Demon King
Chapter 38 Falling[2]

He kept laughing, then looked at me with a smile.

“The Fallen are those who fall. They were humans who opened their eyes and found themselves as monsters. In other words, they are like you. ”

I don't think I'm alone in this world, but it feels different if your existence is explained by your opponent. I felt like I was being hit hard by a sledgehammer.

They even have names for people like us.

My first thought was, Have I ever experienced Fallen ?

Thinking about it now is not productive. I need to focus more on how to resolve this situation.

How did he know I was someone? I would ask more, but his expression said he had no intention of explaining further.

“I did not find the artifact I was looking for, but instead, I found Fallen. I'm very lucky.” He licked his lips.

This is the first time I've experienced this. The enemy knows me, but I don't know about him. Facts make me uncomfortable.

How do I know he is the enemy? Because he had not dropped his weapon and he kept on grinning menacingly.

“But you were lucky too. You become a goblin. I heard someone woke up as an ogre. ”

“What happened to him?”

“She died. He could not understand the situation and ran back to human society. ”

He lifted the dagger into his mouth. The dagger then glowed blue.

“I cannot miss such a delicious prey.” he said.

Meaning clear. He sees me as a delicious “vote”.

“Why? Even if you knew I was once a human? ”

“That's what makes you more tasteful. God, you really don't know anything. ”

So, there's so much more that I don't know? I would like to get more information if possible. However, only in the comics will a villain tell you all the information you need to know.

“So,” my question to him, “does that mean the Fallen is-Ik ?!”

As I spoke, the man threw a dagger at me and rushed towards me while holding the other dagger. I dodged a few centimeters and shot Black Lightning into his approaching figure.

Then, something like a shield appeared in front of him. His shield broke, but the lightning weakened and failed to stop it completely.

“What, you are strong!” He exclaimed as he lunged at me, aiming at my neck.

But I've planned this. A steel spear suddenly shot out from the ground and pierced through his feet.

He screamed in pain and grabbed the spear. As he did so, I hid myself with Surprise and Fairy Tales.

When he saw where I was, he went on a rampage.

“Yes God! This kid attacked me and ran away? Shh- hurts! Shit!”

Good. He thought I was gone. He won't be able to find me.

I have played hide and seek with trolls of unparalleled strength.

I went behind him. Among the humans I have encountered so far, he is the fastest and most stealthy, but he cannot sense me.

My skills are definitely higher than her. It would be dangerous if my surprise was still at a low level.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't hesitate to kill him…

But what could happen if I saved him? Will he thank me, say he will never forget me, and will never come back?

Not likely. His evil eyes told. If I let him escape, he'll be more dangerous next time. Besides, maybe he won't be alone when he comes back.

I bit my lips and filled Blood Shadow with Power Attack.

I swung horizontally, cutting her neck.

It was a bit sad that there was no big difference between cutting his neck and the monster. The texture of their flesh and bones felt the same.

[You gained 127,400 experiences.]

[You get 163 gold, 17 silver, 55 bronze.]

[Randomly obtained three items from the enemy inventory.]

[Raise level!]

[Low Leadership has become Lv10 and evolved into Intermediate Leadership. The number of units you can control increases, and you can also increase the capabilities of those under your control.]

I immediately understood what he meant by “mangu” prey as soon as the warning appeared.

Lots of experience, plus the money he has. And three random items from his inventory …

I'm sure this will happen when humans kill Fallen or vice versa.

I have a rough idea of how human society is today.

Therefore, my motivation to grow stronger increased.

“Hoo.”

To get stronger, I need to do this.

I took a deep breath to calm the pounding Heart of Ebon.

Then I took the man's head.

“Cotting.”

And opened my mouth wide…

[Strength increased 2.]

[Magic has increased by 5]

I remember the man had licked the dagger. Looking at the strange blue light, I was sure there was something inside, but I didn't know it was poison.

Of course, it was unclear whether the poison would affect me. My resistance is at the Intermediate level.

I remember that the man had spat on the dagger. Looking at the shiny blue saliva, I was sure there was something, but it was also poison.

Of course, it was unclear whether the male poison would work for me, more resistant to transitional conditions.

I used a warning window to cover my view as I continued my predation.

As I did so, the nausea swelled up, but I continued to do so. I have to go through this. I can't give up.

I felt sorry for my life so I had to do this, kill others and even eat them …

Underwrite. Underwrite. I persisted.

When I finished, I checked the man's equipment and belongings on the floor.

First of all, the man's dagger. His death ended his poison effect. I can check the information on his weapon, even though there are no scrolls of emotions.

Wh why? Perhaps store-bought items can be read without scrolls.

[Pink Murderer’s Fang (129/180) – Attack 100. Rarity – rare. Add 50% attack damage when using poison. Add 50% attack damage when thrown.]

The man used his weapon effectively. When poison was applied, and the dagger was thrown, the attack power would amount to around 220.

However, his Throwing skill was definitely much lower than my Martial Arts level, which was why I was able to avoid it.

If I was hit by chance, it had enough strength to make me suffer.

Next, I checked the light suit that the man was wearing. It had a childish name [Shadow Hidden in Darkness], but its rarity was also rare.

It was a great option to increase my speed, but the defense was only 150, so I decided to put it into inventory first.

It would be a good thing to use this as a sacrificial armor and strengthen my Kessia Leather Armor.

Just before I put it in my inventory, something fell out of the suit.

It was a small piece of metal jewelry.

[Proof Mine (179 / 1,850) Rarity – rare. When facing Fallen, users see their identity. It was made by the Lecati Artifact Master.]

There goes.

Clearly, this was what made him able to discern the Fallen, just like me.

It'sgood.

Ever since I started exploring the dungeon, I never thought that the monster I killed might have once been a human.

I didn't even consider that possibility.

But now, I know the whereabouts of those who fell, and I even have the tools to identify them.

At least, before the war, I had a chance to find them unnoticed.

Now, I won't be wrong about who the monsters are and who the Fallen are. There are others who have been human beings like me, those who will experience the same or perhaps worse suffering that I experienced.

I swear that I will not kill or eat humans unless they become a threat to me.

The same should apply to the Fallen. The only difference they have from humans is that they find themselves in the bodies of monsters.

Unless they are hostile, I will not attack them first.

If possible, I will talk to them, build a friendly, sympathetic, and hopefully, I will get a comrade in this lonely war.

But I was immediately skeptical.

Will everything go well?

Is Fallen more human than monsters, or vice versa?

I thought I could empathize with them, but would it be the same for them?

There will be many of them who prefer experience, gold, and items over co-workers. There will be many people whose main goal is to become stronger.

Like the man who just tried to kill me.

But in the end, I decided to treat them to the same standards as humans.

I have to put aside romantic ideas to befriend the other Fallen, but I won't kill them for no reason.

If they want to kill me, I will kill them too. But if they make sense, I am also willing to talk to them.

I don't need to think about this right now. It's just a waste of time.

After setting my mind, I checked the new item I obtained randomly.

Steel daggers, poison bottles, and mid-level magic herbs.

I left the dagger and drank the poison (The Poison Creation Beginner has become Lv3). I keep the intermediate level magic herbs.

What does this mean for a man to reach 2F? That meant that human activity gradually developed within the dungeon.

If I am not in a hurry, I might meet a stronger human being who is incomparable to this man.

I have to be quick.

Pink Murderer’s Fang was tucked in my thigh, and Proof of Mine had been secured tightly in my armor room, along with a pocket watch.

Finally, with my left hand grasping the Blood Shadow tightly, I walked through the passageway.

Time to face the higher species.

Time pass.
