CHAPTER 2

VIN POV

'NAILED IT! That intro was fucking perfect. Ah, it was good I had a bit of time to practice before they got here. Look at them, they are so in awe they can't seem to take their eyes of me. HAHAHA!' After waiting a while, they were still not moving, how come they aren't moving. Looking closer I could see them all shaking. They must be just as revved up as I for this battle. GREAT! This will be fun. I can't stop myself, I let out a large grin.

I take one step forward and…one threw up blood. Eh? Why the hell did he throw up blood?!?

VIN POV END

FIGHTER LEADER POV

The aura from the moment the monster opened his eyes is nothing short of horrendous. Neither of us have been able to take a single step since then. It feels like standing before a god and our insignificant presence seem to have angered this monster. The monster is calling itself Vin. What does he mean battle? If not for using the ability of the demon slayer [HOLY EMBRACE] none of us would still be standing. Even still I can feel my bones creaking in pain and protest.

The monster took one step forward and that's when I saw our cleric throw up so much blood. They have the weakest bodies. That one step of his just amped up the pressure by so much. Even with all the buffs and protection of [HOLY EMBRACE] it doesn't feel like it's doing shit. Damn it! I need to get out of here! I will not die here!

FIGHTER LEADER POV END

..............

The leader converged the golden aura that was surrounding his members onto himself and bolted for the doors behind him. The moment the protection was gone he heard sickening cracking of bones and ripping sounds from behind. Good. While the monster is busy with ripping them apart, he can use the opportunity to get out from this hell place. Without even looking back he sped to the doors but to his dismay they were closed shut. Swinging the blade as hard as he could, unleashing [HEAVEN'S SMITE] without stopping his run, a large angel appeared behind him carrying a large blade swung its blade which sent a devastating light crashing against the doors, kicking up dust everywhere.

All he needed to do was get out of the room and all would be fine. He could use his teleport crystal once he stepped out the boss room. Thinking up to here the leader picked up speed using every last bit of strength his legs could muster he run through the dust until his face struck something hard breaking his nose in the process.

Impossible, had the demon caught up already? He was almost free. Unwilling to resign to his fate he picked up his demon slayer ready to risk it all but what he saw shocked him to his core. The gates still stood in its place without a single scratch on them.

Looking behind him, he saw each one of his companions, dead in their place crushed into blood and paste, however the demon that called itself Vin had not moved a single step aside the earlier one he took. In fact, he had the dumbest shocked look on his face. Wide eyed, mouth so open you could fit a fist, as if the entire spectacle had short circuited his brain.

Maybe it was the concussion, maybe it was the fear, but what the adventurer leader saw was a look of mockery. Gripping his sword tight he resolved himself, channeled [HOLY EMBRACE] to its fullest and run towards Vin. As he neared the demon, he channeled the rest of his mana and activated [HEAVEN'S SMITE], swinging the sword down hard at the demon's head. A much larger angel appeared but instead of sending out a light like earlier it dissolved and entered into the demon slayer. This was the second version of [HEAVEN'S SMITE]. It focuses all the power towards the edge of the blade boosting all the stats to an unimaginable level.

Letting out a war cry the leader swung the blade at the head of the demon before him. 'Got him. Go to hell you vile monster!!'

The blade connected with the head of Vin as the sound of glass shattering reverberated through the large room. The demon slayer had broken into pieces and all that was left was the handle in the leader's hands. Looking at his hands, he looked up and just fell back with a thud.

His heart had given out. Dead.

All this while the person responsible had still not moved from his spot with the dumb look on his face.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!?!"
