"Demon Summoning is a ritual to summon demons of the Demon World here in the Mortal World."
"Hundreds of years ago, a Demon Lord told us that we Demon God's believers have to wait for hundreds of years for the Sword Saint to pass away and summon them again, and we will be rewarded by the Demon God himself."
Zephyr listened as he was very curious about the setting of Tensura. If it was any other player, they would surely freak out upon hearing the information as it sounded like it was going to be an end game.
"That's why we believers of the Demon God waited and formulated the plan to summon demons all over the world as we spread into the entire west continent of Tensura to summon the demons on the same day if we received a signal."
Hearing it, Zephyr then asked curiously.
"And when would that day be?"
"5 years from now, That is what the Demon Lord said to us when he communicated again with the Oversear of the Demon God's Cult.
Zephyr contemplated for a while and then thought of something that if someone heard, they would totally fall into despair.
"Seems like you guys are no fun. Try to summon a demon right now. I want to fight one as I was curious about fighting a demon again. "
"Again?"
He widened his eyes as he heard Zephyr's remark that he had fought a demon before. As he could see Zephyr was fine and wasn't afraid at all, he concluded Zephyr won and killed the demon, which made his heart beat faster as he began to notice something he had overlooked.
He felt all of them were stupid for overlooking an aura that was radiating around Zephyr. It was an aura that made them uncomfortable as they felt threatened by it. He was now sure of what it was.
The Devil Slayer, only a person who has slain a legendary rated demon can become the Devil Slayer. He was surprised that the person who seemed to be an absolute existence was actually a Devil Slayer all along, which made him think that it made sense that he couldn't disobey him at all.
"Summon one right now, as I want to see how great the demons you believe in are."
His body then obeyed his command as he led Zephyr inside a hall filled with blood magic circles.With his super sensitivity, Zephyr felt an ominous feeling from it, and he felt a slight anticipation from it.
Zephyr also saw the other followers, but none of them moved, as if they were waiting for the one who led him to give the signal for them to start their attacks. Zephyr concluded that this person is the one leading this hideout.
He began chanting some unknown words, but Zephyr didn't care. It didn't take long for the magic circles to light up and turn dark.
A portal began to emerge slowly as the magic circles glowed blood red.Zephyr watched it curiously as he was impressed by the Atlas Corps innovation.
If any other people saw a portal connecting to the demon world, they would certainly stop, because even the weakest demon was much stronger than average men.
A portal then opened as a limb full of sharp claws appeared in the portal. Soon, a face with a sharp fang and a head with a horn appeared. Zephyr watched curiously as he did not see a wing, unlike Abaddon.
"Aaahhhh!"
The demon then roared as it released its intense demonic energy as it felt the air of the Mortal World after some time.
[You have been engulfed by demonic power.]
[The mighty demonic power has applied fear, corruption, and corrosion.]
[You have resisted.]
"Finally! I'm back in the Mortal World. "
The demon turned his head around his summoner. Before he could speak, he accidentally glanced at Zephyr and immediately flinched, sensing a familiar aura from him. His eyes widened after recognising it.
'Devil Slayer! What is a Devil Slayer doing here? '
He felt confused, wondering why a demon slayer just watched the demon summoning without doing anything about it. He felt strange because the Devil Slayer's role is to stop Demons.
He also thought of the possibility that the Devil Slayer had sided with them and turned his back against humanity. But before he could speak his thoughts, Zephyr spoke nonchalantly with his monotone voice, as usual.
"Seems like a demon finally appeared for a hundred years or something. I hope this one will be more interesting. "
Zephyr stated as he inspected the demon in front of him.
[Lesser Demon]
Rating: Rare
Level: 39
Tier: 1
HP: 68,600
MP: 40,600
Zephyr was honestly impressed, seeing that the demon possessed high HP. It was much larger than the Demonized Kobold King, which was designated as the boss.
He also concluded that this individual is a mob rather than a boss. Seeing a demon's stats for the first time, unlike Abaddon, who was weakened and sealed, Zephyr then asked the demon with curiosity.
"What are the ranks of the demons?"
"Lesser Demon-Tier 1"
Greater Demon-Tier 2
Arch Demon-Tier 3
Demon Nobless:
Baron-Tier 4
Viscount- Mid Tier 4
Earl- High Tier 4
Marquise- Tier 5
Demon Duke- Mid Tier 5
Demon Lord- High Tier 5
Demon King- Tier 6
Demon Emperor- Supreme Tier 6
Demon God- Absolute Tier 6."
The demon's eyes widened as he replied to Zephyr without him knowing. He wondered what just happened as he had just revealed the hierarchy of the Demon World.
Hearing him, Zephyr nodded as he still didn't understand what Tier stood for but wasn't bothered as he knew he would receive his answer once he underwent his Tier advancement.
"I see."
[The target is a demon.]
[The Devil Slayer title effect is activated.]
[All damage is dealt twice to the demon.]
Zephyr wondered why this title effect wasn't activated when fighting the ones he had fought before, as they were also categorised as evil beings. He concluded that the Devil Slayer's purpose is to kill only pure demons and not the ones who are only demonised and not the ones who only borrow the power of the demons.
Zephyr then held his sword as he looked calmly at the demon who immediately charged at him after having the ability to control his own body returned.
Zephyr accurately parried and deflected the sharp claws, which were surrounded by demonic power. He felt that if he blocked it, he would be thrown away, as he felt the demon also had immense strength.
Zephyr then launched six consecutive attacks with [Illusory Sword] aimed at the demon's neck and head.
[You have dealt 3,456 damage to the target.]
[You have dealt 3,486 damage to the target.]
[Critical!]
[You have dealt 4,256 damage to the target.]
[You...]
[You have inflicted 'Hydra's Poison' to the target.]
[The target will lose 10% HP per second for 10 second.]
The demon let out a screech of pain after being hit by the attacks of the Devil Slayer. He roared angrily as intense demonic power appeared and his eyes were filled with bloodlust.
The demon then appeared behind the back of Zephyr as it launched an attack. Zephyr skillfully avoided it as his super sensitivity was screaming not to take the hit or else he would surely perish. After maintaining a certain distance against the demon, Zephyr cast [Fire Bolt], stunning the demon for 2 seconds.
Zephyr dashed after seeing it unable to move, unleashing skill after skill while continuously spamming [Fireball].
Bam, bam, bam.
After being bombarded with Zephyr's attack, it retaliated immediately, launching an attack in the direction of Zephyr's face. he couldn't avoid it, Zephyr lifted his sword as he blasted him away, making him thrown away.
As the demon was about to charge at Zephyr, its body stopped moving as it spit out blood. The demon widened its eyes as it realised something.
'Poison?'
He wondered when he was poisoned, as all he could see was that Zephyr only slashed with his sword and used fire magic. He then looked at the sword of Zephyr, which he felt familiar with. It took him a while to recognise it.
The Sword of the Legendary Demonic Swordsman Abaddon
He wondered why it was held in the hands of a human, as it should belong to Abaddon, who was very famous in the Demon World. Yet, it was in the hands of the Devil Slayer. His thoughts froze when he thought about how he became a devil slayer.
It's impossible. Don't tell me he was able to kill Abaddon, making him a Devil Slayer.
The demon did not know that Abaddon was weakened at that time, as all he knew was that Abaddon was a legendary demon and a demon earl, which was very high in his eyes.
Before he could organise his thoughts, Zephyr appeared and used [Saint's Sword Dance] along with [Hell Fire], making the lesser demon scream even more.
The lesser demon's HP fell to 70% in just 2 seconds as it endured Zephyr's combos. However, Zephyr then appeared in the back of the demon and was about to use Vorpal Destruction.
The tail of the demon smashed Zephyr, making him throw him away. His super sensitivity wasn't able to detect an attack again, making him undergo a bit of trouble.
[You have suffered 3,500 damage.]
Zephyr also suffered much damage as his defense wasn't able to endure much of the unexpected attack. The demon suddenly appeared in front of him and struck its claws downward. Zephyr narrowly avoided it as he flipped backwards. Zephyr then used [Firestorm], making his vicinity rain fire.
Zephyr tried to burn everything as he also cast [Fireball] simultaneously as his sword skills were still on cooldown. Zephyr then appeared in front of the demon and slashed it with [Vorpal Destruction] as he was followed by [Paralysis Bite], making it unable to move for 5 seconds.
Zephyr thought he would see some despair on the demon's face as it knew what would happen during those 5 seconds as every second it would lose 10% HP per second due to the poison.
Zephyr then slashes with basic attacks as he also spams [Fireball] at the demon. The Demon God's followers who were spectating shivered as they saw an incomprehensible sight.
A human is beating a demon without allowing the demon to retaliate. All of them shivered as they witnessed what a Devil Slayer could do against a demon.
After the 5 seconds ended, the demon was left with 3% HP. Zephyr didn't waste time as he slashed the neck as he knew this demon was just a mob and not a boss.
[The target has died!]
[3,000 experience has been acquired.]
[You have acquired 55 silvers.]
[Level Difference of 19. Exp gain multiplied to 1,900%]
[57,000 experience has been acquired.]
Silence filled the entire hideout as a demon didn't last at least 10 seconds in the hands of the Devil Slayer. The Demon God's followers knew how strong a demon is as they were created by the Demon God himself, and even the weakest demon is 10 times stronger than an average human, yet the one in front of them easily took care of a demon.
Looking at the dead corpse of a demon, Zephyr then shifted his gaze to the Demon God's followers, which made them all shiver. As Zephyr was about to start exterminating them, another two demons came out of the portal as the portal was still active.
Both demons were laughing maniacally as soon as they came out, but immediately became silent as they saw the dead body of their fellow demon. They then saw Zephyr, who was bathed in the blood of the demon, as they suddenly flinched and muttered with wide eyes.
"Devil Slayer!"
Hearing them, Zephyr shifted his cold gaze to the two new demon mobs as he suddenly remembered that the portal was still active. He thought his entertainment wasn't done yet, as he knew more demons would only come.
Zephyr gripped his sword as flames started to appear around him as he felt a slight anticipation of fighting more demons, which made him use all his skills.
"This is exhilarating."
