Chapter 133
I looked at Eric and Goran, who were talking as if relieved .
But in spite of their words, their guard was completely up .
Their sharp eyes scanned our surroundings .
However, Kathe stomped towards me and said happily,
“It looks like the wind breath was very effective against those machines!”
“If anything, I think it was almost too effective . ”
“GAHAHAHA! Do you really think so? You are probably right . ”
The magic machines had strong magic defense for both fire and wind .
And her attack had gone straight through it all, so there was no questioning its power .
In any case, Kathe was too relaxed .
“Kathe, it’s too early to celebrate . Keep your guard up . ”
“Oh? I think it is alright now?”
“No, there are probably still enemies in your house . ”
“But you burned them all away, Locke! Though, I am very anxious about my furniture… But there should not be any more enemies . ”
Kathe was born as the strongest of living creatures, and so she had an optimistic view of it .
I was still worried, and so I said to her,
“Maybe the goblins and low-ranking vampires are dead, but there could be Archs and Lords . ”
“No, Locke . I doubt even Archs and Lords could have survived that . ”
“I agree . Kathe may be too optimistic sometimes, but you are too pessimistic, Locke . ”
I understood what Eric and Goran meant .
But any enemy who couldn’t survive that fire was not very strong .
I could take them down with one hand behind my back .
On the other hand, anything that did survive deserved to be taken seriously .
“Kathe, aren’t you forgetting something? There are Evil Dragons, aren’t there?”
“Oh, that is right . But I don’t sense their presence . ”
“They could be sleeping deep inside . ”
“I do not think that even Evil Dragons would sleep while fire is blazing around them . ”
But them being awake didn’t mean they would come out .
They could be lying low and waiting for us to come inside .
“Well, let’s go in . Kathe, you take the rear . ”
“Alright . ”
“And don’t use your breath in there . ”
“I know . My claws and fangs are strong enough . ”
And so we cautiously made our way into the palace .
As the paths were wide, I, Eric and Goran could walk side-by-side .
“There is the toilet!”
“I see . ”
“And there is the kitchen!”
“Alright . ”

Kathe explained as we walked .
Still, it was possible that there were enemies lurking in the toilets and kitchens too .
And so we had to check .
“It doesn’t seem like the fire did much damage . ”
“Well, it is a dragon palace, after all . ”
“Ah, here’s a medal . A Vampire Lord must have died in the fire . ”
We found the occasional medal and pile of ash, but that was all .
There were no moving enemies .
“Maybe they really did die then?”
“I hope so . Kathe, where is this trash can?”
Philly, the genius Alchemist, had suggested that this trash can was creating the magic machines .
“Oh, that trash can is just around the corner . ”
“Alright . ”
I walked a little faster but remained cautious .
Just as we were about to turn the corner, a blade came swinging towards my neck .
I quickly bent backward and out of its path .
It was a Vampire High Lord .
His sharp sword slashed at all three of us at once .
From behind him, an additional five Vampire Lords were charging at us .

“So they survived the fire!”
Eric sounded very happy .
Maybe these vampires had been strengthened by the Evil God .
“Don’t underestimate them, even if they are just Lords!”
“I know!”
Eric and Goran swung their weapons, not holding back even a little .
Given their number, each of us had to take down two of them .
Still, Eric and Goran were doing very well .
And so I fought with the Devil King Sword .
When in a party, my main role as a Sorcerer was defense .
Especially when indoors .
There weren’t many opportunities to burn all opponents to the ground with overwhelming firepower .
You had to control it carefully .
But given the circumstances, it was much better to leave it to Eric and Goran .
“I, I…”
“Kathe, watch our backs . ”
“I know that!”
Like Sorcerers, Kathe was not able to live up to her full potential while indoors .
Her attacks were too strong and had too much range .

As I traded blows with one of the Vampire High Lords, his eyes began to flash .
It was Charm, a skill that vampires were very good at .
The other five vampires’ eyes flashed as well .
They were pooling their power together to enhance the effect .
“Six or not, don’t think such a cheap trick could ever work on us!”
“Hmph . As if Charm would have any effect!”
“Hah, you almost made me dizzy for a second!”
Eric seemed quite fine . But Goran had me sweating for a moment .
He was probably joking, but I wished he wouldn’t do that .
“Goran, hold yourself together!”
“No, I’m fine . Don’t worry . ”
While he was high in level, Goran was a Warrior . He had the lowest magic defense out of us three .
Even then, the power of five High Lords doing Charm together should not affect him .
Still, there was always a one in a thousandth chance .
“Maybe we should have brought an item to raise magic defense . ”
I muttered as we fought . That’s when it happened .
–GGGOOOOARRRRHH!!
A blast of wind breath hit us .
