After the two frenzied demons fell, no other demon dared to challenge Helkry.
It was only natural.
No matter how belligerent the demons were, they knew that they needed to preserve their own lives to fulfill their desires.
Had they not had the restraint to temper their desires even in the face of overwhelming power, they would not have been bound under the command of the mighty Demon King.
I was certain no one would dare cross him now.
"Excuse me, Chief, I have something to say..."
Bang!!
The mace swung reflexively at the sound of the voice.
Though the mace hit the demon's head just like the others before, the impact did not even seem to unbalance the demon.
"...What is it, Sloth?"
He withstood it.
Without any guard, Sloth withstood the blow that had overpowered the entire army and killed two demons.
"I was asleep until just now, so I'm not sure what's going on..."
His voice was lethargic, even as the mace remained lodged in his head.
Yet his face showed not a hint of pain.
"Seeing the situation, it seems like it will take a while. Is it alright if I go take a nap?"
Even though his thick, sturdy skin was cracked by the impact, he seemed indifferent to it all.
"Sloth..."
Soon, Helkry called his name.
"I've told you since I took over the command of your troop that rest comes after the mission. No matter how tedious, there are no exceptions in between."
"Hmm, so if I finish things quickly, I can go rest?"
"...Are you going to step in?"
"To be honest, I don't care much for the honor the Chief speaks of..."
Thud.
Fragments poured down as the mace dropped from his head.
As he stroked the exposed flesh, he turned to me and continued.
"If it means I can rest sooner, I'll do whatever it takes."
Smoothly, his skin regenerated, and his gaze fixed firmly.
At that moment, I had an intuition.
The hulk of a creature, who could withstand the blows of monsters that even heroes couldn't handle, was indeed my destined adversary.
"Human Woo Hyo-sung. Your opponent has been decided."
Whooong.
As I turned around, a mace plunged vertically into the ground.
When he, who had just been standing quietly, gave me a hint, I realized its meaning and started to move to an appropriate position.
I went to where the adventurers like me were gathered, below the clearing beneath the cliff.
"Listen, everyone! From now on, this place will be under my control!!"
Similarly, when the demon called Sloth stood in front of the silent demon army, Helkry soon shouted.
"There shall be no fleeing or intruding until there is an invasion from the outside. Anyone who violates this during the duel will be executed by me."
No one raised an objection to his words.
