Tale Of Unknown: Hero From Zero
23. The Poor Devil Animal
Amidst the life-and-death situation approaching Siel, Daruth, the remaining adventurers, as well as the slaves, the white-haired black-haired youth came asking for water to drink with a innocent face, as if not understanding his situation. Because of his actions, the young man, Riyan Klaint, grabbed all the attention in an instant, even the ferocious demon beasts turned to him.
'Who is this young man? Why would he ask for drinking water at a time like this!? Did he not see the demonic beast that was here!?'
Muttering in his heart, Siel widened his eyes looking at Riyan who was still breathing, as well as Daruth, the remaining adventurers, as well as the slaves. On the other hand, there was one slave who looked at Riyan as if in awe, although he was cowering in fear with his slave friends behind the iron-tested cage.
"Do you have a shareable drinking water? I ran here as fast as I could from a considerable distance just to ask for a little water to drink because my supply was up."
"E-uh? B-but isn't it better that you look at the s-si-situation first?"
Getting a reply in the form of a question that he did not expect, Riyan's forehead shrunk. Siel was shocked to see this young man he had just met frowning at him without thinking of the presence of the demonic beasts that should be within the range of his sight.
While snorting the air from both of his nostrils, Riyan put on a flat expression and turned his gaze to a deer-bodied, horse-footed, wolf-headed monster whose entire back was filled with dark purple crystals. His eyebrows slightly raised knowing the shape of the monster, but he looked back at Siel.
"So, do you want me to clean up that monster before asking for water?"
""Eh?""
Under normal circumstances, they would probably laugh out loud when they heard the words that came out of a young man of such small stature, but unfortunately their lives were very threatened. Riyan has a small body and looks weak, although his looks are now a little more sinister than before, so people will underestimate him once they see him, especially when challenging super strong opponents like this.
'What can this child be?'
'The body is small and does not look strong at all.'
'All he had was a slightly sinister face.'
When Daruth and Siel fell silent to see Riyan, the other three surviving adventurers underestimated Riyan inwardly. Naturally, with such a weak appearance, who would not underestimate him? Especially for adventurers who often engage in mutual humiliation and humiliation.
"Kal—"
"If you can defeat him, I'll give you 20 gold coins!"
Siel had not yet finished his sentence, Daruth interrupted first as fast as lightning. Finding himself interrupted by his old friend, Siel felt a little annoyed and glanced at him with sharp eyes, though Daruth pretended not to see him.
"But I can get you some drinking water, right?"
"Te-of course!!"
Daurth shouted reflexively hearing a slightly unreasonable reply from Riyan. However, Riyan did not care. He pulled Garantia and Glayster from his back together, then formed a two-sword battle technique position that slightly bent the knees and lowered both of his weapons.

As usual, Riyan deployed [Appraisal] to ascertain the strength of the enemy he was facing. This he did in order to overcome the difference in status and strength if he was weaker than his opponent, but of course what he did was very reasonable. Even so, it seemed that he had an opponent who was more or less compatible with him.
"Finally, after all this time not fighting seriously enough."
While saying that, he subconsciously put on a horrible smile. Siel and the others were shocked when they saw the change in expression of the black-haired young man in white. But, at the same time, they suddenly goosebumps. What caused them goosebumps was the impact of killing intent from the demonic beasts and Riyan.
You need to know, during the Hexaphilia labyrinth, the human side of Riyan is eroded slowly due to too often killing and experiencing solitude. Due to the pressure and burden he endured during his two months in the labyrinth alone, his mentality went from being a fairly caring person to being a cold-hearted killer. That was the reason why he could easily kill, mutilate, and take out the organs within the monsters, which even most people were disgusted at seeing.
With a fierce killing intent, the attention of the demonic beast named [Bleidfyl] was transferred to Riyan. Although he was a monster, the [Comprehension] skill he possessed made him much smarter than monsters in general. He felt a murderous air and a much greater threat than the people in front of him, so he decided to finish off what was more dangerous.
Grp!
[Bleidfyl] approached Riyan step by step in order for him to get scared and run, but unfortunately that won't happen. Instead, Riyan drew closer with his two swords, the Glayster and the Garantia he held. For some reason, his old brown robe he still wore even though he was going to fight. Maybe he forgot?
The graaw!
The demon beast kicked the ground and charged towards Riyan as hard as possible, raising the dust and destroying the place he was on. Following him, Riyan also jumped, but he jumped to the right so that the backward train that had been filled with adventurers was not damaged.
In less than two seconds, Riyan had been about 20 meters away from [Bleidfyl] who was in his standing place earlier. The astonishing speed of the two made the spectators, Siel and the others, dumbfounded in disbelief at what they had just witnessed.
'Hm, it seems like the speed that was yesterday was indeed due to [Overload], even though I wasn't serious.'
Realizing his speed without using [Overload], Riyan was slightly surprised. As he said, he had not been serious in exerting his fastest speed. [Overload] did increase his physical strength by about one and a half times, but when he passed the labyrinth guard yesterday, he did not run as fast as he could. It seemed that he did not realize that he was running here as fast as possible because he wanted to ask for water to drink.
Gr!!
Knowing the prey was not caught, the demon beast turned its head towards Riyan with its ferocious gaze. He looks very angry when he realizes he did not succeed in pouncing on Riyan in one attack. Looks like this one monster is very unacceptable no one managed to escape from the safest. The angry monster.
GRAA!
[Bleidfyl] opened his jaw as wide as possible, then spouted fire towards Riyan. Exactly the same skill as [Chimera], [Fire Breath], fire breath. According to a book containing knowledge about monsters, this skill is the most common and most commonly encountered skill in most monsters.
"[Where Slash], [Mana Shiled]"
Swinging the Glayster in his right hand and plugging the Garantia into the ground, Riyan put both skills together to put up a little resistance. Riyan's magic power was stronger than his physical strength, so he would be more likely to attack and defend using magic or skills, even though his physical strength was indeed far above normal numbers.
The devil! Zoaarr!!
Using [Mana Slash] as a fire speed barrier, Riyan ducked behind the blue shield created from the [Mana Shield] skill. Instead of what, he just wanted to reduce the risk of being injured because of his life status is less than his opponent, although his endurance status cannot be measured by human common sense. In order to reduce the level of mana consumption, Riyan shrank the scope of [Mana Shield] so he had to duck.
'So, what can I do now?'
As he asked that in his heart, he tried to find a way to attack as effectively as possible. Because he had already defended with an unfavorable position, he had to find another solution.
'Do I have to use [Holf]? No no, the scale is too small. Hm? How about that?'
Pondering over how to strike effectively behind [Mana Shield], Riyan got a pretty good idea. Without wasting any time, he stuffed the Glayster into the sheath again, then concentrated the mana in his right hand.
"[Mana Manipulation], [Holf]"
Within moments, a colorless ball was created the size of a basketball. Colorless, does not mean invisible. With a fairly observant eye, the ball can be seen from the light waves of the object it penetrated, similar to the heat of the sun that hit the asphalt. Even so, for people who are not observant it will be difficult to see it.
It was different from the mixture of [Mana Burst] and [Holf] that he had previously used to fight Moarleth in Luctas Hadwin's resting room, the Hexaphilia labyrinth, which spread the vacuum like an explosion, this time he resisted the spread of the vacuum of [Holf] magic with [Manipulation Mana] thus forming a perfect vacuum ball.
Having the technique he developed successfully, Riyan leapt upwards out of the [Fire Breath] cage of [Bliedfyl] while simultaneously plucking Garantia from the ground, then taking off [Mana Shiled]. The spectators were shocked as soon as they saw Riyan darting high into the air, about 10 meters from the ground. For him who possessed terrifying physical strength, this was not a difficult matter for him.
Just as he was about to land on the ground, suddenly a fireball shot towards him. [Fireball] from [Bliedfyl], that's what shot to Riyan. Unfortunately, something surprising happened. The spectators and the demonic beasts themselves were shocked to see such a rare occurrence. Whatisit?
"Oh, it really works."
While sparking the sentence, Riyan set both feet on the ground quietly, while the [Fireball] that had attacked him had been wiped out without a trace. This was what made Siel and the others, not least [Bleidfyl] surprised. Yeah, a vacuum ball.
'Fire won't come into being if there's no oxygen.'
Oxygen has a major impact on the combustion process. No oxygen, no fire. Utilizing the laws of chemistry, Riyan managed to create a fire suppression technique that might not have existed before in this world. Just by passing through a vacuum ball, the [Fire Breath] which was a fire would instantly be wiped out. By the way, in magic as well as skill, the medium of burning in the fire attribute is anywhere of course.
"Imust be!!"
"W-how can!?"
Watching [Fireball] from [Bleidfyl] vanish without a trace, Siel, Daruth, the slaves, as well as the surviving adventurers were blown away instantly. Of course, who wouldn't be surprised to see this? [Fire Breath] from a demonic beast alone was already extremely terrifying, let alone [Fireball] whose power was centered at a single point.
Regardless of their ramblings, Riyan walked slowly closer to the demonic beast who continued to attack him using [Fireball] many times. Unfortunately, when it was about a meter away from Riyan, all the fireballs were destroyed like they were devoured by something invisible.
Moments later, the [Bleidfyl] stopped its fire attack. Instead of attacking using both [Fireball] and [Fire Breath], this time the demon beast used his [Summon Imp] skill. Under his feet was created a red magic circle about three meters in diameter, then came out the dwarf monsters from the ground that were in the scope of his magic circle.
[Imp] was a demon or rather the lowest level demon that usually became a slave for the demon race. They looked like goblins, only their appearance was thinner and shorter, as well as their reddish-brown skin color. When compared to Riyan, [Imp] only had a height up to his waist. Although it can summon [Imp], the demon beasts are not the demon race, perhaps this skill is his original or there are other unknown factors.
There were about six [Imp] summoned by [Bleidfyl] and the six dwarf monsters immediately ran towards Riyan. Indeed [Imp] was only the lowest level demon that became a slave, but according to the book they were quite troublesome in numbers. Therefore, Riyan again deployed [Appraisal] to see how strong this small army of [Imp] was.

Knowing the status of [Imp], Riyan wanted to laugh, unfortunately he did not have time for it. Despite his low status, his physical strength and speed were not things to be underestimated. Their strength was almost twice as strong as [Cave Goblin] and their speed was roughly as fast as a running rabbit. Rightly the information conveyed by the books, they were quite troublesome if the numbers were many.
But...
Zraa!!
In an instant, the sixth [Imp] body was split in half by the [Mana Slash] from Riyan who had retracted and instantly swung Garantia down quickly. So fast, somehow the [Bleidfyl] could not respond and eventually Riyan's long-range attack hit him.
Graaaoo!!
Roaring back, the demonic beast showed a very agonizing reaction, as if it had been hit by an attack of destruction. Hearing his roar, Riyan immediately deployed [Appraisal] to find out the impact of the [Mana Slash] attack.

'Wow, the attack from Garantia is quite effective. Well, maybe because of the effect too.'
While muttering and observing [Bleidfyl] who still looked in pain, Riyan saw the only weapon he held. Indeed, the difference in strength will certainly be very significant with the Glayster, but he still keeps the Glayster as his main weapon, because of the effects it has.

Name: Garantia
Type: Weapon/Sword
Power :370
Effect: Every attack on demons and undead will increase by 20%
Material: Scafal metal, ayuta wood, holy gem

Knowing Garantia's status, he was a little surprised. The status of the Garantia power seen by [Appraisal] was extraordinary when compared to the collection swords in Alivonia's palace. As far as he could see, the strongest sword in the palace belonged to Faleon, with a power status of around 290 accompanied by the effect of reducing mana consumption by 50%, his name was Pestras. Pestras is also one of the most famous holy swords.
'This is not a holy sword anymore, maybe the sword of legend is more suitable.'
Actually since receiving Garantia from Luctas, Riyan had never seen how strong the status of his sword was, so he was surprised to find out how much sword force he was holding right now.
Based on the knowledge he got from the book in the palace library of Alivonia, the grouping of weapons in the landasi by the status of the power of the weapon. Common weapons usually have a strength of about 4-80 points and above and have no effect at all. Special weapons are filled with weapons that are 81-150 points and that have been filled with effects. While a 151-250-point weapon was a high-end weapon usually owned by nobles, the price was very expensive.
On top of the high-end weapons there are holy weapons in the class of Pestras, they must have a strength of about 251-350 points to be included in this group. Legendary weapon, the level of the weapon that was above the holy weapon. The status of weapons power in this group reaches 351-450 points, which means Garantia is one of them.
However, there were still weapons that were more powerful than the legendary weapons. This weapon is very rare and a little according to the book. Until now, only three of them have been found and traced. Weapons in this group are called god weapons, because the power is very large, like the gods of the weapons.
The requirement that is required to be able to enter this group is to have a power status of 450-700 points. That big difference is what makes these weapons said to be the gods of weapons. But, this group is only a weapon that can be grasped by an individual, beyond that there is still one more group, namely weapons of destruction.
It says in the book, there are only three weapons of destruction in this world. This weapon can destroy a large kingdom like Alivonia with just one attack. According to the story, these three weapons were created by a kingdom and given direct power by the gods. Fortunately, the three weapons were not normal weapons that could be carried everywhere, they were gigantic weapons that were even described as bigger than a small fortress.
This weapon is still debated because there has not been found any evidence that clarifies the truth, so many consider the three weapons of destruction are just a fairy tale. Deen, Ream, and Liose, that's the name of the weapon of destruction.
'It looks like Garantia should be kept as a secret weapon in the face of demons and demonic beasts. To be honest, I don't want to draw attention to this legendary sword, especially if I manage to kill the devil and get the nickname 'demon killer' then famous, I don't know where to go.'
While saying that in his heart, Riyan again directed his attention to the demon beast who looked very angry this time. Feeling threatened, [Bleidfyl] activated the [Flaming Coat] thus making the entire back to the feet burn reddish yellow flames. Even if it burns, the parameters of his life will not decrease in the least, because [Flaming Coat] is one of his skills and is not detrimental.
Graaah!!
"Huh, looks like it's time this game is over."
Throwing out the sentence, Riyan raised his right hand and pointed it at the only opponent he faced. He concentrated his mana in the palm, then formed a hollow ball the size of a small pebble, it took a struggle to create this small one. Not wanting to waste more time, Riyan blasted the vacuum ball created from [Mana Burst] and [Holf] that he had once used against Moarleth.
In the same way and not realized, the attack successfully entered the lungs [Bleidfyl]. A few seconds later, the demonic beast simply exploded without any previous signs. The internal organs and blood of the demon animal were scattered everywhere, even most of the splashes of blood changed the color of the horse carriage from brown to blood red.
Watching what had just happened, Siel, Daruth, the slaves, and the surviving adventurers could not say anything to his surprise. A demonic beast so powerful that even great knights had trouble handling it, only to be defeated by a young man casually. On the other hand, Riyan smiled in satisfaction over his first victory outside of the labyrinth.
