Episode 27 – Siruntel Demon Lord (4)
27. Ciruntel Demon Lord (4)
The time when Leon was just starting to run to save Celia.
What were Class B, with Billy and Essabel, doing?
“That could be a bit dangerous.”
“No, where on earth do I see that it’s dangerous!”
······They were fighting like crazy.
After falling into the devil’s land.
A sharp argument between Class B representative Essabel and vice-representative Billy that has not ended for five minutes already.
There are different opinions on how to act.
The two arguments were as follows.
Billy: I will lead Class B right now and get out of the demon world by the shortest route.
Esabel: It is clear that other groups have also fallen here, so the priority is to join them and increase our strength.
From the cadets’ perspective, both opinions were plausible.
“I’m not even sure where they are, so how are we going to find them?”
“Even if you’re not sure, you should try it first. At most, it will be around here.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to keep the cadets here safe right now rather than taking risks on things that aren’t certain?”
If you think about it rationally, Billy’s opinion was valid.
Now, after reorganizing the formation.
It is a reasonable decision for the safety of the Class B cadets here to move as far away from the center of the demonic area as possible.
As he said, you can’t gamble on something you’re not sure about.
Of course, this is only when thinking about Class B cadets.
“Then what about the other cadets? “Is there any guarantee that they would have gathered together in groups of 25 like us and metastasized?”
“······.”
“What if one or two people are torn apart? “Maybe they are waiting for someone to rescue them.”
Esabel is the daughter of the royal family that leads the Latia Empire.
She grew up being taught that if she holds a high position, it comes with a certain level of responsibility.
It was impossible for her to just abandon the cadets who were in danger.
So, is Esabel putting Class B cadets at risk for the sake of other class cadets?
Of course not.
Esabel judged that the 25 cadets would be enough to deal with the demonic beasts here.
Especially recently, we have continued training to participate in group battles as part of the successful team.
Also.
“The rescue team will come soon anyway.”
Esabel has no idea that this is a magic world located on the other side of the empire.
She had no doubt that her academy would respond quickly.
As a princess who has lived her whole life, it was her daily routine that when something happened to her, someone immediately took care of it.
“So, all you have to do is rescue the cadets who are in imminent danger and then hold on for a little while.”
Her idea was that by uniting the scattered cadets, they could at least make holding on easier.
“······.”
When Billy saw Essabel’s stern eyes, he resigned.
That is not stubbornness that can be heard as just words.
In fact, this was a controversy that did not occur in the original work.
The minions of Magias, who were originally attacking Siruntel’s Demonic Land, excitedly attacked the cadets, and each of them was anxious to survive.
I didn’t have the power to choose who to save.
However, now that Magias is dead and gone, there is no way for his minions to appear.
Instead.
The Great Devil’s minions were on their way to them.

Among the memories contained in the Mahondan absorbed by Leon.
There was also a memory of a man who was fighting alone against demonic beasts in the magic world.
Judging by his rough swordsmanship, scarred hands and arms, strong muscles strengthened by battle, and the equipment he used.
He was probably a mercenary.
He is also a seasoned veteran.
He immediately recognizes and responds to the monsters’ habits, characteristics, and weaknesses upon seeing them.
Using terrain to attract demonic beasts.
The timing of hitting and exiting, calculating exactly when to rest and when to move, etc.
He skillfully killed the demonic beasts with a single sword.
The memories of such a veteran mercenary were of great help to Leon.
‘Cryvoor’s first attack is always towards the head.’
As soon as Leon saw the humanoid beast that looked like it had tar all over it, he tilted his head.
G-profit!
The sharp blade of his hand grazed his cheek.
I could feel my cheek being torn and cracked and hot liquid flowing down.
‘The weakness is not the head, but the heart.’
Leon thrust his sword in without blinking.
Quad!
The Krai Boer stuck at the tip of the sword twitched, but soon lost its strength and fell limp.
“Whoa!”
Refreshment and deep excitement flooded into Leon.
Battle was always fun for him.
Dizzying attacks that come and go within a split second of dozens of times.
An exhilarating thrill running down your spine when you narrowly avoid it.
The pleasure of seeing a sword strike hit exactly as intended.
The ecstatic taste that comes when you cut through bone and flesh.
Even the feeling of omnipotence when wiping out crowds of enemies with a single sword.
Slaughtering the demonic beasts with superior skills gave me great pleasure.
Of course, having fun is having fun, and Leon was working hard at his job.
Tadat!
“It looks like it’s around there.”
Leon stood on a high hill and measured Celia’s location.
No matter how far you know where she is, it is difficult to find one girl in this wide space.
The method Leon used in such a situation was simple.
Using the habits of magical beasts.
‘It’s just that there are people in places where there are a lot of demons, right?’
Like insects attracted by a sweet scent.
When demon beasts instinctively smell a human, they run towards that place as if possessed.
Human bodies, which can never be found in the demon world, were nothing short of a delicacy to them.
Especially for women, especially young girls, it is the delicacy of delicacies.
Celia was like a platinum coin that fell in the middle of a beggar’s den.
Is that why?
Toward a forest area with sparsely large trees.
Numerous demonic beasts were flocking to one place like a pack of hungry dogs.
“······.”
When Leon saw that number, his smiling face hardened.
Boom!
The spot where Leon was standing caved in, and his new form was transformed into a beam of light and shot out.
* · * *
The blood of all living creatures in the demon world is black.
Celia’s entire body was covered in black.
“Haa…Haa…”
Heavy breathing continued to pour out from between her lips.
“Grrr!”
A two-headed dog sticking out from among the bushes.
The bastard rushed at Celia, drooling between his teeth.
“Hmph!”
Celia then slammed her fist with all her might into the left side of the guy’s head.
Quick!
Immediately, I spun his body around like a top and struck him hard on the right side of the head with a back kick.
Boo!
The monster whose neck bones were twisted fell into a groggy state and staggered.
Celia immediately pushed her bastard down with her foot.
She started hitting both her fists with all her might.
Puck! Puck! Quack! Kujik!
The magic beasts’ vitality was so strong that it took numerous blows to end their lives with bare hands.
Kwasik! Simplicity and honesty! Crack!
Dark red blood flew into the air.
It was a color created by mixing the blood of the demon beast and the blood from Celia’s torn hands.
“Please, just die…!”
Celia continued to swing her fist, enduring the pain of her bones being crushed.

Blood flowing from her torn forehead obstructed her vision.
Quad deuk!
Finally, both cervical vertebrae were severed and he died.
Tap!
Celia started running again without even having time to rest.
If you delay even a little bit, you will be immediately surrounded.
“Ugh!”
Celia frowned at the pain she felt with each step she took.
Her whole body was not healthy.
A deep wound on her left thigh.
Her right waist was bitten off in large chunks.
The area around her shoulder was pierced by her tail, so her left arm could not move very well.
Only major injuries are roughly this size.
Abrasions, large and small, caused by running through the bushes.
Even bruises from being hit here and there.
If she hadn’t been a mid- to low-level expert warrior, it wouldn’t have been surprising if she had collapsed and fainted a long time ago.
“Whoa…Haa…”
Crack, tap, tap!
It’s already been 30 minutes since I ran away from the demon beasts.
I’m still holding on, using the boxing skills I learned from my family to deal with them.
Stamina falling every moment.
The wound is gradually opening.
The number of demonic beasts continues to increase.
Her spirit, Selphia, has long since exhausted all of her spirit power.
She is delirious because she has lost so much blood, and the interval between her inhales is getting shorter.
The situation was truly heading towards the worst.
“Hmph!”
Boom!
But Celia did not give up.
She just sits there and waits to die?
That was never her way.
If she doesn’t have a weapon, she uses both her arms and both legs.
When her arm breaks, she picks up the bone fragments from the broken arm.
Once a limb is cut off, it bites off the enemy’s flesh with its remaining teeth.
To resist and fight until the very end.
That was Muin, Hellbridge, and Celia.
“Two.”
Celia roughly spit out the blood that had accumulated in her mouth.
Several of her broken teeth came out and rolled on the floor.
“······.”
Although she desperately wanted to smoke a cigarette.
Her hands were so wet with her blood that she couldn’t even light a fire.
Doo-doo-doo-doo-
The sound of footsteps approaching and shaking the earth felt disgusting.
Celia clicked her tongue once and moved her body.
Suddenly, a man’s face flashed through his mind.
“······.”
Was it my father?
Was she one of her brothers?
Or······.
······I wasn’t sure.
