128 – Knights who swallowed monsters (12)
Time passed just like that.
The knights who were talking about immortality fell silent one by one like buds in winter, and did not bring up the story. I thought the season had passed with the tragedy that befell the Templars. Even when we are mired in tragedy, the world turns and we have to move with the flow.
If you move like that, sadness and suffering will all turn into a momentary nostalgia. I thought that all the knights, like me, had sent the captain away as calmly as I did.
The story of immortality is just a ridiculous joke, and in the end, we realized that we are a knighthood that must continue to lay down our lives for the honor and glory of the country.
But it wasn’t. I… … . i don’t… … . Tragedy came even at the moment when it was severe.
……Can I have a drink of water? My throat is burning. Let’s have a drink and talk.
thank you. Miss Lena.
Yes. That’s much better.
So… … . what day it was Don’t you know the specific date well? Yes. It was ‘that day’.
On guard duty, I was leaving the capital and crossing the plains. There were no soldiers. I was alone on horseback and kept running for my mission. Someone called me from behind.
When I turned my head, I saw a wounded guardsman riding a horse. He was covered in blood and his armor was in tatters. Seeing as if a rebellion had broken out inside, I hardened my face and said,
[What’s going on?]
[This is betrayal! The knights betrayed… … ! Called the devil! Demons will descend on the capital!]
I couldn’t understand the sound. It was because the capital stood in a beautiful light over the shoulders of the guardsmen. I tried to ask the guardsman what he was talking about, but he let out a scream and the guardsman died.
I was so tired and hurt that I couldn’t help it.
The Royal Guard died and the world turned dark. In the sky, dark clouds swirled around like a whirlwind, creating a huge circle, and chunks of pitch-black darkness came out with crimson shadows.
I saw Huge masses of darkness, wriggling as if they were alive, swept over the capital, leaping over the city walls and engulfing everything around it.
The people caught in it turned into magic crystals on the spot, and I ran away on horseback. There was no time to tell anyone to run away. just keep going. I just wanted to keep running outside and get out of this situation.

Now that I think about it, I’m not sure what I would have done.
Maybe there are other things I can do.
Maybe I just ran away because I didn’t want to accept the fact that the Knights had betrayed the country.
*****
“This is the end. I was once a knight and a fugitive, and the knights who follow that demon tribe are madmen who sold everything in the empire for eternal gain.”
The warrior looked at me. Neither Lena, Millet, nor Ashria said anything. I closed my eyes and made no expression. In the end, I just remained a coward to the end.
It always has been.
I preferred to run away, I liked to ignore the disadvantages. If I can’t see it, if someone closes their eyes, it will be as if nothing happened.
I was a little more cowardly and ugly than the captain or Muspel thought.
“…I don’t know.”
The warrior’s mouth opened. When I opened my eyes, everyone was looking at me. Ashria was stroking my shoulder while giving me a warm smile. Lena secretly took my hand, and the hero smiled and said.
“After defeating the demon king, I believe we will have a chance to talk about this again. We’ll talk again then. At that time, we will be able to share our hearts a little more honestly.”
I nodded. I forced a smile and thanked the hand for stroking me.
“Yes. All right.”
*****
It was night. The warrior lit a lantern while lying on the bed in the tent assigned to him. Only torches shimmered between the tents, and the soldiers shivered and yawned. One soldier tired of night watch made a joke, and another soldier laughed under his breath.
The hero took a small notebook out of his bag and began to read its contents.
A long time ago, when I interrogated Kiberes, it was a document containing records.
After being handed over to the porter, Kayberes, who became very cooperative, told him everything he knew.
This record contained things that the warrior did not dare to tell the other members.
The hero just wanted to read this record one more time today.
*****
Official: Did you say Kiberes? The eldest daughter of the Lucifer family. I heard it’s a very high family name,
Why are you fighting on the front?
Kiberes: Isn’t the hero also from a well-known family? There was elegance.
Management: Answer only what is asked. Why are you fighting on the front?
Caybereth: Because Damon was the frontline commander. I was that assistant.
And personally, it was because I had a desire to make a contribution.
Management: That’s right. Do you know how to unlock magic stones?
Kiberes: It is directly connected to the body of a commander-level demon.
If you kill them, the magic stones will be released, and the land without magic stones will be
slowly get out of the magi
Management: I know how. Is there any other way to kill it? or make an order
Kiberes: None. Even if such a method exists, it is unknown information from my location.
Official: My husband was a commander, don’t you know? Aren’t you hiding it?
Kiberes: Did my relationship with Damon look so good? Enough to reveal secrets to each other?
Management: Let’s move on to the next question. Who do you think will be the commander after Damon dies?
Kiberes: I don’t know because it’s been a long time since I left the demon castle. Candidates can be selected, but
It is impossible to say with certainty who will be the commander. Who gave the devil what a great strategy
It’s because it depends on how well you put forward and how good you are in politics.
Official: What kind of existence is the Demon King?
Kiberes: The king of demons. He gave us power through demons,
He is the one who has the ambition to rule the world through us.
Management: Can you be more specific? Damon was the devil’s favorite son.
If you were engaged to someone like that, would you have any information?
Kayberes: I can only describe him as a very strong and greedy person.
You may have wanted a weakness or some special strategy or something, but
All I can describe is the appearance.
Because I’ve never had a private conversation, let alone a weakness.
At this point, it’s judged to be useless information, but do you want to hear it?
Management: It would be appreciated if you draw that later. I’ll ask another question.
When fighting the hero, I said that we move according to the contract.
What does that mean?
Kiberes: Literally. We operate according to the contract.
If someone summons the demon king with a contract,
The demon king gives strength to the contractor and raises an army.
Official: Who made the contract?
Kiberes: I don’t know. Anyone in the castle would know, but as soon as I arrived, I prepared for a sortie.
Management: Do you know the contents of the contract?
Kiberes: The content of the contract is not that important. I didn’t even know in the first place.
The important thing is that we came here according to the contract.
Official: You mean fighting without knowing the terms of the contract? For what?
Kiberes: You seem to be misunderstanding something, but this fight is for the demons to get the price of the contract or
It’s not a fight to make a deal. There is only one contract between the demon king and humans.
A human wishing for a wish performs a ceremony to open the door to the demon world, and the demon king returns
fulfills human wishes.
Official: Then what about the battle? What’s the point of this war?
Kiberes: Why would you grant a wish if you only opened the door?
The devil’s purpose is one. By spreading sweet words of granting wishes,
To open a ‘door’ through which troops can be brought to another world.
And to conquer everything by dominating that world one after another.
The Demon King is not a being who grants wishes.
It’s a disaster that takes all that’s left in exchange for one wish.
******
The hero shook his head and turned the page.
An existence that grants wishes, but takes away everything.
It was unpleasant and frightening to hear.
At the very back was the figure of the demon king drawn by Caybereth.
“…I can’t draw.”
