Demon King

The first thing I looked for was fear.

Fear of not being able to return to the Hobgoblin Assembler was the first thing. And the second fear was that Hobgoblin was not the end.

The trajectory I passed... That is, the monster I passed through. Even if I defeat a Troll here, I will have to defeat him with a Goblin Fighter body and a Goblin body again.

Goblins? You mean you have to deal with Trolls with that weak Goblin body?

“Ahh!”

“Once you enter the tower, you cannot go back without conquering it. ”

Ei graciously cut me off in advance. With a very bold voice.

“If it wasn't possible, I couldn't come in. Therefore, it is possible for Fate. ”

“That kind of fire……. ”

The moment after I was about to protest against Ei, I hurriedly threw myself on the spot. It's because the Trolls' huge weapons were flying towards me. Unlike me, weakened, still ferocious, fast.

But I made a big mistake. My strength was significantly reduced compared to that of the early days, but I was able to remember my enemies who were Hopgoblins and move on.

“Kuaaaa!”

“Queek!”

As a result, I was struck on the right shoulder by his weapon without completely avoiding his attack. I was glad I couldn't see now. I can imagine what my shoulders and arms must have been like.

A single moment of intense shock and then a dreadful pain, but if you slow down because of the pain now, you will face even more terrible pain.

“Find your victory in the cycle of death. It is really about overcoming death. ”

“I don't want to... die!" ”

I clenched my teeth and flew to the side, but the Trolls chased me as if they weren't satisfied with one arm.

Although he was distant from the beast while simultaneously skimming the leap and the beast's charge, the combination of the leap and the beast's charged was like a double-edged sword. There is no target of predation at this time. Somehow, before I run out of stamina, it's time to take care of him.

All of you!

Fortunately, only my level and skills remain intact. The only thing that falls is my physical ability and my magical power. It was already fatal at the time, but at least I still had a chance. With the power of skills and swords, I can still inflict a critical hit on him.

Being a Goblin will be hard, but I can't worry about anything that hasn't already happened. I'm doing what I can right now. If we don't defeat him, the only thing that awaits is the agony of death!

Shorter hours, stronger, deeper.

We had to attack him.

“Kuoooooo!”

His dull head still remains unchanged. They just recognize me, rush to kill me, and attack the big hole they see. Haven't you already fought him once and figured out all that simple, unparalleled brain?

Reads the creature's movements, dodges an attack, and puts the sword in a more deadly position. That way you can win.

I move, my right arm paralyzed, but I hold out the sword in my left hand sharply like a fang.

Recover the Hobgoblin senses. I embrace my lack of self and find the best way to move with my lack of body!

“Kuaak!”

The Trolls also sensed my hostility, shouting for my will. I didn't listen to it and hit the floor.

Leap is not yet adept. Leap and dash of the beast are only used to bite his neck!

The blunt force flies.

I was sure when it broke my shoulder. It's just a big, blunt club without a hitch. But because it was heard from the Trolls, it's powerful enough to be terrible.

I can't take that back.

I took a leap. His weapon grazed my side, leaping into the air. Even his arm, which wanted to grab my torso a little later, had already been through several times and was completely understood.

A beast charge was used during leap. He couldn't read my sudden, fast-paced movements, and in the end, his arms and arms had to be satisfied with slicing through the air.

And in front of me was the neck of a man who, though invisible, could feel it vividly with intermediate sensing. I stretched out the blood shadow that harbored the power of the Power Attack and chewed through the flesh with a sharp blade.

[Lesser power attack now at Lv4.]

Blood spills out.Blood full of his vitality. I swiped it with my sword and swallowed it with my body. I feel my tired body getting more energized.

Yes. You can't recover your stamina from predation, but there is only one way to recover your stamina.

To wound a Troll and absorb its blood in an instant. It's not as effective as eating and filling Mana, but at this moment, his blood is as strong as mine.

“Rrrrghhh!”

“Hmm.”

You hear Trolls scream and Ei's voice at the same time. It didn't matter whether Ei was disappointed in me, impressed, or how he or others felt.

I just drained all the blood and landed on the ground, rolling the floor in a frenzy to avoid being kicked by the angry young Trolls.

"You can't die. ’

The word 'safe’ that Rain and Ei said no longer reassured me. The excruciating moment of shredding my shoulders blew every thought in my head.

Even if you don't die, the terrible pain remains.

It's not just pain. The moment of death is truly terrible. I never want to feel like I'm falling to the ground again.

Above all, I was afraid that I would never be able to defeat him when I felt safe that I could come back to life even if I was killed by Trolls.

That's why I was desperate. I rolled the floor, hid the plot, and assimilated with the darkness.

He opened an unstoppable gap, bit me like a villain, and raised my senses to the best of my ability to avoid further injury.

A second time, I slit his throat. I twisted myself just before I hit his forearm, carved a blade deep into his neck. You dip a ton of blood from him and drop him back to the ground.

He screams and stirs, but I no longer make the same mistake as before.

[Lesser Martial Arts is Lv6.]

[Intermediate Detection is Lv4.]

Skills have grown so fast that they have never grown in the past. I've felt it several times before, but the more desperate I was, the higher the concentration, the faster my skills grew.

I am not able to create desperate situations on purpose, nor am I limited in my focus in situations where I am not desperate.

In that sense, the situation was at least the best place to grow your skills. The safe training ground the rain was talking about, maybe that's what it meant.

[Lesser Leap is Lv6.]

[Beginner Tale is now Lv9.]

[Lesser resistance becomes Lv10 and evolves to Moderate resistance. You will not be affected at all by a low level condition, and you will have a better chance of resisting a higher status condition.]

There were not many opportunities. The time given was not long. The Troll's regeneration speed was about to be processed, and I had to inflict a deeper wound on him than I did when I was Hobgoblin Ashter to gain the chance to defeat him.

[Intermediate Blitz is Lv4.]

“Khh!? ”

Nevertheless, I was able to cut his head off with a fourth power attack.

But as you've already experienced, the last step is to regenerate a damn Troll once you believe it's been cut completely. It is to revive yourself, even though it should be dead. The severed neck and the head!

I couldn't let that happen this time. As bodily fluids rise from the junction and attempt to reconnect the fallen head to the neck, I squeeze out all remaining stamina and bash his head against my shoulders. It flew into the air and got my full tackle before it connected to my neck.

And the trunk that lost its neck collapsed to the ground.

“Huff, puff... ”

I fell straight down onto the troll's body, breathed for a moment without any balance. When the concentration that was close to the extreme calmed down, the pain that I had endured all this time suddenly came to me.

You win. Your body is in chaos, but you managed to take him down anyway. I couldn't believe it even when I did it myself.

But it hurts. If we don't heal our wounds right now, our victory will be in vain soon. I took a careful breath, and as soon as I could move my body, I started eating Trolls.

The Trolls' flesh is clearly more than twice as effective as other monsters. I only ate off one arm, but all of my bodily injuries were gone, and it was full of strength and magic.

Of course it was because I was weakened by Hobgoblin, but there was definitely a difference that could not be explained by itself.

At that point, I asked Ei, who was still watching me over the tall wall.

“Well, if we don't finish this, we move on to the next step. ”

“The body disappears. ”

As if she knew what I was thinking, A. was in a hurry. I ignored him and tried to test the Troll's corpse into the inventory, but now I see that Jinma's Tower hasn't even opened its inventory at all.

In an emergency, I was fooled into thinking I could eat two corpses in my inventory.

As I returned to the Fountain, the joy of winning the battle suddenly disappeared and more horror came to me than before.

I caught a Troll after all this hardwork.I can't believe I'm so weak here again. Goblin Fighter, you're going to be that weak, little monster?

“It's physically impossible...! ”

“Possible."

As if to speak to myself, Ey immediately rebuked me. And I insisted.

“Paint is possible. ”

I ate a whole troll on the spot.

Immediately, I returned to the Goblin Fighter, and Ei called the Trolls again without giving me time to prepare my mind.

“Kuooo!”

“Phew, damn it...! ”

There is an enormous gap between the lesser monster and the lesser monster. I couldn't do what I could, and it was hard to even swing the sword as much as I wanted.

I wish I could fight back against the running Trolls. But I was overwhelmed by just picking up a weakened body.

By the time I realized it, a giant blunt force was flying towards my head. The moment I dodged it, I wondered if his other hand flew off, and the whole world fell apart.

Terrible excruciating pain that won't even scream, and despair that consciousness will consume you.

But when I woke up, I was still there. With the body of a goblin fighter, you stand there as if nothing had happened. I did not understand how this was possible, but I was surprised at myself because I thought it was natural to just live like this.

And even later, the Trolls showed a new face. A hateful creature who shattered my head and tore my torso to pieces!

“…… until. ”

I split my teeth. The fragrance of pain and rising anger moved me again.

Ai was still watching me, and the Trolls rushed towards me like they had never seen before.

I will kill him and devour him without leaving a single mark.

I only moved with that union.
