49 – Behemoth. (1)

The demonic beasts came endlessly. As expected, there are too many of them.

The disgusting smell of the demon’s blood is almost paralyzing my nose. Fortunately, with Asti’s assistance, there was no particular danger. Because the guy who looks the most dangerous hasn’t moved yet.

The situation continued to worsen. Even though they were bombarded with magic, they were flocking like crazy. Where on earth was it coming out like that? It made me wonder if all the demonic beasts in hell were coming out.

I knew what was happening, but seeing it for myself was another matter.

Everyone on the castle wall was mesmerized by the terrifying sight of these guys rushing in. This may be because it felt like I was dealing with an immortal army that had no end to killing.

-Kyaaa!

I stabbed the demonic beast lunging in front of me with my sword.

Kwasik!

The sword stuck in the roof of the guy’s mouth pierces the guy’s head and sticks out. Even after doing all that, I can see him struggling. Nasty guys.

Before one guy can finish, another guy comes in again aiming for my neck. It looked like a werewolf, and it seemed that it was willing to bite my neck off regardless of whether my colleague’s head was pierced or not.

I breathed magical energy into my left hand, which was not holding the sword, and threw my fist at the guy heading for my neck.

Quaaang!

The magic power concentrated in the fist explodes like a cannonball. The demon beast suddenly became a demon beast, and in the aftermath of the concentrated magical power, the demon beasts around it were instantly reduced to mush.

Is it thanks to the heart of the dragon? It feels like the operation of mana has become smoother. Even though it is the heart of a dragon, which is known to be less effective than the fairy fruit, it has this much power. How strong has that bastard Ruslan become?

No, it is not too late to think about idle thoughts later. As soon as the demon that was pierced by the sword fell limp, I pulled out the sword that had pierced its body and swung the sword at the guys coming up again.

Imperial swordsmanship with a sword imbued with magical power mercilessly cut down the demonic beasts. With one cut of the knife, one person began to be cut in half.

The guy who moved for a moment even after his head was pierced seemed to be quite strong. Anyway, my side was able to block the demon beasts without any problems, but the problem was on my side.

From another part of the castle wall, the desperate voices of the knights can be heard, as if it is too much to handle the rising beasts.

“They are coming up!”

The demonic beasts were gradually coming up. If one place is breached, other places will probably start to break through as well. Because manpower from the other side will leave to fill the hole.

Then…… I guess I’ll have to gradually adjust my retreat angle. There was a high possibility that the commander had not thought this far. This is because they will judge that protecting the castle walls is more important than sacrificing a little manpower to these petty demonic beasts.

But that is a wrong idea. As I explained to Lina earlier, especially powerful magical beasts will move slowly.

I spoke to Asty, who was close behind me.

“Someone capable of destroying the castle wall will soon arrive. If the castle wall breaks…… Like I said, you know?”

“I know. Are you going to be okay?”

“It’s okay. “It was rewarding to eat the heart of the subdragon.”

“Still, be careful.”

“I know. Once the castle wall is destroyed, that’s when it really begins. The command system will become confused, and the knights’ attention will shift away from us. At that time, attach only one black spirit to Ruslan.”

“Okay.”

“There is no need to call the entire Black Spirit Army. Call in just a little, and if there are too many demons, you have to adjust the number. “I will help too, so tell Nea and Lina.”

“Yes.”

After explaining the rough plan, I went out to support the side that seemed like it would be narrowly escaped. The knight who was my squad leader completely lost interest in me as I cut down the demon beasts as if I were possessed. It seemed to be a sign of faith that he would do well.

Lina and Nea were also catching Zalman’s demon beasts. There is no way the devil and the devil’s contract, especially the final boss of Chapter 1, can be defeated by the demonic beasts.

The knight who was secretly guarding me was also concentrating on the demon beasts as if it was not a situation worth worrying about me. In other words, there was a high possibility that it would continue along this trend.

I suddenly looked towards Ruslan. Ruslan was fighting off the demonic beasts with Diana, Aris, and Johan with a rather complicated expression.

He definitely felt much more stable than other students.

He was probably the one who would move the most calmly even in situations that would explode later, so I wasn’t particularly worried about him. The problem is probably the other students.

Right now, the students who were there to support me were fighting against the scary beasts with their faces filled with contemplation.

It seemed as if everything he had learned so far had become a blank slate, and it was visible that he was trying desperately to defeat the magical beast with a sword that could not even be called swordsmanship.

No one can call them pathetic. They probably didn’t know that they would be driven to the battlefield.

In an instant, magical power was concentrated in his legs and he kicked over the castle wall.

Quang!

The body suddenly jumps forward with a loud noise. I felt like I was a human cannonball.

The distance narrows in an instant. And the next moment, he plunged his sword into the neck of the demonic beast that was reaching for the head of a female student.

Puuk.

Blood bursts out from the guy’s neck along with the sound of something being pierced. As it was, I slightly twisted the sword stuck to his neck and struck him down violently.

Wow!

With the sound of blood splashing, the monster’s neck was torn in half and fell off. I didn’t stop there. Because the demonic beasts were still numerous.

I straightened my sword again and took my stance. That moment was like a split second, and before the demon beasts could even react, my body was cutting into their bodies.

It was my body, but it felt like it wasn’t my body. My heart was pounding and my whole body was full of energy. It seemed like these demonic beasts could be easily dealt with.

But now is not the time to be drunk on my power.

After retrieving the sword, I looked behind me.

The female student who was about to be attacked by the demon beasts had her complexion turn pale and she was covered in the demon beast’s blood.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, ah…… Yes yes!”

It was a face I had never seen before. That means he’s definitely not a second year student, but judging by his young face, he’s definitely a first year student.

“Keep your head straight. Don’t lose your composure. Don’t put too much force on your hands. Understand?”

“Okay, thank you!”

“There is nothing to be thankful for, just live. Then take care of your friends and move back. “This is no longer a situation where you can do anything.”

Even as I was talking, I could see demonic beasts crawling up.

But they weren’t that strong, so we were able to get rid of them quickly.

With the guys rearranged, I moved around the castle walls.

The reason I was moving so much was simple. To find the commander. No matter how much I am a student in the squad, I am Lancel’s successor. He had the minimum qualifications to talk to the head of the Capital Defense Force.

How far did it take to go around the castle wall? Suddenly, the commander appeared. Captain of the Capital Defense Force, Lord Rudereck.

“Lord Rudereck!”

I supported Lord Lutherreck and his knights in a close battle with the demonic beasts. It seems that Lord Rudereck was also trying to block a place where a lot of demonic beasts were concentrated.

When I was added to the picture that was already slowly clearing away the demonic beasts, the demonic beasts were dying to a truly murderous level. The knights who saw the scene looked at me with quite surprised expressions, and the same was true for the commander, Sir Rudereck.

“…… Duke Frach?”

“We must give up the walls!”

I shouted at him who was looking at me and questioning me. The noise on the battlefield was so loud that you couldn’t hear it unless you shouted.

“What does that mean all of a sudden? “Give up the walls!”

“Look over there!”

At my words, Sir Rudereck looked at the direction I pointed. A huge demonic beast, almost as big as the castle wall, was gradually approaching the castle wall. It was literally a bear hundreds of times the size, but its body was not covered with fur but disgusting tentacles.

I knew very well what that witch was.

Behemoth.

He was a demonic beast that lived at the bottom of hell, and he was stronger than the dragon. And he was also Ruslan’s main prey during this flood of demonic beasts.

“… ….”

“That guy is a monster called Behemoth, and magic doesn’t work properly! He can’t even use holy magic properly! He’s a famous knight, or at least the Imperial Knight Commander, that can be dealt with! “If you try to hold on, the sacrifices will only increase!”

“Behemoth…… ! Could it be that they are demonic beasts that live at the bottom of hell?”

“Yes! I have a close friend who is knowledgeable about demonic beasts, and I heard an explanation from him, and it is exactly the same as that demonic beast. To stop that guy, we need the help of the saint and the commander of the Imperial Knights!”

Saint, Imperial Knight Commander, Ruslan. These three were the most key figures in subduing that magical beast.

So, until the three of them gathered together, they had to give up the castle walls, disperse the demonic beasts into the wide city area, and repel them separately. This fight won’t end until Behemoth is captured.

All preparations for that had already been completed. To the extent that a large number of private soldiers gathered from his father and the imperial family were spread out across the city.

When I told this to Sir Luther Wreck, he nodded his head seriously.
