Divine Technique

In the abandoned fortress.

You'en continued to report the situation with an excited expression.

"There are five mages and one warrior, four of whom are at level one."

After saying that, You'en paused for a moment and looked at a powerful Mana rushing towards them.

"However, it seems that a First-Class Mage is lost?"

"These few people can't beat us. Should we deal with that lone one first?"

As a Demons warrior, Rewerdi is far inferior to You'en in terms of Mana Detection.

However, the newcomer did not conceal his Mana; instead, he charged straight at him.

A bit arrogant.

Upon realizing it, its first reaction wasn't to seek refuge with its teammates, but rather to rush forward alone?

However, this suits me perfectly.

Although there was a sense of foreboding, as long as this human in front of me was dealt with quickly, there shouldn't be any other major problems.

It should be noted that besides himself and You'en, there are two other Demons, whose strength is no less than that of First-Class Mage, hiding in the abandoned fortress.

After a moment's thought, Rewerdi slowly pulled his hands apart, and as Mana surged, four longswords appeared in his hands.

"Humans have a habit of leaving corpses in villages to protect them. That's why I killed so many people to provoke them, to make them scatter."

"I'm very interested, why is that?" You'en asked excitedly, watching Rewerdi's retreating figure. He wasn't worried at all about the human First-Class Mage charging towards them.

There's no reason.

"Huh? What's the reason? I'm really, really curious."

"Are you interested in humans? What a strange fellow."

Rewerdi did not continue to explain, but instead looked at Rienta, which was already halfway down the fortress wall.

"Oh? There are four? It seems the two little mice hiding there have done a pretty good job of Mana Suppression."

On the city wall.

On the way here, Rienta's Special Effects Magic had already completely surrounded her.

But unlike before, this time he was surrounded by Tang Straight Saber flashing with purple lightning.

Rienta stood with his hands behind his back, suspended in mid-air above the city wall.

Only a sliver of the setting sun remained on the horizon.

The restless lightning reflected on Rienta's calm face.

"There's a village nearby. The villagers were all killed by Demons. Did you do it?"

Rewerdi remained silent and did not answer. Judging from the Mana displayed so far, this human had already surpassed him.

Moreover, and most importantly, it can clearly feel the sharp pain coming from its vital points, a warning from its intuition.

He is Demons warrior who has been studying the Four-Sword Style for over a thousand years.

But what about the human in front of me?

Looking around, he saw dozens of long swords surrounding him.

Its intuition was constantly warning it that those long knives were not just bluffing, but could pose a real threat.

Half of the longswords had already locked onto him and You'en beside him, while the other half were probably searching for Hemon and Zuolitan, who were hidden in the abandoned fortress.

You'en was right; what arrived was indeed a feast rich in Mana.

But I don't seem to have much of an appetite...

Rienta stared coldly at the two Demons before her, her killing intent already barely contained.

L996's mental tactics are one thing, but I can't beat him yet.

But these two Demons, who seemed to have some strength, dared to ignore him.

Is it because they look down on me, a young First-Class Mage?

Those are truly arrogant Demons.

No, there are two more hiding, and these two Demons are even more arrogant.

Even though they had already surrounded the two Demons in front of them, those two didn't choose to come to their aid. Instead, they were hiding in this abandoned fortress.

However, this is simply the consistent practice of the Demons.

"Demons, truly a bunch of beasts who look human but are incapable of communication."

You'en is very curious.

Besides studying magic, it also enjoys studying humans, and is very interested in the many incomprehensible things humans do.

Just as it couldn't understand why Lord Rewerdi would say that if some humans were killed, the Human Mage came to exterminate them would spare some manpower to guard the corpses that were no longer of any use.

This is clearly a wrong decision, yet humanity seems to enjoy it immensely.

Just like now, it doesn't understand why this mage is charging at it alone.

There were clearly five mages and one warrior, including four First-Class Mages.

Shouldn't it be allocated more reasonably?

Even if, as Lord Rewerdi said, some people would be set aside to guard those useless corpses.

But it shouldn't be like this, with one person rushing over.

It couldn't understand.

Humans are truly strange creatures.

Its curiosity was becoming increasingly difficult to suppress; it had many questions it wanted to ask the human before it.

Lady Rewerdi remained silent, while the Human Mage a longsword firmly locked against her heart and neck.

It couldn't speak.

As his thoughts raced, the longsword, crackling with purple lightning, was already hurtling towards his vitals.

Just as You'en summoned his weapon, nine streaks of purple lightning were already upon him.

Although it is not Demon General like Lord Rewerdi who specializes in combat, it is also a mage and is not much weaker than a human First-Class Mage.

Ding-dong!

It realized what was happening.

It blocked the long swords aimed at its heart and neck.

"Wait a moment..."

Next came several other attacks. You'en was about to say something, several purple cracks appeared on its body.

Divide You'en's entire body into several areas.

"... Is this First-Class Mage?"

A question flashed through You'en's mind, and then his body, which had been divided into several pieces, began to slowly dissipate into black particles.

On the other side.

Rewerdi, using Four-Sword Style, successfully blocked all of Rienta's attacks, albeit somewhat awkwardly, but he did succeed.

She let out a long breath, then looked at the excessively young man in front of her with a strange expression.

You'en is right, it is indeed a feast rich in Mana.

But his ominous premonition came true.

Is this Demon General, who has cultivated for over a thousand years, really the main course for this young human who looks to be less than twenty years old?

That's terrifying.

Sure enough, I really dislike geniuses.

Especially human geniuses.

Even though the man before her was very strong, he still lacked the kind of beauty that comes with the passage of time.

The abandoned fortress was large, and there were plenty of footholds on the walls.

That's why I arranged for Hemon and Zuolitan to stand guard on the other side of the city wall.

In retrospect, this decision appears to have been a mistake.

If Hemon and Zuolitan had been there, at least You'en wouldn't have been unable to withstand even a single blow.

As Demon General, Rewerdi was well aware of the weaknesses of Human Mages.

Although the person in front of me used unknown magic to defeat You'en, I still have a fighting chance.

Close range.

As long as I can get close to this human.

One sword.

I only need one sword...

"I have been practicing Martial Arts for over a thousand years, and you humans have given me a title: Divine Skill Rewerdi."

I acknowledge your abilities.

"May I have your name?"
