Lord Demon is behind you

"What is this... um!"

Just before the two of them could react, the girl in front of her suddenly opened her mouth and let out a loud drink.Her voice still had the sharp texture of a child, but the whistling sound at this time seemed to be some kind of special skill, and it contained a terrifying force that could easily overwhelm ordinary humans.

Even the brave man had to take a few steps back again, and it took him a long time to barely stand still.

The witch separated her hands up and down, firmly grasped the handle of the axe, and then rushed straight to the demon king who was still leaning against the door.

"careful!"

At the critical moment, the brave man rushed in front of the witch in time, crossed the holy sword and barely blocked the blow.

Ludi's weapon is a battle axe.This is a terrible heavy weapon with a wide range of attack and strong lethality. It can be said that as long as it is swept to the side, it will be half disabled immediately - with the poor defense value of the demon king's cloth armor, it may even be a complete blow. If you can't bear it, you will die.

Of course the brave can't let that happen.

Because she didn't have a height advantage, she chose a sweeping attack as her starting move.As he charged forward and rotated his waist, he not only concentrated the strength of his entire body, but also relied on the power of inertia—this heavy blow was quite powerful.

The battle ax collided with the holy sword, making a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing.At the same time as sparks were flying, the brave man was pushed by a powerful force, and he repelled a few steps to the side.

Before he had time to shake his numb arm, the brave man rushed forward again to block in front of his companion, and caught her next blow in time.

"—What... what's going on, kid!"

Everything happened in a blink of an eye, and when the Demon King shouted, the brave man had blocked the opponent's third slash in a row.

"She's—"

With a pair of blood-red eyes wide open, Ludi mercilessly launched a super powerful slashing attack on the object in front of her.

After finishing the blow, the tomahawk suddenly changed its direction and swung upward unexpectedly from below.

"……Well!"

The brave man leaned back sharply, the ax blade brushed against his chest, and the strong wind brought a deep gash on his breastplate.

Because of the nature of the weapon, she needs to concentrate all her strength for each blow, so her attack speed is very slow.Corresponding to it is the terrifying destructive power that is hard to parry. It is obviously just a normal attack, but it shows an aura that is more terrifying than the mystery.

If the brave man hadn't accumulated some experience in dealing with Xuelu before, he would have been blown away long ago - and the companions he protected behind would have been killed long ago.

Even so, he still found it extremely difficult to deal with.Every time I need to use all my strength to barely parry, I feel unsustainable when I receive every blow.

"This child, she, could it be that she has gone mad!"

The Demon King shouted, "But—how come...she is a dwarf, not an orc?!"

This room is too small, so small that it can be seen at a glance.This also means that it is difficult for a legal system like his that does not have a high dodge value to distance himself from the enemy to dodge - even if he wants to help the brave reduce the pressure on the enemy, it is powerless.

He tried to use small plastic energy bombs to attack a few times. The magic can cause a certain amount of damage when it falls on the enemy, but it has no effect on the opponent's attack, not even basic interference.

"I do not know either……"

The speech was interrupted.

——This time, Rudy kicked off the ground with both feet and leaped high, launching a slash from above.

The blade of the ax that was shining with cold light split the air, and it sank downwards wrapped in the sound of sharp wind.

...this is no joke.Even the brave man dare not take this kind of attack head-on. He has a strong premonition that everything that appears under the ax blade will be split in half.

The two hurriedly fled back.

Fortunately, there is the entrance door behind him, and the door is only ajar, not closed——

At the same time that the two fell out of the double doors almost rolling and crawling, the cold touch of metal brushed against the corner of the brave man's clothes.Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of stones breaking, the floor of the room was easily broken like tofu, forming a deep black crack——

The shock and wind caused by the offensive disappeared without a trace the moment they touched the double doors, and none of them was heard outside.

This is one of the rules set by the world for the boss: all attacks can only take effect in this room, if the challenger switches rooms, he will not be chased by the same skill.

——The door of the room was closed, shutting the violent loli who suddenly went crazy inside.In the stairwell on the side of the door, the devil king and the brave man who escaped from death sat down with their backs against the door, panting for breath.

"Hoo, hoo... um..."

The Demon Lord doesn't have much exercise in comparison, he's just frightened.After calming down for a while, he straightened up first, leaned over to help the brave man wipe the sweat off his forehead, and then took out the red medicine and brought it to his lips.

"How are you, brave?"

The brave poured a few mouthfuls of recovery potion into his hand, and finally felt a little better.

In the short battle just now, his health has dropped by more than half - using weapons to parry and defend can only reduce part of the opponent's attack damage, but cannot completely eliminate it.

"Barely... cough... let's get by."

How should I put it... It shouldn't be his illusion, the witches on these floors are getting stronger and harder to deal with.The enemies on the first two floors were still able to fight back and forth for a while, but on the last two floors, even if he had experienced a lot of battles, he still had to fight desperately.

Well, but, after all, it is common sense that "the later the boss appears, the stronger it will be".

There were several large and small openings on the chest of the leather armor, and it was almost broken.He reached out to untie the tie, but failed several times because his fingers were still trembling.

Only then did he barely receive the enemy's attack, causing his arm to be numb until now.

"……Let me do it."

The devil threw a small lighting spell into the air, and then helped the brave man loosen all the straps of the breastplate and shoulder armor, and took off the leather armor.

...Sure enough, it would be much more convenient to have a companion of the same sex by his side—the thought crossed the Brave's head inappropriately.

The former companions were all of the opposite sex after all, no matter how good the relationship was, it was difficult for them to help with some more intimate things, such as undressing and so on.

As for what kind of thoughts his current "companion" had in mind when doing these things, this was selectively ignored by him.

"Okay, next—"

The Demon King gestured to the door behind him.

"That child... no, a witch on this level, what's going on with her? Dwarves shouldn't go berserk, right? She shouldn't, uh, she's actually not a dwarf...but some small orc bloodline .”

Although the legendary dwarves are often smelly, hard and violent, they seem to be insulated from such things as "madness".

The so-called "madness" should have been the privilege of fighting orcs.In the face of excessive crisis, the blood of talent is born, while greatly strengthening the combat power, let yourself lose your mind and become a beast that only knows how to kill - this is the killer of orc warriors.

Some human "berserkers" can also produce a similar state, but strictly speaking, it is just a psychological suggestion.With the help of methods such as hypnosis, rationality is blocked into the depths of consciousness, and the fighting consciousness is further catalyzed: just like the last snow dew on the fifth floor.

Although such fighters can also pose a great threat to the enemy, compared with the orthodox berserk, the effect is still much worse.

"I don't know either." The brave man drank the whole bottle of potion in two or three strokes. "I've never seen her like this before. However, it should be certain that she has dwarf blood."

"before……?"

"Well. Although Ludi used to fight with a tomahawk, she didn't use it much."

After all, Ludi is a woman, and because of her mixed blood, her physique is far inferior to that of a purebred dwarf.Although he is proficient in the skill of using the battle axe, his durability is poor, so he can only make a temporary emergency.

"What she does more often is to use or drive some strange machinery to fight for her." The brave man remembered something, reached into his backpack and rummaged for a while, and took out a tubular object that was about the length of an arm, " It’s like this one. She threw it away before, saying that she made better equipment, so this one is unnecessary…”

The Demon King took the thing in his hand, flipped through it for a while, and his expression became very subtle.

"This is... a hand cannon?"

"what?"

The brave man was bewildered.The terms in the other party's mouth were completely unfamiliar to him.

The Demon King fiddled with it for some reason, and turned the nozzle to face the opposite side. After a cracking sound of "bang", a piece of the opposite railing collapsed, and plumes of blue smoke rose from the mouth of the black hole.

"You know this thing?" And it works!

"Well, now I believe that she does have dwarf blood." The devil returned the item to the brave man, "Obviously this is the invention of the dwarves, only they have the ability to use weapons instead of magic to attack... Then what? She didn't seem to have produced any mechanical products at all just now."

The brave man was a little concerned about the fact that the opponent could call out the name of the weapon as soon as it was in his hand, but he thought that this was not the point after all, so he didn't ask further questions for the time being.

"I also find it very strange. Could it be that... when she transformed, she lost all the parts that belonged to the dwarves? That's why she couldn't continue to make machines—"

The brave man's heart is quite heavy.If this is the case, the previous idea of ​​"maybe we can communicate" is undoubtedly completely invalid.

"..."

The Demon King hesitated for a moment.

"Brave, you... really want to save her?"

"Of course it is."

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, who would want to confront their former companions with swords.

"But... Well, actually, even if we can communicate—"

The conversation was suddenly interrupted by a small creaking sound behind him.

The brave man grasped the holy sword vigilantly and jumped up, while the demon king quickly moved back a long way.

Under the urgent gaze of the two, the double door opened a small crack.A thin voice floated out from the inside.

"That... the brave man, is the brave man there?"

"—— Rudy?"

The brave man slightly lowered the blade, but still maintained a defensive posture.

After all, the child just now looked very normal at the beginning, but he suddenly became crazy for some reason in the middle - if this time also...

"Is it really you?"

The little girl inside the door seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then she burst into tears.

"Yes, I'm sorry! Before I knew it..."

She seemed to sniff her nose, and the brave man suddenly felt guilty for bullying the little girl and crying.

At the door, the Demon King seemed to want to say something, but forcibly held back.

"That," she seemed to think of something suddenly, "is that demon... also beside you?"

"Uh, yes," the brave man didn't understand, "he's right here..."

"Tell him to stay away!"

Ludi screamed violently, "The farther the better! Don't appear in front of me and be seen by me! Don't make a sound to be heard by me! Otherwise—"

"..."

The Demon King silently made an innocent gesture, and then hid back again, leaning against the blind corner behind the double doors.Unless the other party poked his head out of the door and looked around, it was impossible to see him.

"...Okay," the brave had no choice but to bite the bullet and responded, "He won't show up."

"Is that so...then, that's fine."

The little girl finally calmed down a little bit.

"And... Next, um, Mr. Brave, can I, can I talk to you? Just, just the two of us."

"……Hey?"

The double doors were pushed a little further, and the little girl stood on the inside of the door tremblingly, staring down at the ground with red eyes, not daring to look up at all—as if she was really bullied and crying.

If it weren't for the numbness in his arm that was still aching from the shock, the brave man would almost suspect that it was not himself but the opponent who was suppressed in the battle just now.

"Can you, um... come in and have a talk with me? I, I will definitely not launch an attack suddenly again!... As long as the former demon king stays away, he will definitely not!"

"OK?"

The brave man turned his head and looked around the corner.Half of the Demon King's face was hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he immediately returned him with a gesture of "it's okay, I don't mind".

"Okay." He nodded resolutely.
