Demon King

“Ugh!? ”

I rolled the floor into an unexpected shock. Furthermore, at that moment, a knight outside the blast came rushing towards me as if waiting.

“Grrrgh!"

While my vision was shaking and my ears were ringing, I bounced off the floor with a leap skill that I had to avoid.

“Kiik!”

A sword was barely stuck where I was, and I saw the Goblin King's eyes chasing me, rising into the air. The way he looked at me was like the way a snake looked at a frog.

Just as he's been waiting for this moment from the beginning, he reaches out to me with joyful eyes.

Sensitivity in the palms of your hands, as if it were a flower, is a powerful flame that senses destruction!

“Glug... Die! ”

Just as he waited for the best timing, I also felt that this is the moment I've been waiting for.

I calculated my line of motion while staying in the air for less than a second, triggering the skill of the ring just before the giant Flame Cannonball he fired was right at me!

“Kuaaaak!”

The moment after the flame seemed to envelop me, the Goblin King's body burned with a red flame. Maybe using Flame Magic will make you more flame-resistant. I could see his body burning rapidly.

“Kiehei!”

The Goblin King screams and wields his sword. But what he chose was not creation, but an explosion of Goblins.

No, maybe there's a limit to the ability of that sword, so maybe the only thing left to do now is explode. If his mental state were normal, he should have taken the defensive side rather than the attack by now.

I triggered a leap skill right after landing on the ground and ran to him. There's no turning back from the blast now. You rely solely on the armor's defensive strength. It hurt so much, but I ignored it. You don't have to die. If you don't die!

By the time I got through the last blast, there was nothing between him and me. His eyes were so refreshing.

“Kiik!”

The end of the blade I stretched went past the Goblin King's neck. Then a strand of blood gushes from his neck, and the moment he reaches out to me with his eyes wide open.

“Kiei!”

His eyes light up in a strange green glow. The moment I realized it, my heart was beating at a rapid rate throughout the entire battle, thumping and trembling.

Why? The Goblin King exclaims after a brief question.

“Obey me! ”

When I thought he was talking nonsense, my hand, with the sword, went down very slightly. I tried to cut him down, but my hands wouldn't move.

“Kick, kick!"

He smiles. A truly sinister smile, just as he knew it would come to this.

Did the Goblin King have the ability to manipulate his enemies? A mixture of embarrassment and anger dominated my mind.

“The subject of the pyramid... Kick! Quite annoying.”

He stands up with his back extended and shouts. So arrogant.

“You'll be my bodyguard from now on! ”

At that moment, the heart of darkness beat roughly.

[Lesser resistance Lv4.]

It was like a frenzy. Every time the heart of darkness beat, it was like the blood of the whole body was on fire. My whole body trembled.

My heart was beating. I was scolding myself for trivial abilities and peeling off the veil of hidden power.

A notification window appeared before my eyes.

[Heart of Darkness]

[Can detect a crisis. Positively calibrates all combat activities. Infinitely evolves the body as it grows. Bounce away all mental magic. "?]

I raise my sword. As soon as the Goblin King tilted his head and opened his mouth again to give me instructions, I took all the Mana I had left and threw it out.

The blade was inserted into the exact spot where it had already been cut deep, releasing the black lightning that had poured out all my Mana.

“What-what the...! ”

“Die!”

The moment the Goblin King's neck snapped into thin air, the explosion continued to stop. No, it wasn't like that. All the Goblins who were still alive disappeared.

[EXP 12,860 obtained.]

[You got 10 Silver for 1 Gold.]

[Beginner Power Attack is Lv6.]

The Goblin King's sword falls to the ground, producing a metallic burst. A moment later, the blade melts into the ground, leaving only red jewels. Soon, it was gone too. It was the same with the quality leather armor he was wearing.

[You have obtained the ‘Pelcardia Jewel – Enemy’.]

[You have obtained the 'Leather Armor of Quesia'.]

Into my inventory.

“Phew, Phew... ”

I looked around as I picked up Bastard. Really, all the Goblins disappeared, and now I'm the only one left in that vast cavity.

No, it's not. The chair where the Goblin King was sitting disappeared, and there was a hollow wooden box, and a large hole formed in the wall that was clogged.

I had a hunch that was the entrance to 2F.

I was right.

“…… I'm really, really tired. ”

If you weren't curious about the second floor, you were lying, but for now I wanted to rest a little. It was a terrible experience when my body didn't move on my own. There was still cold sweat on my forehead.

It was an unparalleled horror compared to lower flame magic. Maybe it was because I couldn't prepare at all.

But I understood why the rain gave contrast to fire magic and not to mental magic.

Because you don't have to.

He never thought I'd be bewitched by the Goblin King in the first place.

He knows about my dark heart. Better than me.Of course, if you ask, you won't answer. But I also thought that I would realize myself when I needed to, without having to ask. Just like today.

“I wish I had said something. He's a very bad man. ”

Even so, it's no different than preparing for an attack and preventing it from coming suddenly!

I gritted my teeth and cursed him, and I lay there and rested. That's how tired I was.

I was so scared. I thought I was going to die this time.

Nothing was ever easily solved. It was a series of extreme tensions, mindless of flames and explosions.

If you don't eat it, the quest won't be solved.

If not eaten, stats will not increase.

If you don't eat, you won't get skills. If you don't eat, you won't be able to evolve.

I stood up.What I saw in front of the Goblin King was neither a large nor a small corpse. I'd love to burn it, but I can't.

I sighed, picked up his head and muttered.

“I'll eat well. ”
