The diamond warrior

William was still confused a bit, no one here should have been able to fight against him. Who was the guy in front of him, and why was he fighting against him. So many questions had to be answered, but William couldn't answer any of them.

While William was thinking, the muscular guy attacked again, William was barely able to react and block the punch. William immediately punched back as hard as he could, but to his surprise was his punch blocked.

His punch that could easily punch through steel was blocked just like that, that shattered Williams confidence. But William wouldn't give up, he kicked and punched again and again. But none of his punches could hurt the enemy.

Meanwhile, each of his enemies punches could damage him badly. It truly was an uneven fight, but weirdly William had fun. The feeling of having his adrenaline flow through him and fighting a seemingly impossible fight. He absolutely loved those feelings, and in that moment something changed inside him.

His strength suddenly rose and managed to blow the muscular guy away. But his punch was too strong. The muscular guy had multiple broken bones and was coughing blood. And William also felt weak, this one punch took all his strength.

He soon blacked out, only hearing people whispering shocked. They would say things about William being a martial artist. Or things about some invincible diamond warrior having lost. But he didn't care about all of that. He was simply too tired for all of this.

But before he lost completely consciousness a system message popped up.

"Congrats on unlocking the first bit of your innate demon powers. The system recommends you to explore your demon powers further. Maybe if you can fully explore them then you might be able to become a devil in the future."

William lost consciousness after reading that message. He only woke up way later in a hospital, when he looked around he saw a bunch of terrifying looking guards surrounding him. He touched his face and was glad when he noticed that the mask was still there.

"Don't worry, we didn't remove your mask out of respect for your strength." The muscular guy that fought with William said this. It seemed like all his wounds healed, he must have gotten incredible medicine.

"Thank you." This was all that William could say. He still felt weak from the fight, using that power seemed to have been more dangerous than he thought. But atleast he now had another trump card, even if that trump card made him black out.

"You seem to be still weak from the fight, I'm Brutus, but most people just call me the diamond warrior. We want to recruit you, everyone who can break through my defense is an incredible warrior that we need," said the muscular guy.

William just nodded, now he understood everything. This guy seemed to be a high ranking official in the army. He saw William fighting and recognized that William was a martial artist. After that he wanted to test William out but got unexpectedly hurt.

And of course now he wants to recruit William, because of his strength. "I still have some things to do and need to recover. I will join next month if that is ok," said William, he wanted to bring the assassination behind him first.

Brutus nodded and said, "that's fine. Rest well, we will go now, let's meet at the arena next month." After saying that he and all his men left the room. They truly seemed to trust him, because why would he refuse joining the army, it was a great opportunity.
