“So, the demon energy of one demon turned the mountain into a wasteland?”

“Of course! They said that the gangshi who had been patrolling near the mountain range all night saw it clearly with their own eyes!”

Following Wolyoung, who brought breaking news, Lian came out of the underground cave and climbed the mountain.

Because Wolyoung knew the geography of the nearby mountain, the two were able to climb to the top in just 10 minutes.

Although the altitude is not high, the mountain is open enough to clearly see the surrounding area.

There, Ryan witnessed a scene that could not be expressed in words.

‘It was made like this with only magical power, not force…’ ?’

The fields and mountains had turned into wastelands, and the rivers had dried up.

Animals became shriveled corpses, and birds flying in the sky were no exception.

Thousands of corpses falling over the barren land where no living thing can survive.

The condition was so bad that it could literally be called a land of death.

“This is a really serious situation. If we leave it like this, the entire eastern country may become a wasteland. If that happens… … .”

“It will be a land where no living thing can live except for demons.”

The people of the Eastern countries will abandon their ruined lands and leave for the Western Continent.

What would you hope for in a land where you cannot obtain food or other supplies necessary for survival?

In the end, the Eastern countries will be naturally abandoned and the continent will be swallowed up by demons.

If we expand our territory to the eastern countries following the Demon Territory, the western continent will also be exposed to danger.

There was no problem as long as the southern part was on guard, but from now on, we must be on guard in all directions and be on alert every day.

‘The Western Continent will become crowded with refugees from Eastern countries and security problems will arise on a large scale, right?’

Forces that cannot come together are just a ragtag bunch.

I could clearly see a future where I would be easily defeated by the demons who were united around the demon king.

“No matter what happens, we have to stop it. Do you know where the demons are currently located?”

“Wouldn’t you know that without having to look for it?”

“That’s right.”

The land that had been turned barren by the demonic energy continued in a straight line.

In places where the magic energy’s aftermath did not reach, the ground still remained green.

The point is that the demons do not take a detour and only go straight ahead, so if you follow them, you will be able to find them along with the demons.

“Still, according to the news from Gangsi, which is monitoring the movement, there was a collision with a human one hour ago.”

“Has there already been a victim? !”

“As he said, all the humans who fought against him were annihilated. It is said that the demons are still moving towards the royal capital!”

“Phew… ! I have to catch up before it’s too late.”

“Wait a minute! The enemy is a huge powerhouse! It is reckless to fight blindly without any countermeasures or plans!”

“There is no need to worry about that. Our job is to evacuate the residents.”

“Aren’t you fighting?”

“You can fight demons… No, there are people who might already be fighting.”

A strong person cannot use his or her limbs and is a transcendent person who far surpasses human limitations.

Lian was convinced that if he were a teacher, he would voluntarily fight against demons.

Until I heard Scathach’s words.

[Um, the owner over there?]

“What’s wrong?”

[Do you remember how Sephira followed her master’s teacher not long ago?]

“Of course I remember. You left saying you would help catch the earth dragon.”

[That’s because Sephira and I have a covenant, so we can know each other’s locations.]

“So?”

[Sephira has now moved to the western continent. I guess they thought that Earthyong fled from the eastern country to the western continent.]

“Wait a minute, that doesn’t mean even a teacher… ?”

[I think it is highly likely that they went over to the West Continent together.]

Lian slapped his forehead with his palm and pressed down on his temple.

I alleviated the headache by applying acupressure to the head that had started to tingle.

Lian couldn’t rest comfortably as another incident occurred following the dragon’s rampage.

This time, I tried to go comfortably thanks to my teacher, but it wasn’t smooth sailing.

“Do you know what happens to those who were defeated by demons?”

“About twenty experts and over a thousand troops. It was said that the soldiers were massacred without being able to do anything, and the experts were unable to even cause minor injuries.”

“What is the specific level?”

“Three extreme climaxes, the rest are climaxes!”

“It is said that even though it is a power that is not easily found in Eastern countries, it was not able to cause any damage… … under! Haha!”

Lian, who was gauging the strength of the demons through the report, suddenly started laughing out loud.

When the hand that was pressing her temple went down, Lian’s eyes, which had been wide, turned bright.

“Ahaha! okay! Sometimes you need this kind of stimulation!”

“Why, why are you doing that?”

“Why are you doing that? Because I’m excited right now! You said earlier that you need to come up with a plan or plan, right?”

“There is no benefit to fighting blindly.”

“I completely agree. But sometimes it’s more fun to clear your head and fight!”

“Are you saying you’re going to fight without making a plan?”

Rian turned back with his arms spread out and looked at Wolyoung.

He was still smiling brightly.

“Correct answer!”

While answering Wolyoung’s question, Rian fell down the cliff.

It was a steep cliff, but he landed lightly on the ground and ran straight toward the direction of the demon.

The teacher and the disciple. Rian was just as passionate about battle as the Sword Emperor.

The difference between the two is that unlike his teacher, who happily fights with anyone, he was not interested in opponents weaker than himself.

‘This time I feel it… !’

However, the demons who destroyed the faction of strong people without any injuries were different.

It was enough to pique Rian’s interest, making it difficult for him to maintain his composure.

In the end, I couldn’t control my excitement and my body started moving.

It’s so bad that while running, he ignores the hand of a woman who tried to grab him and passes by.

[what… ? master?]

“Why? Are you anxious?”

[That’s not it, just now… … .]

“Just now?”

[Oh, it’s nothing.]

“What, it’s bland.”

Scathach noticed, but stopped mentioning it midway.

I decided that there was no need to break the pain.

In the end, the woman who failed to catch Lian was left alone on the spot, staring blankly at the path he had left.

“… … Heeing.”

***

“It’s boring.”

Even after easily defeating the Baekmun family, Therion continued to triumph and trample on the human lands.

As flames raged in the once peaceful village, people continued to scream.

There were many experts who came to fight against the disaster, but they were no match for Therion.

“But it wasn’t bad.”

There was no harvest.

A drop of blood flowing from Therion’s fingertips.

They achieved better results than the Baekmun family, which fell without causing any harm.

However, the ending of death could not be changed.

“If the humans I met at first had just gotten rid of their vanity, they could have had a pretty good match.”

Therion was saddened as he looked at the corpses lying pitifully.

There is an enlightenment that cannot be achieved through training alone.

Based on his experiences fighting powerful enemies, Therion was inspired and wanted to become stronger.

However, there was no one anywhere that could compete with him.

‘If you are the owner of that sword… … .’

An unknown sword that rejected his offer and completely ignored it.

If I had followed the sword that was looking for its owner, I might have been able to meet it.

It was crazy to think that he would have had a good fight since he must have great skills as he could wield a powerful sword.

‘But as a demon, the demon king’s honor takes precedence over personal desires.’

Therion crushed the corpses around him with his weapon to get rid of his distracting thoughts.

That time when I felt relieved when I saw the body that had disappeared without any form left.

A figure that sent shivers down his spine approached him from behind.

“Inhale!”

Cheaeng!

Therion’s great sword, which swung backwards in the nick of time, collided with someone’s sword.

Even though I successfully blocked it, I could never ignore the vibration that was flowing through my hand and into my arm.

‘… … ‘It’s quite strong!’

Therion was able to gauge his opponent’s skill with just one hit, without even looking at him.

He quickly decided that it was an unusual enemy and swung other weapons at the position where the sword and great sword were facing each other.

however… … .

‘It doesn’t taste good.’

The weapons were only cutting through thin air.

Although it feels alive, there is no sign of it at all.

The moment Therion turned his head, thinking he couldn’t confirm it unless he saw it with his own eyes.

“Kuh?!”

Sigh-!

As if he had been waiting, the slash cut across both of Therion’s eyes.

Therion also let out a brief groan as blood poured out of his eyes, which were weaker than his skin.

Either way, the attack by a surprise attack from behind continued.

Take advantage of the fact that as you lose your eyesight, you cannot accurately determine your location.

Therion’s back was cut into several pieces.

For a moment, after suffering from the never-ending pain, a small gap opened up on Therion’s forehead.

There was a healthy eyeball inside the crack, so Therion, who finally saw Lian’s appearance, dexterously swung his weapons.

Although Lian skillfully countered all weapons, he was slightly pushed back because he did not have six arms like Therion.

In the end, Rian slightly opened the distance by kicking Therion’s back.

“Finally, a suitable match has appeared.”

“You have an unpleasantly dense level of demonic energy, six arms, and even the ability to regenerate?”

Even though it was cut in half, Therion’s eyeball had already returned to its intact state.

This means that it has quite excellent regenerative abilities.

It was bound to be a difficult opponent for Rian.

“Very good! It’s been a while since I felt like fighting!”

“Fight with all your heart, human. Otherwise, I will trample on you too.”

The battle between the Demon’s Hidden Card and the Sword Saint has begun in earnest.
