I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 121: Irregular License Exam (8)

The moment that they saw these elite sahuagins and lizardman coming over, they stopped arguing.

Even if they were confident in their abilities, they could feel the pressure that was coming from the lizardman.

They knew that if they kept arguing like this, it would be impossible for them to fight against these monsters.

So they immediately stopped talking and pulled out their weapons again.

The young man with the large sword stepped forward to face them while the other two took his flanks.

They clearly knew what positions to take even though it seemed like they didn't get along.

The lizardman surprisingly had a cautious character, so it didn't come forward right away. Instead, with a screech, it sent the elite sahuagins forward to test these three first.

The elite sahuagins outnumbered these humans, but they also didn't rush them and warily approached them.

It seemed that these monsters had the same personality as the boss.

They spread out a bit and slowly surrounded the humans, but they didn't move forward any further after they came within ten meters. They just maintained this distance as if they were wary that the humans would do something.

The three humans also didn't do anything as they waited to see what these sahuagins would do.

A stalemate suddenly appeared.

But that stalemate didn't last long as the sahuagins suddenly dipped the head of their tridents into the water at their feet.

The three humans could feel magic gathering around the sahuagins. Even if they didn't know exactly what the sahuagins were doing, they raised their guard so that they could react at any second.

After a few seconds of gathering their magic, the sahuagins suddenly flicked their tridents up at the humans.

As they did, the water that had been at their feet suddenly came up with the flick of the trident. This water didn't just go forward a bit and splash back down, instead this water took the form of many needles as they shot out at the humans.

When the humans saw this, all three of them knitted their brows.

The young man with the large sword raised that sword in front of him so that the flat of the blade was facing these needles.

Then with a roar, energy spilled out from that sword to create a barrier in front of him.

That barrier blocked all of the water needles that had been shot out at them.

When the last one was blocked by the barrier, that young man shouted, "Now!"

This-is-a-MVLeMpYr-special

The two at his flank immediately reacted when he shouted out and they both raised their weapons to attack.

The young man with the small sword stabbed out and there was a gust of wind that appeared around him before disappearing.

The girl raised her staff and gathered pure mana around herself before shooting them out as magic missiles.

One of the sahuagins was suddenly hit by something sharp in the shoulder and purple blood splashed out.

The rest of them immediately raised their tridents and there was a barrier of water that appeared in front of them, blocking the magic missiles…or at least that was what should have happened.

Instead, the magic missiles suddenly started to spin and with the penetrative force this spin brought, they pierced through the water wall and stabbed into the sahuagins.

The wall did block the magic missiles to a certain extent, so these sahuagins weren't as injured as the one who had been stabbed first. They were hit in different places by the magic missiles, but only a bit of blood came out.

The first sahuagin hit had been pierced deep, but the rest had only suffered surface injuries.

As I watched all of this, I couldn't help being a bit impressed by these three.

At the same time, I couldn't help analyzing what their power was.

For the young man with the large sword.

"He has some kind of barrier ability…But does it need that sword to activate or is it freely controlled?"

For the young man with the small sword.

"He controls wind, but it's weaker than Hayato…When he attacked, he used a stab to concentrate his wind powers so that it would have greater power."

And for the girl with the staff.

"It seems like she's some kind of magician, but she lacks mana. The magic missiles that she gathered made up for it by being concentrated and using spin to penetrate."

They had creative ways of making up for their flaws, but…

It was just too bad that they ran into me.

They had stolen my prey, so of course I would make them suffer.

But for now, I would keep watching and waiting for my chance to strike.

These three were without a doubt powerful, but there was still a major flaw with their group.

They had no cooperation at all.

They were able to push back the sahuagins at first with their surprise attack, but once the sahuagins knew what they were capable of, they didn't fall for their tricks anymore.

Not to mention, after that first clash, the young man with the large sword charged forward, leaving the two behind him open.

He had wanted to charge forward to draw in the sahuagins to make it easier for the other two to attack, but the sahuagins didn't fall for this and moved out of his range.

Then as he followed them, he was lured away from the other two.

Three sahuagins were all that it took to pin him down with water needles while the other two targeted the two humans. One each for each human, shooting out water needles to pin them down.

The two attackers had no choice but to use their abilities to protect themselves instead of helping the young man with the large sword who was also pinned down.

Just like this, the advantage had gone back to the monsters.

It seemed that even without my interference, these three would be taken out soon.

The young man with the large sword also recognized this, so he lost his temper.

"That's it! I'm going all out!"

With that, he threw away his large sword and a burst of energy came from him.
