The Birth of the Black Death God (Remake)
Ch. 4 Asgar Forest
Asgar Forest. Everyone has known this forest as a beginner forest. Where many low-ranking creatures live there. And this forest is perfect for training for basic or beginner rank adventurers. Because the danger posed by this forest is not high.
The creatures that inhabit the Asgar forest one example is the Goblin. The Goblin Race was the lowest Demi-Human Race, and had low strength as well.
Although it has been confirmed by the state, the Forest that is west of Hilga City, Asgar Forest is not dangerous. Still the basic adventurers and beginners should remain cautious.
Calm does not mean peace, peace does not mean harmless.
Several reports have been received by the Adventurers Union, several times there are monsters that dominate the visible forest.
From the information obtained from the teachers of the adventurer academy, and some novice patualang who carried out the mission there.
They had seen a snake that was 10 meters long.
In the written report. The snake was not only long, but also large. The scales were black to the upload, and very hard, almost as hard as steel. His fangs are 14 centimeters long. The pointed end is very sharp like a new blade. Able to tear human skin easily, and inject poison from its fangs on its prey or its opponent.
The monster is very powerful, and extraordinary. Not many adventurers dared to provoke him. Even those who had reached the silver rank, did not dare to act out of sorts, and had to think twice and maturely when faced with it.
Although the poison is not deadly, but it is still dangerous. Because, the poison can paralyze every nerve in the body in a short time. It spreads through blood vessels, and it deactivates the nerves of motion of living beings.
Causing them to be paralyzed, and become his meal. He is Demon Skane. Predatory apex that occupies the Asgar forest.
A beautiful night passed quickly. The gusts of the night wind had changed, and the night sky was illuminated by the sunlight.
The wind in the morning makes the body shiver. Dews in the leaves of trees gather, falling from the leaves as water droplets. And the water droplets hit something that was in his subordinates.
Right now, precisely inside the Asgar forest there had been a terrible slaughter. Many corpses of monsters were scattered everywhere, and from every wound on their bodies the result of a hard blow, and slashes and sword stabs.
Someone was sitting on the rock, under his feet were many pieces of termite bodies. It is about 10 centimeters in size.
He awoke from his sleep, takala as drops of water fell right above his head.
Open his eyes slowly. Eyeballs that sparkle like pearls, red pupils are like beautiful ruby crystals in the light of night.
After the massacre that night, he woke up with little change. The pupils of his previously dark/black eyes, now turned as red as the eyes of a dragon.
Maybe it would be strange if someone saw it, especially if it was human. They will realize that Xi is not human. Then, what would they do to Xi if it was true that Xi was not human? Will they drive him out of the human settlements? Or accept as guests as they accept other human beings?
Rationally. Perhaps they would be afraid if they let other creatures enter the human settlement. However, in this world today such things are not strange anymore.
There are many other Humanoid creatures living in human settlements or human cities. One example was the Beastman Race, as well as the Elf Race.
Both races are the most common, and can almost be found in any city, even any country.
They were also caught, and sold on the black market. Sold as a slave.
When Xi looked at the surroundings that were filled with piles of monster corpses. He did not feel disgusted at all, and even considered her a natural, ordinary thing.
Perhaps this is also the influence of his previous life, when he was still alive like a human. Not like a dragon. He used to be a great warrior who had committed many cruel massacres on his enemies.
In addition to his true race as a dragon, Xi felt nothing even after killing them, and considered it normal. As a dragon, he had his own policies, a high self-esteem, and looked down on other creatures.
In this world, the Dragon Race was the strongest Race ever. Of all the things in this world, only a handful can compete with the dragons.
Even to stop the glory, the glory of the dragons in the past, the gods had to go through a very long war, very detrimental, many sacrifices, and destruction.
"Show Status."
He asked the system as the Hots/owner of the system to display his status.
Listen to Xi's request. The system responds quickly. Display Xi's status board according to what requested.
Overnight, Xi has made many developments, developments that many people may not be able to make. That is, raising his level quickly, in a short period of time.
This is something very extreme, which is rarely even done by people.
If they see this, they'll say "it's really crazy!" Something so dangerous like this, obviously life is at stake.
The more dangerous, and the bigger the bet, the more results will be obtained.
That was probably what Xi had in mind at the moment. But, if it was in the minds of others, they would say"similar to bringing life to death "Something like this is not recommended for beginners. Because it is too dangerous, and the death ratio reaches 98.7%.

[Happy Host has earned a title of "Eleterminating Insects" All kinds of attacks increase 10% when facing insect/Insecta type enemies.]
[Hidden mission successfully completed.] [Quest : Reach Level 10 in one night Rewards: All Stats increased +3]
[Terms have been met, now the Host can use all the skills they have.]
[Terms have been met, Normal Shop available]
Xi was quite surprised. Though, the intention of the heart only wanted to see his level personally. However, it was not that he had unknowingly completed a hidden Quest that even he did not know. When, and where he got the Quest.
Even so, he was not upset. Now he was quite happy, because he felt that he was strong enough with the power he had now. Moreover, now he could use all the skills he had.
If only this Quest was not completed, and he got a notification from the system regarding the Quest that was out of time. He must be upset. For Xi, like whatever his Quest was, as long as the reward was in his favor, he would not hesitate.
Looking at his right hand, he was currently trying to activate one of the skills he possessed.
"Skill [Claw of Darkness]" When activated, as the name implies. The darkness that is the real outgrowth of its power is rising.
Darkness enveloped his right hand, and formed a claw that looked like a sharp dragon claw.
With this skill, some attack power will increase drastically, to the point of being able to kill enemies who have a slightly higher level on it.
The density of the darkness that formed a claw was as good as iron armor. It can shatter rocks, and tear armor.
Xi came down, standing in front of the rock that was his seat earlier. Hit the stone using his [Claw of Darkness].
A BANG! The sound of a loud blow. Dust flying.
The power of his punch was incredible. Even Xi was not out of thought, with just one strike. The hard-looking stone was instantly smashed into pieces. The initial shape is no longer visible, and now the stone looks like a pebble on the side of the road.
"I didn't expect it, it turned out that his strength was this strong. With a skill like this, it should defeat the enemy, and leveling up would be even easier." Xi was very confident in his current self. Although he was always confident, but he was never this optimistic. The strength he could give him an even greater chance of becoming stronger. With this he no longer had to worry. But, even though power is great, there is a price to pay."It is strong, but its energy consumption is quite a lot. This skill is not suitable for long battle, I can only use about 2-3 times a day with which I have the current."
Xi thought.
"Show shop"
Another screen appeared before him. It was a shop screen that showed several types of items on its tamnel section.
"I can sense all the skills I have right now, require a large energy consumption, it's not good for now."
"What I need right now is a simple, but useful skill. It doesn't need to be overwhelming, what's the point of it if it can't be used."
Some of the skills available in the Normal Shop are bought. There were about three Skills purchased, and those three skills were what he thought were the most useful right now.
In addition to the Skill, Xi also bought some items. Making use of his meager Gold, this time he was unable to just buy. He really thought about it carefully.
Everything he bought went straight into the inventory. The skill purchased from the system shop turned into a Rune Stone. And this applies to all the skills that are in the system shop at any level.
The moment Xi bought the Skill, those skills would turn into Rune Stones. Where the Rune Stone will store the skills it has bought. It was only necessary to destroy the Rune Stone to obtain its skill. It wasn't so difficult, let alone Rune Stone wasn't as hard as stone. It's more like dry clay, and the contents inside are empty.
There is nothing in it, except a collection of pure energy that references an existing skill. From the very beginning, the skill on the Rune Stone had been determined, it could not be changed at any cost.
Rune Stone he took. Hold it in both hands.
[Destroy the Rune Stone to get his skill]
The order from the system that asked him to smash the three stones engraved strange symbols on top of his palm.
Listening to that, Xi understood.
KRACK! He held the three stones in both hands. Everything instantly shattered together, and the blue-colored energy coming from within the Rune Stone entered into him.
Three Rune Stones, each one storing a different skill. When his aura entered the body, he was in his head about the three skills purchased from the shop.
As if it had been etched into his soul, Xi had fully grasped the abilities of the skill at his disposal. This was natural, because he really had a good understanding of some things.
[Master Hosts get {Strike} skill] [Master Host get {Dash} skill] [Master Host get {Mana Barier} skill]
Those three skills were not high-level skills, they were just Normal skills. And many people in this world with Job as a "Warrior" or "Swordman" have two of those three.
When someone has reached a high enough level, maybe the three skills they can say as "Useless" skills But, for those at low levels, the three skills are very useful.
People with high levels, the amount of their MP must be very much, it was natural why they could forget about basic skills. Because with a large amount of MP, most of them will use more powerful skills.
There's nothing wrong with that. That's a normal thing for everyone to do. Even a king.
"Yos, everything is ready. Now, it's time for me to get out of this forest. But before that, hmmm... Let me try something first."
A skill is activated. The sinister darkness rattled the souls of all the dead.
[Summon Army of Darkness, has activated] [Sacrifice the souls of those who have died to summon your soldiers]
Put his hand on the ground. In an instant the darkness expanded to 20 meters. Covering all the bodies of all the creatures within a radius of 20 meters under the darkness.
[Sacrifice the souls of those who have died to summon your soldiers]
Xi swallowed his saliva. It felt heavy, he thought if this would work? What would his army be like after he summoned him to this world?
'Don't know if I didn't try.' Mumbled in the heart. His face was a little dry. Seemed like he was extremely tired, it seemed like summoning the dark warrior consumed a large amount of mana.
"I'm the Prince of Darkness. Command all of you who have died to rise again!!"
When those words fall. Death within him awakens. Poison the ground, and rot anything that passes through it.
The world of death has been shaken by death itself, and those who have died hear its call. A call from an esteemed Prince of Darkness.
The sound of roars, shouts of excitement resounded within the vast forest. The black light shone so strongly.
All of them were vying to answer the call of an esteemed Prince of Darkness.
A certain amount of energy had condensed their souls. Covering the entire soul with the darkness given by the Prince of Darkness as a medium for the formation of the spiritual body. To manifest the manifestation of the spiritual body in the world.
[Those Who Died Answering Your Call] [They Who Died Answering Your Call] [They Who Died Answering Your Call] [They Who Died Answering the Call.].
[Hosting funds are not sufficient. Those Who Die Will Return in Absence]
The scenery shown by this skill was so sinister. The monsters that had previously died fighting against him back then came back to life.
Their souls have united with darkness, and darkness is their spiritual body.
Those who have risen, answering the call of the Prince of Darkness, gain immortality and multifaceted loyalty to Death and Darkness.
Of the hundreds of monsters that existed before, only ten of them had risen from the dead. Their eyes looked happy as they, the monsters bowing their heads to the Prince of Darkness, their master.
The joy in their hearts was unimaginable, how should they serve the Master? Of course, by following his orders, the orders he gave them.
Whatever it is, even if it is a good, even evil, the Army of Darkness will carry out all its commands without exception. All will be completed in accordance with the wishes of their Master. Prince of Darkness Xi Arcadia.
'My job as Prince of Darkness allows me to resurrect them. Although 30% of which has been saved. Still, at my current low level, summoning many troops is impossible.' Standing before his army as dashing as a king.
"So, this is the Army of Dariness? They are monsters that I have defeated before. Interesting too, this is great."
The ten monsters that were before him right now were 3 Laron, 4 Goblin, 2 Termites, and Queen Laron.
Their physical form did not change, still the same as their physical form in general. Only, right now their bodies were not Material bodies, but spiritual bodies. A body formed from the density of darkness energy.
"I don't know what they're as great as, but I don't intend to test them now. Everything's back."
Xi called them back in the dark. When needed later, he can call those who have succeeded in getting up.
Not everything came back, he left one laron to stay. Since this forest was vast, it was difficult for him to find a way out. Although it had seen a human city before, but it would not be easy.
Xi ordered the laron to fly high, and indicated the direction of the road leading to the human city.
Laron understood, and quickly carried out the task given. He guided Xi's path, from the air, and Xi followed him from below.
"The human city, I'm coming."
He was really excited when he thought he was going to go out of the forest and see the wider world. He was very curious, and wanted to reveal all his curiosity about this world. The world's birthplace.
