Dungeon Hunter
Chapter 11's

King of Demonic Beasts, Ubist

I'll teach you the gladiator technique later. You're not ready yet" Burkan said.

"Then what about the Battle Against 100 Men prize?" Kang Oh asked.

"Follow me."

Burkan fiddled with the ornaments attached to the wall, which led to the appearance of a secret passageway.

Kang Oh and Burkan then walked through the secret passageway.

The secret passageway brought them lower underground than the underground arena.

It is strange to think that there is such a natural and deep place under the Holiseum.

There are stalactites attached to the ceiling, as well as fine crystals that emit light.

"It's an adamantium gemstone" Burkan said, pointing to a stone.

The area was as dark as the night sky, but was illuminated by star-like adamantium embedded from above.

"Heok!"

'This is all adamantium?'

Adamantium is the heaviest metal in the world!

So, it is also one of the most expensive metals in the world.

Besides, the jewel was huge!

If he kissed the gem, he would get a significant amount of adamantium. So much so that he could create a weapon composed entirely of adamantium!

Gulp down.

Kang Oh gulps.

He did not know the exact market price for adamantium. Because it has never appeared on the market before. Probably worth more than 100 million.

But there was a sword embedded in the precious metal.

"That's..."

"That's the devil's sword."

Greatsword black as night. A black fog dripped out from the embedded area.

"And the prize for conquering Battle Against 100 Men is that gemstone adamantium," Burkan said.

'To think that it's all mine!'

He could not smile any wider.

Yet...

It was indeed the reward, but it was conditional.

"But only if you are able to use that sword," Burkan pointed at the sword and said.

Then a search appeared.

[Devil Sword Court]

The demon sword was a sword shrouded in darkness. Its power was such that it threatened to engulf its user as well.

Only the greatest swordsman could hope to wield such a demonic sword.

Are you qualified to follow in their footsteps?

Overcome the demon sword ordeal and prove your worthiness.

Difficulty: Not yet decided.

Provision: Battle Settlement Against 100 People.

Gift: Hidden Class Change

Failure: Battle Prize Against 100 Men cancelled. Losing control of your character.

'Hidden class changes!'

Since hidden classes were extremely difficult to achieve, it was common knowledge that they were much stronger than normal classes.

Although he drooled because of his reward, he did not act impulsively.

Because if he failed, he would lose his reward for the Battle Against 100 Men, adamantium!

So then...

"You are not only a great warrior who completed the Battle Against 100 Men, but also my younger brother, so I know you will be able to overcome the Examination of the Demon Sword."

Burkan patted Kang Oh's shoulder.

[Because of your proximity to Burkan, you are forced to accept the quest.]

"I'm sorry?"

His increased closeness with Burkan, whom he was very fond of, had turned into misery.

It seemed like he was forced to dive into the water when he did not even know how deep it was!

"Try it immediately, like a man," Burkan encouraged and urged him.

"Wait a minute, Brother!"

"What's wrong?"

"I'll try it. But! Please give me some time."

Now that it came to this, he had no choice but to overcome the Demon Sword Trials. Adamantium is at stake.

If that was the case, then he needed to gather as much information as possible. He didn't want to start with anything.

"Good."

Burkan took out an hourglass and turned it over, causing the sand to start falling.

"I'll give you 5 minutes."

It only takes 5 minutes before all the sand reaches the bottom.

Kang Oh rushed to the sword.

"Value."

[Nameless Sword]

The sword cannot be identified. The material also could not be identified. The ravine endlessly flowed from his blade. The blade occasionally trembled.

Rank: Unable to identify

Ability: Unable to identify

Limitations: Unable to identify

"Hm."

He had so little time and the amount of information he could gather was too little. Even so, there is something to be had.

The search had told him everything he needed to know.

He could only attempt a quest if he completed the Battle Against 100 Men. And there's a 'gulf' part of the description of the sword.

'I will be blinded. Maybe some kind of darkness.'

This is the result of his logical inference.

'Am I also unable to use any items or skills? There probably won't be a big impact on my stats.'

In other words, Fighting Against 100 Men was a kind of exercise. For his main event, the Demon Sword Trials.

'My level is the problem.'

Battle Against 100 Men does not impose level limits.

Which meant that the increase in one's HP, MP, and Stamina from leveling up would not be affected.

So, the higher the level, the better one's profit. But at the same time, the gladiators will become stronger if the level of the players is higher.

So, it was better to try a quest at a low level.

Will the Demonic Sword Trials follow the same logic?

"Maybe."

If the Demonic Sword Trials had a fixed level of difficulty, then there would be a level limit on the practice, Battle Against 100 People.

He, a level 1 player, was able to defeat him, but it was still a quest that rankers several levels higher than him were unable to overcome.

So, the difficulty depends on one's level!

'So it all depends on your level.'

If that was the case, he was naturally drawn to a certain conclusion.

The demon sword had the same level as the one who drew it!

In other words, if Kang Oh level 1 conducted a trial, then the difficulty would be set only at level 1.

'I can do that!'

He's got a plan.

Although all the sand had yet to fall, Kang Oh grabbed the sword hilt.

[The Devil Sword Trial has begun!]

"Adamantium!"

As soon as he shouted, the flowing darkness agglomerated into one demonic beast and rushed towards Kang Oh!

Kuhongs!

The demonic beast roared and the world was shrouded in darkness.

Is this the abyss, where no light can reach it?

[You have heard the roar of the King of Demonic Beasts, Abyss Predator Ubist. Ubist's roar raises fear in his prey and causes their abilities to decline.]

[You can overcome your fear through Indomitable stat. Your abilities are not down.]

'Sweep!'

The side stat, which he obtained after battling against the old geezer, Rain, did his job.

And...

'This must be level 1.'

Indomitable Kang Oh stat is only 10. Even so, he was able to overcome Ubist's roar, meaning weak.

Ubist quickly approached and aimed at the center of Kang Oh's chest with his claws.

Kang Oh foresees his attack with Hyper Intuition and pulls himself back.

The buwahk!

He could hear his claws tearing through the air where he used to be.

'My intuition hyper works. I can do this.'

He couldn't see anything, but Kang Oh was calm. Kang Oh thrust his sword according to his Hyper Intuition.

He was currently holding a nameless demonic sword.

Kang Oh couldn't see it, but he knew based on the feeling of the hilt.

Peock!

She heard him make contact and could feel the sting in her hand as well. He followed his Hyper Intuition and attacked the weak spot, so it must have been a critical attack.

The kuaang!

Ubist shouted and immediately counterattacked. Kang Oh used a sword to protect the area where he felt cold.

Kang!

A sharp metallic sound was heard. Kang Oh's body was pushed backwards. Ubist's invisible power is beyond his imagination.

Ubist kept attacking, pushing him again and again. It attacked consecutively and Kang Oh could barely block his attack!

It was not called the Demon Beast King for no reason.

However, Kang Oh would not just sit back and accept it.

Every time his Hyper Intuition showed a weak point, he would attack him like lightning.

Block, attack. Block off. Block off. Avoid, slash!

Every single one of his successful attacks was a critical blow.

Kuhungs. Kung!

Ubist screams in pain.

'Let's defend!'

Kang Oh's confidence gradually increased.

But there was no way the Demon Beast King, Ubist, would lose just like that.

[Ubist health less than 50%.]

[Now, Ubist's main body and Ubist's clone, consisting of darkness, will attack you.]

The two Ubist attacked Kang Oh's head and legs simultaneously.

Kang Oh quickly rolled on the floor.

His back was burning, as if he had placed a pain reliever on it. Ubist's claw must have clawed it.

[You've received 50 damages. The rest of your HP is 60.]

"You took half of my HP with one punch!" Kang Oh yelled.

Both Ubis continued their violent attacks.

A series of fierce attacks was similar to the midwinter cold wind.

"Let's see who wins in the end!"

Kang Oh couldn't let this continue, so he prepared himself for a counterattack.

Now 2 Ubis clashed with him in the bottomless pit.

He attacked and defended many times.

As a result, Kang Oh's expression gradually darkened.

"I can't keep going like this."

Kang Oh barely blocked or avoided the main body attack and copying. He also counterattacked when he had the chance.

He kept walking on that rope, but his stamina had become a problem.

If his stamina runs out, then the game will end right then and there. He had to figure out how he would survive before that.

'I will focus entirely on the main one!'

He had made sure that the clone's attack was weaker than the main body.

As he blocked their attacks, the clone's attacks provided less power.

'The copy could not be stronger than the main one. If that is the case, then ... '

The rest of Kang Oh's HP was 60.

Ubist had done 50 HP worth of damage in a single blow. If he had not been hit in the vital area, then he could have received one more blow.

'Give up meat to save bones!'

He was deliberately struck once to deliver a bigger blow.

What if the damage is greater than 50 or he is exposed in a vital area?

Then he'll die, 100%.

But if he kept himself as safe as he did, then he would run out of Stamina and still lose.

In the end, Kang Oh only had one choice!

Long ago...

'Now!'

Ubis attacked from the front and back. Kang Oh did not dodge the attack; instead, he rushed forward.

Towards Ubist's main body!

As a result, his back was struck by clone claws.

[You got an attack from Ubist's clone. You have received 40 damages.]

[Show HP: 20]

"Well!"

Kang Oh did his best to swing his sword according to his Hyper Intuition.

"Please die!"

Peock!

What a refreshing sound, similar to a metal bat hitting a home run! His hands were tingling with excitement, like he caught a big catch!

That must have been a critical blow. Not just that, but a critical attack that had resulted in a lot of damage!

If he could see in front of him, then he would see many chunks of bright red light shards coming out from his body.

Kungs. Kung. (like dog barking)

Ubis yells. It was like the sound of a dog being frightened as it shrank from danger.

[The rest of Ubist's life is below 10%. After sensing the danger, Ubist had retreated deep into the abyss.]

[You have completed the Demon Sword Trial. You have been acknowledged by the devil's sword.]

"I did it!"

Kang Oh enjoyed his victory and unsheathed the sword towards the sky.

At the same time, something appeared in front of him. It was the abyss that bound Ubist and the demon sword into one.

In the demon world, Ubist was the lowest of the lowest.

But one day, he coincidentally drinks the blood of the devil. Through this, he gained the ability to devour!

The more he eats, the stronger it becomes. Without limits. And Ubist eats non-stop.

It started with small insects and beasts, then continued on to the ferocious beasts. And finally, he ate demonic beasts and demons as well!

In the end, for Ubist, after becoming the Demon Beast King, the bottomless pit was also nothing more than food.

Abyss Predator, Ubist.

Ubist cannot be full and continues to eat everything in sight.

In the end, it devoured the wall that separated the demon world and the Arth Kingdom, and came to Arth.

To eat everything in Arth!

But then...

A middle-aged warrior (male or female) was standing in front of him. The sword they held was no stranger to Kang Oh.

It was a nameless sword!

His sword form was similar, but it felt completely different from the current one.

It was not a sword that emitted darkness, but a sword that was amazing enough to be called the best sword in the world!

Moreover, the skill of the middle-aged warrior was enough to call them a swordsman.

Divide sea!

Their attack split Ubist in two and then absorbed into the sword.

Then, the sword adopted a jet-black figure familiar with Kang Oh.

The birth of the devil sword.

After which, the middle-aged warrior went around, defeating anything and everything that harmed the empire with the demon sword behind him.

Destroy the man-eating tribe, Nescari! Fight a bloody battle against the Knight of Chaos, Saca! Conquer the ultra-large raid boss of the Great Forest, Yakon!

However, people were afraid of the middle-aged warrior, the owner of the demon sword, and called out to them...

The Demon Sword Swordsman Valan!

[Unknown, great warrior, you have learned the secret of Valan's achievement.]

[If the historical association knew this, then they would reevaluate Valan.]

[You have obtained information regarding the demon sword and Splitting the Sea.]

[Before you learn the skill of 'Dividing the Sea', you must master cutting first.]

[Do you want to turn the class into a hidden class, the Demon Swordsman?]
