The Birth of the Black Death God (Remake)
Ch. 14
Unlike arrows in general, which usually have sharp eyes made of iron or stone.
Xi's arrow eyes were not that. But a glass bottle with two fingers, inside which there is a purple search.
Xi pulled his bowstring, and started aiming at his target.
His current target was not Demon Snake leading those monsters. Rather, the monsters that were under the lead of Demon Snake.
Xi realized that he was fighting down there right now. Obviously it would hurt him. Not only was he wasting his strength to exhaust that crowd of monsters, but it was also the same as underestimating the Demon Snake ability that he already knew at the moment the Demon Snake's personality was not like those monsters in general.
It would be the dumbest act he ever did if he did that. Not only was it outnumbered, but it was also outnumbered in terms of strength.
At least, if you can't defeat the enemy with your power. Use your brain to think about the most effective way to defeat them without harming yourself.
Just like Xi did at the moment. He realized that he could not win, so he had to think of a plan that could increase his chances of victory.
"Let's start." His red eyes lit up brightly like a starving beast. His sharp glare was pointed towards those monsters.
In addition to strengthening and expanding his range of sight with the magic buff [Vision] Xi also increased the accuracy of his arrow shot with the magic buff [Improving Accuracy]
Take a deep breath, after being fully convinced he started to exhale it again. Alongside the handle on the loose, and the arrow shot out at high speed.
"Now! PUSH!!"
His fired arrows sped swiftly between the trees. Its existence is disguised by shady tree leaves.
It was about one monster. The glass bottle broke and blew up the purple gas.
They're confused. 'What is this purple fog?' the smell is pretty fragrant like perfume. Nothing happens when they inhale the gas.
It stopped for a moment because of the purple mist. They began to walk again looking for the mentioned prey. But-the
"DORRY!!!"
"KRAAAKXX!!"
Just a few steps they moved their legs. Something strange happened to their bodies.
Their legs were trembling, looking like they were no longer able to support the body to stand. Until finally one by one the monsters fell to the ground and were unconscious.
From the mouth, came out disgusting purple foam. It seemed that it was the effect of the fog that was in the form of poison.
This poison is deadly. In addition to attacking the nervous muscles of the body, this poison also attacks the brain and lungs. The spread is relatively slow, but will change quickly when the limbs are in motion. And the poison will trigger, disable the life-sustaining central nerves such as the heart, lungs, and brain.
Seeing that, Demon Snake was extremely confused. "What really happened to them?" That's what's inside his head. He just bends in confusion.
Many of his subordinates had fallen and lost their lives. However, why did it not affect him when he also inhaled the poisonous gas? This could happen because Demon Snake had a weak immunity to poison.
Goblins, Larons, Termites, and other types of monsters that were currently following Demon Snake were low-leveled monsters. Their average level was only level 1-5 and the highest was level 8-10.
Other than those low-level monsters, those monsters also had no resistance to poison. Although the poison Xi used was weak, it was still very effective at disabling or even lethal them.
Indeed, Demon Snake did not have any poison resistance. But, their mutated leader had given them a good buff. It has low levels of poison resistance. Thus, the poison Xi used became ineffective.
Two more arrows shot.
It landed right in the middle of the crowd. As before, in the short instant that the bottle broke, the poison spread around in the form of gas.
Making the monsters that did not get the support of the Demon Snake leader many die.
Notification beat many monsters obtained. However, it did not bother Xi at all, even when he was leveling up though.
In general, people will be happy when they find themselves successfully leveling up. Raising the level is difficult. But, not for Xi, he considered it a normal thing. Maybe it should be considered, but in his current situation it is not important.
Xi prefers to focus on his current goals, rather than reducing his vigilance due to trivialities. It could harm him, Xi did not want that.
'Many of them had fallen, but not a single Demon Snake had fallen... As I thought, they have poison-resistance seeing more, and more thoroughly. Xi realized something. 'WAIT UP! Why are there only four Demon Snake? Where did the other one go?!!'
Xi was really surprised.
Observing the surroundings even more closely, but he did not find the disappearing Demon Snake.
Tampa Xi realized, the Demon Snake that had disappeared from his herd was now behind her
"Buck!"
A BANG! Demon Snake attacked and tried to bite Xi with his big, long fangs like a knife.
Spontaneous Xi immediately dodged when she felt a dangerous chill behind her. The cold had pierced her back, so she realized the danger behind her could threaten her life.
While dodging, Xi saw the Demon Snake hit the tree trunk and looked slightly stuck.
I don't want to miss this golden opportunity. Xi shot back his arrow, and this time he aimed it at the Demon Snake. Of course, the arrow this time was different, the arrowhead was made of red stone which contained a strange symbol on it.
The three arrows he shot out and directly hit the Demon Snake.
A BANG! A BANG! A BANG!
It was a fire arrow that could cause an explosion. Although it was not large, it was still strong enough to crush the stone.
When his attack hit the Demon Snake, Xi muttered slightly with a face that looked incredulous.
'I didn't think that he would be behind me and directly attacked without warning. If only I hadn't noticed, I would have ended up in his mouth by now.'
However, Xi was still unable to hold back his expression of shock, going to the Demon Snake.
'I didn't expect him to be this smart. It seemed like he slipped away from his herd as Poisonous Gas covered the view. Very clever, but how could he find me who in fact, I had hidden well enough?'
Xi astonishment. Before starting his first attack, Xi had ascertained the surrounding, and he was sure that there were no other monsters in except him at the moment.
He had not expected this one Demon Snake to be able to find his hiding place so quickly. Xi assumed, this one Demon Snake was far from normal. Or, all of these Demon Snake were indeed not Normal.
As a predator Apex occupying the top position in the Asgar Forest. Demon Snake had very well understood, and recognized the surrounding environment. Or rather, they, Demon Snake had gotten to know their territory well.
Thus, it makes it easier for them to hide, move quietly without being noticed, and be able to track and find the location of someone who is hiding. With their sharp heat sensor detectors and their range is very wide.
What needs to be noted is, not all Demon Snake has the ability to detect heat sources with a wide range. Only a few of them can do it. Like the Demon Snake that snickered Xi at the moment, he possessed such an ability. And it has great potential, which can make it the king of monsters in the future.
But will Xi allow that to happen?
Of course not, Xi had already realized how dangerous this one Demon Snake was. If it was allowed to continue to evolve, then this one would be a monster with a high level of disaster.
[Monster Name: Demon Snake] Monster Race: Demon Snake. Threat Level: Intermediate. Level 20. It has the potential to become even stronger.
The smoke of the explosion covered the view. When it blew fiercely, and dispelled the smoke that covered Demon Snake. Xi could see even more clearly, and at this moment he was shocked.
'Even after three explosions... He's still not hurt? How hard is his skin?'
Xi pulled his bowstring again, and prepared to attack Demon Snake. With his current distance, Xi was certain that the Demon Snake was unable to reach him.
Xi still uses the same arrows, which are explosive arrows. The reason Xi was able to get the explosive arrows was, was because Xi bought them while still inside the city. Precisely, before he took the Quest.
Despite already knowing that the small explosion could not hurt Demon Snake. Xi tried it anyway. Reason, because. Xi wanted to find out how much Demon Snake could withstand the explosion from his arrows.
'Let's see how much you can withstand the explosion!' the arrow returned Xi fired. One precisely hit Demon Snake's body once again.
As expected of Demon Snake as an Apex predator in the Asgar forest. He had a strong defense, even with four shots it still did not make his defense break.
He fired his arrows again, and this time he fired two shots at once. Demon Snake was unable to dodge completely, as his current area was too narrow for his large body.
CRUST! Crack sound.
The snake seemed to be writhing in pain. It fell to the ground very hard from a height.
"There is no hope for you to live!" Again and again Xi fired his arrows, this time not an explosive arrow, but an ordinary arrow. And it was pointed directly at the fallen Demon Snake, two arrows pierced through his right eye and it went very deep. And another arrow stuck in the injured part of the body.
In the attack, Xi placed poison in the eyes of his arrows. A fairly powerful poison that he bought from a merchant.
Although Demon Snake had immunity to poison, but it would decrease when he was injured. Xi took advantage of the opportunity very well.
And again, the poison Xi used was not an ordinary poison. But, Poisonous monsters that can kill monsters with strong defenses in an instant. "Three-Eyed Purple Snake Poison" Is one of the deadly poisons that even a drop of its venom can kill an elephant in a matter of seconds.

"Very good, it looks like now is the perfect time to use some of my points."
Before using, of course Xi will think about it first. And before that, he was looking for a safe place to do so.
Approaching one of his troops, he obtained a suitable place to hide for a while. That is, on a large rock in the interior of the forest.
Xi sat on top of the new one, leaning his legs. He thought, Which stat should he improve first.
"The mission this time is to defeat five Demon Snake, and I have managed to subvert one. Come to think of it, increasing strength was also important in this regard, I could have dealt with Demon Snake one-on-one easily, but..."
"Demon Snake was not a monster that would fight sportively. Although initially one-on-one, in the end he will also bring friends. Meanwhile, the two Jobs I have focused more on strength, speed, and magic. I can't just raise it, this point is very important!"
Xi closed his eyes, he completely dissolved in confusion. The above three points are the most important stat for the current situation.
In fact, his job as Prince of Darkness prioritizes the ability to fight distance beats, and dark magic and various other types of magic.
As the Prince of Darkness who was proud of strength, a power-fighting fighter was highly sought after. In addition to having an unusually strong attack power, the Prince of Darkness also had strong endurance, endurance, and defense.
It can withstand various attacks, especially blows, rough attacks, magic attacks, and the worst can minimize the damage received by the explosion.
Meanwhile, as Prince of Death. Xi was able to control death in his hands. You can uproot a life like picking a flower.
Unlike the Prince of Darkness who was suitable in a long-term fight. The Prince of Death was more superior in fast-paced combat abilities, as the focus of his abilities was speed, sharp attacks, large amounts of mana, sharp senses, and speed in casting magic. (No need to cast any more magic spells)
The Prince of Death was extremely superior in controlling death magic, and one of them was a Death-type magic that could grant instant death to his opponent. In addition, his ability in using negative magic was also very extraordinary. The negative magic that is used can increase its effect drastically.
If Xi had a Resistens, then the effect would multiply many times as well. I can say, This job is the most annoying and very bad. There are no bad side effects, even if you have exceeded the limits of what you should be able to use.
Both of these jobs are very extraordinary, having to their respective flagship. And because of these two Jobs, Xi gained a very unique ability, the Darkness Army.
After a long thought, Xi began to decide to choose which stat he should improve on first.
"Alright, I'll increase my Intelligence and Strength first. And next, I'll increase Angility and Sense."
Xi gave out 6 Stat Points in Stat Strength, and now his Stat Strength had increased to 48.
And the remaining 10 points Xi used in the Intelligence stat. Now his Intellectual Stat is 52.
