[Shadow release is possible.]
...
Black steam was raging over the corpses of the Hyeonmu Guild, refusing to die.
And the moment Suho's order was given.
Swoosh-!
Creepy sounds echoed in the air.
Along with that, the black shadows of the corpses began to form new bodies as they raged furiously.
Swoosh!
[Shadow Soldier Lv.1]
General Class
[Shadow Lancer Lv.1]
General Class
[Shadow Shield Lv.1]
General Class
Even if they were the 2nd Army of the Hyeonmu Guild, they were hunters made up of a perfect combination as a raid.
Of course, when released as a shadow soldier, there was a downside to slightly weakening their powers compared to their previous lives, but there was a strong advantage that was worth considering.
Immortality!
The moment they became shadow soldiers that never die, they turned into a demon-like army that did not hesitate and rushed only to slaughter the enemy.
[Kyaaah!]
[Kyaaaah!]
A thunderous roar erupted from their mouths, even if they lost the ability to speak.
[T-This can't be...!]
The transcendent mid-level demon who saw Suho's shadow soldiers could not help but be astonished.
Nonsense.
Something really unbelievable happened.
All the demons still alive after the Outer Gods War was over, were in fact defeated soldiers who had fled and hid from the war.
That's why none of the demons there properly saw the victor of the war, the Shadow Monarch.
However, the mid-level demons, who were superior to the general low-level demons, instinctively noticed the identity of the death aura spreading around Suho.
[Shadow Monarch...!]
No, the Shadow Monarch wasn't on Earth right now.
If the Shadow Monarch was still on Earth, they would never have dared to invade the place.
[Yes, it can't be! If you were the true Shadow Monarch, you would have annihilated us as soon as you saw us!]
The mid-level demon attacked mana power toward Suho.
Along with him, all the low-level demons attacked Suho's soldiers.
[Kill them all! These guys will be used as valuable materials for our great fight!]
Grumble!
Lightning strikes again from the sky.
'As expected, it's a skill.'
Suho mercilessly cut down the demons and continued to watch the sky.
The lightning tore the shadow soldiers to pieces.
But it didn't matter.
Swoosh!
[Kihahaha!]
The torn bodies of the Shadow Soldiers returned to their original form along with the black steam.
Like a demon, they cut the throats of the enemies in front of them again and pierced their hearts.
[Hahaha!]
Chief Lee Youngho, who was reborn as an armored knight, bursts into madness at the forefront of them all.
The moment he became a soldier of death, he poured out his cruelty on the demons as a faithful servant of Suho.
"Was he always such a tough old man?"
Suho smirked at his vicious fighting method, cutting off the heads of the demons and even using them as his weapon.
'Then, I can leave these little ones.'
His mana was being sucked out as the Shadow Soldiers regenerated over and over again.
[You purchased 'Item: Mid-Level Mana Potion'.]
Suho called Esil while drinking a mana potion.
"Esil!"
"I got it!"
Even if he didn't say anything, she knew right away.
Vulcan's Horn had greatly amplified its attack power thanks to the souls of the demons Suho had killed so far.
But even that was not enough.
To defeat the gigantic demon, a stronger demon's soul was needed.
Esil immediately transformed into a spiritual body and flowed into Vulcan's Horn.
[Vulcan's Horn devours the demon's soul.]
Swoosh!
At that moment, an extremely powerful and ominous energy rushed into Vulcan's Horn blade.
"Rakan!"
When Suho shouted while holding up the 'Rakan's Fang' in his other hand, an answer came from far away.
[The King of Beasts, Fang Monarch, nods his head.]
At that moment, Rakan's Sword was enveloped in a mystical aura.
A smile appeared on Suho's lips as he raised those two swords.
"Now, giant's armor."
[Use 'Skill: Giant's Armor'.]
Swoosh!
It wrapped around Suho's body!
As his body grew bigger and bigger, the size of the twin swords he was holding in both hands grew accordingly.
Suho immediately jumped at the mid-level demon.
[Ack!]
The mid-level demon reached out and threw a thunderbolt at Suho.
However, Suho did not stop attacking even after being hit by the thunderbolt with his bare body.
[Use 'Skill: Blade Storm'.]
Lightning and storms began to tear apart the sky.
At the center was a fierce clash between Suho and the mid-level demon.
The demon, who was on the defensive side due to Suho's sudden onslaught, took something out of his arms.
Purple powder enveloped his body like smoke.
At that moment, Esil's voice came to Suho's mind.
[Oh my god! Isn't that bloodstone?!]
"Bloodstone? What is that?"
[It's highly refined devil's blood! You can think of it as a much more powerful mana booster than stardust!]
"Stardust? Will it make you stronger?"
[Of course! Kill him before the bloodstone is absorbed! It's not a perfect bloodstone anyway, so the effect will be slow!]
Even while the conversation continued, Suho continued to attack.
[Haha! Even though it's still not the best version, it's enough! Not a problem! If I catch the demon noble, I will be able to make a better bloodstone!]
The mid-level demon was intoxicated with his rapidly rising power, showing an ecstatic expression.
Blocking Suho's attack with one hand, he mercilessly shook off his body.
Blag-!
"Ack!"
Blood gushed from Suho's mouth.
[Young Master-!]
Beru hurriedly flew. He was worried, but Suho immediately got up and put a potion in his mouth.
"I'm okay. It's still worth doing."
If the other side used bloodstone to gain strength, his side had potions.
The speed of HP filling in was a little slower, but because of the increased amount of physical strength, it was possible to take that much time.
It was rewarding to deliberately push himself to the limit.
Ring.
[The level of 'Skill: Tenacity' has increased.]
[Physical defense +80% → +100%]
Sigh.
Suho watched his first soldier fight while he was feeling the sensation of his increased defensive power.
Up in the sky, whenever the mid-level demon showed an opening, Quay would become a ray of spear and ambush him.
The beam of light was like a spider's web, cluttering his vision.
[Do you dare to see blood, Master?]
[Ack!]
As Quay became a shadow soldier, he could no longer use Royal Jelly.
It was the poison that brainwashed his own corps, and now that he had become a mere shadow soldier, he was not qualified to lead the corps.
But that didn't mean his extreme aggression was gone.
Lee Minseong, who had been conspiring behind people's backs all his life, had established himself as a leader who took the lead in slaying enemies.
Quay was quite satisfied with his appearance.
[It's fun.]
He was also never intimidated by the giant demon.
[Really fun.]
The power of immortality that he so longed for, and the power to slash the enemy with pure power without resorting to trivial moves from behind.
[This is really fun...]
Quay's spear eventually thrust into the shoulder of the mid-level demon.
[Is this my strength?]
[Aaah!]
[Die. Die. Die. Die! Die and vomit up ten million times more blood than my Master! Ha ha ha!]
Eventually, the energy of the bloodstone began to leak out again through the wound pierced by Quay.
That was a huge clash, but it only lasted less than 5 seconds.
In that short time, Suho had recovered at least enough energy to be able to move his body.
The mana power allows him to freely use SBM technique.
[Use 'Skill: Strong Body Manifestation'.]
Swoosh!
Both of Suho's arms were covered with black energy.
Due to the high level of the skill, the amount of mana consumed to maintain it also increased.
Moreover, the attack power was also increased.
[...!]
"Gotcha."
In the end, Suho's black hand pierced the energy of the bloodstone and grabbed the mid-level demon's neck.
At that moment, the demon's eyes met Suho's and, it trembled.
W-Wait...! This energy!
He was seriously mistaken.
He mistook Suho for the shadow monarch!
[You were a descendant of the Iron Body Monarch...!]
Slash!
He couldn't even finish his words and his neck broke.
[You have defeated a transcendent mid-level demon!]
['Item: Vulcan's Horn' devours the demon's soul.]
[Your level increased!]
[Your level increased!]
Numerous messages appeared in front of Suho.
But the message that followed was surprising.
Ring!
['Title: Demon Slayer' has been acquired.]
"Oh."
Suho's eyes sparkled.
After catching a lot of demons, he just got a title that was just right.
[Title: Demon Slayer]
It was a title given to hunters who are good at catching demons. All stats increase by 40% when facing demon type monsters.
"It would have been much more convenient if I got it sooner."
Swook!
Suho's body became smaller again, and Esil came out from within Vulcan's Horn.
She shuddered at the energy of 'Title: Demon Slayer' that she could feel from Suho.
Her instinct as a demon made her recognize Suho as a predator.
"Why are you so far away?"
"Oh, nothing."
When she came to her senses, Esil found herself hiding behind Lim Dokyoon.
Suho checked the message that he hadn't been able to check because he was busy earlier.
[You have completed 'Emergency Quest: Defeat the Enemies!']
[Do you want to check the reward?]
( Y / N )
"Yes."
[The following rewards are prepared.]
Reward 1. Recovery from abnormal conditions
Reward 2. 'Buff: Battle Roar'
"Buff?"
Suho looked confused.
'I'll have to use this at an important moment.'
Suho, who put off obtaining the reward, turned his eyes to the surroundings.
Before he knew it, Esil was standing on top of the corpse of a mid-level demon.
Red energy flowed from the corpse and was sucked into Esil's hand.
".... Suho."
Esil called out with a firm expression.
"This was a bloodstone made with my blood."
"Your blood?"
"Yes. It seems that there are some people who hunted me in the Demon Realm somewhere here."
[Young Master.]
Beru looked at Suho with a serious expression.
[If this is true, it will not be an easy fight.]
Beru clearly remembered the Radiru Clan he had seen during the War of Outer Gods.
Those who destroyed the family and amplified their strength with their blood would never be friendly to the Shadow Legion.
Suho also nodded his head with a serious expression.
"I'm pretty sure there's a factory here somewhere."
"That's right. The guys who made even bloodstone beyond stardust are somewhere here..."
The problem was that there was no way to find out where the factory was located.
"Should I have left one alive?"
Suho looked disappointed.
The demons were contaminated with mana, so he couldn't even release shadows.
"For now, let's look around this place..."
Right then, he heard Lim Dokyoon, who had been running around here and there.
"Suho! It looks like there's something here."
