Swoosh! swish! swoosh!
While I eliminated the mage who seed to be the most powerful in the area, it was not ti to celebrate. For, for that very reason, I had now beco a more prominent target. Three flashes erged in the air, each aid directly at .
I identified the elents instantly: water, earth and ice. A deadly combination, designed to cover all my possible escape routes.
I acted before the situation overwheld . I activated "Eyes of Lust," analyzing the magical structure of the water spell.
"Bang!"
With my pre-recorded magic I quickly threw A piece of crystal at high speed shot out from my finger, decomposing the macuic water spell into an explosion of steam.
The other two... Although I thought they were magics, when I activated my eyes and saw them in detail I noticed that they were arrows imbued and empowered with so elental art.
Without ti to think more, they arrived almost simultaneously. I reinforced my hands with layers of the crystal elent, quickly using my affinity for light.
Thud!,Thud!
I managed to deflect both just at the last mont. The impact reverberated through my arms, leaving my muscles numb. Those guys were powerful, of about five tamorphoses.
I decided to stop drawing attention to myself and backed up a bit, along with my dopelganger who was covering , blending in with the other rcenaries to take a breather, not caring about those guys who attacked .
Unlike the center, where the real army was, this place, where the rcenaries were fighting, had no plans or strategies. Just pure survival.
It was a raw battle. Now my brain was beginning to understand clearly what the weight of a war was and how lives fall easily.
You don’t even have ti to understand if the one you killed deserved it or not. There is no ti to make those conscious decisions here.
Luckily, our side seed more nurous, both in army and rcenaries, as we were not the only groups that had co as reinforcents to this front and there were many more human rcenaries than demonic ones.
"haaaa..."
Well, now that I backed off from being a priority I finally managed to calm down and regain my composure. to begin with, there was no need for to be active in this war. What happened before was just trying to survive.
I didn’t have to act unless the situation compelled , as before I had foolishly gone ahead, concentrating only on my purpose.
I still kept my purpose in mind, but first I had to stay alive, I couldn’t lose focus or it would be the end of . With my senses sharpened, I braced myself for anything, but just at that mont....
Buuuuuoooooo!
"Retreat!!!!"
What sounded like a retreat signal from the demons rang out, and I heard many of them shout the sa thing.
Finally, this gave scope to understand things more clearly since I arrived on this battlefront.
And, as the rumors said, the humans seed especially bent on this war. You could see in whoever was leading this front and how they were handling things, how determined they were.
I didn’t know exactly how long they had fought before we arrived, but, from the ti I looked down from the top of the mountain until we arrived, it had been about an hour of running.
The humans seed especially focused, not caring about the losses, causing the demons to finally acknowledge their defeat in this battle and retreat.
Now that I didn’t have to worry about an attack from the opposing side, I finally had ti to resu my original plan, I certainly couldn’t waste this opportunity.
I had to take advantage of the fact that things were flowing in my favor. Sohow, I feel that being close to William would have passive advantages, and events were lining up, allowing to accomplish things more smoothly than even being optimistic I thought.
I couldn’t foolishly risk it, while this was a golden opportunity, running without thinking about it would be dangerous. But from what I could see there was a good chance that I wouldn’t have to take a big risk....
"Attack! Don’t let them escape!"
"Right!"
for a mont I thought I had to let this opportunity go, but the captain general who was the highest authority here , t my expectations, now I didn’t have to risk anything and I could take advantage of the chaos of the chase.
It seed that it was ti for a hunt. While it is not at all pleasant to be in a war and kill people, if it was for my goals it was necessary I would not hesitate.
I know that those who hesitate in this world die, and I will not be a pushover who dies, not when I knew that these situations would occur more than once in the future, and my girls were waiting for at ho.
Those who were not tired began to run after the demonic army. I could see how what looked like the mounted squadron, who were the fastest, decimated the fleeing demons.
The sa was happening with the faster people; they rcilessly slashed or threw magic at the backs of the demons.
It was not a cheerful scene, let alone a satisfying one. The stifling air of war and the sll of blood made nauseous and dizzy, but I still kept running forward.
Now that my life was not in danger, I simply ran, looking for the opportunity I was waiting for.
My doppelgänger lagged behind; he didn’t run as fast. Not because he couldn’t, but because it wasn’t necessary. If things turned out well, from now on we would work separately.
After several minutes of running, we finally reached what looked like the beginning of a wooded territory.
From the looks of it, the main ones of the demon army were following the main paved path through the forest, while others, perhaps hoping to lose the knights and mounted soldiers, were going in from the sides, which were dense woods.
After all, everyone was desperately retreating, and the smoothed path was only enough for a hundred n to pass at a ti.
And with thousands running, this seed inevitable even for the infantry of the demon army. They had no choice but to scatter.
Their leader was not orderly handling the retreat, and the lower ranks of the army had to survive as best they could, not to ntion the demon rcenaries who only ca for the money.
..
"there’s one, perfect!"
Among the demons there was a particular race that wore masks. One might think that it was just any demon wearing a mask, but I knew that these were a peculiar race that would help in my goal, I had them in mind since I found out in the bar that there was a war in progress.
Finally, I was close enough to one that was going into the forest and I noticed that it also had four tamorphoses. It perfectly fulfilled everything I needed.
Now, in this chaotic situation I needed to be quick and I couldn’t hesitate at any mont. I was on a tightrope where the slightest mistake could lead to my
I was already prepared, it took my doppelgänger more than a day to complete that magic space circle and it was not only to extend the scope of the scroll; the magic circle had three functions, and now, it was ti to test the second function, which was accompanied by the help of the twins.
I took a red gemstone from my storage bag and imdiately, with the resonance activated, I transmitted my intentions. Seconds later I felt the connection.

I imdiately felt stronger: Selene’s stats, which were almost identical to mine, and Eira’s, which were just beginning to sync up, were adding to mine.
"Art of Lust, Fifth Stance: Tempting Torrent."
I imdiately circulated the attack art, before I had used it to imbue a spear now it was as if I was the spear, after all, to the art of lust is a spear art not lee, however, the more I practiced and understood it, I realized it was a more flexible hybrid art than I thought, sothing rarely found in arts, which always has a predisposition to a weapon and Elent.
The demon was about a hundred ters in front of , but this attack stance is special because the more montum you build up, the more powerful it is.
Using it directly on my body instead of a weapon, it is extrely useful for shortening distances instantly. Putting a large amount of mana to make it more effective, along with lightning and light mana, which are two especially fast elents, the result of all that was:
Boom!!!
"Uggh!!!"
With an explosive roar originating from my feet, before anyone could notice anything, I was already on the demon’s back, piercing its back with my claws. Although so of the montum was sapped by the impact, I didn’t stop.
I kept moving, dodged the large trees in the way and continued forward. The demons were busy running to pay attention to .
As I ran and carried him, the guy squird a little at the unexpected pain, it seed he didn’t understand what was happening all of a sudden and couldn’t say anything, it was too late for him.
This posture of the "Art of Lust" is highly destructive. Imdiately, the energy, light and lightning mana I fed it with began to consu him from the point of impact.
If I didn’t act fast, it would turn him into ashes, just like the demon I killed at the academy.
I stopped for a mont in a relatively covered spot before it disintegrated and placed a hand on its head.
