The Northern Grand Duke’s Crazy Son-in-Law Chapter 95

Episode 95 Purgatory

‘hmm.’

Galahad let out a small sigh.

The four-legged demon who called himself ‘Him’ had crossed the great distance and bound the ruler. It was clear that he was stronger than the ruler.

It was clear what the four-legged demon wanted from Galahad.

Death of the Emperor – If the purpose was clear, it could be handled.

Of course, it wasn’t that simple.

‘Jinghagun.’

Being thrown into a deep abyss and being eaten by sharks wasn’t very pleasant. The pain was even worse than last time.

“It’s definitely more painful to put on makeup than to be buried.”

The four-legged demon looked down at Galahad. The shark retreated. The abyss disappeared. Galahad lay soaking wet among the bushes.

He coughed harshly, and water poured out of his mouth continuously. The fish flopped around. Galahad threw the red goldfish far away from his mouth.

The four-legged demon frowned. Galahad pushed his wet hair back and put the tobacco in his mouth. He snapped his fingers, but no fire came.

I wiggled my finger irritably. After wiggling it about five times, it lit up. It gave off a deep lemon scent.

Thump! Thump! Thump! I could hear the sound of my painful egg beating. What a useless bastard.

The four-legged demon looked down at Galahad with eyes that were slit like a snake. The eyes were truly strange. They looked like jewels, or like the eyes of a poisonous snake.

[Laughing in purgatory. You’re crazy.]

‘Purgatory.’

It was quite a gruesome name.

Being eaten by bugs, burned to ashes, and drowned in the abyss. Having experienced such horrible deaths in succession in an instant, the title of purgatory was not an exaggeration.

but-.

“Should I do more? It’s just wasting my energy.”

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth even higher.

The bushes behind the four-legged horse swayed violently. The trees grew more lush. The size of the forest suddenly increased.

The four-legged demon looked down at Galahad. His eyes were hot as if they were burning.

“Am I doing this for my own good? How can I do this when you, the ruler, are interfering with my path to capture the emperor? If you think about it, it’s your fault. If you had taken charge properly, this wouldn’t have happened.”

It was true that Galahad was annoyed because the four-legged demons couldn’t handle him.

“If you’re going to kill the Emperor, shouldn’t you at least support him? The Emperor isn’t even James next door. This is ridiculous.”

Galahad clicked his tongue openly. Then, fire rose from below. Galahad squinted his eyes in hot pain and shook the cigarette.

“If you were going to do it, why didn’t you do it before lighting the fire at the beginning of the month? That’s inconsiderate.”

The four-legged demon took a step closer. The scent of the green forest filled the air. Its presence grew larger.

[Is that guy the problem?]

‘Just-.’

Galahad muttered softly. To call a high-ranking demon ruler a mere name-.

“Why didn’t you just clean it up a long time ago?”

[Impossible.]

It was the expected answer.

It was shocking enough to have tied up the ruler beyond that distance-.

“You only talk the talk.”

As soon as Galahad finished speaking, insects began to swarm.

This time, it was eaten by bugs. Galahad examined the bugs. They were detailed, down to their tiny hairs and sharp teeth.

This level of mental interference-. Galahad was amazed.

The bugs soon fell off.

“Well, this time the emperor will be Hosang. This is truly a blessing for the empire.”

Galahad shook off the insect’s trail. The four-legged demon’s momentum grew stronger.

Now Galahad was starting to feel dizzy.

It was a huge pressure, but-.

“Don’t be a jerk. You don’t have a choice if it’s not me.”

It was a four-legged demon that came looking for Galahad, who had been pushed north. There was a high possibility that there would be no other choice.

Moreover, no one was more suited to the death of the Emperor than Galahad.

The momentum of the four-legged demon disappeared in an instant. The pressure was no longer felt.

“Now it makes sense.”

[······Swear that you will kill the Emperor.]

“I will kill the emperor.”

The four-legged demon furrowed his brow at the answer that didn’t hesitate an inch.

“I plan on dealing with the Emperor anyway. It’s a kind of partnership. Let’s help each other and live together.”

The four-legged demon slowly extended his hand. His fingers were covered in moss. Flowers bloomed red between the moss. Soon, his fingers, transformed into gorgeous flower buds, approached.

Thump! Thump! Thump! The egg of pain was beating violently. The beating was sharp, as if it was jaw clenching.

The four-legged demon’s gaze turned downward. The egg of pain became quiet in an instant.

A gorgeous flower bud struck Galahad’s forehead. His mind became clear. His vision cleared. Something indescribable took hold.

It wasn’t mana. It was closer to spirit.

Was it a barrier? He couldn’t tell what it was, but Galahad felt it instinctively.

‘A shield to deal with the ruler.’

“If you’re going to give it anyway, wouldn’t it be better to give it sooner? It’s just wasting energy on both of us.”

Galahad raised his head and squinted his eyes.

“You’ve gotten a little smaller.”

The size of the four-legged demon was slightly reduced.

[Kill the Emperor.]

The four-legged demon spoke firmly. His voice was strangely rough.

With him, the four-legged demons retreated.

He seemed to think his business was over.

Now that we have something to deal with the ruler, our goal has been achieved.

but-.

There’s still more to receive.

“for a moment,”

Galahad called out to the retreating four-legged demon. The four-legged demon’s brow furrowed.

[Greed is the root of humanity, but at the same time it is the greatest sin.]

A murderous aura filled Galahad. It seemed that the fact that he was manipulated by Galahad had greatly irritated him.

‘If you’re going to give it, give it nicely. You’re still ticking after giving it to me.’

Galahad clicked his tongue and looked around.

This was a strange space that he called ‘Purgatory’. Even if you died dozens of times, it was only a moment outside. It was possible because it was a mental space.

Sure, you can’t practice magic, but that doesn’t mean it’s useless.

therefore-.

“Can I stay here for a bit? This looks like it could be useful.”

The four-legged demon’s brow furrowed.

Purgatory was a place of endless punishment. Even the demons feared Purgatory. How could such a Purgatory be useful?

[Crazy guy.]

“Am I doing this for my own good? I’m doing this because I need to catch the Emperor. How vulgar.”

[······Vulgar?]

“How much is possible?”

The next question was even more absurd: How possible is purgatory?

[Infinite.]

“Good. I’ll let you know when I’m done.”

The four-legged demon squinted at the brightly smiling Galahad.

No, it actually turned out well.

It was true that he needed it, but he needed to be discouraged.

There was nothing there but a prison of infinite sin, purgatory.

[Idiot.]

*

‘You’re hiding and watching sinisterly.’

Galahad clicked his tongue slightly and looked around.

The surroundings were a void filled with white.

It wasn’t a long time. After all, it was a place that continued from the mental interference. The longer it went on, the more burden it would put on Galahad’s mind.

There was a lot of work to do, so I had to finish it as quickly as possible.

There was only one reason why Galahad demanded purgatory from the four-legged demons.

‘Space magic.’

The reason why spatial magic was so difficult that its formulas were unspeakable was simple.

‘Because it’s the first magic.’

The current magic was a magic that was revised over the generations. The current magic was interpreted and developed by geniuses, ordinary people, and dull people.

The formula had to be simple, because it was modified to suit humans.

In contrast, primitive magic was merely an interpretation of the power used by the demon race.

It was a bit lacking to call it magic. It was magic that humans could not use in the first place.

‘That’s why hellfire was so difficult.’

Galahad was a genius. He could be sure of that. Of course, there was a rather complicated story behind it.

For example, the fact that he had been struggling to learn magic since he was three years old, that he was good at math because he was a science major in his previous life, and that he forcibly raised his understanding through ignorant repetition of magic.

There were quite a few reasons, but in conclusion, he was a genius. I could be sure of that.

Even Galahad suffered through hellfire for several years.

I thought it would be difficult because Hellfire was a high-level magic that couldn’t be ranked, but that wasn’t the case.

Hellfire was originally-.

‘It was an unsolvable problem.’

It was not magic for humans, but magic for demons.

Galahad, who did not know this fact, had been struggling for years for the fire of hell. How much effort had he put into it?

[Didn’t I say no! This isn’t magic! Damn it! Am I some kind of omnipotent being?!]

‘I thought you were just joking around, but it turns out you were just joking around.’

Galahad let out a small sigh.

‘Well, the result is good.’

Finally, Galahad found the answer. No, he created the answer.

It was possible because I didn’t know there was no answer.

Thanks to that, I was able to extract spatial magic from the fox mask. However, that doesn’t mean I completely understood spatial magic.

Spatial magic was different from Hellfire. Hellfire consumed mana terribly, but its power was certain.

In contrast, space magic is-.

‘It is useless in itself.’

The spatial magic used by the fox mask was extremely threatening and powerful, but that was only possible because he was a high-ranking demon.

Galahad, the wizard, could not use it like that. Of course, he could imitate it by putting concentrated mana in his blood, but it was not a method that was immediately possible.

It was necessary to revise it to suit the present.

Break down the formula, understand each piece, assemble it again, calculate it, and break it down again.

Until you fully understand the complex primal magic-.

It was clear that it would take a considerable amount of time.

‘Purgatory-.’

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.

[Crazy guy.]

****

‘You’re late.’

Tom muttered as he looked at the entrance to the Magic Training Center.

It’s already been three days since Galahad entered the Magic Training Center alone. Did something happen inside?

I wanted to go in there and check, but-.

“No one can enter.”

The 7th Battalion Captain Belogrim was guarding the front. Belogrim did not let anyone in.

He blocked the naked captain and soldiers who had not been able to train in the magic realm, as well as the special forces searching for Galahad.

“I will just make sure the captain is safe.”

“Gilbert, I told you not to let anyone in.”

“But it’s already been three days. If something happens inside-.”

“I have orders. Don’t let anyone in.”

Belogrim cut off Gilverton’s words firmly. Gilverton persisted, but Belogrim was firm.

“f*ck! f*ck!”

“Oh my, you little brat.”

Tom also knew how terrible the Magic Training Center was. It was quite dangerous to not come out of the Magic Training Center for three days.

However, if it was something that needed help, Galahad would take the special forces with him. There must have been a good reason why Galahad went alone.

‘It’s hard to imagine the captain being wrong.’

Tom muttered softly. He was a little worried, but he wasn’t worried about Galahad. Who would worry about whom in the first place?

“That’s magic! This is how you do it!”

“what?”

“Like this! Like this!”

Gwen and Damian didn’t seem worried either. Damian was learning magic from Gwen.

Gwen clenched and unclenched her fist, and flames appeared and disappeared in her hand. Damian followed suit, but nothing happened.

“Hey, why isn’t this working? Did you clench your fist properly?”

“I caught it.”

“Then spread it out! With all your might!”

Damien clenched his fist. Of course, that didn’t mean fire would come out of his hand.

“That won’t work.”

“Really? It won’t work?”

Damien’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Gwen smiled softly at him.

“Everyone has different talents. Damian, on the other hand, is good with a sword! He’ll be a great knight!”

“I hate knights.”

Damien’s face turned puffy.

In the North, being a knight was every man’s dream. It was the most honorable profession. Everyone who held a sword wanted to be a knight, but who didn’t like being a knight?

Tom laughed bitterly.

“Tom!”

Gwen called out to Tom with a look of pleading for help.

“Damian, why do you hate knights?”

“Because it’s Gilbutton.”

The answer was clear. Is this how Gilbutton is treated? – Tom smiled slightly.

“Lord Gilbert was a famous man on the front lines. He was known as a great knight who assisted Lady Adrianna.”

“But it’s still Gilbutton.”

Although I explained it gently, Damien’s face was still puffy.

Damian wanted to become a wizard. He even recently took separate lessons from Tom.

It was obvious why Damian wanted to become a wizard.

‘It must be because of the captain.’

Galahad was always confident, dignified, gentlemanly, and easy-going. He had a fatal coolness for a growing boy.

He was also the one who took Damian in. It was clear that Damian wanted to become like Galahad.

Tom thought Damien was closer to Gilbert than to the Captain, but he didn’t have to say it.

Instead, he brought up the story of Gilbert. Gilbert was a famous knight to begin with. He was a quiet and reserved knight. Many people respected him.

Of course, if you talk to him for a long time, it’s a little… no, it’s quite different, but that doesn’t change the fact that Gilburton is a great knight.

“The courage of Gilbert, who always stands in the forefront, is a model of bravery for all knights. Of course, it is a bit crude, but-.”

Tom spoke sincerely about Gilbert. Gilbert was always the one who took the lead. He was rough, but always sincere. Damien’s eyebrows shook.

“Even when Damien was in danger, he was the first to move. He may seem ignorant at first, but that’s because he’s sincere in everything he does.”

Damien’s expression became strange. His furrowed eyebrows gradually relaxed.

When Tom tried to persuade her further-.

“Damn it! Then let’s settle this like knights! Let’s just stick together.”

Gilbutton pulled out his sword and pointed it at Belogrim. Since words didn’t work, he immediately pulled out his sword.

“Good! That’s what it means to be a knight!”

Belogrim quickly received it. The company commanders who had stripped off their uniforms in preparation for the magic training gathered around him. In an instant, a small stadium was created.

“It is a glorious battle of knights!”

A fiery heat rose up.

“Knight- Gilbert-!”

Gilbert shouted bravely and took hold of his sword.

It was an ordinary northern coordination of opinions, but to outsiders it looked like just an ignorant duel.

Things weren’t going well.

“Magic… Teach me magic.”

Demian’s face was filled with urgency. Demian stuttered for a rare moment.

‘This won’t work.’

Tom let out a small sigh.

Then, a huge white falcon appeared, sitting quietly on one side.

It was the falcon of the 1st Battalion Captain Adrianna. It had been like that since the day Galahad entered the Magic Training Center.

I’ve been waiting in that spot for three days.

I remembered Galahad replying to Adrianna’s letter right away.

‘Is it okay?’

Would the hero of the North, Adrianna, even wait for a reply?

****

‘hmm.’

Adrianna’s beautiful forehead furrowed slightly.

Galahad’s replies were usually quite fast. It was so fast that I wondered if he had read the letter and sent it without any hesitation.

But this time, even after four days, there was no answer.

‘Was the content strange?’

Did I say anything that offended you?

Adriana thought seriously about it. It was a letter that had been revised five times. It clearly stated the affiliation and had a purpose. It was a perfect letter according to the principles.

‘Are you busy?’

Galahad was always busy. He was a man who had been continuously achieving great things since he came to the North. But still, there was no reply for four days-.

‘Did it become a burden?’

When I thought about it, I felt like I sent letters too often. That could have been a burden. However, he was a man who would just grab my hand. Compared to that, this was nothing.

‘Or what happened to the falcon?’

Then should I borrow a falcon and send a new letter? I lost the falcon.

Adrianna thought seriously.

If none of the above -.

‘Are you giving up now?’

That could have been it. There was something Adrianna pushed away.

It was definitely something I wanted to do, but I felt strangely frustrated.

At that moment, a hawk flew in through the window. Adrianna’s eyebrows shot up.

However, it wasn’t Adrianna’s falcon.

A red, huge falcon, the Archduke’s. Adrianna’s eyebrows lowered again.

“Aren’t you going to open it?”

Adrianna shook her head at her aide’s question.

If it was a letter that had to be read, it would have been a red letter.

Knock knock, Adrianna quietly looked out the window.

Then suddenly this thought occurred to me.

“Something could have happened… We haven’t caught the ruler yet. The ruler could have targeted Captain Galahad. As the captain, it’s my duty to check.”

Adrianna jumped up from her seat.

‘···Who were you talking to?’

Adrianna’s awkward monologue made her aide Lucienne tilt her head.

****

“Please give me just a little more.”

[How many times is that the case?]

“This is truly the last time.”

[It was the same last time.]

“really.”

The four-legged demon’s face was completely crumpled.
