Chapter 8: Dark Hell (3).

One of the Dark Demon Knights swinged its sword at an immense speed, targeting Kris's head.

Just in time though, Kris blocked the attack with his dagger, Efriet. The sheer power of the blow pushed the wind back, as well as Kris sturdy footwork, making the ground beneath them shatter.

"Argh!" Kris groaned aloud.

But still, he blocked the strike. He was also proved extra defense because of his armor.

Kris hopped into the air and landed immediately on to the Demon's shoulders. He held both daggers up high and strike down on the Demon's face.

[One Shot!]

Kris jumped of the Dark Demon Knight, and as he did, the Demon then turned into ice and combusted into blue flames.

"That was different."

[Synergy Effect: Burn Chill]:

- When both daggers deal damage to an opponent at the same time, the damage dealt is times by 4 and, their surrounded in fresh freezing ice and blue flames with the same effect as the original, but time by 2.]

"A new feature, I guess," Kris said in surprise.

Four Demon were now left.

With great accuracy and speed, he tossed his two daggers at his foes. The two hit and stabbed his opponents in the face, killing them immediately.

[One Shot!]

[One Shot!]

Now that Kris possessed no weapons, his stats decreased back to triple digits.

[Weapon Emperor has ended]

The two remaining Demons charged. They instantly closed the gap between them and Kris appearing right in his face. Did Kris make a foolish play? No, he was prepared.

[You have extracted x1 Knife]

[Weapon: Knife]

Kris stats were now boosted back to four digits.

The Dark Demon Knights swinged their weapons with strength, speed and great accuracy at Kris head.

Kris blocked both the attacks, and sparks flied. But as a result, his knife shattered.

The weapons sliced through the knife and attacked Kris. They were too close and going at an incredible speed that he couldn't dodge.

But as the weapons touched him, they bounced off.

Kris didn't have time to comment on his new skill, he grabbed the Dark Demon by its head and dragged off its helm. With his broken knife, Kris stabbed the Knight in the throat.

[One Shot!]

[You have gained x1 Equipment!]

The helmet was transported to Kris's inventory.

But Kris wasn't done yet. He flipped to his left side ways and connected his heel on the Demon's jaw. He used his other leg, placing it behind the Demon's neck.

Kris propelled himself forward and stabbed the Knight in the face, official killing all of them.

Looking at his System interface, Kris said, "It seems that it's going to get a bi harder to level up from now on. But I think I'll surpass level 200 in here. And the burning feeling in my lungs.. I don't feel it as much before."

While looking at his achievement, he was distracted.

Infront of the open gates of the civilization, a army of Demons appeared in an instant. They seem to have teleported with some kind of Skill.

Their were five Dark Demon Knights and a clumsy looking Demon in the middle. It wore a black cape with white clothing. Golden sleeves and collars.

"Hello... human," said the Demon with a disgusted but also prideful and egoistical look.

"Greetings to you too," Kris said wearily.

The Demon began to approach Kris with its hands behind its back.

Kris was cautious, but also vulnerable. He held only the broken knife since his two daggers were in the corpses of two Demons.

The Demon walked by his shoulder and went behind Kris. When he turned around, he saw the Demon holding a bow and arrow in his hands, putting at him.

The Demon inquired, "Any lost words.. foul scent human?"

"..."

"Yeah, I do," Kris said.

"What kind of game?" The Dark Demon inquired.

"It's a simple one," said Kris with a uncanny tone while stared steadily into the Demons eyes. "You seem to be confident in you archer skills, but are you good?"

"What is that suppose to mean!" The Demon exclaimed, obviously furious.

"What I'm saying that I want to challenge you," Kris said as he backed away from the visually aggro Demon. "Who's faster?"

[You have extracted x1 Gun]

"This thing or your bow?"

"Hehe," the Demon giggled. "What even is that small human contraption?"

"I've never used one before, so I can't tell you," Kris explained. "But can I ask, who are you?"

"Me?" The Demon inquired, rising down its bow. "I'm the the Lord of this civilization."

"And what is a Dark Demon?" Kris inquired once again.

"A Dark Demon is just a Dark Demon, human. Only thing is that as s a Dark Demon, our lives are connected. If the King dies, everyone dies as well."

"Inorder to keep everyone alive, a new Lord is made when the former is about to die. It's also the same with the King of Dark Hell."

"Okay then, let's begin the game."

"Alright, in the count of three, we shot at each oth-" The Dark Demon was suddenly cut off.

Before the Demon could finish his sentence, Kris shot it in the head without no remorse.

[One Shot!]

"Wait, didn't you say three?"

All of a sudden, the Dark Demon Knights fell to the ground dead.

"On to the next one I guess," said Kris as he walked out of the civilization. "Now I know why killing the Dark Demon King was an option. So I just of to kill 11 Rulers and the Dark Demon Kings family?"

"That may be real hard. But I only died once, so I guess it's doable."
