The Quest Is Simply To NTR All The Heroes

Chapter 127: Night Shades

"Show me what you got."

The demonic vulture, now armored in bone, lunged at him again. Kaisen dodged swiftly, narrowly avoiding its sharpened beak.

He could feel the increased power and speed in its movements, and it only fueled his excitement.

His mind raced as he analyzed the creature's new form.

The bone armor would be tougher to penetrate, and the vulture's attacks were more ferocious and unpredictable.

"Alright, let's dance."

It ran toward him, raising its silver claws, each as long as a short sword. Kaisen sidestepped, feeling a swoosh near his ear.

"Damn, that thing is fast."

The vulture swung its claw sideways, and this time Kaisen brought his fist down, blocking the claws.

Blood sprayed from his fist as it made contact.

"I can't block a weapon, even if I'm strong. I'll just dodge and attack."

The vulture raised its claw again, and Kaisen dodged repeatedly, looking for an opening in the bone-covered creature.

"There."

When the vulture brought its claws down, Kaisen side stepped and punched at the flesh above the claws, making the claw hit the wood and get stuck.

He used this chance, punching the vulture's face and sending it reeling back.

-25%

'Still same damage, huh?'

The vulture screeched and charged at him, its claws swinging wildly.

He danced around the attacks like a ballerina, easily dodging the incoming strikes.

When he saw an opening, he punched the vulture's face, stomach, and even its knee. The creature staggered forward, disoriented.

This was the moment for the death blow.

He walked toward its large head and pulled back his fist.

Not lazily, of course. He took a stance, channeled all his power into his arms, and delivered a powerful punch to its head.

The eyes of the demon, full of malice and hatred, watched him closely even in its final moments.

"Die."

Bam!

The bones cracked as his arm plunged into the creature's head with a sickening crunch.

His fist lodged deep inside, blood gushing out and painting the bone red.

'Eww... what the fuck!'

He felt the soft goo of brain matter, blood, tissues, and who knows what else.

Retracting his hand, now an ugly mess of blood and gore, he scrunched his face in pure disgust.

But then he noticed the vulture's once-crimson eyes were now dull.

A quick check of its health bar showed it was at zero.

What did that mean? It meant this thing was dead.

To his knowledge, there was no third phase to a boss.

Even if there was, he felt ready for it.

'This junior brother is a lot stronger than this birdie.'

Just as he thought that, the system message appeared.

[Congratulations! Demonic Vulture of Vhalla, the Night Bloom defeated.]

[Received 500 exp]

[Received: Loathsome claws]

[Description: These claws, carved from the demonic vulture, embody its profound resentment for the world. Their potency rises with the user's rising anger.]

'Eww...brother, what is this?'

In his hand, two sharp and long silver claws manifested. They looked just like the ones on the vulture's legs.

As a makeshift hilt, some old black cloth was lazily tied around, as if someone had hastily fashioned the claws into a weapon.

It was ugly as heck. Really, really ugly. Even uglier than Alwyn himself.

"Damn...well, I suppose it's better than nothing..."

He swung the claws and performed a quick move set.

As a game character, he knew how to use a weapon, albeit at a basic level.

He was proficient with swords, spears, bows, and daggers.

Claws weren't on that list, but the game had provided the knowledge, so he knew how to use them, at least.

As he swung the claws, another message popped up in front of him.

[Somewhere an invisible gate has opened.]

?!

'...Oh? The gates to Nightshades village? That must be it.'

He let out a deep sigh.

He was actually glad the ordeal was finally coming to an end.

This arc had gone on too long and needed to be put to rest.

Clank~ Clank~ Creak~

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a heavy gate opening from somewhere. He looked around but saw nothing.

It seemed it was his job to find where this gate was.

Other players might have been very angry about having to find a hidden gate somewhere in the forest, but not him.

He had something those players didn't have at all.

A map.

He quickly opened his mind map and saw an arc suddenly forming just a few hundred meters away from his position.

"That's the gate."

He muttered, a grin spreading across his lips.

"I should call the others too. Don't want them to be out of my vision."

He decided to call Llyod and Maximus. He couldn't leave them here, not knowing what awaited inside that gate.

It was better to have the duo with him rather than worry about them.

He was about to turn around when he suddenly felt something in his heart—a feeling, like someone was watching him.

Someone or something. It was the same feeling he always got in the forest.

The same feeling he had that day when he was sure he saw red eyes watching him while he was fucking Alice on top of Sable.

From the first day to this day.

'They are here.'

Everything went very silent. Eerily silent.

He looked around. There was nothing in plain sight, but suddenly and slowly, something shifted in the air.

The clouds beneath him, which he had thought were just clouds, began to retreat.

They cleared away, revealing the lush greenery of leaves and the brown of the woods.

He could now see the ground clearly.

As the clouds retreated, they were revealed.

One by one, until there were more than he could count.

Surrounding him in a circle were figures like humans, completely shrouded in blackness except for their eyes.

Eyes the color of blood, watching him eerily without any emotion, without any movements or even a twitch or a sway of their bodies.

Then he got a system message that confirmed his doubts,

[Night Shades are watching you]
