“Magi?”
Such a murmur came from someone.
He probably recognized it faster than anyone else. The ones most sensitive to this energy on the entire continent are the Heresy Inquisition and the Holy Empire.
“…Get everyone ready.”
With those words, everyone present took out Buddhist instruments one by one from their arms.
Protective gear made from a mixture of holy water, holy relics, and relics of saints.
‘…Child Angel’s Seal.’
Elijah saw the seal on the outside and gritted his teeth.
If that’s the case, it makes sense to rush against a human who can control demonic energy.
They are considered to be one of the most valuable pieces of armor in the Holy Empire, and are believed to be effective as a one-time use against the devil’s body, even if only briefly.
It must be a special medicine against opponents who are obviously much more crude than the main body when dealing with demonic energy.
“…I don’t think they are Seras’s personnel.”
A murmur like that flowed from Daoud’s mouth as he looked at the scene.
“They seem to be external personnel who only received equipment from the Provincial Government. Is that correct?”
“…”
It is natural that no fool would open his mouth and admit it.
However, Daoud, who said those words, also nodded quietly instead of continuing.
“It’s not the Vow of the Crescent Moon, but if you have this level of skill… you’d be an Apostle of the Sun.”
“According to information, he cannot directly exercise the power of the devil, but he is an opponent who can at least imitate it. “Be especially careful.”
“Is this from Archbishop Luminol?
“everyone. Ready to attack. “When you give the signal, it goes at once.”
“…please listen to me.”
Daoud said those words with a confused expression, but the people surrounding him didn’t seem to blink an eye.
Although their leader sighed and opened his mouth for an answer.
“…I don’t think you realize that talking is just a tactic to kill time. “It’s a pathetic move.”
“…”
What I’m saying is aggressive.
It is clear that he said this to appease Dowd because he was so embarrassed.
That person’s empathy level is unnecessarily high for an assassin.
Maybe he’s a pretty good person…?
“No, if I know, I’ll adjust the rhythm a little bit. “Isn’t that too much?”
“…”
On the other hand, aren’t there people who say such conscienceless things without even blinking an eye even after receiving such consideration from the other person?
While Elijah was thinking this, he looked at Daoud with narrowed eyes.
“If you don’t give me time, I don’t have the confidence to control it.”
“…what?”
“Because this is my first time using it.”
Daoud sighed and placed his hand on his chest.
“Even if you die, I won’t know?”
With such a shameless sound.
Gray and white demonic energy instantly covered the surroundings.
“…!”
Those who saw this simultaneously raised their Buddhist instruments.
But, the next moment.
-!
The Buddhist sphere with the gray energy attached to it was instantly ‘crushed’.
Very easily.
It’s as if a rock that has been heavily ‘eroded’ by moisture shatters at the slightest impact.
“What…!”
Even before someone’s shocking words were properly over.
The white devil’s magical energy seeped into the gap in the Buddhist sphere.
next.
-!
A white flash covered the entire area.
●
“…teacher.”
“hmm?”
“What was that just now?”
Elijah let out a moaning voice as he looked at the humans scattered around him.
“…I was lucky.”
“…”
After hearing that answer, Elijah fell silent.
If the Holy Kingdom found out about this, it was obvious that the entire country would turn upside down.
No, it’s not just that country, the entire continent will be turned upside down.
Although it is less powerful than the original.
What these people have brought out now are objects modeled after the Archangel’s barrier, which suppresses even the ‘body’ of the demons within the void zone.
To break through it in an instant.
It is widely accepted that just because it has succeeded in imitating the power of the ‘Child Angel’, it already has absolute protection against demons.
however.
Even though its power is far inferior to the original, the fact that it can break through even such protective measures speaks volumes.
It means that they are beings that can handle the energy of demons in a more ‘anomalous’ way than their normal power.
like.
As if it were a being of a ‘higher’ status than those beings.
“…”
this person.
Perhaps, she may be becoming more of a ‘monster’ than she thought.
Elijah looked at Daoud with that thought in mind.
In fact, he kept whispering something to the assassins who were standing expressionless.
He keeps saying something repeatedly, as if he is persistently trying to ‘instill’ a certain fact.
“…But what have you been doing since a while ago?”
“Brainwashing.”
“yes?”
“I want to sprinkle groundbait to use later. “There are still useful people here.”
A calm explanation followed, saying that it was using the White Devil’s power, ‘temptation’.
He appears calm and cool.
As if being attacked by these people had already been calculated.
“…”
When I think about it again, I had a strong feeling that this person was always stuck in a section where he couldn’t catch up.
This time, while receiving training from Kwon Seong, I thought I had caught up a bit by awakening the eye of truth, but it feels like this person has gotten this ability from somewhere and has gone further and further away.
“…Anyway, he’s an unlucky guy. teacher. i know? “No matter how hard you try, you always brush off difficult things so casually.”
So, I put my hand on her waist and scolded her in a playful voice.
“I was lucky. “If I made a mistake, it would have been quite difficult.”
“…”
Elijah’s eyes narrowed as he heard the calm answer.
what.
I don’t know what it is.
Hasn’t it changed a bit?
‘…Originally, there were times when I felt a bit unlucky.’
Elijah tilted his head as he thought so.
I already knew that I was a person who always maintained the attitude of knowing everything and handling it in advance.
Even though I’m still saying the same thing, it feels a little less uncomfortable.
I don’t think it’s a feeling of humility.
What should I say?
dry. very.
As if there was no emotion at all.
I feel like my ‘feelings’ have become fainter than before.
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
“No, if you’re a teacher, it’s normal for others to do things that are difficult and then show an attitude like, ‘Of course I have to do this…’”
“…What on earth do you think of me?”
The reply was astonishment, but Elijah still stared at Daoud with narrowed eyes.
He looked more serious than before. On the contrary, it made Daoud even more embarrassed.
“teacher.”
“huh?”
“…Can’t you change too much?”
I don’t even know why I said that.
But somehow.
This person, one by one, these days… I feel like he’s moving away from being a ‘human being’.
-If it seems like I’m about to do something strange again, you can balance me out.
Seeing as you said something like that a while ago, it seems like you know it too.
It goes on and on and on.
At some point, this person may turn into something completely different. It is true that such vague anxiety creeps in.
“…”
Dowd, who heard those words, looked at her in silence and then burst into laughter.
“…Thank you for your concern. “But it’s okay.”
“…”
“I will be as alert as possible to prevent that from happening.”
At that answer, Elijah twitched his lips in dissatisfaction.
It’s a sound I’ve heard before.
However, it is still difficult to understand that. It’s hard to feel safe.
“…I can’t do that. As expected, if you don’t give me some reins so that you can listen to what I say in advance…”
“huh?”
As soon as she saw Elijah muttering something, a look of puzzlement returned to Daoud, but instead of explaining in more detail, she stood up.
“…Let’s move for now.”
He seemed to have made up his mind about something.
“I looked for a good place to camp in advance.”

< System Message >
[You attempted to combine the magic energy of the ‘Gray Devil’ with the magic energy of the ‘White Devil’. ]
[You have ‘failed’ at compositing! ]
[The effect ends with the energy of the ‘Gray Devil’ and the energy of the ‘White Devil’ becoming stronger as usual! ]
[The magic energy of ‘Gray Devil’ and ‘White Devil’ cannot be used until recharged.]
“…hmm.”
I scan the message window with narrowed eyes.
The words I said to Elijah earlier, ‘I was lucky,’ are not empty words.
On the outside, it looks like they took it down easily, but they also lost a lot of blood.
It is clear that even if that dharma ball had been a little more powerful, it would not have been able to break through.
‘…was failure or success a skill that existed in the first place?’
I think of such thoughts with a sense of bewilderment.
If I had known that such a probability existed, I wouldn’t have used it so easily in the first place.
Moreover, there was a penalty that made it impossible to use it until then unless you somehow refilled the energy of the White Devil and Gray Devil.
I don’t even know how to do that refill in the first place.
“…Ugh.”
I sigh and remove the window.
However, it’s okay to just look at it in a bad way.
In any case, it is true that his power was so great that even with a failed technique, he could neutralize the secret weapon the opponent had prepared.
That means.
‘…So what happens when you hit the jackpot?’
It is certain that a return value beyond imagination will be returned.
Although it is difficult to use in normal situations, it would be better to think of it as an appropriate skill to save until the end and use it as a gambling move.
For now, it’s probably best to think of it as trial and error to figure that out.
As I settle the situation, I throw another handful of dry firewood into the crackling bonfire.
Doing something like this in the ‘Forest of Dreams’ where the second ordeal takes place is inherently suicidal, but there are still a few safe spots.
This place, where ‘Hwanmok Tree’ is growing in abundance nearby, has the effect of automatically impeding perception of the surroundings. It probably won’t be easy for not only the Demon Beast but also other warrior candidates to access this place.
That’s the reason why people leisurely light fires in an environment filled with dangerous things around them.
Boy, did you manage to find a place like this. When I took the lead and dragged him here to stay the night, I was wondering why.
“…”
But, that’s it.
‘…Why haven’t I seen you in a while and haven’t said a hello?’
While saying that, he looks down at the Soul Linker.
Normally, the guy who would have been the loudest as soon as I came to my senses is now the quietest.
‘Caliban?’
[shut up.]
‘…’
I close my mouth in response to the darkly voiced answer.
For some reason, it is a voice that makes me feel strong anger towards me.
Something worth guessing.
‘…What happened while I was away?’
As soon as I ask that question, the first thing that comes out is a sigh.
He then continues speaking in a gloomy voice.
[shut up.]
“…”
no.
I’m anxious because I’m getting such a reaction.
“…No, if you can at least tell me the reason…”
[…I have a lot to talk about.]
Caliban continued speaking in a somber voice.
[It’s just that the situation tonight feels like hell.]
“yes?”
[For a few days, I’ve seen my sister’s disgraceful behavior. I have a feeling that today is probably the peak.]
“…?”
why.
At best, all I can do is sleep here for one night.
‘…hmm?’
It was only after speaking out that I realized something was strange.
‘…uh?’
Now that I think about it, I see.
Are you sleeping with me?
Just the two of us?
With Elijah?
“…”
I’ve been involved with all kinds of women so far.
Have you ever been exposed to a situation like this where you were ‘alone’ for a long time…?
I can’t believe I was thinking about that.
“…Hey, teacher.”
Suddenly, I heard a voice that sent a chill down my spine.
Elijah left for a while, saying he was going to get more firewood.
“…”
however.
If I had brought firewood, I would have definitely gotten some exercise.
Why does it smell good instead of sweaty?
It looks like he took a shower somewhere. The hair also feels refreshingly shiny.
like.
As if he had been grooming himself in preparation for ‘something’.
“…huh?”
“We are alone.”
The face of the guy who said those words was strangely red.
“…uh?”
“Thanks to Carpenter Hwan, no one will come here, and we have to sleep alone until tomorrow.”
“…Well, but?”
Elijah smiled broadly.
In response, the cold sweat pouring down my face becomes a little more.
“teacher.”
“…”
Suddenly, I realize one thing.
Why has Caliban been so quiet and not said anything?
“I hope nothing happens. Yes?”
“…”
you.
why.
Are you saying it in a tone that something will definitely happen…?
[hey.]
Caliban said, almost sobbing.
[Please do this without me seeing.]
“…”
It’s been a while since I spoke.
shut up.
please.
