## Chapter 1303 – The Demon Race

“You pathetic bastards will pay the price for your antics.”

I took their cannon fire and magical artillery head-on. Is this all the firepower one airship has? It’s disappointing. If they don’t have anything else up their sleeves, I should be able to destroy it easily.

— *Whoosh!*

Finally, a squadron of small aircraft flew toward me. Six in total. Did they think they could soften me up with artillery fire and then take me down with these fighters? They seem somewhat trained, but to me, they look like gnats.

“The Wright brothers are more terrifying than you lot.”

Compared to the Wright brothers, who turned into flying monsters, these are just cute moths. The era of the World Wars. Countless bombers and fighters massacred civilians. Compared to that, these things are… No!!!

“Goddamn it, they’re the same, you bastards!!!!”

These crazy sons of bitches!!! Now that I think about it, these are all killing machines! The kind I can’t stand!!!

Their design is quite different from Earth’s fighters! It’s like a combination of a yacht and a fighter jet, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re murder planes, just like the Wright brothers’ sinful creations!

— *Flash!*

I immediately drew Vugal from my waist!

“Everyone gets the chop! Chop chop chop!!!”

All murder planes must be executed!

“Planes that kill people must be smashed! Witness my power to cleave imperialism and sever evil!!!”

— *Kuaaaaaaaah!!!*

I shouted loudly and kicked powerfully into the air.

— *Wham!*

With just one kick.

— *Whoooooooooosh!!!*

The space instantly narrowed. It reached the fighters faster than they could reach me.

— *Flash!*

I quickly extended my hand and grabbed one of their wings. I stood on the wing flying at high speed. This level of skill is nothing to me.

I caught a glimpse of the heavily armed pilot through the glass. Silver hair, long ears, and pale skin. Similar features to Risha. Definitely a demon.

“…!”

He seemed surprised to see me, his eyes wide, but that’s just the typical expression of someone about to die.

— *Crunch!*

I impulsively plunged my sword into the glass. Blood spurted out. I lightly slashed, and the aircraft split in two and exploded.

— *Tu-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!*
— *Tu-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!*

Five aircraft remained. They fired what looked like machine guns at me, forming a web of bullets.

— *Papap!*
— *Flash!*

As I took those bullets with my bare body, my impression was:

“It just tickles.”

That’s all it did.

The bullets didn’t harm my skin at all and bounced right off.

— *Wham!*

I kicked off into the air and chased after the aircraft. Their speed was fast, but not faster than me. — *Crunch!* As soon as I caught up with the squadron, I lightly plunged my sword in and sliced, causing the aircraft to explode. It was incredibly simple.

As I destroyed them one by one.

— *Pakaaaaaaaang!*
— *Tu-kuaaaaaaaang!!!*

Support fire came from the main airship. Cannon fire and magical artillery. Because they were aiming at me, freely dashing through the air, a rather wide barrage was formed and fired, so I couldn’t block everything.

— *Kuaaaaaaaang!!*

I shattered the shells with my blade.

The ones I couldn’t shatter flew past me and toward the ground.

“You son of a bitch.”

I tried to block as much as possible, but I couldn’t do it all. The shells that passed me exploded when they hit the ground.

「— *Kuaaaaaaaang!!!*」

Explosions created mushroom clouds. The forest vanished, and craters appeared everywhere. The terrain changed. The mountain range was being destroyed like a sandcastle. Of course, it’s not as strong as me, but this was a considerable level of technology.

Just the size of the cannons alone.

I can block it, but the humans of this land can never defeat that airship flying in the sky. If that thing floats above the capital? The Karga royal family will have to pack their bags and leave that day.

“Is that all you’ve got?”
“Keuheok…!”

I asked as I twisted the neck of the demon pilot I pulled out of the last small aircraft.

— *Flailing.*

He foamed at the mouth while grabbing my wrist. If I let go, would he fall and die? He looked like he was about to die anyway. He’s not very strong. I don’t know if it’s because he’s a pilot and not a close-quarters combatant.

If the guys on that airship are like this too, destruction itself should be easy.

Right.

I just need to destroy their weapons one by one like this. And then attack the aerial fortress at the end. The damage that occurs in the meantime can’t be helped. Something like that is running rampant where I’m not. The damage will quickly exceed tens of thousands.

But I will destroy everything and win.

The faster I destroy them, the more I can reduce the damage.

— *Thud.*

The pilot who was pleading in pain was dead. I threw away the corpse and finally leaped toward the airship.

After this reconnaissance, I roughly grasped what that airship can do. All that remains is to confirm who the hell is on board!!

— *Hwaaaaaaaak!!*

The moment I touched the airship, a round shield deployed. The huge shield covered the entire airship.

“A pathetic struggle.”

I deployed the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

— *Kugugugu!*

Immediately, a surge of power swept through. The white-burning power compressed into my fist, and the moment I unleashed it with the essence of Zealot.

— *Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!*

The shield shattered. The surge of power that surpassed it pierced a huge hole in the deck. It’s a huge shield, but it can’t stop me.

More than that, a hole like that in the ship?
The durability seems terrible.

— *Pachangchang!!*

Fragments of the broken shield scattered. Anyway, without this, they can’t stop me from infiltrating the ship. — *Flash!* I landed on the deck. Alright. Let’s see the faces of these demon bastards.

“Hoo.”

I exclaimed in admiration as I landed.

“Enemy confirmed! Complete!”
“First-class special combatant landing on deck confirmed!”
“Species unconfirmed!”

Trained soldiers.

That was my first impression. Like the pilots of the small aircraft I just saw, demons with silver hair, pale skin, and long ears, wearing silver armor, drew their weapons and expressed their fighting spirit with loud shouts.

“Single entity! Confirmed!”
“Execute Operation Dragonslayer!”

The level of each individual is definitely high. I can’t deny that they could threaten a nation. But they don’t measure up to me.

“These demon bastards. Don’t you guys greet your elders?”

I spun Vugal in my hand, checking the ship’s forces. There are many cannons, and behind them are mages, minotaurs, and even cyclops.

“Huh? I said, don’t you guys greet me, you bastards.”

Are there any other important guys?

“Barrier deployment complete!”
“Suppression field deployment complete!”
“Begin attack!”
“Subdue him!”

Anyway, they didn’t seem to have any intention of greeting me. Dozens of demon knights charged at me all at once. It was a pretty high-level coordinated attack, and it looked like a good formation for ganging up on someone stronger than them.

Judging from what they shouted earlier, they seemed to have received extreme training in this area.

— *Cheoeok!*

I felt something on my feet. It was a tar-like substance rising from the shadows and grabbing my ankles.

“Restraint complete! Annihilate him!”
“First-class suppression magic effective! Annihilate him!”

A mage shouted from the back, and at the same time.

— *Chwahaaaaaaaak!*
— *Chwaaaaaaaaaaaak!*

Auras erupted from the swords of the charging knights. The auras, emitted in silver and black, clearly took the form of sword flames.

“Hehehe, these bastards. Putting on a talent show!”

Omnipotence is transmitted from Vugal in my hand…!

“This teacher’s evaluation is a failure!!! How can I show that to your parents!!! How dare you!!! How dare you challenge me!!”

There’s no such thing as defeat for me holding a sword!

“Good! I’ve confirmed your strength! So now die!!!”

— *Flash!*

I unleashed a sword strike at the incoming guys. — *Whoooooooooosh!* A storm swept through with a single strike. It was an honest, straight-line slash that allowed for all sorts of counters. A master. No. Even someone who knows a little about swordsmanship could parry it, but as soon as that simple slash was unleashed.

— *Chwahaaaaaaaak!!!*

One of the charging knights split in two.

— *Flash!*

As soon as I split him, I lowered my sword and swung it to the right.

— *Thud thud!*

Five heads fell. Can’t they even respond to this kind of attack? I didn’t even need to use my sword. I just swung my other hand.

— *Kwagagagagagagagagang!!!*

A fierce blow.

“Uwaaaaaaak!”
“Kahaaaaaaaak!”

The guys flying in from the left were all smashed to pieces and knocked away. I killed ten people in an instant. The magic binding my feet was just.

— *Crunch!*

I just needed to lightly step on it.

“What!”
“Squad, annihilated!”

The mages in the back shouted in surprise. On either side of them, the minotaurs and cyclops were snorting.

“Kuwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!”

They roared and charged at me.

“Heavenly Demon Obliteration Orb.”

With just one Obliteration Orb thrown lightly.

— *Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!*

They were all just smashed to pieces.

I knew the skills of the combatants on board. The airship is powerful. The combatants on board are also stronger than I imagined. But, it’s far from enough to stop this Kim Kat. This absurd man, Kim Kat.

“Re, retreat!”
“Retreat!”

The demon mages were trying to deploy some kind of spell to escape. How dare they? Escape in front of me? An unforgivable act, so I kicked off the ground.

— *Pahak!*

“Keuheok!!!”

I pierced the guy on the far right with my sword.

“Oh, you shouldn’t have done that.”
“Kuheup!”

The mage whose stomach was pierced coughed up blood. The other mages screamed and fled. I chased after the guys with the mage still skewered on my sword and stabbed their backs.

— *Peoheok!*

“Kuhaaaak…!”

I skewered five demon mages like a skewer on Vugal.

“Demon skewer complete, you bastards.”

I really felt like I was holding a huge skewer.

— *Hwareureureureuk!*

As soon as I deployed my aura, the mages exploded and became minced meat.

“…!”
“A, annihilated!”

Nevertheless, many warriors remained on the deck. An unexpected situation? They were just glaring at me, not trying to attack rashly.

And at that moment.

“Fall back!!!!!!!!!”

A booming voice erupted from the front.
Right.

There had to be a guy like this.

“He’s not someone you can handle!!!!!!!”

It was a large demon. And he was wearing armor that was comparable to the other demons. Just by looking at him, it seemed like he was the strongest guy on this ship. First of all, he had a really rich beard and was wearing a captain’s hat.

— *Cheoeok!*

The guy who drew his sword shouted while aiming it at me.

“You are strong, warrior!!! To break through the ship’s artillery head-on!! Are you a human hero!!!!”

A very confident voice.

At the same time, I could feel that he was quite strong. But not strong enough to compete with me… More than anything, he’s confident. He’s confident even though he knows I broke through the artillery fire head-on. Is he hiding something?

“That’s right. I am the human hero, Kim Kat.”
“I am Sharon Taite, the captain of this ship!!!!”

— *Gooooooo.*

He drew out his power.

“Truly amazing strength!!! I never thought there would still be a being with such power left on this land!”

Overflowing fighting spirit.
He was smiling.

“Hehehe, right. You seem to know. Aren’t you running away?”
“There is no escape!!! Human hero!!! Because we will win!!!”

The captain, showing unfounded confidence, was certain of victory.

Well, I guess so.
There’s no way a warrior like this would run away.

“What are you so confident about?”
“What are you so confident about!!!”

But suddenly, he got angry and scolded me.

“You, who are nothing more than a being who has borrowed the power of God! What can you do! Those who have become stronger with borrowed power cannot be a match for us demons! You are nothing more than a puppet hero, a slave of the gods!!!”

This bastard suddenly went off…

— *Flash!*

Suddenly, he threw a jewel he was holding. I decided to just watch it. I needed to know what means these bastards were using.

— *Paang!*

With a small explosion, the jewel suddenly became incredibly large.
Giantification?

The jewel was red and very beautiful.

— *Chwareureureureuk!*

Magical chains suddenly erupted from the growing jewel. I thought they were going to bind me with it, but they weren’t. The chains began to intertwine with each other and soon formed a bizarre magic circle.

What is it?

“The power of God has been sealed!!! Everyone, attack!!!”

And the captain gave the order to attack.

“Kuaaaaaaaa!”
“Die!!!”
“Annihilate him!!!”

At the same time, the demon warriors, whether they were in a frenzy or something, charged at me all at once. What is it? The power of God is sealed?

“Oh. Shit. Is it real?”

I lightly swung my sword to see if it was true.

— *Chwahaaaaaaaaak!!!*

“Uwaaaak!”
“Aaaaaaaaak!!”
“Kyaaaaaak!”

Then, the warriors who were instantly sliced screamed while spewing blood.

What.

What is it.

What the hell is this.

“What did you do?”
“…What?”

The captain made a dumbfounded voice.
