## Chapter 1185 – The Dwarf Kingdom of Magnagrad

It wasn’t particularly far from here to Rumillerzaud’s main base.

Their headquarters were quite close to this human city. Right in the middle was a mining area, putting the dwarves and humans in a state of confrontation. In other words, a dwarf warlord and a human noble were in conflict over the mines.

None of that mattered to me.

We rested for a day, so it should be fine to head over right away.

We had a quick strategy meeting, and Karin and I decided to go to the fortress.

Whatever the case, the two of us were incredibly strong and well-balanced, capable of extreme DPS, extreme tanking, and extreme mobility, so we could charge into the fortress, wreak havoc, and then easily slip away.

These kinds of infiltration-destruction-assault operations weren’t suitable for mages anyway. Claudie and Liztina would stay here to protect the mages.

So, Karin and I headed to Rumillerzaud’s base.

“Ooh.”

His base was literally an iron fortress.

The fortress built by the artisan race of dwarves felt like an impregnable stronghold, with walls that were incredibly high and sturdy.

“Wow. They actually live in something like that?”

Karin was genuinely impressed.

“Those dwarf bastards really do have amazing craftsmanship.”
“Yeah.”

And it wasn’t just one fortress. Spires rose here and there, and the walls stretched out quite a distance.

Seeing these insane fortresses and the fact that they sent over 300 warriors to attack us, these guys seemed like a much more powerful warlord group than I had imagined.

But my thoughts were a bit different.

“Weak. They’re weak, so they rely on fortresses and subordinate warriors.”

Rumillerzaud is weak.

“Hehehe, if you have true power, you don’t need that kind of thing.”
“You’re really full of confidence.”

Karin, standing next to me, fiddled with my ear.
Anyway, I could see the fortress gate up ahead.

“What should we do? Sneak in? Just hop over the wall and look for that Rumillerzaud bastard?”

Infiltrate?

“Sis, do we really need to go through the back door?”
“Hmm, that’s not very honorable.”

Karin smiled at my words.

“It’s not something a warrior would do.”
“Let’s walk proudly everywhere.”

—Swish.

I immediately put my hands on my hips and started modeling walk towards the gate.

—Step, step.
—Swish, swish.

Putting my right foot further to the left than my left foot, and then putting my left foot further to the right than my right foot. It was literally the modeling walk that models learn. I think the professional term was catwalk.

As an extremely trained warrior, I could infuse even the most basic walk with murderous power. That was the essence of the Demonic Divine Art.

“Ah, seriously. Stop messing around. It’s so funny. You walk like such an idiot, ugh.”

Then Karin, unable to hold back her laughter, smacked me on the back.

“Hehehe, if it made you laugh, then it’s all good.”
“You look so handsome when you just shut your mouth and stand still, you know? Huh? Are you going to keep messing around? Are you going to keep walking like an idiot?”
“No. So, you’re saying I’m not handsome when I open my mouth and move?”
“It’s not that. It’s just that you do those slightly idiotic things, you know? Ah, seriously, stop messing around, you bastard, because it’s so funny.”
“Okay.”

As Karin and I were chatting, we arrived at the entrance of the fortress. The gate was closed, and there were four guards on duty.

“Halt. What business do you humans have here?”

The dwarf guards pointed their halberds, revealing their hostility.

These dwarves belonging to the Rumillerzaud warlord group tended to dislike humans. It was almost like they were fighting with humans over the mines, so it was only natural.

“Hey. Tell your boss to come out. Rumillerzaud, was it?”

Karin swaggered and provoked the guards. She tilted her head, looked down, tapped the ground with the toe of her shoe, and spat.

“What? Are these guys crazy?”
“Are you out of your minds?”
“Oh yeah? These humans want to die, do they?”

The guards’ faces immediately twisted at her swaggering attitude, and their fighting spirit surged. These guys were more hot-blooded than I thought.

More than that, our Karin looked so cool.

I decided to state my business before these dwarf bastards attacked.

“Carnival Hammers. Fate Crushers. Grand Disasters. Flash Choppers. Don’t those names sound familiar?”
“Uh…?”

The dwarves’ faces showed confusion at those words.

Those bastards were all warriors who came looking for us and ended up being slaughtered. They were all full of fighting spirit and confidence, but they couldn’t stand up to me.

Just because you have fancy names doesn’t mean anything.

If you want to show true strength, you don’t need to give yourself such flashy names. You can just say ‘Celestial Demon’ and it’s over.

“I’m the human who slaughtered all those bastards. Go tell your Rumillerzaud. If he doesn’t want to die, tell him to come out barefoot.”
“E, eeeeeemergency!!!”

—Beeeep!

With the dwarf’s shout, the fortress’s alarm system was activated in an instant.

“Emergency, my ass!!!”

I knew this would happen anyway.

“Uwaaaaaaaah!!”
“Revenge for my friend, Ratabums!!!”
“Dieeeee!!!”

The guards, wielding their halberds, charged at me, and I lightly punched them in the face.

—Thwack!
—Crash!
—Thump!

In just one second, the dwarf guards whose faces were ruined were all sent flying and crashed into the gate. These kinds of grunts weren’t even entertaining. I could win even if I fought with just one strand of my hair.

“Whew.”

Karin, who had been crossing her arms, whistled as they flew away.

“What are you going to do now?”
“If he doesn’t come out, we’ll have to charge in.”

Boom, cha, cha, boom.

“Let’s go up the wall.”

—Thwaaang!

I kicked off the ground and shot my body into the air, landing on top of the wall. It was quite high, but for me, who had mastered the mysteries of the Celestial Demon’s Descent, this was nothing.

—Thump!
—Pow!

Looking over, Karin was running up the vertical wall as if she was sprinting. Her speed was very fast, and soon we were both standing side by side on top of this high wall.

“Wow. Look at that jumping power. It seems this sister can’t even compete with your leg strength anymore.”

Karin said in an emotional tone.

“This is the power of a demigod.”
“It’s really satisfying every time I see it. I’m always thinking about it, and I’m starting to understand Claudie’s ideology.”
“It’s natural to feel that way when you have someone with dazzling talent next to you. I’ll be your light and hope, sis. Watch and enjoy.”
“That’s true, but seriously, stop messing around.”
“Okay.”

Anyway, we stood side by side on the wall and looked at the fortress.

“It’s an emergency!”
“Emergency!!”
“Prepare for battle!!”

It was noisy.

Thanks to the alarm system, the entire fortress was going into battle mode. Warriors gathered, and dwarves who had been lurking in all directions sprinted.

How amusing!

“Hahahaha! It’s like a swarm of insignificant ants!!!”
“Hey. Call the landlord quickly. We need to collect the rent.”

—Haaa.

I took a deep breath.

“RUMILLERㅡ!!!!!!!!!! ZAUD!!!!!!!!”

—Rumble, rumble!!!

“COMEㅡ!!!!!!!!!! OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

I unleashed the Celestial Demon Divine Art Lion’s Roar, shouting so loudly that the fortress seemed to shake…! The dwarves who had been moving busily below stumbled and fell at the earth-shattering reverberation.

“Ugh!”
“Kuaaaah!”
“That sound…!”

The fallen dwarves covered their ears and looked up at us.

“I’ve come!!!! Rumillerzaud!!!!!! You relied on your weak warrior group and acted so cocky!!! If you don’t want to die, come out and kneel before meㅡ!!!!!!!!!”

I conveyed my intentions to them.

So that all the dwarves in the fortress could hear.

“Seriously, look at how loud your voice is. You’d be really good as a great general or something.”
“Great general? Sis, that’s nothing to me.”
“What kind of boasting are you going to do now?”
“I’m not a great general. Not a great general of war or anything like that.”

A great general is nothing.

“I should be something like a god. A god of war or a god of slaughter.”
“Yeah. You be a god. I’ll be a Valkyrie.”
“That sounds good.”
“Should we buy winged costumes when we get back and have sex?”
“Damn it! I’m ready!”

Soon, the dwarves who had been sitting down stood up and unleashed their anger.

“H, how dare that bastard insult Lord Rumillerzaud!!!”
“Kill him!!! Let’s show them our power!!”
“We’ll win in our fortress!”
“Waaaaaah!”

The guys who were spewing out their fighting spirit came up the stairs of the wall with their respective weapons. They’re probably coming from both sides, so Karin and I can just stand back-to-back and take them all out.

“Wow, but those dwarf bastards really have a lot of fighting spirit. I kind of like them.”
“Hehehe, I actually do too.”
“Then, with respect.”
“We’ll have to send them all to eternal rest.”
“And we should give a gift to that Rumillerzaud bastard who set up this situation.”
“Should we cut off their heads and give them to him?”
“Aren’t they going to get angry like they did at that dwarf village?”
“How can they get angry when we’re there?”
“Kyahaha! That’s right!”

Soon, the dwarves came up.

I immediately stood back-to-back with Karin.

“Should we bet on who kills more?”

Karin said that.

“What do I get if I win?”
“Hmm, grant a wish?”
“No. That’s too cliché.”
“There’s nothing else, is there? Or maybe, should I ask you for a play that I was too embarrassed to ask for?”
“Hehehe, you lewd sister.”

Then it’s decided.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

The dwarves who had come up onto the wall like a swarm of bees shouted. It was just a straight wall anyway. There was nothing but the front and the back. And since Karin was behind me, I didn’t even need to worry about that.

—Paaat.

I immediately took a step forward.

—Whoosh!

I deployed the sword flame.

“Uooooooooh!!”
“Kuaaaaaaa!”
“Killeeeeeeeeeee!!!”

As I took in the sight of the dwarves charging at me in a frenzy, I immediately!!!!

—Kwaaang!!!

Kicked off the ground with a strong force and shot my body forward!!!

“Where!!! Is Rumillerzaud!!!!”

At the same time as the collision, I swung Vügal widely.

—Chwaaaaaaaak!!

Crimson blood splattered along its trajectory.

“Keuhk!”
“Uwaaaaaaak!”

With just one horizontal slash, up to eight dwarf warriors were butchered and turned into corpses. I gripped the sword that had carried out the attack tightly, and when I unleashed a powerful stab, the dwarves who were running at me from the front were pierced and exploded.

—Pueoooooong!!!

The output was like firing a cannon instead of stabbing…! I could feel infinite power!

“Die, you weak bastards!!!”
“Ueoeeoeok!!”
“Uwaaaaaaak!!!”

I swung Vügal, and swung it again, slaughtering all the dwarves who had come up onto the wall. As long as the sword flame was deployed, no matter how many dwarves came, I could swing my sword without ‘any resistance’.

Charging at us in such a dense formation was just like asking us to grind them all up.

—Chwaaaaak!
—Pshaaaaak!!!

How many seconds had passed?

“It’s over.”

The blood of the dwarves that had overflowed from the wall formed a river and poured down below. Only Karin and I remained on the scene. The dwarf warriors who had attacked were all in pieces, scattering their entrails and blood.

“Hey, hey. I can’t even count how many people you killed.”
“I think I won, roughly?”
“No way. This sister killed more.”
“Ah, go count the number of corpses then.”

But I don’t think I can count them either.

“Anyway, your skills have improved a lot?”
“This isn’t even showing off my skills.”

I need a proper guy, not just grunts.
This is just a massacre.

“Well, there must be a proper warrior in the Dwarf Kingdom.”

I don’t know if he’s here though.

“Well, I guess so. Hey. But what if some Dwarf Kingdom Swordmaster or something comes looking for us because of this?”
“Hehehe, maybe. If that bastard comes, let’s kill him with a joint attack.”
“If we’re going to do that, we should bring Liz and Claudie.”

Should we?

“Anyway, let’s go, sis.”
“Where are we going?”
“Wouldn’t he come out if we went to the biggest building here?”
“I guess so.”
“Then let’s go there.”

I pointed to the other side.

Beyond the roofs of all the buildings.
The largest and most magnificent building was located there.

“Let’s go!”

—Kwaaang!

I kicked off the ground and shot my body towards the roof in front of me. —Thump! After landing, I sprinted again and shot my body towards the roof of the building on the other side.

—Thump!!!

As soon as I landed, I ran again and jumped over to the roof on the other side.

Karin was also following me, jumping over the roofs of the buildings in a similar way. After confirming that, I increased my speed even more, and finally reached near the largest building.

And.

—Kwaaaang!

I kicked off the ground again and shot my body towards the window of that huge building.

—Swoooosh!

I felt a brief sense of floating.

—Crash!
—Kwaaaang!!

I broke through the window and the wall, infiltrating the interior of the fortress’s central building.

“Kim Kat’s Raid, dezaaaaaaaat!!!”
