The old woman saw Yuma dashing toward her and raised her head. With a hoarse voice, she asked, “My husband… do you see my husband? My child and I have been looking for him.”

  Yuma ighe woman’s shout and sshed his sword toward her.

  Although his attack is slightly weaker than normal because he unsciously restrained himself upon attag someohat looked like a human. But, he has seen what the creatures that have turned into demons could do. Eveamest rabbit will turn ferocious after turning into a demon. So, he still sshed the sword to the best of his capabilities.

  Seeing Yuma ign her, the woman rampaged and cwed at him to knock the sword away. “Why wouldn’t aell me where my husband is!”

  Yuma saw her attad ged the dire of his sword to evade the bsp;

  Seeing the sword had evaded her attack, the woman jumped backward to evade it. While jumping, she spat toward Yuma, who evaded it out of disgust.

  While adjusting his body to evade the woman’s spit, he summoned fme that enveloped his sword. The fmes increased the range of Yuma’s ssh and he successfully ihe woman.

  Although she didn’t get heavily ihe attack still left a mark ohere is now a diagonal burn mark on her body that extends from the stump of her left arm tht waist.

  After retreating, the woman realized she had left the small skeleton and the left arm Yuma had cut off. “Return my son to me!”

  Yuma heard it and stood between the woman and that skeleton. He also prepared for the woman’s attack by enveloping his sword with fmes.

  From his peripheral view, he saw the woman’s saliva had dropped oy’s road and caused smoke to e out of it. ‘I guess I o evade her body fluids, too.’

  While fog his sight on the woman that could attaytime, Yuma felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

  He gnced down and saw the small skeleton had somehow moved and pierced its small finger booward his right ankle. ‘What? It move on its own?!’

  Luckily, uhe woman’s, the skeleton’s finger doesn’t tain any poison.

  While holding the pain from his ankle, Yuma felt a sense of danger and jumped to the right. When he is distracted by the skeleton, the woman has attacked his previous location with a downward cw attack.

  Seeing Yuma stopped being in the way. That icked the skeleton, who moved on its own and g to her shoulder.

  Yuma limped away while switg his attentioween his injured ankle and the woman. After grabbing the skeleton. That woman once again focused on Yuma and ran toward him.

  Venea, who saw it, ahe surrounding soldiers to hold the woman while helping Yuma to retreat. The atta his ankle has greatly decreased Yuma’s bat power. Making him uo pce much strength in his right ankle.

  Ihe Divine Space, Cedric saw the battle a anxious. He switched his focus to Lacius’s group and saw they had separated into two groups.

  Half of them are left to guard their ration. While the remaining half, led by Lacius, has rode their horses to rush toward River Stoy.

  After leaving their burdeions, the group led by Lacius is now already extremely close to the city. Based on their speed, they should’ve arrived in around ten minutes.

  “Damn it. I’ll spend another 10 GP for [Sealing Stone]! It’s better to waste this GP rather than having Yuma actally killed or lose his bat power at su important time.”

  After purchasing the [Sealing Stone], Cedrit it toward city lord Venea, who instantly knew what to do.

  He told the surrounding soldier to retreat and sealed that woman with the [Sealing Stone].

  While tending to Yuma’s wound, the army led by Lacius has arrived.

  Luckily, among them, there is granny Maude and a young woman who also has healing power.

  Both of them went toward Yuma and healed the wound on his body and ankle. Although the recovery was quite slow, it still worked heless.

  Under Lacius’s and, the remaining soldiers surrouhe seal and prepared their attack.

  Once Yuma’s wound had healed, he went towards the sealed woman and once again attacked it with his full power. This time, there are also the attacks from several other blessed that apanied his attack.

  Just like before, Yuma felt a repelling force from the sword in his hand after it shattered the seal. Although the fme in his sword still easily sshed toward the woman. He saw the attack from other blessed had been repelled by that ford dispersed.

  Because Yuma is slightly distracted. The woman who has just exited her seal found enough time to evade the fme he sshed. She still sustained some injuries. But it’s not enough to affect her.

  After retreating backward while sshing at the soldier in the way with her cw, the woman stared at her surroundings before her eyes focused on Lacius.

  “He found us! He found us! He has found us!!!” She somehow got agitated and screamed many inprehensible words. “My king, HELP MEEE!!!”

  Then, he madly ran toward Lacius while swinging her cws around.

  Even Yuma’s attack isn’t enough to stop that woman iracks. She merely parried his attack with her d tio run toward Lacius.

  While g and killing every soldier that tried to stop her, she screamed with a shrill voice. “Ahhh! Die! Die! Die!.

  Yuma could see the tears falling from the woman’s eyes.”Return me my son Liam! Give me back my Gratian!!!"

  Yuma has ion upon hearing the woman’s words.

  But Cedric who stayed in the Divine Space felt quite shocked as he finally guessed the woman’s identity. ‘Is she one of Gratian’s wives? But haven’t all of them been killed by Lacius?’

  Watg the woman madly rushing toward Lacius. Cedric felt it’s the karma Lacius had sown when he sughtered Gratian’s family. If not for the birth of the demon king that’s akin to the sword of damocles above his head. Cedric would’ve left Lacius to hahis karma on his own.

  But, He doesn’t want any more unknown variables before the demon king’s battle. Coupled by the fact that woman’s power has surpassed his expectation. Cedric decided to and Yuma to activate one of the Fire Ssh stored in the [Fire Sword].

  “Anyway, it’s better to test how powerful the Fire Ssh is now. So tle against the demon king more thhly.” He sent a message and remind Yuma to use his Fire Ssh.

  [Find a way to separate that woman from the surrounding people and use the Fire Ssh stored in your sword!]

  Yuma found a message from Cedrid grumbled. “But I don’t have any way to separate her.”

  Then he looked at the woman who had been targeting Lacius as aruck him.

  He ran toward a deserted pce without many soldiers and shouted toward Lacius.

  “Lacius, use your earth wall to send that woman here!” Then, he shouted at the surrounding. “Everyone, hurry away from my surroundings!”

  Lacius heard Yuma’s shout aed a massive but thih wall between him and the woman. Then, he pushed the wall toward that woman at incredible speed. After doing so, he immediately fell to the floor in exhaustion while pressing his ag head.

  Fitting to be an attack that caused Lacius to immediately fell into exhaustion. The moment that earth wall collided with the woman, the earth wall immediately cracked ahe woman flying, just like she had been hit by a truck.

  She flew in a parabolic shape toward the deserted pce Yuma had run into.

  When Yuma first reached level 2, Cedric has asked the System how to activate the Fire Ssh and taught it to Yuma for emergencies.

  So, Yuma followed what Cedric has taught him and imbued his power into the sword while thinking of activating the Fire Ssh.

  Aremely tyrannical fme appears from his sword and enveloped it. Even Yuma, who has gained some resistao heat, feels the fme ing from that sword to be unbearable.

  Which makes him quickly swing the sword toward that woman.

  The moment the sword touched that woman. The fme that has enveloped the sword exploded. Luckily, the sword seems to have been desigo not release any fme on the side of the hilt. Otherwise, Yuma would’ve turned into crisps.

  Ohe fme subsided, Yuma looked at the woman’s location and only found a vague outline of a human. She has been thhly buro the point most of her body has been carbonized.

  In Divine Space, Cedric saw the Fire Ssh has successfully killed the NE ied woman. Yuma’s level that has been stu the lower level 2 during the past months has finally advao mid level 2.

  With the death of that woman. Cedric slightly rexed a curious how she could survive Lacius’s genocide and arrive at River Stoy.

  Activating his Past Observation, Cedric saw the se from the past. To be exact, the day when Lacius began killing every single one of Gratian’s family members.

  He found the woman has actually hid herself in a half pleted escape road dug in the pace.

  Cedric failed to see her because his usage of mental power at that time is only rudimentary at best. The way he saw things in the Crystal Cube world is simir to a 2D game without x-ray like funs. So, if there are hidden things, he won’t be able to see them.

  The woman hid in that passage for two whole days until the situation calmed down.

  By the time she exited the passage auro the pace. She has bee pale and thio g nutrients. The first thing she looked for was her son, who failed to ehe secret passage together with her.

  After occasionally stealing food from the pace that has been filled with unfamiliar people. She tinuously searched for the corpse of her son until she finally found him.

  Cedric felt it was around this time the woman had gone crazy. She is unwilling to accept everything and somehow leaves the pace to look fratian with her dead son.

  Thanks to the road between cities that has been ed of most dangerous beasts, coupled with a little luck. That woman somehow followed the clues and arrived at River Stoy and looked for any trace of Gratian. She traveled the road day and night while visiting many houses.

  Finally, she found a clue from a person aoward the battlefield between Lacius and Gratian where she got ied by ive Energy auro River Stoy when she failed to find Gratian anywhere.

  Cedric paused it as he felt he couldn’t tio watch her struggle.

  Although Lacius is the one who started the genocide against Gratian’s family. Cedric felt his inpetence was also at fault. If only he sent a warning to Lacius, he is sure Lacius won’t dare to do such a thing.

  Cedric felt his heart turn heavy and tried to switch his attention towards something else.

  He chose to focus on the explosion like attack caused by the Fire Ssh a it was incredibly powerful. Its power should be equal to the explosion caused by a kilogram of TNT.

  It’s not like he has tried to explode a kilo of TNT in his past life. But Cedric recalls seeing a video of one.

  Wait a moment!

  Cedric realized something and asked the System. “Hey, is it possible for me to send explosives to the Crystal cube world? After all, Yuma could be teleported with the item he held.”

  [It’s indeed possible.]

  “Then, ’t I simply pnt many bombs around the pce where the demon king will be born and kill it with explosives?”

  The System paused for a long time before replying.

  [Acc to the database, as long as the demon king in your world isn’t in the shape of spirit, souls, or cept, it should be possible? Maybe? But the amount of explosive required will be quite massive. After all, the demon king will receive a buff from the surroundiive Energy.]

  [The System has never heard of this kind of pn. After all, a demon king appearing in a small level 1 world is aremely rare sight. It probably only happens in the universe once every a trillion years. Usually, demon kings only began to appear in level 2 or level 3 world. At that time, most of the demon kings would already have a certain level of immunity against pure physical attack.]

  Cedric asked another question. “Using explosives isn’t limited by level like Diviems right?”

  [No.]

  Cedric became tempted to visit Earth and buy some explosives. But he realized he didn’t know where to buy them oh.

  Furthermore, after the demon king’s birth got advanced by a year due to the increase iive Energy, the Demon King should be born in just a few months. verted to Earth’s iime dition, it is only less than a day, probably only equal to a few hours.

  He doubted he could find any explosive within such a short time.
