Chapter 83: 83
The moment Fabian saw Evelyn’s trembling hand, he threw away his hesitation .
“I’m going to save him . ” Fabian whispered to Evelyn, and he got on his horse immediately, spurring it to the direction the carriage was heading for .
“Your Majesty!”
Serus was one step late . He attempted to discourage him from doing so, but he failed . So he quickly got on his horse, chasing Fabian . They were accompanied by the knights who were still alive . The only one left was Logan, who was ordered to protect Evelyn .
“Me, too, I ‘m going too . ”
“Yes, I think it’s better than staying here . ” Logan agreed . It was riskier to stay in the forest where there was nobody else besides the two of them .
“Hold on tight, because I will drive the horse fast . ”
He carried Evelyn on the front of his horse and ran across the forest . Logan couldn’t see well in the dark, but he sensed that the sound of the demon’s wings was getting closer .
Evelyn struggled not to fall off the rough horse . Meanwhile, the running carriage looked like a black cloud wrapped around by a group of Devil Eyes at a distance .
Fabian gathered all his strength and followed behind it . He had to end this chase quickly since horses and humans would run out of stamina first .
“Your Majesty, there’s a cave in the east!” Serus’s voice sounded glad . Devil Eye was basically a bat-like demon . A research found that their giant eyeball was colorless and had little vision, and they sensed the direction by hearing the sound waves .
So, if the flock of Devil Eye was driven into a narrow cave, they would be trapped and turned into chaos, not knowing where to fly .
“Shoot the flame arrows, steer the carriage’s horses!”
Fabian’s order was delivered, and some arrows of fire flashed in front of him . The carriage shook violently and then turned around .
“I’m going in to the cave!”
Fabian also sped up his horse . The flame arrows were shot to the wheel at the back of the carriage, making it easier for him to follow the light . The fire wheel was swallowed up into the cave as a planned . Fabian and Serus then stopped in front of the cave’s entrance .
“What about the explosives?”
“I have one . Before that, does Your Majesty has an antidote?”
Fabian nodded . To send the Emperor into a place like this, Serus must have a minimum of safety equipment .
“If I give a signal, detonate the explosives . Then burn all the demons that fall to the ground and those who revolte…”
“I’ll kill it . ”
The knights standing behind Serus nodded together . They were just four, but they were able to defeat the demons because they had a geographical advantage over the cave’s shape .
“I’m going in . ” Fabian stepped into the cave . As predicted, a group of Devil Eyes smashed into the cave wall and dropped to the ground . Still, as a demon, they roared fiercely and didn’t give up easily .
“It’s a terrible thing . ” Fabian cut the Devil Eye, which flew in front of him with a sword .
The smell of demon blood was really disgusting, especially when it mixed with humid air . The cave was getting narrower and more crowded with Devil Eyes . So there was only darkness in front of Fabian right now .
“Your Majesty, the carriage is in the north… it has been overthrown!”
“I’ll go . ”
Fabian slashed the demon right in front of him again . Then he hurried to the direction of the carriage . He didn’t know what was driving him this far, but Fabian felt like he had to go .
“Your Majesty……Please do not come!!!” The knight’s voice suddenly rang out in the dark .
“There are so many of them!!!”
The knight’s breath was panting . Fabian finally saw a disturbing sight in front of his eyes . He sighed, then got off his horse and plunged into the fierce battlefield .
It was a demon’s immortality, which never died despite being cut many times . The endless sounds of monster death kept ringing in the cave and made his head hurt . Fabian didn’t know how many eyeballs he had to cut just to take one step forward .
“Hah, hah, hah… . . ”
Fabian’s breathing was getting harder without realizing it . Extreme fatigue overwhelmed him . But he couldn’t stop moving . He found the carriage’s window that had fallen sideways was right in front of him .
“Die, you filthy things!”
When Fabian wielded his sword, some of the Devil Eyes fell down again . Just then did he see that the window of the carriage was broken . Inside, a maid with an almost fainting face was desperately holding the crying Adrian .
Yet, suddenly, the swarm of demons came rushing in endlessly . As if they had been targeting the carriage from the start . And Fabian didn’t have time to get there .
“Why, they’re running around here . ”
It was strange . A Demon initially attacked a big person . Besides, Devil Eye didn’t have the intelligence to plan or cooperate . They should only aim and target nearby prey . So Fabian didn’t understand why they could catch up here even though there was an obstacle called a carriage .
“Stop! Die!”
Another demon corpse had collapsed . But still, it was like a situation where three people would come out together after one of their friends was cut . And it seemed that this carriage was their only target .
“Did the Vatican send you again?”
Fabian’s chilling anger made the Devil Eyes flustered .
‘Khikkk!’ ‘Khikk!”
Their screams were like scratching Fabian’s ears . The blood splattered everywhere, and the cry of a child trapped in the carriage made the current situation almost like hell .
A Devil Eye suddenly crashed into the carriage window . At this rate, Adrian would be in danger . Fabian positioned his shield, the only armor he had, on the window and blocked the carriage with his own body .
“Tell the master who controls you . ”
There was a lot of life in the dark .
“Today’s incident won’t be redeemed by just his death . If he dare try to harm my thing… . He better beg me to kill him . ”

His low voice sounded like a curse .
Spratt!
The demon blood splashed into Fabian’s face . He slashed his sword recklessly as if he didn’t care about doing the massacre .
He swung his sword for someone else’s sake for the first time in his life . Fabian didn’t realize it, but this was the first time he had fought to protect something that he kept behind him .
“Serus, are the explosives ready?”
This fight wasn’t difficult because of the rage that was different from before .
“…It’s almost done!”
“Blow it up as soon as you’re ready! They’re too many!!”
Fabian was literally attempting to rip all those demons to death with his own hands, if possible . But if he did, Adrian would pass out from over crying .
For some reason, Fabian didn’t want to see that boy cry . But he hated Evelyn’s crying more than that .
“Your Majesty, we’ll blow it up! Watch your ears!”
But Fabian couldn’t hear it because Serus’ words were swallowed by the sound of the Demon Eyes flapping .
Krackkk!!!!
A huge explosion sounded through the cave and made Fabian’s ears almost deaf . Looking around, most of the Devil Eyes blew up and fell . The rest was the job of Serus and the other knights to get rid of it since there were no longer demons around the carriage .
“We just need to clean up what we see now . ”
Fabian’s eyes glistened gruesomely . As he said, after swinging his sword a few times, he could see the air instead of the damned Devil Eye . He sheathed his sword and took out the shield that protected the carriage window . But, at that moment, he heard the deafening sound of something crumbling .
Gruduckkk… . .
His hearing hadn’t returned, but Fabian could immediately understand what was going on as he looked back . The big explosion that happened just now had destroyed part of the cave, too .
“I must say that he was a lucky kid … . ”
But it wasn’t t a very pleasant situation . Even though the place where the pile of stones collapsed was just a few steps ahead of the carriage .
“Your Majesty, are you alright?! The demons have already been cleaned up . ”
“It’s okay here . I’ll take a look at the Prince, so get rid of this first . ”
“Yes!”
Fabian, who communicated with Serus through a gap in the pile of stones, opened the creaking carriage door .

“Oh, she passed out . ”
The old maid was bleeding on her forehead as she bumped her head when the carriage fell . Yet she deserved to be rewarded for hugging the Prince to the end . In return, Fabian personally pulled both the maid and Adrian out of the carriage .
“Huh…… Ugh… . ”
Adrian was about to burst out the tears he had been holding back . After Nora passed out, he was so afraid of the demon’s attack that he closed his eyes tightly while Fabian killed all Devil Eyes .
“Huaaaa Ji… . moo*!”!”!”
For Adrian right now, Fabian was like a hero in a fairy tale . He was the one who came to rescue him after slaying the scary demon . Adrian’s whole body was wet with sweat and tears . With his hands wide opened, he begged Fabian to hug him while shedding tears .
“Jimoo! T- The demon,… . I’m scared, I’m scared!”
Fabian hugged the child who came to him in fear . There was no other way but to embrace his soft, thin body, which hadn’t yet dried up .
“There’s no demon anymore . I killed all of them, so don’t worry . ”
Fabian didn’t know the right words to soothe a child . So this was the best he could do .
“No demon? Jimoo, did you win?”
“……… . Yes . ”
It was clear that he killed them, but Fabian chose not to correct Adrian’s words . He also decided not to mind his title right now .
“Evelyn? Evelyn, is she hurt?”
“She’s okay . The demons was defeated by me . ”
Fabian said to comfort Adrian, who was shedding a bit of tear, pulled him closer, and made eye contact . Then Adrian’s attention turned to his cold -black eyes .
“Jimoo…… looks so cool . ”
Adrian, speaking shyly, hugged Fabian in the neck .
“Hey…hey, stop . ”
It was too difficult for Fabian to deal with a child . Mostly if his entire body was covered with demonic blood .
He held Adrian awkwardly . But, Adrian, who seemed oblivious to that, just leaned his cheek to Fabian .
“Jimoo, you saved me . The demon…wanted to kill Adrian… I was so scared…”
Fabian could tell from his voice that Adrian started to cry again . He felt embarrassed and patted Adrian on the back . Fabian hugged him tightly, then the child’s breathing seemed a bit more steady .
“Keep going, keep going . Kill Adrian!… . . the demon said that, I was afraid of them………I want to see Evelyn . ”

“We’ll see her soon . ”
“Ummm… . ”
Perhaps because of the fear, Adrian’s body was hot .
“Jimoo, you’re a black hawk . You’re brave… You’re strong . ”
Adrian had to be very shocked . There was no strength in his muttering voice .
“Protect Evelyn, too . Demon… . . it’s so cold…… Adrian hurts . ”
“What?” at a moment’s notice, Fabian examined Adrian’s body, touching him in some part . He quickly picked up Adrian and looked up at his face . Unlike before, Adrian’s gaze kept dropping .
“The monster bit me with his teeth, it hurts …”
Fabian had never heard of a Devil Eyes assaulting a human by biting with their teeth . But nothing was impossible since it was a demon, after all . Besides, it was hard to perfectly protect the child from the countless hordes of demons .
“Adrian, look into my eyes . Tell me, where were you bitten?”
Hugging Fabian, Adrian’s head fell even limper . On the back of his plump hands, Fabian saw vicious tooth marks and blood .
“Jimoo . If the demons comes again…… . . will you protect Adrian again?”
Fabian’s heart was beating nervously as he felt that Adrian’s forehead was hot as if it were burning .
“Yes, I will protect you . ”
But Adrian had lost consciousness before he could hear the answer .
“Adrian?”
For the first time, since he was born, this was the first time that Fabian’s hand trembled with fear . But he must regain Adrian’s consciousness as soon as possible . He examined the demon’s bite mark, lifted him, and laid Adrian down .
“Damn it . ”
Why didn’t he find it earlier?
As Fabian hurriedly turned Adrian’s back, blood was flowing through countless bite marks . Counting the amount was pointless because the bleeding was quite severe . He could no longer smell human blood, as it was covered in the stench of demon blood .
“Adrian… . . Adrian, open your eyes . ”
His heart seemed to fall into despair . The little hand that hugged him a while ago was no longer moving .
“Adrian!!!”
The little boy tried hard to hold back his tears, said that he was cool, and thanked him . But Fabian just couldn’t protect this one .
