"The demon lord location should be near, go!"

I sent 3 of them straight inside while I was fighting the demon who suddenly ambushed us earlier.

The demon isn't using any magic and only using his sharp claws to attack and defend like earlier. "This should be ready" is what I want to say, but this guy is rather strong and have a good senses.

And... I just notice just now... He's still covering his whole body with his claws... I don't know where to approach him...

"Uhm... I'm about to attack now..."

I approach him while I summon my rapier.

---Slash---Slash---Slash---Slash---

While he is covering his self with his claws, I keep slashing it and trying to break it, but it somehow do strong.

... He doesn't speak since earlier, is he still alive?

"... Hello?"

I pierce my rapier, and tries to open his claws. And after a while I finally open it, and I was shock what is inside.

"W... What the-!? He's not here ?!"

I keep looking inside the claw and I realize there's a hold below, he must've dug a tunnel and escape. No... He didn't escape... I can still feel him moving around underground but I don't know where exactly is he...

"Oi! Stop hiding and shoe your self!"

"..."

No reply... Welp, I have no choice but to search for him. Underground.

I summoned another rapier and now I have 2 rapiers on my both hands. I have a plan but it seems foolish, but I hope it will work.

"Time Stop!"

Time has stopped. I stopped time just incase if he will escape from me. I only have a minute to search for him while the time has stopped. Currently, my limit is only a minute and have a maximum of 1 minute and 30 seconds (I think).

I take a deep breath, and attacks the ground nest the class that the demon is hiding earlier.

"Dual Blade: Thousand Slice!"

Because the time is stopped the smoke had stopped mid air and I can't see anything right now. So I need to start time again to see the result on my actions.

The time has move again, and the smoke slowly clearing up. When it's finally clear, I can't see the demon but I can still feel him somewhere. And after some time the vibrations stop, it seems that the demon stopped somewhere, or he exit the tunnel he made.

And suddenly, the demon appear behind me without me noticing it.

"Shi-...!"

He slash his claws, and I tried to block it with both of the rapier on my hand but I still got hit on the chest.

"Kuaah!!"

And after that he dug himself on the ground again. I now know what is he's objective, and it's to ambush me while he was on the ground. Now that I know it, I will try to counter his attack.

I waited for him to pop up again, and as I expected he showed up behind me again, but I can counter this.

"Time Stop! 1 minute left!"

Right after I activate my ability, like earlier he covered himself with his own claws by enlarging it.

"I didn't realize it earlier... You don't really cover yourself completely everytime you tried defending yourself."

I walked behind him.

"Look. Your back is wide open."

I pierce his back over and over again and put holes into it. It looks painful, but I need to finish him now and follow the others.

"40 seconds left... There's lot of time remaining. Let me enjoy this to the fullest."

I keep piercing his back with my rapiers.

"ホラホラホラホラホラホラ (Hora 6x) ホラ!! (Hora!!)"

There's only 20 seconds left, it only took 40 seconds to deal damage to him.

Time has continue to move again, and all the damage I did to him hitting him all at once.

"GUAAAAHH!!!"

And for the finishing, I slash my rapier on his neck and beheading him that cause to his death. I don't like loud noises, so I just end him right away.

---Thump---

And now this had ended, I need to go where the other were. And at this time, I think they're already at the location of the demon lord.
