**sub quest:Devour**
Jin Hwa stared at the quest displayed before him. The content of the quest instructed him to consume five times his usual amount of food within a single day. The penalty for failure was death.
**Reward:**
Cursed Random Box
Jin Hwa comprehended the sub-quest and decided to tackle it right away. As the night turned into day, he embarked on the unusual task of consuming five times his usual amount of food. By the end of the day, his stomach was full to the brim due to the quest's requirements.
With a satisfied but slightly uncomfortable feeling in his belly, he couldn't help but mutter, "Oh well, I hope this is the first and last time I get a quest like this."
Jin Hwa received his reward for completing the "Devour" sub-quest and opened it with a sense of déjà vu. His reaction, however, was far from surprised as he found another key inside. This time, it was named "Devour," and its description was different. To use it, all he had to do was say the word "gluttony."
Without a hint of surprise, Jin Hwa stood up and uttered the word, "gluttony." In an instant, a portal materialized in front of him, ready to be explored.
As Jin Hwa entered the portal, he found himself in a vastly different environment compared to Belphegor's eerie domain. This new place was an expansive field, littered with skeletons and corpses. Curiosity led Jin Hwa to explore this unusual landscape.
While wandering through the field, he suddenly heard a voice calling his name, "Vessel... Jin Hwa." Intrigued and slightly unnerved, he questioned, "Who's there? Who are you?"
In response, the voice replied cryptically, "You shouldn't ask me that. Look around you." Jin Hwa scanned his surroundings and noticed someone standing behind him. Perplexed, he asked, "Huh? Are you Gluttony?"
With a sudden outburst, the figure revealed its identity. "No, I'm not Gluttony," it declared, its voice growing more intense. "I am Beelzebub!" As Beelzebub made this proclamation, a ray of dark energy burst forth in front of Jin Hwa, signaling the beginning of their encounter.
After narrowly avoiding the ray of dark energy, Jin Hwa couldn't help but remark, "So this is like a test again," He readied his glaive and charged at Beelzebub.
In response to Jin Hwa's charge, Beelzebub found it rather intriguing. "INTERESTING!" he exclaimed as Jin Hwa's attack successfully landed, revealing Beelzebub's youthful but handsome face, adorned with intricate engravings.
Jin Hwa, still in the midst of the battle, asked directly, "So you are Beelzebub?" The combat continued, with Beelzebub employing his magical abilities while Jin Hwa deftly evaded the dark magic with the glaive in hand.
As Jin Hwa successfully evaded Beelzebub's attacks and attempted to use the "Enthrall" skill, Beelzebub simply grinned, unaffected by the skill. Jin Hwa was left in shock and couldn't help but question in his thoughts, "What? It didn't work!?" Frustrated, he muttered, "Tsk."
Beelzebub responded with a nonchalant tone, "That's not gonna work. I need to see your pure skill and potential."
As Beelzebub undergoes a startling transformation into a nightmarish, unknown creature, the battlefield changes drastically. His form becomes grotesque and surreal, with multiple limbs and monstrous features. The atmosphere grows even more ominous as he unleashes a newfound power, emanating a dark aura that engulfs the surroundings.
Jin Hwa is taken aback by the transformation, his eyes widening in shock. He quickly realizes that this isn't just a simple test; it's a battle for survival. He tightens his grip on the glaive and prepares himself for the challenge ahead, determined to prove his worth.
The fight intensifies as Beelzebub's new form grants him extraordinary strength and devastating attacks. Jin Hwa's endurance and combat skills are put to the test as he strives to hold his ground against the formidable creature that was once Beelzebub. The field becomes a battleground of monstrous clashes, dark magic, and unrelenting determination as the true fight begins.
Despite his best efforts, Jin Hwa's rapid strikes only manage to leave scratches on Beelzebub's nightmarish form. Beelzebub, however, finds amusement in this and taunts him, demanding more than mere scratches. His menacing laughter fills the battlefield.
Jin Hwa begins to feel the effects of fatigue creeping in, as the relentless battle takes a toll on his endurance. Beelzebub mocks him for tiring so quickly, asserting that they haven't even begun the real fight.
To be continued...
