A landscape in which the surrounding space is distorted and revealed.

The space that had been an ordinary empty space a while ago had turned into a splendid ballroom before I knew it.

Purple magic flowed in the ballroom decorated with sparkling jewels and various ornaments.

And Serenia was sitting on a fancy chair in the center of the ballroom.

‘What kind of situation is this?’

It was clear that Serenia was up to something.

But I didn’t feel anything.

I can’t be sure because it happened so quickly, but it seemed like a trap prepared in advance.

And Serenia turned my expectations into certainty.

“Ahaha, how are you? How do you feel about coming to my palace?”

“A palace?”

“right. To be precise, it can be said that it embodied the place where I lived with my mother.”

“Hmm… I guess it’s not that high level. If you think about what you normally do, it’s natural.”

“… what?”

Serenia raised her eyes and became angry.

“after… okay. It’s only now that I can hold my head up like that.”

Soon, he smiled at me with a relaxed expression.

“This is a subspace I created. And within this, I am the owner. So no matter how much you are, you won’t be able to get out easily.”

He looks quite confident.

“I don’t think it’s a space that can be easily created.”

“You have eyes to see. right. It is a space created by using quite a lot of Chaos Stones and even the artifacts that my mother gave me. Just to catch you.”

“Where did you leave the things you always took with you and come alone?”

“Because I don’t need those idiots right now.”

Seeing Serenia, who always led her subordinates around, talking like that, it seemed like she had a lot of faith in this space.

Considering the attitude Serenia had shown so far, it would have been impossible to step out in front of me alone without a fair amount of confidence.

“Now then, I will punish you for the rudeness you have done to me.”

Right.

Serenia snapped her fingers, and three purple mirrors appeared around her.

“Know the glory. It is a treasure specially borrowed to enslave you.”

Blazing-

The three mirrors spewed purple flames and settled around Serenia.

“First, I’ll fix that cheeky attitude.”

Sweetheart-

Sparks began to shoot from the mirror blades.

“It’s clumsy.”

I ran forward and struck the blade.

Pew!

The blade shattered in an instant, scattering shrapnel around, and I ran behind Serenia.

No, I was going to run.

However.

‘what?’

After being smashed, scattered purple fragments began to grab my ankles.

To be precise, the fragments turned into fog and wrapped around me.

‘It’s not a very good feeling.’

The purple mist that spread everywhere was very sticky.

It feels like walking through a deep swamp.

As a result, my speed was remarkably slow, and the power required to move was also being consumed more.

Sure, it was a little annoying, but it wasn’t a big deal.

“You’re performing tricks.”

I pierced the purple fog and ran forward.

The distance to Serenia that is approaching in an instant.

I stretched out my fist and struck a nearby mirror.

Kwaaang.

Then, using the recoil, I kicked the mirror on the other side faster.

puffy.

However, the mirror was stronger than expected and seemed to take no damage from my attacks.

‘Something is strange.’

It is well known that it is not an ordinary mirror.

Serenia mentioned that it was a treasure, so it must be a valuable item.

It’s not unusual for him to withstand my attacks.

But the problem was elsewhere.

‘That mirror is not sturdy.’

No matter how strong the mirror is, it’s difficult to withstand my attacks when it’s not protected by a shield or magic.

Erina’s White Glory also cracked, but it doesn’t make sense that I, who have become stronger than before, couldn’t just smash a mirror like that.

‘Have I become weak?’

It was clear that the thick purple mist in and around this space was sapping my strength.

Of course, it’s not a big deal if it’s simply weakening my strength.

Even if she was debuffed to some extent, she was confident enough to beat Serenia.

But the biggest problem was different.

‘I can’t use magic.’

Maggie didn’t disappear.

Because I could clearly feel the pure magic accumulated through the Diablic Force inside my body.

However, the problem is that the demonic energy, which should flow naturally, is stopped in a solid state like a stone.

‘It’s more annoying than expected.’

It was clear that magic could not be used in this space.

I thought he would have prepared something, but I never thought it would come out like this.

Serenia, who was observing me from a distance, raised an eyebrow.

“Why? Is something not going as well as you thought?”

“You’re making a crude move.”

“Ahaha. You must have noticed by now. The reason for my confidence.”

“… … .”

Definitely an unexpected situation.

At this rate, it seems difficult to escape this trap easily.

What do you do with this?

* * *

Serenia had a relaxed look on her face, probably thinking she had caught all the fish.

The attitude of trying to put pressure on me by watching the situation rather than rushing first.

It looked like he was paying for the humiliation he had suffered so far.

Still, thanks to that, I was able to buy a little time to figure out the situation.

‘If you can’t use magic, the way you fight is extremely limited.’

Diablic Requiem and Demonic Barrier cannot be used.

These two skills are basic skills that use magic.

In the current situation where demonic energy does not flow at all, it is a useless skill.

‘Even indomitable will be useless.’

Indomitable, a passive skill that activates when the opponent is stronger than you.

But Serenia is weaker than me.

Of course, the conditions for indomitability to be activated are not satisfied.

‘Even magic has no meaning now.’

There was no magic that could be used right away, and the skills were meaningless in a situation where basic sorcery was everything.

‘It’s a story that in the end it’s just a hand-to-hand combat.’

If I have overwhelming ability, it doesn’t matter if I can’t use magic.

But I’m still not at that level.

No matter how weak Serenia is than me, she is one of the strongest among the students.

It didn’t seem easy to subdue her with the help of this space and mirrors with simple physical strength.

“You roll your head like a rat? Even so, it’s no use. Because in this space, no one but me can use magic. All you have left is to admit defeat and bow your head at my feet.”

“That will not happen.”

“You still hold your head stiff. You will need an education.”

Serenia snapped her finger and the mirrors started moving again.

Earlier, purple blades were poured out, but this time it was a little different.

One with numerous arrows, one with a huge spear, and finally.

‘whip?’

A long, thick whip came out of the mirror.

“Kneel that disobedient slave before me.”

An attack launched simultaneously with Serenia’s command.

Shuka Kaka.

Wow.

Sweetheart.

Different types of attacks came from all sides, and I hurriedly jumped to avoid them.

However, the attack was faster, stronger, and more tenacious than I thought.

‘shit.’

Numerous arrows restrict movement space, and huge spears block movement.

Finally, a perfect breath as the whip digs in and strikes with an odd movement.

It was an unpredictable movement, as if a person was handling it directly.

“The Queen’s mirror is my mother’s prized treasure. It contains the essence created by the mother’s slaves with great care.”

There was definitely a reason Serenia was confident.

It’s a pretty annoying situation simply by this space, but the biggest problem was the various attacks that those three mirrors poured out.

It responds by enduring weak attacks as much as possible and avoiding critical attacks.

However, it is a temporary measure.

‘In the end, I have to either destroy the mirror or hit Serenia.’

The problem is that in the current situation where you can’t use magic, it’s difficult to make an attack strong enough to destroy the mirror.

Approaching Serenia is also difficult unless you break through the mirror’s escort.

You know how to do it, but you lack the ability to execute it.

The mirror continued to attack without stopping, and my stamina gradually began to drop.

If you can’t use magic, you can’t receive the effect that strengthens the body that can be obtained from the Diabloc Force.

In the end, the number of attacks allowed gradually increased, and the damage accumulated on the body also increased.

And finally.

Wow!

I didn’t miss the moment when I was caught in the purple mist, and I had to roll on the floor with the whip that flew by.

“Keugh.”

I feel the bitter taste of blood in my mouth.

A sense of crisis that I feel for the first time after falling into this world of demons.

‘I didn’t expect to be treated like this by an opponent who wasn’t overwhelmingly strong and looked down on me for a long time.’

It’s all excuses.

If I had been strong, there would have been no problem.

The traps and artifacts prepared by Serenia were also having a greater effect because I was weak.

‘Wait a minute.’

Suddenly, something I had forgotten about came to mind.

I turned my gaze to my waist.

There was a sword that was not very ordinary.

‘If it’s an artifact, I have it.’

He’s also a pretty high-level guy.

A sword with the ability to use it more effectively in the current situation.

The question is, does this guy work?

However, Serenia’s words that followed dispelled my worries.

“I can’t even use artifacts that utilize demons here. So don’t be fooled and surrender. All you can do is bow my head.”

Artifacts that utilize magic are not allowed, but what about magic?

‘Should I be lucky? No, if I had been lucky in the first place, I wouldn’t have suffered like this.’

The sword I have is an artifact that escapes the condition he said.

An artifact from another dimension created based on magical power.

Now that we’ve found a clue to counterattack, it’s time to change the situation.

I decided to provoke Serenia some more.

“Attack is not good for bragging like that. Is this all there is to it?”

“Ha, your mouth is alive until the end. Soon you will praise me with your mouth.”

Right.

As Serenia snapped her fingers, the mirrors that had been swirling around her began to gather in front of her.

The purple aura deepened around the mirror, and at the same time, the aura that radiated out also became intense.

“You won’t die, but you can get seriously injured, so take care of yourself. After that, I will make you my slave.”

Serenia waved her hand with an arrogant expression.

Qurrr.

Violet beams of light poured from the mirror with a roar that shook the ground.

I slowly raised my sword in front of the energy that raged like a storm.

and hurried forward.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but it’s no use. You are done.”

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa.

After a while, the purple aura that had been swirling with the momentum to tear me apart stopped in front of the sword.

And a fierce struggle begins.

The sword greedily sucked in pure demonic energy, refined it from the inside, and built it up one by one.

The sword body shook violently, and my body holding the sword shook as well.

However, the sword endured continuous attacks and succeeded in turning it into its own power.

Finally.

Ugh-

Absorbing all the power, he emits a black purple sword light, indicating that he is alive and well.

An intense aura of destruction on the blade.

The energy that had been directed at me a moment ago was now baring its teeth at Serenia.

“this… what is this… !”

Seeing that, Serenia was shocked.

I said with a smile.

“Well then, shall we start over?”
