Vol 2 Chapter 9 (1/2)

Demons, a race that goes against Humanity, the other ruler of this continent and their nemesis.

However, presently Humanity knows surprisingly next to nothing about the Demons.

Though Humanity overwhelmingly exceeds the number of Demons, the Demons individually possess overwhelming ability.

And that they obey their absolute ruler the Demon lord… That was pretty much all they knew.

No matter which country it is, they don´t possess any detailed information about the current Demon race. From time to time there are some reckless people that go into the territory of the Demon race but none have ever returned.

In the span of three hundred years, the Demon race is supposed to be a warlike race but they have begun to attack less and less. Because there isn’t any real harm, the threat we feel from them had begun to diminish.

From all the currently living humans, probably none of them have ever personally seen someone of the Demon race.

However, being a special exception, Kail could recognize that his opponent is someone of the Demon race with a single look.

Unlike Humanity, the Demon race isn’t split up between races, they have figures are similar to an averagely build human but the individual difference is large.

There are those with multiple limbs, those that are extremely large or extremely small, those that have wings growing from their backs and many other things.

However, they all have one thing in similar with each other, that is, they all have a horn growing from their head.

This is the same for every Demon and it’s the same for the female demon in front of him who has a big horn on her forehead.

And for those who have killed them and fought them before could understand that unique pressure, Kail could feel it from the female Demon in front of him.

When the female Demon had confirmed Kail’s figure after he had jumped through the door, she seemed to lightly let out a sigh.

Then the female Demon’s right hand transformed, after she had transformed her nails into beast like evil looking nails, she rushed toward Kail. Her speed was as fast as or even higher than Kail’s speed after reinforcing himself with magic.

In response, rather than thinking, Kail responded with his instinct. This is from Kail’s unique and rich fighting experience against the Demon race.

Without sword or armor, defending poorly is useless, then there is no choice but to attack and Kail began to rush forward.

Rather than fleeing, he went towards her, this must have been out of the female Demon’s expectations since her eyes slightly widened for a moment but she still swung her nails toward Kail’s face.

Kail receives that attack made with her sharp claw like nails with his left arm, her nails deeply gouges into Kail’s arm which isn’t protected by any armor, penetrating it.

Having not only speed but also strength, a normal human would have his arm ripped off but Kail’s tough left arm was able to withstand it.

Severe pains. .h.i.t Kail, but he ignored it and makes a counterattack.

In Kail’s clenched right fist magic power began to gather, a light began to faintly s.h.i.+ne.

This is something that was arranged with the low level attack magic [Energy Bolt], at the expense of its range and precision by putting everything into attack power and then placing it into the fist and directly punching the enemy.

High level magic would be disturbed by the pain and it also takes time to cast, this is Kail’s most powerful attack in close combat without his sword.

This attack also must have been out of the Female Demon’s expectations; she took it fully against her stomach.

“Ga fu~tsu!”

The female Demon’s body bent into a ‘>’ shape and flew backward, but she somehow managed to recover her stance.

If it was used against a human opponent he would’ve been dead already from Kail’s punch which was infused with magic; however, the female Demon stood up while holding her stomach.

However, a counterattack in itself must have been out of her expectations, since on her seemingly expressionless face showed pain and surprise.

“It seems like it worked in a good way. Wanna try taking two or three more hits?”

Kail says sarcastically with great ease, but it’s actually just a bluff.

The punch just now was his trump card for when he loses his weapon, but we’re talking about Kail whose magic power originally falls short to be called first cla.s.s.

Through the fusion of souls it could be called first cla.s.s without problem and against someone of Humanity the current Kail wouldn’t have any problems against them, but he knows from the start that only super first cla.s.s works on those of the Demon race.

Without any equipment and nearly unarmed, leaving aside not having the sword Sildonia on him he doesn’t even have a spare sword, this can only be called careless.

(I was taking it too lightly…)

In the midst of the Great Advance, he would never make a mistake like this while fighting against the Demon race.

The blood flowing from his left arm is a lot, so the longer it takes the more disadvantageous it gets for him, while thinking if he should go at it with his life on the line Kail heard some footsteps from behind him.

It’s probably Miranda and the others. Don’t come! The moment when he wanted to shout that the female Demon clicked her tongue.

When she did, the female Demon turned around and faced the already broken large window above the courtyard and jumped out of it.

“Impossible… She ran away?”

He involuntarily muttered.

From Kail’s experience it was impossible for someone on the Demons side to run away.

Of course, unlike that time, the time of the war the situations different so maybe it’s only natural to do that.

He hurriedly ran towards the window to look at the courtyard, but it was also just a sea of blood.

In the large courtyard, Alzaad’s wyvern was also there, but it was also slaughtered like the rest.

In the distance, he could see a demon-like figure running on a building’s roof.

Actually I wanted to go after it.

I have a lot of things I want to know, also, as long as it’s someone from the Demon race they need to be killed no matter what.

However, that figure had already become like a pea, even if he did catch up, the current Kail he could be beaten instead.

“Just what hap… Hi~tsu!?”

Miranda, who had come into the room wanted to raise a scream to the tragedy she was seeing, but closed her mouth and her face went pale, the servant who was with her waist gave out.

Around that time from here and there in the emba.s.sy screams could be heard and it became noisy in a single moment.

Since the pain in his left arm became worse Kail who calmed down put some pressure on his arm.

After this he checked the damage the emba.s.sy took, it was tremendous.

The ones in the dining room and courtyard weren’t the only ones that got killed, different places all over the emba.s.sy got hit, in the end; half of the people inside the Gargan Empire’s emba.s.sy were killed.

However, the strange thing is that among the survivors, none of them had seen the murder happen or even heard any noise when it did.

By averting your eyes even a little, with a light sound as if moving your chair they were killed without even having the time to scream, or that’s what it would mean.

From this truth the ones involved all began to pale.

Around that time Lize and the others had finished eating their meal at Gazas’s house and were now enjoying drinking their tea in the living room.

“I apologize, for having you make dinner.”

Gou said humbly.

“It’s alright since we ate too.”

You don’t need to mind it, Lize said toward Gou who had apologized to Lize for having her prepare dinner for them.

“However, you even cleaned up the room for us.”

Gou said, looking not very sorry, while looking around the tidied up room.

“Did I do something unneeded?”

“Of course not! You saved us. Father and I both suck at housework… in one month it had suddenly become this messy.”

“Well it does tend to end up that way in a house full of men.”

“By the way, what might Kail-san be doing?”

“It seems to be a dinner with some big shot, since he’s still a messenger of Jirgs. Those kinds of things are also important it seems.”

Well, I for one find it too stuffy so I pa.s.sed, is what Seran said.

“However, I thought that everyone was a messenger?”

“Well all of us are something like add-ons… Well, in turn he gets to have a fancy meal i guess.”
