112 – Eve (4)
The next day.
The Demon King’s army rushes towards the walls of the Ross family, as if they had been waiting for this moment.
The knights swallowed their saliva as they looked at those demons.
-Gulp!
Demons flocking in like a swarm of ants.
They will probably be killed by those demons soon.
When I thought about that, I felt even more nervous.
That time when all the knights had stern expressions.
– Jeopuk. Jeez.
A neat step rang out among the knights.
Let’s roll our eyes to see whose steps it is.
“Whoa…”
It must have been Eve, one of the daughters of the Ross family.
Eve is called the greatest genius of all time.
Her talent is so overwhelming that some say it may have been given to her by God.
She is now walking leisurely towards the Demon Lord.
Her knights were all puzzled as they looked at her.
‘Why are you coming forward?’
Now that the head of the family is mortally wounded, she is the one who can be called the leader.
She is now in the vanguard.
Just as someone was about to hit him in the mouth first.
-Whaaah!
Eve begins to emit a massive aura.
For a moment, the movement of the monsters stopped due to her aura.
However, not long after that, they move again.
Eve grabbed the handle of her sword, paying no heed to the monsters’ reactions.
Soon, the sword was removed from her scabbard.
-Whoa!
She swung her sword sideways as if she was swinging her feet.
Next moment.
-Woah!
For a moment, the battlefield was covered with aura.
Just like that, the light of the auror disappears.
The moment when the knights slowly open their eyes.
“Huh?”
“What, what is it?”
“Crazy.”
More than half of the Demon King’s army that was rushing towards this place had disappeared.
Half of the sword disappeared with just one swing of the sword.
The knights quietly turned their gaze to Eve with eyes full of respect.

Then, Eve opens her mouth.
“Everyone must be afraid of death.”
“”······.””
“But behind you, there is a family you are trying to protect! Just think that if you get pierced, your family will die!”
The moment they heard those words, the knights’ eyes changed.
Everyone’s morale rose just because they said that if they don’t protect this place now, their family will die.
Eve does not miss that and continues.
“And behind you is the Ross family! So don’t be afraid and protect the walls with all your might!”
With those words, Eve ran towards the rapidly approaching demon lord army.
At the same time, he recalled the operation he had discussed with Elric yesterday.
***
Eve shed tears while being hugged by Elric.
Is it because I sobbed too much?
Now I’m starting to feel embarrassed.
‘Ugh… When should I come out?’
I lost his timing to come out because I kept relying on him.
It’s not bad to be hugged by him like this now, but it can’t be like this forever.
That’s when she was worried inside.
“Have you calmed down a little?”
Elric asks in a voice full of worry.
Eve slowly lowered her head.
“Yes…”
“Thank goodness.”
Elric quietly separates himself while saying that.
I thought it was a bit disappointing, but it shouldn’t be like this.
The shock that his brother was a traitor was so great that he forgot about it for a while, but he had to do something about it right now.
Otherwise, I don’t know how things will turn out.
“Have you thought of a response in advance, Elric?”
“Ah, not in detail, but I have thought about it to some extent.”
“Can you tell me a story?”
“Yes. The first thing is for Eve to show her strength to her allies. The morale of our troops will definitely drop at first. “Because the enemy is so numerous.”
You can definitely tell just by looking at it from a distance.
How much effort did the Demon King’s army put into this matter?
“If Eve demonstrates her power there, the morale of our troops will definitely rise.”
“I see…”
“Yes. And the moment your allies’ morale rises, you have to clash with the Demon Lord’s army. “Otherwise, there will be little chance of our soldiers’ morale going up.”
“Hmm. But then, wouldn’t my stamina drop a lot? “No matter how much I show my strength, my stamina will be severely drained.”
“Yes. So this is the second time for that.”
Elric tells the backstory while saying that.
After hearing his entire explanation, Eve made an expression of understanding.
“Surely then it will be possible to catch you and all the executives. All right. “I will trust and follow Elric.”
With those words in the end, the two planned their plan in more detail just in case.
***
Come back to the present.
Eve cut down the monsters rushing towards us.
Maybe because there are so many of them, there is no end in sight even though they are killed all at once.
‘I’m glad Jukchang helped me recover.’
In fact, one of the second operations he mentioned was recovery.
Of course, the power she showed in the first place cannot be used carelessly.
If you’re not careful, won’t all your stamina be discharged?
However, her bamboo spear that turned into her bracelet quietly restored her.
Of course, not completely.
No matter how hard she was, it would take a long time for her to fully recover, so she only helped her recover to a certain extent.
‘I went straight to Elric now.’
I looked at her arm quietly.
Sure enough, the bracelet disappeared before I knew it.
It is clear that he went to Elric.
‘Anyway, now I just have to wait for my brother to get caught in the trap.’
With that thought in mind, Eve proceeded to deal with the charging demons.
***
Same time.
Harin, who was watching the situation from behind, was mesmerized for a moment without realizing it.
‘I knew that guy was strong, but…’
I could never have imagined that half of the Demon King’s army could be eliminated.
The number is roughly in the tens of thousands.
More than half of them were eliminated with just one attack.
But.
‘I guess I can’t keep using it as expected.’
If she had been able to do that, the Demon King’s army would have been annihilated long ago.
However, as expected, it does not show such an overwhelming appearance after the first time.
It seems that it consumes a lot of stamina to use it once.
‘It’s unexpected that half of the power is gone.’
But it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, the Demon King’s henchmen are not very important to this plan.
No. It is no exaggeration to say that these guys made a big deal out of this plan from the beginning.
Isn’t their goal to lose Eve’s stamina?
‘Then now we have to lure Eve into the forest.’
Thinking like that, I urgently shouted to Eve, who was going crazy.
“Eve!”
“Yes! Brother!”
“I can feel a huge demonic energy in that forest right now! It looks like there is an executive! Let’s go and solve it!”
“I understand!”
Eve follows him without a single doubt.
He was elated inside and ran towards where Kind was.
Then after a while.
“You’re finally here.”
“That’s right.”
The Demon King’s alter ego and Kind were reflected in the field of view.
Now, if everything goes according to plan, it will be perfect.
***
Same time.
Elric smiled to himself as he looked at the two people running towards him.
‘It’s going as I thought. Also.’
-That’s right, master.
Now Harin thinks she has lured her Eve, but she is not in fact that.
The reason she came here on purpose was to catch those two guys off guard.
Otherwise, Kind, who understands the situation, can use the transfer scroll to escape.
‘Just looking at it, I guess that’s why I was able to run away from Shinji.’
At that time when Elric was thinking like that.
“I finally found it.”
Harin glares at herself and Kind with her beaky eyes.
Just by looking at his eyes, you can’t help but think that this kid is really a traitor.
-Paaat!
The next moment, he and Eve rush towards this direction.
Like that, Kind and I easily avoided the two men’s attacks.
No. To be precise, they are just matching each other’s allies.
‘Hmm. We can’t just pretend to keep fighting like this.’
The longer time goes on, the more allies will die.
I quietly glanced at Harin.
Then, Harin’s eyes met hers and she nodded.
At the same time.
-Whoop!
Harin attacks Eve without a moment of hesitation.
However, Eve avoided it by lowering her head as if she had expected it.
“What?”
Harin opens her eyes wide at this unexpected situation.
Not only she was surprised, but Kind was also surprised.
Eve looks at Harin like that and narrows her eyes.
“Oppa? What are you doing? Why the sudden surprise attack?”
“···Tsk! “I just wish I could have died without pain.”
Harin seems to have seen it right away, probably because she was caught.
Soon, he continues speaking.
“It doesn’t matter now anyway. As you can see, I started serving the Demon King here a long time ago. Well, it would be better to show rather than tell.”
Harin begins to emit magical energy.
The moment Eve saw that, she looked genuinely surprised.
I only heard he was a traitor, but I guess I didn’t expect him to have demonic energy.
“No further explanation is needed… Hey!”
In a split second, Eve runs away without hesitation, just as planned.
Kind and Harin chase after her, not expecting her to run away.
The two guys turned to me like that.
Perhaps it’s because they’re completely caught off guard, so if you attack them like this, you’re guaranteed to inflict fatal wounds even if you can’t.
‘Then let’s end it now.’
Thinking like that, the moment when I was about to make a surprise attack.
-Wow!
Suddenly, space begins to open in front of us.
What is it? Space suddenly opens up?
That time when everyone is puzzled.
“Huh? “Why am I here?”
The Demon King’s alter ego appeared before my eyes.
No. Why are you here now?
