Courage

Demps's true strength stunned everyone.

Even the necromancer Renze, who was on the friendly team and had always disliked Demps, the genius student, was now gaping, with a bead of cold sweat even sliding down his cheek...

All prejudice against Demps vanished.

Such performance cannot be described as 'genius'.

It combines magical prowess, combat skills, and strategy into one.

It perfectly combines melee combat and magic.

As lightning struck the earth like a soaring dragon and devoured the Head Butler, Han Dong clenched his fist tightly.

The scene was so breathtaking; even Formal Knight couldn't pull off such a move...

Han Dong muttered, "It seems that Demps borrowed a rather terrifying artifact from a mysterious force outside the city... such an artifact can even detach itself from the current space and exist in other planes, visible only to the one who recognizes its master."

Demps, you've been a huge help.

Just then, Han Dong suddenly formed a bond with the Duoze Crow perched on his shoulder.

A dark figure vanished instantly from the Stuart Manor.

In the dark gold-colored, isolated space.

Because most of his energy was instantly depleted, Even Though Demps could not resist the side effects of the rapid energy consumption.

He supported his body with a long spear and knelt on one knee.

Since you just took a concentrated, potent mana-replenishing capsule, you cannot take another one now, otherwise you will suffer permanent side effects from forcibly replenishing your mana.

Demps unleashed his strongest chain attack using the 'Power of the Rubik's Cube,' hitting the target perfectly.

Barthilas Insect Blood, the Mature Abyssal Demon and Head Butler sent by the Blood God to monitor Scarlet Manor, had his physical body disintegrate simultaneously from the inside out, turning into micron-sized black charred powder that scattered with the wind.

"Huh? What about the core!? It shouldn't have been completely destroyed..."

Just as Demps was trying to seize the core fragments left behind after the Otherworldly Demon's death.

The Head Butler's body was gradually turning to ashes.

A stick insect, about the size of a finger and resembling a blood crystal, fell to the ground amidst the disintegrating flesh.

"Core form complete! It has actually reached this stage!"

It's obvious that this Blood Crystal Mantis is the true form of the Head Butler.

It is currently in an extremely weak state, relying on its core to maintain its last bit of life. One more blow will kill this alien demon.

The Blood Crystal Mantis landed and tried to burrow into the ground to escape... its escape speed was not slow at all.

It's too late to draw your gun now!

Demps immediately attempted to freeze the stick insect with ice crystal magic cast by his left hand, and then pierce it with his spear.

Snap!

When the fingers are snapped.

Only a small amount of ice crystals formed in the air, less than one-tenth the strength of the previous Ice Coffin, which failed to prevent the stick insects from escaping.

Not only that.

The prolonged use of a Mysterious Cube far exceeding Demps's level, coupled with the additional stress on the body from several instances of extremely rapid magic consumption, contributed to this situation.

The "burden" had long exceeded the maximum limit that Demps's body could withstand.

Sizzle~

Demps's left arm skin underwent 'fragmentation' disintegration.

The flesh and blood separated on their own, like a hard, gray lump.

There was no pain during the process; the only sensation was that my left arm didn't belong to me.

A strong sense of weakness instantly swept over Demps, making it even more difficult for him to continue controlling the Mysterious Cube.

The dark gold gloves were reassembled into the shape of a Rubik's Cube, and because they had recognized their owner, they floated around Demps.

but...

Due to a lack of control.

The enclosed space, which had been pre-arranged by Demps, began to crack and disintegrate from the corners.

now.

Outside the enclosed space, hundreds of elite bloodlines had gathered. The enraged Mad Feast Baron swung his terrifying giant axe, hacking wildly at the surface of the enclosed space.

Even the Earl himself set off.

Demps's performance terrified the Earl...

This human, who hadn't even grown into a knight, could reach such a level, almost killing Mature Abyssal Demon... It's terrifying.

If Demps is allowed to grow up unchecked, the Earl will be threatened.

Moreover, the Earl had heard the legends about the "New King."

Click~ Click~ Click!

The moment the enclosed space cracked open.

Led by the Earl, the entire Crimson Army pressed forward.

At this moment, Demps was overwhelmed by weakness and didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

However, Demps remained completely calm, as if he knew in advance that he would not be in any danger.

A feeling of weakness swept through the brain.

Before closing your eyes.

The last image received through the eyes was a Black Feather drifting down in front of them.

Demps smiled slightly and closed her eyes peacefully.

"The Door of Khepri"

Yellow sand rises.

A sand gate, fifty meters high, rose from the ground, blocking the Crimson Army from Demps.

It's not simply about gathering the sand together; it's about using magic to profoundly change the sand, forming an impregnable sand gate.

A huge scarab beetle mark was branded on the surface of the city gate.

The extremely robust structure and the barrier passed down from Ancient Egypt completely isolated the Scarlet Army.

Even Though the Earl managed to break through the gate in a short time, it still delayed him by a few seconds.

The weakened and unconscious Demps has been taken back to the Stuart Manor by a shadowy figure.

It was Han Dong who brought Demps back.

Han Dong knew very well that once Demps couldn't hold on, Scarlet Manor would do everything in its power to eliminate such a potential threat in advance.

To ensure a successful rescue of Demps, he had to personally go to the battlefield.

"If it were any other kind of demon, it would have already died at Demps's hands... It's just a pity that the target is a hybrid of 'insect' and 'blood' with incredibly strong vitality."

but.

The Head Butler's physical body is completely dead and his essence is severely damaged. It will take several years or even longer to restore him to his original state.

This also eliminates one of the most threatening points in this battle... I really owe Demps a huge favor!

Look around the manor.

The crows' attention was also focused on Demps.

To single-handedly fight against an army of ten thousand men led by Mature Abyssal Demon and ultimately win... that is incredible strength.

"The New King..."

A hint of respect flashed in the eyes of the several Crow Person Elder.

Two Two-Headed Crow Person skilled in dark healing magic quickly stepped forward, gently taking the unconscious Demps in their arms and providing medical care to the best of their ability, even sacrificing their own flesh and blood to repair Demps's broken left arm.

Of all the people in the manor, the one whose emotions fluctuated the most was Blood Knight Lucius.

Even the blood flowing through Lucius's body surged and churned because of Demps's performance.

Demps's performance shocked Lucius like never before, and it seemed to give him the answer to why he chose to join the Knight Order.

He released his Blood Qi and energy and shouted loudly:

"The hymn to humanity is the hymn to courage! The greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage! This is true courage!!"

With Lucius's shout, the overall atmosphere at the Stuart Manor reached its peak.

Han Dong waved his Crow Staff, pointing it directly at the distant Scarlet Manor:

"Full Assault!!"
