Luger couldn’t even open his mouth.

As Lee Jiwon put it, ‘he is not able to say anything’.

“I will warn you, Luger. I learned this skill. On the spot. To use. against you.”

Kiiiiing-

“W-w-w-wait! Wait, Alexander-ssi!”

Leeha walked in front of Luger, who had not yet come to his senses. Leeha was sure what would happen if the skill was used on Luger.

‘Luger would be 1000% dead!’

Originally, he thought that one of them might be in danger of dying.

However, Leeha thought that they both accepted this petty(?) pride fight because they had their countermeasures.

However, after comparing Alexander and Luger’s expressions, Leeha couldn’t stay still.

“What are you doing?”

“Can we stop now? I’m not really siding with Luger-”

“It is Luger who wanted to fight.”

“Right. I know. I know. But……. The result has already been decided. Please, as the leader of the Demon King’s army subjugation team. Please stop here.”

Luger was also strong. So Leeha couldn’t let him die here.

Leeha took out the key he had received from the pope and showed it to Alexander, and Alexander nodded.

“Luger.”

Luger was still speechless. He had come to his senses, but he knew full well that no matter what he said now, it would not work.

Looking over Leeha’s shoulder at Luger, Alexander opened his mouth.

“I just wanted to share my partner’s frustrations. I hate trivial emotional quarrels but…. I will deal with you whenever you want. It is the same -”

Alexander turned to look at one of the spectators.

“-with Lee Jiwon. I won’t avoid you.”

“……This chuunibyo is showing off.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing?! Did I say anything?” 

Lee Jiwon only smirked and couldn’t answer Alexander directly.

It was the first time he saw Alexander’s ‘true abilities’ without Bailephus’ help.

“I am the one who executes justice and the one who defends the good. I am willing to show my strength anytime.”

“Excellent, Alexander.”

“Thank you. Partner.”

Seeing the dignity of 1st ranker, the gold dragon clapped lightly.

“Excuse me- I guess we need to move now that it’s over! Our distance from them has increased a bit!”

“Ah! Yes! Now, everyone, prepare to move again! In order to become as strong as Alexander-ssi, we need to kill the Demon King’s army!”

Leeha encouraged the subjugation team as he clapped.

“Luger you-”

“I get it. I will follow.”

Luger’s dejected appearance brought a little excitement and worry at the same time to Leeha.

Kidd sneaked up behind the two of them.

“If it were my [Rapid fire], I would have touched his body before he could even use his splitting skill, such a pity.”

“……Shut up, Kidd.”

Luger could only answer as such, even after hearing Kidd’s cute(?) provocation.

‘Hmm, should I say this is good? He feels like he is floating just now…’

Leeha looked at the subjugation team members.

The one-on-one confrontation between the two was not meaningless at all.

They are now moving as a team, but in Middle Earth, everyone is like an enemy.

As they confirmed Alexander’s absolute skill, Leeha could see that a kind of fire had been kindled in the hearts of all the users present.

‘If it was my attack…… would it work?’

Of course, it was the same case with Leeha.

How big was the gap between him and Alexander, the number one in the ranking?

‘Someday. However, this is not the time.’ Leeha walked toward Fernand and patted the shoulders of the members of the subjugation team once.

“Let’s go!”

Putting weight on Alexader’s advice ‘to be cautious’, the reason he and Luger fought in the first place 

the subjugation team sped up again. After a while, the distance between Faust and the subjugation team shrank to 1km.

*** 

‘Can you see it?’

‘Shh.’

The other members lowered their bodies and only Leeha and Fernand observed the Demon King’s army’s movement.

‘Mana Clairvoyance. Eagle’s Eye, maximum magnification.’

Shhhhing- Leeha’s eyes instantly caught their silhouettes. The irregular internal mana movement must be the chimera.

A large number of humans and one giant around them, a tall human sitting across them, and even the figure of the Lizardia standing in the middle of them.

‘But I think aren’t there more than the traces I found?’

‘It seems the noble demons joined them. I thought they would meet after crossing Fibiel, but the noble demons appear to have moved faster than I expected.’

Most importantly, Leeha noticed another gigantic lump of mana.

He could clearly see where the huge mass of mana was coming from.

‘Crowley’s golem or Faust’s undead hadn’t appeared yet, but there are already so many demon nobles……’

Leeha looked around meticulously and bit his lip tightly.

The number of demon nobles increased every moment, but Leeha did not see the mana of the most important person.

‘Fernand-ssi still hasn’t found the trace of Bluebeard, right?’

‘Yes.’

It was the smae with Fernand. After scouting for a long time in a prone position and counting the number of demon nobles to some extent, the two returned to the subjugation team.

“If we go on like this, we will meet them in 10 minutes. I think this is the time to decide on how we move, so what should we do? The demon nobles are already grouped up with the Demon King’s army. There are about 30 so far. They are scattered all over Fibiel, so it is not their final count. And will increase as time passes.”

Leeha asked the members of the subjugation teams whose eyes were shining black.

The ‘direction’ to be decided was, of course, the problem that Alexander and Luger had an altercation with.

“We need to be careful. We have to follow them for a few days and make sure that Bluebeard is not present.”

“A vote for cautiousness…… what about the others? What do you think, Lee Jiwon-ssi, Ram Hwajeong-ssi, and Kidd-ssi?”

Leeha deliberately left Luger out and asked the others. He didn’t have to touch 

his already scarred pride.

“There are times you need to be quick-witted – that could certainly be true. I don’t know because I haven’t fought, but if Alexander says so, I think it’s clear that Bluebeard could appear at any moment.”

Lee Jiwon readily agreed.

Ram Hwajeong only listened and then nodded.

Bluebeard, the monster that Alexander, who just proved himself to be the strongest user in Middle Earth, was wary of.

It was only natural for other rankers who did not know Bluebeard to follow Alexander.

‘Definitely at this point……. the number of demon nobles will increase as time goes on. Monsters that are so powerful that it took the elites of Byeolcho to stop dozens of them. There are 30 of them currently, but if it increases to 50 or 100, our team will be insufficient.’

Could it be called bad luck, or good luck?

The demon nobles were quite powerful, but they were still monsters.

Compared to users whose hair was hard to find if they decide to hide, monsters have limited intelligence.

‘In other words, if it’s confirmed that Bluebeard is not present. It would be better to kill Faust and sweep away the remnants of the demon nobles and Bluebeard before all the demon nobles grouped. If Bluebeard didn’t show up, that would be great.’

It was Bluebeard who caught Leeha’s thoughts to the end.

Since they could only be certain of a few pieces of information, it was only natural for Leeha to be cautious.

“I understand. Then, according to your opinion, we will follow them until Bluebeard’s presence is confirmed-”

Hwaaaaa—-!

“Uh?!”

It was then that a turquoise light began to shine in the middle of the subjugation team members.

Irira.

“Hmm?”

“Hmm? Teleport, and with this aura-”

When the users covered their eyes because of the light, Bailephus nodded.

Dragons recognize other dragons. “Blaugrun.”

[Kyuuu, kyukyukyu.]

The bronze dragon hatchling greeted Bailephus as soon as he appeared in front of Leeha.

“You came as well.”

With Bahamut spreading the news, all metal dragons already knew that Leeha revived Blaugrun.

The dragon who was the most overjoyed upon hearing this was Bailephus, and it was the reason why he looked at Leeha with favorability even more.

[Kyu. Kyu, kyukyu!]

Blaugrun said(?) something to Bailephus and looked at Leeha.

“Blaugrun-ssi, it’s dangerous, so please wait at your lair-”

[Kyuu! Kyu, kyukyukyu!]

“-what’s the matter again?”

Blaugrun sat on Leeha’s shoulder

. He patted Leeha’s cheeks repeatedly with his wings, he pointed his small wings somewhere.

“What’s over there?”

[Kyu! Kyukyukyu!]

“Huh?”

[Kyuu! Kyuk!]

“E-Excuse me, Bailephus-nim, perhaps you can interpret-” As Leeha took his eyes off the annoying Blaugrun and looked at Bailephus, an idea crossed his head.

“-……no, wait. No way?”

Leeha caught the dragon on his shoulder and 

brought it to his face.

“Are you talking about that now?”

[Kyuuuung!]

Blaugrun nodded. Ram Hwajeong looked at Leeha with her eyes wide open.

“What’s the matter? Oppa?”

“……Prepare for battle. Everyone, prepare for battle. Bailephus-nim! Can you immediately block space, communication, and movement?”

“Huh?”

“Bluebeard is not here! He is not hiding nearby and he won’t ambush us. This is our chance!”

Leeha quickly shouted as he picked up his Black Bass that he had tied behind his back while crawling.

Blaugrun had already proved once in Marching Plains when he went to meet Minis’ delegations.

That incomprehensible detection ability shone now.

“Everyone move as soon as you are ready! Each enemy is-”

Grrrr- Kyahi—— Cha——

Uuuurk- Grrrk, Garyu

Faust was able to put his mind at ease as he watched the demon nobles gradually gather.

‘If we have this much…… going for the gold dragon is worth a try. I have already confirmed how much the undead dragon can deal with that damned gold dragon. The problem is Alexander.’

However, he was worried about Alexander’s immeasurable power.

Even the chimeras and Faust’s undead couldn’t stop it.

Even if he distributed 30-some nobles and the dragon and concentrated on the rest, would he be able to block his ‘charge’?

“Uwaaah! What is this?! If there was a monster like this, you should have called me first! The ogres have wings? How did you synthesize this? Is it a chimera? No, chimeras are artificially synthesized, so there’s no way it would come out neatly like this! Mutation? Simple mutation? If you graft an ogre and harpy, will it come out like this? How did you make this-”

“……I’m thinking about something important, so don’t distract me.”

Faust sighed, but Crowley wouldn’t keep his mouth shut.

“Good! Huhihihit! Good! Because of my achievement as an agent of the Demon King’s army, I can’t even use the city’s warp gate, and I can’t even use the crystal ball or teleport scroll because I am afraid of other people’s eyes. It was really annoying, but seeing those gives me strength! Kyahahahat, aren’t the others coming? Those warlocks who were originally your subordinates.”

He was also one of the famous outsiders.

He had the ability to stealthily turn and stab the target.

Faust, who had told Crowley to shut up, had no choice but to shut up.

It was because he did not disclose the fact that a user who had become a soldier of the Demon King’s army, becomes human again when they die, even receiving a huge penalty, and that Faust’s own power was not enough to bring that user back to the Demon King’s army.

“Kyahahaha. They will not come. No, they cannot be contacted. Isn’t that right, snakehead?”

Igor opened his mouth sarcastically. There was a way to know even if Faust did not speak.

In the case of Igor, a member of Czar who had been killed by Leeha had already informed him of the fact from the outside.

In other words, even if the 3rd in the rankine, the Berserker, spoke harshly and behaved rudely, Faust, the ‘leader’ of the Demon King’s army, can’t say anything.

‘Fucking……. Even that ignorant bear knows. But I can’t kick him out, or say anything…’

If I did, they would be completely out of here.

Now that a lot of chimeras have died, what if Igor and Czar, who currently occupy a large part of the current Demon King’s army, went missing?

Igor: Inject more power of the Demon King into me and the Czar members.

Leeha: What?
