The Pink-haired Demon's hands touched the ground, and a Magic Circle began forming.
It's brimming color illuminated the darkened area, and I felt a great amount of rising energy converge within it.
"Buy me time! I'll summon my best one!" She spoke to her other colleagues who had already powered up at this point.
I didn't care for them or their abilities. I simply felt like getting rid of all of them.
"[Mana Strengthening]" Once again, my power skyrocketed to an unbelievable degree, allowing to easily mow down my foes.
It was so easy. Like slicing hot knife through tofu.
It never felt so easy to take sentient life. These Demons who were once stronger than I was... now died so easily by my hands.
I was so lost in the ecstacy that I didn't realize when I had killed a majority of the Demons except three.
The Summoning Circle was complete, and I watched a Dragon-like monster surge forth from the blinding light.
It gave a fearsome roar, enough to make my skin tingle a little.
"Level 200? I see... this could be a little tough..."
... Was that what they expected me to say?
'[Predator]. [Conqueror]. [Dragon Hunter]'
Of all the things she could summon, she chose a Dragon? How very very hilarious!
'My [Draconic Transformation] gives me Stats akin to a Dragon. My Level is high enough too. With [Predator], a portion of my opponent's Stats will be mine. [Conqueror] allows me to defeat an opponent I once defeated more easily by increasing my abilities in proportion to the threat. [Dragon Hunter] grants me a better buff since my opponent is a Dragon.'
In essence, with all my abilities currently stacked—plus the fact that I was now Level 191 thanks to killing four more Demons—victory was assured.
"One strike!" I put aside my Evil Warding Blade since it only worked against beings who were deemed evil by the System—Demons.
Jumping as I clenched my fist, I poured an abundant amount of Mana into it and sped into the Dragon's mouth.
Navigating my way through it's inner crevices, I destroyed anything in my path and went straight for the heart.
>BOOOOOOMMMM<
My surge of Mana from.within sent the Monster dying in a flash, and I tore my way out of the Dragon's corpse once the work was done.
Within seconds, I had defeated a fairly powerful creature.
"Next." I descended from the monster's corpse and began walking toward the summoner.
"N-no way... my pet. M-my p-pet." The Demon had the gall to ignore me and charge straight for her deceased summon.
As she passed my side, her head went rolling down and blood spurted from her swerving body.
Death instantly met her.
'I'm now Level 210.' Taking a mental note, I watched the remaining two enemies.
Hogun and the hatted one.
"Two to go..."
"Impressive. I never expected us to be pushed this far. I'm surprised you are so strong."
The hatted Demon didn't seem angry or frightened. He just appeared impressed.
Frankly, it pissed me off.
"Are you surprised by my reaction? That I'm not upset or frightened? Well, the answer to that is simple..."
The Demon out off his hat, displaying his finely trimmed white hair and elegantly twisted horns.
"... All that has happened is simply how it's meant to be." The hat plopped to the ground as the Demon cracked his knuckles.
"They were weaker than you are, so they died. This city of humans was not strong enough to resist our attack, so it perished. Surely... you understand."
"Shut up." I could feel my rage surface.
"I thought you, above all else could understand. Frankly, I'm not certain I could defeat you. But, if I'm unable to... and I perish, I know it's simply my lot as the weaker one."
"I said, shut up."
"Well, I guess we can only find out the outcome. First off, though, I'll have to make things easier for myself."
Suddenly, the outfit he wore gleamed brightly. I reckoned he was donning a Magic Item as an outfit. A clever move.
The hatted Demon brought out a weirdly shaped stone, looking like a twisted thumb, and threw it into the sky.
>SHIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGG!!!<
The bright crimson light dyed the sky with it's intense hue, but I couldn't care less about the aesthetics. The effects, on the other hand... were quite interesting.
"I just used something called an Equalizer Stone. It seals off Skills and Titles. You can only rely on your base Stats."
True to his words, my Draconic Transformation became undone, and all my Skill as well as Title effects left me.
"Of course, it also affects me, so... there's that."
He said that, but he was armed to the teeth with several Magic Items that raised the bat considerably.
Even though I would have the advantage in base stats, with his Magic Items—including a staff he just brought out, his highly concentrated armor-like attire, jewels, and several others—it seemed like J had the disadvantage.
"I tried using my Evil Eye Skill on you, among others. It seems you've surpassed the range of those who can be affected by it. I'll have to resort to this to stand a chance."
As at the moment, the results of the match was unpredictable.
I could see myself losing or winning, depending on how long I could last.
'Should I pour the rest of my Stat Points into Vitality?' I considered internally.
I watched as my enemy approached, wondering my next course of action.
However—
[SYSTEM NOTICE]
[Additional Rewards Based On Accomplishments Have Been Calculated]
<Will You Recieve Your Rewards Now>
[Yes] [No]
A wide grin formed on my face instantly.
The Additional Rewards for my fight against Adu had finally surfaced.
"Yes." My grin grew wider, and I spotted the Demon grow wary because of it.
The System displayed its Rewards before me, causing my previously relieved face to break into that of absolute satisfaction
'Oh, boy...'
I gazed at the Demon that was challenging me, happy with all of my heart that I would finally kill him.
'... You're going to suffer!'
