Chapter 178.

Just as Seon-Hyeok insisted, Redvern did not suffer after devouring the banshee. On the contrary, the wyvern licked its chops while expressing regret for the quick meal, and Geheimnis was left speechless at the creatures appetite.

Looks like its done digesting the banshee, seeing as the attribute stat increased.

In the end, Geheimnis sighed as she spoke, looking at both the wyvern and its master as though they were crazy.

[You were lucky this time, but it would be wise not to expect this to happen again next time. Demons are not to be underestimated.]

Seon-Hyeok did not deny the fairy dragons words.

He had enjoyed an easy victory because they came face to face with a poison attribute creature, but he was not delusional enough to expect that to happen again.

He was not that naive when it came to battle.

I never underestimated it. Also

Seon-Hyeok clutched his lance as he peered beyond the cursed land.

Its not over yet, is it?

A banshees wails could be heard from afar, as though responding to his question.

[So, you knew that what you just faced wasnt the creatures true body.]

Itd be strange if I didnt realize that with all this demonic energy emanating from that thing.

Having experienced the energy once, Seon-Hyeok began to notice a number of things that slipped his attention previously.

The melancholy wails of the polluted land, and the demonic creatures energy that swallowed up these death throes.

Seon-Hyeok once again climbed onto Redvern and rose up into the air.

***

I dont know what the Queen Regent expected from us when she sent us.

Lafayette sighed as he saw Drachen fight what seemed to be a demonic creature in the distance.

We couldve at least tried something against that first creature

Roland nodded, his expression full of shame as he responded to Lafayette.

His eyes were trained somewhere far away in the sky.

Even the bizarre creature that first appeared seemed difficult to handle, with its unpredictable and strange movements. The griffin riders were shocked as they saw the banshees resilience in shaking off the powerful charge unique to Drachen - an attack they had experienced themselves.

However, even that creature was nothing compared to what followed.

The fluttering, curtain-like appearance was similar to what preceded it. However, its threatening nature was anything but comparable.

The dark red membrane was large enough to completely cover one portion of the sky. It was as though a red curtain had suddenly dropped down from above.

The heavens stained with blood. The demon they witnessed seemed no different from the sky itself.

The two knights lost their fighting spirit because of their fear of this irresistible existence, and they did not dare to even think about helping Drachen.

However, Drachen rushed unwaveringly towards such a terrible monster. No, rather, he did not just rush in, but he even successfully tore apart that giant monster from time to time.

Even though the banshee recovered quickly, the mere sight of the dragon rider destroying the body of the sky-covering monster was truly majestic.

How did we ever think we could beat such a person?

Ugh.

There had been a short period of time when they thought they could win against such a monstrous figure. The griffin riders faces burned as they thought back and realized how absurd their delusions had been.

However, the Drachen from then was not the same person that he was now. Lafayette and Roland could tell that Drachen was incomparably more free-flowing with his powers now.

Incredible winds gathered at his lance in an instant, and the direction of his attacks was skillful and unpredictable.

Hell win, wont he?

He will. If Drachen cant stop it, then nobody can.

That said, the collective Knights of the Azure Sky might also be able to subdue that beast if they were backed by a large contingent of mages.

After all, who else in the world could stop that beast by himself?

Lafayette nodded as Roland spoke in a defeated voice.

At the very least, nobody acting out in the open could. I can assure you that.

Of course, the true monsters among monsters hidden in their royal castles might be able to demonstrate similar prowess. However, these were dignified individuals who were slow to act even at the behest of their monarchs, and they rarely moved about in the world.

In any case, given the scale of this disturbance, someone should be coming soon.

Lafayette mumbled uncomfortably as he watched the commotion of the battlefield.

They were now knights of Adenburg, but they had once called Griffindor home. There would be no less enviable situation than coming face to face with others they recognized.

I sure hope it ends before anyone shows up.

Should we join in? Dont you think we could speed up the battle a bit?

Lafayette gave an absurd look at Rolands question.

You want to join in that?

At that very moment, the winds generated by Drachen collided with the black energy emitted by the demon.

Boom!

Roland immediately shut his mouth upon hearing the terrible noise that made him unknowingly shrink back.

***

The seemingly unending battle was coming to an end.

The demonic creature was powerful, but it began to falter, unable to overcome Seon-Hyeoks storm-like momentum.

However, Seon-Hyeok had no intent
