Chapter 1009 – Episode 922 – The Beginning of a New Festival! (3)
A few hours after the Estoria group arrived.
Orlando came with a group of high-ranking noblemen to make a final inspection of the duel that was to take place.
Looking around the streets of Helmut, where an event is being prepared. Orlando and the nobles looked at the battlefield where magic such as strengthening magic and magic barrier were applied.
The guys who inspected the battlefield very carefully showed slightly surprised expressions, as if they thought I was going to do something trick.
“… Hmm. Surprisingly. I didn’t think there would be such a nice place prepared…”
“Under? What. Did you really think I would use some trick? I can’t believe you thought of me as such a little kid. “Is this a bit too much?”
“I didn’t think you would do anything. If it was a trick, it would have been the demons… But more than that. What I found surprising was the state of this duel arena.”
It is about 200 meters long and wide. Orlando touches the arena that was built sufficiently wide and answers lightly without even giving an honorific title.
On the outside, it just looked like a calm face. Now, Orlando was unusually surprised.
“How did you cast this level of protection magic? Did you even bring Dean Saruang from Jurgen?”
A protective spell designed to protect the floor and stands.
Although it varies slightly depending on the location. This type of protection magic is used in quite a few places.
Although it has an inferior body. Still, the humans of Essentia have the means to strengthen their bodies.
Since they were at a high level and could break rocks, these types of strengthening and defense magic were essential magic for the survival of Essentia’s humans.
However, magic has different effects depending on the user. Therefore, the training place for hero knights is where the greatest wizards in the kingdom are called and cast spells.
But it was a magic barrier stronger than the protective magic cast by those archmages. Even after seeing it for myself, I couldn’t believe it.
“The magic tools used to maintain such high-intensity protective magic would not be possible if the magic tools were clumsy… Who on earth prepared it?”
“Puhuhuh. “Isn’t that all thanks to this body’s connections?”
“Hmm… I can’t believe there was someone this talented. “I really want to ask you to see the royal castle’s protection magic at least once…”
Although I am speaking in a bit of a roundabout way. A nobleman’s unique way of speaking, asking who is the person who cast this spell.
The Demon King couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows at the sight of Orlando showing off his pride and not asking directly.
Magic is a technique that converts energy into energy called mana and then flows that mana into a magic formula.
Although the Demon King did not fully understand such principles. Still, he was aware that energy conversion was necessary within the human body.
In fact, it is converting Eser or Tesser into a third energy called mana… But I heard that there are still some traces of the energy before conversion in the mana.
But the person who is said to be the strongest human being can’t even feel the slightest sense of discomfort. Even though he was a guy whose main focus was combat, I felt like he was too insignificant.
In the end, he is the strongest human being and all, but he is on the same level as Ferragus and others. The devil thought like that and laughed at Orlando in his heart.
I am satisfied with the level of protection magic prepared by the livestock. The Demon King nodded his head as if he was being kind.
“Puhuhuh. Okay. “After the Human Demon Festival is over, I will bring the wizard to the castle.”
The subject has a solemn face that boasts how handsome I am. Idaji is also pathetic…
What kind of expression will this pathetic male show when he sees the females who have become beasts covering the castle with the energy of the beast?
Not knowing that the Demon King was contemplating whether to kill him right away or take him to the royal castle and kill him. Orlando nodded his head without any expression of gratitude.
“I don’t think there will be any problems with the location. Then, about the duel method…”
Orlando’s face is so stiff that it doesn’t seem like a joke would work at all.
I was looking forward to seeing how that face would distort. For a while, the Demon King showed a polite side to the seemingly decent male.

And the next day.
Orlando, Estoria, and other minor figures who followed Estoria entered Helmut in the wagon they had brought.
There was also a tone carriage prepared separately by the Demon King. However, the Estorian group refused to do so and got on a wagon pulled by a slug-like lizard that they had brought with them.
The sight of slow-moving beasts wandering around Helmut, which had already become a city of beasts, was a ridiculous sight for the beasts to see.
“Okay. “I don’t think it’s a trap?”
“Okay. I can’t believe it, but… It seems like the divine beast really wants us to reconcile with the demons.”
But right now, Estonia didn’t care what other people thought.
A city stained by the unsightly hands of demons. Just the fact that I was in such a place was terrible enough that I didn’t feel the attention of others.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t go back on our decision now. All Estoria could do was to suppress her emotions.
“No matter how much I think about it, I’m suspicious… But looking at the reports from those who participated in the Human Demon Festival in advance, it doesn’t seem like there’s any particular plan…”
“Ha. You really want to make peace with demons… They are divine beasts who were once said to have led the warriors for the world. “I don’t know why I can’t recognize the true nature of demons.”
Why does the human race of Essentia respect divine beasts?
That’s also because of the power they have. In fact, rather than that, it was because of the records of the distant past when they moved for the world.
There was a time when the territory of monsters was much wider than it is now.
It was a very difficult time for humans, as they had no choice but to live much more harshly than they do now.
Although many warriors and strong men played an active role. Inferior humans whose only goal was to protect their own territory.
The ones who protected those people and led the warriors were those called Shinsoo.
Nowadays, the past is difficult to find even in records… But things from the past are always passed down through people’s mouths.
Now I don’t know why everyone is doing it. It was a situation where it had become something of a common sense to respect the divine beasts.
“The fortunate thing is the dueling method suggested by Shinsu. It’s annoying that it takes so long, but…”
The winning method suggested by the devil. It was a kind of wheel-to-wheel battle with 11 people each competing.
With Orlando and Ferragus as the last. A one-on-one battle where each person takes out one person.
The winner continues to face challengers from the other side, and if they lose, the next turn comes and the winner continues to face the other side’s winner.
The one who defeated Orlando or Ferragus first, who were designated last, would be the winner who could command anything to the opposing race.
The combat power of Orlando and Ferragus is considerably higher than that of the others.
Although it is actually a battle between the two. One difference was that the one who reached the two first with enough personnel left could reduce the other party’s stamina.
“Still, it’s impossible for you to lose to a demon or something. I believe it. Orlando.”
“Heh. Okay. This time, I’ll finally defeat that annoying Ferragus guy.”
An unrestricted battle where you can kill your opponent as long as he or she does not declare defeat.
That kind of confrontation was something Orlando was very happy about.
Although it is Ferragus who is said to be his rival. In fact, if you look at technology alone, it is clear that you are superior.
Although they have similar strength and keen senses. No matter how much I thought about it, I never thought I would be defeated by Ferragus in a head-on confrontation.
“… But. Why on earth are they such vulgar people? “What kind of women do that without any shame…?”
“I was dumbfounded too… But everyone seemed to be doing that because they were in a festive mood. “Is this a festival concept that was decided through a lottery or something?”
“What a ridiculous concept… To see things like that in broad daylight. “My head hurts.”
I looked at Orlando, who was so confident, with a strange feeling. Esttoria looked through the window of the wagon and sighed.
The outrageous outfits of human and demon women that feel embarrassing are not enough.
The sight of women with tattoos on their bodies, baring their breasts and legs in a vulgar way, was an extremely provocative sight for Estonia, who was born into a noble family.
If the females were dressed decently, they would have felt something out of place in the dull expressions of the males or the seductive expressions of the females.
However, Estonia is so distracted by one obscene outfit that she fails to notice the evil vibes of the females.
“To see them wearing such vulgar clothes with demons and smiling brightly… Tsk. When the war is over, I will have to make each city thoroughly aware of how vicious demons are.”
She had no idea where she had gotten herself into.
