Chapter 110

Now, let’s talk about the Eastern Massacre Demon.

Its appearance resembles that of an armored warrior, and regardless of whether the opponent is a monster or a human, the lives taken by its demonic sword counts in the hundreds of thousands.

Originally, he was a hero from ancient times, and he used forbidden sorcery to enhance his own power.

By being bitten by a vampire, he turned into a Lesser Vampire, gaining eternal life… That’s the story, right?

In exchange, he lost his sanity and is said to possess intelligence no higher than that of a beast.

Once a hero, he now wanders seeking battle, reduced to a mere machine for collecting experience points… It’s quite a splendid downfall story.

According to the information gathered by the Dragon King, it seems that due to collecting experience points for over a thousand years, he possesses overwhelming power even against an Ultimate Goblin if he’s alone.

So, that’s why Moses and the others set their sights on him.

In their initial evolution plan, Cordelia was supposed to be brought to a state called the Human-Demon Emperor, considered the pinnacle of humanity.

But, due to my interference with Cordelia’s development plan using the Dragon King, it ended in a failure.

Well, the mass-produced heroes (Overs) that were a byproduct of that research have already ceased production…

Anyway, it’s undeniable that the armored warrior before us has recently undergone artificial evolution.

Most likely, the mass-produced ones created by Moses and the others are made up of rough characters abducted from the Criminal Guilds and slums…

Naturally, the armored warrior stands out as the best among them as a base.

In other words, it can be concluded that the armored warrior is the strongest among the forces owned by them, aside from the reincarnated individuals.

「First, let’s warm up.」

Jumping towards the armored warrior strolling calmly through the marshes.

Swinging Excalibur with all my might from above.

—Clang!

With a dull sound, I landed and simultaneously flipped to avoid the sword swing from the opponent.

「Ouch…!」

I missed the dodge by a few millimeters. Looks like I got a shallow cut.

Well, at this level, one-hit KOs are impossible… maybe.

But, it can be managed.

Certainly, if I’m done in by a mass-produced top-tier individual, it’s game over here.

However—

「This is troublesome.」

My radar scouting skill has picked up some unwelcome guests.

The reactions of five powerful individuals… and three of them are Ultimate Goblins.

I have to deal with the armored warrior, and he’s not the kind of opponent I can afford to go easy on.

If I’m told to take on all of them, including the goblins… Well, it’s not impossible.

However, that’s assuming they all target me alone.

If they judge that I’m not a match for them, the Ultimate Goblins will choose to escape.

In that case, those humans here—those in the path of escape—are at high risk of being harmed.

Except for Saegusa and the others, they’re just dead weight, and they’ll likely be trampled by the armored warrior or the three Ultimate Goblins.

And even for Saegusa and the others, it’s a bit tough to deal with an armored warrior or three Ultimate Goblins. It’s an impossible game.

If I use that trump card, I might be able to handle one Ultimate Goblin… but…

「No other choice.」

With that said, I called out to the remaining two who had just appeared.

「So, which one do you prefer, Cordelia?」

「The stronger one… I guess?」

Cordelia grinned.

「And what about you, Lilith? Which one do you prefer?」

「I also want the stronger one— I want to test my current self.」

「Okay. You two take on the armored warrior.」

Clapping my hands together, I headed towards the Ultimate Goblins.

「I won’t come to help immediately if things get dangerous, okay? It’ll take me a while to deal with three Ultimate Goblins.」

「I won’t let it get dangerous— I’ve been vomiting blood for half a year.」

With a wry smile, I said,

「Well… Let’s see what you can do.」
