It was done in seconds.

He was defeated in one move.

As a Flame Demon and a powerful member of the demon race, he can be considered a pillar of the demon race under the Demon King.

Torres, the Lord of the Flame Demons, can destroy half of the capital city with a single charged attack if no powerful opponent of similar strength is present to restrain him.

However, even such a master was killed in a single move during the operation to ambush and kill the hero, without even the ability to resist.

What was he thinking when he saw El? Was he going to unleash his flames and turn the enemy to ashes?

Or should I use my unparalleled strength to tear this overconfident young man to pieces and devour him?

We don't know anymore; we no longer know what the deceased was thinking.

This infamous fire demon lost consciousness after only hearing that person's voice.

"Excuse me, could you please let me pass?"

The Flame Demon Lord was completely bewildered, as golden-red blood gushed from the severed wound, burning in mid-air.

El brushed past his first target, but instead of disposing of the carcass as usual, he didn't proceed directly to deal with it.

After all, time was quite tight this time.

"With so many top-quality prey, I should seize the opportunity to catch them all before they realize what's happening."

If they realized my strength, they wouldn't be leisurely hiding here.

El was confident that even if all the monsters present rushed at him, they wouldn't be able to leave a single one alive before he ran out of energy.

However, if they all run away, out of a dozen or so high-level monsters, there's a real chance that one or two might escape.

"Keep going, keep going. None of you are getting away today."

His sword was swift; his next target, a lich who had existed for a thousand years, was sliced ​​open vertically.

The ancient undead originally wanted to mock the young man for his lack of experience, but the lich will not die as long as the phylactery is still intact.

Even when facing the power of light, death at most weakens that power.

"Foolish fellow, I'll be back soon to deal with you... wait, what's going on? This darkness?!"

El did not use the power of light, but the darkness that was enough to devour light, along with the lich's soul connection, used the power of curses to consume the life box as well.

"Are you the monster, or am I?"

With this in mind, the lich was transformed into soul essence, which was then eaten by El as a snack.

The incident with the Flame Demon was so sudden that no one had time to react.

This time, the lich, such a powerful magician, was killed. The monsters present realized that the newly born hero could detect their presence.

Moreover, they can't win.

"Damn it, is this also the power of the Holy Sword? I've never heard of it before, yet it can see through our flawless disguise?"

(El: It is not the Holy Sword.)

These monsters turned and ran, abandoning their earlier promise to hunt down the hero.

They can't beat them, they seem completely outmatched. This level of strength would require at least the Demon King himself to take action, right?

In order to run faster, these demons, who already lacked any tacit understanding or unity, even used interference magic on their companions who were closer to El.

It's like that famous joke: My friend, I can't outrun a bear, but I can outrun you.

"I want to live! I must live!"
