Chapter 34 – Power Up in Secret, Then a Real Fight
Taking the First Bite – A Gamble for Power
The dungeon was bathed in blinding white light.
The demon let out a low growl, stumbling slightly.
This was my chance.
Without wasting a second, I rushed behind it, moving like a shadow.
The second I got close—
I sank my teeth into its back.
The moment I bit down—
✔ Raw power surged through my veins.
✔ My muscles tensed, my body adapting instantly.
✔ A rush of new instincts flooded my mind.
Then—
A notification appeared.

The Demon Screams – Time to Retreat
The demon let out a bloodcurdling roar, its body trembling from the sudden drain.
F*ck. Time to move.
I immediately jumped back, vanishing into the shadows again.
The light from Freya's spell started fading.
Students began regaining their sight.
And just like that—I was exactly where I had started.
But now?
I was a hell of a lot stronger.

The Real Fight Begins
The demon glared at Seria, but something had changed.
It was weaker.
It didn't know why—but it could feel it.
Still, it bared its fangs, flexing its claws.
"Fine. I'll kill you all anyway."
Seria gritted her teeth and readied her sword.
But this time—
I stepped forward.
She glanced at me. "What are you—"
I smirked. "Relax. I got this."
The demon's red eyes locked onto me.
It sneered. "You think you can fight me?"
I cracked my knuckles. "I don't just think,I know.Now I'm about to kick yo Ass!!"

Clash of Strength – A True Battle Begins
The demon lunged first, claws aimed at my throat.
I dodged—barely.
But this time, I wasn't just dodging.
I was reading its movements.
✔ I could sense the flow of its attacks.
✔ My body reacted instantly, without hesitation.
✔ Every dodge felt smoother, faster, more precise.
Damn. These new skills were kicking in fast.

Trading Blows – A Fight of Equals
The demon swung its massive arm—I blocked with my sword, sparks flying.
Its strength was insane.
But—mine was catching up.
I clenched my fist, feeling the power pulsing inside me.
Then I punched the demon square in the jaw.
The impact sent shockwaves through the dungeon.
The demon staggered.
Its eyes widened in shock.
It wasn't expecting me to be this strong.
Neither was I.
I grinned. "What's wrong? Thought this would be easy?"
The demon snarled—and attacked again.
This time, we traded blows.
✔ Claw met blade.
✔ Fist met flesh.
✔ Every hit shook the entire cavern.
The students watched, stunned into silence.
Because now—
This wasn't Seria vs. a demon.
This was a real f*cking fight.

Freya(The nerd) and the Others – Watching in Shock
Freya stood frozen, clutching her book.
The random guy—Arthur, I think his name was—stared in disbelief.
"H-He's keeping up with that thing…?"
Freya's hands trembled.
She had seen me fight before.
But this?
This wasn't just skill.
This was monstrous.
"L-Leon… what are you…?" she whispered.
I heard it.
But I ignored it.
Because right now—the only thing that mattered was winning.

The Demon's Final Stand
The demon let out a furious roar.
Its body swelled with dark energy.
It was going all out.
Fine.
So would I.
I felt the Berserk skill bubbling inside me.
I usually held it back—but this time?
I let it out.

Final Thought – One Last Attack
My vision sharpened.
The world slowed.
And then—
I moved.
The demon rushed forward.
I charged straight at it.
One final clash.
Winner takes all.
