Extra Pages: The Author's Odyssey
Chapter 133: Demon

A cold chill funds down Lucas's body as he saw the power of attack, if that wind blade had hit him he would be dead for sure.

Lucas took a deep breath and glanced at his surroundings after confirming that aside from him and the Humanoid Monster and of course S-rank dungeon, Lucas summoned his most powerful weapon.

A black bow comes in his hand with a silver texture at the end of it, yes Lucas is going to use a Nightshadow bow and kill Humanoid Monster in one shot.

The reason why didn't use it before is that he didn't want to let anyone else know here, after all, Lucas not going to make the same mistake he made at Nightbar.

Mana spilt out from the tip of his finger and materialized into an azure arrow on the stretched bowstring.

Before Lucas could shoot that arrow, the Humanoid Monster again used wind magic and the wind blade came toward Lucas with frightening speed.

Lucas could do nothing but jump the in air. From there, no one going to stop him from shooting an arrow.

In the next moment, Lucas loosened his grip on the bowstring and the mana arrow he had conjured shot forward, hurtling toward Humanoid Monster at breakneck speed.

-Swoosh!

The power of the mana arrow is ten times stronger than the normal one because of the Nightshadow bow.

The current power of the Mana arrow is [C+] ranked at its best and Humanoid Monster is only at [D+] rank, there is no way that monster going to be safe after this.

...Well that was what Lucas thought.

Knowing that he could not dodge the mana arrow the Humanoid Monster placed the crystal orb in front of him to save himself.

-Boom!

A shock wave went through the surrounding area as an arrow hit the crystal orb.

Lucas was thrown back because of a shockwave but was somehow able to land himself safely.

Lucas turned his head toward Humanoid Monster and his widened.

His mana arrow was still in battle with Crystal Orb, Lucas thought that his arrow could easily be able to destroy the orb.

But he was wrong.

The shockwave was so powerful that the rainstorm was also thrown back with sheer pressure from the shockwave.

Lucas thought that this was going to fail but he was worried for nothing.

-Crack!

-Boom!

In the next moment, a crack appears on the crystal orb and after that, the orb is destroyed.

the azure arrow went through the crystal and tore apart the Humanoid Monster's arm.

The arm flows right side and a large amount of black blood leaks from the Humanoid Monster.

But even after taking this much damage, the humanoid monster didn't even flinch.

'Now this going creepy.' Lucas thought as he picked up his sword.

"What kind of monster are you? At least show some pain." Lucas shouted at the Humanoid Monster but the monster didn't even blink at the shouts of Lucas, he was staring at those same Lifeless eyes.

-Splash!

Lucas had enough of this play.

He ran straight at the Humanoid Monster with a sword in his hand as the sound of water splashing could be heard from the ground.

Lucas's aim was the heart of the Humanoid Monster.

The Humanoid Monster's movement became sluggish as he could not dodge or defend himself against Lucas'sblade.

Lucas thrust the tip of the sword into the desiccated flesh of the Humanoid Monster. The black, bark-like skin offered a lot of resistance to his sword blade, but the force of the blow was terrible enough to rip through flesh and bone, allowing it to pierce the body of the Humanoid Monster and emerge from his back.

Lucas just hoped that this bastard had anatomy similar to humans and that their hearts were located in the same place.

From the look of it, they were… however, the monster did not react to having his heart destroyed as a human would. Instead of dying, he simply grabbed the blade of Lucas's sword and took a step forward, skewering himself deeper onto it, in an attempt to reach Lucas with the other working hand.

'Fuck!'

Lucas twisted the blade, severing the monster's fingers, and then pulled the odachi upward, slicing through his ribcage, neck, and skull.

This, finally, caused the Humanoid Monster to die.

For a moment there was nothing but heavy rainstorm water.

-Thud!

Humanoid Monster's body went limp and hit the ground.

Lucas took down his sword, and the black blood of the Humanoid Monster washed away from the storms.

"Finally-" Before Lucas could finish what he wanted to say, the S-rank dungeon began to glow again.

Lucas looks toward the dungeon gate with an irritated expression on his face.

A creature wearing human skin walked out of the danger gate, there was two horn on his head and one long black tail behind its back. The monster was wearing a battered cloth on its body aside from its head everything was part human.

One after the other same monster walked out of Doungen Gate and soon enough their number went up to a hundred at least.

Lucas felt an unknown fear as he watched these monsters coming out of the gate.

...No monster is not the right word.

They were demons, a real demons.

"Astral Dash," Lucas mumbled under his breath and vanished from there before demons could spot him.

He reappeared behind the tree, he was holding his breath so demons could not spot him but thanks to a heavy rainstorm they did not sense his smell... For a Little while.

'...Why are demons here?...what type of demons they are? They should not appear at all!'

Lucas thought were in a mess, no matter how much he thought he didn't replace any cause that helped demons on this side of the world.

'Should I run away?'

That was the logical answer that Lucas came up with.

No matter how or what he does there is no way for him to win against this many demons, heck Lucas knows that this is not the end of it.

More monsters will come, from the S-rank dungeon gate until someone strong enough to close it.

Knowing that he would die if he tried to fight it Lucas took a step backwards, to run away from here.

"What the hell! What type of monsters are these?"

Just as he took a step back he heard a voice.

And he knows who's voice that.
