The miasma is a miasma that can only be found in the miasma-encased knights.

And at the stage where the battle is about to begin with the lightly over a hundred knights, led by the commanding knight who cut the cleansing wave that Luciel had activated, Brod and Lionel began to talk about Luciel with a smile on their faces.

''So you've finally gone. I never thought the day would come when Luciel would be so worried about me...'' 

Complicated as a teacher?

'Yeah, there's that too ... there is, but apparently Luciel feels like I'm the one who's entrenched in the image that we're left vulnerable. That's what you think too, war demon, isn't it? You felt as if you were being escorted by an escort target, didn't you? 

Brod didn't think that Luciel didn't trust him, but still, as a mere warrior, and as a disciple, it wasn't very interesting to be worried about him.

But that wasn't limited to Brod. Lionel also resented being thought of as an object to be protected, although Luciel may have been unconscious of it.

But he also understood the reason for that.

'There is no doubt about it, but in Luciel-sama's mind we were once weak. And now that one of us has risen to a higher level and become stronger all at once, I'm sure he feels that we're still less capable than we were before.

''Luciel's level has suddenly risen, and his combat abilities have blossomed all at once and become so strong that he thinks our abilities haven't become that strong even if we've enhanced them.

Brod wasn't amused that Luciel was worried about him, but he certainly used to treat him thoroughly to teach him martial arts, and considering the difference between him and Luciel at that time, he convinced himself that it wasn't surprising to think so.

In the past, no matter how Luciel struggled, he never lost, and his attacks were never even snatched.

But it also wasn't fun to let Luciel misunderstand the fact that now Brod and Lionel were at their peak strength as it was.

Seeing the look on his face, Lionel decided to appease Brod.

''It can't be helped. I haven't made any outstanding achievements yet, and Luciel-sama was helping me raise my level in the labyrinth.''

But you didn't want to get serious in the middle of it, did you?

Luciel helped the two of them with their power leveling, and their statuses were steadily increasing as their levels rose.

Furthermore, the two of them repeated the mock battles, so they were able to fully handle their own bodies, whose levels had increased and their statuses had risen, and their physical abilities had actually returned to their heyday early on.

However, without realizing this, Luciel had made a high level demon appear in order to level the two of them. And from the middle, Brod and Lionel had tamed the demons so that they wouldn't be defeated by a single blow.

And the mock battle didn't aim for a vital point or cut their heads off so as not to scatter the lives of their opponents from the middle of the battle.

''The demons had stopped killing in the blink of an eye in order to raise everyone's level, and there was no way they could take themselves seriously against Luciel-sama, so it can't be helped.

It's a good thing. If we can defeat these miasma-clad knights, we won't have to worry about them anymore. So how do the war demons look at that army?

The only thing that can be said for the miasma is that it's not a demon race, but rather people who were enchanted by the evil gods and fell into darkness. The miasma is a miasma that can only be a miasma of the human body in order to increase its own power.

Yeah, he is. He's a berserker with a destructive impulse. But there are so many of them.

The two gazes were approaching us in pieces, but the number of them was lightly over a hundred by my count, but Lionel's head was already directed not at the Knights, but at the castle from which the Knights had emerged.

''If you were able to keep your reasoning with that, you would still be able to enjoy it, but....... I don't have the leadership, so let's just end it all at once. And it would be better to explore the inside of the castle where the knights came out.''

''Well......... I hope you'll be just the right person to teach Luciel not to worry about us in this case.......

''That's right. But since they are even equipped with such legendary armor, it's difficult to achieve that other than to show them an overwhelming victory. If we could defeat the evil gods on our own, this wouldn't have anything to do with it, but is that too much to ask?

Yeah.

'Huh, well, that's fine. As soon as I can, I'll take the left half and that commander.

Wait. I can leave the left half to you, but that commander is my prey by all accounts, right? First of all, I'm the one who can take out the right half right away. Don't tell me you're not going to wait for me?

'Hahaha. Since when did you get to make a joke. You'll be quicker to annihilate the left half of them than I am to take them down one by one, who can cleave them all at once.

'Haha, great confidence. Then that commander is a quick winner, isn't he?

Of course.

Then I'll be a first responder.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

The miasma-clad knights ducked under the attack, but most of them were easily torn apart by the flying slashes.

It's not just a matter of time before you are able to get your hands on a new one.

--You're sticking it out, but aren't you doing your best? Then I'm going to be serious.

When Lionel thought that, he took out a large sword forged from the dragon's fangs from his magic bag and put magic power into the large sword.

The mere fact that the miasma is a mere mortal disease is not enough.

The miasma will burn to ashes.

The mere fact that the mere existence of the miasma is not a problem for you is an indication that the mere fact of the miasma is not a problem for you.

It's not just a matter of time before you get a chance to see the miasma.

Even the miasma-clad knights must have looked like that.

But the fireball that Lionel swept away with his great sword made of flaming dragon fangs with magical power is not normal, and as he moved away from Lionel, its shape changed.

Gradually, the sphere expands into a crushing disk, spinning at high speed as it expands, and when it reaches the knights, the knights are burned when the disk of fire is slightly snatched away from them.

But this was where the really scary part of this attack came from.

The flames that spread out in the shape of a disc rose into the sky in an instant, and then a rain of fire poured down.

Moreover, the rain of fire rained down on the knights as if each one of them had a will, and the left half of the knights that Lionel had taken on were to be annihilated in an instant.

--The only one left is the commander, but standing under the current attack, he might be a bit of a nasty opponent. But what we do is the same.

It was when Lionel, who had steeled himself, was about to run to the commander with his great sword on his shoulder.

It's a good thing that the miasma is not a problem. The miasma-clad knights are piled up high when the tornado disappears.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the next few weeks.

Retreating Brod moved to Lionel's side as he flew a slash towards that commander.

''War demon, if you rain fire on us, the whole city will burn. That would be a bit much.''

Only in this open space. And I wouldn't mind burning it all to the ground. If we leave the bodies unattended, we could start a plague. But a whirlwind, a tornado that would suck in all the vegetation, would destroy the landscape, wouldn't it?

Well, one or the other. So what does that look like?

As Lionel's words flowed through him, Brod turned his gaze to the commander who had slashed Luciel's purification wave.

'I honestly don't know, but that was too bizarre. It's moving despite the fact that it was burned by my flames, and it must have been chopped up by a whirlwind tornado, but it's still alive and well and coming to destroy the wards that Luciel-sama put up.

The undead? Or maybe he's a demon, or maybe he's a dependency of an evil god...

Well, all I can say is, if we can't beat that thing, fighting the Evil One is just a dream.

It's no use. Warlord, we'll fight together here.

''I can't just put myself out of commission here........ I'll defeat them before the effect of the Sanctuary Armor activated by Luciel-sama wears off.

I'll cover you then... tch.

Brod clicked his tongue as Lionel poured his magic power into the great sword earlier and released it, as the commander poured the miasma into his sword and tried to cut through the sanctuary wards that Luciel had activated.

Brod moved to mow down the commander's head while sending a slash towards the commander from that spot, and Lionel also ran towards the commander to cover the whirlwind.

Thus, unexpectedly, the battle in Brange would intensify.
