Chapter 188 Fighting Demons (3)



The demons were caught off guard by this since they had been focused on watching the fight between Cecilia and the demon commander.

However, they quickly came back to their senses and raised their weapons to attack Cecilia.

But this moment of hesitation was what had cost them.

That was because the moment that they turned around, the humans and elves attacked them from behind.

The demons had only thought about getting Cecilia, who had landed in their midst, that they had forgotten who they had been fighting just a minute ago. 

The humans and elves had also stopped fighting for a bit to watch Cecilia charge the demon commander, but they also had Moon there to keep them in line. They knew what would happen after Cecilia charged the demon commander, so they were all prepared to rescue her at any moment.

The moment that the demons focused on Cecilia, the knights charged forward and the elves covered them with their arrows.

Being hit in the back like this, the demons weren't able to resist at all as they were cut down by the swords and arrows. They just crumpled under their weapons like wheat in front of a scythe.

It took no time at all for them to carve a path for Cecilia's escape.

Cecilia quickly went with them and returned to the line in front of the cage.

After she came back, I quickly asked her, "How strong is he?"

Cecilia revealed a grim look before saying, "Just in terms of physical strength, he's stronger than me. If you add in his magic…"

She didn't finish her words, but the conclusion that she drew was definitely grim enough.

All of us revealed downcast looks when we heard this, but then we calmed ourselves and steeled our hearts.

I had already expected this since this was a main quest given by the system. There was no way that this would be easy.

Since that was the case, then I shouldn't hold back any longer.

I pulled out The Penetrator and handed it to Cecilia.

She took it without hesitation before turning to face the demon commander again.

The reason why she didn't have The Penetrator in hand to begin with was because we had wanted to hide this. We had wanted to keep this thing as our secret weapon, but it seemed like that wasn't possible.

The demon commander was already this powerful, so there was no chance of winning without it.

Holding this in hand, Cecilia felt much more confident.

She remembered when she faced the Goblin General and the feel of using this strange looking sword to smash that Goblin General.

She didn't want to admit it, but it was a feeling that was quite addicting. That empowered feeling that she had when she held this strange looking sword, she really wanted more of it.

But she knew that this was only temporary and the best way to become stronger was to make oneself stronger, so that was why she didn't use this magic weapon all the time.

When The Penetrator came out, the elves and the demons who were sensitive to magic couldn't help looking at it with strange looks.I think you should take a look at

It wasn't because of the strange shape that this sword had, but rather because of the magic that could sense coming from it. It took just a single glance for the elves and the demons to recognize that this was a magic weapon.

They were more surprised that the humans who had the lowest amount of magic out of all the races would have something like this.

The demon commander had been silent the whole time since he had been surprised by how well the elves and humans were cooperating, but this took the straw. 

He too was surprised by the fact that this human had a magic weapon like this, but he was more disappointed in his men. They had let this perfect opportunity slip out of their fingers like this.

During the time that the humans had been talking and regrouping, his men could have caught them off guard by suddenly charging.

They had even been focused on switching to that magic weapon, so there had been the perfect gap…

Yet they just stood there in a daze like fools.

Finally, the demon commander couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "What are you fools doing? Use your magic to bombard them from afar while forming a line to keep them away!"

The demons were snapped out of their daze when they heard this and they quickly turned back to gather mana in their hands.

When the elves and humans saw this, they had ugly expressions.

After all, the specialty of demons was their magic power.

They had felt relieved that the demons hadn't used these magic spells yet, but now…

The demons had actually not used them because they wanted to save their mana just in case, but the demon commander's words woke them up.

If they didn't push through, then they would all die here.

It was better to go all out and break free than to die here without using it at all.

Cecilia immediately made a decision after seeing the demons start to gather their magic power.

She started charging forward as she shouted, "Charge them and interrupt them before they can finish gathering their magic!"

The knights were caught off guard by this, but they only delayed for a single second before following up on Cecilia's charge. They had been properly trained by her, so they would be able to follow up on things like this in an instant.

The demons were also surprised by Cecilia's charge, but they didn't worry since they were in an advantageous position.

There was already a line formed to block this charge from her while the demons in the back were gathering their magic power.

Once she was stopped by the line, then they would immediately rain down spells on her.

They didn't believe that a puny human like this would be able to block the spells that they released.

So they watched as Cecilia came closer and closer.
