Episode 99: Delicious
The Archduke was always where he was.
Theodore bowed his head deeply and slowly reported.
“We need more soldiers for the construction of the magic tower you ordered. If we need to speed things up-.”
“Matap?”
At the Archduke’s soft question, Theodore bowed his head deeper.
“I ordered the magic tower-?”
The staff trembled slightly at the rough voice that sounded like the cry of a wild beast. Theodore moved his heavy lips desperately.
“Captain Galahad gave his permission-.”
“hmm.”
The Archduke’s roar was harsher and more threatening than that of a wild beast. The staff trembled.
As the breathing became ragged among the few weaker members of the staff, the Grand Duke nodded.
If it had been just a little later, some of the staff would have fainted. Theodore felt a little relieved.
A large white falcon flew in through the window. The Archduke’s eyes grew fierce. His face was scrunched up in a wicked grimace, but Theodore knew that it was the Archduke’s smile.
The hawk handed the letter to the Archduke. The Archduke opened the envelope carefully.
The Archduke’s eyes were crumpled. His breathing was ragged. It wasn’t a smile, it was anger.
‘······anger?’
The Grand Duke was furious at Adrianna’s letter? The atmosphere became heavy in an instant. The staff trembled again.
At that moment, the Archduke’s mouth opened.
“All units are ordered to assemble at the 6th Battalion.”
An order to all units-. It was a big order that the Grand Duke had given after a long time. What on earth was going on-. Although they were curious, the staff took action anyway.
The Archduke crumpled up the letter. Theodore, who was closest, was able to glimpse its contents.
[The high-ranking demons who moved into the 6th generation are said to be having a housewarming party. It’s been 10 days since the housewarming party······.]
Theodore’s mouth fell open.
It was definitely Galahad’s. If not him, who else would dare send such a crazy letter to the Archduke?
‘A high-ranking demon in the 6th Battalion-.’
The 6th Battalion was currently without a commander.
Theodore, who was moving hurriedly, felt a strange feeling.
The actions of one of the staff members were subtle.
somewhere-.
It was awkward.
Theodore’s eyes sank deeply.

“Are you really planning to go alone?”
Galahad nodded to Giselle’s question while wearing the road fox mask.
“Why? Oh, I don’t intend to help you.”
“Because that’s the most likely. And I never asked for help.”
The fox mask laughed. It was a strange laugh.
Galahad took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He put the water bottle inside on his waist, ready to take it out at any time.
“I have a favor to ask.”
“I say again, I have no intention of helping you.”
“I know. It’s more fun that way-. Right?”
“Oh my, I got caught.”
Galahad clicked his tongue slightly and snapped his fingers. The cigarette lit. The scent of lemon wafted through the air.
The walls of the 6th Battalion were thick and huge. The walls were filled with soldiers standing there blankly. The soldiers had no expression or movement.
It almost looked like part of a castle wall.
Chuck-. The indifferent eyes on the wall simultaneously turned to Galahad.
Something jumped from the wall. Thud. Red blood spurted out. It was a soldier. The soldier, with his head down, looked up at Galahad. He could sense something behind the cloudy eyes.
“You have a good cooking skill.”
Galahad waved his golden staff at him. The soldier’s mouth fell open. He snapped his fingers.
Thud-. The ice pick was deeply embedded in the soldier’s neck. Only then did the soldier’s eyes close.
Squeak-.
The gate opened with a terrible noise. The accumulated snow was pushed away. Soon, beyond the wide-open gate, it was dark.
The darkness was filled with eyes. Soldiers, demons, even beasts – various eyes stared at Galahad.
‘It would have been hard if we had gone straight ahead.’
There were more of them than expected. It seemed like they had taken over the 6th Battalion quite cleanly.
“So, what do you want?”
The fox mask approached briskly. Even though it was close, there was no scent. Not even the slightest scent.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Please don’t come out.”
As if he hadn’t expected it, the fox mask’s nod suddenly stopped.
The power of the fox mask was immeasurable. Her personality was difficult. It was a variable. The principle was to exclude variables that could not be controlled.
Within seconds, the fox mask nodded.
“That’s funny. Okay. I swear to Mana that I will never come out.”
The fox mask spoke, waving its hands. Something was rippling around it.
‘The Oath of Mana.’
It was a story that became history. Long ago, wizards swore by mana.

It was a tradition that disappeared as people became more reliant on magic stones and magic tools than on mana.
“You’re old.”
The fox mask’s movements suddenly stopped. Galahad laughed and walked away.
As he entered the castle, all eyes followed Galahad. Galahad straightened his posture by putting strength into his waist.
“Nice to meet you. I am Special Forces Captain Galahad.”
As I smiled and shook the golden staff, their eyes crinkled at the same time.
‘What incredible control.’
It wouldn’t be mental interference. It would be impossible for even he to control all of those numbers by mental interference. In addition, their behavior was crude. Like puppets.
The men surrounding the area split apart. A strange path was created, consisting of demons, beasts, and humans. It was a path so small that you could feel the breath of both sides as you walked.
Galahad clicked his tongue slightly and walked away.
“You know what?”
A fox masked voice was heard from behind. Galahad looked straight ahead and questioned.
“What are you talking about?”
“The demons have no emotions.”
The fox mask spoke out of the blue. It was something I already knew.
The demon didn’t feel any fear even when an ice pick was stuck in his neck. He would show his teeth right before snapping his neck.
“But when your blood gets thicker… Ah, as they say, when you become a high-ranking demon, you develop emotions.”
“Do you feel emotions?”
It was an interesting topic, but Galahad just nodded his head as if he was not interested. In fact, he was busy looking around.
“Yes, the ruler is possessive. The ruler wants to have whatever he likes. Humans, demons, treasures.”
“Right.”
Galahad nodded. I wondered why he was so obsessed, but it was because of his possessiveness.
‘Is the fox mask interesting?’
The fox mask approached briskly. It nodded its head and asked.
“What kind of feelings do you think will remain if you become a demon?”
There was excitement in his voice. What could be so exciting? – Galahad clicked his tongue slightly.
“There’s no way I’ll become a demon. It’s a useless worry.”
“But you never know, right?”
The fox mask whispered. It seemed as if it wouldn’t back down unless you answered.
‘It’s annoying.’
“If I have one last emotion left-.”
Galahad’s worries were short-lived.
Since there was only one anyway-.
“I think I’ll be passionate about studying.”
The fox mask’s head suddenly stopped at Galahad’s confident answer.
Galahad walked on without paying attention. The faint breaths from all around continued to tickle him.
The place the path led to, consisting of expressionless humans and demons, was somewhat unexpected.
‘It wasn’t my nature.’
Galahad guessed that the guy would be in the inner castle. The inner castle is more prone to Mercury-.
However, the place we were guided to was actually on the outer side.
‘Is it a warehouse?’
It was close to the back gate, surrounded by collapsed warehouses. It was a perfect location that was easy to access, but at the same time did not attract the attention of others.
please-.
‘It looks like the information agency is not there.’
Galahad’s eyes deepened. This was not something he had saved right away.
‘The 6th Battalion was trying something.’
Squeak.
The door to the warehouse opened roughly. The inside of the door was as dark as a pit. There was a demon in that small doorway. It was an exterior that I absolutely did not want to enter.
‘hmm-.’
Galahad looked up at the sky for a moment and then headed for the door.
Inside, there was a deep darkness. A faint breathing sound could be heard from all directions at the same time. It felt like the entire room was breathing.
‘I feel uneasy.’
Galahad clicked his tongue slightly and turned his mana. Thump! Thump! Thump! The egg of pain beat vigorously. As if it sensed the seriousness of the situation, it kept spewing out mana.
Within seconds, the concentrated mana began to circulate tightly.
The inside of the warehouse was more crowded than outside. The demons were packed tightly together. Eyes followed every step. Many heads moved to follow Galahad.
“It’s a bit burdensome.”
Galahad muttered a joke and headed inside.
At the end of the warehouse, there was a crowd of people. Upon closer inspection, I saw that they were strangely made chairs, crumpled together as if they were people.
A young child wearing a crooked crown with a hollow middle.
“bloke.”
The ruler smiled broadly at Galahad.
At the same time, the air in the room became heavy. It was as if the air had become heavy and pressed down on my shoulders. It was truly a huge presence.
“high.”
At the same time, the pressure grew heavier. For a moment, Galahad staggered. His knees bent on their own.
It felt like my instincts, not my mind, were submitting to him. It was a shocking power, but-.
‘It’s less than last time.’
It was a natural story. It was a warehouse full of demons, but it wasn’t a demon realm.
It was natural that the ruler’s power weakened.
Suddenly something rose from beneath his mind. It was the scent of the green forest. The refreshing greenness woke Galahad’s mind.
‘This was it.’
It was clear that the mysterious power that the four-legged demon had given Galahad when he touched his forehead was there.
Not the power of the demon realm, but the power of the weakened ruler, and even an unknown power given by the four-legged demon tribe-. The knees that had been bending on their own stopped.
‘hmm-.’
The power of the ruler was a power to subdue. As the fox mask said, when those below were unable to resist, they exerted overwhelming power.
For example, you could tell just by looking at the current 6th Battalion.
However, things are a little different now.
Although his knees were a little sore, Galahad did not give in. He was able to withstand the ruler’s power.
There was also a water bottle containing the ruler’s blood.
‘Then the story changes.’
at that time-.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
The egg of pain began to beat violently. The egg of pain was full of heat. The rough impulse came over as it was.
The Egg of Pain was thoroughly strong, weak, weak, strong.
That egg of pain reacts like that-.
‘It’s worth doing.’
Galahad’s eyes sank deeply.
At that moment, the ruler stood up from his seat.
Galahad bowed slowly.
*
“Cheeky thing,”
The ruler twisted the corners of his mouth as he looked at the prostrate Galahad.
Even though I concentrated quite a bit of force, the bastard held up quite well. To be honest, I was a little surprised.
However, that was only a moment.
As the ruler concentrated his power, the bastard fell apart.
Finally, the bastard bowed down before the ruler.
He was not a knight. He was even a wizard. How could a servant of the Demon Race defy his master, the ruler?
It wasn’t the guy the ruler was wary of.
It was a forgotten being that came out from behind him. It was uncomfortable when a forgotten being that should have been in the pit showed up like last time. The ruler did not open the magic realm.
In the first place, there was no need for a magic mirror to deal with a wizard.
“late.”
The ruler looked at the fox mask behind the bastard and muttered.
“You’re late? That’s too bad. It’s been exactly 10 days, right?”
“Tsk, if the luggage is late, then it is late. I almost carried out the plan.”
For a moment, the air became still. The fox mask stared at the ruler.
“You didn’t do it, did you?”
The fox mask asked in a hushed voice. The ruler twitched the corners of his lips at that.
“If you had been just a little bit later, it would have opened.”
The ruler stared at the fox mask intently. He had never liked it before. How dare it reach out to him.
“Ha, at least that’s a relief. I didn’t open it.”
The fox mask raised both hands and took a step back. The ruler raised the corners of his mouth.
The ruler’s gaze turned to the man again. People with expressionless faces fell flat before the ruler. The ruler stepped on him like steps and advanced.
“You dare take my baton? You act like the disciple of that damn traitor.”
I could smell a f*cking traitor on him, but I didn’t completely believe him when he said he was my disciple. Humans were always cunning creatures who lied.
But the moment the forgotten being came to his aid, the ruler was sure.
That bastard is the disciple of a f*cking traitor.
“You learned a great lesson from that damn traitor. You learned a great lesson.”
The ruler looked down at the man. The man lay flat on his stomach, not moving at all.
“Do you know why I asked you to come here alive?”
The corners of the ruler’s mouth twisted.
“You are bait. Bait to bring back the traitor who dared to take my jewels.”
The ruler felt the empty space of his crown. The place where the jewel should have been was empty. How long had he been searching?
The corners of the ruler’s mouth twisted fiercely. Through him, I will summon the damned traitor and fill the crown again.
It was time to reclaim the lost power and glory.
“A disciple is a disciple. You covet my things just like me.”
The ruler grabbed the baton the man held out. The corners of his mouth went up at the cool sensation.
“How dare you take the key. I will punish you with every pain you can experience. Be glad that you can take my punishment.”
The ruler who was pulling the baton squinted his eyes. The baton didn’t move at all. The bastard’s hand was holding the end of the baton.
‘Was the power too strong?’
The ruler clicked his tongue slightly.
It seemed as if he had used his power too vigorously. The ruler’s power was noble and territorial, so it was difficult to control it carefully.
I reduced his power and pulled the baton back again-.
‘Why aren’t you moving?’
The ruler’s brow furrowed.
“Let go.”
At that moment, the bastard raised his head. His eyes were red, with all the blood vessels bursting. Red blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. The pungent smell of blood filled the air.
It was the blood of the ruler.
‘What is this-.’
He snapped his fingers.
The ruler frowned.
To think that magic could carry that much weight.
A cold ice spear appeared in front of him. It was so strong and sharp that it was hard to believe it was human magic.
But, it was magic after all.
There was no way the ruler would accept it.
That moment-.
‘Dangerous.’
The ruler instinctively twisted his body.
The cold ice pierced the ruler’s neck. The ruler’s neck was half-torn off. Blood spurted out. The ruler grabbed his head in a hurry.
‘what-.’
The ruler moved backwards hurriedly. A thick piece of ice was stuck into the ruler’s shoulder.
Only then did the ruler realize the situation.
His magic is-.
‘Transcending space.’
Ice was shooting out from all sides. Shoulders, feet, thighs, waist.
Ice was stuck everywhere.
Magic that transcends space? It was certainly difficult, but the ruler was a high-ranking demon.
The ruler sensed the momentary mana and twisted his body.
The sharp ice barely grazed the ruler’s neck.
A clear sense of crisis arose in that moment. The ruler pulled his power without hesitation.
He gave up dozens of his men and concentrated his power.
A thick ice spear, made at an unknown time, was aimed squarely at the heart.
Only then did the ruler realize that the bastard had led him astray.
It was an incredibly sharp calculation.
This was inevitable.
A long spear of ice was thrust into his chest.
The ruler’s new form shook violently.
However, the ruler did not fall.
“You made me draw out my powers-. That’s amazing.”
It’s been a while since you’ve had the power to do so.
He had predicted the ruler’s retreat route and prepared a desperate measure – it was certainly a sharp attack.
Just now, I had abandoned eighty men.
I had no choice but to admit it.
But in the end, his plan failed.
“It was a turning point, what a pity.”
The ruler raised the corners of his lips and examined the man.
I intended to savor his despair.
But the bastard’s reaction was different from what the ruler expected.
He looks at the ruler-.
“Hey, it’s delicious.”
He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.

‘You want to tie up the ruler all by yourself?’
Adriana squinted her eyes at the castle in the distance.
I know Galahad was a great wizard, but he was still a wizard. His opponent was a high-ranking demon, the ruler. It didn’t make sense for Galahad to bind the ruler.
Last time, I was able to escape thanks to another demon. Adriana squinted her eyes. Her temper was so bad at the time that her memory was not completely clear.
It was clearly a situation where I should have opposed it. It was too reckless, though.
[Trust me.]
Adrianna chewed her lip.
“It’ll be okay.”
At that moment, a low voice was heard from the side. It was First. Adriana furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
“The opponent is a high-ranking demon. How can it be okay?”
“Haven’t we already faced that ruler once?”
“······you’re right.”
“Galahad is a bold man, but he is not a reckless man.”
First said, snapping his fingers. Adrianna’s eyebrows lowered.
“If he said he would do it, then he would do it.”
First’s voice was full of confidence. Pumpkin, who was next to him, nodded.
“We just have to do what we are given and do it properly.”
Adriana furrowed her eyebrows at the strangely firm certainty.
Here and there, it was just a matter of believing.
‘stuffy.’
Adriana was not one to wait.
He was a knight who took the lead from the front.
However, Galahad had already entered.
All we could do here was believe.
the problem is-.
“······You’re late.”
No matter how long I waited, there was no signal.
