“Please don’t disturb me! Your slash makes my slash miss!”

“….What? Why is it my fault? You probably didn’t get it right. And as I said before, I will kill that bug bastard.”

“Who decides what they want?”

I have nothing to say.

So far down below that it looks like a dot, they are talking fiercely, showing their intent to kill each other…? That’s what Gel, the old warlock who looked down on the women sharing, thought.

Since they are obviously the same human beings, they would have kept their lives and energy towards each other to a minimum. It was enough to reach Gel, which was floating very high.

“Huh…Huh..”

“Soo…breathe…!”

In the case of humans who were incomparably weaker than those two women, there were those who sat down in fear or fainted with foam at the mouth without even being able to start the fight.

Of course… it would be rude to even compare myself to those women. What is certain is that even those guys seemed to be doing quite a bit.

There was only one reason not to aim for the moment when forceless violence disguised as conversation was aimed at, when one might think the person was most off guard.

It is clear that he will be the number one contributor to awakening the Demon God. They criticized each other as if they weren’t even paying attention to themselves, and the sudden attacks were anything but ordinary.

It was clear that it was a distance that most swordsmen’s attacks could not reach, and that was the reason why it was positioned in the air, where it was not easy to attack even if it was an excellent magician.

Suddenly!

“Playing it over and over again… I really feel like a bug.”

“Keuuuugh…!”

There was something strange about those women. Attacking this distantly high location so quickly and accurately, without even weakening its power?

This is already the fourth time. The blue-haired swordsman’s slash flew and his wings made of black magic were cut off.

How on earth can a slash reach this height with a normal sword strike? It was a strength that could not be explained within the common sense of Gel, who had lived for at least 200 years.

He was well aware of the anecdote about the Sword Master who conquered the continent even before old Gel was born.

They say he split the mountain and the sky with a single sword strike. From his childhood until now, Gel has not believed that nonsense.

…So far, that is. For the first time in his life, Gel had no choice but to acknowledge the existence of the Sword Master.

Soak-ae-!

“Wow…!”

“…It’s a shame. I was planning to kill you with this one.”

This attack was truly dangerous. When the white-haired woman gestured, a slash came so fast and strong that even Gell, a powerful warlock, found it difficult to react, cutting off his arm.

It was fortunate that he managed to deflect the attack that was aimed at his neck and hit his arm without even a trace of magic power.

…How on earth does a wizard use magic with that much power? It’s so simple, and it can be used without chanting, magic circles, or even leaving a trace of magical power.

In fact, Gel, along with other cardinal-level warlocks, had subdued a dragon that was evaluated as a 5-star monster or better for research.

Even at that time, several strong men had to be lost to capture one dragon alive.

This is because the dragon’s overwhelming body, the amount of magic it possessed, and its skill were beyond imagination.

When the dragon makes a single gesture, dozens of magic circles appear and all natural mana is absorbed and used as if following the dragon.

The capture of the dragon, which caused dozens of huge stones to fall from the sky and spouted flames reminiscent of hellfire, allowed the few remaining warlocks to achieve overwhelming growth.

“Yes…what on earth are you talking about-!”

After Gel managed to regenerate the wound on his abdomen, he cried out in a cold sweat.

That woman, no. What on earth is that being?

Even the dragon, who had made Gell aware of the fear of death for the first time in his life, never used magic so simply and quickly without chanting.

And a blue-haired woman standing next to him. That existence is also foreign.

Even the legends about the sword masters of the past did not contain the eccentricities of that woman.

Obviously… it must have become stronger by using the black magic and life vessel that it has accumulated over the past 200 years.

Let alone fighting those two beings, I couldn’t even dare to come into contact with them.

‘What on earth is going on…! Those bitches, that beast I met a while ago-!’

As I looked at those strange beings, I suddenly remembered the beastman who had made Gel use the Life Vessel for the second time not long ago.

“Damn… What on earth did that traitorous bastard use…!”

A dark-haired traitor who ruined his perfect plan. Although he faced his first death because of that traitor, the 200 years were not wasted.

Life Vessel. I was barely able to survive by exchanging my soul with that thing, which is also called another body, just before death.

Even in the case of Gel, who was considered the strongest among the cardinals, he was mortified at the thought of the traitor who had made him use the essence of black magic, which only two could be created.

“That bastard…! Phew, no.”

Gel, who briefly burst into anger, tried to remain calm. If you think about it for a moment, it might not have been a bad result.

Even though the Life Vessel was used and the grand plan was ruined.

It was fortunate that the purity of black magic became stronger the more you used the Life Vessel.

“Anyway… How was the traitor able to use ‘reverse calculation’…”

Back calculation. A technique that can be said to be the essence of black magic that even Gel, a cardinal-level black magician, could not perform.

The traitorous bastard was proud to use the inverse calculations that Gel, who had studied and honed black magic all his life, could not do.

“Gel, I have completely taken control of the village you ordered.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

Gell, who had kicked out the proudly speaking warlock as if he was annoyed, began to think deeply in the warlock’s hideout.

“It’s a reverse calculation…”

Obviously, that technique can only be performed by someone who is at the Pope level, not even at the Cardinal level…

…That traitor. Now that I think about it, my left eye seemed a little strange. That couldn’t be possible, but I could feel a dark magic power in my left eye that even Gel couldn’t fathom.

Okay.. I decided. We need to somehow find that traitor, cut out his left eye, and study it.

And… the countless amounts of black magic, and even the black waves that swallowed me up.

Sigh…

Gel stood up, leaving the old sounding chair behind.

“…….?”

But… something is strange. Whether you like it or not, the dark wizard’s hideout has always made a certain amount of noise. Because it was so strangely quiet.

Jerk… Jerk…

In the darkness beyond the open door, the sound of footsteps is heard. It was very slow, but not light at all.

“….who is it.”

It’s definitely one of the warlocks… but for some reason, it sends shivers down my spine. It feels like being inside the maw of a huge tiger.

Gel lowered his posture and gathered his dark magic power so that he could attack right away.

As soon as footsteps were heard beyond the darkness, a familiar face appeared. It was the face of the warlock who had just left the room excitedly.

“…You. What are you doing there?”

Normally, I would have been told to wear a mask. He had taken off his mask and had a blank expression on his face.

There was no light in the pupils, like a dead person…

Slurp, slurp…

Warlock. No, the warlock’s severed head falls and rolls on the wooden floor.

Before Gel can judge the situation, footsteps are heard. And what was revealed was a prisoner with empty eyes and carrying something on his back.

“You…who are you-”

“You. Can you save someone?”

Before Gel finished speaking, a low voice, like the growl of an animal, echoed throughout the room. If it were a normal Gel, he would have scolded him for being rude or attacked him right away if he didn’t like it…

“…………!”

Gel couldn’t even breathe and was frozen in place. Because as soon as I looked into those empty eyes, I thought of the black waves that killed me.

….no. It cannot be compared to that. Is this beast… really a human?

It is clearly a woman with a smaller body than herself, so why does she look so huge and like a mountain?

What on earth is that creeping red aura, and why does it make me so fearful?

There is no response to her words, only the sound of teeth chattering.

“…You too. Looks like I can’t do it.”

“What is that-”

Gel, who tried to respond to the low-pitched voice, could not continue.

Obviously, the prisoner didn’t show any action, but his vision began to lower and no words came out.

Tung-tung-tung-grrr..

…No, it wasn’t that it didn’t move. It’s just that I didn’t notice the beastman’s attack.

Beyond the receding field of view, you can see the figure of a prisoner turning around and leaving without any regrets. What she carried on her back resembled a human shape.

“…Even this doesn’t work…? Then how can I get back with my master…”

At the end, I heard a voice that revealed darker emotions than all the negative emotions I felt in the waves of emptiness, and I felt like my soul was connected to the only remaining Life Vessel.

Afterwards, he was reborn for the last time, and based on his body becoming much stronger than before, he planned to fulfill his plan again from this newly established castle.

He didn’t even think about taking revenge on the prisoner who killed him. That was no different from throwing the last life I was given into the trash can.

I should have… I should have done that.

“…I caught it. I took revenge for him.”

“Ha. Did you think so? It’s an attack that wouldn’t have hit me without my slash.”

“….I don’t like you.”

“That much is the same. I hate you too.”

I felt the view starting to gradually sink from the high sky. Gel finally realized.

That my long life and my hopes of achieving grand plans were shattered in this place.

puck-!

As soon as the gel’s head, which was cut off so easily, hit the floor, it burst into pieces due to its speed.

“Okay…is it over?”

“I couldn’t do anything…”

“….huh. You’re crazy.”

The subjugation team members clicked their tongues and looked at the two women as the quest suddenly ended after they had been unable to do anything but tremble.

“You must be… Ariel Frost. My name is Seris. I hope I never see you again.”

“…Seris. Don’t appear before my eyes.”

The conversation between the women, who were fearful and incomparable to that powerful warlock, ended, and the subjugation of the warlock, which was scheduled to take three days, ended in just five minutes.

And everyone present remembered that.

Those two women… no, I shouldn’t incur as much hatred towards those beings.

A monster that has lived for over 200 years, a demon that has taken and tortured countless lives, and darkness itself.

If it weren’t for them, the monster would have devoured and absorbed everyone present and headed towards the empire, creating millions of victims.

The old monster, Gel, disappeared so vainly and simply.

These attacks are not even sincere, but are similar to complaints filled with frustration caused by an argument.
