355. Holy Wind (6)
“Lord Kurt. “It seems like there’s no one left nearby now.”
Kurt nodded in response to a report from a resident engineer.
‘I guess I’ll have to finish it soon.’
As instructed by Prince Mores, he led the resident knights down the mountain and immediately helped the residents of the territory and members of the hunting club evacuate.
The main text of the resident knights is the protection of the prince. However, Prince Mores’ will is so strong, and he has Sir Martha, the former head of the Royal Guard, by his side.
‘Still, the casualties are extremely low compared to disasters.’
He breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that the evacuation to the last farmhouse was complete.
The demon species appeared in a hunting ground on the outskirts of the territory. Except for some farmland, it was a sparsely populated area with mostly forests.
Except for one woodcutter whose life or death was unknown after being swept away by the collapsing mountain, the damage to Yeongjimin that has been identified so far has been almost non-existent.
The only variable was that there was a hunting camp for imperial officials nearby.
However, considering that the camp was immediately swept away by a landslide, their evacuation was also timely. Perhaps it was because they had prepared in advance to withdraw to move their hunting grounds.
Where is that?
Thanks to the fact that the prince’s maid rushed to the scene of the accident, filling the carriage with the remaining residents, there were virtually no casualties. Considering the scale of the disaster that had struck, it was almost a miracle.
‘I was just getting ready to withdraw, and there was an empty carriage at the camp… … .’
At that moment, the image of Prince Mores, who was insisting on taking the carriage up to the mountain retreat, flashed in Sir Kurt’s mind.
‘no way?’
Did you anticipate that things would turn out like this?
No, but could it be? How on earth does he know about the demon species that showed up without warning?
‘hmm? Now that I think about it, the reason I wanted to move my hunting ground in the first place… … .’
If you think about it, wasn’t it because of Prince Mores, who unleashed his resident knights to disrupt the hunting party and wipe out all the game?
… No, wait a minute. Really?
Is this really… … ?
“Lord Kurt!”
What cut off Kurt’s thoughts was the voice of Sir Claudia urgently calling him.
“hurry up, please! “We delayed the rescue too long!”
“… Sir Claudia.”
“We have to find him quickly!”
You mean ‘we’? Kurt was dumbfounded by that blind attitude.
In his view, Sir Claudia’s loyalty seemed increasingly bizarre. It’s been a while since he woke up and he started following the 3rd prince as if he was possessed by something, but now he gets anxious whenever he leaves even for a moment, just like a dog that lost its owner!
“By now, your Majesty may be rushing to fight the demon species alone again!”
No way, no matter how reckless the prince is, there is no way he would do something like that.
But didn’t Lord Calmen, who had been standing quietly next to him, suddenly say something like this?
“Oh, I guess so. “It would be best to find him and stop him before he causes more trouble, Sir Kurt.”
Is this guy joking? Kurt looked at his face suspiciously, but surprisingly, Lord Calmen seemed more serious.
Rather, it was Sir Claudia who angrily protested those words.
“Lord Calmen! Don’t say such blasphemous things! “I don’t cause accidents!”
“what? “Isn’t it an accident to run into a demon species alone?”
“no! “We are just brave!”
“okay. “Let’s be brave and go quickly before something happens.”
“profit!”
However, even though there was a slight difference in temperature, the two people walking long distance were stamping their feet in the same nervousness. If they delay here just a little bit, they will rush off to find Hae-ho among themselves.
In the end, Sir Kurt quickly began to gather the resident knights.
“Let go of this! “I have to go back to camp!”
“Count! You can’t do this! It’s dangerous! The rescue team will be there soon… … !”
It was time for Sir Kurt to rush off on horseback with his resident knights. From afar, I could see the Earl of Bathurst screaming, surrounded by his knights.
“I told you to let me go! “Then it’s too late!”
Oh, by the way, the only casualty in the camp was the Countess of Bathurst. She was told she was swept along when the landslide occurred.
“You have to go and save your wife! ma’am! Bui-in!”
They looked like an ordinary married couple, but it seems Geumseul was better than I thought.
As I clicked my tongue as I caught a glimpse of the count’s pitiful appearance, I saw Sir Claudia spurring her words even further next to me.
“It’s dangerous after all! I wasn’t sending you off alone… . I should have been by your side until the end… … .”
Hee hee hee!
The horse that had been kicked hard gave a loud neigh and began to overtake Sir Kurt.
But this time, there was an unexpected sight. With an expression full of dissatisfaction, Sir Calmen began following closely behind her.
“I go first, Sir Kurt. If you leave that kid alone, what kind of crazy things will he do? … .”
“… … ?”
Kurt blinked.
No, putting aside his profane self-talk, is he really worried about Prince Mores right now? really?
‘It’s Sir Claudia, but. Lord Calmen, weren’t you anxious not long ago because you couldn’t catch the 3rd prince?’
Meanwhile, the two people began to jump forward and widen the gap between them. The figure looked the same as if it had been taken out of a frame, so Kurt involuntarily tilted his head to the side.
“Since when did they get along so well together?”
It was when I was following the two people who were so cluelessly ahead of me with my eyes. Sir Kurt suddenly felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
“… … ?”
someday.
A long time ago, someday.
Didn’t he run after those two people with such urgency even back then?
Weeeeeee… … .

Along with a strange tinnitus, I felt like my vision was blurring for a moment. No, rather than blurred vision, it is confusion and vertigo caused by the sight in front of your eyes overlapping with another image in your memory.
The two people ahead of him at that time seemed to be wearing formal armor rather than a Royal Guard uniform.
A cloak with the symbol of the Holy Empire clearly engraved on it, fluttering in the wind. And the place where they were heading towards the horse’s head was not that whirlpool of black magic energy, but a rain of countless arrows… … .
“Lord Kurt!”
Kurt suddenly came to his senses when he heard someone shouting from behind him. While he was dazed, the other resident knights were ahead of him one by one.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Are you okay?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Sir Kurt shook his head to dispel the dizzying thoughts. A sense of reality quickly set in, and the strange sense of déjà vu completely disappeared from his mind.
“This is not the time. Magi’s movements are unusual. “Let’s hurry!”
“Hey!”
Hee hee! Hee hee hee!
As he spoke, the sound of spurs could be heard here and there, and the speed of the resident knights began to increase even more.
When they hurriedly arrived at Prince Mores, they witnessed an unbelievable sight.
“… Lowering?”
A demonic species that is divided into countless pieces of flesh and moves like a storm.
In response to this, the Lilium Detachment is deploying a massive sacred barrier with only a small number of people.
Everything was beyond imagination, but where could it be compared to Prince Mores?
“… Auror Blade?”
Now, their young prince was already wielding the Auror Blade at a level that was far beyond that of a high-ranking knight!
“Auror materialization… … !”
Where is that? Running through the battlefield, freely driving a huge wolf dog, with a wind so strong that it was clearly visible to the eye!
The legend of the first emperor, who fought against monsters and ended the era of the three ancient dragons, could not be this grand. It was literally as if a scene from an old myth had been vividly recreated before my eyes.
“Stay back! “The demon energy is strong, so stay outside the barrier!”
After being stopped by the Lilium Paladins, they could only stare blankly at the prince outside the sacred barrier.
“… look. Someone causes an accident… “As expected, we are great!”
How long has it been like that? Kurt came to his senses when he heard Lord Claudia’s overwhelming voice.
Now is not the time.
Although it was difficult for them to directly deal with the demonic species due to their lack of divine power, they still had to assist and line up the Paladins of Lilium.
“Come on, everyone, come to your senses!”
Sir Kurt shouted and urged the resident knights.
It’s embarrassing to look at other articles, so please don’t make faces that look like you’re clearly in love!
Especially Lord Calmen! Even though Sir Claudia is like that, seeing you like that, Calmen, somehow gives me goosebumps!
* * *
‘Is the end in sight?’
Reinforcements will come soon. Feeling such a strong premonition, Seongjin looked around.
Fortunately, the flesh of the demon species that was spreading out randomly did not go far beyond the open barrier. This is thanks to Seongjin diligently looking everywhere and driving them away.
Because the range was so wide, there were some pieces of flesh that were sometimes missed, but each time, Logan fired his sword energy from afar and hit them appropriately. Even from that far away, the power of the Aura explosion did not kill him at all, so there was no such thing as a monster.
‘Anyway, even if you ask the secret, Aurors will naturally be drawn to where the gaze goes, so they’ll just say something nonsense like getting out of hand but not getting out of it.’
By that time, the movements of the demon species that had been running wild were gradually changing. It seemed like they were becoming more and more confused as they were stopped by Seongjin.
-[I] am a high-ranking devil. He had power comparable to that of a low-ranking demon lord!
-What’s the use of it all? [I] failed anyway.
-It’s too early to talk about failure. [I] am still free.
-Ah, but I feel a stronger force than [me] around here! If only I could be with him… … !
-It goes against [my] will! This is impossible!
-Why not? [I] already gave up on [me]… … !
That was the way the demon lord roughly conveyed their thoughts.
For some reason, as time passes, it seems like the flesh moving as one body is gradually losing its unity.
Strongly-
Conscious of the pain in his eyes getting worse, Seongjin raised the aura to his chest again. Still, would it be a good thing if their movements gradually slowed down and the number of rising lines decreased significantly?
[Lee Seong-jin.]
At that time, the Demon King seemed anxious and called Seongjin.
[The atmosphere they have is somehow strange.]
‘huh?’
[I guess the time we were divided was too long. I don’t think it would be difficult to see them as one entity anymore?]
At the same time-
Stand tall.
The flesh of the demon species that was stuck together like a snake suddenly stopped moving.
“… … ?”
Paaaa-!
Then they suddenly lost their focus and began to scatter helplessly in the air. A dizzying sight, as if there were dust.
[Have we finally given up resistance completely?]
The Demon King was pleased, but Seongjin was shocked and held the nutcracker. Because his premonition began to sound a dangerous alarm like never before.
Hwii-
Scattered pieces of flesh flutter helplessly in the wind.
The problem started from then. Each and every piece of flesh that fell off flew toward Seongjin as if it had its own individual will.
“… … !”
My vision, which had been tracking thousands or tens of thousands of movements one by one, was suddenly covered with silver lines and turned completely white. At that moment, a terrible pain arose in my eyes.
Seongjin urgently disconnected from the devil. However, it was too late, and the already severely damaged optic nerve did not recover immediately.
It was a disaster.
-okay. [I] have already changed. Isn’t it [me] as originally specified in the code?
-Since you are reborn, you can be reborn as a different being again and again!
-Then, it is better to do it with a stronger ‘power’… … !
-Let’s become a new and stronger [me]!
Since my senses with the Demon Lord were completely blocked, I couldn’t understand their thoughts one by one.
However, just from the mere sight of the flesh coming, Seongjin could vividly feel their strong will.
‘this… … !’
Things that have no power and are just dust or air. There is no way to stop such things from coming in from all directions.
Seongjin hurriedly raised the aura to his chest again and covered Max with the trick of ‘opening a small sword curtain’.
“… … !?”
Right then.
Seongjin trembled at the strange sensation he had never felt before.
‘… ‘Isn’t it strange?’
These are all your father’s auras, right?
He’s a good auror who is improving my eye condition and protecting my body.
But why is my chest, where the aura is filled, getting so hot as if it were burning?
