NOVEL NEXT Chapter 84.2
“Well, it’s not that you need us to begin with. Whether we have some advantage or because our destinations are the same.”
This meant that they shouldn’t use their heads and follow them.
“By the way, we won’t consider your opinions. We have to deal with the Gold Pentagon.”
Upon hearing this, the reverse knights clicked their tongues, as if they had expected this.
“We should have recognized this little brat since the ruffians!”
“You heretics…!”
Isaac furrowed his brow.
“No, who’s this heretic?”
“You look like the Skeleton King!”
“Hey, wait. Are you trying to die?”
Knights had some expectations as he was the son of a Saintess, but as expected, all priests were the same.
Well, noble sons tended to become priests, while commoners became paladins. Priests couldn’t help treating paladins like meat shields.
“He’s already some Halark or whatever from Krasandia. And now he’s preventing even a knight like me from rescuing a comrade…”
They had asked to send some manpower if they wouldn’t allow them in, but they were refused, claiming they had no available hands even to rescue the paladins.
However, Isaac and Shuri grinned at that statement.
Halark?
Especially Shuri narrowed his eyes.
‘That name is the alias of my fourth uncle.’
This mission, given by the Papacy. Could it be that their fourth uncle was involved?
‘If it’s my fourth uncle, aiming for the family head position, wanting to eliminate me and Isaac, and even others…’
But he couldn’t delve too deep into his thoughts.
Thunk!
“Captain!”
One of the reverse knights with a black cloak drew his sword.
“Normally, it wouldn’t matter, but this time is different. We can’t enter Krasandia without you. So, we’ll take you, even if we have to cut off your legs.”
At the aura emanating from the sword, the Blue team recoiled. It was a specialized aura only paladins had.
‘The power of the 7th rank!’
At the same time, the Blue team had expected this, and they looked at Isaac.
“See! I told you they couldn’t follow us! You bastard!”
“This is a disaster before even starting the journey!”
“Isaac! They are all mixed-blood demons! We couldn’t have been together in the first place!”
The reverse knights gritted their teeth and drew their swords at their shout.
“Darn, they’re already mixed like watered-down liquor. Is there even demon blood in these guys?”
“Break their limbs one by one so they can’t escape! If we use them as bait, the demons will show up!”
At the same time, the captain emerged first. Compared to the other reverse knights, he had a considerably strong demon bloodline, and he sensed it right away.
Who among them was the most precious. And which little guy was the priest who would make the reverse knights go crazy!
Shuri also immediately figured out who the target was.
‘They’re planning to use Isaac as a hostage!’
“Isaac! Retreat… ugh?!”
The ground shook heavily.
Even the knights lost their balance and fell. At the same time, they could only be greatly surprised.
“M-Magic?”
Why would there be magic!
Isaac opened his eyes wide and raised the rattle.
“How dare you use magic now?!”
“Well, what? What’s this mockery… ugh!”
A golden rattle flew from somewhere and hit the captain’s face.
As if asking what this nonsense was, the captain tried to grab Isaac’s collar at that moment.
Rumble.
“…Ugh?”
The captain couldn’t even touch Isaac and froze. At the same time, Isaac placed his hand on the captain’s shoulder.
“When I speak nicely. Insert the sword.”
“…!”
The captain, with trembling pupils, swallowed his saliva and put the sword back.
Why is this happening?
At those words, his throat became dry as if it was on fire, and his body moved involuntarily.
As if praising a subordinate for a good job, Isaac patted him on the head.
“Well, when I speak nicely, you understand well.”
Everyone, including the reverse knights, was shocked at the scene.
However, the most surprised was none other than the captain.
‘I can’t resist.’
No, was he discouraged? Could this little guy do this?
He never had such an enemy before.
Whisper laughed coolly as he looked at their bewildered eyes.
[Daring to mock someone with demon blood!]
Isaac’s eyes narrowed as well.
Yes, whether they liked it or not, demons submitted to the strong. It was instinct. That’s why the demon blood mixed with the captain’s blood instinctively sensed the aura of the Skeleton King.
Well, since Isaac was human, it ended at this level. If he were a real demon, it wouldn’t have ended so easily.
‘Well, that’s why I chose these guys.’
Since they listened well, they could be used as bait. And with the power of the Demon King, he could excite the demon blood even more and use it more effectively.
“Anyway, since the captain put the sword in, you guys kneel too. Let’s go to the Gold Pentagon.”
The reverse knights were amazed at Isaac’s words. It wasn’t wrong, but what nonsense.
“…Is the Gold Pentagon so important? Why did you choose us in the first place? Just take people who listen well!”
“Right! Since they’re only going to take evidence that they’ve been to the scene of the incident…!”
Then Isaac burst into laughter.
“What are you talking about? We’re going to the Gold Pentagon.”
“Heh, right! So let’s bring back the stolen paladin’s relics…!”
“Retrieval. That means the mission is to bring back the kidnapped paladins.”
“…Huh?”
Unexpectedly, the reverse knights doubted their ears. However, as if it wasn’t the goal, Isaac said.
“Hunt down the demons from 14 years ago and rescue all those who were kidnapped.”
“…!”
“Whether your colleagues are involved or not, I don’t know.”
At his words, the leader of the reverse knights looked at Isaac with a very surprised expression.
“…Could it be that Isaac knew that our colleagues were kidnapped… and chose us?”
Huh? No. That’s not it.
But they looked at Isaac, speechless, with a look in their eyes as if he was a Saint. They all had an idea that they had been selected for that purpose.
“…Yes, that’s right. So you knew our circumstances so well!”
No. No, that’s not it?
“I’m sorry! To handle demons! We’ll gladly help you!”
“We’ll lend you our equipment, even if it means risking our lives!”
The attitude of the reverse knights suddenly changed. They were now completely friendly towards Isaac.
Yes, it was a good thing.
A good thing.
A good thing, but…
“Hey. When did our mission change to dealing with high-ranking demons…?”
“…Wasn’t it just about bringing back the items?”
The Blue team was causing an earthquake.
No, right now, the hunting demon from 14 years ago.
…Huh?
They didn’t hear such words?!!!
Damn this guy. This wasn’t agreed upon?!
