"Swordsman Skill: Body Enhancement!!"

[Warning!! Host body is slightly injured]

[Warning!! Host body is slightly injured]

Desmond then looked at his feet while he kept running. 'Shit, come on my legs.'

After leaving the toy shop, Desmond, feeling bad, quickened his pace with 2x enchantment at once, and the result is made, his legs begin to feel numb.

At first, The guards that following were shocked to seen Desmond speed and left behind, but they soon caught up with him. Even though these guards didn't look strong, they were stronger than ordinary people; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to get chosen as the Desmond family's guard.

After they had walked for a few minutes, they finally arrived at the harbor. Looking at the surrounding, Desmond became even more annoyed.

[Target is near!!]

[Target is near!!]

Because it is daytime, not many people come to the port, some of them only transport goods, while some opened a shop or trading items.

The thing that annoyed Desmond was that many people watched him when he arrived, making Desmond raise his guard.

System, show me the way.

An arrow appeared in front of him. It pointed at a location pointing towards the nearby church, where he used to check his talent.

Desmond followed the arrow; when he got there, it stopped right in front of the small alley.

Desmond sees a torn shirt on the ground; he takes the torn shirt and remembers that these torn clothes are the clothes Alice wore.

"This…" Suddenly Desmond also remembered the incident about the demon three years ago.

"Guards, guard this hallway. if I don't come back in 5 minutes, you can enter."

"Yes, young master!" 2x

Desmond then enters the small alley. After he had gotten some distance from the guards, he activates a spell.

"Custom Spell: Light Distortion"

"Swordman Skill: Body Enchantment"

The fourth time Desmond had used Body Enchantment, his body starts to feel pain, but he bit his lips; slowly, his whole body begins to disappear.

Desmond, who is walking down this narrow alley, sees a few more rips of Alice's shirt, suddenly he heard a scream from the end of the hall.

Alice!!

Desmond's voice is completely silenced, he screaming in his mind.

Desmond recognized the scream and immediately accelerated his pace. Arriving at the end of the alley, he sees two demons standing in front of Alice. Alice's clothes looked messed up with a little bruise on her cheeks, and she also fainted.

He also saw one demon lying on the ground with shards of ice piercing its chest.

[Scanning the target..]

These demons almost resembled humans except that they had horns and tails protruded from the head to the rump. With 4'7 feet tall, the demons looked very creepy except for their thin bodies, which looked malnourished. Only when the demon reached a certain power will they have a complete set before they only have one horn with no tail.

Calm and relax.

Gradually Desmond approaches the weakest demon; he plans to kill the weakest demon first and then launched a surprise attack on the next demon.

When Desmond is near, he closes the demon's mouth and stabs it into the heart. The younger demon died without a fight or a scream, but unfortunately, the demon falls to the ground with a loud voice.

"Damn you!" Desmond cursed and charged forward with the sword in his right hand, aimed straight at the demon's heart.

Although he doesn't have proper sword training, only self-taught, Desmond used his small body and his experience of watching the footage over and over again as an advantage against his opponent.

Desmond sees the demon turn around and swing its tail and wants to aim at its stomach.

As Demon's tail aims towards the stomach, Desmond then jumps and changes his attack above, aiming for the demon's head by dividing its skull in half.

* clang * the sound of clashing objects sounded. Desmond was shocked to saw that his sword was in contact with the demon's horn, his experience only with human vs. human, not a demon.

Desmond, who held his sword, was forced to fly in mid-air due to the collision sword with a horn. This collision made Desmond's defense wide open, and before Desmond fly away too far, the demon grabbed Desmond's hand and slammed Desmond's body to the ground.

* crash *

* cough * of blood spurted out simultaneously after Desmond's body was slammed to the ground. His vision begins to blur; he sees a shadow or a tail aim straight at his eye.

Seeing this, Desmond closes his eyes while waiting for his death to come.

But after a few seconds, he feels nothing and tries to open his eyes.

In his sight, Desmond saw the world as if it was going to slow down; the tail that wanted to hit his eyes was still near his forehead.

* gulp * A chance!

Desmond then saw that his right hand was still holding the sword; with all his might, Desmond try to stab backward, and he could feel him stabbing something.

* pop * Blood spurt out on Desmond's face, making the world turn blood red. Desmond then shifts his body a little, and the tail missed the target but hit his shoulder.

* scream * screams were heard in the narrow alleyway.

* rumble * Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from outside the alley. Desmond didn't have time to see what was happening because he was busy rubbing his eyes while enduring his shoulder pain.

After his eyesight returned to normal, he sees his guards come and help set him up.

With the help of the guard, he was finally able to stand up, but his legs were still trembling a little,

"Alice," mutter Desmond while glances at Alice's body.

Desmond then approached Alice, who is lying unconscious in the garbage pile. Alice's condition is not too bad, and he unconsciously tries to pick Alice up.

Even though he was injured, Desmond still insisted on carrying Alice. After Desmond took care of Alice, now he sees the state of the demon he stabbed.

The demon was surrounded by its two guards while grasping its leg pierced by Desmond's sword.

"Kill that bastard!"

Desmond then gave the order, and the two guards simultaneously stabbed the demon using the spears they had been aiming at the demon.

Desmond sees the demon's expression, from anger as he stares at Desmond to panic and then shocks before the demon died.

Desmond only looks at the demon's body with a cold gaze before turning back to the guard's direction.

"Take care, Alice, and wait outside the alley. I have something to do. "

"Yes, young master!" 2x

Desmond then handed Alice to the guard and waited a few moments after the guard left. He then headed to the demon's corpse wanting to confirm something.
