Episode 133 Now
“Fantastic.”
Galahad shook the leather that Tom had cleaned and handed him.
The magic circle engraved on the leather caught my eye. This wasn’t just a magic circle. It was a work of art.
“Is it really the monster tamer’s?”
Adrianna’s question broke my thoughts. When I turned my gaze, I saw Adrianna’s face with a very hardened expression.
“That’s right, this is a real monster tamer’s work.”
“The monster trainer is alive?”
“I can’t tell if it’s the demon tamer himself or his disciple. It’s clear that it’s the demon tamer’s magic circle.”
Galahad stretched out his hide.
“Moving that large monster, the magic circle is the size of a human head. A magic circle from the old days made light—. This is truly amazing. Your understanding of monsters is amazing. Is one of your parents a monster?”
Galahad gave heartfelt praise.
“Captain, why do you keep praising the monster trainer?”
Gilbutton frowned and pointed behind him. When he turned his head, he saw the knights hastily avoiding his gaze. Their faces were subtle.
“Isn’t the demon tamer one of the five evil men?”
Gilbert added slyly.
The Five Great Evildoers were legendary villains who sided with the Demons during the Jema War.
The Jema War itself was so long ago that it was treated as an old tale in the Empire, but the North, which was in direct contact with the Demon Tribe, seemed different.
“What does the Five Great Evils have to do with it? Value exists in the object itself.”
“No, but the five great villains are a bit…”
Gilbert frowned again.
“What would you do if you met the evil swordsman, the Sword Demon?”
Gilverton’s expression became dazed for a moment at Galahad’s question. He closed his eyes as if he was thinking, and then nodded.
“I am curious. The sword of the Sword Demon.”
“It’s the same thing. What’s important is not the sword, but the person holding the sword.”
Galahad spoke as he looked at Adrianna. Adrianna’s eyebrows wavered slightly.
“This is different from the current magic circle and method. I wouldn’t have been able to do it even if I just looked at it and followed it. Now I understand why there is a deterioration plate.”
I used to think they had spread the fake news on purpose, but seeing the reality made me change my mind.
The magic circle of the demon trainer was completely different from the current method. It was a completely different method and had an unbelievable complexity and precision – even if you drew it next to the real thing, it would inevitably end up as a poor version.
“Can you draw, sir?”
“Sir Gilbert, what do you think of me? I have even revised the old version. It is easy to copy and paste. Revising will take some time, though.”
Gilverton tilted his head at Galahad’s assurance.
“So you’re saying you’re going to become a monster tamer?”
“Sir Gilbert, if you steal the sword of the Demon and use it, will you become a Demon?”
“Hey, what kind of stupid thing is that?”
“It’s okay, you’re Gilbutton.”
Gilbert blinked. Galahad chuckled. Adrianna lowered her hand, which she had raised slightly.
Galahad, who was absorbed in the magic circle, did not see it.
“You can’t catch a monster and use it, but you can apply it.”
“What do you mean by applying?”
“Sir Gilbert, you are a persistent worker.”
“Is this a curse?”
“That’s a compliment.”
The magic circle was simply used to direct the flow of mana. A medium was needed to get it started.
Usually, magic stones were used. However, these were monsters in the magic realm. It was impossible with magic stones.
Then what should I use as a medium? The magic circle was red. It was drawn with the blood of the true demons.
“hmm.”
Galahad took a deep breath and smelled the blood.
To this extent-.
“You used the blood of a mid-level demon. And it was fresh.”
It seemed that they were using the fact that the blood of the Demon Tribe was thicker even though they were of the same level. It was quite effective.
“Ahem-.”
Gilbutton coughed softly. When he turned his head, he saw knights with tired faces.
“This magic circle was made using the blood of an intermediate-level demon. The size of the magic circle is small, so it’s not easy to target, so it’s a good method. However-.”
Then, one side became noisy. The sound of thumping footsteps could be heard.
“You came just in time. You’re a monster!”
“Everyone, straighten up your formation!”
Adrianna immediately shouted.
“It’s an attack!”
“Damn, they don’t give me a chance to rest.”
As expected from a direct unit, the reaction was quite fast. They surrounded Galahad and the special forces.
The defensive formation was more solid than before. In particular, the formation centered around Galahad seemed to be protecting the nobles.
Because of the excessive focus on Galahad, Adrianna became completely detached. It was almost as if she was abandoned.
“Centered around Captain Galahad!”
Adrianna ordered that the defenses be strengthened.
Galahad’s mind was already focused elsewhere. Galahad examined the magic circle closely.

‘A 12-layer magic circle? That’s truly amazing.’
This magic circle was different from the current magic circle method. It was quite crude and intuitive. However, it was not simple. In fact, it was more complicated because it was crude.
Shouts and the sound of weapons being fired were heard all around him, but Galahad’s gaze was fixed on the magic circle.
As Galahad was examining the magic circle, a good idea suddenly occurred to him.
‘Ah, if the medium is the blood of an intermediate demon-.’
The corners of Galahad’s mouth went up deeply.
*
‘f*ck, there are so many!’
Carat, the knight of the direct unit, muttered a curse. Monsters poured in from all directions.
Even though the Demon Realm is the home of the Demon Tribe, I felt like I encountered it more often than others. It was as if someone was attacking me.
‘I thought you were a monster trainer.’
Carat muttered, glancing sideways at Galahad inside.
Monsters were coming at Galahad from all sides, and he was fighting for his life to stop them.
But Galahad himself was calm. He was examining the leather as if he was reading a book.
It was a sight that could have been more disheartening, but unlike before, no one complained.
Because they knew how important Galahad’s role was. No one was stupid enough not to know its value.
Even if Galahad were to sleep soundly, they wouldn’t say anything. They would just grit their teeth and protect Galahad.
However, there was always one twisted one.
“I feel very comfortable alone.”
Someone grumbled quietly. Not loudly. Just a small soliloquy. Carat glared at him.
at that time-,
“Oh, just a moment.”
Galahad waved his hand lightly.
The wind that had been blowing for a long time suddenly stopped. The ash that had been pushed away came rushing back like a huge wave.
Soon, the fog of death filled the surroundings. The demonic realm had returned. Thick darkness filled the place, making it impossible to see even an inch ahead.
“Quick, clear the fog!”
“I can’t see anything!”
“What the hell is complaining! This is eighteen!”
Loud noises erupted from all over the place. This direct unit was composed entirely of those who had been in the Demon Realm. That direct unit was greatly shaken.
The difference felt even greater because it was there and then not there. The one who complained was showered with curses. The one who complained apologized loudly.
At that moment, Carat felt a strange feeling. When she turned her head towards him-.
“Gwen, I think it would be better if you threw it upwards!”
“Got it! Blast-fire-ball-!”
“Mr. Gilbutton, the left side seems a little empty!”
“Knight- Gilbutton!”
“I’m hungry.”
“Damian, here you go!”
‘Why are they so familiar?’
Clearly, the special forces had never been inside a demon realm before, but they were extremely relaxed.
Even the little boy ate the beef jerky. Even the soldier carrying the load wasn’t flustered.
I felt more familiar with the Demonic Realm than with my direct unit.
“It’s okay! It’s just that my view is blocked!”
A soldier named Tom even encouraged the knights around him.
“Tch, to be so flustered over something like this? What a waste of the name 1st Battalion!”
What is this-.
At that moment, a white aura shot out from one side. The knights scattered. Adrianna approached urgently.
‘Adrianna isn’t taking the lead.’
Carat’s eyes widened.
“Is something wrong?”
Adrianna waved her hand widely. The ash in the aura that had risen up lightly disappeared. Only then did Galahad appear.
Galahad-.
‘Are you laughing?’
He was smiling brighter than before. His face was like that of a child holding a happy toy.
“There was something I needed to check.”
“yes?”
“It’s not easy to control living beings. There’s a reason why mental interference is classified as advanced magic. It’s easier to control monsters than beasts because they rely on their instincts, but they require a high concentration of mana.”
Adriana blinked at the torrent of words.
“This magic circle is incredibly sophisticated, but it cannot be perfect. Perfection is an unattainable ideal.”
Galahad smiled brightly and snapped his fingers.
······!!
A terrible howl was heard from one side. The howl spread in all directions as if it were contagious. Then came a series of dull thuds.
Something flew through the fog.
“Even if you touch it just a little like this, it goes out of alignment.”
Galahad waved his hand calmly. Soon the wind blew the ash away.
Then what you see is-.
‘······The monsters are fighting each other?’
They were monsters biting each other’s necks. The monsters chewed each other up. They attacked without caring even if their own necks were cut off.
The battle between the monsters was fierce. They continued to eat until they stopped moving. Blood spurted out and flesh was scattered.
The monsters that had been rushing in were fighting among themselves. And they were even splattering flesh.
Why are the monsters fighting each other in a tangled manner? No, the monsters originally fought among themselves. They didn’t call the demons a group for nothing.
However, aren’t these monsters the same ones that surrounded this place just now?
I couldn’t understand why it suddenly turned back into its original form.
“What is going on?”
Everyone turned their attention to Adrianna’s question. The direction was Galahad again.
“Mana flows from low concentration to high concentration. This is an application of that law.”
Galahad smiled brightly, shaking his leather. It was the kind of smile a parent would make when showing off their child. Adrianna’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“This magic circle basically uses a 12-layer formula. To utilize the monster’s thick mana concentration-. No. Now, let me smell it.”
When Galahad held out the leather, everyone took a step back. Adrianna hesitated for a moment and then sniffed it.
“What do you think?”
“It’s annoying.”
“That’s right, because I used the blood of the demon tribe.”
Adrianna’s nose wrinkled slightly. Soon, Adrianna nodded.
“The blood of an intermediate demon would be enough. No matter how thick the mana concentration of the demon realm is, it is not as thick as the blood of a demon. However, what if you could instantly spray mana that is higher than the mana concentration of an intermediate demon?”
Galahad shook the leather. The magic circle engraved on it melted and flowed away.
“It’s bound to break. Mana flows to places with higher concentrations.”
Galahad chuckled, throwing the melted hide behind him.
Carat glanced around. Everyone had similar expressions. It was as if they had heard a foreign language.
There wasn’t a single face that understood.
“I see… That’s amazing.”
Adriana clapped awkwardly. Everyone followed suit and clapped.
“Ah, this is the most fun part-.”
Everyone turned their attention to Galahad, who was explaining next.
Damien, who had been concentrating alone, dozed off.
****
“So you defeated the monster tamer?”
Gilbert asked bluntly. When he raised his head, he saw the surrounding gazes. Everyone was looking at Galahad with astonishment.
‘Well, that’s what it looks like to them.’
The beast tamer’s magic circle was sophisticated, but it was not perfect. Galahad had targeted that exact weakness.
It was ambiguous to say that he had won. The one who had carved the magic circle had basically abandoned this monster.
“This isn’t a matter of winning or losing. I’m destroying the magic circle by targeting the parts that can’t be perfect.”
“So you lost?”
“Are there only winning and losing things in the world?”
“Isn’t it?”
Gilbutton wrinkled his nose. It was a very Gilbutton-like face.
“If we’re going to be precise, I won. Because I destroyed my opponent’s weakness.”
“As expected, Captain, you are amazing. Even defeating a monster trainer.”
Haha, Galahad gave up his denial at Gilbutton’s refreshing smile.
The battle was in its final stages. It was thanks to the monsters biting each other. The remaining monsters were cleaned up by other knights.
The knights who had been grumbling until now began to move briskly. Some of them even saluted when they made eye contact with Galahad.
“I’ve only collected the ones in good condition. If you need more, I’ll pack them for you.”
Tom held out a bundle of leather. Galahad examined each piece. They were all cleanly cleaned, except for the magic circle area.
It was Tom, after all.
The finishing touches were quickly completed.
Galahad, his leather-bound hands flicked away.
The wind blew and pushed the ashes away.
As if this place were a road-.
The signal from the four-legged demon was coming from that direction.
Adrianna took the lead.
As expected from the Demon Realm, demons and beasts constantly appeared.
The monsters that rushed in noisily were somewhat better, but there were also monsters that came out of the ground or fell from the sky.
If you wear the Demon Tamer’s magic circle, Galahad can disperse them, but gradually, raw demons and demons began to appear.
To prepare for him, it was necessary to maintain detection of the demons and secure vision.
The concentration of mana in the Demonic Realm was extremely high. It required a concentration higher than that of a low-level monster.
Even for Galahad, maintaining detection and vision in such a magical realm was difficult.
However, it was well worth it.
By detecting the demons and securing their sight, the direct units were able to exert their full power.
“Do you look happy?”
“Of course it’s good. It’s not often that you get a chance to practice magic to your heart’s content like this.”
Gilbert stepped back, disgusted.
However, as always, variables arose between the smooth sailing.
I was trying to stop an attack by a strangely shaped mid-level monster. At that moment, a strange chill came over me.
The monster kept rolling its eyes and rushing at me, so I sprinkled some mana just in case, but something got caught on it.
Tak, Galahad lifted his detection and set up a barrier. Soon, a translucent barrier appeared. Something transparent struck the barrier.
It was a formless, high-concentration mana that was sharp like an arrow.
‘That’s power.’
While fighting a monster, how dare you use your power to ambush him? Galahad let out his wind and set up his detection. He strengthened his defensive wall.
Within a short distance, I found some demons. There was one high-level demon and some mid-level demons.
‘The army of the colony.’
Adrianna’s explanation that the Demons form groups from the upper level came to mind.
At that time, Adrianna said that the high-ranking demons were at odds with each other and there would be no king.
It was quite strange to see those demons move like monsters. They even had the monsters in front of them and spread their powers behind them.
However, that was something that was well within the category.
What was unusual was their clothing. The demons were armed like soldiers.
Although they were all armor, they were all rusted iron armor, but the problem was the pattern engraved on them.
“Ha, those demon kids are dressed like soldiers. Isn’t that ridiculous?”
Gilbert clicked his tongue and readjusted his grip on his sword.
There were a lot of them here. Even if the demons attacked like monsters, they could easily stop them.
There was no answer from Galahad. Gilverton turned his head to him and flinched.
Galahad’s face was completely wrinkled.
It’s like I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.
How could Galahad, who always had a relaxed smile, react like that? Gilverton squinted his eyes and looked at the demon.
The only thing unusual was the crude armament. There was a crest on the armament, but it was something I had never seen before.
“Well, that’s the imperial emblem. This is a bit surprising.”
Gilverton tilted his head at Galahad’s gruff muttering.
“Huh? Isn’t that the imperial emblem?”
“That’s not Gilbert’s answer. It’s the correct answer. It’s not the current empire.”
Galahad squinted his eyes. It was a face he had never seen before.
‘The current empire?’
Gilbert woke Damien up and grabbed his sword.
Damien also took up the sword.
