The Game Difficulty
Is Insane
Kasim tilted his head as he looked at the female knight blocking him.
“Even Sir Jaber couldn’t defeat her!”
“I’m fine. Just take Sir Jaber and leave quickly.”
Despite the warnings of those around her, the female knight was moving toward him.
Clearly, her plan was to buy time until she could get the middle-aged knight out of the way.
“Hey, girl. You want to fight me?”
“If I can defeat you… then we’ll win this fight.”
She wasn’t wrong.
Aside from Kasim, the Fifth Legion’s forces were struggling in battle, except for units that included high-ranking demons.
If even Kasim fell, they would be forced to retreat under the barrage of those cursed Holy Power shots.
Of course, someone like him, who had fully embodied the eighth demonic seal from long ago, would never fall.
“Let’s see.”
His gaze was not bad.
She seemed young for her talent.
But that was it.
The critical problem was that the gap between their levels was immense.
“Confident you can win?”
“…Yes. I’m getting help because my body alone is insufficient.”
“Help? Oh, that leech from above?”
Kasim snorted.
Sometimes, there were fools like her—those who charge recklessly at wolves and get skewered by their mother.
“Do you think a few subordinates will help?”
“….”
The female knight clenched her teeth, adjusted her sword at her waist, and lowered her stance.
Kasim’s brow wrinkled.
“Arrogant woman…”
“Protect Miss Tris!”
A group of knights charged after the female knight.
At the same time, a sharp beastly killing intent overlaid Kasim’s blue eyes.
With a streak of blue light, he leapt, leaving cracks on the ground.
Paaaang!
The distance between him and the female knight closed instantly, and Kasim swung his Claw with swift movement.
Ki-gi-gi-kik!
The first clash.
He tried to split her along with her sword, but the sword didn’t break.
He had overcome the overwhelming difference using only pure skill and instinct.
But that was all.
For Kasim, who had spent more than half his life fighting, it was just a minor trick.
Chaeng—Kang!
As he deflected her attack, the Claw on his left hand surged toward her.
The female knight barely blocked it, lost her balance, and rolled backward.
“You filthy demon!!”
Before he could finish her off, several holy knights who followed her charged at Kasim simultaneously.
Cha-jae-jae-jaeng—!
Three swords fell toward his head, blocked by a single Claw.
Yet the knights’ gaze did not waver; they gritted their teeth and added force to strike at Kasim.
Piiiiiing—
They intended to hold him until the Holy Power shots arrived.
“…Desperate, aren’t they!”
“?! Everyone, retreat…”
Cheng-ga-ang!
But the swords of the five-star level knights shattered instantly under the killing intent in Kasim’s eyes.
They could not even hold back the legion commander for a second—not even Jaber, a seven-star holy knight, could.
Kwaaaang—!
A Holy Power shot fired from the fortress wall exploded, but Kasim did not retreat, leaving the holy knights lying on the ground.
Being unaffected by the shots, he suffered no additional harm—but the knights were already unable to fight.
“Who do you take me for? With such a trivial trick…”
White holy mist cleared behind him as the female knight lunged.
Chang—!
“…How can prey beat the hunter?”
“Kuh…”
Kasim’s beastly blue eyes looked down on her as if mocking.
The next moment, before she could react, his foot slammed into her abdomen.
“!”
She couldn’t even make a sound, rolling across the floor.
Then, as if in revenge, dozens of Holy Power shots flew from the fortress wall—but Kasim easily avoided them.
“Miss! Retreat!”
As another knight tried to help her up,
Seok—
Kasim arrived in front of them, and the knight’s head flew off.
Before the female knight could even react, Kasim’s hand grabbed her neck.
His large hand lifted her delicate neck slowly, and her feet left the ground.
“Agh…ugh!”
“Now you understand. Hey, girl. You’re the one in charge here, right? That’s why they’re so protective of you.”
Kasim tilted his head, glancing up at the priest on the wall, and smiled slightly.
Even though the allies were unaffected by the shots, they hesitated to attack.
If they acted, Kasim’s hand could crush her neck.
“Let’s ask. Why did you crawl out onto the battlefield? So weak…”
“…Ugh…ugh!”
“I’m asking. Won’t you answer? Too scared to speak? Heh-heh…”
This was Kasim’s favorite moment.
Watching the helpless prey, feeling that he was the predator—it was more thrilling than anything.
But…
“…Look at that.”
The female knight opened her unique ash-gray eyes and stared straight at him.
Her arrogant attitude annoyed him; he narrowed his eyes.
“Not loosening your gaze, huh?”
He slowly tightened his grip on her neck.
Her face contorted, but her gaze remained sharp on him.
“That… she… always fought.”
“What?”
“Even in unreasonable situations… she found a way… she fought and won…!”
Kasim twisted his mouth in disgust and snorted.
“What nonsense. Your brain’s not getting air, so you’re talking nonsense, huh?”
