“What did you say…??”

Eugene clearly heard it. What Laonjena said.

But he couldn’t help but ask again.

It must have been because the content was so unbelievable to his ears.

[I heard you know too. That Sophist is creating a mysterious medicine that makes humans go berserk, and I, the leader of Sophist, am leading the creation of it. And it’s because of that medicine that Master went berserk and became a Sword Demon.]

To Eugene Schneider, Laonjena explained in detail the things she had done.

A seemingly indifferent but guilty look, especially when mentioning her teacher, Ulysses, her lips trembled.

“Ah…”

Eugene Schneider, who was confirmed once again,

For a moment, his face turned pale and he let out a sigh from the depths of his chest.

‘So that’s what it was…’

That thing that tormented Eugene since the day Ulysses became a Sword Demon,

It was the tragic downfall of his father, who was so admired by everyone.

And the one who witnessed that downfall right in front of his eyes was his son, Eugene Schneider.

He couldn’t understand why he had ruined his perfect life,

Eugene Schneider, who had sealed his memories because it felt like his head would explode, finally faced the truth in Pandora’s box.

The mysterious medicine of Sophist that he had suspected, his father’s fall was due to that medicine, and the source was none other than Ulysses’s disciple, Laonjena.

Squeeze…!

At that moment, Eugene’s fist was clenched tightly.

“….!”

Swoosh…!

Victoria silently glanced at Eugene Schneider.

‘Amazing murderous intent, Great Swordsman Eugene…’

Knowing that Laonjena was the one who killed his father, extreme murderous intent began to form within Eugene.

“Could you please give us some space, Victoria.”

Eugene Schneider, who was emitting murderous eyes and murderous feelings, opened his mouth again in a low voice.

He asked Victoria to allow him to have a private meeting with Laonjena.

“I understand. I’ll look around in case something happens.”

Swoosh…!

Victoria, who received the request, slowly turned around, opened the door of the abandoned house, and went out.

Afterwards, the dark abandoned house where Eugene and Laonjena were alone was heavily weighed down by a silence beyond darkness.

“Who is it.”

Eugene Schneider shattered the silence,

“Who is the person who gave you the Flower of the Demon God drug?”

He asked who was behind it.

Now he remembers everything clearly.

The appearance of his father, Ulysses Schneider, who became a Sword Demon at the last moment,

Also, Laonjena’s appearance and her character before she became the monster she is now,

That’s right. As Laonjena herself said, she had a great obsession with Ulysses.

Eugene thought it was possible that she had been blinded by that obsession and jealousy and had done something foolish.

However, as Ulysses had worried and cherished so much, Laonjena had a weak and foolish character, so Eugene Schneider thought that even if she could impulsively do something wrong, she could never be meticulous or methodical.

Bringing in the Flower of the Demon God drug and devising a plan to prevent Ulysses Schneider from noticing it could only be done by a type of person completely different from Laonjena.

[…..]

Laonjena is silent for a moment,

[Antoine, it was Antoine D’essel Oblean, who was my master’s closest friend at the time. Antoine gave me the Flower of the Demon God drug, saying that there was a way to help my master. At that time, I didn’t know it was a drug made from the Flower of the Demon God…]

Then she told him that the person who made all the roadmaps for her was Eugene Schneider’s adoptive father, Antoine D’essel Oblean.

Flash!!

Eugene Schneider’s pupils suddenly dilated.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

His heart was pounding like crazy.

‘Antoine…!! My adoptive father Antoine! Antoine, who I’ve been with as an adoptive father for the past 10 years!!!!!’

A sense of betrayal that felt like his heart was being torn apart swept over Eugene Schneider.

When Eugene asked Laonjena about the mastermind, the person who was being compressed as the mastermind in his head was, after all, his adoptive father, Antoine D’essel Oblean.

Everything was pointing to Antoine.

Antoine had been betraying and using the people around him to become a Fallen Hero.

In the end, the truth was confirmed by Laonjena, it was Antoine as Eugene’s inescapable deja vu.

“ㅡKkyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!”

Extreme betrayal, resentment and anger that followed,

Eugene Schneider roared as if screaming.

“That…! Hey, look over there!!”

Snowstorms swirled around the Millennium Wall, and

A soldier guarding the place spoke to his companion with wide eyes.

“Huh??? What the heck is that!!????”

The soldier looked at the side pointed out by his companion’s fuss, and he, who had been drowsy because it was the middle of the night, stared ahead as if his sleep had disappeared in an instant.

And there

ㅡCrack crack crack! Crack! Crack crack crack crack crack!!!

Giant coniferous trees, soaring high into the sky, were splitting and falling down as if struck by lightning.

“ㅡKuuuhhhhhhhh!!”

Afterwards, not only could a huge, dark silhouette be seen among the coniferous forests that had become a mess, but a terrifying roar made them feel with their whole bodies what the identity of the silhouette was.

“Giant Ogre!! A Giant Ogre has appeared!!!!”

The most powerful ogre among ogres. A Giant Ogre with a height of 25m.

“ㅡUwoooooooooo!!” “ㅡKuuuhhhhhhhh!!” “ㅡWooooooooooooo!!”

ㅡㅡKukukukukukukuku!!ㅡKukukukukukukuku!!ㅡKwakakakakakakaka!!

Not just one, but nearly a dozen Giant Ogres were rushing towards the Millennium Wall.

“The Demon King’s army has begun its attack!!”

There were rumors that ogres occasionally appeared in the northern snowy fields, but Giant Ogres were a different story. Giant Ogres, not ordinary ogres but high-ranking monsters controlled by a shaman, the Demon King’s army led by them began its attack on the Empire.

Thus, the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Imperial Army sought out someone wearing platinum armor and appealed in a desperate voice.

“At this rate, there is a high possibility that the wall will collapse, Crusader!!”

The target was none other than Crusader.

It was Constantine von Bayern, the apex of the Holy See’s Paladins.

With Giant Ogres with a height of 25m and nearly 20 tons rushing in, a great sense of crisis was cast over the Empire’s Millennium Fortress, the Millennium Wall.

That’s why the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army urgently rushed here, realizing that he needed the help of the Paladins, an unconventional force supporting the North since the Demon King’s Descent.

Originally, the Imperial Knights should have joined, but currently the strength of the Imperial Knights has weakened endlessly.

“No, Crusader! You know very well that even supporting to this level is enduring a serious conflict with the Council of Elders!”

At that moment, the Chief Secretary of the Paladins, who was guarding Constantine’s side, interrupted the words of the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Imperial Army.

Unless the Council of Elders officially approves the all-out war, even if Crusader goes to war by his own authority, he must wait in a state of being stationed in a specific area.

However, Crusader Constantine’s Paladins took positions between the wall and the village as much as possible to protect the northern residents.

The conflict with the Council of Elders is intensifying as a result,

Depending on the situation, the Council of Elders may impeach Crusader or suspend some of his authority.

That’s why the Chief Secretary is expressing his opposition.

‘What should I do…’

A structure in which he must go to the front lines instead of supporting to prevent the wall from collapsing,

Crusader Constantine was deeply troubled.

Something that flashed through his mind then.

[I will try to be a proud father to our daughter Victoria, even for your sake, Adrian…]

It was what he had sworn at the grave of his deceased wife, Adrian von Bayern.

Wasn’t Constantine the one who wandered after Adrian died?

Then, he felt a lot while wandering with his young daughter.

It is the disposition of his daughter Victoria, who resembles Adrian in her youth.

He realized that Victoria, who was upright and full of spirit, should not grow up seeing her father wandering around like a derelict.

And he thought. What would Adrian have done for this Victoria?

Wouldn’t she have tried to be a role model that would allow her daughter’s true nature to blossom to the fullest?

So Constantine had sworn. As a Crusader, he would be a person who has conviction and works for the people of the Empire.

“Nikola.”

Constantine, who had been silent about the conflict of opinions between the Chief Secretary and the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army, finally opened his mouth.

“We will go to war. Have all the elite troops of the Paladins armed.”

The elite Paladins of the Holy See will step forward to block the attack of the Demon King’s assault troops.

Psss…! Pas…! Psssssssss…!

Eugene Schneider’s tremendous roar filled the abandoned house.

Anger, resentment, murderous intent, Eugene Schneider unleashed them as if exploding.

It caused the explosion of magical energy that was inside him

As a result, Eugene Schneider’s eyes flashed with the red energy of magical energy.

‘So it was true! What Antoine said that Master’s hidden wife is a demon and Eugene is a demon hybrid!’

It was Eugene Schneider’s rampage that even made Laonjena, who had become indifferent with an expression that had given up everything, nervous.

She had heard Eugene’s secret through Antoine, but she was half-doubtful.

But in this situation that she has confirmed before her eyes, even she, who has become close to a demon due to the side effects of magical energy from the endlessly soaring magical energy of Eugene, has been overwhelmed.

[Hehehehe… Hey Eugene, what are you so angry about? Who do you want to blame? It is you yourself who has been manipulated by Antoine and has been denying your father.]

The explosion of magical energy once again caused conflict within Eugene Schneider.

He had thought of Antoine, the enemy who killed his father, as his adoptive father and was grateful to him.

Eugene Schneider felt a sense of betrayal that felt like his heart was being torn apart and began to fall into self-hatred,

His inner self has been tenaciously clinging to it.

“Shut up…”

Eugene Schneider struggling with eyes filled with madness,

[Oh… I see, it’s that woman. That stupid woman was swayed by Antoine, so it was inevitable for you.]

Like a hyena that has found prey, Eugene Schneider’s inner self, which is tainted with magical energy, clung to it very tenaciously.

Because Eugene Schneider, whose mentality has been completely shattered, will be instinctively looking for someone to shift the blame to.

That’s why the demon that occupied his inner self gave Eugene a very appropriate excuse.

It is Laonjena.

“That’s right…”

Eugene Schneider, whose mentality has been completely destroyed, seized the excuse.

“That stupid woman killed our father and made me be played by Antoine!!!!!!!”

It is a passionate struggle to avoid having his ego completely shattered.

“Kuhhhhhhhh!!!”

Laonjena screamed in agony at that moment,

“You have to pay the price, right? Huh? Didn’t you come here to pay the price?”

ㅡSqueeze!

That’s because Eugene Schneider, who had approached without realizing it, grabbed her neck and held it.

“I will gladly punish you!!!”

ㅡCheeeeeeeeeear!!!

Eugene Schneider, who suppressed Laonjena’s collar with his right hand, roughly tore off her shabby clothes with his left hand.
