The Demon Lord Reborn
Chapter 07: Gram's
While walking leisurely, they continued to watch around closely. Feeling safe, they turned their focus back to the trip. But suddenly, amidst the silence and serenity, a normal-sized Zombie appeared that was running hastily from the trees towards Peace and Astaroth.
“Sial! Should we fight him again? The problem is, my Mana is still a little and not enough to be used in the fight.” Said Astaroth with a hint of panic and a face that looked terrified.
“No, wait a minute... Looking up at the sky, I saw a blond man with sharp eyes who was flying after the Zombie. It's possible, the Zombie ran away from him.” Peace said as he pointed the index finger of his left hand to the sky, the place where he saw the blond man, the sharp eyes in blue, the gray T-shirt, the black pants and the black boots.
“Yes, you're right. Looks like that guy's after a zombie. But based on Zombie's frightened reaction, he's no ordinary player.” Said Astaroth with a hint of fear.
[Skaring information. His name is Gram, his level is 77, he is a demon with various powerful Skills, and it will be dangerous if you make trouble with him. Therefore, the most appropriate choice is to leave this place.]
“Thank you for the information. I'll follow your advice, Emerald.” Peace said from the heart and said to Astaroth, “Astaroth! Let's get out of here. It would be very dangerous if he were aware of the existence of ki-”
Suddenly, Gram descended right in front of Peace and Astaroth, her shockwave making the ground she was treading crack. Afterwards, Gram continued to look at Peace's face using her sharp eyes in surprise.
“P-Peace... Apparently, there was no time to escape... We must continue to be vigilant..” Said Astaroth in panic, fear and trembling.
“Yes... Without you saying that, I would do that too... But unfortunately, Emerald cannot be used to find out the data of other players... Damn, this limit is indeed very detrimental. However, I felt something was strange about him, and this is what made me unable to fear him.” Peace said with a flat face along with a calm demeanor.
“What's weird? Oh, ja. Look to the right, Zombies appear to be running without paying attention to the front. Perhaps, this could be a good opportunity for us to escape. When he is still focused with Zombie, we will immediately run towards the front.” Astaroth said softly.
Suddenly, Gram took out an ice shuriken from her pants pocket using her right hand. Instantly, he threw the ice shuriken towards the Zombie's neck. After the ice shuriken managed to hit the Zombie's neck, the Zombie instantly froze with a still running pose and a frightened face.
After the Zombie freezes, Gram immediately approaches the Zombie's body to be destroyed. But before everything happened, Peace pointed his left palm towards the Zombie. He brings out the ultimate skill to destroy the Zombie first. From the palm of his left hand came a whirlpool that created another water endlessly from within.
The water leads directly to the body of Zombie which makes Gram surprised while saying from the heart, “Don't say?! Shit, do I have to fail again? I just need the skill, you know. I have to speed up every step of the way, if I fail, I have to repeat it again. The thing is, zombies are already very rare in the Yorba forest. This time, I can't fail.”
Gram and Blue Beam are finally racing. But strangely enough, the Blue Beam feels faster every time. Gram whose speed was more than light felt astonished and said, “Why is that pace getting faster? Does the skill have a passive that is getting faster and faster? But it's very possible, anyway. Skill that can bring up passivity on the nurse is at least A level, and Skill Blue qualifies it.”
With a difference of 2 meters between Blue Beam and Gram, the race was won by Blue Beam by a landslide. Blue Beam managed to hit the Zombie body which makes the Zombie instantly destroyed without rest. Spilled water, bulging many tree trunks that make some trees immediately fall.
[Congratulations! Level increased to 14. Congrats! Fragment increased to 7. Congrats! Skill level B, Adaptation, successfully obtained. Congrats! A B-level skill, Eternal, was successfully obtained. Congrats! B-level skill, Grow, successfully obtained.]
“You!! Whatis yourname?! How dare you steal my prey! I'll teach you a lesson!” Said Gram in annoyance as he walked closer to Peace.
“My name is Siyah Peace, the Demon King in the previous world and is the future Demon King in the world of Vanaheim. In addition, I will also rule this world, no matter how.” Peace said as he walked closer to Gram with a flat face.
“S-Siyah... A peace? It feels familiar to hear that name. Then, I apologize for my sassness just now. I'm also begging you to accept me to be your waiter.” Said Gram suddenly and then knelt before Peace.
“Hah?! Whatchu mean? Why did you suddenly say that? Yes, if a strong player becomes my servant, it doesn't matter. But, don't expect me to fully trust you.” Peace said that made Gram happy and smile.
“Maybe, since he is a demon, he wants to be my servant as he is slapped by the aura of the Demon King that is scattered from my body.” Speak Peace from the heart.
“Alright, I understand. I promise not to betray you and make you fully believe in me, that is my promise to you, the real Demon King, Mr. Peace.” Gram said as he stood up.
“Alright, I take your oath of loyalty. Status!” Peace. After saying so, a hologram of Status appeared before him.

“Since the fight against Zombies, I feel Vitality and Mana Point also need to be improved. Even a single blow, I was knocked down, completely embarrassing. Meanwhile, my meager amount of Mana Points, made a lot of losses to me. However, why is it that when I increase Mana Point by 2 times, it increases by 20? And why is it that when I increase Vitality by 3 times, the HP that increases is even 30?” Peace asked from the heart to Emerald while pressing the exit button.
[Different from the others, God made it easier for the lives of the players by creating a law where, HP and Mana Point would increase by 10 every 1 times increased. Therefore, when you press the plus button 3 times to Vitality and 2 times to Mana Point, increase even more.]
