If you search the body of the demon you just killed, you will find the reward, a healing potion.
But with a half-star healing potion, there's no need to bother acquiring it.
Ripple.
The space next to Davian rippled, and a dimensional portal appeared.
If you go out through here, you can return to the human realm.
Davian's gaze turned to the 'Y' for participation.
Swish.
The entrance that had appeared next to Davian quietly disappeared.
Stage 2 began.
"What? Amazing? A dimensional portal appeared next to you and then disappeared. Did you do that, Davian?"
"It's hard to say no, and it's ambiguous to say yes."
An exit appeared as a result of clearing the stage, but strictly speaking, Davian didn't create it.
"Fun. Hehe. Fun, Davian. How far are you going to invade? A human invading the demon realm alone. My sister would be shocked if I told her about this, right?"
"I'm going to go as far as I can."
"Ooh, good!"
In an instant, a bright light spread out, and Glasia, in human form, stood next to Davian.
"Can I come along?"
Can she?
It's very welcome.
Glasia life insurance.
"Well... if you really want to."
"Hehe! Thanks, Davian."
Glasia was the one who suggested the contract first, but until now, she had never shown any interest in Davian's actions.
'Does it take invading the demon realm alone for her to become interested?'
Davian slowly began to move his feet.
"Are you going to that village down there?"
"Yeah."
"Are you going to fight those demons in the village?"
"Yeah. Only the ones who attack first."
"But why are you fighting?"
To get rewards.
But if I explain, it's going to be a long story.
Davian found an easy answer to give.
"Because I hate demons."
"Oh, Davian being Davian. You had this side to you?"
Glasia, who was sticking close and following along, clapped her hands.
"Demon slayer, Davian being Davian!"
Glasia put her hands behind her back and jumped forward to face Davian.
Glasia smiled brightly as she walked backward, matching Davian's walking speed.
"But Davian."
"Yeah?"
"You know that those four just now were just ordinary people as far as humans go, right? They weren't very strong."
"I know."
"Then you know that there will be stronger demons in that village, right?"
"Yeah, I know."
"And beyond that village, there are even stronger demons, right?"
"I know."
"I know you're pretty strong for your age, but you're not skilled enough to massacre demons all by yourself, are you? Let's see... Can you take down one or two commander-level demons? Maybe even that would be difficult?"
That's right.
"I'm going to stop when it's appropriate and go back."
Glasia clapped her hands together and pointed at Davian with her index finger.
"See! You can go back if you want, right? That dimensional portal from earlier! You did that, right, Davian? You can make it and erase it whenever you want? I knew it... There's no way you could wander around the demon realm alone otherwise. How did you do it? I haven't heard of any humans who can do that yet!"
It seems that being able to open and close dimensional portals at will is enough to pique Glasia's curiosity.
"It's not up to me. But if I kill all the demons coming out of that village, it will open again."
"Hoo... What is it? The way you circulate mana is different. Your growth rate too... You really are special, Davian."
"Wasn't that why you wanted to be friends?"
"Oh? That's right. Hehe. My friends have to be special. The best in the human realm!"
According to the common subject class, the horns on the heads of demons are not for intimidating opponents.
Like antennas, demons use their horns to sense and communicate with each other.
The distance that is possible varies from individual to individual, which humans do not yet know accurately.
In any case, the demons in the village just below the hill would have noticed the deaths of the four demons.
As Davian expected, the demons in the village began to move busily.
Before long, demons with various weapons began to run up the hill.
The number was about thirty.
After killing all those demons, the combat demons from the legion will be sent in earnest.
And after defeating those guys, even stronger guys will appear.
This time, Davian summoned the ice sword.
"Oh, pretty. An ice sword. It looks sharper than before? You've improved a lot again, Davian. Shall we see your skills for the first time in a while?"
"Are you just going to watch?"
"Yeah. Want me to help?"
"Not yet."
"Yeah, it looks like it. Hehe."
Davian also quickly jumped down the hill.
Shortly after.
Davian's ice sword and the sword of the demon who was climbing the hill collided.
Crash!
The ice sword cut through the demon's sword and then cut through his body.
"Kuaaak!"
The demon with a large wound from his shoulder to his stomach screamed in agony.
Slash.
But Davian's ice sword did not stop.
Davian, who had rotated his body once, split his body in half again before the demon's scream ended.
Swoosh.
The ice sword glowed red in the light of the demon realm's sun.
A long line of red light moved haphazardly across the hill.
The soft curve of the sword was uninterrupted anywhere.
It cut through swords when it met them, and split shields when it met them.
The demons' black blood splattered everywhere, but the red sword light continued to draw beautiful curves.
When the wave of red light finally stopped.
Only Davian and Glasia stood tall on the hill.
Glasia, who had been standing far away, approached.
"Amazing? I thought you might mix in some magic. Your swordsmanship has really improved a lot. It didn't even take 10 minutes to slaughter thirty demons with a sword."
Ding.

Ripple.
"Oh! It appeared again. The dimensional portal."
As the second stage was cleared, an entrance to the human realm appeared.
Glasia made a fuss, putting her hand in and out of the dimensional portal.
"Amazing. How does it just appear and disappear next to you like that, Davian?"
Davian accepted the third stage.
The dimensional portal quietly disappeared.
"It's going to get serious now, right? Your reputation has spread throughout this area. The demon slayer, Davian has appeared!"
Glasia was just talking to herself.
At that moment.
Geometric shapes suddenly began to be drawn in the space not far ahead.
Shortly after.
The space distorted, and three demons walked out.
They were wearing luxurious clothes and exuding a strong aura.
One of the demons, looking around, opened his mouth.
"Did you two do all this?"
"No! Wrong!"
Glasia giggled and stepped forward.
"Hehehe. This Davian being Davian did it all by himself! You demons should remember today! The appearance of the demon slayer, Davian being Davian!"
Please... Glasia.
Don't do that.
"Demons were suddenly dying, so I thought a human army had crossed over. But it was just a couple of crazy bastards who came over and were causing trouble. How did you get into the demon realm?"
This time, Davian answered.
"The door was open."
The demon's eyebrows twitched, and then a chilling laugh erupted.
"Hahaha. It's like you walked into hell yourself."
The two demons standing on either side of him also looked at Davian with unpleasant smiles.
The demon in the middle spoke again.
"My name is Sabant. You should know my name before you die, human."
"My name is Davian being Davian. You should know my name before you die too."
"You're insane."
Sabant.
It's a name I've heard before.
The guy who brought Davian to the brink of death in the third run.
'He introduced himself with that arrogant expression back then too.'
At that time, he was a little better than an academy sophomore or junior.
It's different now.
Since then, I've collected mana points for over 5 years.
I've also raised my internal and external power in this run through double majoring.
Now, a guy like that...
"Kekekeke."
He's letting out an unpleasant laugh with a bitter smile, as if he's having fun.
'That unlucky demon bastard.'
Davian withdrew the inner force he had been slowly releasing with his right hand.
The ice sword he was holding melted away.
"I thought you had a strange weapon. What's wrong, are you scared and giving up on fighting? Human."
Davian pointed his finger at the demon.
"You there, Sabant. You're using demonic energy, right? Let's have a head-on fight."
"What? You inferior human doesn't know your place."
"Um... the two guys next to you can help too. It's troublesome, so let's just fight three-on-one."
Combat demons, like humans, can be divided into two main categories.
Those who use demonic energy and those who have pushed their body movements to the limit.
If the former corresponds to human mages, the latter can be said to be human swordsmen.
The three guys standing in front of me are all mainly using demonic energy.
Davian first manifested fire element magic.
Kwaaaa!
A fire pillar as thick as a large tree was fired towards Sabant.
"Presumptuous!"
Sabant stretched both hands forward.
From his hands, a sinister and black energy, demonic energy, spewed out.
Kwaaang!
Sabant's and Davian's energies collided strongly in the air.
The intertwined energies pushed each other away, gradually increasing in size.
"Is that all you've got? Sabant."
"What? You inferior human!"
Davian pushed 5-star magic power into the fire pillar.
Davian's fire pillar instantly began to engulf Sabant's demonic energy.
"Kuh, kuh! What is that guy! What are you doing! Help me!"
At Sabant's words, the two demons on either side added their strength.
As the power of the three was combined, the demonic energy began to push back Davian's fire pillar little by little.
"That's what I'm talking about. You have no pride or honor, that's what makes you demons. You should have attacked together from the start."
"Shut up! You dying human talks too much!"
"Is that so?"
Goooo.
Davian pushed in the maximum magic power he could muster.
Davian's magic power, which was passing the early stages of 6-star and heading towards the mid-stage.
Flames began to spread to the grass and trees that had not even touched the scorching heat.
The air was heated up and became shimmering heat haze.
Glasia, who was standing behind Davian, retreated little by little.
"Ah, I hate hot things."
That's when it happened.
Kwagwagwagwa!
Davian's fire pillar began to advance like a bulldozer.
It had the momentum to swallow and burn anything that blocked its path.
