Overwhelming force

-Chapter 144: Overwhelming force

Woooosssh…~*

As soon as she drank the potion completely, Har's entire body began to emanate red colored smoke, it can be said that this is the only side effect of the potion, but it does not affect anything at all.

In-game, it's just a visual effect that activates when a player is under an abnormal effect, be it poisoning or other things like potions, but it obviously gives off a startling impression outside of the game world, almost like Har is burning moisture. from his entire body, or more shocking in this case, this red colored smoke…it's almost as if his own blood is evaporating.

"Incredible…"

Har opened his eyes, which had been closed to feel the increase in power, looked at his right hand and clenched his fist, as a result, he was able to feel extraordinary strength like never before, dare he say that even the strength enhancement provided by the Lighthouse on the first floor did not match this level.

It's not that the beacon's power is inferior to that of the potions, but that he himself was very weak at that time, so the increase in strength was much less compared to now, even after adding all the attribute points. on the first floor, he did not bother to experience the increase in power in the slightest.

"Grwaaaah!!"

At this moment, Har was taken from his thoughts by the roar of the dark demon, he had noticed Har in the sky just now, he flapped his wings and flew very quickly in his direction.

Woosh!*

In just a few seconds, the demon arrived in front of him carrying an energy sphere in front of his mouth, furthermore, his fists clenched and he seemed to be about to strike.

Seeing this, Har realized that the speed of this demon was also very high, so, he put the Shulker chest and the empty bottle into the merchant inventory with a thought, it's time to test this increased strength.

Woosh!*

Suddenly, the demon unleashed a series of punches from him and was about to hit Har, but there's no way, Har disappeared without giving him a chance to hit him.

With the usual burst, Har appeared behind the demon and didn't waste a second, instead of punching with a fist, he preferred to check his strength in another way, exerting all his strength on his right arm and patting the demon on the back quickly.

BOOM!!* Crack!*

Swoosssssssh!!*

As soon as Har's palm hit, all the scales shattered and Har's palm slammed into the opponent's body, the demon felt an overwhelming force push it forward, as if it was somehow struck by someone using a sword. baseball bat the size of a skyscraper at high speed.

"Blergh!!"

Without even being able to react, Har could only hear a short sound of pain, because, with a bang caused by the distortion of the wind and even sound, the demon was shot like a high-speed cannonball even before the blood came out. from his mouth, his body broke the air and flew for a while, it is not known how many of his bones were broken, but his spine was bent in such a way that his arms and legs formed an abnormal angle and almost touched behind his back .

He flew for more than 100 meters leaving a trail of blue blood in his path, only when the momentum granted by Har's punch wore off did the demon finally start to fall.

'Incredible..'

Har was a bit surprised, with his original strength he could only send Piccolo flying a little over ten meters, even though his body was very large, it seems that his strength was not that incredible. like now.

But on second thought, it was to be expected, if a 260% increase is applied to his strength…in theory he should get the strength of a lower A rank runner, or in terms of the tower, he would become a rank runner B top.

It's just that the increase from the potions is applied directly to his body and not his attribute points, so it's hard to tell exactly if he's comparable to a lower A-rank Runner.

This goes both ways, it could be that he's weaker or even stronger than an A rank Runner, after all, the power boost you get from increasing attribute points isn't always the same, you've experienced it before with his speed.

The amount of points you need to add to agility to achieve a significant speed increase is much higher than before, so Har can sense something, maybe the more powerful you get the harder it is to keep increasing your power.

Har doesn't know if his hypothesis is correct, but it doesn't seem like a big deal to him even if he's right, mostly because he possesses these potions, even if he's just a lower B-rank runner now, he should be able to take on a higher B-rank or Even if you're lucky, you should have a chance to win against an A rank.

'But, if it's possible that my strength has increased over 10,000 points, what if I increase my speed?'

Looking at the demon in the distance, who was falling through the clouds and seemed unconscious, Har thought about the speed potion, how terrifying would be the effect of combining his strength and speed after taking that thing?

…

Bam!!*

"Ugh!"

Under the night sky, a figure flew through rubble and finally crashed into a ruined building, his body embedded in the brick wall causing him great pain.

Tump!*

This person's bloody body fell from the wall hitting his head on the floor, blood spurted from his nose and mouth giving him a pitiful appearance, this person is Peter Parker.

"Tsk!"

Still in this situation, Peter Parker squeezed the rubble under his body with his hands and tried to get up, but at that moment…

"Ugh!!!"

Peter let out a loud cry of pain and fell to the ground again, looking up, he could see a scene that would be shocking to anyone, actually, a human skeleton was standing next to him and stabbed Peter's hands with a kitchen knife. .

But this is not the only one of its kind, behind him you can see dozens of similar skeletons, all of them holding weapons of daily use for battle, tools such as mallets or wrenches, others with kitchen knives and all kinds of sharp weapons, obviously they must have been stolen after searching through the rubble.

In the background of everyone, Peter could hardly see the silhouette of a terrifying demon, with black scales all over its body and accessories made of bone, its sharp claws are exaggeratedly long and shine under the moonlight, almost as if each one from his nails was a Japanese sword or something similar, this demon is the summoner of these skeletons and Peter's biggest nightmare.

Around 30 minutes ago, when a dimensional portal opened near Peter and a bunch of demons came out, he naturally avoided fighting knowing that he might die if he showed himself, and just as he was trying to escape, that demon he had been fighting earlier found him. and started firing a large number of attacks destroying everything down to the rubble.

But this was just lucky for himself, the attacks of that bloodthirsty demon also hit the others coming out of the portal, those bastards seemed really crazy and started hitting each other, taking advantage of this moment, Peter he marched jumping and hiding between buildings.

But his luck doesn't last forever, and after happiness comes pain, because Peter suddenly met a group of skeletons when he was passing inside a ruined building, he was immediately intercepted and surrounded by a bunch of skeletons.

Although his own strength was superior to that of these bags of bones, Peter was slowly overwhelmed by the sheer number of them and gradually ran out of energy, and it was at the moment that he could barely stand on his feet, the demon he had been summoning. these skeletons finally appeared and hit him with incredible force, and now he is in this situation.

He's been lucky to survive so far, but it doesn't look like he can get out of this alive, because the skeleton next to him withdrew the knife causing Peter's hand to start bleeding violently forming a small puddle in a second.

Peter gritted his teeth, but it seems that this is his end, because the skeleton held the knife and seemed to be about to commit murder, however, it is not known if it is because of Peter's protagonist identity or if he really has good luck. Because at that precise moment...

Woooossh*

"...?"

As if noticing something strange, the skeletons and even the demon in the background raised their heads, seeing the night sky his eyes widened, the demon was immediately incredulous, because a figure was falling from the sky like a meteor directly at this place.

Bam!!*

With a loud crash, something crashed not far from Peter, raising a cloud of dust and sending debris everywhere. Before long, the dust dispersed and a crater had appeared in the center of the small army of skeletons.

Because of this, Peter's execution was postponed for a while, the necromancer demon approached this crater followed by his summons, then, his body began to tremble and he took a few steps back as soon as he saw something in there, because in his eyes, a high level demon had been taken down.

Inside the crater, the dark magic demon embedded itself in the ground with an abnormal position, its legs passed behind its back and, together with its deformed wings, formed a kind of stretcher on which it landed, looking up at the sky, its eyes are blank and he doesn't move a muscle, a lot of dark scales peeled off his body and fell to the ground, furthermore, blue blood leaks from the small openings between his scales.

With his horns and fangs completely broken and bleeding from all his orifices, the dark demon was even more pitiful than Peter and seemed to be on the verge of death.

Seeing this scene, the demon necromancer was shocked and couldn't believe it for a while, although there is no such thing as kindness to demons and there is only respect for the strong, it was precisely because of this that the demon necromancer was even more afraid, what kind of existence could leave a high level devil in such a state?

It may be stupid, but demons are well aware of the forces of hell from birth, so he had an idea right away, things like the army of demon lords under the ranks of Mephisto, or even some lord attacking himself. demon, but at that moment, he was snapped out of his shallow thoughts and abruptly looked up at the sky.

Wooooooooossssh!!*

Glup*

Following the sound of breaking wind, the demon could see a terrifying silhouette falling directly to this place, immediately the feeling of danger washed over him, as if a great disaster was about to come, the necromancer demon swallowed saliva and wanted to run, but the senses that have been sharpened after thousands of battles to reach his current level warned him, he felt a great pressure on him unfounded by the fear that his own senses gave him, instead of helping, his senses only prevented him from moving due to the afraid and could only tremble.

"Uuu….GRWAAAAHH!!"

Faced with this feeling of inferiority and powerlessness, the demon gritted his teeth and then screamed loudly, his eyes turned deep red like blood, then, as his power increased, the demon raised his hands and a bunch of skeletons of black bones emerged from his aura that spread out on the ground.

He looked like he was about to fight what was to come, but instead, the demon seemed to have done all this to resist fear and then quickly ran away.

No matter what is about to come to this place, he believes that existence should first face his best warriors and take some time to defeat them, no matter if it's just 30 seconds, with the speed increase after entering the standby mode. bloodlust thinks he can escape, there is a portal not far away, as long as he gets there and returns to the boundless abyss of hell he should be safe.

"..."

Lying on the ground in critical condition, Peter Parker looked ahead holding his head with his chin, his face was full of concern, not only because of the appearance of the dozens of black-boned skeletons, but more than anything because his spider-sense warned him constantly that something is coming, something very scary, as if a meteorite was about to fall on his head.

So, Peter knew at this moment, he would surely die, the meteor would fall and kill him, he can't run away, because the skeletons still stand by holding their weapons.

'Aunt May,Uncle Ben,Harry,Mary Jane…I hope they can survive.'

As if convinced that he would die, Peter closed his eyes remembering his loved ones and wishing them the best, however, Peter was taken aback the next second, because he felt his spider-sense stop warning, as if the deadly danger coming from the sky would have disappeared by magic before.

He doesn't know if he doesn't have the strength to maintain that passive ability, but it's better to die calmly, after all, it's a bit scary to constantly know the distance of what's approaching, as if he had a counter for his remaining seconds and was being forced to see it.

But, Peter doesn't know, the reason the danger disappeared from the sky, the reason the necromancer demon left, and the reason he can still be alive now, that's because of one person.

At this moment, Har appeared in front of Peter with a burst of purple particles.

'...?'

Har was surprised to see Peter Parker in this place, it was something very unexpected, especially the current situation of him was undoubtedly very critical.

Peter on the ground is half dead, a lot of skeletons surround him and they are very threatening, also, Har could see a silhouette jumping over the ruined buildings and moving away quickly, and most importantly, he could feel that this person was strong.

"Hey, spider-man."

When Peter was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly heard a distorted voice, he doesn't know if it's because of his current condition or something else, but he couldn't understand the words exactly, just one word, man. spider.

"...!"

As soon as this word echoed in his mind, Peter's eyes widened abruptly as if the most hidden secret of him was discovered, then what he saw next almost sent him to the afterlife with fright.

With a pair of black horns sticking out from under a simple helmet made of an unknown material, a body full of black scales, a pair of giant wings on its back, below these, a slowly waving tail holding an unknown object that shoots a magic beam.

Above all, what most attracts his attention, in addition to that extremely strange pair of eyes, is that his entire body constantly emits smoke like blood, as if his own life were evaporating, unlike before, now in that smoke another blue color is mixed, giving a much more magical and mysterious effect.

This silhouette in the distorted vision of him could only be described in one word.

'Demon king!!'

Peter thought this full of fear, his heart began to beat faster and he almost wanted to cry now, why, why did his life become like this, as soon as he got superhuman powers, he suddenly had to Facing these strange creatures like the apocalypse, however, as an intelligent person with a high brainpower, Peter noticed something immediately.

'Why isn't my spider-sense working?'

That's right, despite being faced with this kind of existence from the myths and legends, his spider-sense of him did not alert any danger, as if the demon in front of him had no evil intentions, or maybe his spider-sense really did. It stopped working.

'Is something wrong with his head?'

Har noticed Peter's shocked and confused look and thought he was overacting too much, isn't he able to tell just by having a few scales on his face?

Then, Har simply stopped paying attention to this, obviously he had seen that Peter was in a very bad state, so he took a potion from his inventory and approached Peter.

Seeing how that demon was approaching, Peter held a brick with his left hand and threw it with force, this seemed to be his last attack, but obviously it had no effect, Har came in front of him and crouched down to give him the grab. potion.

'Tsk, I should make some throwable potions in the future..'

Har thought this as he forced Peter to drink the potion, thrown potions take effect for all players within a small range, so it should be pretty good to use in these kinds of situations.

So, with the effect of the regeneration potion II, Peter's injuries recover quickly and he should be healed in no time.

'What what..?'

Obviously, Peter was able to feel his wounds heal quickly and he was surprised, even the stab wound on his hand closed and healed completely, then Peter looked up without understanding, what kind of magic liquid? is this?

As a person with great scientific knowledge, Peter knows the limits of the regenerative capacity of human cells, he knows that a liquid like that that is capable of ignoring the limits of the human body and achieving such an incredible regenerative effect is not a simple thing, if the If scientists found out about this, they would certainly dare to offer hundreds of millions of dollars to buy this liquid for the sake of research.

Not to mention the whole bottle, even a drop of this wonder could be a nation's secret, but why would he give her something so incredible to drink?

However, Har's back was already at this point, he wasted no more time with Peter and his gaze was focused on these skeletons.

Naturally, he saw that the demon he had beaten was lying in the crater like a corpse, but this guy who seemed to have Yamcha Syndrome is not going anywhere, as for what Yamcha Syndrome is, Dragon Ball fans should know about it. .

As far as fainting inside a crater is concerned, it can be said that Yamcha has years of experience and is an expert graduated with honors.

Back on topic, while Har was healing Peter, the skeletons surrounded him and he can now see skeletons in all directions.

Rattle*

With the sound of bones, the skeletons rushed towards him holding simple weapons, even in this situation, Har remained calm and glanced at a counter in the corner.

[Strength II: 29 seconds]

[Speed ​​II: 50 seconds]

"This is enough."

Leaving a few words behind, Har disappeared from Peter's sight and his silhouette distorted like an afterimage.

"...?!!"

Peter saw this and opened his mouth unable to say a word, even he, with his senses heightened to a superhuman level, could only see a trail of blue and red smoke that mixed in one direction and disappeared into thin air in an instant.

In the first line of skeletons, Har's silhouette suddenly appeared waving his fist at him, with the combination of strength and speed, his attack seemed to forcefully push the wind as he advanced.

Boom!*

Har's smoking fist smashed into a skull that couldn't react to his speed, as a result, the skeleton's skull cracked in an instant and separated from his body.

Under the immense pressure, a lot of cracks appeared in the skull and it shattered into a thousand pieces. With the blast of wind at the spot, the remains of the skull flew everywhere.

Naturally, the blast of wind would also affect the skeletons behind, but Har was even faster.

His body moved in an instant, relying only on his speed, then Har's silhouette appeared among the skeletons blasting their skulls one after another.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!*

As if his arms were a machine gun, Har moved between the skeletons firing precise attacks at incredible speed, even those black bone skeletons could not defend against his movements.

[Strength II: 25 seconds]

[Speed ​​II: 46 seconds]

Observing the remaining time of the potions effect, Har continued with the one-sided slaughter of skeletons, although he only punches with his fist without any technique or skill, his enhanced physical abilities are not something these skeletons can deal with, but they did not back down, instead they tried to overwhelm him with quantity.

The thing is, no matter how many skeletons there are, they are too weak, Har is like a god in front of these skeletons, and in front of sheer strength, no number is able to make up for the huge gap.

Continuing his incessant attacks, pieces of bones flew everywhere and skeletons flew away just from the collateral damage of his punches.

With a blow, a skull was blown to pieces and the air was shot several tens of meters away, the skeletons behind were sent flying by the wind alone, but when they tried to regroup, Har had already decapitated the first line in front of them and continued to attack. those who were waiting.

In the blink of an eye, around 50 skeletons were decapitated and their bodies separated into a heap of broken and broken parts that scattered into the distance.

Witnessing the entire process, Peter was completely stupefied and pale with fear, he couldn't even move a muscle and his brain seemed to have stopped working in surprise.

He could only watch as a trace of the characteristic smoke moved from one side to another, the skeletons were left without heads and many others flew in the distance.

Seeing the smoking body of that demon, who was now slowly retracting his arm after destroying a skeleton with an incredibly fast punch, accompanied by the apocalyptic environment and the hundreds of bones scattered among the rubble, Peter was blank, there is no way anymore he will definitely die.

However, Peter did not expect what happened the next moment, after killing all the skeletons that caused him so much trouble before, that demon became an afterimage, he could only see the red and blue smoke mixing in the air and disappearing. in a straight line.

But Peter reacted by noticing something in that direction, it was towards that place that the necromancer demon from before ran, so, now that he was finally able to take a breath, a lot of questions arose in spider-man's mind.

'Why did this demon save me? Why is he fighting against his kind?'

Peter slowly stood up as he began to think of theories and all kinds of conjectures in his head, however, something next to his foot snapped him out of his thoughts and he became excited, the vial containing the ultra regeneration magic liquid. quick.

-It's 4000 words this time, it took me several days but it's a great progress, I'll continue writing later and I should finish a new chapter in the next few days-
