Chapter 244 : Knights Commander of San Fulgen

After successfully killing Marquess Marcelo, who had transformed into a demon, Miss Karina rushed to find Duke Remy, who had been knocked down by Marquess Marcelo's attack. She continued to follow the destroyed wall where Duke Remy had been knocked down. After a while, she saw Duke Remy leaning against the nearly destroyed wall. It turned out that Duke Remy had been thrown quite a distance after being hit by Marquess Marcelo's attack. The attack sent Duke Remy flying, destroying four walls and nearly destroying the one he was leaning against.

After finding Duke Remy, Miss Karina immediately rushed to Duke Remy. She was shocked to see Duke Remy's condition up close. Duke Remy was unconscious, bleeding profusely from his mouth. Furthermore, his stomach was also injured, bleeding profusely from Marquess Marcelo's attack.

"Lord Remy!" said Miss Karina.

Miss Karina then shook Duke Remy's body to determine whether he was still alive or dead. A few moments later, after Miss Karina's shaking, Duke Remy responded. However, Duke Remy was still unconscious, meaning he was only unconscious. After realizing he was only unconscious, Miss Karina examined Duke Remy's entire body to determine if he had sustained any other injuries. After examining him, there were no other injuries on his body other than his stomach and the bleeding from his mouth. Then, Miss Karina appeared to be trying to do something to Duke Remy.

~Plant Magic: Healing Tree Trunk~

Suddenly, a large tree trunk emerged from beneath Duke Remy's body. The trunk then covered Duke Remy's entire body. Meanwhile, Miss Karina continued to observe the tree trunk covering Duke Remy's entire body.

"Hold on, Lord Remy. I will heal you," said Miss Karina.

In the courthouse parking lot.

Caroline was currently in the courthouse parking lot, located on the left side of the courthouse gate. The courthouse parking lot was currently being used as a shelter from the demon attacks. Caroline was currently with Duke Louis, Vice Commander Sara, and also a female knights named Mina.

Not only they were in the area, several people who were previously in the courtroom were also taking shelter there. The people who had previously gathered in front of the courthouse also took shelter there. They were previously very surprised when they saw the demons coming out of the courthouse to chase the people who were previously inside the building. Therefore, they also took shelter in the area to avoid being targeted by the demons. The area was currently being guarded by many royal knights and several knights of the Dukes who were previously tasked with escorting the Dukes to the courthouse.

Not only the knights, Judge Roswald was also guarding the area because currently Judge Roswald was in front of the knights guarding the area. He looked like the leader of the knights guarding the area.

"Um, Lord Louis, it would be better for you to fight the demons with Commander Asier and Commander Oliver. After all, there are already many knights guarding this area, and I can take care of myself," said Caroline.

"No, Princess Caroline. Even though there are already many knights guarding this area, I will still guard you. Because something bad might happen if I leave you. If that happens, I will continue to blame myself for not being able to protect Her Majesty's daughter. Also, I know that Princess Caroline is strong and can take care of herself, but this time we are facing demons. They are not opponents we can easily defeat. Therefore, I will remain by your side until the situation is safe," said Duke Louis.

"Very well then, Lord Louis," said Caroline.

"Thank goodness you understand, Princess Caroline. Besides, I don't need to intervene to help Asier and Commander Oliver. I'm sure they can defeat the demons easily. After all, they are both Knights Commander of the San Fulgen," said Duke Louis.

"Yes, you're right, Lord Louis," said Caroline.

After speaking with Caroline, Duke Louis turned to Mina.

"By the way, Mina, you'd better go out and join your knights who are guarding the area outside and help them. Your knights will desperately need your strength if they fight the demons who might escape the courthouse," said Duke Louis.

"But I'm also here to fulfill my duty, to protect you, Lord Duke. As the commander of Duke San Lucia's knights, it's my duty to protect you," said Mina.

It turned out that Mina was a commander of Duke Louis' knights.

"I'll be fine, Mina. Besides, there are already many knights guarding this area, and I can fight on my own. You'd better go immediately and help your knights. This is the task I've given you. As the commander of Duke San Lucia's knights, of course you must carry out my duties," said Duke Louis.

Commander Mina fell silent for a moment, then immediately responded to Duke Louis's words.

"Very well, Lord Duke, I will carry out your assignment. I will follow and assist my knights," said Commander Mina.

"It's good that you understand," said Duke Louis.

"Then I'll take my leave, Lord Duke," said Commander Mina.

"Yes," said Duke Louis.

Then Commander Mina left the courthouse courtyard to join her knights who were standing guard outside.

"So Sara, what about the 'Frost Wolf' knights? Are they also standing guard outside to prevent any demons from escaping the courthouse?" asked Duke Louis.

"I only brought a few knights with me when I came here, Lord Duke. And those knights are currently guarding this area, they are not standing guard outside like your knights, Lord Duke," said Vice Commander Sara.

"I see. I thought the Frost Wolf knights were also outside, just like my knights. If the Frost Wolf knights were outside, perhaps I would have ordered you to follow and assist your knights. Well, although I can't actually order you because I'm not your commander," said Duke Louis.

"Even though you're not my commander, you're still a Duke whom I must serve. If you really want to give orders, then I will carry them out, Lord Duke," said Vice Commander Sara.

"I see. Then I order you to remain in this area to monitor your knights and ensure they are not harmed," said Duke Louis.

"Yes, Lord Duke," said Vice Commander Sara.

Meanwhile, in front of the courthouse.

Commander Oliver and Commander Asier were currently fighting the demons attacking them.

~Ice Magic : Ice Pillars~

Commander Asier pointed his right hand upwards. Two large pillars of ice emerged from the ground and pierced the two demons that were attempting to attack him. The two demons were struck squarely in the stomach by the ice pillars, sending them soaring upward. The ice pillars pierced their bodies, leaving holes in them. While their bodies were still stuck in the ice pillars, Commander Asier suddenly clenched his right fist. Numerous small spikes emerged from the ice pillars that pierced their bodies, leaving them riddled with holes. The two demons were killed, their bodies pierced by numerous thorns, and their bodies were left hanging from the large ice pillar.

Meanwhile, Commander Oliver was currently fighting three demons attempting to attack him. The three demons were not within close proximity to each other. Commander Oliver then prepared to attack the three demons.

~Lightning Sword Art: Lightning Speed ​​Slash~

Commander Oliver swiftly dashed toward one of the three demons and attacked it. Afterward, Commander Oliver darted toward the second and third demons. Commander Oliver swiftly attacked all three demons. Commander Oliver managed to sever all three demon heads in just three seconds. The three demons immediately fell to the ground, their heads separated from their bodies.

After Commander Oliver launched his attack, a demon suddenly darted swiftly and attempted to attack Commander Oliver. However, Commander Asier noticed this and immediately dashed toward the demon to stop it from attacking Commander Oliver.

~Ice Magic: Freezing Steam~

Commander Asier released a stream of ice vapor from his mouth and aimed it at the demon. The ice vapor slowly froze the demon's body. Once the demon's body was completely frozen, Commander Asier immediately attacked it with his sword.

~Glacier Strike~

Commander Asier's attack instantly shattered the frozen demon's body, shattering it into countless pieces. Commander Oliver immediately turned back and saw Commander Asier, who had just destroyed the demon's body.

"Thank you for protecting me, Asier," said Commander Oliver.

"No need for thanks, Commander. I'm sure you could have easily defeated that demon even if I hadn't protected you," said Commander Asier.

Commander Asier then noticed several fallen demons, their bodies mutilated, scattered around Commander Oliver.

"You've killed so many demons. You're still as impressive as ever, Commander," said Commander Asier.

"This is nothing, Asier. Anyone else could kill this many demons if they knew how. I've never fought demons before, as they only appear on the southern continent or in the border regions between the northern and southern continents. But I still know how to kill demons: by channeling enough Mana into a weapon or magic when attacking the demon to penetrate their strong inner skin. You seem to know how to defeat demons, Asier, as I see you've already killed several of them," said Commander Oliver.

"Yes, that's right, Commander. But even so, there are some demons that seem to have very strong inner skin, different from the demons we just killed," said Commander Asier.

"Yes, you're right. Especially that demon," said Commander Oliver, looking at the figure of the demon not far from him.

The demon Commander Oliver saw was Duke James. Duke James's body was covered in numerous wounds. However, the wounds that covered Duke James's body were only scratches; there were no fatal wounds on his body.

"That demon is truly troublesome," said Commander Oliver.

Then, Commander Asier began to look around.

"Even though we've killed quite a few demons, it seems we can't relax yet," Commander Asier said, looking around.

Then Commander Oliver also looked around.

"You're right, there are still many demons we need to deal with," Commander Oliver said.

Currently, Commander Asier and Commander Oliver were surrounded by around a dozen demons from the people who had become demons in the courtroom. Duke James was one of the demons surrounding Commander Oliver and Commander Asier. Furthermore, Commander Luka, who had transformed into a demon, also joined the siege.

"Our decision to leave the courthouse and fight here was correct, Commander. If we had remained inside the courthouse and been surrounded by so many demons, we would have been in great trouble," Commander Asier said.

"You're right, Asier. And we're also lucky that so many demons came to attack us. If these demons focused solely on attacking us, at least everyone else would be safe," Commander Oliver said.

"You're right, Commander. After all, it's our duty to keep others safe, even if we have to face so many demons like this," said Commander Asier.

Then the demons surrounding the two of them appeared to be preparing to attack them.

"It looks like they're preparing to attack us. Then we must prepare too. Let's finish them all off, Asier," said Commander Oliver.

"Yes, Commander," said Commander Asier.

Meanwhile, in a damaged building some distance from the front of the courtroom.

I struggled to free myself from the rubble that had fallen on me. After I managed to free myself, I noticed my arms were badly injured from sustaining a kick from Duke James, who had transformed into a demon.

"I didn't expect that kick to injure my arms this badly. Not only that, it also sent me flying so far away to this place. It seems the demons in the courthouse are different from the demon subjects who attacked me in the Hevea Forest," I said, looking at the shattered wall I'd hit.

I saw many destroyed walls, and at the end of them, I could see the courthouse. It turned out to be quite a distance from here to the courthouse. Among the many destroyed walls, I saw several people lying down. It seemed they were lying there after being hit by my body when I was thrown all the way here. After seeing the destroyed walls, I immediately healed my badly injured arm.

~Full Healing~

Not long after, my badly injured arm was healed. After that, I immediately stood back up.

"I can't stay here any longer. I have to return to the courthouse to help them fight those demons," I said.
