Chapter 7: Dark Hell (2).

The Dark Demons began to close the giant gate that acted as a entrance and a exit. They were geared in black armor with a crimson aura surrounding it. Their helms had four horns that pointed upwards in its forehead with three red circles at its peak.

"Damnit! They're all heavily equipped, unlike I," Kris said. "And the one that killed didn't even have any. I'm so screwed."

He was stationed on top of one of the many red hills, laying flatly on the ground and observing the Demons from afar. Kris had now finally made his decision.

"I'm going to die," Kris said plainly. "I lack resources for this fight so there is no other way. I'm going to die more than a thousand times, thus I'll become stronger and never give up."

"But I'm just using that nightmarish God's skill to get stronger. Wouldn't that be a bit out of style?" Kris inquired. "Or am I too prideful?"

Kris rised and stretched his arms in the air, and said with a sigh, "*Sigh* This'll take a while. But.. why should I kill those innocent creatures. I'll be just like that bastard. I haven't thought about the well-being of those monsters haven't I?"

"Yet, Humans and Monsters can't co-exist. Huh?"

Kris was abruptly cut while speaking.

"Something's coming, and fast- Argh!?"

He then got a gapping cut on the cheek.

A sharp object from afar came and cleanly and easily pierced the air, flying at almost the speed of sound.

The object had pierced the air where Kris stood.

"Crap," Kris groaned in slight agony.

Before the attack could have done more damage, at the last millisecond, Kris dodged the mysterious object that was hurtled towards him.

"It was a spear."

Warm blood dripped down Kris's cheek. A wide gapping cut was created on his cheek.

[Majestic Heal has been activated]

[-50 MP]

[2155.5/2205.5 MP]

A green glowing light engulfed Kris's giant wounded cheek and the gapping cut slowly healed.

"It's coming back?"

Kris could sense it. The spear was changing trajectory, heading back to him.

Kris quickly stepped to the side, and as soon as he did, the spear swiftly came and sliced off his right ear.

Blood gusted from his head. His eyes turned bloodshot and were filled with tears. Kris opened his mouth and let out a mighty roar of pain.

"...AAAGGRRRRRRRRRHHHHH!!!!"

This screamed marked the start of the Demons revenge against Kris, who intruded their humble abode.

Kris placed his hand - that held Eden - on his bleeding head.

[Majestic Heal has been activated]

[-50 MP]

[2105.5/2205.5 MP]

"Fuck this," Kris said, removing his hand from his now healed ear. "I am going to kill all those pricks right now!"

Kris began to walk down the hill. He was enraged by the Demons. It was quite hypocritical, since he stormed into the civilization ready to kill everything.

While walking down the hill at a fast pace, Kris said, "My healing skill, Majestic Heal, doesn't heal my health, only my wounds. And second is that it isn't a passive effect. But, it is still useful as a skill."

Kris was now ready. He stormed straight to the gate. He was already armed with his daggers which he had received recently.

Once again, Kris used all his might, trying to push the gate open.

"These idiots."

"They should have put something to block the gate gate within, so intruders wouldn't just.. strom.. IN!"

Kris had finally opened the gate with a final shout.

Like last time, as soon as he opened the gate, Kris was the center of attention. All eyes peered at him intensely. It was like God staring back at him. But Kris was a youth titled 'The One Who Fears No God Or Demon.' Why?

"..." Kris stayed quiet.

".. For fuck's sake, just come at me."

The Dark Demon Knights immediately charged at Kris with fierce. They held either swords or spears.

"Now, the damn problem with One Shot.."

A Demon Knight with a sword suddenly appeared behind him with the intent to kill in its eyes. The Demon swinged its sword and stroke Kris, targeting his head at immense speed and technique.

"Huh?" The Demon inquired.

Kris had blocked the Demon's attack with difficulty, with his legendary weapon Eden. The weapon that had a brown handled with glowing cyan colors, spiraling up and down. The blade, a see-through, cyan, icy color with a white symbol paved on the center. Right now, it was reinforced with freezing ice.

Because of the Dark Demon Knight's strength, Kris's hand was trembling intensely.

With Efriet, a black bladed weapon with a red center with a yellow symbol craved on top of it. The dark textured handle was covered untidy in an glowing orange steel. Kris raised the weapon in the air and striking the Demon underneath its helmet.

The weapon stabbed the Demon in the brain and the blade was engulfed in flames due to its effect, this the Demon was internally and externally lit on flames.

".. is that it divides the experience by a 100!"

After killing one of their comrades, the Dark Demon Knights amplified their pace.

Suddenly, a Demon Knight with a spear appeared on the right side of Kris.

"(Since this thing has a long reach..)"

Kris sliced off the edge of the spear with Efriet.

"(.. I'll just cut it short!)"

He then tossed Eden accurately at the Demon's head from under the helm.

The chopped spear turned into fire and the Demon turned into a statue of ice, killing it.

"(Just imagine the amount of experience I would have received if I killed them normally. In this place alone I can reach level 100. But from there it is going to be hard to level up.)"

Another Demon appeared in front of Kris. It had a sword, yet it decided to punch Kris straight on. The punch made an impact with Kris's face.

[-800 HP]

[13,445/14,245 HP]

But their was a catch. Kris's dagger was in the way of the punch and minimized the damage. The weapon was Efriet and it cut right through the Demon's gauntlet.

The Demon turned to ember.

While it was on fire, Kris swiftly stabbed the Knight in its head.

Kris took back Eden from the dead, ice Demon statue, and while he did so, this popped up.

He quickly equipped the gear.

The Dark Demons were not done yet. Their were five of them left. More will come since the five was just guarding the gate.

The five Dark Demon Knights began to enclose Kris in a circle. They were ready to get revenge for their fallen comrades.

"(Why?)" Kris pondered. "(Why are they so easy to predict?)"

"(Despite me being overall weaker than them and losing in intelligence and strength, they seem to move anr and act so simple.)" Kris said. "(I am always one of two steps ahead of them. I almost feel like a puppet master!)"
