Chapter 343 341- Demon Mode
[….]Zach stood in the middle of the empty floor after defeating the rip-off version of soul eater.
Since it wasn’t the original soul eater and only its replica with higher level and stats, it didn’t leave a core, unlike the real soul eater.
The gods had designed the dungeon of the last realm of the first realm in a way to make it impossible for a player to clear it and challenge the realm boss. But that was only applicable to the other players, not for Zach.
The blessings Zach had received were made to break the game and surpass the stats binding his true strength. However, there was a limit to how long he could use the blessing and stay in a blessed form.
When he used Phoenix’s blessing, his body part went numb, and he couldn’t even taste the food. The powers Zach received from the blessings had side effects on his body.
Different blessings had different side effects, and currently, the effects of using the Demon King’s blessings were showing off.
[You have cleared the floor! Proceed through the portal to enter the next floor or retreat!]
[….]
Cerberus, who had been watching everything from the shadows, finally gathered enough courage to come out and hesitantly approached Zach.
He stopped a few meters away from Zach and reluctantly uttered in a low voice: [My liege, the floor has been cleared.]
”…”
Cerberus whined after getting no response from Zach. He waited for a reaction, but the silence made him anxious.
[My liege?]
Suddenly, Zach jerked and tilted his head towards Cerberus in an erratic manner and glared at Cerberus with a vicious smile on his face.
[…] Cerberus backed a few steps while staring at Zach. He wanted to find a shadow to hide into, and there was only one spot— the one he was hiding in before.
He gradually went near the big rock, but Zach, who had been staring malevolently at him, suddenly dashed at him at inhumane speed.
Cerberus turned around, rushed to the rock, and fortunately managed to hide in the shadow.
Zach still chased after him and stopped in front of the big rock with a lifeless expression on his face.
Even while hiding in the shadow, Cerberus couldn’t stop quivering in fear.
Zach raised his hand and touched the rock as though he was confused. He peeked on the other side of the rock, thinking Cerberus had hidden behind it, but of course, he wasn’t.
After that, he circled around the rock a couple of times to look for Cerberus, but a few seconds later, the upper part of his body drooped to the ground only to stand still with the support of his spine.
CRACK~CRACK~!
The cracking sound was so loud that it echoed in the empty floor, and it was coming from none other than Zach.
The small horns from his forehead began to grow, and the marks started spreading even more. His claws became sharper, and his tail looked more potent than before. Not only that, but this time, his teeth turned into fangs.
His demon form was still in progress, and he was slowly becoming a demon. As the time passed, he lost all his senses and memories, and he became a mindless demon, no different from a wild monster.
Cerberus couldn’t bear to watch that. He didn’t want to see his master turned into a monster in front of his eyes where he was hiding and saving his own skin.
He came out of a shadow and attacked Zach, or he could have if Zach hadn’t found him before Cerberus could even do anything.
Cerberus was releasing all kinds of strong emotions from the shadow, and Zach sensed it. He placed his hand on the ground and pulled Cerberus out of the shadow with one hand.
He tossed him in the air and shattered the big rock into dust so Cerberus couldn’t hide again.
Cerberus landed on his feet in front of Zach and stood on his ground. He had finally decided to fight head-on with Zach.
[‘If I can’t stop you, I will stop you by killing you. That was your wish, my liege, and your words are my orders.’]
Cerberus changed into his mighty enormous three-headed monster form and roared at Zach.
[It is time for round two, my liege!]
He charged at Zach without wasting a single second while constantly firing concentrated fire from his dragon’s mouth. He knew that he would only get one chance at this, and the time, of course, was limited. He was well aware that if Zach turned into a full demon, he would be undefeatable, so he had to take down Zach before that occurred.
Cerberus flapped his wings and jumped in the air to land on Zach from the top, but Zach effortlessly stopped him and swung his fist to punch him. But Cerberus turned around and whipped his tail at Zach, sending him flying to the other side of the floor.
[You can’t use the same technique to defeat me again, my liege. I have learned from my mistakes. Not to mention, your sane version is much more scarier than this one. Currently, you have the raw power to destroy everything but no brains to do it correctly.]
Zach was slammed onto the wall and buried under the debris fallen from it. But Cerberus prepared for his next move while there was still time.
BANG! BOOM!
The debris flew into the air with a loud banging noise before falling to the ground a few meters away. Zach stood up on his legs in a strange manner and gnashed his teeth with his lips in between.
His lips were minced between his teeth as he continued gnashing, and his chin was smeared red with blood. He jerked his body left and right while walking his steps forward but suddenly stopped and his incomplete demon wings from his back began to change their shape.
Zach had reached the final stage of the demonification.
