Episode 85

As a demonic sword of light, Enrite was able to sense the energy of other demonic swords.

That’s why I quickly recognized the demonic sword Seran possessed, and quickly discovered the existence of Acid Rain.

However, Hannett had no choice but to be a little flustered because he had only revealed the energy of the magic sword.

“Sister, how… … .”

“Why? Is it because you went out on your own? They… No, isn’t it better than getting injured by the Knights?”

“That’s not what I mean… … .”

Shion couldn’t take her eyes off Hanette.

The magical power of the magic sword was flowing out.

I couldn’t even communicate, but how could I have a demonic sword?

‘Could it be that you got the magic sword before you met me?’

Shion had been watching Hanette since the engagement ceremony.

Harnette usually only went to and from bars or gambling houses, and an escort driver was always by her side.

Even if he communicated with the demonic sword, he wouldn’t be able to move separately.

‘The magic of the magic sword is disappearing.’

The golden-yellow eyes slowly turned to light brown.

Harnette retracted her mana and showed a satisfied smile.

“Did you see it? Is it just once?”

The zombies that were fighting the Sillaz Knights were nowhere to be found.

There was only pitch-black ashes all around, and only a foul smell wafted out.

“… sister! What if I suddenly use magic?”

“You don’t believe me?”

“You have to protect what you want to protect! And if an ally gets hurt… … .”

“The distance was wide with the soldiers. The Templars were just trying to get close. Could it be that I used magic without thinking?”

Hannett had been contemplating when to step in while observing the battle.

Even if left as it is, it would fight on its own, but there was no reason to waste time.

It happened that he had to show his skills to the Silreys Knights, so he organized them all at once.

“I was going to ask you, but good conditions were created, so I went ahead and looked at it. Isn’t this enough?”

“So I mean… after… … .”

It wasn’t because I didn’t know.

I know what the intention was, but I had no choice but to point it out because the direction was wrong.

The honor of the two families was at stake in this order of knights, and it was directly related to the safety of Hanette.

“I don’t think you’re wrong, sister. It’s better to finish the demon subjugation quickly. You know what’s wrong though?”

“Right, the order is wrong.”

“From now on, I want you to ask me for permission first.”

Shion made a short request and met eyes with Enrite.

It was as if he was asking for an explanation as to what had happened.

But there was nothing I could do differently for myself.

‘Then from the time I saw the mage screening… … .’

Harnette did not show any signs until she was judged as a mage.

He just learned magic belatedly while possessing outstanding talent.

Perhaps he awakened the power of the demonic sword while being stimulated little by little through training.

‘Why didn’t I recognize him?’

The demonic sword of darkness could detect the existence of other demonic swords as well as the demonic sword of light.

If Hannette had a magic sword, she would have reacted from the beginning.

However, Acid Rain had finally conveyed that sense for the first time, and now there was no trace of it.

‘Even the white apostle noticed now. Are there any conditions?’

As of now, nothing was known.

Because it was completely different from what he knew in the first place.

Maybe the flame magic sword has a different setting like Harnett.

‘There is a mixture of right and wrong parts. So… … .’

A closer look raises a number of questions.

Why Hanette had to die, how Hannett got the flame demon sword, what happens to the flame demon sword after Hannett dies, etc.

What variables will these factors bring later?

‘Because I have to consider the flame magic sword… … .’

“Is this so wrong?”

“It’s nothing serious. No one was hurt, so if you talk well, you can get over it.”

“Looking at what you’re doing, it seems very wrong.”

“What did I do?”

“You keep thinking.”

“… I was thinking of something else.”

“I don’t think so… … .”

“Whoa… … .”

The Silreys Knights were looking at themselves and Hanette at some point.

Although the beast subjugation ended early, it seemed like a long conversation would come and go.

Because neither he nor Enrite could understand this phenomenon.

‘It’s changing little by little. What’s hiding from Harnette?’

* * *

The remote area of the Alain Kingdom, a temporary campsite.

If you can’t get into the castle, you’ll find a safe place to camp.

Although demon beasts did not appear because they stayed within the territory of the Alain Kingdom, thieves or mercenaries could attack them.

Of course, it could be done by setting up a vigil, but it was not a perfect response.

In general, there were many times when he chose to somehow enter the castle before nightfall or camp with the troops of the Kingdom of Allain.

“Oh, I liked being in the castle.”

“Whether you sleep long or late, that’s it. Think good.”

“Unlike you, I need to get a good night’s sleep to show my skills.”

“When have we always slept well? If you’re going to say something like that, you should get out of the Knights.”

“It is a start again. Then we will fight, so be quiet.”

The members of the Sillays Knights were having dinner in their respective seats.

Serran and Enrite came out separately and joined the Knights of Lihines.

Perhaps they were discussing what happened today or future plans.

“It was kind of awesome, though.”

“There was a reason for pulling the strong knights out.”

“If you uselessly waste your energy, you won’t be able to come out when you need it.”

“How do you use magic there? What if we get caught?”

“I wish I hadn’t gotten caught up in it.”

“Didn’t I write it knowingly? If you become a mage, you will get a feel for it.”

“but… … .”

“Because not everyone gets the title of mage.”

Because the lieutenant commander of the Lihines Knights came forward and gave it to me, I was able to finish the subjugation quickly.

They had to risk their lives to fight, but the deputy commander had only used magic once.

The magic beasts burned in an instant and turned into a dark lump.

“How do you see it? I know it’s strong, but I don’t know anything… … .”

“You can see that it is very good. Not to mention the power and activation speed, the precision is very high. Considering the distance and range, the level is unpredictable.”

“All the compliments come out of your mouth.”

“It’s not easy even if you’re a mage. Manipulating dozens of flames one by one… No, hundreds? It gets even more difficult considering the size.”

“Are you that great?”

“You can’t compare me. If you became a mage at that age, it’s worth aiming for an archmage.”

The knights are interested in the word archmage.

Since he had already obtained the title of mage, his skills were proven.

But how much stronger do you have to be to get a title that goes beyond that?

“Hmm… Is that why you came to the outskirts with your husband?”

“husband? Are you talking about your fiancé?”

“I don’t know. If you’re married, you’re a couple, and if you’re not, you’re dating each other.”

“Tsk! Do aristocratic marriages seem so simple? Engagement and marriage are different.”

“If you like it, you get married, or if you don’t, you don’t. What do you find difficult?”

“It’s not a marriage I like… after… What can I say?”

The knights looked at each other and glanced in the direction where the Lihines knights were.

I had heard rumors about the engagement of nobles, but it was only now that I met the parties for the first time.

That’s why I couldn’t help but feel a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

‘He’s doing that again. I’m not taking it lightly, is it?’

Harnette noticed the gaze and glared at the knights.

Seeing his own ability, he couldn’t have ignored it openly.

Of course, she could bring up the fact that she was the daughter of a duke, but it wasn’t a good way.

Because they will value strength and performance more than status and authority.

“Oh, we met eyes!”

“What are you looking at?”

“I have a feeling.”

“Huh… You’re being bold.”

“What are you looking at? If they were going to notice us, they wouldn’t have followed us.”

After being pointed out, the knights focus on eating again.

Hannette belatedly turned her head after seeing the scene.

“Thank you for helping us with the subjugation. Thanks to that, I was able to finish it quickly.”

“Yes? Oh, no. I don’t know if I didn’t come out for nothing.”

“I was a little surprised. I didn’t expect you to help me out of nowhere.”

Saeran smiles brightly and remembers the sensation.

Clearly, Harnette had a magic sword like herself.

I didn’t feel that sensation now, but I’d be able to face it again later.

“I was a bit surprised too. He handled magic quite well.”

Enrite cautiously intervened in the conversation, trying to feel the sensation again.

However, the magic sword’s energy did not remain anywhere, and instead, the presence of Acid Rain only deepened.

“That… is that so? Next time, I’ll tell you in advance and then I’ll do it.”

“You seem to be in a lot of danger. Even our knights lack a lot… … .”

“Oh no! I just came because I thought it would help. Even if I hadn’t been there, you would have finished the subjugation well.”

Hannette secretly touches Shion’s arm in embarrassment.

If the Sillaz Knights really looked like they were in danger, Shion would have stepped in first.

He just wanted to prove his skills by showing Shion that he could do better.

However, if she said it that way, only she and Shion would be in trouble.

“… We don’t have enough experience fighting demons. So I tried to get used to the atmosphere while watching the battle. But right now I’m living with the Sillaz Knights, can’t I just watch them fight? I thought I should help, so I gave a separate order.”

Shion even lied and hid Hanette’s fault.

As the leader of the knights, the leader of the knights had to manage the members of the knights.

If a member of the guild commits a crime, it will be related to the guild, and it will also affect the commander of the guild.

In addition, Hannette was also her fiancé, so she had to help her no matter what.

“Ah, that was a favor. If that’s the case, our knights will understand.”

Enrite had no intention of arguing right or wrong now.

No one was hurt, and all the monsters were destroyed in an instant.

As a result, the Knights under his command, including Serran, would positively accept the alliance with the Lihines Knights.

‘… This must also be fate.’

While I was away for a while, the demonic sword of darkness and the demonic sword of flame came together.

It was a relationship that originated from an arranged marriage, but in the end, it was close to meeting destiny.

Originally, I was going to lean on Saeran Silage, but I wondered if I could see another possibility, albeit belatedly.

‘Shion Reggieard might be able to handle me.’
