2026-01-06 04:24:15The beast attacked as one.
Miles barely dodged the first bite, rolled beneath snapping jaws of the second, and raised his arm to block the third— Crunch. Pain lanced through him as fangs scraped bone but the wound healed quickly. Miles was amused but he didn't have time to relish in that though as the beast was charging at him again. He roared, countering with a kick infused with demonic force. The impact sent one head reeling with a fractured whine. The other two struck at once. Miles leapt back—but not fast enough. Claws raked his chest. He slammed into the ground, vision swimming as something cracked inside him. He coughed blood. The beast didn’t give him time to recover. It charged. Miles rolled desperately, barely avoiding being crushed. He staggered to his feet, his lungs burning from exhaustion as his strength was draining fast. Another attack from the monster . Miles vaulted onto a jagged rock, then launched himself downward, plunging the dagger into one skull. The head screamed. It went limp. But the remaining two retaliated instantly. A massive paw slammed into his side. Miles was hurled into the cavern wall. Crack. His ribs shattered as a result of the impact and for a brief moment his vision blurred. It was evident that the beast was significantly more powerful compared to the other hellhounds However, Miles found himself enjoying the thrilling fight. He laughed as he felt his bones healing and wiped off Blood ran down his lips as he pushed himself up. “Not… enough,” he rasped. 'I don't intend to die in this place.’ he added, gripping his dagger tightly. His gaze was more focused and his eyes moved to The dead wolves. There were still two wolves whose core he hadn't devoured yet. Fortunately, the body was right next to him. Without hesitation, he reached out and dipped into the flesh of the hounds for their core which he immediately absorbed. The energy answered. Dark wisps surged into his body—raw, violent, overwhelming. His markings flared bright crimson. His broken ribs snapped back into place. The three-headed wolf hesitated. For the first time— It sensed fear. Miles charged forwards, his speed had slightly increased than he moved before. He kicked himself up into the air and imbued the dagger with demonic energy before landing a strike on one of the wolf’s heads. Unlike before, his attack dealt enough damage as it pierced the beast skull. The other heads felt the pain as well and one attempted to bite Miles. Instead he dodged and grabbed its jaw, muscles screaming as he forced it open wider than nature allowed and ripped it apart. The last head began to feel fear creeping down his spine seeing the demons of the other two heads. It opened its mouth wide open and spit out a wave of fireball at him Miles stood tall—battered, bleeding. Seeing the fire wave flying towards him he swiftly dodged the attack and lunge forward at the beast The blade pierced straight through the final eye. The beast collapsed in a thunderous heap, shaking the cavern. Miles then gathered demonic energy into his fist before landing a thunderous punch on the beast. The explosion tore the cave apart and when the dust settled, the three-headed wolf lay still. Dead Silence fell. [DING: You have killed a demonic beast] [ DING : 4 stats points gained.] Miles stood alone amidst carnage with his chest heaving, crimson markings slowly fading. He looked down at his blood-soaked hands. “…I’m not weak anymore,” he whispered. [DING] [Quest Accomplished: Kill the Guardian Hellhound] [Congratulations!

Miles' chest heaved, his lungs screaming for air, and his arms shook violently as he sank to one knee. The three-headed wolf lay motionless, its grotesque heads twisted in death. Crimson ichor seeped from the punctures Miles had delivered, the residual smoke of demonic energy curling around the shattered beast. For a moment, the adrenaline faded, leaving Miles suspended between triumph and exhaustion. Every muscle in his body felt like it had been stretched beyond its limits, bones threatening to buckle under his weight. Yet amid the pain, a strange, gnawing sensation stirred in the depths of his chest—an almost primal craving he couldn’t name. He shivered, not from the cold, but from awareness. The three wolves’ bodies radiated a lingering demonic aura, a pulsing, almost sentient energy that clung to the air like a tangible fog. Miles’ instincts—the instincts of a starving demon had awoken within him—alerted him immediately. He took a shaky breath, forcing his mind to focus.

Miles stood alone amid the ruin, chest rising slowly, power radiating from him in palpable waves. He flexed his fingers as fresh strength flowed into his body, his presence no longer merely human.The lich drifted backward.For the first time in centuries, fear seeped into his voice.“You… you grow stronger with every kill,” he whispered. “That ability—no mortal should possess it.”Miles lifted his gaze and his eyes met that the lichAs their gazes met the lich understood that the boy before him was no longer prey but was a catastrophe in the making.The suffocating aura of undeath that had filled the chamber moments ago now hung thin and uncertain, like smoke after a wildfire.At the far end of the vast throne hall, suspended above a cracked obsidian dais, the Lich King watched.He did not move.He did not blinkBut he was fazed.The faint emerald flames burning within his hollow eye sockets flickered—just slightly—as he surveyed the battlefield. His Death Knights. His elite vanguard

Without wasting time, Miles dashed forward toward the knights without hesitation.He met the next Death Knight head-on, blocking a downward strike with his dagger—and holding it. Shock rippled through the undead warrior as Miles shoved the blade aside and plunged his dagger into its knee joint.The knight staggered.Miles leapt, slashing upward, severing the neck.Another kill[Ding: Host have slain a B rank monster][4 stats points gained]Another notification appeared The battlefield shifted instantly. Where before Miles had been overwhelmed, now he pressed forward. His movements became sharper, more precise. He anticipated attacks, countered faster, struck harder.Still, the Death Knights fought viciously.A halberd pierced his side. He broke the shaft with brute force and killed its wielder with a brutal thrust to the throat.An axe buried itself in his back. He endured the pain, spun, and decapitated the knight mid-swing.Kill after kill.The lich’s laughter died.“No… impossibl

Another Knight swung a massive sword overhead. Miles rolled under it, the edge grazing his shoulder and tearing a deep gash. Blood ran down, soaking his sleeve, but he forced himself up. He was outnumbered. One Knight thrust with a spear, the tip grazing his chest, drawing blood. Another swung a hammer; the force sent him skidding across shattered stone tiles, shards cutting into his arms and legs. Another Knight slammed its broadsword down from above. Miles leapt into the air, spinning, striking another Knight in the chest with a brutal arc of his dagger. The collision of steel reverberated through his arms, sending pain up to his shoulders. Debris erupted again as armor and stone met in violent sparks. Suddenly, a blade pierced his abdomen.Miles screamed.Blood flooded his mouth as the Death Knight wrenched the sword free, blackened ichor spilling freely as Miles collapsed to one knee, vision blurring violently.Another Death Knight brought its mace down on his chest.The impact

Miles tightened his grip on the dagger. “We’ll see who survives,” he muttered as he crouched slightly, dagger in hand, muscles coiled like a predator ready to spring. The Death Knights reached striking distance. Without another word, he charged, his footfalls silent against the stone.The lich drifted higher into the air, skeletal frame silhouetted against the dim glow of necrotic light, amusement oozing from every deliberate movement.Its massive broadsword carved through the air in a brutal diagonal arc, the cursed edge aimed to cleave Miles in two from shoulder to hip. Miles dropped low at the last instant, the blade whistling overhead with enough force to send sparks erupting as it grazed the stone wall behind him.He rolled forward, momentum carrying him beneath the knight’s guard, and slashed upward at its armored leg. The dagger scraped against enchanted steel, sparks bursting outward as the vibration rattled through his wrist.The Death Knight did not falter.Its balance remai
Chapter 29
Silence ruled the battlefield.Not the peaceful kind, nor the silence of rest—but the suffocating stillness that followed absolute annihilation. It pressed against the ears like a living thing, so heavy and oppressive that one could hear the frantic pounding of their own heartbeat screaming for escape. The ground was soaked black with blood long since cooled, its metallic stench lingering thick in the air. Bodies lay strewn across the ruined expanse like discarded puppets, their strings severed mid-performance, limbs twisted at unnatural angles.Broken weapons jutted from the earth like grave markers—chipped blades, splintered hafts, crushed shields—all bearing silent testimony to the brutality that had unfolded.At the center of it all stood Miles.No—remained was the more accurate word.He was still standing, but only just. His shoulders sagged beneath the weight of exhaustion, his breath ragged and uneven, each inhale scraping through his lungs as though they had been lined with br
Chapter 28
Hale’s voice tore through the suffocating pressure like a blade. “Hold the line! Formation—now!” His command snapped the group into motion by instinct alone. Kael and Dren moved to the front despite the fear clawing at their throats, blades raised. Boros planted himself beside Hale, shield up, axe glowing faintly with mana. Kira stood behind them, staff shaking in her grip as she began chanting, green sigils spiraling into the air. Hale’s mind was racing. Twenty Death Knights. This wasn’t a battle. It was an execution waiting to happen. “Kira—barrier! Full output, now!” His shout cut through the chaos like a blade. Kira didn’t hesitate. She slammed the butt of her staff into the stone floor, teeth clenched as she poured every drop of mana she could muster into the spell. Runes flared beneath her feet, expanding outward in a radiant dome of pale-blue light that enveloped the entire group. The barrier formed just in time. Steel slammed into it. BOOOOM—! The first Deat
