Demonic Grasp!
It happened so suddenly that no one had the time to react. The moment Jake acted, all wine snakes converged towards Diana.
“Aahー”
Matthew was too shocked when Jake violently pulled him using magic and punched his face.
At the same time, Diana slashed the first wine snake in two pieces. She was a 2nd Circle Swordswoman. These snakes looked scary, but even an unranked individual could kill them. For her, they were no better than goblins.
“What are you doing?!” Alex shouted at this moment.
Everyone, including Vin, was stunned. Taking advantage of that split moment, Jake directly grasped the priest’s throat and used [Dark Fire].
Sizzle…
“Aaaaaa..!”
At level five, this skill was terrific. The flame sprouted from Jake’s hand and immediately consumed Matthew’s upper body, making him a human torch in this darkness.
The light it gave off was dark red, the color of coagulated blood.
“Fuck! He killed Matthew!”
Harris shouted and dashed behind with his shield at the front.
“Haaaah, you traitor!”
The remaining adventurers immediately turned around and attacked Jake. However, Vin was confused about what she should do.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘Why did Jake do it? What’s going on?’ She had tens of questions in her mind as she fought the wine snakes.
“Keep him occupied, I’ll cast a spell!” Alex ordered with a chilly gaze.
Other adventurers would be crying when their friend died, but they were veterans. They could postpone the grief.
“That fire… Be careful, he really is a black mage!” Gordon warned as he swung his fist at Jake.
As a 2nd Circle Pugilist, his body was tempered by the mana of the world. Although he wasn’t a mage, he had certain resistance to fire.
Facing this giant who was just an inch shorter than him, Jake stepped forward and threw his own fist at full force.
Boom!
A minor shockwave rang out as their attacks met. Jake caught Harris’s shield at the same time and pushed both with his strength. However, they didn’t bulge.
“Heh, of course.” Jake pulled them right after that. As they were pushing forward, it was easy for Jake to imbalance their stances.
“You two, get away from him!” Surrounded by snakes, Diana shouted at this moment.
Six fireballs were burning behind them. Even if Alex wanted to, he couldn’t stop after starting to cast. If he did, he would face a backlash that would make him bedridden for two days.
“Arrggh!”
“Gaah!”
Both men ducked to the sides, leaving Jake right in front of the attacks. But he chuckled.
“Airasia ballatis kon tarana al fie su…”
“You actually have to chant to cast magic?”
“…Ceas orn queklantirin pon talolo…”
More fireballs appeared and just as Alex was about to shoot them with his magic, Jake used his trump card. Well, not actually, but still…
[Fear Aura]
Alex hesitated at this moment. The hand holding his wand trembled as he saw Jake’s appearance change.
Two horns on his head, those malicious eyes, that devilish grin, and pointed ears… H-He was a demon!
With the momentum of this shock, Jake used [Blood Control] to speed up the beating of Alex’s heart.
It happened in a matter of seconds even though the process seemed long. The effect of two skills made Alex take a step back in fear, and he failed to cast his fireball spell combo in time.
“No!” He desperately shouted as his fireballs disappeared with a fuzz.
Whoosh!
Diana came running at this moment to hold her captain. On the other hand, Riri pulled out two test tubes and threw them at Jake. Those were explosive potions.
Harris and Gordon went farther away while Diana pulled Alex, who was feeling a powerful dizziness. Afrer throwing the test tubes, Riri ran to her captain to provide the medicine for backlash.
Boom! A fiery explosion rang out as the tubes hit the ground. However, Jake wasn’t at the scene. He had used [Phantom Steps] to get behind Riri with a scythe.
Clang!
But before he could attack, Harris threw his heavy shield to thwart away his scythe’s blade. Jake lost his balance and stumbled behind.
However, he quickly adjusted his stance and slashed at Riri’s back. He wasn’t actually targeting her but her backpack. He must not let Alex recover!
“Vin! Keep the giant occupied!” Jake ordered but he wasn’t hoping much. Yes, he fucked her, but would she listen to a demon?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course not. She backed away in fear instead. That was the normal reaction.
“I knew it, she’s with him!” Riri screamed before the impact of Jake’s slash sent her flying. She was fine but her backpack was a mess.
The potions, food and supplies in it were all spoiled.
‘Fuck, I’m stupid. If it had more explosions, I’d be seriously injured!’ Jake cursed himself and backed away.
However, it wasn’t easy to think calmly in a battle. Compared to his previous performance, he was doing way better. His new skill [Smooth Learner] was the cause of this.
Ting!
Diana attacked him with her sword this time. Jake slashed but she easily dodged it. The difference in fighting showed here, Diana was obviously superior in combat.
However, it wasn’t easy to take down Jake when he could use abilities simultaneously.
Demonic Grasp! Blood Control!
Both cost him 8 and 2 mana respectively to use one time. Speaking of mana, he was running out of it. As Jake put some distance between him, he realized that he was expending his mana very quickly.
Out of the 300, he only had 164 remaining now. It was still a lot, but every use of Dark Fire cost him 10 points. He wouldn’t last long at this rate!
“Even if I have to die, I’ll avenge Matthew!” Gordon shouted. Something seemed to be wrong with him, his eyes were unnaturally red.
‘That’s a berserk skill.’ Jake’s eyes widened. He looked at Gordon’s stats and found his strength reaching over 250.
Not good!
Jake rotated his scythe and went to catch Riri. Holding her hostage was the best option. However, Diana was more careful now and didn’t let him come close to the porter.
“Kill that woman, Harris! She’s colluding with this demon!” Riri screamed, standing up.
Sounds of battle rang again. Vin tried running away but then rubbed her belly at the last moment. She was… bearing a demon’s child now.
Why? Why? Why?! She turned around.
“I don’t care now. You have to take responsibility!” Vin shouted with teary eyes and unsheathed her second dagger. However, a sweet new voice made everyone pause at this moment.
“For what?” It was a flying red bat. Erin was here.
