Reborn As An Evolving Monster

Chapter 56 A Giant?

?From Fire Ants to Inferior Lava Drakes.

Burning Pythons to Inferior Wyrms.

Mark and his Underlings went through the Floor while defeating all the Monsters on their way.

The ecosystem was so that all the Monsters were resistant to fire and heat.

Of course, they could all use Fire Magic to varying degrees.

The area Mark and his Underlings arrived at, was no longer surrounded by lava.

And in front of Mark, stood the final enemy that was guarding the Boss Room.

[Lower Demonic Giant: [A-] Ranked Monster.]

The Monster's body was dark as night, unlike the Lower Demons' whose bodies were red.

It was also several times bigger.

A gigantic ax was between its hands.

The weapon looked like it was made using molten lava.

The Lower Demonic Giant's dark body looked like it was burning.

On the center of its body, a ring of fire glowed ever so slightly.

'A demon straight from hell. And the first Monster I encounter whose Rank is higher than [B+]...' Mark thought, while keeping a large distance between him and the enemy.

"It hasn't noticed us yet, my Lord." Levi commented.

Mark used a certain Magic Skill.

The next second, a black spear pierced through the air and found its way into the Lower Demonic Giant's stomach.

The Monster looked down before roaring loudly.

It raised its weapon.

A series of messages appeared in front of Mark.

[The Fire that burns inside the Lower Demonic Giant is resisting the Poison.]

[The Demonic Nature of the Lower Demonic Giant is resisting the Corruption.]

'What...? Don't tell me-'

BOOM-

A huge explosion launched Mark away.

"My Lord?!" Levi shouted, surprised that his Master was hit.

Only Mark had not seen the Colossal Fire Bomb coming, as he was too distracted by the messages in front of him.

BAM-

'Fuck...' Mark thought.

His body had hit the wall behind him with such strength that he was embedded into it.

Of course, he was strong enough to easily pull himself out.

Only superficial grazes covered Mark's body, thanks to his "Fire Resistance" Passive Skill.

Seeing that his Master was fine, Levi immediately ran towards the enemy.

The Lower Demonic Giant swiftly raised its weapon into the air.

The speed of its movements was unexpected.

The Lower Demonic Giant swung its weapon with great force towards Levi, aiming to cut the latter in two.

Its speed was unexpected, but it wasn't anything Levi couldn't deal with.

He dodged and positioned himself behind the Lower Demonic Giant.

With a closed fist covered in lightning, Levi used all his strength to hit the enemy's ankle.

He was stunned.

So much so that he did not notice the Monster about to kick him away.

But before it could happen, Mark landed on its head and used his claws to pierce through its eye.

'Always go for the eyes!' Mark thought. as he pulled his hand out of the Monster's eye.

The Lower Demonic Giant screamed in pain and brought its hands to its face, letting go of its weapon.

'Fall back!' Mark ordered.

Both Levi and Mark jumped away from the Monster.

"Its body is too hard." Levi said.

His fist was slightly bleeding.

'If even you couldn't damage its body then there isn't much I would be able to do...'

The two studied the Monster in front of them, as it lowered its body to grab its weapon.

'Levi's Strength Stat is a bit higher than mine. Yet, he couldn't make a dent...' Mark thought as he raised an arm to his side.

A black spear appeared.

He held it tightly.

'I should focus less on hitting with strength, and more on where I'm hitting...' Levi thought.

The next second, the Lower Demonic Giant took a fighting stance and the two sprinted towards their enemy.

Just as they arrived in front of it, they positioned themselves on either side of the Monster.

Mark on the enemy's right side and Levi on its left.

The Lower Demonic Giant decided to focus on Levi.

It swept its giant ax towards Levi, and Mark took the opportunity to close the distance and attack.

'I'm not used to fighting with a weapon, but...!'

Using his Dark Corrupting Spear, two diagonal strikes drew a cross on the back of the enemy's leg.

'Huh. So its dark and impenetrable body is actually a burnt layer of skin. But it's so hard that it acts like armor.'

Without stopping its weapon's momentum, the Lower Demonic Giant drew a full circle around itself, successfully making Mark jump away.

Its focus was now on Mark, who could damage the outside layer of its body.

The Monster, enraged, roared loudly as it took heavy steps towards Mark.

The blazing circle on its chest shined brighter than before.

A ball of raging fire enveloped the Lower Demonic Giant's fist.

Mark spread his wings and flew up, as a torrent of Fire Balls were thrown at him.

To keep the enemy's attention on himself Mark shot Fire Balls of his own.

A fog of black smoke covered the Lower Demonic Giant's head.

'The Lord can break through its tough skin, which means...' Levi thought as he arrived in front of the Monster's right leg.

The same leg that Mark had already attacked.

Lightning permeated through his open palm.

In front of him, was a leg black as night.

With the exception of two diagonal lines, through which red tender skin peeked through.

Levi's sharp claws opened the way for his entire palm to enter and pierce the colossal foe's muscles.

The lightning sparks emanating from his palm burnt those tender muscles.

Knowing that the Monster was about to counterattack, Levi quickly jumped up with all his strength.

Sure enough, the giant's ax landed right where he had been standing a second earlier.

Levi had jumped with such strength that his arms were embedded in the ceiling above.

The Lower Demonic Giant was now looking at its enemies from below.

It threw its ax towards Mark, before bringing both its hands together.

The joined hands shined brightly.

They were slammed down on the ground.

Even though Mark was flying, he could notice the shaking of the ground below.

The next instant, cracks appeared all over the floor.

At random places, pillars of molten lava and fire exited the ground with great force.

The pillars were high and could almost reach the ceiling.

Despite his best effort at dodging the random explosions of lava and fire, part of Mark's right leg was burnt.

Levi, on the other hand, was safe, as he stood above the Lower Demonic Giant.

From a safe distance, three Underlings watched the fight unfold.

One of them stood up.

A bright light covered its body.

The Underling grew in size multiple times.

The next second, a lioness' roar resonated through the Second Floor.
