The Northern Grand Duke’s Crazy Son-in-Law Chapter 78

< Escape >

‘this-.’

A tiny blade of grass sprouted in the gray plain. The tiny blade of grass grew and became a bush. The bush grew thick and turned into a tree.

Countless leaves fell from the tree.

The leaves became a blade of grass again, and then a bush, and then a tree.

A forest soon formed.

‘How splendid.’

Galahad frowned.

I couldn’t feel any mana.

It felt like I was entering a tiger’s den to avoid a fox.

However, the demon who called himself ‘him’ had a clear desire for Galahad.

Death of the Emperor-.

If the purpose was clear, it could be predicted.

The goal was quite risky, but it was better than not knowing at all.

‘Who is that?’

Galahad identified the ruler.

The once leisurely ruler’s face was wrinkled. The emotion on his face was-.

‘You’re scared.’

The high-ranking demons are afraid.

The lush bushes parted, and the thing appeared.

It had four legs like a deer. They were all long and white and belonged to a woman.

Her face was that of a saintly beauty with a faint smile.

It was an appearance that suited the name angel better than that of a demon.

The eyes of the four-legged demon moved. At the end of them was Adrianna, panting. The pure white aura was beyond burning and was exploding. It seemed to be the reason why the four-legged demon had appeared.

It seemed that Adrianna had already surpassed her capacity to handle it. Her temper would not stop.

It burned more violently, as if Adrianna were fuel.

‘Cut down the power a bit.’

The four-legged demon’s gaze turned to Galahad. Galahad’s vision blinked.

Before he knew it, Galahad was falling from a thousand-foot cliff. As if that wasn’t enough, passing eagles pecked at him and devoured him.

To him Galahad-.

“Didn’t I tell you? This kind of thing is useless.”

He clicked his tongue slightly.

My vision became distorted. I was in the forest again.

[You are crazy.]

Galahad clicked his tongue slightly at the candid assessment.

At that moment, the ruler swung his staff around. A faint smile appeared on his face.

“What should be in the pit dares to appear in my territory?”

The ruler looked at the four-legged demon and grumbled. His voice trembled slightly.

‘A pit?’

Galahad’s eyes narrowed at the new word.

Most of the demons that Galahad had captured were protected against mental interference.

The demons were the natural enemies and enemies of magicians. It was rare for a magician to be able to cast magic on the demons. So the target of defense could not be a magician.

‘Is the abyss something like exile?’

Galahad remembered his new clue.

‘It’s not easy.’

Was it because there were two high-ranking demons? I couldn’t even breathe freely.

It was quiet all around, as if the world was watching.

At that moment, the four-legged demon’s gaze turned to the ruler. The ruler’s body trembled slightly.

The ruler held out his golden staff and his expression hardened.

“What’s here is an illusion anyway. What can you do?”

The ruler swung his golden staff wildly, grumbling.

The bushes split and the trees broke. Gray filled the void. Gray spread like a worm, slowly destroying the forest.

Within a matter of minutes, half the forest was gone.

[That’s right. I’m not here.]

A soft voice, like a nap on a warm day, tickled his mind. The four-legged demon’s mouth did not move.

“Then get out of here, you crownless thing.”

The ruler waved the golden staff again. He seemed to be very fond of it.

The gray spread further, pushing the forest further out.

‘Are you being pushed?’

Galahad squinted his eyes and looked up at the four-legged demon.

At that moment, the four-legged demon tilted his head. Green leaves spread from his hair.

[however-.]

The fresh scent of grass wafted again.

[Are you here?]

“what-.”

The ruler trailed off.

The ruler’s eyes widened. His head snapped down. His breathing became more labored. His shoulders trembled slightly.

‘It’s pretty rough.’

He must have died dozens of times inside. Galahad sympathized slightly.

The four-legged demon’s legs moved gracefully. It advanced one by one, as if maintaining balance on all four legs.

[I’ll ask again.]

As the four-legged demon approached, the ruler’s trembling intensified.

The ruler’s knees buckled. His eyes turned red. A long stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

[Are you here?]

The four-legged demon looked down at the ruler.

Just before he was about to kneel in worship, the ruler stopped.

The ruler, whose mouth was agape, spat something out.

It was a red lump of flesh, chewed off my lip and spat out.

The ruler’s eyes have returned.

The bastard opened his mouth slowly. Blood flowed out roughly from between his cut lips.

‘What a pity.’

Galahad clicked his tongue slightly.

“This is my territory.”

The ruler stood up, leaning on the golden staff. His momentum was stronger than before.

The four-legged demon took a step back.

[This child is my servant.]

The four-legged demon looked at Galahad and said, “A paper?” What a pity to hear that. Galahad frowned.

“This is something that a man in a pit of despair would desire. I must add it to my collection.”

The ruler spoke, caressing his golden club.

There was a sincere desire in that voice.

‘Being popular is also a bad thing.’

Galahad clicked his tongue slightly at the gaze of the two demons.

The ruler’s momentum grew increasingly violent. The eyes he was looking at Galahad were unusual.

The appearance of the four-legged demon seemed to have provoked him further.

The four-legged demon opened his mouth for the first time when he saw Galahad.

[Kill the Emperor.]

I felt that it was not a simple order.

Galahad nodded.

The ruler swung his golden staff. The forest scattered again. Gray tore at green. The demons took a step forward.

A sense of crisis has arisen.

The four-legged demon looked at him-.

[Where are you?]

Moved his mouth.

There was no more forest. The ruler’s movements simply stopped. His eyes turned red.

The ruler froze without even blinking.

The four-legged demons also became quiet.

Then Galahad understood the situation.

‘All it does is tie you up.’

The ruler was a high-ranking demon who made Adrianna go berserk and Galahad’s hair stand on end just by appearing.

Binding such a high-ranking demon with mental interference-.

‘That’s amazing.’

However, a problem still remained.

“What about the other guys?”

The city’s demons and humans were slowly moving. The enemy’s gazes were focused on Galahad.

The four-legged demon did not answer.

Galahad clicked his tongue slightly and looked at Adrianna first. The stupid helmet was lying around beside him.

Adrianna’s condition was not good. The pure white aura now burned violently as if fuel had been poured on it. Adrianna’s face was filled with blue veins.

Following the ruler, a four-legged demon appeared, so it seemed like he couldn’t control his power.

The solution was simple.

It was a problem that could be solved by completely killing the power.

Adrianna would know him too, but she didn’t.

It was obvious why he was holding on even though his body was burning.

‘I guess it’s a sense of responsibility to protect this place.’

She was truly a foolish woman.

Galahad clicked his tongue and stood before Adrianna.

“Put the aura in.”

Reddened eyes with burst blood vessels stared at Galahad.

His eyes were full of ignorant stubbornness.

“Are you planning to swing that once and die? It’s a power you can’t handle yet.”

Adrianna’s eyes blinked.

‘I guess words won’t do the trick.’

There was no time to persuade.

Galahad clicked his tongue slightly and strode forward.

“······!”

Adrianna’s eyes widened.

Galahad took another step forward without stopping.

A pure white aura shimmered right in front of Galahad’s face.

It would melt the moment it touched him. It was certain that he would turn to dust like the demon cut by Adrianna’s sword.

However, Galahad was sure that Adrianna would not do so.

He took one step further.

Adrianna let out a small gasp. Blood trickled down the corner of her mouth, as if she had bitten her lip. Her aura shrank slightly.

Galahad took another step forward.

A pure white aura swept across him. His bangs were scattered with dust.

The auror quickly disappeared. Adrianna’s face was covered in sweat.

“You have really nice skin.”

“Are you crazy?!”

Adrianna was the first to raise her voice.

“Why would you do something so reckless-!”

“I trusted you. Didn’t you trust me too?”

Adrianna gaped. She was so angry, but it seemed like she had no words to say.

Galahad picked up the rolling helmet and offered it to Adrianna.

“There’s no time. I’ll leave the rest of the team to you.”

Galahad headed straight for the ruler.

The ruler was still frozen in the pose where he had been sticking out his staff.

The ruler’s appearance was somewhat comical. He looked like a child wearing a crown larger than his head and holding a golden staff.

However, even though he was subdued, the aura he gave off was so strong that it made my skin sting.

The ruler stared at Galahad, only moving his eyes.

Galahad snapped his fingers for a moment, considering whether to try to kill the bastard.

He shook his head. He’ll wake up right away.

After finishing his calculations, Galahad took out an empty water bottle from his bosom. He wiped the opening of the bottle clean.

The ruler’s gaze was fixed on Galahad, seemingly curious about what he was doing.

At that Galahad smiled-.

“Well, can you try putting some force into your lips?”

I placed the canteen under the bastard’s chin, trying my best not to touch it.

Blood dripping from the ruler’s torn lips was collected in a water bottle. The ruler’s pupils shook slightly.

Blood began to slowly rise into the water bottle.

As they were holding the blood, the noise behind them grew louder. The demons and humans were climbing the stairs, clearly showing their hostility. The stairs were narrow, so even though a few people fell, they ran wildly.

“That’s too bad.”

As Galahad was packing his water bottle, he noticed the bastard’s golden staff.

It was a treasured possession, and it was covered in marks. The ruler was holding the end of a golden staff.

‘If I pull it, it will come off?’

Galahad watched for a moment and then pulled lightly. The golden rod popped out.

The ruler’s body shook violently. His pupils dilated and then shrank.

Patduk – A thin, bloody sound was heard.

“half-.”

The ruler’s mouth moved just a little bit. It was probably a threat.

“Sorry, but there are a lot of guys after me. The waiting line is a bit long.”

Galahad waved his golden staff and water flask and turned around without a second thought.

Everyone was awake except Gwen, as if Adrianna had woken them up.

“Youngest? Am I losing consciousness? I’m clearly holding a sword… Huh? Something terrible… What was it?”

Gilbutton muttered uneasily, stroking my hair.

“I slept well.”

Damian stretched and liked it. Tom took care of the unconscious Gwen.

“Okay, let’s go now.”

Galahad shook the water bottle. It wasn’t much. Just enough to sip once.

This should be enough.

Kwaaang! The wall collapsed with a heavy sound.

A crowd of demons and humans came running. It was a truly horrifying sight.

The demon in the lead opened its mouth wide. A sharp ice pick was swung at its mouth. The demon vomited blood and fell backwards. Three demons rushed in.

It was a terrible demon tidal wave.

“Oh, if I get caught, I’ll be a thief.”

Galahad spoke leisurely.

****

“Phew-.”

Adrianna drew her sword, exhaling hot breath. The demon with a hole in its chest let out a scream of pain.

The dust spread. The demon tribe collapsed in an instant. As if it had been waiting, another demon tribe filled its place.

The burning temper of Mare was burning more violently than ever. It was difficult to even press him down.

It was because of the high-ranking demons I encountered.

The high-ranking demons called the rulers were also a problem.

‘What on earth is that demon?’

The demon that appeared later was not just a high-ranking demon.

The moment they met, Adriana couldn’t control her temper.

The nature of burning mana gained more momentum as it burned even Adrianna.

If it weren’t for Galahad, temper would have consumed Adrianna.

An aura that she couldn’t control suddenly rose up. Her arm felt hot as if it was burning. Adriana drew her sword in a hurry.

A long, pure white line was drawn across the group of demons that were following them.

The demons and humans nearing the tenth disappeared into dust.

She almost dropped her sword. Adrianna gritted her teeth and desperately suppressed her temper. The aura barely went out.

“This way.”

At that moment, a calm voice was heard. It was Galahad, the leader.

Gilbert was on the left, a little boy named Damien was on the right, and Adrianna was behind.

Galahad was in the lead. It was an absurd formation for a wizard to be in the lead.

However, the condition of others was very bad.

Gilverton, who was eaten by Damian, has not yet fully recovered his Aura, and Adrianna has not been able to control her Aura.

That is why Galahad was in the lead.

Even though he was Galahad, a wizard was leading the way. I couldn’t accept it, but Galahad insisted that it was an order.

at that time-.

“Kyahaaaaak!”

The demons fell from above. They looked more like demons than demons.

Galahad snapped his fingers upward. Sparks flew. In an instant, a brilliant lightning flower bloomed toward them.

The demon’s body shook violently. His eyes opened for a moment.

Pfft-. The demons that had fallen to the ground paused for a moment. It was only a moment, but to Adrianna it felt like a very long time.

The demon’s neck rose into the air. Thick ash was sprayed like blood.

Meanwhile, Galahad drove an ice pick into the shoulder of the demon blocking his way.

The demon hesitated – and this time Gilbert cut off the demon’s head.

It was surprisingly efficient.

‘······Is this a wizard?’

There was no more talk about the leader.

Demons and humans poured in from all directions. The moment they slowed down even a little, they would definitely be caught by those behind them.

There was no more conversation. There was only heavy breathing, screams, and cheers from the demons.

Colorless, enemies everywhere – I felt like I was being chased throughout the city.

I couldn’t even tell where the road was.

They just ran, looking at Galahad’s back.

How long did you run like that?

“Let’s bring the rear inside. Damien and Gilverton fill it a little bigger.”

A crude order came down from the front.

No one questioned it.

“Have you calmed down a bit?”

Galahad looked at Adrianna and asked.

“Yes, it’s okay.”

“Gather your strength to swing it once.”

Adrianna nodded.

At that moment, a large gate appeared in the distance. It was the gate through which we entered the city.

There were many monsters and demons around there.

There were various types of monsters, from the giant monsters with multiple necks that I had seen when I first entered, to demons in neat attire.

The common denominator was that they all looked this way and showed hostility.

“Gilbert and Damien are behind you.”

Galahad gave the order as if he had expected it.

“Knight- Gilbutton!”

“Just Damien.”

The positions changed again. Adriana stepped forward, holding her sword firmly.

“You have to handle that.”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

Adrianna nodded and readjusted her sword.

I was a little sullen while running. My temper was still raging, but I managed to do something about it once in a while.

No, I had to.

Adrianna readjusted her sword.

At that moment, Galahad whispered from the side.

“Don’t think about it.”

Adriana concentrated without asking.

“Imagine burning it.”

Instead of cutting it, burn it.

I couldn’t understand.

Adrianna didn’t try to understand him.

“yes.”

I just believed.

*

‘Will it work?’

Galahad narrowed his eyes and examined Adrianna.

This explained Adrianna’s temperament that Galahad had discovered.

Since Galahad wasn’t clear either, there wasn’t much explanation he could give.

I was half in doubt.

If Adrianna can handle half of it, I’ll be able to push the rest out somehow.

At that moment, Adrianna’s aura flared up.

It seemed like I was being eaten by Aura again, and the moment I was about to step forward-.

Adrianna swung her sword.

A thick white fire followed him.

Adrianna’s black was honest and noble.

In contrast, there was no black order that Adrianna had spread at the moment.

It was closer to fire than swordsmanship.

A very strong fire that doesn’t stop before burning everything.

Pure white fire engulfed the demons and beasts around the gate.

Each time the fire consumed one, it grew larger in size.

The demons were firewood. Excellent firewood, completely dried at that.

The fire only disappeared after it had consumed all the demons.

The place where the demons, who were over thirty years old, had been was now covered with dust.

‘That’s ridiculous.’

Even though Galahad explained what he had learned about Adrianna’s nature, he applied it like that.

‘You can do this.’

As expected, it was a sword that would burn the king of the demon tribe.

“I think I might fall in love with you.”

Adrianna let out a ragged breath. Her stupid helmet rattled. Beneath it, her blond hair was tangled.

The stance that had always been firm was shaken.

It seemed like it had reached its limit.

Adrianna leaned on her sword.

Galahad supported Adrianna.

“Are you okay?”

Dalgrak. Adriana nodded, not even having the strength to speak.

Gilverton swung his sword from behind. Tom, who had Gwen on his back, swung his shield back and forth, pushing the demon away. Damian’s ashen aura cut down the demon.

Eventually they arrived at the main gate.

Galahad pushed Adrianna in. Tom followed, carrying Damian and Gwen.

Gilbert, the last one to pass through the gate, pushed the door hard.

My feet were spinning as if I had no strength.

“The knight is so weak.”

Galahad clicked his tongue slightly and sat next to Gilbert.

“I will help you too.”

Tom followed suit.

Damian held his sword and cut down the demons coming through the gate.

Red blood spurted out.

The chaos continued for a while.

yet-.

thud!!

The front door was firmly closed.

“It was a close success.”

Galahad wiped his forehead and smiled.

“What is that?”

Adrianna turned her head at Gilbert’s question.

A familiar object was in Galahad’s hand.

It was a long, golden rod.

‘Where have I seen that-.’

Adrianna, squinting, realized the identity.

It was the staff the ruler was holding.

Why did you bring that?

No, when on earth-.

“Ah, it’s a collectible.”

Galahad smiled coolly, brandishing his golden staff.

Adrianna coughed three times in a row.
