Very bad news, I should say terrible news.

"Go down, I see."

"Yes."

After the soldiers left, there was silence in the tent.

Fear is growing.

"My lord, is there anything I can help with?"

"Ah...... How can this bother you warriors again? ”

"It's okay, please feel free to tell me, I'm here to protect the city."

"yes, that's a big help! In fact, there is another way to turn the tide of the war, but it is too dangerous to carry it out lightly. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Assassination."

“！！！”

……

Night.

Taking advantage of the night, I secretly approached the demon army.

There is no doubt that I agree with the approach of the mayor of Mali.

It was indeed a way to turn things around, but his men clearly didn't have that strength.

So I volunteered.

Before leaving, the mayor of Mali asked me to bring some helpers, but I refused.

If a few more casualties were added, the situation of the defenders would be even more difficult.

According to the mayor of Mali, the demon camps are located very far back, and they are very heavily guarded, making it difficult to break through.

However, before I could see anything like a military camp, I bumped into a small force of demons.

"I'm really unlucky......"

"Humans in front of you, stop! Our boss has something to say to you. ”

And tell me? Are you here to tell me about the Victor's Declaration? Or do you want to persuade me?

"Ahem...... Human, finally let me find you. ”

What are you talking about? Do I know him?

"Tell me?"

"I'm Dior, one of the cadres of the Demon King."

Huh?!

Did the prey come to the door on its own...... It's good that I don't have to go to him.

"You are the cadre of the Demon King Army, you came just in time, and I am still looking for you."

"Sure enough! The prophetic power of the sacrifice is really powerful. ”

Sacrifice? What kind of profession is this? I don't remember a profession like this.

"What do you mean?"

"Your actions tonight were predicted by our sacrifice three days ago, so I came here to wait for you."

"Huh...... I'm a little eager to meet your family sacrifice...... Still, I admire your courage. Didn't he tell you that you would die at my hands? ”

Sacrifice ——— a magical profession that can predict the future, I have to say that it is a bit powerful.

"Hahaha! Someone will die tonight, but you must be the one who dies! ”

"......Shh That's a lot of nonsense, get ready to die! ”

I knew from the beginning that he was not an ordinary opponent, after all, he was a cadre of the Demon King Army, but after actually facing him, it was even more difficult to deal with than I imagined.

Woohoo.

My swing speed had reached the limit, but he still caught every blow I had and was able to counter quite a bit.

"Fun, so funny! I didn't expect there to be a human with this kind of strength! ”

"You're not bad!"

Blocking his blow to my throat, I quickly retreated, and distanced myself from him.

"Vine Bondage!"

The vines that appeared out of thin air wrapped around my feet from the ground, and not only that, but there was a neurotoxin injected into my body from the vines.

"Damn!"

Hurriedly bent down and cut down the vines.

Buzz———

The next second, Dior's greatsword swept over my head.

It's dangerous......

But Dior's foot was kicked again.

Rolling on the ground, he quickly regained his posture, but Dio wasn't going to give me any respite.

His sword followed.

I didn't have time to counterattack, so I could only jump back two steps and barely dodge.

"Pretty capable......"

Damn, why should I, a full-level knight, be beaten like this by this kind of person?

I poured my magic into my sword and leaped forward.

"The power of judgment!"

With all the strength of his body, he slashed at Dior.

However, he was still easily caught.

Now, I'm a little confused about whether I'm a full-level person or if he's a full-level person.

I hurriedly turned the blade of my sword sideways, and with a sweep, it swept into Dior's body.

But not even his armor was cut.

Dead Monster ———

"Absolute Sword!"

The sword flashed, and the sparks flew everywhere.

Dior took the struck with the sword.

"It's not over yet!"

I'm the pinnacle of this world, what are you going to do with me———

Unleash a continuous swing with powerful magical power.

This time, Dior's defenses were a little inadequate, and his sword was finally pushed away by me.

"You give me death!"

A sweep of rage.

His armor shattered in an instant.

But———

The signs of his life did not dissipate.

It's another nasty prop.

"Whew...... It's almost in your hands...... It's a pity...... Next, let me do it! ”

Dior's figure disappeared in an instant.

Oops, it's stealth magic!

A swift slash flashed.

If it weren't for my body's instinctive premonition of the crisis, I might have become a ghost under his sword.

A bloody streak appeared on the slashed cheek.

Cut...... I was actually injured.

"Oh, you actually dodged my blow, I have to say, I really underestimated you a little too much......"

"Hehe, I'll make your underestimation pay the price!"

"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do that!"

Ping Pong ———

The two swords were intertwined again.

For a moment all that remained was the sound of steel clashing.

O'O'————!

Hurry up –

Hurry up again -

That's not enough speed!

An angry roar accompanied the sword swing at the same time.

Several sword lights slashed, leaving several sword marks on Dior's body. Of course, I inevitably got a few swords in my body.

Suffered!

The previous neurotoxin actually flare up at this time.

My judgment began to errone.

Dio seemed to notice this, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After all, isn't this toxin immune to me, and why is the effect so obvious......

The Dior in his eyes became two.

"Hahaha!"

Taking advantage of my loss of balance, Dior's sword went straight to my chest.

I hurriedly resisted with my sword, but ———

The reaction at that moment was still a beat slower, and a strong pain hit my brain hard, which made me sober up a lot.

"Hmm......"

Gritting my teeth and enduring the sharp pain, I tried my best to stand still.

It hurts...... It feels like I'm going to die.

His forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.

Why am I at a disadvantage......

The hand covering the wound was already covered in blood, and I knew that I was in a very bad condition right now, and if I didn't deal with it quickly, something would definitely go wrong.

However, my opponent will definitely not let me run away.

You have to grit your teeth and hold on......

"I'm going to risk my life...... Beat you! ”

Lower your body and pour all the remaining mana into the sword.

The slightly trembling sword made me feel my powerlessness at this moment.
