[End Of Information]

"Haa..." My gaze went to the Demon that was about to recieve death.

"You say I can't use my Skills and Titles, right?"

"Yes. The Stone has scanned the both of us, so—"

"It's too bad... I just Leveled."

"Eh?"

My grin grew wider. It satisfied me that the Demon before was too stupid to understand. I just had to show him, didn't I?

I had a wide array of Skills at my disposal. Same as Titles. However, there was only one I really needed at this point.

"Demon Hunter..." I murmured, staring hard at the gentlemanly Demon.

.>SHWUUUUUUU<

"What's this? Did you just... get stronger?" The Demon's eyes widened with surprise.

Somehow, he still maintained his dignified appearance, and that got me angry. I wanted him to cower in fear and face despair.

I was certain Lilith's last moments was wrought with fear and pain—as the girl only ever wanted to live.

Yet, he took that away from her.

He deserved death—no, worse than that.

"I don't need Evil Warding Blade for you." I cracked my knuckles while glaring at him.

​ It was only fair to give him a beatdown. I wasn't merciful enough to grant a quick death to Lilith's murderer—especially now that the rest of the threats were dead.

>WHOOOOOSSSSHHHH<

The Demon made his first move, lunging at me with extreme speed—boosted by his artefacts, no doubt.

'He's fast.' I found myself commenting.

Without my new Level Ups, and the Title's effect currently at work, I would probably be of the same—or maybe a little lesser—speed.

Considering my Agility had been severely boosted, it was amazing how fast my opponent was.

As he dragged his staff, charging swiftly, the seemingly wooden object burst into red and black flames.

'Highly concentrated Miasma... also dangerous.'

However, it was pointless if such an attack did not reach me... uh?

I suddenly felt my body stuck to the ground. It was like earth was swallowing my feet, having no intention to release them.

This 'Quicksand' effect had to be caused by my opponent's Magic, and I appreciated his intelligent series of moves

Unfortunately...

'... This isn't enough to hold me down.'

I broke free from the sinking ground and leaped backward, ignoring the blazing inferno strike that scorched the area where I would have stood.

The Demon remained transfixed on his location, grinning slightly as he raised his staff to the air.

'Hmm?' I noticed clouds suddenly forming above me.

>BRRRMMMMMMM<

Almost as soon as I realized what was going on, purplish black lightning came cackling and descending in a flash.

>BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!<

The entire ground was ripped apart as the explosion created fissures around the area of impact.

"Not bad." I watched from my height in the sky.

Serious damage could have been inflicted on me with that attack alone. It seemed my opponent wasn't messing around.

>WHOOOOOSSSSHHHH<

Flaming arrows were launched from the Demon in their dozen, all gleaming bright blue.

I easily evaded then from my height, calmly observing the enemy. He most likely had more up his sleeve.

'Let's keep watching.' I narrowed my gaze and noticed hails of crimson flames descend from the darkened clouds.

'Hail too? He has a wide array of high-level Magic. Just how old and experienced is he?'

The hailstorm covered a wide distance, and it was somewhat impossible to evade it entirely.

As the brimming hot rocks descended on me, I decided to simply destroy them from my estate.

'He's approaching me while I'm busy. Alright, I'm making my move now.'

Once the Demon got close, once again readying his blade to incinerate me, I swiftly propelled myself toward him.

"Wha—??" My action surprised him, but I didn't care.

'Did you think I'd run forever?'

I greeted him with an enhanced fist on his cheek, causing pieces of saliva to pour out of his face as his jaw became dislocated.

"Guark!" He crashed to the ground, unable to bear the heavy strike.

'So, it's weaker in physical assault... I see.'

A Demon who was incredibly fast, weak in strength and defence, but still had Magic to compensate.

Of everyone I fought, this one was the one with the most balance and power. He was also most likely the oldest.

>WHOOOOOSSSSHHHH<

I crashed on his stomach, using the sole of my legs to crush his abdomen.

"Guarhkk!!!" Blood poured out of his mouth, and that filled me with delight.

Grabbing his head, I tossed him into the sky, and then launched myself not long after. Once he gained balance, he tried to escape my grasp, but I was much faster and stronger anyway.

He stretched out his staff to send a ray of crimson energy flying my way, but I raised my speed until I was right before him, causing his long-range attack to be meaningless.

I clasped my hands together and gave him a strike on his head. Something definitely cracked as the Demon fell to the ground in another terrible explosion.

This process of violence repeated over and over again, with me intentionally drawing the fight out by torturing my opponent and inflicting him with pain.

Until finally....
