Overgeared

An ordinary person wouldn't know about Keen Insight. Even though Mercedes' blue eyes sometimes shone transparently, they just thought it was beautiful rather than giving a special meaning to it. They thought of it as an optical illusion that changed depending on the angle of light. This was why they didn't understand it.

A forest of sword energy in a narrow and long tunnel—shadow soldiers soared from the shaded space of the forest. A metal cloth that fluttered in a dizzying manner and narrowed the field of view and space. A noble sword dance that was as invisible as a demon's dance and the arrows that were shot silently.

They couldn't understand Mercedes' ability to avoid and counterattack all the techniques that symbolized the legends of humanity.

It was natural. Her evasive movement was like a flowing stream. She didn't use Shunpo, so it wasn't fast. Hayate's movements when fighting the dragon a little while ago were perceived as flashing lights, while her movements could be vaguely read in people's eyes.

Nevertheless, not a single attack reached her body. It was an incomprehensible realm. It seemed like she was something beyond a legend. People dared to question if she had become a protagonist of a myth like Grid or Braham, or had reached the realm of the Absolutes.

Surprisingly, it was the same for the demons.

""What type of trick is this…?""

The red moon that was projected not only to the sky of hell, but also the sky of the surface—its body that was covered with countless eyes was sleeping here underground. If the river of reincarnation was a place associated with the essence of hell, then this was a place that contained the secrets of the corrupted hell. It meant that it was more important than the river of reincarnation for Baal.

It was the reason why the old demons were placed as gatekeepers. They had been living since close to the beginning and they were very powerful. It was to the extent that they gained Baal's trust, so they were asked to guard this place. In return, fragments of souls had been transplanted to them.

As the years passed, they became stronger and those who could be their enemies were rare. However, there was only one human being active. She was an existence who made the weight of the years accumulated by the seven demons become worthless. A woman with no wrinkles on her face read and blocked the thousands of years of experience and wisdom contained in each movement of the old monsters. She looked like a monster even in the eyes of these old monsters.

""It is a human, right…? Recite the genealogy of your bloodline.""

""I'm curious about the depth of the lineage.""

She wasn't an ordinary human. There was no way her lineage could've originated from the surface. She was most likely related to hell or heaven.

Mercedes asked the speculating demons, "Do demons know about genealogy?"

However, it was difficult for her to show a distinct strength against an opponent in a higher basic weight class than her. In the first place, having a good balance only acted as a strength when overwhelming a weaker opponent. In order to defeat an enemy stronger than herself, she had to abandon her balance and deal

All her stats were equal and there was none that was extraordinary. This was why she couldn't win against the old demons.
