-rum- -rum- -rum-
Walking mindlessly, every step the demon takes, the ground shakes violently, dust and stones start to fall off from the cracks. It seemed like the building would collapse if it keep going.
Standing on the window high off on the room, a silhouette looking down at the demon, like a predator stalking its prey. And it nonother than me, Mari--Ahem*, Steve.
Dual-wielding the two swords that I Pickup from the two hollows, each of them coated with red-ish glowing energy that looks like flames.
As the demon walks into the ambush point, I jump down from the window, holding my two swords pointing straight into the demon skull.
~ 'Roahhhh'
The demon screamed in agony, shaking its head, trying to knock me down from its head. I then jump off its head, land not far from it. Slowly standing up, snapping my finger with a smug on my face, I cast the spell on my swords that still stuck on the demon head.
~snap~ " Ignite"
~Boom ~Boom
Two blazing explosions ignite on the demon's head. Flame exploded and spread everywhere.
The explosion was so big, that what remains of the demon was just a headless corpse with a burned meat smell flooding the room nonstop. The swords that were on its head were no more, melted into liquid what was left was a small fragment of the sword hilt.
"I guess appearances don't matter much, in the end, you still a tutorial boss. And it gonna take more than a big belly to defeat me"
As looking at the corpse, the floor suddenly shakes, and cracks appear. Cracks expand and form a giant hole right under my feet. It happened so fast, I wasn't able to react in time, falling into the hole.
Luckily, it wasn't too deep, I managed to land on the ground perfectly without breaking a limb. Looking around, the first thing I felt was a chill going down my spine.
The room I was in was an underground-looking sewer, smell just like my cell area. The ground was covered in moss, water flowing through the drains, there were a few torches on the wall, lighting up the place. Looking around, I saw no exit, it was a sealed place with just some windows covered by Iron bars linked to another room.
As I was looking around, that familiar sound strike me.
-rum- -rum- -rum-
"ROOAHHHHHHHEEEEEE"
Turning my back round, watch I saw shocked me. It was a demon that look identical to the asylum demon. But this one was bigger, its scales are thick and bulky, making it look like it wearing heavy knight armor. The only exposed part is its joints area and its head. Unlike the previous one, It was holding a giant stone hammer covered in the red-ish flame that look like burning souls. Slowly walk towards me, it swings its hammer left to right like someone trying their baseball bat for the first time.
Despite the difference, it still has the same eyes, soulless eyes without any emotions, like staring into the abyss.
Looking at my pouch, what I only have left is an ax and an iron sword. This won't do, these little toys won't be able to penetrate it. And even if I use the previous trick, it might not kill it and will put me in a more difficult spot. Damit...
While I was thinking of a way, a sudden notification popped up on my interface.

Using the Ax and the sword to block the demon attack, every single time I managed to block it, my hand state to tremble, and the weapon lost durability rapidly. Just 3 blocks so far, the ax handle start to crack, the sword blade form cracks everywhere. Not only that, sometimes instead of a slash, the demon slams its hammer to the ground with all its force, a sphere of red-ish soul flame blasts out. I managed to dodge it luckily but didn't get out unwounded, a few spots of my arm got hitter, and damn it hurt like hell.
The interface opens up after a quick loading.

Looking at it affect, smirk on my face, I drink all of it down. Instantly, my body feels much much strong, I can feel muscles getting tighter and harder. The energy in my body was fully charged, I felt like I can walk uphill 20 miles on one foot and my other foot was starting a business.
Coating my spear with a flame spell, with the increase of strength, I can now parry the demon attack. The demon slams down its hammer, waiting for the right moment, I reflect on his attack, staggering him. Without any delay, I roll through his crotch, I stab my spear right through his right knee.
Getting to a safe distance, I snap my finger.
~Boom~
The spear exploded, a blazing red flame burst out. Flame spread out, burning the demon's right knee, the smell of burnt flesh and smokes flooded the room. Unlike last time, the spear didn't melt after the explosion, but it was still heavily damaged with some spots slightly deformed and the tip of the spear is broken in half.
As expected, the explosion isn't strong enough to get rid of his leg, it only managed to cripple it. Which is good enough, his movement will be greatly reduced.
Screaming in agony, the demon attacks more fierce than before. It finally starts to get serious, the flame that covers its hammers burn stronger than before. Smashing its hammer to the ground, a bigger explosion of red soul flushes out. Look like phase 2 is here.
Taking out a great sword and a long sword, I coated the long sword with the flame spell. With super-strength, swinging the 10-kilo great sword is easy as a dagger.
As the hammer slam down, I parry its attack, my sword, and its hammer collided, a piercing metal sound echoes through the room. Then I stab the long sword into the demon's belly.
The demon slams the hammer again, this time I wasn't able to reflect it in time, I use my great sword to block it. Even though I block in time, even with the strength boost, the force was still like a truck slammed into me. Not only that, the burning soul on the hammer managed to scratch my left arm. I quickly extinguished it, but just that short moment, it already melts my armor, exposing my skin.
Grabbing about sword from my pouch and coat it with a flame spell. Not waiting for me, the demon, start charging toward me. Its speed increased drastically despite being crippled on one leg. Using it hammer like a spear, aiming straight at me, charge like a cavalry.
There is no way I can block that, it would be suicide. The distance between me and him getting shorter, there won't be enough time to dodge this.
Without time to was, I came up with a way to save myself but I will get heavily injured. Nah fuck it, at least I will keep my life.
Pierce my greatsword to the ground and use it as a shield, then I snap my finger.
~Boom~
The sword stuck on the demon's belly exploded, instantly getting him off balance and stopping charging. Even though he stops but because the momentum is still there, he flew straight at me. Holding my sword tight, the demon's hammer flies straight at me with his huge body.
My sword Collier his hammer at full force, I instantly got pushed back a bit but still managed to stand on. The entire soul flame on the hammer fly straight at me, my entire body covered with it. Intense pain immerses everywhere, the flame quickly eats all my flesh. My hand which got hit the hardest slowly became a skeleton's hand. Let go of my sword, I use the remaining part of the hand that is still functional. Grab a bottle filled with the campfire flame, I open it and drink all of it in one go. The flame inside the bottle quickly travel into my mouth and spread through my body. The pain slowly softened, the burned flesh and missing area started to fill up. It was like magic, my bony hands start to regenerate back to it used to be.
'So this the power of the flame huh, neat'
Picking up my great sword, using the remaining mana of mine, I coated it with a flame spell. The oat was so thick that you almost can't see the blade anymore, now it was just a big red great sword.
As the demon still struggling to stand up, taking out a dagger in my pouch, I launch it to the demon, pierce, and stuck deep into its abdomen. Using the dagger as a jump pad, I step on it laughing me to the sky. Holding my great sword facing down. Pierce it through the demon skull, so deep that the whole blade was stuck in there.
Jumping off the demon, with a smirk, I sending this bastard to Jesus. Snapping my finger, the sword that stuck on the demon started to glow.
~BOOOOOOM~
A huge explosion ignited inside the demon, lights piercing through its body. The flame expand rapidly, consumed the demon, cooking it from the inside out.
'ARHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh...hhh'
Letting out a final scream of agony, the demon faded away, left behind a cooked from the inside-out corpse.
What remains was a corpse with nothing inside, every that remains inside is charged coal and ashes. Its outside armor is still there, I have to say that it is very tough, despite a few cracks there and then, it is impressive that it is still intact. I think I might get some of this.
Besides that, it finally fucking over, It is time to get the hell out of here. TO LORDRAN WE GO.
