SHING

I swung my sword down as soon as I saw the silhouette of something as tall as a small child.

"Finally revealed yourself, huh?" I say as I tried to catch my breath.

Taking a few more steps backward, I felt water touch my back, signaling I couldn't go any farther.

I tightly gripped my sword in my hand as I saw something enter the slight amount of light that radiated from the wall of water behind me.

"Sulez Commander," I mutter with a drop of sweat running down the back of my neck.

Just like the normal Sulez, it has a gray body with brown bumps and dark black eyes. But, there are a few new things added to this monstrosity.

Black spines are protruding from its back, elbows, and knees, making it look like a vicious porcupine-like thing that savagely ran at you if given a chance.

Suddenly, just like the encyclopedia's description said, the Sulez Commander dashed at me with full speed, but I didn't realize it would be so fast that I could barely see it.

Ting

The sound of the Sulez Commanders' elbow spine colliding with my sword rang through the air, but my breathing began to grow heavier and heavier after realizing I blocked its attack by just pure luck.

"My eyes… I brought some of my good vision in my past life to this life… but without enhancing my eyes through the heart stat, I won't be able to keep up," I mutter before letting go of my sword and dashing in.

The Sulez Commander reacted to me by taking a lower position before jumping up and directing both of its spines on its knees towards me.

"[Glacier Magic]... [Empower]... [Haste]," I mutter.

I was still at an amateur level, so all I could do was create a ball of ice before creating veins of ice that sprouted from the ball.

Each vein spread out to all sides to try and corner the commander, but the commander instantly reacted by throwing 2 stone daggers that were strong enough to destroy 2 of the 8 veins of ice.

tsk

The commander then took out another pair of daggers from a leather pouch behind him before throwing them at my veins of ice again, bringing the number down to 4.

Cackling to itself the entire way through, it thought that it had countered me perfectly, but I wasn't just sitting around while the veins of ice tried to take the commander down.

Gripping the handle of my sword tightly, I then threw a new ball of ice up in the air and made it explode into thousands of shrapnel which served as cover for me to get in close and swing downwards with my blade.

The commander just barely stepped out of the way before retreating as it didn't want me to build up momentum with my sword.

It still hasn't used it…

Each monster has different skills unique to them, such as the normal Sulez having a skill called [Echolocation], which essentially lets their laughs allow them to detect where enemies are.

This is their entire backbone as they'd be dead without it... And this is due to them being completely blind.

This is also a monster-locked skill so no humanoid being can obtain this skill without [Dark Magic] or [Summon Ritual: Demonic Necromancer].

The first one basically lets you do anything that goes against the laws of nature/ the world, while the second one lets you summon a necromancer which lets you incorporate dead monsters into your own body… pretty creepy if I'd have to say so myself.

The Sulez Commander, on the other hand, has all his senses intact while having the unique skill, [Bloody Berserker], which is a skill most commander-type monsters have.

Hmmmmm… I'm pretty sure there was a skill that martial artists use that was similar to this… Demonic Berserker? Berserk? I don't know… I need to focus on this fight.

After taking in a deep breath, I raised my sword above my head and dashed forward.

I could sense the Sulez Commander was charging right in front of me, so I immediately took a swing while creating another iceball.

As I swung my sword down, I suddenly felt it come to an abrupt stop, causing a drop of sweat to run down the back of my neck.

"[Glacier Magic]," I mutter while throwing the ball of ice up in the air and then gripping my sword's handle with two hands.

Whips of ice were created that branched from the ball, and it served as a slight annoyance for the Sulez Commander, who put all his attention on me.

After pulling my sword up and then swinging it back down, I felt my sword slide to the left, throwing me off balance.

It just... redirected my sword which means that the earlier stop was this thing blocking my sword...

tsk

I spread myself across the floor, just barely dodging a metal dagger which I had just barely noticed the glint of.

And as soon as I saw the Sulez Commander turn its head towards me to try and bite me with its massive razor-sharp teeth, I focused all my attention on the ball of ice behind it and created 2 veins of ice that stabbed directly into the back of the Sulez Commander.

tsk

Missed…

"Phew, where'd you get those things, and… it seems my control over [Glacier Magic] sucks as much as always," I mutter before taking a few more steps back and assessing the situation.

The other Sulez seem to have backed off, either because their headcount is low or the commander wanted to face me himself… so I can take advantage of this…

I should also learn a light creation skill after this, as this place is so dark that if it weren't for me bringing some of my senses from my past life to this life, I would've already got my head lobbed off.

SWOOSH

Urk-

Just barely, I dodged a thrown metal dagger that the Sulez Commander used to close in on me, but before I made a move, I shifted my eyes to my status to try and grasp what I could do right now.

[HP: 21/25  MP: 4/25  SP: 2/10]

Pretty much full health, but that won't last long if I don't take care of this guy, so…

I took a deep stance while raising both of my arms, and when the commander got too close with a metal dagger in their hand, I grabbed both of its wrists, sat down on the ground, placed my foot against its chest, and then threw it over me.

SHING

"FUCK!" I shout after feeling the Sulez Commander's metal dagger stab into my left arm.

This one of a bitch was upside down… AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AIR! There's no way this guy is a normal monster...

I didn't have time to whine anymore, so I dashed over to my sword while keeping the dagger in my arm; otherwise, excessive blood loss would kill me.

Using my entire body weight, I dragged my sword out of the ground and swung it over my head before slamming it down in front of me.

A small crater was created with rocks being sent flying into the air, which I used as cover to let go of my sword, dash in, ball my fists, and then slam them into the Commander, who shielded his eyes from the rocky shards.

The commander stumbled back a bit before it screamed out in pain as soon as it felt its broken nose.

Tears welt up in its eyes, and the last thing that it saw before being sliced in half with my massive sword was my glowing purple eyes.

"HUFF HUFF HUFF… Lucky… I managed to kill it before it used its skill… Now, wheres that All Healing Potion," I mutter before tossing my sword to the side and stumbling to the wall of water.

I scavenged around while also staying aware of my surroundings as I didn't know where the other Sulez went.

[You have slain: 31 Sulez]

[You have slain: 1 Sulez Deviant]

[36 XP Gained]

[You have leveled up]

[You have leveled up]

"Huh? That was a deviant... HAHAHAHA! That makes sense! No wonder that thing was so good at fighting!" I laugh to myself after reading the notifications in front of me.

Suddenly, the ground below me shook.

"Why have you come here?" I hear a loud and low voice boom through the room.

The crackling and popping of what seemed to be fire appeared, and it was quickly followed by heavy footsteps that seemed to shake the ground below me.

In the distance, I saw torches sprouting from a corridor with small baby-sized monsters holding them. And when all those were finished exiting the corridor, even taller ones had appeared with spines protruding from their back, knees, elbows… and head?

"That really was a deviant," I mutter after seeing the real Sulez Commanders in front of me.

And finally, a massive figure 5 times the size of me, with a fat belly and spines protruding from its back, knees, elbows, feet, hands, and head, walked out of the corridor and stood behind what seemed to be cannon fodder when compared to the massive guy in front of me.

Its ashy gray skin and dark red pupils gave it the sense that a demon had descended before me, causing my back to be coated with sweat.

"I will ask you one more time, why have you come here, boy?" The tall monster in front of me asks.
