Chapter 264: The Sage Challenges the Hero

I manipulated the magic power within my body and sharpened my consciousness.

I switched my thoughts to focus on the combat.

On the other hand, she revealed a cool smile.

It seems you are prepared. Thats a good attitude. If it was your human self, you would definitely have hesitated. You would have tried to find a method to best me instead.

I cant deny that.

When I was a human, I still had a decent amount of nave thoughts.

Although I couldnt say for certain whether I had completely gotten rid of them, it was still better now compared to that time.

My human self would have found this situation unbearable.

Instead, I would have thought of a way to look for a solution through dialogue.

Now that I had become the Demon Lord, I could calmly admit that fact.

That was not to say that I had lost my heart.

I was just capable of taking priority based on the bigger picture rather than personal feelings.

My days as an immortal had given me the mental fortitude to move forward, even when I was at a loss.

I could feel your experience growing from my sword. It seems that you have overcome many hardships. You also have saved the world many times. Im proud to be a person who had once fought alongside you.

She spoke with a fleeting expression.

She must have seen the life I had experienced as the Demon Lord through the sword.

They sounded like words filled with kindness if taken at face value, but it wasnt actually the case.

She obviously didnt completely agree with me.

Rather, it could be said that the opposite was true.

Her eyes showed a decisive vigor.

Dwight.

What is it?

Give me your all. Theres no need to hold back for the two of us.

She said in a sturdy tone.

It gave off an atmosphere that wouldnt allow any refusal.

As I understood the meaning of her words, I immediately used magic.

I then transferred millions of undead around us.

It was the surplus force I had accumulated, that had been standing by in various parts of the Demon Lords Territory.

Those that surrounded us became walls of bone and rotten flesh.

It felt like a spectator that was watching the battle.

Looking at the hellish sight around, she said with admiration.

As expected of a Sage. I guess your ability is still there No, it seems to have polished further.

She returned her gaze to me again.

The air became even tenser and my whole body felt a numbing tension.

I suppressed that with my willpower.

She asked me with valor.

Are you ready?

Yes, its perfect for me.

I exerted a lot of power in my arms as I responded to her.

She gave a little nod and declared with satisfaction.

Then lets get started.
