I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

At the scene, I took a deep breath and stared at the Devil before me.

‘Phew…’

The unpleasant energy it emitted pricked my skin.
It definitely felt like a level higher than the creatures we had faced before.

During the battle with the Devil Tree, I had borrowed the power of the Sword Emperor, so it couldn’t be considered our own strength.

‘This time, we’ll finish it with our own hands.’

Of course, I had the insurance of calling Director Lina if things got really out of hand, but that wasn’t something I wanted to use here.

‘I’ll save it for when that impossible Devil appears, which we can’t defeat in one try.’

I steeled myself.

Yes, from now on, countless creatures like this would appear.
If we were defeated here, not only would we fail to save the world, but we’d be swept away by the currents of change without being able to respond properly.

‘Focus.’

I sharpened my senses.

-What the hell… What is that…?

-Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy!!!

-Can something like that actually exist…?

The whole world held its breath as the Devil’s appearance was revealed to the public for the first time.

The people’s reactions were a mix of horror, shock, and disbelief.
It couldn’t be helped.

The actual form of the Devil was far more terrifying than the monsters people had encountered or imagined.

The Devil on the screen was beyond imagination.

The ominous black aura swirling around it.
The sticky yellow liquid dripping from its body, melting the weeds and emitting white smoke.
The disgusting, overgrown black tentacles.
The indescribably grotesque faces of various monsters.
And its enormous size.

It was like something straight out of a nightmare.

-So, from now on, these things will… appear from the gates?

-Shit, I’m a veteran Hunter, but my legs went weak just from seeing it.

-How the hell do we defeat something like this…?

Even before witnessing the Devil’s power, the people felt fear due to its overwhelming appearance.
And this fear soon turned into concern for the heroes, Utopia, who were currently facing the monster.

-Isn’t Utopia in danger too…?

-What the hell are they thinking…?

-Call the Mage Emperor! Call the Sword Emperor! Yuha is in danger!!!

The last time the public saw Utopia’s strength was during the monster extermination mission in the US.
Since then, they hadn’t demonstrated their power in front of the public, so people’s perceptions were stuck at that point.

Therefore, the monster dripping viscous liquid in front of them seemed too dangerous for Utopia to handle.

‘This is a Devil…’

Shin Se-hee also broke out in a cold sweat.

Although she had been filming the whole time,
When she actually witnessed the existence of a Devil, she couldn’t help but feel tense.

A different breed.
She instinctively felt that if creatures like this roamed freely outside the gates, the world’s destruction was only a matter of time.

She gulped and turned to look at Jin Yuha.
Then, she suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.

‘What… is this?’

The source of this unease was easy to identify.
After seeing the Devil, the instinctive fear she felt disappeared as soon as she turned her gaze to Jin Yuha.

The other party members seemed to feel the same, as they all looked at Jin Yuha’s back with strange expressions.

‘And today, Jin Yuha seems a bit different from usual…’

His eyes were calm, his arms relaxed, and his hand lightly rested on the hilt of his sword.
Despite his seemingly vulnerable posture, a keen aura emanated from him.

‘What’s different about him…?’

Shin Se-hee narrowed her eyes and focused all her attention on Jin Yuha’s movements.

“Formation C!”

With Jin Yuha’s command, the Utopia party members spread out.

Ta-at!

And in the center, Jin Yuha lightly leaped into the air.

Hweely!

And as if waiting for him, the Devil’s tentacles wriggled and shot towards Jin Yuha at an incredible speed.

Yay!!!

“Jin Yuha! Danger!!!”

Shin Se-hee’s eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but exclaim.

At that moment,

Crack!

The tentacle, which had been shooting towards Jin Yuha like a bullet, was sliced into pieces by a sword swung at an indiscernible speed.

Kugugugu!

The severed tentacle fell to the ground, kicking up dust.

“Kiiieee!!!!”

The Devil let out a painful scream, spewing out black, contaminated blood.

And so, the hunt for the Devil began.

.

.

.

-What the hell is this…?

-No, he’s too strong, haha!

-What’s up with this Devil?

-Haha, it’s just standing there getting slashed, haha!

Contrary to the initial tension, the battle was completely one-sided.

Crack!

Jin Yuha swung his sword again, slicing off a chunk of the Devil’s body.

His movements were not flashy at all; rather, they were almost carelessly light.

Despite this, every time Jin Yuha’s sword struck, the Devil let out a painful scream.

The Devil then unleashed its Demonic Magic, launching various attacks at Jin Yuha, but he was already gone from that spot.

-Haha, Jin Yuha’s sword is so easy to wield!

-he’s strong, but he’s not even gripping the sword tightly!

-What’s up with this Devil? It was acting like a final boss a moment ago, and now it’s just getting sliced up, haha!

However, it didn’t seem like the enemy was weak. The other Utopia party members were also fighting alongside Jin Yuha.

“Haaaaaap!”

Kang Do-hee’s fist clashed with the Ogre’s, creating a deafening sound and causing cracks in the ground.

“Eek!”

Yoo Ri-ri firmly planted her feet and raised her shield, blocking deadly attacks aimed at the party members.

Shhhhhhhh!

Sophia performed acrobatic flips in the air, firing a barrage of arrows.

Silver arrows curved like snakes, piercing the Devil’s weak points, while golden arrows landed on the backs of the party members.

“Hyaaaaat!”

Lim Ga-eul wrapped the Devil’s body with mana threads, using aerial maneuvers and slowing and accelerating at the right moments to control the tempo of the battle.

Ichika summoned shadows to take devastating attacks for the party members or to create platforms, expanding their space.

The party members moved like one body, their flawless teamwork showcasing why Utopia held the top spot.

-These guys are crazy! When did Utopia get this strong?

-Yeah, they’re definitely facing a tough enemy.

Amidst the dazzling and flashy exchanges, the viewers’ eyes were inevitably drawn to one person.

Jin Yuha.

He charged straight at the Devil and swung his sword.

Crack!

Another monster’s head flew off with ease, as if Jin Yuha was invisible right in front of it.

-Huh?

-Huh?

-Huh?

-What the hell, is this Devil crazy? It can’t even see Jin Yuha right in front of it?

‘Coincidence…?’

Shin Se-hee couldn’t help but laugh at the thought.

‘No, that can’t be it.’

However, it was hard to think otherwise, as Jin Yuha’s approach and attacks seemed so careless.

It wasn’t an illusion or some trick.

He simply struck at the right moments when the party members were drawing the Devil’s attention, making it seem like the Devil was foolish to the viewers.

‘Let’s try seeing from the Devil’s perspective…’

By now, the initial worries had completely vanished.

Shin Se-hee smiled and thought to herself. Her fingers deftly controlled the drone, zooming in on the Devil’s point of view.

The viewers were shocked, and goosebumps ran down Shin Se-hee’s body.

-Wow…

-What is this?

-Where’s Jin Yuha?

-He can’t even see him!

-He’s just standing there, and the Devil’s limbs are flying off, haha!

-His timing is perfect, just charging straight at it!

-He’s in a blind spot, that’s why!

At a moment when no one noticed, the Devil’s body seemed to split apart. From the Devil’s perspective, Jin Yuha was invisible.

If it weren’t for the dedicated camera on Jin Yuha, the viewers might have forgotten that he was even there, so quiet was his strike.

Yet, each strike was critical, and it was clear that Jin Yuha’s sword was also protecting the party members.

Boom!

She deflected attacks aimed at the party members with precision, creating openings in the deadly onslaught.

[Yoo Ri-ri, three steps forward and shield at a 45-degree angle. Provoke in 4 seconds. Ichika, create a shadow behind Kang Do-hee. Sophia, no need to shoot healing arrows.]

While giving these instructions, Shin Se-hee’s nimble fingers controlled the drone, capturing every moment for the broadcast.

-Jin Yuha, this guy’s crazy…

-What’s going on here…

And finally,

Utopia defeated the Devil.

It only took 30 minutes to take down one Devil.

Not a single member of the Utopia party was injured.
