Chapter 37
When viewed from a distance, the raging fire, the pile of corpses, and the young man covered in blood looked like a scene from hell.
However, if someone was present, they would have heard the black-haired boy talking to himself:
"This is non-flammable, throw it away."
Before he finished speaking, he casually threw the monster in his hand to the side. Due to the huge difference in strength, the monster with a pierced heart flew straight out as if it was hit by a heavy object, bringing down a whole group of red names.
In the [Monster Encyclopedia] that only he can see, new species of monsters are constantly being included, which becomes the best basis for him to choose fuel.
Any monster with the characteristic of "fear of fire" was thrown into the fire as fuel, and monsters with "resistance to high temperatures" were killed directly by him and thrown aside.
In order to facilitate the collection of fuel, Su Xingyuan even put away his knife. Just like during the novice trial, he smashed the flesh and blood with his fists almost savagely, letting the monster's blood soak his clothes, and he caught every monster with one strike.
——Just like that, he forcibly cleared a vacuum zone full of corpses and minced meat around him. The speed at which the monsters gathered towards him could not keep up with the speed of his actions!
The soldiers on the city wall also noticed this incredible scene.
Rather, ever since the gathering place of monsters not far away suddenly caught fire, they have been nervously checking the situation - if the monsters, who already have different abilities, learn to use magic elements, it will be a bigger disaster for the royal city!
After all, the number of surviving wizards was astonishingly small, and because they believed in the guardian goddess, most of them were only proficient in guardian magic. The walls of the royal city were able to hold out for so many days, and the soldiers in the city were able to fight bloody battles for so many days without being quickly eaten up by the ferocious monsters, all thanks to their day and night casting of spells.
The only chief magician who was proficient in natural magic and able to help in this battle was seriously injured half a month ago while fighting against a troll that was more than ten meters tall, and his magic power was exhausted.
So when they saw the flames, they looked towards the fire with almost fear, fearing that some monster would appear and make them lose their will to resist. However, they found that under the flames were layers of corpses of monsters.
The corpses of the monsters were arranged in a straight line, acting as fuel for the blazing fire, guiding the blazing flames and forming a barrier between the royal city and the monsters!
"Is that... a person?"
The knight commander, who had not slept for several days and nights, looked at the young man who broke into the group of monsters alone with some disbelief.
The dark night is when the monsters are most active. They pounce on the only human among them like crazy. The Knight Commander feels dizzy just by looking at the dense swarms of monsters that keep surging like waves.
However, the black-haired boy seemed unable to feel the fear and did not understand his situation, and continued to fight without stopping.
He seemed to have no end of strength. One monster after another died in his hands the moment they rushed forward. The corpses that could not be cleaned up in time piled up beside him, even surrounding him, forming a high wall of corpses in a very short time.
Is this really... something that humans can do?
"It's Mr. Knight...!"
A surprised voice came from behind. The Knight Commander turned around and found that it was Pharmacist Leafa who had just had a moment of free time and hurried to the city wall to check the battle situation.
Even though her attainments in medicine were not as good as her teacher's, with her providing support behind the battlefield, the soldiers who were about to fight monsters again had no worries.
It was visibly that the originally gloomy atmosphere began to become full of hope.
Leafa looked at the figure from afar, her eyes brighter than the Knight Commander had seen in a long time, as if the balance of victory had tilted to the human side without any dispute.
The Knight Commander was extremely grateful for her efforts, but at this moment, he did not understand what she was saying: "You said Knight...?"
Suddenly remembering something, he slightly widened his eyes, and a somewhat absurd idea took root in his mind: "You mean... the unknown knight who helped you return to the royal city from the pursuit of monsters, is he?!"
But he is not a member of the Knights at all, he doesn't even look like a native of this country!
So, how did he know that Leafa was trapped in the forest, and why did he go to the trouble of sending her back to the royal city and even join the battlefield himself?
“…Huh?”
Su Xingyuan, who had another head exploded, noticed the reputation value skyrocketing at the edge of his vision. He looked towards the city wall thoughtfully, and saw a large group of soldiers standing on the city wall looking at this side, and the city gate seemed to be slowly opening.
When he saw that Leafa was able to stand there well, he knew that the wounded had been almost cured, so he stopped caring about it and concentrated on the current battle.
After all, in the job transfer copy, reputation seems to be of no use to him.
After punching the charging monster through the chest once again, a brief vacuum zone formed next to him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Xingyuan adjusted his breathing and looked at the palm of his hand.
He saw his hands were shaking.
How many monsters has he killed with his bare hands? He couldn't count them all, but he knew that the kill pop-up windows at the edge of his vision almost never stopped, and his experience points were also constantly increasing. In less than one night, his level had reached level 26.
Su Xingyuan turned on the pain-blocking switch, and only then did he realize that his entire hand and arm were in pain and numbness.
"Oh...are you hurt?"
He glanced at his HP.
HP was reduced by five points in total as a sign of respect.
Su Xingyuan thought that his dragon tendon headband was equivalent to increasing his physical strength by 100, so he boldly decided to continue having fun.
However, he was no longer fighting with bare hands, but had drawn his sword.
The reason why he fought like that just now, besides for the convenience of throwing the monster into the fire, was also because he was curious about the job transfer mechanism. He wanted to try whether he could spawn a profession like boxer when the dungeon was settled.
Now that I’ve almost finished clearing the gap, I can’t put the cart before the horse and forget about my own weapon.
He planned to kill the remaining guys before the soldiers arrived on the battlefield to compete with him for the heads.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking air came from behind without giving people any chance to breathe. Relying on his accumulated combat intuition, Su Xingyuan almost immediately calculated the time when the attack would arrive.
He immediately fell down, while supporting himself on the ground with his right hand. At the moment when his whole body was about to reach the ground, he turned up again and was in a position where he could attack or defend, leaving himself no possible loopholes.
【HP-1】
A slight feeling of wetness came from the left side of his face.
Su Xingyuan tilted his head and wiped the bright red off his hand.
This is his own blood.
Since the game did not show a perfect dodge result, the black-haired boy sighed softly and concluded, "I dodged, but not completely."
Before he could finish his words, the right hand that was still stained with his own blood suddenly pulled out the Ding Feng Bo from his waist and without any warning, chopped towards the huge monster that was about to strike again after succeeding in the first strike!
The first knife!
The knife light with a hint of green was cut into a crescent shape, and it cut through the monster's body in an instant!
The health bar above the monster's head, which was originally at [100/100], suddenly jumped off a building and shattered in an instant.
The black-haired boy uttered an “eh” sound and put away his knife with some regret: “You look pretty fast, I thought you could hit me in a combo.”
To be honest, the hitting feeling of combo is really amazing. It is easy to immerse yourself in it and lose control of your behavior and expressions.
He smiled and looked at the remaining monsters that retreated three feet from him, and asked kindly: "Do you want to try my sword too?"
"It's very quick," he said sincerely, his eyes full of admiration, "just swipe it and it will turn into experience points."
After he said this, some monsters actually began to stir.
After all, compared with the physical torture caused by slipping hands or missing key points when Su Xingyuan first fought monsters with his bare hands, this attack method that could completely kill the monster with just one blow was simply too friendly.
Since dying early or late is death anyway, it is better to die quickly.
Just when one of the monsters hesitated, the black-haired boy's eyes suddenly fixed on it, like a cat that reacted quickly and caught the movement of its prey.
He raised his hand, but did not attack. Instead, he calmly shook his wrist, and a golden necklace hung from the base of his finger.
"Do you recognize this necklace?"
This was what he found from the monster that wanted to use children's heads as drinking wine before sending Leafa back to the royal city.
At the bottom of the necklace is a pendant with a lid that can be opened. Inside the pendant is a fingernail-sized portrait of a girl with short chestnut hair, a slender neck, and a warm smile.
When the monster saw the pendant, for some reason, it was confused for a moment, and its brain, which was not very smart to begin with, became even duller. But then, its eyes were covered with blood red again.
The red blood stripe on the top of the head is still bright.
Su Xingyuan looked at it and took the pendant back.
The next moment, the retracted pendant turned into a drawn knife, and without any hesitation, it cut off the monster's head!
The monster had a human-like appearance and even had short chestnut hair. Its head fell off and rolled to the side, and no one paid any attention to it.
Su Xingyuan also withdrew his gaze.
The remaining monsters are easier to deal with. Although they are called monsters, their overall strength is actually not as strong as the two that Su Xingyuan encountered in J City.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deal with nearly a thousand monsters without any injuries.
As the body of the last monster was cut in half, Su Xingyuan was the only one left standing in this wilderness.
Leafa stared at the scene in a daze. She recalled her previous thoughts - no matter how strong the black-haired boy was, how could he, with a human body, fight against a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand?
He would be trapped in an endless cycle of battle until his strength and life were exhausted.
...But he fought his way out.
First there was silence, and then cheers broke out, with voices that sounded either excited or ecstatic, spreading from the city walls to the inner city, and spread throughout the entire royal city like a gust of autumn wind!
However, just when the soldiers on the city wall thought that things were about to end, the moon set and the sun, which was supposed to rise, did not appear in the sky.
At some point, black demonic energy spread from the end of the sky, instantly covering the entire sky. The corpses piled up at the feet of Su Xingyuan, almost lifting the ground, also all dissipated into wisps of demonic energy, just like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, flowing into the source of darkness.
[Job transfer task process has ended]
[Players already know the truth about the disease and the origin of low-level monsters]
[The player has attracted the attention of the Demon King; the Demon King has temporarily given up attacking and ruling this world]
[The [Devil] is watching you]
[Countdown to exit mission: 3, 2...]
——After swallowing up the magic power, a huge, blood-red eye appeared above the sky.
Just by showing this one eye, Su Xingyuan could clearly sense that it was a hundred or even a thousand times more difficult to deal with than the dragon.
He might be killed instantly the moment it attacks.
It was a kind of fear that could give people goosebumps just by looking at it. Su Xingyuan could feel his sanity value dropping madly, but instead of any fear, he even felt excited - that was the stimulation and excitement that could only come with tension.
The black-haired boy's green pupils shrank slightly. He tried to pull his rationality and said softly:
[Give me another ten seconds.] 】
His eyes were amazingly bright:
"This is the Demon King!"
