The Duke’s Madness - The Duke’s Madness chapter 120

Leon, who was chasing the monkey, burst into exclamations.

An unidentified staff given by Arthur.

It was because the ability of the staff was unusual.

“Hey, this… Is it a real thing?”

It was no exaggeration to say that it was inhabited by a higher-level fire spirit.

The flames emitted from the staff burned the Dormund soldiers with ease.

Because of that, when Leon couldn’t hide his admiration, he suddenly had a question.

“… By the way, where the hell did you get such a cane from?”

With a wand like this, it was clear that he was a great wizard.

Where did Arthur Bavaria meet that dangerous wizard?

It was when Leon’s brow furrowed slightly at the sudden thought.

A sharp pain arose in both eyes.

At that moment, Leon muttered, forgetting his thoughts.

“… You finally found it, you bastard monkey! They’re hiding around here.”

With these words, Leon jumped onto a nearby hut.

At that moment, a crack appeared in the air and Marshall Dust, a man with narrow eyes.

Leon Madrid’s limbs appeared and knelt.

[Prince, I will assist you.]

Leon nodded at Martial’s sign language.

“You came at a good time, Martial. Let’s go together.”

After joining Martial, Leon crossed the roof and headed for the spire located in the middle of the village.

‘Looking at the growing pain in my eyes, there’s a monkey inside that spire.’

Leon quietly erased his presence and leaned against the wall of the spire.

Martial, who was on the other side of Leon, silently pulled out his dagger.

Leon nodded and quietly opened the closed door.

After Leon and Martial exchanged signals with a glance, they kicked the half-open door and went inside.

“Stay still, monkey! You guys are here… huh?”

Leon tilted his head.

“what? Why is no one there?”

Inside the spire was empty.

All that’s there is a pile of dusty clutter.

Leon narrowed his eyes and murmured.

‘But I can feel the pain in my eyes, so I’m sure I’m here?’

There was no mistake as it was traced to the monkey’s blood with the imperial lineage ability.

No magician can hide even blood.

Because of that, when Leon couldn’t leave easily and wandered around, Martial, who was across from him, started sign language.

[Prince, there is.]

Leon’s eyes widened and then narrowed.

‘It must be some kind of invisibility magic?’

[It seems so. Shall we handle it?]

‘There is no need for a long engagement. Take it down at once.’

Instead of answering, Martial moved on.

After that, among the heaps of clutter, he stabbed a dagger without warning at a relatively untainted monkey doll.

“Keeek!”

The monkey doll screamed wildly.

Martial did not stop there, and tried to stab the dagger at the monkey doll once again.

However, it was a monkey doll that exploded before that.

bang!

Acrid fumes rose with the harsh explosion.

Surprised, Leon backed away, and Martial also rolled on the floor, missing the dagger in his hand.

Cuckoo-!

In the meantime, a huge shadow appeared in the acrid smoke.

Leon, who had been watching, murmured in bewilderment.

“This… what else?”

With that murmur, the shadow hidden in the smoke shattered the spire.

bang!

Leon and Martial hurriedly escaped the collapsing spire.

“Koo oh hong hong!”

The one who broke the spire was a giant monster resembling a monkey.

Leon, who had been watching, unknowingly opened his mouth.

‘… Is that a monkey?’

Looking at the size of the monkey that turned into a monster, it did not bow down at all compared to the giants in mythology.

Because of that, when Leon couldn’t close his gaping mouth, the monkey opened his mouth.

[okay… It was like that.]

“… ?”

[How did you say it was strange? No matter how much the black cross guys are fanatics, they can’t touch the Dormund army.]

Leon, who came to his senses at the monkey’s words, blinked his eyes.

“… monkey? What do you mean?”

[Don’t pretend you don’t know, you mean child.]

“… ?”

[Do you think you can cover up the fact that you guys attacked the Dormund army and are now trying to kill me, the warlock!]

Leon’s mouth opened again at the monkey’s words.

“Raid the Dormund army… ?”

[okay! That wand you’re holding!]

“… !”

[That wand was held by a family mage in the rear unit! But how dare you appear in front of me holding that thing!?]

Leon was stunned at the monkey’s words, screaming in anger.

‘This, this wand was Dormund’s!?’

In the meantime, the monkey who turned into a monster declared by clenching his fists.

[As much as you… sure don’t kill me You hypocrite!]

Leon trembled at the frightening warning.

‘Ah, Arthur Bavaria, you son of a b*tch!’

No matter how much I missed the monkey, you hold the Dormund staff like this!?

Leon screamed.

“… aaagh!”

The monkey that turned into a monster started to rampage.

* * *

Ian felt a chill run down his spine.

‘Dangerous.’

Arthur Bayern in front of him was dangerous.

When I asked how much it was, I couldn’t answer.

Existence itself was dangerous.

It was not common sense, and it was unstable.

I didn’t know where to jump, and I was full of madness.

Because of that, Ian felt an intense survival instinct.

At the same time, I also had doubts.

‘How was Arthur Bayern sane when he took out Bill’s eyes?’

Wasn’t Arthur Bayern poisoned at that time?

Leon frowned and murmured.

‘It’s something that can’t be common sense. How could this happen… .’

At that moment, a memory flashed through Ian’s mind.

Kane Dormund and Cannes Madrid.

It was a conversation between my father and the lord who swore allegiance.

Ian’s eyes widened as he recalled the memory.

‘… … .’

Ian, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth and burst out laughing.

‘… That’s how it happened.’

Ian, whose eyes lit up, cut Arthur’s sword through my shoulder.

Arthur, who was watching, raised his eyes.

It was because Ian’s shoulder was half tattered because of the upward strike while the magic sword was inserted.

However, the face of Ian, the person in charge, did not shake much.

The reason soon became apparent.

Shoot-!

Ian poured the finest potion he had hidden in his arms over his shoulder.

At that moment, the wound on my shoulder healed like a lie.

Arthur groaned.

“oh… How many bottles do you have?”

Ian did not answer Arthur’s question.

Instead, he raised his sword and gradually increased the distance.

The moment Arthur tilted his head at Ian’s changed appearance from a moment ago, Ian twisted the corner of his mouth.

“Arthur Bayern. As far as I know, you are not a wizard.”

Arthur narrowed his eyes and replied.

“that’s right. I am not a wizard.”

“If you are not a wizard, only your lineage can handle lightning. Isn’t it?”

“… hmm. Right? Unless it’s an artifact?”

Ian burst into laughter.

“The rumors were true. That Bavaria has a hidden lineage.”

At Ian’s words, Arthur’s eyes twinkled.

“How did you know? That Bavaria has a hidden lineage?”

“It’s a story I heard a long time ago. A story about your cursed family.”

Arthur tilted his head.

‘curse? What curse?’

Why is Bayern cursed?

‘Is it because I’m a bit eccentric, all the other Bavarians are normal?’

Then, Ian told me an unexpected story.

“All bloodlines are available from birth. That’s why it’s called bloodline.”

“… ?”

“But the Bavarian pedigree is different. If most bloodlines are congenital, Bavarian bloodlines are acquired.”

Arthur’s eyes widened at Ian’s words.

“oh… The Bavarian lineage awakens later?”

“To put it simply, it is. Extreme traumatic stress, mental pain, brain burning pain. It is the Bavarian lineage that awakens after going through these things.”

Arthur exclaimed.

‘uh… Do you think that’s right?’

In fact, the self before the regression awakened the Bavarian lineage in that way.

‘As soon as I heard the news that the Bavarian family was destroyed, I realized this ability… .’

After thinking this far, Arthur tilted his head.

“But what does that matter in this situation?”

Ian laughed at Arthur’s question.

“It doesn’t matter. Why do you think your father is still obsessed with Bayern?”

“… … ?”

“Why did Bayern target and harass me so persistently? Aren’t you curious why?”

Arthur’s eyes widened at Ian’s words.

At the same time, Ian turned around.

“… !”

Jenika, who was dealing with the Dormund Knight, was startled.

Because Ian ran towards the Holy Grail.

‘What are you going to do?’

Whatever the intention, it never looked good.

Because of that, the moment Yenica was about to move, Ian picked up the Holy Grail first.

Ian muttered as he gazed at the Holy Grail filled with red blood.

‘My father told me never to use this power… .’

Ian, who was speechless, brightened his eyes.

‘I can’t help it now [Project L]. It’s time to borrow the power of that experiment.’

Then Jenika shouted harshly.

“What are you doing to the Holy Grail now!”

Ian ignored Yenica’s call and uttered an incantation.

“[mal’āk]”

At that moment, a light burst from Ian’s body.

Jenika, who was watching this, raised her eyes.

“what? What is the Holy Grail’s power?”

Surprisingly, light exploded from the Holy Grail, which never reacted to anything other than vampires.

Because of that, the moment Jenika couldn’t hide her astonishment, the Holy Grail broke into two pieces and fell down.

bang!

At the same time, a strong gust of wind blew right where Ian was standing.

Arthur, who had been lost for a moment, raised his eyes.

“Oh, what is that again?”

With these words, an exclamation flowed from Arthur’s mouth.

“oh… .”

A certain being shimmering in the moonlight screamed.

[Kickkkikikiki, Kiririk!]

It was a terrible monster that gave me goosebumps just by looking at it.

* * *

At Ian’s words, Arthur was momentarily troubled even though he knew he shouldn’t be like this.

‘Why Kane Dormund was aiming for Bayern… Could it be that the reason was to awaken the Bavarian lineage?’

Whether it was a lie or not, it couldn’t have been a fresh shock.

But what was even more surprising was that Ian’s words were plausible when looking at the current situation.

Even he, who knew the information about the future, could not understand why Kane Dormund had tried to harass and destroy Bavaria so much.

But if what Ian was saying right now was true, it was quite right.

‘Dormund has been obsessed with lineage since ancient times. Then, what tormented Bavaria was in order to obtain bloodlines… ?’

The corner of Arthur’s mouth went up.

Whether the guess was correct or not, the truth to be heard from Ian’s mouth increased.

‘It’s rather good because there are many things I need to hear from Ian anyway.’

It was when Arthur finished his thoughts and looked up.

A monster stood at the altar.

“Hey what is that?”

It was a monster with fangs sticking out like a vampire, and its entire body covered in black fur.

It even had a tail reminiscent of a spear attached to its buttocks.

‘I hope that… Ian?’

At that moment when Arthur’s eyes widened with the thought, the monster let out a scream.

At that moment, the Dormund knights who were dealing with Jenika collapsed on their seats with nosebleeds.

“Cheer, heck?”

“The body, the strength in the body… .”

The Dormund Knights, who exclaimed, stopped breathing.

Arthur’s mouth dropped open as he watched.

“uh? A knight dies that easily?”

At that time, something slipped over the heads of the Dormund Knights.

It was their soul and spirit.

The monster approached the soul and began devouring it.

Arthur, who had been watching the scene blankly, murmured.

“and… What is that monster doing again?”

At that moment, Yenika slumped on the seat and murmured.

“Ahh… no. Why is the power of the clan to Dormund… .”

The monster turned to face the speechless woman.

Meeting their gaze, Jenika trembled.

[Kiki, kick kack!]

The monster burst into a grotesque laugh and lunged at Yenika.

After thinking about it, Arthur pulled the trigger on the Beast.

bang-!

The bullet that went off pierced the monster’s head nicely.

However, the wound pierced by the bullet quickly healed.

The overflowing blood was self-sufficiently sealing the wound.

[Kik, Kikkeuk, Kikkeuk!]

The monster whose head had been pierced turned its head and looked at Arthur.

At that glance, Arthur asked a question quietly.

“Hey, Mr. Monster? Are you really Ian?”

The monster laughed at Arthur’s question.

[Kick, skewer, skewer-!]

It wasn’t clear whether it was laughter or crying.

Arthur shrugged and raised the beast and the demonic sword.

And the moment I was about to pounce on the monster, a nosebleed burst out.

“oh… ?”

Arthur, who lost his center of gravity, collapsed on the spot.

After that, he muttered as he wiped the profuse blood from his nose.

“and… what is this? Magic? lineage?”

I tried to stand up with these words, but it didn’t work out as I wanted.

Along with severe dizziness, I couldn’t hear the words of my body.

Meanwhile, the monster laughed again.

[Chuck, squeak, squeak!]

Arthur murmured at that unique laugh.

‘Could it be that monster’s ability?’

The nosebleed continued to drip.

As I wiped the dripping nosebleed with my sleeve, my vision spun around this time.

From nob le mt l dot com

Not only that, vomiting came up, and my stomach was strangely nauseous.

It wasn’t even magic, but it was really amazing.

Of course, I couldn’t help but admire it.

[Kick, skewer, skewer!]

The monster that raised the corners of the eyes to the corners of the eyes, whether it was the corners of the mouth or the snout, was gradually approaching.

Arthur, who had no intention of being beaten by such a monster as Ian, fell into trouble.

‘I can move if I really have to force it, but can I catch that monster?’

Arthur shook his head.

It’s a monster that makes me fall into this state just by looking at it, but I couldn’t catch that monster just by moving.

‘I have to find a way, but hmm… .’

It was when Arthur, speechless, grabbed the magic sword in line with the gradually approaching monster’s steps.

Jenika, who was behind the monster, suddenly caught my eye.

“oh?”

Unlike herself, who was constantly bleeding from her nose, Yenica was fine.

Of course, it was mesmerized somewhere, but it seemed that the monster’s ability did not work on the outside.

Because of that, the corner of Arthur’s mouth went up slightly.

“hmm… yes. An eye for an eye, an tooth for a tooth.”

And by bloodline by bloodline.

After thinking this far, Arthur moistened his dry lips with his tongue.

‘Yenika P… It was delicious, right?’
