There Are No Bad Transcendents in the World

The actions of the undead monsters that had been struck down several times by Daniel Prause’s magic gradually slowed down.

The Holy Knights saw the magic of the Grand Duke, which they would have trusted even if it were a thunderbolt from a god.

“It is literally not a human realm, but a transcendent realm.”

“Undead monsters are also stronger than usual, but the Grand Duke has magic and divine power so that he can fight with monsters.”

“How fortunate he is on our side, not the enemy.”

Daniel made the undead monsters incapacitated with his far-off magical energy, then concentrated his divine power as much as possible to attack the vital points.

Bang!

The sight of him defeating dozens of undead monsters one after another seemed like something out of a heroic novel.

“Finish…”

Moreover, his touch was so delicate as he wore half-gloves to use his magic.

Against the backdrop of the dark night, he was covered in sweat as he dealt with the monsters almost single-handedly.

‘I can understand why Princess Frey used the right of absolute obedience to take the Grand Duke.’

The knight, regardless of gender, stared at him blankly.

They could understand at once why the people of Prause were so loyal to the lord and why they didn’t move to other territories. Even the nearby villagers, who had begun to return to their homes after hearing that the situation was under control, stayed up all night to watch the Grand Duke in action.

Thanks to that, the Knights of Gelon and Tahar did not even have a chance to play an active role.

Of course, he used magic to help Daniel, but in the end, it was Daniel’s small amount of ‘divine power’ that ended the monster’s life.

‘It’s not a magical power.’

The warmth in Tahar’s eyes had long since disappeared.

It was clear that Duke Gelon, his mother, and Garnet, who were gathering on the spire and looking down at the temple, were feeling a similar sense of crisis.

The era of divine power that seemed to be coming to an end was beginning again.

“The Grand Duke seems to be handling things well, so we Shall be back.”

Tahar turned away without hiding his displeasure.

He couldn’t suffocate the undead monsters with his pure magic power, so he felt infinitely pitiful that he had even prepared an eye trick.

‘This was a good thing for the Grand Duke and Frey.’

Now, the era of divine power is over, and the time that he had been struggling to hold back raised his head again.

‘Divine power. I would have had a perfect life if I was born with that power.’

Tahar stared for a long time at the top floor of the Temple where Frey was and then went back.

The emperor left for the imperial palace after the restoration of the barrier had progressed to some extent.

To be precise, Frey called the doctor and the knights and forcibly brought his father in.

“High Priest. How is my father’s condition?”

“You must have heard what the Doctor said. They say he took a heavy hit when he summoned His divine power without realizing he was suffering internal injuries.”

The High Priestess’s voice grew quieter as he answered Frey.

“Then, we’ll leave the barrier to you two and focus on repairing the damage.”

“Thank you, High Priestess. And about hiding the Emperor’s health problems from me, we’ll talk later.”

“….”

The High Priestess, who had been stabbed, quietly lowered his eyes.

It was because he had previously made a deal with Frey, who said she would build sacred towers across the country to protect the people and create a safe zone.

[“If it’s His Majesty’s condition, I’ll take responsibility and check it out and let you know by letter.”]

‘I definitely promised that.’

‘However, what should I do when the emperor, who has been with me for a long time, does not want to drag his daughter into this problem?’

‘In the end, because of my decision, His Majesty almost suffered a lot.’

The doctor said that if Frey hadn’t come and assisted in the use of divine power, the Emperor’s life would have been in danger.

“You have to help me.”

The high Priest could only bow down and respond.

“I will and I beg your pardon.”

After the high priest left, only Daniel and Frey were left on the top floor.

Daniel, who had slaughtered undead monsters almost alone, and Frey, who had strengthened the divine power barrier for the first time in his life, was exhausted.

They leaned back against the pillar that served as the main pillar of the divine power circle and continued to pour in divine power.

“Frey. Do you have a favor to ask of the High Priestess?”

“I think we need to get some words out of the priests’ mouths to create the opposite of what Tahar wants.”

Frey knew Tahar’s plan. Instead of murdering the Emperor himself, he chose a more clever plan.

“The emperor’s divine power was useless, and the crown prince’s magical power was stronger. He must have thought of directing such a scene. We have to use it.”

“Use it?”

“In the end, Tahar was unable to use his magic power because he failed to stage the scene and people saw the scene where the undead monster broke the barrier.”

“It sounds like you’re going to open a public opinion so that people who saw the terrifying scene will realize the importance of divine power again.”

Frey smiled.

‘Also, this man was a good conversationalist.’

“yes. In order to do that, I thought it would be good if the Holy Knights or Priests who deal directly with undead monsters would spill their words.”

Of course, everything could only be done after completely restoring the barrier that protected the capital.

Daniel narrowed their eyes and examined the barrier.

“Just a while ago, the broken part of the barrier was clearly visible, but now it has been restored.”

“That’s because you poured in your divine power.”

“It’s my first time doing this, so it’s a bit difficult. It’s a different feeling from the Sacred Tower.”

He didn’t show it when the emperor was around, but maintaining and repairing the sacred power barrier required tremendous strength.

‘I know why my father didn’t call me when he heard the raid alert.’

If they did something wrong, the barrier would be completely broken, and the emperor and daughter would die.

‘But fortunately, Daniel came with me, so that misfortune did not happen.’

“Thanks for coming with me, Daniel.”

“Your welcome, Frey.”

Daniel smiled and added.

“I just wish I could have gotten Lydia’s location so I could figure out what was going on”

“If you do that, you will collapse. It sounds like you’re taking your anger out on the undead monsters.”

“Because I couldn’t decapitate Tahar, who touched my estate.”

Daniel was too exhausted to lie and pretend to be innocent.

Frey looked at him curiously, he was uncharacteristically sweaty. The slowly rising sun added an odd color to his face.

Hair tangled in strands and sticking to the forehead, and a high nose bridge that looked like it was drawn. A red tongue that moistened slightly dry lips from the battle.

It all strangely seemed sensual.

‘Maybe it’s because yesterday, he left several shirt buttons undone, saying he was frustrated.’

Frey remembered that Daniel had seduced her with a similar appearance when they were in a carriage yesterday, and his lips went dry for no reason now.

Daniel looked at the open scenery outside the window and said as if he had suddenly remembered.

“I prepared a mansion halfway up the mountain as a wedding anniversary present for you. Originally, we were going to watch the lighting ceremony together in your room.”

‘But I only prepared a brooch?’ 

The unexpected scale of this almost made Frey squeal.

“A mansion?”

“Remember the white mansion in the middle of the mountain you can see through your bedroom window?”

“Yes. I thought it was a temple because it seems to have been there before I came to Prause Castle…”

‘What is the story behind that mansion?’

Frey waited patiently for his answer.

“The mansion was prepared by my father as a gift to my mother.”

Daniel was silent for a moment, then continued.

“My mother died before the mansion was finished. As you know, my father couldn’t leave my mother alone.”

“…..”

When his human wife died, Duncan Prause took his own life and went to her side.

That was the biggest reason Daniel rejected love. He was afraid that, blinded by love, he would forsake all His duties and even give up his own life.

‘But now, Daniel seemed to understand why his father made that choice.’

“Is it okay if you give me that as a gift, Daniel?”

Daniel nodded. He came to the capital to not send Frey alone. Frey looked only at him and asked in a friendly voice.

He swung his sword and summoned his magic, even though his breath was running out of his lungs and his heart felt like it was going to explode. Even he knew it was nonsense to worry about Frey, whose divine power was greater than himself.

“Frey. No one can have that mansion but you.”

Daniel made eye contact with Frey and said.

Daniel didn’t mean to say it in such a messed up situation, but he couldn’t put it off any longer.

“You know. I love you.”
