4. Guide

While Dave was going around the demon continent his classmates were struggling to adapt to a new world. The world of survival, fight and war. The training they got from the kingdom proved useful, but without actual experience in battle they wouldn't be of any use.

As a part of their training some of them got dispatched into the dungeons and some of them to the front lines in the demon continent. Usage of spears, bows, swords and even battle-axes would train their bodies, the corpses of humans and demons hardened their minds. Some of them faltered and some even died, but it's a survival of the fittest.

The ones on the front lines heard rumours regarding human that live in the demon continent. Powerful one to it. Although it's true that Dave wasn't cautious near the lesser demons that humans fought with, with higher demons he wouldn't be so careless to get seen by mere soldiers.

In just half a year Dave rose to power that was unattainable by normal humans. His stats rose extraordinary just like his level.

[Heh, how long has it been now? 5 months, 24 days and around 15 hours? It's time I am stuck in this floor]

As Dave is dense as frick he didn't give any thought about people he sometimes saw. Well, his level right now is above 1500 and he evolved twice, so he isn't even human now.

It was truly astonishing ascending into Lesser god in mere 6 months, and still Dave didn't think much about it and just proceeded to massacre demons in his vicinity. He has killed almost 60% of all demons and monsters on this continent, although he wasn't aware of it.

[I think I have saved enough SP to finally buy it]

I sighed and opened my status, it was still kinda weird to see my race as Lesser god, even seeing my race was weird, because before appraisal became level 10 I didn't see it, rather I couldn't. The skill that I want to buy is Guide. I think it's just a kind of guide that helps me and tells me what it knows. I'm not sure, because when I looked at the description it didn't tell me anything. Doesn't matter, I'll just buy it.

*DING

[Congratulations master, you have acquired Guide…

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!]

[What you mean?]

[YOUR STATUS WHAT THE F*CK IS THIS]

[Oh, I am kinda trapped in one place for about 6 months now and I just go around killing everything that comes to my sight, but I don't attack humans]

[WHAT! THAT DOESN'T TELL ME ANYTHING!]

Guide yelled at me for some time until it calmed itself and spoke in a normal manner.

[So, from what I read from your memories, you think you're in a dungeon?]

[Yep]

[And, you go around killing monsters and demons?]

[... YEP]

[HA, give me a break, firstly you aren't in dungeon, secondly as you're out of dungeon you don't need to go around killing every living being, because as I calculated you have killed 62% of monsters and demons that inhabit this continent]

[Wha….

…

...

F******************************K!!]

[I agree with that]

Then I proceeded to curse at myself for about 20 minutes, until I calmed myself and could think clearly. After that, I was just sitting under the tree nearby and meditating.

[What can you tell me, guide?]

[What do you want to know?]

[Firstly where I am?]

[So, you're in the demon continent, more specifically in the northeast part of it.]

[If I'm not in the dungeon, and I don't need to go around killing every monster should I go back to the normal continent or what?]

[The choice is up to you, but you could either go back to the human continent, to the dragon continent or exterminate demons and monsters that are left in this continent]

[What is this "dragon continent" you mentioned?]

[In this world there exists 4 continents; human continent, dragon continent, demon continent and lost continent. While humans call them continents the truth is that there exists 2 main continents, one that you are in right now is extremely massive and second one is this lost continent. The continent on which humans, dragons and demons live is called the main continent, and is separated into 3 parts, humans having one fifth of it, demons two fifths and dragons also two fifths, but by now demons have diminished and humans took over half of their continent. While continents are named from their inhabitants, this doesn't apply to the dragon continent, because there lives demi-humans, as dragons are the most powerful kind of dermi-humans it was named after them. Lost continent is part of the main one that got separated and over a thousand of millions of years it moved to the other half of the planet. It is unknown if there exists humans, but there exists civilization that's a little more advanced than this one.]

[Hmmmm, how long would I need to swim to get to the lost continent?]

[Are you out of your mind to swim there? But if you want to know then with your stats it would take you around 20 hours swimming there without resting, also on the way you would encounter aquatic monsters and further from the mainland the stronger monsters you encounter, but it wouldn't be a problem for you.]

[Then, there's no need to go there. Oh, you probably know but my name's Dave, do you have any or I need to refer to you as "guide"?]

[I don't have any name, so you are free to give me one.]

Hmmm, guide has a feminine voice that is kinda cute, but I'm bad at naming things. I know!

[What do you think about Polly?]

[Seems good to me, also you don't need to say words out loud to communicate with me, you can use your thoughts to talk with me.]

{Like that?}

[Yes, like that.]

(If Dave is talking to Polly using his thoughts, they will be in {am I an airhead?}, and Polly's answers will be in [yes] )

Guide costs 10000 SP, but I think it's definitely worth it, as I haven't had a conversation in a long time.

{Alright, so let's end what I have started.}

[If you are talking about wiping out all demons then I wouldn't recommend it.]

{Then, what should I do?}

[You don't need to kill all of them but if you kill stronger ones and the Demon King then it should be enough.]

{Okay} I replied and focused on the surroundings, expanding the area I could sense. It's a technique in my martial arts that uses sounds and with my enchanted senses I can map from 4 to 6 kilometers around me depending on how much I focus.

I quickly found a few strong presences, well all were weaker than me, but there was one thing that was close to me.

{Do you have any idea Polly?}

[Probably Demon King]

{Alright then!!}

When I came close to the presence I felt, I could slowly see a big castle. It was magnificent, it seems to be made with magically enchanted bricks, that are dyed black. You could see lesser demons guarding all walls.

[This amount of lesser demons would wipe out most of the human kingdoms.]

{Certainly, there are a lot of them. Free exp!}

I shouted in my mind and took out my soul sword, it was now in the shape of a katana, because as it turns out after lvl 8 you can alter the appearance of the sword to your own liking. After quickly wiping out all lesser demons in 5 seconds I kicked gates and barged in.

{Truly, spacious.}

But I didn't get any time to just admire this building. After the noise I produced kicking the gates out almost all demons in the vicinity were alarmed about my intrusion.

[Who dares to attack our Lord's castle!]

[Prepare to die!]

[Kekeke!]

You could hear from the demons that all came running to me. They all were medium demons, that on their own could probably just wipe out all of humanity.

[Alright, you all. Attack me!]

I taunted them and assumed a fighting stance.

[You little!]

[Prepare to die, puny human!!]

Weirdly enough it worked, they all rushed on to me. As they approached me I used Mental solidity and time slowed down, to the point that they almost didn't move.

I breathed out and in a quick flash of the second I rushed beside every one of the demons in the hall and cutted their head off. They couldn't even react, and their bodies slowly fell to the ground with blood gushing out of their necks.

[So, where's this Demon King you talked about]

I said and focused on the presence that tried to hide in the corner of the ceiling. At start it didn't move and didn't react to it, but when I directed my bloodlust on it, it quickly shivered and ran to the hall that corridor I was in was going to.

[My Lord, I think that's it's best if you don't try to fight with that monster!]

The presence that Dave felt in the corridor spoke to the person who was sitting on the throne on the opposite of the entrance.

[Bullshit, I alone am enough to kill that puny human!]

[He took out all of our middle demons in a flash, I don't think we stand a chance]

[Insolence, we are enough to get rid of him! You cowa-]

[SILENCE!]

With those words the doors that were leading to this room were opened. With a great force both of the doors that probably weighed 300 kilogrammes were sent flying and got stuck one in the ceiling and the other one in the wall near the throne.

[So there's 10 of you high demons and a demon lord, huh]

When Dave opened his mouth he glanced at all the demons there. Assassin, 3 warriors, 4 mages, healer and a necromancer, a rather well composed team I would say. The demon lord is probably an all-rounder.

[Who are you! How dare you barge in so boldly!!]

[Eh, you really doesn't know your place]

I sighed and blinked to the demon that was screaming with my sword at his neck.

[Now, now, am I going to kill all of you or are you going to try and talk me out of this?]
