But for Ryan, one thing was certain: he had no intention of being overconfident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The largest of the three was hard to ignore. He was massive in a way that went beyond what Ryan would expect even from an archdemon, a mass of muscle that made the mace in his hand look small, though in reality, it was so heavy it would have crushed the ground if he let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the shield on his other arm was the size of a door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archdemon who had two enormous bracers on his wrists and nothing else visible as a weapon, which Ryan interpreted as a relic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the third carried a scythe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the scythe that made him stop internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen it before. Or rather, he had seen the one who carried it, though at that time it was from very far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember it, the day we left the A-rank dungeon. Right where we encountered Solaris,\" Ryan murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the demon gave no sign of recognizing him. He looked at him as what he believed him to be—a holy knight who had appeared alone in demonic territory riding a wyvern, which in normal circumstances would be exactly as absurd as it sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask what a holy knight is doing here?\" the one with the scythe asked, leaning the weapon over his shoulder with a studied calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you think you’re quite far from home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ryan could respond, the largest of them took a step forward, looking at the wyvern with an expression that, in a human, would have looked like greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to keep that wyvern. Can I have it this time? You guys always get the best rewards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one with the scythe let out a burst of laughter that was lost in the cold wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And how do you plan to ride it, being so heavy? You’ll just kill it by crushing it. Forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big guy frowned but didn’t respond, which suggested he didn’t have a good argument against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan sighed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t exactly impatience. It was more the resignation of someone who had more urgent matters to attend to and was forced to make a stop that wasn’t in the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about you stop wasting my time and just fight already?\" he said, adjusting the boomerang on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took the magic inventory out of his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’For now, I’ll put it away; I don’t plan to spend much time on them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one with the bracers looked at him as if he had just heard an insect’s complaint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s with this idiot? Are you that eager to die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah, whatever,\" Ryan said as he put away the boomerang that had been resting on his shoulder, sliding it into his inventory without taking his eyes off the three archdemons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just fight. I’ll kill you quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one with the scythe let the blade of his weapon drop against the snow and observed him with an expression as if evaluating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re very confident for someone alone. Or you’re buying time.\" The scythe blade scratched the snow as he dragged it slowly. \"Tell me, how many came with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan didn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one with the scythe fixed his gaze on the weapon at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That weapon,\" he said slowly. \"It radiates a very interesting power; I’ll take it once I kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think so? I invite you to try,\" Ryan replied, placing his right hand on the hilt of his chimera sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the archdemon with the massive weapon attacked, and Ryan jumped, avoiding the strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unsheathed his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound echoed throughout the place; the scythe demon remained in the same spot, but now his weapon’s blade was clashing with Ryan’s unsheathed sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan pushed it back with the sword while still in the air, and received five more attacks in a row as he fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archdemon’s scythe was connected to him by a long, black chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re more skilled than you look,\" the scythe demon said as he called it back to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ryan jumped backward, and exactly where he had been a few moments ago, the ground exploded from the impact of the demon with the massive mace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, this idiot has good instincts,\" the giant commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one with the bracers seemed to lose his patience before the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me handle this moron. We’ll figure out how to divide his gear later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a step forward, stretched his hand toward Ryan with his fingers pointing directly at him, and opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire b...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fireball?\" Ryan cut the phrase before the archdemon could finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That technique belongs in an ossuary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one with the bracers slowly closed his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn you.\" His voice dropped a pitch. \"You don’t know how to keep your mouth shut, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan didn’t change his stance. Keeping his sword drawn, he prepared for any attack that might come from the archdemons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t it the truth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood with his feet planted in the snow, watching them with the expression of someone expecting a trap before a duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when the demon with the bracers began to laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath Ryan’s feet began to heat up rapidly. As if something beneath the snow was waking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan lowered his gaze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A circle of fire charging from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this was supposed to be a surprise attack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-05T15:18:53.248Z",1,"novelbin.me","b784d197ab730e78de2085897b4335748ecac639b3a94549d07749bfd6a3a1a6","s-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-chapter-126","s-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-chapter-124",176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fs-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-cover.jpg"]
