We Defeated the Demon and Disbanded Without Any Conflict

85 – Fragments

Charge and retreat, immobility posture.

Even though it was a distinctly different combat method, it was not biased to either side and was tense.

The sound of the horses’ hooves does not stop. The legs in the shape of a horse move without a break. Even so, the demon showed no sign of exhaustion. Rather, it repeated charging, turning, and retreating with the corners of its mouth raised to its ears more lively than before.

It may be said to be simple, but if its power is strong enough to pierce through everything, the derogatory word simple will disappear.

Grind and polish one path. Instead of stretching the entire hexagon, we invested everything in one corner. It was this devil who reached out to the ranks of the strong by selling only one place without any skill.

For him, it had been a long time since he had endured such a long time while facing his attacks head on. How much more human!

Even though it is so fast that it cannot even react with a shooting attack, it blocks it from the front. Having the lower half of a horse, Odrox did not fall back even a single step despite the fundamental difference in size and weight. The fact that both legs were planted on the ground seemed to clearly show his determination not to break or back down.

Even though he gave up his back, he received the attack without retreating an inch. It doesn’t matter where, before, after, left or right.

Even though he received an attack from the devil that crushes the railroad, he does not even flinch, let alone bend.

The devil, who had been fighting like that, caught a peculiar flow of magical power flowing from Odrox’s body.

“You, it seems like magic flows along that tattoo? Is that the reason you blocked my attack?”

“Can you afford to talk in a life and death battle?”

The devil’s question remained unanswered. It was because Odrox didn’t answer him and pulled his legs out of the ground and approached him.

He looks like a reversal hero moving after finishing all preparations.

His movements give the demon a hint of anticipation of a real fight.

But that’s for a while. The demon’s movements stiffened for a moment at the unusual spirit that radiated from Odrox’s body.

“Ha… ha, what is that hideous magic power? Did you at least look after it?”

Obviously different from before. Why does a human who exchanged battles and battles on an equal footing with you seem to be on a higher level than you now?

Apparently, the demon, who had the feeling that he was looking up even though he was looking down, groaned and prepared to charge. There could be no act of frightening and running away in his dictionary. In a fleeting moment, the devil recalled the powerful enemies he had faced so far.

Fear became the fuel and tension became the driving force, so there were more than enough resources to move the body.

heart beats fast Magi, their own resource different from humans, circulate through their bodies.

There was almost no concentration of demonic energy here, so it was not possible to exert full power, but the breath that contained the demonic energy that he continued to exhale helped at least.

They will attack whether they live or die. Because I fought like that, and I won like that. I couldn’t change this way now.

I shook off the tension that came from my instincts and played with my feet. The interval between the sound of a horse’s hoof hitting the ground gradually decreases. The crackling sound is compressed over and over again to produce a heavy, quick contradictory sound. The demon lunged at Odrox, cutting through the frigid air.

Turn right in front of him.

My legs, knees and hooves felt grinding, but that’s okay. If only one room was properly fed.

It moves. In order not to stop accelerating, it continued to run as if it were circulating around a circle.

Blood drawn from the heart goes to the legs.

speed gradually increases This meant that his attacks would also become stronger.

Being cornered is the greatest opportunity for growth. someone said

The devil realized at this moment whether the sentence was true or not. Among the attacks he has ever launched, he was able to boast that it was the most refined-.

The demon that ran far away turns around and runs towards Odrox. The momentum grew as it grew, but never seemed to diminish.

Odrox threw down his shield and clenched his fists. The thick tattoos all over her body shone in a deep blue color close to black.

‘If I had a knife, it would have been easier, but this isn’t as bad as it is.’

Odrox let out a bit of regret and stretched out his fist.

Ordinary, ordinary administration.

However, its power was far from ordinary, and the devil’s eyes instantly turned white.

Did it emit light? It was not.

It was a defeat in a head-to-head match.

The devil, who was pushed away from the collision without retreating an inch, was hit directly by Odrox’s fist, which continued to extend at the same speed as it was running.

Fracture? Visceral rupture? That would be good enough.

The demon’s upper and lower bodies were separated. Literally, it was a story that the waist of an existence far beyond a human trained in simple punches was completely cut off.

The last thing the conscious demon’s eyes saw was a pure white background with snow piled up neatly.

I can’t hear the sound of hooves.

No, maybe my consciousness is drifting away.

oh it’s so damn strong

For the devil who wanted an equal fight and his own victory, this time the opponent was outside the standard.

Since I’m from the remote area, there must have been demons stronger than me. But will they be able to defeat this man even if they come? No, can I deal with it?

Without answering such questions, the devil died.

thud. The devil’s upper body, which flew through the sky with a sound, was buried in the snow.

Odrox approached the demon’s corpse with tattoos still glowing blue…

bang-

bang-

bang-

bang-

The corpse was beaten mercilessly to the point that it was completely turned into porridge. It was a confirmed kill that his comrade-in-arms, the skirmisher, emphasized every time that it was a ‘must do’.

The ground was smeared red with the blood spurted out by corpses that didn’t even have a proper shape left. Snow piles up on top of it, erasing the color of the land that was painted in primary colors.

‘What Sola said was true.’

At the time, Odrox was dubious about Solar’s words, but now he believes them.

The world is wide, so there might be a race with this appearance, but even feeling the subtle magic of his breath, he couldn’t say it wasn’t a demon. It’s a shame because he only dealt with one guy. If more demons came and attacked at once, let alone victory, he would have had to suffer endlessly while waiting for support that might come at any time.

Odrox frowned once and glanced at the top of the mountain where he first encountered the demon. Rather than withdrawing from here because it’s annoying, I thought it would be better to pack up the loot I could take.

He climbed the mountain and put the broken orb fragments into a small bag. The voice that had been coming directly into my head was no longer audible.

Let’s pass this on when we meet our colleagues again later.

He started exploring the mountains again. Without knowing that the mountain he was stepping on was itself a labyrinth called the Devil’s Land.

Your wife has returned. He came with food packed, so I rushed over and accepted it instead. If you have to buy this much, I’ll even use you as a porter. Why did I tell you to stay here? Anyway, my role now is my wife’s cooking teacher, and this was something I could do without Odrox.

After all, O’Drox is in the position to eat, so I wondered if it would be necessary as a tasting role, but first of all, it is also necessary to know the wife’s skills.

So, I asked for a dish that can be made with the current ingredients to try to figure it out.

.. My hand movements were awkward. The preparation of the ingredients, the choice of spices, and the cooking method all felt awkward. This awkwardness didn’t mean ‘I can’t do it’. So, for some reason, it felt like I was acting.

I wasn’t sure what I was thinking. But, as is always the case with doubt, once a seed is planted, it grows rapidly even if it is left alone.

My wife started to lead the conversation, wondering if there was something awkward about the current situation where she was alone with me. Even while we were talking nonsense like that, my head started to feed the seeds of doubt that were planted in my head by grabbing the pods in the middle of each conversation.

“At first I was really scared because I had a lot of tattoos.”

“I don’t have that feeling.”

“I still don’t know why I got so many tattoos.”

“Didn’t you tell me?”

At that, the wife nodded. This is unexpected. O’Drox tells people close to him about tattoos.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

No, it’s not that kind of problem. In the first place, the people of Odrox’s territory would know everything about this tattoo. Even if you were just walking around outside right now, there would be a lot of people wearing distinctive tattoos on their bodies.

“Are you from another region?”

“Ah. Yes. I’m from another country.”

So you didn’t know? Then why didn’t Odrox tell me? I questioned it, but soon denied the question itself.

In the first place, I don’t know all of Odrox’s human relationships, so no matter how friendly I am, there may be cases where I haven’t talked about the tattoo.

Even so, you didn’t explain it to your partner for the rest of your life. It may be far-fetched, but I should explain instead.

“That’s probably a device that allows you to use magic power efficiently. You see a lot of people here with tattoos, right?”

“Ah, yes. Eh? Magical power? Mr. Odrox uses magic…”

“That tattoo is a unique type of magic. It will be easier to understand if you think of it as body-strengthening magic. They say that the more you take hits, the stronger you become.”

This was just a tip I heard, so I can’t explain in detail.

Solar tilted her head and didn’t say anything clearly, and Odrox didn’t explain the principles of her magic either.

Anyway, there’s no need to be so scared- When I finished, my wife nodded. Cooking continues in a slightly relaxed atmosphere.

The awkward movements that felt contrived were still the same, and the occasional misuse of a few spices tried to harm the fundamental harmony of flavors. He showed a bit of hesitation about whether he didn’t have confidence, so when I said it was something else, he was surprised and picked up another one.

It is said that it is the same color powder, but it is distinctly separated in different barrels. Can it be wrong? Even if you didn’t write the name on the barrel, it was all the more strange that you didn’t know because you could open it once and smell it or taste it by dipping it with your finger.

The small doubt that bloomed in my head blooms and bears fruit. I couldn’t help it, and I was about to open my mouth to say something suspicious, when O’Drox opened the door and came in.

It’s just fine. Odrox is here too, so we should be able to get the right information. I tried to open my mouth, but O’Drox hit the head and spoke first.

“Devil.”

in a very serious voice.

“what?”

“The devil came out.”

“where?”

“This is a nearby mountain range.”

“Did you win?”

“I won. I brought something unusual.”

Saying that, Odrox took out a fragment. It looked like an eggshell, but it felt different from that. So, it felt similar to what I found among the rubble after digging through the plate maze.

“..how are you going to do that?”

“I’m trying to have it for now.”

“Can you give it to me? I’m going to ask Solar.”

“Al-Solar.. Aren’t you trusting Al-Solar too much?”

“Are you sure you can trust me on this side? There’s no other suitable expert.”

The word devil worshiper flashes through my mind, but getting close to such lunatics only hurts me. It would be the wisest choice to leave it to Solar here.

Odrox hesitated for a moment, as if pondering, but then slowly handed the fragment to me. I felt a little strange because it was a gesture of not trusting me, but I pretended to be fine.

I felt like if I just said, ‘Your wife is suspicious’, it would only instill more distrust in me.

yes. This is Odrox’s business, so I’m not going to interfere. It would be best to just stick to the role as originally asked.

Even though the house was warm, for some reason, my body shuddered and I felt cold. He may have been overwhelmed by the atmosphere of Odrox.
