Chapter 646
EP·646
After Laual disappeared, there was nothing the Demon King’s army could do.
Since Raual Eve was their greatest power and they were not even at the level to attack the dwarf train in the first place, no one felt frustrated at the reality that they had no choice but to just sit back and wait.
If they had the ability, they would have fought on the front lines. They were already accustomed to situations where they could only stare silently at the process of drying blood stuck to the silver chalice on the closed coffin lid and pray for the success of the attack.
However, it is not that I do not feel a sense of relative helplessness, but that I do not feel even anxiety. As each hour or two passes, the anxiety grows in size, accompanied by restlessness.
When the sound of a train passing by in the distance flashed by like lightning, they were anxious that it had finally begun. Needless to say, when they saw a bright light flashing that could be seen even from beyond the forest, what they had been worried about up until that moment was not Raual’s one-sided defeat, but that Eldmia had held out so well that Raual’s retreat was delayed and she would end up crossing into the dwarven kingdom.
No one makes fun of Eldmia. It was simply because she was a monster that couldn’t die unless the opponent destroyed the Holy Grail. If she couldn’t even enter the train and was intercepted, then it would be fine. If she could just get inside, she could inflict fatal damage, if not kill, and then leisurely escape. That’s Laual.
There were only that many troops on board the train, even considering the variable warrior Eldmia.
That is why the agents of the operatives had no doubt that Laual would return sooner or later.
But by the time the train finally arrived at the Dwarf Kingdom, a look of despair had settled on everyone’s faces.
“Mission failed.”
Nevertheless, when they first heard the conclusion that came out of the wizard’s mouth, the demons flinched without realizing it.
“It might not be too hasty a judgment···”
“We all know that it’s not a hasty judgment. It simply takes a long time to return. If we deny reality any longer, our tails will only grow longer. Raual has failed. He must have been tied up in a situation where he couldn’t return, and since he didn’t impose any restrictions on us not to reveal anything, if we’re unlucky, he might report us.”
I don’t know how an immortal who can’t die could fail.
The wizard, who deliberately swallowed his words and stood up, looked at the Holy Grail while pressing his aching temples.
I didn’t think or believe that I could kill the warrior of the machine. However, there is also the possibility that Raual will not return. Unless I prepare in advance... No, even if I prepare, it is difficult for the vampires remaining on the continent to fail to ‘escape’ even when facing a master-level opponent.
Even if it was only half of the divinity he had plundered for his own protection, it had to be a done deal that Raual had fled. Now that he couldn’t do that, the action he had to take was simple.
Destroy the Holy Grail, silence Laual’s mouth, destroy the evidence, then disappear. Then report all of this.
“From now on, my top priority is to report this incident to my superiors. Eldmia Ega, the warrior of the machine, possesses a power we are unaware of. Rather than prioritizing the assassination of Eldmia Ega, my top priority is to find out what that power is...”
The moment he says this to pull himself together and reaches out his hand toward the Holy Grail,
“No way, fuck, if I keep doing that I’ll get screwed.”
A dull, gloomy voice, devoid of any sign of life, came from behind the wizard without warning.
Although he was a wizard who tried to remain calm in any situation, this time he couldn’t help but be shocked. He turned around with a hasty twist of his body and saw his colleagues looking at the intruder with a look that was not much different from his own.
“Wouldn’t you like to stay still? If you don’t want to go with your head pulled out, then...”
The demon didn’t bother to disturb the magic flowing through the wizard’s body. He just looked at him with tired eyes. However, the wizard felt as if there was an abyss in those eyes, so he unintentionally wet himself.
“What are you trying to do? Why on earth are you trying to do this to me...”
“Ask your master about that.”
Am I going to be dragged to Manmajeon?
My heart starts beating like crazy as I feel like an ending I never imagined I would experience in my life is approaching.
The scenery on the other side that opened with the devil’s light gesture seemed not much different from where he was now, but his brain had already recognized the other side as Manmajeon.
“I hate poetry···”
I don’t like it.
Since I was already in a position to carry out a secret operation in the middle of an enemy country, I was prepared to die.
But I never imagined that I would be caught by the devil without any reason and die a horrible death. At that moment, I felt a surge of resentment and wanted to scream, but I couldn’t make a sound because I remembered the devil’s eyes and warning I had just seen.
All he could do was struggle, hanging on to the demon’s wrist, to ease the pain he felt on his scalp. As he passed through the passageway opened by the demon and his world grew distant, the wizard entered the realm he had thought was the Manmajeon all the way to his feet, and he realized that this was not the Manmajeon, but the path of the dwarven train.
I don’t know what they did, but there were cracked railroad tracks and the ground was strewn all around, but it was clear that even the setting sun was the sunset I had been watching with my colleagues.
“Master! I caught him!”
While he was looking around blankly, unable to figure out what was going on, the devil’s voice caught his attention. However, because his hair was grabbed, he couldn’t turn his head and was dragged along wherever the menacing hands went.
“I found the Holy Grail! This guy was the leader!”
“Alone? What about the rest?”
“It was there, but it’s not there anymore!”
The demon, who had slid down to his knees without a moment of hesitation, grabbed the wizard’s hair once more and pulled him forward. For a moment, he thought his neck would snap, but that kind of pain became insignificant in front of the shocking identity of the ‘master’ before his eyes.
“Not bad”
The warrior of the machine sat on the dented railroad tracks like a chair, with the dying Raual Eve behind him, a sword stuck in his heart, and stared at him with eyes that showed no emotion.
It was a moment when the wizard felt as if he had been possessed by a demon.
