"Sigh…" Alfred let out another sigh.

He could not have counted on two hands how many times he had sighed in this brief interval.

Thwack!

Dior had had enough of it at that point.

The atmosphere was ruined by the elderly man who was acting as though his demise was already certain.

"Ouch! Please, Miss Hero, spare me. This old man can't handle it much longer." Alfred rubbed his back, which got hit.

"Are you not an A-rank mage? How come you're so frail?"

No response came from Alfred.

Mages weren't particularly athletic, and at this point, they had been jumping from tree to tree for perhaps a dozen kilometres.

And after simply utilizing a straightforward float skill repeatedly, his mana was virtually depleted.

Alfred was drenched in sweat, and his regal crimson robe had become a burden at this point.

He shifted his gaze to Dior. In reality, it was his first encounter with a hero.

His initial impression of this hero was that she was gorgeous, yet she exuded a frigid atmosphere.

    Rage grabbed the mana thread and tore it with his claws in an instant."You've really brought yourself to me." He laughed.Rage knew who the magic belonged to, and he thought it was interesting magic.He turned his head in that direction.The string was growing deeper in that direction.And he carried on in that direction.…"The demon has appeared.""Cough! Is it actually a demon?" Alfred responded quickly.Dior twitched her lips in response to Alfred's comments."How can you not recognize the demon? Even the apprentice mage was able to identify it.""I…I…" Alfred was unable to respond.Dior was in a foul mood.In her opinion, the fact that the demon had readily discovered and broken her abilities was insulting. She had the impression that the demon was making fun of her for utilizing such sorcery.All of this was, of course, in her head.Rage did not believe that his deed of shattering the opponent's magic would offend the enemy. And even if it did, what's the harm in that?Was it i

    House of Ifrit.When the doorbell rang, Duke Ifrit was completing his daily report checks inside his office."Who is it?" Ifrit inquired softly."Greetings to the Duke, this is Legionnaire Mariko!"Hmm?Ifrit scowled.Although there were so many legionnaires working under him that he couldn't identify the person, he thought the name seemed somewhat familiar."Can you tell me why you've come here?""Respected Duke, I have important news for you regarding support on the front lines!" Mariko yelled.The door had not yet been opened.Mariko was frightened as he recognized the enormity of the issue. If he could have, he would have opened the door and reported it right away.At least, that's what he planned to do.The moment he heard the man inside the room's chilly voice, though, all of his confidence vanished."Enter and provide an explanation. Don't squander your time. Describe why you chose to come to me for help rather than contacting a more experienced knight."Click!Mariko stepped i

    "Stay back, demon!"Zing!A slew of magical circles floated through the sky. They had a sinister red tint to them. The magical rings swirled around, as though preparing for an all-out assault.Alfred was on his knees, staring at the demon in front of him and Dior, who stood behind him.One was attempting to assassinate him, while the other was a potential betrayer.He was becoming increasingly paranoid.He could only pray that the heroes would live up to their reputations and save his life."Get ready, Alfred!" Dior yelled.The fact that the hero seemed to still be attentive to him made Alfred's heart sigh with relief.Whoosh!Dior made a hasty advance.Rage squinted. His mind was still racing, causing his vision to become fuzzy and his eyes to become heavy.He was going to morph into his real form the instant the human attacked."Come!" he yelled.He didn't want to die, despite the fact that he was immortal. It was embarrassing to die, especially to someone lesser than him."Aaaa!! R

    “Ahhh!”Rage's ears nearly suffered irreparable harm from Alfred's piercing scream, which he let out like a young child who has just seen a ghost.He crashed to the ground.Then, in a fit of fright, he sank to the ground, keeping an eye on the demonic entity.He crept for a few meters before realizing the creature had halted its movement.Even the demon's eyes were clouded and unfocused, as though it were paying attention to something else.With the passage of time, Alfred's terror began to fade, and he gently rose to his feet."What the hell just happened?"He took a quick look around.It was still the large expanse of water surrounding him, but it appeared to be unstable and had numerous fissures in it.He was still in the demon's territory, Alfred was certain of it."Hero! Fucking Hero! I should not have ever trusted those outsiders in the first place." After all the times he had abandoned his crew to perish in the monster's hands, it felt like karma had finally caught up with him

    "I am absolutely finished." Rage mumbled.He was imprisoned in the centre of the firewalls, like a mouse in a cage.He had already determined the intensity of the flame—this was no ordinary flame.Even stronger than his master's white flame in terms of intensity, this flame felt. And his scowl couldn't help but grow.'I heard master mention that there are a few powerful people in this world who are known as S-ranks.''Does this guy belong to one of them?' Inquisitive, Rage cast a quick glance at the individual in front of him.Although the wall of flame that was burning may have blurred his eyesight, the aura and repression that he sensed from this individual were as obvious as the sun.Ifrit was observing the demon with the same fascination on the opposite side of the flame wall.He was not even an A-rank warrior yet when he had last encountered or witnessed a demon. The experience of encountering a demon back then was comparable to dying.He was only one of the fodder warriors sent

  • Demon's Evolution   Soul Magic

    Soul Magic was a forbidden form of magic.It had been banned since it was thought to be one of the demons' spells.But in truth, soul magic was present on this planet long before the arrival of the demons.Regarding the rationale behind the prohibition of soul magic,Everybody could access it since it was straightforward and efficient, yet it also leaned on the side of dark magic.Soul magic used to be a thriving magic when it wasn't outlawed, but the magic circles and scrolls related to it have vanished from every corner of this globe.Any commoner might pay a fee, purchase a soul scroll, and then pay to curse the person they despised.The payment may be mana, but the amount of mana required for soul magic was too great for even an early A-rank mage to handle.As a result, individuals would be willing to give up their bodies and maybe their lives to use them.The aristocrats of that era couldn't behave in such an arrogant and conceited manner in the streets and among the commoners.I

    Despite the demon's panic, Ifrit ignored it and began to round the demon with another magic circle.Whiish!"Urgh!"The human had reactivated the enchantment just as Rage was about to try something. A powerful force struck his skull and he collapsed on the ground face down."Demon, if I stopped the magic, you claimed you would talk. Now why are you behaving in such a suspicious manner? I already know you're a slick jerk, so how could I let my guard down?" Ifrit made fun of him."All I was trying to do was stand up and speak properly." Rage coughed incongruously."Ideally, you shouldn't try any duplicitous ruses any longer. I am not someone who can be duped by someone like you. My fingers are crossed that your demon brain isn't so dim as to keep your secrets. Otherwise, I shall quickly obliterate your soul." With a voice as frigid as ice, Ifrit spoke.Hearing those words caused Rage to involuntary shiver, and his visage changed to one that was incredibly unpleasant. He had 'suffered' m

    "You…""Now that you've seen this...Do you think I'm scared of death?"Rage gave a frigid smile.The heroes were terrified by the smile."H-How is that possible?" Anthony exclaimed with disbelief. The poise that he had developed since becoming a hero had already been lost."Is he invulnerable?" Gildar scowled. He wasn't afraid, albeit he was a little shocked, unlike Anthony.This meant that there had to be a certain method of killing the demon because there was no way he could have been indestructible.They are from Earth and have read a number of stories as students in which the characters could only be murdered under specific circumstances.Those characters were undoubtedly obnoxious, but that didn't make them unstoppable."This must be a skill, or this demon must be unique. His death state may differ from those of other demons." Gildar went on. Gildar kept going.Ifrit regarded Gildar while feeling a little taken aback.He hadn't expected this young man to make such an inference.

    "Hey! Why should we listen to a brat like you?" The interjection came from the back of the crowd, a young soldier, his face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing with defiance. The rest of the soldiers turned to stare, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.A genuine smile spread across my face. Finally, someone had the audacity to speak up. A flicker of satisfaction ignited within me. This was exactly what I had been hoping for, wasn't it? Didn't this feel like the natural order of things?I had anticipated this moment from the very beginning. There was no way these esteemed scions of nobility and battle-hardened knights would meekly submit to the commands of a mere child. The moment I was elected commander of one of the three mighty armies, I knew this tension would inevitably arise. After all, who among these talented warriors would willingly follow a teenager with little to boast of in terms of accomplishments? And let's not forget the shadow of my less-than-st

  • Demon's Evolution   Doubt In the Commander

    Ladia couldn't help but castigate herself for her lapse in judgment. How had she not seen it before? If the involvement of the magic towers would significantly aid the Empire, then the impact of the very person who had defeated the magicians of the tower participating would be monumental.The princess's heart thrummed with the realization, chiding herself for taking so long to come to this epiphany. Was Ethan's proposal the correct course of action or not? She no longer dwelled on the question.With a steely gaze, Ladia announced, "I have reached a verdict."The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the princess. The final decision lay in her hands, and she was ready to reveal it. The anticipation hung heavy in the air, and Ladia took a deep breath before continuing. "I have decided to accept Ethan's proposal."A murmur of surprise rippled through the room, but Ladia held up her hand for silence. "I believe that Ethan's plan, with a few modifications, is the best course of action for

    My suggestion ignited a firestorm of debate among the upper echelons of the capital. The princess convened her officials in the grand throne room, where the air was thick with tension and uncertainty as they deliberated their next course of action. Ultimately, the march toward the City of Aran was postponed by a full day, a delay that weighed heavily on everyone present. The officials found themselves divided, caught between two stark choices: should they attempt to reclaim the nearby City of Aran from the Beast Kingdom, or should they focus their efforts on retaking the more strategically significant City of Northfall?"But, Your Majesty," one of the officials interjected, his voice rising above the murmurs of the assembly, "as we stand now, we cannot afford to risk an attack on the Northfall Fortress! I have heard reports that the beastmen have fortified their walls and laid even more traps to ensnare us! If we allow this farce to continue, we will be nothing more than lambs led to

  • Demon's Evolution   Indecisive

    A chill snaked down Ryle's spine. Ethan's suggestion hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, like a shroud woven from despair. To attack City of Aran, a fortress city now bristling with tens of thousands of Beast Kingdom soldiers, felt like a declaration of utter annihilation. Even Lance, their most valiant commander, had fallen captive within its walls.Ryle's brow creased into a deep furrow. He, too, was a commander of the Initiation Army, a man who had tasted the bitterness of defeat and the sting of loss. He couldn't fathom how Ethan, this newly appointed leader, could so blithely propose a course of action that reeked of self-destruction."I cannot, in good conscience, agree with your plan," Ryle stated, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration. "As we stand now, attacking Northfall City is a fool's errand, a suicide mission. We are scattered, depleted, and outmatched. We must first rally our remaining forces, regroup along the borders, and then, and only then,

    "Ryle Green, step forward!" the Royal advisor said, seeing Ryle was in a daze.Ryle coughed and stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement as he knelt before the Princess."Ryle Green, you are hereby granted authority over fifty thousand soldiers," the Princess said, her voice like a melody that soothed the soul. "You shall be the commander of the Vanguard Army!"With a snap of her fingers, the Princess bestowed an insignia upon Ryle's shoulder, its glow of light like a beacon of hope in the face of the looming threat of the Beast Kingdom."I will crush those beastmen for you, Your Highness!" Ryle said, his voice filled with determination and resolve.The Princess smiled, her eyes filled with pride and hope. "We have faith in you, Ryle," she said. "Together, we will defeat the Beast Kingdom and restore peace to our lands."Princess Ladia nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I expect a lot from the younger generation, Ryle," she said, her voice laced with both encou

  • Demon's Evolution   The Chosen Commanders

    The Dwarven Kingdom, a land renowned for its glittering wealth, held its breath. The Brightwing Empire’s meager offer, a desperate plea for aid, was all they had to entice the notoriously hard-drinking mercenaries. Even if their weapons were outdated, their reputation for unmatched effectiveness in battle preceded them. Surely, that would be enough.“Your Majesty,” a guard murmured, his voice barely a tremor in the air. “They have arrived.”Princess Ladia, lost in a labyrinth of thought, startled slightly. She had wrestled with the decision for what felt like an eternity, but finally, a solution had emerged. All that remained was to face them, to meet their gaze and offer her hand in this desperate alliance.Viscount Lamiel, a man whose arrogance was only surpassed by his thirst for gold, strode into the royal garden, flanked by a legion of equally boisterous mercenaries. Princess Ladia recognized most of them – the nobles summoned by the crown, their faces etched with a mixture of g

  • Demon's Evolution   Who will be the Commanders?

    The scene unfolded with brutal efficiency. Several soldiers, their faces grim and resolute, descended upon Drew and the other soldier, their movements swift and decisive. There was no struggle, no desperate pleas for mercy. They walked away with heads bowed, accepting their fate with a stoic silence that spoke volumes of their resignation.Ryle, his expression a mixture of weariness and amusement, ran a hand through his hair, a sigh escaping his lips. "What a waste of a perfectly good sleep," he muttered, his voice laced with a hint of exasperation. "Young men like myself need our rest, yet everyone seems determined to disrupt my slumber over such trivial matters."His gaze shifted to me, and a playful smile curved his lips. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said, extending a hand towards me. "Ryle Green, third son of Count Green, and as you might be able to tell, the future commander of this very army." He spoke with an air of unwavering confidence, his words carrying the weight of

    Two soldiers from a rival camp, their boots crunching on the gravel path, happened upon the conversation. One soldier, his face contorting with barely suppressed mirth, clamped a hand over his mouth, desperately trying to stifle a chuckle. His companion, sensing the impending eruption, jabbed him in the ribs with an elbow, a silent plea for decorum. But the laughter, like a trapped spring, was too powerful to contain. Tears welled in the soldier's eyes, threatening to spill over as his shoulders shook with silent mirth. Finally, with a strangled cry, he burst into a full-blown guffaw. "Hahahaha! If it's the Young Master leading us! Hahaha! We'll be able to… Pft! Hahaha!"The sound of his uncontrolled laughter echoed through the camp, drawing curious glances from nearby soldiers. Gaston, his face a mask of confusion and irritation, turned to the source of the amusement. "Excuse me, but what's so funny?" he demanded, his voice laced with displeasure.The soldier, still gasping for br

  • Demon's Evolution   Flies

    The unyielding army of the Ice Demon City had been journeying for a considerable number of weeks, traversing a multitude of cities and towns along the way. During our sojourns, we would occasionally restock our supplies, find respite in taverns, and often in the great outdoors, before resuming our arduous trek.Given the unfortunate circumstances, we were informed that the Ice Demon City was the most distant of all cities from the capital. This reality meant that we were among the last to receive the urgent message, compelling us to join the ranks of the other nobles and their armies in the capital.It was in the fourth week of our relentless march that we finally arrived in the grand and magnificent Capital city. The journey had been long and arduous, but our determination never wavered, as we knew our presence was required in these critical times. I had already surmised that the majority of the other nobles and their forces would have already amassed in the capital, readying themse
