Chapter 261: Strength

"You…" Wendy leaped forth while slashing her sword.

Dimitri also waved his sword, striking her sword.

Wendy's blood sword suddenly splashed like a normal blood and each droplet acted like a nail, puncturing Dimitri's body.

However, Dimitri covered his body with black energy, absorbing all those droplets before making a complete swing due to the dispersed blood.

"!!!" Wendy suddenly felt immense danger from that one full swing alone. Even though the sword didn't even reach her, her instinct was telling her that if she didn't move away, she would die.

Hence, Wendy chose to trust her instinct and leaped back before a sharp pain struck her neck.

Wendy widened her eyes in shock and tried to press the area where the pain came, only to find blood covering her hand.

Wendy was shocked because this kind of attack shouldn't have happened. But because she leaped back, her vision became wider and she spotted the shadow reflected by the moonlight.

The shadow of the blade looped around Dimitri and curved straight to her shadow's neck. That was the reason why she got this injury. But to think that Dimitri could kill someone just by using their shadow, even she was shocked.

"Kh." Wendy realized that even though their rank was about the same, it seemed that Dimitri's strength was far beyond her. It wasn't just about the Spiritual Energy, it was about the utilization of the Spiritual Energy. And Dimitri won that area by a landslide.

Dimitri, of course, didn't plan to drag this fight, so he leaped forth while waving his blade. His shadow also began to move, so Wendy had to look at both him and his shadow attacks.

Wendy gritted her teeth and covered the ground with her blood again. This would drain her Spiritual Energy, but this was the only way for her to stop Dimitri.

However, Dimitri was never afraid of challenge. Seeing that his shadow was blocked, Dimtri covered his sword with dark energy before striking Wendy's sword.

It didn't seem to be extraordinary attack, but Wendy had learned a lot from that the previous slash, so she stomped the ground while observing anything before striking Dimitri's sword, stopping him.

'There's truly nothing behind it?' Wendy thought because she didn't see any Spiritual Energy fluctuation or any change in the shadow.

Meanwhile, Dimitri continued slashing his swords as if trying to overwhelm her. He even looped around her to find any weak spots, but Wendy's swordsmanship was better than he originally expected because each slash was contained easily.

"Do you think I'll lose against you in terms of swordsmanship?" Wendy snorted, stopping Dimitri's blade again.

Upon hearing this challenge, Dimitri only smiled because there was a single purpose for him holding back in the swordsmanship. But because it had been achieved, Dimitri used more strength in pushing her back.

Even Wendy had to hold her sword with two hands to stop his push alone, but Dimitri didn't stop there.

A dark blade began to form around his arms and looped around to strike Wendy's body.

'Huh? Blades? Where did it come from?' Wendy was dumbfounded when she saw the blades formed. After all, she had blocked the shadow… "Shadow?!"

As soon as she came into realization, she tried to leap back, albeit the blades were faster. Two blades impaled her shoulder and her waist.

"Kh" Wendy endured the pain while pointing her palm at him. "Die."

A blood tornado came out of her palm. If she used this to her carriage, she would be able to devour the carriage with ease. So, Dimitri had to dodge this if he didn't want to be destroyed.

"Why do you want to give me the power to attack you?" Dimitri smirked. Instead of dodging, Dimitri planned to challenge this blood tornado.

He waved his sword downwards as if he was planning to cut the tornado, but nothing happened.

But right before the blood tornado reached him, a black energy suddenly stopped the tornado before splitting it into two.

The gap between the tornado gave birth to another shadow, extending this slash. The process repeated until Dimitri's sword strike reached the base of the tornado.

"!!!" Wendy widened her eyes in shock and threw herself to the side as the shadow came through her tornado and almost cut her. Still, her movement was a bit too late and the shadow strike managed to cut her left arm.

"Kh." Wendy gritted her teeth. 'Just like the blades earlier… He is using the shadow cast by the moon to form those blades. I might be able to cover the ground, but I can't cover a single thing. He can simply put his hand in front of his body and the hand will be covered with the shadow of his body.

'And that strike from earlier… He is utilizing the shadow between the tornado to extend his attack. His shadow manipulation is too much.'

She gritted her teeth, not finding any way to defeat Dimitri. If that was the case, there was only one thing to do.

Turning around, Wendy leaped away.

"Running away?" Dimitri smiled and chased after her. Obviously, he was much faster than her, especially with the fact that he attached his own shadow to Wendy to make sure she couldn't escape that fast.

In an instant, Dimitri caught up and swung his sword.

"No!" Wendy shouted while striking Dimitri's sword. Her blood splattered again, but this time, they turned into blades to kill Dimitri.

Unfortunately for her, the blood blades were cut into pieces together with her right arm by the shadow cast by their own.

If one took a look, the shadow of those blades as well as Wendy's arm had been sliced by numerous blades from Dimitri's shadow.

And now without any hands, Wendy wasn't an opponent anymore.

"Wait—" Wendy tried her last resort, which was to reason. But Dimitri didn't care much about her opinion, so he cut her in half, eliminating a bishop of the Supreme Devil Organization.

The fight between two people of the same level was simply overwhelming. They never expected that Wendy couldn't even hold a candle against this mysterious guy that helped them.

Seeing this man, vice captain Joseph furrowed his eyebrows, muttering, "Dimitri… Shadow… Spirit Grandmaster… Wait a minute. Don't tell me you are…"

Dimitri smiled and dragged Wendy's corpses to them before saying, "I am just a butler. If that happens to be another way because of your Demon Observer Squad, I don't mind removing the brat Septa."

No one dared to call Septa a brat even though he was young. After all, his strength was truly unparalleled, but Joseph knew that Dimitri truly had the power to do so.

He gulped down and nodded his head. "I understand. I promise you that—"

Joseph suddenly stopped after the glare from Dimitri and hurriedly corrected himself. "I don't see anything. We haven't seen anything. We only see there's a weird demon killing the Bloody Queen."

"Much better." Dimitri nodded, satisfied as he turned into shadow again, leaving them away.

Joseph's body was trembling while his subordinates were staring at him as if asking him about Dimitri's identity. After all, there was no way such a person would be this hidden. Even if he was just a butler, his strength should be enough to give some reputation. So, it was weird.

But Joseph could only say, "Just remember this. We haven't seen anything. If you say a single thing, Demon Observer Squad might have to change all of their personnel…"
