“A ship carrying an incredible number of soldiers is coming this way! And it’s both the demons and the Kingdom of Arrogas!”
ㅤ
The man, with bloodshot eyes, rushed to Kiel.
ㅤ
“Why? Why are the soldiers on this island?”
ㅤ
“I don’t know! The village chief has been killed and Errant is nowhere to be seen! Kiel, you’re the only one who can pull the village together now!”
ㅤ
The man shouted and took Kiel’s arm, pulling her along somewhat forcefully.
ㅤ
As she was being pulled along, Kiel looked back at Iris.
ㅤ
“Um, sorry. . . it seems like the island is in a bit of a mess. . . I’ll definitely make it up to you, so could you wait a little?”
ㅤ
“Master, let’s go too!”
ㅤ
Luke started running after Kiel.
ㅤ
“Eh~, it’s a hassle.”
ㅤ
“Stop complaining and hurry up!”
ㅤ
“H, Hey, wait! I’m coming too!”
ㅤ
Iris, Alma, Gaston, and Tyra followed.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Cyphos, who had started walking to follow them, looked back.
ㅤ
“Aren’t you coming?”
ㅤ
There stood Gale, alone.
ㅤ
“. . .What can I do if I go? With them there, they can handle an army.”
ㅤ
Gale muttered in frustration.
ㅤ
The desire in Gale’s heart to catch up with Luke had disappeared upon witnessing Iris’s strength, and he was even beginning to lose sight of his goal to become stronger.
ㅤ
If there is a realm that humans cannot reach no matter how much they practice, then effort is meaningless. . .
ㅤ
Suddenly, sparks flew in front of Gale.
ㅤ
Cyphos had struck his nose with the sheath.
ㅤ
“Ouch! What are you doing!”
ㅤ
“I told you, I’ll hit you without mercy when you’re off guard.”
ㅤ
Cyphos replied nonchalantly, carrying the sheath on his shoulder.
ㅤ
“Even a child could beat you right now, you’re full of openings.”
ㅤ
“Leave me alone.”
ㅤ
Gale turned his face away.
ㅤ
“Did your heart break after seeing overwhelming strength?”
ㅤ
“. . .”
ㅤ
Gale didn’t answer.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Whoa!”
ㅤ
Suddenly, Gale shrugged his shoulders.
ㅤ
A sword passed just above his lowered head, and a few strands of hair danced in the air.
ㅤ
“Ho, it seems you’re not completely helpless yet.”
ㅤ
“Ah, that’s dangerous! That’s a drawn sword, isn’t it!”
ㅤ
“No, you’ve always said that if you can’t get stronger, it’s better to die! I thought this was the time.”
ㅤ
Cyphos answered in a feigned manner to the flustered Gale.
ㅤ
“. . .Shut up.”
ㅤ
Gale spat out while blushing with shame.
ㅤ
“Well, I can understand how you feel. That’s a genuine monster. There’s no human in this world who can beat it.”
ㅤ
“. . .Are you okay with that? You’ve been revered as a Sword Saint. Can you accept someone stronger than you?”
ㅤ
“Well, who knows.”
ㅤ
Cyphos evaded the question and looked at Gale.
ㅤ
“What do you want? What do you want to do?”
ㅤ
“. . .That is. . .”
ㅤ
“Why did you come to this island? You should reconsider that reason.”
ㅤ
“. . .”
ㅤ
Gale didn’t answer.
ㅤ
Because he hadn’t found an answer to that question yet.
ㅤ
“. . .Why are you going? What will happen if you go?”
ㅤ
“It’s decided.”
ㅤ
Cyphos grinned.
ㅤ
“It’s interesting, that’s why. A demon that left its name in history has appeared before my eyes. It would be a waste not to see what it will do with my own eyes.”
ㅤ
With that, Cyphos turned around and started walking.
ㅤ
“. . .Damn it.”
ㅤ
Gale, who had been watching, followed him with a click of his tongue.
ㅤ
“What, you’re coming too?”
ㅤ
“I can’t be discouraged after being provoked so much.”
ㅤ
Gale lined up next to Cyphos with a grimace on his face.
ㅤ
“Besides, if the people of the Arrogas Kingdom have attacked this island, I have to go out.”
ㅤ
“Hahaha, even if you’re rotten, you’re still a prince. No, you’re not that rotten yet.”
ㅤ
“Say whatever you want. But I have a question.”
ㅤ
Gale said that and stared at the laughing Cyphos.
ㅤ
“You called that demon a demon earlier. Is that true?”
ㅤ
“Well, did I say that? I forget what I said just now when I get old.”
ㅤ
Cyphos shrugged his shoulders as if to dodge Gale’s question.
ㅤ
“Don’t play dumb. It’s not an ordinary demon that makes you, the Sword Saint, step back. It must be a demon king or something more than that. The only thing that comes to mind is a demon. Luke, where did you meet such a demon. . .”
ㅤ
Gale stopped talking halfway.
ㅤ
There was a legend that there was a forbidden area in the Arrogas Kingdom that was not on the map, and a demon that threatened mankind was sealed there. . .
ㅤ
Even Gale, a member of the royal family, was only told it was a legend.
ㅤ
But considering Luke’s unreal strength, it makes sense that it was brought about by a demon. . .
ㅤ
“. . .But. . .no way. . .no, that can’t be. . .”
ㅤ
Gale shook his head and quickened his pace.
ㅤ
Now is not the time to think about such things.
ㅤ
First, he had to confirm the demon and the Arrogas Kingdom that had attacked this island.
