Episode 125
Leviathan (5)
“What the hell is this!”
“A coup d’état! Unless Grimal is crazy!”
Coup d’état.
In the urgent letters sent by Antonio to the members, the movements of Grimal and were described in this way.
It was a source of pride for the people of the floating archipelago that they had peacefully governed the autonomous territory as an oligarchy without any significant interference from the imperial family.
But it turned out to be reversed.
All the members gathered again in a cheerful mood.
They had already confirmed that Grimal was making unusual movements towards the central temple.
‘It’s better. I’m taking advantage of this crisis to completely seize power.’
António shouted with a serious face as he imagined his future self as a ‘hero who suppressed the coup.’
“We just have to stop Grimal, who is supported by foreign powers, from doing useless things. That’s how we become saviors.”
The members of Black Skull nodded heavily at Antonio’s shout.
They were already shaking their bodies as if they were heroes.

“Please be informed! We have received intelligence that there will be a terrorist attack on the central shrine. All residents are requested to follow the instructions of the guards and evacuate the shrine calmly. We will inform you again. Currently… … !”
Up above!
The siren and warning broadcast in front of the central temple confused the residents who were waiting for Krimhild’s successor to emerge.
-Hey, what’s going on?
-I see. Terrorism? Espionage?
-Then you’re saying you’re after the successor! Oh my god!
-What a f*cking rip-off!
And he got angry like fire.
– Hurry up! We have to get out of here before the terrorist attack!
-You shouldn’t keep mumbling!
-Hey! Over there! Come out now! Are you a terrorist?
The guards ushered such residents out.
They were used to the bribes that Grimal usually gave them, so they were shocked by the promise that he would give them twenty times more than usual after this incident.
He even indicated that if they did not listen, he would charge them with terrorism and force them out.
But there was something they didn’t think about.
The people’s faith in Krimhild was much greater than they had expected.
-What are you talking about!
-Your successor might get hurt by a terrorist or something!
-Let us protect you! You must be very tired after defeating the evil dragon! Shouldn’t we protect you?
-Right! Right!
– Lady Krimhilt has been protecting our floating archipelago for so long, now it’s our turn to protect her!
-Let’s all head to the central shrine!
Wow!
The residents were poised to immediately rush into the central temple.
The guards tried to stop them somehow, but it was difficult because of the large crowd.
As a result, the one who was embarrassed was the Grimal family.
“Oh, this is serious, Lord Firenze! The people are completely out of control!”
“How on earth do you handle things that something like this happens! How much money did we give you!”
The captain of the guard lowered his head, unable to meet Piren’s eyes properly.
Normally, I would have tried to object and told him to figure it out.
Now, he was so scared by the cold gaze of the leader of the ghost squad standing next to him that he couldn’t even look him in the eye.
“If anyone suffers any damage from this, you will be held responsible!”
Whether the captain’s face turns pale or not.
Piren looked back at the demon slayer urgently.
“It’s hard to get things done if the residents don’t leave. It’s better to wait for the next opportunity… …!”
“No. There is no next time. Let’s continue on. All units, prepare your bayonets.”
Slurp, slurp!
At the captain’s command, the men all drew their swords.
“Oh, no! If you continue like this, the civilians will suffer… … hiccup!”
Piren shouted urgently with a pale face, but closed her lips in the middle of the fight at the sight of the leader of the demon slayers’ fierce gaze.
“The order I received was to secure new recruits for the successor. It was your job to prepare for that, but you failed to do your part properly. Do I really need to consider that?”
Florence just hiccupped repeatedly and didn’t answer.
“The warning has already ended. If you don’t come out, you will be considered a terrorist. And the terrorist is.”
The murderous intent in the eyes of the assassin burned like a will-o’-the-wisp.
“The rule is to punish everyone regardless of age or gender.”
Paaaaat-
The demon slayers all turned into shadows and leaped forward at once.
-What is that?
-Terrorist?
-Oh, no! That’s right! That’s right! That’s right!
-But why are you running towards us… … Aaaah!
-Father Ren! Father Ren, are you okay… …!

-He stabbed a person! Grimal stabbed a person!
The crowd became chaotic in an instant.
The Gwisaldae were swinging their swords indiscriminately at anyone who stood in their way.
「Ah, ah, I inform you! T, Terrorists are targeting the central temple! T, this is, this is a, actual, situation! Residents, please, leave this place immediately! T, if you don’t, you will be, considered, as, a, terrorist or an accomplice… !」
The captain of the guard made an announcement with a trembling voice.
It has barely reached people’s ears.
-Blood, blood, damage!
-Ahhhh! My arm! My arm! My arm!
-Don’t push! Don’t push!
-Why are you targeting us! We just want to see our successor! Anyone can see that we are not terrorists!
Because there were so many people gathered, even trying to leave the scene was difficult.
There were disasters, including being pushed around, falling, being stepped on, being cut by swords, and bleeding.
But even in the midst of all that, the Gwisaldae steadily opened the path and reached the central shrine in one breath.
“Step aside! This is a neutral zone declared by the Council! To enter, you must lay down your weapons… …!”
The head of the knight guarding the temple was blown off by the sword of the Demon Slayer Captain.
“There may be terrorists hiding among those guarding the temple. Search them all thoroughly.”
A de facto order to occupy.
I had to figure out Theo’s location first.
“What the hell is this-!”
At that moment, Marty and the temple knights rushed out from inside.
They were shocked to discover the devastation outside, dyeing the temple entrance red.
“We have received intelligence that the Spinola family is currently leading a group of people to commit terrorism against Krimhild’s successor. We will protect the successor’s safety, so please cooperate.”
“Are you saying that Spinola is planning to rebel?”
“Yes. Their suspicions have already been discovered once before in front of the giant. There are additional circumstances where they are attempting to overthrow the regime, ignoring the warning to remain in the mansion until summoned by the council tomorrow, and the guards have already been dispatched there.”
“… … !”
Marty clenched his fists.
Now I could clearly see what the plan of the Guisaldae and Grimal was.
Grimal was trying to use this opportunity to seize power by force by broadening the charges against Spinola!
If Theo succeeds in sealing the Sea King, Troyban’s intervention will also have no justification.
It’s clear that Grimaldo will be purged.
So, before that, we want to get things done quickly.
‘If it were now, Spinola would be helpless and would have no choice but to take it… … If we secure the successor’s new soldiers and appear before the council, our position would become that much stronger.’
If Romelin, who had maintained neutrality and had not made any particular statements, could be linked with Spinola, then the Dominion Council would effectively fall into the hands of Grimal, or rather, Troyvan.
“All members of the Knights of Krimhild, listen up.”
Marty shouted with determination as he drew his sword.
“Do not allow them to set foot on the altar area. They are the ones who dare to tarnish Lady Krimhilt’s innocence.”
“Jeonmyeong!”
“Jeonmyeong!”
“There are Spinola’s collaborators here too. Kill them all.”
Paat-
Chaechaechaeng!
A clash broke out between the Knights Templar and the Demon Slayers.
Marty stood in front of the leader of the demon slayers.
“It won’t go your way.”
“Now I can finally see the sword of that author, Krimhilt or whatever. Krimhilt, Krimhilt, I’ve heard it so many times here that my ears are numbed. In the outside world, she’s just an unknown person. I wonder what the sword of a swordsman who only serves country bumpkins like you is like.”
Blatant ridicule.
But Marty paid no attention and continued to clash his swords fiercely.
She boasted fast swordsmanship befitting a high-level swordsman.
Chachachachang-
But the problem is that the leader of the Gwisaldae is the leader of a unit.
In Ragnar’s terms, he would be at the level of a Dragon Gate Inspector.
“It’s nothing special. It’s just some country bumpkin-like, boring swordsmanship.”
The commander of the Gwisal clan swung his sword hard with a short comment.
Chaenggang!
Marty’s sword, broken in half, flew into the air.
The Demon Slayer changed the direction of his sword to strike her neck, whose expression had hardened.
“Marty-!”
At that moment, several trajectories suddenly fell from the air and aimed for the back of the Demon Slayer Commander.
The Demon Slayer’s sword bent in the opposite direction again, deflecting all of the attacks.
“you……!”
“I came to save you!”
“Let’s talk about the details later!”
The members of Black Skull could tell at a glance that the Demon Slayer was the most dangerous author.
They exchanged glances with Marty and attempted to combine attacks.
“It’s like children’s play.”
But in the eyes of the Demon King, it just seemed unreasonable.
Would he blink an eye if a few little kids played a friendly game?
Shh …
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
The sword energy he pulled out fiercely split the heads of four members in one breath.
“Sradi!”
“Helen!”
“You little bird… … !”
“It’s annoying. Just die.”
In that moment, the demon slayer’s eyes burst into a blood-red light.
Blood circulation harmony.
As the vision of the Holy Demon Church was activated, the momentum was amplified dozens of times.
In one breath, he overwhelmed Black Skull’s momentum and quickly cut off the necks of the remaining members whose bodies had instantly froze.
Among them was a man who claimed to be the leader of Antoniou and the Black Skull.
“Ugh!”
“Kuruk… … !”
Antonio’s eyes were filled with resentment as he fell down, his throat cut without him being able to resist.
It felt like the ambition I thought I had at my fingertips was slipping away like a sand castle.
dump!
“Nooooooooooo!”
“Die!”
Black Skull, who had no idea that the Demon Slayer Corps’ power was this great, found his ranks collapsing in an instant when the leadership was annihilated.
The situation was similar for the Knights Templar.
Even though they were a knight order that inherited Krimhild’s tradition, they were no match for the Guisaldae, which had experienced countless battles.
‘no……!’
Marty was a colleague and friend of over ten years who cried out in silence at the deaths of his friends.
Wedge-
The Demon King leisurely passed through the chaos and arrived inside where a powerful wave had been detected a little while ago.
“Is this it?”
The moment I opened the door with a cold smile, something eerie came aiming for the back of my neck.
Chae-ae-aeng!
The commander of the ghost squad casually dismissed it and looked inside.
Shelford was laughing.
“Hey, this really isn’t working. I thought the timing was perfect.”
“This dagger… … Is it really Ragnar?”
“Hey, you noticed that?”
“Did you come all this way after finding out information about the Yongsal Sword? I guess you tried to hide it, but it didn’t work out well. The Black Dragon’s skills are really good.”
“What are you talking about all by yourself? Do you have any friends here that only you can see?”
“I want to see if you can still wiggle your beak like that even if your tongue is cut off by a sword.”
Shelford followed the movements of the Captain of the Guild, calmly, even while grumbling.
The opponent is at the level of Yongmun Inspector.
That kind of practical inspection idiot was not someone you could deal with lightly.
Pfft, pfft!
Arin and Ray joined in to help him.
Quality check.
When encountering a difficult opponent, the formation was to trap the opponent inside in groups of three and attempt to kill him.
‘Theo, you punk! Hurry up and finish this! I’m dying from exhaustion!’
Shelford searched desperately for Theo, who had been tormenting him all night, from the Colossus of Krimhild to the central temple.
No matter how hard they struggled, it was impossible for them to deal with the Demon Slayer Captain alone.
“Over there.”
The Demon King discovered the altar and kicked the ground hard.
It was getting tiresome to keep getting held back by the lower classes.
All I could think about was grabbing Theo by the collar and going back as quickly as possible.
Now that Ragnar’s involvement has been confirmed, it was necessary to quickly determine how much he knew about the Dragon Sword.
Shelford and his party hurried towards the altar, their gazes moving urgently in that direction.
Taat-
In particular, Ray’s movements were the fastest.
The art of running away immediately that my mother taught me when I encountered a dangerous situation.
But the Demon Slayer had already landed on the altar.
Just then, the glow of the gate spread and Theo slowly emerged from the outside.
Wearing an Aegir, holding a balmung in one hand.
“Got it.”
The moment the Demon King swung his sword down to subdue,
Chaeaaaaaang!
The first blow that the Demon King struck with all his might was deflected.
“Who cares?”
Underneath the helmet, Theo snickered and swung his dragon sword fiercely.
The dragon’s blood boiled.
A hot wind blew.
How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives
