Demon King

“ ……. ”

Ai didn't say anything. I didn't expect his answer either, and I raised my sword looking down at the immobilized troll who fell into a deep, narrow pit. Hard, hard. No, I can't use the sword.

“Kuoooooo! Kuoooooo! ”

“I can't. ”

How much trouble I had to endure to defeat the Trolls with a Goblin Fighter's body. So naturally, Goblins could naturally predict that no matter how high the skill level, an unnaturally high wall would appear that would not be able to surpass even if they were familiar with the Troll's pattern.

That's why I started building a single trap from the moment I learned that I could create two traps at once by creating a lower trap.

Instead of using Goblin Fighters' bodies against Trolls, this is another trap. A trap for Trolls to face as Goblins.

I had to die dozens of times because I didn't get out of there much, but I didn't care how many times I died after realizing that my time invested in creating the trap was not in vain.

I keep hearing the thought that if I don't trigger another trap, I won't be able to defeat the Trolls with the body of a Goblin Fighter, but I ignore it.

Eventually, I made it, and I was able to build the trap I wanted by slowly devouring the trolls.

There was some anxiety about whether or not the time was reset in the process of the Trolls reappearing. If it had been reset, I would have had to endure an endless number of beatings and create a new trap.

It must have been a terribly painful process, but in reality it was the only way to win over the Trolls.

But it wasn't. It did not reset.

And now the Trolls are stuck in a pit built just for him.

“Then.”

But now my strength is too weak. Even the sword is not lifting properly. When you activate a Power Attack or Black Lightning, the reaction of the sword adds momentarily. Skill Activation is a dream.

How do you do it? You practice magic with a rattail, and the Blood Shadow is the only thing holding it. How do you kill Trolls?

There was only one answer from the beginning. I bend my head, and I reach my teeth into the head of the troll, screaming continuously.

“Kuooooooo!”

“I'll eat well. ”

Only when you eat something due to the aid of predatory skills do you have the strength to defeat anything. With these teeth, you prey on Trolls alive.

It was a pretty overwhelming job. To avoid being eaten, the Trolls went through all kinds of trouble, and I only get hit by a head shaking in his footsteps.

I devoured him with his own blood and blood gushing as he devoured it. Ey was silently watching over all of them.

[Minor regeneration is Lv4.]

By the time you've eaten half his head, his resistance has begun to weaken. Even though he ate half his head and is still alive is the point of processing Trolls.

I put Sputt up. I shoved my head down and swallowed everything he had. It didn't take long for the Trolls to lose their lives entirely.

[Jinma Tower 1st Floor Conquest 1/10]

I was silent for a moment looking at the notification window in front of my eyes. It's not because I didn't feel it. Because I was reminiscing about how much I had to go through to see this one notification window.

That's when the upheaval happened. Of course it was a change in my body.

The Goblin's weak body gradually gains muscle. To the Goblin Fighter, to the Hobgoblin, to the Hobgoblin Ashter. Just as I quickly replay the video I rewind, my body went where it needed to be.

Of course, the pain was enormous, but for me, it was tolerable to be eaten alive by Trolls, torn apart, bleeding from the blunt force, or suffer countless things.

“Phew.”

I took back the body of Hobgoblin Athelter and sighed of relief. I felt like I could do anything right now because I had fallen into a medicinal body.

Battle Spider Assassin? The Wolf Elite? I can't believe you've been avoiding them. A short time ago, I fought the Trolls in the body of a Goblin fighter, and I just had a bloody laugh.

Of course, fear is necessary to protect myself. But excessive fear only impedes your own growth. Taking a step back in front of danger is important, but it's even more important to understand your abilities.

I now realize it. My own abilities and limitations, and how far can I go on my own? How talented I am in combat.

Though I have seen too much of the nails here in Jinma's tower, it was a ‘safe training ground’ as a result, and I was able to grow big. Technically and mentally.

Ei said.

“Do you want to continue? ”

“No.”

I was speedy.

“I'll come back later. ”

If I had leveled up a little more and come here with a little bit more stats as a prey, I wouldn't have had to suffer this much. This is because the lower the stat, the greater the difference in Stat 1 is felt.

It wasn't written on the last line of the quest, along with hunting werewolves for no reason. This was the place to come after completing everything else.

I'm sick of death. There's already a lot to be gained by death. The next goal is never to die conquering the first floor. To do that, I had to return to the Black Palace.

The wall that had risen high disappeared like it had never been there from the beginning. I still couldn't see Ei's face, but I could feel Ei better and more finely than before.

“From now on, you will not be able to use this method. ”

At Ey's words, I nodded softly. I was expecting that somehow. Technically, what I just did was a foul play.

“From now on, I'm going to beat you to the punch. ”

A door opens in the darkness where nothing can be seen. I gave Ei one glance at the direction she was headed, then twisted the door hook open and threw myself over the door.

After returning to the cave, the first thing I did was detect the surroundings. I don't know how much time I spent inside Jinman's Tower, but hundreds of deaths and endless battles would not have ended in at least a day or two.

War Wolf and the Battle Spider would have regained their realm, and perhaps a human or someone else would have broken through the first floor of the dungeon and entered the second floor.

I was thinking that, but there was nothing to catch even when I pushed the touch to the maximum extent of the detection.

I tilted my head and concealed myself with the simultaneous use of surprise and fairy tales, and several individuals moved the passageway. But there was nothing. The faint perception was only in the realm of the superspecies. I thought, "No way.

‘In Jinma's Tower, is time running slow? ’

I thought it would make sense, but it's already made no sense in my life. I immediately took out the clock and checked it, and I realized that only three hours had passed since I checked the time before I entered Jinma's tower.

It may be fifteen or twenty-seven hours, but it is strange that monsters are not born after such a long time. Maybe three hours.

Honestly, it was a hell of a time, but after only three hours, I felt like I had gained a strength that was not compared to before.

Anyway, there's no War Wolf or Battle Spider here right now. In that case.

‘What should I do? ’

I didn't have much to worry about. Honestly, I'm not afraid of any monsters on the second floor.

Know your own abilities and your enemies' abilities. There is a clear answer as to what to do if those two things happen.

I cannot be harmed by the upper class on the second floor. So we hunt them down.

“Good.”

Before that, I examined my own body. It was from Status.

[Fade]

[Hobgoblin Athlete Lv. 50]

[Strength – 295 HP – 270 hp – 125 Luck]

Gin Lv2, Beginner Spider Web Crafting Lv4, Lesser Cane Lv9, Medium Resistance Lv2]

Physical ability itself did not change that much before challenging Jinjin's Tower. But the skills all grew tremendously, and the combat ability to deal with them also grew beyond compare.

Blood Iron Armor wraps around the body of a Hopgoblin Ashter. A helmet that hides the head completely except for the mouth and chin. The cold in my hands is a giant sword, a bloody shadow.

This country can handle all this equipment better than anyone else.

‘I became stronger. ’

My body is itchy. I'm also feeling jobashful now that I can fully harness the power of my skills while falling into the Goblin body.

This can't be happening. Always stay calm, just in case. Being strong doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't die.

I took a breather to calm my excitement. It silenced its own arrogance, triggered tension, and activated detection as a habit.

Thanks to that, I was able to notice him one step ahead.

“Man, I don't know what's in this dungeon. First floor's full of goblins, second floor's empty. Oh, my God. ”

People.

He was strong enough that I couldn't catch him until he got close.

“Monsters found at last. …… What are you. A Goblin? Rare? Armor... Ah, haha. ”

The next moment, I opened my eyes to what he had said.

“So you were a fan, huh? ”

I turned my back.

I saw a man in his late 20s with a dagger in his light clothes smiling happily as if he had found a treasure. I said to him, taking a step closer.

“I want to hear about the Chosen One. ”

It was the first time I was born as a Goblin and spoke to people.
