Arin, who was flying in the air, turned around and fell on a block of ice that Ed made. When the chunk of ice sunk into the water and was pushed up by buoyancy, Arin made a jump. Arin climbed on to the merchant ship, and saw the man standing face to face on his speedboat. Arin closed her eyes and opened when she saw Ed facing the man full of muscles. Her eyes shone blue when she looked at her opponent. What he had shown to them was not human power. The appearance of her opponent was strange. His human soul was serving the power of the demon. The moment she saw him, she could tell. What a terrible experiment they've done to him.

"How can there be such a cruel person!"

When Arin was angry at Akalan, the man rushed toward Ed and he began to fire his arrow.

Ed fired seven arrows at Brant, who was running. Five arrows were fired toward his face and two arrows were fired toward the ground, but now the automatic defense system of the Eslan chain seemed to have been turned off. Brant, who had been running with all five arrows around his arm, staggered when the floor froze. Ed pulled out Etrian's sword and swung it at Brant while injecting mana. If he was attacked like this for the first time, he won't even know what was going to happen. However, Brant's left red eye was shining, and he used both arms to block the attack. Ed's sword power was wrapped around his chain.

Boom!

Sword power is generated by using mana, not muscle strength. Brant, who was beaten by Ed's sword power, was pushed all the way to the end to the ship, then stuck his left foot on the floor and held out. Brant swung his left arm as Ed tried to swing his sword again. Ed stopped swinging his sword with a frightening hunch and bowed his head.

Shhhh!

The chain of Eslan passed by where Ed's head was. The long chain was swung with the power to rip Ed's flesh and break his head just by a touch. Ed stepped back and swung his sword. He kept using his Mana and his sword. He was trying to attack using his invisible sword power. Will Brant be able to stop his attack again? Brant avoided the invisible attack. His left eye was shining red when he blocked the trajectory with his chain.

Booooom!

Brant bounced off the speedboat. Brant, who was bouncing away, released the chain around his left arm and wrapped it around the sail. He made a mistake when he did that. Ed put down Etrian's sword and fired an arrow straight away. He can't block all the arrows with one arm. So this time, Ed poured out all the arrows he could shoot from the frozen arrow barrel. He raised his arm to block a few arrows, but he could not avoid getting shot on his thighs and shoulders. The arrows were shot in a hurry, but they penetrated through his thick muscles and slowed him down enough. Back to the speedboat, Brant kicked the ground with one leg. If he can't control his leg and one arm, the balance of his body will be broken. So his movements are bound to become rough. Ed wanted to finish him off now. He wanted to see the end to this battle. Ed narrowed his distance and pulled out the Salamander's sword. As soon as their distance narrowed, Ed had to do his best to avoid flying fists. Brant's movement was faster than anything Ed has ever encountered. Brant tried to avoid the attack even in his current state, but he wasn't fast enough. As a result, the pressure hurt his skin as if it was tearing. However, he was focusing on avoiding Ed's attack. The salamander's sword cut the Brant's side and passed by. The side cut by the Salamander's sword is fiery. He didn't get a deep cut because he turned, but the flames soared immediately due to the small cut in his muscles. Brant then stood on two feet, and released the chains on both of his arms, and swung them. The chain flying like a whip aimed for Ed, but Ed moved around and avoided it because the arrows stuck in Brant's shoulders and thighs slowed him down. It might have been dangerous if Brant was in his normal state, but his attacks were avoidable in his current state. Ed, who avoided his attack, threw the Salamander's sword. Brant chained the Salamander's sword flying toward his forehead.

This is how the game ends. Two seconds is longer than you think. The salamander's sword, which Brant thought would bounce off, was stuck in his back. It didn't matter if Brant's muscles were so hard that the sword couldn't reach the heart. Ed can still control it as he wanted for two seconds, so he tried to dig into Brant's skin as deep as he could. Brant rushed without slowing down at all, even though the Salamander's sword was stuck in his back. When Ed avoided him, Brant pulled the Salamander's sword out of his back and threw it. It flew in like a black bullet thrown with an ignorant force. Ed managed to avoid it. But Brant didn't stop. He tried to leap as he was running to the river. Ed smiled in vain at Brant's appearance and pulled out an arrow. Brant turned and blocked the arrow Ed fired with mana. Perhaps because his body was stiff or his back muscles were burning, the arrow was stuck between his chains.

Crack!

Brant fell into the river with his entire chain arm frozen. Ed thought he was going to float back up of buoyancy, so he prepared and ran. But Ed ran out of mana because he used Etrian's sword a lot. He ran, but Brant went into the water with a splash and never came back up. With chains around both of his arms, his weight disappeared into the water. Ed shot the water with an arrow, but Brant did not come out. Ed made a 'tsk' sound as Brant didn't come out of the water for a long time. Brant was a human weapon raised by Akalan. This man's ability far exceeded the intermediate demon. He was like a senior demon that wields a relic-class equipment. Ed thought Brant would still be a difficult enemy even without his red left eye. His strong muscle strength and agility were top class. Even when dealing with demons, there are demons that are so fast and strong that even Ed would have a hard time handling. But he was confident of catching them, but not Brant. Brant was the most troublesome opponent Ed has faced until now. Ed saw that Brant did not come up after a long time, so he recovered the equipment and returned to the merchant ship. The distance between the speedboat and the merchant ship has already become quite far, but it was easy to freeze the river and cross it without difficulty. When Ed came over, Arin approached and looked at his condition.

"Are you okay?" "Unfortunately, I missed him." "No. I'm glad you didn't get hurt."

Arin couldn't take her eyes off Ed as they fought. In fact, their fight ended without any time for her to intervene. So she was surprised by Ed's various attack methods, and she was surprised at the monster-like man's ability to avoid them. It was only then that Thane opened the carriage and came out, looking at the two and said.

"Did you lose him?" "Yes."

Thane looked at the speedboat moving away from him. Thane hid inside the carriage during the fight with the Akalan agents, but he opened the window and watched the fight against Brant. It was hard to see them with Thane's eyes, but he remembered the form. Thane's gaze turned to Arin.

"He didn't look like a human. What do you think?"

Arin bit her lips at Thane's words. This was because Akalan's terrible experiment came to mind.

"He was serving the power of the demon and sacrificing his human soul." "I knew it."

Thane looked at Ed and said,

"Didn't I tell you in the past that there was a person like him? When talking about Rookie who kills demons in the last year."

Ed's impression hardened. He asked that question to find out who the main characters of the Demon's Age 2 were. However, he said that some of them were not identified.

"Do you think it's Brant?" "It looks like there's plenty of potential."

Ed looked at the Ain River at Thane's words. Ed didn't know that Brant, who hasn't come out of the water so far, was one of the main characters. Ed especially didn't know that he would end up in a bad relationship with one of the main characters. Anyone who works for Akalan would eventually meet Ed again. Should Ed kill Brant then? What if they can't reach the ending because of Brant's death? All kinds of miscellaneous thoughts floated in Ed's head. Then Arin asked.

"But how did he manage to use the demon's power?"

Thane replied by touching his glasses.

"The Eslan's chain was originally the great demon's seal. I didn't know it had such miscellaneous abilities, but I think he used it to minister the power of the demon."

Arin clenched her fist.

"It's nerve-racking to think about how many people would have died during his experiment."

Thane couldn't hide his depressed face.

"I agree with that. On the contrary, I think it was possible to do such a crazy thing because he was part of Akalan. They created a demon so they could kill other demons." "It's unforgivable."

Thane nodded at Arin's words.

"That's what happens. Perhaps if this fact becomes known, they will be criticized."

Ed looked at Thane. If Thane was honest, he would've been actively in favor of creating demons to kill other demons. But he was responding to Arin's words otherwise. Arin said without hiding her stiff expression.

"I'll have to report this as soon as I get to Kalim City." "Yes, you must."

Ed agreed with Arin and looked at the river. Arin and Brant wouldn't have met if it weren't for Ed. Now they also have a bad relationship. They don't know what kind of butterfly effect this would bring, but when they thought about it, their existence itself was creating a butterfly effect. He met Gerrard and gave him a good weapon, and now a bad relationship has begun. But Ed decided to think positively. Even if Arin met Brant another way, she wouldn't have accepted Brant.
