Flillian, I want to live.

Livale bent down and spoke slowly into Monica's ear.

In Monica, Livare smelled the scent of an old friend he was very familiar with.

"Now that you want to kill that mountain master outside, it might not be impossible, right?"

After a pause, Livale continued to remind Monica.

"Eh?"

Livalai's words made Monica suddenly realize that she seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

The first was her perception of magic. She could clearly see a circle of magic emanating from Philen's body, while on Livalai's body, there was magic so powerful that she could not imagine.

She, who once knew nothing about magic, now feels that she can use the magic power that flows from her body as easily as breathing.

Monica's gaze finally stopped at the Sword of the Brave in front of her.

"I'm going to rescue them."

Monica did not try to draw the Sword of the Brave again, but turned around and walked straight out of the cave.

At least I still have things I need to accomplish.

Monica's thoughts are very pure now.

Chapter 119: Enthusiastic Mr. Livale

On the snowy plain outside the sanctuary, Erica and Doris were already locked in a bitter battle.

Despite his enormous size, the Mountain Lord's movements were surprisingly agile, leaving Doris no chance to aim her powerful attack magic.

"Can you please let it stop for a while?"

Seeing her magic power being consumed as her attacks failed again and again, Doris shouted to her companions on the ground with some anxiety.

"That's easy to say..."

Compared to the magician flying in the sky, Erica, who needs to use her physical body to face the Lord of the Mountain, obviously has to bear greater pressure.

Not to mention finding a way to control the monster in front of her that was as huge as a hill, just dealing with the opponent's continuous attacks made Erica sweat profusely.

"Mr. Brave... How long are you going to make us wait..."

At this critical moment, Erica couldn't help but glance in the direction of the sanctuary and couldn't help muttering to herself.

Fortunately, as if in response to her prayers, a familiar figure passed over her head, like a meteorite falling from the sky, and hit the Lord of the Mountain hard on the head, who was unable to dodge in time.

"Ow—"

With a painful wail, the Mountain Lord lost his balance and collapsed onto the snowy plain, as if he had been slapped in the face. Snowflakes flew everywhere, and the entire earth shook three times under the weight of the Mountain Lord's heavy body.

"Miss Doris!"

Monica, who had attacked the Mountain Lord with a headbutt because she didn't know any fighting skills, climbed up from the snow, holding her dizzy head with her hands, and looked up at Doris in the air and shouted.

"Wind gun magic."

Doris had already begun accumulating power before Monica reminded her. As the magic power spread from the tip of the staff to the surroundings, the surrounding air began to gather in a spiral shape, turning into an invisible spear and shooting towards the Lord of the Mountain who fell to the ground.

"Roar!"

It seemed that the beast's instinct made the Lord of the Mountain aware of the danger. It struggled to get up and dodge before being hit by the wind gun.

However, Monica did not give the Lord of the Mountain a chance to escape.

She didn't care about her own injuries and rushed forward to grab the other person's long hair under his jaw.

Logically speaking, no matter how strong Monica was, the Lord of the Mountain could just tear off this tuft of hair and escape successfully.

However, when the Lord of the Mountain tried to get up, he suddenly felt like a small boat tied to a huge anchor in the deep sea, unable to move at all.

what happened?

The Lord of the Mountain, extremely surprised, turned his eyes and looked at Monica.

Then it was surprised to find that at some point, the hair that Monica had grabbed had turned into a shining golden color. And it was not just a change in color. From the tips to the roots of the hair, even half of its cheek had turned into heavy gold.

puff-

Before the Lord of the Mountain could figure out what was going on, the wind gun shot by Doris had already pierced its body. Along with the neatly shaped circular wound, the Lord of the Mountain's body began to turn into black smoke and gradually dissipated into nothingness.

"We made it!"

Although she was unable to help in the end, Erica's face showed a rare expression of excitement and joy when she saw the Lord of the Mountain was successfully killed through the cooperation of the two.

"Um, Ms. Erica, I..."

However, when the huge body of the Lord of the Mountain turned into black smoke and dissipated, the person who appeared in front of Erica was not the brave man she imagined who successfully obtained the Sword of the Brave and received the power bestowed by the goddess to save the situation.

For Erica, who had been trained by the church to fight monsters and demons for many years, the girl in front of her was far from a hero, or even a human being, whether it was the sharp horns on her forehead or the smell of her body.

"What the hell is going on?"

Erica tightly gripped the chain hammer in her hand, raised the Holy Scripture of the Goddess in her other hand, and questioned Monica in a trembling voice.

"Listen to my explanation. I don't know why, but..."

Faced with the doubts raised by her companions, Monica wanted to tell them that she was not their enemy, but when the words came to her lips, her mind was a mess and she didn't know how to explain it clearly.

"You are not the hero at all. You are just a demon who has taken on her appearance."

However, Erica did not give Monica a chance to explain. Neither she nor the church could admit that the girl in front of them was Monica.

Even if it is, it must be destroyed as a fake.

"Eh? No, I..."

Seeing Erica's face gradually becoming gloomy, Monica suddenly became more panicked. She wanted to defend herself, but Erica had already rushed in front of her waving a chain hammer.

"heresy."

Erica didn't know what had happened in the sanctuary, but as the only member of the team who was responsible to the bishop and the church, she knew very well what kind of uproar would be caused if the church hero who had turned into a demon was allowed to leave here alive.

I have to say that Erica acted very decisively. After all, Monica, who had always regarded her as a companion, was not on guard against her at all. As long as she could succeed in a sneak attack, Monica, who had just awakened her demon bloodline and had no practical experience, would have no chance of survival.

"After so many years, have even the goddess's followers fallen into such a despicable state?"

A tall man suddenly appeared in front of Monica and grabbed the chain hammer that Erica swung with all her strength in mid-air with just one hand.

"You are……"

Erica was startled by this sudden appearance of Cheng Yaojin. She thought she had seen many powerful warriors, but she had never seen anyone whose body movements could be as smooth as the man in front of her, leaving her unaware.

Erica quickly let go of the chain hammer in her hand. She knew very well that with her level of warrior, she would never be able to compete with this man who suddenly appeared. However, in addition to being a warrior, she had another identity.

Erica raised the Holy Book of the Goddess in her hand, trying to use divine magic to attack the enemy in front of her.

"That's so despicable. That's why I hate people like you."

Before Erica could cast her spell, Livalai's big hand grabbed the girl's neck, and he easily picked up the girl in front of him like a chicken and lifted her into the air.

"That's why I told you that you can no longer return to the human world. But don't worry, I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the younger generations of the demons suffer. Are you interested in becoming my subordinate?"

Livalai didn't even look at the struggling Erica, but tilted his head and looked at Monica, who was standing there stupidly and a little at a loss, with a smile, and made a suggestion in a cheerful tone.

"I……"

It all happened so fast that Monica had no time to think. She looked blankly at Livalai who seemed to be helping her, opened her mouth, and tried hard to organize her words.

"Well, as a demon, your first lesson will be to eat humans. Consider this guy my welcome gift to you~"

However, Livale took Monica's slowness as a tacit agreement. He smiled slightly and increased the strength of his hand holding Erica's neck.

Chapter 120: Master Li, the Grandmaster

"Sky Strike!"

Just as Livale's hand was about to break Erica's neck and take the life of the girl who struggled hard but could not break free, a golden light shot up into the sky and slashed towards Livale's arm along with the battle axe in the boy's hand.

"roar~"

Livale released his grip on Erica's hand and dodged the powerful blow that came from the sky.

And where Livalai had just stood, a deep ravine appeared on the originally flat snowfield.

"Cut~"

As if feeling a little unhappy that his attack missed, Xutalk picked up his battle axe from the ditch, then turned to look at Livale who had dodged and jumped to the side.

"I have some impression of the attack just now."

Livale looked at Xutalk, who had completely recovered from his previous weak state, and said with a happy smile on his face.

"Really? I also heard from Master that he once encountered an incredibly powerful demon warrior."

Xutark tightly gripped the battle axe in his hand, recalling what his master Aize had once said to him.

"The demon who destroyed your village is incredibly powerful. If you ever meet him," Aize warned Hugh Tark, who had mentioned wanting to avenge his village and family, "you must flee without hesitation, for you will be no match for him."

However, even without the reminder from his master, Xu Tark could clearly recognize the strength of the great demon named Livale in front of him.

He might have reached the pinnacle of martial arts that neither he nor even his master Aize could reach.

Hugh Turk pondered in his heart.

"As long as you stay hidden in the sanctuary over there, you can rely on the barrier set up by the goddess to survive, right?"

Livare stroked his chin with his hand and asked Hugh Tark a question in a somewhat surprised tone.

"Perhaps that's right."

Xutark twisted his head and stretched his body, which was a little stiff due to the unfamiliar severe cold in the north.

"Even so, you still chose to die here?"

Livale blinked and asked in confusion.

"Master once said that a warrior who doesn't know fear will die on the battlefield sooner or later."

Xutark raised the battle axe in his hand, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Livale.

Ding--

With the crisp sound of the axe blades colliding, Livale used the battle axe in his hand to block Xutalk's attack.

"You and your master are really alike."

Livale said to Hugh Tark in a praising tone.

"Really? That's the highest compliment to me."

Xuttark turned his body and swung the huge battle axe flexibly as if it were a part of his body, slashing at Livale again and again.

"Are you trying to cover your companions' escape?"

Facing the fierce attack of Hugh Tark, Livale seemed very calm. He held the axe in one hand and blocked all of Hugh Tark's attacks. At the same time, he seemed to have noticed something and turned to look at Erica who he had just thrown to the ground.

Doris had just lifted up the dying Erica and was about to use flying magic to take her away.

Did he notice?

Hugh Tark did not answer Livale's question, but he knew that if he wanted to hold Livale back, the previous painless attacks might not work.

Sky-high strike!

Hugh Tark leaped up and swung the axe handle with all his might, once again unleashing the strongest attack he had learned from Aize.

"Oh, that's incredible. You've already reached 70% of your master's original power."

However, to Hugh Turk's surprise, this time Livale did not dodge his attack like he did last time.

Instead, he caught the sharp axe blade directly with his palm.

The powerful blow that could split a towering rock wall only caused a not-too-deep wound on Livale's palm.

"Humans are truly terrifying. If time passes, perhaps you and your companions will truly become a threat to me."

Livale used his injured palm to tightly grasp the axe blade of Hugh Tark, making it impossible for Hugh Tark to shake it no matter how hard he tried. Then he turned his head and looked at Doris who was taking off with Erica.

"So I'm sorry, you all have to die here today."

A sharp javelin appeared in Livalai's hand. Then, he swung his arm and threw the javelin out seemingly casually.
