Tacan looked at the sword .
The sword was broken into two pieces . It was what he received after being defeated by Fraeda .
Even though Tacan could repair it right away, he did not do so .
It was to find the reason, as he thought again about his defeat .
‘Didn’t I get stronger?’
He thought he had become stronger . Indeed, he had defeated many strong men and proved his own power .
However, it seemed like that was only comparable to the standards of ‘humans’ .
As much as Tacan had gotten stronger, Muyoung and Sungmin had improved even more .
As Muyoung was such a mysterious man, he felt that this could happen with him, but Sungmin was unexpected .
Even Tacan was thrilled by seeing how he had taken care of Roosevelt and even Fraeda .
The numerous deaths that resulted through Sungmin’s hands, and the monsters of the void .
Fraeda was helpless in front of Sungmin . His devils could do nothing but let themselves be attacked helplessly .
Tacan had no choice but to feel the difference in their ‘level’ in addition to Muyoung .
He felt like he was looking at a flower on top of a cliff .
However much he reached out, he couldn’t reach it .
And with Sungmin, it was an especially great shock to Tacan as he was originally weaker than him .
When did he get that far ahead of me?
What had happened in just two years?
And for the last two years, what was Tacan doing?
‘The tables have turned . ’
Even a few years ago, Sungmin was weaker than Tacan .
Perhaps he had been consumed by conceit .
‘I’m strong, I’ve become stronger, and I will get stronger . ’
Did he not put in too much thought because he thought it was so obvious?
Tacan left the territory .
The territory was celebrating their victory for the moment .
Either way, since they had stopped their enemy’s advance team, there was a bit of time before the rest of their enemies arrived .
He left the territory and entered deep into the woods .
‘The fight isn’t over yet . ’
That was right . Nothing would change by reprimanding his actions .
If Sungmin had gotten stronger, Tacan just needed to get stronger as well .
The war was the best stage on which to get stronger . Although they had taken care of the demon kings, Enroth still remained . There should be at least a few hundreds of thousands of devils under his command .
Even having a celebration right now in the territory was to relieve the tension that people felt .
Swoosh! Swoosh!
However, Tacan swung his broken sword .
He was diligently swinging his sword so that he could reduce the gap while others were playing around .
‘Certainly, I have been a bit lazy . ’
He had slightly neglected his training once he felt he had gotten stronger .
Through this fight and Sungmin’s appearance, he realized it more dearly .
Although he was one of the rulers of Asura’s Path, he was lacking strength as a ruler .
He needed to gain a bit more power to become a true ruler .
At least until he defeated Sungmin and Muyoung… he couldn’t be called a true ruler .
As a ruler only existed to win and reign!
Shuffle shuffle .
He felt someone’s presence .
Tacan stopped his swinging and carefully turned his body .
They were skillful people; he would have missed their presence if it wasn’t for the sound of wind and grass .
“Who are you?”
Was it the devils who had escaped?
Fraeda had tried to escape with his subordinates .
But if it was Fraeda and his devils who had appeared, it would be very welcoming .
Then, there two people appeared .
There were two of them, but they didn’t look so good .
An old man who had glaring eyes but a weary face, and a woman with messy hair and ragged clothing, were on a tree looking down at Tacan .
“Teacher, it’s a death knight . Can we eat it?”
“Stop it . How can you eat a monster that’s only bones . ”
It seemed like the two were starving .
Well, although it was a forest, there weren’t a lot of living creatures .
Even most of the plants were poisonous .
If a human were to consume it carelessly, they would become sick .
“Why are humans in a place like this?”
Tacan raised his sword .
However, he was curious .
The ‘Sky Lord’ would never allow intruders into the Demon God’s Territory .
Unless they were humans who normally lived in this place, there was no way for them to pass the Sky Lord to enter this territory .
The woman and the old man looked at Tacan with astonishment .
“He seems like he is quite intelligent for a death knight . ”
“We can capture him and ask him all sorts of questions . ”
Then, the two took a weird stance and leaped towards Tacan .
“I don’t know who you guys are, but don’t think you will come out of this alive since you have attacked me . ”
This was a good thing since he was feeling down at the moment .
It would have been better if it was Fraeda and the devils, but he couldn’t just let visitors who had no authorization trespass in this place .
Tacan swung his broken sword .
Slash!
The magical energy that soared out of the sword sliced through the air .
As if they had made a prior arrangement, the woman and the old man separated simultaneously .
It was to attack Tacan from multiple sides .
‘Quite good . ’
They synchronized well .
Additionally, their skills were also quite good .
Among humans, he rarely saw people who could move the way they did .
However, Tacan had already fought with those who were considered to be the ‘top 10’ .
Thud!
The woman and the old man weren’t able to cause any damage to Tacan .
They continued to attack and defend at the same time .
Although they were simple martial arts movements, their proficiency was like none other . And as they synchronized, they were able to exhibit more than their skills normally would allow them to .
‘But, it still is not enough . ’
Tacan wasn’t weak . Although he felt that when comparing himself to Muyoung and Sungmin, truthfully, Tacan was strong enough .
Tacan wielded his sword .
As the woman jumped low to avoid his attack, he twisted his body in a mysterious way to once again attack where she would land .
A death knight . It was a move that was only possible because he was already a corpse .
“Tsk!”
Clank!
Daggers flew out from the woman’s body and stopped Tacan’s sword .
“Haa! I caught you, you bastard!”
Then, the old man grabbed Tacan from behind .
The old man grabbed hold of Tacan’s whole body so hard that he could crush it .
Swoosh!
But, Tacan vanished .
As the old man squinted, the woman quickly threw a small thin sword .
“Teacher! Behind you!”
Swoosh!
However, he wasn’t able to completely defend himself .
The sword pierced the old man’s back .
With teleportation magic, Tacan was able to move behind the old man .
“You are quite skilled for a monster!”
The old man yelled as he didn’t even tend his injury .
