After having his meal, Arthur finally was able to relax for the first time since he came to this unknown world that seemed to be full of demons.
He sat down and started making plans for the future.
'Now that I killed all the demons of this base, I need to find a new Xp and heart fountain.'
'But first of all, I should loot this hideout first.'
Arthur got up and went towards where he killed the leader demon of this hideout. He was first going to search its body before looking for any valuable thing in this base.
Tap Tap Tap
Arthur tried to find anything valuable within Kuar's body, but he didn't find anything. Just as he was going to give up, he saw a ring on his left hand finger.
'It can't be the legendary spatial ring, can it?'
With expectations in his eyes, Arthur took the ring of Kuzar's finger and tried to put it on his own. Because of the ring's size, the only finger which the ring feat was his thumb. He then tried to open the ring with his mind, succeeding in the first try.
The ring had a space of 1 cubic meter, and inside it was gold coins, high-level mana crystals, letters, books, and potions.
Seeing that the ring still had some space, Arthur went to the storage room and stored some dry meat and water inside the ring.
After that, he went to the room, which called the most attention to him, the one in the deepest part of the cave.
Arthur looked around the room, trying to find anything valuable, when his eyes stopped on the table in the middle of the room. What called Arthur's attention wasn't any gold or 'valuable' good. It was a map!
Arthur took a look at the map and realized that he didn't understand anything that was written on it. The only information he was able to understand was some red and green points on the map that Arthur believed to be places with demons.
Arthur took the map in the spatial ring, already having designs on it, and kept looking for anything that could call his attention.
30 minutes later…
During the last half hour, Arthur recovered some silver and gold coins from the rooms. He organized the spatial ring and took another dagger to make a pair with the one he already possessed.
With the map in his hands, Arthur was ready to cause trouble to the demons. He already figured out how to navigate using this map. His destiny was the closest small red dot to him.
..................…
During the journey, Arthur many times stopped to deal with the demon's scouts. He tracked them through his smell and killed and assimilated every demon he found traces of.
After 2 days, he arrived at his goal.
It was a small demon town full of demon soldiers. Arthur was amazed with the number of demons inside the town. Only the thought of fighting against all them made Arthur's grip on his daggers tightened and his blood boil.
Arthur wanted to fight against the demons and kill all them!
And so he did.
Because of the sentinels guarding the town, there was no reason for Arthur to approach furtively. He rushed against the town, ready to commit a massacre!
Swoosh!
Stab! Stab! Stab!
Arthur managed to easily kill 3 sentinels before the alarm of the town activated. But he didn't mind it. He was completely immersed in killing the demons and assimilating their hearts!
Stab! Stab! Stab!
Demon after another rushed against Arthur, but they couldn't even grasp Arthur's movement as demon after demon fell in the ground as their heart was assimilated.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
After killing the 22nd demon, stronger ones at the D-rank began to make their appearance. But it was useless. They still were easily pierced by Arthur's daggers.
[Demon's heart assimilated, talents acquired: Demonic Body, Superior strength]
[Demon's heart assimilated, talents acquired: Demonic Body, Superior Agility]
[Demon's heart assimilated, talents acquired: Demonic Body, Superior Vitality]
Arthur felt his strength increase in real time as the speed demons were falling increased.
Class: Apprentice Assassin 87%
From time to time, Arthur was also paying attention to his class progression. He was planning to upgrade his class the moment it reached 100%.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
Observing the battlefield, Arthur observed as the other demons started to open space for three others, which seemed to have a higher authority and strength to face Arthur.
Arthur's eyes brightened as he prepared to face these demon knights that were in the C-rank. He was the first to make a movement as he launched a violent stab against the one in the middle.
Clang!
Both the demon and Arthur came to a halt as none of them had any advantage in this clash!
Dodge! Dodge! Clang!
Arthur easily avoided their attacks and counterattacked. His speed was way above those who specialized in strength, and the strength of his hand was enough to go against them.
If he had time Arthur would like to fight with them for a long time and polish his dagger skills which were a little lacking, but he knew that he didn't have time as more and more demons started gathering around, it was a matter of time before more demons that could fight him to appear! He needed to kill one of them quickly and level up his class to increase his advantage!
Arthur gritted his teeth and decided to make a risky move. He took a deep breath, and at his full speed, he advantage towards the weaker of the three demons.
Stab!
Stab!
By ignoring any consequences, Arthur pierced his dagger in the demon's neck. But in exchange…
The demon's spear pierced Arthur's right shoulder!
At this moment, many things take place.
