Chapter 122 – Nemesis (2)
When referring to the royal palace among the Gauls, the expression “Heart of Gaul” Is often used.
This is due to the fact that it plays a very important role in the administrative aspect.
In fact, the royal palace is a place where the big and small things of the country are decided.
Few would consider this an exaggeration.
And now, a blue blade was thrust into the Gaul’s heart.
The Demon King’s limbs.
It was attacked by an assailant named Karel Nadeluca.
Although the raid was already predicted, it is not laughable that the wave of the chaos exceeded the expected level.
If this continues, the palace will fall without even the slightest resistance.
But isn’t that what prevents it?
The reason why they run until their feet are on fire.
Ain matched her speed and called her red-haired witch briefly.
“Azazel.”
We didn’t just play and eat while we stayed in the palace.
Being attacked is no different from an established fact.
If so, wouldn’t it be an appropriate action to reinforce the place where the attack was planned?
So, it was Azazel who inscribed high-level defense spells throughout the royal family.
I was able to set up a defensive line using the castle method.
However, due to the nature of the Holy Law, it is difficult to install it secretly like Azazel.
Whether intentionally or not, it was a power that drew attention, and only increased her hardships.
I’m sorry.
Anyway, Ain called Azazel, who had put in such effort.
I don’t mean to hold you accountable, I just want to confirm.
Are the defenses working properly?
Azazel grumbled, pursed her lips, as if guessing what her son was saying behind her back.
“It ended like this because the guards were engraved all over the palace, otherwise the palace would have collapsed by now.”
Come to think of it, even in Arya’s memory, the palace was almost in ruins.
The reason why the palace was not like a horse was not because it was constantly damaged by the resistance against the demons, but maybe it was because of a single attack.
If so, it would be possible to explain why the palace collapsed at once.
From the beginning, it was the demons who had the upper hand in power.
There is a difference in weight class, and you are not even vigilant?
You don’t even have to use long or short ones, and the result will be obvious.
Isn’t it a model and virtue of a surprise attack to not give a grace period itself to deal with the unknown?
Aindo replied with a confused expression, as if she had gone that far.
“I am not blaming you.”
“Huh, I guess so. She pampered her so much. If you have a conscience, you shouldn’t blame me.”
“Azazel. The words are too pointed.”
“That’s the first thing to argue with, sister.”
“I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings.”
“… An apology, you?”
Ain skipped Azazel’s sharp words and asked a question.
“… Anyway, where are the demons?”
At that shamelessness, Azazel sighed lightly.
“I am on the move. Will you follow me?”
“You are asking the obvious. Wouldn’t it be better to reduce the damage?”
Minimization of damage.
As Ain said, that is our main purpose.
In other words, the urgent priority was to prevent the demons from running wild.
It won’t be easy.
“I know, don’t be shy.”
As usual, Azazel grumbled, and I calmed her down and moved on.
Exactly, it was in the middle of that.
Suddenly, bright red flames shot out from the front like a snake’s tongue.
Knowing this, Ain pulled Azazel and me by the waist and applied the brakes.
“Ughhh.” “Wow!”
We stopped each other with different screams.
The flames were large, and the firepower was strong, so it was so powerful that it could cause serious injuries.
Fortunately, thanks to Ain’s agile behavior, the clothes stopped at the level of being tanned.
“Watch out, both of you.”
Ain told us to be careful in her worried voice.
Azazel and I laughed awkwardly and said we would.
Because he felt his concern.
We moved at a slower pace than before.
Carefully following the path of the demons, should I call it a coincidence or a foolish move?
We arrived at the place where we heard the explosion.
There, the royal guards and monsters were fighting head-to-head.
I wanted to pass by because time was urgent, but the fire is getting bigger and harder to control.
Looking at the guards, it seems that they are so busy dealing with monsters that they don’t have enough resources to put in the evolution work.
I expressed my opinion because I thought it would be difficult to ignore it.
“It would be better to clean this place quickly rather than passing by, how about it?”
“That would be great, Arya.”
“I agree, sister.”
Both of them nodded their heads at the same time.
Even at the moment we exchanged opinions, the flames attached to the royal building continued to spread.
The scenery was as if the grass was swaying in the wind.
Although the ripple effect was much greater than the level of scattering wild grass.
Roaring.
An uncontrollable fire spreads with fierce momentum.
With the momentum to devour the entire castle.
Against the backdrop of that scenery, the guards struggled against the monsters.
“It’s a piece of shit.”
Ain’s short impression was indeed appropriate.
If it was just a fire, the royal family could handle it well enough.
Isn’t it a place that represents a kingdom?
Even in the kingdom, there must be many talents who can fly and grow.
Would such people be idiots who would thrive on fire?
It should evolve soon, but it’s normal.
However, the large number of monsters that came together was a problem.
The level of the monsters attacked was quite high, as if they had prepared meticulously during the past period.
At least with the skills of the Royal Guard, it seems difficult to subdue them.
Seeing this, Ain dropped the sword that was used as a holy sword on her floor.
Then, the guards walked towards the monster they were dealing with.
“Get out of the way.”
Invasion of warriors.
Realizing this fact, the faces of the guards turned bright.
In spite of the enthusiastic reaction of the guards, Ain only spoke calmly as if to tell the right truth.
“Tell me again. Get out of the way, it’s a hindrance.”
Was such a calm and weak Ain annoyed?
The heavy double-edged ax of the goat monster was directed at Ain with a blue light.
It was a well-known fact that if you didn’t resist or avoid it, your body would be cut in two.
Ain snorted at the majesty of the monster.
It wasn’t because he won the title of warrior by hitting a ticket.
I wonder if the title of monster slayer was attached to him for nothing.
He kicked the floor
Like a shot arrow, the number of new models increased.
What gap was it?
I avoided the trajectory of the rapidly swinging ax with a faster movement.
Quaang!
A large ax embedded in the ground.
Broken pieces of marble bounce in all directions.
Although it contained tremendous destructive power, it is useless if you cannot hit it.
Ain smirked briefly.
“You seem to have a lot of energy.”
In the stagnant time, metal alone cuts through the space.
It would have been nice to say that it was swimming.
The target is a monster with a goat’s head and horns.
The monster’s bizarre irises, wide open to the left and right, waited for the sword to sink in without blinking.
Ain calmly draws his sword.
He thought it was an ambiguous speed to feel fast, but at one point, his sword stabbed at the monster became a single thunderbolt.
Awesome!
The sharp iron cut the copper-colored muscular goat monster in two.
The monster that was exactly halved died without being able to regenerate.
Chew.
As if a water balloon burst, a large amount of blood stained the surroundings.
Regardless of the terrifying scenery, Ain’s eyes have already caught the next prey.
Predator’s eye.
No matter how much the monsters lost their reason, most of them seemed to feel an indescribable fear for a moment.
It’s broken.
Ain speaks kindly.
“Do not worry about it.”
I don’t know what the hero’s words specifically meant, but the monsters were nervous.
A hero is a being at the antipode of the demon king.
In other words, it was a disaster itself for the monsters.
“I won’t leave even one.”
Ain’s new form blurred.
He had gone too far before he knew it and sliced up dozens of monsters every moment.
While hunting monsters, he showed a spirited figure.
Slash, stab, crush, etc.
It was efficient slaughter and slaughter.
His intervention greatly eased the burden on the guards.
In the past, I would have just sat there and watched…
“Let there be light.”
Not now.
The spell I used flooded the surrounding monsters as if to assist him.
Essentially, it is the castle law that can make effective hits against demons and monsters.
Unlike Karelin’s time, not only did physical power exist, but they were monsters that melted as if they were touched by hydrochloric acid or strong acid.
Whiyu.
Seeing its power, Ain blew a whistle, and Arya put down her staff.
Because it was such an overwhelming annihilation period.
“Nice.”
“Awesome, sister.”
It was a strange feeling to be praised by the two of them.
A sense of accomplishment, a sense of accomplishment, a sense of pride.
As I felt all of that, my emotions were heightened.
“I have to do my part as a decent person too!”
She proudly sticks out her chest and responds in a raised voice.
As if my actions were cute, Ain stroked her hair.
At the touch, the corners of his lips loosened.
Ain and I wiped out the monsters in front with coordinated coordination, and Azazel created a large amount of water with magic to quell the fire, so the immediate problems were sorted out.
When the situation had calmed down to some extent, one of the guards, who seemed to be the representative, bowed his head respectfully.
“Thank you for your help, the hero and his companions!”
“What is the situation?”
In response to Ain’s question, the man spoke only to the point.
After hearing the explanation, Azazel frowned.
“What is the royal wizard doing? Who are the good guys?”
“Since His Majesty’s personal protection is given priority, isn’t it a situation where we can’t actively step forward…”
Azazel opened her eyes and raised her voice.
“Ha, do you mean that?”
“Azazel. Even if you ask him, you won’t get a clear answer.”
“But sister! You’re talking nonsense.”
As I was trying to teach Azazel, an ominous thought drove me crazy.
The one who carried out the attack now was Karel Naderuka.
If so, why?
It’s obvious.
Edelis.
He’ll think of using her as her teleportation door.
Why?
That way, you will be able to summon the monsters in the Demon King’s territory to this place.
In other words, that demon must have something to do with Prince Leon.
It’s urgent.
Leon and Edelis.
The sooner the decision was made, the more effective it was.
I made a decision.
“Ain, go towards Leon.”
“Right now?”
“Yes, right now. That way is more urgent, the demons will definitely be aiming for that.”
“Are you okay?”
I held the shoulder of the girl in front of me.
“Because Azazel is there.”
Ain tried to say something, but bowed her head as if resigned.
He ran his hand through Azazel’s hair as I gave him a concerned look.
“Azazel, take good care of Aria.”
Azazel, who opened her mouth for an instant, belatedly brought her to her senses.
“Even if you don’t ask, I will protect you.”
After Ain grinned, she ran away.
I just hoped that he would arrive in time as he was gradually getting farther away.
Meanwhile, Azazel looked up at me with a hint of embarrassment.
“I-I’m glad you believe in me.”
I don’t trust you, who will I trust?
I quietly hugged Azazel and whispered softly.
“I sent Ain, so they will come.”
“Them?”
“Azazel, please give me some time.”
It was when Azazel made a puzzled expression.
Suddenly, the shadow soared and spread.
And some of the guards in that range were ripped off.
“Keugh, kuk.”
“Kheuk!”
“Turn it off.”
Azazel’s expression hardened.
I also hardened her face.
A voice sounded like sulfur from the shadows.
“Is it okay if I send the warrior away so easily?”
Ah.
I was expecting it.
There was too
My body trembles.
My heart is about to break
An existence imprinted deep in my bones.
Trauma, nightmare.
“Yes I’m fine. Ronin.”
I see
My hometown.
“Because I won’t lose to you anymore.”
