Desire

The city that was pillaged was filled with gloomy death. All over the alley were screams and gasps of women, and dead bodies were rolling in the streets like garbage. Hermione, who was on the horse, watched this horror without a word.

“Do you prefer to go in? ”

Asin on the horse next to Hermione asked. Hermione shakes her head. “Just a little more.” Hermione mutters and grabs hold of the horse.

I entered the city beyond the wall from the plains. The emperor ordered the plunder as if it were natural, and the city was abandoned. Residents of the city who had not yet evacuated were trampled under the boots and hooves of horses. Everyone had to fall under the body of a hungry soldier, except for an old woman or an old, young woman who could never be held. Galios' man, who rushed in to defend it and resisted, was slain, of course.

“War.”

Hermione, who was silent for a long time, opens her mouth. He left the mansion he was staying in and wandered the streets with Ajin for a while. He mutters as he hears a woman howl from the inside of the deep alley.

“That's terrible. ”

A grave horse. Asin nods without a word. I got on a boat for a long time. Then I won my first battle in Galios. It was a great victory, but it was not an easy process. The undead come back to life even if you kill them. A monster battlefield in which a colleague of mine has just become a corpse soldier.

It is also best to release the stress that has been accumulated in the process. Unleashes accumulated sexual appetite and promotes morale by trampling on weaker characters than yourself. Hermione, of course, and the Gracians, were not aware of the war. Maybe some of them feel a sense of morality, but maybe more than others feel a sense of morality.

What Hermione felt was virtue. He raises his hand and covers his face. He drives the brother who shared his blood with him to death. And now we are watching innocent, perhaps, foreign citizens being plundered.

“I wonder if this war will happen even if I become emperor. ”

“As long as there are no more Gracians in the world, there will be no war. ”

Ajin replies: Even if we take Galios down, we still have the Kingdom of Nornia. And there is no guarantee that war will not happen again just because the Gracians remain. Rebellions happen all the time.

“I see.”

Hermione replies. His voice is faint. Azin doesn't offer much comfort to Hermione. He wanted to be confident, so it was his job to collect his emotions. The essence of things doesn't change at all when Azin says something to comfort him. Hearing the woman's moaning, Hermione glances at the pain.

“Count Sericrapa is not going to be part of the raid? ”

“I have a wife. ”

Ajin smiled bitterly and replied. Of course, since Ajin has another woman here, the remnant of the black snow scent in Gracia will not be noticed. But in doing so, Azin did not like the idea of having another woman. In Azin's reply, Hermione bursts a low smile.

“Earl Sericrapa is a paladin. ”

“If you say so, you're a lover.” Ajin replied with a bloody smile.

“It is an empire. ”

Jabesh mutters. Orsel sits with his back against the wall and raises his head. She glares at her ruby red eyes and watches what she does. Jabesh wags his caramadon as he snorts. Black sand dances on the ground every time he shakes his hand.

“More power than I thought. Regular soldiers and knights, well, we can do something... The problem is wizards. ”

“And the emperor. ”

Orsel mutters. Haveth nods, smiling loudly.

“That's right. That's a lot of existence! The Palace Wizard of Gratia or the other Pentagon wizards and buffaloes, no more. ”

“It was the feeling of a spirit. I can't, but I have a contract with two or more Spirit Kings. ”

Orsay mutters. She's a homunculus built on dragon hearts. She is susceptible to feeling magical because her physical foundation is magical.

“And then there are two strange anomalies. ”

Orsay raises a finger.

“One is not a wizard, but he was ignorantly powerful. ”

“... not a wizard? ”

In response, she pauses and looks at Orsay. Orsay nods slowly.

“I'm not a wizard. I'm sure. It was a different feeling. Hmm.”

Orsay's brow frowns.

“The two I saw at the boat party. It was like the power of a Blood Witch or a Swordsman. Yeah, that's right. Internal air.”

Orsay nods, applauding. The words narrow her eyes. He touches his chin silently, thinking. An advanced drone with enough power for Orsay to belong to the Gracias army.

“.. to what degree? ”

“Another wizard of the Pentagon, Emperor. It's like them or something. The Hidden Piece is already at its level, just by looking at the power. ”

Her eyes distorted in Orsay's reply. Hidden piece level. This is surprising. Hiddenpiece, a trained artisan, couldn't have joined the Gracians, but he was a player. If any of the players have Hidden Piece power...

“It's Ajin.”

Harvest concludes his conjecture with ease. A year ago, the legs of the Bully Saleh Desert came into contact with an unmanned man who had crossed the line. And the unmanned man's name is Ajin. I already know that. He joined the armies of Gratia and joined the war. Jabesh's eyes frown.

“This has become a bit of a nuisance. ”

Harvest mutters. Azin's presence is variable enough. Wait, but two. She glances at Orsay with a frowny face.

“What's the one? ”

Orsay's head tilts at the question of Harvest. “I don't know.” Orsay replied honestly.

“I'm a wizard. From the amount of magical power I've seen, it's probably one of the Pentagon's five stars. But... it feels weird. The amount of magical power I feel is very strong, but I can't quite figure it out. ”

“... what do you mean? ”

“I can't see the end. It's very... offensive. I've only felt this way once. ”

“... once? ”

Harvest asks again. Orsay nods his head.

“It's like the first time I saw the Queen of the Black Forest. ”

Haveth's spine cools cold. It feels like the Queen of the Black Forest. That's ridiculous. The Queen of the Forest cannot leave there. Its powerful existence is tied to the forest itself. No matter how powerful she is, there's no way out of the woods.

“.. wait. ”

Harvest takes his hands off the obsession. He lands Carmadon on the ground and stares into the eyes of the luminous skeleton. His lips quickly spread and chanted. Carmadon is an artifact directly attended by the Queen of Forest. Haveth was able to communicate directly with Queen Berger Selgernia through Carmadon.

As soon as Harvest sends a signal, the skeleton's jaw snaps open. As soon as she saw it, she knelt on her knees. This is no time to be concerned about face-to-face. He slammed his head in place.

[I didn't expect to hear from you.]

The skull's mouth clatters. The voice he heard was the woman who had been stabbed to death, and the voice of the queen he had heard before.

“.. I'm sorry. ”

Haveth replied, ignoring the cold sweat soaking his spine. We can communicate with the Queen through Carmadon, but we have never been able to communicate with each other. The queen never spoke to her, and she never spoke to her.

[So, what's up?]

The queen is a monster beyond comprehension. I don't want to get involved. Dammit, if Orsay hadn't yelled, there wouldn't have been a call from this side.

“I'm in Gallios right now. ”

I could ignore it. But she basically trusted Orsay. I had no choice but to trust my ability to detect magic. Haves was able to find the dungeon masters underlying the Dark Stars because of Orsay's ability to detect their magic.

Orsay said the magic she felt was like the queen's. Then the Queen came to Galios using some kind of method and belonged to Gracia.

[I know.]

The queen replies, and she swallows. “.. the queen...” Harvest cautiously asks, his jaw clenches and spits out a low smile.

[I'm in Gallios, too.]

Damn it. Harvest 'face distorted. I mean, how? That question came up to my throat. How does a queen who can't escape the forest get to Galios beyond the sea?

[It's none of your business.]

I heard the queen's voice.

[You've done some interesting things. I thought this was going to be a boring, one-sided war, but you're making me happy.]

She doesn't say anything. He chewed on his lips.

[You don't need to care about my existence. I have no desire to interfere in your affairs. Just do what you want to do.]

The skull's voice subsides. She raises her head a little later. The queen unilaterally disconnected communication with only what she wanted to say. She spits out her swearing words and settles down.

“How did you get out? ”

Harvest spits it out. Never mind. I used to get a saying like that... But she touched her chin with her hands. Although I said I didn't want to interfere, standing with the Queen on Gracia's side greatly diminishes her behavior. After joining us as Wizards of Gracia, the Queen will have no choice but to assist Gracia.

“Damn, that's messed up. ”

Not just the queen, but even Ajin. And Rivera. She scratches her head. How do I do this? I guess I'm strong enough on my own.

‘It's hard to kill an emperor here at all. ’

The original objective was to test the power of Necromancy magic properly, but I can't go fuzzy without the plates. In the beginning, I was going to pretend with the Gracias Empire. Then I guess I'll just have to go my own way. Jabesh's eyes frown.

“Orsay, coordinates. ”

Harvest opens his mouth. He picks up the robe he threw on one side. Black Robe covers her body. Orsay opens his mouth and recites the long coordinates like a machine. Harvest immediately captures the coordinates Orsay gave him and unfolds the spell.

Nothing happened for a moment. But then something happened. Black light one, two, three, four. Four black lights appeared in front of her.

“.. my dearest. ”

Harvest stretches out his arms.

“Old friends. ”

In front of all the dungeon masters in the desert, Jabesh bows his head.
