Demon Lord Part 4
Kent even have a though of marrying a angle for it's benefits. But shrug this off because of the difficulty of facing a seraphim. Seraphim's even the weakest one were at the tier 8 standard were even a tier night would be put in a standstill fight.
then when the player successfully defeated the seraphim they need to undergo a mating ceremony, to gain a child. After such event the players stats would be reduced by 25% for three months before regaining it. In a world of Chaos and fighting having a reduced stats was extremely dangerous. Moreover a player that stayed stagnant would be left behind as the others keeps advancing.
The born hero from the collaboration would became a walking doll for it's 15 years, before gaining a consciousness after reaching adulthood. The player is also forced to provide resources if it did not want to handover the child to the Holy Temple. The temple didn't force the couple to hand over the child as they prefer peace and harmony. But if the player wasn't able to fulfill the requirements for the resources the child needed the player would lost the child. Cause the child will die if their were insufficient resources being giving.

Returning to the fight with the demon lord. The demon rage lessen at it accepted Kent prowess to be on the same level as him. Moreover he realize if Kent were on the same tier 1 standard, he would supposedly be on the disadvantage.
As such he stopped looking down at Kent as he take the fight seriously. The two stared at each other with passive killing intent radiating. If people with insufficient metal strength were to stumble upon the cave outside, the chances of them fainting would be guaranteed. As Kent and the demon lord's killing intent even take for of that a little dragons for Kent while a sinister demonic monster of the demon lord.
While their killing intent became stronger as time passed the two tried to measure the other parties mental prowess. Using a killing intent one could weaken their enemies by instilling fear within them, but at the same time people that was directed by such killing intent would gain benefit from such acts.
However one could only gain a benefit if they come back alive from such a situation. As the two continue to measure each other the sound of system notifications sounded on Kent's ears.
[A player had successfully reach level 15 and reached the City of Bronze]
[A player had successfully reached level 15 and reach the town of Green Leaf]
Hearing the series notifications Kent's expression darken. He had invested to much time in this forest now player begun reaching level 15 and begun reaching the Cities. Kent had spent almost three days venturing and fighting demonic beast, mining recourses, searching for valuable herbs and facing the Demon Lord. Now he is in a pressure, not from the demon lord's killing intent but in his goals.
Kent admitted that he had underestimated other people's capabilities on this game. Now he was in a Dilemma if the benefit for being the first to the city would still be available. Moreover he still have plans that is yet to be accomplished in this beginning city of the fallen. As Kent was occupied in his thoughts the demon lord suddenly appear beside him, unlike before where it used it's claws. Now formed a punch it's big hand made the punch unavoidable.
Snapping from his daze Kent immediately activated the Demonic Ring of Protection's ability [Demonic Guidance] three seconds Invulnerability.
Kent was shoot out like a cannon ball.
Boom!
The wall was filled with smoke and dust from the impact, at that time the demon lord didn't make a move as he was being cautious.
Within the smoke a tall figure slowly emerge as it didn't even receiving a single damage, from that strong assault.
"I'm sorry I should have focused in the fight and thank you for that punch" Kent said sincerely apologizing while thanking the demon lord.
"I don't mind I think your mind is in a mess so I just gave you a little help"
In Genesis Era demons could be called to be the definition of warriors as when they face a person of a similar strength or capabilities to them they would not show any displeasure attitude on what normally demon do like being prideful. They would gave respect to their opponents and would accept defeat wholeheartedly as an honor. Unlike other novels or movies were demons were known for their schemes. Unfortunately the respect is only displayed in a one on one combat were they would reframe from using attacks that greatly damage's the soul. As the wanted to face off such opponents the second time the player revived.
As such this displayed of respect from the demon lord to Kent were natural. Even if Kent used schemes and sneak attack the demon wouldn't mind as long as it was a one on one fight.
Finishing their short conversation the two disappear from their positions, as they move in a extreme speed creating a sonic boom!
Kent made a sword movement without using a combat technique as he reply on his combat style.
The demon lord reply with a claw attack enveloped with thick demonic aura. Demonic aura in weapons would only appear to those that had embark to the path of demonic martial arts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two exchange attacks after attack. Kent rotating mid air executing a Combat Technique [Sky Piercing Strike]
Boom!
The demon lord was able to deflect it with the sacrifice of -13,890.
Kent then follow up by a series of piercing strikes as he looked like floating midair.
The demon lord was on a defensive formation enduring the series of attack it received.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The demon lord retry for a second before dashing one again, this time the demon lord found a flaw on Kent's movements and used it to counter attack.
Unfortunately for the demon lord it wasn't a flaw but a fake. Using this giver opportunity Kent rotated with a large force he then swung his sword aiming to slashed a vital spot… blood splatter as the demon lord's vital spit got in contact with the sword slash. The sword stopped as it got stacked on the demon lords body. -4,680
However at the same time a large fist was descending. On a closed call Kent let go for the stacked sword, follow up by a kick to the demon lord's body successfully evading the attack.
Kent moved back a few meters to gain distance and momentum for another attack.
"this kind of body wasn't really fit to such flights, let change the battle style to be more fun" at the same time the demon lord finished his words. The surge of energy within the demon lord's body gather in one point, making it smaller by at the same time making it denser increasing it's quality.
This ability is called miniaturization for beings that possessed huge bodies, to have a better gasp in their surroundings but in return their huge HP's would decrease.
After transforming the demon lord aura drastically change.
Appraising the demon lord expression stiffen.
[Hidden Special Boss]
Name: Demon Alzion (Demon Lord)
Level: Abnormally Weakened State 20 (Epic Rank)
HP: 500,000/500,000 (Miniaturization)
for player it's both blessing and disasters because when such being do a miniaturization their HP would decrease and if they weren't trained on such bodies their combat standard would decrease but that wasn't the case for the Demon Lord as he moved like me is more efficient in his new form. It's a disaster for players because their energies quality and density undergo a massive upgrade during the miniaturization. Making them a more tricky opponent than before.
