Demon King

[Eat.]

The living have eaten death.]

The air has shifted. The undead, who were filling this room, soon realized what my actions meant. That means that the person in charge will be different from now on.

I slammed the neck of the zombie around me with a sword and took the entire torso and shoved it into my mouth.

Detects all the energy in your body completely and consumes the stamina gained by predatory skills to regenerate. gradually transforms the energy of death into the energy of life.

By corrupting and absorbing the energy of death, it was possible to completely absorb the Mana that was contained in his body.

[Greater Detection has reached Lv7.]

Full of stamina and magic. There is no fatigue caused by resurfacing skills. They're all my food. Moreover, even the most powerful ghouls are medium-degree, unbelievable food!

[I'll get eaten, I'll die!]

[Avoid him! If eaten by him, it's gone!]

[You said you wanted to eat him, so get out!]

The surrounding undead slips back. It was a strange sight that I had not seen much in the Black Palace. The living monster came at me so bravely, but the people who died once withdrew saving my life.

Is it because you know the fear of extinction? But...

“I'm well aware of that. ”

I don't know where Ei has summoned this many undead, but I have only one choice until I know they are my enemies and the conquest of the tower is not complete.

“I'll eat well. ”

I rushed to the meal table.

[Predatory Skill is Lv5. Improves the growth of skills gained from predatory feeding. If you have a high predatory skill, even if it's your first time gaining it, you'll start at a high level.]

[Jinma Tower 2nd Floor Conquest 1/1]

Growth of Predatory Skills and the conquest of Jinma's Tower. Two notifications popped up simultaneously.

“This was the last of them. ”

I swallowed and muttered the flesh of the ghoul in my mouth. The taste was a little strange, to be honest. I felt like I was eating roasted meat with fruit that was about to rot.

It was strangely addictive, but I didn't want to eat it because it appeared to be completely rotten meat.

At that moment, the wall that was rising up all around it came down in unison. Even after such a long and long battle, the space around me was so quiet and clean. It's all gone into my stomach.

[Quest Completed!]

[You earned EXP 7,850,000!]

[You got 1,000 Gold!]

[Level Up!]

[Received 5 Advanced Magical Potions.]

[Received 5 Ultra Sticky Sticky.]

[Evolutionary.]

I clenched my fist as I watched the baptism of a series of notification windows. The excitement of being pushed from deep inside my heart shook my whole body.

I did it. I thought I was going to die, but I did it anyway. I've become strong again. I've proven myself to be stronger. I was glad. I was so glad that I could do it on my own without leaning on anything else.

Ei showed up, but this time I was expecting him. It was also because I had advanced 7 levels and fundamentally changed my posture using all skills.

But of course, there's a difference between prediction and preparation.

“... That was quick. ”

“This?”

He was about to give me a compliment, but I found it absurd.

You spent the first time with the wrong directions, completely shoveled? No, well, technically, it wasn't shoveling. Rather, it was something I needed.

But you did something else when you had to conquer the tower. Conquest must have been slowed down by that time.

“What is Energy? ”

But "A" asked a sudden question again. I gave up understanding of his character, so I answered his questions quietly.

“Manana Health, Life and Death. You mean these things? ”

“Is it possible to distinguish? ”

“Well, you saw what's possible. ”

“Is it possible?”

“Yes."

Of course, it may be impossible to know all the energies that are outside of me. But once it was inside me, I could see it.

Sensation led it, and so did my own health and horsepower. They were also impacting predation, martial arts and other skills.

It's silly to miss the energy once again. Now that I've swallowed more than a thousand undead, it's not enough to differentiate between physical strength, magic, life and the energy of death.

If you asked me to explain how it was possible and what those energies were, it was impossible, but it was possible to me anyway.

For me to ignore "A" asking such obvious things and just think about starting to evolve, "A" spoke with a still expressionless face, but with a ridiculous look somewhere.

“Fate.”

“Why?”

“You're mistaken. ”

“What's wrong with you? ”

Ei reported shocking news in a very bold voice.

“You should have stayed on the second floor of the tower until you reached level…… 7 of Predation. ”

Predatory Skill Level 7? You just reached level 5 a while ago? It was a ridiculous thing to say.

“…… Are you…? ”

But I suddenly came up with an idea. I can't believe I asked.

“Are you saying that by the time you reach Predatory Level 7, you'll be able to embrace the energy of death in unison? ”

“Yes, I'm sure. ”

Unfortunately, I learned Ei's words at once.

So now "A" tells me that without realizing the classification of energy, without trying to turn the energy of death into the energy of life, you should have achieved Predation Level 7 in the process of picking up the undead upside down and swallowing it and repeating it.

I'm on it!

I didn't want to think about how long it would take to achieve it. It was terrible just to think about the pain and patience.

Wait, if you think about it, the trial on the first floor would have been a huge ordeal if it hadn't been for that long!

Suddenly I realized one thing, and I stared at Ei.

The garden of love was not that difficult, even though it had a nature to test me like Jinma's tower. At least if he had been resistant, there wouldn't be much trouble. But Jinma's tower is not. Is this what it was originally designed to be?

No, I was sure that crazy difficulty would be related to this man standing in front of me.

“I thought about it from the beginning. You hate me! ”

“Of course.”

Ei insisted.

“Fett, liking you is only part of the pervert. ”

Instead of saying that, he gives a slight look to see if he remembered any bad memories. I felt like I was thinking about El.

I thought A was also a decent pervert, but all I could do was talk. Someday I'll be stronger than this guy and kick his shin off!

“Nevertheless, what I cooperate with you is ”

But at that time, "A" continued. Until now, it was quite strange for him to add to his words because he thought he had made them very long.

“Because there are people who are so hateful that they can't even compare to you. ”

“ ……. ”

“So be strong, Fett. Surprise me even more. ”

Clearly, he meant what he said. But after hearing his last words, I had to try my hardest not to laugh.

He is saying that he is surprised at my growth. With a hard face!

I left Jinma's tower and returned to the fourth floor of the Black Palace. Detection naturally passed on all the information around me without having to activate it separately.

There are no monsters around here. Lee Chon Yuk and the three Hellhounds are fighting two monsters from afar, not being pushed away by the colors. I will win without problems.

‘Then let's do it. ’

It might have been better to evolve in Jinma's tower, but the narrow Ei chased me away because I couldn't stand the laughter in the end. I'm not going to fail to evolve because of the threats now and around me, but Ei was troubled.

We can't delay any longer, anyway. I recalled all the evolutionary alerts.

Ever since I became a Bugbear, I have been confident that I have raised all of my skills to a greater extent than ever before.

Silk skill alone? I have a deeper understanding of my body and soul, and am used to the energy management. The reward for breaking through the Jinjin Tower in its own way with malice against me was never light.

So in my experience, when I became a Hobgoblin sledder, my expectation was that I might be able to evolve into a stronger upper-line species.

[Please select the species to evolve.]

[1. Bugbear Assassin]

[2. Bugbear Berserker]

[3. Bugbear Predator]

[Special evolution possible!]

[Special evolution is a rare evolution when certain skills, artifacts, factions, etc. are available. It's accompanied by more profound changes than any other evolution, and it rocks the genealogy of species. And that change may not necessarily be a good thing, temporarily. Furthermore, finishing evolution

There are disadvantages that we didn't know what it would look like until now.]

[However, individuals with special evolution have more and greater possibilities, and if they survive long periods of time, they may even have roots, so you should think carefully.]

[Do you want to challenge special evolution?]

This was unexpected.

Special evolution. Could the branch of evolution have been wider? I've done my best every moment, but I've never met him. It's a very, very rare thing to do.

I could not have guessed why I had this special evolution, but it was clear that I had to choose this now.

Even notification windows are explicit! Choosing special evolution is a way to become stronger later than evolving as a Bugbear!

Furthermore, special evolution included my skills, artifacts and factions. In other words, there is a reasonable evolution in the way that I have been walking.

Then you have nothing to fear. If I don't turn into an Orc or a Troll in the flesh, I have myself to become stronger with any monster's body!

In case you were wondering, I was really looking at information such as Bugbear Assassin or Predator, but I did not go beyond the scope of my expectations.

I last checked the safety around me. And we chose special evolution.

“Grrrghhhhh!? ”

I believed I could survive without screaming, but I didn't.

Even though I had experienced various kinds of pain, such as bursting my heart, turning into an undead, and biting my arm off in Jinjin's tower a little while ago, the pain from this evolution was not bad.

The heart of darkness beat roughly as if it were going to burst now. It was like the blood of the whole body was boiling and evaporating.

Compression begins.

Smaller.

Lighter.

Faster.

A little thicker.

I repeated the crushed bones and put them together. I felt the muscles burst and some become Mana and dissipate, and only the center remained to form new muscles and sit on the bones.

It does not change its appearance. The country was undergoing violent mutation, one by one, of the cells that constituted existence.

I was underestimating the word "the offspring of the species." Specialized evolution was different from the evolution from Goblins to Hopgoblins, Hopgoblins to Bergbears, and eventually monsters in the same lineage.

Everything was literally changing. He created a new possibility that should not be Bondi, and changed his appearance as he ran with power through that narrow path.

It shifts. Bugbear's body is washed away, leaving only a trail of footprints. Everything that made me exploded and crashed everywhere.

My body was compressed again and again. The unnecessary changed naturally to the other needs.

“Shhhhhhh!”

[Epic Regeneration is Lv5.]

[Greater Resistance Lv4.]

It was painful. It was so painful. The thought of why I couldn't escape this pain bothered me.

But it was clear to me that great pain would make a huge difference. It made me overcome my pain. I turned the agony of death into joy of life.

The pain stopped.

I raised my eyes and faced a werewolf beast commander pointing a nail at me.

He was a little taller than me. And he was someone I knew very well.

Lee Chan Yuk said with a tense voice.

“Who... are you?" ”

Just in time, I remembered a brief notification window in front of my eyes.

[Become a Crimson Elf.]
