The Demon Lords Adviser - Chapter 8 Hardest Battle Yet First Half

After looting all of the corpses I ended up with approximately a weeks worth of food and water.

Another thing worth noting is that I got the skill Cold resistance from the adventurer with the warhammer.

I check out my new sword properly now and find that it is made out of a bone of some kind, it seems that it is stronger than my old sword at least.

I can’t carry everything they have with me so I only took the sword,money,food,water and 1 of the rogue’s daggers with me leaving everything else.

After exiting back to the main hall I descend down to the tenth level without fighting much of anything as there were too many people occupying the monsters, that is now different as this level is relatively barren of people, I will have to start clearing the way myself now.

Another difference I read about is that from the tenth level onward the dungeon becomes like a maze that diverges into multiple paths downwards.

I randomly pick a corridor that splits off from the main hall and start walking, within 3 minutes I am staring down a giant blue lizard.

I draw my sword and coat it in venom then I get into the longpoint guard, I want to see how this lizard attacks in case I run into another one.

The lizard opens it’s mouth and a surge of green smoke shoots at me, it is probably poisonous judging by the color, I hold my breath and run backwards at full speed while excreting poison from all over my body hoping that it will counteract the lizards breath.

Something I did worked because I didn’t get poisoned, it might even be my venomous blood which protected me, anyway now that I have evaded it’s poison breath I have an Idea I hold my sword in my right hand then excrete venom from my left palm while also activating [Flame Body] on my left palm which evaporates my venom turning it into a venomous gas that is left hanging around my body.

I now run up to the lizard and cut into it’s side with Magic edge, then my venomous gas gets into the wound and poisoned the lizard.

After waiting 10 seconds the lizard died and I leveled up to level 16, it turns out this lizard gives a lot of EXP.

I get the skill poison breath, which I figure out can be fired from any point on my body.

Now I continue going deeper down for a day, I haven’t slept at all because I would probably die if I did.

I have stopped counting what level I am on but it must be at least thirty, I have also just reached level 46 my stats and skills are now as follows

Name – Sorun

Level – 46

STR – 53 AGI – 56 END – 50 DEX – 55 MAG – 57

Skills – [Ultimate Evolution],[Flame Body],[Shapeshifter],Swordsmanship,Iron stomach,Underwater breathing,Night vision,Pain nullification,Harden,Magic edge,Venomous blood,Iron wall,Elemental resistance,Poison breath,Poison immunity,Mental resistance,Lightning magic,Fire magic,Ice magic.

My skills repertoire hasn’t expanded much as I have been fighting the same enemy’s often and they don’t have anything new to give me, but something to note is that when an enemy has nothing new to give me the skills I previously stole become easier to use.

Another thing to note is that I got a bunch of resistances but they eventually combined into elemental resistance.

I can also use proper magic which although useful I still can’t use it to it’s full potential as I don’t have any spells, the most I can do is let an element go at the opponent and hope for the best, but even with all of that I am confident in beating any A class and some of the weaker S class individuals in a fight now.

While still being excited with the thought of how strong I am within a day I keep exploring. all this while I have found nothing but monsters no loot or people.

I search around and keep exploring for another hour before finally fining something that is not a monster, it’s people!

They are a group of 3 and they have one slender man person with a bow, one burly guy with a giant greatsword and one woman with a staff.

I’d guess they are at the A rank or else they would not be able to make it here.

The question now is what do I do? Should I kill them? Should I try to converse? Or should I avoid them?

I decide to kill 2 and interrogate the remaining 1, they are currently walking down a corridor that is perpendicular to the one I am in.

I draw my weapon and wait for them to be right next to me, when they are just walking by me I swing my sword with Magic edge at the bowman and cut his arm off with a surprise attack then use Fire and Lightning magic at the same time to kill the bowman.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRGH”

The man with a greatsword has cut into my back before I realize it! I immediately use [Shapeshifter] to move my internal organs away from his blades path while using Harden on the part that he is cutting and using poison breath from the wound at full power this also sends my venomous blood flying at the man!

The man retreats bout 2 meters back and gets ready to attack again while the mage starts readying her spell I can also see the archer I killed fade away with the real archer is readying his bow from down the corridor, I use [Shapeshifter] to close my wound while thinking I may have bitten off more than I can chew this time.

I prepare for the hardest battle I have had yet!
