Demon King
Chapter 41 The Fourth Evolution [1]

Unlike on the first floor of Jinma Tower, I did not find A when entering the second floor.

Maybe he's still on the ground floor.

Maybe he was here but hid his presence.

What greeted me was a Poison Scorpion, bigger than a Giant Spider, faster and stronger than a Giant Wolf. Moreover, it had a terrifying poison.

“Kee-iii!”

It was at that moment that I realized that I would not only be facing trolls, like on the first floor.

Scorpions are other intermediate monsters, but seem to move on a different level than trolls.

Well. they are different creatures, on different floors.

Stop thinking about them .

The longer I stay in place, the more vulnerable I become.

The sound of the scorpion approaching was getting louder at all times.

I'm gonna kill him.

It was a monster with a level that was at least similar to a troll, or perhaps stronger.

But, if his attack power was strong, his regeneration would be weak; if his defensive strength was strong, his speed would be slow.

I can beat him.

“Kiaaaaaaaaaaah!”

I felt the giant tail of the scorpion protrude, probably filled with a ferocious poison.

It was impossible to confirm it visually because of the darkness, but I could understand the power that came at me.

I flew away from him. I haven't raised Surprise and Fairy Tale.

With the body of the Hob Goblin Assaulter, I believe I can defeat him quickly.

I can match his strength and speed.

If one attack does not work, I can continue to attack the same place repeatedly.

No carapace is too hard against consistent heavy damage.

But if I kill him now, I will turn into a Hob Goblin afterwards.

Once I become a Goblin Hob, the speed and distance I can create will be extremely limited, and it will become even more difficult to analyze the movements and skills of these new monsters.

It would be easier to kill him with my lower form if I understood him better.

I don't have to die thousands or tens of thousands of times in my Goblin's body.

I've experienced Jinma Tower.

Now, I have to draw everything that can be derived from that experience.

Although time flows slowly here, I will not waste time dying over and over again.

Kee-i-y!

“Ya, come closer..”.

And let me study you closer.

I rushed towards him. The scorpion greeted me with an attack I had anticipated, a blow from its giant tail.

Hah!

However, instinctively, I jumped into the air to avoid it.

Fearful.

Fear of degeneration. Fear of facing high-level opponents. Fear of dying again.

All the emotions I felt were mixed, reinforced by Ebon Heart.

Gradually, they turned into excitement and excitement.

How fun it is to overcome all the enemies of – when I break the limit!

How thrilling it is to go before their flesh!

I don't know if it started when I became a goblin, or if it was a wish hidden under my humanity.

However, I think killing troublesome opponents and tearing their flesh is fun.

I will not oppose it.

That was a good boost.

It was that impulse that could make me endure and become stronger.

Following that impulse, I moved my body.

Somehow, the Poison Scorpion feels a little smaller, unlike when I first felt its presence, but I don't care.

There is no time to care.

Time pass.

That's two hours from outside time. I heard the gears of the pocket watch click twice.

Inside the Jinma Tower, it felt like two weeks.

The Poison Scorpion in front of my Goblin form was helpless in the deep and narrow trap I set.

My strength and skill level have been enhanced so far that my Goblin Fighter form can destroy intermediate monsters without any traps, but that is still too much for a Goblin form.

Of course, as I expected from the beginning.

“Lock, key, key, key.”

“Hoo, hoo..

No matter how much my skill level increases, it is impossible to kill intermediate monsters in my lowest form with one or two attacks. There is an absolute difference in physical ability. Differences cannot be filled by any skill.

So, has my growth from Level 50 to Level 58 proved to be meaningless?

No. gabe.

The Trap Creation Skill grew little by little, and as such, the amount of time spent creating traps and the power of traps was comparable to the many deaths I suffered in the Poison Scorpion's tail and claws.

Eventually, the skill reached Lv9.

Poison Scorpion is now powerless against my skill.

“Ki-yi, kai-yi.”

Poison Scorpion whimpering. When it was stronger than my Goblin form, I never imagined it making this sound, but now, its voice was soft, as if it was begging for its life.

When I first met her, it felt amazing. Now, even in my Goblin form, I am not even worried about the size of its claws.

Good. That's very clear now.

There were more high-level monsters above them.

It's not monsters alone that I have to worry about.

The humans.

Humans are born into a fortunate family, who grew up without any difficulties, and trained under strong mentors.

I have to face them.

They'll see me as a monster and hunt me down.

To be honest, I don't want to face them until I progress to the next form.

I don't have time to waste. I have to grow.

Intermediate, advanced, superlative, and so on.

Kill more. Eat more.

I approached the moaning Poison Scorpion, helpless in a trap specially made for him, to hold his feet and claws.

He begged for mercy. That's depressing. He went from being a predator to a prey.

Of course, I don't care about the feelings of my prey.

“I will enjoy this meal.”

I bit her hard claws and felt the poison.

Of course, I expected it.

[Low Poison Creation Skills have become Lv7.]

[Lower Regeneration to Lv9.]

My Predation skills ignored the toxicity of my target, and my Immunity and Regeneration skills prevented me from being vulnerable to the poison.

When it reaches Lv5, Regeneration can begin to recover from toxic damage.

The Poison Creation skill also increased every time I swallowed or used poison.

This combo allowed me to cultivate poison regeneration and poison producing skills at an incredible speed while eating the poison scorpion.

Immune growth is a little slower because it is already at the Intermediate level.

Predation may also grow.

Since I have consumed a lot since leveling up last, it probably grew without me noticing.

“Lock, key, key!”

“Come, fight as much as you can.”

If you could.

I continued to eat the surviving Poison Scorpion while the notification window appeared continuously until it finally announced that my Poison Regeneration and Creation reached the Intermediate level.

Finally, the sentence [Conquering the first floor of Jinma Tower 2/10] appeared.

Immediately, familiar pain hit me — body processes that degenerate back to their original form.

Swollen muscles, stronger blood pumping, thickened skin. Bones harden and thicken.

While observing the phenomenon, a strange thought came to my mind.

It was as if I was looking at someone else's body.

Strange thoughts passed quickly. This is not the time to think about it.

I look around. I'm not sure where A is, so I speak out loud:

“Keep challenging. Until I conquer ten floors. ”

Time passed quickly, as opponents fell one by one.

Skeleton Knights, Hornet Princes, Minotaur, as well as seven other monsters.

“Kyu woo!”

“Bad you!”

The spider, whose web contained electrical power, was the most difficult among the intermediate monsters I had ever encountered.

I was somehow able to defeat him in the form of a Goblin Fighter, but ever since I became a Goblin, I kept dying even after just touching the net.

It's hard to make a trap.

What's more, spiders crawled all over the wall, avoiding the traps I set on the ground.

My Trap Creation Skill, despite reaching Intermediate Lv5, has met its match.

I could only set a trap on the ground where I stepped on.

Unless the enemy is stupid like a troll, they usually don't stay in one place.

That's why I need to attack the enemy to lure them into a trap.

Until now, it wasn't that difficult, but the spiders were intelligent opponents.

This is a pretty good skill, but it has its flaws.

A lot of research is needed so that I can use these skills better in the future.

After the pocket watch clicked to signify four hours, a Goblin managed to insert a sword into the neck of the Lightning Spider.

It's hard, but the prize is worth it.

“Very delicious.”

As I chewed on the Lightning Spider, a reminder suddenly appeared before my eyes.

[Conquer the first floor of Jinma Tower 9/10]

[The Creation of the Lower Spider Net has become Lv10 and evolved into the Creation of the Intermediate Spider Net. It becomes possible to apply mana and skills to the web that you produce.]

Just then, my irritation with the Lightning Spider disappeared.

I smile.

It seems that the 10th opponent I have to defeat inside Jinma Tower will be easier to catch.
