BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90
Chapter 90: Sus hungry demons!
[A few days later, after a happy family time.]
BOOM!
With a loud thud, the hungry demon dropped onto the ground. He caused an earthquake with his giant form.
He was no one other than Wolfen Demon.
‘Strong… That was execution skill…’ Wolfen Demon whispered before disappearing from the forest.
He barely could see Alex, who had inflicted the death blow. And since it was the first time that Alex was able to use the execution effect from his [Shattering Thrust], Wolfen Demon couldn’t properly endure the damage.
He disappeared with a severe pain coursing through him. That pain accompanied him even after respawning, which momentarily made Wolfen Demon think that he had respawned with opened wounds.
Alex, who didn’t know how great his execution skill was, stared at the disappearing red particles with a relieved expression.
He was getting stronger, and so was his swordsmanship.
He picked up dropped items.
[You have gathered the whole Wolfgang Set.]
[You exude an arrogant aura. Your charm has been increased by 30.]
[Boss(Passive)(Epic) has evolved.]
Alex had completed his Wolfgang Set, which would accompany him for at least twenty levels ahead. From the blood and bones, that set made him look like a gangster.
That appearance didn’t suit his personality.
The same couldn’t be said about his looks, though. Those clothes sharpened Alex’s handsome appearance, emphasized his features, and made him look much different.
All ladies who liked bad boys would hover their eyes at him for a good while.
Schnee was one of those girls.
Nonetheless, she was also exhausted from fighting the powerful wolf demon. She dropped to the ground, then stuffed her lips with a health potion.
Other girls did the same.
It was not their first nor the last battle against the hungry demon. In total, they fought five times, though.
Their levels rose significantly with Alex at the helm. He was level thirty-five now; his progress was quite shocking.
Schnee was just one level behind him. On the other hand, Stella and Sara were two levels behind.
“Stella,” Sara parted her lips, “If you could.”
Stella gazed into Sara’s eyes, then flapped her wings, going to the sky. With no one around her, Stella spread her senses around, scanning the whole forest around them in case some other hungry demons planned a sneak attack.
Seeing her in the sky, Sara smiled faintly, “Ah, this girl. She always takes her time to act… Even if a situation is dangerous, her laziness prevails. Sigh… I even shouted at her during our battle against the wolf bosses.”
Alex smiled and spoke to defend Stella, “I am confident she would take immediate action should anyone of us be in a life-threatening danger.”
Sara nodded, “I’m sure of it… Still… Our situation is again weird.”
The Deathwills had been fighting Wolfen Demon for around a week and a half. They always took breaks, so it wasn’t like they had contested the enemy every day.
Celia needed attention, and the girls required breaks.
Nonetheless, the party faced a perplexing phenomenon.
“Wolfen Demon reveals himself every time we step into his lands… But other losers take their time. They only appear for regular battles,” Schnee said after emptying the whole health potion.
Alex and Sara nodded.
There were other hungry demons than Wolfen Demon, after all. Those demons were on Alex’s list to hunt and gather items on.
However, unlike Wolfen Demon, they couldn’t find them at all! Worse, Wolfen Demon was acting suspicious as he was always the first to fight with them.
Sara voiced out their problem, “If hungry demons team up, we will undoubtedly be forced to rely on our Ultimate Skills. If Wolfen Demon works with them or at least exchanges information, then those demons know about Stella’s Ultimate Skill.
On our side, we are aware of Wolfen Demon’s Ultimate Skill’s strength and techniques,” Sara concluded.
Everyone knew that the hungry demons had been becoming stronger without leveling up. For now, it was the main problem in Deathwill Castle.
It was just normal for Alex and the girls to fight those demons head-on and use them to level up.
“How is Bo doing?” Sara suddenly asked to change the grave mood.
Alex chuckled, “I use the common leveling concept. I beat monsters until they get low HP, then I have Bo kill them. He is leveling up rather fast, but I plan to take him outside and let him fight someone of an equal level one versus one.”
“I see,” Sara nodded.
Alex’s Battle Spirit couldn’t join their battles yet. He also wouldn’t be able to use his skill against Wolfen Demon, so Alex’s party was still a four-man party.
However, Alex wanted to check how powerful Bo’s skill would be on other hungry demons. He wanted to see the potential of his battle spirit.
Alas, that was not possible yet…
“How rare are growth-type items?” Alex asked while the party’s recuperation continued.
Schnee looked at him, then replied, “You wouldn’t see a common dullahan with such an armor.”
“That’s fair,” Alex grinned.
Schnee’s cat swayed behind her.
The growth-type items were quite overpowered, though.
Those items could eat weaker items of the same type, then self-repair. They were like sleeping beasts, companions that everyone would gladly work with.
Sara and others simply used the system to feed their battle clothes, repairing them in a process. Nothing else was needed.
It was so simple!
Their main weakness was the resources, though.
The materials used for the growth type equipment decided their peak strength. Some growth-type items would stop leveling up in early levels, some at late.
Still, a proficient blacksmith would be able to fix that flaw and even use it to his advantage.
Looking at Sara’s black armor, Schnee’s tight clothes, and Stella’s white robes, Alex inferred that their origin was so powerful that those items would last up to one hundred or maybe even two hundred levels!
[Alexander Deathwill Lv. 35 HP: 3050/3050 MP: 1250/1250]
“We are ready to return back home,” Sara glanced at Alex’s stats, then announced to everyone.
Stella descended from the sky, then attached herself to Alex’s back. She buried her little nose in his hair.
Schnee turned into little kitty form, then took Alex’s shoulder. Full of strength, she rubbed her furry head on Alex’s cheek.
Sara stared at them with unconcealable jealousy.
Because of other hungry demons and Wolfen Demon’s suspicious activity, Sara decided not to rest until everyone returned home. She would maintain her sharpness and instincts high.
That was the reason why everyone healed up to the full and even recovered their stamina!
The hungry demons could be waiting at every corner, after all.
Alex faintly smiled, “Let’s return back home.”
He extended his right hand since Schnee was on his left. After Sara accepted the gesture, Alex tightly held her.
They returned home safely.
Fortunately, no demon appeared on their way back.
And as the Deathwill Castle spread before them, Alex parted his lips, “I have something to talk about.”
Sara replied, “Yes?”
“I would like to make two invitation tickets. I want to show this place and introduce you to my girlfriend and Remia,” Alex said.
A silence boomed in the vicinity. Only sharp wind dared to whistle!
