Demon King
Chapter 58 The Fifth Evolution [2]

During the short time, when I was in the specialty store, Lee Chan-yu definitely found the location of the boss room.

After my conversation with Rain was over, I quietly walked into the boss room without talking to Lee Chan-yu and checked myself out.

I have the Blood Baptism, the Blood Shadow, the Herma Blood Stone Ring, and finally, the five daggers.

My status was also confirmed.

[Kang Si-ha (Fate)]

[Bug Bear Lv 89]

[Strength: 739 | Stamina: 663 | Magic: 514 | Luck: ???]

[Skills: Ebon Heart, Predation Lv4, Advanced Martial Arts Lv3, Lv7 Intermediate Lunatic Swindler, Lv8 Intermediate Armor Defense, Lv7 Intermediate Regeneration, Lv7 Intermediate Fire Magic, Lv6 Intermediate Strength Attack, Lv6 Intermediate Force, Black Intermediate Lv9, Lv9 Intermediate Leap, Lv4 Advanced Detection, Lv9 Advanced Surprise, Lv3 Advanced Fairy Tale, Lv9 Intermediate Beast Hunt, Lv2 Advanced Leadership, Lv3 Advanced Immunity, Lv3 Advanced Level Hunt, Lv4 Beginner Fantasy Magic, Lv6 Beginner Healing Magic, Lv2 Beginner Speed Attack, Lv6 Beginner Water Magic, Lv3 Beginner Fire, Lv2 Intermediate Flight, Lv8 Beginner Stone Skin, Lv2 Beginner Shadow Step, Lv2 Beginner Shadow Step, Beginner Madness Noise Lv1, Beginner Ice Magic Lv4]

There are many skills. If not too much.

Of course, I use a lot of these skills, but there are also some that I rarely use.

Amongst the extremely useless skills, one of them was the flying skill I acquired in the process of eating tens of thousands of flying monsters on the third floor. Since then it has grown to the middle level.

If I got it early, when I was still a goblin, I would be very happy when I gained that skill. Flying in the sky is the romance of mankind. But it's not a big deal to me. Even if I wanted to use a skill, it could only be used by those with wings or flight-related organs.

Since many flying monsters were abundant, this skill was proliferating among the skills that grew through Predation. And now Intermediate Level 2.

However, isn't that the material for the Lunatic Trickster, one of my best skills right now, which creates spider webs that are the front line of uselessness? Either way, I hope to use Flight as a skill synthesis material.

After all, my status and skill growth went smoothly. I just love that the Surprise skill cannot grow to the highest level, but the others are perfect. I have some hopes that maybe I will grow in the process of dealing with the Powered Ripper.

I was standing in front of the boss room. I gave Lee Chan-yu an operation that was not actually an operation.

“I'll take care of the boss. Can you keep the other seven in the room? ”

Without Lee Chan-yu, I would have to face the attacks of other enemies while dealing with the boss. I don't think that's impossible, but if it's going to make boss hunting more manageable, why would I choose the more difficult path?

“It must be all rare species and high level, right?”

“Mhm.” Lee Chan-yu smiled and confirmed. “I'm fine with that. You don't mind if I take it out, do you? ”

“Do not die.”

Even though she was talking jokingly, Lee Chan-yu trembled slightly. When I'm tense. He patted me on the shoulder before I realized it.

“Don't worry about that. C'mon.”

“You shouldn't come with me if you don't want to. I can do it myself. ”

“No, don't blame me. I want to do this.”

Then it can't be avoided. I smiled lightly, stuffed the boss room key into the keyhole, then turned it around.

A huge iron door opened, and the sixteen eyes inside looked at us at the same time.

“Uh ..” murmured Lee Chan-yu. “This is a little different from the boss room of the dungeon that I know.

[Because, you guys.]

A humming sound was heard in my ears.

[Because this is the Black Palace!]

A huge black shock wave hit us. It came from a dark-shaped monster wearing a black hood. It was a wave of mana protruding from the tip of the giant scythe held by which was clearly a Powered Reaper!

I was sure that even though I was wearing an ancient grade armor, I would not be able to block it. I immediately grabbed Lee Chan-yu and used Leap and Beast Rush. However, the second and third swings flew in quick succession, making it frightening to land on the floor. It left me with no choice but to continue demanding my movement skills.

But it's not just the enemy.

[Eat everything you want! Food has come to relieve your hunger for years!]

“Ang!”

A koahang!

The seven monsters in the boss room with the Powered Ripper were black, large, red-eyed dogs. There was a picture that came to my mind when I saw them. Hell-hounds. Hellhound.

Even before the Reaper spoke, they were already catching up. When they opened their big mouths, I saw what looked jagged and sharp teeth shaped like saw blades, Even the black flames that were swaying from within the throat were not too frightening.

As I was thinking so, black flames shot out straight from their mouths! They are hell hounds!

“Bos, throw me to them!”

“Try not to die!”

I threw Lee Chan-yu while fleeing from the black flames and the shockwave of the Reaper. Lee Chan-yu takes out his long claws and lands them on the back of a hellhound, shouting War Cry.

“Kha, ah, ah!”

He screamed to attract the attention of the hellhounds. Unfortunately, there is one more trapped in War Cry.

[Are you asking me to take care of you first?]

As he turned to Lee Chan-yu, I rushed towards the Reaper with Surprise, Fairy Tale, Leap, Shadow Walk, and Beast Rush activated at once!

[I read all your energy!]

“Rest.”

Just before reaching it, a giant scythe fell vertically before my eyes, blocking my busyness. You read my energy? What is lying. If I had read my moves earlier, I would not have responded with such passive defense!

‘What is your ability to detect creases as they get closer to you? It could be the ability of a skill or an artifact. ‘

I kicked his scythe to the side and jumped into the air. I glanced at the pale face of the Powered Reaper as if looking through a body hidden under the hood.

At the same time, the power of the Lunatic Trickster triggered three traps. It was all tied up to tie his legs and hang him in the air.

However, the next moment, his body blurred. And just before the trap was triggered, it jumped into the air, moving fast enough to be considered teleportation!

Intuitively, I noticed that the previous Reaper skill was Shadow Step. It was a Shadow Step that far surpassed mine, which was still at a lower level.

[If you want to die that much, I will deal with you first!]

Against the scythe he was holding, I swung it with Blood Shadow. At the clash of the two weapons, mana spewed out like light, with a violent reaction.

Could it be that I did not know I could follow his strength? The Powered Reaper was clearly embarrassed.

[About bugbear issue!]

[Did?!]

As he was injured due to an unexpected counterattack, he retreated. Not wanting to let this opportunity pass me by, I made a black lightning whip with one hand and swung it towards him, circling his neck.

“Hot!”

As I rushed towards him and stabbed my sword at his neck! I think I can finish it this time if I can.

But my judgment was wrong. While Reaper was captured by the whip, his body escaped again, then disappeared and reappeared a short while later.

[My body is close to smooth. You're wrong if you think you can hug me with that kind of magic.]

He did not attack recklessly. Perhaps it was because he was wary of the trap I used on his scythe a while ago. He was just focusing on my time, swinging the giant scythe in his hand.

I became nervous when I found a black gem that shone out of place at the base of the scythe sword. Pelcadia Jewel! Could it be the power of that gem that helped him escape the Black Rose Whip right now?

Regardless, I have to be wary of any traps that might come out. Fortunately, it was one of the things I used to do while hunting various monsters on the third floor.

I fell to the floor again. Reaper rushed towards me as if he was gliding through the air. Dozens of black balls looming around him shot towards me before he could reach me. In retaliation, I must use fire magic.

At that moment, he disappeared in front of my eyes. At the same time, a Reaper scythe rose from my feet.

[Hahahahahahaha!]

Along with Reaper's ominous laughter, a real scythe that glowed black sliced through my body.

[..What? This is not his shadow!]

To explain, he cut off the illusion of my body that only showed my appearance using the Fairy Tale skill. It was an incredible achievement through the connecting ability that I am used to now.

When a trap inside the illusion is triggered, five devil hooks try to catch and pull it. I'm ashamed that Reaper realized it earlier than I thought. Still, when he finished understanding the situation, I was positioned right behind him.

[Intermediate Leap was raised to Level 10 and evolved into Advanced Leap! You can jump in the air again. It just depletes mana and stamina.]

[Starter Fantasy Magic raised Level 10 and evolved into Intermediate Fantasy Magic! It becomes possible to create a more realistic illusion! By consuming mana, imparting power and magic while on illusion becomes possible.]

Without looking into the two notification windows, I swung the Blood Shadow, blowing it towards him. Power Attack, Speed Attack, and finally, blood! At the end of the open swing of the Blood Shadow, the head of the Reaper split into two.

[Kia aaaahhhhhhh!!]

For the first time, he was able to get a satisfying shout from the enemy. However, as he carried out a critical attack, the scythe appeared randomly from all directions.

I hurriedly made full use of the Leap and Beast Rush, retreated and landed. However, the Reaper attack did not end just like that. As I stepped on the floor, a scythe rose from the small shadow created by the light in the dark boss room and tried to cut off my legs!

Observing it with a higher feeling, I left the place just before the scythe caught my ankle. If it wasn't for the Blood Baptism absorbing the light, the shadow would have been even more important than that, and if it was, my ankle would have been cut off no matter what.

‘Good..’.

At this point, I'm sure. The power of the Pelcadia gem that Reaper possessed was nothing but a shadow! The Shadow Walk that was strengthened to its limit and attacked by attacking the shadow of others was an extremely powerful ability. The first thing he read was my movements, probably because of the darkness. I must have stepped on his shadow!

In retrospect, the moment when the Lunatic Trickster appeared was amazing. It was wrong because I was created by my fire magic. Otherwise, the attack would not have worked.

I was lucky in many things. It's like that now.

If it starts attacking my shadow before Leap reaches the advanced level, there is nothing I can do. When he underestimated me, I was very lucky as my skills improved in time.

[Dead!]

I took out the corpse of a higher rare species that I had stored in my inventory, eating it as my illusion jumped into the air. It continued to step in the air without anything as if there were a foot stool.

My shadow no longer threatens me. Not too scary. In the end, the Powered Reaper was just a high-class mid-sized monster.

My illusory tendency to fight was similar to mine, albeit at a lower level. The only thing to watch out for is the shadows!

The shock wave flew again. I avoided him using Leap and Beast Rush at the same time. Once again, I stepped into the air and now saw it in front of me.

I found a way to deal with this, and I was sure not to rely on shadows.

All the trajectories he swung in the air became a mana scythe and flew down my throat. At that time, I used 50% of my mana to activate Intermediate Fire Magic. The flames ensnared me, him, and everyone around him.

[Stupid! Do you think you can burn me with that weak fire?]

Again, the combination of Illusion and Fairy Tale magic left only my presence and illusion in my place. At this close distance, the trap should not have worked, but it will now succeed.

[You're there!]

Dozens of scythes rushed into my illusion. Good. He didn't detect me.

Now that a certain space was filled with fire, no shadows were created. In fact there, it will be far from where we fight.

This strategy will not last long.

Avoiding the scythe flying overhead, I jumped into the air. Using Surprise and Fairy Tales turned me into mist in the flames, with Beast Rush lingering on both my legs. Using Leap creates a foothold in the air. I kicked him.

[Intermediate Beast Rush rose to Level 10 and evolved into Advanced Beast Rush! Accelerating and stopping dead is more manageable. If you use the Beast Rush together with other movement skills, its abilities are strengthened!]

[Congratulations! You have met the requirements to synthesize special high-level skills!]

I don't see the notification window right now. There was no time for skill synthesis during battle.

A black scythe from behind the fire entered my body. Of course, I expected it. It was just one of the powers the Reaper possessed.

However, at this level, the Blood Baptism was impenetrable. In fact, it doesn't cause much damage. The scythe can only serve as a reminder of my true strength compared to the Reaper.

The problem was that it was too late for him to realize it.

As Reaper found the thrust scythe, he looked dumbfounded as I swung all the mana poured into the Blood Shadow.

[What?!]

In one swing, I managed to remove Reaper's neck from his body.

[You gained 250,109 experiences!]

[You earned 500 gold!]

[You obtained the Jewel of Pelcadia (Black)!]

[You have the Little Angel Cloak!]

I looked back, trampling on the Powered Reaper's body that fell to the floor.

I've done my part, so I think it's time to help my partner.

That's what I thought, but Lee Chan-yu had developed into a sniffer dog when I got there.
