Being a blood demon in Terra? I have it in my lifetime!

Ascalon and Manfred looked at each other, then began to select from the vast arsenal of weapons.

Manfred chose a sharp long sword. Although it was not suitable for his current body size, the child was strong and could still wield the sword issued to adult soldiers.

Ascalon was holding two sharp daggers. These short and powerful weapons made it easier for her to fight the enemy in close combat.

From then on, the gears of fate began to turn.

"Elbow, let's go to the backyard and do some target shooting first."

Lucifer took a sword from his own treasury and led Ascalon and Manfred to the backyard of the old house.

Although most blood demons don't need weapons in battle, and at worst they can use a staff to pretend to be a spell master, the blood demon's leveling method obviously cannot be applied to Askalon and Manfred.

Fortunately, Lucifer has always dreamed of being a berserker and a swordsman, so he has not developed any weaknesses in close combat. He is not the kind of player who will immediately take his hands off the keyboard when the enemy gets close to him.

"Before I guide you to level up, I have to first check whether your paper stats are up to par. Even if you want to be a noble mage in the future, you can't be so lame that you'll be captured by the enemy the moment someone gets close to you."

Although Lucifer's words were a bit abstract, Askalon and Manfred still understood them.

The physical fitness of the Sarkaz is generally very strong. Even the warlocks of the Sarkaz mercenaries can fight with them for a few moves when they are forced into close combat. Naturally, they cannot live up to this strength.

"Manfred, you come first and hit me directly."

"Ah I?"

Manfred pointed at himself in disbelief.

He knew that Lucifer wanted to test whether his basic skills were solid, but...fighting directly with Lucifer?

I beat Lucifer? Really?

"Don't be a coward, don't be a coward, or I'll send you back now and let Theresa find you a stable job in the civilian sector."

"...No, I'll do it."

Manfred bit his lip, took a step forward and stood in front of Lucifer, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands.

Lucifer took the knife out of its sheath with one hand and threw the sheath away.

Seeing this, Manfred took a deep breath, then picked up the sword and rushed towards Lucifer.

Although Manfred has almost no fighting experience, among his peers of the same age, Manfred's burst, speed and strength are relatively outstanding.

Manfred rushed over with all his strength, swung his sword and slashed at Lucifer.

But Lucifer simply raised his knife to bounce back Manfred's attack, and Manfred was even knocked back two steps by the rebounding force.

Lucifer didn't give Manfred much time to breathe and adjust. He raised the knife high in his right hand and then chopped it down in a simple manner.

Manfred immediately came to his senses and raised his sword to block.

Clang!

The friction between the swords produced brilliant sparks, and Manfred's blade was buzzing.

But Manfred was no better.

"Goo!"

Lucifer's seemingly light attack contained such power that Manfred fell to one knee on the ground, and his sword almost slipped out of his hand.

Seeing that Lucifer was about to raise his knife, Manfred, who was desperate to survive, did not dare to delay and dodged awkwardly to keep a distance from Lucifer.

But Lucifer did not choose to pursue the victory. He could almost feel Manfred's current level and problems.

"Ha ha..."

Manfred was breathing heavily and was sweating profusely.

After only two moves, Manfred felt that he was already somewhat exhausted.

If Lucifer were willing to catch up and finish him off, he might not even have the energy to block or escape.

"Not enough character, not enough experience."

Lucifer gave his answer.

Manfred, who had no knowledge of any skills and little experience, was easily shaken by the impact of the rebound of the attack.

His mentality was also not stable enough. When facing Lucifer, he was under tremendous pressure. Manfred subconsciously wasted a lot of his physical strength meaninglessly, causing himself to quickly become exhausted.

"It's okay, these can be corrected slowly in the future."

Lucifer spread out his hands. Although the people he came into contact with were all old guys and numerical weirdos in the Immortal Bureau, at the very least they were people like Warfarin and Ermengarde who had some mechanisms and talents.

But this does not mean that Lucifer looks down on Manfred. After all, he is just a young boy who is not even eighteen years old.

Besides, Manfred has great talent and will surely be stronger than Warfarin and Ermengarde when he grows up. Even if he is not as good as Theresis or himself, he will not be weaker than other princes.

After commenting on Manfred, Lucifer looked at Ascalon who had been silent all along.

"Next, it's you, Ascalon."

Chapter 22: Will You Win?

Without even a moment of sadness over Manfred's departure, the next person to appear was Ascalon.

When Lucifer and Manfred were fighting just now, Ascalon was carefully observing their movements.

As for Manfred, Ascalon was disdainful of him. He said his fighting power was not as good as that of an adult rock crab in the wilderness. Even with his bare hands, he could quickly kill him more than a dozen times.

But looking at Lucifer, Ascalon fell silent.

Having fought with most creatures in the wilderness, she felt that Lucifer's calm and effortless movements were full of flaws no matter how she looked at it, but she had a feeling that she could not defeat him at all.

Ascalon, who was called by Lucifer at this time, said nothing, with only one thought in his mind: Just from his standing posture, it can be seen that he is extremely strong.

'Will you win?'

Ascalon asked himself.

She was very confident in her skills, and since she couldn't afford to lose in the wilderness, she could only keep winning.

When facing Lucifer, Ascalon couldn't imagine himself winning.

But... at least he won't lose as miserably as Manfred, right?

Ascalon took a deep breath and prepared himself, then took a step forward and grasped two sharp daggers in his backhand.

No matter what, as long as she can become stronger and gain power from Lucifer, then no matter what Lucifer does to her, Askalon will not have any complaints.

Born in the wilderness, Ascalon has always followed one rule: the strong must severely humiliate the weak.

Huhuhu~

A loud breeze blew by, and Lucifer and Ascalon looked at each other but stood less than ten meters apart, just like cowboys or knights confronting each other in a movie, and they would start fighting in the next second.

'Gulu...'

Manfred stood aside, swallowing his saliva, staring at their every move.

Wow, so this is the aura of a master.

The wind seemed to stop, and Askalon also took action at this moment.

She lowered her body, bent her back, and rushed out in a flash, the dagger in her hand flashed with a cold light, heading straight for Lucifer's heart.

Ascalon learned from Theresa that the blood demon had extremely strong vitality, so every attack she made was with all her strength. If Lucifer couldn't even block this, then he was not qualified to be his teacher.

The result was not unexpected. Ascalon's fierce attack was easily resolved by Lucifer.

Askalon wanted to push away Lucifer's blade, but found that his own strength could not shake him at all, so he changed his strategy and attacked from other directions.

Relying on his agile body, Ascalon continuously launched surprise attacks on Lucifer's vital points, but was always blocked by Lucifer's moves.

Obviously, his petite body and small dagger would allow him to achieve unexpected effects in close combat, but Lucifer's reaction and speed were obviously beyond Ascalon's imagination.

Then, Lucifer struck upward and deflected Askalon's thrust again.

However, she did not lose her balance like Manfred did after being bounced back once. She stabilized her body in the blink of an eye.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but just as Ascalon adjusted his balance, Lucifer’s attack followed.

It seemed that he had calculated the opportunity when Askalon could not dodge. Lucifer's supreme basic attack that knocked Manfred down had already arrived in front of Askalon, forcing her to choose to resist.

"Well!"

Ascalon was forced to cross his daggers to block Lucifer's slashes.

Unexpectedly, Askalon was not knocked to his knees by Lucifer.

Although Askalon's hands and feet were trembling, her body was not bent by Lucifer's power, and she successfully blocked the attack.

"Omosiloi."

Lucifer raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he had seen something interesting.

It’s like you are running a max-level account and encounter a small monster in the Novice Village that you can’t kill instantly with a normal attack.

However, Lucifer did not do what the evil players did and directly used a combo of Great Dragon Spells to kill Askalon instantly.

But Ascalon seemed to still have the strength to fight back.

"Hey...!"

Just like a protagonist exploding with energy, she pushed Lucifer's blade away little by little, and then suddenly released the force and dodged the coming blade.

Ascalon dodged and threw a dagger towards Lucifer's eyes, but as expected, he deflected it with his knife.

With the help of a feint attack, she took the opportunity to catch Lucifer's backward swing, squeezed into the inner circle, and stabbed Lucifer's waist with the remaining dagger in both hands.

"You succeeded?!"

Ascalon was secretly delighted to stand out, but for a moment he forgot that Lucifer had actually been using the one holding the knife to fight against him.

呲——

Lucifer stretched out his left hand and grabbed the dagger that Ascalon was stabbing at him. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't push it away.

"Bare hands... no... two fingers?"

Ascalon's expression became more and more surprised.

She would never have thought that her all-out attack would be blocked by Lucifer with just his index finger and thumb?

Even Manfred, who was watching from the sidelines, opened his mouth in shock.
