"You're really out of your mind."
What are the odds that you can leap several kilometers in an instant and land a precise punch?
The speed and strength are impressive, but Sloan clearly has a wild instinct. How else could he land a punch with such precision?
"Sloan, you fucking bitch…! What are you doing!"
It is understandable to be surprised by Sloan's sudden and impulsive action.
As soon as that woman heard Riley say there was a Demon King, she jumped forward and threw a punch.
'Let's start with hiding.'
The priority is to hide your presence. You're like a bitch. If that's the case, why are you having a party? Go alone.
Because of that, all my plans have been ruined. I can feel my irritation rising.
"Let's follow for now. Teleport!"
Luckily, we had Camilla. She had gained several levels of power while on an adventure, so she was more than happy to perform the difficult teleportation spell.
She had achieved in an instant what the ogre wizards under Ukr Heizen had trained and practiced for their entire lives.
So as soon as the group was teleported, Elisa summoned the two spirits she was handling.
"Help Sloan!"
Spirits of fire and water. Although they are so small, they are the elements themselves.
This means that you can affect objects just by touching them, and there is no need to consume any magic power.
The fire spirit inflated its body to a large size and swallowed Palat. The attack was even more fatal because Sloan had suddenly struck it and it had not yet regained consciousness.
[Ugh…! Where did the fire start out of nowhere…!]
Next was the water spirit. As the flames rose, the creature shrank back down into a smaller body.
Then, like slime, it stuck to Palat's face, dug into his nose and mouth, and blocked his respiratory system.
"Oh! That's a spirit. It's more useful than I thought?"
Meanwhile, Sloan swung his gleaming holy sword in a great swing. The iron chunk that tore through the air did not even consider the surrounding objects as obstacles.
The aftermath alone caused twisted trees to snap. Dozens of giant trees were uprooted, and clods of earth exploded out.
[Haram! Are you just going to watch? Damn it, she ate Valytics! You're not asking me to catch that cannibalistic bitch who devours her own kind by myself, are you?! Even though I say we don't have any love for our own kind—!]
[I was trying to help just now.]
It may have been possible to unilaterally capture and defeat Palat, but the other three Demon Lords would not leave it alone. They each displayed their own unique abilities and subdued Sloan.
[Let's deal with that gorilla first. Banish him from subspace!]
"Ouch… !"
Of all people, I've met the most troublesome one. A person with the ability to banish objects to another place for about 5 minutes.
It's a similar ability to the Lich who had his own unique world that I met before. The difference is that even Sloan, who had excellent magic resistance, couldn't stop him.
[With this, the annoying gorilla is taken care of.]
Five minutes from now. Sloan is trapped in subspace. In other words, our party is all but wiped out.
'I guess I could just leave it like this…'
That won't do. It's satisfying to think about Camilla and Elisa dying, but before that, some of them have to die.
So I threw the dagger forward. My newly awakened unique ability. As it was thrown, I swapped positions with the blade and quickly dug into the men.
[100 million…!]
While in hiding, I used my dagger to cut the spine of my compatriot who had used 'Subspace Banishment'. The bastard let out a groan of pain and stumbled forward, falling down.
At the same time, Sloan, who had been banished to this space, was freed again. She seemed dizzy, her head swaying, and she threw a punch at Palat.
[That's ridiculous.]
However, the opponent is Palat. His unique ability is 'Shock Wave'. He has the ability to absorb all physical elements he receives and then release them again.
Having already been hit once by Sloan, Palat activated his unique ability and dealt a considerable amount of damage to her flying body.
"Huh!"
Sloan stumbled backwards, coughing up blood, perhaps because he had been hit by his own attack, even if it was not the other way around. It must have been difficult to dodge.
Another demon lord rushed in to finish off Sloan, who was still spewing blood from his mouth. He had a viciously spinning saw blade in his hand.
"Teleport! Heal Sloan! I'll block the way ahead!"
[This is too much nonsense to just let pass!]
A huge wave of flame engulfed the area in an instant. It was as if the heat was burning the world.
[Kuaaaah!]
The compatriot who was engulfed in flames fell backwards with burns all over his body. It was obviously a fatal wound. He kept twisting his body and struggling, but his head was pierced by Elisha's arrow that came flying late.
In this way, one of his own kind was murdered.
[How dare they!]
The guy who stabbed me in the spine got up again after recovering from his injuries. He tried to activate subspace banishment again, but I stopped him by sticking my dagger into his neck.
[Crunch.]
The sound of gasping breath. I killed another of my own kind with my own hands. Of course, if the situation had been perfect, it would have been impossible. He should have used all means possible to kill me, who was invisible, not Sloan.
"Good job, Valley!"
Now that the intruder was gone, Sloan was healed by Riley and rushed back to kill Palat.
The pain must still be the same? But she didn't look that hurt. Rather, she seemed to be enjoying herself, smiling broadly and extending her left fist forward.
"Do that again! It hurt a little bit, didn't it? I mean, to the point where I threw up my insides."
Palat, who was hit directly in the abdomen, twisted his body and opened his mouth wide, intending to absorb and release the shock wave again.
'It's an opportunity.'
The moment I get hit by Palatine again, I'm going to slit Sloan's throat.
Then Haram will subdue Camilla. Then Elisha will inevitably be defeated.
'I won…! With this, I will end this annoying bad relationship.'
It was a situation where I had no choice but to win. I slowly moved forward, absorbing the power of my two dead comrades. To cut off Sloan's head.
[…There you are! You little rat! Soul detection!]
"What."
Hey, what are you doing! Stay still!
[Is this stealth? I can see where it's going. By the way, are these guys stealing Valytics' abilities too…? The warrior's unique ability is ability copy… .]
[Haram! I will stop this place! I must spread this news to my people!]
[What? Don't talk nonsense. You're the one making the sacrifice, of all people.]
Yeah, Imma! What kind of sacrifice is the Demon King making? You're talking nonsense that's not even funny!
[They ate Valytics… This is not right. Even though they are the worst of the worst trash among their kind! The Demon King being eaten! This is unacceptable!]
[…!]
Haram made a really impressed expression. This is really absurd. Are they all going through menopause and female hormones are flowing out of their pituitary glands?
[I'll take care of you first!]
The spirits flowing from the corpses of dead compatriots gathered together and created a skull-shaped magic bullet.
That's dangerous! I quickly threw the dagger, but… the magic bullet of resentment hit my body faster.
'Fucked….'
The crisp sound of bones breaking. I ended up hearing a sound that I shouldn't have heard.
A bunch of ribs were gone. Damn it. For a moment, my eyes turned red.
I might die if I'm not careful. I've suffered such severe damage that even my regenerative abilities can't handle it.
[That's right! You dare use your own kind's abilities in front of me? Go to the afterlife and apologize to Valytics!]
That Valytics is me! I fell from Palat through a stray dagger. But this… If I don't get it healed right away, I might die.
"Valley!"
"Keep going… . Knock knock! Knock knock!"
Luckily, Riley was there. I won't die. Spitting blood from my mouth, I released my hiding place and received healing.
"This can't be happening… The wound is too big! Sloan, this… For now. I'll take Valley and retreat!"
"Okay! I'll leave it to you."
Thank goodness Riley was here. I closed my eyes in relief.
When I wake up, Riley will have healed my wounds neatly. What worries me is that my people can sense my presence.
Damn it! I don't have the luxury of even thinking about that.
Eventually, I passed out, waiting for this moment to end quickly.
