A painting illuminated by the moonlight coming down from the open ceiling.

Black armor similar to that of Demon Warriors, but female-type armor with slightly more luxurious designs engraved on it.

“This is really hard to write.”

A tall woman with long red hair and a great sword slung over her shoulder drops a cubic-shaped cube on the floor.

“Didn’t I say I would use it? The castle collapsed, so if you want to make it work, you have to check for errors first before using it. Thanks to that, all the works were ruined, weren’t they? The ritual is not over yet.”

“Sounds like a work of art. Are you talking as if you’ve done something great by piecing together fallen corpses? Even if you hadn’t intervened, it could have been made more beautiful.”

“That’s because the goals you and I pursue are different. That’s the best way to deal with humans. We’ve finally come this far, so I’d like you to do the rest. Just by looking at it, it looks like the scariest knight is none other than the guy in white armor over there.”

“Noisy. Because I will kill you all even if you don’t tell me.”

Talking to the woman was an old man hunched over and wearing blinding goggles.

It is wearing a robe like a wizard, but looking at the four pointed ears visible on the inside of the robe and the legs that look exactly like those of a goat, it is clear that this is a demon. and-

‘Astesia.’

On the throne in their middle sat Astesia, wrapped in black cloth covered in illegible letters.

In addition, it is completely wrapped in chains, but only its mouth is barely visible.

Hygenic steps forward as conductor.

“Since you’ve come this far, let me ask you out of courtesy. Are you the ones who are the leaders and the ones trying to summon the devil?”

“Didn’t you already know everything? Even though it’s just a courtesy, I was going to answer a question or two as a reward for coming here, but you’re asking something so obvious. That’s right. I’m the commander and this one is shaking. And the guy sitting on the chair over there is a sacrifice. There is no situation more heroic than this for you, right? Do you have any more questions?”

The long-haired woman gathers her hair back and looks at her.

“No, that’s enough. Then let’s move on to the next step. What is your intention to surrender?”

“There is no way.”

“I guess so.”

The conversation doesn’t last long.

Before each other could finish speaking, everyone put their strength into their weapons and prepared for battle.

That is the relationship between demons and humans.

The long-haired demon lifts the great sword with one hand and infuses it with red magic power.

At first glance, it is a great sword that contains so much dark magical power that it is even more intense than that of the knight Vincent.

Hygenic looked at the great sword, concluded formal negotiations, and gave the order for the battle to begin.

“Then that’s the end. All troops, attack!”

When has there ever been a deep conversation between the demons and us?

‘Nothing.’

The conversation we had with Astesia was rather miraculous. That was something out of the ordinary.

And to hope it happens again-

‘It must be extravagant.’

This is a familiar sight to me too. So, give strength to the hand holding the sword.

“Let’s go, Lee Rim.”

“Yes.”

It starts with soul diseases.

Search for enemies.

Master and I jump out first and stab him.

I throw the ax and the teacher digs into the guy faster than the ax.

“Not you, the guy behind him with the knight and gloves.”

The demons greet us without any hesitation.

Suddenly-

Just one swing.

The ax and the teacher are cut into two by the swing of the great sword.

“Oh, it’s still a bit much.”

Still, the teacher must have fallen through the cracks and died with a slight wound on the white hand of the guy who wasn’t wearing a gauntlet.

‘He died on purpose.’

A bait that can be done because it is a soul disease.

Master actually suffered an attack that could have been avoided. He deliberately takes the only great sword and ties the weapon to death as much as possible.

This is originally a strategy to give the knights the best opportunity when there are knights in battle.

Action to block the view as much as possible for the person behind you who can use a more effective attack.

At the same time, it is also an act of handing over information about the other party to the driver.

Even if the price is death, any strategy must be used to win.

I too run forward and do not take my eyes off him.

While Master is divided, I have to create a gap for others by blocking his gaze.

Of course, the woman in front of me seems to know this and doesn’t take her eyes off Vincent and Winnet, who come in sideways, swinging their swords roughly in the direction I’m coming from.

‘It was my goal to make it that way.’

Deeply-

“Ugh!”

Even as his body was cut in two by the great sword, he fell forward and succeeded in thrusting the magic sword into his shoulder. Thanks to my teacher, it was possible to deceive the enemy.

‘You probably didn’t know that my attack would work.’

It was a strategy to let down the opponent’s guard by assuming that he also knew the strategy.

The opponent who was wounded by the magic sword grimaced and raised the great sword upward to push me away, and then made Vincent and Winnet, who were coming in, radiate a large amount of magic power to make them retreat.

“Sheesh! I heard that soul diseases are nothing special, but they’re more bothersome than I thought, right?”

“If you can watch over me for just ten minutes, the ritual will be over!”

My vision was blurring and I could hear the enemies talking.

‘One wound per life?’

I started to worry because there was a time limit.

‘Can this succeed?’

——————————-

He is revived and quickly enters the hall again with his teacher.

“A breakthrough was seen. I don’t know why, but there seems to be a subtle gap between my gaze and my body movement. Lee Lim. I’ll keep pace. So that you go forward.”

“Yes. I understand.”

I quickly revise my strategy to deal with this guy with my teacher.

Advantages of soul sickness.

Losing a fight doesn’t mean it’s over.

The natural principle that defeat for an ordinary person is death is analyzed and attacked in real time with a paradigm that changes the framework of defeat-death-resurrection-return-retry.

“Ugh. These!”

That woman, who may be a shaman or a scientist behind her, is not far away to protect the goat legs.

Master and I usually go out first and cause a disturbance, and then Vincent and Winnette take advantage of the opportunity to engage in brief sword strikes and fist strikes.

Kang! Kakang!

Taking advantage of the opportunity for Vincent and Winnet to enter, the opponent also launches a sharp attack, but is soon blocked by the defense of Thistle, Ennin, and Hygenic standing next to him.

“Presbyopia!”

“Yep!”

Cooung-

Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

The moment someone’s body shakes, Noan steps forward and blocks a great sword filled with magical power with a specially made shield.

Thistle’s sword is a sword given by God, so it blocks attacks directly, and Hygenic also releases magical power only momentarily, preventing the sword from breaking.

Enin does not directly block the great sword with the anvil at a narrow interval, but instead strikes the side blade of the great sword, shaking the balance of the body itself and creating an opening.

The guy started to get more and more angry, probably because it was difficult to deal with so many people at the same time.

“Profit! Annoying flying insect!”

And the magic that momentarily made him the most embarrassed.

At the moment when no one’s gaze is in sight, Peria uses magical power at the very back, and a black card appears in front of the opponent’s eyes, blocking their view.

“Oh, really! Where does it come from?”

Although they are very simple, they are the most disruptive magic in a fight where every moment is important.

Each time the symbol under Peria’s eye flashes, various types of cards fall.

Cards with drawings of playing cards, tarot, and other cultures I knew nothing about were scattered on the ground.

It’s not just cards.

As soon as Peria saw that the guy caught the movement of his subtle magic power at some point and turned his head to avoid it, he took out his dagger and continued to throw it at blind spots to protect us.

It feels amazing that the opponent is desperately trying to stop us from approaching the demons behind us by blocking the cards that are generated irregularly and the attacks that come at us in a way that we cannot avoid.

However, as time passed, I also became less prone to getting cut with a single knife.

‘Is this about the fourth life?’

Kwaang-

‘It was successful.’

When my body, which should have been cut by a huge sword, was blocked by the magic sword, I saw an expression of astonishment in the woman’s eyes.

“I figured out how it was.”

“Ugh! Don’t talk nonsense!”

I tried to keep receiving the great sword without intentionally dodging, and I finally succeeded.

If you run far to avoid the great sword, the opportunity to attack also disappears.

As for me, I don’t have the skills to dodge attacks and counterattack with a narrow margin at close range like my teacher.

In that case, you have no choice but to parry it with the magic sword and counterattack immediately.

The opponent is confused when the soul soldiers that should be dealt with in one attack do not fall.

“These,,, rats!”

Although it is a powerful opponent, it is only one person. Compared to the power it possesses, the technology itself is not sophisticated. Rather, it was sloppy.

It allows attacks from Winnet and Vincent from time to time, but it only withstands it because the armor it is wearing is very good.

The reason we can’t get to the guy in the back is because the red magic spewing out of his armor is threatening.

I don’t know if it’s because we’re constantly consuming it, but it’s starting to look like the bottom is showing.

The opponent, perhaps anxious that a considerable amount of his magic power had been used up, urged the demons behind him.

“Eight. Marcus! Just let it go!”

“Ha, but there’s still some time left!”

“2 minutes, on time, it doesn’t matter! If you don’t, I’ll go back and destroy your entire lab!”

“Ah, I understand, so just stop them!”

Then Goatdari puts the pocket watch he was holding in his arms to measure the time and takes out a glass tube containing a black pill.

Deshade, who had been watching the battle unfold next to Peria, noticed this and spoke loudly.

“That must be stopped.”

“Yes? What?!”

“It is a medicine that accelerates the thickening of blood concentration. If we don’t stop that, there is no future.”

At God’s words, we hurriedly tried to cross the red magic front, but it was not easy.

“No guessing! You are all going to die here!”

As soon as I hear that sound, the momentum of swinging the great sword becomes stronger.

‘What do we do.’

humming-

“Yikes!”

At that moment, as I dodged the great sword and rolled backwards, I saw the sky.

The moonlight coming through the open ceiling is now illuminating the feria.

Moonlight. The only thing I can trust now is Peria’s Nayal.

I look at Peria, who continues to pull out cards and daggers.

“Peria! Stop that somehow!”

“Mo, you can’t stop it! It’s too far away to be possible with magic!”

“Use Nayal! If we can’t stop that, all the materials left in the village will disappear?”

“!!!”

After hearing those words, Peria bit her lip tightly as if she realized that something like that should never happen.

Anyway, if the devil descends and runs rampant, the village and everything else will disappear.

‘You have to use everything you can.’

But even in that situation, Peria thinks until the end.

“Ugh…! But I think I’m going to be charged a lot for this?! The amount varies depending on the situation!”

“Then do you want to see all the ingredients fly away?”

“Well, of course I don’t like that! How did I get it!”

“So, I have to use up all my savings! do it faster! If it’s not enough, I’ll get some from the people here!”

“Ugh… Absolutely!”

It’s not a situation to weigh the pros and cons, so I’ll just make a promise and see.

‘I have to tear it off somehow. It’s 100 gold per head. Surely that’s not worth the money?’

If we lose anyway, we all die here.

Peria takes a step forward and draws up all the magical power within her body.

Blue light bursts from the pattern under the eyes and hair flutters.

Then he looked up at the shining moonlight and shouted.

“Nayal! Fulfill your contract!”

This is the ignition word that summons Nayal, which I heard for the second time.

An arm appeared in the air that seemed to shake the perception again.

“Stop that guy!”
