If the dead… no, not dead yet, but half-dead Gaunt had still been conscious, he might have cursed at you, the monster bastard who didn’t even look human.

It was an absurd story from Galen’s perspective. That person could have a status window. If you think about the average personality of the wizards I’ve met so far, Galen is a fairy. How human is that?

반면에 곤트의 파트너 적발 청년은 문제가 많았다. 아주. 사람 새끼 안 같다는 말은 욕설이 아니었다.

실력이 윗줄임을 증명하듯 청년의 부상은 곤트에 비하면 훨씬 가벼웠다. 얕다는 건 아니지만, 보석쯤 되면 전투를 속행하기에는 문제가 없을 정도.

그런데 그 부상마저도 실시간으로 빠르게 회복되고 있었다.

성직자라서? 개소리. 갈렌처럼 릴리아의 성력을 수백 수천 번 접했던 사람이 아니더라도, 워낙 건강해서 교회 치료소 갈 일이 없었던 사람이더라도, 저게 성직자의 기적처럼 보인다면 시력에 문제가 있는 거다.

밝은 금빛의 성력이 상처를 보듬고 있노라면 옆에서 구경만 해도 부드럽고 따뜻한 느낌을 받지만.

적발 청년의 상처는 시뻘겋고 질척한, 액체와 기체의 중간 상태 같은 기묘한 무언가가 보글거리며 순식간에 아무는 중이었다. 오컬트 영화의 한 장면 같았다.

It could be that they were playing around with the magic bottle, but… Well, is there really a fraudulent magic bottle that has a more terrifying effect than the Archbishop’s healing? If there was, wouldn’t the magic cult have been carrying it around a long time ago?

Then, it seems that the guy himself, and not the cavalry, is the culprit.

Shhh!

갈렌을 찢어 죽일 기세로 노려보던 청년이 갑자기 움직였다.

그대로 땅을 박차면서 하늘로 뛰어올랐다면 바로 반격을 먹여 주려고 했는데.

움직인 방향은 위가 아니라 옆이었다. 근처에 쓰러져 있던 곤트 곁에 청년이 순식간에 도착했다.

설마 곤트를 살리려는 마음이 샘솟아서 저러는 건 아닐 테고.

곤트의 마병을 챙기려는 걸까? 귀속 옵션이 없는 마병이라면, 곤트가 들었을 때보다 청년이 들었을 때 곱절은 위험하리라.

물론, 마병이 멀쩡하다면 말이다.

[열화 Lv.69]

[High fever: Control]

[화력 : 팽창]

The integrated evolution of Vanity Flame has also been completed safely, so why would Galen leave that dangerous object alone?

It wasn’t just Gaunt’s body that was blown away by the blast. The horseman he was holding was also split in two. Whether the blade was encased in high heat or not, it seemed that there was no way to withstand the explosive force of the reckless strike.

Would it work even if it was broken? Even a half-blade isn’t dangerous, though. It’s fine as long as it doesn’t hit you.

“… … ?”

But then something unexpected happened.

Isn’t it the young man who picks up the gont rather than the horseman?

If you saw that the horseman was broken, you could have just said you didn’t pick it up, but why Gaunt? Turns out he was a loyalist?

Galen’s puzzlement lasted only a few seconds.

Because the young man who had quickly picked up the fallen Gaunt bit Gaunt’s nape right away.

“… … .”

Galen frowned deeply.

Even though Gaunt was hit hard by the heatwave and was roasted golden brown, he certainly didn’t imagine being torn to pieces like meat.

Fortunately, the young man only bit and did not tear, so a cannibalism scene did not occur.

If I had to describe it… it would look like someone was sucking blood with their fangs stuck in.

“So that’s what it was.”

Galen muttered as he thought about the fake patient’s testimony that the client wanted fairy blood.

“That’s what you were going to eat.”

The reason for the talk about immortality is that I never believed it from the beginning.

Would it be more effective to offer fairy blood instead of human blood as a sacrifice to the magician? I was just guessing.

Whether it’s the amazing regenerative ability or the way it sucks blood so naturally,

“Are you a demon?”

“You’re really quick-witted.”

The red-faced youth spoke, taking his lips from Gaunt’s nape.

Of course, it wasn’t meant as a compliment. It was sarcasm, meaning that he realized it quickly.

Galen instead smiled slyly at the young man who was mocking him.

“Actually, I had guessed it from the beginning. But I thought it was too presumptuous of a guess, so I kept my mouth shut.”

“What?”

“The idea that you’re not human means that I’m too good.”

Why did Galen and Lilia get so much attention?

That’s because, out of the blue, a group of young rookies in their twenties entered the jewel realm, which was full of old people, even those who were over fifty.

If the young man who doesn’t look over 30 even after being hit a lot is really a Jewel Warrior, he should naturally be famous.

But Galen had never heard of any young gems other than himself and Lilia, not even as a rumor.

A master in the wild? Even if we assume that he became a jewel without ever being revealed to the world, the devil’s cult found him and invited him without even knowing about the church? It’s quite possible.

If that guy isn’t human, then it’s solved. If he’s a freshly minted demon, then it’s explained amply.

Except for her pale skin, she looked very human, but even demons like Sirens looked like quite beautiful women, except for their horns.

“And you’re so tasteless. I thought I might have misjudged you.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Galen stopped speaking and pointed his index finger at the young man.

The moment the young man’s gaze turned towards her, he suspected that another strange magic was coming out of her fingertips.

Tenebrae, who had come through the space, landed gently on the shadow cast by the young man’s sturdy build blocking out the sunlight.

Wedge!

The pitch-black primordial spirit that had melted into the shadows swung its magic. The shadow that had gained life rose like a blade and aimed for the young man’s groin.

“How dare you!”

Unfortunately, it was difficult to hit a jewel-level enemy with a shadow blade that was swinging during the day, let alone a jewel-level enemy.

Despite the near-perfect surprise, the young man reacted surprisingly quickly. The shadow blade was crushed mercilessly by the young man’s foot before it could gain any momentum.

Kwajik!

But even though the defense was successful, the young man’s face was frowning.

It was because I had seen the fairy woman and Galen disappear into the darkness twice, and even the blade of the shadow, and it reminded me of something.

Galen, who had a smiling expression even though his attack failed, drove the wedge in.

“There’s a tribe called Nightmares among the demons. You know them well, since we’re on the same side. I tried imitating them. What do you think? Are they similar?”

“What, what is it?”

It felt similar, but was it really an imitation?

How could a mere half-human wizard copy the power bestowed by his master?

The young man’s eyes wavered. Galen shook his mind even more with a smile in his voice.

“Anyway, if you’re a demon, you should show at least one plausible ability, right? But you just seem like a strong guy, so I wondered if you were really a demon. That creepy regenerative ability doesn’t seem like magic at all—”

“Shut up!”

Before Galen could finish speaking, the young man gave a loud shout, kicked the ground with all his might, and flew towards Galen.

It was because I felt fear, which was truly absurd and truly shameful.

Looking at the eyes as if they were looking at an interesting toy, far removed from the two normal human reactions of disgust and fear.

If a lesser being had opened his eyes like that, I would have ripped them out, but it was terrifying to see someone stronger than him and someone who could even steal his powers looking at him like that.

Kwaaaaah!

But, annoyingly, Galen, while talking excitedly, gave me no room at all.

The young man, who had tried to pierce through the space where Galen had been standing in one breath, had to endure a terrifyingly noisy strong wind before he could even get close enough to his destination.

On the ground, he had at least a place to stand, but there was no way to resist the wind of the century that pushed his entire body weight in the air without any foothold. Whether he was as strong as the Gem Warrior or not.

“Am I mistaken? It seems to have gotten a little faster than before?”

Galen tilted his head as if he found it amusing.

“You wouldn’t be so stupid as to save your strength in the situation just now. Then… sucking the captain’s blood? That’s the only way.”

Although it was a soliloquy, the young man’s excellent hearing allowed him to hear Galen’s voice clearly. In fact, he was telling him to listen. He was trying to see his reaction.

“I didn’t think the devil could pull out a jewel-level evil spirit, but this explains its strength. If you keep sucking blood, you’ll keep getting stronger, right? I don’t think it’ll be effective just by sucking the blood of just anyone. Did you look for fairy blood because fairies are strong? Oh, is getting stronger by sucking blood a unique ability? That’s a bit hard to obtain. And you can’t suck blood either.”

“I told you to shut up!”

The young man, who had been forced to the ground by the wind, could not stand the sound of Galen’s chattering voice and jumped up again, shouting as if in a fit.

Kwaaaaah!

That didn’t change the outcome. The spiral vortex pushed the young man back with all its might once again.

But this time the ending was different from before.

The young man, who was still unable to overcome the wind and was falling as if he was being thrown, showed some clever moves.

After landing with a glide, he uses the wind that was pushing him back against him, using it as propulsion to accelerate.

Shhhhhh!

In front of the young man who was shooting at a rapid pace, there was a large tent. It was the tent that the Brave Mercenaries had stacked up after subduing the sky fairies earlier.

It was a somewhat unexpected move.

However, Galen, who had been able to react quickly even when trying to close the distance by jumping with all his might, could not have failed to deal with the young man trying to move to a tent that was further away.

While estimating the young man’s speed in the slowed time, Galen simultaneously raised the magic power of the flame.

[Deterioration: Firepower: Expansion]

[Heat Wave]

In the process of integrated evolution, the magical power is clearly oriented towards explosion specialization and put in half.

[Deterioration: Heat: Control]

[Super hot flames]

Add half the magic power to make it much hotter than normal fire.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

It blew away the young man’s future.

“Keuh-euk!”

I’ve experienced it once before, but I twisted my body forcibly because I felt an ominous feeling right before the explosion.

If it had been a minor explosion, there would have been no such thing as a major incident.

While I was running towards the tent, the entire front was blown away, and there was no way I could have avoided it by slightly changing my path.

“Who would call you a devil? How mean. Where are you going to take hostages? Oh, no. Were you just going to eat lunch?”

“This crazy guy! Who is saying those words to whom!”

The young man, who had been thrown backwards, rolled on the ground and barely managed to get up. The evil spirit gnashed its teeth with a face distorted like an evil spirit.

The explosion point was far enough away that even if the sparks didn’t hit directly, the shock wave would be enough to sweep through the tent. I thought it couldn’t possibly explode here, so I let my guard down a little and ended up getting hurt even worse.

How can he be talking about taking hostages when he has committed more heinous acts? The young man felt his blood boil.

Of course, Galen didn’t care whether his opponent’s blood pressure exploded or not. He had even taken separate measures to prevent the fairies inside the tent from being swept away. He was innocent.

“Let’s play fair, let’s play fair.”

Underground, Gleba still runs freely, hindering the young man’s every step.

Sssssss!

As you try to move, barely avoiding the twisting steps, strong winds push your body here and there.

Those two combinations alone were enough to seriously trip me up earlier.

Now, Tenebrae, who is hiding in the shadows, occasionally flicks his shadow sword whenever he forgets.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions with reduced power but increased rate of fire took advantage of the gap in the mind being dispersed to three places and exploded in various parts of the body.

Although he managed to avoid fatal wounds and continue to recover, it was truly a one-sided violence. Now, he was rushing at Galen, taking advantage of his opening, and he had no time to even think about it.

It was a scene that suggested that if the gold and jewels had different attributes and were perfectly linked, four people could manipulate one jewel-level object.

“You’re talking about water! How can you be so upright when you don’t even use water?”

The young man cried out in a fit of rage, almost vomiting blood. Galen responded calmly.

“If you feel wronged, you too can go and ask the devil for one more ability.”

“this person!”

I guess you still have the energy to express your emotions. I guess I’ll have to raise the difficulty level by one level.

[Life: Mind: Follow]

[Ma Seong Eum Yeok]

The power of the Siren, which could not be denied by anything that originated from the devil, struck the young man.

“Huh?!”

The young man’s eyes opened wide as if they were going to burst. His senses were going crazy and his alarm bells were ringing as the sinister force dug into his head.

“This is… Siren! This wicked half-sister!”

“Just avoid talking.”

Unlike Siren or Nightmare, the young man was able to withstand the demonic sound range with ease, perhaps because he was of jewel-grade quality.

However, as I was dodging other magic spells with all my might and was additionally hit with a mental attack, it seemed like I was slowly reaching my limit.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

My body bursts here and there from the magic I couldn’t avoid, but I still recover completely, burst again, and recover again.

Even though the troll, who was synonymous with regenerative power, had insane regenerative power that couldn’t even be handed out as a business card, that alone wasn’t enough to turn the tide of the battle.

in the end.

Phew!

The young man’s head was blown away by the explosion.

The young man stumbled, momentarily losing his balance due to exhaustion, and Galen missed his aim, which was originally aimed for the shoulder, and ended up hitting him in the head.

“Huh?”

Galen scratched his head as he looked at the torso that had fallen backwards with the neck gone.

I was planning to keep him alive until Lilia and Shamita arrived so that I could clearly see the culprit’s identity.

‘… Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.’

Maybe this is better because it’s more dramatic.

Galen, who had been staring indifferently at the fallen demon with slightly narrowed eyes, eventually turned his head.

His sense of water manipulation, which has the widest range of magic, has been notifying a presence approaching from both the east and west at roughly the same time.

My colleagues were coming.
