“You know that, Eshel?”
Haniel, who was sitting quietly stroking his lips, looked up at the red sky and asked.
“It is said that the value of life is realized only when there are people who remember them. “If there’s no one to remember it, it’s no different from just a moving invoice.”
“I think I know what you mean.”
Eshel nodded as if he understood what she said.
“You must have felt it while using that power. People who smile at your mask rather than your true face only make you feel lonely. “Even though I’m alive, I don’t feel like I’ve lived.”
“Was your mother like that too?”
Instead of answering, Haniel let out a seductive smile.
“Humans are weak. Because he is weak, he always craves love and care. We just followed those extremely instinctive habits, but the world insulted and despised us. Even giving it the name witch… … .”
At that moment, a red glow flashed in one of Haniel’s eyes.
“I thought there would really be no one who remembers us anymore, but as it happens, there still is. “He very clearly referred to me as a witch.”
“How did you feel? Have you felt again what life is worth?”
“no.”
Haniel answered firmly.
Then he stood up and approached Eshel with his golden hair flowing.
“Same goes for her. They don’t even know much about me or us, and they’re treating me like I’m an evil woman who shouldn’t be in this world! Do you think so too, Eshel?”
“It’s not like that.”
She smiled loudly in satisfaction at her child’s firm answer.
“If you inherited my blood, it has to be that way. When needed, it will be used until every drop of blood is sucked out, and when it is no longer needed, it will be thrown away without mercy. But, Eshel. That’s the best way to live life. “It can be said that living an honest life without denying human nature is truly the right life!”
Haniel caressed Eshel’s face with his white hands.
“I gave birth to you in this world and even made you chosen by God! You must reign at the top of this world! That you are right! That there is only one truth in this world! It must come true! Only then will the value of my life be realized!”
Before I knew it, the hand, overflowing with emotion, was tightly grasping Eshel’s face.
Eshel did not reject or shake it off, and just continued to smile softly.
“Please, don’t let me regret coming back. Son… … .”
“yes. mother.”
Eshel held Haniel’s trembling hand.
“… … .”
Duke Berthe was watching indifferently from behind as the mother and son developed a deep connection.
* * *
A camp within the front line.
The tour group trying to head to Lemea Gorge to follow the traces of Duke Berthe encountered an unexpected being.
Demon.
They are demons.
Anyone can clearly see that it is a demon.
The tour group, engulfed in confusion, had no way to respond and just kept repeating the same words in their heads.
Except for one person, Lunav.
‘Why are demons here?’
There is no one who does not know that that being is a demon.
However, we need to know why those demons are here.
It is still unknown what its identity is or why it appeared in front of them, but
Still, one thing was certain.
“You come here.”
‘Is conversation possible?’
The demon spoke clearly and pointedly at Lunav.
This would mean that mutual dialogue would soon be possible.
Runab swallowed the tension that had built up along with his saliva and then carefully opened his mouth.
“What brings you here?”
The tour group was astonished by the bold question of the world.
“Do you have any business with us humans?”
Are you going to have a conversation with that unknown being that gives you goosebumps just by encountering it?
“Lu, Lunav! “What are you thinking now?”
“Hey junior! “Are you out of your mind?”
Despite the strong dissuasion from those around him, Lunav paid no heed.
She accepted Belkarion’s gaze with half-lowered eyes.
“hey.”
At this, Belcarion opened his mouth.
“Did I just tell you to come to me and open your mouth?”
It was a tone of considerable discomfort.
Lunav, who judged that he was not in control of the conversation, immediately took his step and moved forward.
“Where are you going Lunab?!”
Arin, startled, grabbed his arm and stopped him.
“You know the situation is not good. First of all, it looks like they came because they wanted something, so it will be okay if they respond appropriately to their requests.”
“Do you know what to do with you? “You don’t know what harm you can do!”
“Then you can run away.”
Arin was left speechless by the truly decisive answer.
“I’ll be back.”
With those words, Runab left the group and approached Belkarion.

“don’t worry. “If anything goes wrong, I’ll rush to him.”
Set clenched his fists tightly, as if preparing for an emergency.
It was a very short distance, maybe 20 steps at most, but I felt very uneasy taking each step, as if I was walking on thin ice.
Lunav whispered softly, clutching the magic book in her bosom.
“Are you there, Remi Haram?”
“of course. “Lady.”
Remi Haram did not materialize, but only continued to respond to Runab.
“Do you know anything about those demons?”
“It’s not certain, but I have a guess.”
There was a faint, but trembling sound in Remi Haram’s voice as he continued speaking.
“Then, please calculate quickly. “What do I have to do now to defeat those demons?”
“You want to kill that demon?”
Instead of answering, Remi Haram just smiled sheepishly.
“I have just one thing to tell you, lady.”
“… … ?”
“If you see an opening, just run away. “Those demons are not something we can deal with.”
It was truly a pessimistic answer.
Lunav continued to advance without hesitation, and finally came face to face with Belkarion, two steps away.
“Do you have something to do with me?”
She spoke first with a bold question without blinking.
However, Belkarion simply glanced at Lunab’s entire body and did not respond.
instead,
“what is your name?”
Surprisingly, he asked my name first.
“It’s called Lunav Rainriver.”
“Are you a witch?”
Lunav frowned slightly at the unfamiliar name he heard for the first time.
“Probably not. At least I have never been called a witch in my life.”
Belkarion’s eyebrows furrowed at her honest answer this time.
“Take off the clothes you are wearing.”
The eyes of not only Lunav but also the entire tour group who were watching the two suddenly opened at the absurd request.
“That crazy guy… !”
Set, who could not contain his excitement, tried to rush in, but Lunav raised his hand towards Set and stopped him.
“May I ask why?”
“… … .”
“Seeing as you’re not forcing me to take it off, I guess it’s not something you really want to do, huh?”
“I have something to check.”
Belcarion answered reluctantly.
Accordingly, Lunav began to take off his outer clothes without much resistance.
-Smurf
“Shall I take off more?”
Belcarion asked, pointing to the outer garment she had taken off.
“What did you hear over there?”
Lunav took out the magic book she was carrying in her robe as if she wanted to show it to her herself.
“It’s not a very interesting book.”
“Keep taking it off.”
As if it wasn’t what he was looking for, he continued to order me to take it off.
Runab continued to take off her clothes with a calm expression.
The moment you take off your jacket and then your shirt,
“for a moment.”
Suddenly she stopped.
Then, this time, without asking, I picked up the top she had taken off and looked closely at the bulging pockets.
As soon as I tried to put my hand into the pocket,
“It would be better not to touch that place, right?”
Runav dissuaded this.
“It contains some not-so-good stuff.”
Belcarion stopped his actions and immediately looked at her and asked.
“What did I hear?”
Lunav, who thought there was no need to hide anything, answered casually.
“A pendant.”
“… … !”
While she was taking off her clothes, Belkarion’s eyes, which had subsided for a moment, suddenly filled with anger and other negative energy again.
Belkarion, unable to control his boiling emotions, roughly stretched out his hand towards Lunav.
The moment Runav, feeling threatened by this, instinctively tried to take a step back,
“Step back, junior!”
With an urgent cry, Set’s heavy body fell from the air like a thunderbolt.
-bang!
Belkarion dodged by leaning back slightly.
Set did not stop at this, and the moment he landed, he immediately threw a fist filled with sand.
-puck!
Belkarion, who was unable to dodge, lost his balance and fell backwards.
-Woe!
However, it didn’t take long for it to spread its wings and regain its balance.
Then he flew towards the set again and swung his fist in reverse.
After checking the movement of the fist, Set immediately took a defensive stance,
“… … !”
The moment his fist touched me, I knew something was wrong.
When will there be another moment in one’s life when one can experience such incredible power?
Set’s body, unable to withstand the recoil, was instantly pushed back to where the tour group was.
“and! “Isn’t strength really a joke?”
A situation that would make an ordinary person collapse in embarrassment.
However, Set did not give in.
Instead, with his face filled with joy, he rushed at Belkarion again.
-bang!
“Do you think there are people like you in the demon world?”
Belcarion did not answer.
His murderous gaze continued to be fixed on Lunav.
“If you don’t want to die, get out of the way, human.”
“You can’t do that! “I’ve been holding back a lot since a while ago, right?”
A sandstorm began to rise beneath the feet of Set, who was supporting his body like a tree.
Belcarion also seemed to not want to pay any more attention, and an unknown black aura flickered from his body.
An imminent situation where you don’t know when or how it will explode.
After gathering himself in the confusion, Runab hurriedly unfolded Remi Haram and shouted a spell.
“By going against the laws of space, we will escape the impending crisis!”
Then, a huge magic circle was created starting from Lunav’s feet to where the tour group was.
“Spatial transition!”
Soon, the blue light rising from the magic circle enveloped the bodies of everyone on it.
“… … !”
Belcarion decided that something was wrong and tried to rush to action, but
-Whoa!
It’s already too late.
Soon, the entire tour group, including Lunav and Set, completely disappeared from Belkarion’s sight.
-dump!
Somewhere it was transferred like that.
The tour group looked around with bewildered expressions.
“Is this the rear camp?”
“Where on earth?”
Through anti-space warfare magic, the entire tour group was moved to the rear camp.
The person who used this complex and profound magic dusted himself off and stood up with a nonchalant expression.
“I don’t know when that demon will come back. Let’s evacuate outside the border gate first!”
Arin seemed to agree with her opinion and immediately gave instructions.
“All members of the tour group! “We will evacuate outside the border gate immediately!”
The tour group moved quickly.
“But what are those demons? “Why did you attack your junior?”
“I have some speculations, but let’s talk about it later!”
Lunav dismissed the question, saying that evacuation was the priority.
“I can see the border gate!”
Soon the border gate appeared in front of them.
Prioritizing Arin, the tour group quickly passed through the border gate without delay.
“But this won’t end if you run away like this, right?”
“Everyone, step back. “I’m going to strike the barrier right now!”
Runab, who defeated the tour group and stood in front of the door, unfolded the Book of Magic again to strike the restrictive barrier.
but,
“… … !”
I couldn’t shout the order, so I froze on the spot.
“Uh, in which gap?”
A familiar demon appears beyond the border gate they passed and faces the tour group.
Belkarion has appeared again.
It felt like his murderousness and anger had heightened even more than when we first encountered him.
However, Belkarion just stayed where he was and made no attempt to come over.
“Is it because of my mood? “I don’t think you’re thinking about coming over?”
It seemed like he was hesitating to get over something.
Since there was no magic or barrier at the boundary gate yet, I could come over it whenever I wanted.
-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-bump
In that moment of silence, unfamiliar footsteps were heard.
At the same time, Lunav’s eyes opened brightly when she smelled a familiar scent.
“… … !”
Soon, someone familiar appeared beyond the border gate, between the tour group and Belkarion.
A violent tremble also appeared in Belkarion’s eyes as he faced that presence.
“You finally showed up!”
Then she shouted at him with a strange face that didn’t tell whether she was smiling or angry.
“Sian Berth!”
