How to be a demigod

The warrior healed instantly and miraculously.

Did a miracle just happen? Yes, it did.

The warrior didn't waste any time to ponder 'what' and 'how' as he had something far more important to do.

Clenching his fists he lunged at the demon. He delivered lethal and desperate punch on the confused demon's gut.

The demon fell back from the force of the attack, it didn't even had the time to get up or defend itself as the warrior was already upon it , lunching one after another. Each punch fueled by sheer fury and determination.

The demon's body was tough—incredibly tough even but not tough enough to with withstand the barrage of desperate but devastating attacks of the warrior. Slowly but surely, the demon's bones creaked and cracked and then broke.

The demon struggled desperately and barely managed to push the warrior back, finally getting some space to breath.

The warrior, pushed back by the demon summoned his katana back. The katana came flying on his hand and he held it firmly.

The demon, its body broken and battered by the warrior's relentless attacks stood up while clutching its broken face and ribs with its all six hands, its horn still glowing with otherworldly purple glow.

The warrior knew that horn was a bad news so without wasting a single second he moved, his speed almost reaching the boundary of teleportation.

He swung his katana aiming to cleave the demon's chest in half, the force enough to slice a small mountain in half.

The demon, somewhat recovered managed to block the attack but was still pushed back. His body was exhausted, weakened and broken wasn't enough to fight or kill the warrior anymore.

So, the demon tried to reach for its remaining horn to freeze time again.

This time not to toy with him but to kill him.

But before it even got the chance the warrior was already upon it swinging his katana with inhuman speed and shocking lethality.

The demon even in weakened state clearly saw the attack coming and raised its hands to block it but at the critical moment its body failed it, refusing to move they way it should.

The katana met its mark and cleanly sliced the demon's three right arms. The demon screamed and groaned in pain as it reeled back.

The warrior moved again, this time slicing other three arms and drawing purple blood again.

The demon desperate and furious tried to attack with its massive reptile leg but its balance failed it swayed back and ….at that very moment its head fell on the ground, beheaded by the deadly katana of the mighty warrior.

" thud"

Just like that the battle was over.

-----------+-----------+------------+-----------

As the demon's head fell on the ground, the warrior finally heaved a sigh of relief, relaxing his tense muscles as the adrenaline finally wore off.

After swaying a bit, the demon's headless body also fell on the ground, shaking the ground with its sheer weight as it crashed.

"THUD"

The warrior moved towards the beheaded head that had stopped rolling, its eyes filled with shock and despair. Purple blood soaked the ground and the wick aura in the air finally dissipated.

The warrior crouched down and picked the lifeless head by grabbing its remaining one horn hat had failed to lose its purple glow.

A smug and proud smile appeared on the warrior's face as he heard the voice he knew he would hear.

[ Congratulations you have slayed the weakest of the times]

As it grew up it eventually reached Rank four; the rank of a true demon and now like its father it could also control time but not without paying the price.

Drunk on power it roamed the world, finding wicked pleasure in others pain.

But, one day it met a warrior, toyed with the warrior and got killed by the warrior.

[Now you can advance to demigod rank.]

[Would you like to proceed?]

The warrior's smile grew wider as he threw the head and deactivated his 'Gigantification' skill.

His body started shrinking from 25 meters of height to 24, 23, 21… 10, and finally at the size of a normal human.

He glanced at his body for a while and said in a deep, manly voice.

"Proceed."

[Understood,] the system replied.

Immediately, a plant containing divine aura rose from the ground. The plant was white, so white that it looked as if it was made of light itself.

It had just two leaves, two vines, and a flower bud that was unimaginably beautiful and soft. The white flower bud was radiating a divine white aura; it was glowing brilliantly.

The flower bud's size was that of a minibus, its leaves even bigger.

The warrior knew what to do, heard from the previous demigod. He moved closer to the flower bud and touched it gently.

And he felt it.

The bud was so soft that his palm almost sank, but that wasn't what he was surprised to feel. It was the presence of divinity inside the bud, and now that divinity was going to be a part of him. He was going to step into the realm of divine, he was going to be a demigod.

Just after he touched the bud, one of the petals opened, revealing a door-like space, just enough for a man to enter through.

Without waiting any time, the warrior walked in and the petal closed behind him.

Ren, who was watching from at least a hundred meters away, finally had enough strength to get up and move. His eyes were no longer shining as the temporary enhancement wore off.

The woman (receptionist) beside him had already fainted and was lying unconscious on the ground.

Ren wanted to just let her rest, but he The needed/wanted information. So he had no choice but to wake her up.

She woke up feeling exhausted and weak. She felt like she just experienced something horrible - which she did.

The she remembered about the demon and the vice leader who was fighting it.

"NO! NO! NO! the demon" she shouted terrified.

But she didn't see any towering demon nor any warrior fighting it, all she saw was a young man with white hair and golden eyes gently grabbing her shoulder, preventing her from falling on ground.

" Who are you? " She asked.

Ren hadn't realized his disguise was already gone , so for once he didn't know what to say.

His mind raced thinking of excuses but in the end he just said.

" I will explain everything later."

" Forget that, don't you have something more important to ask?"

Her attention immediately changed as she remembered something more important.

"Wh- What happened? Where is the demon? What happened to the vice leader?" She said still terrified.

The word vice leader caught Ren's attention as he asked.

"Vice leader? You mean that strong dude Fighting the demon?"

The woman looked glared at Ren like he just asked a dumb question, which might have did.

"O-of course him, who else. Wh-what happened to him, what about the demon?"

Ren realized he was blocking her view, so he moved to the side and showed her the demon's lifeless but still terrifying corpse as well as the white flower that radiated pure divinity.

"Well, that big guy killed that demon, grabbed its head then threw it, became smaller and got eaten by that flower, that's all that happened" Ren explained half serious, half teasingly and half impatient.

The woman looked at the lifeless corpse of the demon and for one she looked amazed. Her body relaxed and she felt very very relieved.
