Satisfied, Reppenhardt jumped down from the roof.
That’s why he didn’t see it.
As soon as he turned his gaze, he saw the Chatan Palace covered in fog and the flames rapidly extinguishing.
Chapter 31: Counterattack of the Duchy
One
“Getran pil lata!”
Sepia-tan opens his mouth, spitting out loud devil language. A huge pillar of fire spreads heat and leaves a long trail of destruction on the ground. Every time a pillar of fire passes by, the ground is dug up, trees are set on fire, and stones melt and flow.
Grumble!
The red-hot Chatan Castle was filled with red light. Amidst the swirling ash, black smoke, and heat of the blazing flames, Lord Clatt shouted and shouted frantically.
“2nd Battalion, protect the Golden Palace! The 4th Battalion protects the royal family of the inner palace!”
To live up to his reputation as the only knight of Chatan, Lord Clatt had already returned one of the demons that appeared, the red-skinned Fiend, back to the other world. However, the number of demons was three and his body was only one. While he was dealing with Fiend, the other two demons were already scattered throughout the palace and were running wild.
“Kaaaa!”
“Clara!”
Every time the demons roar, black magic erupts, destroying the building and creating a river of blood. The destructive power of the demons themselves was enormous, but the bigger problem was the other smaller demons they summoned. Hundreds of small demons appeared and were running like mad dogs all over the palace. To be exact, it is not a summons, but an alter ego created by separating parts of the devil’s body or powers, but from the opponent’s point of view, this distinction is meaningless.
‘Damn, it wouldn’t have ended up like this if the Zeppelin Knights hadn’t vacated the palace… … .’
However, currently, the Zeppelin Knights had received some kind of mission and had all vacated the palace, and Clatt, feeling regretful, screamed at the guards knights who were dealing with the small demons.
“Chatan Knights! Give up the idea of dealing with it alone! “Make a group of three with the royal guard and take on one!”
They may be small, but the size of the summoned demons exceeds that of most adults. No matter how much the magic knight of Chatan is fully armed with magic weapons, these monsters are too much for him to deal with alone. It is against the honor of a knight to have many fighting against one, but there is nothing we can do now.
“Yes, Captain!”
“All right!”
As soon as Klatt’s order was given, the Chatan knights joined forces with the royal guard and began to block the advance of the small demons. Clat clicked his tongue at that sight.
“… … “The habit of our country’s knights who do not care about honor is helpful in times like this.”
Knights from other countries would have felt ashamed and slowed down if several knights had given such an order to persecute one knight. A one-on-one duel is nothing less than the flower of chivalry.
However, the Chatan Knights, who have always lived uncharacteristically knightly lives, have no hesitation in accepting orders to attack all at once like this. No, when I noticed it, I sometimes saw an expression that said, ‘You should have done this a long time ago.’
Although it is a very desirable sight in the current situation, it is still very bitter to Sir Klatt, who is a knight to his core.
‘Ugh, those guys don’t even look like knights… … But fortunately, I won’t be pushed back anymore.’
After assessing the surrounding situation, Klatt turned his attention back to Sepiatan, the demon in front of him.
“Ugh… … .”
When the advance of the stallions he had summoned was blocked, Sepiatan cried out in anger and spewed out a pillar of fire again. Clat quickly jumped away to avoid the attack, kicked off the ground, and flew up.
“Ha!”
Raise the sword long above your head and then strike it long with Aura.
“Bloody Rain!”
Dozens of red blade auras poured down like rain, pounding Sepia Tan’s entire body. Sepia Tan also tried to block the attack with his great sword, but because there were so many attacks, small abrasions appeared here and there one after another.
However, even though he was attacked properly, Klatt’s expression was not very bright.
‘Wow, that devil’s body is too hard. I need a more powerful blow… … .’
Bloody Rain is certainly an excellent special move, but it is more useful for multiple troops rather than a single powerful entity like Sepia Tan. It lacks destructive power.
The Fiend I defeated earlier was a speed-type demon, so I was able to kill it with Bloody Rain, which has a wide range of attacks. However, even if this Sepia Bullet hits Bloody Rain, a large power-type demon, it will only inflict superficial wounds and cannot inflict a critical hit.
‘But other than Bloody Rain, there is no more powerful technique… … .’
Even for the same Auror user, the Aura usage method varies greatly depending on the sword skills learned, and the sword skills Klatt learned was a style that favored precise and sophisticated consecutive strikes rather than simple, ignorant blows.
Of course, if this style reaches a higher level, he can show destructive power by concentrating his attacks on one point, but unfortunately, he has not yet reached that level.
“Del Carata Maca!”
Sepia Tan attacked again, with blue demonic blood flowing from its entire body. A huge sword filled with flames split the air. The heat surged like a wave, burning everywhere.
Dodging the attack, Klat fired Bloody Rain one after another. The red aura continued to hit Sepiatan’s limbs like arrows.
Each time, Sepia Bullet groaned and shed blood, but its movement and destructive power did not decrease at all.
While dealing with Sepia Tan, Klat glanced at the situation behind him. My teeth suddenly ground apart.
“No matter how you stop one guy, the other one is the problem.”
Even while Klat was blocking Sepiatan’s movements, the remaining demon, Zentarel of the Blue Thunder, was trampling the palace to its heart’s content. Blue electricity is still flashing here and there in the palace, flames are rising, and screams are screaming.
‘I’ll be amazed. I have to deal with that side too… … .’
However, unless you defeat Sepia Tan, you cannot leave this place. It was when Clatt bit his lip out of nervousness, unable to do either this or that.
Suddenly, a pure white fog began to cover the entire palace.
“hmm?”
Fog envelops the entire flame-filled Chatan Royal Palace. At the same time, the intensity of the blazing flames noticeably decreases. With the senses of an Auror user, Klatt realized that this fog was a magical fog containing powerful magical power.
‘Are you the wizard Hajil? No, he said he was away too?’
Chatan Royal Palace Wizard Hajil was an archmage at the beginning of the 8th Circle who had many disciples and was in charge of the Chatan royal family’s magical power. In fact, under normal circumstances, no matter how powerful the three demons that appeared, the Chatan Palace would not have fallen into such chaos. Because high-ranking wizards can deal with high-ranking demons from this world better than Auror users.
The problem was that now, like the Zeppelin Knights, Hajil had also vacated the royal palace, accompanied by his best disciples, for some kind of business.
‘What on earth is going on that both the palace wizard and the Zeppelin Knights are away at a time like this? … .’
Lord Claat turned his head towards the place where he could feel the magic, wondering if Hajil had returned. And for a moment he was surprised.
‘huh? ‘It’s not a bad ball, is it?’
The person standing on the stone tower of Baekyang Palace, the center of magic where the fog rose, was not the grumpy-looking old wizard that Klatt knew. She was a surprisingly young woman who still looked childish.
“Spill, cover, I am a minister of power, a vessel of power that presses down on wrong and brings peace… … .”
No matter how high I set it, an invisible woman in her mid-20s was chanting magic in a sonorous voice. At the same time, the magical energy flowing from her woman’s entire body becomes a mist that envelopes the burning buildings and suppresses the flames.
“Huh!”
Klat opened his mouth in admiration.
The magic itself was at the late 6th circle level, but its range was enormous. That magic fog covered most of the Chatan Royal Palace. A spell with such a wide range seemed impossible even for a wizard.
“A woman so young can place such an enormous order? “Is she really an archmage?”
But it seemed like he still had more surprises ahead.
widely! widely! widely!
Someone was running from beyond the fog with the sound of light footsteps. With each step, the distance narrows at an incredible speed. It was hard to see because of the fog, but just by feeling, I could tell that the other person’s movements easily surpassed human limits.

He was an Auror user.
“Cr?”
Sepia Tan turned his head as he sensed the presence of another strong man. Klatt and Sepiatan’s eyes were equally focused on the same point.
Eventually, the opponent appeared from the fog.
He was a young man, holding a sword with a yellow aura in one hand.
“Hmph!”
Without saying a word, the young man who appeared gave a short burst of energy and launched himself at Sepia Tan. Sepia Tan had also raised his awareness earlier and immediately launched a counterattack, swinging his great sword. The moment the great sword collides with the young man’s sword… … .
“Spiral Blade!”
The young man’s aura began to shine dazzlingly and rotate. The young man, who turned into a giant drill, broke Sepia Tan’s great sword with his sword and dug into the devil’s arms.
The scales broke, splinters flew out, and fresh blue blood gushed out like a fountain. Sepia Tan let out a scream.
“Kaaaaak!”
It was amazing power. Of the dozens of attacks that had struck Klat to death, the blow from that nameless young man inflicted an even greater wound.
“Who, who is it? Who is the author? Has anyone awakened to Auror at such a young age?”
The first thing that came to mind was Cyrus, an Auror user of the County of Antares who had recently become famous during the Crovence Civil War.
But that black-haired young man was very different from Cyrus, even if he had a different look. First of all, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the young man’s beauty was truly stunning compared to Cyrus, who was just averagely handsome, including his hair color.
It is difficult for a man to be given that title, which is usually exclusive to a beautiful woman, even if he or she is of decent beauty. If Cyrus’ appearance was at that level, there’s no way his face wasn’t mentioned in the rumors.
“Taaat!”
The black-haired young man rotated and swung his Blade Aura one after another and began to attack the Sepia Bullets. The situation was so embarrassing that Klatt just stood there blankly and looked at it. Then he came to his senses and was about to rush to cooperate.
“Are you Lord Klatt, Commander of the Royal Palace Knights of Chatan?”
A beautiful woman’s voice came from behind me. Before he knew it, the female mage who had spread the magical fog a moment ago had come up behind him. Normally, Clatt wouldn’t have noticed it with his senses, but the sight before his eyes was so surprising that he seemed to have lost consciousness for a moment.
“Well, what about you?”
“My name is Filena from Mt. Tower of Delphia. “I came here at the invitation of the King.”
“ah… … Thanks for your help. Clatra Hao, Commander of the Chatan Knights.”
Clatt stammered and politely greeted me. I don’t know the situation, but at least it seemed certain that they were allies.
“Due to the urgency of the situation, please forgive me for not being able to greet you formally, Wizard Philena.”
As soon as he greeted me, Klatt tried to get into a fighting stance again. At that time, Filena stopped him.
“We will take care of that devil. Sir Klatt, please deal with the demon in the inner palace. “Even though I quickly extinguished the fire, the damage is still significant.”
“Ah, but… … .”
For a moment, Klat looked back and forth between Sepiatan and the inside of the inner palace. As a knight, he is not accustomed to leaving his opponents to others. However, like a leader, he acknowledged that this was not the time for the knight to be stubborn.
“I’m sorry, so please do me a favor.”
After bowing with a stern face, Klatt picked up his sword and started running towards the inner palace. As expected from an Auror user, once he gets off the ground, he instantly jumps tens of meters and disappears beyond the fog.
Filena looked at Claat’s back and scratched her cheek.
‘Actually, in this case, it would be a quicker way to end the situation if the two Auror users join forces to kill one demon and then immediately kill the next one… … .’
Nevertheless, there was another reason why Filena sent him to the inner palace.
“This is the part you shouldn’t see from here.”
Filena saw the silhouette of a gigantic demon vaguely reflected in the fog. The silhouette of a human being moving quickly while holding a lightsaber against a huge shadow is reflected through her fog.
Filena screamed.
“Tesron! Should I throw the bag?”
A leisurely answer came back from the fog.
“Anyway, I can deal with you just like this!”
“But wouldn’t it be just a rehearsal?”
The young man laughed at Filena’s next question.
“Haha, that’s right. good! Throw it!”
“huh! Tethron!”
Filena searched inside her robe and took out a case. She carried a seemingly ordinary square leather bag, which Philena used her magic to throw away into her mist.
“receive! Tethron!”
The square case flew away and disappeared into the thick fog. And after a while, a strange metallic sound came out of the fog.
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop!
The white fog reflects the shadow of the sepia bullet, and the shadow of a bulky giant appears vaguely above it. The devil’s voice, confused by the giant in front of him, was heard through the fog.
“Krell?”
Through the giant’s shadow, a leisurely young man’s voice followed.
“Of course, you have to practice to get used to anything.”
The giant’s shadow overlapped the sepia bullet’s shadow. Every time the shadows overlap, the fog turns red and the devil’s form becomes grotesquely distorted. Moans and roars are heard one after another, the bushes shake, and a roar flows.
bang! bang! simplicity and honesty! Ujijik!
