Tomato's Combat Wisdom

Genau hovered in the air, his black wings fluttering gently, sending countless Mana feathers hurtling straight toward Rewerdi on the ground.

Rewerdi kept swinging his sword, cutting the feathers off.

At the same time.

This familiar scene startled Stark for a moment, but he quickly realized what it meant.

Holding the axe in both hands, he suddenly pushed off with his feet, flashed behind Rewerdi, and then leaped high into the air, slashing at Rewerdi.

Rewerdi did not turn around, but instead drew two longswords and, in a posture impossible for a human, crossed them behind his back to block Stark's slash.

The human and the demon were immediately locked in a stalemate.

Seeing this, Genau first sent dozens of feathers straight towards Rewerdi, then manipulated the black wings behind him to slash directly at Rewerdi's heart.

Rewerdi remained unmoved, swinging his third sword to cut off most of the black feathers, while his fourth sword, carrying unparalleled force, slashed at Stark behind him.

Stark was slashed into the air by this immense force.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rewerdi pointed all four of his longswords at Genau, who was attacking him.

In the blink of an eye, the man and the demon exchanged several blows.

Rewerdi used the same trick again, knocking Genau onto Stark, who hadn't fully landed yet.

After the two collided, Genau flapped his wings and continued charging towards Rewerdi.

Stark rolled twice on the ground and slammed hard against the broken stone wall.

He let out a muffled groan instinctively, but then immediately gripped his Poleaxe and charged at Rewerdi again.

The two humans and the demon were locked in a fierce battle, the sounds of swords, axes, and wings clashing echoing throughout the room.

In the blink of an eye, several more moves had been made.

As a powerful Demons who had cultivated swordsmanship for hundreds of years and mastered its divine Divine Skill Rewerdi had by now basically figured out the moves of Genau and Stark.

The two tried to wear him down by constantly alternating close-quarters combat attacks.

Perhaps for other Demons, this level of close combat would be enough to overwhelm them.

But for it, Genau and Stark are still somewhat inexperienced.

After repelling yet another alternating attack from Genau and Stark, Rewerdi's gaze sharpened.

Now!

Rewerdi seized the opportunity and slashed at Genau's shoulder with his longsword.

The Genau reacted quickly, managing to stop its momentum even while airborne.

But Rewerdi's longsword still left a deep, bone-revealing gash on his body.

Stark stopped retreating and went straight into close combat with Rewerdi, engaging him in a fierce battle.

Genau flapped his black wings, creating some distance from the battlefield, and stared intently at Rewerdi, who was relentlessly suppressing Stark.

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be called the Divine Skill Rewerdi.

Fighting it is like facing several sword masters at the same time.

The Four-Sword Style is one aspect.

However, their reaction speed and physical strength far exceed those of humans.

If we get bogged down in a protracted war, we'll definitely lose.

Should we retreat temporarily and take a break...?

The thought flashed through Genau's mind subconsciously, but he quickly suppressed it.

Rewerdi is faster; if he gets caught up during the retreat, it's all over.

Genau bowed slightly to gather his strength before charging back onto the battlefield.

On the battlefield.

Upon noticing Genau rushing into the battle, Rewerdi swung his sword at Stark. As Stark changed his stance to defend, Reveldi turned to face Genau and swept his thick snake tail at Stark.

Boom!

Stark was swept back against the wall at the edge of the battlefield by this sweeping attack.

A cloud of smoke and dust filled the air.

Stark slumped against the wall, which was covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

Just as Frieren had said before, he couldn't see through Rewerdi's methods at all.

However, since that's the case...

Just then, Rewerdi had already repelled the attacking Genau.

The snake slightly bent its body, gathered its strength, and then leaped into the air, landing behind Stark had just stood up, before slashing down with its sword.

Stark reacted quickly, swinging his Poleaxe to block the sword.

But Rewerdi is Four-Sword Style.

Taking advantage of the gap in Stark's parry, Rewerdi's other longsword was already slashing towards Stark's vitals.

Stark managed to avoid vital organs, but a bloody sword wound still remained on his chest.

"Idiot, I told you not to confront them head-on."

Upon seeing this, Genau instinctively shouted and simultaneously flapped his wings, charging towards Leif's Edu.

After wounding Stark with a single sword strike, Rewerdi didn't hesitate. Ignoring the Genau attacking him from afar, he charged directly at Stark, intending to kill the human warrior.

At the same time.

As he flew backwards, Stark's lips curled into a slight smile.

This scene was witnessed by Genau, who was focused on rescuing Stark.

'This guy did it on purpose.'

Genau reacted instantly, his original attack suddenly changed, and his wings slashed directly at Rewerdi's huge snake tail.

Rewerdi's long-planned killing move failed to work.

As he flew backwards, Stark instinctively grabbed Rewerdi's arm.

Meanwhile, Genau's wings successfully severed a section of Rewerdi's snake tail.

"Stark, you are an excellent warrior. Thanks to you, it revealed a slight weakness."

As Genau maneuvered his black and gold wings to launch continuous attacks on Rewerdi, he remarked with a sigh.

With a section of his snake tail severed, Rewerdi was struggling to cope and could only retreat continuously.

They were eventually forced back to the edge of the wall, dozens of meters away.

The longsword and the wings were locked in a stalemate.

"It's over, Rewerdi."

Upon hearing this, Rewerdi's expression remained unchanged. Looking at the grim-faced Genau, he suddenly realized and said:

"Wait, I remember now."

"You're the partner of the First-Class Mage I killed before, right?"

"The situation was similar then; you went to fight other Demons, while he stayed behind to protect the village."

"By the time you return to the village, it will be too late."

Don't you want to know what your partner looked like in the end?

Genau pursed his lips and coldly snapped, "Shut up!"

Rewerdi continued, seemingly oblivious to his own words, "I learned a very interesting lesson from that battle."

"That's enough, it's time to shut up."

Black wings continued to press down on Rewerdi.

Rewerdi held three longswords firmly against the wings and said softly:

"Well then, I'll give you one last piece of advice: remember to be extra careful when confirming the survivors."

Upon hearing this, Genau was taken aback. Indeed, as Rewerdi had said, a 'survivor' had appeared within the range of his Detection Magic.

However, it seems to be a magician...

With Rienta's full speed ahead, they quickly arrived at the village in the direction indicated by Frieren.

The battle within the village was quite large-scale.

For some reason, Rienta instinctively shut down [Detection Magic], suppressing her Mana as she quietly sneaked into the village.

Upon arriving at the church, which was also the site of the battle.

With his free hand, Rewerdi swung a longsword directly towards the location of Rienta.

?

What does it mean?

Did I miss something? Or did you open it?
