CH 71

: hatch (3)

Ricky was the first to notice.

Ricky, who was reading and playing with Anna, jumped up from her seat.

brother?

Ricky walked to the window without answering Anna's call.

A huge ominous feeling was felt over the ridge, which was hardly visible from the Apton branch.

A warning bell rang in my mind.

"Everyone will die."

"What do you say, brother?"

"If you stay still, everyone will die."

What the hell is this horror?

Although Ricky had experienced the endless malice that humans radiate, it was the first time he felt such blind evil.

Chicken meat was sprouting all over the body. My fingers trembled uncontrollably. Ricky clasped his hands tightly so as not to tremble.

"I don't understand."

Anna, who had not yet awakened the power of an adult, was still an ordinary girl.

Ricky thought he was lucky to have such a little brother. At least I don't have to feel this blatant evil.

The downstairs was noisy.

It was only a little late, but they too had no choice but to feel this ominous feeling.

"Apostle! Lady!"

A priest opened the door and hurried in.

"You must leave."

"Oh, brother?"

" Let's go, Anna.

It is only a burden to be here now, since the goddess has not yet recovered.

Ricky took his brother's hand and followed the priest.

At the same time, the marquis was also furious.

"How the hell?!"

Marquis Bell jumped to his feet in disbelief.

Haven't you been able to afford it yet?

[Daemon] never moved actively. Although we failed to track them down, there was no sign of danger.

Was all this planned?

"Who is out there!"

"Did you call me, Marquis?"

"Tell Sable to come."

The butler who received the order went to call Sable.

After a while, the butler returned and said:

"I don't see an assistant."

what?

"He said he hadn't seen it before. It looks like he went out."

At this time, he left without a word.

I've never had anything like this before.

He was the one who always got permission to go out if he had to go out.

At that time, the knight commander hurriedly ran.

"Marquis. In Miri's Forest... ."

"I felt it too."

"What should I do?"

" Gather your troops. I direct it myself."

"I will obey your orders."

This ominous feeling in the forest of Mirinine.

The demons were clear.

Whether Sable was involved in this or not, the important thing now was that Apton would be in danger if he stood still.

Marquis Bell stood up.

The waiters approached him and began to put on the armor he had prepared.

That's when Sears came.

She entered the office with her sleepy daughter in her arms.

father. What the hell is this?"

do not worry.

"What the hell are you hiding from me?"

"It's okay to eat comfortably. Rather, where is Jamie?"

"I will be sleeping in my room."

"Stay close to me."

After that, the Marquis put on the armor without saying a word. And holding the baton, he was ready to go out.

Then, one of the butlers rushed up to me.

What's going on?

"Jame, Master Jamie !"

"Why Jamie?!"

"Mom! Aww!"

When Jamie was mentioned, Sears rolled her eyes and grabbed the butler's collar.

Sarah, who was next to her, grabbed her leg and started crying.

The butler swallowed dry saliva and said cautiously.

"Look, I can't see it."

what?!

"Jamie!"

Sears ran straight to Jamie's room.

The Marquis followed after her daughter while holding Sarah.

There were already people in Jamie's room. They found the Marquis and Sears and quickly cleared the way.

Then I found Jamie lying in bed. The sleepy face was always Jamie.

It was said that he had just disappeared, but then I wondered what was going on.

"It's a pile."

The old man standing by the bed said so.

He was the magician of the marquis.

As he drained mana through Jamie's body, with a pop, Jamie turned into a log.

Sears, whose legs were loose, sat down.

I remembered Jamie asking about Miri's Forest.

"Ah, father ."

"Why?"

"Jamie, Jamie. I think I went to Mi, Mirin's forest."

what?!

Jamie went to Miri's Forest.

It was a word that was incomprehensible to the Marquis.

How did the kid know about Miri's Forest?

Do you know what will happen if a child goes alone in that dangerous place in the first place?

"I think the aide told Jamie. Me, about the Mine forest."

The Marquis' eyes widened when Sable was mentioned.

Is this a coincidence or necessity?

"What about my son? my son... ."

"Don't worry, tell me. This father will surely bring him."

The Marquis hugged her crying daughter and patted her on the back.

egg is broken

No, the expression 'broken' was not appropriate.

It wasn't the shell, it was the surface of an egg that looked like flesh. Rather than being broken, it was the correct expression to say "it came out torn".

As for the importance of such an expression, I had to think about such useless thoughts now.

'That way, I can forget even a little bit of fear.'

He hadn't come out yet, but his body trembled at the vicious energy he felt inside the torn egg.

Nebro, who was already dead, was terrified even though he shouldn't have felt fear.

[Lord, Master. It is a monster that tramples even death. You must run away. Even 1 second faster... !]

It was a little disappointing in this part that the level was low.

If he had made a higher-ranking wizard into a lich, he wouldn't have lost his mind in the same situation as he is now.

understood.

Because demons are such creatures.

A race that infinitely despises the weak. Because it is deeply engraved in their genes, a race that intimidates the weak just by being there.

The greater the gap, the more the weak suffered a severe blow to their minds and spontaneously surrendered.

'The problem is, the Nebro has lost its taste even though it hasn't even appeared yet.'

[Master, Master... Please .]

Jamie, on the other hand, was still tolerable.

Of course, if he gets out completely, he will have to borrow the power of the 'Perfect Cell'.

Mana consumption would be severe, but unlike then, I was confident that I would maintain it for a long time.

That's why I didn't like demons.

Because they harmed all living things just by standing still.

"Go back, Nebro."

[But, my lord! I might really die!]

Okay.

[host !]

Jamie lifted his hand and Nebro was countersummoned.

Allies who are drowning in fear only grab their ankles.

It was a Nebro that ate a large amount of mana already. It was helpful to go back if it was useless.

At that moment, an arm popped out of the egg.

His arms were bright red, as if they had been marinated in blood.

"Can I be alone?"

A voice came out of his arm.

Exactly, it was inside the egg.

A hand grabbed the egg skin and ripped it apart.

There, the legs, the head, and the torso appeared little by little.

Jamie swallowed dry saliva.

A cold sweat ran non-stop from his forehead. He clenched his teeth as he saw the demons walking out of the egg.

"Whoa-"

The demons removed the sticky egg white.

"Coming to Earth like this is also annoying."

Then he turned to look at Jamie.

what do you think?

Instead of eyes, there was a black flame, his nose was not cut off, his ears were pointed, and his body was slender overall.

His skin was rough as if he was wearing armor made of blades, and there were savage V-shaped horns curling up above his head.

Jamie knew.

The more complex the form of the demon, the higher the rank.

Exactly, like the demon in front of you.

" Are you noble?"

"Oh- Do you know anything about demons?"

Contrary to their terrifying appearance, demons had a pretty sly personality.

Humans are the same, but demons cannot be judged by their appearance.

But they also had one thing in common.

"Would you like to chat with a human after a long time? Eat later."

The point was that they only saw humans as prey.

The demon opened his mouth.

"My name is Reeta. He is the baron of the Great Demon Realm."

'baron !'

Again, it was a demon belonging to a noble family.

I guessed it from the moment I felt that figure and the terrible magic, but I hoped it wasn't.

Reetta smiled as she watched Jamie's face harden. He smiled happily, but to Jamie, he saw nothing but a vicious smile.

"Don't be so scared. As long as I have descended to Middle-earth, it is already irreversible, right? If you're scared, you're only going to lose, so take it easy.

"Be filthy and kind."

"Hey, aren't you scared?"

Jamie activated 'Perfect Cell'.

With the dazzling light, all the memorization that had polluted the mind was lifted.

"I think I'm going to live a little now."

"Have you got something good?"

Reeta seemed a little surprised, and made an interesting expression.

"Can you give it to me?"

I'm crazy? I will give this to you."

"Ugh. Then there is nothing you can do."

thud!!!

Reeta's bright red magic soared up to the sky.

Jamie swallowed dry saliva at the immense power.

All life in the forest ran away from it as far as possible.

A power that seemed to deny all living things just by existence began to spread like a mist.

"Wait a minute."

A voice I didn't want to hear resounded with joy.

Jamie raised his mana and remembered how much power the Demon Baron had.

"At least, the master class !"

That was the power of the lowest rank among the 5th place in the Demon World.

* * *

Sable frowned at the demonic power he could feel from afar.

It was a magi that was uncomfortably unpleasant just to feel it.

"I don't know why this happened."

If it was scheduled, it should have been in a state just before hatching by tomorrow. That way, even if the Marquis noticed it, there would be no way to stop it.

However, the demon broke the egg and came out sooner than expected.

"With the heart that the monster took, wouldn't it have begun to hatch?"

Sable shook his head.

The more you think about it, the more confusing it becomes.

The demon has hatched, and what he has to do doesn't change.

The schedule has just been pushed forward.

"Is it better?"

The Marquis Bell was also slowly realizing that he was an insider.

It was probably his last chance, and he must have convinced himself that he was the enemy at the moment he failed.

Before that, the demons, which were the final stage of the plan, hatched.

There was no one in Apton who could stop the demons.

At that time, a red pillar soared up to the sky from the direction of Mirinine Forest.

Sable's eyes lit up with that gigantic magi.

'Master class. Was it the Demon Realm noble who hatched?'

There was one thing the monster misunderstood.

The point is that demon eggs are not a device for hatching babies.

It was a ceremony for descending demons from the demon realm to this earth.

'In the original case, it would have been normal to have descended as a demon knight rather than a nobleman.'

Sable compared the power he felt from the red pillar with his own.

'It's worse than me.'

If so, it was clear that the last baron among the 5th place had descended.

As long as demons with master-class power have appeared, all of Apton's existence will be treated as weak.

All obstacles have already been blocked by him.

Sable drew his sword.

Now is the time to do what needs to be done.

Apostle. And a saint."

called children.

By now, you will feel the power of the demons and be trembling.

His eyes gleamed coldly.

Today the Pyros will lose a lot.

So in the end, the power will be reduced to the point where you can't spread your qi, and the goddess will lose power.

"The balance is broken."

One of the twelve cornerstones will disappear as of today.

The flow of the world began to lean toward the master he served.

"Eternal peace."

Sable took the ring off his finger and threw it on the floor.

Then the sealed divinity spewed out like an explosion.

"Engrave on the tip of your sword."

He was the knight of Zenith and the first sword of 'Seven Knights'.
