The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 132 - The Curse of the Drigory Family

Everyone was amazed at what happened, the appearance of the burly man with the great sword on his back made them all speechless, what's more after the man slammed an Oger-type monster into the ground with just one hand.

That person could even reconstruct the corpse of a child who had been crushed by Oger with his magic. Although the body reconstruction magic cannot restore the life of a dead child.

But at least the residents thought that the man was part of the magic knight of Lockdown city and made them even more adore and praise the magic chancellor, their true protector. Cheers were heard again, even the woman who lost her child also cheered while holding the body of her child who was no longer alive, she cheered while crying.

Richard who was also around the crowd was stunned, not because he was astonished by what happened. He was stunned because he knew the man who had defeated the Oger, not the magic knight but that person was Darkam Pege, the holy knight with the Title of Tenebris.

"Huhja..." He looked at Pege's face.

While Pege who walked towards Richard without caring cheers kept his head down, to the point when their gaze met. Pege stares at Richard, and Richard doesn't take his eyes off and they look at each other.

Pege walked past Richard, getting closer and closer until Pege finally passed without saying a word to Richard. The silent Richard also said nothing to Pege. As their meeting went by, Richard turned to look at Pege's back. "It seems like not only me is growing, but they are also!." Her speech.

As for Pege, he passed by and disappeared in the crowd.

Richard further emphasized his intention to immediately leave this world, what else after he found out if the holy knight was getting stronger after seeing what Pege did to the 3-meter-high Oger monster. "If they're this strong, then there's nothing I need to worry about." Her speech.

"Young man, what are you talking about?" Ask the old man who was nearby.

"Ah.. No, not papa. I think that guy's very strong." Richard smiled awkwardly.

"of course.. That person must be a magic knight." Reply to Grandpa.

"Huh.. He's a holy knight." said Richard inwardly.

Richard instantly realized one thing. "If Pege is in this place then they're all here too." He said, still in his mind.

Richard was immediately carried away by the feeling of thinking about it, because it was certainly because of the hatred in his chest to the colleagues who left him in the labyrinth.

Richard did not react much when he saw Pege, it was because Pege was a quiet man who never considered Richard weak as his other friends. But once he was aware of the existence of the other holy knights, he was agitated and immediately wanted to leave this place.

He still harbored a deep vexation after being left and left to rot and almost die inside the collapsed labyrinth.

Meanwhile.. Time continues to sink the sun. In the education district, precisely in the square of the Hogward magic academy. The quiet atmosphere turned rowdy as a result of the magic battle that was going on.

There were very few people in that place at the moment, however the magic academy was only active in the morning and afternoon. It was also what made the magic academy square look dark once the sun completely sunk and dissipated its light.

"Coercit."

A chain that shone out from the magic circle of a magic knight, the attack was aimed at Oana who did not want to come with them.

"Contra impetum." Oana neutralized the magic, saying she was quite superior in this regard.

The fight happened because Oana refused to come with the two of them, what else the two magic knights could not explain in detail the purpose and purpose they brought Oana.

"Somnum." One of the witches again attacked directly from the front, Oana dodged by hiding behind a large pole standing behind a roof.

"Ahhhhhhhh.. Hey who are you guys?" Ask Oana while still on alert.

"Miss.. Surrender, this is the order of the magic chancellor." Reply to one of the magic knights who tried to take him.

"Stupid.. Where could the magic chancellor want to meet me. I'm just here to meet one person and that person is Aliyah." Oana Strictly.

Elsewhere, it's still inside the town of Lockdown.

The residence of the Chancellor of Magic. Still in a lavish dinner by the magic Chancellor, some of them already looked full and no longer chewed food while for Rebecca who these few days only ate simple food, the, not satisfied and still enjoy some of the food menu that is still available.

The tense atmosphere began to be seen when Smits returned to charge the Chancellor an explanation of who Anne Drigory really was.

The magic chancellor smiled as he clutched the two fingers propping up his chin on the table. Beside him still faithfully stood a white-haired old man. "As Gerald has told you, The woman you are protecting is a witch who has been cursed by the Devil." Definitely brief.

"That doesn't explain anything." Firm Smits.

"I'm sorry to interrupt the Chancellor, but to me Anne's just an ordinary woman in fear." Ivy said, continuing the Smits.

"Hem.. You guys have been fooled. Anne is the last descendant of the Drigory family who is a family of great witches and is one of the leaders of this city." The Chancellor said, he continued.

"A few years ago, the Drigory family conducted a magic experiment. An experiment that ends up destroying their own family due to his failure. The experiment had been banned by the magic council but it turned out that they continued on and insisted that the magic experiment they conducted would have a great impact on survival in this world."

Smits and the other holy knights seriously listened to what the magic chancellor said.

The chancellor who stared back at them explained that the experiment they were doing was intended to create a magic item capable of increasing the power of witches to face the demon clan that was increasingly threatening.

It was the goodwill of the Drigory family, what else was the Drigory family was one of the strongest witch families ever on the Neverland mainland.

But their experiments were forbidden because they carried out an experiment using the blood of the great sin class demons and the bodies of the former holy knights. They perform a dangerous ritual that could have left the city in ruins.

The ban did not stop the Drigory family's intentions, but they continued to experiment illegally. The experiment was discovered and the entire Drigory family was sentenced to exile by the city's magic council.

Unfortunately, it was too late, when the magic knights conducted a raid on a magic laboratory of the Drigory family. The experiment brought disaster to the Drigory family, even with the child who is currently the last descendant of the Drigory family.

Their experiments fail and instead grant a curse and turn the Drigory family into monsters with extraordinary powers that rampage and destroy the city of Lockdown.

There were thousands to hundreds of thousands of people who died as a result of the incident, until finally the magicians of the city Lockdown managed to paralyze the monster and liberate the city at a cost that is not cheap.

"From that fight, I had to lose a lot of my friends. Including Emma Drigory. The mother of Anne Drigory you're currently protecting." Obviously the Chancellor continues his story.

Emma Drigory who turned into a monster along with other Drigory family was defeated with the help of soldiers from Inggram kingdom and Celestial Kingdom.

The magic chancellor stood up and opened the robe and lifted the shorting he was wearing. "Not close your eyes." Said the Chancellor who saw Smits' expression right in front of him.

"This is the scar I got when I fought with my own friend, with a friend who had turned into a monster due to the curse of the dark magic they were trying to create." The chancellor said he showed a burn that had a hole in his left abdomen.

"God..." Ivy was surprised to see the scar.

"This is proof of how powerful and dangerous the magic curse inside the girl is." The magic chancellor assured them.

"I thought that only Emma, her husband, and her sister were affected by the magic curse. But in fact the curse has penetrated all the blood of Drigory descendants, including the blood of the last descendants. Anne Drigory's." Obviously, and then he added. "Because of that fact, all of Drigory's descendants were killed and stamped as descendants of demons. They're all sentenced to death except for Anne Drigory."

Smits narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out what the Chancellor was saying. "Then, why wasn't Anne murdered?" Ask.

"That's because Emma, my friend and best friend at the end of her life begged me to take care of and protect Anne." Firmly Chancellor of magic.

"However this incident happened when Anne was 4 years old, she was very small and I have raised her until now. Raising him from the shadows without the knowledge of the magic council. I raised Anne while protecting her from the outside world. "The Chancellor once again.

"Unches.. You're a very nice woman." Babe Rebecca.

"But.. If it's like that. Why is he so scared." Ask Smits.

"He's afraid of me or of anything, he's afraid of himself because 2 years ago Anne lost control and killed a witch I assigned to look after and care for. Anne killed her own nanny and from then on she became terrified to this day." Chancellor Resolutely.

The conversation goes on to tell the story of Anne and the origin of the curse she intended. All the questions asked by Smits and the holy knight were answered convincingly.

The more the chancellor told them everything, the more they believed Anne was a very dangerous woman. Not because of her but because of the curse of the dark magic that was inside her.

Turning to the eastern part of Neverland, where the night sky has also replaced the afternoon sky.

On a horse-drawn carriage of the kingdom of Skandia, where Princess Gayatri was sitting pensively. A knock on the train door awakened him to his daydreams and falling tears.

"Yes" said he to the man who knocked on the door of the train.

"Daughter, it's me Ihsan.. Tonight we'll take a break and make a tent in this place." Ihsan said from outside.

"Yes fine." Gayatri reply lethargic.

Ihsan who is outside knows that lately Gayatri is often moody. It was natural considering what had happened with his family as well as his kingdom.

As Ihsan passed, he still regretted his inability to protect the kingdom just as what his father wanted. He walked away from the carriage that Gayatri was riding, and from his left, Prince Erling and several knights approached in full armour.

"Mr Ihsan.. I got a reply from my father, the King of the Kingdom of Scandia." Said.

"really.. What did your father say, Mr Erling?" Ihsan approached curiously.

"Yes.. First of all I must deliver you and Princess Gayatri safely to the palace. It's likely that we'll reach the palace 3 days from now." Firmly Erling with his flat face.

Meanwhile at the Skandian Royal Palace..

Moments before Erling got a reply to the letter she had sent earlier.

"So it's true that Princess Gayatri was kidnapped by the Devil?" The King of Scandia asked a man with armor standing in front of him.

"Yes my lord king of the Skandians, the letter you read has confirmed if the current king of Jolang asks for your help so that daughter Gayatri can be saved from the devil disguised as a man named Ihsan." Said the man in the arm.

"Hmmm.. This is the true writing and stamp of king Jolang. Alright, I will order Erling to save Gayatri's daughter from that demon named Ihsan." The light of the king of Skandia on the emissary of the Nusantara kingdom who is currently in front of him.

After the conversation, the king of Jolang ordered Erling by letter to kill Ihsan and release Princess Gayatri.

And at this time..

When the tents began to stand.

When Gayatri got off his chariot, he was heavily escorted by Erling's subordinate knights, while Ihsan, who was confused, was forbidden to approach.

"Sir, what's going on?" He said when he was prevented from approaching Princess Gayatri.

"This is the king's command.." Said the knight who was blocking Ihsan.

"What does that mean?" Ihsan began to suspect the strange movements of the knights. "Hey, what are you doing?" Say it again.

From the direction of the big tent, Erling came out. "Mr Ihsan, calm down.. That's part of our security protocol. Be calm.." Her speech.

"But sir.. I have to see Princess Gayatri." Said Ihsan who started to panic.

Erling with a flat face approached until she arrived before Ihsan. "Calm down.. The princess is safe with us." He said while holding onto Ihsan's shoulder.

"Princess Gayatri is safer with us than you.." Firmly Erling with deep emphasis.

"Mr Erling, ap..." Not finished Ihsan spoke, Erling quickly hit the heart of Ihsan until Ihsan fell down, not enough until there he kicked Ihsan's head until Ihsan fainted.

"Basic Devil.. Good thing my dad gave me a quick reply." Said Erling who exerted her strength to make Ihsan faint.
