Chapter 132 - 132. You've Changed a Lot Since I Couldn't See You, Leon (3)

In the dark woods, a man and a woman walked leisurely down the road with a leisurely gait.

Two dark horns sprouted from their foreheads, indicating that they were the 'Evil tribe' led by the 'Madam'.

Madam suddenly asked to raid an orphanage in a nearby village, and her men were on their way through the forest to the orphanage.

"Tsk, I don't really like killing orphans..."

The male demon holding the sword on his shoulder mumbled.

However, they could not disobey the order of 'Madame', the only one in the city with dark red horns.

At his pointless murmuring, another female demon holding a well-cut wooden staff opens her mouth.

"Come now?"

"I'm an orphan too."

"You're saying something funny. How many orphans do you think there were among the humans you ate from 'Madame'? Probably most of them were orphans? Most of the guys who can disappear and not get sick are those orphans."

Mumbling at her rebuttal, the man scratches his head with the handle of the sword he was holding.

"...Is that so? Then there's no help."

"..."

The woman shook her head as if she was fed up with his ignorance.

"Rather than that, why is it an orphanage? What's in here?"

"Do you know, Nandl... What can I do? I have to keep my mouth shut and follow you. They say they will give you three humans per two people when this job is over. Isn't it a lot if you set up a small orphanage and get three?"

The man sticks out his tongue and licks his lips.

"Asshole... Please think about it and live. If it was an ordinary orphanage, would you take this many people?"

The woman finished her sentence in a rather harsh tone and turned her head to look around the forest.

In this forest, besides them, other demons under 'Madam' were heading to the orphanage.

It was a significant number.

It was to the point where I wondered if all the demons who were leisurely in the city had gathered together.

"What's going on in the orphanage..."

The man grumbled so much, but when he heard it, he slurred his words because he was a little strange.

As she said, it was too much for the number of people raiding an 'ordinary orphanage'.

They looked across the forest like that and were walking forward again.

The male demon who was leading the way stopped walking.

"...Person."

Immediately after the man's words were spat out, the woman behind her corrected her stance by pointing at the staff.

Was what I just said a problem?

The composure that had been seen before had disappeared from their faces.

The time when a man gulped his saliva.

A rustling sound comes from the direction the woman pointed her staff at.

ㅡ Basrak.

Soon, something small pops out from between the dark bushes.

"...What?"

The man, whose arm holding his sword twitched slightly, expressed his doubts.

"Are you a kid?"

The one who appeared through the bushes was none other than a young girl with blonde hair and red eyes.

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

After a while, the relaxed man approaches the girl and bends his knees to meet the girl at eye level.

"..."

The girl's red eyes trembled violently, as if she was frightened by the man's appearance.

"Are you a child from an orphanage?"

The woman behind her also comes up with her staff down and observes her girl closely.

"Come here, kid. We're not scary people."

As the man said that and gestured to the blonde girl, the hesitant girl stopped stepping back from her.

The madam ordered all the children from the orphanage to be captured and coloneled in front of her.

"...What are those horns...?"

The girl who approached cautiously pointed to the black horn on the man's forehead and asked.

The girl was still young and didn't seem to know her demons well.

Soon, the male demon, who was bending her knees, thrusts her horn into her girl as if boasting, knocking her horn and opening her mouth.

"This? What is it, the devil's horn. How about it, is it a little cool?"

Even though the girl revealed that the man was her demon, she fully approached the man and watched her horn with a whoosh.

"...Can I touch it?"

"Okay. Touch it."

The female demon, who had been watching the male demon silently touch her horn to her girl, closed her eyes tightly and let out a sigh.

'Is it a good fit because he and I are of the same mental age?'

The moment that thought passed through the woman's head.

A strange sound is heard in her ears.

ㅡPpogak.

The sound of something hard breaking and breaking.

At the strange sound, the woman opens her eyes, and immediately the girl holding the man's broken horn in her hand enters her eyes.

"Uh?"

The embarrassing incident happened in an instant, and the man felt his forehead, where his horns were 'attached', as if he hadn't even had time to feel pain.

Naturally, the horns were not touched.

The horn, which should have been there, was now held in the small hand of the girl in front of him.

"..."

The girl's red eyes opened nonchalantly, capturing her own broken black antlers.

The girl broke the man's horn.

With those tiny, immaculate hands that didn't look like a single callus.

Eventually, the pain of broken horns comes to the male demon.

"Oh shit...!"

The man tried to scream along with the swearing.

Exactly, I 'did' to do that.

But...

ㅡPoo-wook.

... The man's screams are silenced as the girl holding her horn rams it into his neck.

Then black blood gushed from the man's neck.

The girl, who has maintained her expressionless expression, pulls out the horn from the man's neck.

"Kkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkeukkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeuk

The man hurriedly twisted his neck to block it, but could not stop all of his gushing blood.

The girl leaned over to avoid the blood splashing on her.

Even so, I couldn't avoid all the blood splattering in all directions.

Eventually, a few drops splashed onto the girl's pale face.

"Ah."

The girl frowning at her disgustedly wiped the black blood from her own face.

At the same time, the man who had vomited a large amount of blood at once fell to the floor.

"Wh... What..."

The female demon, who had her eyes on all this situation, hesitated and took a backward step.

The red eyes of the girl who casually threw back her companion's horns were now on her.

The woman pointed her staff at the girl, but her hands didn't want to stop shaking.

It was embarrassing enough that in a short time of just a few seconds, a male demon who was her colleague died without much resistance from a child who was twice as small as him.

What was even more embarrassing was...

"You, you... What is the identity...?!"

That she felt 'fear' from that tiny little... Slender little girl.

It wasn't just because her colleague was brutally killed by the girl.

Fear like an imprint on the flesh, close to instinct.

The girl strides her short legs forward.

She hurriedly raised Magi, aiming her staff at her trembling hand.

ㅡTot.

The girl disappears from her sight.

The woman moved her head around and around, but eventually allowed the girl to approach.

The girl, who appeared with her golden hair flowing, appeared right next to the woman...

----Bah!

...And kicked her in the leg with his short leg.

The woman's body, whose legs to support it, collapsed, fell to the ground with an incredible power that was unbelievable from the body of a child.

The girl didn't miss it.

Her girl's fist is directed against the face of a woman who has fallen to her own diminutive stature, obscuring her vision.

ㅡ Kwakdeuk...

The woman's face is crushed by the girl's superpower.

ㅡpain!

The sound of her head exploding echoed through the gloomy forest, and the brains from the woman's head spattered the surrounding trees with a patter.

"..."

The girl staring at the corpse of her demon with her head missing quietly brushed off the black liquid on the back of her hand.

The blonde girl, Rei, was once a hero.

The warrior known for handling the holy sword wasn't the only one who knew how to handle the holy sword.

No matter what weapon she wields, Ray has the ability to handle it effortlessly.

What's unique is that this isn't her strength as a warrior, it's purely her talent.

If the body is also a weapon, it is a weapon.

It was Ray who was also good at martial arts.

'There is a boss.'

It was Ray who could handle the small rodents as easily as he does now, but if he was a demon enough to command a large number of demons, it would not be an easy opponent.

I haven't even been able to properly hold the holy sword in my hand yet. The size is also large, but it was a problem to maintain it after summoning it.

That's a situation where you can't escape.

Judging from the mention of the orphanage by the demons who had just died, they knew that there was an orphanage ahead.

Ray clenches her fist.

I couldn't let the demons reach the orphanage.

However, the current Ray, who was only a young girl, was not strong enough to deal with strong demons. Even if she died while dealing with the demons, she would have no words to say.

She was a Ray who clearly knew her limits, but...

... She picked up her sword that had fallen on the other side of her and stepped forward without a moment's hesitation to the place where she could feel the presence of her demons.

If you can't protect people, what's the use if you keep your life?

Ray was a warrior.

The warrior was such a being.

***

"...Why don't you give up now?"

Madam, Sezris asked the golden-haired girl in front of her in a soft voice.

"..."

Ray raised her tattered body to her feet, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

'A hero is a 'hero'...?'

Sezris, who was looking at Ray like that, got a little goosebumps.

Sezris succeeded in finding her 'treasure box' through the information of her demon who covered her eyes with a bandage named 'Jorgal' who had visited her before.

The true identity of the treasure chest is a warrior who is no different from a natural enemy to the demons.

Sezris knew very well that if he killed Ray, the hero in front of him, he would be able to put the whole world under the control of the demon after the resurrection of the demon king.

However, Jorgal, who gave the information to Cezris, said that he must capture the hero unconditionally in order to break the 'bridle'.

He had no intention of responding.

Even if it wasn't necessary, it seemed better to be captured alive in order to be credited.

However, Ray was not thinking about collapsing.

'They said that a treasure chest would never become a 'Mimic'... But considering that they haven't summoned a holy sword yet, is it hard to call it a Mimic?'

The sword that was supporting her body, not suitable for her small size, was definitely not a holy sword.

From her memory, it seems to have been one of the swords carried by one of her own subordinates.

The ugly, ordinary sword was covered with the blood of demons, giving off a dark glow.

Madam, all the demons brought by Sezris were decapitated by that little girl.

Her subordinates didn't respond, and before Cezris, who noticed her strangeness, came to her, Ray's side first.

However, Ray was exhausted from having already dealt with many demons, and a dark red horn sprouted from Sezris' forehead.

So, the result was obvious.

At this point, Sezris judged that it wasn't that Ray wasn't summoning her holy sword, it was that he couldn't.

"Whoa..."

Rey, who had grabbed her sword and expelled her wild breath, straightened her posture and controlled her breathing.

ㅡTot.

After a short leap, Ray rushes towards Sezris.

Immediately, her Ray's sword flew towards Sezris' neck.

"You're annoying..."

Sezris, who breathed demonic energy into her body, managed to dodge her Ray's sword.

No matter how brave she is, her young girl's body strength must have been in a state of complete loss, but her Ray's sword strike was threatening her.

ㅡChaechaeng!!

Sezris, who was avoiding Ray's sword, blocked hers with her dagger.

Right after her, it was Rey who had thrust her fist into her remaining arm with her pure white light, but her arm was too short to reach her Cezris.

ㅡ Pleasant!

Cezris gave her a hard kick in Ray's stomach.

The girl's fairly light body flies through the air and hits a tree on the other side of her, causing her to fall to the ground.

"Ugh..."

Grasping her land, Rey tried to raise her body again, but she couldn't hold it any longer.

The girl's body, which had not yet grown properly, reached its limit before long.

"Haa... I finally see the end."

Sezris, who had been spitting out those words, slowly approached Ray.

Lay, who was lying on her floor, didn't move much, as if he didn't even have the strength to lift her finger.

She seemed that way, at least to Cezris.

However, Ray was thinking of 'one last move' in the midst of a crisis of desperation.

'If it's a summons...'

Even though Ray couldn't wield her holy sword, she was able to summon her.

Even now, if she just chanted, the 'star' that fell from the sky would reach her fingertips.

And as long as the demons were standing in the position where the holy sword would fall... They would touch the holy sword and split it in half, or even if they couldn't, they would be thrown back by the shock of the summoning.

'Aim for the right time.'

By the time Ray had finished thinking about it.

ㅡ I'm glad.

Cezris, approaching her Ray, kicks her once more.

"Kuhh..."

Ray, hit by Cezris' foot, rolls over her on the ground.

Pain throbbed through her body, but Ray didn't let go of her concentration.

"There's nothing special. Even the warrior."

Sezris looked down at Ray.

"..."

Looking up, Ray thought that this was a great opportunity.

The odds of success are half.

It was the time when Ray glanced at the place where her sword had fallen so that she could pick up her sword and fight again if it did not fit her holy sword properly and only bounced off her impact.

At that moment, Ray's world slows down.

Her legs, which Cezris had lifted to step on her head, were moving very slowly.

'...What?'

Ray has doubts about a strange phenomenon that appeared without any warning.

It was definitely a fleeting moment.

However, the girl, the reincarnated warrior Ray, was clearly visible.

A dark-haired man appeared from the other side of the forest, running at an unbelievable speed in a world where everything had slowed down.

A white bandage was wrapped around the eyes of the man who was holding the red sword in reverse, so his eyes naturally focused there.

Those words popped into Ray's mind as he watched this.

Blind swordsman.

Soon, the blind man's sword, which arrived in front of her, was swung away without delay.

A red sword the same color as Ray's pupils passed through the neck of Sezris, who was raising her leg in front of her.

Then, her blood was scattered and the lead sword that was connected like water flowed.

ㅡ Tak.

With the clear lead sound, the flow of time returns to normal.

"...It must have been too late."

After a moment of silence, the voice of the blind man who bent his knees continued.

Only then could Sezris see her.

The appearance of her blind demon, 'Jorgal', who planned all of this and informed her.

But why did he come here, why is he having such a conversation with the hero lying below, not himself...

Cezris wanted to ask about it, but her voice wouldn't come out.

'Why?'

As the question passed, Sezris' vision fell to the floor.

ㅡShoot ah...

Eventually, Cezris' head separates from the body, and his blood spurts out.

"..."

Ray still couldn't move her body, so she looked up.

"It was really dangerous..."

Drops of black blood pour down from the back of the blind man who spat out those words and smiled benevolently.

'Is it an ally...?'

I couldn't confirm it yet, but the blind man's smile showed no signs of harming himself.

Looking at the dark-haired blind man, Ray thought.

Despite the fact that his eyes are invisible because they are covered with white bandages.

A guy who really looks like a 'parasitic brother'.
