“Among my colleagues, I am the slowest to mutate. So, if I can, my final task is to give rest to my colleagues with you. I’ll take you to the basement.”
Ethan frowned at those words.
‘You did a good job of useless things.’
They tried to use themselves as they wished, and they took care of themselves as they wished.
After all, the end result is nothing but killing people.
‘It’s because they’re the ones who talk about knights, so they’re disgusting.’
That kind of consideration only touched Ethan’s temper hair.
“You don’t have to go with me.”
“What?”
“I will take care of it.”
The article responded as if frustrated.
“The priest has not yet experienced an ugly beast, so it seems that he doesn’t know what to say, but that is not solved by divine power alone. If you get hit by that claw once, the priest will fly away… … !”
The knight, who was looking up and down at Ethan, blurted his words.
It was because Ethan’s physique was stronger than expected.
‘No, I thought it was going to be corrupt because I was called a priest.’
But it wasn’t.
It was clearly felt beyond the priest’s uniform that his body had strong muscles.
‘Can you believe it even if it’s a paladin?’
He didn’t look too sluggish, though, and he had an ideal physique, well-balanced overall.
“Great.”
The knight coughed a few times and then corrected his speech.
“It’s not just one room, but it can survive several times. It will be difficult on your own though.”
“If it’s an ugly beast, I’ve already seen it from above.”
“What?!”
The knight’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
But did you mean that you came here with such an innocent mind?
Then something flashed in the knight’s mind.
“No, wait. If you’ve seen it from above, is it a chase? If that guy has changed, then the Lord! How was he? Did you come to the basement by another passage?”
“It’s noisy all the time. You just spread it out and do yourself a favor. I will take care of the rest.”
Ethan flew the new model and hit the knight’s abdomen.
“Uh-huh!”
dump!
In the sudden attack, the knight fell to the floor.
I could feel my consciousness getting more and more blurred.
‘no. If you lose your mind like this, you will turn into an ugly beast!’
He tried to hold on to the ritual until the very end.
But soon a warm energy enveloped his body.
It was the divine power that came out of Ethan’s hand.
Surrounded by such a calm energy, the knight fell into rest.
* * *
bang!
The soldiers panicked at the sudden roar.
“Don’t panic, everyone stay away from the building!”
It was the princess, Cynthia, who calmed them down.
She personally led the Imperial Army and was preventing chaos.
‘My uncle must have heard this roar too. But the distance from the conference hall to here is quite far. Until my uncle comes, I have to do something.’
Cynthia gave instructions to the knights.
“It may be a ploy by the rebels, so we strengthen the boundaries within the fortress. And with the remaining manpower, thoroughly check the inside of the fortress!”
“I obey the orders of the Princess!”
The knights who heard the order gathered the soldiers and moved in harmony.
That was then.

Quang!A roar rang out again.
Again, a roar was heard from the basement of the fortress.
Cynthia looked around.
‘Even though there was a commotion, Priest Ethan did not appear. no way… … ?’
Cynthia was blown away.
Again, I had a feeling that Ethan was caught up in something dangerous.
As I thought, I wanted to find a place where Ethan would be.
But she was the princess of the Empire.
I couldn’t leave my seat unattended.
Cynthia held her hands and prayed earnestly.
There was nothing she could do differently.
I can only hope that nothing will happen to Ethan.

“Ugh.”
The knight, who had fallen at Ethan’s hand, was awake.
He leaned against the wall and moaned.
“How did this happen… … .”
The knight looked down at his hands in disbelief.
His hand, which had been wriggling and transforming into an ugly beast, was healed.
The consciousness, which had gradually faded away, became clearer.
His mind was as clear as the days when he burned his heart as a knight.
“Have you really lifted the curse?”
I couldn’t believe the miracle that had happened to me.
It was a terrible curse that all the wizards who questioned the curse shook their heads.
Even the wizard, Scarlet, who was confident in his own skills, could not lift the curse and only suppressed it.
In fact, the knight thought that Scarlett was great just for that alone.
But Ethan has removed the curse itself.
So, of course, I was surprised.
“Besides, what is that kwonbeop skill?”
The knight swallowed dry saliva.
It was the moment when the prejudice I had for Ethan was broken.
Ethan’s fame had already spread throughout the continent, but, as rumors are common, he thought it was an exaggeration.
But in my own experience, it wasn’t like that at all.
Ethan had a speed that even the eyes of a knight could not keep track of.
It wasn’t just that it was fast.
He was also a talented person who could subdue a knight with one blow.
“I ate a good one.”
The knight burst out laughing.
– Priest has not yet experienced an ugly beast, so I guess he doesn’t know what it is, but that’s not solved by divine power alone.
– It’s not just one room, but it can survive several times. It will be difficult on your own though.
I remembered saying that, and suddenly I was offended.
The knight shook his head in agony.
“Wow! For someone with that skill, I would have been a hindrance.”
So it was rather bitter.
Being able to live again as a human was a miracle that would never come again.
Of course I was happy.
However, the knight did not dare to pursue Ethan.
Because Ethan was much stronger than himself.
“Is it better to know the subject and stay still? Otherwise, I should pursue it now.”
Ethan would prefer that he stay still and not disturb.
Knowing this, the knight struggled.
The knight longed for the miracle that had happened to him to happen to his other companions as well.
I wanted to see my living colleagues again.
The burning embers of hope rekindled.
The knight, who finally made the decision, went further inside instead of escaping from the basement.
Where Ethan was headed.

Vivian bit her lip.‘Didn’t your father not notice yet?’
When the regent returned, he and the princess were doing their best to calm the chaos of the fortress and determine the cause.
That’s why I didn’t seem to notice.
Ethan isn’t here.
‘Where the hell are you?’
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian wandered among the numerous soldiers and knights.It was dozens of times to hit the shoulder of the knights or soldiers’ armor.
Later on, my shoulders were all sore.
However, even after looking around, Ethan couldn’t find his nose.
“Whew.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian leaned on her knees and took a deep breath.The last place her eyes turned to was a building.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian’s eyes became determined.“It’s clear I’m still in there.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian took the risk and tried to enter the building again.Then someone’s hand stopped in front of her.
“It would be helpful not to go in.”
It was the red-haired witch, Scarlett.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian looked up at Scarlet with a watchful look.“who are you?”
“Isn’t what you can do more important than who I am?”
“What does that mean? If you want to speak, be straight.”
Scarlett was astonished.
‘Hey, look at how bold a young one is?’
Scarlett looked down at Vivian with curious eyes.
“That saint candidate is doing something very important right now. So you better not disturb me.”
“Do you know Priest Ethan?”
“then. I don’t know.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian’s eyes narrowed.“It’s strange. Why are you so calm? Does it have anything to do with this? So that’s what prevents me from going there.”
“Oh my, are you sure you don’t doubt me? You can’t use it if you’re suspicious of people. I was just helping the saint candidate.”
“… … .”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian stared intently at Scarlett.Scarlett did not avoid that gaze.
“It’s not up to you to decide if I’m helpful or not. I have to go find Priest Ethan.”
After saying so firmly, Vivian passed Scarlett.
The remaining Scarlett burst out laughing.
“Ahahahahahaha! He’s a really shy kid. Not cute either.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian must have realized that Scarlett was stronger and more dangerous than herself.But somehow, I ignored Scarlett and went inside the building.
After laughing for a while, Scarlett wiped away her tears and called for Vivian.
“Lady, can you stop for a moment?”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian, who hesitated, stopped.“The priest probably went underground. Go there.”
At Scarlett’s words, Vivian’s eyes widened.
‘I knew it was going to get in the way… … . He’s a strange person.’
But being grateful was grateful.
“Thank you for letting me know!”
Leaving those words behind, Vivian disappeared into the building.
Meanwhile, Scarlett turned to where the regent and the soldiers were.
“Hmm. Even if it’s okay for one person, wouldn’t it be difficult to rush in and disturb them?”
Would you like to try your hand?
Scarlett muttered a little.

Whoops!
The ground shook again.
Obviously, something had happened in the basement of the fortress.
The roar and tremors were almost equivalent to earthquakes.
That was then.
The knights and soldiers who entered the building to determine the cause returned.
the regent asked.
“What is the cause? Did you find out?”
“The shaking of the ground was severe, and the inside of the building collapsed everywhere, so I returned without being able to enter the basement. I’m sorry.”
“If there was a collapse inside the building, was the entrance to the basement blocked?”
“It is not.”
“Hmm.”
The regent was in trouble.
The face of her precious daughter, Vivian, flashed through her mind for a moment, but she couldn’t stay still.
If I made a mistake, even if I survived, I would have to return to the Empire with a significant loss of troops.
It was the family who left the empire in the hands of the elders.
Even because of his pride as an imperial family, he could not suffer such disgrace.
He went out before the knights and soldiers and shouted.
“At this rate, the entire team could be in danger. So I will go underground and find out the cause. Is there anyone out there who will follow me?!”
It was after the Regent Prince took the risk himself.
The hesitant knights and soldiers showed determined eyes.
“I’ll see you!”
“Please let me go too.”
It was the time when knights and soldiers raised their hands.
bang!
The entrance to the inside of the fortress building collapsed.
“What, what?!”
“The entrance to the building suddenly collapsed.”
“Are you okay until now?”
So far, the building has been cracked naturally due to the roaring from the basement.
But this time, oddly enough, the explosion occurred before the collapse at the entrance.
As if trying to block the entry of the regent and the soldiers.
The regent clicked his tongue in disappointment.
“Hurry up and secure the blocked entrance! No more delay!”
“All right!”
The soldiers began to clear the building debris from the entrance.
The regent was nervous.
It was difficult to get rid of the idea that all of this was a plate woven by someone’s hand.
