The gaping roof and haystack bedding may be the mercenaries’ timid revenge.
It’s clearing, it’s clearing!
The night sky of the Great Desert of Sternil was beautiful, but the night seen from Nephi was completely different. It’s dark, cloudy and black. There are no stars or moon visible in the night sky. It was dark, as if surrounded by a black cloth.
Gaegane!
“I know.”
I got up from my seat and stretched. Dalby growled and hurriedly chased me. Nephi is a cursed city. The unpleasant daytime routine was, of course, a lie. By night, the city was in complete disaster. I left the house without being noticed by them, climbed onto the roof, and used stealth techniques to hide my presence.
Far away, the demons are coming.
In the mine beyond the dunes –
Demons rush into every hole in a rocky mountain dug by humans.
Where during the day miners were searching for veins and mining ore, now dozens of demons were crawling out of hell and heading toward the city. They moved secretly. It was a strong demon that Nephi, who had no military strength, could not overcome. Demons who were ravenous enough to eat up all the citizens in one night came rushing into the city, spewing out strange instruments.
It’s clearing!
Dalby shouted excitedly. My hair stood up. I grabbed Dalby’s short tail as he tried to run away. I understand, but let’s wait a little longer.
It was a strange sight. Intense malice rose even in the city against the evil outside. A terrible and unpleasant instrument that never fades out, and soon they appear in the dark night street.
They were mercenaries.
Unlike before, their appearance was terrible. The man who lost his teeth after being hit by me turned into a werewolf with thick fangs. A demon with bat wings, a monster with a fish head.
The mercenaries turned into something that resembled the demons I had faced so far. Or maybe they turned into demons I didn’t know about. Someone summoned a demon from the pit. He was a person who manipulated demons like the demon magician of Soleta Island.
They dealt with demon attacks skillfully.
Each person blocked the road into the city and dealt with the demons.
They weren’t the idiots who cried after getting slapped by me. Demons vary from individual to individual, but usually non-intelligent beast-type demons have different levels of danger depending on their size. The demons that attacked the city were all giant demons the size of a house.
Reinberg’s knights’ policy included a rule that a group of knights must cooperate when dealing with a demon several meters tall. This means that five or more knights from the continent’s highest knight order must gather to deal with it. However, the mercenaries were outnumbered against dozens of demons.
Nevertheless.
There was no fear on their faces.
One.
A mercenary confronted him.
“It’s pretty good.”
He knows all of the devil’s ‘weaknesses’. The weaknesses of creatures and demons are very different. Although the head and heart are usually weak points, it doesn’t work at all on some demons. However, they clearly knew the weaknesses of each demon and attacked them.
It was a secret and quick fighting method.
He is extremely skilled at fighting demons.
Perhaps even more than the Knights of Starfall, the Blue Wolves, or the Holy Knights of the Holy See.
So it was a waste.
They are demon magicians.
Those who accept the power of the devil and turn into devils to fight,
There were also those who treated the devil like a familiar.
But in my eyes, they were all no different from the devil.
“Hmm.”
The battle is over.
A landslide victory for mercenaries.
There was less noise compared to a battle, but it was enough to wake up those who were still asleep.
But the city was quiet. As if they had made a promise.
* * *
Demon magicians are actually protecting the city from demons.
I sighed and came down from the roof. And he wandered around the base, deliberately showing off his presence. The mercenary leader, Fahed, returned from the battle and walked towards me.
“I see you’re awake.”
“You have to be able to withstand the stench.”
Fahed’s expression subtly distorted.
It was a dark night, so it was a small movement that I wouldn’t have noticed if it weren’t for my eyes.
“Is it always like this here?”
“The devil attacks once a month.”
“It’s such a big deal.”
I slowly looked around at Nephi and spoke in a ‘concerned voice’.
“A city this size is under threat from demons, hmm. Is speaking with Silaren also a request for help?”
His expression became increasingly subtle.
It seemed like a fierce leopard was laughing.
“Early on, Sternil gave up on us. This is not a request for help. Rather… … .”
Fahed swallowed his last words and brought up another topic.
“You didn’t even eat because of the evening noise. Aren’t you hungry? Treat yourself to a drink… … .”
“I can drink alcohol.”
I shrugged.
“I’m still a minor in this country.”
“haha… “Even jokes.”
* * *
Dalby seemed very displeased with not being able to fight the devil.
I spoke to the guy who was swinging his hoof and shadowboxing while soothing him.
“Dalbi. “Tell them.”
Daa!
“It’s annoying? “This guy.”
I tormented Dalby by ruffling his fur. Dalby, who had been squealing and rolling around when I had her stomach tickled, suddenly turned with a straight face and slapped my cheek with her hoof. It’s the kind of embarrassment that comes from the delicate line between a pet and a friend.

“sorry.”
It’s clearing.
“Oh, please do me a favor. You can do it. huh?”
Gaeganne-
“You want me to pay you for that?”
In the end, the negotiation ended with giving the spirit stone when the work was finished.
Dalbi is loved by Youngsu. Beyond Nephi, there were many spirit beasts in the great desert. Spirit beasts are beings of harmony and do not listen to orders unless they are in a relationship with the magician. Even his father couldn’t treat anyone other than Mac or a close friend. But it’s not Dalby.
For example, the spirit beasts are willing to convey Dalby’s words to those gathered in the eastern city of Kunkan across the great desert and beyond, across the border.
“Tell me. “I’m in ‘Nephi’.”
* * *
Even after the demon attack, the village was equally peaceful.
Except that the funeral was held in an old, shabby house in a remote area.
It was damage that the mercenaries were unable to prevent.
The dead are a grandmother and her granddaughter. two people.
They were poor people who lived on donations from their neighbors.
It was the neighbors who held the funeral, but no one among them cried. He was very detached from death. Rather, the residents’ facial expressions revealed other emotions more than sadness. I could tell without having to look at the Cheonan Tong. They are ‘relieved’. It’s subtle. Those who are eaten by the devil are the weak with no connection.
victim.
no.
I saw it with my own eyes yesterday.
There were obviously no casualties.
The mercenaries killed all the demons at the entrance.
There is no way for victims to occur in such a remote place.
I quietly looked through the window and checked the house where the victims lived.
He was a faithful man.
A ‘morning’ offering to the sun god.
Undry bread and unburned scented candles.
If you think about it, this city was contradictory from the beginning.
Once a month, demons attack.
Nevertheless, city residents did not leave. Even though the most important issue was his right to survive, he did not leave Nepai and lived an affluent life, enough to donate to his poor neighbors. No one steals the luxurious carpets hanging on the exterior walls. The smell of bread never stops from morning to evening. The musician plays.
Lively and exciting music.
They never once played a sad performance.
“It’s a really disgusting neighborhood.”
I turned towards the mine where the demons had crawled out.
* * *
I gained a lot of strength.
Martial arts learned from Lanista, magic obtained through skill, a holy relic that has yet to grasp the strand of power but is sure to contain enormous power, and even the power of a spirit beast. I think that all the powers I have are amazing. I will definitely grow further than I am now, and I cannot dare to predict the end, but perhaps in this life I will achieve the ideal of my aspirations that I could not achieve in my previous life.
Nevertheless.
I can’t even imagine.
No matter how strong I become, will I be able to match the twins’ strength?
Even if you are skeptical, there is nothing you can do. Just when I thought I was getting closer to the power of the transcendental people standing on top of the world, it instead became distant like a star. I still haven’t even figured out the outlines of their powers. For some reason, it remains ‘relatively’ quiet, but if it begins to reveal its power, it will be natural for this world to resemble the Earth of its past life.
A power that cannot be assumed and whose limits are unknown.
That’s not the strength I ‘gained’. Even strong powers can be predicted to a certain extent.
“Where are you hiding?”
But just like them, I also had a certain unimaginable power.
It is not a power gained. It was a power that came to me at some point. The source is unknown. There is no such thing as a principle. I spy on the laws of the world. It goes beyond reason and rationality. Even the absolute rules of time can be glimpsed.
Now I know.
If I were to stand shoulder to shoulder with the twins, it would not be because of any power I gained, but because of this power I was born with. It’s getting a little scary. As my power becomes stronger, this power also reacts. It seemed as if he was revealing his power little by little, as if he was agreeing with him. I hate grand nicknames. I thought that pride was the privilege of those who had it. I, who used to crawl on the bottom, cherish and am grateful for the strength I gained in this life. However, even in this country, from long ago, this power has dared to be called ‘God’, a very authoritative and absolute nickname that will no longer have authority. I call myself ‘dog-eyed’ because it’s rude to talk about it, but I’ve never once disparaged this power.
Cheonan Tong 天眼通-
It is a mysterious power that has been passed down from a previous life.
There is nothing these eyes cannot see. It feels free and sometimes omnipotent.
A vast and endless force –
Even if it is a force that cannot be handled.
It was now possible to use the ‘low level’ eye power to some extent.
“That’s bizarre.”
For example, chasing traces.
I went down, down, past the desert mine and the miners’ workplace. The pit extended underground, beyond the reach of today’s technology. The trail headed down the pit. It is so deep that there is no air and you cannot breathe.
Hundreds of meters underground, deeper than the deepest layers of desert sand –
Borrowing from Dalby’s strength to withstand the heat and poison, I continued to follow the traces. Eventually, countless paths appeared. Like an anthill, there were dozens of passages. Even if someone who could kill a demon had reached this point, he would have died while wandering in the maze. Same goes for me. If it weren’t for Cheonan Tong.
There is only one ‘correct answer’.
I was confident and headed there.
* * *
The place where the traces intersect is at the bottom of the underground, a pitch-black cavity.
The devil was standing on top of the inverted pentagram pattern drawn in red blood.
A gray rabbit with long ears and a red-eyed devil wearing a tuxedo.
Although it was small in size, the instrument was powerful.
The strong and characteristic appearance reminded me of a certain demon written about in the Book of Raziel.
[Scribe of Mendes, Sumerian grave robber]
The demons recorded in the Book of Raziel are of a different class from ordinary demons.
As a ‘single entity’, a devil with a ‘name’, he is a high-ranking devil of the same level as the Silent Demon of Lake Island, the Black Knight of Melkaran, the Evangelist of the Vedas, and the Manifestation of Musenion. The rabbit demon twitched his whiskers and sniffed. The guy who was looking around as if looking for something soon took something out of his pocket and checked it.
‘Clock’ and.
It was ‘paper’.
