Chapter 32 - Back

Perhaps because of the caste system, it was a world where that young kid could enter the bar. There was no big person to kick out the new lord, so the took a seat without difficulty. Grant was showing with a smile, even though he compensated 10,000 gold.

“Prince Jeren, why didn’t you just ask me to visit you at your residence?”

Jeren raised his hand to stop Grant and looked back at Ed. Ed was looking at him because he felt some kind of mental conflict. Jeren seemed to hesitate for a moment and lifted the glass. When Grant filled the glass, Jeren emptied the drink at once. Eight year old Pretian. It was the most cost-effective drink Ed’s ever had, but it’s stronger than any other drink. As soon as he emptied his drink, his face turned red and he coughed up.

“Cough!”

The young man, who appeared with a heavy heart and emptied his glass, coughed and even blushed. It was even cute to see him holding his tears. Jeren blushed and breathed out, then looked at Ed.

“I was so busy at the time that I couldn’t even thank you. I thank you for avenge my parents.”

At Jeren’s words Ed could understand why he was so self-conscious and troubled. He was a aristocrat with a strong character. It is rare for them to thank others. He never thought he’d thank a mercenary who’s not a royal or a nobleman. Ed looked slightly down.

“I just did what I had to do.”

Jeren nodded at his words.

“He’s a man worthy of the name ‘demon hunter’.”

Jeren crossed his arms with a red face. And he took out a tooth from his coat. Jeren looked down at it and spoke.

“This is the teeth of the beast Appella, which the sixth lord killed.”

It was a tooth that looked a little short to be used as a dagger. Ed couldn’t remember what beast that was, but Thane, who was listening next to him knew right away.

“Wasn’t the beast Appella against the demons? I heard the Great demon stepped up and stopped it.” “Against the demons?” “That’s right, researchers said that it was a demon-eating species. They even argued that it should be called ‘Divine creature’ rather than a ‘Beast’. But I didn’t think it was right to argue about an extinct species, so I didn’t have to correct it.”

Jeren looked at the teeth and continued.

“Our family has been handing this down to every prince. It’s a symbol of courage that my father gave me.”

Ed thought the kid was drunk. Beast or Divine creature, whatever the Apella does, what’s all that fuss about with the tooth?

“It’s a piece of solidity that they handed down to the princes.”

Ed stopped paying attention to the drunk, muttering to himself, and emptied his glass. Jeren stuck out the tooth to Ed. When Ed stared blankly at his hand, Jeren opened his mouth.

“I was wondering what I could do to repay my parents for their resentment, but the name Demon Hunter reminded me of this. I have a long way to go to have my own child, and I hope this helps kill demons when I think of my parents who died in the hands of a demon.”

Jeren’s eyes were fixed on Ed. It was not a hazy eye under the influence of alcohol, but a firm determined eye.

“Kill the demons with this. I think my parents will laugh in the sky.”

Ed wondered what a fuss was about with a tooth, but he didn’t feel any reason to refuse. What they give is what you receive. Ed got the tooth and examined it. It may seem rude to check everything in front of his eyes, but Ed was told to use it as a weapon, so he carefully examined it. It is too short to use as a dagger, so he should use it as an arrowhead, but if he does so, it would be difficult to balance it. It was hard. Thane, who was looking at it with a smile from the side, said.

“The firmness of its teeth is indescribable to the fact that it is nicknamed the demon predator. The beast Appella was famous for chewing the demon’s bones.”

A beast that has already been extinct by the Great demon and has not appeared in the demon’s Age 1. Maybe it was a divine creature’s tooth. Ed picked up the tooth. If it works particularly well on demons, it can be made into an arrow even if it is a little uncomfortable to use. Especially, it is a suitable item to use the skill he got this time. Ed didn’t care much about the thickness because of his penetration skills, but with this added, he could attack harder. Ed put the tooth in his arms and nodded politely.

“I’ll use it to catch demons.” “Thank you.”

Jeren said so and stumbled as she stood up. When Herold in the back helped him, Jeren raised his hand as if he was okay and said.

“May the glory of Astron be with you in your path.” “I pray that the glory of Astron will be with the lord in the future.”

Jeren smiled and walked down the stairs when Herold helped him. Thane, who was looking at the back of Jeren, smiled.

“You’ve got something interesting. Are you going to make it an arrow?”

Ed lifted Apella’s teeth. A Sawtooth arrow. It would be very handy.

“Of course.”

He now had an arrow that was so powerful just by briefly listening to Jeren’s drunken whining. It was worth it for Ed.

It was a shiny carriage, but when Ed went inside, he felt satisfied because of the soft carpet chair. It’s not like Ed can see the flashing appearance inside of the carriage anyway, he just needs to ride. Ed was making an arrow in the carriage. He got the materials for the arrow before he got on the carriage. Turning Apella’s tooth for use as arrowheads. He attached feathers to the back so that it can ride the wind. He doesn’t know how effective this will be, but this arrowhead was longer than the other arrows because the tooth was so big. He put it in the ice barrel, and it didn’t seem to be a problem. After confirming that it was possible to keep the ice barrel, Ed leaned against the back of the carriage. He had a good night’s rest for about two nights, so he didn’t have to go to sleep because he was clear-minded. Ed took out the equipment and began to work on it one by one. Thane read through the demon’s book with a smile of satisfaction.

“The demons we’ve caught so far have no genealogy yet. That’s why I’m looking at intermediate demons and higher demons.”

There are 30 kinds of intermediate demons and fewer higher demons, so it is not difficult to pick out those who are not in the genealogy. And hunting becomes easier when you know what your opponent has.

“Is there anything I can do to help?”

Thane replied, tapping on his head.

“Take a rest when you can. I’ll use my head.”

Thane said, while reading through the demon’s book.

“I’m searching for Nefthael’s trail. But it’s as strong as the great demon, so it wasn’t hard to find. So we’re tracking the higher demon in his genealogy. I might be able to pin-point its location soon.” “It’ll pop out when its subordinates are killed.”

Suddenly, before Ed could say anything more, his instincts rang a bell. Something came in between himself. Instinctively Ed hugged Arin and Thane. When his two eyes grew bigger, a huge impact was delivered to the carriage and the carriage overturned.

Greg, who was chewing beef jerky with a big Battle Axe in his hand, opened his mouth.

“Are they mentally ill? They are riding in such a bright carriage.”

Sylvia, who struck a thunderbolt at Greg’s question, answered with a firm impression.

“What’s with that carriage?” “Why?” “It’s perfectly fine.”

Greg looked at the carriage and the horse. The shiny carriage rolled over without being cut off by Sylvia’s thunderbolt. Greg laughed in vain because he knew how strong her thunderbolt was.

“What? Is that possible?” “The light! It looks like a blessed carriage, but I didn’t expect it to be that strong.”

Greg burst into laughter at her words and said.

“Looks like they won’t be easy opponents. Then I’ll wrap it up.” “Be careful.” “Just back me up.”

Greg shouted so loudly and ran out with his horse. She knew Greg’s skills well, but Sylvia didn’t let her guard down. Prince Cliff did not show his ability in public, but his psychokinesis was one of the strongest. And considering Etrian’s skills and her artifact-class equipment, Greg can’t handle them alone. Sylvia also followed the horse and pulled her sword out. It was a gift from Prince Cliff. A mystic sword that uses wind. Sylvia’s eyes shone, holding a more meaningful artifact found by Etrian. A clear spell was forming over the sword of wind that she was holding, and a great force was ministering. It was surprising that the carriage endured the blow, but the mystique was prepared to blow off the necks of those who came out of it.

The carriage rolled wildly. Ed, who held Arin and Thane in his arms, stopped rolling before he looked at the condition of the group.

“Are you all right?” “I’m fine. What about Ed?”

His head was dizzy, but he was fine thanks to his high stamina.

“What the hell is going on here?”

When asked by Thane, Ed took out his bow and answered by preparing an arrow.

“Attacks flew from a distance. It’s like they used magic.”

Arin also stumbled and pulled up her sword and shield.

“The shaft was triggered by an external impact. That’s at least a four-tier magic user.”

Ed heard the sound of a horse’s hooves approaching quickly. An overturned carriage. The fate of Doug, who was driving the carriage, could not be confirmed. Ed kicked the carriage door and looked at the approaching man. A barbarian warrior riding a horse and carrying a large Battle Axe.

Ed fired three arrows when he saw the pouting wild-bearded barbarian warrior running cheerfully. Two arrows flew toward the barbarian warrior and one last toward the horse’s knee.

Kakang!

The barbarian warrior blocked both of the arrows, but his horse got hit in the knee. He jumped right back on the injured horse and started charging towards the carriage. Ed fired four arrows in a row at the barbarian warrior.

Kakakakan!

The barbarian warrior, who blocked the arrow with the face of Battle Axe, was pushed back by the shock. Ed tried to get out of the carriage’s door, but he read the wind coming from the sword of a woman running behind the barbarian warrior, and stopped everyone from trying to get out.

“You can’t go out. There’s someone out there that uses magic.”

They didn’t know that Ed could sense magic. At that point, Arin said with her shield out front.

“I can’t continue to protect the carriage with my divine powers anymore because I’ve already used it once. I have to go out anyway.”

Ed hurriedly fired an arrow at the magician so that Arin could go outside. The arrow flew around her and away. Perhaps because she was a wind-handling magician, she was well defended against long-range attacks. The magician wielded a sword of wind. The blade of the terrible wind flew from all directions to the point where it was hard to figure out how many blows were coming. Ed wondered if his stamina and equipment could withstand it. Then Arin put her Holy Sword in front of her chest. Then a large circle of blue light emerged around her. The ability of the Holy Sword was never seen before. They don’t know why the sword has a protective shield, but the protective shield even wrapped the carriage. And all the blades of the flying wind bounced off. Ed looked at Arin’s back. A small but indefinitely strong back. Her back was the most reliable.
