The Author's POV

"Go ahead."

I averted my eyes from the Prince-ranked demon and took a few steps to the side.

"He's all yours."

When I saw Brutus swallow his pride and ask me for a chance to fight, despite the fact that I wanted to participate in the action, I decided to take a step back instead.

Because of the nature of our partnership, I didn't want to put unnecessary strain on our alliance over something like this.

In addition, I was aware that orcs had their own sense of pride, and I imagined that he must still be resentful toward the Prince for what he had done just a few moments earlier when he had ambushed him.

They were very proud of their power and had a deep-seated hatred for those who plotted or engaged in underhanded practices.

"Cough."

I suddenly felt like coughing.

Not sure why…

"Thank you."

Brutus gave me a single nod of his head, and then quickly turned his attention back to Prince Kuzma who was standing above us.

Cra…Crack―!

His calf muscles contracted, as did the muscles on his upper body, and like a bullet, his figure shot through the air and materialized next to the Prince ranked demon.

Swooosh!

A whistling sound swept through the air, and a pressurized wind force swept through the area beneath.

My clothes flapped, and my hair became a mess.

Booom―!

His fist came hurtling toward Prince Kuzma, who had long since forgotten his presence, and the two of them began to clash in the air above me.

'I don't think there will be any problems from here on out.'

Seeing how the situation was, I turned my gaze away from them and shifted my attention toward the dozen or so demons that were surrounding me.

I smiled at them.

"Hi, I-"

"Attack him together!"

Swoosh! Swoosh!

I didn't even get a chance to finish my sentence before they all pounced on me together. My brows furrowed, and time slowed down at that moment.

'One, two, three… twelve?'

I made a mental tally of each and every one of the demons that were coming closer to me. They all seemed to be in the Duke rank―although some of them were on the weaker side―and they were all reaching out with their claws for me.

Even so, they were not a threat in my eyes, as their figures moved at a snail's pace within my vision.

Suddenly, a thought popped into my head, and as I continued to look at them, I scrunched up my eyes.
