I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 153

153. Zagoras and Ekis (3)

Zagoras remembered that day.

The day I stepped out of the devastated land of demons and stepped into human land.

Fertile land, overflowing humans.

And hope.

It was truly a dream place.

After the ‘treatment’ of the Ludwig clan was over, Zagoras, who had participated in the war, saved himself as much as possible.

He chose to wait for the resurrection of the demon king rather than die while making a contribution in a war with no chance of victory.

Well, I didn’t forget to steadily absorb the vitality of weak humans.

Avoid all the metal and magic raining down from the sky like that.

He survived.

The opportunity has finally arrived.

Having infiltrated human lands, Zagoras scrutinized and analyzed human countries and cities.

He chose his land carefully to base himself on.

What caught his eye was the Kingdom of Terrasia.

A king fading away. The power play of the leeches next to the king. Often seen as a symbol of corruption, slums.

A terrible stench was coming.

The kingdom was rotting from its roots.

Zagoras had a hunch.

This must be the best place to spread your will.

And his prediction was exactly right.

Even though the war with the demons had just begun, Zagoras was able to become ‘Delion’, a member of the Golden Lion Knights, taking advantage of the already loosened vigilance.

After entering the Order of the Knights, he proved his ability and showed off his presence. His people died along the way, but it didn’t matter too much to Zagoras. He accepted that it was not a predation of his own kind, and that it was the fate of a weak killifish that would die someday even if it wasn’t him anyway.

In the meantime, Zagoras and Delion caught the eye of Terlos Okentia, who was only vice-captain at the time.

It is a word that is easy to use and has good power.

It made me feel that way.

The thoughts that Zagoras had while watching Terlos were probably the same.

A parachute who earned his place simply by virtue of his noble status.

The scent of desire far from integrity and innocence.

Above all… Terlos was terribly incompetent.

It is a ‘pig’ that is easy to use.

Having made that decision, Zagoras slowly took control of the Knights under the power of Terlos.

Zagoras cut off his branch first.

With just one vengeance to get rid of demons who would revolt against them if left alone, he got rid of the members with such convictions who set foot in the knights.

As time passed, the people who remained around were humans consumed by desires that were very easy for Zagoras to deal with, chasing after money and fame.

Even if the arrows rain down, I just need not be where the arrows land.

I don’t want to risk death even though I know very well that a great sacrifice brings honor.

On the contrary, I want someone to sacrifice instead of me.

Human beings are full of simple instincts and desires to survive and to enjoy a more comfortable life.

Zagoras couldn’t understand how these scum were able to set foot in the demon catching knights, but it was a good thing for him.

I risked it on their behalf, and used Terlos to put high salaries into their hands.

You can be safe and happy here.

And I kept reminding who it was all thanks to.

Around the time when they are slowly being eroded into the swamp of desire.

Zagoras thought the time was right and made a proposal to Terlos.

Let’s kill the knight commander.

And how would you like to become the general manager?

For Terlos, who was annoyed by the ambiguous position of vice-captain, he thought it was a very sweet proposal, but he didn’t hesitate, saying, ‘Let’s do it. Now I can get rid of that old woman.’ Zagoras was a bit taken aback when he answered like that.

How could it be so terribly twisted?

His choice was not wrong.

The thing in front of him was no longer human.

There was only a pig sitting in a chair, incompetent, intoxicated with power, faithful to its instincts.

However, to Terlos’ question on how to kill the leader.

Ras, who was sniffing the disgusting scent, raised the corner of his mouth and said that.

‘Some demon passing by will kill you.’

That night, the leader of the Golden Lion Knights died.

Accordingly, it was something that Zagoras and Terlos worked together, but officially it was recorded that way.

Zagoras still hasn’t forgotten.

His reaction as he blinked his eyes while scattering demonic energy over the corpse of the leader who had been stabbed deeply by Terlos’ sword.

Zagoras didn’t hide it anymore.

What if it was a demon?

Are you going to give up everything you’ve been leading up until now?

Look, is the blood on your sword right now the blood of a dirty demon or a noble human?

The red blood that came out of the sword.

Aren’t you proving your existence?

Terlos, whose face stiffened at Zagoras’ words, couldn’t open his mouth.

Zagoras stopped laughing and burst into laughter.

It was just fun.

Human beings are also funny beasts.

He had no doubt that Terlos would be able to keep his mouth shut.

Since then, Zagoras, who left Terlos in the position of captain and assumed the ambiguous position of vice-captain, took complete control of the Knights.

However, the people around him now were nothing more than trash.

Terlos was enough to be incompetent.

He needed someone who was more loyal and competent than this, yet had a weakness that he couldn’t go against even if he revealed that he was a demon.

It was time for a water change.

The new knights began to select those who had the most ability and potential.

He became his savior by giving a huge amount of money to a member who had a poor younger brother with a disease.

A maniac member with rather bizarre tastes personally kidnapped women and took them to the basement of his house.

He provided the necessary things and took over his weaknesses.

Those who had the slightest hint of going against his will, or those whose weaknesses were not clear, were eliminated at once.

Removal was easy.

Inexperienced new knights dying while dealing with demons happen in many other knights.

In the end, we arrive at the current situation.

Even with her horns exposed inside her knights, no one thought it strange.

“…I don’t feel well.”

Zagoras murmured as he was sitting in the captain’s seat and resting his legs on the back of Terlos, who was prostrated on the floor.

Terlos should have felt deeply humiliated, but there was nothing he could do.

It is thanks to his position as the leader of the Golden Lion Knights that he is recognized by his father, the chancellor of the Kingdom of Terrasia.

I was getting used to this kind of handling, and I was getting used to it.

Meanwhile, Zagoras was in trouble.

Things that happened after Krektar’s death were very unusual.

From noble mtl dot com

As the demons who prey on their own people appeared, it seemed that the land of the demons was also noisy, saying that the ‘nameless one’ would come again.

Moreover, the presence of Eisel Ludwig was a thorn in the eye. Even so, it was Zagoras who was avoiding Albed’s urgent contact for a while.

It was very ominous that he would.

I couldn’t get out of my head with such an ominous thought that if I became deeply involved in this incident, I wouldn’t be able to come back alive.

Krektar was attacked by an unknown swordsman.

It wasn’t even the work of the Knights.

In the first place, it would have been difficult for the Knights to discover him.

Even though his eating habits were unique, he wasn’t one to be easily defeated anywhere.

It was a strange thing.

The same was true of demons and Eisel who prey on their own people.

‘I thought I was on track now…’

Zagoras, who had been clicking his tongue, felt impatient.

Recently, I took the members and raided the slums thinking that I couldn’t stay still like this.

Originally, leaving no survivors in the subjugation process was something that was not often done.

Anyway, the Knights of the Golden Lion had to be managed by the allied forces just like other knights who catch demons, so it was to avoid the reputation of the knights and things that might cause suspicion.

Occasionally, it was limited to preying on one’s heart, including new knights to be eliminated.

At least until now.

Feeling impatience, Zagoras rushed and ate the humans without hesitation.

Even his loyal members expressed bewilderment at this, but he did not destroy his relationship with them to such an extent that he killed beggars in the slums.

They knew very well what would happen if they went against this.

Zagoras had to leave the stable ‘supply source’ he had established for a while. The source of supply and demand was very stable, but it was good in the long term, and in the short term, the efficiency was not good.

In the end, Zagoras achieves what he wants.

It was finally.

Although it was a bit late compared to his other comrades, he had just arrived.

The color of the horns sprouting from the forehead of Zago Ras, who was resting on his chin, showed his changed status.

The horns were not a black color with a hint of red remaining, but had reached a complete ‘black horn’.

The amount of demonic energy felt in his body.

The black horn, which I had only heard about, was on a different level.

How many children’s lives were lost before this horn was completed.

It was a terrible thing that he did not want to think about, but it was not something that his demon, Zagoras, was concerned about.

It’s been a while since I’ve been lost in my thoughts.

When he came to the idea of what to do with replying to Al Bed’s call, he pushed Terlos away from under his feet and stood up from his seat.

“Follow me.”

Saying that, Zagoras left the room.

If Albed had contacted Murka, things would have gone awry, but wouldn’t it be okay to be a little late?

Murka, who was also the commander of the unit, was feared by them.

“Keep a good house.”

Zagoras said without looking at Terlos, who was still lying on the floor before leaving the room with the members.

The members who follow him flirt.

Zago Ras and his teammates mounted the horse just like that.

An informant from the Silver Wing Knights who was watching this chanted into the crystal ball.

“The target is moving.”

***

Zagoras, riding a horse through the plains last night, encountered Saint Bernice and her knights who were waiting for them to pass through.

It was not a good situation for Zagoras, who was intentionally avoiding the saintess, although the others did not know about it.

They are blocking the road without any justification.

Bernice, who was said to often wear a pure white dress, was wearing a white cloak and was completely prepared for battle.

In a tense situation, it was Zagoras who spoke first.

“Aren’t you a saint? I’m Delion, the vice-captain of the Golden Lion Knights.”

“I already know.”

“…I didn’t know I was so famous, but it’s so glorious. But… How did you come this far? This wouldn’t be the Holy Lady’s front yard.”

Bernice answers in an unreasonable voice to the question of Zagoras’ blade.

“Since you seem very busy, I won’t drag you on for too long. It’s nothing else, Delion, I’m here to subdue you.”

“Subjugation?”

Zagoras frowned and got nervous.

The voice sounded like he was forgetting some kind of ghost, but on the other hand, Zagoras was completely confused.

‘What is it? When did you hear Has the recent raid on the slums stepped on its tail? No, it’s hard to reach the information that I’m a demon, unless I’m under suspicion from the beginning.’

When Zagoras doesn’t answer, Bernice opens his mouth again.

“What else could there be in subjugation? Just like what we do… Subjugate demons.”

“What do you mean by demon…”

Zagoras sighed, but Bernice raised his hand.

“Smash down.”

With her voice, a huge light pours down from the sky and covers the place where Zagoras was.

Divine power.

Ras screams as his body burns as he sleeps.

After falling off his horse, Zagoras rolled over to his side, dodging the beam of light.

“…Write it.”

As he wiped the blood from his mouth, Zagoras’ forehead revealed the horn he had been hiding.

A word from Bernice while watching this.

“Subjugation… Can I?”
