“I was waiting for it to appear again. If you had made me wait longer, I would have gone there first.”

Kader smiled leisurely, pulled out a huge sword and stuck it in the ground.

“But… There seems to be a reason why it took so long. For a moment, I became noticeably stronger.”

“I see.”

After hearing that story from Kader, I felt that I had become a little stronger.

Although we haven’t even crossed swords yet, we have already gained a lot of confidence.

“If we all attack you, will you run away again?”

“Oh, did it look like I ran away then?”

Kader shrugged and laughed.

“I just gave you time. Because it’s no fun if you sweep away everything trivially.”

Was it something like that?

Well, maybe it was. Because Kader wasn’t supposed to show up here.

But it didn’t really matter now. The enemy in front of you is something that must be defeated.

“First, I will fight alone.”

“Le, Leon. Do you really have to do that?”

“I’m curious.”

I gained a lot of experience through sex.

Although I could feel a small change in movement when dealing with monsters, I wanted to feel the difference when facing a truly powerful enemy.

“If it seems dangerous, I will support you right away.”

“Okay, everyone, get ready.”

I drew my sword and stepped forward.

Then Kader looked at me and smiled as if he was interested.

“What is it? Are you saying you want to fight with me alone?”

“Okay.”

Kader was also smiling, probably because he felt that I would not be his opponent at all, but his stance as he drew his sword was quite serious.

“Going.”

Kader rushed straight towards me.

Although the speed was incredible, my eyes could barely follow the movement, and as soon as I saw him swinging his sword, I also raised my sword and blocked it.

– Kang!

The swords clashed strongly and there was a brief struggle of strength.

It’s definitely strong even now. However, unlike when I faced him before, I felt like I could endure it.

I immediately took a step forward and pushed away Kader’s sword. And he quickly stabbed his sword, aiming for what appeared to be a gap.

– Hook!

I thought I was aiming quickly, but Kader turned his body slightly to avoid my attack, and my body, which I thought was at a perfect angle, ended up being exposed to danger.

“Le, Leon. If that happens… !”

When I heard Ronet’s worried voice, it seemed like other guys would soon intervene, but I quickly bent my sword behind my back and blocked Kader’s attack.

“Qu… .”

However, because my posture was unstable, I was pushed down, and I rolled over once and got up and looked up at Kader, who was leisurely watching me.

Strong, definitely.

“Do you plan to continue doing it alone?”

I think I can still do more.

I put out my hand to block the sound of footsteps that seemed to be about to step forward, and grabbed my sword again.

“Let’s do more.”

And this time, I attacked Kader first.

The sword is swung hard, and Kader blocks it rather leisurely.

However, it wasn’t just one attack, it was a series of attacks, and I watched Kader’s movements as he responded at the same time.

There is enough room to not be surprised if a counterattack occurs at any time. I pushed hard to avoid giving them as much space as possible.

“It’s such a trivial attack.”

And in an instant, strong magical energy came out of Kader’s body, and I was immediately blown away by the explosion-like impact.

Is it too much to do alone?

There is no opportunity to attack at all, but there are plenty of means to counterattack on the other side.

“Goddess Labiatie, grant your power as a power of blessing to destroy evil.”

Arnel was already using magic on me.

My body recovers and I feel stronger.

“Leon, don’t get hit if possible.”

Lucia also cast a curse she had prepared in advance.

A curse that deals double damage and makes you twice as strong. Since I placed this on Kader, if I can land at least one effective hit, the fight will become easier.

“What attribute magic should I use on that monster?”

“Everything is similar, but keep it in check with ice.”

“I understand!”

After casting a spell on Ronet, I stood before Kader again.

“He does interesting things. Okay, this is what I expected.”

I moved right away, and Kader also moved at almost the same time.

– Boom!

As Kader, who had become twice as strong, and I, who had been strengthened by Arnel, faced off, a strong wave occurred around us.

“Is it good? Is that warlock helping me?”

“It can’t be.”

Ice particles gathered on Kader’s body as he faced me. It slowly spread throughout my torso as if my body was freezing, and I immediately widened the distance.

“This is… .”

And as I walked away, the ice exploded, hitting every part of Kader’s body and then disappearing.

“Ugh, it hurts.”

Even if you can block my sword, it will be difficult to avoid the magic.

Immediately afterwards, ice spread on the floor where Kader was stepping, and Kader immediately stepped back.

“Ship, sounds like betrayal. You don’t believe it, do you?”

“Don’t worry. To that extent.”

Due to various magics and Arnel’s strengthening effects, Kader was pushed out at once.

I rushed at him right away so as not to give him any time to waste, and thanks to Lucia and Ronne using magic in sync with my movements, Kader’s eyes were not entirely focused on me.

“Kkeut… !”

Kader, who was trying to avoid the magic, lost some strength in his sword hand and was unable to block the sword I swung, so he missed it and retreated after being hit by my successive slashes.

“Ha… . Ha, oh… .”

But it won’t end like this.

“Did you kill it?”

A powerful energy that had never been felt before began to radiate from the body of Kader, who briefly knelt at Arnel’s words.

“That, that.”

“He looks like the devil.”

Lucia said in a dazed voice.

Just like that, Kader’s appearance changed.

Kader had the appearance of a sturdy female warrior, her skin turned white, two horns grew on her head, and her body grew slightly larger.

A black gauntlet was put on the hand holding the weapon, and the gloves protecting various parts of the body also took on a more sinister appearance.

This was similar to the commonly known appearance of the Demon King. However, it did not mean that Kader was the devil.

“Don’t panic. Let’s keep fighting the same way.”

I spoke calmly and looked at Kader.

The menacing appearance was more shocking than when I first saw it in the game, but I knew how to attack it.

“Lucia, Roné. Please keep using the magic you can use as quickly as possible. Because it’s okay to be weak.”

The two used the most basic magic under my instructions.

Small chunks of magical energy were thrown at random as if it were a game, and these attacks had no effect on Kader.

“What are you doing?”

And I ran straight to Kader.

While running with his sword, Kader almost ignored the annoying magic coming his way and clashed his sword with me again.

– Boom!

Kader’s power has become much stronger than before.

But I could feel it.

Every time a little magic flew into Kader’s body, he felt his strength weaken slightly.

“Chit.”

And just as a fireball touched my body and disappeared, I pushed the sword away and swung wide.

“Ugh… !”

It was easier than I thought to cut Kader’s body with a large cut, and I quickly widened the distance without attacking in succession.

Kader, who briefly fell down on one knee, stood up, radiating strong energy to those around him.

A much stronger impact than before shook the ground and created a strong wind that pushed it away.

If I hadn’t fallen in advance, I would have been blown away again by that force.

“Leon, how do you keep doing the same thing?”

“Let’s do more. Well done.”

I complimented Lucia, who spoke first, and also patted Roné’s back when I had some free time.

And immediately he stood up again and blocked him.

Blood was flowing from the large cut on my abdomen, but that alone did not make me feel like I was winning.

To that extent, Kader stood firm.

“Whaaaa!”

He attacked again in the same way.

This time, the small spells went straight into Kader’s body.

The fireball hit the body, creating a small spark that disappeared, and a piece of ice was stuck, but quickly melted and flowed out. Additionally, a faint streak of lightning passed through Kader’s body and disappeared in an instant.

I have no intention of stopping it.

It seems like they realized that blocking it all at once would be a waste.

Most magic wouldn’t work in that state anyway.

“Arnel, Lucia! Please focus on me!”

“Yes!”

“I understand!”

I changed direction to apply a buff to Arnel and Lucia.

Arnel gave a strengthening blessing as before, and Lucia strengthened the weapon by giving it properties.

A sacred light and burning heat emerged from the sword.

“Rone, attack with as much strength as possible now.”

Before Rone could answer, he drew out magical power and increased the size of the magic he was planning to use even further.

A huge, sharp piece of ice was created in front of Ronet, and I ran straight toward Kader.

A shard of Rone’s ice flew ahead of me, and Kader struck it away with his sword.

Then, the ice shards split and stuck to Kader’s body, and Kader, whose body had begun to freeze, was unable to pay attention to it and had to stop me who quickly ran towards me.

– Chang! -Kang!

The swords clashed twice.

Due to the sword imbued with great power, and due to the small concerns caused by Rone’s magic.

“Hwaap!”

“Ugh!”

Kader allowed me to attack him once again, and when his torso was cut wide again, this time he put his sword in and fell to his knees.

“Ha, ha… As expected, it was too much to deal with everyone… .”

I think I won now.

Kader looked up at me as I approached and smiled weakly.

“Kill.”
