The Author's POV

Chapter 635

Bang—!

Sparks flew through the air as Hein easily deflected the demon's attack with his shield. He then brought the shield near his shoulder and smashed his body against the demon, sending it tumbling toward the ground.

"Haaa!"

[Iron lance]

After delivering the initial blow, he followed it up by penetrating the demon with his extended hand, which had a thin gray hue extending forward in the form of a pointy spear.

Spurt—!

Black blood spilled all over Hein's body in the process, dying his clothes and shield a black color.

His hand continued to penetrate deeply into the demon's body until finally coming to a stop when he felt something hard.

Exerting a little more force, a glass shattering sound echoed.

Crash—!

'Thank god I'm no longer in my old phase.'

His mouth twitched when he saw the state his shield was in. It was completely dyed in black.

Had it been the past him, he would've immediately freaked out at the thought of his shield getting dirty, but it no longer bothered him as much. It still did...but just not as much as it did in the past.

"Haaa...haaa.."

'This is tiring.'

Hein's breathing was rough.

He had slain so many demons that he had lost count, and as he lifted his head to look ahead, he groaned audibly.

"Just how many are there?"

...The number seemed endless.

"Hein, pay attention!"

He was suddenly startled by the sudden sound of Leopold's voice coming from behind him.

Suddenly, an energy blast shot past his cheek and exploded a couple of meters in front of him where a demon was standing.

Boom—!

Hein turned to look back.

"Thanks."

"Don't lose focus in the middle of battle."

Ava approached him from behind. She was currently sitting on a large gray wolf.

The wolf was about double Hein's height, towering over most of the orcs on the battlefield. There was also an intimidating presence exuding from its body, alerting the many demons around them.

Seeing her approaching, Hein instinctively slammed his shield towards his right side, resulting in the instantaneous death of a demon that tried to sneak up on him.

"Alright, alright."

Hein nodded his head dismissively.

A few seconds later, he stepped on the dead demon's body, destroying its core directly.

"I was just thinking about how long we'll have to fight. From the looks of things, we'll still be fighting demons for a long time."

"You're not wrong."

as he finished speaking, the ground began violently shaking, and Hein could hear the agonized cries of the demons off in the distance. When he turned his head to look at what was going on, he was astounded to see the orc chief slashing his axe through more than
