(Few days passed)Surrounding a bonfire were demon men camping outside the demon castle. Amid these men were Cyrus and Alpha, who was gripping his arm tight due to the spooky story told by a middle-aged demon with a middle black horn."Some say the stone god can kill even the mightiest of demon kings... His formidable stone armies are too-"The man stopped, realizing almost everyone was laughing at him, everyone excluding Cyrus and Alpha. Well, Alpha couldn't laugh because she had fallen asleep on Cy's arm.The problem here was Alpha's palm had fallen to the wrong region of Cyrus; her hands were right on top of it, and Cyrus couldn't help but feel.Overall, they could be counted as ten, with some of them already sleeping in their tents."Really, man? Stone statues stronger than demon kings... I hardly bet the stone statues are stronger than the round tables... Haha.""Yes, what made you think Demon King Barnas allied himself with the stone God? Do you know the damage alone they can ca
{Next Day}Under the dull clouds, the group of demons ordered to find the hideout of the Stone Demon God could be seen walking along the ruined habitat and isolated destroyed building.The path they walked along was filled with black skulls that could be deciphered as dead beast, i.e The black eaters.Overall, to Cyrus, seeing almost everywhere in this world was either destroyed or almost destroyed. Cyrus could tell the blood war must have lasted longer than Necro had even told him.Cyrus, on the other hand, was made to carry the luggage like some luggage man. It was heavy but not for Cyrus, while Alpha won't stop hugging his black sleeve arm."You didn't sleep last night, did you?" asked the Necro Demon, keeping his voice down so the ones strolling in front wouldn't eavesdrop on them."I slept," Cyrus replied coldly."Yea right, my skeletons kept watch all night, and I was informed you didn't close your eyes for a split second."Cyrus smiled, gave the Necro Demon a glance. All he cou
Outside Nerd's Freelancer Association a black limo parked outside the tall skyscraper caught the eyes of many demons.It was just three months; that's the amount of time nerd needed to turn this world into a similar structure to that of his home.The limo's window scrolled down, and a muscular man grinning could be seen. Overall, as much as he was muscular, he was also big in the way that his red shirt was tight at the side of his muscles."So he's the one who hired Jack, hehe."The man got out of the limo and headed inside the building. Ignoring the guards, he shoved them aside and made his way inside the building, overall, he was causing one hell of trouble."Please sir you can't see Mr Nerd.""Fuck off my view."Just as he was rude, he was also throwing anyone who didn't listen aside. This act caused Nerd to walk out of his office."And you are?" Nerd asked, the first time he was ever upset that his aura was oppressing those near him.The muscular man downstairs stared at Nerd who
The stone lord was impressed, utterly speechless as he witnessed Cy's unyielding desire of not bowing even when faced with an arrow.Rock, on the other hand, stared at Cyrus, and as he was about to let go of the arrow, the stone lord stabbed his sword into the ground."Human! Step forward," he ordered.Cyrus saw nothing wrong with this, and it was only after he heard the stone lord call out that the system's order disappeared. After giving Rock a slight smirk, Cyrus walked towards the stone god."What master do you serve?" asked the stone lord.Our protagonist bent his neck to the side, wondering what he should say. What was he supposed to say? Jesus?"You must be a loyal servant to your master, just like my loyal one," overall, the tone of the stone lord was somewhat slow and precise.He glanced behind Cy, witnessing the ones bowing were still scared out of their lives. And Cyrus, on the other hand, kept on amazing him."Such a fearless one! I shall give you a chance to keep your lif
Resembling his usual situation, Cyrus could be seen on top of his scattered bed sleeping like a dead man. After a few buzzes of his phone, he stretched his hand looking for the damn noise."Wake up sleepyhead," said Nerd over the phone."Jeez man, I was awake. You've got something I gotta do that involves me getting money?"Cyrus heard Nerd give out a sigh as he leaned off his bed and wrapped his towel around his neck."Just some meeting I have to attend, but I don't think I'll be able to do that now. I've got occupied with-""Wait, wait, hold on," Cyrus cut Nerd short before he could finish his statement. It was an easy thing to decipher; Nerd was having a meeting and wasn't free, so he called Cyrus."Look man, I really don't like stuff like that.""I know, but I think you need it more than I do. The room will be filled with freelancers and S-rank skill users from all regions... Even the round table will be there."Even at that, Cyrus wasn't getting where Nerd was going with all this
Afterward everyone was in place as the demon of the round table appeared at a higher ground facing the freelancers, lining up chairs so they would be able to see everyone.Cyrus, on the other hand, couldn't stop staring at the succubus queen; eventually, his attention was stolen."So we know the stone lord has allied himself against demon king Barnas, one of the eight demons who betrayed lord destruction."The starting point introduction was carried out by a middle-aged man with a white beard and hair.The introduction started with the allied demons and then entered the defense phase.As the meeting conference went on, Cyrus could feel a murderous intent directed at him, but he couldn't pinpoint the person; there were hundreds of freelancers and S-rank skill users in there."No way, the east freelancers would not stoop so low to become watchdogs," yelled a random freelancer demon.In support, a few of the demons gave an agreement nod. Also, the conference was gradually becoming a nois
"The time is up and the truth shall be revealed. If the E-rank skill user Cyrus doesn't show up in an hour to give the truth, I shall be held responsible for his death."Although Truth was threatening Cyrus in a conference room where the media had gathered to take photos and broadcast them.While watching this, Nerd couldn't help but feel like this was a perfect situation. He picked up his cell phone and dialed Cy's digits.——————Cyrus came out of his bathroom, toweling his wet dark hair. His muscular region bore witness to how his physique had improved.Walking towards his room, he stopped at the sound of his cell phone stealing his attention, "Uh?" He turned and huffed while wrapping his black towel around his neck."Nerd?"Picking up the cell phone, Cyrus was about to say something but Nerd cut him short before the two syllables could come out."Turn on the news," said Nerd.Cyrus did as he was told and sat on his couch.{Cyrus, I have 40 minutes left... If you don't come out and
And as if that wasn't enough... Kaboom! Cy's devastating punch connected with Truth's face, which welled up blood."Don't even think of giving up," muttered Cyrus with a deadly gaze, readying another round of punches enveloped in a black-red aura."Cuz I've got bad news for you!"Bam!Accompanying his sentence was a punch sent directly to Truth's face, causing a swollen and broken jaw oozing blood.The news broadcasters were freaking out over what they were seeing, although it was real and right in front of them, they still thought it might be a dream."JESUS... Freelancers do beat themselves, but this isn't even considered a fight, it's... It's a beatdown.""You're right, that guy is pulverizing the Freelancer, is he even an E-rank skill user?"Murmurs could not fathom the movement of Cy's unwavering desire to kill this guy with nothing but his fists.Bam! Bam! Bam!Similar to the black eater beast, not once, nor twice, nor thrice, Cyrus relentlessly kept damaging Truth's face with p
With a black-red aura concealing his structure, he lofted his finger and placed it on his lips then replied, "You talk too much."Cy's cold demeanor didn't really surprise demon king Barnas. He got a bit furious because the surface beneath his feet cracked itself.He simply nodded his head as if disappointed that someone as talented as Cyrus was about to lose his life.Kaboom!It was as if time had stood still for Barnas' movement because no one saw him leap from his throne, but saw how his palm eradicated the spot Cyrus once stood in.Cy's eyes widened in midair, seeing a cascade of rocks splattering up with just a mere palm.Thud'He landed meters away from King Barnas, precisely close to Sylvia and the rest as he watched Barnas rise."Find somewhere safer than this," muttered Cyrus.With a demonic growl, Barnas extracted his fist from the broken ground, his goat skull mask staring at Cyrus, his body possessing visible black segmented armor."A mere mortal wants to fight a million-y
From his throne demon king Barnas was more than eager to see the fight between instant kill king and Cyrus in hopes of the latter winning.After the stare-down battle royale, Cyrus and the demonic spider-ant began walking towards each other. They stopped a few feet apart and Bam'The demon took the first attack, by simply erupting a multitude of rocks with his speed and slashing his claws against our protagonist.Kabam'However, his claws only dug through the earth with a web-like crack; he only hit an afterimage.The demon abruptly turned and faced Cyrus behind him. "Human, I dare you to face me to death," said the demon, who got a smirk from Cyrus.Our MC summoned the twin daggers and lofted them in an x formation, implying he accepted and simultaneously, kaboom.Both of them dashed at each other at a mad speed, and gaining the demon first, Cyrus rotated his dagger and lacerated the segmented abdomen. He wasn't surprised to see only sparks form.'Bitch'And with his other dagger, he
Within the ruined surface of the demon area, Sylvia and the rest prisoners were shoved by the instant kill demons.From left and right sides, they could see demon orcs and black eaters staring viciously at them. Overall, up ahead was a demon king adorned in tattered clothing and a goat skull mask with long horns.Demon King Barnas watched them come forward, his hands placed beside his cheek as if bored of their meaningless existence.Thud'They abruptly stopped a few inches from the six broad stairs leading to demon king Barnas. Some of them shivering and fidgeting."Humans and demons teaming up," sneered Barnas, staring at Sylvia and Falco, which caused Falco to shiver more.'Damnit, he has blown our cover. Even if I survive this, there's no way I'm going back home alive,' thought Falco.Lofting his demonic palm, Sylvia was enveloped in a red aura and seen floating towards demon king Barnas, only a hairsbreadth from his demonic eyes she stopped."Tell me, is it true killing the young
Knights (angels) standing side by side wielding weapons ranging from axes, swords, and shields were spotted facing off against battalions of demons.Overall, these ferocious demons couldn't hold the urge to gnash their heads. Relentlessly, they would smash their weapons against the purple force-field separating them from the angels.Bam'The ground cracked and shook once more as a black eater ran itself against the force field."You doing fine?" asked one of the knights without a helmet.The latter beside him with a helmet slightly gave a nod. Although he had leather gloves on, one could tell he was feeling sweaty and anxious."Yes, captain. I just hope we make it out alive.""We will. Once the battle starts, King Loki has the skill to kill all of them by just saying it. But for so many demons, the effect will need time to manifest," the captain informed, while the others behind him were a bit relieved to get this piece of information.Bam'"So we just need to buy him time and protect
Loki and Sylvia, accompanied by the three demons, stood on top of the castle wall. Far from them, they could see a battalion of monsters pouring out from what seems to be a purple gate."Sir, we checked the whole castle; he's not inside," said a knight, precisely referring to the unseen Cyrus.Falco couldn't help but smirk, thinking Cyrus must have chickened out. He wasn't expecting much from Cy to begin with."It's normal, King Loki. He always hides whenever things get rough, but," Falco stepped forward but was stopped six feet away from the young king."I can lead your army in battle, and I'll defeat Demon King Barnas myself. All you have to do in return is give me half of your kingdom and let the angels and demons know it was I, Falco, who-""Enough," said Sylvia. At this point, she felt disgusted hearing the gibberish he was saying. She knows the army was no match for Loki; all the young king was scared of is Demon King Barnas."Hmph," Falco scoffed, feeling embarrassed."We can't
However, the unexpected and the most shocking thing, all except Sylvia had witnessed, was about to happen.Sylvia smirked.- {The Player Has been killed by Loki}Cy's heart, on the other hand, had stopped pumping blood. However, after a second, Falco's eyes flared more as he stumbled backwards.Ba-thump' Ba-thump Ba-thump Ba-thumpCy's heart began beating faster, and slowly he stood up, staring at Loki with a lifeless gaze.- [You have gained minimum experience of the one who killed you}- [Your Rebirth has gained you no strength]At this moment, everywhere and everyone was quiet, all staring at Cyrus and Loki. King Loki, on the other hand, was shocked, wondering if Cyrus had Immortality.Cyrus was expecting something else; he was waiting for the system's order to kill Loki. But it wasn't coming at all.'Does the quest only appear when the enemy has a high hostility?'Loki stepped forward and stopped a few feet apart from Cyrus. He was about to say something, but Cyrus cut in."You
On a long table of King Loki's castle, various types of meals could be seen from the end to its rear. While the four demons who accompanied Cyrus were busy lavishing the meal.Cy was sitting and staring at Loki who wouldn't stop staring back at him. Constantly, Loki would switch his eyes between Cyrus and Sylvia.After some few stares, he abruptly formed a question from thin air. "Do you guys know each other?""Yes, King Loki," said Sylvia.Loki's eyes widened in joy as he asked another abrupt, yet stupid question. "Do you guys love each other?"Cyrus stared at Sylvia; the girl quickly drove her eyes away from his. "No, Cyrus is just here because of Demon King Barnas.""Ha, oh yes, almost forgot. So how do I know he's not some weakling?" Loki said that and leaned forward towards Cyrus."I get the feeling he's a bad guy, a terrible one that kills a lot."For that statement, Cyrus was forced to form a smile at his lips. Seeing how Cyrus was staring emotionless at Loki, Sylvia jumped in.
Cyrus and the four remaining S-rank skill users walked along the cave-like structure. Overall, the four behind him were already having similar thoughts.Although not able to convey it through words, their stare at each other alone was evidence of their common thoughts.And that was to ambush Cyrus or find any means to work as a team and kill Cy, the motherfucking bastard."We've been walking for hours now, why don't we take a break, boss?" Falco said the last word while sounding as if someone was forcing him to say something he never wanted. However, Cyrus didn't answer him."Look, I'm gonna sit for some minutes while you guys go ahead." The slender one voiced out and sat on the floor while leaning against the cave wall. Causing Cy's step to alter.The moment Cyrus was about turning around, the bastard stood up gritting his teeth. 'What's his deal,' thought the slender with disdain."When the angels arrive, I want you to conceal our demon presence but sell him out." Falco whispered, b
Cyrus appeared out of nowhere and lacerated the head of the bastard, blood gushing out on the ruined ground and the head rolling down.-{Skill Activated: God Image}Gradually, the body began turning to particles of blue dusts. Cy on the other was awaiting one thing.-{Congratulations, You Have gained maximum expression of the one you defeated}-{Enemy: 1, 500}-{Previous strength, magic, speed, attack, intelligence and skill: 2, 000}-{Current: 3, 500}Cy's eyes widened, to think the system would give him the stats and not split it like it did with Mongrel, was unthinkable.'I was even stronger than the bastard, guess I need to work more on my attacks'-{Alert: You have gained the Skill: Instant Rebirth}Seeing this, Cyrus had one thought. Debating if he should try it out to see if the skill has really come back.But that would be like the most foolish way to die if it turns out to be fake. However, the screen had never been wrong before.He glanced at it few more times and slid to th
