Fern looked to his right, and his companion was long gone, leaving only reddened trees illuminated by the magma fire. Almost, they should already be waiting on the right, it's time to get out. The mercenary took a deep breath, grasped the scabbard in his left hand, and slowly walked out of the woods, stepping steadily on the ground.

The sky outside the woods was lit up by magma, a fire ahead, sparks sprang up from the canyon, and currents of heat rushed towards the mercenaries. He was spotted by a demon still on guard, and the demon looked at Fern almost directly for ten seconds before it began to warn its fellow human beings around him. The dozing demon was also woken up, and he opened his eyes impatiently to look at the human in front of him who appeared out of nowhere.

Fern just stood at the foot of the hill, waiting, and when he saw that there was only one human, the demon went from shock to disdain. A demon reclining on the ground rolled over and went to sleep, but was immediately awakened by a kick from the demon who had been the first to spot Fern, and then a strange howl came from there, and the lying demon reluctantly got up and walked down the hill with the other four demons. Fern waited for them with satisfaction, but there was still one left on the hill, looking imposing, and it seemed to be their head.

The demon who took the lead stopped ten yards away from the mercenary, raised his jaw with a hole in it and looked at the mercenary, a hoarse voice coming out of his throat. "Who are you and how did you get here? ”

Fern deliberately struck a defiant pose, clasping his hands to his chest. "I'm here to kill you, don't let any of you escape. ”

The demon's hollow eyes widened, and he began to laugh, but it sounded like a blower inhaling. "Kill us, who do you think you are?"

"It's useless to talk too much, do you dare to fight?" Fern tried to stabilize his emotions, facing the five demons, although they could no longer affect their minds, it was still not an easy task. "Do you dare to come and fight me one by one, of course, if you want to go together, it's fine. ”

"Nonsense!" the demon in the lead roared as he opened his mouth wide at the mercenary, revealing his broken teeth and bloody mouth. "How dare you underestimate us, I can kill you alone!" said the demon, sword in hand, lunging at Fern without giving him time to prepare.

Fern was in battle in an instant, he had never been in a state so quickly, as if he was a natural warrior, and the action of the demon charging over him was divided into several slow motions in his eyes. Fern turned slightly to his left, dodging a sword that slashed at his head, and before the sword was still in mid-air, his knee was raised and he kicked hard into the demon's stomach, knocking him flying and falling five yards away.

The demon jumped up angrily, yelled at the mercenary again, and rushed again. Fern held his breath and focused all his attention, his eyes calm and undistracted. Grasping his weakness, he is now enraged by me, completely ignoring his own flaws, and only wants to kill me right away, this is his greatest weakness. The demon was already close at hand, its mouth wide open and howling, and its sword stabbed at the mercenary. It's now!Fern suddenly protruded forward, and at the same time pulled out the sword in the stone, in the light of the magma fire, a cold light flashed, only a crisp sound was heard, followed by the sound of the sword in the sheath again, only to see that the mercenary was already standing behind the demon, and was retracting the last section of the sword in the stone scabbard. And the demon's body, starting from the waist, was neatly slashed, and the upper body fell to the ground, still twitching.

Fern walked over to the two bodies, looked disdainfully at the other four demons who had been stunned, raised his foot and kicked the bodies up hard, and the still wriggling bodies rolled over a few times and rolled down the canyon.

The mercenary walked back to his original position and clasped his hands again. "Is this your strength? It turns out that you rely on special abilities in our world to defeat humanity, otherwise you will not be vulnerable at all. ”

The second demon roared and raised his sword and charged at the mercenary, and Fern smiled slightly, another carried away by anger. The demon was faster than the one he had just been, and he was deliberately guarding against possible sudden counterattacks, so Fern didn't find the flaw right away, just kept dodging the opponent's attacks. The demon unstruck the sword very quickly, and finally Fern had to draw his sword to block the sword that had already arrived in front of him, and the two swords were pressed together.

"What? Finally, you can't dodge and draw your sword?" the demon even provoked the mercenary.

Fern looked at the mangled face in front of him, separated only by two swords, but realized that he was not afraid at all. "Without the ability to breathe the heart, you are nothing, not even the most ordinary mercenary of humans. ”

"I'm going to kill you!" the demon shouted, and began to press on Fern with all his strength, and Fern gradually felt that he was about to lose his support, and the demon's power was really huge. Weakness, his weakness!Fern jerked the sword to the left, unloading the demon's strength to the left, while the whole person lunged forward, the sword in his hand held diagonally and pushed forward. The demon hurriedly took the sword back, but the mercenary's sword had reached his chest, so he had to be forced to defend, obviously the advantage of this demon was only to attack sharply, but there was no way to defend it, Fern's sword changed three positions in the air in a row, each time it lured the demon to defend with all its might, but it changed direction again at the last moment, making the demon's defense in vain. Finally, as the demon made one last defensive move with all his might, Fern suddenly stepped back to the right, circled to the left side of the demon, and the sword in the stone avoided the futile defense, slashing from the top of the demon's head all the way to the chest, slashing the demon in two from the side.

Fern dragged one of the fallen demons by the foot, walked towards the canyon, and threw them down. "It's two, do you dare to go up again?" the mercenary steadied his breath and looked at the remaining three demons playfully.

At this moment, Fern noticed that the last demon had also begun to wander from the hill, and the mercenary was both excited and nervous. Excitedly, he had managed to lure all the demons over so that Enoch and the others could immediately go around the mountain to destroy the dragon eggs, and the nervous thing was that this last demon gave him a completely different feeling from the others. Fern gripped the hilt of his sword, knowing that the battle would be a battle of life and death, but before that he could do so, he had three demons to deal with. Fern took another deep breath and adjusted his breath as he waited for his next opponent.

The three demons looked at each other, obviously frightened by the deaths of the two accomplices in front of them, and Fern was surprised to find that the demons were also afraid of death. "Do you know how terrified the humans you killed before they die? I'm going to give you a taste of that right now. ”

"Don't talk big!" a third demon rushed at him with his sword, this demon with long hair like withered grass fluttering behind him as he charged.

Like the two demons before him, after a few rounds, Fern had figured out his attacking style and easily found his weaknesses. Fern then began to fight back, and after several quick attacks, the demon's right hand was severed from the shoulder, the broadsword fell to the ground, and the demon howled backwards, his twisted face filled with fear.

"Want to run?" Fern took a step forward and caught up with the demon, grabbed him with his left hand, and dropped his sword in his right hand, severing the demon's other hand by the roots, and red and black blood splattered out.

The demon fell to his knees, howling in despair. "This is the fear and pain that the humans you slay before they die!" Fern shouted, raising his sword in stone, stabbing between the demon's eyes and piercing through the withered skull.

The remaining two demons were stunned by the sight before them, and Fern glanced at the last demon who was almost at the foot of the mountain. I'll have to settle the rest before he comes down, Fern thought to himself, and ran forward quickly. Fern didn't know why he dared to take the initiative to attack the two demons, he never realized that his strength had reached this point, but he firmly conveyed to him in his heart that he could defeat these two demons.

Fern quickly approached his opponent, ten yards away, and he saw the frightened eyes of the demons, they are cowards too, it turns out that I can make them so frightened. Five yards, both demons hastily raised their weapons, ready to meet Ferne's sword, come on, I can defeat them, even two. In the light of the fire, the mercenary rushed between the two demons like a golden arrow.
