Chapter 267: The Sage Asks the Hero

The next swing destroyed my temporal region.

The blade smashed through and shattered my entire skull afterwards.

When I revived as another undead, I casted magic from where I stood.

It was a lightning strike imbued with miasma.

She approached me swiftly as she evaded the attack and stabbed my ribs.

From there, she slashed upwards and crushed my upper body.

My vision messed up but immediately returned to normal elsewhere.

I switched to another body and stood there without doing anything.

She quietly turned towards me from where she stood.

She was calm, an expression that didnt seem to fit in with the fierce combat we were having.

As rain began to pelt more heavily, muddy spots littered the ground and made the terrain uneven.

However, her stance didnt seem to falter at all.

In fact, her movements appeared to become even more refined over time.

Geez, this is troublesome.

I had already died dozens of times.

I was utterly overwhelmed by her swordsmanship and had to keep reviving to another undead body every time it happened.

I had rarely made use of this characteristic ever since I first became the Demon Lord.

Despite having attained anomalous strength, she was undeniably still a human.

She might possess transcendental swordsmanship, but that was all she had.

To completely kill me, she needed to annihilate every single undead in the world.

Which also included Grom, Doldar, and the director.

If the current amount wasnt enough, the stock could easily be replenished by turning humans into new undead.

As a human, she would gradually become exhausted.

Meanwhile, she needed to continue killing the strongest Demon Lord all the while.

Therefore, victory was absolutely impossible for her.

My characteristic was the very definition of cheating after all.

It might appear to be a fair and square fight at first glance, but it actually wasnt the case.

I was cowardly so I laid a lineup where I could definitely win.

I wasnt an existence that could be defeated individually, and the same could be said even if she was the one I faced.

Im well aware its a tough battle. And despite understanding that, Ive chosen to confront you.

She asserted as if to dismiss my claim.

She definitely wasnt just boasting.

The justice dwelling within her eyes still shone.

She pointed the tip of her sword at me.

I am the hero. For as long as the evil Demon Lord reigns, I will continue to defeat him as many times as necessary. Without such determination, I wouldnt carry such a mission.
