Chapter 143: The One-Eyed Ominous Mino Taur (2/2)

'Now it was uncertain…' he thought.

In this kind of situation, even for Jura, it was hard for him to think. Especially that there were only two of them left.

'Should they retreat?' Jura was starting to think about the worst possible outcome.

'No, we can't leave here without achieving a goal. Only the man that can achieve something even in a difficult situation can truly become the real hero!' Jura's thought.

After all, he was the son of the valiant general who fought in countless battles. He needed to follow his father's feats. No matter what he needed to do. No! What he truly wanted was to become a hero that surpassed his father's feats.

And this competition was the starting point for him! So he could not just let himself down.

He stared ahead of them.

The Demon Lord successfully stood up. Then he lifted his sword, and slowly unsheathed it.

A gleaming scarlet blade that was exuding with a murderous aura.

”The heck with this bloodlust!” Nicholas once again whimpered whole bracing himself.

DUM!

It's first step-down created a crack on the podium. And a gush of chilly wind was slammed to the two. But they managed to remain on their feet.

Jura without wasting time, he swung his longsword horizontally. At the same time, he shouted the name of his technique.

Severe Slash!

Then a golden brilliance of pure energy was sent flying towards the Demon Lord.

But the golden attack -Severe Slash- dissipated before it reached the target.

Jura expected this to happen. He knew the identity of the enemy in front of them; he was one of the Demon Lords in the Dark Continent.

The One-Eyed Ominous Mino Taur!

Jura shouted the name. However, this one in front of them was just a copy of the original. That's why he tried to attack it. But he didn't expect that even if it was only a copy, it was still this strong.

He wondered if the empress didn't want someone to win this competition.

Jura did not back down and sent multiple -Severe Slash- golden slashes were sent towards the unhurried approaching Demon Lord.

Seeing him sending multiple attacks, Nicholas also summoned javelin by coagulating dense amounts of mana.

He sent it with a shout.

Sendor's Javelin!

Javelin that was gleaming in purple color flew rapidly towards the Demon Lord. This technique was passed down from their ancestors who once fought and killed a Demon General.

Sendor Senrod, a mighty general who claimed the life of Demon General and thousands of Uncivilized Demon.

From Nicholas' right arm. A tattoo of a purple needle caressed by a dragon was visible. It was their clan's symbol. The Senrod family.

The javelin traveled like a flying purple dragon. But like the -Severe Slash- of Jura, it disappeared when the Demon Lord swung his sword and created a veil of thin layered -Scarlet Shield- around him.

The battle continued,

Jura and Nicholas maintained their distance while sending their range-attacks.

After a couple of minutes, the door opened again, and many figures came in.

”What?”

Everyone was shocked when they entered.
