Demonic energy?

It was surprising that the humans coordinated attack was more effective than expected, but what was more shocking was the demonic energy that covered the field of the battlefield. Not his, of course.

Mendels gaze naturally turned to Garuel, the owner of that demonic energy. Although his appearance was obscured by dark mana, there was no reason why he couldnt be recognized as a wielder of similar power.

Similar to the demonic energy of High Demons, but subtly different. Is he mixed race?

If that much demonic energy could be used, it must have been mixed with the blood of a powerful demon. A demon of that caliber mixed with an inferior human to produce offspring. It was absolutely disgusting.

He wanted to tear the shame of the demons apart right then and there, but unfortunately, Mendel was not given the luxury of time.

Damn you, Lydon! What if you shoot an ice spear at me?

Hmph, dont frame me, Van. I didnt shoot you, its you who interrupted me.

Mendel didnt know how hed gotten a hold of his technique, but the demonic energy on the battlefield was healing humans in real-time.

Demonic energy that heals other peoples wounds, what a nasty mongrel.

The petals that were supposed to absorb their flesh, blood, and energy gained nothing from their rapidly healing wounds and vanished barriers. As a result, the humans he should have subdued long ago were closing in with fierce intensity.

The human I need to pay special attention to is the dark energy user who attacked me. Where is it?

The magic of a fairy, an aura that became more and more massive as time passed, a sword energy that was impossible to follow with the eye, and an intrusive demonic energy. Everything seemed threatening, but Mendel judged that the most dangerous of them all was Yozens dark energy.

No matter how stressful the situation was, Mendel did not let down his guard. But until the dark energy pierced his throat, he could not sense anything. A moments respite from this dazzling onslaught would be fatal. It was even more dangerous when the petals became useless.

Once the dark energy user had been thwarted, he would deal with the mongrel, minimizing the loss of protective shields.

That was Mendels plan, however. ALL new chapters on nov(e)lbin(.)com

Wheeze. Crunch.

?

From a completely unexpected direction, something unexpected happened. Mendel suddenly stopped swinging his whip and looked down at his left arm.

It was twisting. As if a black flower petal was absorbing the energy of another living being, the entire space where his left arm was located was distorted.

A terrible pressure and pain radiated from his left arm. Mendels jet-black eyes flicked open, and there, standing before him, was the human swordsman hed deemed too weak for his speed.

Lumens gaze shifted from Mendel to Cadel. Cadel remained seated and silent, even as Mendels transformation came to an end.

In this battle, Cadel did not use any direct force except for the cover of the Knight Order. The relaxed command was clean and without unnecessary elements, and thanks to it, the Knight Order was able to maintain minimal damage throughout the battle.

A fight that was not biased against anyone and could truly be called cooperation. So, this momentum must not be lost until the end.

Instead of answering the question, Cadel looked back at Lydon and said.

Lydon. How many do you think are coming?

At least 200. Hmm, the smell just got stronger. I feel like throwing up! Its even more disgusting than the others. If I hadnt trained with Garuel, I would have thrown up right away.

Please refrain from making misleading statements, Sir Lydon.

There were at least 200 monsters under Mendels protection. Not a bad number, but not a good one either. Cadel summoned Garuel, who was eager to prove his cleanliness to Yozen, his new companion.

While we deal with the monsters, Mendel will be targeting you, Garuel.

Well, thats to be expected, because healers are the most annoying people wherever you go.

And unfortunately, until all of those monsters are defeated, Mendel is practically invincible.

Is this information from Lord Kunra?

Yeah.

This means that.

10 minutes. In the meantime, lets compete to see who has better regenerative power.

The monsters summoned by Mendel were different from ordinary monsters. If Cadel had not known Mendels technique beforehand, the subjugation might have taken more than an hour. If Garuel had to withstand Mendels intense bombardment for an hour, no matter how much demonic energy he used, Cadel wouldnt be able to guarantee his safety. But 10 minutes was enough.

Cadel gestured to Garuel, who scratched his cheek nervously. He leaned down and grabbed Garuel by the scruff of the neck, pulling him in front of him.

Knight Commander? Could it be that you will give me a kiss of encouragement.

I know you have accepted the demonic energy and are trying to fight with it as best as you can.

.

But dont let that seal away the power youve built up so far. Demonic energy and light mana. Being able to use the two together is your unique advantage.

There was no kiss of encouragement as expected, but Garuels expression was blank and relaxed as Cadel retreated. Cadel left him rigid and relayed the new plan to the rest of his subordinates.
