Chapter 154: The Army Merger
Following my fiery kick that broke one of the demon’s horns, the monster waved his arm and slapped me mid-air to the side.
Thankfully, I was able to block it with my forearm and landed safely with my feet against the wall, using it to push myself back at him with my dagger in hand.
The demon chuckled the first time I hurt him because he thought he would get to fight a powerful opponent, but that wasn’t the reality of his situation.
My plan was to kill the demon as fast as possible and free the beastkin, who were our real priority for going to the factory in the first place.
As I came close to him again with my dagger raised, he coated his arm with demonic energy and blocked my strike, which surprised me since my blade was made of mithril, which should have ignored any magic that made contact with it.
With no other arm to block, Gina took advantage of that brief second to appear right behind the demon and stabbed him in the back with her dagger before slicing upwards, opening a giant flesh wound on his rear.
The demon screamed in pain as he arched his body while Gina stepped back and ran to my side, facing the monster.
"Hurt by mere insects!" he exclaimed indignantly as his demonic aura grew more prominent and intimidating.
However, Gina and I stood tall against the monster without flinching.
