I rubbed my eyes wondering if I was seeing something wrong.

But the sight that came into my eyes did not change.

‘I thought it was an idiot.’

white mask.

A sword the size of half your body.

An existence with a dwarf physique who is ignorantly swinging that great sword and blowing away opponents.

It was Erina.

‘I never thought we’d meet here.’

When you think about it, it’s not unusual.

I’m sure there are students like me who want to test their skills in the arena.

In my case, it was to raise my ability level, but the purpose should be considered similar.

‘Anyway, he seems to be doing pretty well.’

Her history was recorded on a giant marble above the arena.

Erina was already on a three-game winning streak.

“Awesome! Mysterious swordsman Lina. Contrary to his diminutive physique, he continues to defeat his opponents with his domineering swordsmanship and quick movements.”

“That’s right. Could a new divinity have appeared in this arena?”

“Haha, there are so many strong players in our arena, so it’s still too early to judge.”

People watching the battle in the arena and giving passionate commentary.

Probably the commentators of the arena.

The presence of commentators assigned to limited places in this large arena meant that Erina’s matches were quite popular.

Seeing that the crowd is also quite large, it seems that her game is getting quite popular.

Here, it appears that she uses the pseudonym Lina.

‘Let’s try to disturb it once.’

Defeating her is easy if you step out now.

It’s a level where my opponent is no good in the first place, and it’s even more so if you’ve already fought a few times.

But I immediately shook my head.

‘There’s no reason to deal with that guy right now.’

The purpose of coming here is to fight, but I have no intention of fighting anyone.

The main purpose is to raise stats and check skills.

So there was no need to fight weak or easy people.

‘Even if I don’t step out, I’ll be defeated by someone in the end.’

It was said that there were many very strong people here.

I was also defeated unilaterally, but I had to see that it was impossible to keep winning in this arena with many strong players. Rather, it is surprising that he won three consecutive victories.

First of all, I had to jump into this fierce battle first.

‘Let’s see.’

Know the rules of the arena before entering.

When you enter an empty arena, a random opponent enters and a fight begins.

The defeated opponent came out, and when the next opponent came in, the fight continued.

Killing people is also forbidden in this arena, but it is said that death due to unavoidable accidents is tolerated.

‘It’s not okay for a person with exceptional skills to kill the opponent while playing around. It’s a story that accidents can’t be helped in battles between similar people.’

But this too has its flaws.

It is possible to deliberately hide one’s skills and then, at a decisive moment, unleash a trickle on the opponent and take their lives.

Of course, those who have reached a certain level will be able to recognize it, but this place is the Pandemonium.

In the end, it is concluded that the dead guy became that way because he was weak, and everyone around him understood that.

So, you have to protect your own life.

‘Anyway, I’ve got some insurance, so it’ll be fine.’

First of all, the goal was to check the ability level and fight with the level that could be handled.

I stepped into the empty arena, and soon my opponent was inside too.

“Khehehe. You’re wearing a weird mask. Those kids who don’t have the confidence to show their faces should be taken care of by the butcher of hell, Lectron.”

The opponent holding a huge ax in both hands had an appearance similar to that of an ogre among monsters.

However, the other thing was that unlike the ogre who only screamed, he was talking, and compared to the ogre, he was a little small.

Of course, it was an opponent with a difference of more than twice the weight compared to me.

‘It doesn’t look that strong.’

It doesn’t look special just by feeling the momentum.

I checked my abilities using Sebastian.

‘It won’t be very difficult.’

He nodded slightly.

 Name: Lectron

 Age: 10 years old

 Stats: Strength (613) Agility (370) Magi (212) Endurance (765)

All stats were balanced, and the stats of the opponent I ran were focused on strength and durability.

The difference in strength and durability was a little big, but the gap in agility and magic was that much, so overall it seemed to be at a similar level.

‘It’s just a punching bag.’

It would be quite dangerous if he was hit by an attack, but with his current speed, it would be difficult for him to hit me with an attack.

It was enough for me to use my strengths to attack him.

‘But what is 10 years old with that body?’

No matter how much I thought about it, it was difficult to adapt to the concept of age in the demon realm.

“Are you afraid to say anything? Kuck.”

“I don’t mix words with opponents who don’t match my level.”

“what? this kid… Ugh!”

I quickly moved to his side and punched him.

Wow!

The fist filled with Magi instantly hit Lectron’s side, causing a huge explosion.

“Big!”

Fuck!

Still, seeing the counterattack right away, it didn’t seem like he was talking about anything.

A gigantic ax flew through the space at high speed.

Pretty fast pace.

However, it is only by the standards of the opponent.

Dig!

After lightly shedding the ax, I moved to the other side again.

This time, I put a little more magic than before.

A red aura that blooms in your fist.

consecutive hits at the same time.

Kwak Kwa Kwam.

Pupperpuppung!

“Aagh!”

It was definitely an opponent with the highest durability, so it wasn’t easily knocked over.

However, since the attack containing the demonic energy deals damage to the inside, the opponent with low demonic energy cannot but accumulate damage.

“You bastard!”

Could it be that he was in heat from the continuous blows?

Lectron roared wildly.

Of course, it was just a meaningless shout.

Because he couldn’t catch me with his speed in the first place.

‘Unless I have a special skill, there’s no way I’ll get caught.’

There’s no way there’s no one other than me in this demon realm who has skills, so there’s no need to worry about that.

However.

“Bloody Fear!”

At the same time as the ogre’s cry, dark red mist flowed from the ax he was holding.

The fog quickly took over the surroundings, restricting my movement, and finally created a situation where I was cornered.

“Ha ha ha! rat-like guy. Do you think I’ve never dealt with guys like you? How do you like the taste of the artifacts you bought with a lot of money to catch the fast guys?”

It was overlooked that there were similar magic and artifacts using it even though there was no skill in this demon realm.

Crisis caused by a moment’s inattention.

His huge ax began to fly, aiming for his head and waist.

* * *

“die! A rat!”

The power contained in the ax was unusual and seemed to be enough to shatter my body.

It is already too late to avoid it. I had to hit it somehow.

‘I should have just used a sword.’

It seems that it was a mistake to go out with my bare hands because I didn’t really have a sword that suited me.

If I had a sword, I would have been able to create a situation where I would spill it moderately and avoid it even at the cost of the sword in the worst case.

Of course, it was already too late.

‘I should have thought that it was different from my Hunter days.’

When I was a hunter, I was able to fight in many ways with various skills, but now all I have are the Diablic Force and the Demonic Barrier.

‘yes? A magic barrier?’

A skill I had forgotten in an instant came to mind.

After that, he immediately raised his demonic energy and used his skill.

support position-

The red demonic energy spread all over my body, forming a thin film, and at the same time, Lectron’s ax struck my body.

Kwak Kwa Kwak!

huge binge.

At the same time, a cloud of dust spreading all around obscures the view.

“Ha ha ha! It is the seventh sacrifice to be struck by my axe.”

“That means that six people have been sacrificed in the shallow water so far.”

“What, what?”

Lectron doubted his ears for a moment.

I heard a sound that should never be heard.

‘Obviously my ax went in properly. There’s no way you can withstand my attacks with a body like that!’

The dust settled and the scene was revealed.

Lectron’s eyes shook violently.

“Um, are you all right?”

Lectron backs away in surprise.

Of course, I was as surprised as he was.

‘I was too careless. I’ll have to be more careful next time.’

If he had used the skill a little late, something would have gone wrong.

I used the demonic barrier on time, and the performance of the demonic barrier was better than I expected, so I was able to withstand the opponent’s attack without much trouble.

‘Is this really good?’

Even during his Hunter days, he encountered and possessed various defense skills.

But among them, I have never seen the kind that forms a protective barrier all over the body.

It was mostly a way to defend a certain area, and if you leave that area, you can’t receive the effect of the barrier.

However, the demon barrier formed a barrier over my entire body, and I was even able to move.

It was similar to the self-defense gi from the novel.

That means it can be used in attacks as well.

“What you said earlier. Try again.”

Kwaaang.

“Ah!”

The fist extended in an instant hit Lectron’s jaw.

The guy, embarrassed by the unexpected situation, moved his body around.

“no use.”

Kwak Kwa Kwam.

Due to his slow movement, it was impossible to dodge my attack.

“This, this bastard!”

Lectron, who allowed one-sided attacks, came swinging an axe.

Quite a ghastly mood.

However, the visible attack was slow enough to cause a yawn.

It wasn’t difficult to dodge the attack, which was further slowed down by the blow I received.

Even so, I brought my arm straight to the axe.

Because I have a ‘magic barrier’ anyway.

Kwaaang!

loud explosion.

This time, his attack did no harm to my body.

“Hey, what is this… ?”

Lectron with an expression of disbelief.

“To deliberately harm an opponent weaker than oneself. You’re a man who doesn’t know honor.”

“What bullshit? This is an arena… Shut up!”

The punch with all his might was stuck in the guy’s stomach.

Pew!

He flew away and lodged himself against the wall.

Two axes knocking down the floor at the same time.

“Leaving it alone will cost more people.”

I raised my foot and broke the axe.

Bang bang.

After several kicks, the ax was fragmented beyond repair.

But even after seeing it, Lectron couldn’t say anything.

Because my last attack has already knocked me out.

“Hmm… You don’t even have to kill it.”

There are also rules in this arena, and it could be embarrassing to do more harm in a situation where the match has already been won.

Destroying an artifact he cherished seemed to have punished him enough.

‘Anyway, a guy without artifacts will have a hard time standing out.’

There is a person who has a grudge against this guy, so he can take revenge, and even if that’s not the case, I think it will be difficult to speak out in the future.

‘Anyway, the gaze around me is unusual.’

buzz buzz.

“Butcher Lectron lost?”

“Are you completely gutted?”

“Who is that?”

“He’s the first one I’ve seen.”

Looking at the reactions around me, it seems like the guy I dealt with was quite famous.

Maybe that’s why I started to see movements to approach me here and there.

However, most of them were just to learn about unknown emerging powers, and no one tried to challenge me.

It seemed that they were spying on each other and watching each other.

‘Now I’m going to look for someone.’

It is possible for me to break into the opponent’s arena, so it seemed better to leave if no one challenged me.

The moment you want to leave.

“It was great.”

Someone entered the arena.

‘Well?’

An opponent wearing a mask like me and carrying a sword on his waist.

The momentum that came out was unusual.

“I am very impressed with your skills. Would you like to compete with me?”

“Wouldn’t be bad. Compete against each other… .”

Suddenly feeling deja vu, I hurriedly checked my opponent’s abilities.

◆ Name: Heidel Marius

◆ Age: 36 years old

◆ Stats: Strength (843) Agility (1,170) Magi (812) Endurance (665)

“… I postpone seeing it until later. I mean, I’m busy.”

The opponent was too strong to fight blindly.
