Chapter 166.2
“–[Stone Bullet]–!”
“–[Dark Mist]–“
The moment I run up to the top floor, the waiting Dark Elf and my magic are activated simultaneously.
Magic could set a target by just being aware of what was happening, but it wasn’t a guaranteed hit. With a split-second glance, I released [Stone Bullet], which pierced through the darkness, and with the momentum of my rush, I leapt up to the ceiling and kicked the face of the man who opened his eyes in astonishment as I kicked the ceiling and aimed at his face with my heel with a blade.
Even at Rank 3, it would have been dangerous if they had used a ranged attack such as [Water ball], but the weakness of mind of being fixated in using a powerful attack rather than low-power magic resulted in deciding the winner.

Jesha and the others were probably lost… after all, the Demon Army was already this close to the town. It could be that they have been defeated and survived, but given the nature of Jesha and Zilgan, they would fight to the death, or if they did live, they would probably not get away unharmed.
Still, the fact that the number of monsters was not very visible was probably the result of the adventurers thinning them out. However, the fate of this town was almost decided when the adventurers of the Hoglos Trading Company were defeated.
Visually, the Demon Army numbered about 2,000. The true value of the Demon Army was not in its numbers but in its quality.
Soldiers of human nations ranged from 1 to 2 in rank, and skilled soldiers and knights were around Rank 3.
However, there were no weak soldiers in the Demon Army. Most of them were warriors and sorcerers of Rank 2 or above, and their high fighting spirit made them feared like monsters by the humans.
