Chapter 84 – Battle of Sorrent.

“◼◼◼◼◼!!”

With an unintelligible groan, the demon presses Crugild with its huge body. A huge fist covered in chitin like black armor compresses the surrounding air and creates terrifying wind pressure just by swinging it.

-Chaeng!

Nevertheless, Crugild somehow reads the path of Sisyphus’s fist and catches it with the blade of his sword and throws it away.

Even though I was so shocked, I felt like my wrist was going to be broken, and I was confident that my body would explode no matter where I made a slight mistake.

‘It doesn’t get hot at all!’

Sigh! On the other hand, his attacks, even if he slashes his arm with his fist, only produces sparks and leaves a simple scratch on the guy’s carapace.

“◼◼◼◼!!”

The demon deflected his fist, but tried to swing his fist with his other hand at Krugild, who fearlessly dug deeper into his embrace.

“Do you think I’ll leave it that way?”

One of the knights sticking around raised his fist and thrust the spear he was holding into the exposed armpit of the demon.

“◼◼◼◼◼◼!!!”

The man who had been stabbed in the vital spot seemed to feel pain and tried to throw the knight away with his fist, but he had already been impaled on the spear and had lost his momentum, so he was unable to throw the experienced knight away with his flailing arm.

Thanks to this, through the gap created, Crugild was able to use Sisyphus’ point to stab the sword between the animal’s carapace and into its abdomen, where the orange, wrinkled inner skin was located.

“◼◼◼◼!!”

“Tsk!”

Seeing the healthy hand aiming to grab Crugild, he had no choice but to kick the creature in the abdomen and back away before he could twist his sword and deal a bigger blow to the intestines.

He thought that he could win if he accumulated damage to him step by step, but

“◼◼◼…”

When he muttered something, even the wound he inflicted healed in an instant and disappeared.

“Until recovery…”

I could tell that it had regenerative abilities just by looking at the intact fingers that had already been burned by the marker used to shake off the hand of the guy who was holding Sisyphus, and half of them had fallen off, but seeing this over and over again was shocking. 〈 Br〉

“Hero, who are these demons?”

“Is there a way to win?”

At the same time, agitation spreads among the knights who were attacking him together.

“Are you saying that all demons are monsters like this…”

Every time Sisyphus collided with the man’s claws, I almost lost his grip several times due to the force that seemed to twist his grip, but I was able to use all my strength not to let go of the swordsman.

‘You can’t show your ugly side in front of a real hero.’

What should I hide? He did not deny that he was a fake. But that may be why he was more earnest and wanted it more.

At this moment, the fake is leading everyone instead of the real.

‘You just watch from there.’

Crusild held Sisyphus tightly as he remembered the image of a woman who was watching him from under the platform, so delicate and immature that he could not believe she was a warrior.

“No matter what, his regeneration will not be infinite. I will use the Maka to cut off his vital points in the shortest possible time.”

Because Crugild had already prepared himself. He said he would definitely surpass a real hero. He just thought that now was the moment.

“So, could you please give us a little more time?”

“””Yes!!”””

The knights willingly decided to become Krugild’s shield after seeing his determination to fight without giving up.

“◼◼◼◼◼!!”

“Protect the hero!”

The demons lashed out with their fists again, but Crujild believed them and focused on his Maka. A very special marker that allowed him to remain a success among numerous failures.

“[Lumen Elatio].”

The first thing he did was to amplify his power. Unlike the buff, there is a penalty that puts a strain on the body, but he has no time to think about it.

“◼◼◼◼◼◼!”

“Ugh! What’s so strong?!”

“When it’s time to complain, stop it a little more!”

The guy who was persistently targeting Krugild changed his goal for a moment when his knights continued to interfere, kicking them and swinging his hands to try to get them away, but they hung on persistently.

“[Lumen Flame].”

A second Maca dwells in Sisyphus, and it begins to shine even more.

“◼◼◼◼◼!!”

The guy who discovered it seemed to sense a sense of danger and stretched out his hand toward Crugild, but he couldn’t avoid the knights’ interference.

“Wow! The shield is broken!”

“Block it with your body!”

For Crugild, who is preparing for the greatest blow, the knights without a single face support his comrade’s body and use their own bodies as shields.

Thanks to this, the moment his Sisyphus shined brighter than ever, Crusild kicked the ground with all his might and ran towards the bastard.

‘If only I could overcome this ordeal, I would…!’

He passed by the corpses and distorted helmets of the knights who had sacrificed for him, overtook the knights who were still struggling, and burrowed into his arms.

“[Color Kaido]!”

“◼◼◼◼!!”

Starting with the last marker, which he used with all his might, he swung Sisyphus wide from the bottom up and cut him from his right femur to his left collarbone at once.

‘It surpasses the real thing!’

The strike, which was made by stacking the Maka three times, became a blinding line of light that pierced through the guy and swung along with his grip, cutting the guy to pieces.

“◼◼◼◼◼…!”

Eventually, the guy finally got down on his knees.

Haha.”

But Cru Gilde was also on his knees. This is because the Maca was forced to overlap three times, and it also had the side effect of amplification.

Still, I had no regrets.

“◼◼◼…? ◼◼!”

“He fell down!”

“The hero did it!”

All the demon had to do was hold on to its split body with its own hands and somehow maintain its shape, and the cheers of the knights and people who saw the scene could be heard in my ears.

That’s why I was confident.

‘Finally I see the real thing…’

I wanted to cheer right away from the joy, but now I wanted to see the real face. I wanted to see what kind of expression the real person would make at the fact that he had surpassed me.

If only the sound of the ground shaking and the cheering of people had not stopped.

“Huh?”

Someone’s mumbling voice replaced Crugild’s feelings.

“◼◼◼◼◼. ◼◼◼!!!”

When he felt a doubt and turned his head, what he could see was the appearance of a demon clad in black magic, soaring high into the sky.

“It’s finally coming out in earnest.”

Tiaran watched the scene and was convinced that what was coming would come in the end.

“What is that?”

Crusha was astonished by the appearance of the monster, dissipating her overwhelming intimidation and emitting magical energy that was incomparable to what it was just before.

“This is at least a high-ranking demon level.”

Lucia also couldn’t hide her trembling voice.

“That is a monster.”

Anis also muttered as she stared at the monster. It seemed like Crusild had already been put on the back burner, but it was a worthy sight.

They are called demons because they do not have even a single bit of intelligence to be considered demons and are too powerful to be monsters. Just saying this makes me think it’s backwards compatibility with the demons.

If that was all it was, it wouldn’t even be called a weapon or a bomb.

“Because they have characteristics that demons don’t have.”

“◼◼◼. ◼◼◼!!!”

The first is incomprehensible persistence and aggression that even harms one’s own people.

Second, their appearance is so different and irregular that it is difficult to regard them as being of the same species.

The third is that even high-ranking demons can use an amount of demon energy that is difficult to use, using overwhelming power.

“Because of this, it is also nicknamed the military’s natural enemy.”

Even the basic attacks were specialized in a wide area, so it was a monster that specialized in quantum massacre, destroying the enemy just by leaving it alone.

“Then what have the monsters done with people so far…?”

Anis asked, recalling the behavior of monsters towards people. If humans have Maka, monsters and demons have Makia. And the same goes for monsters.

“Whatever. I played with it properly.”

Although it is said to be closer to a power source because its method is different from Maka, this is an obvious fact since it only fought with its bare body without using demonic energy.

“◼◼◼◼◼◼!!”

“”◼◼◼! ◼◼◼◼◼.!!””

Now, the male type seemed to have lost the thought of doing so due to the fever, and when the male type let out a groan, the female type wrapped themselves around their demons as if they had heard the command.

“So are you planning to go help?”

“Yes, I’m going.”

When I asked Anis about her appearance, she answered while holding her holy sword.

“The road is a bit blocked. Will you be okay?”

“… You’re not going to stop me?”

When Anis asked with trembling eyes, he shrugged her shoulders.

“The newbie said she was going on her first raid, so of course I had to help!”

“Keuhumhum! Hey? Can you please not leave us alone?”

“That’s right! Me too, I don’t know if it will help.”

“Lucia, even Krusha…”

Tia Ran watched them and opened her mouth.

“I’m definitely going to need this time.”

There were three homemade candies in his hands.

“Why… The plan must have been perfect?”

Sizak bit his lip as he looked at the monsters wearing black demonic energy. You can tell just by looking. If they start going on a rampage, there will definitely be no trace of this territory.

‘No, I can’t leave it like that.’

The warrior I trusted has exhausted all his strength, and all that remains is a future of massacre. If so.

‘You have to attract attention!’

At least one person had to save more people. He immediately attached the arrow to the string and fired it at the nearest monster.

-Ting!

“◼◼◼!”

Of course, he was lightly thrown away by the magic energy that was wrapped around his body, but it definitely caught my eye.

“Adjutant.”

“Yes.”

“Order evacuation for everyone.”

“… Sizak.”

He shouted again at the adjutant who was looking at him with a complicated expression.

“Come on!”

“◼◼◼◼◼!!”

However, the monster did not wait for the right time and came in front of Sizak.

‘Is this the end?’

The last thing that came to mind was the image of the adventurer who had first talked to him about changing his strategy.

“I should have listened to him more…”

“I’m glad you recognize it now!”

“◼◼◼◼!?”

When he sensed the end, what came to him was not pain, but the groaning sound of the monster in pain. What I saw when I opened my eyes.

-Quaang!

“Hey. You’re such an unnecessarily proud guy, you almost got into big trouble.”

It was the appearance of Tiaran lightly touching the monster that had flown far away and been pinned against the castle wall.

“… What. Why are you…”

Crusild thought. Indeed. This is a truly absurd and frustrating situation.

“Why did you save me?!”

Because he had already used up all his strength, he was unable to avoid the monster’s outstretched hand and almost got caught. The person who saved him was none other than Anise, with her pure white silver hair.

Then she tilted her head.

“…? Just. We can’t just let him die.”

It was truly the worst answer.
