Episode 104 Touch
Adrianna was usually expressionless. Not just expressionless, but frozen.
But Galahad, with his keen eye, was able to notice the subtle change.
Adriana expressed her emotions with her eyebrows. When she was feeling bad, her eyebrows went down, and when she was feeling good, they went up.
It was such a subtle movement that it was hard to notice unless you looked closely.
When something really didn’t suit her, she became a squint. Even though she was a squint, all she had to do was put strength into her eyes, but it was quite a surprising change.
Galahad thought that was all Adrianna had to say.
however-.
“······yes?!”
‘When you’re really surprised, your eyes turn into rabbit eyes.’
Adrianna’s bangs went up, and her already large eyes grew even bigger. It was amazing how human eyes could be that big.
“······Where do you want me to touch you!”
“It’s the left breast.”
“I’m not asking because I don’t know, but-.”
“I just want you to touch my left breast with your bare hand. What are you thinking right now?” “······!”
Adrianna pursed her lips. Her face was flushed and her eyes were rabbit-like.
‘This might be difficult.’
I already knew that Adrianna was awkward with contact. Adrianna would freeze even if I just held her hand.
However, there was no time to explain everything. In the first place, it was impossible to explain that the high-ranking demon’s egg was in his chest.
Galahad then said with a serious face-.
“If I don’t touch it, I’ll die.”
He said it firmly.
“······If I don’t touch your chest, you’ll die? No, what’s that-.”
“I’m serious.”
Let’s speak again firmly, Adrianna’s lips quivered. Galahad passed him by, though he seemed not to understand.
Mana was still moving. I had to stop it as quickly as possible.
‘It’s coming out again slowly.’
From far away, I could hear the howling of a monster. It was louder than the ones that had come out before.
The lowest-ranking demons near the castle walls came out first, and the higher-ranking ones seemed to follow one after another.
The story was that the longer you drag it out, the more exponentially difficult it becomes. You had to finish it as quickly as possible.
There were too many caves made of demon blood. Even if they were physically destroyed, the demon blood would remain and the mana would flow.
This was something the Northerners, who knew nothing about magic, could not stop.
Unfortunately, Galahad was there now.
‘So many piranhas – is it my birthday?’
At the end of the cave, where countless paths diverged, was a huge pool of blood. It was quite large to be called a pool.
The putrid stench of demon blood rose up, but Galahad jumped down without hesitation.
Bang! Blood spurted out. The chill soaked my waist, and a disgusting smell tickled my nose.
Galahad put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it. The smell was so strong that even the refreshing scent of lemon could not overcome it. He clicked his tongue and twirled the golden staff.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! The egg of pain started beating like crazy. My vision turned red.
Thud. Adrianna landed next to me. Her face was red, perhaps because of the reflection of the puddle of blood.
Adrianna hesitated for a moment, then nodded at Galahad.
“I will touch it.”
There was a determined look on her face. Adriana held out her hand, which was shaking violently. She looked as if she was disposing of a bomb.
“······I’m not telling you to touch me now, but if I start acting strangely, you can touch me.”
Galahad squinted his eyes. Adrianna’s eyes shook wildly. Adrianna hurriedly hid her hands behind her back.
“Oh, yes! I will do my best.”
Galahad winced at the voice full of spirit.
‘Is this really that much of a deal?’
“Okay, please.”
“Yes, I will definitely do it.”
Adrianna nodded resolutely and headed back. It was where the demons and the dwarves were pouring in.
Galahad focused on the situation again.
I was thinking of using the pool of blood to create a red fog so that the blood of the demons that followed could be naturally absorbed.
However, simply having a thick red fog was not enough.
If we spread the red fog, we could prevent the mana from spreading throughout the entire north. Instead, a densely populated area of demons would be created here.
It could have been an even bigger problem.
It was thick, but it shouldn’t be good for the demons. It was a bit of a paradox. If it was thick, it was bound to be good for the demons.
It’s a method that’s thick, but at the same time not good for the demons.
hmm.
Galahad’s worries were short-lived.
‘I guess I’ll just turn this place into a sea of fire.’
A sea of fire so hot that even the demons couldn’t withstand it.
‘Like a boiler.’
It was really cold in the north.
Galahad took hold of the golden staff.
The pointed golden staff was quite good for drawing magic circles.

‘This is going to be a really great lower floor.’
Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.
*
‘Perfect.’
Galahad nodded after finishing the magic circle.
First, I planned to cast red fog.
When you cast Red Fog, the blood of the demons will naturally gather accordingly.
The problem came next.
The demons also needed fire to burn them down. However, a single flash of light was not enough.
The answer to that was also Adrianna.
Adrianna’s nature was to use demon blood as fuel. She would feed on demon blood and grow larger.
Galahad, who had studied Adrianna, came up with a method.
It causes high concentration of magic to burn incoming mana.
‘Transform the hellfire.’
What was needed was a thick mana that could create an overwhelming gap.
‘It just so happens.’
Galahad shook the flask containing the ruler’s blood. A clear, clinking sound was heard.
The blood of the Demon Tribe becomes more and more terrible in taste as its level increases.
That’s why the blood of the high-ranking demon ruler was truly horribly disgusting. It was the essence of disgust.
However, the terrible taste wasn’t that big of a problem.
The real problem was the destructive power contained in that blood.
Even after drinking six sips, my body became a rag. I needed to drink at least two cans to carry out my plan.
It was clear that the aftereffects would be unbearable.
It was the kind that shook existence. Even with Galahad’s exceptional mental strength, it was quite difficult to endure.
No, there was no need to hold out.
Galahad glanced down.
Thump! The heartbeat grew louder. Its presence was clearly revealed.
‘It’s noisy.’
Thump! The Egg of Pain laughed loudly. The bastard’s sinister laugh shook Galahad’s mind.
The eggs of pain that drank the blood of the high-ranking demons were all over the place. As expected, they were simple-minded.
So it was easy to predict.
‘Never come up so arrogantly.’
Thump! The egg of pain jumped even louder as if laughing. Galahad desperately lowered the corners of his mouth.
We also prepared countermeasures to prepare for unexpected situations.
‘Adrianna-.’
After finishing his calculations, Galahad opened the lid of the water bottle and poured some into his mouth.
A hot breath ran down my neck. My mind shook violently.
‘Hand it over.’
The Egg of Pain sprayed mana violently. Unlike before, it felt like it was being thrown away. This is for you-.
Galahad took hold of the golden staff.
The magic circle was complete. All it needed was a concentrated mana to start it.
‘You’re causing trouble.’
Galahad winced at the strong impulse.
The root of it was hellfire. Hellfire was improved to suit its purpose.
In the first place, Hellfire was not that difficult, as it was a magic no different from the one Galahad had created.
‘A bit weaker, but can burn for a long time. The range depends on the mana-.’
It was a magic based on hellfire, but it was a completely different magic.
A new name was needed.
chamberlain-.
“That sounds good.”
The corners of Galahad’s mouth twisted.
*
Adrianna loved swords because when she swung them, no other thoughts came to her mind.
Black was her refuge, her most familiar coolness.
It was definitely like that, but now, even as she cut down the demons with her sword, strange thoughts kept coming to her mind. Galahad’s strange request filled Adrianna’s head.
Adrianna’s nature burned the mana of anyone she touched. Even non-magicians who touched Adrianna suffered excruciating pain.
I never had any contact with that vicious temper.
For Adrianna, who was awkward even when holding hands, Galahad’s request was quite burdensome.
For Adrianna, wandering the magic world alone was the easier option.
‘I wouldn’t do that for no reason.’
Although Galahad was usually a mischievous prankster, there was a reason for his actions.
The fate of the North was at stake now. He must be sincere.
but-.
‘······Chest? How?’
Adrianna was frustrated, realizing too late that she hadn’t asked for detailed instructions.
Whether it’s just touching, or like loosening up a muscle-.
Adrianna shook her head hastily.
The demons coming through the hole are getting stronger. It couldn’t be helped. The demons at the outermost part will come out first.
As time passes, the demons inside will also come out.
If the North had become the territory of the Demon Tribe, the North could have collapsed.
It was an obvious crisis.
The solution to this was Galahad.
What Adrianna has to do is-.
“······Ugh.”
My stomach was churning. My head also seemed to hurt for no reason.
Adrianna glanced behind her.
Galahad stood in the center of a pool of blood, proud and dignified as always.
The face was not good. It was wrinkled. It was shaking all the time, as if it was trying to endure pain. The veins were all over the place.
Galahad was already in bad shape. It was clear that he was overdoing it.
“heating.”
Galahad struck down his golden staff.
thud.
‘The blood is moving.’
The huge pool around Galahad began to boil, bubbling and bubbling as if it was being heated intensely.
The blood of the demon race rose. Red smoke gradually spread. The smoke, which was light at first, quickly became thick.
“cycle.”
Galahad brought down his golden staff again with all his might.
Boom! Then, a red fog spread out in an instant. It was like a heavy snowstorm. The blood on the ground boiled even more violently.
Galahad opened the canteen. His hands were shaking. He could feel the strain.
She had to stop it, but Adrianna couldn’t.
It wasn’t simply because the survival of the North depended on Galahad.
The reason Adrianna couldn’t stop him was because Galahad was laughing so hard.
Who knew you could make that kind of expression?
Adrianna was slightly surprised.
At that moment, Galahad put the water bottle in his mouth. His throat kept gurgling. His veins followed suit.
The corners of Galahad’s mouth went up.
Creepy-. Adriana felt even more chilled than when she faced the ruler.
A slap came from Adrianna’s hand holding the sword.
Galahad raised his head. Red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Adrianna chewed her lip.
It has to be dried. No-.
‘It must be stopped.’
Adrianna had to desperately suppress her instinctive warning.
At that moment, Galahad raised his golden staff.
and-.
“hell.”
He whispered with a sly voice and snapped his fingers.
A fire rose from the golden rod.
It was such a small spark that it made all the tension I had felt up until then seem insignificant.
A faint spark that could easily be blown out by the wind.
‘Dangerous.’
Adrianna felt a distinct sense of danger.
At that moment, a small spark left the golden rod. The spark floated in the air like a fluttering seed. It seemed as if it would go out at any moment.
At that moment, the red fog and sparks touched.
The red fog that filled the cave and the tiny sparks no bigger than a finger joint – it was clear which of the two would be superior.
However, the result was the exact opposite. The red fog was food for the sparks. It was oil. It was a host.
The sparks quickly grew in size as they ate the red fog.
A huge fire erupted in the center of the cave. Its intensity was so intense that the entire cave became hot for a moment.
The time it took was a blink of an eye.
The fire that had filled the center of the cave did not stop there. It began to spread in all directions, as if it was trying to consume and burn everything.
The numerous small caves surrounding the cave were no exception. The fire explored every place as if it would not miss a single one. It devoured them greedily.
It wasn’t just a simple fire. It was a ferocious fire that wouldn’t go out until it burned everything the moment it started.
The fierce fire also struck Adrianna. The scorching heat poured down on Adrianna.
Adrianna raised her aura in a hurry. It was stronger than when she had fought the demons.
A pure white aura surrounded Adrianna. It was an aura that had the property of burning magic.
This was definitely magic, so it was bound to burn.
however-.
‘······It’s being pushed.’
Adrianna’s aura was pushed back.
Adrianna’s eyes widened.
A magic that overcomes one’s own nature.
Adrianna was genuinely embarrassed.
I hurriedly raised the aura even louder, and only then did the fire go out.
A sizzling heat filled the cave.
The demons and beasts behind Adrianna were consumed by the fire. The heat grew stronger as if the demons were fuel.
The fire that ate the demons and the beasts filled the hole behind them.
The whole place was filled with a terrible fire. The cries of the angry demons and beasts could be heard here and there.
This-.
‘It’s hell.’
Adrianna’s eyes narrowed.
So, to avoid the demon’s territory-.
‘······You created hell?’
Adrianna remembered Galahad’s request.
Even Galahad would be in danger from this level of fire. Adrianna ran towards Galahad in a hurry.
Contrary to fears, Galahad was fine.
No, rather, it looked better than before.
the problem is-.
‘······White hair?’
Galahad’s appearance was different than before.
His hair was white and flowing. His eyes were red, as if they were filled with blood.
It wasn’t just the appearance that changed. The momentum was different.
Originally, Galahad was a neat nobleman. He was relaxed and elegant, and always had an upright posture.
But now, he had a sinister look on his face. His hair, which was usually neatly combed, was all messy, and the corners of his mouth were fierce. His eyes were filled with the ferocity of a wild beast.
At that, Galahad smiled ferociously.
“Hahahaha, my time has finally come. Bow down at my feet, you insignificant beings. Feel the infinite power.”
He muttered strange things that were not the kind of things Galahad would say.
Moreover, the momentum was subtle.
That’s definitely-.
‘Intermediate Demon?’
No, it was a bit subtle to call him a demon. He was human, but he felt closer to a demon.
“Hey, female.”
At that moment, a man in the form of Galahad pointed at Adrianna.
How dare you use such words in the presence of Galahad-. Adrianna’s eyes crumpled.
at that time-.
“Infinite power-. Hmm?”
The guy looked down and tilted his head. He tapped my chest. Soon, as if he was frustrated, he tore off his coat. His upper body was completely exposed.
He had a solid body full of lean muscles. But on top of that, he was covered in scars. He was tougher than the northern warriors who had spent their entire lives on the front lines.
‘What kind of life is this······.’
The bastard’s stomach lurched violently. A strange sound, thud, thud, was heard repeatedly. Then the bastard opened his mouth wide. A small breath escaped through the gap.
Within-.
“Kuaaaaah! Kuaaaaah! Profit! Aaaah!”
The bastard let out a terrible scream and fell to the floor.
The bastard twisted his body without even being able to scream.
The strange behavior Galahad had spoken of was clear.
‘Weird behavior. Chest. Bare hands.’
Adrianna nodded firmly. She slowly took off her gauntlets. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands.
And he sat down carefully next to Galahad.
Adriana swallowed dryly at the sight of his rough upper body exposed.
Adrianna’s hands were a curse. They were very wicked hands that caused terrible pain to anyone who touched them.
I’m sure that will be the case-.
‘My hands are of help.’
Adrianna couldn’t understand.
It was a natural story. Adrianna had suffered from this cursed nature all her life.
But I said I needed Galahad-.
‘I will believe you.’
Soon Adriana made a firm decision. She slowly reached out her hand. Her face was hot from the heat. She felt like she was going to burst.
‘This is a request.’
Adrianna squeezed her eyes shut.
Soon, a solid bend was felt.
I felt a pulse beyond that.
It was the first time I felt someone else’s heartbeat.
at that time-.
“I didn’t say anything about kneading.”
A calm voice was heard.
When I opened my eyes, there was Galahad with a tired face.
“You, you’re really sinister.”
Adriana pursed her lips, then just shut her eyes tightly.
