I feel great, my body is completely rejuvenated while my mana has reached a completely new level.

I didn’t even know I had so little of my power, I never really focused on looking at the status, so I had no idea I only had 2% of my power released for use.

But now I have 25% of the power released for use, which is several times the amount I could use before.

Humans cannot fight against the Demon King, it is simply impossible, so they need heroes, and now I understand perfectly, this power I feel through my body makes me feel like everything is beneath my feet. free𝑤ebnovel.com

The human’s body in front of me trembles with fear, they perfectly realize what has happened, the one who was once a threat now seems like a mere insect.

I even feel stronger than Elena, before I noticed I was weaker in status, but now I feel like I’ve completely surpassed her.

More of that black goo drips from my body, oozing across the floor covered in darkness.

"..." The swordsman looks at me with obvious fear in their eyes, my passives that were not strong enough to be very intimidating before now give me a disturbing presence.

The passive [Aura of Despair] generates a presence that is easily perceptible, causing discomfort that combines with the fear.

"You should have killed me with that attack," I say to them, making it clear that they are now a mere ant ready to be crushed under my feet.

Among the humans I know, I think only Akari and Mikael are stronger than me, besides those two, no human I’ve met comes close to having as much power as I do now.

Of course, the world is vast, so there must be many humans who can fight me in my current state, like the Rank-S adventurers from the guild, for example.

But this is only for now, if with just 25% of the power I am so strong, when I have the rest of my power, there will be no human capable of equaling me in any way.

"Why all this human fear? You should be happy, I achieved this thanks to your feat of almost killing me." The maturation I acquired after the near-death experience is what allowed me to reach this level.

Finally freeing myself from the chains called morality and escaping the prison I built to try to maintain a remnant of humanity.

"You must die here, you monster, something like you should not continue to live, and I will kill you even if I have to die for it," they speak while entering a new fighting stance since they no longer have a sword.

"Still going to try? Brave of you," within the [Abyss Reflection], they become weaker, their chances of defeating me are nonexistent.

"[Sacrificial Charge]" They use an ability while I notice how their vitality is consumed in the process.

"I’m not an Rank-A for no reason," they say, trying to set aside the fear, after all, a warrior must not hesitate in combat.

"Then come, show me how long you can last... but let’s play a game, for every attack you give, I’ll tear off a piece of you, so think carefully," I say in a playful yet serious tone.

I’m going to devour them while they’re still alive, I’ll show them how I can dismantle their body like a mere toy.

They start circling around me, they are extremely fast compared to the time they hit me in the back, if they had used this ability before, they could have finished me off.

But since it consumes their vitality, it makes sense they didn’t use it yet, as it wasn’t necessary. I notice that this ability also consumes the vitality of things around it, that must be the reason they don’t use it in a group.

In this place, which is the purest darkness, only my body and their body are visible, there is nowhere to flee or hide.

If it weren’t for this ability of theirs, they would be in serious trouble for being here.

’The little girl is much stronger, so that mage is done for.’ All my powers have been strengthened, including all my shadows, all of them have had a significant increase in power.

I decide to focus on the swordsman, I will humiliate them.

As soon as the swordsman advances towards my back, I dodge their blow with extreme ease.

"AAARRHHHH!" They scream in pain, unable to hold back the sounds of agony, their arm was torn off the moment they approached, my tail moved even faster than them.

I hold the severed arm and start devouring it as the swordsman gets up.

"[Arcane Blast]" They decide to switch to magic.

"Ridiculous, a swordsman thinking they can be equal to a mage," I simply slap the attack, easily dispersing the blue sphere. I am basically a perfect killing machine.

That’s why I can balance both magical combat and hand-to-hand combat, but most can’t do that, only a few can balance magic and martial arts.

So it’s ridiculous for them to try to use magic against me when they’re bad at it.

And as I said myself, for every attack, they lose something. In an instant, I’m in front of them, I make a shallow cut on their throat with my nails, not enough to kill, just to precisely destroy their vocal cords.

They scream in pain, a strange scream due to the lack of vocal cords.

I lick the blood-stained fingers.

"I expected more from a swordsman, let’s do something more entertaining, I’m very hungry and my patience has limits," They try to kick me, and as I had said and made clear what I would do with each of their attacks, I tear off their leg and start devouring, the clothes and armor being shredded by my teeth.

They are now crying as they crawl on the ground.

"Tsk, you’re a disgrace, will you crawl like a worm now? I thought you were someone more interesting," I know well that Mikael would fight even if dismembered.

Mikael is the type who is fanatical about fights and has a look of someone who doesn’t fear death at all, but this swordsman, although courageous, still fears death.

I tear off their other leg and devour it in front of them, making it clear that they are now just my meal, no longer my toy.

"You know, I’m very vindictive, so let’s see if you’ll be lucky enough to survive," I lift them by the neck and strike them with a kick to the torso, throwing them quickly.

In an instant, with my new speed, I’m behind them, with my hand I pierce the armor, going through their back and piercing their heart while my hand completely penetrates their body.

I whisper in their ear.

"Let’s see if you can survive this," I move my hand upwards, cutting the upper part of their torso while splitting their head in two, the same thing they were going to do to me.

The blood splashes, staining my body with their blood.

Ptui!

"Disgusting wretch," I spit on the dead body as the [Abyss Reflection] begins to disappear.

Now that I’m in the forest, I notice how my perception of everything has changed, all the monsters in the area seem so pitiful and irrelevant.

In the area where I am, nothing is stronger than me currently.

’I should delve deeper into the forest to hunt something truly good,’ I start walking towards the location where the girl is.

The girl is playing with the mage, as I see, the mage doesn’t even have a chance against her and just keeps missing all the spells.

’As I imagined, she got stronger,’ I arrive imperceptibly behind the mage, with a simple movement of my tail I cut off their four limbs while grabbing one of the arms and start eating it.

"Here, girl," I toss the other arm to the girl, the other shadows were feeding, so I don’t see why this girl would be different.

The girl soon starts eating the arm while I look at the swordsman moaning in pain, I step on their head, grinding it into the ground.

"Hey mage, want to play a game? I didn’t like your meat much, so maybe you’ll get out alive, of course, you don’t have a choice," I grab the mage and turn them over, soon injuring my hand and forcing them to drink my blood.

What would normally not be good at all due to my race, but since they are a bit strong, they should be able to withstand it without problems. I also throw my blood over the mage’s body.

"Mage, do you know teleportation magic?" They shake their head no.

"Then I’ll kill you," I can’t do what I want if they don’t know how to teleport.

"W-Wait, I-I have an artifact for that," they say desperately and moaning in pain.

"Great, then teleport to the guild right now," I say while searching their cloak and taking the artifact. After getting the artifact, I place it on their chest.

"[Explosive Life]... Haha, I hope you have fun, mage," I say as I activate the magic once.

...

...

...

"Hey, receptionist, I don’t want this Rank-C mission, give me the Rank-B one instead," I say to the guild receptionist as I return the mission.

"Sorry, miss Livia, but your current Rank can’t take on that mission," the guild secretary refuses to give me the mission.

"Tsk..."

Crack!

Soon I hear a crack, I look back to see an unusual scene, someone has fallen on one of the guild tables, but this person is dismembered and covered in blood.

"GUILD MASTER, WE HAVE PROBLEMS!" The receptionist yells, and soon the guild master comes down to look. We adventurers gather around the dismembered man.

The guild master asks.

"What happened?... Ethan? What left you like this, where are the others?"

Everyone here knows Ethan, he’s an outgoing guy, a considerably talented mage. For something to leave him in such a state, it must be very strong.

"M-Monster... killed everyone... dead... danger..." He speaks disconnected words, from which we only understand that everyone is dead, and that there is a dangerous monster. He also seems delirious from the pain while being pale from blood loss.

BOOOM

Soon Ethan’s body explodes, spraying blood everywhere, some adventurers were injured by the body explosion.

"Explosive Life... possibly a vampire," I hear the guild master mutter.

’So it was blood magic... the Rank-A group was wiped out?... what kind of monster was capable of that?’ I wonder as I see the damage, the main hall of the guild is covered in blood and some injured on the floor.

"Listen, everyone," the guild master says.

"For now, don’t worry, I’ll see what I can do about this... all you need to know is that in the Mana Dead Forest there is a dangerous, possibly vampire and sadistic monster."

"Because obviously this thing let Ethan escape just to kill him later," the guild master says.

"Since it was an A-class group, now all groups below that classification are prohibited from attempting to go to the Mana Dead Forest until investigations are carried out."

Some murmur negatively, but they fall silent when the guild master looks at them.

"You can return to your duties, the guild will resolve this problem," the guild master says as he goes upstairs to the upper floor of the guild.
