I Married the Dragon I Killed

Inside, where they could not even distinguish one another, a secret meeting was taking place.

“It seems that humans and dragons are already starting to grow suspicious.”

In a dark meeting room.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“From Escolea’s side.”

“Suspicious?”

“Who is making that kind of assumption?”

“Could it be because of that proposal linking the increase of monsters on the continent with the reappearance of demons?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Escolea? atomic Isn’t that the beacon of knowledge, the gathering of the continent’s greatest minds?”

“In fact, it didn’t receive much support either. shadow Even if they are related, they can’t convince the nobles.”

“Being a place full of intellectuals, there are also many eccentrics. voyage The higher-ups of the continent won’t believe it easily.”

Some showed concern, but others took it lightly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s why the white dragon Blancaros personally decided to postpone it.”

“And how did it end?”

“Even so, the fact that someone has connected the two is concerning.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone lowered their heads, letting out heavy sighs.

“Then we’ve gained time.”

“Even if humans don’t, the dragons must already be investigating. athlete If they discover us, we will be eliminated before a war even begins.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

The more they had invested, the greater the frustration.

“No.”

“What should we do? autumn I think it would be better to cover it up right now…”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

He was the leader.

He dominated the atmosphere instantly.

A man who had remained silent for a long time spoke.

“Why?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“If we react to that, they will realize there are still internal enemies within the Grand Council.”

“That’s exactly what the white dragon wants.”

“What do you mean he wants it?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“We will continue with the plan. shadow It’s the best course. aspect If it appears that everything erupts naturally after years, that will be enough.”

“D-do you think that will work?”

“Then what do you plan to do?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

It was an insulting statement.

They only exchanged glances.

But no one complained.

“The only variables I have are your mouths.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“If that is your decision…”

“No need to think too much.”

“Anything else out of the ordinary?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone reacted.

There was one human who stood out clearly in his memory.

“There is a man named Perda Valdrova.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“What is there to say about that idiot who walked straight into a dragon’s jaws?”

“That’s what I thought too. avalanche But seeing him in person is different.”

“The young fiancé of Valdrova?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

The middle-aged man was not only a demonic follower, but also a noble.

“Alert level?”

“At the level of a walking fortress, similar to Alberto.”

“I think we should keep an eye on him.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s exaggerated.”

“Afraid of a child? voyage You’ve aged poorly.”

“That’s precisely why he is dangerous.”

“Alberto, that damn killer, took five years to become a threat. canvas And this is just a brat…”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

They looked at each other with contempt.

The noble’s face stiffened.

No one truly understood the other.

At that moment, a masked man entered and whispered something to a noble.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

The “cover-up” was the name of the operation.

“The Escolea cover-up has failed.”

News of failure.

“The messenger has just brought bad news.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Those who had been mocking fell silent.

They used Doppler to infiltrate noble positions.

“And the one who stopped it was Perda Valdrova.”

Some had already been infiltrated.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Has the existence of the Doppler been discovered?”

Everyone turned toward the leader.

The leader formed a bitter smile.

Even he was irritated.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Knowing that demons capable of replacing humans exist is no small matter.

A question devoid of calm.

It is like discovering explosives planted everywhere.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm…”

“It will probably be discovered.”

The leader responded with absolute coldness.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

“Who was responsible for the Escolea cover-up?”

He tapped his face with his fingers.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“I asked who.”

“I-it was—”

A man raised his hand.

Before he could finish, his head was cut off.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

The body fell to the ground.

Silence and fear filled the room.

“Messenger.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

The leader tossed something to him.

The man stepped forward.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“From today, you are Viscount Battlehorn.”

The messenger injected the contents into his neck.

A syringe with black liquid.

“Thank you for the blessing.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

A new one took his place.

In an instant, his body turned black like a mannequin.

He absorbed the blood of the corpse.

The former Battlehorn died.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Anyone could be replaced.

“End the research on the Doppler. abandon This is no longer the time to study calmly.”

Those present swallowed nervously.

It was a warning.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

The method was simple.

“Understood.”

“Destroy all remaining materials and eliminate anyone involved.”

“Yes.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Their facility was beneath a mountain.

***

It was enough to collapse it.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Ruri asked.

“I have unfinished business.”

“The Grand Council is over. artist Don’t you plan to return?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“And yet you won’t go?”

“Lady Valdrova will be waiting.”

“I know. amber I don’t like making her wait.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

A thread that could eliminate what made Valdrova suffer.

“It’s important.”

More important than any monster outbreak.

Ruri knew.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“The place is within Silverwind’s territory.”

She knew where he was heading.

That’s why she asked.

Perda nodded.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“I know that too.”

“Demons are a common enemy. arrow But the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. acquire If you enter that territory, your hands will be stained with blood.”

“Goz harbors hatred toward you, Perda-nim.”

“I know.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s why this will be done in secret.”

But that doesn’t mean they will welcome Perda.

Perda also despises the demons who make Valdrova suffer.

Silverwind hates demons.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Ruri’s lips trembled.

“It’s dangerous, but if it goes well, there will be no consequences.”

“……”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Don’t go.

“……Are you going?”

She wanted to say it, but the words wouldn’t come out.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“No. avalanche You must return.”

“I understand. silence Then I will wait.”

“I have to.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

She didn’t like it. legend She wanted to refuse.

Ruri bit her lip hard.

“While I’m gone, your duty is to protect your lady.”

“……”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

She had no right to go against his will.

“Please come back alive.”

But she couldn’t.

Ruri withdrew.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda began making calculations while preparing the secret expedition.

One day.

‘If we focus on mobility and reduce supplies to the minimum, even by forcing a medium-scale teleportation circle a bit, it will take a day.’

Fast to attack a country.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Slow for a simple research facility.

Moreover, the enemy would not stay still.

They would prepare quickly.

The failure of the kidnapping of the rector of Escolea would have already reached their ears.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

But that was Silverwind’s territory.

‘It would be ideal if someone like Ruri could carry us flying.’

Perda already knew what had happened when Ruri faced them.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

He didn’t want to involve her.

‘This must be resolved among us.’

The next important thing was strength.

And he shouldn’t.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

It would be ideal to know what kind of magic he used.

‘The head of the laboratory was a 5-circle mage?’

The researchers were only low-level assistants.

The head was the real danger.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda reviewed his options.

Of course, it couldn’t be a frontal battle.

‘I’ll have to handle it myself.’

But not even torture could extract nonexistent information.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

The less light there is, the stronger it becomes.

It normally takes the form of a Shadow Hand, but it can adopt shapes like tentacles or flat surfaces.

‘The shadow I can manipulate without needing to cast.’

With intense light, it weakens until it crumbles.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Designed for stealth and strategy.

‘According to Shape of Shadow, this is part of my body.’

It is Barbatos’s magic.

‘It wasn’t created for direct combat.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

It was possible.

‘Then I can also use magic through it.’

The shadow is recognized as part of his body.

But it required great magical control.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda concentrated mana into a Shadow Hand.

Not just imitating an arm.

But reproducing circuits and mana channels.

Mana flowed from his feet, traveled through the shadow, and gathered in the hand.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

He followed the process of constructing a magic circle.

He managed to draw a white magic circle.

From the black hand, blue particles emerged.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Now he could launch surprise attacks from anywhere.

‘Four times slower than average.’

But he frowned.

An experienced mage could react.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

More than prediction, improvisation was important.

And that was what he did best.

It was risky.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Then—

It was better to rest than to worry about what couldn’t be controlled.

He tried to sleep.

So he lay down.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

He had never felt that in the castle.

His instinct detected something strange.

‘Hmm…’

Just as he closed his eyes, his mind activated.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course.

But a noble mansion—

Valdrova’s castle was protected by multiple magical barriers.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Much more vulnerable.

He felt the fluctuation of mana.

Was different.

‘Who’s coming?’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

And then—

A sensual voice.

A smell of sulfur.

“Hi, darling.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Get out.”

“How cold. aluminum Is that how you treat me?”

Her serpentine tongue ran across her lips as she approached.

The demon of lust, Sitri.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then stop wasting time.”

“Neither do I with you. apple I hate your type. aluminum Hard to control.”

“I have no intention of making a contract with you, Sitri.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Someone. abandon You.”

Perda’s expression hardened.

“Who would do business with a demon?”

“Relax. arcade I came for business.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

She pointed at him.

“The facility you plan to attack will be destroyed in less than six hours.”

Perda raised his hands to cover his ears.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

It was important information.

He stopped.

“Don’t make that face. shadow I’m an archdemon.”

Sitri smiled.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

It was something Perda had already suspected.

“How do you know?”

“The ones I manage are usually high-ranking nobles. alert Some even work with demons.”

The kidnapping confirmed it.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“If I move fast—”

“The kidnapping failed. matrix The replacement was captured. album If he talks, the place will be exposed.”

“So they’ll destroy it.”

“Exactly. acid Even if you leave now, you’ll be late. athlete It would take you one or two days.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

From the moment Perda set foot in Silverwind’s territory on his own when he was in the White House, to them, he was already an enemy.

They couldn’t just stand by.

“Using that little spawn? palette Maybe. palette But do you think Silverwind will allow it?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

If they had a pretext, they wouldn’t hesitate.

Sitri fully understood the situation.

Complicated.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

That’s why she had come to propose a deal.

Sitri pressed him.

“From that face you’re making, I feel like now we’re finally going to reach an agreement. action Am I right?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“What can you offer me?”

Perda’s blue eyes moved calmly, revealing nothing.

As if she had been waiting for that question, Sitri slipped her hand into her cleavage.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

She pulled out a thick rolled parchment.

“Oh, what an intelligent man. zenith Exactly. anchor You know how valuable it is, right?”

“It connects two spaces within a dimension. acid It’s a teleportation type.”

“It’s a scroll with Binding Bridge magic inscribed. wizard Do you know what it does?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is that all?”

It could move with such stealth that most detection magic becomes useless, and by connecting spaces, it has continuity.

It fit perfectly with his situation, which required stealth infiltration.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Too good.

Moving long distances at once and also buying time.

“If you need more, my subordinates can entertain those useless Silverwind fools. album I’ll give you enough time to wipe out the place and loot all the information from the lab.”

Sitri’s conditions were too good.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Demons always make contracts to their own advantage.

The opponent was a demon.

That’s why, instead of accepting immediately, Perda thought.

A deal this favorable implied an equivalent price.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“What do you want in return?”

“Yes. atomic She was supposed to seduce a man, but ended up completely falling in love with him.”

“A foolish demon?”

“Inside that facility there’s a foolish demon.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“If she dies there, she won’t even be able to return to hell. arctic She’ll be completely annihilated and disappear into the void. zenith So bring her out and kill her outside. afford So she can be summoned back to hell.”

Sitri sighed.

“That’s why I said she’s an idiot.”

“Is that possible?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“What an affectionate proposal.”

Sitri was the demon of lust.

“Not even a dog would believe that.”

“What did you expect? silence Even among demons, we take care of each other. amateur There’s something called affection.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“She’s already an adult, she should be independent, but what can I do? airport Her mother has to save her. artist Even if my skirt is too thin and short.”

The furthest thing from affection.

“I see.”

“Fine, I’ll tell you the truth. ability She’s one of my daughters.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Everyone wins. alien Isn’t it a great deal?”

“Your proposal means I rescue her while you help us.”

Sitri swayed her skirt provocatively.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda thought again.

Do not make deals with demons.

“Can you swear on your name that this isn’t a trap?”

Only one phrase crossed his mind.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“I swear in the name of the archdemon Sitri. orbit I have no intention of setting a trap. altitude If you rescue that girl, your mission ends there.”

Perda nodded.

Sitri answered firmly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Sitri left the scroll floating in the air next to the bed.

“Easier than I thought. arcade Perfect.”

“Fine. apron Let’s make that deal.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“You have two hours from now. accent You can send in eight people at once, and bring out eight people. alien Don’t forget.”

Perda’s door burst open.

The moment her figure completely disappeared—

After saying that, Sitri vanished into the darkness.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Count Consilus and several armed knights rushed in.

“I’m fine.”

“My lord regent! admire Are you alright?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“No need. apron It’s already gone.”

“We detected a demon intrusion. abandon Allow us to search—”

“Did the demon tell you anything—?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“What? attic What do you mean…?”

Perda had no time for explanations.

“And the expedition is canceled.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 60: Deal with the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“We begin the operation in one hour. arch Gather the elite troops.”

He only gave orders.
