The faces of the Berthain family embedded in Carlchad’s body.
Gernom, who rises from the shadows.
The attacks were as grotesque as their horrifying appearance.
Kaaang-!!
A light, downward swing of the sword.
“Coolook… !”
From Leo’s perspective, it wasn’t light at all.
It was clear that the swords clashed.
The impact penetrated and caused internal injuries.
《It’s so fresh that it can’t even be compared to other guys!?》
Tsk-
Gernom with his mouth wide open on the other side.
He tried to swallow Leo whole with his excited voice.
Shu-
At times like that, Elin would help Leo out with a short space jump.
If I open the portal, my head will explode.
Thud.
It’s like jumping twenty steps in space.
All it took was a few drops of coffee.
“… Thank you.”
Leo was worried about Elin though.
He tried hard not to look at her face and held his sword tightly.
Even if we look at the current situation, there is nothing that can improve it.
“Your Highness. Are you okay?”
“… No.”
The man who will take care of Elin is over there.
Kwaaang-!
“Are you doing this to protect something precious? What a delicious feeling.”
Leo’s role was to throw his whole body into making sure that no harm would come to Elin.
《Why are you doing this? Huh? It would be so much easier if you just gave up. Is Elin that precious? Then you shouldn’t have abandoned her in the first place.》
“Shut up.”
Ki-ki …
He pushed Kalchad’s sword away so hard that blood flowed out of his palm.
Gernom cried out in satisfaction after successfully scratching Leo’s insides.
《Oh! Dragon teeth are definitely good. Right?》
Crunch!
Gernom, who has been supporting Kalchad as if it was just a joke,
“Cough… !”
“Do not resist and become one quietly.”
The Calchad that had merged with Gernom did not show any emotion on his face.
He is full of madness, only trying to absorb Leo and Elin and head to the palace.
Chorrr-
Cheolkeong-
Elin summoned a chain and strangled Kalchad.
The gap created as a result.
Leo didn’t miss the opportunity Elin gave him.
Crunch-!
A cutting sound that is clearly audible despite the quiet surroundings.
Carl Chad’s body was cut diagonally.
Boom, boom.
But black blood flowed out.
Crunch.
Germ filled the wound.
“… … ”
It wasn’t an attack that was intended to be a hit in the first place.
It was a move to buy some time.
Swish-
He cut his own finger with the Dragon Sword.
《Hmm? What are you doing now? Are you offering something?》
Gernom’s guess was correct.
“… Your Majesty. Please lend me your strength.”
Kuung-!
A golden wave spreads out centered around Leo.
Jeokjeok-
A crack appears in the air.
The streets of nightmare become unstable.
Yeah- Yeah-
Leo’s Dragon Sword vibrates as if it’s going to explode.
《… … I hoped this day would never come.》
Emperor of the current empire.
Boldred’s voice came from the Dragon Sword.
“Huh, what is that? Isn’t that a dragon that was cleaning people’s feet?”
“Still vulgar words and actions.”
A conversation between two ancient species.
“Ugh… !”
“Cool… .”
That alone made mortals think their heads would explode.
If Boldred had appeared as the main character, he would have definitely died.
《Didn’t you decide not to fight the demons? Isn’t that different from what you promised?》
Hundreds of years ago.
The demons who were severely beaten by Bertain did not simply close the gates to the demon world.
The demons made a contract with Boldred, who ruled the largest country on the continent.
Instead of attacking the demons, the emperor.
The demons decided not to covet the continent anymore.
It’s a kind of non-aggression pact.
This was the reason why the Emperor knew about Gernom’s resurrection but could not stop it directly.
“Wasn’t it you who broke the contract first?”
“I’m just listening to the legitimate contractor’s wishes?”
《Let’s say it’s the same here too.》
Hwaak-
Leo’s hand glowed.
It was a dragon’s mark carved by Boldred himself.
《Ha! Even the great gold dragon has become senile? Even granting protection to a lowly being.》
“The subordinates I cherish are not insignificant at all.”
Unable to attack the demon directly, Boldred pulled out his own teeth and sharpened them into a sword.
So that the sword’s owner can lend his strength when fighting against demons.
《Isn’t it fatal for only you to use the power of the ancient bell?》
With Boldred’s deep voice.
Flash-
Leo’s eyes turned golden.
If Kalchad were to fuse with Gernom and borrow power.
Leo was under Boldred’s protection through the sword.
Leo took one step forward.
Chae Ae Aeng-!
At one point he was aiming for Carl Chad’s neck.
Kagagak-
The forces are evenly matched.
Carl Chad could no longer easily shake off his sword as before.
《Hahahahahaha! So you’re going to drive the humans you cherish to ruin! I don’t know who the devil is!》
Gernom burst into laughter, even though the situation had changed.
A human who shines brilliantly with the power of the gold dragon.
It was so obvious what the ending would be like.
《… … 》
“… … ”
That’s something Leo and Boldred know better than anyone.
“Find a way quickly.”
“I’m sorry for putting such a heavy burden on you.”
They placed their hopes on two space wizards.
“One more time. Hit hard!”
Of course, Luke and Elin weren’t playing around either.
The nightmare streets become unstable with Boldred lending his power.
Kwaaang-!
Kwaaang-!
Since a while ago, Elin’s massive magical power has been destroying Gernom’s dimension.
《Try it for a hundred days. You can break this overlapping dimension!》
Kwajik-!
Before Gernom could finish speaking, a small crack appeared in the sky.
“Gasp, gasp… gasp… !”
“You can’t stop, my lady!”
“I know… huh.”
Kwajik- Kwaduk- Kwajijik-!
Luke urged the panting Elin on.
The goal wasn’t to completely shatter the nightmare streets.
Shu-
“… Okay.”
A passageway connecting to a familiar dimension.
So that you can use spatial magic.
If only I could make a small crack, that would be enough.
《… At this point, I want to change my incarnation.》
“Gernom.”
“I know. You just have to absorb it.”
Gernom licked his lips and slowly grew bigger.
About as tall as a hut, similar to a calfskin.
Within a short time, his body grew to the size of a mansion.
Ssss… .
Calchad envelops his sword in darkness.
Woohoo-!
Leo’s dragon sword flashed as if he would not give up.
Kaaang-!
Light and darkness collide.
The dragon’s cry and the devil’s laughter overlap.
“Let’s see how long I can last.”
The enlarged Gernom laughed sinisterly.
Tsk-
When the mouth opens wide enough to swallow three at once.
“Bertain, I will use the title of the wise man you gave me!”
Phew-!
Luke’s magical power was transmitted to Bertain through the crack that Elin broke.
Towering.
Gernom froze, drooling profusely.
“Ancient demon Gernom. You must answer my question.”
The title of ‘Wise Man’ given by Bertain some time ago.
Any ancient paper had an effect that required it to answer questions.
* * * * *
《Huh, heh heh. Hahaha! You got the title of ‘wise man’ from that grumpy lizard?》
But Gernom’s movements have stopped.
The voice did not stop.
But the fact is that Gernom is tied to a title.
Quaak-
This means that the power of the sword has been relatively weakened.
“… Dare.”
“If it’s not the power of the devil, it’s nothing.”
Now Leo was holding down the sword with his strength.
Gernom didn’t care and just egged Luke on.
《Go ahead and ask. So what do you want to know about me? I don’t know, but you can’t move right now. If you’re going to waste time, then you should stop. I can wait for thousands of years.》
In fact, Luke’s movements were also restricted.
This means that it is impossible to prepare a seal now.
“Teacher. Even if I’m alone… .”
“No, I need to hear the answer.”
Luke said firmly.
This is something Luke can do.
It’s Luke’s job to do it.
“German. I have a question.”
“Ask me anything. I’ll have to tell you the truth anyway.”
Luke looked straight at the giggling Gernom.
I’ve been thinking about it deeply up until this very moment.
A new dimension of construction, as Bertain puts it.
What does it mean that only Luke, not the continental one, can do it?
To be confident.
“Have you ever been to the dimension where Earth exists?”
I had to find out this fact.
Cheolkeong-
Luke’s question is valid.
Knock knock.
I heard the sound of the rope burning.
What this sound meant was simple.
Or tell lies.
Failure to respond within the time limit will result in a huge blow to your status as an entity.
The title of the Ancient Bell was much more impressive than one might think.
《Pfft. Khahak!》
But Gernom burst into flames.
The laughter continued for a long time.
It was to the point where I thought the sun floating in the sky was getting old and dying.
There comes a time when I think it would be better if I just kept going like this and died.
《Earth. Earth. Of course I’ve been there. It’s a place with lots of humans. Guns? They shoot weapons like crazy.》
Cheolkeong-
Gernom began to answer.
《Well… it was a place without magic, but it was a society that didn’t envy magic. It was a truly beautiful place.》
A voice full of laughter.
The devil’s wickedness that could not be hidden dripped down.
《Now that I look at it, you’re from there? The way you shoot mana is somehow unique…!》
Gernom is delighted, like a wizard who has solved his lifelong wish.
Luke remained silent, his face hardened.
Leo and Elin, who were listening together, were puzzled.
Luke is the second son of the Bucklin family.
Are you from a place called Earth?
《But what should I do about this?》
Gernom, who had no obligation to answer their questions.
He raised his voice as if he was about to die from excitement.
《I already destroyed that place!》
Crunch.
The title’s effect has worn off.
Gernom suffered no damage.
It means it’s not a lie.
in other words.
The Earth that Luke lived on was destroyed long ago.
That too, by Gernom’s hand.
