despair-.
However, the bastard’s reaction was different from what the ruler expected.
That guy-.
“Oh, that’s strange. Even if you break it, it can be rebuilt? Using bones as armor is an excellent choice. However, rather than using it as armor, wouldn’t it be better to give it something like a spear?”
He asked with sparkling eyes. In a voice full of genuine interest-.
Rather than despair, the guy showed curiosity.
“It was a demon tribe.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m only human. I just have a keen interest in learning. I sincerely appreciate you giving me such a wonderful sight.”
The ruler’s face crumpled at the man expressing his gratitude.
“Just leave the head and neck alone.”
The soldiers moved simultaneously at the ruler’s command.
The ruler strengthened his power. The soldiers fell upon him.
Even as soldiers rushed towards him, the bastard was still looking at the ruler.
The ruler winced at that earnest gaze.
The bastard kept snapping his fingers. A sharp wind scratched the soldier. Unlike before, the soldier did not collapse right away. The intensity was different.
“Oh, that certainly works.”
The ruler clicked his tongue at the bastard’s admiration.
It was a perfect offensive, but the ruler did not let his guard down.
Because he wasn’t an ordinary guy-.
At that moment, a cold feeling passed over him. The ruler quickly twisted his shoulders. A sharp wind scratched the ruler’s shoulders. It was the bastard’s magic.
The ruler then checked on the bastard. He was surrounded by soldiers and was nowhere to be seen.
Even in that situation, attacking the ruler-.
‘He’s a terrible guy.’
The ruler was purely impressed.
However, unlike before, the attack was not sharp.
‘I guess I’m starting to lose my strength.’
Even without the demon lord, it was a great feat to have driven the ruler this far.
The ruler suddenly felt empty. He hurriedly looked for power.
‘this-.’
It was only then that I realized something was strange.
The power that had been spread outside was cut off. It was too late to notice because of the red fog.
‘It wasn’t just to figure out my location-?’
How far have you seen? How dare you fight like this against yourself.
The ruler’s eyes narrowed.
I couldn’t see the situation outside. There was a high possibility that we were surrounded.
‘You came in alone to tie me up.’
The ruler sneered. Did he really think he could tie himself up?
‘Arrogant.’
The ruler’s gaze turned to the right. There was a small door on the floor a little way away.
‘Open a hole in the boundary.’
The ruler didn’t choose this place for nothing. If things went wrong, he planned to open a hole in the boundary.
The fox mask was on guard, but could not stop the ruler from opening it.
When the hole in the boundary opens-.
‘The Magic Mirror will no longer be the Magic Mirror.’
The corners of the ruler’s mouth went up.
A cool breeze scratched the ruler’s thigh. It was his magic.
Even though he was surrounded by soldiers, he didn’t give up.
Whenever he got a chance-. No, he made a chance and attacked the ruler.
‘He really is a vicious guy.’
But its power was so weak that it didn’t even leave a scratch, so the ruler didn’t even avoid it.
“It’s a futile struggle.”
A chilling feeling came over him for a moment. The ruler turned his body in a hurry. The ice spear grazed the ruler. If he hadn’t dodged, his heart would have been pierced.
‘Are you saying that they spread false information to induce people to let their guard down?’
Are you saying that you calculated the numbers even when surrounded by soldiers?
“That’s amazing.”
The ruler admitted it.
It was a sharp move that could have been dealt a blow if the ruler had not been on guard.
but-.
“Can you kill me with just magic?”
He was a high-ranking demon who was sensitive to mana. No matter how sharp his attacks were, he was able to avoid the vital points.
He couldn’t kill the ruler unless his throat was cut or his heart was pierced.
At that moment, a soft voice was heard from behind.
“It’s a sword.”
A knight of enormous stature was swinging his sword.
‘Suddenly-?’
I didn’t notice it at all.
‘So that’s why you launched an attack.’
It seemed like the reason he kept pouring out magic was to get on the ruler’s nerves.
It seemed like the article was trying to create an opening for the attack.
‘Then the attack just now was-.’
Did he lead you into a state of relief by avoiding the blow of conversion?
It was a truly sharp move.
‘He’s a bad guy.’
The ruler was slightly astonished.
‘Dangerous.’
Even if you don’t know magic, Auror is dangerous.
It was definitely a tricky number though-.
‘I am the ruler.’
The ruler was instantly filled with power.
and-.
“Kneel down.”
He ordered the knight.
As the ruler poured out his power, the knight’s sword slowed down for a moment.
He was protected by the Forgotten One, but he was not a knight.
There was no way it could withstand the ruler’s power.
It was an order that could not be refused.
‘no-.’
However, the knight’s sword did not stop.
The knight thrust his sword in even as he spat out blood from his mouth.
Even though every muscle in his body refused, the knight did not stop his sword.
The ruler’s eyes widened at the horror.
Eventually, the knight’s black ruler reached him.
The ruler’s right arm was cut off and rolled on the floor.
The ruler was truly impressed by the empty right arm.
‘amazing.’
Pushing yourself like this-.
However, it was only one arm.
“It is now.”
The article was a mess.
I felt a chill right next to my neck.
Only then did the ruler realize.
That it was meant to force the movements of the knight’s black ruler.
It was the bastard’s third move.
‘It’s really terrible.’
A sharp, silent wind tore at the ruler’s neck.
The ruler’s head rose. The ruler’s gaze turned around.
In the air-.
‘Open it.’
The ruler gave a low command.
*
“This level of pressure. Is this a high-ranking demon?”
First muttered, shaking off his numb hands.
The First did not hold the Demons in high esteem. The Demons they faced in the center were all as weak as trash.
But the high-ranking demons of the north had a completely different presence.
‘I almost got on my knees.’
First bit his teeth hard.
‘I can’t believe I faced this alone.’
First was impressed by Galahad, who was limping towards him with a cigarette in his mouth.
I thought the difference had narrowed, but it was still far away. It was a hopeless difference.
‘I guess I can go higher.’
First, instead, raised the corners of his mouth.
If Galahad could go, First could go too.
At that moment, Galahad came up to me and held out his hand.
When the First tried to catch him, Galahad frowned.
Galahad did not extend his hand.
What he handed me was-.
“Isn’t it all flowing out? Put it in quickly.”
It was an empty water bottle.
****
‘······It’s a nuisance. It’s a nuisance.’
Adrianna continued to mutter to herself in a rough tone, looking into the red fog.
At that time, the captains arrived one after another with their troops. There were a considerable number of captured soldiers from the 6th Battalion. It seemed that they were late because they were trying to subdue them rather than eliminate them.
Within seconds, troops gathered around the bloody fog.
Pumpkin stopped them from entering.
“The ruler has the power to rule over those who are inferior to him. If you enter without caution, you are only helping the ruler.”
Pumpkin explained calmly. No one accepted Pumpkin’s explanation at face value.
The captains ignored him and tried to enter.
Adrianna stepped forward.
“The ruler is a dangerous high-ranking demon. Sending troops now would be like adding firewood to the fire.”
Because this was all Adrianna could do right now.
The captains rebelled against Adrianna’s orders.
At that time, 2nd Battalion Captain Liam stepped forward.
“This is an unknown area. It may have effects similar to those of a magic mirror, so it would be best to surround the area and wait.”
Following Liam, the captains of the 5th and 7th battalions joined in. The captains then stepped back. Each captain led his unit and took charge of his area.
“We have to hand over the high-ranking demons to the Empire.”
“Are you saying that we can’t deal with the high-ranking demons that the Empire can deal with?”
A few of the captains grumbled quietly. They seemed uneasy about having to wait as the belligerent captains of the North.
At that moment, a huge presence spread from inside. The soldiers bowed down on their own. Even the company commanders could only endure.
The captains’ faces hardened at the overwhelming momentum.
‘What happened-.’
Adrianna chewed her lip. The hand holding the knife felt numb.
After a while, the bloody fog slowly dissipated.
The captains each gave a hand signal. The troops moved diligently. The captains stepped forward and drew their weapons.
“The opponent is a high-ranking demon. Everyone, be on your guard.”
The movement of the troops was quiet and fast.
The blood-red fog was fading away. A heavy silence had settled in. The tension was rising as if it would burst at any moment. Some soldiers were trembling.
Then the wind blew and the bloody mist was driven away.
“Oh my-.”
The sight inside was quite gruesome. It was filled with flesh and bones, and there was a monster in the shape of a soldier standing still.
It was a horrifying sight that even the commanders who crossed the front lines were sick of.
At the center of it all was Galahad.
He looked a mess, but he was still safe.
the problem is-.
“Hold it properly! It’s the blood of a high-ranking demon! Do you know how precious it is?”
It was said that Galahad had the blood of a ruler.
And he did it with a very excited expression, even nagging at me-.
In a situation far beyond expectations-.
The captains’ faces became strange.
“I caught it just like you said!”
“Didn’t I tell you not to hold it like that? Hold it like this.”
Adriana became sharp-eyed.
