Lord Demon is behind you

The so-called "armour-breaking sword" refers to this kind of slender and sharp tapered sword.The shape is sharp enough to form a special attack against thick and strong plate armor, which can be regarded as a special restraint weapon.

Just now, the Demon King should have used his power to release blood to reshape the Demon Sword, turning it into this shape.

This is indeed a miraculous weapon that might be able to break the predicament. However, at this time, the brave man's first reaction was not to look at the sword in his hand, but to put the sword away, and then grabbed the hand of the demon king and pulled it towards him.

"... Does it hurt?"

He carefully inspected the opponent's palm.

In the middle of the Demon King's palm, two deep wounds were drawn.Although the palm of his hand stopped bleeding after he let go of the magic sword, and the demon king's own health didn't seem to drop, but...

The hideous wound with blood and flesh lying across the middle of the white palm, this picture still looks shocking.

"Huh? Ah, it's actually okay....It doesn't hurt too much, and I'm used to it. It's okay Arthur, that sword is also a part of me, and what I did just now is equivalent to transferring my blood to another part of my body up, to shape new shapes, so my health doesn't take a hit."

The Demon King reacted and wanted to pull his hands away, but the brave man grabbed them tightly.Although his muscular strength was higher than that of a human brave man, he didn't dare to use brute force, so he had to stand in a stalemate for a while.

"It's, it's really fine... lah. And it'll be fine soon."

Just like what he said, a faint stream of data flashed a blue light near the wound, and soon the injured position returned to its original state.

The brave man tentatively touched the position of his palm, and after confirming that there were no uneven scars at all, he slowly let go of his hand.

"So, sure enough, it still hurts."

"No...it's nothing, to this extent."

The Demon King retracted his arms in a concealed manner, with his hands behind his back, looking a little at a loss.He didn't seem to have expected the hero to have such an attitude.

"Even the blood volume hasn't been reduced, and it's not like there haven't been worse times before. Why do you suddenly care so much about this little thing..."

If you want to talk about small things, this is really just a small thing.But, "Did I...be so ignorant of your situation?"

The brave man thought carefully.After teaming up with the Demon King and entering the Demon King's City, the other party had to die or be on the verge of death several times because of himself. Speaking of which, did I express too little care and gratitude for my companions?

"...No, that's not the problem, is it? I mean it's nothing to pay attention to at all; even I don't care at all, you don't need to—"

"Then how is it possible," the brave man said decisively, "It's fine just as companions, after all, our goals should be put first. But since we are no longer just companions, from the current standpoint, of course we should be more Think carefully about your matter. Speaking of which, does weapon modification have to be done in such a painful way? I don’t know much about it, but if it can be avoided—”

He found that the Demon King was staring at him in a daze, as if he didn't listen to what he was saying at all, so he had to stop.

"What's wrong?" He reached out and shook his hand across from him.

"...Ah, no, it's nothing."

As if suddenly awakened, the Demon King averted his eyes dodgingly.

"Compared to this, don't you plan to take a look at my hard work!" He hastily changed the topic, "Remember that you should have experience in using armor-piercing weapons before?"

Is he unwilling to talk more about it?

The brave man was a little confused, but he nodded and took out the magic sword again.

After all, the next battle is indeed very important.

"Well. You should know that some humanoid monsters can also be attacked by armor-piercing weapons, so I probably know how to use this kind of sword."

The armor-piercing sword cannot be used for chopping at all, it can only stab.

"Then, when we face Miss Sylvia later, let me take the initiative to attack." The brave man looked at the sword in his hand and said while thinking, "You just need to contain it from the rear. Her magic resistance is very strong." High, it can resist most of the abnormal states, but it is not completely immune. As for dealing with attacks... I will find a way to attract her firepower, you just need to pay attention to avoiding her charge route, it should not be too much. harm."

"Hmm, wait," the devil seemed to think of something suddenly, "wait a minute, I remember... don't you have more effective weapons?"

■

This maze was longer than the previous ones, and the monsters that haunted them became more and more concentrated and advanced. Later, the brave men couldn't figure out how long they spent in the maze and how many monsters they killed.He even raised his own level by one and a half levels—you must know that he is already at level 70, and each level requires hundreds of thousands of experience.

However, in the end, the two of them found the right way to the core boss before they got bored.

——There seems to be no boss room on this floor.In the very center of the maze is a large empty open field, so wide that it can't be seen at a glance, enough for the horses to gallop freely-it is the location where the brave man once fought the witch.

At this moment, the female black knight holding a gun and straddling the skeleton horse was standing quietly in the middle of the open space on the horse.

Her arm holding the gun hangs down beside her, the point of the gun pointing to the ground, her whole body remains motionless, as if waiting for something——

Because he had already made complete preparations and had a tacit understanding with his companions, the brave walked out of the exit of the passage without much hesitation, came to the open field, and walked to the opposite side of the knight; as for the devil, he stayed at the edge of the field and stayed away The location of the main battlefield.

"...Your Excellency the Brave."

The knight pushed up the face shield with his free hand, and the clear and beautiful face behind the face shield was still calm.

"You're here.—I knew you'd be here again; sooner or later."

She paused for a moment, as if she wanted to say something more, but in the end she just grabbed the rein and controlled the skeleton horse to take two steps back slightly.

Correspondingly, the brave man came across from her, raised the armor-piercing magic sword in his hand from a distance, and then bowed slightly to her.

"Meet you again, Miss Sylvia. I won't lose so easily this time."

"—No, you have never actually lost."

The knight's eyes drooped slightly.

"You won't lose. After all...even a mental attack of that level can't shake your foundation. Now you, both physically and mentally, are already strong enough to sweep the enemy away."

She also slowly set up the dick.

"It's really you. Even I don't have the confidence to win in your normal state. I can only do my best."

"...No," the brave man suddenly became a little subtle, "I'm not as strong as you praise. If you mean Her Royal Highness's spiritual attack, in fact, I really can't resist it at all. However, I I have a reliable companion by my side, and with his help, I can stand in front of you again and declare war on you for the second time."

The brave man turned his wrist and turned the position of the sword tip, pointing at the opposite knight.

"However, from now on, I will win," he said after taking a deep breath, "Whether it is you or Her Royal Highness, I will definitely defeat them all."

"……yes."

The Cavaliers didn't seem at all surprised by his victory declaration.

"Sorry, it's exactly the same for me. Your Excellency Brave, you are my enemy. Since the master I am loyal to has ordered me to defeat you, then I will carry out this order until the last moment-until the goal is achieved, or I until killed."

——The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

The knight rode his horse and galloped.After only a short distance, she increased the speed of the horse enough to cause damage, and brought the rack forward.

The brave man saw the right time to dodge to the side, and when passing by the skeleton horse, he swung the magic sword in his hand.

"……Well!"

The slender sword tip pierced through the plate armor, and under the special attack effect, just a normal attack caused more than three times the normal damage.Even the knight couldn't help but let out a muffled grunt.

"It seems that you have found the right way to attack."

However, the knight was not surprised.After running for a certain distance, she turned the horse around and looked at the sword in the brave man's hand from a distance.

"—It's a nice weapon."

The brave man understood what she meant.Although there are human-like types among monsters, they are very few after all; generally speaking, armor-piercing weapons are used to deal with the enemy's cavalry—that is, when humans fight each other.Therefore, there are very few skilled weapon craftsmen who customize such high-end armor-piercing swords that can be used to deal with monsters. They only manufacture mass-produced goods that can be distributed to soldiers in batches.

"This...is given to me by my companion."

He also glanced at the sword in his hand, and suddenly thought of something.

"Speaking of it, Miss Sylvia. Do you remember what you said to me the last time I came here?"

The knight tilted his head slightly.

"I've thought about it carefully. What you said," the brave man raised the magic sword to his chest, "those comments about me—whether it's 'advanced selfishness' or 'disregarding other people's feelings' are all correct. Yes. I am exactly what you say I am. Only a little..."

He let out a long breath of stale air from his chest.

"—when you said that I loved no one, not even myself—that was wrong."

"I have someone I like," he said, "Of course, I know it very well: the moment I have feelings for someone, there is a crack in the mood of working wholeheartedly for ideals and the future of mankind. So I must have loved him, because I found myself putting his interests above all else—even higher than my ideals in a way.”

"If you think about it in this sense, the human hero you once knew, the brave man who could rush to the belief he had established without hesitation, is probably dead. The one fighting you now is just an ordinary warrior."

"...Ah, is that right?"

After a moment of silence, the knight reached out and pushed up the mask.The brave man found it incredible that she was smiling—an ordinary smile without any ironic meaning.

"Isn't that good. Your Excellency the Brave, it's good. I'm happy for you, really."
