Demon King
Chapter 42 The Fourth Evolution [2]

[Are you sure you want to synthesize the Lunatic Trickster skill? In this case, the following skills will be lost: Trap Creation, Poison Creation, Spider Web Creation, (choose one: Power Attack or Power Arrow)]

[This skill is strengthened by the effects of magic skills and combat support skills.]

[Yes]

[No]

Obviously, the Lunatic Trickster skill is similar to Trap Creation.

Spider Netting is just a bunch of unnecessary luggage, so this is a great time to dispose of it.

The same goes for Poison Creation, which I have never even used.

It would be a big blow, however, if I lost Power Attack, but luckily, I had other options.

I chose to use Power Arrow for synthesis.

It was soon resolved.

[Trap Making, Poison Making, Spider Net Making, and Power Arrows have been synthesized.]

[You gained the Intermediate Lunatic Trickster Lv1.]

[1. Spend time, mana, stamina, weapons, equipment, and other materials to create the desired type of trap in the desired location (within visibility). The size, strength, and duration of the trap depends on the type and amount of material used.]

[2. Other skills can be applied through the Lunatic Trickster. Strengthen specific skill elements or add new elements. This is done randomly and will cost you one skill level in return for a skill upgrade.]

As if it was not a good skill, the Lunatic Trickster should have the ability.

The first is what I expected – better versions of Trap Creation.

However, the second ability worries me.

I don't like to rely on random luck. I cannot risk my life by chance.

Of course, it was a skill that improved skills at the price of one skill level.

However, the scope of improvement it can offer is unknown, so it has factors like gambling.

What's more, it comes at a great price.

But it's a good choice to have.

Each ability has its own purpose. The second ability of the Lunatic Trickster will definitely prove useful one day.

I closed the notification window.

Suddenly, I felt A.

I immediately noticed his presence and looked towards him

A did not comment on my polished sense of Detection, and instead said something.

“The last one left.”

“I know.”

“Do you want to directly challenge?”

I looked down at my body. It was still in the form of a Goblin.

Normally, after I finished eating the last opponent, I returned to the form of Assaulter Hob Goblin.

“Ya... but my body..”.

“The 10th conquest of the first floor of Jinma Tower – begins.”

Damn, A!

Unlike Rain, who is too good, A sucks and doesn't help.

After saying those words, he disappeared again.

I grit my teeth. He actually started the 10th conquest just like that. Damnit.

But I feel nothing.

No – I feel like I'm nothing.

I tried to move my head, but I couldn't.

I tried to feel the ground with my feet, but I couldn't.

I have a dagger in my hand.

I don't have hands. There were no legs, no body, no head.

Even the Heart of Ebon has been lost.

No heart to pump blood, no lungs to breathe!

No, I don't need to breathe.

Fear has dominated me.

I'm nothing.

I can't feel myself in this room.

Is this space real? If I'm not here, does this space exist?

If this space is real, then why am I not aware of the things within it, even my own body ?!

Did I go?

Did the Goblin form disappear completely, and only my consciousness remained?

Then... will my consciousness soon disappear as well?

Terrible horror engulfed me, and I desperately swam in it.

I exist. I exist!

It should be a safe training center.

There should be no casualties. This shouldn't have happened.

I can't disappear.

I have to survive.

I can't disappear without a trace in this place.

I exist.

My soul and body are here!

At that moment, it was as if time was turning around. I thought back.

I remember when I killed the Poison Scorpion.

Then what are you thinking? Think on! Think on!

I recall. That was the question that came to my mind.

There is a boundary between the soul and the flesh. Is it possible to degenerate further, leaving only existence? Is that against the law in this place?

It was a simple moment to wonder about what A said. He said that this place was where all the passes I had passed would merge into one, but could I plunge to the point of none?

Of course, everything that happens in Jinma Tower is mysterious, and I will not be able to understand everything with my own knowledge.

But I have to try to figure out how it works. So I can get out of this phase.

What happens to degeneration?

Realisation.

The level and skill remain the same.

From start to finish, my skills and levels remained the same.

Even if the body has degenerated, it is retained.

I take it for granted.

I don't question the deterioration of my body in the past.

I accepted it as the truth, and it became my reality. I actually degenerated into a Goblin Hob and below, although it was physically impossible.

But how could his level and skill remain the same?

What if degeneration is just my illusion?

What if I was a Hob Goblin Assaulter all along?

Someone told me that I would degenerate into a Hob Goblin.

It could only be an explanation of the phenomenon of degeneration.

If a Hob Goblin Assaulter thinks that he is a Goblin, then his existence can be erased.

When I realized it, Ebon Heart jumped.

At a time when I was very frightened, I did not recognize his presence, but it had been there from the beginning.

Thumped.

Thumped.

Small beats gradually become harder, harder, stronger.

Veins and blood vessels spread in all directions from the source of the heartbeat.

Flesh and bones begin to form.

Blood filled the blood vessels. Where flows through them.

The exposed flesh grew skin, and my armor covered it once more.

I recognize the Blood Shadow in my hands.

As I swung it, a smooth red shadow appeared in the air.

I'm convinced. I returned to being the Hob Goblin Assaulter by confirming my existence.

By reaching this moment and accepting who I am.

I was a Hob Goblin Assaulter all along, not a Goblin.

I never weakened. Only my heart is weakened.

No one but me can make me weaker. No one can touch my soul!

I realized the absolute proposition.

[Predation to Lv4. Efficiency of the ability to absorb prey increases. Able to absorb even lower level skills.]

[The Intermediate Martial Arts have become Lv8.]

[Intermediate Detection has become Lv9.]

[The Lower Story has become Lv10 and evolved into an Intermediate Fairy Tale. You can project the illusion of yourself within the range of your vision.]

With my enlightenment, my skills grew. Everything pleases me, but nothing pleases me more than completing the tenth conquest of Jinma Tower.

That is why this tower.

I can also fight monsters in the dungeon, but in this place, I can gain enlightenment.

I have to see myself, not just as a monster. I should have known myself better.

It took me a long time to learn it.

The darkness that covered my eyes lifted up with my delusions, and I finally saw the shocked face of A, who was right in front of me.

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

[Mission done!]

[You gained 1,200,000 experiences!]

[You earned 100 gold!]

[Raise level!]

[You obtained 5 intermediate horsepower potions.]

[Getting 10 Devil Hooks.]

[Evolution may occur.]

“It's fast.”

A was a middle-aged man with a handsome face.

I shake my head.

“No. Already late. And it's not over. ”

“Not yet? May..”

I triggered the Lunatic Trickster.

I didn't plan on using it, but now is the best time to use it.

[Select expertise to manifest with the Lunatic Trickster]

I choose Detection and Martial Arts.

The goal?

That's simple.

To find a monster that has played me like a toy and cut it down.

There was something certain in this place, other than A and I. The one who caused the delusions, the one who covered me in darkness …

A shook his head. “Must be sure. The Trickster is an advanced monster. ”

I laugh. It's funny that the name of the monster and the skill that I will use to complete it are the same.

“That's an interesting name,” I said on A.

[Detection skill level minus 1 level. Sensing power is reinforced without limit.]

[Defense Arts skill level minus 1 level. Add elements that can attract future energy and use it for today.]

Even when my five senses were free, the Deceiver mentioned A was not revealed to me.

From the moment I set foot in this place, it has been deceiving and playing tricks on me.

It is impossible to catch him with my Intermediate Detection.

But now, with the help of the Lunatic Trickster…

I jumped up and used all the weapons in my inventory to set up a spider web trap.

I threw it into the air like a wide net to catch everything that could float there.

I didn't seem to catch anything, but I didn't care.

I know differently.

Black Lightning, blood sword, and Strength Attack, strengthened with all the energy I can have tomorrow, covered my sword.

And I swung it with all my might towards the trap.

“Kyap! King!”

Sounded impact. The attack hit something.

[You earn 1,580,000 experience points.]

[Experience limits due to race limits. Experience will be applied to the next form.]

[You earned 180 gold.]

[The Intermediate Martial Arts have become Lv9.]

[Intermediate Detection has become Lv10 and evolved into Advanced Detection. The detection range is significantly expanded, and enemy weaknesses can be identified. Reading the emotions of items lower than the level of Detection skill becomes possible.]

[Low Strength Attack has become Lv10 and evolved into an Intermediate Strength Attack. When you cast magic on Power Attack, its attack power is amplified. You can consume mana to instantly increase the range of your weapon.]

I landed lightly on the floor, holding onto Trickster's bat-like body. It was too small and shabby compared to its great ability.

I looked back at A's dumbfounded expression.

“What is impossible?”

“Sial, Rain.” A muttering.

I chewed on Trickster's body, pleased with the reminder that popped up.

[Magic has increased by 10.]

[You acquired the Lv1 Beginner Fantasy Magic skill.]

It's not over yet. I still have one thing to do.

[Evolution may occur.]
