The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With - The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With chapter 124

124 – Fear of Death (1)

Emeric gritted his teeth and raised his auror.

When the purple aura that only a few selected knights could use exploded, the wyvern was weighed down by the wave and wonced.

Without missing that moment, Emeric left his afterimage, turned transparent, and quickly rushed towards the wyvern’s chest.

The Wyvern, who came to his senses in the aftermath of the Auror, roared and jabbed his head at the afterimage of Emeric, who was still standing in front of him.

As the wyvern’s snout landed on the ground where the afterimage was standing, Emeric’s body flickered to the side and struck the wyvern’s neck with a sword.

The Imperial Knight Commander’s treasured sword cut off the thick hair of the Gargul Wyvern in one fell swoop.

“Whoa…”

As the wyvern’s body fell down with its head cut off, Emeric let out a long sigh and put away his sword.

Although Emeric was a cowardly and timid man who stabbed his close colleague Leonard in the back for immediate gain, his skills were the strongest knight in the empire, and no one could argue with him.

For Emeric, the Gargul Wyvern was not a difficult opponent.

Is this the wyvern that Leonard went to catch?

Emeric took his eyes off the intermittently twitching body of the wyvern and looked around.

Leonard mortally wounded this wyvern, but it seems he wasn’t able to kill it completely.

If so, I’ll probably come back here soon to finish it off.

If I want to meet Leonard, can I just wait here?

Emeric, leaning against a nearby tree, took out a scroll of return magic from his arms and held it in his hand.

As soon as Leonard saw him, he was going to tear the scroll and return immediately.

Although a wizard agrees with me, I kept it with me just in case, but I never thought I would use it like this.

But as expected, Leonard is a scary guy.

Gargul Wyvern is a rare species famous for flying very high.

How on earth did you cause such injuries?

Is he really crazy?

How on earth can you stop a guy like that?

Suddenly, Emeric remembered what Calliope said as she was dying.

Don’t touch Leonard anymore and live quietly as if he were dead.

But now the situation is going very unusually.

4 The princess is trying her tricks to make Emeric encounter Leonard.

Perhaps being killed by Leonard is what the 4th princess wants.

Judging by the 4th princess’s attitude so far, it appears that she not only knows that it was Leonard who killed the archdemon, but also has some understanding of her sexual intercourse with the 3rd prince.

The 3rd prince and 4th princess are practically fighting for the position of next emperor.

It is safe to say that her 3rd prince is plotting to prevent her from gaining support by recruiting members of her punitive force and placing them in various important positions in her empire.

Clearly, the Emperor’s order to send Isidor to the Death Knight incident on the Plains of Tancred was instigated by the 4th Princess.

The 4th princess is a very cunning and smart woman.

The 3rd prince, who is somewhat less capable, will not be able to properly deal with the 4th princess, so Emeric is walking a very precarious tightrope right now.

Calliope regretted it only before she died and advised him not to touch Leonard, but the princess would not let that happen.

He will do his best to somehow throw me into Leonard’s blade.

In that case, the action Emeric must take right now has been decided.

First of all, we must commit the grave sin of plastering Leonard, put out the fire, and find a way to respond to the 4th princess.

If he were to become the captain of the imperial castle guard, Emeric is even considering extreme measures such as collaborating with the 3rd prince to stage a coup and arresting the 4th princess.

Anyway, the rest of the princes will fully support the 3rd prince to preserve their lives as long as he speaks well, so if only the 4th princess is killed…

No, before that, we will first have to resolve the unidentified harem created by the 4th princess.

On the surface, it’s a promiscuous harem with no distinction between men and women, but I’m guessing…

At that time, I heard someone walking through the bushes and coming towards me.

Is it Leonard?!

A nervous Emeric turned his head in the direction he heard the sound, preparing to tear the scroll.

A tall woman wearing silver full body armor appeared.

“It flew so far.”

The woman who saw the wyvern’s corpse tilted her head.

“How did the head get cut off so cleanly?”

The woman, who was scratching her head and looking around, met Emeric’s eyes.

“Huh? Who are you?”

“I am an empire…”

Emeric, who was about to introduce himself, trailed off and looked at the woman’s hand her her her her.

There was a hammer of such enormous size that it was impossible to believe that a human could wield it.

A tall female warrior wearing full body armor and holding a huge hammer.

No way… Leonard’s guild member who made Calliope like that… !?

“Who are you?”

The woman asked again, but Emeric could not open his mouth.

It was because of the tremendous intimidation that emanated from the guild members I actually encountered.

The woman had a very pretty and playful expression, but Emeric knew with her intuition that that was not what she was all about.

It is extremely dangerous.

“People died too.”

When Emeric did not respond, the woman looked elsewhere and discovered the wizard’s corpse with only the lower body remaining.

“Hmm.”

The woman, lost in thought for a moment, snapped her fingers.

“I guess you’re a wandering adventurer? You accidentally run into an injured wyvern, your companion dies, and you barely defeat it. Is that right?”

As Emeric nodded his head, the woman looked him up and down.

“Beheading a Gargul wyvern with a single sword doesn’t seem like an ordinary feat. You’re not even wearing armor and wearing casual clothes. Who are you really?”

“Lucene! Did you find it?!”

A familiar voice came from beyond the forest. It was Leonard’s voice.

“Here! But there’s someone!”

“Who is it?”

“They say he’s a wandering adventurer, but it’s a bit suspicious!”

“Going now!”

The woman laughed, pointing to her back with her thumb.

“Guild Secretary. I’m hunting a wyvern, and I’m looking for someone who fell after being fatally wounded.”

But Emeric did not listen to the woman’s words.

Leonard That guy is coming here now?

From a distance where you can hear voices?

“Let’s talk about it when the manager comes. We caught them all, but he was the one who took the last breath, so I guess… Huh? Where did he go?”

Emeric, who tore the return magic scroll, stumbled and fell in front of the knights’ headquarters.

“Captain?”

Several knights passing by hurried over and helped Emeric up.

“It’s okay. Go and take care of things.”

Emeric wiped the sweat from his forehead with his trembling hands as he defeated the knights supporting him.

Damn it.

In the end, I ran away without even being able to say a word to Leonard.

But I couldn’t help it.

I didn’t have the confidence to face a demon hunter with bad feelings towards me and a crazy warrior who turns people into meat paste in a remote forest.

Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to report falsely to the 4th princess.

He met Leonard and had a smooth conversation.

She 4 There is no way the princess would personally confirm the facts with Leonard, and that crazy bastard, Patrick, would not bother to reveal his identity and ask Leonard about me.

Okay. Let’s do that for now.

* * * * *

“Wow, what is this?”

When I saw the sharply cut off body of the wyvern, with only the head and lower body remaining, I looked back at Lucene.

“What is this?”

“I think the wandering adventurer did this earlier. That corpse is a colleague.”

“Really? The wandering adventurer who cut off the Gargul Wyvern’s head? Where is he?”

“It’s gone.”

Lucene shrugged her shoulders at my gaze.

“It’s true. He suddenly disappeared. He said the guild manager was coming and while he was looking in your direction for a moment, boom, he said.”

“Hmm, really?”

If Lucene’s senses hadn’t noticed it, it wouldn’t have disappeared on foot.

I approached the lower body lying on the floor and looked closely at the clothes.

Judging by the remaining hem of his robe, he appears to be a wizard.

“What does that person look like?”

“It was a young man with blond hair and sharp eyes. His clothes were plain, but he looked extremely expensive.”

“The knife looked expensive?”

When Lucene describes the appearance of the knife, I can recognize what the knife is.

The treasured sword of the Imperial Knight Commander.

Then, is that wandering adventurer Emeric?

He can easily kill a Gargul Wyvern.

But how on earth did a guy like the commander of the Imperial Knights wander around with a wizard in a mountain valley like this?

And where did he disappear?

I guess I need to track it down.

“Lucene. Wait a minute.”

He sat down on his knees and activated his blind gaze.My vision became dark and all senses other than sight became extremely sensitive.

As soon as I used Blind Gaze, I was able to sense the waves of magical power.

It looks like he used the return magic scroll to leave.

I jumped when I heard my voice responding to Lucene.

Why on earth did you come here, Emeric… ? .

As I slowly got up, feeling bitter, Lucene held my hand.

“Thank you. You’ll see it in a little while…”

Lucene covered my lips and I couldn’t say any more.
