“Ha… haha! I couldn’t have imagined this. In a situation like this, I never would have guessed that they would choose to pursue us.”

“Because I am not from the East. And if you caught just one fire dragon, you would have done a lot. For your information, the cub who died now is guilty of making the fire dragon look bad.”

I kept quiet about Hwaryong’s request.

Even if you say it to the demons, it is not a good thing to say and will only increase the value of the egg.

Lian, who decided that, took Stella away and remained silent.

“Your death was deserved, Balkan. He came to the meeting point without knowing that he was being followed… … .”

“Even though it’s stupid, isn’t it a good thing? The opportunity to kill our archenemy has come on our own?”

“Miss Predesis, have you ever thought about us dying at the hands of the Sword Saint?”

“If it had been one-on-one, it might have been true, but four of our highest-ranking demons are gathered here. Surely you won’t say you won’t help?”

“Ugh… ! Me, I don’t want to die!”

The demon, who had successfully corrupted the wooden dragon but suffered cruel treatment in return, fled from the spot.

Facing someone stronger than himself was a trauma in itself for him.

‘Hey, what is it?’

The result of the trauma is running away alone.

Lian was suspicious of the demons leaving without fighting, but left them unattended.

It wasn’t like they were running away with the eggs, and killing them could be put off until the last minute.

“This makes us three!”

“That coward!”

“Leave it alone. Anyway, in that state, it has no value as a force.”

When one leaves, Lian is confronted by three high-ranking demons.

As the tense battle of nerves continued in silence, he was the first to lift Stella.

Immediately after that, he threw his sword at the flame-shaped scale eggs that were rolling around on the floor.

grasp! Stella stuck into the side of the egg with a sound.

The demon had a confused expression on his face as he couldn’t figure out why Rian had thrown the sword in the wrong place.

For a moment, the sword that was deeply embedded in the ground began to glow and took on the shape of a human.

“Stella, take the fire dragon’s egg and stay away.”

“Fight alone?”

“If the egg breaks during a big fight, it will be a major accident. The accident is enough that I killed the fire dragon with my own hands.”

“Okay!”

Stella returns to Lian, carefully holding the fire dragon’s egg.

There was a whip that tried to grab her ankles, but it was cut off by the sword before it could touch her skin.

“It’s a modified work.”

“Kisishit! This was my first time seeing a sword that could turn into a human and speak, so I just wanted to get up close and personal with it.”

“Don’t you demons not even know the basic common sense that you shouldn’t touch the owner’s belongings?”

“Don’t you already know that there is no point in forcing human common sense on us?”

“So, you were stuck in the land of your neighbors for the rest of your life? You came to someone else’s land, made a mess of it, and now you’re trying to leave because you don’t know what I’m talking about? They are, after all, bastards with poor conscience.”

Lian even clapped his hands and mocked the demons.

The demon with the funny clown mask was just laughing, and the female demon named Predesis was snoring.

On the other hand, Beppet, a dignified demon dressed in a tuxedo, was quietly observing Lian.

“In addition to illegal entry without permission, overthrowing the Eastern Kingdom, and even corrupting the dragon. Without further ado, everyone is summarily executed, you bastards.”

Crump! Ttuduk!

Lian relaxed her tense muscles and stiff bones by lightly stretching them.

Then, without a word, he arrived in front of Beppet and the fight began.

“First of all, you.”

“Don’t think that we are being tolerated quietly.”

“Ha! There is a threat to the end.”

“Ugh!”

The tightly clenched fist hit Beppet in the chin, sending his body flying far away.

The tree that Beppet first collided with flew backwards even though its roots were tightly embedded in the ground.

“It’s a shame.”

The power to separate the head from the body with the vertebrae still attached.

However, just before the fist reached his chin, Beppet crossed his arms to block it and was able to survive.

The only thing I could do was not be able to do anything until the arm that blocked the fist started to regenerate.

“You’re not the only one who knows how to perform a surprise attack!”

“The moment you squeal loudly like that, it’s not a surprise attack, you idiot.”

Behind Lian, Fredesis is wielding a dagger as bright red as his own hair.

However, the blade was stopped by just two fingers.

Even though the surprise attack was in vain, the corners of Fredesis’ mouth were turned upward.

“You’re the idiot!”

“Hmm?”

From Rian’s fingers holding the blade of the dagger, the blood vessels on his arms and shoulders, and even on his neck and face, protruded colorfully.

Lian looked with interest at the prominently protruding blood vessels that looked as if they would burst if touched.

“Is it a poison-based dagger? … .”

“I applied poison from the undead hydra that can corrupt all the blood in your veins just by touching it.”

“You’re using a mediocre tactic.”

Lian cut a particularly large blood vessel on her arm with her fingernails and cut herself.

The black blood flowing through the veins was melting the ground as soon as it hit it.

“It’s no use! Because the hydra’s poison has penetrated into the entire body!”

“If it were an ordinary hydra poison, it would definitely be tricky. However, when you kindly informed me that it was the poison of the undead hydra, it was confirmed that you were an idiot.”

“This sacred power is so unpleasant… … Is it really divine power?”

“Yes, it is the power that you demons hate the most.”

The divine power imbued with Lian purified the corrupted black blood into the original red blood.

By the time the purification was over, Rian had healed the wounds he had inflicted and completely restored it to its original state.

“How are you using divine power when you are not a believer! Worse yet, I don’t even have that famous holy sword!”

“Well, maybe Praana is willing to consider me even though I am not a believer.”

In the part where he declared himself a hero, the goddess recognized Lian as a hero and bestowed divine power on him, or when he mixed himself with Alayna, the sacred power of the holy sword was absorbed into his body.

There were many possibilities, and Rian couldn’t tell which hypothesis was true.

Whatever the truth, it was important to Lian that he too was able to control divine power.

Thanks to his divine power, he was able to see the demon’s face crumpled like a piece of paper, and he felt satisfied.

“For you, divine power was deadly poison, right? Then, try your best to decode it with Magi.”

“Aaaah!”

After stabbing Prethesis in the abdomen with his middle finger, which concentrated divine power, Lian kicked her and sent her flying far away.

It wasn’t hit as hard as Beppet, so it stopped in front of the tree trunk, but Prethesis collapsed in place.

“Whoop!”

Soon, his cheeks swelled up from the blood flowing back, and eventually he couldn’t hold it back and started pouring out blood.

The divine power that penetrated into her abdomen twisted her five internal organs and attempted to purify the source of demonic energy.

Predesis was no longer able to use magic energy.

“Wow, you’re amazing! You can’t believe you defeated two of the highest-ranking demons in this short period of time!”

“… … What are you doing quietly without attacking me?”

“You mean me? Unfortunately, I’m not good at all-out warfare, so I was preparing a fun show.”

“Do you think I’ll let you go alive just because you’re joking?”

“Don’t worry. It’s not a show for eye candy, but a slaughter show to kill just one human being.”

The clown mask, which was always smiling brightly, suddenly lowered the corners of its mouth.

The water drop-shaped dots under the eyes began to look like bloody tears.

“It’s sad that there will be no audience for the spectacular show that will be presented from now on, but it can’t be helped!”

Taaaak-!

When the clown snapped his fingers, a three-tiered box identical to the Lian key hit him.

As soon as it swallowed Lian’s body, the box closed the opening and closed, leaving him trapped.

“Will Geomsung be able to survive in that box?”

A clown mask performed with the audience in mind.

With a single gesture of his hand, countless swords appeared in the air and stabbed the box again and again.

The box was so covered with swords that it would be no exaggeration to call it a hedgehog rather than a box.

“The show is not over yet!”

Sigh!

With a single snap of a finger, the entire box started to burn, and soon water was poured on it to extinguish the fire.

As soon as I was drenched and confirmed that the water had seeped into the inside, lightning struck.

After that, lava seeped into the box, and spears and arrows, in addition to swords, pierced the box like crazy.

How long has it been?

A box covered in dirt, charred black, and rolled so that the surface was tattered.

The clown mask was truly delighted to see it standing tall without moving a single inch.

“Even if he is a swordsman, he is still a human in the end! I did it, but I died so horribly that there was no body left.”

“Sigh… ! Cough! Cough!”

“Oh! Predesis! How did you detoxify the divine power within your body?”

“Not yet. I just want to put an end to the person who brought me such terrible pain with my own hands.”

“Anything like that is possible!”

A clown mask that gives up the front.

Predesis held the cursed dagger backwards and rushed towards the box.

As the distance got closer, he raised both hands and slashed the dagger at the box.

However, the dagger’s blade never touched the box.

“Are you done?”

The box, which had been tightly closed, burst open and a hand reached out.

He grabbed Predesis’ arm that was holding the dagger and pulled him, and with the recoil, Lian came out of the box.

The positions of the two were completely reversed and Lian closed the box.

Afterwards, he bent the sword that was on the floor and hung it on the lock so that it could not come out of the box.

“Now, wait! Open this!”

“Congratulations, you will be the last one.”

“What does that mean… ?”

Fredesis frantically knocked on the wall inside the box, but there was no sign of it opening.

Even if there is no lock, the box cannot be opened from the inside because it is made with the abilities of the clown mask.

Rian opening the box with force was something abnormal.

“I poured out all kinds of attacks, but I didn’t expect you to come out clean.”

“It was quieter and more comfortable inside than it looked. You’re not going around there to satisfy your sexual desires, right?”

“You’re the only one who would think of using my unique ability in that way.”

“This bastard is so ignorant. wait. After I subdue you, I will show you the true purpose of that box.”

“I’m not particularly curious. I have no intention of seeing it.”

The clown mask steps back and Beppet steps in where he was standing.

The arm damaged by Rian had finished regenerating.

“Sorry for being late. I will never let my guard down again.”

“It’s okay, I’ll help you from behind, so trust me and run wild to your heart’s content.”

“Hmm!”

At that moment, the atmosphere of the battlefield changed.

A dark demonic energy surrounded Beppet, and at the same time, his body immediately enlarged.

The demon, who had grown much larger and thicker than the trees around him, looked down at Lian.

“This time it’s my turn!”

Beppet puts his hand into the magic energy that is spinning quickly like a whirlpool.

He took out a vicious-looking greatsword with eyes inside the magic machine.

The size of the great sword was as large as that of the enlarged Beppet.

If you strike down the sword, the surrounding area will be pulverized, and humans will be crushed without any resistance.

Nevertheless, Rian’s expression was very calm, without any sense of crisis.

“It’s trivial.”

“I’ll kill you… !”

Beppet raised a large sword large enough to block the sun rising in the sky.

The clown behind him gave Beppet various demonic blessings, making him even stronger.

The demon with the power to split heaven and earth poured all of his power towards one human.

“Mojiri, you cannot defeat me because you rely on such shallow power.”

Lian puts her hand on her chest.

A combination of sharp sword energy, holy white light, and scorching flames rose up in his hand.

Rian removed the hand containing the three powers from his chest and swung it towards Beppet’s great sword.

Kwagwagwagwang-!

The collision between the sword and the blade of the hand caused the ground to be severely distorted, and the trees were broken by the incoming wind pressure.

The harmony created by the clash of powerful forces.

But there was dissonance, one side swallowing up the power of the other.

The result was clearly visible in the part of the great sword spinning in the air.

“Am I pushed out?”

“Yes, you lost.”

A series of cracks were heard, and Lian’s hand pierced Beppet’s chest.

The flame that was still burning showed its greed and devoured the demon’s denial.

“The calculation was wrong. I should have guessed it right away from the words that he killed the fire dragon… … .”

“What do you want to say?”

“Please don’t act like a fool. That flame killed the fire dragon and took its heart, right?”

“I don’t think I have an obligation to tell you that?”

“… … Well, it would only hurt my mouth to tell this to someone who is going to die anyway.”

“You are quick to grasp the situation.”

“Kill him. If I run away anyway, I’ll be caught and killed soon, so I’ll just stay quiet.”

No attack works, no defense is meaningless.

Sensing the overwhelming difference in rank, the clown mask raised both arms.

However, since the demons could not hope for mercy from humans, they were willing to surrender, asking at least not to kill them painfully.

“Qu… !”

However, Rian was not merciful enough to listen to the demons’ pleas.

They forcibly removed the mask and injected an ember containing divine power into his snout.

The embers were going to kill him painfully by slowly burning his insides.

“I won’t kill you right away. If you do that, won’t your abilities be released?”

“… … You are persistent in strange areas.”

“Because I decided to show you the proper use of your abilities.”

Lian walks towards the box where Predesis is trapped.

He created a small spark at the tip of his finger.

Then he lifted the box slightly and moved the embers to the bottom of the box.

“Well, what are you doing!”

Despite Fredesis’ shouts, Rian made no reply.

A small but never-extinguishing flame.

Even if there was no change right away, he had a confident expression that things would change over time.

“Open this right now!”

“I want you to let me out!”

“If you don’t open it… ! eww… ! Why is it so hot?”

“It’s hot… ! It’s so hot I feel like I’m going crazy… !”

“Lower… ! Sigh… !”

Change came slowly.

The embers gradually raised the temperature inside the box, creating heat that even the demon’s body could not endure.

At the same time, the voice of Fredesis inside gradually became stickier.

Sweat constantly flows out of our pores and we crave moisture.

Clothes drenched in sweat were not only extremely unpleasant, but were merely a piece of cloth to store heat.

Perhaps to feel a little bit of coolness, the sound of something being torn apart was heard from inside the box.

“Aren’t you curious what kind of scene will unfold if you open the center of the three-tier box in this state?”

“… … .”

“What do you think it would be like if you made a hole just for the mouth part at the top? I guess the woman is struggling to vent even a little bit of heat by sticking out her sticky tongue, right?

“… … Haha.”

“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to open the bottom. Even though you know that the fluid flowing down your sturdy thighs is sweat, it looks strange.”

“… … Yeah, it sucks.”

In the end, the clown mask died when all its internal organs melted in the purifying flame.

His final achievement was that he died with the tower erected.
