Bam!

The sound of his chest and ribs being split apart resounded in his ears, and he felt an excruciating pain.

"Keuh!"

The Green War Demon coughed up blood and grabbed his chest with his remaining hand.

"You bastard. How did you even..."

"Just like you figured out my swordsmanship, I also analyzed your attacking method."

"...Do you expect me to believe that..."

"Why not? If you can do it, then I can do it as well."

He gulped.

The faint smell of danger was getting stronger. He had a talent that he had never seen before, despite having witnessed countless talented people. He had a premonition that he was going to become Eden's strongest enemy if he was left alone.

'At any cost...'

He needed to kill him.

Whir!

He surrounded his axe by burning up his remaining combative energy and vitality. The double-edged axe's blade was burning intensely, engulfed in flames.

"Grrrrr!"

The moment he was about to strike in order to get rid of the boy named Raon and the other Ziegharts behind him,

Crack.

His eyes started burning in a crimson color.

Whir!

The moment he murmured 'The Ten Flames of the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation', the small flame burning at the tip of his blade spread to the edge and ten flowers of flame blossomed.

"Ah..."

His chest tightened as he saw the flames. The injury on his chest, which he'd stopped from bleeding, burst open once more.

The boy pointed his burning sword at him, his eyes shining like a demon.

"Consider yourself lucky to become the first victim of the 'Ten Flames'."

Whir!

Raon's eyes shone, watching the flame surrounding his entire sword.

'It was a success.'

He thought it was still impossible for him, but he managed to complete the 'Ten Flames' thanks to the enlightenment he'd had during the battle.

Whir!

Overflowing power, strong enough to cut the Green War Demon apart in his unscathed state, burst from the sword.

"Keuh..."

The Green War Demon's astonishment could be seen through his helmet.

"Wh-what the hell are you?! How can you be so strong at this age..."

It looked like his astonishment had surpassed the orc fighter's instinct, since his voice had returned to a human's.

"That's not the important part right now."

Raon took a step forward, spinning his flaming sword.

"Come at me."

"Haa..."

White steam billowed from his helmet. He started gathering all his remaining energy on his right arm.

Thud!
