◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
An ignorant fool might think it was only three.
But for three true demons to descend just to punish the remnants of the Royal Knights was an exceptional event.
However, it was inevitable.
The Royal Knights were the only monsters on this land that had ever given them a hard time.
They had to burn this land to the ground, leaving no stone unturned, to ensure they would never rise again.
With that in mind, even in their urgent situation, three true demons had descended upon this land.
However, Beast, the giant true demon, was a little late in recognizing the situation.
The time for the decisive battle had come.
He roared, signaling the start of the fight.
The problem was what happened afterward.
When he came to his senses, Beast found his head buried in the ground.
“What just happened…?!”
Naturally, there was a hierarchy even among true demons and while Beast wasn’t at the top like Blood Demon, he wasn’t at the bottom, barely holding onto the title of true demon.
Yet, here he was, a true demon, with his head stuck in the ground, unable to do anything.
Only one being came to mind who could do such a thing.
Black hair flared skyward like flames.
The moment Yuren saw Beast, she unleashed the power of her Dragon Heart.
A dragon’s form was divided into three stages.
One was the polymorph stage, where they could transform into any form they desired.
The other was returning to their true dragon form.
Polymorph offered great flexibility but lacked power.
Conversely, the dragon form boasted overwhelming strength.
However, skilled dragons could advance to a third stage, which involved compressing and releasing their dragon power.
In other words, it was like wielding the overwhelming power of a dragon form with the flexibility of a polymorph form.
However, Yuren couldn’t maintain this form for long due to her damaged heart.
“Going all out from the start. You seem to be in a hurry.”
“There’s no time to waste on words.”
“I agree.”
“?!”
Still with his head buried in the ground, Beast grabbed Yuren’s ankle with his hands and shoved her forward with all his might.
Caught off guard by the sudden force, Yuren lost her balance and was pushed back a considerable distance.
‘Compared to the past, my current strength is only about 40%, but still… he pushed me back with brute force.’
Due to Comprachico’s scheme, Yuren’s Dragon Heart, the source of her dragon power, had been severely damaged.
It was a wicked scheme that should have killed her instantly, but…
Thanks to the commander’s help, she had barely managed to survive and that was why she could fight here again.
Soon, the magic power flowing from her Dragon Heart enveloped her body like armor.
‘She’s lost her former ferocity, but she has recovered more strength than when she was captured. I see, there was a reason to rush the attack.’
Beast had seen it with his own eyes.
Her fighting on par with their leader in the past.
Especially the power she unleashed when she opened up the full power of her Dragon Heart at the end was no joke.
Thanks to her final struggle, risking her life, the already heavily damaged true demons had suffered even greater losses.
Some had even died and been extinguished in the process.
The current Yuren was cute compared to her past self.
When she was captured, she was so weak that she could barely move.
Considering that…
‘If I don’t kill her now, it’ll be dangerous.’
It wasn’t just a matter of regaining her strength.
In the past, she had only wielded her overwhelming power recklessly.
But now, she was controlling her power precisely.
What if that overwhelming power was combined with refined technique?
Despite being a true demon, Beast felt a chill run down his spine.
Fortunately, if they only considered raw power, he was currently stronger than Yuren.
Kaboom!!!
Their fists, swung like lightning, collided.
The impact shook the ground, and cracks appeared in the sturdy walls.
She was the one who lost the battle of strength.
Her balance broke, and her stance crumbled.
Now was his chance.
Beast immediately closed the distance, aiming for her heart once more.
In the past, he couldn’t even scratch her, his attacks bouncing off her power, but…
Now that her heart was weakened, he should be able to kill her with a single blow.
That was his judgment.
Until he saw the smile on Yuren’s lips.
“What…?!”
Alarm bells rang in his head, warning him of danger.
So, he hurriedly tried to pull back his fist.
If a hammer of blazing flames hadn’t crushed his arm, he would have succeeded.
“You fell for the trap! Bayard!!”
“I know! Don’t rush me, you bastard!”
“… Ugh!!!”
“Do you remember me? You damn beast?!”
A giant bear charged forward like a cannonball, using its massive size.
Beast, having taken a blow from the fiery hammer, was unable to avoid it.
Brown fur, the form of a giant bear… he definitely remembered her.
“The vanguard of the Royal Knights. You had decent strength, but other than that, you were just a small fry.”
“Ha! You remember! You piece of trash!”
“Do you want to relive that day again?”
“No, I want to chew your head off!”
True to his name, Beast possessed one of the top three strengths among the true demons.
But aside from his strength, he also possessed technique.
On the other hand, Bayard was weaker in strength.
Naturally, it was only natural that Bayard was overwhelmingly defeated by Beast in their first encounter.
That was why Bayard, filled with fear, had even run away.
Crack! Boom!
But now… Bayard was relentlessly pushing Beast back like a raging storm.
Bayard’s strength was surpassing Beast’s.
Beast frowned.
What was this?
“How dare you, a mere smelly beast…!!!”
“You’ve lost your composure. Are you angry?! Huh?!”
“Such pathetic provocation…!!!”
Looking at the enraged Beast, Bayard thought of a certain being who had embraced her in the past.
She had run away in fear, not daring to look back.
Back then, she could only think of herself.
So when the commander, along with Ruby, came to find her, she had hoped to be executed for desertion.
Because death would bring her peace and because it would free her from this heavy guilt.
But the commander didn’t draw his sword.
Instead, he laid his sword down in front of her and he opened his arms and embraced her.
The warmth she felt in that embrace led her here.
Courage can overcome fear, and she had continuously trained with Yuren ever since.
Those experiences and time had become a raging fire, seeking to turn the enemy before her into ashes.
‘He’s definitely stronger than me…!!!’
It seemed like her potential had exploded.
Bayard’s strength surpassed Beast’s.
However, Beast was also a veteran warrior with vast experience.
His experience and technique were still beyond her reach.
Once again, Bayard began to be pushed back.
As if to mock Yuren’s assessment that beastmen had strength surpassing even dragons… She was being pushed back by an opponent with only one arm!
But Bayard swallowed her humiliation.
She could swallow as much as she needed.
“Ugh?!”
“Bullseye!”
“Good job, kid!”
“Who are you calling a kid?!”
‘It pierced through my hide and actually hurt me?!’
Something unbelievable happened again.
Only a handful of the Royal Knights had been able to damage Beast’s hide, which was tougher than steel and yet, a mere brat like this had managed to hurt him?
Beast coldly assessed the situation.
It wasn’t the weapon that was hurting him, but the flames surrounding it.
They were ignoring his hide and inflicting damage deep inside.
But when he tried to target the brat, Bayard stood firm in front of him like a wall.
This was no good.
If he stayed like this, he would be worn down and eventually killed.
This wasn’t the time to save his strength for later.
He had to use all his power and kill them.
Beast quickly made his decision and roared with all his might, as if to expel his lungs.
At the same time, his power was unleashed.
The beastly aura pushed back everything around him with brute force.
“You’ve finally shown an opening.”
A giant body covered in black fur as tough as steel.
He was the very embodiment of a beast.
However, Yuren used the opportunity to charge forward, but it was Beast’s trap.
Through the previous fight, Beast had realized that he couldn’t escape alive from this situation.
So, he would give flesh to take bone.
If he could eliminate Yuren by sacrificing himself…
Even if he couldn’t kill her, inflicting a fatal wound would be enough.
Even Yuren couldn’t kill him in one blow with her current strength.
So, he would aim for that gap and strike.
It was a plan that couldn’t fail.
At least it would have worked against the Yuren of the past.
Through her previous defeat, and through her fight against the commander, Yuren had realized that recklessly wielding overwhelming power wasn’t enough.
She concentrated all the strength in her body into her fist, and the moment her fist reached Beast’s upper body, the sound of flesh bursting echoed.
Yuren raised her head.
She saw Beast, his upper body completely blown away, only his lower half remaining.
