The smoke of battle still lingered, and the sky was filled with burning embers, resembling a scene from hell...
Rudeus gazed silently at the masterpiece before him, lost in thought...
(Damn, they got carried away as soon as they started fighting and made such a huge mess.)
(What should we do when the Demon King Army arrives...? We can't just kill them all...)
[ Emotion Points +1000 from Eris ]
[ Emotion Points +1000 from Rujierd ]
" Rudeus!"
Eris snapped out of her "liberated" state, excitedly ran over, hugged Rudeus's neck, and shouted excitedly:
" Rudeus was so cool just now!! What kind of skill was that?! Can I learn it?!"
"Hey... Eris, why are you yelling so loudly?"
"Your yelling is giving me a headache. Why don't you just develop a sword technique related to your voice?!"
Rudeus, gritting his slightly dizzy head, complained.
You're the one with the loud voice!
"She's a lady, okay! Humph!"
Eris then put on a sulky expression.
" Rudeus, I don't think I'll be surprised by anything you do from now on."
"Rujierd sighed."
Okay, okay, this is just like my past life's experiences with making friends...
When we first met:
Brother, where are you from?
But once it's ripe, it turns into --
Dude, are you even human?
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of the battle...
A voice that only Rudeus could hear rang out again--
[ Emotion Points +500 From --]
[ Atoferatofe ]
"What?!"
(Extreme Pressure BGM plays here)
Rudeus suddenly looked up at the sky...
There are people in the sky!
She's a white-haired, busty mature woman with wings on her back!
"Hey--Have we been spotted?"
Atofe hung high in the sky, looking down upon the crowd:
"Such a commotion, I thought it was some old monster again..."
"I never expected it to be you..."
She composed herself and smiled knowingly.
"Handsome young man~"
"I've really struck gold!"
"That is..."
Eris was shocked that the person in the sky could actually fly.
"That's the legendary immortal demon king— Atoferatofe," Rujierd explained.
"I am—the Undying Demon King Atoferatofe Rebek!"
"Proud warrior! Do you yearn for power?"
"Submit to me! I will grant you even greater power!" Atofe looked down at the scene with a mocking expression from mid-air.
"Oh, really? But... more than power, I crave you." Rudeus showed no fear.
"What an arrogant brat! Then pick up your sword and let me see if you have the strength to match your boastful words!"
"No~no~no~"
Rudeus waved his hands repeatedly:
"Your opponent isn't me, it's her—"
He pointed to Eris, who was eager to try.
Upon hearing that he could fight the legendary Demon King, he was so excited he almost took off.
At this point, Rujierd said with some concern:
" Rudeus, are you sure you're okay? Or should I do it?"
"No problem, I'm here, there won't be any issues."
Seeing Rudeus's confident gaze, Rujierd nodded and stepped aside.
" Eris, let's go!"
Rudeus laughed.
I will always be watching over you.
Upon hearing this, Eris could no longer hold back...
An excited heart, trembling hands, a flaming greatsword, and a "mad" dog!
Like a vicious dog returning from hell, she leaped forward, soaring more than ten meters into the air, and "bite" at Atofe in mid-air!
With a single stroke of the sword--
He slashed diagonally downwards at Atofe's shoulder.
Unexpectedly, Atofe cleverly pulled away, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"He can jump that high? Looks like this trip was worthwhile!"
Atofe laughed wildly:
"All of you will become my subordinates! Hahahaha!"
Then, he drew a greatsword as tall as himself from his lower back and swooped down towards Eris on the ground.
Clang!
A loud clanging sound rang out.
The friction between the two giant swords sparked sparks and produced acrid smoke.
"Wow, she's that strong... looks like I'll have to get a little more serious."
Atofe murmured, then veins bulged on his right arm.
He swung his sword again, forcefully knocking Eris away and sending her flying.
Before Eris could regain her footing...
Atofe immediately drew his knife and charged forward.
Clang--!
The two swords clashed again.
Eris managed to raise her sword and parry with difficulty.
The ground was plowed into deep furrows.
"Is that all you've got..."
Atofe sneered, but his grip remained firm.
"Hmph, this is just the beginning!"
Eris gritted her teeth and tilted her body slightly to the side to deflect Atofe's force.
Then, it nimbly did several somersaults in succession, creating some distance between itself and the enemy.
Eris then closed her eyes tightly, and waves of magical energy began to surge throughout her body.
Atofe did not attack immediately, but instead observed the other party's actions with curiosity.
Then, magic runes began to flash across Eris's body...
Red... blue... green... yellow...
A completely different aura emanated from Eris...
That's right!
Eris can also amplify magic!
"Round two begins!" Eris shouted, splitting the greatsword in two in her hand...
The next moment!
His figure vanished from the spot, leaving only billowing dust behind...
However, Atofe was indeed an ancient monster who had lived for thousands of years and was a top expert who had experienced the Human-Demon War.
They can calmly respond to sudden attacks.
For a time...
The flashes of swords and the clash of blades never ceased.
Each swing of Eris's sword created gusts of wind.
If an ordinary person were to be brushed against by this gale, their skin and flesh would surely be torn.
But at this moment, Rudeus's attention was not on Eris.
Instead, it landed in Atofe...
On the thunder.
After several intense exchanges, her striking curves rose and fell with her rapid movements.
The stunning scenery captivates the eye.
Eris swung her sword deftly once again.
brush--
Atofe's arm was severed instantly.
Eris immediately looked excitedly at Rudeus, as if expecting his admiring gaze.
However, she noticed that Rudeus wasn't even looking at her.
" Rudeus! What are you looking at?!"
Eris glared angrily at the other person.
Her face immediately turned red...
"You... you pervert! You sex maniac!"
"You just said you'd keep watching me!"
"Aaaaaaah!"
Eris roared angrily:
"The ultimate technique of the Magic Sword Style Style--!"
[ Crimson Lotus Waltz: Blood Blade Funeral Song ]!!
Whoosh whoosh!
Eris's speed suddenly increased, and she instantly became a blur, surrounding Atofe.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp blade flashed!
This time, even if Atofe wanted to escape, it was too late...
Because at this moment, I've already fallen into the opponent's ultimate attack!
Sizzle--!!
Atofe suffered a severe and devastating blow to his entire chest cavity!
The armor covering it was instantly cleaved into pieces, blood and flesh flying everywhere...
(Yes, yes~ That's exactly what I wanted~ Shatter all the armor!) Rudeus couldn't help but feel secretly pleased...
Just as Eris was still basking in the joy of that attack...
Unexpectedly, Atofe chuckled softly:
"Hehe~ Not bad attack..."
"But... how many more times can you use this attack?"
The next instant, the scattered flesh and blood around them coalesced again and began to writhe...
Ultimately, it was rebuilt once again in Atofe...
At this moment, Atofe's upper body was completely unprotected, and the beautiful spring sunshine bathed the world.
Eris was completely dumbfounded and hurriedly shouted:
"Don't look!"
" Rudeus, you're not allowed to look!"
In the next instant, it transformed into afterimages once more, completely surrounding Atofe and whipping up a blood-red whirlwind.
The situation in the battle has become uncertain...
