Demon King

Chapter 12. Jinma Tower 4

After that, I counted the number of times I was killed myself, up to 100 times.

And a hundred more, maybe 200 more.

I was engulfed in a terrible pain that could not escape with blood, despair and faint hope.

And over the course of trying not to be conscious, the gear reaches the mid-range of martial arts skills.

[Lesser martial arts becomes Lv10 and evolves into intermediate martial arts. It pulls out your physical ability to move as much as possible. You can handle weapons as skillfully as a pawn. Increases the power of your weapons and decreases the power of your enemies' weapons. However, a statue with martial arts skills

When fighting against an opponent, that amount is reduced or inverted depending on their skill level.]

Then I was confident of defeating the Trolls.

When I was a Goblin, I gained 1 Strength and 1 Stamina when I was level 1. When I became a Goblin Fighter, it changed to 2. When I became a Hobgoblin, I gained 3 Strength and 1 HP. The last time I became a Hobgoblin Earlter, I climbed four, three, and two.

Therefore, while I was regressing to Hobgoblin, I lost 25% of my axe strength and 50% of my horsepower, while I was regressing to a Goblin fighter, I lost an additional 25% of my strength, 33% of my health, and 80% of my remaining magical strength.

My strength and stamina had barely surpassed 140. The stats raised as a predator did not fall at all, so it was this much. Not to mention the magic. Once you shoot a Black Mine, you become more vulnerable.

Of course, my movements are slower than Trolls. The leap and the beast's charge must be used together to outpace the speed at the very least. And his stamina was also diminished, so he couldn't use them lightly.

I analyzed everything I had and faced over a hundred deaths until I found the most victorious way. From then on, I acted to raise my skills to the level I wanted.

The user wields its sword to use all sorts of skills and put a powerful blow into the chasm of the target.

Even if I get hit by his blunt force in the next moment and my entire head is crushed, even if the wounds I inflicted on the Trolls disappear at the same time as I did in the resurrection, the skill growth from my actions is guaranteed.

[Intermediate Detection is Lv3.]

Death is scary. I don't want to go through it. That's why I was prepared to die to escape death. Terrible pain and suffering, but visible growth made me move. I made them overcome their pain.

[Medium Resistance Lv2.]

[Beginner Beast Charge becomes Lv10 and evolves into Lesser Beast Charge. Moves faster and becomes more powerful when attacking in front of a beast.]

I blew myself up again, pleading that when I got out of here and met the rain, I would surely pour out insults.

[Intermediate Martial Arts is now Lv2.]

The martial arts skill seems to level up more quickly as it fights with the opposing Pokémon. It has a noticeable speed of growth compared to other skills. Luckily, my weakness is what I need first to defeat the Trolls.

But that alone is not enough. It was impossible for a Goblin Fighter to leap over and slit his throat like it was when he was an Earlter or Hobgoblin, even though his skill had become stronger. It lacks the strength and stamina needed to wield a strong sword.

Then how do we defeat him? Where should I get the factors that will fill up my strength and stamina?

I thought the answer was in setting a trap.

[Create Lesser Trap Lv2]

[Staying where you want to set a trap can create the kind of trap you want. The larger the trap you want to build, the more time you need.]

[Allows you to create two traps at once. The higher the level, the less time it takes to create the types of traps that can be created, their power, and their traps. Ingredients can be consumed to make the Trap creation time shorter and more powerful. The created trap must fulfill its purpose.

or disappears after a certain amount of time.]

Among the skills I was able to attack my target, the only skill that did not consume my health or magical power was creating a trap.

Time and ingredient items spent on activating this skill. This was a particularly heterogeneous skill among the skills and was directional from magic.

It was special enough to make it a special sale at a private store, and it was also a skill I desperately needed right now, as if the rain had predicted my situation in advance.

I have earned the ‘time’ necessary to make that trap using my skills of superiority compared to my opponent, intermediate martial arts. Of course, the surprise and fairy tale were also essentially with him.

As it merged, he kept me in sight and couldn't find my presence.

Just like I did with Ei in front of me.

“Oooh?”

Trap creation has advanced to a lesser extent that it can be used effectively in practice, but the time it takes to build a trap is unbelievably long.

No matter how advanced my skills were, I needed luck to create a secret trap without being discovered by Trolls for a long time.

If they find out, they'll die, and if they don't, they'll be able to attack him. I've already died dozens of times.

“Kuooooooooo!”

The Trolls unleashed chaos upon me and struck down everything around them with weapons. I moved carefully on the line that did not fail to create the trap, avoiding the attack and focusing on not revealing my movements.

I was amazed at myself for being able to show such a skill by placing an enemy right in front of me.

And I finally managed to set a trap. It's called a mousetrap. A mousetrap that suddenly appears on the bottom of the troll's foot, which was within range of being able to create a trap.

For a Troll, it's just a small thing to let go of in one irritating move, but for me, the amount of time he was moving around for something else was too precious.

“Kuoooooo!”

I recognized that he was trapped in a rat trap and moved as soon as I shouted. Leap and the rush of the beast were saved for this moment.

“Rrrrgh!”

All I ever wanted was one little finger. If it is still thicker than this, it is difficult to cut it at once, and if it cannot be cut at once, it is impossible to deal permanent damage to it.

And it becomes impossible to recover my health spent.

I chewed his little finger and fell back. However, I had already begun to create other traps, so I did not have much range of movement. If I don't hide my movements from him, I'm going to die. You don't have to run away.

All it takes is a surprise and fairy tale combo to move just enough to keep him from holding my position.

[Beginner Tale becomes Lv10 and evolves into Lesser Tale. It melts more naturally into the surrounding environment and increases the damage corrected by surprise.]

Finally, a fairy tale with slow venomous growth has finally evolved to a lesser extent. I hid myself from the Trolls using a fairy tale of increasing power before I was happy, and the Trolls ran wild without even knowing where I was in the fury of losing their fingers.

But not yet. He's trying to lure me in like that.

All I do is move when he's trapped. It is time for him to know his place and not be able to fill it.

‘Let's end it this time. ’

The conditions have been met. It was time to raise the Beacon of Counter.

You hide yourself thoroughly, buy time to set a trap, fuck with the Trolls, and cut off his fingers and toes. I erased all other thoughts, leaving only the idea of not dying anymore. I only focused on the next area I was aiming at.

He drops his weapon. I lost three fingers on my right hand. I took turns eating his life-rich fingers and toes, so I was holding my strength, and ever since then, his seemingly infinite strength began to wane.

“Kuoooo!”

You cut off another one of his toes in an attempt to kick a Troll. If he doesn't go out more boldly now that he's lost his weapon, I'm going to run out of stamina and miss the battle I've captured.

I knew he would swing his arm as soon as he took my position, but his attack range was shortened due to the loss of his weapon. He was not adapting to it, and I was fully aware of myself enough to avoid it, even with the body of a goblin fighter.

You cut off the other one's finger. And one more thing. However, by the time he was able to rebuild the trap, he suddenly fell head-on. Of course I was there.

"Hehe!"

Did the Trolls who thought they couldn't catch me with their arms and legs crush me with their bare hands, then think about taking me out? I was imagining, but the giant creature that felt above my head was frightening enough to think of death instantly.

But he was overconfident. Almost all of the missing toes were falling in a direction that was slightly off of me due to the misdirection they were heading when they fell.

We can't miss this opportunity. I rushed straight into it in the direction I wanted as soon as it became possible to trigger the trap. Leap and Charge of Beasts also leveled up, making them much faster than Trolls that are just falling!

“Karaoke!”

Suddenly, a thick, sharp window bursts out of the floor. The spear that soared through the sky pierced the Troll's belly, then snapped and ricocheted for a moment, but managed to adjust it to fall in the direction I wanted.

And as I pushed forward, I slashed off the last two toes I had left of him!

“Kuoooooo!”

The screams of the Trolls really cheered me up. I plunged my toes into his mouth, plunging them into the air, plunging them to the side of his torso, and once again stabbed him in the leg before he could rise.

Of course, it was impossible to cut through the legs, but the massive blood spilled from him drenched my whole body, restoring the durability of my sword, armor, and health.

‘If there is only one enemy, you can eat and hunt. ’

Of course, the disadvantage of me being a retard when I go against my prediction for even a single moment, but this moment, created at the end of hundreds of deaths, was working perfectly for me.

“Khh! Khh! ”

Trolls groan and try to get up, but even if he is a mid-level monster, losing all their toes and getting up seems to be hard.

Of course, the monster basically succeeded at a different structure than humans, but in the meantime, I was doing it twice again. I could see it in my eyes. His recovery is beginning to slow.

The victory is inclined. If he cannot regenerate the defective part of his body, it is my victory. I still carefully examined him, just in case, but in the end, he was unable to regenerate his lost fingers and toes.

I cut his head off. At one time, it was too much and I didn't think it was possible. Slowly, over several times, I cut off his body parts and gradually cut off his neck, restoring my strength.

And in the end, he lost his life to me with the body of a goblin fighter.

“Huff, puff... ”

“…… there's only one left. ”

Aega suddenly said that while watching me bite the neck of a Troll, breathing heavily.

One. A Goblin.

The body that first opened my eyes after I died, giving me a feeling of despair and a faint hope like the morning dew.

I ate the trolls slowly and slowly.

Compared to the Hobgoblin Earlter, my stomach has shrunk considerably, but since I was able to work on the intact Trolls to their death and replenish my stamina, my stomach should have supplied all of my predatory flesh, blood and bones as nutrients without any gaps.

[Lesser regeneration is Lv3.]

After the feast, I opened my eyes.

Mental fatigue, but physical fatigue no longer exists. It was fortunate for me to think of the opponent as a Troll. There won't be monsters like him to enhance the effectiveness of their prey.

“The first trajectory. Are you ready for battle? ”

Ei checked on me one last time. When I was a Goblin Fighter, I didn't even ask, but I guess I felt a guilty conscience as I watched as I was dying.

I answered.

“Yes."

A Troll has appeared. Unlike the Troll I just defeated, a Troll so vigorous and armed with a threat weapon.

He ran to me, and I turned into a Goblin and smiled bitterly at his miserable condition. This was too much. There was a small difference between Goblin Fighters and Goblins enough to surpass Hopgoblin and Goblin Fighters.

Trolls came to my attention while I was thinking briefly.

[Lesser Trap created to Lv3.]

And from the moment I realized that I could create two traps simultaneously by creating a lower trap, 'I took the time to this moment to fall into the big, deep trap I created.
