How to Live As a Returnee Munchkin Swordsman

Chapter 34

34 – Beast Stalker (1)

What is the difference between a demon and a demon?

You can find a lot if you go into detail, but the biggest differences end up narrowing down to two.

The first is that the demon is a unique entity.

Unlike monsters that are constantly created through cracks and have a very large number, only ‘one entity’ exists.

It appears on the continent as a unique entity and disappears when it dies.

This was the reason that even if a monster appeared in the ‘source’ of the monster’s lair, it would not reappear once it was caught.

‘There are a lot of guys like that… .’

Of course, there may be similar entities.

For example, the saber-toothed beasts are one of the monsters that appear quite frequently on the continent, and each individual is called a different name, such as ‘the saber-toothed tiger of the borderline’ and ‘the saber-toothed tiger of the blue flame’.

Although they may have similar classes and appearances, the magic lifespans identified by the heroes are different.

That’s why there were quite a lot of cases where there was no name at first, but a name was attached after hunting.

‘And mana.’

The second distinguishing point is the difference in mana.

Demon Beasts basically possess a tremendous amount of magical power compared to monsters.

It possesses at least higher level monsters, and there are many cases where it possesses the amount of magic equivalent to that of the highest level monsters.

As the level of combat increases, the importance of using magical power increases, so naturally, the amount of magical power possessed becomes a measure of the opponent’s strength to some extent.

This was the reason why the majority of monsters were evaluated as stronger than intermediate level monsters, although monsters are not always stronger than monsters.

and.

‘Then that guy must be a witch.’

In that sense.

That bizarre creature that appeared in front of us clearly looked like a ‘beast’.

I asked Ray without taking my eyes off him.

“Ray, don’t demon beasts usually appear at the source of monster dens?”

“That’s right. More often than not, it doesn’t even come out. A monster den is always a den where monsters appear, not a den where monsters appear.”

“So that guy is a mutant?”

“The appearance of demonic beasts in places other than their source is certainly unheard of.”

Just before the beginning of the semester, when I was investigating the red forest area with the Klepe Knights, there were traces of the monster at the source escaping from the monster’s lair.

This is a phenomenon that has never been found on the continent before.

However, following that, traces of mutation were found again in this blue swamp.

Gooooo-!!

And without even trying to hide his existence, he violently discharged the mana that hadn’t been captured…

I said, slowly putting my hand on the galley of my waist.

“ray. Can you protect the cadets?”

“… Are you planning on taking care of it alone?”

“If you help me, it will be a great help, but I don’t know what variables that magic beast might have. We can’t hurt the newbies who came to the special practice, can we?”

“I will follow Edgar-sama’s orders.”

Ray’s exact skill has not yet been confirmed.

However, the other day, when he radiated energy as a ＜Assassin＞ hero.

I was able to notice that I was never at the level of a novice.

In other words, it has the ability to keep my students safe while I fight the Witchbeast.

It was like that just by nodding his head at my request right away without much hesitation.

“Sir, Instructor. what the heck… .”

The cadets, who had come closer before they knew it, looked visibly bewildered.

They too had an intuition that the existence in front of them was not ordinary.

While hunting low-level monster protoss, suddenly encountering a demon-.

There was no lightning bolt like this.

But I reassured them by pulling out my sword myself.

“From now on, all the cadets will take a defensive posture and follow the order of Assistant Professor Ray.”

As long as I step in anyway, I can defeat the opponent regardless of whether it is a high-level monster or a monster.

Besides, if you control the variables that will happen in the future, you can prevent any one of the cadets from getting hurt.

… therefore.

“If you get a chance, so that you can see the instructor’s sword. From now on, I will begin the demonstration of advanced training in Balut swordsmanship – Bellum swordsmanship.”

He adjusts the eyes of the panicked cadets one by one and tells them.

Even this unexpected situation could have been part of the education.

* * *

Gooooo-!!

The screams that covered the surroundings from earlier stimulated my ears once more.

In fact, it was more like a vibration than a sound, and I could feel the intense energy running through my skin.

I started to move my body using the ＜Piarelli Foot Technique＞.

From noble mtl dot com

As we approached in the direction of the enemy, the unknown monster’s shape gradually appeared.

‘That’s… .’

It spreads throughout the muddy swampland and has a color similar to its green color.

And on top of the old trees rising everywhere…

A slick shape begins to ride up.

Looking at the elongated body, where the end is the tail and the end is the body, the demon comes to mind.

‘Lahara?’

It has the shape of a snake, but its size is so huge that you don’t even think of it as a snake.

Similar series of titanoboa and anaconda…

A monster in the form of a kind of gigantic hollow.

Lahara was coming up through the swamps and old trees.

and.

gooh-

Ka, aaa-!!

The boy opened his eyes.

Suddenly, a shriek resounds, and the quiet air around you changes.

The mana that had been pouring out earlier had a darker color.

Within.

Before I even tried to attack first-.

The guy’s head pushed in at incredible speed.

Wow, Kaang-!!

Lahara’s hard head collides with my galid.

Although the speed was much faster than expected, my body, assisted by ＜Indomitable Body＞, fortunately responded.

Of course, it didn’t just collide.

Even in that brief moment, I tried to pour magical power into Gallid and cut off its head.

“It’s tough.”

However, with just one bump, there wasn’t even a scratch on its hard leather.

The magical power that covered the entire surroundings and the speed that surprised me.

In addition, it has a defense that is not easily penetrated.

Lahara’s revealed power was more diverse than expected.

It was my first time dealing with a magical beast, so I approached it cautiously, but it was much more powerful than I expected.

From what I heard, there was a huge gap in power even among demonic beasts, and Lahara in front of me certainly seemed to belong to the upper-class demonic beasts.

‘Then you just have to hit back harder.’

My body has not yet fully recovered to the state it was in before returning.

Even though it is technically complete, it still inevitably needs assistance on the physical side.

Nevertheless, I was confident that I would never lose to Lahara in front of me.

There are two reasons.

Firstly, it was because the experience I had accumulated so far was all that could keep me from collapsing in this situation, and secondly… .

‘There is no leather that cannot be cut by this sword.’

It was because I believed in the power of my main sword method, ＜Bellum Sword＞.

Kang! Cagan!

Kaaang-!!

Take the connection action quickly.

The first is the left side of his face.

Here’s his right torso.

After that, jump behind your back and draw a long line.

Lahara’s hide, like an ironclad, blocked my sword, but I continued to move it without getting tired.

The ＜Bellum Sword＞ is a unique swordsmanship.

It is a sword method created to deal with multiple enemies on the battlefield, and with a few modifications of the herbivores in the middle, it becomes a sword method against individual enemies.

Even though it was a sword technique I devised and perfected myself, there were hidden unique elements.

And its power is at a level that does not lag behind swords specialized in one-on-one combat.

To put it more precisely.

‘A sword that bites without stopping until the opponent dies.’

I repeat.

The ＜Vellum Sword＞ was a sword method designed to kill the enemy, devised on the battlefield.

“You are a hero who has perfectly mastered the coincidence of ＜Bellum swordsmanship＞!”

Kang, Kang, Kang!!

Galid moves without rest.

When he shows his near-perfect command of the ＜Bellum Sword＞, the ‘hands of coincidence’ that have already appeared once appear again.

It meant that I was making the best sword with full concentration.

‘Faster.’

It’s fast enough, but adds acceleration to it.

faster.

faster-.

One of the traits I have developed as a swordsman.

that’s speed

I have been using my sword faster than anyone else in the other world.

It was no coincidence that the nickname ＜Gale Knight＞ was registered as a crossroads.

“Faster!”

When the battle first started, it would have been possible to use ＜Tsunami on the Sword＞ by using the 5th inevitable ＜Sword of Resonance＞.

However, it was judged that the ability to spew water would not have much effect on a demonic beast that used the swamp as its main stage.

so that.

That’s why it moves faster.

As a pure swordsmanship, I deal with him only with the herbivorous knowledge of my swordsmanship.

I know.

A sword that has been trained to the limit can cut through anything.

I knew it because I had been breathing with the sword for a long time and had dedicated everything to it.

Kaaa!!

Lahara, which seemed like an iron fortress, was finally beginning to collapse.

The leather, which was harder than iron armor, was scratched, and the scratches soon turned into huge scars.

Then his reaction became even more violent.

Intense murderous intent dwelled in his vicious eyes, and the overflowing mana around him showed an air current just before an explosion.

Shuu- Shuu-!!

Shoot aaa!!

The airflow soon became magic and came crashing into me.

Each monster has unique abilities.

In the case of Lahara, because she had tremendous physical abilities and very hard leather, I thought it was her own ability, but that wasn’t the end.

It seems that he uses magic to deal with water, befitting a monster that lives in a swamp.

‘Eight?’

A whirlpool of water spewed out from all over the swamp lands towards me.

A total of 8 pieces.

At first glance, it looks like watching ＜Vortex＞, a high-level water magic used by wizard heroes.

In other words, no matter how much I am, it means that if I am hit, the damage will be considerable.

‘Then it shouldn’t be right.’

The answer was simple.

Water magic that Lahara fired like a last-ditch effort.

If only they avoid it, the victory will lean heavily towards me.

Shoot aaa!!

The prepared whirlpools rush at me without hesitation.
