69 – Northern Mountains (2)
[Saint, reverse harems are impure! [Excerpt from Volume 9, page 105]
Dersian calmly took a breath.
Geomseong. As his skills improved, he earned quite a grand title, and it seemed like the world was wide.
I never thought I would be caught in a place like this.
‘It will be difficult to finish it before Count Bertus comes.’
There was no way the burning fire could be extinguished.
What was originally the land turned black and dead, and every time the wind blew, coarse ash blew.
The embers fluttering here and there were in full bloom like flowers blooming at dawn.
As the mighty power rushed in, Dercian’s sword struck back sharply.
Silver shone sharply in the gray world.

“Keuheook…… !”
Boom. The mighty beastman warrior finally fell to his knees.
Blood flowed from the neck he was clutching. Needless to say, it was a fatal wound.
If things continue that way, I won’t be long before I die. It was fortunate for Dersian.
Because this person held on like an iron wall, time continued to drag on.
It was truly a strong and persistent enemy.
“───, ──!”
Was the defeat of the beastmen the starting point?
A sound that sounded more like a scream than a word rang out from a woman.
High tone voice. A noise that seemed to embody anger rang out, and a fire raged.
Like a whip hitting. No, it was a fierce fire, like waves crashing into the vast sea.
After thinking for a moment, Der Cian chose his avoidance. There was nothing he couldn’t take from the front, but he didn’t feel like he needed to.
The firepower probably won’t last long anyway.
If I could have unleashed this much power from the beginning, I would have done so a long time ago.
It was clear that the output was increased even if it was difficult.
Dersian, who was moving to avoid the threat, suddenly thought.
‘Shallow.’
Obviously, the power of each wave is terrible.
However, it was nothing compared to the sword strike of ‘Shadow Moon’.
How could I forget? The sword was eerily quiet, and even its shape seemed blurry.
The fear that even ten lives will not be enough. Yet, it is a beauty that arouses admiration.
The memories of that day were still engraved in the deepest part of Dercian’s mind.
So he was worth digging into.
Compared to Shadow Moon, this was a risk worth enduring.
Dersian squeezed under the scorching flames.
My skin felt like it was going to melt from the rushing heat. The fact that it was the same means that it wasn’t the case in the end.
As the distance closed in an instant, the red-haired woman had an expression distorted with anger.
When Dersian tried to cut off the woman’s head.
Three arrows flew with a sharp sound.
He suffered no harm. But he missed a good opportunity.
‘I guess I’ll have to deal with the archer first.’
The power of the arrow was not strong.
But the judgment was good. It kept breaking the flow.
When I turned my gaze slightly, I saw that the beastman warrior, who I thought was incapable of fighting, was slowly standing up.
‘It’s difficult.’
I could feel the divinity of the evil god Hybras in him.
Black and thick energy. An unbelievably ferocious force covered the body of the white tiger beast.
The instinct as a living thing announced that it was ominous.
With this, one of Dersian’s questions was resolved.
I was skeptical when the Hybras Church, which was still active, was designated as a xie jiao, but if it was such an ominous deity, I could not help but understand it.
The beastman’s voice sounded as if it would break at any moment.
“Not yet. Am. I, Galledin. Don’t die. “I didn’t.”
“It looks like that. But it won’t be long.”
“For me and my children. One fingertip. “I can’t say it.”
“The people who died because of you probably did the same.”
Dersian calmly adjusted his posture.
“Ha, ha, ha.”
Dersian shook off the bloody knife.
After the woman’s death, the burning flame disappeared like a lie.
It was a much tougher and stronger enemy than expected.
A warrior named Galledin bit him until he cut off his head, and the sniper tried to hinder him even at the moment of his death.
The flame of this talented person surpassed the magic of the archmage, even if only momentarily.
But now there were only three corpses.
Beneath Ilencia…… Are there people other than Count Bertus who are this strong?
Even with this kind of power, they only focus on war. It was a terrible thing.
Perhaps they cried out for war because they had military power.
‘The current era is running toward peace.’
There was no time to get lost in thoughts.
The source of Ilencia’s power. Dealing with him started now.
“Dersian Eshik!”
Dark red sword energy tore through the space and rushed through.
A vicious energy roared like a demonic beast, and the sharp greatsword revealed its fangs.
There is only one human being on this continent who spews out such hideous killing intent.
Razen Bertus. A masterpiece created by an evil spirit.
Red eyes seemed to shine from inside a helmet that resembled a devil.
“Yes, you came after all. Count Bertus. Your nemesis is here.”
“A nemesis? Ha, you cheeky bastard. “Are you calling yourself my nemesis with your skills?”
“But wouldn’t it be a waste of time?”
The silver light blocked the demonic beast’s fangs.
Should I say that too? Dercian already felt his strength fluctuating.
In that case, it was time to change our stance and wait for him to receive support.
‘Please don’t be too late, Ellis.’

Beastman warrior Galledin.
Mary, a person with fire-related abilities.
Sniper Haakon.
These three were the people we defeated on the battlefield.
At that time, Sirien and I were serving as firefighters on the battlefield near the gateway.
Then we were sent in after receiving an urgent request for assistance, but when we arrived, the situation was already dire.
The already half-destroyed guard post was littered with corpses, and the demons were running wild.
Most of the survivors who were somehow saved had no hope.
Fortunately, Galledin was only protecting the two young people, covered in blood.
At that time, Mary and Haakon were child soldiers like us.
Unfortunately, this happened often. The use of child soldiers to supplement the number of mercenary groups.
As a mercenary group, it’s okay if you get paid according to the number of people, and there are many children in this world who have no place to go.
It was not particularly rare for such child soldiers to die along with their seniors.
Galled Din was originally a member of another mercenary group, but when he came to his senses, only the kids were left behind him.
Anyway, those three started that day and have been together to this day.
Looking at the atmosphere, it seems like Galledin is raising two children.
He was practically my adoptive father.
“Why is it so hard to see your face? “I missed you, sister.”
“I’ve been very busy. “You’ve grown a lot now?”
“You’re even prettier than the last time I saw you!”
“Yeah, really?”
Mary followed Sirien a lot.
Because of their uniqueness, education was difficult for those with special abilities, and they often got injured because they could not handle their own strength.
A person who knows how to wield great power. Yet Sirien was the only one who could protect Mary from being harmed by her own powers.
Naturally, we became close friends with Sirien as she took charge of Mary’s education.
In the case of Galledin, she was a mature warrior from the first time they met, so there was nothing to mess with, and Haakon was mainly taught by Galledin.
However, she somehow made time for me every time she asked me to date her.
The taciturn Haakon nodded and politely bowed.
Galledin patted Hakon on the back and grinned.
“This guy has also improved a lot. “You will be surprised when you see it later.”
“I’m not looking forward to it.”
There is no need to make the greeting lengthy.
We haven’t been apart for that long, and we’ll continue to see each other in the future.
In particular, Galledin was a man who was quite thorough in his work.
“Well then, we’ll at least go on patrol. Mary! “Let’s unpack later and take a look around the area first.”
“Ah, yes! Sister. See you later!”
“Yes.”
As if he had promised in advance, he went out to look around.
I waved to the three and saw them off.
In the original work, the three people did not appear that prominently.
A one-time minor role that blocked Dercian’s path until I arrived.
Their death, which occurred in just a few sentences, was their first and last appearance.
If Galledin’s name hadn’t come up, I wouldn’t have remembered it either.
Still, at that time, Dersian was making a name for himself as a sword saint.
Even within Yeoju’s reverse harem, Dersian was considered to be quite strong.
Making Dersian suffer like that was like winning a lottery with a guaranteed win.
We cared for them with care as they were people who would become our strength.
If I had to guess, wouldn’t it be a power that was saved quite a bit in the original work?
Rajen was quite angry after witnessing their deaths.
Well, I’m always portrayed as angry in novels, so I’m not sure.

The three people disappeared from sight and examined the state of the procession.
Now we have nothing to see here either.
“Let’s go back to our seats soon.”
“Yes. By the way, Razen?”
“Why?”
Sirien smiled.
A small body snuggled next to me.
“Why don’t you hold my hand today?”
“Hmm. “I just do it because people are aware of it.”
“Is there any reason to pay attention? You are mine now. Rather, you have to prevent other people from paying attention.”
“I don’t think anyone is paying attention to me… ….”
“No? I’m sure there is. Things like stray cats. “I will never leave you alone.”
Well. Anyway, if you want me to catch you, I have to catch you.
Only after her two hands touched did Sirien show a satisfied expression.
“Huh. Okay, now let’s go back.”
