Arrogance

"I'm just a passerby Kamen Rider."

"...?"

Rienta sighed as she looked at the bewildered Rewerdi.

If this Demons, who claims to possess divine skills, were to connect the dots, then things would get a bit...

After hearing this completely baffling answer, Rewerdi didn't ask any further questions, but simply gripped his sword tighter.

As Demons, it possesses an almost infinite lifespan.

During this long period of time, most Demons would spend their entire lives researching a particular type of magic.

It was no exception, except that it chose the Martial Arts, just like other Demons who chose to cultivate magic.

The Divine Skill Rewerdi.

It earned its title through numerous hunts.

This is also an affirmation of its thousand-year-old Martial Arts cultivation.

Whether it's a mage or a warrior, it wins every battle by Four-Sword Style.

A powerful opponent constantly improves its Martial Arts skills.

This has made it difficult for it to find suitable opponents nowadays.

Fortunately.

Humans, with their short lifespans, are not lacking in geniuses.

Fortunately.

As Demons, it has a long lifespan.

The young human before me is very strong, a strange kind of strength.

He's clearly a magician, but he uses a sword.

Although his weapon is a sword, his fighting style is like that of a magician, lacking any aesthetic appeal of Martial Arts.

However, none of that matters.

You'en was defeated in one move simply because of insufficient information.

No matter how strange he may seem, the man before him is still just a magician.

Um.

An arrogant magician.

He wouldn't even tell me his name.

However, among the mages he killed, quite a few First-Class Mages.

This man will pay the price for his arrogance!

With a clear mind, Rewerdi looked at Rienta with unwavering eyes.

Rienta looked at Rewerdi, whose aura and Mana were rising ever higher, with a strange expression.

What does it mean?

I've become the villain?

Wasn't this Demons, who calls himself Divine Skill Rewerdi, just acting like an arrogant villain?

They wouldn't even answer their own questions!!

Demons.

What an arrogant bunch of beasts.

It was just a joke, why act like you've suffered all this injustice and are now all-knowing and ready to fight back?

Is this the script you should be holding?!

Rienta no longer stood with her hands behind her back; instead, her hands were loosely clasped and hung at her sides.

As Mana surged, array patterns simultaneously appeared on Rienta's hands and in the void behind her.

[Projection Magic] Construct.

[Shadow-Driving Magic] Construction.

[Special Effects Magic] Construction.

As the magic circle disappeared, a sword and a dagger appeared in Rienta's hands.

His left hand held Tang Straight Saber, roughly the same as the longsword he had just used to slash at Rewerdi and You'en.

The hilt is shaped like a Qilin, and purple-gold lightning flashes in the void outside the blade.

In his right hand Three-Foot Sword, slender in shape, resembling a Han dynasty sword, with a lotus-shaped hilt. Several long sword phantoms swirled in the void surrounding the sword.

The long sword that was originally floating in the void transformed into a sword ring and a blade ring behind Rienta, each flowing independently.

The magic circle behind him did not disappear; instead, it continued to project new swords.

Rienta didn't quite understand why this Demons wasn't taking the opportunity to close the distance; it was clearly a great chance.

I hadn't planned on making such a big fuss at first, but this so-called Divine Skill Rewerdi, just stood there waiting for me.

Arrogant.

What an arrogant, domineering, and presumptuous Demons!

And he's quite the show-off!!

Rewerdi can take the opportunity to close the distance when Rienta casts a spell.

But it did not choose that path.

Simply because...

A knife and a sword appeared in Rienta's hands.

Is this an attempt to engage it in close combat?

At around twenty years old, one has only cultivated Martial Arts for a little over ten years at most, not to mention being First-Class Mage. Where would one find so much time to practice Martial Arts and hone one's skills?

Now he wants to engage in close combat with Levrdj, Demons has cultivated Martial Arts for over a thousand years and is known for his Divine Skill Rewerdi?

Arrogant!

What an arrogant human being!

Since that's the case, why not grant his wish?

"Die, you arrogant bastard!!"

"Die, you arrogant bastard!!"

Two voices resounded simultaneously atop the ruined fortress walls.

Human Two-Sword Style versus Demons Four-Sword Style.

The sounds of swords clashing were incessant.

In the instant they clashed, Rewerdi realized that although the human before him possessed astonishing strength, his Martial Arts skills were not particularly advanced.

It could even be described as pitifully weak, not even as strong as the knight commander it had killed before.

It did not rush to attack the vital points, but observed the situation through continuous exchanges.

It wanted to know what gave the Human Mage before it the confidence to choose close combat.

After exchanging over a hundred blows, the two began to calm their disordered breathing.

Rienta looked at the Demons wielding four longswords in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Can this really be called Divine Skill Rewerdi's?

He was about on par with someone like himself who only had a smattering of knowledge; in reality, he was only slightly better than Stark when he was serious.

He originally intended to hone his Martial Arts skills through [Intangibility], which is why he chose close combat.

If you really want to kill this Demons, just use [Projection Magic] plus [Shadow-Driving Magic] and swords to wipe out the area.

Why go through all that trouble?

The Divine Skill Rewerdi?

Pooh!

I think it's the neurotic Rewerdi!!

How dare you play me!!

Rewerdi looked at the human in front of him who was taking a deep breath with a complicated expression.

After exchanging over a hundred blows, they had completely ascertained this human's Martial Arts level.

Amateur.

Most of his moves are meaningless actions. Apart from his astonishing physical strength, his achievements in Martial Arts are basically as ordinary as those of an average human.

A simple four-sword combo attack was enough to throw this human into a panic.

What's this?

As a mage, upon hearing my name, you actually chose to fight me with such a low-level Two-Sword Style technique.

Does this mean they look down on me, the one known Divine Skill Rewerdi?

Evil human, I will...

Rewerdi's thoughts suddenly stopped.

The four hands that were gripping the sword trembled slightly, and the snake's body subconsciously began to wriggle backward.

Rienta looked at Rewerdi with a calm expression and indifferent eyes.

There were no further words spoken.

The swords and blades that kept emerging frantically from the magic circle behind him represented his current state of mind.

As a Demons.

They actually dared to fool themselves again and again.

With a slight thought, a torrent of swords, carrying soaring magical Mana, rushed towards Rewerdi.

"What is this?! Divine Skill Rewerdi?!"

"Eat my Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!!"

Rewerdi ignored the approaching torrent of swords and blades, instead turning his gaze to the young human standing not far away with his hands behind his back.

Putting aside the ridiculously strong power, what's going on with this absurdly massive Mana before us?

When will First-Class Mage be able to possess such Mana?

Am I already falling behind humanity?

But haven't I been hunting humans all along?
