The snake eyes glowed red and Vernox got ready for the next attack. He knew all of the snake's skills since he played this level in the game 19 times and only succeeded the 20th time.
The snake then opened it's mouth wide and shot out a red beam of light towards Vernox.
Vernox raised his hand up as a circle appeared in front of his hand. The runes that were floating and rotating around his head now floated to the circle and started spinning inside it.
A large ray of golden light shot out from the circle towards the red ray.
This was of course, the skill he was just granted access to, the holy ray.
*BOOOOM*
The place shook as an explosion took place. That red ray that the snake shot is very hot, hotter than fire, so Vernox was only able to use his own ray at the strongest to counter.
With immense speed Vernox dashed towards the monster who was stuck under some rocks that fell when the explosion happened.
The snake saw him coming and charged another attack, but before it could release it Vernox jumped with force and sliced off the monster's head.
~~~~
"Huff...huff"
Vernox collapsed backwards as he was almost exhausted. He was getting addicted to fighting monsters. Or was it killing them that was more fun...but anyhow, it was thrilling for him.
Seeing that the snake has been killed Minova rushed in to check if Vernox was okay.
"Are you okay?"
"Huff...huff...I'll live." Vernox said with a smile.
He can't believe that some time ago he was living a normal human life.
He stood up and walked towards the demon sword that just floated above an alter in the middle of the room.
The sword seems to emit a dangerous aura which surrounded it completely.
'I know what comes after this' Vernox thought and turned to look at Minova.
"Hey, Minova I might be unconscious for a while, but don't disturb me else we'll die."
"Y...yes...of course."
She shivered a little as she heard his words and she stepped back.
Vernox sat cross legged on the floor. He raised his hand grabbed the sword's hilt and was greeted by the system screen again.
[Curse is activated. Trial will begin]
Everywhere suddenly turned white and Vernox couldn't see anything but white.
After a while his vision cleared and he saw himself in an empty room and he saw bones all over the place.
It looked like he was in an enclosed cave.
"Arh Arh Arh...hahahaha"
He looked back and saw a huge demon with red skin. It resembled humans but it was bigger and it's eyes were crimson red. It had two horns which were even more menacing and the demon was actually smiling at Vernox.
'It's even more scary in real life' Vernox thought.
"Another person came to claim the sword of Satan. You will be devoured by me today."
The demon stood up from the rock chair which he was sitting on with a chain that had a ball at the end with spikes on it. It's called a chain mace.
'In the game the demon didn't say all that but it's cool. I still know how it attacks' Vernox thought, not letting his guard down.
This challenge was just about fighting this creature which is a devil to claim the sword of Satan.
Vernox charged towards the demon, leaving a trail of dust behind him.
"You're a fool!!
The devils voice bellowed as it swung it's weapon horizontally...
Vernox immediately slides down and avoided the attack.
If he didn't have enough agility points, he wouldn't have been able to do that. He immediately stood up and jumped and punched the devil on its left stomach.
"How dare you?"
The devil roared in anger as it waved it's chain madly. Vernox only smirked and slid between it's legs with perfect timing.
He kicked one of the legs and the demon lost balance and fell. Vernox jumped up high as he wanted to finish it with a powerful blow.
*BANG*
The demon punched him away and he crashed on another side of the room, breaking the walls a little.
'Oww..it hurts as fuck, am I not inside my head...how does it hurt' he got scared now.
The demon stood up and started spinning the chain mace around.
The devil suddenly threw the mace that had spikes at him.
Vernox's eyes shown as he jumped out the way. Immediately the ball was out of view he was greeted by a kick.
*Bang*
He crashed at another side of the room. The demon ran towards him immediately he landed. It was quite slow though.
'That's right, it can't use magic spells'
'holy ray'
He stretched his hand towards the demon and his hand shot out laser like bullets.
The demon easily bent, dodged, and deflected the spikes and continued charging towards him.
'I guess I have no choice'
[Full transformation]
Flames erupted from his body and formed a fire tornado around him that fire swirled and covered him.
The demon stopped in it's tracks as the light was abnormal. It furrowed it's brows and smiled.
"Seems like I'll have a good fight today." It mumbled.
------------
Soon, the flame dispersed and released Vernox in his demon form. He grew a little bit bigger, his skin was now red with scales on most areas. Two majestic red wings sprouted from his back as his eyes glowed a purple light. Just above his butt was a long red scaly tail that had a pointy end.
He had claws on both his toes and fingers while his canines grew longer and sharper.
'This is so cool, demon dragon kin transformation. My strength seems to have increased greatly'
"Raarrh!"
He ran towards the demon to attack with his newly found strength. The demon also ran towards him and they continued their fight.
-----------------
Meanwhile, Minova has been watching over her master who has been asleep for two hours.
'Is he sleeping?'
She ignored him and decided to sit down beside him since he said he didn't want to be disturbed. She turned to look at the sword that Vernox is holding who's blade was on black flames and wondered whether the sword was responsible for his behaviour. But she didn't touch him and stood up to explore the caves more.
