To pinpoint the exact spot, Michael cut the sword into pieces at regular intervals.
After swinging the sword about six times, the demon's body finally tilted and sank into the water with a plop!
Based on what he learned, Michael swung his sword again.
After killing two more of them, the remaining six demons hesitated.
The guys seem to be afraid of Michael jumping into the lake.
Michael immediately placed his palm on the water, and a blast of ice magic flowed out.
The surface of the lake froze over, forming an ice bridge between where Michael was and where the demons were.
Michael immediately ran along the road and approached the demons.
Crunch! Crunch!
The demons were helpless. The demons were vomiting out bodily fluids.
The sound finally gave the impression that they were trying to escape into the water.
Michael put his hand on the water again and cast his spell.
This time, the cold air did not flow along the surface but dug into the water.
A strong magical force instantly creates a chunk of ice like an iceberg.
And the ice contained the bodies of the demons.
The demons began to freeze together, seemingly vulnerable to temperature changes.
Michael didn't miss the opportunity.
He put a night ray on the ice block.
And in that state, the black energy exploded.
Break! Break!
The ice shattered into pieces along with the frozen demon's torso.
Sharp shards of ice, like broken glass, flew fiercely in all directions.
Michael immediately struck a wall of flames. The ice that had been rushing down with fierce momentum instantly sublimated into steam.
Oh, the push button disappeared.
'Michael... As expected, my knight.'
A look of pride spread across my face as I watched the overwhelming battle.
Michael landed on the land next to me.
Michael spoke to me, who was counting the number of fallen demons.
“These guys, none of them had cores.”
“Huh? So there’s a separate main body?”
“Perhaps. I will continue the battle, so please step back further, Princess.”
Michael said this and handed the Night Ray's scabbard to me.
It meant that I should protect myself by using the barrier magic stone Aegis.
I refused.
“I have a better barrier than Aegis.”
“That’s true.”
Michael immediately understood and took back the scabbard.
“I’ll be back.”
"Be careful."
I waved my hand as if to see him off. Suddenly, Michael realized that I was watching his own battle.
Was it really this conscious to show someone you were fighting?
Michael felt a little excited, even though it was unusual for him.
But soon he shook off the thought, thinking it was just a distraction from the battle.
'Let's focus.'
Using his flying magic, Michael went to the center of the lake and drew up the mana within his body.
Michael swung his Nightray mercilessly towards the center of the lake.
An attack hit the lake the other day, such as tearing up clouds to dump mana.
Kwakwakwakwang!
A crescent-shaped black aura broke the surface of the lake and dug deep into it.
A tsunami-like circular ripple spread from the impact point, sweeping away the land outside the lake.
I immediately created a barrier around myself to avoid being swept away by the current.
The tsunami was over, but the lake did not calm down easily. It was when the lake overflowed as if it were a huge shaking teacup. Suddenly the ground began to ring.
Kookookookook!
It was a sign of the devil's coming.
A dozen more of the giant worms Michael had caught earlier rose out of the water.
Whoever reported that there were nine should have written a poem.
'After all, these demons are not individual entities. They are just tentacles that have branched off from the main body.'
It was when Michael made his decision.
A single tentacle, or rather a single line, swept through the water as if sensing me.
“Oh, it’s coming to me.”
I was delighted, for it was a good opportunity to experiment with the silver-skinned Arachne.
It was when I was feeling nervous and drawing up the mana within my body.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
But I had such a wonderful subordinate.
Michael, who had already arrived on land, blocked my path and cut the tentacles into five pieces.
Not knowing that I was disappointed, Michael said as he wiped the body fluid off Nightray.
“The main body seems to be quite a coward. It doesn’t seem to have any intention of coming out.”
“What should we do?”
“I’ll go in and see for myself.”
“Into the water?”
"Of course."
Immediately Michael's feet hit the ground.
He quickly cleared away the remaining tentacles and entered the lake.
As the sounds of the ground grew distant, the water's characteristic resonance created tinnitus.
The water temperature was cold, but Michael was not affected by the warming magic stone.
Bubbling.
Bubbles scattered about, obscuring vision.
After staring at the bottom of the lake for quite some time, Michael was able to grasp the situation at the bottom of the lake.
There were so many tentacles there that they were tangled and writhing like a bush.
Thin tentacles as thick as an arm were the mainstay, but none as large as those he'd seen so far.
There was a lot left.
'There is no separate forest.'
The timid body would have hidden tightly in the bushes.
Michael created a magic ball of light the size of a child's head and sent it flying toward the ground.
Whirl. Whirl.
As if recognizing the approach of prey, the bushes opened and the main body was revealed.
A hybrid flower seen outside the lake with huge petals
It was wide open.
In the center where the flower should be, there was a terrible predator's mouth resembling a shark's snout.
Kkwadduk!
A large mouth chewed through the magic orb. The magic was instantly nullified.
Michael had already thoroughly checked the appearance of the demon.
Although it was a slightly mutated form, its identity was certain.
'It was an underwater Nepenthes.'
It was a size that would have allowed it to live for at least a hundred years.
It is not that they have recently settled in the lake, but they were the original owners of the lake.
It was clear that it had fallen asleep for some reason and then woke up.
The core of Nepenthes is usually located within the sac of the tree.
It was easy to attack by simply cutting the neck or stabbing the mouth open with the sword.
But in the water, the tentacle roots were extremely annoying.
Even if Michael cuts off the tentacle roots that keep trying to wrap around his body, there is no end to it.
It was difficult to narrow the distance between the main body and the subject.
Besides, there was a fundamental problem.
'Oh, my gosh.'
Michael first rose to the surface.
As it hurriedly came out onto land, it had severed tentacle roots hanging here and there on its body.
The trees hit by the tentacle whips snapped with a loud crack.
Michael quickly searched for .e with his eyes, avoiding Nepenthes's ignorant lashes.
It seemed like no aid was needed.
“Wow, I’m finally getting to try it.”
I was truly delighted to see the flying tentacle roots.

Michael first rose to the surface.
As it hurriedly came out onto land, it had severed tentacle roots hanging here and there on its body.
I was naturally surprised when I saw this.
“Michael!”
“It's okay.”
After stopping me from approaching, Michael took a deep breath.
And when he was able to speak in a somewhat calm voice, he asked.
“Princess, are there any plants here worth collecting?”
“Huh? Well. Not really?”
“Then I guess it’s okay to destroy the ecosystem a bit.”
Michael decided to take bold measures.
He placed his palm on the lake's surface again and cast his spell.
The lake water gradually began to emit white steam.
The idea was to use the vast amount of mana without reserve to boil the entire lake.
The underwater Nepenthes have already eaten all the life in the lake.
It was rather fortunate.
If it weren't for that, the lake might have become a giant fish stew by now.
'Do you think that guy will ever come out?'
Kwakwakwakwang!
As Michael had intended, the underwater Nepenthes jumped up to the surface in surprise from the heat.
Tentacles writhing like Medusa's head turned upside down beneath a flower as big as a house.
The truly bizarre form of the demon was fully revealed out of the water.
“Gyaaaah!”
“Princess?!”
Michael immediately reacted to my scream that he heard at that moment.
It was when I looked back that I felt as if my heart had stopped.
“It’s disgusting!”
“...You have defiled the Princess’s eyes. I will take care of you quickly.”
Michael calms down and fights again

“...You have defiled the Princess’s eyes. I will take care of you quickly.”
Michael calms down and fights again
The aquatic Nepenthes, reluctant to be boiled in hot water, spread their roots in all directions and anchored themselves to the edge of the lake.
The tentacle roots are woven like a strong spider web, allowing the main body of Nepenthes to remain above the water surface.
Kuoooo!
The underwater Nepenthes looked angry.
The remaining tentacle roots stretched out and began to swing wildly on the ground.

“Wow, I’m finally getting to try it.”
I was truly delighted to see the flying tentacle roots.
I immediately surrounded myself with silver hair.
Arachne unfolded.
Crush! Crush!
The words of the tentacle roots that reached my realm were terrifying.
It was cut into small pieces by a silver thread that was finer than a net and sharper than a knife and then burst apart.
“Ugh... I feel nauseous.”
Around me were scattered the remains of tentacle roots, now kneaded into something with purple fluid.
It was fortunate that the first monster I faced was a plant type. Otherwise, I might have been confused while throwing up.

It was fortunate that the first monster I faced was a plant type. Otherwise, I might have been confused while throwing up.
Anyway, the roots of Nepenthes burst out without touching a single hair on my head.
Michael watched the scene with some bewilderment.
'That's a barrier? What kind of scam is that...'
Even to Michael, whose very existence was a fraud, the silver-haired Arachne seemed to be a wonder.
'Even if it is magically passed down from a great sage, the Princess's ability to learn such things is truly astonishing.'
This allowed Michael to focus on destroying his enemies with peace of mind.
Michael prevented Nepenthes from falling into the lake.
I approached the main body using the fixed tentacle roots as a pier.
The lake, which had once been boiling, began to emit hot steam.
It was a heat that seemed to cook his flesh, but Michael only felt a little hot because all the magic stones were barely holding him back.
'Thank you for your foresight, Princess.'
Michael approached the main body, cutting off the tentacle roots blocking his way.
