An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

The power of the Demon King has increased even more. If we relax even a little, the barrier may be broken immediately.

(Is this the Demon King? In terms of magical power alone, he surpasses Meredith!)

So far, apart from the Apostle of God, Oscar has never seen a more powerful magical torrent than Meredith.

Oscar only heard the sound of Lassar's footsteps approaching. He stared at him fiercely and suddenly realized something.

(Is there power injected into the headband?)

Oscar had long recognized the Demon King's headband as a divine artifact, but did it draw its power from somewhere else? Oscar didn't understand its principle. Even the most accomplished alchemist couldn't figure it out, only sensing a strange feeling.

However, the other party did not give him more time to observe.

"Your artifact is magnificent, Oscar Orcus."

Even at this moment, the Black Knight was still battling the old general, preventing him from getting close. Rasl watched the Black Knight admiring him with an expression that could almost be described as innocent.

The peerless artifact user is indeed extremely obsessed with artifacts.

"Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not happy at all."

Oscar looked at Meredith on his chest.

The attack and defense just now seemed to have taken a considerable toll on her, and the heat in her body was no longer the high fever that a human would have. Oscar was worried and anxious, and his heart was burning with anxiety.

Even though he took out the healing potion and tried to feed it to Meredith, she seemed to have lost the strength to even swallow it. Her breathing was rapid, her pupils were unable to focus, and she seemed to be in a state of haziness.

Lasser asked without any concern for the two people's situation:

"How about it? Do you want to become mine?"

"What did you say?"

Oscar used "Holy Severance" while casting the healing light generated by "Holy Light" from the inside. This was for his own healing, but also to allow Milady to recover as much as possible.

Since "Holy Light" is a magic that heals external injuries, I can't expect any effect, but it's better than doing nothing.

"Overthrowing the Church is your lifelong wish, isn't it? Isn't that the same as ours?"

"To be precise, we are fighting against the values of human supremacy, Your Majesty, the King who upholds demon supremacy."

Lasser smiled wryly.

"That's quite blunt. But I suppose that's why I wanted to take a hostage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lasser smiled mischievously.

"Then for the prosperity of the demons, I have no choice but to ask you to become the cornerstone."

Cracks appeared on "Holy Absolute".

It seems that the power of the artifact that controls shadows will increase in proportion to the amount of magic power.

Oscar confirms his status with Miledy.

Most of his strength was used in "Holy Spell", and Oscar himself was still far from fully recovered due to his serious injuries. Meredith seemed to be breathing a little easier, but there was still no significant improvement.

(Damn it! What should I do?! In this situation, should I abandon Bandu and the experiment subjects and take them away? What is the best strategy? Think quickly! Oscar Orcus!)

Although my mind was about to overheat from thinking, it was difficult to escape in the current situation.

Just when my head was getting too hot, I heard Lasser say:

"Well, it's not a foolish dream to use Ban's magic to mass-produce Age of God magicians...but if you think about it, it would be a pity for the Princess of Raison."

"What?"

"No, aren't you curious? What kind of child will that Lassen and the Demon King have?"

Oscar said nothing, but Lasser ignored him and continued as if he had come up with a good idea:

"The only drawback is that she's not a demon... But even considering that, it's still worth a try."

"You plan to marry Meredith and become your princess?"

"As for status, that's another matter. But don't worry, I'm a gentleman who believes in women's supremacy. As long as I can win her heart, I will cherish her. Even if it doesn't work out, for the sake of our future, she will take the initiative to accept it—"

Rasl spoke endlessly about his dream of a glorious future for the demons, but someone spoke in a tone colder than ice:

"That future will never happen."

That person is Oscar.

He looked straight at Rasl with calm eyes.

"I've already made up my mind. Wherever Meredith wants to go, I'll accompany her, even if it means going to the eighteen levels of hell. But it won't be by your side."

No matter what the reason, even if Meredi fell in love with Rasl.

"I won't let her go."

Oscar unconsciously hugged Mireidi tightly. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but rather than the force of the hug, it felt like Mireidi's body was leaning towards him.

"...Really? Men who are too serious are disliked, right?"

For a moment, Lasser seemed to be shocked and closed his mouth, but he regained his composure and made a joke.

Then, his eyes immediately became as cold as ice.

"Precious materials, become my food."

I saw red magic power erupting, and at the same time, "Holy Absolute" finally couldn't bear it and shattered.

Oscar immediately jumped upwards, relying on the "reflective wall" of his black boots.

The area below was blocked by the vortex of shadow spears, and then the spear array immediately flew over to chase the prey.

Oscar destroyed all the gun arrays with the "Great Demon Sword Explosion" and shot the "Great Demon Sword Scorching" at Rasil.

Ra'sl countered it with the compressed Blue Flame Spear.

Amidst the blast and heat wave, Lasser, with his amazing physical enhancement, quickly approached Oscar.

The blood-red sword came straight at him, and Oscar blocked the attack with his folded black umbrella.

Two, three, four times, the two men stepped on the air and their weapons collided with each other.

However, although Oscar held Meredith in one hand, he was at a disadvantage, mostly due to Rasser's skillful swordsmanship. In a blink of an eye, Oscar was forced into a desperate situation.

(This swordsmanship...is the same as Bandu's!)

Bandu's skills are more advanced, but even so, it is still first-class swordsmanship. Oscar, whose martial arts level is only enough for self-defense, is fundamentally different from him.

“Guuuuuuuu!”

Oscar's body was slashed repeatedly. Although he barely avoided it and was not fatally injured, the splattered blood was like a blood-red flower blooming with Oscar as the center.

"Those glasses are also a magical item. I really want them."

"It's ten years too early for you to use it."

Black Glasses' amplified senses barely made up for the difference in swordsmanship, and Lasser couldn't help but admire him. Oscar responded with his signature move.

It was the light from the glasses. Lasser couldn't help but take a few steps back when he was hit by the powerful light at such a close distance.

Oscar took advantage of this opening and leaped back, trying to create distance. But Rasl, as if seeking revenge for the flash, counterattacked with a lightning strike.

"Ah!"

Oscar let out a brief cry, but still protected Meredith and landed on his back.

At the same time, due to a slight mistake in control, the Black Knight was cut into pieces by the old general and turned into scrap metal.

The old general directly joined the siege of Nizu.

As Oscar became paralyzed and unable to move, Ra'sl approached, ready to deliver the final blow.

"I want to protect..."

The one who raised his hand is...

"Hmm, as expected of Lacen! He can still use magic in that situation!"

It's Meredith.

Her pupils were unfocused, her body was shaking, and her face was red from a high fever.

Mireidi murmured, "I will protect, I must protect", and used all the magic she could, including wind, fire, thunder, water, etc., to confront Ra'lar.

Seeing her heroic appearance...

Seeing her faith remain unshaken even in a high fever...

"Enough... Enough, run away, run away!"

When he came to his senses, Bandu had already shouted, telling Milady and the other two to leave him and the experimented subjects behind and escape on their own.

Oscar and the others shouted in their hearts: How could we possibly do such a thing?

"Haha, that won't do."

Lasser mocked and counterattacked with magic. Meredith was blown away by the magic, but Oscar caught her and they both fell to the ground.

"Ben, just stand there and watch. There's nothing you can do anyway."

Bandhu lowered his head.

Hearing what Rasl said, bitter memories reappeared in his mind, memories full of pain and sadness.

"Yes, that's fine. All you have to do is obey me."

As long as they obey, Lasser will not attack his people.

Apart from the minimum necessary measures, Rasl would not take any action against the subjects.

"No matter how hard you struggle, you will always be exploited and you can't protect anything."

Yes, that's right, I've always been like this. I've been taken advantage of, and I've endured it to the end, but in the end, I still end up losing important people and things.

and so……

──Hold your head high and chest out!

They are struggling now...

——You have nothing to be ashamed of!

Who are they fighting for? Who dragged them into this? Who is the one who truly has no shame?

Those who still dare not raise their heads at this time!

"Don't underestimate me, I...I am the heir of the bloodline of demons and dragons!"

Bandu told himself this, and disgusting memories flashed in his mind.

The memories that had been buried until now tormented his heart and even made him feel like his head was about to boil.

but……

You have to live for others.

There is no way that you can just stand by and watch your loved one being killed by you.
