Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

But soon she remembered something.

"But they ruined my wine collection. Even if I contributed this bottle of Dragon God Orb Wine, it doesn't mean that it can be forgiven!"

"about this……"

Mu Ya seemed to want to explain something.

However, Atofi had no intention of listening at all.

She waved her hand and announced immediately:

"No matter what, we must not let the other party get away so easily."

"In the name of the Undead Demon Lord Atofilatofi Rebek, I order all the guards in the fortress to follow me and pursue the brave group!"

Following Atofi's order.

Hundreds of black-armored troops were mobilized, riding on monsters and rushing out of the fortress like a tide.

……

……

A few hours later.

the other side.

"Ron, we're here."

Rudius wiped his sweat and said while suppressing his excitement.

After several hours of fleeing, the two finally reached the edge of the Black Dragon Valley. They only needed to cross the Black Dragon Valley and find the transfer magic circle deep in the valley to escape this dangerous place.

Ron didn't say anything, but just turned his head and looked behind him silently.

As the two of them were on their way, a cloud of dust rose up into the sky. In the dust, they could vaguely see countless soldiers in black armor riding ferocious monsters galloping towards them.

And rushing at the forefront of the black-armored army was the terrifying demon king who was waving a greatsword and laughing loudly.

Atofi's speed is much faster than expected.

"Have you caught up?"

Rudeus frowned slightly.

"Want to start a fight here? Or keep running, Ron?"

"Rudeus, you haven't forgotten the three things you promised me before you left, right?"

"what?"

"If someone must stay behind to cover our retreat, that person can only be me."

Ron said, gripping the Dragon Slaying Sword tightly in his hand and taking a step forward.

Rudius was stunned.

He looked at Ron's expressionless face and panicked for a moment.

"No...wait, what do you mean? Are you saying you want to stay and fight Atofi and the Royal Guards alone? Don't be silly, that's pure suicide. Instead of that, we should escape together!"

Rudius was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Let's run away. Atofi may not be able to catch up with us..."

"No, the Gasro region is Atofi's territory. If that's the case, her familiarity with the Black Dragon Valley is no less than ours. If we just enter the Black Dragon Valley like this, we'll inevitably be caught up before we even reach the transfer magic circle. Therefore, someone must stay behind to slow Atofi down."

"Are you kidding me? Why do you think I followed you?"

Rudius grabbed Ron by the collar and stared angrily into his calm eyes.

"We have to go back together alive, right? Qixing, Sarah, aren't they waiting for you to come back?"

Rudeus's questioning was deafening.

Still, Ron shook his head.

"If Atofi reaches the transfer magic circle first, then everything will be over. So someone must stay behind to cover our retreat."

"Even if you say so..."

"Besides, I'm only planning to hold them back a bit. As soon as I confirm you've reached the transfer spell, I'll come find you."

Looking at the army getting closer and closer.

Ron slapped Rudeus on the back.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get going!"

Human-God Chapter: 127, Challenge! The Immortal Demon King

What is a brave man?

Everyone may have a different answer.

For Ron, a brave man is someone who goes to a battlefield knowing he has no chance of winning and challenges an enemy that is almost impossible to defeat, not for his own selfish desires but purely to help others.

Ron didn't think he was much of a hero.

Because no matter how powerful the enemy is, the brave will always return victorious.

But even so.

Ron is still willing to be a brave man who goes to the battlefield to protect others.

"Trust me, Rudeus."

Facing Rudeus's indescribable expression, Ron spoke solemnly again.

"There's no time to waste. Find the transfer magic circle and send me a signal. Then I'll come back to find you."

"hateful……"

Rudeus frowned.

Looking at Atofi getting closer and closer, he knew it was too late for him to change Ron's mind.

He could only curse inwardly, then without looking back, he took the Socas grass and ran towards the depths of the Black Dragon Valley.

Ron watched Rudeus leave.

Not until Rudius's figure completely disappeared did he retract his gaze and look at the army that was gradually approaching in the distance.

Next, he had to buy enough time for Rudeus.

Until it is confirmed that Rudeus has safely arrived at the transfer magic circle.

……

……

A huge army poured out from the Nekros Fortress and swept in.

When Atofi, leading the charge, reached the entrance to Black Dragon Valley, he couldn't help but raise his brows. The expected panicked escape hadn't occurred. Instead, a young man, wielding a greatsword, appeared, seemingly waiting there for a long time.

"Okay, have the guts!"

A ferocious smile appeared on Atofi's face.

"Muya, ask everyone to stop."

"Yes."

Behind Muya Atofi, who is Atofi's confidant and the commander of the Royal Guards.

After receiving the order, he immediately issued instructions to the guards behind him.

The mighty army stopped in front of Ron amid the roars of their monster mounts.

"You're quite courageous, brave man."

Atofi flapped his bat-like wings and descended from the sky, staring down at Ron condescendingly.

"You are not the first hero to attempt to challenge the Demon King, and I'm afraid you won't be the last, but I don't think anyone would do something as foolish as you."

"Why! You want to! Destroy my wine collection!"

Atofi roared this out in anger.

Ron shrugged helplessly.

"Lord Atofi, this is actually a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstand?"

"Yes, to be exact, there was an explosion in your basement, and I was also a victim..."

"Ha! You're telling me such a baseless lie, do you think I'm stupid?"

Atofi swung a large sword that was totally disproportionate to his slender arms, and a hideous smile was already on his blue-skinned face.

Ron looked at Mu Ya for help.

Then the latter just sighed and said nothing.

At this point, he probably feels that no matter what he says, it's useless... Or maybe even he is doubting whether he has been deceiving people from the beginning and has other intentions.

After all, it is unbelievable to exchange Dragon God Orb Wine for Socas Grass or something like that.

Atofi grinned and held the great sword in front of him.

"However, since you have come here through so much hardship, I still intend to give you a chance."

"I am the Undead Demon King Atofilatofi Rebek, and I have decided to grant you the right to challenge me. If you can defeat me here, I will have no complaints about everything that happened before. I mean what I say!"

"But if you lose, be prepared to face the Demon King's wrath."

Atofi said.

He raised the greatsword with his slender arm and pointed it at Ron.

"Come, brave man, show your courage and strength! This is a privilege specially granted by the Undead Demon King Atofilatofi Rebek!"

"Is this the only way..."

Ron gripped the hilt of the Dragon Slaying Sword and turned his head to look at Mu Ya beside him.

The latter took a step forward and said lightly:

"We will not interfere with Master Atofi's battle. Please demonstrate your strength."

"Ok."

Hearing Mu Ya say this.

Ron took a deep breath and wrapped the invisible fighting spirit around his whole body.

Facing Atuofei, Ron slowly lowered his body and put the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand into a high-level stance.

Seeing this, Atofi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Oh? Sword God Style moves? You're pretty impressive to be able to use Sword God Style moves with that kind of weapon."

"But don't think I'll be easily defeated like the other enemies. I'm the direct disciple of the Northern God Kalman!"

Atofi said as he also raised his sword and took a stance.

Ron said nothing.

His goal is to delay time, so it would be best if the stalemate could continue like this.

However, Atofi seemed to have noticed Ron's plan and soon showed an impatient expression.

"Since you don't want to take the initiative to attack, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

After saying that, Atuofei swung his sword and rushed towards Ron head-on.
