Chapter 58 - 141
Without wasting any time, Incus began to run towards the kingdom gates at full speed.
"Cloaked wind!" Ulna conjured wind to wrap around us.
Chasing after her, Incus suddenly jumped over the large moat that was practically a lake, she summoned a hero sword then shouted:
"Excaliburn!"
Destroying the gates of the water kingdom, we followed after when she jumped in.
The view would have been breathtaking but the kingdom had been flooded. looking down, I can see where the elevating walkway and where the man made river way was... I can even see the boats but they were destroyed.
As I paid closer attention, I noticed the body of a person clad in armor, a wide gaping hole in their chest.
Trudging through the water, we entered through a building after Incus.
Walking through the floors, we encountered families who were afraid of the sudden intrusion.
"W-who are you..! A-are you one of the knights, have you come to evacuate us?" A woman asked, tightly hugging her children, using her back as a shield.
"I’m not a knight, just a simple swordsman who’ve come to destroy the demon." Incus said, a clear lack of care in her voice evident.
"Do you know when the knights are going to arrive then, please tell us... the knight who came to rescue us had suddenly disappeared when a demon had appeared." The woman squinted her eyes.
She was trying to spare her children from learning the knight had died, what a caring mother.
"Just wait until the next wave of knights come around, they’ll fill you in." Incus then continued to walk up the stairs.
Reaching the roof, Incus began running, jumping from building to building.
Suddenly demons had appeared in front of us, they were wearing crimson cloaks with a four pointed star embroidered on it, their eyes had also been covered with steel that acted like a blindfold.
"Would you look at that, another knight! Bwahaha! When will you excrement learn that we own Febritust now—!"
Dashing forward, Incus slashed down the smug demon.
"Kyekekeke! He should have seen that coming, his mouth was going to get him killed someday!" Another demon laughed, it’s voice screeching.
With a small motion, Incus did a clean horizontal slash.
"Excaliburn." A burst of flame then shot out, completely annihilating the demons.
Continuing to run forward, we then stopped.
There’s another moat in the way, and there were demons littered around the place as there were pillars that they used to stand on.
Noticing Incus, they all lunged forward.
"Prepare for combat—!" I ordered but was then promptly cut off.
"Excaliburn." Incus had eviscerated them again with flames.
"Ha, you were worried for nothing partner—"
A large looming bulky shadow then enveloped us.
Looking up, it was a grotesquely muscular demon with the same crimson cloak and steel blindfold, it’s fists wrapped by an intimidating black iron.
"You must be the summoned hero... great to meet your acquaintance. But now I have no choice but to kill you, so don’t try to scream too much." The demon’s voice was raspy, but instilled fear within my very being.
"Check status." Incus muttered.

"You’re built like a tank yet your a mage? How contradictory, I genuinely thought you were going to be a threat... but it turns out you’re nothing but a simple mage." Incus chuckled.
The demon then chuckled back before slamming his palms against each other.
"Slaughtering of the earth dragon." Said Gratius.
A Dragon then appeared, made of the stone walls and buildings around the area.
Thrusting a hand forward, the Dragon flew towards Incus.
Commanding the dragon scales armor to block the attack, Incus was skidded back.
"You can’t defeat me, I am the second greatest demon mage." The voice of the demon Gratius was loud.
"Second? You shouldn’t be proud of being second rate." Incus then slammed her fire hero’s sword against the earth dragon.
"Move out of the way!" I commanded.
My party then dispersed, jumping on the roof of another building.
Shifting my attention, the demon Gratius was doing a combination of punches which the earth dragon mimicked.
Incus was clashing with the earth dragon, her figure was dancing with the flames that shrouded her blade.
Glancing up in the sky, the screen wrote:
┌─────═━┈┈━═─────┐
[Chapter 141: The purifying of the water kingdom]
...
Maneuvering around with her [Fire hero’s sword], Incus was slowly breaking down the earth dragon.
’This thing’s skin is much tougher than I expected.’
Summoning the [Water hero’s sword], Incus picked up the pace and made her attacks swifter.
"Excalifrost." Swords made of ice were summoned, increasing the efficiency of her attacks, as they acted like afterimages, turning one slash into ten.
Stomping her foot down, she pulled the two swords back and spun the handles.
"Dual Sky severing thrust." With the help of the conjured ice swords, the earth dragon was completely destroyed.

"All within expectations, this is nothing but a minor set back." Sighed Gratius, before clapping his hands once more.
"Song of the erupting stone." An eruption of earth then surrounded Incus.
Gently smiling, Incus swung both the hero swords sideways, destroying the summoned earth.
But the onslaught continued.
Gratius waved his hands like a conductor, before clapping his hands once more.
"Falling world from the clouds."
After a few seconds, a meteor had appeared in the sky.
└─────═━┈┈━═─────┘
She can gain skills which immediately get increased to an advanced skill, what kind of absurdity is that!
Putting that aside, a large chunk of stone formed a hole through the Window screen, a large burning meteor was falling.
In the next second, Incus jumped into the sky.
