Shin Sang Legend
Demon dog
The night has finally arrived.
After sunset, the atmosphere of the forest also became more silent and frightening.
Many of the demon beasts here seemed to be active at night, so as it got dark, many demonic beasts started appearing in various corners of the forest and started to get active.
In such a situation, there was no doubt that night was definitely more dangerous than day.
But fortunately, after sunset, Shin finally managed to find a hiding place that fulfilled his requirements.
'The cave is under the cliff.'
“If it exists, it should be enough for me to spend the night, right?”
Shin looked at the scene while hiding the bushes near the cave, but his face showed no sign of excitement.
Because it's…
Looking closely, a demonic beast lay before the cave.
It was a demon dog with a tiger-like shape, pitch-black skin with spots, and flashing embers on its back.
The demon dog seemed to have slept. It was lying in front of the cave with its eyes closed. His back was swaying, his breathing was calm, but each of his breaths was accompanied by an unbearable heat, with flames coming out from his mouth, nose, and even his tightly shut eyelids. It looks like a hellhound guarding the gates of hell. What a scary sight.
Shin was a little resigned.
After all, he got here by specifically following the response of the [Enemy Detection], so meeting a demonic beast was natural. Still, just looking at the ferocious beast in front of him, Shin was still a little worried.
Based on the response from the [Enemy Detection], this demon dog should be a little weaker than the monsters during the day considering the reaction of his skill was a little weaker, but this was not the same as during the day.
This time, it was not Shin who was attacked, but he who had to attack.
Only in this way could Shin take over the cave and use it as his hiding place.
“Huff..”
Shien slowly adjusted his breathing.
“No problem. With the Holy Sword, there is no way I will fail.”
Shien tightened his grip on the Sacred Sword and motivated himself.
“It's weaker than a bird during the day, and I can shoot that bird, so there's no reason not to be able to shoot this dog.”
Shin said to himself.
However, this time, Shin did not plan to fight his enemy head-on.
Logically speaking, with the protection of the Sacred Sword, and with two maximal skills [Physical Resistance] and [Anti magic] to bring down the damage Shin received, Shin was able to do, when facing a demon dog that was even weaker than a monstrous bird from daylight, Shin should be able to win.
But, please forgive Shin. After all, he was someone from another world who had never really experienced a battle. Facing such a ferocious demonic beast and attacking directly was too much of a feat for him.
Therefore, Shin lowered his breathing and footsteps as much as possible, using the trees and bushes as a cover, slowly approaching.
Skills gained – [Hidden] – Do you want to learn?」
At that moment, the message appeared in Shin's head.
Shin was excited and hurriedly checked it out.

[Hidden]
Passive skills
When entering a state of hiding, lurking, or ambushing, based on skill level, will eliminate the aroma, sound, and even sense of existence at a certain level. If the skill level is high enough, the effect can be passed on to the surrounding environment and others around it.

Initially, Shin was worried that he would be found by his enemy.
No matter how to say it, his opponent was a dog. Shin had actually prepared himself to be exposed due to the scent.
But the appearance of [Hidden] completely dispelled Shin's worries.
Thus, Shin increased this skill to the maximum level without hesitation. With the additional boost of the Holy Sword, the effects of the skill were arguably blown out.
At this moment, Shin had already arrived right behind the demon dog without leaving a trace.
The demon dog that had fallen asleep defenselessly was thus completely exposed before Shin.
And then, Shin acted without hesitation.
“sat set sat set!”
After the Sacred Sword descended, the brilliant and sharp sword pierced through the demon dog's body.
“Meringis!”
The demon dog howled miserably and finally woke up from his sleep. It opened its pair of fire-like eyes and blasted a very hot burst of flames from its body.
Naturally, Shin who was right next to him received a full blast and turned into a burning matchstick.
However, Shin's [Anti magic] skill seems to have been activated. The protection effect of the Holy Sword was also activated, so even though Shin was bathed in flames, he still did not receive any damage. He did not even feel the slightest bit of heat.
Shortly after, the fire went out.
The demon dog that was pierced by the Sacred Sword fell onto the scorched ground. The flames all over his body had been extinguished and the ground beneath him was slowly dyed red by blood. All that was left was the nearby foliage that lit up and slowly burned.
Skills gained – [Killer] – Do you want to learn?」
Shin who managed to kill the demon dog once again acquired a new skill.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
[Killer]
Passive skills
When attacking while in hiding, lurking, or ambushing, increase the chance of instant murder.
When in hiding, lurking, or ambushing, increase your chances of attacking enemy weak points.

Without question, this is also a very practical skill. Shin maxed it out with a racing heart.
“It's all thanks to skill so everything goes smoother than I thought.”
Shin pulled the Sacred Sword from the slain demon dog and took some distance.
After the second time killing the demonic beast, Shin was finally a little more used to it. It was just that the pungent smell of blood seemed to still stir up some sort of trauma within him, forcing him to keep his distance.
“But I can't just let the body go. Otherwise, I will definitely be visited by a demonic beast interested in the scent of blood.”
Realizing that, Shin finally showed his discomfort. He first used the surrounding soil and mud to bury fresh blood, and then dragged the corpse of the demon dog into the cave.
The cave was filled with a stench, besides it was filled with various bones and rotten flesh, all of which seemed to be the previous victims of demon dogs.
Shin wanted to cry.
