Weak.

Untalented.

For that reason, to stay behind… he had already done so much.

At least until he stepped down as commander, he absolutely could not run away from the enemy.

That was the promise he made to himself.

Fighting was terrifying.

He just wanted to run away, but if he ran away here… everything he had accomplished so far would crumble.

If he lacked talent, he just had to use what was in his hand right now.

He possessed the ridiculously overpowered weapon of time stop.

But he wouldn’t be able to survive on that alone.

Therefore, he had focused on the basics.

He put effort into gaining practical experience through sparring.

Of course, he tried to learn the Thunder Dragon Sword Technique like Helia, but it was too much for him.

The opponent was a true demon.

Among demons, it possessed top-tier strength.

In the game, it had a difficulty level that made players curse.

However, this was the first time he’d seen this particular one.

Of course, he already knew from the game and its lore that the name “Blood Demon” held a different meaning.

But he never imagined he would learn about it this way.

Calm down.

He had to resolve this somehow.

He’d managed to survive until now thanks to time stop.

If he used all of his remaining cards, he could kill this guy.

He desperately racked his brains for a solution.

First, in the game, true demons usually had up to three phases.

The first phase was a disguised form, the second was full power, and the third was a desperate struggle.

While attack patterns differed, the phases were similar.

He glanced at the demon’s state.

After its head was cut off, a flood of blood poured from its body, which had maintained a human form.

Judging by its reaction, it seemed to be in its second phase.

Soon, it revealed its true form.

A monster stood before him, as if it had shed all human skin.

However, instead of skin, flowing blood covered its muscles.

He spoke.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to hear my story?”

“Yes, that hasn’t changed. However…”

“However?”

“You seem to be on a different level from the ones I’ve faced so far.”

If the Blood Demon had merely been flicking its fingers until now, it was now moving its entire body with clear intent.

It closed the distance and threw a punch.

The demon’s fist didn’t connect.

Despite that, the surroundings turned gray.

Even without direct contact, was it possible to die from the shockwave alone?

He quickly moved back.

At the same time, he released time stop.

As expected, from the shockwave alone… everything in that spot was obliterated, leaving only dust.

Taking advantage of the opening, he swung his sword at the Blood Demon’s back.

Thud!

However, his sword simply bounced off.

It was already difficult enough to attack with two hands, let alone one.

But he didn’t have time to lament.

The demon had noticed his presence.

Time stop activated once again.

The fact that he had nearly died sent chills down his spine, but he couldn’t afford to stop.

Moreover, even dodging was difficult.

Now that he had lost an eye, his blind spots had increased, leaving him vulnerable to fatal attacks.

That was why time stop kept activating.

In other words, using time stop offensively was impossible for him in his current state.

He had too many blind spots, and the slightest lapse in concentration would lead to a fatal blow.

Then, were time acceleration and deceleration his only options?

However, he couldn’t use time acceleration recklessly.

He would suffer severe internal injuries.

Nevertheless, the only way to land a decisive blow on this demon was time acceleration.

He had no choice but to create an opening using time deceleration, which had a lesser penalty, and then land a fatal blow with time acceleration…!!

Having quickly reached this conclusion based on his experience, he immediately moved.

Time stop was still on cooldown after using it to avoid a fatal blow.

So, first, deceleration!

“…”

“This.”

Perhaps it had adapted to its slowed state because in the meantime, the demon quickly prepared itself.

It took a defensive stance despite being slowed down.

However, its movements were slow due to time deceleration.

He could see the opening.

He lunged towards the Blood Demon as if gliding.

However, time stopped once more.

Why now?!

He had even used time deceleration!

But he soon realized the reason.

The answer lay in the pool of blood beneath his feet.

He had thought it was just a puddle of blood, but the moment he stepped in, it attacked him like a trap.

Crazy… he had actually set a trap like this? Should he continue the attack from here?

No, that was a bad idea.

He couldn’t predict what tricks this demon was hiding right now.

As long as time stop was on cooldown, he couldn’t attack unless it was a guaranteed kill.

Quickly making up his mind, he retreated and deactivated time stop.

“Setting a trap… You’re more meticulous than I thought.”

“How did you know?”

“It’s obvious.”

“As expected, you’re very experienced! I want to hear more!”

“I’ve told you everything.”

Time deceleration wore off.

At the same time, a splitting headache struck him.

Apparently, the penalty for time deceleration was a headache.

Compared to time acceleration, it was a cute penalty, but still…

The headache from time deceleration hindered his fighting.

He couldn’t help but frown, but Blood Demon misinterpreted his expression.

“You don’t seem to be in a good mood?”

“Of course not. I’m fighting someone like you.”

With all its facial skin melted off, its eyeballs and facial muscles moved grotesquely.

His weak stomach churned, wanting to look away, but he couldn’t.

The moment he took his eyes off the demon, who knew when or where he might die?

Just then, time stop activated once again.

This time, blood-red spears and axes materialized behind him, aiming for his neck.

Damn it!

This opponent was no pushover.

The slightest mistake would mean death.

Every single movement was extraordinary.

Not only did he push his own movements to the limit but he also flawlessly avoided fatal blows.

Blood Demon unconsciously clicked his tongue when the commander evaded his best attack.

But then he was startled by his own reaction.

He had never felt anxious in any situation until now.

Backed by his overwhelming power, he had always held an absolute advantage.

Yet, for some reason, the more he fought against this commander, the more anxious he became.

However, Blood Demon didn’t consider this a negative change.

On the contrary, he welcomed it.

He desired new stories, new sensations and this commander was providing him with that fresh experience.

That was why a smile crept onto Blood Demon’s face.

More stories.

More experience.

To become his sustenance.

Shedding countless drops of blood, Blood Demon charged forward.

The commander reacted accordingly.

Blood Demon was pleased to see the commander move exactly as he expected.

Should he just kill him now?

No, he dismissed that thought.

His opponent was the commander of the Royal Knights.

A formidable being capable of pushing him to his limits.

He was likely one of the strongest individuals among all the continental races.

Trusting in that, Blood Demon drew upon his full power.

The countless traps laid beneath his feet, the hidden trump card veiled by his seemingly careless movements… how would the commander overcome them?

Blood Demon was filled with anticipation, and the commander lived up to his expectations.

A gigantic wave of blood, unleashed from his hand, swept away everything in its path.

However, Blood Demon could tell.

He could sense that the commander had not been swept away by the crimson flood.

Avoiding every single trap, he stood before Blood Demon.

With one remaining eye and arm, refusing to back down, he fought like a true warrior.

The commander’s sword, swung like a flash of light, once again sliced through Blood Demon’s neck.

However, even as his head was severed, Blood Demon wore a smile.
