26. Do you think that’s right?

“Get out of the way, you bastards!”

“Come out! Mr. Ai!”

The mercenaries of the Karcus Mercenary Corps ran wildly pushing the citizens in all directions.

At the head of them, Karcus was moving most urgently.

‘sh*t! I couldn’t believe he was the Heretic Inquisitor…’

Since Rohan deliberately entered the city hall creating a commotion, the news quickly reached Karkus as well.

‘If the Heretic Inquisitor kills Harviaton…I’ll die too…!’

Anxiety set in.

If it was the Heretic Inquisitor, he also had the right to execute a summary judgment.

That meant that there was no time left to waste time with the heresy trial.

The heresy trial was rather the goal they were aiming for.

When the heresy trial is held, the priests will gather.

If that’s the case, the night when the red moon rises.

By sacrificing priests, high-ranking demons can be manifested in this land.

I thought that if I could do that much, I would definitely return to a staff position in the demon corps, not just as a minion of the devil…

I thought so…

If he waited a few more days, the time Harveyton had spoken of would have arrived.

Then everything went as we wanted!

Everything got messed up because of one guy named Rohan.

teeth were split

Rohan, and Baron Romhardy, who summoned him.

I will pay for everything!

Karkus quickened his pace with blood in his eyes.

And finally, in front of City Hall.

Karkus beckoned.

“Our goal is one! Subdue the forces that want to harm Viscount Morden!”

“Yes!”

It was a seemingly fine goal.

However, the inside was blacker than the abyss.

‘How dare you do something like this? ok let’s see where You’ll get down on your knees and beg while weeping.’

Karkus raised the corner of his mouth.

No matter how much he was called the Heretic Inquisitor, the mercenaries under his command were just normal humans.

Although he follows the devil, he is human unlike himself.

Is it okay if I kill all these mercenaries who aren’t demons yet?

no.

The Heretic Inquisitors were always those who dealt with demons, but did not punish humans.

Then, on the contrary, can we subdue them all without killing anyone?

That too would have been impossible.

In addition, there are at most two over there.

But this side numbered in the dozens.

Victory is unconditional…

‘It’s on my side!’

The moment Karcus passes through the outer wall of City Hall.

“Waaa!”

“Hit it!”

“You son of a bitch who sold his soul to the devil!”

Aren’t troops suddenly popping up from all sides?

Karkus quickly rolled his eyes here and there to grasp the battle situation.

‘What is this again?’ crazy……!’

I thought it was really different.

Another ambush here.

Still, there weren’t too many of them.

Karkus, who had done a lot of thievery and banditry as well as on the battlefield, was a man with outstanding judgment as far as reading the battlefield.

He accurately analyzed the situation before a few seconds passed.

‘We took control of the outer wall of City Hall first. If you block the outer wall and keep the Mercury…’

Karkus gave an order to his vice-captain.

“I’ll take a few people and go first! Block the entrance and stop them from entering the city hall!”

“All right!”

And he picked two guys who seemed reliable.

“You, you! Follow me!”

“Yes, Captain!”

“All right!”

And quickly set foot inside the building.

Without knowing that all of this was a trap Rohan had dug.

* * *

A few minutes before the Karcus mercenaries arrived.

I’ve been fighting

The battle started with me.

It was the prelude that when he stretched out his fist and blew the knight away, his face was crushed and he died.

Then the ladies-in-waiting all at once bared their teeth and rushed at it.

Baron Romhardy was horrified.

It was as if he had never imagined that all of the ladies-in-waiting were demons.

“Ugh!”

Of course, nothing happened to me.

Because I had already seen through their identities with this terrible stench.

I waved my left arm to block the teeth of the demon minions.

Kagagak!

I stretched out my fist and sprayed lightning.

Damn! Damn it!

He drew his sword and began mercilessly slaughtering his minions.

Awesome!

For a while, my sword dance continued.

It felt like I was swept away in a half-madness and excitedly wielded it.

And when the frenzied sword dance was over.

“Ugh. It’s refreshing.”

It felt like a hole in my stomach.

It feels like taking a digestive medicine and lowering your body.

The guys who gave off the stench were dead, so their noses were cool.

Although the surrounding area was slightly stained with blood…

What can I do?

This much cleaning, Baron Rom Hardy will have to endure it later.

Meanwhile, it seemed that Baron Romhardy was still loading the situation.

I saw that he was covered in blood and only his mouth was open.

I bounced the sword the knight was holding with my foot.

And then snatch it.

chuck.

He reached out to Baron Romhardy.

Then he kicked the corpses scattered on the floor with his feet.

“All of them are devils. All of them. Even if they look like humans, they are already deceived.”

“……”

Baron Romhardy trembled and nodded.

I looked at him sharply.

“Be alert. It’s not over. It’s just the beginning.”

And then the handmaiden who fell unconscious on the floor with her chin, no, possessed by the maid…

It pointed to the devil, the real black man behind all these incidents.

“I didn’t kill him. If I kill him, I’ll probably kill Karcus too. Then his poison will spread everywhere.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Tie it with the rope I prepared and bring it. I will interrogate you myself.”

“Ah, I see.”

After that it was simple.

Tied up the devil, and burn it with electricity a little.

Isn’t it blowing all over me?

“Wow, yeah!

“Answer? I did. So what?”

“Aggh! This, this crazy! Agghg!”

After cooking well with medium well-done.

The devil fainted.

By that time, Baron Romhardy was also slowly following my pace.

Not fainting, not shaking.

Having stunned the demon, we gathered the information we obtained from him.

“Trying to summon a high-ranking demon…I almost got in trouble. Thanks to you, I overcame this crisis.”

“Not yet. Carcus must be dealt with, and everything is over.”

“That’s right. He’ll come soon.”

I recalled the story Harveyton had confided in my mind.

‘According to what he said, there doesn’t seem to be any way to spread the poison other than killing yourself.’

It seemed impossible to kill someone remotely or self-destruct by just thinking about it.

In the end, he would have no choice but to draw his sword and stab himself in the heart or cut his throat to die.

So, it’s just a matter of preventing sudden and accidental suicide…

A small idea crossed my mind.

* * *

“Oops!”

“……”

A little further into the city hall, the faces of the two men who were following Karkus turned pale.

Karkus was no different.

Everywhere was covered in blood.

Something that looked like torn limbs was rolling on the floor… Crows, smelling the blood, pecked at the windows with their beaks.

Tung. Tung. Tung.

It was truly hell.

It felt like the darkest night I had ever experienced in my life.

gulp.

A mercenary following behind could be heard swallowing dry saliva.

But I couldn’t beat it.

He, too, was terrified at this moment.

‘Is it a trace of a battle?’

A scene that seemed like a nightmare unfolded, so my judgment was about to be clouded.

It would not have been possible if he had lost his cool.

He decided to think as calmly as possible.

‘There must have been a fierce fight. No matter what anyone says, this is Harviaton’s nest.’

The demon Haviaton had already hired quite a few people as his minions.

From the knights in the government building to the attendants.

At most, the only ones who escaped his spell were the low-level soldiers guarding the main gate.

What could two paladins do in such a place?

‘okay. No need to be scared. If they were really subdued, why would they set up an ambush from the outside?’

After thinking about it, the landscape looked different.

Although the entire hallway was covered in blood, I guess it was beginning to show traces of Rohan, who was resisting Harveyton’s forces, running away.

‘I would have killed some of the maids and servants, but in the end I’m sure they were being chased.’

Only then did my heart slowly settle.

And that wasn’t all.

If Harviaton had died, he would have died a long time ago.

It was because I was scared at the moment, but when I calmly thought about it, it seemed that there was no need to be scared.

‘okay. He’s soon to become a staff member of the demon corps. It’s ridiculous to be trembling like this.’

He made up his mind and decided to raise the morale of the mercenaries who followed him.

So I turned around and opened my mouth.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. They seem to have fought back fiercely, but they’re never safe…”

However, his words did not follow through.

It was because, at some point, one of them was missing.

“What? Why is it only you?”

“Yes? Uh! Uh-uh? Whoa, where did this bastard go?”

You didn’t even know the guy next to you was gone?

What is this?

It felt like the fear that had barely faded was slowly creeping up again.

Aww!

Goosebumps ran down my spine at the sudden sound of crows.

But it sounds like something is very close…

“Everything, Captain!”

One mercenary called out to himself with wide eyes.

Karkus followed the mercenary’s gaze and turned his head.

at that time.

Aww! Food Deuk!

A flock of crows were flying down the hallway.

The two hurriedly clasped their heads together and crouched down.

“What kind of dog…!”

There was no time to organize my thoughts, and the incidents came out one after another.

The sound of a flock of crows passing overhead rang in my ears.

It seemed that my soul was lost in the flapping of their wings.

After a while.

When the flock of crows disappeared, Karcus sat down on the floor and washed his face dry.

“Whoa…”

I sighed and looked at the mercenary next to me.

……none?

“……!”

It was so unreal.

Am I having a nightmare?

One after another, they disappear.

All I can see is red blood.

All that was left was alone.

“I’m going to turn around! f*ck!”

A hollow cry echoed through the hallway.

next moment.

Tumble, Tumble.

I felt footsteps approaching.

“Pee, what the f*ck! Come on, yeah. Come on! You bastards!”

With trembling hands, he pulled out the sword at his side.

Sreung!

The sharpening sound made the fluff stand upright.

in front of his eyes.

Two figures appeared.

The one is.

“Haviathon?”

It was Harviaton, burnt and barely breathing.

The other was Rohan, who was holding onto Harviaton’s back.

Rohan… opened his mouth with a smirk.

“Welcome to Hell. You devil.”

* * *

The moment Karcus’ eyes were focused on me.

Baron Romhardy, hiding in a corner, threw himself.

Baron Romhardy swung his sword and cut off the belt tied around his waist.

Shaak!

Then weapons, including the dagger, fell to the floor.

It was a ploy to prevent a sudden suicide.

“this……!”

A look of bewilderment was evident on the face of Karcus, who was unexpectedly attacked.

To that extent, Baron Romhardy’s movements were quite nimble.

It was his skill that took care of the two mercenaries earlier.

Anyway, the only thing Karkus had in his hand was a long sword.

I curled up the corners of my mouth.

“Is it your wish to become a devil? Then enjoy the hell that will unfold from now on.”

“You must have looked very comfortable. Huhuhuhu.”

Surprisingly, he found his cool again.

Then he glared at me and smirked.

“It looks like you managed to catch Harviaton… if you kill that bitch, you’ll be done too. You know that, so you couldn’t have killed it.”

Karkus’s voice gradually changed into a grotesque one.

In addition, his body bulged here and there.

Chew! Chow!

Things like thorns began to sprout.

The bloodline stood out, and the muscles became clearer.

“I’ll tell you one thing. They say that there are people who are particularly compatible with demons.”

As it gets bigger and bigger.

His upper body swelled up enormously, and his legs became huge to the point of appearing short.

“When those people evolve into demons, something much more powerful than normal people will be born! Just like me!”

His eyes had already become demonic eyes.

The whites of his eyes turned black, and his eyes turned blood red.

Its teeth grew and protruded at random, and four goat horns sprouted from its head.

And the voice was already coming out something that wasn’t completely human.

“Even though I signed a contract with Harveyton, don’t think I’m on the same level as him! Heretic Inquisitor? A position like that. I’ll show you that it’s useless! Hahahaha!”

As his laughter spread through the hallway, the building seemed to vibrate.

It felt like my stomach, which had barely cooled down, was turning back.

and the next moment.

Fit!

The huge one disappeared from my sight in an instant.

‘fast……!’

At this speed… the sword he swung with his right arm was difficult to hit.

Just like in Seaforeo.

But wasn’t it me who had already experienced the speed battle at Seaforeo?

I closed my eyes and pictured the image of a golden spear in my mind.

Then, with a momentary flash, I felt heat in my left hand, and a brilliant golden trident was created.

I immediately opened my eyes and threw a golden spear.

The third eye and the giant god’s left arm reacted first at a speed that surpassed my senses.

Wooo…

“Oops?”

The golden spear pierced Karkus’s right arm exactly, and it was pinned to the wall as it was, fixing him.

“Turn it off…!”

Smoke rose from his arm in the heat from the spear.

I licked my lips as I faced the boy’s eyes twisted in pain.

“The same level…… I think it’s right?”
