Chapter 113: Chapter 113
Chapter 113
" . . . W-what the hell are you!"
A demon asked in surprise when I showed myself up while killing the third demon .
"T . . . This guy's Mathias! Spread out as planne--"
Looks like one of the demons know my face .
I activate 【Shrinking Ground】 when I see that demon trying to give an instruction .
"Wha, he disa--"
A demon shouted out in surprise when they saw me suddenly vanishing .
Looks like those demons lost sight of me just now .
It should have been easy to break through 【Shrinking Ground】 by simply looking at the mana reaction . . . . Present day demons really aren't used to combat .
Thus I kindly show myself up in front of the demon so they won't lose sight of me even by mistake .
" . . . Eh?"
I swing my sword horizontally at the demon who couldn't grasp what was going on and let out a stupid voice .
The demon couldn't react until its end as its head got lopped off in one slash and fell to the ground .
Ten remain .
It'll be troublesome if it took the group under control .
Defeating the one who looks like they could take lead is the basic of combat against groups .
"Th . . . this guy can vanish!"
"How'd you even fight something like--"
The demons shout out in fear after seeing my move just now .
They've completely lost their wits . They look like they're ready to run away anytime now .
. . . . Letting them run will be annoying .
If this many demons use 『Fullpower Flight』 all at once, some could likely escape .
Since The 『Great Barrier of Royal Capital』 that can prevent demons from going in and out is not operational yet .
OK . Let's give them a hint .
When I think about it, it feels like I'm always doing sneak attacks whenever I'm fighting demons .
"It's useless . You have no way to fight back inside this barrier . "
After saying that, I regulate my mana to make it look like an emission from barrier magic .
What a lame fake if I do say so myself .
"Barrier--I see! This guy makes himself disappears with control-type barrier! Destroy--"

However it seems the demons are tricked just fine .
The demons shoot out a huge amount of mana toward a point .
It's a technique called 『Mana Saturation』 used for destroying simple barriers .
With a cracking sound, something seemed like it broke behind me .
Yup, an expected response .
It was worth purposely killing them in an impactful way to rob them off their ability to think calmly .
"Idiot! Combat-type barrier can be easily be broken off with mana!"
Of course the idiot here is the demons .
The barrier we set up isn't so small it could be broken by this level of demon's 『Mana Saturation』 .
The sound earlier was something I put out using magic in order to show these demons in an easy to understand way that the barrier had been broken .
"Eh? Why'd he disapp--"
While thinking that, I activated 【Shrinking Ground】 once again and killed the demon who was giving orders .
I also killed two other nearby demons while I was at it .
Seven remain now .
. . . Should be about time to make it look like they've dealt with 【Shrinking Ground】 .
Since they'll likely try to escape if they get too cornered .
And so, I run toward a demon without vanishing myself by kicking barrier magic on my foot .
"I can see him! I can see him! Now we--GUAAAAAA"
When the demon saw me rushing toward it, it shouted out in delight as it swung its magic augmented sword while also shooting a magic .
I put 【Steel Slash】 and 【Mana Strike】 on my sword and cut the demon along with the sword it was going to use to block my sword .
Yup . The new sword is nicely sharp .
This time it had the time to scream its last since I cut its body, not neck .
"Mo . . . Monster!"
The remaining demons who saw that backed off while shouting fearfully .
I mean I'm human, I don't think it's right for the demons to call me monsters . . . .
