The child was shivering in the toilet stall. Lian hurriedly took the child outside. At that moment,

Bang!!!

A rough explosion sound echoed once again.

“Just look ahead and run! You can meet the kids up there!”

“Ahh!”

While shedding tears, the child started running forward quickly. Seemed to be overwhelmed by fear, without looking around. Leaving the child running towards the group far ahead, Lian looked toward the forest where the perception-distorting magic was cast.

Bang!

Listening to the sound once again, he stepped into the forest.

“I’ve been hearing all the explosions coming from the main building. Today, most of the kids are at the main building because of the internal meeting. I have to go save them!”

As he silently invoked the dark sword, the back of his hand glowed crimson. The moment a drop of blood flowed from his hand and touched the ground, a red circle with a diameter of about 2m was created around Lian.

The blood gushed out from the circle, engulfing Lian and flowing downward. When the blood completely flowed down, Lian was wearing a much more splendid uniform than before, holding the dark sword aloft.

The dark sword emitted a surging red aura, exuding a dangerous feeling.

“How long have I waited for this day… Ahh, it was really a long wait.”

For three years, the dark sword had to endure a life shuttling peacefully between the annex and the main building, suppressing its hobby (to be admired for writing beautifully).

Thanks to Lian’s contract, otherwise, the dark sword would have gone wild, seeking a new contractor.

In such a state, the dark sword was showing off quite a bit due to finally being able to express its long-suppressed desires.

“…Why did it become so splendid?”

Due to the dazzling appearance of the dark sword, Lian’s expression became somewhat troubled.

No! We’re not there yet! It’s lacking that ordinary yet splendid and monotonous yet dynamic feeling!

Lian gave up understanding the words of the horse with a cool smile.

Kwakwang!

“…! This is not the time!”

At the sound of another explosion, Lian quickly regained his composure and started running towards the main building. With a light kick on the ground, his body shot forward at an incredible speed.

Thud!

“Huh?!”

His posture was thrown off by the unexpected speed. He managed to grab onto a sturdy tree to prevent himself from falling.

“What, what’s going on here?”

[Hoo hoo hoo. This is all thanks to my outstanding ability as a Gargandor!]

After listening to the boastful words, he learned that the luxurious uniform not only served as clothing but also provided various buffs.

After hearing this, he realized that his senses had become more acute than before.

“Ugh… it might take some time to get used to this.”

As he ran, he almost stumbled forward, and if he moved without thinking, he felt like he would roll several times on the ground. He lightly jumped in place and alternated between running forward gently and stepping back.

After repeating this several times, he became accustomed to the strength. In a hurry, he immediately leaped into the forest.

Swoosh.

A white mist began to settle around him. With the passage permit, he could move forward without getting lost.

With improved reflexes, he skillfully avoided the trees that seemed to be approaching as if running and crossed through the forest. When he was about halfway through the forest…

“…!”

[They’re coming!]

Lian immediately understood the words of the horse, which had been cut off front and back, and stopped walking. Someone was approaching beyond the white mist.

[An enemy… is coming!]

The demonic sword wailed with a divine voice. The mist lightly dispersed, and bright sky-blue hair came into view. A man with fierce eyes scanned Lian from top to bottom and spoke.

“Are you the boss?”

“Yes?”

Lian responded in a startled voice. The man casually tossed and caught a transit pass in his hand as he continued speaking.

“The black coat who destroyed the Deviathan organization, held the underworld in the palm of his hand, and played with it as he pleased.”

“…?”

“The slaughterer Lian, who even demolished the arena of the Four Heavenly Kings, right?”

“…??”

For three years, Lian had only moved between the annex and the main building, refraining from going out. It was all incomprehensible to him until information about the Deviathan organization suddenly came to mind.

“Come to think of it, maybe it was because of the gag filter…? But aside from that, it’s all wrong! Me playing with the underworld? Black coat?”

He burst into laughter at the absurd rumor.

“It can only be seen as someone framing me or the rumors spreading strangely.”

Confusion turned into calm as Potensien’s words brought clarity. Lian tried to gather his thoughts, but Potensien acted faster.

“Well, it’s not really an important story.”

Potensien flashed his pointed teeth and lightly scratched his chin with his index finger. Then, he lowered his body and extended his right hand to the side.

Swoosh.

As waves surged around his palm, a spear with an aquamarine color took shape.

“What?! Hey, that’s copyright infringement!”

The demonic sword wailed, spitting out modern words every time it absorbed blood.

“Oh! Even demonic swords have ethics!”

Hearing the demonic sword getting upset over something strange, Lian felt his tension ease.

“Hmm, do I really need to be tense?”

Let’s recall the Debiatan annihilation incident that happened a while ago. Even the tension that remained in me flew away as I observed Lian’s relaxed appearance.

“Huh, I’ll make that stupid face crumple!”

[Partner! We can’t lose either! Hurry and deliver a cool line -….]

Chung!

Before the words of the mage ended, Potensien rushed at Lian and slashed diagonally due to the reflex nerves being several times faster because of the buff.

Potensien took two steps back than expected from the strong force.

[Profit! Attacking without even listening to the opponent’s lines, how rude!]

The mage seemed to be very angry and began to emit a fierce energy. At the same time, his body began to move on its own. Lian did not resist the movement of the mage.

When Lian took a proper stance, Potensien burst into laughter.

“Haha! Let’s fight properly!”

Potensien rushed with a fierce expression.

***

Gargandoa has killed thousands, tens of thousands – maybe even more life forms. As Gargandoa absorbed blood, he became stronger, to the point where there would be no one left to stop him except the Dragon Lord as time passed.

Gargandoa obtained Lian, an infinite refill partner. Being an infinite refill does not mean that the quality of blood is low. He had been eating plenty of such blood every day for over three years.

Having sucked up hundreds, thousands of people’s worth of blood each day, Gargandoa had become so strong that even when the Dragon Lord came, he could not be stopped.

“Ah, darn it… damn!”

It was only natural for Potensien to roll on the ground in a mess.

‘The difference is huge.’

Potensien vomited blood and barely looked up at Lian. Lian, who stood proudly without any sign of disarray, clearly showed the gap in their abilities.

Suddenly.

Potensien ground his teeth, drove the window into the ground, and barely managed to get up.

“I’m going to fall apart in a place like this? Me, who’s going to be a king?”

Potensien aimed for the position of the demon king who served “that person” by surpassing the Four Heavenly Kings. Instead of becoming a demon king, when he found himself in a situation where he could die like a mere insect in the hands of a human, Potensien couldn’t hide his anger.

The white part of his eyes began to turn dark red.

“Huh, hoo… I won’t collapse in a place like this, no way!”

As his anger-filled words continued, his demeanor began to change. A storm of dark red energy spread out from him. The demonic sword licked its lips as it looked at Potensien.

[Looks like he’s about to go berserk. Fool.]

“Berserk?”

[It means when one’s power goes berserk due to being blinded by rage. You can use twice the strength, but in return… your mind and body will be completely destroyed.]

Recognizing the cliché-like situation, Rian immediately understood the situation.

“Isn’t that dangerous then?”

[Even if you become stronger, you’re still just a bug.]

Hearing the arrogant words of the demonic sword, Rian felt relieved. She should have realized it then. The demonic sword’s statement was a ‘cliché remark’!

“I’ll kill them all, all of them!”

Kuhaaak!

A storm of dark red energy spewed out from Potensien’s body, and his body began to transform strangely.

Demon wings sprouted from his back, his skin split under his eyes, and two new eyes appeared. His forehead also split, and a large eye emerged.

The mist disappeared due to the raging wind. The illusion magic circle shattered due to the powerful magic.

The moment Rian narrowed her eyes and looked up at Potensien.

“Ah.”

Silently, a glinting aquamarine spear flew under his neck. It was too late for realization.

Whoosh!

The window pierced through the stomach in slow motion. The window that pierced through the stomach popped out from the back. When Lian staggered and vomited blood, Potensien burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! Don’t blame me -..!”

You guys lost because you’re weak!

Before his words were finished, Lian spoke calmly.

“Cough, cough… Oh, really… My clothes are ruined.”

…!?

With a composed expression, she pulled the window handle and lightly slipped out. Potensien’s confident face turned pale.

“This, this can’t be…”
