Since things already escalated to this, there was no need for Caizher to talk much. Pouring more mana on the sword on his hands Caizher went to execute his skill
"[Darkness Style: Dark Slash!]" Caizher swung his sword and a dark light was shot from it
"Hmph! Only a weak skill!" This group's leader snorted and readied his own skill
"[Fire Style: Fire Bullets!]" The leader won't let himself lose like that and used his skill too. The man opened his mouth and shoot out small balls of fire that met Caizher's sword light
However, the man was shocked that he needed to use quite a few fire bullets to successfully defend himself
Dark Slash might be a basic skill but Caizher has high mastery on it. He trained on higher levelled skills after all and those skills have higher difficulty
Since he started from high difficulty, the easier ones become 'peanuts' to him and he had a high mastery on Dark Slash
"Brothers, attack!" The man wasn't idiotic and decided that he needs his team's help to defeat Caizher
Caizher jumped in the air and used his skill again "[Darkness Style: Dark Slash!]"
This time, Caizher slashed two times in the air and two sword light flew towards his enemies. One of them coated his palm with earthen brown mana and slammed it on the ground
"[Earth Style: Earth Wall!]" A few meters wall rose from the ground and successfully resisted the two sword lights
Caizher might have high mastery on this skill but the earth wall is still made from solid ground! It was hard to get pass that defense. "Heh, so you all have skills after all!" Caizher ridiculed while thinking at how much resources he will get from them
A group this big is bound to have a lot of loot from the dungeon. "Don't look down on us!" This group was naturally infuriated and attacked Caizher with their skills
"[Wind Style: Wind Cutter!]"
"[Water Style: Bubble Bomb!]"
The two attacks flew on Caizher's direction but the man wasn't afraid and threw his sword in the air. As expected, the humans followed the sword with their eyes
In that split second, their attacks deviated a bit and Caizher sinks his body on the ground
"What?! How did he do that?!" All of them were shock and furiously used their eyes to search
However, to their shock, Caizher with his beast form appeared on the wind user's back and clawed at the man's back. Caizher's claw was infused with his dark energies and it immediately corrupted the man's body as he shouted in pain
Caizher vanish from their sights again and one out of seven of them died. He killed the wind user first as it has the fastest attack speed among them and Caizher don't want to get hit
"Raise your guards! He might be a dual element user!' The leader shouted and they thought that Caizher can use both darkness and earth attacks
With his enemies as humans which are clearly top experts, after some time, they noticed the small darkness on the ground and attacked it
"[Ice Style: Freezing Fog!]" One of them slammed her palm on the ground. Cold energies spread into the ground and froze a bit of Caizher's darkness
However, to their surprise, Caizher actually reappeared behind this woman in his human form. Caizher's arms are currently in a sharp tentacle shape and he used it to impale the ice user
The ice user's ice widened in pain as blood leaked out from her mouth before her body fell on the ground as she died
"Damn it!" The leader cursed and gripped his sword tightly. Mana covered it before the mana was converted into a raging fire
"[Fire Style: Fiery Sword!]" The leader slashed his sword on Caizher but the man made a sword from his mana and used it to block
The red and black sword collided and the four didn't stand idly too
"[Water Style: Bubble Bomb!]"
"[Earth Style: Stone Pistol!]"
"[Fist Style: Raging Fist!]"
"[Sword Art: Deep Cut!]"
The leader smirked at seeing Caizher being cornered by his team but the man smirked backed at him. The leader can see how Caizher's body was 'swallowed' by the ground
The leader's fiery sword only hit an empty air and the five of them panicked. With Caizher vanishing on their sight, the attacks of the four only has their leader as target
The four tried changing the direction of their attacks and the leader tried to dodged. However, even though they did their best, the leader still sustained heavy injuries
The only fortunate thing is that he is still alive even with these injuries. Caizher reappeared not far from them with a black ball on his hand
The four went to support their leader as they stared at Caizher with grim faces. "W-wait! We are willing surrender!" The leader said in panic. Now that they knew how powerful Caizher is, how can they continue fighting him? All of them might die today
"Hmph! Leave all of your belongings here! All of it!" Although they are getting 'robbed' the humans doesn't have any choice but to obediently obey
They gritted their teeth and left their bags and even their weapons on the ground. "Scram!" Caizher coldly said and the five immediately run away
Caizher was not being merciful this time. At normal times he would kill all of them but depending on Caizher's mood, he will let some live to sow seeds of hatred
Those people will surely come knocking to him again after they gained some confidence. If that happened, he would be able to exploit his enemies' 'richness' again to his benefit
Also, he would have some potential good fight in the future. Too bad that most of the people he left off just became afraid of him. An example of those is John and Kennedy
He can kill them before but didn't do so for the same reason. However, one become extremely terrified of him while the other regarded him as his boss. This made Caizher quite bitter
Caizher opened their bags and saw that it was filled with mana stones. He suddenly felt that his decision of letting them off today is a right decision. If that group becomes more powerful then won't they give more riches to Caizher in the future?
The man hummed while swallowing all of the mana stones to his stomach so that they will be converted into dark energies. He just chose one of the swords at the best condition and ignored the other things
Caizher then turned his attention on the people he killed before. To his shock, one of the corpses vanish and only the ice user remained
"Is the dungeon swallowing humans that died here too?" Caizher asked to himself before looking at the dead human as he had an idea
He walked towards the corpse while his palm was coated with his dark energies. Yes, he wants to make this human a creature of darkness too!
Slamming his palm on the woman's body, the part where his palm touches the corpse instantly turned black that spread all over her body
Just like the other times, Caizer can feel the woman's body resisting but he overpowered that resistance and corrupted her. Black fogs were exuded by the woman's body as Caizher's face is painted with seriousness
The fog retracted and entered the woman. Unlike the goblins that only turned dark but still has the same exact features. This human grew two extremely small horns on her forehead. Her hair turned blacker and when the woman finally opened her eyes, Caizher can see her black pupils
"Lowest Level Ice Demon" these words entered Caizher's mind from the information that the eye gave to him
"Lowest level Ice Demon?" Caizher muttered and curse the archive of information on his mind. Most of it were lock and there are things that will only be available to him as he progresses or discovered something
His way of making dark creatures is still crude and only the general way where the outcome is random. But although it is random, higher 'corruption/evolution' outcome has quite a small probability and depended on Caizher's mastery of "Monarch of Dark Creatures"
Proven by the fact that Caizher corrupted a lot of goblins before but the goblins only gained a dark body and nothing more
This time, Caizher was lucky that he made this woman a true creature of darkness of a demon type! Albeit it was only the lowest level one. But it was much better than the goblins
The ice demon seeing her master, immediately kneeled on the ground "This servant, greets master!"
Caizher's eyes widened in shock as this demon can actually speak to him. This is something that the goblins cannot do
"What is your name?" This demon is different that the goblins and seemed like has her own mind. Caizher cannot treat her like a 'replaceable' dark goblin
"This servant doesn't have a name. Would master give me the honor by naming this servant?" Caizher has a poker look on his face. This woman was acting too subservient in front of him
But he still knew that as her 'creator' this woman will treat him with utmost respect
Caizher started thinking of a name but he's lazy and also doesn't have a good sense for names. He thought of Sheena who can also use Ice Magic and decided to name this demon with a similar one
"Okay, from now on, your name is Shaina!"
"This servant thanks master for his grace!" The demon said respectfully
Caizher stared at her for a while causing the woman to look a bit shy. Unlike the goblins, this one retained her human skin and didn't become dark. She is also quite beautiful but with Caizher's current state, a beauty like her is of no use for him
He doesn't even have a reproductive organ; he won't be able to do anything to this woman and just decided to head back on his little hut
Caizher entered the hut and his little village's operation returned back to normal. He returned his body on its original state and continued cultivating again
Polishing one's skills and improving their cultivation base is equally important! After practicing his Breath of Death and even fighting those humans, it was now time for him to cultivate again
Train! Train! Train!
This is the only way to become strong!
Thus, Caizher forgot the passage of time again as he focused all of his attention on his cultivation
----
March 8 Year 2021
Caizher trained for another week and more humans found his little village. However, with his influence on the base, after knowing that the goblins are his, no one tried to do anything funny on the goblins and wolves
Some even tried playing with them as all the monsters they encountered so far will always attack them. Now that they are seeing a monster that won't attack them, it made them quite curious
Caizher just let them do what they want. As long as no one will bother and anger him, he's too lazy to care about humans
Exiting his hut, he saw that his little village is still as lively as before. After seeing Caizher, the humans immediately greeted him but he just gave them a lazy wave before walking
The humans are already used to him and didn't try blocking his way. Caizher can easily decide to kill them but that is only if they tried harming the man. As long as they keep some distance and don't bother him, the man was too lazy to care about them
Walking towards the place he usually practices his skills, there are some humans that followed him curiously. But as long as they won't attack him then all is good
Reaching the place with a lot of trees, Caizher's lazy face turned into that of a serious one. "I must succeed today! I will succeed today!" Caizher said with determination
Caizher inhaled a sharp breath and his chest bulge. He then speedily works to infuse the air with his darkness attributed mana before releasing his skill
"[Darkness Style: Breath of Death!]"
