97. Bravado

The enemy’s reinforcements that Iris was worried about, and the surprise attack from the rear of the reinforcements.

It’s very likely, it will definitely happen.

Twin demons and fragments of demons encountered in the previous city.

Because I faced them, Iris and I, at least Master.

I was afraid that those same guys would attack me from behind.

In preparation for that, it was helpful to thoroughly hide its existence.

Even though I can’t do ‘damage’ to the fragments of the Demon God.

Everything else but its existence is enough to split in two.

Neither I nor Master can deal with anything other than demon fragments.

“… Why didn’t you speed up more?”

As I was in the middle of performing light-gongsul, Master, who was flying right in front of me, asked me that.

Did you notice that I deliberately slowed down and did not overtake you?

At Master’s question, I opened my mouth to say, “Isn’t it obvious?”

“As always taught, I am conserving my strength in moderation.”

“… Is that really all there is to it?”

“Need another reason?”

“Isn’t it too slow to save power? I wonder if I don’t know your level of light martial arts.”

Master must have already noticed the reason.

A disciple who follows only behind, in case it would be rude to outrun the teacher.

Then, whenever a dangerous entity appears, it can be blocked right in front.

“This is why I hate you even though I like you.”

As if I already knew what you were thinking.

Master said that and turned his head forward.

Then, he lightly rolled his feet and landed on the ground.

“… You are coming in front of me.”

As you said, a black cloud was gathering in front of you.

At that speed, you’ll probably arrive when the battle for the capital is in full swing.

And my disciples, the world’s champions, will suddenly be attacked from behind.

Master, who was quietly observing the dark clouds, puts on the handle of his sword.

Master’s own habit that he shows when he meets an interesting opponent.

I already felt it, but in those dark clouds, what I was so worried about was hiding.

No matter how strong, no matter how fast, no matter how brilliant.

In the first place, it was designed to be impossible to reach unless you are a ‘hero’.

He’s a guy who’s under absolute rules that no one can break.

He even swung his sword himself, but there was a record of him not even being able to reach it, let alone cut.

It is impossible to defeat that existence unless you are a disciple.

Kurrure….

The sound in my ears sounds like it’s coming from the stomach of a black monster.

All kinds of shady and ugly energy are transmitted to the skin.

My stomach felt disgusting, and it felt like vomiting.

“… Hyuna.”

“Yes, Master.”

“I told you then. A sword can’t reach that guy.”

“I told you so.”

“You’re not the type to joke around. Doesn’t that mean that no matter what I and I do here, there is no way we can do anything about the guy coming from over there?”

“… To be honest, yes.”

“This is the worst.”

At Master’s words, I nodded lightly.

Devil’s Fragment, unmatched in power that only a warrior can deal with.

The devourer of the world, the wildfire that leads to destruction, the being called by various names.

Why did the developer bother to come up with a character with the title of ‘Hero’?

He is the one who has painstakingly imprinted on the users how important that single word is.

Then how about this one?

Master is a character designed as an NPC, and I am someone who did not exist in this world in the first place.

There is an absolute rule, and in the end neither I nor Master can escape from that rule.

As a proof of that, my sword, which even the demons used to tear apart, could not even reach the fragments of the demons.

Can’t be cut, can’t be reached, that’s why it can’t be dealt with.

This side’s attack doesn’t even get eaten, but the other side’s attack comes intact.

Master knows how fatal the difference in that part is.

Even though you say that you can cut or reach because of that.

Isn’t it that you have a hard, hard face that isn’t soft at all?

“But. Hyuna.”

A gentle smile blooms on Master’s lips.

It was such a smile that looked very beautiful and very strong even at the moment of despair.

“Even under such unfavorable conditions, you guys came here. He also brought me to the main seat. Doesn’t that mean that even if you can’t cut it, or even if you can’t deal with it, there’s some other way?”

At that question, I smiled along with Master and nodded his head.

You can’t win against the fragments of the Demon God, you can’t repulse them.

However, it is possible to prevent him from approaching first.

The reason is simple, I am the only one who knows what is not allowed according to the law.

The fragments of demons that are protected by the law do not know him.

If you think that you are a stronger enemy than we can imagine.

Of course, from his point of view, he’d rather take a detour than an all-out war.

Devil worshipers are crazy people who are desperate to die.

Monsters are just monsters with hostility to all living things.

Devil’s Fragment is neither a madman nor a monster, but a being with a clear purpose.

It is to destroy this world and completely return it to nothingness.

However, risking your own existence in an uncertain battle?

It’s possible, but it’s much more likely not.

“I plan to stage an armed demonstration.”

“An armed demonstration? Could it be that this is what I think?”

“Yes. Perhaps what Master thinks is correct.”

Master gave me a puzzled look at my answer.

An armed demonstration, because that word means only one thing in the current situation.

It would be shocking to hear that the Heavenly Demon, who was the supreme leader of Gangho and no one else, would do such a thing.

“Like low-level samurai demonstrating to raise the ransom?”

“Yes. Like those who are really not up to the level of pulling out a sword and have no thought.”

“But it looks very strong, so it’s as if the three of them are at a loss.”

“Exactly.”

“I really didn’t know that I would have to step on my feet to the point of bravado.”

“That’s why I didn’t tell you. There is no need for Master to step forward.”

This is not a fight where you have to slaughter your enemies or fight bloody battles.

All you have to do is make a decent threat and fight a little to pass the time.

It can’t be like this forever in all battles with demon fragments.

Unless they’re idiots, there’s no reason for a strong-looking enemy to do that.

You’ll realize that you don’t have to make motions that seem like they’re wasting time.

But this time, we have to do it this way.

I can’t say that the students’ growth is perfect yet.

Although we have reached the peak, reaching the peak and approaching the peak are different.

It is more important to catch the fragments of the Demon God than to deal with them.

It is extremely dangerous to meet such a being from the front and rear at such a moment.

It’s much more stable than that, and it’s better to process them one by one.

Kirrr….

I let go of the bet I was saving as I watched the dark clouds gradually approaching.

There’s no reason to hide it any more, and there’s no need for it, so I really let it out to my heart’s content.

… Coo goo!!

The twin demons that I collided with the other day, and the fragments of the demon god that took those b*tches with me.

It seems that they were approaching to support the Royal Castle Incident.

Otherwise, I can’t react right away like that to my energy.

I can feel it startled quite loudly and stare right in my direction.

“… It seems to be coming.”

“What will Master do?”

“If you’re going to show off this bravado, two are better than one. And one uncovered and one exposed will work much better than two exposed.”

I don’t even hide my appearance, but I keep my bets hidden.

The will to make the other side of your head more complex and confusing.

I expressed my affirmation to Master’s opinion, which had nothing to do with it.

There is also a way to ignore this side and go to the castle.

But you can’t go with a mighty enemy behind your back.

That was the same for everyone, be it the hero or the hostility.

Geuggh!!-

A sound like scratching the ground is heard in my ears.

I wondered if the dark clouds would dissipate soon after, and then several people appeared right in front of me.

“You bastard!”

“… The man who used the sword.”

The first to appear were the twin demons who had been cut in half by me the other day.

Behind it stood several demon worshipers who looked roughly head-on.

And lastly, the man standing at the back, easily over 2m.

Perhaps that guy is the ‘him’ I’ve been waiting for.

“You… Who is it?”

At first, the voice of an old man and then that of a young man.

After that, it goes through a woman’s voice and ends with a child’s voice.

The man looked at Master for a moment and then started to move forward.

The moment I finally face him properly, my face naturally frowns.

He’s disgusting enough to simply let go of energy.

Even with what he looked like, he was a very dirty guy.

Eyes, nose, mouth, nothing is attached to the right place.

In addition, the face does not exist only on the neck.

One on the shoulder, one on the stomach, one on the thigh, and so on.

As if a sculptor with eccentric tastes made a strange piece.

Or like a little kid destroying all his toys and sticking something else.

Is it like that if you bring a few other people to the shell of a person?

Even a person with a strong stomach would immediately vomit at that sight.

“Isn’t there any reason to answer that?”

Seureung-.

As soon as he drew his sword, the twin demons reflexively moved forward.

I was able to find a strange point in that part.

“… A warrior, no.”

“Can I ask you a favor? I want you to speak with only one voice. Whether old, male, or female. Or a child The desire to answer disappears.”

“A warrior, no.”

My anxiety skyrockets as that damn thing keeps saying “Hero” And “Hero”.

Have you noticed this side’s weakness already?

An unwritten rule that anyone who is not a hero will not receive any damage.

If you know that you cannot break the rules that are rooted in this world, there is no greater disappointment than this.

– … No. –

If you really know, there’s no reason to be behind the twin mines like that.

They would have stepped forward and attacked Master and me.

Thinking that way, I felt that one thing was definitely right.

I don’t know, I don’t know yet.

The fact that this sword can’t reach you.

A fragment of a demon god, a monster that will devour the world. But.

In the end, if you look closely at it, it was created by the developer and has obvious limitations.

By the way, looking at the reaction of the Twin Mine, it seems that the ‘weakness’ is.

It seemed to have it not only on this side, but also on the other side.

Now all that’s left is who’s going to brag louder.

It was about who first got scared and shrank.
