"We can't do that. You're going to fight a mage, nya."
"Tell me what to do and I'll help you."
"No, with me it's enough."
Poloa brought up the rear, "at least let me cover you."
Now, third general of the demon king, show me how powerful you are.
I drew the great sword and held it in both hands.
"You're Roiz, right, can I ask you something?"
"I don't like to talk to the enemy, but I suppose I have to in order to gather information. I'll let you ask something just once, and in return you'll answer my questions."
"Why did you block the road?"
"It's bait to lure the hero. The greatest enemy of all demons, the one trying to kill the Demon King."
I see.
So the demons are going straight for the hero.
Maybe they wanted to kill him before, but they couldn't find him since they haven't heard any news about what Sain is doing for a while now.
If it's any consolation, I also want to kill the hero as much as you do.
"Now it's my turn to ask you a question - where's the hero?"
"I don't know."
"Let's change the question - who was it that killed our compatriots, the demon king's generals?"
"It was me."
The demons made a stunned noise.
Roiz also stepped back, as if he had not expected that answer.
"Who are you?"
"A simple warrior."
"Nonsense! We'll end this now!"
The ten demons accompanying the general drew their knives.
They disperse and start attacking from different directions.
"Wind cut!"
Fuush
The demons were cut down by the wind blade.
The enemy flinched as Kaede held out her iron fan so gracefully.
"Break Hammer! Aaaaaa!"
Frau's hammer hits the enemy directly, and the opponent is sent flying and driven into the wall.
"Only you are left."
"They are only disposable tools. Roiz's real power comes after his men are dead."
Demons that should have been dead rise from the ground.
In addition, the corpses of humans lying dead in the vicinity also rose up and we were suddenly surrounded by more than fifty opponents.
So this is the famous necromancy I heard so much about.
An abhorrent magic that manipulates corpses to obey the caster.
"Get away from me!"
"That's disgusting, nya!"
Poloa fights from a distance with a bow, and Lynn fights to keep the corpses away.
This situation is something we can easily overcome, but just in case, I'll bring out my escort.
I called Rosuke and ordered him to protect Poloa and Lynn."
"What can I do for you, master?"
"If you want me to get rid of them, I can do so gladly."
"No, I'll do it. You guys keep an eye on the general and make sure he doesn't escape."
I held the great sword and controlled my breathing.
I used the [Dragon Knight] and [Great Thief] skills simultaneously.
In addition, I will use the moves learned from Alusha to be more agile.
"Hah!"
My speed increased so much, that one of the corpses reacted to me and looked back the moment I cut it in two.
Then I cut one after another until they were all lying on the ground again.
Roiz still couldn't process the fact that his army was lying on the ground in the blink of an eye.
Roiz was left alone again, and stepped back.
Did you realize that you have no chance of winning?
"Ice Rock!"
"Eh!?"
Kaede acted fast, and froze his legs so that he could not escape.
I slowly approach him.
"Get away! Get away from me!"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of killing Sain, so you can die peacefully."
"Wait, what do you..."
From one second to the next, Roiz's head flew through the air.
I put my sword away quietly, and turned around, Lynn and Poloa staring at me in amazement.
Both were frozen with weapons in their hands.
"Is something wrong?"
"Are you really level 50?"
"Yes."
"That's a lie! You're hiding your true level with some camouflage item or something!"
Ugh, he knows.
I knew that at any moment someone would notice once they saw I wasn't struggling.
On the way back to Grigit, Poloa and Lynn were completely silent.
