Leo was feeling quite pleasant with his new skill Demon Steps. To think a level 12 skill would appear in the body of a level 6 monster was quite good luck. "I wonder if regular monsters that come out of the gates on earth also drop these kind of rewards".
However he was interrupted by the loud road and system notification information him of the level 10 Monster nearby in the surroundings. A level 10, the beginning of the Monster rank and a whole new tier for Leo.
Looking at his status screen, he was now at level 7 with 17 points of agility, 14 points of strength and 8 stamina points. He had been faced with a good amount of luck for a while now, but even with his new shadow ability, he wasn't complacent enough to think he could beat a bottom rate Monster rank beast by himself.
His pouty expression and crumpled forehead easily lightened as the system gave him a solution to the current problem
[ Increasing difficulty ]
"Yesss! I love you system" leo had never been so excited in his life, the feeling of getting stronger was an intoxicating thing not to mention the rune crystals that came with it free of charge.
Several snarls erupted from different areas of the forest, the battle intent of leo was soaring to a level he hadn't felt before, standing in the shade of the trees while being seemingly surrounded.
It didn't take long for him to see several monsters coming out of the woods, some looked like cats and others looked like mutated rats. There were even some goblins and new disgusting monsters he hadn't seen before. But at this point, he wasn't disgusted in the slightest, rather his eyes carried a hungry murderous look that made these monsters slightly shiver as if they were the prey and this man in front of them was gonna eat them whole.
According to his system, all these monsters were above level 5, not a single one of them were like the slow zombies or the zero defensive Tasmadoor that he had fought a while back. In leos eyes, all he saw was a bunch of heaven sent Level up packs that had been gifted to him by lady luck.
"If only I had a weapon, this would have been much more fun". leo slightly gawked as he realized he didn't even know how to use a weapon and now he was talking about it as if he were a weapons master. "Let's try out those Demons steps, Shall we?"
[ Raging Shadow Chains ]
Leos Aura grew incessantly and the shady area was enveloped in black as the shadows started sweating from the trees and began a violent charge. The incoming monsters were caught of guard and the Shadows attacked the monsters in their hundreds as they were forced to defend.
With a slightly pale face, Leo was going to seize the momentum. He dashed on the spot and the floor cracked in pieces.
Leo dashed about the scattered monster horde in their battle against his shadows. He had poured all his mana into that attack and it wouldn't last more than two minutes at most.
[ Demon Steps Activated ]
Leo sped through the forest like a ghost. His silhouette appeared and disappeared at will like the grim reaper taking the lives of monsters one after the other with his fists.
Leo rushed ran up a tree like the demon version of spiderman. The unsuspecting mutated monkey that was battling with a shadow attempting to wrap it up was stunned to see Leo run up the tree. Before it could dodge, a heavy blow landed on the head and the monkey flew several meters into the nearby sense vegetation.
[ You have killed a level 6 Mutated Monkey ]
Leo flew through the trees with light footsteps that made it seem like he was flying. He appeared before a group of Wild mutated cats and threw out a bartender of punches. some had severed spines while the others took blows to the head.
Leo continued in this fashion but even with his speed, he couldn't finish off close to 100 level 5 or higher monsters in two minutes.
Soon the shadows stopped and leo was huffing and panting with both hands on his knees. He had killed 42 monsters and 27 more were rushing towards him, still a creepy smile flashed through his face.
Leo picked up a sharp edge rock he had found while moving through the horde. He stretched his hands out a without the slightest bit of hesitation drew a long and deep slash mark on his arm. Blood poured out and the frantic smell of blood made the monsters go crazy and rush towards him with more vigor.
A mutant Cheetah like monster had already arrived directly in front of him and lunged at his neck but in that split second, a feeling of dread filled its body as its nervous system was constantly warning it of the danger ahead of it.
Leo with his head bent down and blood gushing out of his arms disappeared from his original spot. The mutant cheetah felt a chill run down its spine as it slashed at thin air.
Before its legs could touch the ground, the head on its body's bad been ripped out with immense brute force that ruptured majority of the bones. The cheetah corpse fell lifeless to the floor with dread filled eyes.
All the rushing monsters stood still In their tracks, the little Intelligence they possessed was constantly warning them to run from the small human that had appeared in front of them.
Raising his head slightly, Leos faint blue eyes had been replaced with the redness of blood. His thoughts were no longer his to control and in his hands was a cheetah head that looked crushed by force.
[ Blood Rage skill Activated ]

[ Blood Rage; All users stats are doubled along with uses of all skills as well as endless supply of stamina and Mana, this skill also adults to any and all fighting styles. Requires a deep enough amount of blood to be dream from the user to be activated ]
The aura of death loomed in the air as a reddish black energy seeped out of leos body like a river. A shadow was instantly cast around the entire place forming a sort of barrier. Leo instantly flickered and the next moment, five level 6 beasts fell to the floor with headless bodies.
[ You have killed level 6 Harbull ]
[ You have killed level 5 Mutant Cheetah ]
[ You have killed... ]
The shadows power instantly showcased as spears formed from shadows began a reign of bloodshed. Those that tried to run away were bound by shadow chains and in leos hands were two Katana shaped swords that had been materialized from the shadows.
[ Instant Materialization ]
Leo moved with the Demon steps, his entire future was like the god of war moving to take the lives of the common folk who stood no chance against his tyrannical might.
After a short minute passed, the darkness disappeared and leos blood soaked figure stood in one place with two katanas in his hands. Around him were bodies littered all over with the pungent smell of blood still in the air.
Leos legs suddenly felt weak, the katanas fell to the floor and leo fell to his knees filled with blood and tired with sweat. Still that smug smile hadn't disappeared from his face and he looked at the notification before his eyes with unbridled joy.
