"Are you done ordering your subordinates around?" The undead asked
"Oh it speaks?" I said mockingly. At this point I doubt anything will surprise me.
"Yes I do." The undead said
"Well then do you have a name then." I asked genuinely curious
"No I do not." It replied
"Ok so what's your race?"
"I'm a ghoul."
'It must be a tier 3 undead.' I thought
"May I ask you a question?" It said
"Yeah sure."
"Why do you protect those humans and that creature with the radiant aura? I can tell by your aura that you are similar to me." The undead said
"I protect them because I feel like it and trust me we're nothing alike." I said with a disgusted expression on my face.
"I see so I guess...you can die with them." The undead roared and flew at me fast. I made another spear out hell fire and plunged it into the chest of the ghoul burning it's chest. The ghoul opened it's mouth and I sensed danger so I immediately dodged and a second later a black mist escaped it's mouth. I flew behind it interlocked my fingers and smashed it downwards and it crashed into a building. I used [Demon Enchant] on my hands causing them to be surrounded by a red aura then I charged towards the ghoul. The ghoul got up out of the building and sent five lines of pure demonic emergy at me and I flew over them successfully avoiding the attack. I flew towards the ghoul and swung my claws at it's neck but then something astonishing happened.
Just as my claws were about to connect with it's neck, a bone like substance covered it's neck successfully protecting it. The Ghoul turned it's head towards me and released a torrent of black gas and it hit me point blank. And it fucking hurt.

I quickly flew out of the black mist escaping further damage. My throat felt like it was melting and my skin was covered in severe burn marks and I saw a few pieces of my skin that looked like it was about to fall off. What was that attack?
"Do you like my [Corruption Breath]?" The Ghoul said mockingly.
'Cocky bastard.' I thought while gritting my teeth.
Suddenly, the ghoul swung it's claws and five black slashes flew at me and I quickly dodged and sent a concentrated fireball at the ghoul hitting the ghoul squarely once again. But unlike the last two times the ghoul wasn't sent flying instead it only flew back a few inches. Once the smoke cleared I saw the same white bone like stuff that covered it's neck covering it's stomach and then it started to grow. Before I knew it, it's entire body was covered by the stuff except it's mouth and nose. The ghoul smirked at me then it flew towards me at a high speed and I greeted it mid flight with a claw attack. I was obviously more agile in the air than the ghoul and so I managed to avoid it's claw attack while also landing a strike of my own but the attack didn't manage to pierce it's flesh and only left a deep claw mark in it's armour which healed quickly.
Even though I didn't manage to pierce it's flesh I wasn't discouraged since I knew that a skill like that uses a lot of DP and I could just wait until it ran out. But that's kind of cowardly so no. Looking the ghoul covered in armour I pondered what I could do to pierce it's armour but the ghoul didn't give me time to think and sent out black slashes at me forcing me to dodge. Seeing it couldn't hit me with the black slashes it flew after me but I was faster, frustrated it just continued to fire the black slashes at me and it was getting harder to dodge them with so many coming at me at once.
'I got it I.' I thought to myself. I then concentrated but that was hard to do while trying not to get sliced apart. My idea was this, I would concentrate my demonic energy into my claws only, my finger nails, not my entire hand. In theory it should increase the sharpness of my claws and cut through it's armour. It took longer than usual to control my demonic energy but that can be attributed to having to dodge these black slashes. I eventually succeeded and my claws got even longer and glowed a vibrant red.
'Now for the finishing touch.' I thought and then my hands ignited with hellfire. I flew towards the ghoul slicing through the black slashes that were in my way. The ghoul slashed at me but I easily dodged and thrusted my flaming claws into it's chest and my hand went straight through. I quickly pulled my arm out of it's chest and there were small flames in it's chest wound. It opened it's mouth and released a stream of black gas which I managed to dodge...most of.
[- 35 LP]
'Fuck.'
I angrily flew around it and slashed at the back of it's neck splitting it's cervical vertebrae a and instantly it tried to heal but small flames were left behind in the wound and when they came into contact with the black mist they flared up consuming it's entire head in flames. Taking advantage of the opportunity I spun around and kicked it's head off it's body.
[You have slain a level 1 Ghoul. You have gained 660 exp.]
[Your [Hell Fire] grows stronger.]
''I should have just used [Demons Pride].'' I sighed
