Demon King

Time has passed.

I don't know how long it's been. I do not know the flow of time in a continuously dark dungeon, and I do not sleep because I desperately maintain maximum physical strength in order not to fall asleep.

It was so tiring and hard to stay awake.

I have never been stronger than I am around, but I always care, and if I find an enemy, I have to run immediately and put a knife in my neck before they find me, even if they find me, before they strike back.

I have not forgotten the moment I encountered the Goblin Warrior, and have always tried my best not to repeat the same mistake.

Then I killed and ate a Goblin Fighter. Kill, eat, kill, eat, kill and eat. When I killed many enemies, I used enchantments, swords, and throws to lower my health and horsepower levels, and ate them all up.

It was so painful, but it seemed like it would collapse if I thought it was painful. So I stopped thinking about myself, about my situation. I only thought about exploring, checking for safety, killing and eating my enemies.

Suddenly, a new skill appeared.

[Beginner status immunity skill obtained.]

[Beginner detection skill obtained.]

[Beginner Raid Skill obtained.]

[Beginner Resistance Lv1]

[Slightly resists all status conditions. The higher the skill level, the higher the chance of successful resistance.]

[Beginner Detection Lv1]

[Identify life activities, traps, etc. within a radius of 5 meters around yourself. The higher the skill level, the higher the range and precision.]

[Beginner's Attack Lv1]

[Hide your movements and attack enemies. Invisible hide, when ambushed, corrects the attack power. The higher the skill level, the stronger the effect.]

Detection and ambush were all I was doing, and I was so happy to get them. However, I could not help but tilt my head.

But soon I realized. What I've been doing all this time.

I stay awake and active. It is clear that it is not at least a day or two.

Being able to regain your stamina with the power of predation for a long time while leveling up……. This is to resist sleep. Even if no one cursed me, no paralysis or poisoning, I was already resisting my condition.

I was amazed at the fact that I was pushing myself to accept my natural sleep needs as abnormal, but the acquisition of new skills made me stronger. I decided to consider this skill as a reward for not being able to sleep.

Since then, as time went by, I felt a change in my surroundings.

“Glug!”

“Kiehei!”

“Kiik, Kiehek! ”

There were always three Goblin Fighters at the location of one Goblin Fighter. I was so overwhelmed that I was stunned for a moment, but I could always tell before I entered the hallway because I was using my sensing skills.

Beginner sensing skills have grown the fastest of my skills, so they are now level 6. It became possible to detect up to a 10m radius around me.

‘Quests are about to be fulfilled.... ’

I was conflicted.

Three Goblin Fighters, honestly. Combining the power of a beginner swordsmanship superior to flash-forward magic and goblin fighters was enough to defeat you.

Above all, my level and stats have grown beyond the usual Goblin fighters during the quest.

However, you can safely fight off one Goblin Fighter if you travel to the other passageway. It was just stupid to choose a dangerous path even though there was another safe path.

I nod at my thoughts and move to find another passageway.

However, there were also three Goblin Fighters in the other passageway. I was confused.

‘Why? Why. Because I killed a Goblin fighter and walked around? As long as all Goblins have no outside enemies, they should kill each other without hesitation...! Are Goblin Fighters doing it of their own free will or the dungeon itself? …… No, let's calm down first. ’

Will abnormal resistance help? The moment I was about to panic, a slightly rational thought came into my mind. I took a deep breath to clear up the situation.

Until now, every Goblin fighter has been around until they killed approximately 90 or more Goblin Fighters. The dungeon also produced only one goblin fighter per passageway.

But now there are three Goblin Fighters in both passageways. This is never a natural phenomenon. This is against Goblin instincts, and the rules of the dungeon that do not create more than one Goblin at a time have also been broken.

Other channels won't be that different either.

We don't know why that happened. It's not a question that I have to worry about alone to answer.

Then you have to think about how to do it, but the answer is set.

You have to choose a safe path when there are two paths, but when there is only one path, you have to go that way. Of course, there is no choice in going back.

I went into the passageway. You walk towards the ABC, three goblin fighters in a cluster in the middle of the passageway, killing as many as you can.

My eyes are on their backs. As long as the dungeon passageway has no cover, if one of them turns his head toward me, I'll throw the sword in his chest and pluck out the other.

But the three never looked back at me. I think they're doing their own reconnaissance, but they're just walking side-by-side in one direction. What an idiot!

I'm speeding up at some point. While still killing, you ran for a moment and stabbed a sharp steel sword into the very left trunk of the Goblin Fighter A!

“Kiehei!”

A single blow is enough. Blood fountain rises from the goblin's neck, and he shakes his head.

[You got EXP 100.]

[You got 10 bronze.]

[Goblin Fighter Hunt Predatory 98/100]

[Beginner's Attack has become Lv3.]

“Kiik!”

“Kigigigi!”

Because you ate a lot of Goblin Fighters in the past, the number of predators was ahead of the number of hunts, so after hunting, the quest automatically renewed.

But I don't care about that now. In combat, we remove all thoughts and only fight. It was the first step toward survival.

I drew an iron sword from the neck of a dead Goblin Fighter and kicked him out while attacking two Goblin Fighters.

However, there was only one Goblin Fighter corpse involved, and the Goblin Fighter C swiftly dodged it and rushed towards me.

“Kiehek!”

“Ha!”

I reached out to him with my uncaring hand and used enchantment. With repeated use, it reaches level 3, and at least a little thick strand strikes the Goblin Fighter C, causing it to become rigid for a moment.

I wielded my sword without missing the gap. Blood gushes from his chest.

“Kick!”

Then Goblin Fighter B escapes his comrade's corpse. I lunged straight at the Goblin Fighter C.

Goblin Fighter C stumbles over Goblin Fighter B, missing his sword. A sharp iron sword was inserted deep into the chest of the Goblin Fighter C.

[You got EXP 100.]

[You got 10 Bronze. Collect 10 Silver to enter the exclusive store.]

[Goblin Fighter Hunt & Predatory 99/100]

I pulled a longsword out of my inventory. This is the longer and heavier side of the two swords used by mercenaries that were embedded in the chest of the Goblin Warrior.

The Bastard Sword worn by the Goblin Warrior was so heavy and long that I couldn't handle it yet, but after repeated level ups, I was able to somehow handle the Longsword used by the mercenaries. This was also 70 cm in length.

You must have tried to do something to me while I lost my weapon. The Goblin Fighter swiftly pushes away the body of his comrade and rises to his feet once more, and sees me standing there for a moment. I smiled at his embarrassed face.

And he swings his longsword.

[You got EXP 100.]

[You got 10 bronze.]

[Goblin Fighter Hunt & Predatory 100/100]

[Quest Completed!]
