'Who... is... that?!'
As the human's icy gaze pierced her, the female Demon found herself getting anxious. Her confidence was slowly dissipating.
The Middle-Class Demon couldn't even maintain eye contact with the man for too long, so she looked beyond him.
Her eyes noticed several other humans—all unarmed as they watched the whole scene play out.
They were a safe distance from the carnage wrought by the human, yet their lackadaisical attitudes were questionable.
It was almost as if they were in no danger at all.
It was beyond what she could understand.
'Humans weak. Humans dead. Humans lose!'
That was what she had thought.
But what was playing out in front of her was beyond her calculations.
"The time has come, Demon..." The human splattered the leftover blood, that dripped from his blade, on the ground.
His cold gaze did not leave her.
"... Time to die."

'Alright! Looks like the stage I set up is finally ready.'
Before I left the settlement for my mission in Dulum, I made sure to erect a large illusion barrier around our walls.
That way, it would create a duplicate settlement and serve as an illusion to trick our enemies.
Upon returning one day prior to the invasion, I also set up a few things and gathered my people—informing them of the incoming assault.
Of course, this caused them to place me on an even higher pedestal than before. They just had to consider me even more powerful than before.
'Good grief.' I nearly sighed as I looked at the army that spread out behind the Demon.
'I've practically used up all the energy in my blade, so it's worthless now. Plus, even though I defeated these ones and got some Level Ups, fighting for too long has exhausted me quite a bit.'
I was now Level 69 thanks to the sacrifice of the one hundred and fifty-seven Demons that came after me.
'Their Levels were low, and I could defeat them in one strike, but I guess it's because of their sheer number that I Leveled Up so many times...'
Well, the Hero had Bonus EXP for slaying Demons especially, so that must have also contributed to it.
'Level 69, eh? That's actually very strong.'
I looked at the enemy with a condescending gaze as I knew the moment for retribution was near.
Unfortunately for me, a Demon's base stats were still higher than a human's, so being Level 69 didn't make me superior to a Level 50 Middle-Class Demon.
'I have more Skills, though a lot of them are in cooldown due to overexertion...'
There was no use overthinking things too much, though.
In the end, I simply had to fulfill my mission.
'We're at the crux. This is it... the moment of truth!'
>WHOOOSSHH!!!WHUM!WHOOOSH!!!<
With our positions now reversed, I intended on inflicting the same kind of pain she gave my people.
It was the least I could do as the Hero.
