My eyes bulged, my body trembled, and unconsciously, I whispered the words…

“S-status Window…”

As my eyes scanned through the panels, I felt a newfound surge of energy and vigor course through me. Even as my enemies approached me at a quick pace, ready to tear me apart, my lips curled up in excitement.

Pressing my body to the ground, using all the energy I could muster, I prepared myself for the next action to take._.

“GARUIIIIIKKKKKK!!!” The deafening cries of thousands rushed into my ears, but none of them were heard.

The only thing I listened to… was the fast beating of my own heart. Excitement, relief, satisfaction, and pure thrill filled my whole body.

Increasing the strength in my legs, I jumped as high as I could, leaving the Demons beneath me. Still launching high up, I looked down, smiling at the Hobs who raised their heads to glare at me.

They had no idea what was coming… but I did.

‘This fight… is already over!’ I grinned.

And that was because… of the new System Update I received.

[End Of Information]

With a wide grin plastered on my face, I stared across the vast field, seeing all the Demon Cores displaced all around, in their thousands.

“MP has been restored to a good degree thanks to the Level-Ups. Now is no time to be stingy… which means…”

With a single thought, I enacted something that devastated the whole area.

>BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!<

The explosions caused by thousands of Demon Cores exploding all across the areas sent a deafening noise reverberating across the area. Thousands of Demons met their deaths as a result of the blast, causing their numbers to dwindle at a staggering pace.

However, I still wasn’t done.

As each Demon died, they turned to dust and their Demon Cores fell from them.

“They’re all mine!!!” I grinned.

Sending my mana to the Cores again, I caused yet more explosions, killing more Demons.

>BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM<

>BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!<

>BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!<

Chain reactions caused by explosions swept through the vast compounds. As the Demons died as a result of the explosions, dropping their Demon Cores, I exploded the Cores that were left behind, causing even more eruptions of fierce power.

Since I kept leveling up, my mana was being restored, so I could keep this up for an infinitely long time. However, I was already beginning to fall to the ground, so I couldn’t keep up the blasts that would adversely affect me.

After watching such beautiful fireworks from the heights where I stayed, slowly descending back to the ground, I estimated a total of five thousand died as a result of the chain reactions of multiple blasts.

‘It appears I underestimated their numbers… these Demons should have been more than ten thousand when I first arrived here…’ My thoughts rang.

However, at the moment, they were a staggering amount, not even close to three thousand.

I landed on the ground, shaking the earth around me. However, my body felt no recoil from the impact since it was strengthened beyond any normal person’s level.

As I watched the remaining number of Demons around cautiously approach me, I grinned, confident of victory now. They were still a few thousand, but, compared to the horde I faced earlier, these were nothing.

Summoning two of my daggers, I activated my newly gotten <Nimble> Skill, which buffed me to a new level entirely.

‘This is…’ I smiled, feeling the rush of overwhelming energy course through me.

It was like all my exhaustion vanished. Even though I knew it was temporary, the feeling made me feel on top of the world.

“GARUIIIKKKKK!!!” The Demons growled and lunged at me, sensing the immense threat I posed.

Since I was on their home turf, they couldn’t retreat, and I suppose the instinctive reaction of these primitive beings to protect their home overrode their sense of reason.

‘Maybe they’re protecting the boss…’ I reasoned, starting to quicken my steps as I approached the Demons who ran toward me.

They didn’t need to worry, though. I was in no hurry to kill the Boss just yet.

“Keep producing more mobs for me!!!” I screamed, expertly spinning my dagger, rushing at the Demons.

>FWOOOOOSHHHH<

Running at a speed I had never achieved before, I swiftly cut through hundreds of Demons within moments, slicing their heads off with absolute precision.

My head was clear, and the power in each strike sent ripples of blood and sweat flying.

I kept charging ahead, also summoning my weapons to deal damage to the Demons while I killed my prey.

Their Demon Cores fell to the ground, which I took for myself into [Subspace]. At this point, I didn’t need any flashy explosion to finish the job. I would be saving those for later.

Letting my body and weapons do all the work, I spun, drilling holes into the foes in a flash.

As the enemies surrounded me, trying once more to overwhelm me with numbers, I used <Roar> to send them flying.

The pressure destroyed some, while sending the rest back.

Using this to take a breather, I leaped backward, watching the rest of the Demons from a distance.

“Haaa… Haa… Amazing! Absolutely amazing!” I beamed, feeling a new rush of emotion within me.

My heart pulsated at an uncontrollable rate. I felt like I could dance forever, but I knew it was mostly due to the high I was in.

“Relax, Jeremy… this is… a perfect chance!” I smiled.

After all, I didn’t come here just to kill. It was time for the next phase of my plans.

“Now that <Nimble> is still active, I can do this… it’s time to catch some live specimens!”
