Villain's Awakening

Here they come!!

Focused on the approaching monsters.

[There are a total of 23 monsters]

[Some of them are A-rank and some of them are above A-rank]

This is bad, there are above A-rank present.

[You haven't killed the last dragon lizard]

I didn't notice that one. I did just burn its mouth.

The lizard was trying to get up from the ground. Even though it was struggling quite a bit.

Leon moved his hand at the dagger which was still stabbed in the eye of the dead dragon lizard.

The dagger disappeared in thin air and appeared in Leon's hand.

Stab...

It was a direct hit on the head. Killing the dragon lizard on the spot.

[You have killed all 420 dragon lizards]

[You will now receive the reward]

"Do with a hurry, I have no time"

[Black energy aura obtained]

[You have been rewarded with black energy]

Smirks...

"This looks useful"

[But you can only use this ability on weapons only for now]

"Tch. Seriously"

So I can only use this black energy on my dagger. What a pain honestly.

"But why not give it a try"

Extending his hands on both sides. Left on left and right on right.

Dagger appeared in the right hand while the dragon slayer came flying into the left hand.

[Black energy is being used]

[You're using black energy on the dagger]

[Dagger rank has increased]

[Dagger - B rank]

Black flames covered the blade of the dagger.

"Not bad, I wasn't expecting it to up level"

Now than... He extends the dagger in the direction of the monster vertically.

"Come and show me how fun this whole site can be"

He smiled as he dashed in their direction. In the approaching monsters. There was an orc who increased his speed and ran faster than others leaving them behind.

Roar...

The orc was holding a wooden hammer and there were spikes at the edge of the hammer.

Smash... Reaching closer he strikes at Leon. Who jumped back to avoid the strike.

The hammer shattered the ground where it landed.

"Calm down big guy."

His strength is incredible, who knows if I get hit once I will lose my life for sure.

The orc swung his hammer from left to right. But Leon ducked and dashed towards the legs of the orc.

Slash... Slash...

This dagger is good but I don't think even with a hundred cuts or stabs it will be able to kill this giant orc.

Dagger had only made two small cuts on the orc's legs.

Leon from behind charges at the back of the orc with his dragon slayer.

Slash...

Rrrrroooooaaarrrrrr.

Leon had a very inaccurate strike but with the sword's sharpness, it had wounded the back of the orc pretty much.

This angered the orc more and more as he began to swing his hammer randomly.

Leon was enjoying it but at the same time was dodging the hammer.

While dodging he got a chance to strike at the head of the orc.

"This is my chance now"

He jumped closer to the orc's face. As he was about to give a strike.

Leon felt an omnipresence from behind. At that moment, a fist struck his stomach.

Kugh...

Leon went flying backwards and hit the wall.

Smash...

"I forgot that there were other monsters present but this punch didn't feel like it was an ordinary punch"

He could feel the pain in his stomach because of that one punch.

He looked straight at the monster standing next to the orc.

It was like a human but with red skin and eyes. He had white hair and black marks on his body. His size compared to the orc was way smaller.

He was staring at Leon. With a fearsome look.

I can feel danger from it. I didn't sense any type of high-level monster in those monsters nor did the system tell me about any High level.

With a very low voice, Leon said. "Even with Dragon Slayer. My chances are zero now"

He smiled roughly.

"I was thinking I could kill at least one monster and then die but it's sad to know I'm dying without killing any"

Woosh...

The red monster vanished and appeared next to Leon. Who was barely standing on his feet.

Grabbing onto his head, "...?!" he threw Leon at the orc with ease.

The orc saw this as he swung his hammer at Leon.

Smash...

Kagh!!...

It hit Leon on the back with a very hard force. Some of his bones were broken.

He went flying in the direction of the red monster. Who kicks him in the face.

Wham...

Leon flies back towards another monster. Who's body was covered in rock while he had giant hands.

Pow...

The giant punched him upwards. Leon was floating in the air when the red monster appeared next to him in the air.

Wham...

He spun and then kicked Leon hard, making Leon fall to the ground harder.

Thud...

The sound of ground shattering was loud. And the dust in the air appeared.

The red monster landed on the ground and glanced at the dust.

All the other monsters also stared at the dust.

Once the dust disappeared, they all saw Leon lying on the ground. Motionlessly.

Leon's body was completely tired and broken. He was like a paralyzed person at the moment.

His eyes were halfway closed. Not much to see for him.

D*mm it, was that all I had? I should have known this.

He begins to see someone.

He wonders to himself. Who's that?

It was himself, approaching him. He didn't know nor he could answer he could only watch that self of his approaching him.

That illusion made Leon came next to him and sit on his legs. He had a very devilish look on his face. He had an evil smile.

"Why are you lying on the ground when your enemies are standing watching you"

It was the voice of the devil.

Is he talking to me? Leon had an emotionless expression on his face and his voice felt empty, inside.

"I have been imprisoned inside you forever now, why not you show them your real self? The self that was sealed away by the holy blessings"

I don't know how to...

"If you can't show them your real self then do you want them to kill your father and your comrades? Again and again?"

No, I don't want that.

The evil Leon's smile widened as he extended his hand.

"Show them who you are, you're not holy nor cursed. You're above all"

I---I!!! I am above all!!!

Thud... Leon smashed his fist on the ground while getting up from the ground.

This stunned the monsters, who had thought they had defeated the humans.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

It was a devilish laugh. Leon got up and looked straight at the monster.

He was no longer the Leon who had entered the dungeon with a normal personality. But a beast which was sealed away by the holy blessings.

The real self of Leon.

He had an evil expression.

[You have finally unlocked your true potential]

[Congratulations]

[Your rank has been increased to S-rank for 30 minutes]

[Now, you can use Dragon Slayer for 30 minutes without any damage]

[You have S-rank healing ability for 30 minutes]

The red monster wasn't stunned by this as he stared at Leon without showing any expression.
