-Stephan, you've betrayed your home and killed a lot of talented ones. Do you know the meaning of the word shame? If you would know, you'd never come here.

-You have the right to think so, I must admit, I had and will kill a lot. Now I'm a part of the Emperor's guard. Hope you don't expect I'll go easy on you just because we're born in the same country. My guys will not agree with it -He pointed back at his people

-You damn traitor! You've killed my brother! -One of the RBI finally attacked. His body was covered with dark color armor, and he was holding a dark sword.

Stephan's figure suddenly grew up, in a blink of an eye, he turned into a 3-meter tall demon, his hands as wide as the door. His fist with a loud swoosh flew to him, but instead of bone cracking sound, the agent dissipated as if he was an illusion.

-Child play. -His scorpion-like tail moved and penetrated his own shadow, then he raised his tail with a figure. The man was penetrated, and he was barely breathing. Stephan grabbed him and raised in front of him, blocking the fireball

-*Boom!*

-Ah... -He spitted a mouthful of blood.

-Charge. -The demon smiled. He ran toward the RBI, along with his people.

-Damn it, attack! I'll take care of him -The other side's leader commanded while charging forward. His figure began soaring and he's circling around Stephan. He was as agile as a fly. Stephan's attack couldn't reach him no matter how hard he tried, on the other hand, the leader's sword always attacked his weak spots, causing him to bleed. Understanding the situation, he casted.

-Fire aura! -The burning wave came out of his body, it was so hot so even my steel body level 9 felt hot. The ones who are closer to him get higher damage. What a terrifying spell!

-It's our moment, let's run. -Dark Lord said, I nodded and moved toward Angeline.

-Angeline, let's get out of here.

-But...

-They're bad guys. Believe me -Hearing my words, she seemed to have an inner fight. After a few seconds, she finally said

-Uncle Five, let's go

I put her on my back, and moved away, however, before I even could leave the area I get circled by 4 mages. They're from both groups. That's obvious they're not letting us go.

Gritting my teeth I casted

-Infernal Rift!

Everyone immediately moved away from me. A portal appeared in front of me, and everyone looked at it with tense, however

-I hate when happens. -As the owner of the spell, I am naturally more experienced so I know when nobody is going out. Gathering all my energy in my legs, I ran. But very soon I felt my every step getting harder and harder. As if I carry a mountain on my back.

-Not so quick. That's you the one who wounded Rose? As her senior, I just have to kill you. - An RBI agent stood in front of me, that was one of the twins. Damn, that's gonna be a very hard fight.

-Magic Projectile! -A rocket flew out of my and flew toward an agent, he didn't even move, a rocket exploded, raising dust.

-Too weak buddy. -He looked at me mockingly. He demonstratively raised his hand. I'd like to attack him with more serious spells, but I'm afraid Angelina will get injured -Alright, it's time to finish you. Bea... *BOOM!*

-Annoying bug. -Stephan threw smashed head away, and his gaze landed on me -You'd better obey. Otherwise, I'll be had to use strength. Do you want to become like him -He raised another hand, showing the Dark Lord. However, his condition was very bad. He lost all his limbs and seems like he's fainted. If he was a human, it'd look disgusting.

-Alright! Alright. -I raised my hands, surrendering.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

-Mhm. Follow me.

-Stop. -Suddenly, an RBI Leader stood in front of us.

-Hm? You have recovered that fast? - Stephan looked at the RBI Leader. Despite whole his body being covered with wounds, his eyes seemed to burn.

-All-seeing Swordsman! -His body suddenly began to change. Clothing on his torso had been cut into 1000 little pieces by invisible blades, and eyes appeared all over his body, but at the same time, his own eyes disappeared. His skin also began to change, it became scarlet in color closer to the head, and grey closer to the limbs.

-So you had such a body-altering spell. I'm sure it's quite strong. But you know as well as I do, there's no way to turn you back into a human.

-I know, but to fight against a monster, I have to become a monster myself. -He raised his sword, and now he had an overwhelming aura. I probably don't even have a slight chance against him

-Seems like you don't let us go

-No.

-Alright then. - Suddenly he looked at me. I thought he want to say something, but instead, his tail moved, I immediately reacted, jumping back.

However, once I landed, I felt extreme pain in my chest. My chest is pierced! Never expect him to be able to shoot his sting off. Thankfully, he doesn't have any poison.

Without giving me time to think, he grabbed my hand. I tried to release my hand, but he didn't even move

He pulled it with all his might, a loud crack, and I felt like my mind turned off, and my eyes went dark. What a loud scream, who's it? A moment later I discovered the one who screamed, it was me.

This thought worked like a switching button, I came back to my senses. I was lying on the ground, hearing a fight. That must be Stephan fighting the leader and blonde guy. Must admit, he's terrifying.

-Uh... -I heard a moan close to me. Turning my head, I saw a Dark Lord. I instantly get up and examined him, his condition was very bad.

-Dark Lord! Are you okay?

-Huh? Who? Dark lord? No... I'm Antony. -He muttered

What the? I examined him again, that's 100% a dark lord, but this talking manure.

-Knight?

-What the? Who... are you? -his eyes finally focused on me, and he seemed to realize the situation -Haven't I died!? Mmm! Mmmh! -I hastily shut his mouth. I thought that's a Dark Lord, when the hell did he manage to escape?

I need to run! Wait, can I escape now?

I looked around, currently, everyone was fighting against Stephan. He's tanking all the damage, and killing, or at least wounding everyone around.

-Damn it! What's his level!?

-Around 80 when he was one of us! -Said Leader.

-No wonder! He must be over 100!

Nice, they don't seem to paying attention to me, I might

-Shock Blow. -I felt a shockwave moving from my hand to all over my body. -Help me! It's me! Knig... *Knock!**Knock!*

In fury, I struck him again and again. He just! He just! Now, I don't have any chances of survival. Seems like he fainted again. I should have done that early.

My gaze landed on the agents. Screw it! I began to cast a reincarnation.

-*Hiss!* *Hiss!* *Hiss!* -Before I could cast it properly, I felt how seemingly dead parasites on my body began to tremble. These parasites, do they feel that I'm going to die? Nevermind. I continued casting, however, very soon I understand that it will take 20 seconds if I completely concentrate on it. My mana insanely circulated all over my body, causing fluctuations.

-Stop him! He's casting a powerful spell! -RBI agents pointed at me, seemingly worried. Seems like there's no other way, I have to fight!

Taking a stance, I prepared. It will take a minute if I cast unconcentrated, I have to survive a minute!
