With gritted teeth and determination, Jin Hwa charges at Beelzebub once more, his glaive in hand. As he launches his attack, Beelzebub continues to mock him with a sinister grin.
Beelzebub: "Is that all you've got, vessel? Rapid strikes and determination, but you lack finesse! Show me more, make this fight interesting!"
Jin Hwa's anger fuels his resolve, and he pushes himself to unleash a more complex and powerful combination of his skills, hoping to prove himself to the demon.
Jin Hwa, his stamina dwindling, charged at Beelzebub once more. Beelzebub's menacing laughter echoed in the eerie field as he reveled in Jin Hwa's desperation. Their strikes clashed with an almost deafening force. Beelzebub's malevolent grin was infuriating, and Jin Hwa couldn't hold back his frustration any longer.
"Why are you grinning again, you bastard?" Jin Hwa shouted between heavy breaths, his voice seething with anger. Their combat was a furious exchange of blows, each clash resonating with power.
The battle had reached a point of no return, as both combatants were now fully invested in the fight, pushing their limits to the extreme. Jin Hwa's determination burned fiercely, while Beelzebub's sinister grin never faded as he seemed to relish every moment of the relentless clash.
Beelzebub, his malevolent laughter still echoing, suddenly shouted, "Enough!" In an instant, he reverted to his human form, his eerie transformation fading away. With a contemplative look in his eyes, he addressed Jin Hwa directly.
"I didn't choose you because of your desperation," Beelzebub began, "but instead your bright soul. That's the vessel our lord wants. Now grow and make our lord descend, kill those filthy gods!"
As Beelzebub's words resonated in Jin Hwa's mind, he found himself instantly back in his room. It was as though he had never left, as if the whole eerie field confrontation had been a fleeting dream. Jin Hwa couldn't help but wonder, "That's it? I thought the fight was just starting." Realization dawned on him that Beelzebub valued his body because he was chosen as the vessel for something far greater.
**Congratulations for earning Beelzebub's respect!**
**Reward:**

**Skill Rune (1) - Gluttony Absorption**
**Description:** Gluttony Absorption allows you to devour the abilities and skills of defeated foes. There's a chance to permanently acquire one of their skills upon successful activation.
**Activation:** To activate Gluttony Absorption, simply speak the word "Devour" after defeating an opponent. If successful, you'll gain one of their skills.
Jin Hwa, fascinated by the newly acquired Gluttony Absorption skill, is eager to unlock his second skill rune. He can't wait to see what other abilities and powers he might gain.
**Skill Rune 2: Famished Blade**
**Description:**
Famished Blade is a skill granted to Jin Hwa by Beelzebub, the Lord of Gluttony. This skill allows Jin Hwa to channel his inner hunger and unleash it through his weapon, empowering his strikes with the insatiable nature of Gluttony. With Famished Blade, each successful attack has a chance to siphon the strength or abilities of his adversaries.
**Activation:**
To activate Famished Blade, Jin Hwa recites the incantation "Drain." The skill remains active during battles, and each strike he makes while it's active carries the potential to absorb the attributes of his foes, strengthening him even further.
Jin Hwa calmly activated Skill Rune 2, known as "Famished Blade," with the new activation word. As the power coursed through him, he remained composed. His expression was one of icy determination. He thought to himself, "This skill... it will be a valuable addition to my arsenal."
