Things have become very strange. First, I died, and then I found myself in another world. Now, I'm meeting an old dragon who tells me that there are some cursed people who want to take something that belongs to me. He doesn't know that anyone who even thinks about doing that will face a fate worse than death.
A few months before I died, my second assistant tried to kill me and take everything for himself to become the leader. I knew about it and did nothing. He was going to poison my food, and I knew the food was poisoned.
So, the night before, I kidnapped his wife and their young son. I made my assistant stand at the door and watch as I brought the child out of the room and sat him on my lap. My assistant was shocked at what was happening.
"W...why... is he here?"
"Nothing, I'm just going to make him eat instead of me."
I placed my hand on a piece of poisoned meat and brought it close to the child's mouth. My assistant came and knelt on the ground, begging, "Please, have mercy on my son."
My followers grabbed him, tied him to a chair, and put tape over his mouth. The child was crying.
"Don't be afraid, little one, we're just playing with your father."
My assistant's tears filled his eyes, and he was screaming silently. I knew that feeling; I used to do the same when I was tortured and abused as a child. I put the piece of meat in the child's mouth. After he finished eating, I placed him on the bed and whispered in my assistant's ear, "The show isn't over yet."
I gave orders to some of my followers. They went to my private room and brought a beautiful blonde woman. I looked at him and found him in shock. This idiot, I killed his son; why wouldn't I kill his wife?
But I didn't kill her quickly. I assaulted her in front of him first and then killed her. I am a merciful man. I took a gun from my pocket, placed it on the table, and ordered my followers to release this foolish assistant. I closed the door and left. When I reached the stairs, I heard the gunshot. The gun had only one bullet, so he killed himself.
This is the punishment for anyone who tries to take something from me. A punishment worse than death.
That's why I was smiling as I left the cave. When I saw the sunlight, I smiled even more. The sun is just like me. Anyone who looks at it too long will hurt their eyes. And so will I—if anyone looks at me too much, I'll take their eyes out.
But what is the Ring of Chaos? What is the Pearl of Destiny? Who is the King of Kings? Who is looking for these treasures? I don't understand anything.
But I will think about the present. I will get out of this cursed prison first and then see what I will do. I am now at my father's level, the magician. He will be surprised by my power when I get out.
I don't know how my mother is doing. I hope she's well and not worrying too much about me. I need to get out of here as soon as possible.
That's why I ordered all my beasts to look for a black lion in that cursed forest. I was sitting on the ground trying to gather some energy to raise my level. While doing that, one of the tigers sent me a message that it had found the black lion.
I was curious to see what this lion looked like. I whispered, "Transfer consciousness," and transferred my consciousness to the tiger. I found myself hiding somewhere, and the lion was sitting at a distance, like a king of the jungle. And indeed, he was the king of the jungle. He was huge, his entire body black like a wolf's, but thicker and darker. He was three times the size of a normal lion and at the farthest end of that cursed forest.
He looked terrifying. I felt that his claws, like my hands, had sent many souls to hell. I wanted him. I wanted him.
I quickly returned to my real body and started heading to the lion's location quickly. I arrived there after some time. I didn't wait another minute.
Status: Name: Black Lion Level: 45 Ability: Roar Waves
My corpses are also at the same level. So, I summoned my corpses and positioned them around the area to prevent any uninvited guests from reaching the party venue. I wanted it to be just me and him, with no one interfering. Every time I fought a strong beast, I became a stronger beast myself.
"Warrior's Cry."
I grabbed my sword and headed quickly toward the lion. But before I did that, I whispered, "Earth Serpent," "Fire Meteors," and "Earth Thorns."
A tree branch shaped like a serpent emerged and tied the lion's leg. This serpent was draining a lot of energy from him. So, when the meteors fell from the sky, he couldn't avoid them all, and many hit him. The thorns burst from the ground with force. He tried to avoid them all but couldn't; many struck him.
His body was covered in blood.
"Shadow Steps."
I reached in front of him with a smile on my face. I think he was shocked. But he opened his cursed mouth and unleashed a roar wave. My body was pushed back at once. That attack was strong, and I felt my heart was about to leap out of my body. But if I fell to the ground, I would die. So, I endured the blow with all the kai I had.
I quickly took an elixir from my range and drank it all. I think our blood would form a small lake beneath our feet.
I transformed into an eagle and rose above the lion. His attacks were quickly rising toward me, so I quickly transformed back into an orc and took out a large axe from my range. I descended upon the lion from above and whispered, "Death Quake."
When I transform into a beast, I can take all its abilities, but in return, I can only use one of my own abilities. When I landed that blow, he was in shock, so I severed one of his limbs. I didn't stop. I quickly reverted to my original form, grabbed Athena's sword, and whispered, "Invisible Sword."
I was far from the lion, but many wounds appeared on that cursed beast's body. The invisible sword skill allows me to attack the beast without it seeing my sword, so it cannot block it.
The lion roared again, so I used an illusion and suddenly appeared behind him. His body was full of wounds and exhausted. So, I quickly used "Cutting Strike."
I have greatly enhanced this skill. I found his neck in front of my feet at that moment. I felt relieved.
