660.

Whooooooo.

A dry wind blowing from afar scattered Leo’s white hair.

Leo silently gazed at the scenery spread out before his eyes.

The group’s current location was at the entrance to Tartaros Territory.

“I’m getting a bit nervous.”

Chelsea muttered while gripping her long staff tightly with both hands.

Not only Chelsea, but most of Leo’s party members had experience entering Tartaros Territory.

Since they were all children of great families, they had participated when their families went on expeditions to Tartaros Territory.

But the atmosphere was completely different from back then.

When Chelsea was active in Tartaros Territory, she moved together with skilled members of her family.

Literally, she had only played a partial role in a large-scale expedition force.

But now it was different.

The number of party members was seven.

As such, the burden Chelsea had to bear was also great.

The others seemed to feel the same way, as the atmosphere was tense.

Duran was fidgeting with the longsword hanging at his waist, and even Eliza, who would normally be grooming her nails, was watching the surroundings with sharp eyes.

In Driana’s case, she was keeping watch ahead from the front.

Ar had her arms crossed and eyes closed, but her cat ears were constantly twitching.

In the midst of this, Iliana spoke to Leo with a tense face.

“Class President. You must have extensive combat experience in Tartaros Territory, right?”

“Today is my first time coming to Tartaros Territory.”

“What?”

At his unexpected words, not only Iliana but all the companions looked at Leo.

“Hehehe! Even the black rabbit who gives off the vibe of a mister who’s been around the block is just a boy after all!”

Ar stepped right in front of Leo.

“Big sister will teach you well with her abundant experience, so rely on this big sister.”

Leo, who had been looking at Ar’s sparkling blue eyes, took out a coin from his pocket and tossed it to the ground with a whoosh.

Pat!

Ar, who unconsciously stepped on and caught the shining gold coin that passed by at high speed, fell silent, then rolled her eyes and grabbed Leo’s collar, shaking him.

“So! How long are you going to treat me like a cat! I’m a proper hero! I’m the successor following in Lord Arron’s footsteps!”

“Even so, you’re still a kitten.”

“Nyaaaaa!”

As the enraged Ar started hissing, Driana struck Ar’s head with the flat of her axe.

Thunk!

“Ugh!”

“Don’t get excited, stupid cat.”

Driana grabbed the scruff of Ar’s neck as she crouched down holding the back of her head, and dragged her away.

Watching this scene, Chelsea let out a small sigh.

“What a mess.”

“But the tense atmosphere has really died down, hasn’t it?”

“Huh? Now that you mention it?”

Chelsea’s eyes widened at Leo’s words.

“In the heart of enemy territory, an overly tense atmosphere isn’t good either. In that sense, you can see that Ar’s ability to lighten the mood is excellent.”

“Class President, you’re like a professor.”

Iliana giggled.

Leo chuckled at Iliana and said.

“Well, it seems everyone’s overly tense atmosphere has been somewhat relieved.”

Leo’s eyes narrowed.

Ar’s eyes, who had been pouting, also sharpened.

Crackle—

Lightning aura flickered from Duran’s hand for a moment, and Iliana’s shoulders trembled slightly.

Swoosh!

At that moment.

A dark red blade flashed behind Eliza, who was at the rear.

Flash! Clang!

“Oh?”

The robed woman looked at Iliana’s sword that had blocked her scythe and let out a light exclamation.

“There’s one brat with quick reflexes?”

“One?”

Iliana curled up the corner of her mouth.

Crackle! Flash!

Golden lightning roared fiercely behind the woman.

Duran, gripping his greatsword, swung his sword with flashing eyes as if to cut the woman in half at the waist.

“Oh my?”

The grinning woman’s body shot up into the sky.

“You reacted quite quickly, but that’s all…”

“…you think? You stupid demon!”

“!”

Bang!

Ar’s toe dug into the robed woman’s face.

Ar’s terrifying kick created something like a tremendous explosion, and the demon flew away and crashed into the ground.

A massive pressure slammed down on top of the demon.

Kwaaaaak!

“Hup?!”

The demon’s eyes bulged.

The demon bit her lips tightly under the enormous pressure crushing her body.

‘That mage bitch!’

Chelsea, gripping her long staff with both hands, was pointing the tip of her staff at the demon while pressing down crushingly.

Gooooooo!

Dark magic power burst forth from the demon’s gritted body.

She generated anti-magic resistance and fought against Chelsea’s wind.

Watching this, Chelsea grinned.

“Would you mind looking up?”

“What?”

The moment the demon’s gaze turned upward.

Driana was plummeting toward the demon at tremendous speed with her axe raised in both hands.

“Hup!”

Driana’s axe struck straight down on the demon’s head.

Bang! Kragagagagagagagang!

The surrounding ground cracked and debris shot up.

Seeing this, Iliana gaped.

“What kind of brute strength is that…”

“Driana’s physical strength is terrifying.”

“I thought you had the most strength among us.”

“My specialty is graceful movements based on quick speed. You guys seem pretty fast too, but you can’t match me, right?”

“Hah. Sorry, but the fastest among all the Hero Academies is none other than me! Lady Iliana of the Light-Speed Swift Sword.”

“What?”

Ar instantly looked at Iliana.

Watching this, Chelsea, who had released her magic, muttered.

“Is he really planning to push forward with that embarrassing nickname?”

“I think the alias is pretty cool though?”

Chelsea looked at Ar with an exasperated expression.

Watching such Ar, Duran muttered.

“What a tragedy. Having to live in the same era as those kinds of things.”

“Ah, for once I agree with what you’re saying.”

It was when Chelsea was shaking her head at Duran.

Driana, who emerged through the dust cloud, said.

“He escaped to the sky.”

At those words, everyone’s gaze turned toward the sky.

“What kind of demon is that demon?”

When Eliza, riding the summoned Wind Wyvern, narrowed her eyes and asked, Leo said.

“Judging by the aura of dark magic, it’s a Demon Summoner.”

As soon as those words ended, the demon, Ingel, removed his robe.

“You insolent brats!”

Blood was flowing down from Ingel’s forehead where his head had been struck.

Ingel’s neck, who was making an angry expression, suddenly swelled up and burst.

“Uwoop!”

From his enlarged mouth, Ingel spat out an egg the size of his own face.

“Weeek!”

Eliza grimaced at the sight.

“He’s definitely a Demon Summoner.”

A demon standing at the opposite end of summoners.

It was a demon that used the power of demon beasts.

The egg that Ingel spat out fell to the ground and cracked with a snap!

Then from that spot, a demon that looked exactly like Ingel popped out.

“Woop! Weeeeek!”

Ingel spat out another egg once more.

Along with that, another Ingel popped out from the egg that had fallen.

“Wh-what? What is that?”

Iliana made a horrified expression.

“It’s replication.”

“Replication?”

“It’s a unique dark magic used by Demon Summoners.”

Leo said calmly.

“It’s magic that summons replicas with the same power as oneself, and it’s an extremely troublesome magic.”

“Ah! I’ve heard of it! But isn’t that dark magic that was abandoned during the Age of Calamity 5,000 years ago?”

“It was.”

It was when Leo was nodding and about to draw his sword.

“Don’t step forward, Leo Flobe.”

Duran, with a greatsword on his shoulder, drew a longsword with his other hand and said.

“We’ll handle that.”

“Will you be okay?”

At those words, Chelsea said.

“This mission is one that even Heroes failed, right? That means it’s an incredible difficulty level. For that mission, Leo brought us as companions.”

Kugugugugugugugu-!

Summoning circles began to unfold in front of the replicated Ingels.

Along with that, something massive revealed its form.

Seeing that, Chelsea said.

“I can vaguely understand what Leo is thinking.”

He wanted to give them experience.

Chelsea, Duran, Eliza, and Iliana.

The four of them knew that fact.

“But even if we’re inexperienced, we were chosen because we’re qualified to stand on the same battlefield as Leo, right? Then trust us.”

Chelsea raised her magical power.

“Our party name is the same as the Great Heroes’ party name, right!? Then there’s no need for even the Class President to step forward against just that level of opponent.”

“That’s right. Leo. You’re our party’s hidden card. Preserve your stamina as much as possible.”

With Driana’s words as the end, a golden aura rose from Ar’s body.

“Let’s go!”

Kwak-!

Ar charged without hesitation toward the five Gigantes that had been summoned.

“Krheoooooooong!”

A howling burst from Ar’s mouth.

“Iliana!”

At Eliza’s shout, Iliana climbed onto the Wind Wyvern.

Hwaak-!

The Wind Wyvern flew through the sky at tremendous speed.

“You insolent brats! I’ll make you regret picking a fight with me!”

Ingel’s eyes flashed with killing intent in the void.

Ingel, who had been scouting the surroundings, was swept up in excitement upon seeing the suddenly appeared humans, Suin, and Dwarf group.

This surrounding area should already have no living beings left.

In such a place, humans, Suin, and a Dwarf who looked incomparably inexperienced had suddenly appeared.

‘Heheh! I’ll feast after a long time!’

He attacked while feeling elation.

But the youngsters possessed shocking power.

‘How! Is it even possible to have such power at this age!’

At the unbelievable result, Ingel decided to do his best.

“Nyaaaaaaa!”

Kwang-!

Watching Ar charge at tremendous speed and kick the Gigantes in the chest, Ingel’s eyes widened.

‘Beast transformation…?’

It’s not night right now.

But a Suin doing beast transformation…!

Ingel’s shoulders trembled with a start as he watched that scene from the sky.

“I see! I heard that a Suin who can do beast transformation appeared! That’s you!”

A sneer appeared on Ingel’s face.

“So it’s you lot! The foolish ones who resist destruction!”

‘They’re impressive, but… with just that level of skill…!’

It was surprising that the Suin, Dwarf, and two humans were facing five Gigantes, but it was absurd that they were talking about saving the world with just that level of skill.

“What are you saying, you ugly hag.”

Then an annoyed voice was heard.

Flash-!

Along with tremendous light, Ingel’s vision was instantly flipped.

“Huh?”

“Using outdated dark magic that was already broken 5,000 years ago! What a dim-witted demon!”

Iliana let out a sneer.

“What did you… say?”

“Replication makes the main body’s power excessively weak, right? So if you approach close like this and slash! it’s over!”

That’s why it was created by the Monster Queen 5,000 years ago and abandoned shortly after.

Even Ingel, the user, knew that.

However….

“This bitch! How did you figure out this magic’s weakness! This magic was just recently bestowed upon us by the Mabeast Queen….”

Gooooooo! Kwagagagak-!

“Good work, Bippi.”

Eliza’s Wind Wyvern blew Ingel’s body away completely.

Blown away by the aftermath of the Wind Breath with only his face remaining, Ingel crashed to the ground with a dejected expression before he could even finish speaking.

Thud-! Tumble tumble tumble! Thunk-!

Ingel’s rolling head stopped at someone’s feet.

In an instant, Ingel’s gaze turned toward the sky.

“Despite having the power of a high-ranking demon, your combat ability is pathetic.”

Leo muttered indifferently and raised his foot to crush Ingel’s head.

At that moment….

“Ah…. Ah…. Ah…!”

He hesitated upon seeing the look of shock in Ingel’s eyes.

“Why…. Why is the sky…. The sky….”

Leo lowered his foot as he watched Ingel’s expression of disbelief.

And he spoke.

“You. Which faction of demons do you belong to?”

“The sky…. This can’t be….”

“I asked which legion you belong to.”

Leo’s eyes looking down at Ingel instantly turned gray.

Ingel’s face was instantly colored with terror.

An indescribable sense of oppression was felt.

Unable to resist the fear, Ingel answered while chattering his teeth.

“I, I am…. Mabeast…. Queen…. Silatuna…. sama’s…. legion.”

‘Now I understand. This isn’t a demon from the current era.’

Thud-!

After hearing the answer, Leo crushed Ingel’s head without hesitation.

‘It’s a demon from the Age of Calamity.’
