Gilbertan’s halberd flies towards the teacher’s body.

The weapon contains magical power, so if you take it as is, it will be split in two like firewood.

Master knows this too, so he never takes his attacks head-on and just passes them off smoothly.

Kaga River!

A heavy halberd slides along Estherk’s blade.

If you spill it, the weapon will not be damaged.

No matter how much magical power it contains, if you hit it with a point where the edge does not stand, it will only be a stronger blunt weapon.

Magic only plays a role in maximizing the sharpness of a weapon, but if you put magic into a club, it will only become an extremely strong club, but not a sword.

‘Of course, if you catch a club filled with magical power, your head will explode, but that’s the same thing.’

That’s why knights also spend a lot of money on maintaining their weapons.

Technicians conduct experiments to create better weapons and make requests to adventurers to obtain the necessary materials.

In the end, even if you have magical power, you must have technology and weapons to support it to be effective.

This guy may have a good weapon, but he is inferior to his teacher in technique.

Boom-boom-boom!

Gilbertan’s halberd comes swinging as if to kill us.

In particular, perhaps because they didn’t like the previous conversation, they mainly aim for the teacher, but they can’t cut anything and just keep creating an unpleasant wind.

“If you can’t get it right, it’s useless no matter how much magic power you have.”

“Eeeet!”

The guy seemed to be angry at the teacher’s provocation and started firing his halberd in all directions.

The walls on all sides are broken and fragments are sticking out.

The halberd, filled with magical power, became a blunt object and ruthlessly smashed everything, raising dust.

Although the dust soon settled, the quiet space that had retained its antiquity now looked like a ruin worthy of the name.

“Even though I use it like that, I can’t use up all my magic power.”

“This is because I just ignorantly stored the magical energy in my body and couldn’t use it. I’ve never used that much magical power before, so I don’t know how to use it efficiently. You can think of it as simply holding a somewhat stronger weapon.”

“Then isn’t it no different from a troll?”

“Hehe. That’s a good analogy.”

“Shut up!”

As Master and Peria spoke a few words at a time, the guy’s blood pressure seemed to rise. I can feel the blood pressure level in my voice.

It sure looks like he’s very strong just by looking at the amount of magical power, but I felt like he wasn’t using it properly.

You have to activate your magical energy to every corner of your body and fight the opponent based on that body, but your current opponent only contains magical energy in their weapons, so the rate at which it is consumed is slow.

The power to cut down an enemy is ultimately muscle.

If you do not strengthen your body by flowing magical energy to all parts of your body, your power will not increase significantly.

“Gasp, gasp, gasp.”

Before he knew it, he was out of breath and exhausted.

Unable to control his anger, he swung that big halberd in all directions and chased after his already fast teacher, so it was natural for a demon with average physical strength, even a demon warrior, to get tired.

On the other hand, Master said that he used to control energy, but now he can’t even control energy, but unlike Gilbertan, he was just a little out of breath and his face was a little red.

“It feels refreshing to move my body a lot for the first time in a while.”

“Isn’t our physical strength almost the same because we are both soul sick? Why are you still sober?”

The problem is that even though I am a bit tired, Master is very fresh compared to me.

“That’s because you don’t move your body efficiently. And isn’t our student wielding a great sword? There is bound to be a difference.”

“That’s true, though.”

Anyway, it doesn’t make sense that I had so much stamina left after fighting 9 other demons alone.

‘It’s clearly a body made of the same material.’

“Ugh…ahhh!”

“Huh?”

“Oh my.”

Suddenly, it seemed like the magic power contained in that halberd had grown tremendously, and it had increased tremendously starting with the ax blade.

And in that state, the guy swung his weapon wide, and sword energy made purely of magical power flew out, destroying all around.

“Crazy!”

“Aaagh!”

“This is…!”

Along with our screams, the sword energy swung continuously covers the hallway with cotton.

Kwagwagwagwak!

There were so many swords flying in the empty space that it was difficult to avoid the entire hallway, so I had no choice but to take out my great sword and magic sword to block them. Master twisted his body to dodge, but in the end, he was unable to dodge them all and one of his arms was cut off.

“Oh, hey again?!”

Suddenly-

Peria died, of course.

“Hehe….Hahahaha! It’s ugly! How do you feel? This overwhelming appearance!”

“You’re being condescending with something that isn’t even magical power.”

“Hmm… It’s a little difficult.”

I don’t like the smile on the guy’s face when he checks our damage.

Can not help it. Since the Master cannot control magic power, he cannot inflict fatal wounds on the man’s armor wrapped in magic power.

I wondered if I should hand over the magic sword to my teacher, but there was no time because the guy was only targeting my teacher.

‘Did you use your brain?’

Although it may seem like he acted out of anger, he may have actually fought with that in mind. Rather than those with lethal weapons, priority was given to those who were most dangerous when holding a weapon.

In reality, it seemed like the sword energy was randomly sprayed in all directions, but a few of them were bent in the middle and most of them flew in the direction where the teacher was.

Still, the guy must have just consumed most of the magic power with that large amount of sword power, so the magic power in the armor has disappeared, and only the end of the halberd is glowing with dark red magic power.

“Irim. I’m sorry.”

The Master is leaning against the wall, holding his severed arm. One leg was hanging limp, as if it had been cut.

Because it is a soul-sick body, there will be no bleeding, but the pain will be severe.

It was difficult to expect him to fight in this condition.

“What, thank you for your hard work.”

“Are they just small children now?”

“No, there are really too many dirty words. Aren’t you out of breath?”

Hold the estark that the teacher dropped in your right hand and hold the magic sword in reverse with your left hand.

“Ugh…”

Peria starts to revive again and sends it behind me. This guy was interested in Peria.

“Now that I think about it, that woman is a bit surprising. Even if you die, your soul does not leave but continues to be resurrected.”

“What, man, is this your first time seeing a soul bottle?”

“Don’t try to deceive me. I know that the woman there is not ordinary. It looks like there’s a curse on it, right?”

After Peria died a few times, he got caught by this guy.

thud!

Gilbertan suddenly stamped his foot.

“That’s right! I got a good idea.”

‘What is happening all of a sudden?’

“If I tie you up instead of killing you and keep killing that woman, my power will become stronger, little by little.”

“What?”

This guy set his sights on Peria.

“It looks like a human, but it is clear that it is a demon with demonic blood. The devil’s magic exists in your body. Then, if I keep killing you when you resurrect, I will be able to accumulate tremendous power over time. Very good.”

“Is it bad?”

It’s really bad.

Actually, there is no way to neutralize soul disease.

In fact, this happened in the past in a fight with another race, but instead of killing us, there were guys who kidnapped us and tied us up to prevent us from being resurrected.

Fortunately, they quickly noticed this and concentrated their attack on the place where the prisoners were managed, and escaped by working together with other spirit soldiers captured inside, but they only succeeded because they were greedy and captured too many soul soldiers. It changes.

Also, one time, a person with a soul disease who had disappeared for a very long time was suddenly resurrected, and for several months after disappearing, they continued to torture and restore him to study the spirit disease, and eventually, there was a person who went crazy.

As Gilbertan said, if he ties up Master and me and continues to plan to kill Peria, it will be a big problem.

I haven’t even told anyone else how I got here. We haven’t even told Ennin yet, so he’ll never know exactly where we are.

“… I suddenly felt a sense of responsibility.”

Peria’s teacher from Power Foreign Language High School is also injured. His trusty greatsword was broken, and the only weapons he had on his body were the ones he wore.

‘It became a bit burdensome. I’m feeling sick, damn it.’

I was planning to go into battle, thinking that I would be completely annihilated and come back. But if that guy has those thoughts, the only way to prevent that from happening is to kill him here.

‘I can’t. All you have to do is win. If you win.’

The demon and I confront each other, assessing each other’s physical condition.

“Now it’s time to end it. It will be fun in the future.”

“Okay. If you say that and I give in, you’ll be in big trouble.”

He is already dreaming up a grand plan and is confident of victory.

There is no way to get it out of here. Use your brain to ensure victory.

‘Should I somehow damage the halberd with the magic sword and then compete with Astork?’

The situation is difficult. Although it used most of its magic power, the halberd still contains magic power and is a threat.

I don’t have the confidence to avoid it by running around like my teacher.

If you get an escutcheon, the sword will definitely break, and in that case, you will have to block the halberd with this dagger-sized magic sword, but that may be difficult.

‘What should I do?’

The moment my thoughts could not take root, Gilbertan came in holding a halberd.

Phew-

As I turn, the tip of the spear digs into my side.

I point the magic sword at his neck, but the guy immediately twists his body and falls out.

‘He’s more careful with the magic sword than Estherk.’

He now fully understands the existence of the magic sword.

The halberd swings horizontally again.

Aim for the waist and avoid the flying blade by lying down and sliding your legs back.

Using the recoil of the arm that is on the ground, bounce up and aim for the arm joint with the escuttle.

But the attack failed.

Sigh!

Gilbertan catches Estherc’s flying blade with his gauntlet.

“Let’s take one first.”

It appears that he is trying to break the escutcheon by pressing it against the center of the halberd.

“So!”

I quickly let go of Estarke and kicked him in the head with a military boot with a piece of iron embedded in it, causing him to miss the halberd and fall.

As the helmet spins, the guy whose vision is blocked gives up on escuttling and quickly takes off the helmet.

The eyes are red, perhaps due to the Demon King’s magic power.

‘Ugh, that’s gross.’

It has 6 eyes like that. It looks closer to a human than the demonic mercenaries I saw before, but since it has six eyes, it still doesn’t feel like a human.

“Kaaa!”

The guy whose helmet came off screams and throws his fists.

Bah!

“Ugh!”

He is hit in the chin by a fist wearing a gauntlet flying from the right, but he holds on by clenching his molars.

As soon as I saw the fist, I put a lot of force into my neck to defend myself, which prevented my neck from turning completely and breaking.

He lost his halberd and I lost my esterk.

But I still have the magic sword left.

The guy must have had a spare weapon as well, so he took out a crude dagger from his waist.

As the number of weapons decreased, the distance between them also decreased.

First, bring out the magic sword.

The guy seems to have injected the last of his magic into the dagger and strikes back.

A dagger flying towards the shoulder.

‘The direction of force is straight. What you should aim for is that interruption.’

I hit the guy’s arm joint hard enough to force his arm to fold, and the dagger went out of the way.

From that, an attack and defense with short attack intervals began.

Kang- Kang- Card Deuk- Chang-

The dagger and magic sword dance.

I’m so focused that I wonder if I’m even breathing.

‘Dodge shallowly, and go to the empty area to the right.’

Kang!

He dodges the flying blade right in front of him and blocks my sword aimed at his temple by retrieving his dagger.

I might have forgotten how to breathe.

Rather than that, I pay attention to the movement of the dagger in front of me and how the guy’s arm begins to bend.

‘Concentrate a little more.’

In my field of vision, I can only see from his dagger to his shoulder.

Movement begins to appear very slowly.

Starting from the shoulder, the joints of the arm move in detail and transmit force toward the fingertips.

‘This must be right.’

The movement of the guy who quickly approaches and stabs various parts of the body, retrieves the dagger, and prepares for the next attack.

Looking at it, I can see inefficient parts.

Just as I was moaning in pain, I immediately thought of the next move.

‘It just returns the movement.’

If so, try imitating his attack.

He strikes the opponent’s chin with his elbow, throws the dagger away with his arm guard, then stabs the opponent several times with his magic sword and retreats.

They shake each other’s center of gravity by shaking their arms, aim for their knees, and wrap the incoming dagger around with their magic sword, turning it a few times before pushing it away again.

As time goes by, parts that seem to require unnecessary force are corrected and returned.

As we imitate his movements, we begin to become equal.

I take a breath and swing my sword

Exhale and avoid the attack.

Take three breaths first for one attack.

Hold back one breath for defense.

All for future attacks.

Everything is coming together to build that foundation.

‘You have to fake it as much as possible until the last moment.’

Bluffing is natural.

That’s why they hide bluffs within bluffs.

Whirly lick-

Rotate the magic sword in your hand until it disappears from the opponent’s field of vision.

Six eyes follow the magic sword closely to determine whether I should hold it backwards or attack it straight away, but it does not show it until right before it attacks, either blocking the view with its outstretched arm or pulling my arm and hiding the magic sword inside.

As I get more leisure time, my mind becomes more and more calm.

The speed of the attack gradually increases in inverse proportion to the calmness of the mind.

He reverses the grip to cut his arm and retrieves the dagger. Sometimes, if the attack comes to an area where a stab wound would not cause much harm, he allows it and inflicts a bigger wound instead.

The swords emit a breath of flame along with the sound of iron.

The small dragons made of iron in their hands rush towards the vital point to bite each other to death.

Every time the magical sword and dagger collide, the magical energy bounces up in a spark-like shape, as if it is slightly broken.

The red magic power that he has squeezed to its limit and the magic power that makes up my magic sword are dissipating little by little.

Even those sparks are used as blind spots in the field of vision and they continue to attack and attack each other.

‘do.’

Both of us were exhausted, but as time passed, my magic sword finally began to enter the critical parts of his body.

Although he started off by being stabbed several times, there are now a similar number of holes in his body as there are in my body.

I’m starting to get ahead of him.

‘Leg joints, arm joints, wrists, shoulder blades.’

A normal person would have already died of blood loss, but this guy does not collapse even after receiving many wounds.

Horsepower is really convenient.

If even an artery is cut, one would die suddenly from bleeding, but magical power assists the cut blood vessel and even serves to temporarily support the passage through which blood flows.

Of course, the magic power drains more rapidly.

I was stabbed in a few places, but I escaped fatal injuries.

‘I don’t mind giving a little more. Let’s think that it’s just the heart and head.’

It’s the same as the guy. I also don’t have much trouble moving.

It is a soul-sick body that does not even shed blood.

There is no such thing as death from excessive bleeding.

If you can move in the first place, the role of the soul bottle is to somehow stab the opponent until the body stops completely.

If he blocks the blood vessels that were cut with magic, I use my convenient body, which was built from the beginning for fighting, as a shield.

So the only way for both is to continue attacking until the other is completely defeated.

I will fight until all of his magic power is used up and he will completely rip my limbs apart until I am unable to move.

The person who makes the best move wins.

Afterwards, while the battle continued

Sigh-

With a simple movement, I once again swing my magic sword at the guy and prepare for his attack.

But the dagger doesn’t fly.

Feeling puzzled, I look at the place where I attacked.

A demon’s neck cut cleanly in a straight line.

It was a quick attack because there was an opportunity. And that part appears to have been the neck.

Black blood began to ooze out of the guy’s neck.

Clink-

The weapon falls to the floor and makes a sound.

The guy who got stabbed in the neck puts down the dagger and covers his own neck.

“Qu…ugh…”

A black puddle begins to form under the body of the guy who falls down with a slight groan.

The guy who talked a lot collapsed at some point without even leaving a last word.

won

I don’t know how much time passed, but I beat him.

When I looked around, I saw Master looking at me intently and Peria with her mouth open.

“Wow… wow… I won. Did you win?”

“ won. It was amazing…”

“Then I’m glad, oh, damn it.”

“Don’t move, just stay there.”

As I was about to fall down, probably because I had been stabbed quite a few times in the thigh, Peria came over and supported my body.

Maybe it’s because she became Fe/Lia earlier, but her clothes are missing in the middle, and her smooth stomach and navel are visible in the middle, making her look cold.

Peria supported my body in that state and glanced at the fallen guy.

“Because you never know.”

Peria takes out a dagger with a blade that extends back and forth and throws it straight at the neck that the guy’s hand is covering.

The dagger deftly slipped between his fingers and entered his throat.

“… He’s definitely dead, right?”

“If you go that deep, there’s no way you won’t die.”

“I guess so, right?”

The guy was completely dead.

“I’ll go check with the others just in case.”

Peria helps me sit down next to Master and goes to check on the other Demon Warriors.

I wonder if people with strong pride would pretend to be dead, but you never know.

Master started stroking my head as I couldn’t move.

“Good job.”

“I think so too.”

“Hehe. It would be better if you just knew how to be humble.”

“In times like this, I think it’s okay to show off a little. Ah, this is coming in.”

When I take out the artifact, which has suddenly returned to the form of a coin, red magic particles gather from the dead guy’s body and flow into my hand.

It seems that the remaining magical energy is being absorbed along with the soul. When I changed the shape of the bowl, it became quite large.

“I don’t know if it’s the devil’s magic power or something, but I can feel that it’s quite thick.”

“It seems to be well-refined and stored magical power.”

“It will be the biggest harvest of today.”

As I took all the breath I had lost from fighting and took it all into my lungs, fatigue began to set in rapidly.

Would “ go further back? A place where there is a succubus.”

“I don’t know the way out, so I guess I’ll have to do that… I’m a succubus and all, so I need to get some rest first.”

“I agree.”

At the end of that conversation, we leaned against each other and relaxed.

The corpses of 19 Demon Warriors scattered everywhere.

The three of them eventually captured a platoon of regular soldiers.
