    Chapter 63: The Sun and the Moon

    The Sun and the Moon

    Even if I were to see the person I came to rescue embracing a half-naked woman I didn’t know and running out, I would be angry, but these two women knew their priorities.

    “Let’s kill that thing first and then talk.”

    “Shall we deal with that thing first and then talk?”

    As if they weren’t sisters, Flare and Luna spoke similar words at the same time and pounced on Samigina, who was attacking Scarl from behind.

    Scarl could see that the two of them were overflowing with composure.

    “Die, demon.”

    “Just die already.”

    A perfect display of swordsmanship, well worth teaching.

    Rather, their actions showed their desire to deal with it as quickly as possible and then interrogate Scarl.

    “Oops.”

    Scarl took Io, whom he was holding, to a place where the aftermath of the battle wouldn’t reach, and then, as an educator, began to evaluate the two’s swordsmanship.

    The two’s combined swordsmanship flowed together like twins who had been breathing together since birth.

    Clang— Clang!

    Samigina, who was blocking the relentless attacks, didn’t seem to have any composure.

    Clangclangclangclang!!

    As they fought, Samigina’s mouth began to stretch to her ears.

    [Just!]

    It wasn’t the look of being burdened by close combat that she had shown in the fight with Scarl.

    Perhaps thinking that she could handle Luna and Flare, she swung her arms and shook them off.

    [You’ll die instead!]

    Scarl couldn’t overlook such a statement.

    Fortunately, the two weren’t fooled by the ridiculous provocation.

    “Hoo.”

    Unaware of Scarl’s feelings, who was waiting for his tingling body and mana circuit, which was so hot it felt like it was burning, to calm down somewhat from the recoil of the big technique, the two and one demon began to fight, and Scarl took out his sword in advance to join in if Luna and Flare were in danger.

    The two succeeded in cutting Samigina’s body several times, but the results weren’t clear.

    “She’s old, so her skin has gotten tough.”

    Only leaving minor wounds, which were even recovered by the demon’s unique regenerative power.

    Luna, feeling that Samigina had recovered more than at the moment of the first clash, discovered Scarl looking at them with a serious face.

    Luna, her face flushed with embarrassment at Flare’s grumbling, replied.

    “Quickly. Let’s deal with it. Quickly.”

    “Okay.”

    Just because their swords became faster, or they surrounded themselves with a little more mana, didn’t mean they could inflict a fatal wound on Samigina.

    Samigina, who had become even more confident, also began to trash talk.

    [Such attacks won’t even leave a scratch. Girl. Go and drink more of your mother’s milk! Or should this grandma give you milk? Huh? Hehehehe! Ack!]

    Flare’s crimson mana flashed.

    Samigina, who easily blocked the attack with the sound of scraping metal, sneered.

    Drrrrrrrk!

    [Hahahaha! Is that all you’ve got?!]

    “Haaaaaaap!”

    Puh-wack!

    It was definitely a powerful blow.

    But the meaning of Flare’s demon sword, which had been hammered in as if an axe were hitting a tree stump, with a burst of sound that couldn’t find any cutting power at all, was clear.

    With the two’s current skills, it was impossible to cut off Samigina’s breath.

    “It’s tougher than I expected!”

    Luna quickly joined in.

    Similarly, gathering all her strength, she grabbed the demon from behind to separate Samigina, who was fighting Flare.

    “Calm down! Flare!”

    [Annoying little fly!]

    She couldn’t ignore Luna, who was attacking from behind.

    The younger sister, who had moved her body back in the time her sister had made, took a breath and looked at her own hands.

    “Sister.”

    “It’s my turn.”

    Luna launched an attack.

    Thanks to occupying the rear, she was about to easily inflict a blow.

    In an instant, Samigina’s head turned 180 degrees, grabbing Luna’s sword strike with her teeth. Almost simultaneously, her arms and legs were bent in reverse joints, and she began to confront Luna head-on in an instant.

    Samigina roared.

    [Hahahaha! You’re weak! Weak! What can you do without Scarl?! Helpless bitches! Ignorant bitches!]

    Luna couldn’t refute the enemy’s words.

    In the world she had returned to in order to save him, the strongest person was not themselves, who had experienced the future, but Scarl himself.

    She felt keenly that she was still trapped in delusion.

    We are no longer the Handmaiden Queen or the Demon Sword Master.

    Just slightly stronger academy freshmen.

    However, Flare’s reaction was different.

    Because she had lost Scarl in front of her eyes because of her own powerlessness, Samigina’s words pierced her heart like thorns.

    In the end, unable to hold back, Flare began to express her mana with tremendous anger.

    “What do you know, you bitch! Just die!!”

    The battle unfolded in the situation that Scarl had been most worried about.

    Flare, unable to hold back her provocation, began to act alone.

    Her breathing became disordered, and the crimson mana that had been dominating the surroundings fluctuated greatly.

    “Flare! Stop!”

    A large blood-colored sun wrapped around Flare, and before Luna could stop her, Flare’s mana began to be consumed quickly like a dazzling sun. Luna stepped back, watching for an opportunity to re-enter if Flare was in danger.

    “Die! Die! Die!!”

    The perfect teamwork of the two had allowed gaps for Samigina to counterattack, now that only Flare was left.

    [Not enough. Not enough. Not enough! To dare to challenge me with such a level, not enough!]

    With disheveled hair and eyes bulging red as if they would burst, her blood vessels popping, Samigina, who had red eyes, was hideous.

    The momentary power that Flare showed was clearly more than the two of them combined.

    But the opponent was a pro among pros who could grasp the context of the battle, a race born solely for battle and war, a demon.

    The shift in the initiative of the attack was instantaneous.

    No matter how great the power, it is useless if it doesn’t work.

    When Flare began to defend, the size of her aura noticeably decreased.

    The moment the demon had been waiting for.

    An unavoidable dark cloud hung over Flare’s face.

    [Death is approaching—]

    The whole world slows down.

    Samigina’s arm stretches out like rubber towards Flare’s neck, aiming for the carotid artery and firing accurately.

    “Nooooo!”

    Luna screamed and rushed in, and Flare made an “ah-cha” expression.

    Samigina’s laughter stretched out long, and the frame of the world stretched out endlessly.

    [—Ah?!]

    The laughter that had been so joyful suddenly stopped.

    In an instant, the demon’s vision flickered as if she had blinked.

    Suddenly, a bitter taste welled up in Samigina’s throat.

    Her heart pulsed weakly, and her energy gradually waned throughout her body.

    Who did this?

    Samigina’s thoughts converged on one thing.

    The Hero who uses incomprehensible power, the name of the guy who should have been most wary of here.

    Scarl.

    I forgot about that bastard.

    The slowed-down world regains its speed.

    [What is this.]

    The sound of a lead sword filling the silent space where laughter had disappeared.

    Srrrreung

    It draws everyone’s attention.

    There, Scarl, who no one knew when he had appeared.

    [This can’t be…]

    Clack

    With the sound of the sword reaching the end of the scabbard, Samigina’s neck slumps diagonally.

    At the same time, the demon’s collapsing arm loses its strength and sinks down.

    “Professor?!”

    “Scarl!”

    Flare and Luna, with surprised faces, could only call his name.

    “Are you both okay?”

    Samigina was more difficult than any enemy he had faced so far.

    She was a magician and a warrior, skilled in one-on-one combat, and adept at discord, conspiracy, espionage, and assassination.

    It goes without saying, but such all-around demons are not common.

    If he had to give her a name, he would call her a ‘Demon King Army executive.’ A head of the intelligence department, a leader of espionage, a tricky bastard who could be expressed with such titles. The contents that only the demons and Scarl in the world would know, but it doesn’t matter anymore.

    It was a tough fight.

    “Hoo— Good job. Flare. Luna.”

    The two had done more than enough of what Scarl wanted.

    They couldn’t break the barrier from the outside, but they bought enough time. If he had been alone, he didn’t know how much time, manpower, and how many lives would have been sacrificed to catch the guy who was running away.

    “No. Scarl.”

    “I’m sorry. Professor.”

    As they said, not everything went well.

    Flare ignored his teachings and took impulsive actions. He thought it would be enough if she was with Luna, who became calm when she entered battle, but he was wrong. Surely the two of them would have lasted longer.

    He was confident this time, so he was able to get through it safely, but he didn’t know what would happen next time.

    “How did you get out of the barrier?”

    “Still, we were breaking the barrier from the outside according to the letter you sent, Professor.”

    What was coming had come.

    The inheritance skill and hidden element in the game, the Heavenly Evasion Sword Technique.

    The origin of all sword techniques and a technique said to have been created by the legendary figure Sword Immortal, Lü Dongbin.

    As with all inheritance skills, it destroys common sense and ignores the laws of physics. Among them, the Heavenly Evasion Sword Technique is in a slightly more special position.

    If most inheritance skills destroy the laws limited to Scarl’s body, the Heavenly Evasion Sword Technique distorts the laws of the world. That’s why he was able to break out of Samigina’s Dream Forest, even though it had an immortality that could never be broken from the inside.

    Of course, it required an enormous amount of mana, as befitting its ability to destroy all the surrounding space beyond common sense.

    Scarl avoids the two’s gazes.

    “I was lucky.”

    As always, he glosses over things in an area that cannot be explained.

    “Lucky…?”

    “It’s a little more than that.”

    Fortunately, the two had committed a sin, so they didn’t press Scarl further.

    In fact, the reason Scarl couldn’t help the two as soon as he came out was because the recoil of the Heavenly Evasion Sword Technique gave him pain as if his mana circuit was burning. But it was an instinct, if it could be called an instinct, that a male couldn’t help but push himself when his woman was in danger.

    While Scarl, Luna, and Flare were staring at each other, speechless, a voice came from behind.

    “As expected! I believed in you!”

    Luna and Flare, who had forgotten about her existence, turned their heads to Io.

    “Um, Scarl?”

    “Professor?”
