Episode 96: Believe
‘It’s useful.’
The 7th Battalion Captain, Belogrim, muttered as he watched Gilverton breathing heavily.
Gilbert was a knight in Adrianna’s direct unit. Needless to say, he was excellent at swordsmanship.
More than any other, Gilbert possessed the virtue most necessary for a knight.
“I got the feeling. Let’s do it again.”
Gilbert was stubbornly ignorant. He kept coming at me even after being hit several times. He was actually enjoying it.
‘There are some sprouts.’
Belogrim swung his staff lightly and blocked Gilbutton. The staff and sword intertwined several times.
“Your sword is too crude.”
“yes.”
As it turned out, I ended up teaching Gilbert. Gilbert didn’t refuse to be taught.
At that moment, one side became noisy. The soldiers watching parted, and Adrianna, wearing white armor, appeared.
“Adrianna!”
Adrianna lightly saluted Gilbert.
“What are you doing here, Adrianna?”
Adrianna paused for a moment to catch her breath at Gilbert’s question.
“Contact with Captain Galahad has been lost. We have concluded that there may be a problem since the ruler who was after Galahad has not yet been caught.”
Adrianna’s answer was unhesitating. It was meticulous, as if she had prepared it.
However, the opponent was Gilbutton.
“Oh, are you worried because you haven’t heard from Captain Galahad?”
“······!”
Adrianna, who was momentarily dazed, quickly shook her head.
“No. Captain Galahad, who usually responds very quickly, has been unusually slow this time, so there is a high possibility that something went wrong. In addition, the ruler has not been captured yet. As the captain, I have a duty to check for any unstable factors.”
The answer was quite fast, and the pronunciation was also clear. It was certainly a plausible reason. However, the other person was Gilbutton.
“Aha! So you’re saying that you came in a hurry because you were worried because you hadn’t heard from our captain?”
“······It wasn’t urgent.”
As Gilbutton was about to say something, Belogrim coughed softly and stepped forward.
“Captain Galahad has gone into the Magic Training Center on his own. I don’t know what he’s doing inside, but he has ordered that no one be allowed in.”
Belogreme struck the ground with his staff. Gilverton then took up his sword again.
“Sir Gilbert, why are you pointing your sword at Captain Belogreme?”
“Ah, Captain Belogreim blocked my entry. I was in the middle of an honorable decision as a knight.”
“ah-.”
Adrianna sighed softly at Gilbert’s answer.
“If Captain Galahad did that, there must be a reason.”
Soon Adrianna stood in front of Belogreim.
“Let’s do it the knights’ way!”
Gilbert ran towards Adrianna and-.
Soon I started getting beaten up.
Of course, Adrianna’s sword was still calm. It was just that she exerted a little more force than usual.
‘It’s already been five days, is there really a problem?’
****
The decomposition of magic was quite a difficult and tricky task.
It traces the results of the formula in reverse order, and as the number of overlapping formulas increases, the time it takes increases exponentially.
Needless to say, the primitive magic of space magic was a complex and repetitive task. It required persistent concentration and a huge amount of time.
And it wasn’t just disassembly that was the issue.
After disassembling it, it had to be reassembled to fit Galahad. It was a ‘modification’ to the current way of using magic.
Revision was more difficult and time-consuming than disassembly.
However, Galahad was not that relaxed.
Galahad then thought of the four-legged demon. Even though the creature killed Galahad dozens of times, the time it took was short due to mental interference.
in other words-.
‘It’s a perfect research environment.’
Galahad raised his head.
There were formulas and magic formulas everywhere. The endless spread of formulas was quite impressive, but Galahad was not pleased.
The conclusions reached were not very satisfactory.
‘It is impossible to use it for attack purposes.’
It was difficult to attack by distorting space like a fox mask. This was due to the difference in mana concentration.
The fox mask was a high-ranking demon that could use spatial magic by compressing mana.
Galahad couldn’t handle spatial magic like a fox mask.
It might be possible if you drank the blood of a high-ranking demon, but there were too many variables. Besides, you weren’t here to gain such temporary effects.
If you were going to put in that much effort, hellfire would have been more efficient.
Galahad then sought another way to utilize it.
‘There is no need to attack.’
chamberlain-.
‘If used as an auxiliary role for other magic.’
Galahad was able to cast two magic spells at the same time. What if he moved another magic spell using space magic?

‘That sounds fun.’
Galahad shook off the tobacco with satisfaction.
At that moment, my eyes met with those of the four-legged demon.
“Ah, this is really the last time.”
The eyes, which looked like either a snake or a jewel, narrowed.
[No, it’s over.]
Unlike before, the voice was firm. Galahad clicked his tongue slightly.
“No, didn’t you say infinite first? You clearly said ‘infinite-.’”
The four-legged demon’s face was crumpled and furious. He looked exhausted.
[You have crossed the line of human endurance. You cannot endure any more than this.]
It was a fair point. Even if it was mental interference, it was natural for the mind to wear out.
but-.
“It’s okay. It’s not the first time.”
The four-legged demon’s face crumpled again.
[This is really the last time.]
The four-legged demon took a step back.
****
‘What a tough guy.’
Belogrim looked at Gilverton, who had been knocked unconscious by Adrianna’s sword, and admired him earnestly.
Gilverton, who had not even won against Belogreme, was no match for Adrianna. But Gilverton did not give up. He continued to challenge Adrianna to a duel.
‘What a wonderful article.’
Belogreme turned his gaze. Behind him was a firmly closed gate.
‘It’s been seven days since I came in.’
It hasn’t come out yet. There was a good chance something happened.
At that moment, Gilbert fell forward. A soldier named Tom took care of Gilbert with great care.
Adrianna approached Belogreme. Adrianna’s face was expressionless as always.
I used to laugh a lot when I was young. Belogreme laughed bitterly.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, moderate exercise is essential.”
Belogrim chuckled at the description of Gilbutton as ‘moderate exercise’.
Adrianna stared at the entrance of the Magic Training Center with her characteristically indifferent eyes. When she wasn’t mixing swords with Gilverton, Adrianna was staring at the door.
“Would you like to come in?”
Belogreme asked briefly. Adrianna immediately shook her head.
“It’s okay. If he said he would do it, there must be a reason.”
Adrianna’s answer was calm. Belogreme looked at her face for a moment. Her face from when she was young faintly appeared and disappeared. Her usual expressionless face was put on.
“It’ll be better than those ignorant northerners.”
“yes?”
“He may be unlucky, but isn’t he gentlemanly and handsome?”
“Ah-. My place is the front line.”
Adrianna’s expression hardened in an instant. The answer was firm.
Belogrim laughed bitterly. Maybe it was because he was getting older. His frown had gotten worse.
“miss.”
It was a long time since she had called me by that name. Adrianna stared at Belogreim. Her face looked a little surprised.
“He’s a nice guy.”
“Yes, I know.”
In contrast to the answer, the corners of Adrianna’s eyes lowered. Adrianna turned her head. As always, her expression was indifferent.
“······That’s the problem.”
It was a calm answer. The fragment of Adriana that broke for a moment was a deep self-loathing.
Self-loathing. It was the most incongruous emotion for someone with perfect looks and the greatest honor in the North.
However, Belogreme could understand.
‘A child born while burning his mother.’
It was because of Adrianna’s temper. It wasn’t her fault, but Adrianna didn’t acknowledge him.
Belogrim smiled bitterly and turned his gaze away.
Then suddenly this thought occurred to me.
If it’s Galahad-.
‘I wonder if you will argue with evidence one by one.’
I don’t know about anything else, but he was a guy who was really good at talking.
****
“This is really, really the last time.”
[scram.]
“really.”
The four-legged demon waved his hand without even listening to Galahad.
Oh my-. The space collapsed one by one. The formulas that Galahad had written down were scattered.
“Didn’t you say it was infinite first? You said it was infinite, but what kind of infinity is this?”
[get out!]
The four-legged demon’s voice became sharp for the first time.
Soon my vision began to blur.
[Kill the Emperor.]
Finally, he added as if making a request.
‘How petty.’
Galahad squinted his eyes. His vision gradually returned.
The mind suddenly rushed in. Galahad closed his eyes tightly and calmly accepted the gap in his mind.
It was true that if one was exposed to mental interference for too long, there was a high possibility that one’s mind would break down. Galahad concentrated entirely on his magic, deliberately shutting out all other thoughts.
I just focused completely on calculating and decomposing magic. It wasn’t that hard to focus because magic was interesting and fun.
‘Still, I’m a little dizzy.’
Galahad moved slowly. His body creaked all over. It seemed like more time had passed than he had thought.
Although his physical condition was not good, it was not to the point where he could not move. Thanks to mana, the wizard’s body was strong. All he had to do was turn the mana.
He took out the water bottle and put it in his mouth. As he drank the blood of the demon tribe, the egg of pain kept rippling. Mana was flowing out.
As he moved his mana, his heavy body relaxed. Galahad looked around with a cigarette in his mouth.
The ash was lighter than before I entered. It seemed like the four-legged demon had used the magic mirror on this side.
‘I guess I’ll have to fill it up again.’
He snapped his fingers and lit the cigarette. The scent of lemons hit Galahad’s mind.
Hunger was welling up in him, and his body was in pain, but Galahad was focused on the enlightenment he had gained within.
The goals I had set were complete. The theory of revising spatial magic and utilizing it was established.
‘It’s sore.’
Galahad muttered softly and ran his hand through his disheveled hair. He brushed the ash off his clothes and straightened his collar.
‘Has it been about three days?’
There was no exact estimate of how much time had passed.
I continued to turn my mana. Then, I heard a loud noise from far away. It was from the door.
‘I told you to wait a moment. You’re impatient.’
Galahad straightened his clothes and headed for the door. His business here was over anyway.
As I approached the door, I heard a conversation.
“Aren’t you worried about Lady Adrianna too? Get out of here!”
‘Is Adrianna here?’
Galahad squinted his eyes. Why was Adrianna, who was supposed to be guarding the meeting area with the 1st Battalion, here-?
“It’s already been ten days. Ten days!”
At Gilbert’s shout, Galahad realized that more time had passed than he had expected.
It was a bit strange. No matter how well the wizard’s body recovered, he was in isolation for ten days and still felt fine.
The cause was obvious.
‘Because it’s a devil’s paradise-.’
It wasn’t for nothing that I felt like I was back home every time I entered the Demon Realm.
at that time-.
“I knew you were going to run away.”
A familiar voice came from behind. It was a voice with a faint hint of laughter. The fox mask was nodding its head.
“I was wondering what to call you, but you just showed up.”
Galahad said, raising the corners of his lips.
“Are you bluffing? Did you think I wouldn’t be able to find you if you hid here? Or were you planning to call in a forgotten being to stop me?”
The fox mask spoke in an irritated voice. It seemed as if Galahad had hidden the fact that he was locked up in the Magic Training Center.
There was no need to explain the details.
but-.
‘There’s no need to arouse interest.’
He was a man whose habit was ‘fun’. The reason he withdrew his fox mask was because Galahad’s hellfire had piqued his interest.
If the way to deal with the four-legged demon was ’emperor’, the fox mask was ‘interest’.
The way to pique the interest of the fox mask was simple.
Galahad took a deep breath and slowly gathered his mana.
“Are you trying to be a dog? That’s not fun.”
The fox mask grumbled softly. However, it didn’t show any particular reaction. Rather, it seemed to be waiting.
Galahad took his time and organized the formulas.
Although he had never actually used it, he had already completed the theory. Galahad was confident of success.
‘It’s sore.’
Galahad moved his mana leisurely, as if he were savoring a fine meal.
In theory it was perfect, but putting it into practice was another matter of fun.
‘Okay.’
Galahad snapped both his fingers at the fox mask at the same time. An ice pick appeared in front of Galahad.
“Is it magic again?”
There was a sharp irritation in the fox mask’s voice. It was a waste of time waiting. The moment the fox mask clicked its tongue slightly and focused its eyes-.
The ice pick disappeared from its place. The fox mask tilted its head at him.
‘It was definitely an ice pick just now-.’
At that moment, I felt a chill from my left. The fox mask turned its head and doubted its eyes.
The missing ice pick was piercing the earlobe of the fox mask.
The power of the fox mask could not be broken.
However, as a result, the fox mask really sparked interest.
‘It’s my power, isn’t it?’
The ice pick that suddenly appeared – that was the power of the fox mask. No, it was magic. Magic derived from the power of the fox mask.
‘Was he the first wizard?’
No, the first wizard was clearly a failure. It wasn’t called a failure for nothing.
Since I’ve been here all along, it’s said that I alone created the power of nothingness through magic.
‘That he created the hellfire himself-.’
The fox mask’s head suddenly turned around.
Galahad was smiling faintly.
“What are you.”
The real voice of the fox mask came out. It was a voice that was as gentle as a fox.
To that question filled with astonishment, Galahad-.
“This is Galahad, the captain of the special forces.”
I took my time and shook off the cigarette.
“So, are you starting to get interested now?”
At the leisurely question, the fox mask laughed, “Huh-!”
Are you interested? It seemed as if he still didn’t know what he had done. What he had done was not just interesting.
This-.
“You are lovely.”
The fox mask raised the corners of its mouth. The bastard raised the corners of his mouth as if he knew it would happen.
The fox mask nodded at him.
“I will take care of the ruler.”
The ruler was an important piece of equipment, but not as much as that weirdo.
‘I’ll listen to your nagging.’
Galahad was more interesting than all those annoyances added together.
At that, Galahad squinted his eyes.
“What does that mean?”
The voice was strangely sharp. It was as if he had been insulted.
The fox mask started to feel uneasy due to the rather strong reaction.
The moment I tried to explain, I thought I had misunderstood.
Galahad pointed to the fox mask at the beginning of the year.
And as a warning-.
“He’s mine.”
He spoke in a subdued voice.
The high-ranking demon ruler said that it was his! It was a remark so interesting that it was dizzying. The fox mask couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.
“You are really lovely.”
“I’m sorry, but I have a fiance. I can’t accept it.”
The fox mask laughed again at the firm rejection. Being rejected by a man – it was the first time in her life that she had experienced something like that.
“Even like this?”
The fox mask asked as it took off its mask.
There was confidence in that voice.
“It’s beautiful.”
Galahad nodded obediently.
but-.
“But she’s uglier than Adriana.”
The fox mask’s beautiful forehead was wrinkled.
****
“You have to go in!”
“Right, I need to check it now. It’s been too long.”
“Bro bro!”
Requests poured in from all sides. Even the 7th Battalion Commander Belogreim joined in.
It couldn’t be helped. Today was the tenth day since I moved in.
It would have gone in originally.
but-.
[She didn’t believe me.]
…he was truly an incredible man.
“Captain Galahad told us not to let anyone in. There must be a reason.”
Adrianna readjusted her grip on the sword and spoke in a firm voice.
Everyone took a step back.
at that time-.
Creak. The gate opened with a loud noise. Everyone’s eyes turned to it.
‘You’re finally out.’
Her head almost turned around. Adriana braced her neck and slowly turned around.
Beyond the open door, as expected, was Galahad.
However, Galahad’s appearance was quite different from usual. There was a dark darkness under his eyes, and his cheeks were dry.
the problem is-.
Next to Galahad-.
“Oh my, everyone is staring. It’s a bit embarrassing to see my bare face.”
There was a beautiful woman wearing colorful makeup.
[She didn’t believe me.]
‘·········!’
Adrianna’s eyebrows twitched more violently than ever.
