It was a direct order from the Devil King!
Among the Devil King's army, there was a highly talented seer. Some time ago, he prophesied the emergence of a holy light that even the Devil King felt threatened by, and that light appeared in Axel. In fact, the holy light appeared a second time!
This made the Devil King unable to sit still! First, he sent a high-level demon, Host, as a member of a scouting team to investigate. However, there was no news from Host, and he was instead defeated by someone. This shocked the entire Devil King's army.
Finally, even the Devil King's General, Verdia, was forced to come personally to investigate!
"It seems that one of those holy lights is you, isn't it!? Powerful holy priestess! At first, I underestimated you, but it turns out I, Verdia, still underestimated you further. You possess such terrifying holy power, even a goddess might not be this powerful!?"
Verdia's head, resting on the throne, stared in disbelief at Eris, who was radiating a holy aura!
"Instead of spouting nonsense, let's finish this battle quickly, shall we!?"
Ethan didn't care how shocked Verdia was. The Demon Sword gathered magical energy and swung toward the severely injured undead knight!
"Light of Saber (Darkness)—!"
*BOOM!*
A black light sword swept toward the undead knight. Those already severely injured by Eris's holy purification magic couldn't even withstand it and were sent flying like trash!
"Yunyun!"
"Understood!"
At Ethan's call, Yunyun also gathered powerful magical energy. In her hands, a force similar to Ethan's Light of Saber (Darkness) appeared!
"Light of Saber!"
A brilliant golden light sword emerged from Yunyun's hand, carrying a force that made the surrounding atmosphere tremble, and it directly targeted the undead knight who had been thrown by Ethan's Light of Saber (Darkness)!
*SWOOSH!*
The undead knight, equivalent to a high-level adventurer, was sliced into pieces by Yunyun's 'Light of Saber'!
This might seem unbelievable, but upon reflection, it's not strange.
'Light of Saber' is one of the high-level spells with extraordinary destructive power!
Its strength can even cut through the Devil King's castle barriers!
With Yunyun's profession as an Arch Wizard, the 'Light of Saber' she used was far more powerful than Ethan's 'Light of Saber (Darkness)', which required the Demon Sword to activate!
Moreover, the undead knight was already severely injured by Eris's holy purification magic and then struck by Ethan.
So, that's what happened—the undead knight was cut in two by Yunyun!
"Are you surprised!? Your title as the Devil King's General might cry, you know~!"
"Light of Saber (Darkness)—!"
A black light sword directly aimed at Verdia's headless body!
*BANG!*
However, the Light of Saber, which was so powerful it could even split a high-level demon, was successfully blocked by Verdia's massive sword with a swift strike!
"Using Slash, this isn't just a human adventurer's right; creatures like us can also learn such skills!"
These were Verdia's words as he successfully blocked Ethan's Light of Saber with 'Slash'.
And these words made Ethan's expression grow even more tense!
Because he could feel that the power of Verdia's massive sword attacking him was continuously increasing!
*WHOOSH!*
"Purification!"
Holy white light directly struck Verdia's headless body, covering it in burn marks, and the head on the throne let out a roar of anger!
"Groarr—! Don't underestimate a knight's resolve!"
Chain Attack!
The massive sword was raised, and then with extraordinary force, Verdia slashed toward Ethan!
Feeling the strong wind that could even injure his cheek before the sword touched him, Ethan knew that if he didn't do something, in one second he would be split like the undead knight before!
"Slash!"
This time, 'Slash' was used by Ethan. With the Demon Sword, he attacked with incredible speed and strength!
*BANG!*
The massive sword and the Demon Sword clashed, and both were sent flying due to their respective powers!
However, the massive sword, after being repelled, immediately attacked again with even greater force than before!
"There's still another attack!? Don't underestimate me, you bastard!"
"Light of Saber (Darkness)!"
*BOOM!*
The Demon Sword returned to Ethan, colliding with the massive sword!
Yet, this time the result was still a draw, and the massive sword didn't lose its power, gathering even greater strength than the three previous attacks and slashing toward Ethan!
"Damn! There's still a third attack!?"
With his strength not yet recovered and no time to gather new power, Ethan could only grit his teeth and fight again with the Demon Sword!
*CRACK!*
The Demon Sword was cut by the massive sword!
Yes, the Demon Sword, which could even make a high-level demon surrender, was now cut!
And Ethan had no time to mourn. Using the momentum from his sword, he leaped backward!
But...
"It's not over yet!"
An attack stronger than the three previous ones split the atmosphere and directly aimed at Ethan, who was mid-air!
Just the wind from the attack was enough to tear apart the sturdy floor!
Even from a considerable distance, Ethan could feel the force like a scythe of death!
"I won't die that easily!"
In his deep black eyes, there was a hint of madness. Ethan pulled out 'Gram' from his back!
"Slash—!"
Ethan used 'Gram' as a weapon, unleashing an attack faster and stronger than 'Light of Saber (Darkness)'!
*BOOM!*
This time, their clash not only exploded the air but also shattered the floor beneath their feet!
"Light of Saber—!"
At that moment, a golden light sword that split the atmosphere appeared, and its target was the head on the throne!
"Targeting this? A good plan, but unfortunately..."
A warhorse undead of unknown origin carried the head on its back, defying gravity by running along the wall!
*WHOOSH!*
The Light of Saber cut the throne and the wall behind it in half!
