Boom boom boom boom boom——
The sudden emergence of demonic flames flickered in the forest.
As the demonic flames dissipated, a burst of intense firelight, accompanied by a shockwave capable of destroying everything, transformed into a deafening roar that made one's heart shrink!
Rod leaped out from the smoke and dust, his disheveled black hair blown by the wind, a slight smirk on his lips.
The one-sided chase had been going on for a while.
Rod completely ignored the roars of the demon race behind him, not engaging in battle, as he continuously darted and leaped through the treetops of the forest.
The young lord was being relentlessly pursued by the ferocious demons, with no way to escape to the heavens or burrow into the earth.
——Of course, that was impossible.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!!!!!!!"
Guwal shouted frantically, raising his voice.
"Why can't my killing magic kill you!!!"
Rod skillfully twisted in mid-air, spinning the dual-bladed Zanpakuto in his hand, effortlessly deflecting the demon's attack for the umpteenth time before landing gracefully.
"Is it possible that you're just too weak?"
The battle-hardened demon was driven to extreme madness by the breach in his defenses, his twisted face filled with rage at being underestimated.
Guwal landed heavily in front of Rod, his towering figure as a demon exuding immense pressure.
"You damned human... have you finally had enough of this game of escape?"
Rod lazily twirled his Zanpakuto, standing casually.
"Yeah, at this distance, I shouldn't wake my lovely maids."
Guwal's forehead bulged with veins, his fists clenched tightly.
"What?"
"You ran away for so long just for this reason?"
Rod retorted as if it were obvious.
"My lovely maids work hard for me during the day, and after finally falling asleep at night, they get woken up by the howls of beasts. That's just too pitiful."
Guwal was so enraged he almost laughed, snorting out white hot air as he spat angrily.
"What a joke, are you underestimating me?"
Rod shot Guwal an annoyed glare instead.
"You should be the one not underestimating the work of maids!"
"Damn it...."
Guwal's blood pressure skyrocketed in anger.
He swore that in countless battles with humans, he had seen brave and fearless warriors, as well as cowardly beggars.
But he had never encountered someone like Rod, whom he simply could not communicate with or understand!
Even trying to catch his opponent's flaws with words was futile.
Because Guwal could not comprehend what this child was thinking at all.
"I say, you should let me see some new moves by now."
"What?"
"Going back and forth with just that one move, I'm getting a bit tired of it."
"You bastard.......!!!"
"Are you saying that's all you can do? Well, I've heard that demons aren't known for their brain capacity."
"I fucking......"
"Sigh, so disappointing, I thought you were a tough guy, but you're just a small fry. Better deal with you quickly and go back to sleep with my maid."
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah——"
Guwal went crazy, pounding his chest hard, then suddenly shot out a dozen magical flame rays from his fingertips, locking onto all the directions Rod could evade from.
"Damn it, you damned human."
"I am Guwal, the corrupt sage who has killed countless!"
"When fighting me, is your mind only filled with maids, maids, maids?!!!"
"Die already!!!"
Rod frantically spun his long-handled dual-bladed Zanpakuto.
"Wait, wait a minute, you actually ambushed a five-year-old child!"
"And you actually talked trash in front of a child, you have no class!"
Rod appeared quite flustered, as if trapped in a desperate situation, but that was merely an illusion.
The young lord enjoyed the intense rage unleashed by the great demon while leisurely spinning his Zanpakuto around him.
The penetrating magical attacks fired by Guwal felt as if they had hit an invisible wall of air, vanishing the moment they came into contact with the spinning Zanpakuto.
Guwal's eyes turned bloodshot, his fists clenched in frustration.
"Not again!"
Clearly a magic that could pierce through everything, yet it could not break through the strange knife in the child's hand.
"You're just relying on magical tools, you humans always play these little tricks!"
Rod, upon hearing this, felt quite pleased.
"Do you like my knife? I won't let you have it."
Guwal's face turned crimson with rage.
"You fucking....... "
Rod certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to explain his abilities to the enemy like a typical villain.
He was quite satisfied with his beloved knife.
Its compatibility perfectly matched Rod's cunning mindset.
