Demons

At an unknown forest…

Swichhh

A red gate suddenly appeared.

Stomp Stomp

Arthur stepped on the ground and looked at his surroundings, only for his face to go blank.

Everything in Arthur's sight screamed darkness. From the grass to the sky, everything was black and red! The trees, flowers, leaves, insects, and everything had a demonic aura. Thanks to Arthur's high-level night vision, he didn't have any trouble seeing.

3 minutes later, Arthur finally recovered from his breakdown.

"I am in another world."

Arthur said in a calm tone as if it was the most natural thing. His face didn't show any fear. His brain was running everywhere.

"Huh, I didn't expect my luck to be so bad… my chances of survival are very low. I don't have any other choice but to choose a class. Anyway, my theory seems to be wrong."

Classes are crucial to the development of anyone. It makes people grow stronger at a fast rate, as they kill monsters. To unlock a class, all you need to do is kill a monster the right way. If you kill a monster using a sword, you will have Sword Wielder as class. If you kill using a spear, you will gain Spear Wielder as class.

Arthur had a theory that the stronger the monster killed, the stronger the class was available to choose. But he seemed to be wrong, as even though he killed the powerful Demonic wolf boss, he didn't gain any new class as a choice.

Arthur wanted to do some more tests by killing even more powerful monsters just to make sure, but the situation was too dangerous for him to risk.

'Open class choices.'

[Dagger wielder]

"Well, so far, I only killed using a knife… Nothing out of normal."

After selecting the dagger wielder as a class, Arthur opened his stats.

"With that, I became a little bit stronger, and now I can also grow stronger by just killing monsters."

Arthur was also happy that he finally got a new ability.

[Dagger Mastery lv 1: +5% battle prowess

"Although this ability only gives a low percentage bonus, it is better than nothing…"

Arthur said to himself as he finally picked a direction to walk in. He kept looking at his surroundings, amazed with the unknown vegetation, and also alert to any danger.

Snif snif

Arthur's nose captured the smell of a creature. He didn't know what kind it was, but he decided to follow the smell.

8 minutes later…

Arthur spotted what he would call a group of demons!

They were in a group of 15, and they were very diverse in colors. But they had things in common, a muscular body, horns, and sharp teeth. They were also each wearing armor and carrying weapons. They seemed to be having a discussion between them.

Arthur looked at them, and he couldn't help but hold his dagger tighter. Each Demon seemed to be very strong.

Arthur swallowed his fear and slowly started to approach the demons. With the help of the conceal talent, he easily approached the demons without any of them noticing anything.

When Arthur felt that he was close enough, he instantly charged towards the Demon, which was more distant from the others.

Stab!

Blood flew from the demon's body as his unprotected neck was stabbed!

[Demon's heart assimilated, talents acquired: Demonic body, superior regeneration]

After killing the Demon, Arthur immediately assimilated its heart, and then he went to the next!

The demon Arthur chose as a target had its back to the scene that happened. Before it could finish turning its body, Arthur's dagger already pierced its neck!

Stab!

After killing these two demons, Arthur realized that he gained a huge amount of strength. Before he could think much about it, the other demons had already rushed against him.

The first one to come was wielding a sword with its two hands. The demon slashed the sword with the intent of cutting Arthur in two.

But Arthur wasn't there to play games. He swung his dagger against the demon's sword blocking it, and then, with his left hand, he punched the demon in the face, sending it flying

Clang! Pow!

Arthur could hear some demons screaming words of a language that he had never heard before, but he didn't mind and avoided the attacks of two demons before counter attacking..

While Artur was fighting against the demons, he realized that they had power equivalent to a high or peak E-rank awakened. It made Arthur feel safer, but he still didn't let his guard down. He wasn't using any armor, so if he got hit, he would probably be instantly gravely injured!

Like that, a fight between two parties, one the 'boss', and the other the 'challengers', started.

As Arthur was fighting, he noticed the difference between their combat skills. Even though his stats were much stronger than the group of demons, he was having a hard time against them because their weapon abilities were much higher than his.

10 minutes later…

It's been 10 minutes since the fierce battle started. Both parties fought with everything they had in this life and death battle. At this moment, only 9 demons were left while Arthur was unscathed.

Clang!

At the moment Arthur's dagger collided with a demon's ax, he suddenly felt his attack becoming stronger. He didn't know why that happened, but he also didn't mind it. The only thing that mattered was that his advantage in this battle grew!

Swush!

With quick moves that allowed Arthur to suppress the demons, Arthur avoided attack after attack while also attacking whenever the opportunity came. Arthur's dagger technique also became stronger at a fast pace as the battle continued and contributed a lot to him.

Stab!

Another demon fell in the ground as its neck was pierced the same way as his comrades. The other demons didn't appear to be afraid of Arthur. They instead entered an enraged state as they saw Arthur Slaughter their comrades.

Arthur didn't mind it as rage only provided him with more opportunities!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Stab! Stab! Stab!

5 minutes later, the fight ceased.

Arthur was the only one standing, while all the other demons had died! And to his surprise, he felt that he wasn't tired at all! Seeing how strong he was, Arthur was very happy.

Arthur then didn't wait any longer. He advanced to assimilate the demon's hearts.

[Demon's heart assimilated, talents acquired: Demonic body, superior regeneration] X13

Feeling the strength running over his body, Arthu opened his stats to check the exact changes.

"Uau! That's what I am talking about. My body went from 80 to 99 in one go, and I even raised my energy! My Dagger Mastery also leveled, and I also acquired a new ability!

[Dagger Mastery lv 2: +10% battle prowess]

[Stab lv 1: Stab with a weapon dealing 120% damage.]

Not bad, 10% is good, and this ability also looks pretty good, I should test it when I face new enemies.

Arthur was so happy with his upgrade that for one moment he forgot about everything. But soon, he regained his senses and looked around, making sure that everything was alright before heading in a random direction.

'I will survive!'
