Chapter 398: The Ben and Leo Show
( Eren’s POV )
Eren was confident that it was all over for ‘TheBoss’ and his old companion when the High Demons finally encircled them.
The source of his confidence stemmed from the fact that he had seen those high demons fight before and he knew exactly how ruthless they were.
There was no physical aspect of a human that was superior to a demon.
The demons were faster, stronger and had thicker skins too.
They did not get easily damaged like humans did and had great natural-born instincts as a warrior.

As Eren looked around, he found that all the demons surrounding ‘TheBoss’ were either in the upper 200’s or the 300’s, with his second in command man, a [ Level 371 ] high demon being personally present in the perimeter.
In comparison, ‘TheBoss’ was only a high 200’s level player and one that was merely a human, and hence in Eren’s mind his chances of survival were a low, low 0 percent.
‘The Boss is a fool, he really thought he could kidnap me out of this place…. How naive….. He probably doesn’t even understand just how strong my security is, or how strong the demons surrounding me are.
But he is about to find out….’ Eren thought, as he eagerly waited for ‘TheBoss’ to receive a beating of his lifetime and turned on his in-game feature to [ screen record ].
Unfortunately for him however, the scene that actually unfolded before him, was completely unlike anything that he could have ever anticipated, as he had quite literally never seen a human fight like this before.

( Ben and Leo’s POV )
Surrounded by strong demons on all sides, Leo did indeed feel the pressure for the first time in this mission.
Their massive swords and halberds shining, the demons slowly closed down their perimeter circle around him and Ben, looking for any easy opening that they could exploit.
Daggers in hand, Leo observed the enemy’s movements like a hawk, sweat beads forming on his forehead as he realized the seriousness of the situation.
“It’s time boy….. time to show the demons the power of Mount Faulkner–” Ben said, a killer smile spreading on his face, as for the first time in a long time, he no longer needed to hold back his true strength and could actually go all out.
[ Mirror World ]
[ Mirror World ]
Leo and Ben both simultaneously casted ‘Mirror World’ creating multiple copies of each other that completely filled the space around them.
While Ben’s spell was completed faster and created over 50 copies.
Leo’s spell was completed a second and a half later, creating only 20.
Nonetheless, with over 70 Leo and Ben covering the ground, the demons could no longer figure out which were the real targets, as daggers began flying in all directions.
*Shua*
*Shua*
*Shua*
*Shua*
Like a maniac, Leo threw 10 daggers at once as per his dagger throwing technique, precisely aiming for the combo of heart, neck and forehead, like Ben had taught him on every target he wished to take down.

[ System Notification…. ]
[ System Notification….. ]
Leo’s screen was bombarded by system notifications, as he killed one demon after another.
However, while he was like a small drop of rain, Ben was like an entire waterfall, as by the time Leo killed a couple enemies, Ben killed a dozen.
With his throws being more accurate and having higher piercing power, Ben used only one dagger to kill one demon and like a boss fighter took down every single demon daring to block his path.
” @@###### ” The enemy demon general said angrily, as the demons started to charge, however, while they swung their weapons seriously against every shadow in front of their eyes, the real Leo and Ben, already started to carve their path to escape.
With Ben at the lead, they broke away from the pack of illusions and attacked the demon general directly, engaging him in close quarter-combat.
*Shingg*
The level 371 demon general with his massive halberd, barely reacted in time to block Ben’s attack, as the metal of his sword collided against the metal of Ben’s dagger and sparks flew in all directions.
The demon general, confident in his strength, tried to push-back the frail and old looking human who was a whole 2 feet shorter than him, however, to his absolute surprise he could not do so, as the old man refused to budge an inch.
“This is your chance boy—” Ben said, as emerging from behind Ben, came Leo, who jumped onto his mentor’s shoulders and used it as a ramp to launch himself above the enemy’s head.
At that moment, Ben could see the desperation in the eyes of his enemy, as the enemy’s brain registered the mortal threat it faced, however, with both his hands tied up in pushing away Ben, he no longer had any free limbs, to stop Leo’s assault.
[ Kill Strike ]
-18,000 CRITICAL HIT!
Leo used Kill Strike, decapitating the demon generals head from above his shoulders, as just like that, a mighty High Demons fell at the hands of a Sophomore player.
*Thud*
As the Demon General’s massive body hit the ground, all the demons surrounding it were stunned, as everyone present within this demon camp unanimously acknowledged that particular demon as the strongest of them all and his death hit them hard.
For a moment due to shock, nobody moved, which allowed Ben and Leo to break past the perimeter and resume their escape, until the rest of the demons returned to their senses and resumed the chase once again.
However, unfortunately for them, fortune was not on their side, as once Leo and Ben zoomed past the perimeter, they quickly found their way to the Eastern Forest, a terrain where speed was not everything and maneuverability mattered more.
Maneuverability that the demons did not have, but the nimble Assassin’s did.
