Chapter 127: The Lord Is With Us (48)

༺ The Lord Is With Us (48) ༻

There were all sorts of rumors about demonic humans.

In fact, some people even doubted their existence. Thousands of years had passed since the War of Gods and Demons and the congregation of the Dark Order had long since hidden its traces.

However, the nobles knew. They knew that demonic humans were not existences in mere legends.

The extent of their power still remained a mystery.

Some claimed that a demonic human could single-handedly take on an entire company of Knights, while others believed it would take an entire army to defeat one.

Yet, all of them agreed on one thing.

At the very least, Demonic humans were not to be confronted alone.

They were beings who willingly sacrificed something precious to them in exchange for power from the Evil God Omeros. They were the advance guard that led the ground invasion of Delphirem and the rulers of the demonic beasts.

It was only fitting for their power to match their positions.

And right now, on the battlefield, I was directly witnessing that very truth, far clearer than anyone else.

In the air, droplets of blood traced a solid line.

I looked away for just a split second, but without missing a beat, his claws sliced through the air, leaving a deep gash on my cheek.

Had I moved a second later, my head would have exploded into the air rather than just the drops of blood from my cheek.

I didn’t have the luxury to calmly assess the opponent’s skills. The claws were already swinging at high speed, targeting my head once again.

At this rate, I had no viable solutions. No matter how many times I swung my sword to fend off the attacks, I was continually pushed backward.

I had only one sword, but my opponent had two hands. That was the main cause for the drastic difference in speed between us.

Moreover, the demonic beast’s arms and claws were exceptionally long, giving it an absolute advantage in reach.

My breathing had already become as labored as it could get; Scars adorned every corner of my body.

I was already close to my limit.

I had no choice but to swear out loud as I threw my body to the ground.
