บท 425: Demon viscount

Just after my first successful bidding, while we were laughing merrily at the astonished expressions of the public, I suddenly felt a terrible thing as my heartbeat quickened harshly.

It was a terrible feeling... as well as a sinister one.

I remembered feeling something like this. This bad, evil, stomach-crunching feeling.

And the heart that stayed calm in even the firecrest situations was beating wildly, so I knew the first thought that came to my mind was absolutely correct.

It was a sign of a demonic presence. And though it was coming from afar, I knew this was the strongest one I had ever encountered.

Even Lucy confirmed that I was right... a demon did actually appear somewhere near these lands.

And I wasn't the only one that felt this strange thing that was coming from probably outside the city.

Grandpa also looked in the other direction just as me and then back at me, astonished that I could feel something from so far away.
