Demon King

I had no choice but to rely on detection because it was an invisible situation. If detection hadn't gone up intermediate, I would have been much more embarrassed than I am now.

I desperately searched for him. In fact, it was just as easy to eat as exploring A a while ago.

First of all, his height is well over two meters. He was running toward me from a distance, and he was holding something in his right hand. And it was swinging right at my head.

I immediately concluded. He has higher detection skills than I do, or is not affected by this darkness!

I took the leap and the rush of the beast simultaneously to the side. Something he did, presumably with a giant blunt force, ripped through my position and caused a terrible rift.

The moment he attacked, the moment I was so far from his sight that I hit the walls of the Arena. I hid myself with the expression of surprise and fairy tales.

“Oooh?”

Trolls tilt their heads in a silly voice. I almost stopped laughing.

You have better sensing skills than me? No way! He's just not affected by the Darkness!

“Ooh, ooh, ooh!”

But what he did at the next moment exceeded my expectations. He stomps on the ground with his feet, grumbling in fury, and smashes the ground several times.

I felt a tremor coming from the earth, and I was instantly struck by his power.

He's picking me up on this vibration!

Damn it!

Immediately, I flew away from my seat. Just after that, he erased the distance between me and him all at once and rushed into my place.

A blunt force that severs the air with him. It was so powerful that the wind that caused me pushed my body back.

If you hadn't realized the meaning of his bizarre behavior, you would have had to give one of his limbs a few moments ago.

But you can't run forever. As long as I use predatory skills, my stamina is infinite, but there is no food for me to eat here! In urgent situations, you can eat the two bodies stored in your inventory, but that's common sense.

You struggle to figure out his features while wandering through the arena, avoiding the heavy and powerful blow from him.

First of all, he's slow. When I master surprise and fairy tales, I miss my position in no time. But that doesn't mean it's ignorant. He's a hunter who knows how to hunt after all.

His power is strong. Damn strong. Strongest of all the enemies I've ever met.

It doesn't have the magical power to replace it.

The decision on how to attack him is swift. I attack a man who missed my position momentarily after I almost dodged his attack. It's a slit throat.

Of course, sensing allowed me to draw even his approximate body line now. He had already figured out where his neck was attached. All that remains is an attack.

‘Good.'

At that time, the notification window clearly explained the Hopgoblin Athlete. He has the ability to catch even middle-class monsters by himself.

With my predatory skills and the Dark Heart, I was stronger than a normal sledger. There's no way I couldn't catch a Troll.

The peaceful black heart, which had been experiencing the massive appearance of War Wolf and Battle Spider, is now beating with its eyes open again.

My opponent is much better than I am now. But an opponent that can be beaten any size. My heart was speaking to me. I can't lose to a witch. It was a moment that matched my heart.

After fixing my mind, I lunged at him. Of course he's coming at me, too.

A swinging blunt force. The moment you duck and avoid it, his big, empty arms sweep across the floor. This was also expected. I jumped over it lightly and hid my wits.

“Wooooo!”

You've been beaten up by me a few times and then you get angry again. He made a frenzied mess the moment I lost my wits. But by then, I was already flying up to his neck with the power of the leap.

“Oooh!”

The moment he realizes it, a shadow of blood slits his throat. A sword with a strong power, flooded with power tacks and black lightning, rips his thick hide and cuts it deep into his neck.

Suddenly, the blood spattered my sword and body, so I could see how fatal the wound was.

How sweet his blood tastes.

“Khhhhhhh!”

The sound of his screams echoing in the arena. As soon as I landed on the ground, I kept my distance from him.

The moment I tasted his blood, I realized. There's no way we can end that monster in one shot.

His blood was full of life force. The power of life to rush headlessly will not let him die unless his throat is run dry or his whole body is drained of blood.

I still feel it now. The neck of a man who had been snapped at an angle he couldn't handle to be attacked by me, is boiling and coming to his place right now.

I don't have the means to draw all of his blood, so there's only one way left. Cut his head off.

‘The more hesitant I am, the faster his wound will heal. So we need to get a deeper wound before we have a chance to kill him. ’

My Mana is not recovering indefinitely now. So I don't have much of a chance. Five. I had to finish him off in five strikes.

Of course, in the meantime, we mustn't allow even a single blow to him. One more hit and I'm dead.

Okay. Okay.

The thumping heartbeat spreads through my body, and I rush back to him again.

I could feel Ei's gaze piercing me, the Arena manager, but I didn't care. My nerves were all focused on the enemy, the Trolls.

His neck. His neck hasn't fully healed yet. On the neck of the blood that felt like the water of life to me!

When I first met a werewolf. When I was fighting a battle spider. I had to struggle with the awkward acceleration of war wolves, the elusive spraying of battle spiders, and so on.

Of course, they were strong, but they knew how to attack the opponent ‘when they weren't ready’ in battle. They have the power to outpace and exceed the target's speed and expectations.

But the Trolls were different from them in many ways. Simple, powerful His speed was not slow either, but he believed in the overwhelming resilience of his body and just swung his weapon with dignity.

I may be caught off guard for a moment, but there were so many things I learned rolling the dungeon to get to it.

“Wooooooo!”

“Tsk!”

I put a sword to his throat somehow, avoiding all his attacks. Without the leap and the beast's charge, it would have been impossible.

The heart of darkness gave me strength. It gives you constant focus and strength to continue the battle. However, the limit was going to come soon, unless there was more predation.

It made me move faster.

He fires three more shots, and they're all on his neck. However, by the fourth stroke, I was sure that I had ripped his throat out, but I could feel his head sticking to my neck again, which appeared to have been cut off momentarily.

I couldn't see it with my own eyes because I couldn't see it, but it would have been a good sight for Grotesque.

But it was clear that such ridiculous levels of regeneration would put a permanent burden on him. I could tell that I was looking at him with my whole body focused on nerves.

The junction of his neck, which was cut once by my sword, is so fragile that it can't recover for a minute or two now. Recovery is not working.

I was sure.

Go ahead.

If you hit it one more time, you can kill it.

“Kuooooooooo!”

The sound of the threatening shouts from the Trolls now feels like a handset. I lunged at him without shrinking a bit.

He knows I'm a surprise fighter the moment he attacks, so he doesn't swing his weapon around any more.

Of course, that doesn't change anything. I ran relentlessly through the unseen darkness and struck the blood shadow. It's just me and the two of us in the wider arena. I was confident that I could describe his face now.

[Intermediate Detection is Lv3.]

You lunge forward. The troll seems to be holding back until it reaches its limit, but I detect a flickering moment in his right thigh muscle, which was detecting only his movements.

I predicted the angle at which it flew and swiftly flew away. The rush and leap of the beast now naturally assisted me.

But there was an unexpected element. Suddenly, a long, sharp claw appeared from the toes of the man who had been thought to be blunt!

"Oops!"

Usually this would be a beast's charge, but there's no way to prepare for it now that it's already been written! I gripped it and was prepared for a collision.

Sharp claws protrude from his toes and scratch at the boots in Iron Armor. My torso catches on to it, aiming for a moment of pause, and its weapon flashes at me horizontally across the air.

If we stay still, we'll only get hit by a blunt force and be finished. However, if he reaches out his sword, Lee Mang will welcome him. Then……!

I've picked up his whole body senses, picking up on his neck, and picking up his wounds much faster than I've ever recovered before. The center of the wound is still slowly healing!

He pushes all of his remaining magical power at me and throws down his sword.

“Rrrrgh!”

A shadow of blood mixed with bloodshed and black lightning pierces the air like lightning and sticks it into his neck. And at the same time, the flames and lightning were released. His scream echoes through my eardrum.

His weapon never blew my stomach, and as soon as I threw it out, I was powerless to stay in the air and fell to the ground.

I'm picking up his movements, rolling back and forth swiftly. I don't have Manado anymore. I don't have stamina. I hope he's dead!

“ ……! ”

He makes a voice. However, the voice mixed with blood and sputum did not even have a proper shout or scream.

And the next moment, the bowl fell to the ground, dropping backwards. With a thump, the shadow of blood still lodged in his throat rises into the air.

I retrieved the sword and slowly approached him. I've searched him thoroughly with my senses, but he's no longer moved. He's dead.

“Phew.”

I just loosened up. A sigh of relief came out.

I was surprised that I didn't get experience from him even after I died, but I managed to win the victory against the monsters.

I turned my back on my indiscretion. because I knew there was an "A" over there.

But he didn't say anything. I was just looking at me quietly. I thought so.

I've had my fill. The moment after the EXP didn't come in, I thought, "Was this Troll a fiction? ’Though it was a little while after death, his body remained where it was. The weapon appears to be missing, but the body remains intact.

So what do we do now? Of course, there is only one.

“I'll eat well. ”

I grabbed the Troll's head first. I had anticipated from the beginning, but his flesh was tough and tasteless, but the blood in it was so sweet and cool.

It was like eating a Dathan fruit, not meat.

“Ah.”

Even after I lost my life, the blood of the man who had not completely lost his power flowed into me, removing all the wounds I had. The resilience was trembling.

His blood was life itself. A single sip of this gave power to my whole body. It was so exhilarating to eat.

I ate all the Trolls on the spot. Not a drop of blood left.

[Beginner regeneration is Lv9.]

Trolls must possess superior or better regenerative skills. I only ate one, but it was clear when I saw my skill level go up. It was worth fighting over just seeing this notification.

Ei was just watching me without saying anything, and when I got up from the feast, he said,

“Then move on to the next step. ”

“What's next? The first floor of Jinma's tower that just flew.... ”

I stopped talking.

By the way, the quest has not been updated.

Even when I opened the quest window, it was still [Conquest of Jinma Tower 1st Floor 0/10].

At that moment, the black heart beats loudly.

A terrible shock pierced my whole body like lightning.

“…… sleep. ”

My body trembled. Now I'm instinctively realizing what she said earlier.

No, no, no.

Strengthens muscles.

Weakens the heart rate.

The bone is more retracted.

Reduces the HP of blood.

Mana's spring grows smaller.

No! I cried desperately, but I couldn't stop the change. It was already over.

“There are four shapes drawn on the trajectory where Paint passed. Hobgoblin Ashter, Hobgoblin, Goblin Fighter, Goblin. ”

Ei said confidently.

“How, no...! ”

I clenched my fist tightly, shaking my teeth.

I had already realized. The change was over, and my body was smaller, humbled.

“When all of them come together, the first floor of Jinma's tower is conquered. ”

“Kuooooooooooo!”

Once again, the Trolls appear in front of me after I have retreated from Hobgoblin Ashter to a simple Hobgoblin.
