Chapter 259 – Chapter 24 – Shimmering Flames
“I will say it again.”
A city belonging to the kingdom half a day away from the continental academy.
It was an extremely ordinary place, and it was also a place where academy cadets and professors would come out to cool off from time to time.
The number of people secretly gathered there was concentrating on one person’s words.
“I just got the news. He said that the Demon King would come all the way here with the traitor, Klaus, without a proper escort. It’s a good opportunity. This time, we hold the Demon King in our hands and cause chaos in the East once again. And all of that can be thrown to the person who instigated this.”
“…”
“…”
“Forget about honor and all things here. We came all this way only for the sake of the kingdom, and we are the ones who have sworn to protect our country even if we do dirty things.”
At that, everyone in the room nodded as if they were right.
Even if it wasn’t so, the fact that the demon king dared to return to the academy was very annoying.
Aren’t they causing continental wars, devastating the west and kingdoms, and bewitching even war heroes as their own dogs?
She is a woman who is more than a devil, she will be in big trouble if not dealt with immediately.
What does internal purge mean? It’s just preparing to release your power to the outside.
What does it mean to release power to the outside? It is another war.
Right away, the Western Union worked to see the situation in the East and saw the reaction.
He said that the unfavorable aura had returned.
All of this obviously means war.
The acts and words full of goodwill shown to the West so far are a smokescreen to hide them.
When they reached that point, the Western Union secretly moved and deployed them.
Eliminate the two figures who pose the worst danger even if they attack the academy.
One was Demon King Julia, and the other was Klaus, who knew the situation in the West all too well.
However, those two people leave the academy, which is difficult to even approach, and come here.
Going out using the weekend was something I went to occasionally, so there was nothing to doubt.
Right away, they finished their preparations, and as soon as they entered the city, they secretly followed them, intending to clear things up at once.
“I’m saying this just in case, but don’t ever think or act in vain. A demon who bewitched Klaus with her beauty. There is a high possibility that you will be deceived by wasting your time, so be careful.”
“Could there be anyone possessed by a disgusting demon?”
“Didn’t that proud war hero fall for a fool?”
“That’s something only commoner idiots can do. Speaking of demons, the answer is to kill them unconditionally.”
It is a group made up of the most powerful people who have extreme hostility towards the demons and support them.
With the forces secretly cultivated by the Western Union, it was perfect for today’s task.
As long as you can achieve your goal no matter how much you sacrifice, it is literally a business that remains.
Even though it’s like giving a justification for harming the King of the East, something that can’t be erased with anything.
In the East, if the king didn’t care whether he died or not, it didn’t matter at all.
‘A letter that came in secret a while ago was decisive.’
That a large-scale rebellion had broken out in the East, and that Yulia had succeeded in suppressing it.
And it is a known fact that all the leaders of the rebellion were killed in the process.
Among them, the only survivor was said to be the head of the LeBlanc family, but it seemed that Julia was trying to reduce the antipathy and place the LeBlanc family in her place, following her orders, in order to rule the LeBlanc family as her own.
It’s just that the blood relative appears to be loyal to them on the outside, but behind the scenes, it seems that they have other ulterior motives.
– If you get rid of the Demon King, we’ll clean up the rest of the East. Instead, we’ll give the West anything it wants. The value of handicrafts could be cut in half, or the territory could be separated. –
At first, of course, I didn’t believe it, I couldn’t believe it.
The person who sent the letter was Cecily LeBlanc, a demon called the current LeBlanc family.
According to the information, he was said to be the one who sat in the seat of the head of the household by the demon king, but the reason was that the youngest in the hierarchy took the position, so there would be no particular malice towards the demon king.
However, Cecily said that they were those who agreed with her, revealed the names of other demon nobles, and even showed proof that they would follow this action.
The Western Union also decided that this might be their best chance, if done well.
While going through the purges and subduing the rebellion, it seems that the kingship has been built stronger than ever.
Power raised by blood was eventually destroyed by blood.
There is no choice but to create a backlash if you try to suppress the aristocrats who have such animosity right now.
Thinking so, the Western Union secretly accepted the offer.
“Captain, I just confirmed that the academy’s wagon is entering the city.”
“Great. Follow them as secretly as possible and find a good place to hold the ancestral rite.”
“I’ll set it to a place where there are as few people as possible, but if that’s not acceptable…”
“It’s okay to just go ahead and kill all the witnesses. A decision has been made not to care how many commoners die. And anyway, this is something the rebels in the east instigated, and we west don’t know about it, so it’s enough to get rid of it.”
After that, the number of people in their 30s began to spread in all directions.
All of them are knights with quite strong skills, and they have a lot of practical experience.
Even considering the power of the Demon King and Klaus, this would be enough.
There were even wizards waiting to neutralize magic between them.
While exchanging signals like that, those who followed Yulia and Klaus felt that now was the best time as they entered an alley that felt somewhat remote.
The alley that is located for a while before moving on to the next street.
It was a time when there were almost no commoners doing business, and there were not many people who came and went.
As if they were only aiming for this moment, those who were crouching jumped into it all at once.
The East, which was expected to be in chaos forever, is about to enter a period of revival before the West!
You have to kill the demon king, who is the center of it, and bring about their division.
At the same time, if the west can advance eastward through the chaos, it will be able to avenge all the shame suffered in the last continental war!
It was the moment when everyone thought of their sublimity without a single doubt.
“You don’t even know it’s where you’re going to die, and you’re looking for it.”
Fuck!!-
The head of the colleague who stood at the forefront disappeared as it was.
I confirmed that there was no weapon, and there was no sign of noticing this side.
As soon as they entered the alley, what they faced was Klaus, who blew off the other’s head with a very relaxed expression, and Yulia, who was laughing behind him.
“I made sure there was no weapon, but how…”
Those who muttered that, soon they were able to confirm the magical power circulating around Klaus.
The moment they realized that, those gathered in the room could only chew their lips.
Any act of attracting the opponent’s mana while following him this far.
And he did not feel even the faintest aura of magical energy gathering around him.
But at what point could they, and even the wizards accompanying them, not know while they were floating three magical cores!
Those who realized that things were wrong immediately rushed at them.
Although it is called an alley, it is not so narrow that one can block the heat.
I was able to easily surround only two of them, forcibly create a gap, and aim for that moment to shove a knife into their heart.
Even they have to fight only with magical powers without even weapons.
In this way, they could say that they had a much better advantage with the wizard involved.
There’s no way you don’t know that, but you should definitely know that it’s a disadvantage.
“Yulia. Why don’t you just stay still?”
Klaus was rather concerned about Yulia standing behind her, and he only told her to leave it to himself.
Of course, Yulia shook her head as if she absolutely hated her.
“I do not like it. Why can I give my child a good experience?”
“I’ve said it before, but if it can have a bad influence on the child…”
“It’s noisy and it’s like grabbing everyone and kicking them. Surely it’s not slower than a pregnant woman with a baby, right?”
At the same time as she said that, Yulia bounced up the wall and lightly swung her leg once.
Since the distance was quite long, those who wondered what the hell was doing were soon jumped at the bodies of those standing in front of them! I saw blood lines being drawn.
Rather than simply gathering and attacking mana, it was used around the body.
She was Yulia, who had reached a level she had never dared dream of until a few months ago.
Seriously, who would have given it the moniker of a blood-crazed devil? While thinking
Klaus decided to leave no mercy in her hands to ease the burden of her going to Yulia as much as possible.
Weapon? It’s not that she couldn’t bring it, she didn’t feel the need to bring it in the first place.
It is clear that the skills of the guys gathered here are not too bad if you look at them objectively.
She probably wouldn’t have lasted less than five minutes if she had been Yulia, who had just entered the academy.
But now and then the situation itself is completely different.
The current Julia has grown to such an extent that even Klaus can no longer be defeated at will.
Above all, all of these people were not ordinary people, but made up of hardline nobles of the kingdom.
Aristocrats doing strange nonsense in front of Klaus?
Even those nobles have ties to the guys who once bothered them so much?
From his point of view, there was nothing wrong with beating him to death.
“Knock!”
“Gagging!”
At first, those who thought they were hunting.
But less than five minutes later, I realized something was wrong.
Realizing that they were being hunted and not being hunted, they tried to leave quickly, but once the prey was caught, the beast never intended to let go of the prey easily.
“Stupid things. They don’t even know that my family just uses them and throws them away.”
It jumps up in the air and reversely blocks their retreat.
He knows himself as just a guy who got lucky in a war.
No, I stare at the aristocrats who want to believe that with a smile.
“Gagging!”
“Still, you guys are lucky to die fighting like this. It would be better than being captured without resistance and being impaled alive on the spearhead.”
Klaus didn’t intentionally cut off their breath.
All of his limbs were smashed, his mouth ripped open to prevent him from making any noise, and a small hole was pierced in his chest so that he would die slowly in agony.
I will die, but I will not die in peace.
Until the moment I die, I know clearly what pain is, and die like that.
“Ouch! Knock!”
“Kkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeuk .”
Klaus, who had taken care of all over 20 people before 10 minutes had passed, looked back.
There was Yulia, who also had a very relaxed and refreshing expression, holding the limp corpses of the assailants in her hands.
“Couldn’t this be the end, Klaus?”
“Of course not. These are just snares.”
“As you said, these guys were after me. How can you be embarrassed? I don’t think I can catch even the maids of the Devil Castle with these scumbags.”
If that maid was referring to Planche, even if hundreds, if not dozens, of the maids came, they wouldn’t be able to catch them.
Klaus muttered that to himself and grabbed the head of the one he had deliberately held his breath on.
A man dragged along like a doll with all his arms and legs already harpooned.
Still, it seems like he’s trying to hold on because he’s an aristocrat, but…
Kwok-.
“Keuk! Turn it off!!”
Originally, pain is far beyond people’s expectations.
As I manually gouged out one of the other person’s eyes, his body begins to convulse.
Soon, when the words to save his life came out of his tightly closed mouth, Klaus smiled.
He would have believed that there was an unquenchable fire in the East.
They might have tried to aim for fisherman geography after pouring some oil on it and sticking to it without knowing.
Conversely, preparations to burn everything in the West were over.
“Klaus.”
“Yes, Your Highness the Demon King.”
“Declare war, and prepare to move the troops waiting in the assembly area.”
All that was left was to lead the raging fires in the east to the west.
