He couldn’t even scream.

At the beginning of the endless regression, Denarua had mocked the demons, calling them weak and stupid for being dragged along by the Hero’s party, always waiting for that massive attack.

But now, as he faced it himself, he realized just how pitiful and foolish he had been.

He hadn’t been careless. If this had been the Hero’s party from before, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.

The one difference was Lin’s participation in the battle.

If they had followed Lin’s advice earlier, their journey would have been much easier.

“Ugh…!”

But now, all Denarua could do was barely hold back the insane force of Lucy’s red-gold slash.

His teeth ground together so hard that his molars were at risk of cracking.

“Gahhhhhhh!”

He was being pushed back, step by step. His legs strained, and his waist buckled as he tried to withstand the attack, but it was only a matter of time.

Finally, his wrist bent backward, and Denarua’s defense was broken.

“Arrgh…!”

Boom!

Lucy’s slash engulfed Denarua entirely.

The sheer force of it cut off even his dying scream.

“Hah… hah… hah….”@@novelbin@@

It had taken everything Lucy had to launch that strike.

The blow not only took care of Denarua but also obliterated the horde of monsters gathered behind him.

Seeing that her attack had succeeded, Lucy dropped to her knees, using the Abyss to steady herself as she leaned against the ground. Her arms trembled, and her undergarments were soaked with sweat.

“Lin…”

Even so, Lucy forced herself to stand and stumbled toward Lin.

Though he was unconscious, she could see his chest rising and falling—he was safe.
