Wow-.
A salty sea breeze blew. A salty air wafts along the tip of my nose, and then the sails open wide to ride the wind.
Tailwind.
The sight of more than twenty large sailing ships sailing in a row was a sight that could only be described as spectacular.
The pirates controlling the area were also overwhelmed by its power and did not dare to approach it.
But guess what?
Rather than not being able to approach them, their lives were saved. Of course, it is a ship located at the forefront of the fleet.
The one riding on it is the king of the beastmen. Because it was the Beast King Muyaho.
Naval combat was no problem for her, who could jump hundreds of meters between ships in a single leap.
In addition, it had the ability to float on the water with just a small float, thanks to its light and mysterious movements.
Wow-.
The wind blew again, blowing the gray hair of the Muya sitting on the bow.
Every time, the ears that stick up keep twitching.
“Hehehe, hehehe.”
Her tail moved softly along with a light hum, followed by a bit of forsythia in her mouth.
Seeing this, a middle-aged man in a blue uniform muttered while smoothing his mustache.
“The King of Beasts seems to be in a very good mood today.”
Nailson, the kingdom’s earl and admiral of the maritime fleet who volunteered to help the beast people migrate from Endymion.
“haha. “Isn’t that how excited you are?”
A beastman elder who was walking next to Wooyeon responded to his words.
“Most of the beast people are like that, but this is the first time the beast king has left the island. “If you are a warrior of the beast race, it is natural for your heart to pound at the presence of so many strong people on the continent.”
Indeed, they say they are a race of warriors. Nailson lowered his head as if he understood to some extent even if he didn’t completely understand, but the elder’s words were not over yet.
“More than anything, there’s that guy on the continent—.”
“If that guy… … ?”
Nailson, unable to overcome his curiosity, was about to question what was happening. A sailor raised his voice.
“I can see it!”
The cry of a sailor who was looking ahead with a telescope from a high place.
“I can see land!”
Just as he said, land was visible.
.
.
That time.
Russell and Alan were spending time playing chess in a port town located in the southern part of the kingdom, waiting for the fleet carrying the beastmen to arrive.
Kkiluk, kiluk-.
Through the open window, I see a pure white seagull flapping its wings, using the sky and the sea as its canvas.
Tap, tap-.
Alan sighed briefly, tapping his fingers on the table.
“Hmm… … .”
For a moment, he picked up the black knight on the chessboard and placed it forward.
widely-.
At the same time, the flow of magical power that started from the knight slowly begins to dominate the chessboard.
Wow-.
Not ordinary chess, but wizard chess.
Each position on the chessboard and each piece had its own unique pattern, so it was a chess game for wizards who used them to control the board.
Depending on where you place the object, the flow of magical power changes dramatically.
It was a chess game that required not only strategy but also excellent magic skills, as it had to take into account not only the board but also the synchrony or repulsion between pieces.
In that sense, Allen’s move just now was not a bad move.
but.
chuck-.
Alan’s eyes twitched and moved as Russell continued to move.
‘It was a move that took a lot of thought… … .’
Russell broke Allen’s flow by simply moving one phone.
Not only that, but he even took the initiative in magical power.
Alan’s brow furrowed deeply as he heard the number coming in while he was breathing. After that, several more fights followed.
“after… … .”
Alan placed the chess piece he was holding on the outside of the board.
No matter how hard I tried my head, I couldn’t see a gap through which I could get through that flow.
“I lost. “Your Majesty the Archduke.”
Rather than the difference in chess skill, it was more fundamental than the difference in skill as a magician that decided the winner.
Alan complained slightly, feeling as if he had once again confirmed the gap with him.
‘Now, I really have no choice but to admit it.’
Even though they were once rivals who instilled a desire to improve each other, Russell is now far ahead of him.
Acknowledging it wasn’t as difficult as I thought. Maybe it’s because I’ve had that thought in the back of my mind for a long time.
To be honest, he was also a man worthy of respect as a wizard.

Russell muttered with an embarrassed expression, perhaps knowing what Alan was thinking.
“The expression ‘His Highness’ is a bit… … .”
It wasn’t wrong, but hearing something like that from Alan made me feel embarrassed.
Seeing Russell like that, Alan chuckled.
“If you are uncomfortable with His Highness, may I call you His Excellency the Duke?”
Unlike himself, who had been a freelancer for several years before returning, he may have been more thorough in this regard because he came from a great noble family.
Still, ‘Your Excellency’ sounded a little better than ‘Your Highness,’ so Russell smiled and nodded.
“I think that would be better.”
Just as I was trying to clean up the board and organize the pieces to play chess again.
Puuuuuuu-.
The sound of a boat horn was heard from outside.
Far beyond the horizon, a fleet of twenty ships was approaching the land.
.
.
Shoot, slam.
Shoot, bang, bang─.
A dockside where pure white waves repeatedly create spray and then disappear.
Puuuuuu-.
There, the sound of the boat horn rang loudly once again.
Russell then lightly stepped on the ground as he saw about twenty sailboats rushing in.
thud-.
At the same time, a powerful wave of magic spreads throughout the area.
Tapping using magical power, an art also called Jin-gak (震脚) among some martial artists.
“All in line! Everyone stay in your place!”
At the same time, the knights and soldiers who had been standing behind Russell came forward all at once.
Cheokcheok-.
There are many rumors and stories about the beast people, but strictly speaking, they are a mysterious race that is not yet familiar with the continent.
As many as 20,000 such beastmen are immigrating.
‘There… … .’
Where did the rumor spread? The port was already crowded everywhere with people flocking to see the beastmen.
It meant that something unexpected might happen.
And, Yubi Muhwan. The knights and soldiers who stepped forward now were troops provided by the royal family to prevent such a situation.
Cheokcheok-.
Left and right, knights and soldiers divide into two lines, creating a wall between the crowds.
About ten minutes later, before the ship reached the port, a figure jumped up from the bow.
Like a flying bird, it jumped high into the air and leaped towards Russell.
The leaping power that can cover a distance of over hundreds of meters with just one step.
Russell smiled bitterly and slowly raised his magic power.
If you leave it alone to land from that height, the shock wave will spread around you.
‘I can’t leave it like that.’
As soon as Russell’s magic is ready, boom!
The owner of the flying seal landed on the ground. For a moment, the ground shook lightly, and boisterous laughter poured out of it.
“Kyahahahaha! It’s been a while. c*ck!”
Gray hair and skin color as if it were covered with melted chocolate. Engraved on it are the wounds from countless fierce battles and crossing the line of fire.
Beast King Muyaho.
Russell smiled faintly when she finally appeared.
“You’re still the same. Muyaho.”
“What am I? It’s always the same. Rather… … .”
As she was talking, her tone suddenly changed.
“You’ve gotten stronger in the meantime.”
With his three hundred eyes shining sharply, he lightly scanned Russell’s whole body and muttered meaningfully.
“The male’s scent has become stronger.”
Crunch-.
The sound of bones echoes as the fists are clenched.
The speculation that flowed enveloped the area.
Gooooooo-.
“If it’s okay, shall we take a look at your skills here?”
At her words, Russell groaned with an embarrassed expression.
“I’d like you to take a closer look this time.”
“… … ?”
“Because this is a patient.”
“ring… … ruler?”
Where does it hurt? c*ck? Muyaho, who was about to ask again, nodded his head.
“Ah. surely. patient. “That’s not wrong.”
He said, immediately understanding Russell’s situation.
“Seeing as the inside and outside are not yet completely balanced, it seems like I have just recently crossed the border.”
“It’s a shame, but it is.”
“Well, then there’s nothing we can do. “Let’s leave this fight for the next fun.”
Even though he said that, he couldn’t let go of his regrets, and out of regret, Russell asked her to regain his appetite.
“More than that, Muyaho. “If it’s okay with you, could you please stop speculating a little?”
“Huh?”
Compared to a wizard, he is almost as strong as the 8th circle. Such a strong man spread his speculations at random.
‘It won’t be easy for ordinary people, soldiers, or even well-trained knights to withstand it.’
In fact, among the citizens watching nearby, some with weak walls were gasping for breath.
If you leave it like that, you will soon start to foam up and faint.
“Uh, um. “I can’t help it.”
It might be Kuril, a race of warriors, full of beastmen, but this place was Endymion.
Even she knew very well that there was no benefit in causing inconvenience to renting land.
Muyaho, who had shrugged his shoulders and regained his momentum, looked behind Russell and asked.
“But who is the male over there?”
“Oh, this is Sir Alan Page. “He is the second son of the Count Page and now serves as my lieutenant.”
“My name is Alan Page.”
“Hmm. He’s a lieutenant… … .”
Although he is not a superhuman, Alan Page is also a powerhouse of the 6th circle. Maybe he feels a bit of a sense of victory for him too?
Considering his level when he first met her, that seemed unlikely.
But what?
“hmm.”
Muyaho scratched his head with a strange expression, tilted his head and muttered.
“Something weird?”
“… … “What do you mean?”
“They certainly seem to be as skilled as the four guys I saw when I first met them, but strangely, the male’s scent doesn’t seem that strong.”
What on earth is that ‘male scent’? Several thoughts passed through Russell’s dumbfounded mind.
The thoughts that were passing by begin to fit together one by one, like pieces of a puzzle.
‘Now that I think about it, there was a story that Fenrir, the first Beast King, was a half-blood of a fire dragon.’
Moreover, as described in the records, Fenrir was also a wolf beast with gray fur.
And Muyaho is also a wolf beast with gray hair and tail fur.
What if Muyaho is a beast that inherits Fenrir’s blood?
What if that means the dragon’s kindness resides in her body?
Russell’s eyes sank deeply.
Muyaho looked at that gaze─.
“Huh?”
─I just looked at Russell as if I didn’t know anything.
