Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Arnold held his sword tightly and stood in a defensive position.

"Tch!" he clicked his tongue and thought, 'And I thought coming here at night was a nice plan.'

"He really came," one of the soldiers uttered.

'So they had already expected that I might come, huh?'

"But he is just a small kid," another soldier remarked.

"I know, right?" He snorted. "I don't know why Boris was so afraid of him."

"Be careful, and don't underestimate the enemy just because he is a kid," the leader of the team asserted.

The knight Boris— who betrayed the king and took over the throne a month ago, wanted to get rid of the prince— Arnold. He had made various search parties for all the towns of the kingdom to find Arnold.

He had also made sure to keep the palace's defense perfect for defending himself from any upcoming attacks.

The soldiers who refused to obey him were killed, and those who betrayed the king were also killed.

Boris trusted no one other than himself. 

He took over the throne with the help of the neighboring kingdom's soldiers; But, Boris was planning to betray them too once he found and killed Arnold.

On the night of the attack, Boris informed the king— Arnold's father, that the kingdom was under attack.

Then, he suggested the king take the queen and Arnold through the secret passage and run away.

The king trusted Boris and took the Queen and Arnold to the secret passage to escape, but Boris had closed the exit of the passage.

After locking the royal family in the secret passage, Boris Unleashed a magical monster in the passage and killed the King and Queen.

Arnold, however, was pulled into a portal by Rosemary. And before he knew it, the entire kingdom was destroyed.

The people were kicked out of their houses, and they were starved to death.

Arnold knew there was nothing he could do. He was magicless— and abnormal. And that abnormality was linked with his soul, so no matter how many times his soul was transmigrated, he couldn't use any magic.

He had mastered martial arts that he learned from Nero, but that wouldn't help him fight the entire kingdom. Especially magic knights and monsters.

Rosemary and Rhea were alchemists, and the offense wasn't their stronghold. And as for Pavel, he barely had any of his powers left as he was going to disappear soon.

So, Arnold and Rosemary planned to run away. They decided to leave the kingdom at its fate and run as far away as possible. But, they met Nero in the town near the shore.

Arnold considered that as a sign of fate telling him to fight for his rights, so he changed his mind and decided to kill Boris.

He didn't have the courage to ask Nero for help as he had nothing to do with Arnold and the kingdom. And he couldn't ask Pavel and Rhea either as Pavel only had a few hours left before he disappeared, so he wanted Rhea to spend Pavel's last moment with him.

As for Rosemary, it was love. He knew she would have followed him even if he hadn't asked her.

Arnold took a deep breath and dashed at the soldiers before yelling, "I am not going to die until I decapitate Boris' head from his body!"

"Heh! As if a kid can even scratch—" The head of the soldier rolled to the ground.

After getting back to their senses, the soldiers yelled, "Kill him!"

Arnold jumped past them and killed them.

One of the soldiers ran to the bell tower to alert other soldiers within the palace.

Arnold tried to chase him down, but other soldiers blocked his path.

"Your life ends here, Prince Arnold," the leader asserted.

"Not today!" Arnold dashed at the leader and began fighting him. 

The other soldiers also joined the battle and attacked Arnold from all sides.

Arnold barely dodged and blocked at the attacks, but he couldn't keep that up for much longer.

'I need to finish this quickly.' Arnold's mind was only fixated on one thing, and that was to go inside the palace and kill Boris.

'Special breathing technique!' Arnold increased the pressure in his arms and legs and started taking long and deep breaths.

He crouched down and stabbed one soldier; then, he jumped and killed two more soldiers.

Arnold's attack speed and agility had increased by ten folds, and his opponents were barely keeping up with him.

He glanced at the bell tower and saw the soldier was about to reach the top.

'I need to stop him before he rings the bell. If he rings the bell, then I am dead for sure.'

Arnold plunged the sword into the ground and used it to jump higher. 

He snapped the neck of a soldier and jumped on the other to kill him.

The leader was enraged and swung the sword at Arnold. However, Arnold jumped, and the leader killed the soldier.

He landed on the ground and kicked the soldier at the leader. Then, he plucked his sword out from the ground and jumped on the leader.

However, the leader grabbed the soldier near him and used him as a meat shield to protect himself. But, he had never thought that Arnold's strike would cut past the soldier's body and cleaved the leader's hand.

The leader kicked Arnold to the ground and jumped on him after pointing his sword straight at Arnold's head.

However, before he could land a hit on Arnold, he stood up and severed the leader's head in one strike.

Arnold panted as he gasped for air. He looked at the bell tower and saw the soldier was about to ring the bell.

He grabbed his sword and threw it at the soldier. The sword penetrated the soldier's chest, but it was too late.

He had rung the bell.
