The Great Escape (4)

Realizing the severity of the situation, Rafael knew the time had come...

The time to escape from this prison, at the very least.

Rafael took a deep breath as his face was covered with paranoia. He knew that should he fail to escape or get caught in the middle.

He would be eventually killed...

Rafael jumped as he wiped off the dust from his clothes. He was currently wearing a ragged blue shirt with trousers of the same color.

As he looked outside the cell, through the bars. He saw that the black demon was patrolling like usual. 

The black demon wore a knight's helmet, chestplate, and leggings. A tale came out of its back as its horrific face appeared.

'It's time,' Rafael thought, bringing his hand forward.

"Erase" 

Immediately, the bars started to disintegrate. Leveled with the ground in a couple of minutes.

'Swish'

Rafael immediately burst forward, reaching the black demon in a couple of moments.

The black demon immediately looked back when he heard someone coming.

However, It was too late...

[Host has killed a Cursed Filth]

[Host has leveled up]

The black demon had turned into a bloody paste the instant Rafael touched him.

As the text popped up, Rafael felt a burst of increase in his strength. His agility, eye-sight, and every single aspect had increased by over 50%.

[Host has entered the state...]

A blue aura surged forward within Rafael, crushing the pebbles lying on the ground.

If Rafael felt an increase of strength by 50%, then now it's over 200%.

[Host has 15 minutes before the state is deactivated]

Rafael's eyes widened as he read the panel. He had just realized another one of the features of the System.

He enters a state of enlightenment the more he levels up...

Another thing that made Rafael's eyes widen in surprise was that he had expected his skills to be powerful, but to one-shot a black demon? That was really unexpected.

Still, Rafael had to be alert; the demon he had just killed was the weakest of all.

It was no great achievement to kill the weakest type of demons here, especially when there were black dragons lurking here and there.

Rafael immediately rushed forward, following the path to the battlegrounds. A devilish grin covered his face. Bloodlust surged out like an ocean.

It was finally time to vent some of his frustration...

Rafael remembered to take the dagger from the black demon he had just killed as he made his way. At the very least, he could extend the time limit of the "State" he had entered.

Maybe he could kill the 10th commander this way...

Finally, Rafael had reached the end of the hall. The battlegrounds were far from the meeting hall where the 10th commander was residing.

So, unless he lets someone escape, Rafael can kill here to his heart's content.

Soon, a massive field of igneous rocks came into Rafael's view. Many black demons were sparring against each other. Smiling, laughing, and so on.

It disgusted Rafael to see this. He didn't know about others, but he knew he was innocent. For his whole life, he was tortured for no reason whatsoever. And everyone, just like these demons, laughed and went on with their lives.

It pisses him off.

As the bloodlust and killing intent came forward. The whole, once bustling ground. Turned silent.

Horrifying.

Horrifying killing intent.

Seeing the killing intent coming out of Rafael, even black demon wanted to run, but their bodies had frozen under fear.

Blue aura surged forward as Rafael looked towards the black demons in rage.

"Die"

Instantly, Rafael vanished from his spot as his dagger turned red.

The demon closest to Rafael got his body cut down into several pieces; the same was the fate for other demons closest to him.

Rafael was running, cutting up everything he saw. No one was spared.

Blood flowed like raindrops as everyone was killed one after the other. Finally, when the surviving demons realized what was happening, they immediately burst forward toward Rafael.

One of the demons brought forward his sword and tried to stab Rafael in the heart, only to be dodged.

'Splat' 

The demon immediately burst into a bloody paste as Rafael went past him after touching him.

Several demons, seeing this coming forward, tried to subdue Rafael. Only to drop dead before they could even reach Rafael.

Just like this, many other demons came forward only to have the same fate.

And like this, thousands of demons were killed in less than a minute.

Suppose someone looked at the battlegrounds. They would see several corpses lying here and there. Blood flowed like rivers. And in the middle, Rafael stood soaked in blood as he panted for air.

[Host has leveled up]

[Host has leveled up]...

Several panels like this popped up in front of Rafael as he panted for air. His dagger was soaked in blood, and his hair and clothes were stained crimson red.

Rafael felt a massive increase in his strength if the previous him and the current him were compared. The previous would be a rat, while the current would be a lion.

The blue aura surrounding Rafael intensified as he looked at the panel that had just popped up.

[Host has three days until the State is deactivated..]

Rafael's lips curled upwards when he saw this. Satisfaction surged his insides as he looked towards the gate leading to the exit.

Immediately, Rafael sprinted towards it, leaving a trail of blood behind.
