Chapter 18

Zephyr laid down on his bed after arriving at his apartment. He fell into deep thought after his encounter with the mysterious man.

'Home huh?'

Zephyr then thought of his home. No, it can't be called home. To be exact, it can be called a secret facility. He wondered what he should do, as there was nothing in his mind of what he really wanted to experience in the outside world.

But he himself was reluctant to go back. Zephyr sighed at the thought of it and then diverted his attention to the game capsule.

'I hope something interesting happens again.'

****

[Welcome to 'TENSURA'.]

Zephyr appeared in the orc village where there were no orcs to be found.He then continued his journey for 20 minutes and suddenly saw some sort of ruins just a few kilometers away. Zephyr dashed towards it as he was curious about what it would be.

With his speed, it didn't take long for him to arrive in front of the ruins. Cracks were seen everywhere. Zephyr could tell that the walls were on the verge of breaking due to the passage of time.

As soon as he approached it, a notification appeared.

[You have discovered the, 'Ancient Ruins'.]

[You are the first to make this discovery.]

[You have made an achievement that is not easily accomplished. Additional karma will be provided.]

[You have acquired 100 karma.]

[You have acquired 150 additional karma.]

[All experience gained inside the dungeon will be double for the next 5 days.]

[The item drop rate inside the dungeon is also doubled for the next 5 days.]

Zephyr then continued, but then suddenly,

[You have inhaled demonic miasma.]

[The mighty demonic power has applied fear, corruption, and corrosion.]

[You have resisted.]

Zephyr was a little wary of the message at the mention of demons. He was reminded of the time he had fought Abaddon, who was weakened at that time. As Zephyr continued, he paid attention to his super sensitivity.

Tetsuya was also on high alert, sensing an uncomfortable feeling. Naturally, as a legendary pet, Tetsuya also resisted it. However, the kyuubi is very sensitive to his surroundings.

As they were moving forward, Zephyr and Tetsuya encountered a monster. Zephyr inspected it.

[Demonized Kobold]

Rating: Uncommon

Level: 30

Tier: 1

HP: 36,600

MP: 11,600

Summary: A common kobold which evolved due to the remnant of a demonic energy that was left behind from the past.

As Zephyr stealthily approached it, he paused for a while, seeing the stats of the Demonized Kobold. It is because it is a Tier 1 monster.

Tier 1 is way stronger than Tier 0. A single Tier 1 can handle 10 Tier 0s at once. Zephyr narrowed his eyes as he took his Venomous Demon Sword. He decided to test the ground as he was curious about what it would be like when fighting a Tier 1.

Arriving at the side of the kobold, Zephyr released a slash, but the Demonized Kobold was able to react. However, even though it had reacted, it wasn't able to stop him.

[You have dealt 340 damage to the target.]

[You have inflicted 'Hydra's Poison' to the target.]

[The target will lose 10% HP per second for 10 second.]

"It's tough."

His damage was reduced because of many factors. Tier suppression, level suppression, and it's high defense. Zephyr, however, was indifferent to it. In fact, he didn't care.

Zephyr then used his [Illusory Sword] to launch six continuous attacks on the Demonized Kobold.

[You have dealt 918 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 918 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 918 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 918 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 918 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 918 damage to the target.]

[You have inflicted 'Hydra's Poison' to the target.]

[The target will lose 10% HP per second for 10 second.]

But Zephyr didn't stop as he shifted his feet and launched another attack. However, the Demonized Kobold didn't allow him to and started to counterattack.

It brandished its sword downwards towards Zephyr. With super sensitivity, Zephyr shifted his head as he landed an attack.

Miss Miss Miss

[You have dealt 340 damage to the target.]

[You have inflicted 'Hydra's Poison' to the target.]

[The target will lose 10% HP per second for 10 second.]

Zephyr casually dodged the Demonized Kobold's attack as his sword landed. Even so, it did not make a change as his damage was so negligible. The Demonized Kobold schreech and Zephyr took a step back as he could see it was going to do something.

Before it could do something, Zephyr fired [Fire Bolt], interrupting it.

[You have dealt 1,480 damage to the target.]

[You have inflicted stun for 2 seconds.]

Seeing that magic spells could deal greater damage to the Demonized Kobold, Zephyr concluded that its magical defense was much lower than its physical defense.

"If that's the case..."

The Demonized Kobold was unable to move as it was still stunned. Zephyr then simultaneously cast [Fireball].

[You have dealt 1,140 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 1,140 damage to the target.]

[Critical!]

[You have dealt 1,270 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 1,140 damage to the target.]

[You...]

Due to the Legendary Archmage's effect, all of his skill cooldowns will be reduced by 10 seconds. As [Fireball] only has a 10 second cooldown, Zephyr was able to cast [Fireball] again and again.

[Fireball]

[Critical!]

[You have dealt 1,270 damage to the target.]

[Critical!]

[You have dealt 1,270 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 1,140 damage to the target.]

Zephyr continued to cast [Fireball] until even the Demonized Kobold was able to move. Zephyr just took a step back if the kobold came near as he continued to spam it with [Fireball].

Zephyr's MP wasn't reduced at all as he regenerates 50% of his total MP per second, which allows him to fire an infinite [Fireball].

A Tier 1 entity might always be more powerful than a Tier 0 entity, but in everything there's always an exception. This concept doesn't involve the legendary class.

It didn't take long for the Demonized Kobold to fall, as it wasn't able to endure the bombardment of infinite [Fireball].

[The target has died.]

[5,800 experience has been acquired.]

[You has acquired 80 silver.]

[You has acquired Demonized Kobolds Fang.]

[Level Difference of 12. Exp gain multiplied to 1,200%]

[69,000 experience has been acquired.]

[Your level has risen.]

[Your pet 'Tetsuya's level has risen.]

[Your pet 'Tetsuya's level has risen.]

[Your pet 'Tetsuya's level has risen.]

[Your pet 'Tetsuya's level has risen.]

['Fire Bolt' skill proficiency has increased by 0.5%]

['Fireball' skill proficiency has increased by 12.5%]

Zephyr was a little surprised by the amount of experience points acquired from killing a Tier 1 monster. In addition to his first discovery buff, his experience points skyrocketed as his level was also lower.

Zephyr then glanced at the ruins, and he could guess that he would be dealing with more Tier 1 monsters. Zephyr felt a little bit of anticipation for the chance of fighting tough opponents, not for the experience points he would acquire.

As he was on his way, Zephyr was able to encounter hordes of Demonized Kobolds. However, he was able to deal with his Venomous Demon Sword and magical spells. He was also able to level up until level 20, and he immediately allocated all of his AP.

Zephyr looked at Tetsuya, who now looked smug as if he was showing off to Zephyr that he had grown stronger, so he should be allowed to fight, not just watch on Zephyr's head.

At level 20, Tetsuya should be stronger than Zephyr if he hadn't received many titles. The cute Tetsuya was looking at Zephyr with hope in his eyes, as Zephyr was silent. However, his hopes were shattered with Zephyr's word.

"No."

Zephyr did not care if he was strong or not. In the first, he didn't need any help at all. Tetsuya's eyes started to tear up as his request was rejected before he could even ask him.

Zephyr then continued eliminating Demozid Kobolds until he met a Demonized Kobold, who was a bit different from the other kobolds. It was larger and more ferocious.

[Demonized Kobold King]

Rating: Epic Boss

Level: 35

Tier: 1

HP: 50,600

MP: 18,600

Zephyr then clutched his weapon as his calm breathing was heard. Zephyr thought if this game was based on reality, he thought he could apply something he had learned in the past.

Zephyr then started breathing in a pattern. A breathing method that increases the lung capacity and the amount of oxygen in the blood.

A method that allows oxygen to enhance physical abilities and mental concentration. Making their body surpass the limit helps the body to become stronger.

Tetsuya and the Demonized Kobold King heard Zephyr's breathing loud enough to be heard by Tetsuya. Tetsuya then used his buff to assist Zephyr even without being told to, as he didn't want to be a failure as a pet.

[You has received Kyuubi's Blessing.]

[Your strength and vitality will rise by 10% for 5 minutes.]

[Your defense will rise by 10% and restores your health by 10% per second for 5 minutes.]

Zephyr then dashed as he appeared instantly in front of the Demonized Kobold King, even though the distance was only 5 meters. The Demonized Kobold King was startled at his appearance but soon regained his calm as he brandished his axe against Zephyr.

Clang!

The sound of two weapons clashing was heard. Zephyr slightly narrowed his eyes, seeing his attack was blocked even though not a single second had passed.

'It's fast.'

He wondered how it was able to react, but then remembered that he was not confronting a human, which he had experienced in the past. Suddenly, giant fireballs started to appear around them as Zephyr subconciously cast 5 [Fireball] at the Demonized Kobold King.

[You have dealt 789 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 792 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 785 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 787 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 791 damage to the target.]

The Demonized The Kobold King was surprised as the swordsman in front of him, who was very fast, used magic. However, Zephyr didn't miss the gap he had created and slashed the chest with [Vorpal Destruction] and used [Fire Bolt] at the same time.

[You have dealt the target 954 damage.]

[You have inflicted 'Hydra's Poison' to the target.]

[The target will lose 10% HP per second for 10 second.]

[You have dealt 932 damage to the target.]

[You have inflicted stun for 2 seconds.]

'This guy... is so tough.'

Zephyr thought as he leapt off and retreated as he sensed the Demonized Kobold King was about to attack him after he regained his balance. Seeing him retreat, the Demonized Kobold King glared at Zephyr with interest.

Zephyr also thought the same as he thought he might find this fight interesting. He thought of how long this fight would last, as he could tell that this fight was harder than the skeleton knight.

Zephyr subconciously took a stance and muttered to himself.

"This is exhilarating."
