The Record of Orc Civilization

297 Human's Advantage

This is a beautiful game played by the demon, showcasing its rich experience and superiority in battle strategy. It is able to defeat Artur, a graduate of the top military academy, with just two types of spells.

Unlike humans, demon species have experienced life-and-death battles since their birth in this world. In order to become stronger and survive, they are guided by their instinct to prey on one another.

Weak demons become a source of power for stronger demons. They must not only rely on their physical strength but also utilize their wit. Demons are not born with the same appearance; they come in various forms, without specific classifications to characterize them.

However, in the course of their lives, it is not always the larger and stronger demons that can survive longer. Smaller demons have their own ways to survive, or rather, they are forced to find their own means of survival.

Therefore, the amount of combat experience of each demon that manages to reach Level 2 Demon Core cannot be compared to the cadets graduating from the military academy. The statement that describes military academy mages as mere inexperienced youngsters still nursing from their mothers is accurate when spoken by a demon.

There is nothing Artur can do to diminish the vast difference in combat experience between him and his enemy. Even without being explained, Artur understands that the opponent before him is a seasoned warrior with experience equivalent to his teachers, if not surpassing them.

Artur rises again, reigniting his fighting spirit. Through the corner of his eye, he can see Rini's worried expression and Zalya's pale face. Sergei even appears restless in his seat. It seems that none of them ever anticipated that combat experience would make such a significant difference in strength.

However, Artur remains calm. He has no reason to fear or retreat from this battle. He is accustomed to being the underdog, and usually, no one expects him to win. So why not do it once again, fight with all his might regardless of the outcome?

His life will not end here; Sergei, his grandfather, will not let him die here. This battle is merely a polishing stone for him to become sharper. It's a golden opportunity to taste the experience of fighting someone who is accustomed to warfare. If he doesn't seize this chance, it will all be in vain.

Artur stared at his enemy, who grinned savagely. The demon's body was still dripping with blood from the stabs Artur had inflicted earlier. Although the attacks didn't have a significant impact, they still dealt damage to his opponent. Now the problem was that Artur had lost his advantage.

He hesitated whether to continue the fight with Sonic Boom or not. He couldn't surpass his enemy in terms of strength or experience. Thus, the only advantage he had was his speed, which still couldn't outweigh his opponent.

Even though one of his hands was rendered unusable and his lungs had slowed down, Artur could still fight, and there were no serious injuries on his body that would easily defeat him. Therefore, the answer was to take the risk of heart failure or muscle cramps and continue the battle with his full power.

Besides, the House of Valya must have mages with healing spells capable of instantly rejuvenating him.

As if in agreement, the fight continued, and both fighters attacked simultaneously. Sonic Boom shone once again in the middle of the battlefield, turning Artur into a blue flash encircling his opponent.

Artur launched dozens of stabs with his left hand, while his opponent protected his vital parts with his hard bone hands. Artur tried to penetrate the defense, but he was always hindered by the demon's bones, and the demon took every opportunity to counterattack.

The demon's palm was covered with the Slir and Dhemebus diagrams. This time, he aimed for Artur's chest, intending to stop his heart from beating in a single strike. If the demon's palm made contact with Artur, the fight would undoubtedly end right then and there.

However, instead of fear, Artur accelerated his movements, becoming a true blue lightning flash swirling around his prey. He felt the cramps in his body, but he forced his muscles to keep moving, causing them to rupture.
