Chapter 131 – Demon Bane
The hell that descended on the human race was beyond the mountain.
— Thump, thump!
What should I call this monstrosity? It was so disgusting that even I, who had witnessed all sorts of horrible scenes while rolling across the battlefield, felt nauseated.
Masses of shredded and twisted flesh coalesce to form a giant.
Humans, beasts, and monsters.
Creatures that must have lived their own lives on earth not too long ago. It was the dark tentacles made of demonic energy that forcibly bound and bound their bodies.
What’s even more terrifying than anything is that the creatures that became the material for the giants are still alive and wriggling and complaining of pain.
“Kill me, kill me…!”
“Kong, kuh-huong!”
“Kyaaaaagh!”
Fragments of the clamor of countless creatures can be heard very faintly.
The grievous reverberation, which would have covered the entire mountain range originally, does not resonate according to the providence of nature, but instead rushes into the giant’s snout and is refined as a heinous weapon.
— ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ !
Yes, that is the identity of the roar that tormented the allies so much.
It was no mistake that I felt that it was somehow similar to the cry of a wounded beast.
I didn’t feel any mental pleasure from the prediction that came true in a very twisted way.
Instead, what began to boil in his chest was unbearable anger.
“These are…”
In the territory of the empire, which was protected by countless sacrifices over the years and with the blood of countless people on these hands.
My lovers, my acquaintances, His Majesty the Emperor, and the countless people of the Empire, dare to do such a thing in the land where they live?
Could never forgive
—Uuuuu… !
The mana core vibrates violently. It is 100 percent that it draws out.
A huge amount of mana that was recognized directly by the master, who was not anyone else, and was said to have reached the realm of the strange beyond human limits.
—Doo-kung, doo-kung, doo-kung!
When it is triggered all at once, the power that was dormant in the danjeon bursts forth, injecting unprecedented vitality into the whole body.
Just in time, the altitude that continued to rise reached the breaking point, and I felt damp at the tip of my head slightly touching the clouds.
“I’ll explode it at once.”
Thanks to that, he chews on the cold bloody intent to kill that emerges from his cold head, pulls out the great sword on his back, and aims it at the flesh giant.
The point of the sword is aimed at the devil’s mouth.
—Koo-goo-goo… !
He turned his body upside down and pointed his sword at the ground.
Covers the whole body with a sharp aura to increase destructive power. The state of the new sword union where the sword and I become one. Put it into practice literally.
And, after engraving the image deep in my heart once again that I would definitely bring him to his knees.
I spur the air with all my strength and descend toward the ground.

Retreat?
If I hadn’t known anything, I certainly would have if it hadn’t caught my eye.
However, as long as he knew it, as long as he saw the injustice right in front of his eyes, that was not allowed to the knight.
—Suaaaaagh!
The aura that was wrapped around the whole body was heated up due to friction with the air, and the flames soared. I never thought I would experience firsthand phenomena that I only saw in astronomy books. Feelings are new.
My gaze, which has become a single sword, is fixed on the giant who calmly advances one step forward.
It’s like I don’t even know what’s going on in my head.
Well, you’ll be forced to know in less than a second.
About 100 meters forward to the target,
50 meters,
And, in front of you.
I finish the order that I couldn’t give because I jumped into the air right now.
“All, charge!”
However, it was a little disappointing that the giant’s howl returned before the shouts of his subordinates.
“Ohhhhh…?!”
The flesh giant’s head is nothing more than a heinous and crude imitation imitated with the flesh of many living beings rather than a proper head.
There’s no way a guy like that would have a face.
However, the moment just before the tip of the sword touches. At first glance, it seems that he was showing something similar to bewilderment.
And that was his last.
—Tuqaaaaagh!
Huge explosion sound.
It was because a huge amount of Aura and Magi collided and caused a reaction. The colossal impact of the combined power of gravity and mana transforms into overwhelming physical force.
“Booooo!”
Thud! It was the sound of his knees kneeling.
I could feel the intensity and repulsive force that I couldn’t believe that it was a living being, but it was just a lump of flesh.
If you fall into a trance, the perceived speed of the flowing time will slow down. So quickly that it is difficult to perceive even with the senses of a knight who uses a single second with tens or hundreds of times the efficiency of others.
The tip of the sword mercilessly digs into his cursed body, and my aura and image mercilessly crush demons.
Then the creepy tentacles lose their power and droop. Soon after, the flesh giant’s body, which lost its solidarity, was shattered and his fragments flew into the sky.
—Kwaaang!
Then, a huge blade descending from the air finally touched the ground.
A gigantic crater that was formed at the place where the sword was planted, with a radius of 100 meters. Even after the flesh giant is shattered, the enormous amount of impact that remains still causes an earthquake.
Of course, since I fell to the ground, the reaction was my only responsibility.
— Deed deed… !
The aftermath of the shock made me unable to open my eyes for a moment. The body that has been trained to the limit is screaming at the master, asking what the hell are you doing.
And after a while
“…It’s nothing.”
When I was able to raise my head, I muttered that without thinking, but it seems that the action just now was a little too much for me.
My body is also a bit sore. I turn my neck and shoulders to warm up, but I hear a thud.
—Patter…
Could it be because he put into practice what was close to the idea of a madman? It seems that the durability of the armor that protected my body has run out. There was even the sound of pieces of iron falling to the floor, so there was no need to say anything more.
I think I can hear the grim voice of old man Eitri, who is angry at me for breaking it again.
‘This… ‘
At this point, of course, I was worried about the sword, so I glanced over my fingertips, but fortunately the sword was fine.
—Goooh…
The figure of the sword, heated red by the heat of friction, exuding an ink-colored glow, showing off its strength. Rather, it seemed to be more solid than before.
To be honest, I was even prepared to destroy it. It was very strange.
Is it because it is a sword made of meteorite alloy? It must have endured the process of falling from space to the ground, so maybe it is natural that it is fine.
The name of the sword that I couldn’t decide easily and put off for a long time now comes to mind.
It was time to give it a name. I mean, you’ve done a pretty great job.
“Demon Bane. Yes, that would be nice.”
The meaning of the name is one who destroys demons. This sword, from now on, is the sword that cuts down demons.
After naming his beloved sword, he was very happy.
“What?”
I suddenly frowned and raised my head. It was because he felt obvious popularity around him.
It’s also very unpleasant.
“…”
What comes instead of an answer is silence.
Funny thing. If so, please visit me directly. I smiled and looked around.
The place where I am now is the Argon Territory, a basin terrain surrounded by mountains on all sides.
This place, which was supposed to be a peaceful frontier village in the mountains of Bondi, was completely in chaos.
Small forts and castle walls were completely harpooned, and even the houses and buildings that were barely maintaining their shape seemed to have long since become toys for monsters.
Besides, the fragments of the flesh giant were scattered all over the place, so it was completely different from hell.
… When I looked at it from above, it didn’t seem to be ruined this far, but it must be because of my mood.
— Kwajik!
“Kikiiik!”
“Poor things. Now rest in peace.”
I stepped forward, silencing the few still wriggling fragments of flesh.
Come to think of it, if the culprit was completely eliminated, the saintess who was being targeted would naturally be safe.
I don’t know why I didn’t come up with this easy solution before.
Is it because the war ended and his temper died a lot, and he became dull in many ways? It was very cool after I had done it. I don’t know why I was worried about retreating until a while ago.
“Reveal yourselves obediently. Otherwise, I’ll kill you right away.”
And, let’s finally reach the temple of Argon Territory, where only the skeleton remains after being burned.
“Oh my gosh… I didn’t expect the lead actor to be so ignorant and strong. Only then will the completeness of the play be disrupted.”
One of the bastards, wearing a black hood all the way over her head, sat atop a broken Celestial Statue and started talking wildly.
It was a really irritating speech. Why the hell are you talking like me?
“The plot I had prepared was more gruesome, sad, and cruel than this one. To think that a titan created with so much effort would face such a miserable situation! Ahh! What should I do with this…”
— Kwajik!
Unable to bear it, I immediately swung my fist and crushed his skull.
“You, where the hell did you learn that habit?”
