For a moment, everyone halted in their tracks. Mercer and Lilith were totally dumbstruck. "That’s... that’s the Demon Sword! The top legendary weapon. The Demon Monarch’s buddy. Why is it with him?" Mercer’s voice trembled. "How can he even wield it in the first place?"
"Papa? Is Uncle very strong?" Spade asked in an excited voice.
Mercer didn’t know what to say.
Verham and Kamalon were visibly shaken, too.
Merrick was also dumbfounded. But then, something flashed in his eyes. Greed.
"Kill him. We must kill him no matter what." Merrick’s voice echoed through the whole battlefield. "If you want the transportation gate, you must see through the battle to the end. And what if one of you ends up with that sword?" His words didn’t fail to raise the temptation in everyone’s hearts. "Only the Demon Monarch is supposed to wield that sword. Anyone else won’t be able to grasp its true power even if they can somehow wield it.
The orcs shared glances with each other. The dragons were still hovering. But then... All of them started rushing toward Logan at greater speed. Logan seemed definitely strong, yes. But what Merrick just said was true as well. Other than the Demon Monarch, no one else had the ability to wield the Demon Sword with its full potential.
Five orcs were at the very front. All of them were slightly taller than the rest. One had two double-headed axes. One was carrying a warhammer. The other three were carrying shields and swords.
The ground shook due to their heavy footsteps. Small stones vibrated.
But before they could even reach within fifty meters...
Whooosh!
Whoooosh!
Whoooosh!
Something whistled through the air.
Those five were still running, but all their heads were sliced apart abruptly.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
They still moved a few steps ahead like mindless drunkards before collapsing to the ground.
"H-how?!" Merrick’s soul almost left his body. He knew how strong each of those orcs were. They were the leaders, each one at the Immortal Soul realm. Yet, they were slain before they could even attack. Merrick knew. Even Kamalon wouldn’t be able to do it that swiftly. Yet here was a human, accomplishing that without even lifting a finger.
Spade, meanwhile, clapped in cheers. "Yes, Uncle. Beat those ugly uncles."
A smile tugged at Logan’s lips. He couldn’t help but be amused at his words.
A dragon stopped in mid-air and reared its head back. Lightning energy swirled inside its maw into a crackling sphere of destruction.
Then...
It thrust its head forward.
The lightning sphere shot forward.
Logan stood where he was, his fingers tightening around the sword hilt.
When the lightning sphere reached a certain range, Logan swung the Demon Sword, holding it like a bat.
The lightning sphere slammed into the broad surface of the Demon Sword, compressed a little, and then shot back in the opposite direction. Twice the speed. Twice the violent energy within the sphere.
The dragon’s pupils contracted in fear. It flapped its wings and covered itself on instinct.
The lightning sphere struck the wings. White-blue energy moved like raging serpents. The wings were charred into nothingness before the dragon could even feel it. The lightning sphere wasn’t done. It pressed forward. The dragon tried to move, but without the wings, it had no way to do that.
The crackling sphere struck at the dragon’s chest. The metal-like scales shattered as the sphere continued to dig into it.
And then...
Booooooooooooooooooooom!
The sphere went inside and blasted with a devastating sound.
Dust and smoke whipped in everyone’s faces and forced them back.
The others were shocked. Some even cowered in fear. But some... Their hearts were beating with excitement. Everyone of them weren’t still in the same line. A few believed Logan still didn’t have the ability to defeat all of them if they charged together at Logan.
Dust rose as all kept closing in toward Logan.
Logan leaned forward a little. "Looks like you won’t understand until you have no more chances left to do so."
The ground beneath Logan’s left foot cracked a little. A crimson aura swallowed him. "Demon Flame. First chain, unlock."
Whooooooooooosh!
The crimson aura whipped outward, sending a strong gust of wind in every direction.
And then, Logan moved.
His body vanished, leaving behind a blur. A crimson streak of light whistled through the air.
The dragons had stopped advancing, searching for Logan when that crimson line infiltrated them.
Schlk!
A red arc sliced a dragon in half.
Schlk!
A dragon’s claws were hovering before it protectively. It only saw a red flash before its claws were sliced, and the upper portions slid down before its whole body cleaved open.
Wherever that crimson streak passed by, dragons fell one after another.
Suddenly Logan appeared before everyone again and raised his sword. "Sword rain." He spoke calmly.
Instantly, multiple swords materialized in the air over the horde of monsters.
Logan waved his sword down.
The swords rained down one after another.
All could see with wide eyes, mouths hanging open, as with each sword, an orc was destroyed. Not just killed. Totally obliterated.
One orc raised its sword to block the attack.
But the moment the swords clashed with each other, the orc’s sword was sliced apart. Not shattered. It was cut like paper before the sword pierced through the shoulder and went all the way to the ground.
Booooom!
The next moment, a loud explosion erupted as the orc’s body was blasted into nothing.
"No, no, no." Merrick screamed in fear. "Someone, stop him for God’s sake."
"Who the hell is he?" Mercer and Logan were on the same side, yet he too couldn’t help but feel a sense of danger.
It was as if he were an ant, standing before a lion. The moment the Lion wanted, it could puff out his life with one strike.
Lilith’s eyes, meanwhile, shone with something else entirely.
Logan continued to move like a phantom. His opponents didn’t even get the chance to fight back, much less obtain the Demon Sword.
At the moment, all were staring at the crimson streak weaving between them and praying one thing desperately in their hearts. "Not here. Please, not here."
