Episode 140. Tsdam tsdam
‘what-.’
Carat’s eyes widened as if they were going to tear apart.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on one place.
There is-.
“Well, is this it?”
Galahad was leisurely picking up some tobacco.
In front of him was a demon with his eyes rolled back. Foam was rising from the demon’s mouth. The demon was horribly twisted.
Just by the touch of Galahad’s hand, the demons became like that.
Carat glanced around. There were corpses of demons all around.
It was Galahad’s doing.
‘The demons couldn’t even resist.’
This was the Demon Realm, the home of the Demon Tribe. It was a place where the Demon Tribe grew several times stronger, and where even breathing became painful for humans.
In that magical realm, Galahad-.
‘I hunted the demons.’
Hunting demons in the Demon Realm-. Carat muttered that strange phrase.
I couldn’t believe it, but I couldn’t deny it because I saw it with my own eyes.
At that moment, someone stood in front of Carat. It was Gilbert, who looked like a mess.
Gilbutton-.
“This is a special force.”
He spoke with the corners of his lips raised.
‘What are you.’
Carrot was disgusted.
*
“You are amazing.”
Gilbutton said with a somewhat puzzled look on his face.
The knights of the direct unit that had been standing in line were looking at Galahad with subtle expressions.
Galahad, however, was not pleased. In reality, he only caught the lower and middle ranks. No matter how much he reduced the concentration, he could not catch the upper ranks.
The result was unsatisfactory.
“It’s not that big of a deal this time.”
Gilbert’s face became even more wrinkled. His already ugly face became even uglier.
“······Yes? Where does it hurt?”
“What does that mean?”
“How can a captain be humble?”
Galahad frowned at Gilbert’s serious question.
“I’m not being arrogant. I’m just stating the facts.”
“Don’t you always say it’s great?”
“Well, that’s always great.”
Gilbert’s face became a little uglier. Galahad chuckled.
“Put your face away. Doesn’t that make your already ugly face even uglier?”
“Ahem, how did you do it?”
Gilbutton asked, pointing to the demon lying next to him. There was a large mark on the demon’s neck. It was the mark of an ice pick.
“The Demons are very sensitive to mana. If the concentration is high, they avoid it, and if it is low, they cannot cause damage.”
“······Please speak in Imperial language.”
Galahad continued his explanation without paying any attention.
“I use mana detection to determine the location and concentration of the demons, and then spray magic that matches that concentration. Well, Sir Gilverton, you are right.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“I’m great. Yes, I am great.”
“Damn, it’s the captain.”
Galahad laughed and shook his hands at Gilbert’s crude reaction.
Even though I was using mana too much, the condition of the mana circuit was fine.
‘Because it’s a devil’s paradise.’
The concentration of mana in the Magic Realm was so high that it was difficult to use magic. When Galahad first entered the Magic Realm, it wasn’t for nothing that he had a hard time.
It was clear that most wizards would not be able to use magic in the Demon Realm.
Instead, if you can use magic, the magic realm is actually an advantage.
Because it’s full of concentrated mana.
together-.
‘Gwen’s recovery has also improved.’
Galahad turned his head slightly. Gwen was swaying.
Gwen’s recovery was more effective. It wasn’t just about replenishing mana. It felt like the burden on the mana circuit caused by mana management was also washed away.
‘Because it’s power.’
Galahad looked down at Gwen. Gwen blinked and looked up. When their eyes met, Gwen flinched.
“Well done, Gwen. That was great.”
“······really?!”
Gwen blinked her big eyes as she was praised. Galahad nodded sincerely.
“Yeah, that was a big help.”

“Wow! Say it again!”
Gwen jumped. The compliment seemed quite nice.
Galahad nodded, wondering if Gwen’s bad habits would worsen.
“Gwen, you are the best.”
Gwen lifted her chin. Her body shook. She seemed hungry for praise.
Well, Gwen was the worst at both cleaning and cooking. Where would she have heard praise from?
Since it had come to this, Galahad patted Gwen on the head.
“Gwen, you are the best. You are the most capable maid in the Special Forces.”
“Really! Wow! Did you hear that?!”
Gwen lifted her chin at Gilbert, her eyes sparkling. Gilbert rolled his eyes and ran away.
“I caught six.”
This time, Damian stuck his head in. Galahad patted Damian’s head in return.
“You are the best Damian in the special forces.”
“Did you hear that?”
Damien looked at Gilbutton and asked.
“What are you saying, you little brat?”
“Huh-huh-.”
Damien laughed softly and stepped back.
At that moment, Gilbutton’s eyes met mine. Gilbutton’s eyes twitched.
“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of petting the man.”
“What is that······. I don’t like it either.”
“That’s good. I thought you wanted to be praised too.”
“Okay. I am a knight.”
“Yes, Sir Gilbert, you are a great knight.”
“Ahem.”
Gilbutton’s face became like an ugly desert fox.
“Are you okay?”
Adrianna asked calmly. Adrianna’s sword was covered in dust. It made me wonder how many demons she had killed.
“What were you doing?”
“You were praising them. Isn’t praise important for boosting morale?”
“Oh, that’s right. Appropriate praise is effective in boosting morale.”
Adrianna nodded. Then suddenly-.
“The total number of demons I have killed is twenty-five.”
Adrianna bowed her head as she reported.
“Oh, do you want to be praised too?”
“······No. I said that because I thought it would be easier for you to make a judgment if you provided an accurate report.”
“I see. Thank you.”
Galahad nodded slightly and turned his gaze. Adrianna’s eyebrows wavered slightly.
The knights around them were barely able to catch their breath. They were all drenched in sweat. Their faces were filled with exhaustion.
This was a devil’s paradise. It was only natural that fatigue would pile up.
In contrast-.
‘There’s still a lot left.’
The number was reduced by a series of perfect victories, but the number was too high to begin with.
There were also many restrictions. The battle had to be fought while appropriately catching the demons’ attention. The moment they caught his attention, it was over.
The limitations were clear.
I couldn’t deal with all those demons by ambush.
That wasn’t what Galahad was aiming for in the first place.
“I guess it’s time to move on to the next step.”
Galahad shook off the tobacco.
“What’s next?”
“Yeah, I cut it off at the waist so much that the inside would be a mess.”
“Ah, so you attacked while changing positions.”
Galahad nodded calmly. In any case, a simple ambush had its limits.
“The next task must be done internally.”
“······Is this internal?”
Adrianna’s voice rose subtly.
“Yes, it is effective only when you shake the outside and inside at the same time.”
“······I see. But how do you infiltrate the interior of a tribe of over a hundred people?”
Adrianna’s question was valid. They were demons. A demon army of hundreds of people. How could they infiltrate there?
‘The demons who mixed in with humans-.’
Galahad recalled the events of the 1st Battalion.
It wasn’t easy to find the demons mixed with humans. It wasn’t for nothing that there was chaos in the 1st Battalion.
Then what about humans mixed among the demons?
‘How do demons find humans?’
The demons were sensitive to mana.
therefore-.
‘I’ll find out with Mana.’
Humans had no mana in their blood. Wizards had a small amount of mana in their blood – and it was more likely to be detected through mana.
So what would Galahad, with his blood infused with high concentrations of mana, look like to the Demons?
Galahad looked at the guide demon. When their eyes met, the creature’s gaze wavered subtly.
‘It’s probably a low-level demon.’
Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.
“Huh? You said infiltration?”
Gilbert’s crude question broke his thoughts. Galahad nodded lightly.
“I will shake from within. You shake from without. Then there will surely be a crack.”
“No, there are still over a hundred left. How do you plan on infiltrating them?”
Gilbert asked urgently. Adrianna nodded in agreement.
In the ticklish gaze of the two-.
“It’s a trade secret.”
Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.
Gilbutton became ugly, and Adrianna’s eyebrows lowered, but she didn’t stop him.
I just let out a deep sigh.
“Then I will go with you.”
“Adrianna, wouldn’t the demons recognize you right away?”
Galahad pointed around Adrianna. The fog was clearing in real time. Adrianna chewed her lip.
“Then I will go. I can act as that demon.”
“Demon acting? I’m curious about that.”
“Yes, look.”
Gilbutton’s face hardened. And he became expressionless. It was a perfect expressionless face. It was very similar to the indifference characteristic of the Demon Race.
“Oh my, even the Demon Mother is fooled.”
“Well, I lived my whole life on the battlefield.”
“But you’re ugly, so you won’t be able to do it.”
“······yes?”
“Aren’t demons basically handsome? You’re impossible.”
“f*ck.”
Gilbert’s face crumpled.
Galahad looked back, grinning. Tom was busy preparing something.
“Tom, are you ready?”
Galahad said it jokingly, since he hadn’t told Tom yet.
however-.
“Yes, here it is.”
What Tom brought was a rusted suit of armor from the Demon Tribe. It was exactly the same size as Galahad.
It seemed like he had prepared after hearing Galahad’s conversation. It was truly an incredible preparation.
“As expected of Tom.”
Galahad smiled with satisfaction.
“······Are you really planning to go alone?”
Adrianna asked cautiously. Galahad shook his head lightly.
and-.
“Hey, guide. Let’s go.”
I called out to the guide demon inside.
“why me?”
To the sharp-asking demons-.
“It is the saint’s will.”
Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.
The guide’s face was completely wrinkled.
****
‘As expected, it’s Tom.’
Galahad muttered, tapping his rusted armor.
The surface was still rusty, but the inside was clean. It even smelled like something had been applied.
“Infiltrating the Demon Tribe and shaking their internal structure-. So there was a reason why the Saintess said they were crazy.”
The guide demon’s eyes widened. He kept shaking his armor, as if he didn’t want to touch it.
“Now that we are comrades, let’s introduce ourselves. My name is Galahad.”
Galahad asked leisurely. The guide’s eyes widened at him.
The bastard’s eyes went up and down. His face crumpled even more. It was as if the four-legged saint had given him an order.
“It’s Binglian.”
“Oh, Binglian. What a wonderful name.”
Galahad laughed lightly and straightened his back. His gait also changed to a more clumsy one. Like a real knight.
“Binglian, if you keep troubling me, I’ll ask the saintess to do it for you.”
“Ha, how dare you-.”
The guide demon’s face was completely wrinkled. The guide demon’s momentum changed in an instant. His energy sank deeply.
“It was a demon from the mental world.”
“Who dares call me a demon?”
“Then what?”
“······I am a believer.”
The guide’s answer was calm.
The four-legged demon was a saint and even had a temple.
‘Is this the Suicide Squad’s sect?’
It seemed quite plausible. Galahad nodded slightly.
“Yes, Binglian Shinto. It’s too long. I should shorten it a bit. It would be better to call it by its last name. So-.”
Galahad pointed at the bastard with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
“I think the ice rink would be nice.”
“This uncivilized guy-.”
The Ice God growled harshly. Galahad laughed and walked away.
The front was covered in fog. I held back because I might have pushed the fog away and drawn the demons’ attention.
In the first place, the fog was cleared for others.
Galahad was already more accustomed to mana detection. He poured out low-concentration mana.
I closed my eyes tightly. I drew a virtual map with the mana that was returning.
If you put the demon tribe as a red dot-.
‘It’s all red.’
Galahad clicked his tongue lightly.
Without hesitation, I walked towards the place full of red dots.
I could feel the blatant hostility from all sides. The hostility unique to the Demon Race was sharp and stabbing everywhere.
The footsteps grew louder and louder. There was no conversation. There was just the steady sound of footsteps.
The virtual red dot grew larger and larger.
‘It’s almost pointless to draw.’
Full of hostility and red dots – tension was rising naturally.
Galahad took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and went with the flow.
The number of demons increased. The sound of footsteps became chaotic. The smell of rust and decay filled my nose.
Galahad concentrated until the end and tried to find the gap, but there was a limit.
The fog in front dispersed, and a demon emerged. The expressionless demon wearing rusted armor stared at Galahad for a moment.
Just a pair of ghostly eyes filled with hostility were turned towards Galahad.
‘He is a high-level demon.’
The higher-level demons could only be dealt with by drinking from a water bottle. It was dangerous at such close range.
Even if we dealt with him right away, the aftermath would be a problem. We would be surrounded by hundreds of demons.
The moment I got caught, it was over. I finished calculating, but I couldn’t help but feel nervous. My hands were numb. My mind was going crazy.
However, tension was poison. Leisure was a weapon.
Galahad put down the poison and readjusted his weapon.
A moment of silence that seemed like eternity passed by.
The guy turned his gaze.
‘It works.’
To deceive the demons-.
An indescribable thrill came over me.
Galahad squeezed the numb hand and smiled.
My back was damp with sweat, but it actually felt refreshing.
“······Mad man.”
Galahad headed inward without hesitation.
*
‘What is this guy?’
The guide demon stared at Galahad.
The guy was ambiguous, but he was definitely human.
To other demons, they might just appear as demons, but not to Binglian.
Originally, to become a demon, one had to be cursed. But I didn’t feel any curse from him.
But how-.
‘Can you walk around so confidently?’
There were hundreds of demons wandering around. It was natural for a non-demon to feel fear.
But the guy moved very smoothly, as if he had no feelings of fear.
No, rather, I felt excited.
‘He’s a crazy person.’
It wasn’t for nothing that the saint emphasized this so many times.
Binglian followed the bastard, summoning up all his power.
The bastard kept going inside.
At that moment, a demon wearing fancy armor blocked his path.
‘It’s a white person.’
Binglian squinted his eyes. Baek In-jang was a top-class demon.
The guide demon’s eyes narrowed. If it were normal, it would have retreated immediately.
However, he was the one chosen by the saint.
At that moment, the white chief looked down at the guy.
Still, he was the one who caught the demons with magic in the Demon Realm. It seemed like he had a plan.
Binglian wondered how the bastard would react.
‘So, what are you going to do?’
At that moment, Galahad slowly raised his hand and-.
“There’s something strange about that guy.”
Pointed to Binglian.
****
For the Empire!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of drums was heard again and again. The sound of drums was the man’s heartbeat. It was a beat that made the blood flow.
The man narrowed his eyes.
Golden waves made of gold rippled endlessly. It was an endlessly spreading army of glory.
For the Empire!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The man pulled out the flag on his back. The flag, made of feathers from birds that could fly a thousand miles, fluttered in the wind.
We raised the flag high. So high that it pierced the sky.
For the Empire-!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The golden waves swelled violently, shaking the earth. Soon the waves began to slowly crash in.
The enemies trembled in fear. The golden waves did not stop before reaching the end of the continent.
The sound of the gun was an instrument, and the scream was a song.
[For the Empire.]
The man pressed his helmet down deeply.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound gradually became fainter.
The golden waves that filled the world faded and scattered like waves crashing against a rock.
And what you see is-.
It was a grayish shade fit for hell.
The golden armor of splendid glory has rusted with time-.
The man was still strong.
Instead of a flag, I just held a lamp.
“For the Empire.”
The pioneers moved forward.
Towards the lord who has been waiting-.
