130. Chase
‘found. I found it!’
Finally found it.
The highest peak of Erzest. Not far from there, in a hidden and invisible basin.
There was a heterogeneous building that did not fit into the mountains.
The jet-black tower contrasts with the pure white snow.
The Demon King’s Tower.
and the Tower of Chloride.
Orcs in a row enter there. A magic cannon is placed inside the tower.
‘A magic cannon inside the tower.’
Daphner quickly recorded the position. In order to never forget it, I left it as a record and marked it on a map I made myself.
‘But here…’
Somehow I’m familiar with it.
It was there.
When I first climbed Erzest to find the tower, it was almost the last basin I checked.
Clearly not before. But now it was.
how? I had a question
‘I didn’t find it?’
‘Has the tower been moved?’
‘Did you hide the tower?’
I do not know. In the former case, it was his carelessness, but at that time, he always maintained sharpness after climbing the mountain.
It sounded like a compliment, but it didn’t happen. The second case I’ve never heard of.
Over the past millennium, once a tower was built, its location never changed until the demon lord died and collapsed. That was the truth.
‘then.’
The tower was temporarily hidden. how? There are quite a few ways.
Either using magic, or using the terrain.
‘The third prince.’
was nowhere to be seen. While following the Orcs in the first place, no trace of the 3rd Prince could be found.
‘There were no demons. Even the dark Elementalist.’
it’s not the top Where did those people go?
‘For now, let’s go back.’
It was more important to find the tower than the prince.
What was the reason that Hilderan, who had been kidnapped by the Crown Princess, could not save her?
The Jespine Empire, which lost the 9th Princess, and the 13th Princess, Hilderan.
What is the reason for not being able to do anything and swallowing anger?
Because they don’t know where the tower is. Because you can’t find a clear target to pour your anger on.
Because Erzestra is blocked by the divine prohibition, unable to grind astronomical manpower and resources to find the obscure tower.
But now it’s different.
Having found the tower, the Empire can spend its bravery without hesitation. No, the bravery had already been predicted.
so.
“Your Majesty the 3rd Prince, you just have to suffer a little in the arms of the Demon King.”
Then the Empire will come to the rescue soon.
Although the name of the captured third prince will fall, what does it matter?
The name of the Daphner Philian who found the tower would be higher.
The smile on his lips deepened.
And soon, it disappeared.
It was two days before Berger, who spread his wings, arrived.
* * *
“none.”
no. No.
Berger, who arrived at the tower, muttered in despair.
They came up along the path the Ful Orcs had walked and searched all of them. I searched through the basin where the tower was located.
Still, the Daphner Philian was nowhere to be seen.
However, faint traces remained in the basin.
That made it hotter.
came here
saw the tower.
and ran away
It was the worst.
have to catch You must make sure you don’t go down the mountain alive.
The dead do not speak.
“Gordon!”
“Without the Demon Lord, the tower’s functions will be greatly reduced. I don’t know if it was inside the tower, but I couldn’t care about the outside… I’m sorry. It is my negligence.”
In the end, it was all excuses. A hero came and went in front of me, but the lieutenant didn’t know that. Gordon clenched his teeth, as if angry.
“sorry. At that time, I didn’t know that it could have been a hero.”
Croutu shook his head. On the way back with a cannon, he said that he felt strange only once.
But it disappeared soon after, and they said it was just an animal.
“If Daphner is determined to hide, it’s not unreasonable that you can’t find it.”
Then, if I had noticed.
Then, if I had caught it.
I wouldn’t have been able to rot my head like this.
But Berge struggled to contain his anger and lifted him up.
‘It’s just anger.’
Gordon and Croutu’s incompetence is torn apart, but anger is not the solution. Now was the time to persuade the orcs to catch their escaped prey.
“Blocking the other two kingdoms is cancellation. From now on, you guys are looking for Daphner Philian, that damn bastard.”
“I take orders.”
“Lavinia.”
“yes.”
“How many demon dogs do you have?”
“Five. New.”
“It was pretty well made. Release them all.”
“yes.”
A demon dog is a dog chasing a demon. A dog that is more sensitive to magic. However, being sensitive to Magi meant that he felt the opposite power of interference better than anyone else.
Because I can feel the energy I hate the most.
“Find interference. Find a warrior.”
“Cher. Warrior.”
“That’s not allowed. You, of course, don’t go out on your own.”
It must be rectified somehow, but Berger was assuming the worst. If the Daphner Philian went down the mountain safely and the tower was illuminated. It was discovered that I had kidnapped Lavinia, but I couldn’t create a new enemy called Akan after Jespine and Hilderan.
released the devil
The Orcs who put cannons inside the tower were scattered in all directions according to the order of the Demon King.
“Don’t waste time clashing with monsters! Finding him is the first priority!”
And Berge rode a wolf with Ernyl. It flies fast, but there is a lot to miss. I had to ride a wolf and find him with certainty.
“You go with me.”
“Shall we release the spirit?”
“Release. The search party is on the other side anyway.”
Dozens of spirits were scattered in all directions.
“You must catch it.”
and kill
Berge showed his intent to kill.
* * *
Whoo!
The horn that sounded the snow mountain stopped. The arrow broke the horn. An orc with a hole in his throat fell.
“…you don’t give me time to rest.”
Daphner paused for a brief rest and raised his heavy body.
How many days has it already been?
I was tired, so I floundered. I only remembered that night and day had changed a few times.
‘Damn bastards.’
A swear word came out of nowhere.
In the distance, I heard the sound of a trumpet, and I could feel the signs approaching. They were Fear Orcs riding the Frostwolf.
“How many guys are there?”
I lowered my body as much as possible and ran. Normally, I would have erased my footprints and even got rid of the smell, but now I can’t afford to do that.
‘How did this happen?’
It must have been four days after finding the tower and starting the descent.
The orcs began to appear one by one, and the number increased.
If you add up the monsters they drove, there were countless.
I could neither rest nor sleep properly.
Three days later, Daphner realized that they were not just chasing him, they were chasing him.
‘Waiting for someone?’
Perhaps the Four Heavenly Kings
‘It’s obviously a dark spiritist, or that demon. Perhaps that demon is also the Four Heavenly Kings.’
Can two demons fight at once to win? Both were advanced demons, and in particular, demons who dealt with black flames could not fully guess their level.
I don’t know if it’s in perfect condition, but I couldn’t say for sure in a tired state like now.
‘I saw the tower and they noticed it.’
The hidden tower was one of the great assets of the Demon Lord of Fire. Now that the secret has been revealed, he will try to hide it again somehow.
The most certain way is to kill and annihilate.
‘You can’t be caught…!’
Finally found the tower. It was entirely his fault to find out. That sweet fruit is right in front of you.
That was then.
the shadow is gone
Daphner hurriedly flew away. A huge body fell from where he had just been.
“Warrior. You cannot run away.”
“what.”
During the fierce battle, the one who stopped him from trying to kill the Four Heavenly Kings.
“Was it you?”
The suffocating tension was released.
“thank you. Thanks to you, I found the tower.”
And thank you for leading the orcs and guiding Daphner to the tower.
“…you boy.”
Croutu was furious.
Since he became a member of the Demon King, it was the first time he had seen Berger so angry. Thinking that he was the one who provided the starting point, the bua was close to being dense.
“If it wasn’t for you…!”
it wouldn’t have happened
Croutu roared. Black magic gushed out over the smooth blade made by the Dwarf.
“Yeah, come in.”
Daphner grabbed the bow.
Ten arrows were generated in a single aim.
Wedge-
Direct yarn, howitzer, floating. Ten arrows rushed towards Croutu with different trajectories.
Croutu jumped off the wolf. Blade hit half of the arrows in a day. Rolling on the floor to avoid two feet, he turned his body to split the remaining three feet.
At that moment, his shoulder was pierced. He smashed the magic that was wrapped around his body and dug into his flesh.
“Jerong looked good. Do you think that ten shots are the end of ten? It’s not that simple.”
Two arrows were shot into his stomach in succession. Cthuru clenched his teeth. endured the pain and ran.
He burst out laughing when he reached in front of him.
“It’s over.”
“Did you think you could win if you narrowed the distance?”
really?
───!
Fireworks went off. Magi and Aurors ate each other.
A short dagger appeared. Croutu hit it with all his might, but Daphner didn’t even move.
Kaga-gak-
The dagger climbed up the side of the blade. Croutu missed the blade in anticipation of aiming for his finger. At that moment, a long scar was drawn on his face.
“It’s a shame.”
Daphner wiped the blood off the dagger.
“I could have split my face.”
Daphner took a step back and caught up without missing Croutu. Crute, who had picked up the blade in a hurry, resisted.
Wedge-
The sword drew a blue trajectory. Crute’s drops of blood dyed his pure white eyes red.
His dagger was heavier than Cruthu’s sword. It was faster and more flashy.
He overpowered Croutu in every way.
One swing soon resulted in one wound.
Croutu, who was covered in blood, knelt down. The upper body that was about to collapse was barely supported by leaning against the blade.
Daphner held the dagger in reverse.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to play with you anymore.”
Fear Orcs are rushing in from all directions. And I didn’t know when the childish demons called the Four Heavenly Kings would come.
Daphner lowered his dagger.
That moment.
Hwareuk-
Black flames were clinging to it.
shadow has fallen
quaw-
A demon with spread black wings fell.
“found.”
Berge with black hair and black eyes looked at Daphner with an expressionless expression.
“Cruto, step back.”
“However···!”
“Don’t say it twice. Move the croutu.”
The Puer Orcs, who were expressing awe at the appearance of the Demon King, hurriedly dragged Croutu away.
Until then, Daphner was unable to move. A suffocating feeling of living and pressure engulfed the surroundings.
“…the Four Heavenly Kings.”
“Four Heavenly Kings?”
Berge looked back, but Ernn wasn’t there. It was natural. Because they witnessed the battle and flew first.
“…are you talking about me?”
“Who is here if it’s not you?”
“… am I the Four Heavenly Kings?”
The fact that Ernyan calls himself the Four Heavenly Kings at will.
What makes Kaede and Lavinia the Four Heavenly Kings.
It didn’t matter.
“But I can’t stand calling me the Four Heavenly Kings.”
Of course not, though.
“More than seeing the tower.”
Anyway, your guy.
“I will survive and get out of this mountain . . .”
────!
The arrow interrupted Berge. After a moment’s hesitation, Daphner turned his back and fled.
“I am cowardly! It’s polite to give yourself time to change or talk!”
Ernya, who arrived late, shouted.
“What nonsense? A surprise attack is natural.”
Berge snorted as he looked at Daphner’s back, which was quickly moving away.
I missed him because I couldn’t chase him before.
But now it’s different.
All 5 million magical points were used to cancel the interference.
Compared to the total interference force applied to him, 5 million, the interference released by it was not much.
But a little of that allowed Berge to take out his wings.
So again.
spread its wings
towards the warrior.
made an emergency
yes offc you love to talk so much that you let him run.
