For a moment, the vision in front was dyed red. It was like a baptism, with the blood pouring out like rain.
Small, thin drops of blood covered all the monsters that were flocking to them.
And the collapse was instantaneous.
The battle lines of the rushing monsters collapsed. They jammed, tangled, fell, and wildly wallowed, and slipped on the ground. A thick layer of dust spread.
Silence fell. That happened in just a few seconds.
"···"
Asher's eyes lit up with astonishment.
There were no more living and moving monsters. Only the hills of corpses piled up remained.
It didn't take time to understand what had happened.
The scene unfolding before her eyes was incomprehensible no matter how many times she might have seen it.
What the hell kind of power was this?
She thought that she had seen all the abilities of the Seventh Lord being by his side until now. But it was just an arrogant delusion.
Asher turned her gaze and looked blankly at the Seventh Lord.
With his hands down, he stared at the other side with indifferent eyes.
Beyond the corpses, a gigantic monster wriggling tentacles and moving swiftly. It was like it was running away.
The figure of the Seventh Lord, who shed a trivial laugh, disappeared.
She came to her senses and turned her head again. Suddenly, he was in the air in the distance.
***
Complete annihilation.
It wasn't much of a thrill because it was the expected result from the time the monsters came in ignorantly as a swarm.
"···"
However, Asher and the other two were completely at a lost.
It was natural to think of what they had just seen as something incomprehensible. Especially since they didn't know about my abilities.
···But look at that weak bastard.
I looked at the monster boss who was running away with its tentacles wriggling. Was it running away after all of its subordinates died?
I used space leaps in succession, narrowing the distance with him in an instant.
Ugh!
With a sign of urgency, it once again gathered a magic ball from the tentacles. This time, instead of shooting like a beam, it threw it whole towards me.
I spread the floating veil in the air.
The magic ball that collided with the veil exploded as it was. It was a formidable force, but it couldn't break through the veil's defense.
As soon as the flash went off, I immediately spread my blood and made it into an elongated thorn.
We were still far away from each other, but we were close enough that my blood could hit it.
The blood spurted through the air and hit its huge body.
Woohoo!
After checking the figure of the monster that had collapsed with a loud roar, I landed gently on the ground.
The surrounding area was a field of corpses of monsters.
I looked around at them for a while and then he felt sorry.
It was because I felt regretful about the fact that I couldn't get a single experience point even after slaughtering an army of monsters like this.
How many people have I killed after falling into this world? If I could have leveled up, how many levels would I have now?
I used space leap and got closer to the fallen monster. Then, I looked around.
By the way, why wasn't this guy a named boss in Hallmenta a few years later?
There were many reasons that come to mind. Either it was attacked by a stronger monster, or a superhuman from outside killed it.
In particular, I thought the Mad King might have killed it since the other often hunted in places like this.
Soon, Asher came running to where I was.
The other two people were already nearby.
They were staring at something among the corpses of the monsters, so I was wondering what they were looking at, but it was the corpse of a giant toad monster.
···Uh.
Wait a minute, was that?
I approached them and looked at the monster's corpse together.
Devil Toad. A monster that the two were looking for so they could take revenge.
Apparently, this guy was also under domination and was mixed among the group of monsters earlier.
"···This is that monster. It's dead."
Chercy murmured.
Kellip didn't take his eyes off the corpse. It was a gaze with complex emotions, including emptiness.
I stood there a little embarrassed, then he turned his gaze to me and said,
"It's a pity I couldn't kill it with my own hands, but thank you."
I nodded.
Chercy also looked at Devil Toad's corpse with a somewhat sad face.
It would probably feel like such a waste for them, but it would have been good for them to leave the demonic land cleanly with this.
Squeak!
Kellip, looking at the monster's body again, cut off the tip of its toe a little, and put it in the leather pocket on his waist.
I didn't ask why he did that. He probably just wanted to take it to his brother's grave since it's the one who killed him.
Anyway, this was finally all over.
We're done here, but the time was delayed because of the disappearance of Asher.
This time around, a lot of stuff happened. And I didn't get the mystery I was planning to get.
***
There was no reason to remain in the demonic land any longer, since Chercy and Kellip both achieved their goals.
We went in the same direction anyway, so we continued walking together until we went out. And after leaving Hallmenta, we said our goodbyes.
"Goodbye then, Sir Ron! And Sir Asher! Thank you so much!"
Chercy waved her hand vigorously, and Kellip nodded his head in one final thank-you note.
Me and Asher moved again as two.
We lost our horses, so we had to travel differently compared to when we came. Thanks to the super regeneration, it mattered little to me even if I had little stamina.
After a long time of such diligent movement, we returned to the city where Baros was waiting.
