chapter 25

Merlin abruptly drew his sword extremely fast!

He swung his sword vertically and slashed at the sea…

As if a roaring ferocious beast tearing dried weeds apart…

The monstrous wave dissipated instantly. An unstoppable, invisible ray of sword auror, which resembled a ray of light, cut everything in its was in two!

As if it lost its soul, the swaggering plesion stiffened instantly.

At this moment —

The wind stopped blowing and the rain stopped falling.

Even the waves no longer billowed.

Everything gravitated towards quiet.

Only the bleak sound of the sword being waved could be heard.

Alice is thoroughly dumbfounded. Although she doesn’t know what happened, but she felt like the battle was over the moment Merlin drew his sword. It seems like the battle was settled with a single strike.

Some doubt welled up in her heart — why would an ordinary quick draw skill be so powerful? That’s simply outrageous.

Alice shifted her gaze to the magic sword in Merlin’s hand. The sword’s blade is all rusty and full of gaps and notches.

Such a worn out sword is undeserving of the name magic sword. How did it slay the enemy with one blow? It’s hard to wrap your head around it!

Did Merlin speak the truth, was he really born this strong?

Merlin shook the sword and sheathed it, making a sharp “shwing” sound.

Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, as if the cog of time started turning again.

Alice couldn’t open her eyes due to the billowing wind and sea.

The rumbling sea was surprisingly cut into two, as if Moses himself had parted it.

The Saint tier plesion is dead, cut in two alike mud. Its viscera, bones and flesh reveal a neat cut. The two sides of its body separated, stained the water red, and sank slowly.

The dark clouds retreated and revealed a clear blue sky, and gold rays shot down.

Alice, whose face solidified with stupefaction, thought in aghast — the battle ended with a single strike? That was the overlord of the Strait of Orkney, how come it turned into tofu in front of Merlin? Could it be that it ate too much canned herring, which resulted in food poisoning?

Merlin stretched himself and looked at the plesion corpse that slowly sank into the deep sea, causing the water to splash and bubble.

He couldn’t help but feel excited — to meet a Saint tier fellow and replenish life force right after going out, what a pleasant surprise.

After slaying two Saint tier entities in one day, he felt that he could be at ease for a while.

Merlin felt more and more that he made the right choice by leaving the Demon Palace. In the outside world, which is full of adventures and various enemies, his chances of lifting the curse are quite high.

“What kind of snake is it? Spitting before a fight, how dirty. Guess it hadn’t been spanked before. In our world, it should be possible to make wine from it…”

Alice didn’t hear him at all. Her mind is only preoccupied with — why is this bug [1] Merlin so strong? That tyrannical quick draw skill has no cooling, can it be used indefinitely? She can’t believe that he is not the son of the Goddess of Light.

“Alice…”

“Alice?!”

“Huh!?”

After Merlin called her twice, Alice finally snapped out of her bewilderment.

“What huh? Start rowing! If you dare to complain, then I’ll just throw you into the sea to feed the sharks, he-he-he~”

Threatened by Merlin, Alice hads no choice but to row obediently, a dazed look in her eyes.

The storm stopped, and the sky became clear and blue. The sky and sea are now of the same color.

A flock of seagulls swept past the sea, and their talons pierced the calm sea and raised ripples.

The Dead Marshes that imprisoned Merlin for a dozen plus years finally disappeared.

The world’s most terrifying, the First Demon Palace’s mighty Demon Lord left his hometown for the first time in his life and set out for Middle-earth ruled by humans.

With the goal of lifting his curse, he is going to challenge the experts of the continent.

The rural drama, Temptations of the Big City, quietly kicked off.

While supervising the oarsman Alice, Merlin standing on the boat’s bow enjoyed the sea breeze.

Alice cursed Merlin countless times in her heart — just drown in the sea!

Merlin placed his hand on his forehead and looked out into the blue expanse.

“Hurry up, you useless washboard Hero.”

“Our goal is to reach the land of Great Britain!”

The exasperated Alice really wanted to throw the oars into the sea and go on strike.

But then she thought — won’t I be trapped at sea if I do that?

Thereupon, Alice’s face flushed, and she grumbled angrily —

“I got it!”

“You lustful Demon Lord.”

“No need for you to order me around!”
