Was it over?
I focused my gaze on the Blood Demon whose head had fallen.
I had cleanly severed his neck, but I didn’t think a true demon would die so easily.
There had to be a hidden trick.
As expected, the severed head easily returned to its original position.Blood gushed from the cut, forming a new head.
Regeneration was a given, I suppose.
The question was the limit of his regenerative ability.
Could a true demon still die even with regeneration if its head was cut off?
After all, there were cases where they wouldn’t die even if vital points like the neck or heart were repeatedly struck.
And unfortunately, it seemed this opponent belonged to the latter category.
No wonder he was so relaxed even with an enemy right in front of him.
That was the reason.
But there was something else I didn’t understand, his attitude.
The Blood Demon had said he gave his power to those who were pitiful.
The war between demons and the continent had been going on for a long time.
At first, I thought he gave his power to them after the demons descended, but listening to his tone, something felt strange.
“You talk as if you’ve been giving out power all along.”
“Of course. I’ve been here from the beginning.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. You guys descended to the continent, right?”
“Hmm? Ah, right. That was the setting, wasn’t it?”
“What?”
“No, it’s nothing. This is an important matter.”
Whatever else, one thing was clear.
He said that on purpose.
If he really didn’t mean to say it, he wouldn’t have reacted that way.
So what did it mean?
Blood Demon was giving me some kind of hint.
I didn’t know why, but for now, I could only do what I could.
I tightly gripped my sword.
Even with only one hand, I could compensate for lack of power with time acceleration.
However, the biggest problem was how to kill him.
He wouldn’t die no matter how much I cut him.
“It seems… time’s up.”
“Time’s up?”
“Yes, actually, I’m just a clone.”
“… A clone?”
He sent a clone to attack Lionheart Fortress? Was he serious?
Seeing my disbelieving look, Blood Demon laughed and nodded.
This crazy bastard.
“To send a clone in this situation… You’re insane.”
“It’s a rational decision. If I die, the demons lose a significant amount of power.”
“…”
I unconsciously nodded.
Blood Demon was his name, but it was also the name of a mid-ranking class of demons and he said he created all Blood Demons.
In other words, if I killed him, there would be no more new Blood Demons.
That would be a huge loss for the demons and there was another reason.
“You judged that sending a clone would be enough.”
“Yes, because you are not the Royal Knights of your glory days.”
“…”
“But I never imagined you would be this strong.”
He was right.
If I hadn’t drawn him away… wouldn’t the three true demons have wiped out everyone else?
He was that powerful.
I didn’t know about the others, but Blood Demon who I was facing, even as a mere clone, possessed such power.
But there was one thing I didn’t understand.
“Why are you telling me all this?”
“Because time’s up.”
“What? Time?”
“My clone has a limit to its regeneration and it has just reached that limit.”
Indeed, although he had initially maintained a human form, his body was now swaying as if on the verge of collapsing.
So, could I win if I just stalled for time?
No, it wouldn’t be that simple.
As proof, his body was slowly swelling, like a rubber balloon.
It took less than 3 seconds.
In that short time, his size had already become comparable to Lionheart Fortress.
The moment I saw that, I realized what he was aiming for.
“It was more enjoyable than I expected. Let’s have a better time next time.”
“Damn it.”
“Of course, if you survive this.”
My head felt like it was splitting, as if someone was scraping the inside with shards of glass.
But I gritted my teeth and used my ability.
I had no choice.
If I didn’t…
Everyone would die.
It exploded.
The blood-red storm that appeared simultaneously tried to engulf everything, but time slowed to a crawl due to time deceleration.
I could hold on like this.
The explosion wouldn’t last forever.
I’d maintain time deceleration until the explosion ended, but it wasn’t easy.
I raised my hand and wiped my nose.
Unable to bear the strain, blood continued to flow from my nose.
I frowned.
My headache was gradually worsening but I couldn’t back down now.
Just a little longer…
Even if I collapse here!
Helia was the first to react.
In the distance, she saw a blood-red storm rotating abnormally slow.
She instinctively realized that her teacher was suppressing it.
The slowly swirling bloodstorm was a monster of greed that seemed to devour everything.
Helia shouted with all her might.
“We don’t have much time. We have to finish this quickly!”
“What are you talking about… What is that?!”
“That’s the direction the commander took the Blood Demon.”
While deflecting a demon’s attack, Cluna quickly grasped the situation but at the same time, she was slightly surprised.
She didn’t expect Helia to notice it faster than her.
Objectively, Cluna was superior to Helia in both skill and experience.
The reason Helia was able to notice it first was simple, all she had been thinking about was…
Her teacher.
She was here because of her teacher and she fought against the demons because they were his enemies.
She had forgotten all her past memories and experiences.
Her teacher was her only reason to live now, but even Helia didn’t want to lose the connections she had made here.
At first, she didn’t care.
Yes, that was definitely how she felt.
How did things end up this way?
Helia’s body moved like a lightning bolt.
Only her speed was at a level where she could dare to challenge a true demon.
That was the power of the Thunder Dragon Sword Technique, but for now, that was all it was.
“You’re quite skilled for your age.”
“Tsk…!!”
The speed of the Thunder Dragon Sword Technique was beyond imagination.
She could move at a level comparable to a true demon despite her young age.
That alone was enough to dispel any doubts.
However, the biggest problem was herself.
She was still inexperienced and lacked power.
She couldn’t get rid of the trash in front of her, even with the power her teacher had bestowed upon her.
At least that was what Helia believed.
But Rebecca, the true demon she was facing, was inwardly impressed.
She was only a human child…
She was slightly weaker, but she never imagined she could keep up with her to this extent.
She would definitely become a major threat to the demon race in the future.
So, she had to eliminate her here and now.
“I won’t let you!”
But it wasn’t easy.
The two elves had been constantly interfering.
However, even for them, blocking Rebecca’s movements was a herculean task.
Rebecca’s spear of swiftness struck Clara and Cluna.
They barely managed to defend against the attack but soon realized it was a trap.
The distance had increased.

); }
It wasn’t a thrust aimed to kill, but an attack meant to push them away and they had fallen for it perfectly.
Now, there was no one to protect Helia.
“Die!!!”
“…”
A true demon’s attack.
It was a power comparable to the grim reaper.
It couldn’t be dodged or blocked, or so it should have been.
But Helia could see all of her movements clearly.
[I’m going to step down as commander.]
Helia had felt a chill when he said that.
Maybe she had sensed it all along.
That one day, her teacher would leave and it was true.
Hans’ top priority was to return to his original world.
Of course, Helia hadn’t figured that out, and she probably never would.
But she had read the atmosphere.
Of course, she intended to follow her teacher forever.
But what if he went somewhere even she couldn’t reach?
No. She didn’t want that.
So, she had to hold him here.
“You have to defend, you trash.”
“What…?!”
Rebecca had the upper hand in speed and everything else.
Helia was even lacking in experience, getting pushed back with every clash.
But that was all part of Helia’s trap.
Accurately predicting the enemy’s movements.
Dodging by a hair’s breadth and counterattacking.
It was an unavoidable counterattack.
For a brief moment, Rebecca saw it.
Helia’s sword, which had been moving so slowly, suddenly accelerated as if it had been boosted.
Thunder Dragon Sword Technique Second Sword: Thunder Dragon’s Ultimate Guard
Soon, the thunder dragon devoured one of Rebecca’s arms.
