"L-legendary...??!"

The Lion-Headed Demon felt conflicted internally. Sweat appeared on his face, and saliva began forming in his throat.

As his eyes captured the mere human physique, he convinced himself not to think too low of the being before him.

'I've never heard of a Legendary Dragon Slayer before, but...'

The Mid-Demon's eyes narrowed on the human and found himself in a torrent of emotions.

'What should I do?'

There were two major options. He could either test the waters and attack the being before him, or he could make a tactical retreat to inform his other allies.

'He must be here to decimate the Demon Army. If this being could do this to mine, I'm certain he could do it to the others...'

The Mid-Demon was walking on shaky ground, so he had to be careful. The most effective solution was the only path he had to take.

'But... how exactly am I supposed to take action?'

The Legendary Dragon Slayer didn't seem to desire combat, yet his presence invoked some degree of intimidation. He didn't understand it.

"My name is Hogun. I admit you are a formidable human. So..." The Mid-Demon strained a smile as he took a battle stance.

Crouching a little, while releasing the dense Miasma within his body, he prepared for battle.

"You... really want to fight me?" The Legendary Dragon Slayer's tone reverberated in the Mid-Demon's ears.

It sounded condescending—almost as if the human actually pitied him. The statement was enough to crush whatever little pride he harbored.

"Y-yeah..." Hogun, the Demon General growled.

'I would have preferred a tactical retreat, but there's no way he would let me go. Besides, if he's going to attack the other batch of soldiers next, then I just do my best to learn his abilities and weaken him a little...'

Hogun wasn't so brazen to expect total victory, but... he wanted to achieve the best he could.

"You'll die, you know?" The Legendary Dragon Slayer narrowed his eyes while staring calmly.

His eyes were devoid of any emotion at this point. It was just dead-on—absolutely cold! Hogun knew that if he went forward with this fight, the human would most likely kill him. Still... how could he give up?!

"E-even if I die... I will gladly give my life for the cause!"

For a moment, there was stale silence. Afterward, the stale air rose to a terrifying degree. Both sides—good and evil—stared at each other.

"Hehe... hahahaha... hahahahahahaha!" A burst of laughter ruined the sacred moment of quiet, as though it was the calm before the storm.

'He's laughing? Am I that amusing to him? Is the gap between our power that wide?' Hogun's thoughts rang.

He knew there were many people more powerful than he was—Upper Class Demons and Ancient Dragons.

Even though he was Max Level as a Mid-Demon, he was not so conceited as to believe he possessed absolute strength. But—

'Is he that much stronger than me?!'

—Hogun was now even more nervous at this point.

"For a Demon, you amuse me. Very well... I shall let you live so you can entertain me some other time."

"W-wha—?!" Hogun's eyes bulged in shock.

Was the enemy—a human—sparing his life? Wouldn't the natural course of action be to annihilate the Demon that threatened and oppressed humanity?

'He sees me as entertainment? This man...' Hogun felt stuck in his position, not knowing what to do, or what not to do.

"Do not think of it as cowardly. You never had a choice, to begin with. I'll spare your life now, so entertain me more next time."

Before Hogun realized it, the human had turned his back on the Demon and was now leaving.

His steps were slow and heavy, but they contained such finesse that the Mid-Demon felt mesmerized by them for a moment. However—

"W-wait! Do you really think I'll let you go like that? You invaded our camp, killed my subordinates, and threatened me. Did you really expect to go like that?!"

Hogun's roar was loud. The air vibrated as his frustrated voice lifted to the heavens.

>VWUUUUUUMMMMMM!!!<

More Miasma climbed from his body, displaying the power worthy of a Demon General.

The blackish-red energy caused the air to undulate, and a great evil pressure permeated the environs.

Through all this, the human did not pause for a moment. He just kept walking gently.

It was like Hogun's words meant nothing to him. The power he released was too weak to be noticed.

As Hogun saw the human's defenseless back, he realized just how seemingly vulnerable the opponent looked at the moment. But, he wasn't so foolish as to believe that.

'A-am I so weak...? He... he's ignoring me?' Hogun had not felt so useless in his entire life.

The man ahead did not pay him anymore attention and just walked off, leaving the despondent Demon General falling to his knees.

It was his absolute defeat.

"I'm... so weak..."

It was clear from the beginning. While he didn't know how and why the human was so strong, the truth had been shoved on his face.

"If someone like him is leading the humans... then..."

Hogun couldn't help but shiver at the prospect. There was no way their army—despite being large—could handle an absurdly strong being like that.

'At this point, won't we have to take action as well?'

It was the only alternative.

"Still, we have to talk to the Lord first." Hogun stood to his feet and decided to use his head rather than remain in despair forever.

He turned to see the human, but there was no longer any sign of him. Other than the trail of carnage he left behind—as well as the large crater—it was as though he had never showed up.

Somehow, it made Hogun wonder.

'How would a fight between him and the Lord go?'

For a moment, he ruminated on the thought, but it didn't take him very long to dismiss it. Perhaps it was just his defeated mind that needed rest.

'No one here can best the Lord...' A smile formed on Hogun's face.

It wasn't due to needless pride or an inflated ego. No, it was simple facts.

'He's a member of the Demon King's Inner Circle, after all...'

With that in mind, Hogun set out to do the needful.
