Demon King

Chapter 19. Fifth Evolution 2

In the short time I went to the store, Lee Chon Yu definitely found the location of the boss room.

Since the conversation with the rain was a conversation, I walked quietly to the boss' room without saying anything to Lee Chan Yuk, and checked myself by sensing the tactics that I felt in it.

Blood Baptism, Blood Shadow, Herma's Bloodstone Ring, and finally up to five Daggers.

Statuses were then checked.

[Fade]

[Bugbear Lv89]

[Strength – 739 HP – 663 MP – 514 Luck]

[Skill – Dark Heart, Predatory Lv4, Advanced Martial Arts Lv3, Intermediate Lunatic Trickster Lv7, Intermediate Armor Defense Lv8, Intermediate Regeneration Lv7, Intermediate Flame Magic Lv7, Intermediate Power Attack Lv6, Intermediate Height Lv2, Intermediate Surge Lv9, Advanced Detection Lv4, Advanced Ambush Lv9, Advanced Bronze Lv3, Intermediate Beast Charge Lv9, Advanced Pain Brush

Has many skills.

There were so many.

Of course, there are many skills that are being utilized, but there was one skill that was pretty good, almost like it was owned.

Among them, the overwhelmingly useless ones were acquired while eating tens of thousands of flying monsters on the 3rd floor and have grown to medium-grade levels.

If it was Goblin times, he would have been naively pleased when he got his flying skills. Flying in the sky is humanity's longing. It wasn't that different for me.

However, I was beheaded by my spider silk crafting skills and realized early on that my flying skills would not be so different, as I expected. It was a skill that worked only for those with wings or flight related body organs.

However, there were so many monsters with flying skills that even among predatory skills, this skill grew quickly and is now at a very intermediate level 2.

But isn't making useless spider silk one of my finest skills now an ingredient in Lunatic Trickster? Flight skills were also used as a skill synthesizer, I was expecting.

After all, Status's growth and skill growth are all smooth. It bothered me that my sneak attack skills didn't grow to excellence, but they were all perfect. Maybe there was some expectation that it would grow in the process of dealing with the Power Reaper.

I left the boss' room in front of him and offered Chon Yu a non-operational mission.

“I'll finish the boss. All seven of them, except for the boss. Can you handle them? ”

If it weren't for Chon Yuk, I would have had to deal with the boss and attack other enemies. I didn't think it was impossible. But if you could hunt the boss more easily, you wouldn't have to go back.

“They're all rare top species, right? ”

“Yes.”

At the same time, seven rare top species. Lee Chan Yuk confirmed it to me with a bloody smile.

“It's good to buy some time...... but it won't matter if we defeat them all, right? ”

“Don't die. ”

The horse was lighter, but Lee Chan's body was shaking thinly. I'm nervous. Before I knew it, Yoon Chan tapped my shoulder.

“Don't worry. Let's go.”

“You don't have to overdo it. I can do it myself. ”

“No, I want to. Don't get me wrong.”

Then we can't stop them. I smiled lightly, put the boss' room key in the keyhole, and turned around.

A huge iron gate opens.

The sixteen eyes inside were facing us at the same time.

“Huh."

Lee Chan Yuk muttered.

“This is a little different from the Dungeon Boss Room I used to know. ”

[Because, losers,]

A roaring voice rang my ears.

[This is the Black Palace!]

A massive Black Shock wave has struck us. A dark shaped monster in a black hood, the shockwave of Mana protruding from the tip of a huge sickle, clearly powered by him!

I felt confident that I shouldn't have stopped it, even if I was wearing ancient grade defense gear. I immediately grabbed some milk and used leaps and the beast's charge. However, the second and third successive strikes caused the landing on the ground to repeatedly move skills.

It had to dissolve.

He wasn't the only one.

[Eat all you want! Feed for years of hunger!]

“Kew!”

“Kuaaang!”

The seven monsters in the boss room with the Power Reaper were power sheets, dogs with red eyes on their big, black bodies. There was an image that came to mind of them. Hellhound, the hound of hell.

They've been chasing us ever since Reaper said so. When he opened his big mouth, what appeared in it were flaccid, sharp teeth like a saw blade. Even the black flame that roared from deep down the throat was unimaginable.

The moment I thought about it, a black flame came out of their mouths in a straight line! It really was a Hellhound!

“Commander, throw me to them! ”

“Don't die! ”

I ran away from the Black Flame and the shock waves of the Reapers and threw out some cold oil. Lee Choon Yuk grabbed his nails and landed with his fingernails on the back of a Hellhound. And then I went on to War Cry.

“Khhhhhhh!”

A scream to draw all of Hellhound's attention to yourself! His attempt was successful, but there was one more who was at war with Krei.

[You want me to take care of it first?]

The moment Ripper turned his gaze on him, I charged at him. Triggering both raids and fairy tales, leaps and shadows, and the beast's charge!

[I'm reading all your energy!]

“Suck.”

Immediately before I reached him, a huge sickle slammed vertically in front of my eyes and blocked my lunge. You were reading energy? That's a lie. If I'd read my movements earlier, I wouldn't have responded with such a passive defense!

If we get too close to him, will we see a spike in our detection capabilities? It could be a skill or an artifact. ’

I stomp the sickle with my feet and leap into the air, looking through the pale face of the Power Reaper in the field, as if I were looking over the body hiding in the hood.

At the same time, Lunatic Trickster triggers three traps. It was all about tying his feet to that space.

However, the next moment, his body becomes blurry, and he leaps into the air just before the trap kicks in. Move fast enough to be considered teleportation!

I intuitively realized Reaper's technique was a step in the shadows. It was a shadow step that still surpassed me, a minor level.

[If you want to die so badly, I'll fight you first!]

I wielded the shadow of blood against the sickle he wielded. At the end of the two weapons encounters, Mana vomits light with a violent reaction.

Did you really think I wouldn't be able to cope with his power? The Power Reaper is clearly distraught.

[Bugbear theme!]

The moment I felt the black energy emanating from the sickle intensified, another sickle appeared on my head consisting of only Mana. With a moment of judgment, I set another trap over my head.

Half of Mana is a trap made of two Devil's Hooks. It grabs a sickle made of Mana and bounces back at the Power Reaper!

[Hehe!?]

The moment he retreated, wounded by an unexpected counterattack, I made a whip of Heilang with one hand and threw it around his neck.

“Hot!”

And then you charge straight up and put a sword through his throat! I thought I could clean him up with one good shot.

But my judgment was backwards. After being caught with the whip of a black lightning bolt, Reaper's body fades again and disappears, revealing itself shortly after.

[I am a body close to the spirit. If you were just trying to catch me by magic, that would be a mistake.]

You say that, but he doesn't attack you indiscriminately, either because I was wary of the skill that bounced off his sickle a moment ago. With a giant sickle in your hand, you're just swinging around for the timing.

I was nervous when I found a black jewel that emits a strange glow on the head of the sickle. The jewel of Pelcardia! Perhaps it is the power of Pelcardia's gem to evade the whip of Heights now?

Regardless of whether or not, I also had to be aware of the technology of when he would appear from now on. Fortunately, it was one of the things I was most familiar with while hunting various monsters in 3F.

I hit the floor again. The Reaper lunges at me as if it were slipping through the air.

Dozens of black spheres floating around him ambushed me ahead of him, and I had to raise fire magic to fight it.

At that moment, his appearance disappeared before my eyes, and at the same time, the sickle of death rose from beneath my feet.

[Hahahahahaha!]

With Reaper's grinning smile, the black shining sickle tore my body apart with authenticity.

[…… what is it? This is not his shadow!]

Correctly, I tore the vision of my body that had only transferred my skills with the power of fairy tale skills. Now it was a fruitful achievement of the linkage skills that had become quite familiar.

When the trap that was trapped in the vision is triggered, the five Devil's Hooks grab his sickle and pull it together. The Reaper was more agitated than I thought, but I was sitting behind his back when he finished figuring it out.

[Intermediate Leap Skill becomes Lv10 and evolves into Advanced Leap. You can jump again in the air. Consume only Mana and health.]

[Lesser Illusion Magic becomes Lv10 and evolves into Intermediate Illusion Magic. It makes it possible to create more realistic visions. By consuming Mana, it is possible to give the illusion temporary physical and magical powers.]

I swung the shadow of blood as I blew it to the other side of the ritual without even looking at the two notification windows. Power Attack and Speed Attack, and finally Hematitis! The Blood Shadow's head cracks in half at the end of the bloody trail.

[Kuaahhhh!]

For the first time, I was able to draw a satisfactory scream from the enemy. However, it was impossible to wedge as the sickle appeared on all sides as soon as it gave way to a critical hit.

I hurriedly stepped back and landed using a beast charge. However, the Reaper's actions did not end there. The moment I stepped foot on the floor, a sickle from the tiny shadow that had drawn from the dragonglass light in the dark boss room was about to cut off my foot!

I read it with advanced sensing and left just before the sickle caught on my ankle. If it had not been for the nature of the blood baptism that sucks light, the shadow would have been bigger than that, and then the ankle would have been cut off completely.

‘Copy that.'

It was clear by this time. The gem of Pelcardia he holds, its power is but a shadow! It was an incredibly powerful ability, including stepping into the shadows of others and attacking them.

The shadow must have caused him to read my movements in the first place. I stepped on his shadow!

In retrospect, the moment of expressing Lunatic Trickster was short-lived. He was mistaken for my shadow caused by flame magic.

If I hadn't, the attack wouldn't have worked if I was in his shadow realm.

I was lucky in many ways. I still did.

If he had started invading my shadow before the leap had reached the top, there would have been no answer. When he was underestimating me, I was fortunate that my skills had grown well at the time.

[Die!]

I took the corpse of a rare upper-class species that I had saved in my inventory, tore it apart, and leaped into thin air. Then he leaped into the air again. Walking through the air like there's a foothold!

My shadow can no longer threaten me. His shadow is not scary. The Power Reaper was only staying at the edge of an intermediate monster.

Tendency to fight was similar to mine and lower than mine The only thing to be careful of is his shadow!

The shock wave has flown again. I dodged it by simultaneously skirting the leap and the beast's charge. I stepped in the air one more time, and now I see him in front of me.

I figured out a way to end him, and I was sure. Don't let them rely on shadows.

The method is already in my hands.

Every sickle he swings in the air becomes Manat's sickle, and it flies around my neck. At that moment, I robbed 50% of my Mana and triggered an intermediate fire spell. I, him and everyone around him, are covered in flames.

[Fool! You think you can burn me like that!]

Once again, with a combination of welcome magic and fairy tales, I leave only my appearance and my visions here. This technique was originally not supposed to work this close, but it will work now.

[There you are!]

Dozens of sickles he wielded tore my vision apart. Yeah, he didn't detect me.

Now that the room is full of flames, shadows are not made. Even if it is made, it will be created away from our realm of battle.

We don't have long to fool him.

The user slams into the air, avoiding the overhead sickle. The moment the raid and fairy tale made me into a fiery furnace, the awakening of the beast took hold on my legs.

The power of the leap makes a platform in the air. I nailed it.

[Intermediate Beast Charge becomes Lv10 and evolves into Advanced Beast Charge. Acceleration and sudden stops are easier. If you use the Beast's Charge and other Movement series skills together, your abilities are amplified.]

[Congratulations! You have met the requirements for synthesizing special top skills!]

Notifications window is not visible at this time. There is no time for skill synthesis during combat.

A black sickle from the flames rushed into my body. I was expecting it, of course. It's not just the power of the shadow that he has.

But this much cannot pierce the baptism of blood. In fact, I did not do much damage, and the sickles could only serve to inform the Reaper of my true position.

The problem is that it is too late to notice now.

You!?]

The moment the sickle that had been pushed away with the Reaper's slight malignancy was recovered. I whistled all my mana in the shadow of blood.

It successfully removes the reaper's neck from the body.

[You obtained EXP 250,109.]

[You have earned 500 gold.]

[You obtained the Pelcardia Jewel (Black).]

[You have obtained a Lesser Grim Reaper's Cloak.]

I turn my back on the corpse of the Fallen Power Reaper.

Now that I have done my part beautifully, I think it's time to help my colleagues.

I thought so, but I was arrogant again.

Lee Chan Yoo was evolving in the Hellhound horde.
