After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

"BLACK KNIGHT!!!"

Yves widened his eyes, roared like a devil, pushed Octavia aside, and swung his broken sword at Ryan beside him.

Ryan moved sideways to grab it, raised his sword to block Yves's giant sword, and at the same time kicked Yves in the abdomen, directly kicking Yves flying backwards!

After throwing aside the giant sword he had seized, Ryan looked at Yves, who was already out of breath after just one kick from him. He knew that Yves had actually been exhausted for a long time.

Looking at Ryan who was calm and composed, Yves asked in a deep voice: "Is that loser Candice dead?"

Ryan shrugged and said nothing.

"What a waste..."

While muttering, Yves stood up unsteadily, his eyes bloodshot, as if he was ready to engage in a physical fight with Ryan.

"The situation is settled. I am now at my peak, and you are exhausted. Even without the crystal formation, you cannot be my opponent."

As Ryan spoke calmly, he rushed forward and pierced Yves' chest with a sword, preparing to execute him on the spot.

But Yves managed to avoid a fatal injury in a panic, and quickly retreated, putting some distance between himself and Ryan.

Octavia turned her head away silently, unable to bear to look any longer.

Suddenly, a space crack appeared above Yves's head. Seeing this, Ryan immediately shouted, "Alice!"

"Ryan, there's something wrong with this space crack...get out of the way!"

Alice started casting magic the moment she saw the space crack, but she immediately felt something was wrong.

This time the space magic... is very powerful! It is a power that is close to the origin of space!

As Alice finished her words, a huge hand formed by black air suddenly stretched out from the space crack and attacked Ryan!

"It's the Devil who's taking action!" Octavia shouted immediately.

Ryan quickly raised his sword and slashed at the huge hand!

The first moment the palm came into contact with him, Ryan felt a huge force coming, which was even stronger than Octavia and Yves's power!

"boom--"

The huge palm exerted force suddenly, directly forcing Ryan back a long distance. Ryan, who had barely managed to stabilize his body, had his arm trembled slightly, and a string of blood flowed out from his palm and fell to the ground along the hilt of the sword.

Is this... the power of the Demon King?

After forcing Ryan back, the huge hand immediately grabbed Yves and brought him into the crack.

As the crack disappeared, Octavia and Alice ran to Ryan's side:

"Ryan (Sword Rack)! Are you okay?"

"My palm is bleeding a little. Just use healing magic to treat it. It won't have much impact."

Putting away the black sword, Ryan shook his hands and said seriously: "The power of the Demon King... is it so strong?"

This time it was just a simple competition of power between Ryan and the Demon King. In other aspects, Ryan knew nothing about it.

Looking at what happened to Alice just now... could it be that the Demon King's magical attainments have surpassed Alice's?

Putting aside these doubts, Ryan said to the two women: "Let's go to support the battlefield as soon as possible."

"it is good."

? ? ? ?

As soon as Yifu was rescued by the Demon King, the demon army immediately began to retreat.

When Ryan and his group arrived at the battlefield, Kyle was ordering the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Arriving in front of Kyle, Ryan asked, "How many people are left?"

Hearing this, Kyle's face showed bitterness: "We lost a thousand elite beastmen, and the elven mages also lost two hundred despite our utmost protection. Now the total force... is only a little over 30,000."

"Thirty thousand..."

Ryan pondered for a moment and said, "Then we can no longer stalemate with the enemy. We must advance quickly and reach the Demon King's City, otherwise we will have no choice but to retreat."

"Yes, that's what I thought. Before that, the soldiers who have been fighting continuously need to rest for a day. Ryan, you should go and rest first."

"it is good."

After sitting down in the makeshift tent, Ryan asked Alice, "Alice, just now..."

Seeing Ryan's worry, Alice said:

"The Demon King's overall magical attainments should be on par with mine, but in terms of space magic...she is still not as good as me. But I don't know where she got the power of the origin of space magic from, so she is worse than me."

"The power of origin?" Ryan frowned.

Octavia was puzzled: "What is the power of origin?"

"It's the power taken directly from the birthplace of space magic." Alice explained simply and began to ponder.

How could the devil possibly obtain such power?

She had been searching for this kind of power for so many years, and had only seen it in her childhood.

Wait, hours?!

Alice reacted and said to Ryan: "Ryan, quickly summon Xiao Shi."

Hearing what Alice said, Ryan reacted quickly and grabbed Xiao Shi out of his magic space.

At this time, Xiaoshi was hugging a big gold coin as if it were his own life-size pillow and was sleeping soundly.

Being suddenly pulled out by Ryan, Xiao Shi asked in a daze: "Master, what are you doing all of a sudden..."

"Hour."

Alice came over and asked, "Do you feel anything wrong with your body compared to usual?"

"Something's wrong?"

Xiao Shi poked his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Does sleepiness count?"

Ryan was speechless: "Aren't you always sleepy?"

Hour: “Hey hey!”

After sticking out his tongue and acting cute, Xiao Shi continued, "But now that you mention it, I do feel that I am a little sleepier than usual, haha~"

As he said this, Xiao Shi yawned again.

Alice nodded, and Ryan stuffed Xiaoshi back into the magic space, letting Xiaoshi continue to rest.

"The power of the Demon King's origin of space should have been stolen from Xiao Shi." Alice said seriously.

"Is it the time she attacked me pretending to be Dorothy?"

“It must have been that time.”

"Just giving me such a small wound can steal an hour's strength from me?" Ryan was a little bit unbelievable.

"The Demon King has many methods, and it's not surprising that he can do this."

Alice said in a deep voice: "In short, we have to be more careful next time. The Demon King may have some hidden tricks, and even I am afraid I don't have a clue."

Alice said, looking at Octavia again.

If the devil could hide some trick among them, then the most likely possibility was that it was hidden in Octavia.

Octavia also understood this: "Does that require me to keep a certain distance from the sword rack?"

"No." Alice shook her head: "You should try to stay with Ryan. This is the safest way."

Hearing this, Octavia breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as I can continue to stay with the sword rack, there is nothing else to ask for.

After this battle, Octavia and Yves have completely broken up, and Ryan's side is her only place to stay.
