"The demon slaying dagger" The city lord's father whispered to himself.
"Who are you " The demon screamed in pain as it stared at James with wariness."It is not who I am that matters but what I am about to do that matters" James said calmly as the wind blew his cape."So cool " That was the only thing in the hearts of the soldiers when they heard him."You will pay for this, I will cut you into pieces and feed you to the monsters" The demon said angrily as it charged forward.IRON FISTA punch struck the demon before it could react and after that two kicks followed quickly and slammed the demon on the chest which made it to crash into the ground."I thought you were going to make me pay hahaha" James said with a grin as he followed the demon and repeatedly dealt punch after punch on it until it spat out dark blood which splashed on James."You fool, our blood is one of the most poisonous substances in the universe and you just let it splash on you, now you will pay" The demon said with a dark laugh as it struggled to get up."Hahahaha pop quiz hotshot, I have poison immunity but I am sure you aren't immune to my blade and so if I get angry I want to chop you into little pieces, what do you do, what do you do?" James said with a laugh as he slowly walked towards the demon who looked like it had seen a Angel.[Author's Note : See what I did there]."Master help me please" The demon said as it looked towards the direction of the soldiers."Who are you talking to, nobody can save you now" James said as he approached the demon but he soon stopped and looked towards the direction of the soldiers with furrowed brows as his eyes locked with a figure in the crowd.CLAPCLAP"you have very sharp senses, I will give you that " A figure stepped out from the soldiers as he clapped."Dad what are you doing" The city lord said with a surprised expression."Don't you call me your dad, human, my name is Zaroc, I never thought you would be so weak that you couldn't take care of a mere human, you are a disgrace to our kind" Zaroc said to the demon soldier with disdain."Forgive me for my incompetence but this human is strange and he also posesses the dagger of the God of light" The demon soldier said to Zaroc as he bowed down."In case you haven't noticed, I am standing right here " James said with dissatisfaction when he saw that they had ignored him."Yes human I see you and now I will make you a proposal, surrender and hand over the dagger and I wil kill you quickly" Zaroc said to James as he looked towards him with his red eyes."First of all that is not a proposal but a death sentence and secondly stop calling me human, my name is ...." James said to Zaroc but then stopped midway because he just realized that he was almost tricked into revealing his name."Your name is what?" Zaroc said to James with a smile as his eyes glowed red.'His eyes must be what's causing me to behave strangely' James thought as he was struck with this possibility."Nice trick but that won't work on me again" James said to Zaroc with wariness in his eyes because everytime he looked at him, he felt extreme danger and he knew from the behavior of the demon soldier that he wasn't a normal demon so he looked at the soldiers and told them to move inside the city."Like I said before, your senses are sharp and I would have loved to stay around to chat but unfortunately we have wasted enough time and do you really think you can save them?" Immediately after he said that, he raised his hand and pointed at James and suddenly black flames appeared on his hand and gathered to form a huge mass of black flames which Zaroc fired at James.The fireball flew towards James with such speed that it took him his full speed to dodge but even then he barely dodged it."Damn that was close, I knew it, he shouldn't be underestimated" James said as his body tensed up."Hmm it seems that I underestimated you again but be rest assured, it won't happen again" Zaroc said with a grin as he prepared to attack again."I never thought that I would need to use this so soon" James said as he took out his sword from his storage space.As he was about to attack, he saw the sword, James took out and paused as he stared at the sword deeply."Wait that sword where have I seen it before " Zaroc said as he tried to remember where he had seen it.Taking advantage of the distraction, James quickly casted ice cage, wind fury and fire domain which only lasted 1 second before it was crushed by Zaroc and not even a scratch was left on his skin."Do you think you can harm me with such puny skills" Zaroc said after he had crushed the skills."They might not be able to harm you but they can give me enough time to do this" James said from behind him as he used the first skill of the flaming sword.LIGHTENING SLASHThe blade gave off a deep glow at its edges as it was covered by lightening, the sword slashed towards Zaroc who even with his immense strength was forced to block the attack with his hands.As the sword struck his hands, it managed to pierce through his hard skin and enter about quarter of his hands before it stopped and the force also caused his feet to sink into the ground.James also kicked his chest and made use of the momentum to jump backwards and also remove the sword from his hands which caused black blood to flow out but the injury quickly healed up like nothing happened."Is that all you got, hahaha, if that's it then my turn" Zaroc said with a dark laugh as he slowly walked towards James and as he did, black flames started to appear on his skin and spread around his body until his whole body was on fire then the fire started to quench.After the fire had quenched, in the place of a human was a demon whose eyes were covered in flames.'This is bad, I can sense that he has gotten stronger and I am sure he wasn't even using his full strength in our last exchange, I have to find a way to defeat him or else, this may end worse than last time but how am I supposed to do that if I can't even hurt him" James thought as he got ready to use his strongest skills and while he was thinking, the voice of the system sounded like a voice from heaven and gave him renewed confidence"DING"[SYSTEM HAS DETECTED A DEMON LIEUTENANT IN THE VICINITY][HOST HAS GAINED THE SPECIAL SKILL "GOD'S BLESSING" UNDER INTENSE SITUATION FOR 5 HOURS]GOD'S BLESSINGRANK–SSSDESCRIPTIONGIVES THE USER UNLIMITED MANA AND 2X DAMAGE FOR 5 HOURS[HOST HAS TRIGGERED A DARK GOLD GRADE MISSION ][KILL THE DEMON LIEUTENANT ]MISSION GRADE–DARK GOLD GRADETIME LIMIT –??????REWARD–DARK GOLD GRADE CHEST 5,000,000 SYSTEM POINTS. ?????????"Oh it seems that you have a bounty on your hard and it just so happens that I am a bounty hunter so you know how that will work out" James said with a wild laugh as he used the first skill of the flaming sword again since he had infinite mana, he was going to make the best of his time."Oh it seems that you have a bounty on your hard and it just so happens that I am a bounty hunter so you know how that will work out" James said with a wild laugh as he used the first skill of the flaming sword again since he had infinite mana, he was going to make the best of his time.LIGHTENING SLASHThe sword pierced through his skin and hit the same spot which caused it to once again bleed, as the injury was about to heal, James used the skill once again which caused the blade to sink deeper and cause a larger cut which surprised Zaroc because he knew that the skill would require a large amount of energy so he thought James could only use it once or twice but surprisingly, he could use it again and that caused he to stop underestimating him. As James was about to use the skill again, Zaroc grabbed the sword which interrupted the skill then threw a punch towards him and because of how close they were, James could only dodge the punch if he let go of the sword but instead of dodgi
"Where is Zaroc, he was supposed to be here by now, what is keeping him" One of the Demon lieutenant said to the other."Maybe he has found a treasure because even though he is the weakest, there is no one on earth that can threaten him" The other one said to him.As they were talking, James stepped out from the bushes with a smile as he walked towards them."Oh there you are, get ready to die" James said with a grin as he ran towards them and used the sword tornado skill, air started to gather on the sword which started to spin slowly at first, then the speed started to increase until it firmed a tornado.As the sword was about to strike the first demon lieutenant on the arm a shield appeared and blocked the attack but it broke upon impact and the attack continued to move forward which caused a look of surprise to appear on the face of the demon lieutenant.The sword struck demon on his arm and sliced through it like paper and cut the arm off but as he was about to stab the demon in t
Orik kept fuming and cursing while running but in his heart, he was scared to admit that he had abandoned his leader. "You are really slow, you know, now get ready to die" James said to scare Orik. "You.. how did.. where is Nanook " Nanook said after stammering in fear while he took out a black orb with black flames revolving within it. "Well let's just say, he didn't make it, enough talk about him let's finish this quickly, you have already wasted enough of my time and I always like to be on time" James said calmly to Nanook after seeing the black orb."YOU, I WILL KILL YOU!" Orik said while rushing towards James with black flames of rage burning in his eyes. He tried to punch James but everytime he did, James always blocked or dodged them but he didn't attack back. "You now for a demon, you are really dumb" James said to enrage him. "WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!" Orik said with increased anger as he increased the speed of his attacks. "You abandoned your leader and fled in battl
He didn't know why but he felt strangely attracted to this boy like he had known him before but when he searched through his memories, he didn't find any trace of him and that could only mean one thing, he was from his previous life so he asked him to be his disciple to study him and see if he could trigger any memories."Mister, who is a disciple?" Tom asked innocently with a curious look on his face. "Oh yeah, I forgot that you are only a child, a disciple is someone who follows his master and listen to his instructions as he teaches him and passes down his knowledge onto him, so would you like to be my disciple" James explained to Tom then asked him again. "Yes I would like to be your disciple, does that mean I will be as powerful as you" Tom said excitedly."Yes it does but you see, with great power comes great responsibility so you should be ready to bear a great burden because the power that I will give you will bring you trouble but don't worry because I will be there to prot
James flew into the sky and activated his ice cage skill to control the fire but even then he had to supply it with energy otherwise it would have melted from how hot the flames were. After quenching the fire, he flew down to where Tom had fainted and picked him up and placed him in his storage space while glancing at the ground which was filled with scorch marks.He took him back to the tip of the forest and placed him on the bed he had made for him to sleep then went to think. "What do you think we should do to him, should we tell him the truth or not" James asked the system after thinking for sometime.[I THINK WE SHOULD TELL HIM THE TRUTH BECAUSE ONLY THEN WILL HE BE ABLE TO CONTROL HIS POWER]"You know how dangerous things are, if we tell him then the burden he already will increase and he is only a child" James said seriously as he let out a sign. [I KNOW HE IS JUST A KID BUT THIS IS HIS DESTINY AND HE WILL BE SAFE AS LONG AS YOU ARE WITH HIM]"i will have to give him that it
The last thing he saw, was the lightening bolt destroying the hologram of the demon then he instantly lost control of his body and fell to the ground and lost consciousness.He awoke to find himself in a small room with new clothes and a bowl of monster meat which he sniffed and ate. When he finished, he tried to get up but instantly felt pain from all parts of his body which caused him to let out a moan of pain. "Oh you are awake, how do you feel" A young woman came into the room and asked him while observing his expression."I am fine thank you, who are you and how did I get here" James thanked her before questioning her. "My son found you unconscious in the deep forest while hunting for monsters so he brought you here when he found out that you needed medical care and you have been here for 1 week" The woman said as she pressed a warm towel against his arm. "Thank you for taking care of me, where is your son so that I can thank him for saving me, wait there was another child wit
[I WAS RIGHT, THERE IS A GUARDIAN BEAST WITH THE STRENGTH OF A DEMON KING BELOW THIS CITY AND I THINK THE PREVIOUS YOU PLACED IT THERE]"A guardian beast, with the strength of a demon king" James said in deep thought. [I SUGGEST WE FIND IT BECAUSE I COULD SENSE A HINT OF PAIN IN ITS VOICE]"How did you know that it was there in the first place?" James asked with surprise.[I SENSED IT WHEN YOU USES THE LIGHTENING BOLT ONTHE DEMON KING]"So it is attracted to my lightening and all this was a plan, good one but you forgot one thing, how can we even begin to look for it when I am like this, I can't even move well after what just happened" James asked the system with a questioning look.[SOMETIMES I DONT UNDERSTAND YOU, WITH SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF SYSTEM POINTS, WHY CANT YOU JUST TAKE OUT A 1000 AND BUY A BEGINNER HEALTH POTION OR IS IT TOO MUCH]"What, I could do that the whole time and you didn't tell me, wow I have to get time to school through the store and maybe get some new bloodlin
After killing all of them with one sword strike, he went over to the city lord's body and saw a round black object in the ashes so he picked it up and upon close inspection, he realized that it was a medallion with a picture on it but he couldn't see it clearly so he placed it in his dimension space and walked out of the room. "Now we have a big problem, how do we replace the city lord, his generals and his headguard, I don't have enough clones for this and the ones I have are already busy" James said to the system after picking up the object he had dropped earlier and when he did, the room which had been wrecked from the fight earlier returned back to normal like the fight had never taken place and the bodies had also disappeared.[WE CAN DO THE SAME THING YOU DID FOR THE DEMONS BUT FIRST, WE HAVE TO FIND THE LOCATION OF THE GUARDIAN BEAST AND I THINK, THAT MEDALLION IS THE KEY TO FINDING IT]"Well maybe it will be if I can find out its function" James said as he took out the medall
