Clang!
An absurd battle unfolded before Davian's eyes.
Bonita Portis, the ace of the 4th-year swordsmanship department, was fighting evenly with Legion Commander Unos.
Although she wasn't skilled enough to immediately cut down the Legion Commander.
Bonita also didn't seem like she would be defeated by the Legion Commander.
Clang!
Every time Bonita's sword clashed with Unos's sword.
A shocking sound that echoed through the dungeon erupted.
It was hard to believe that the sound came from swords colliding.
"Impressive, Bonita Portis."
Davian hadn't even considered that someone else would deal with Legion Commander Unos.
There were Chancellor Hugo Molton and Magic Department Head Sirims Andrian, but.
Protecting the academy students was their priority over finishing off the demon Legion Commander.
When the Lethe Legion invaded, a reasonably balanced front was formed, allowing Davian to leave with them to capture the Legion Commander.
Today, the level and number of demons were incomparable to that day.
That's why he came to catch the Legion Commander with Glacie.
But Bonita Portis suddenly intervened and was facing Legion Commander Unos alone.
Even though the sword was six or seven times larger, the clean sword path remained unchanged.
And because the sword was longer, the speed at the end of the sword was even faster.
Bonita's movements had also risen to a level he had never seen before.
'Is that the power of the Ego Sword Eden?'
He said he would make Bonita Portis the greatest in the world.
It seems like he didn't just say it.
"Ah, this demon bastard. Shooting that black magic all the time is really annoying."
Legion Commander Unos's magic.
Even to Davian, it was more powerful than any demon's magic he had ever encountered.
Even a reasonably trained swordsman would feel their body burn if they were grazed by it.
Whoosh.
Every time Bonita Portis's sword cut through the air.
Legion Commander Unos's magic was cut down powerlessly.
Bonita seemed to think of it as a bothersome element that interfered with the battle.
But there wouldn't be many swordsmen in the entire continent who could cut it down.
And probably no swordsman who could cut it down so casually like that...
'I don't think there would be.'
If someone asked Davian if he could cut that down so casually, as if it were annoying.
He would have no choice but to say, "I don't know."
First of all, the sword would have to be at least 5 meters long to cut down that magic.
Chancellor Hugo Molton and Swordsmanship Department Head Leo Martiang could probably draw out Aura to that length.
But it would be difficult to maintain it so stably and sharply for such a long time.
Glacie, who had been watching the two's battle with an interested expression, opened her mouth.
"That child has become incredibly strong. Isn't it possible that your friend might actually win?"
"I guess so. I didn't know Bonita had become that strong either."
But.
It was true that it seemed a bit difficult with Bonita's power alone.
If it were the human realm, Bonita might have won as Glacie said.
But this was the dungeon created directly by Legion Commander Unos.
Naturally, demons exert more power in the demon realm.
This wasn't quite the demon realm, but it was inside a dungeon where the demon realm and the human realm were intertwined.
Slash!
Bonita's sword deeply slashed Legion Commander Unos's shoulder.
However.
Gurgle, gurgle.
The wounded tissue intertwined and was instantly healed.
On the other hand, if Bonita allowed even a single effective hit, it would obviously lead to a fatal wound.
She was holding up well so far, but a dangerous situation could easily arise.
"I think I'll have to intervene."
"Well, I don't think they'd want that, would they?"
"They?"
"Bonita and that sword."
Davian turned his head back to look at Bonita's battle.
"Don't you think their synchronization rate is gradually increasing?"
"Synchronization rate?"
"Yeah. That sword is an Ego Sword, right? The synchronization rate with your friend keeps increasing."
Now that she mentioned it.
The fact that he felt the movements were gradually changing must have been the synchronization rate that Glacie was talking about.
"Synchronization rate? Does that mean the two are merging?"
"If I had to say, it's more like combining each other's abilities. I think it might be better to leave it as it is for a bit longer."
"Is that so?"
No matter how sensitive Davian's senses had become.
If the top-tier spirit Glacie felt something, that would be correct.
'Well, I can just keep a close eye on it and jump in right away if it gets dangerous.'
As Glacie said, he decided to watch a little longer.
Bang! Clang!
Bonita's sword and Legion Commander Unos's sword clashed repeatedly.
Davian nodded.
'It's definitely not just because she got a good sword that she suddenly got stronger.'
Bonita Portis had been more diligent in her personal training than ever before since obtaining the Ego Sword Eden.
Today's battle was the result of that.
A product of painstaking effort.
'If someone else had it, they wouldn't have been able to raise that synchronization rate or whatever to this extent in such a short period of time.'
It was only possible because it was Bonita Portis.
She was obsessed with swordsmanship.
She devoted her life to realizing the ultimate of swordsmanship.
She wielded swordsmanship with higher perfection than anyone else.
She was a figure who could sufficiently sound the alarm in the current swordsmanship world, where only inner strength was regarded as the measure of a swordsman's rank.
So when she, with her skills, wielded Eden, which called itself the strongest Ego Sword on earth.
The synergy effect was bound to be outside of Davian's expectations.
Slash!
Bonita's sword greatly slashed Legion Commander Unos's chest.
Gurgle, gurgle.
Just as the chest wound was about to regenerate.
Thwack!
Bonita, who had quickly rotated her body, stood the sword that had been moving in a circular motion upright and converted it into a thrusting motion as is.
It was a motion that any swordsman with inner strength could do, a swordsmanship technique that abruptly changed the direction of the sword's movement to confuse the opponent.
But.
There wouldn't be many swordsmen who could do this with a sword over 6 meters long.
And not to break through the opponent's defense.
But to inflict a deeper wound on the wound that had already been inflicted.
"Kuh, how dare a lowly human."
"What are you saying, you foolish demon bastard who couldn't even graze my clothes once."
Swish.
Bonita Portis pulled out the sword she had plunged into Legion Commander Unos's chest.
Davian, surprised, muttered to himself.
"What?"
He definitely pulled out the sword.
But the huge red Aura that had been enveloping Bonita's sword was still deeply embedded in Legion Commander Unos's torso.
The Ego Sword Eden revealed its silver blade again after a long time.
"What did you just do, Bonita Portis."
She plunged a sword with an Aura of over 6 meters into the opponent's chest.
And left the Aura as is, and only pulled out the sword again.
Whoosh.
Bonita's sword, the Ego Sword Eden, began to vibrate again.
This time, a blue Aura was emitted.
"Crazy."
Thud.
Legion Commander Unos collapsed.
Six different colored Auras were embedded in his body.
All of them were Auras with huge lengths.
"Wow, Bonita. Oh my god. You defeated the strongest Legion Commander all by yourself."
Bonita, who approached Davian and Glacie with an expression as if nothing had happened, shrugged her shoulders.
"It wasn't a big deal."
Not a big deal.
It was regrettable that he was the only one who saw this.
If she had shown this in a place where the Chancellor or the Swordsmanship Department Head were present.
Perhaps today would have been the day when the history of swordsmanship in the Alcancia Kingdom was rewritten.
"Ah, Davian. Eden told me to tell you something."
"What?"
Bonita imitated Eden's 말투.
"Heh heh. Did you see well? This is the power of me, the Ego Sword Eden, and my chosen companion, Bonita Portis. You can say it's the pinnacle of true swordsmanship. He told me to tell you that?"
"Oh, okay. Tell him I understand."
Whoosh.
Familiar night air began to flow in from somewhere.
The appearance of the dungeon became blurred, and the scenery of Elton City began to be revealed again.
Ting.
=====
[Quest 'The Great Invasion #1' Completed]
―Reward: 450K Mana Points (x2)
―Reward: Leadership +10, Dignity +10, Luck +10
=====
Bonita Portis.
She cleared the quest for free.
'900K Mana Points...'
It was a huge reward.
It might not be a number that could make a big change to Davian right now.
But it was close to 8-star magic power.
'Point details.'
He checked the point details after a long time.
=====
[Mana Points: 5,301K]
―Inner Strength: 4,410
―Outer Strength: 442
=====
The amount of points before distribution was now greater than the sum of his current inner and outer strength.
Once he distributed all the remaining points.
He would have abilities that were no longer in the realm of humans.
Beyond the early stage of 11-star to the intermediate stage.
First of all, in a world where the word 11-star itself didn't exist.
He would have both 11-star intermediate inner strength and magic power.
'Damn game. I had to get this strong to barely keep up?'
It was a moment when he keenly felt how pathetic the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd iterations of himself were.
He thought he had become quite strong in the 3rd iteration.
He was just resentful that he had been stabbed in the back and killed by a lower demon.
But thinking about it now, even if he hadn't died then, he was destined to die soon anyway.
The dungeon completely disappeared, and he returned to the middle of the battlefield.
Legion Commander Unos and Broliem had both been defeated, but tens of thousands of demons still remained.
"Bonita, can you do more?"
"Do you think I'd be exhausted and collapse after doing just that?"
"Let's push forward like this. To where our classmates are."
"Good idea."
The number of demons was still large.
But the gray fog that Legion Commander Unos had been emitting had disappeared.
This meant that they could no longer regenerate their bodies like before.
Crack, crack!
Glacie's ice spikes pierced the bodies of dozens of surrounding demons.
Boom!
Davian's Mana Sword cut through a large path towards the 4th-year formation.
Whoosh.
Bonita, who had created Aura, began to swing the huge sword wildly.
Demon Realm.
Penrose Continent.
"Even Unos has been defeated."
The Round Table Conference Room.
It wasn't the place where the Demon King held meetings with the Legion Commanders.
There were only four chairs placed around the Round Table.
It was the conference room of the Demon King and his direct subordinates, the Three Demon Armies.
One of the Three Demon Armies opened his mouth.
"He was strutting around as a Legion Commander, but that was all his skill was."
"That's what those guys who act like leaders with just a bunch of small fries are like."
Even with the Demon King present.
The Three Demon Armies spoke informally without hesitation.
"Demon King, is it our turn to step up now?"
"We have to show those old dragon bastards what's what. Time has passed, and we are not who we were back then."
"Has the day finally come to repay the humiliation of that day?"
The Three Demon Armies.
Direct subordinates who ruled the Demon Realm on behalf of the Demon King.
The Demon King's direct subordinates.
The Demon King's comrades.
And the Demon King himself.
Long ago.
When the accumulated magic power exceeded the limits of the body.
The Demon King, who was troubled by the magic power that no longer accumulated, succeeded in dividing his spirit into four.
The four spirits became four bodies again.
And the four divided bodies began to accumulate more magic power.
The Demon King and the Three Demon Armies.
Four demons who held the Penrose Continent in their hands.
And at the same time, beings that were the Demon King himself.
The Demon King opened his mouth.
"Let's go."
