Book 2: Chapter 31.2: Core Assault Part II

Scarlet

I frown as I kill demon after demon from up on the second floor without even getting down there, getting stack after stack of blood thirst as I occasionally move out of the way of crossbow bolts being fired by huntsmen who are far too low leveled for me to care about. But very few of the demons are actually giving me much if anything in terms of EXP. Because the demons who are level forty and below dont give me any EXP at all, whereas the ones between forty-one to sixty which make up the majority of the demons down there give me so little that it barely matters at all.

A real dilemma, but at the same time, probably is for the best considering itd mean a lot more casualties if there were more stronger ones.

Anyways, after quickly taking care of the weakest ones that dont even bother giving me EXP, I find the higher level huntsmen beginning to shoot bolts at me. And along with them, various higher leveled spawn are beginning to climb up the stairs to the second floor in order to reach me. But what catches my attention the most is the sight of the captain raising his sword, with the blade beginning to glow a fiery red.

Right. The demons who arent sapient tend to get rather garbage magics in their contracts and have everything in their System decided on by their contracted fae. But the ones who are sapient get magic more along the lines of what we humans get.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

You learned that in System Basics, right? Tar asks, and I nod my head as I tense up slightly, watching the flaming sword extend a little. The demon captain then pulls his arm horizontally across his chest before swinging the blade in a horizontal arc straight towards me, sending a large arc of flames flying my way.

I jump down from the second floor, making various cracks in the ground when I land. And when I look up again, I find the arc smashing into the part of the second floor balcony that I was standing on, setting it ablaze and also cutting it almost in half at the same time.

Huh. Yeah, that wouldve hurt.

I look down around me at the demons that are all starting to ignore most of the civilians and lower leveled Guardians to head towards me, giving them a much needed break. And many of them are sending me appreciative looks. But I just focus on the demons, first using blood boil and life drain on the ones closest while also sending my blood shadow who had continued walking across the ground with their shadow enhanced to hide from sight when I jumped to the second floor after the higher leveled demons during the charge.

Maybe now I can get some more EXP.

My mana has increased exponentially as Ive leveled up, so I shouldnt have to worry about running out even amidst this horde.

And the order is absolute.

Be careful, Phenexs fae states, his voice echoing in the demons mind. This one is dangerous.

I know.

The trihearts demon glances at the core behind him, only to focus on the girl again to find her attention entirely on him, seemingly not giving a damn about the core.

A berserker then.

Despite knowing that this human is indeed a human, he cant help but feel unnerved at the many similarities in her appearance and skills, and even her magic towards the royal family and blood lycans in general. But he pushes past those feelings as he raises his blade and begins charging directly at her while shouting at his knights, Forward!

Similarities in appearance and magic aside, the girl is still a human. And humans are biologically inferior to demons. So she shouldnt be able to match me in strength. Especially not while ten levels below me.

Phenex and the knights charge straight towards the girl, absolutely confident in his chance to win.

But his confidence is shattered the moment his blade meets her shapeshifted hands claws, only to be pushed backwards.

Phenex stumbles slightly in surprise, giving her an opening to bring her other claw straight up through his armor, cutting through it as if she were a higher level than him in the same class instead of the other way around.

The mans eyes widen as he backs up.

High rarity Predator Skill! No, something even more! Is this girl really just a human?!
