What I would call the next few minutes would be… aggressive. I was a bit drunk on power, so I may or may not have spent a bit of time bullying the demon.
"Hahaha! C'mon! Get up! I'm not done with you yet!" [Solace]
...Maybe I was a bit too enthusiastic. I was beating the demon back and forth, sending it into walls with my newfound strength.
"Argh! Tu veres spirit!" [Demon]
"Translation: You damn spirit." [Spirit Guide]
The demon yelled at me as I looked down upon it, giving me a sense of superiority.
"Go on, amuse me." [Solace]
I spoke like an edgy character within a novel. I mean, who could blame me? Thrown into a different world, forced to be basically enslaved by some random girl, and most of all, having to fight for my life. You could say I used the demon to vent out all my built up frustration that I never knew I had.
"|Ashen Arrow|." [Solace]
I fired a singular black arrow at the demon, and it struck true. It lodged itself deep into the demon's knee, causing it to bellow in pain.
"Tu…! Meres belta tu!" [Demon]
"Translation: You… I'll kill you." [Spirit Guide]
The demon scrambled to its feet, attempting to swing its axe at me.
("Uh oh. Let's get a bit farther.") [Solace]
I flew out of reach, allowing me to casually evade the axe from a comfortable distance.
"Butae iri tu sola!" [Demon]
"Translation: Fight me you coward." [Spirit Guide]
("A coward? Me?") [Solace]
The demon's words somewhat annoyed me. So much so that I decided to come within arms reach and stare it dead in the eye.
"Big talk for someone who's title is called |Devourer Of The Weak|." [Solace]
Within an instant, I slammed my fist into its face.
"Gah!" [Demon]
The demon tumbled onto the ground, causing the cavern to shake a little.
"I cannot even begin to describe how satisfying it is to see such a big creature get sent flying." [Solace]
The demon was basically beaten black and blue, clearly highlighted from its gray skin. It struggled to stand from its lack of energy, but it still gripped its axe with a raging passion.
"Nice axe there. It would be a real shame if it broke." [Solace]
As if I was some lame villain, I did as anyone else would have done. Break the axe.
"|Wind Edge|." [Solace]
Sending forth invisible blades of wind, I sliced apart the demon's weapon.
"How's that for- Oh… I-Is it crying…?" [Solace]
Tears streamed down the demon's face. The moment I had destroyed it's weapon caused it to bawl its eyes out.
"BWAAAHHH!!!" [Demon]
It's voice caused the cavern to tremble, and made my ears feel like it was about to be ruptured.
"Oh god that's annoying. I also feel really bad now." [Solace]
I knew I had to kill the demon, but seeing it in such a pitiful state made me think otherwise.
("Should I let it live…?") [Solace]
I pondered about it as the demon's tears began to form a puddle, but I kept getting sidetracked from its obnoxious crying.
("For the love of- I'm going to kill it.") [Solace]
And so I made up my mind.
"|Wind Edge|." [Solace]
Forming a blade larger than any other I have ever created, I lopped off the demon's head. The head slid off its neck and landed with a loud thud, which didn't stop me from feeling creeped out by it's still open eyes.
"Ugh… That's hella gross." [Solace]
"You have gained |Experience|. |Experience| limit reached. You have gained a level." [Spirit Guide]
I was back on the grind. After hearing that line repeat a few times, a new notification was given.
"You have impressed the gods with your valor in combat. You have been bestowed a title." [Spirit Guide]
("Huh?") [Solace]
That was the first time I received such a line. Right after hearing about getting a new title, I immediately checked my status.

("...Well ain't that nice.") [Solace]
A strange title, from an unknown entity. Honestly, it was a bit surprising. I knew gods were a thing, but didn't think they were real. After thinking about it for a minute, I simply moved on.
"Okay… So now that I've killed that demon, what should I do now?" [Solace]
Just as I spoke about it, I heard a groan behind me.
"What was that? ...Oh crap, I almost forgot!" [Solace]
Turns out, Fina was waking up. I wasn't too sure of how I was going to explain the situation, but I didn't want her to find out about my evolution.
("What do I do? What should I do?!") [Solace]
Just as I could see her eyelids twitching, an idea popped into my head.
("Wait… don't I have that?!") [Solace]
