Bang—!

As I kicked off the ground, Lim Ga-eul cast a skill at the Devil.

"Super-Slow!"

My speed had already increased, and now the enemy’s speed was slowed down even further.

This changed my perspective.

I could see the veins protruding all over Yeon Woo-jin’s body writhing, and the blood flowing within them. I could even see the process of his muscles swelling and transforming into a giant hand.

It was supposed to happen in an instant, but now every detail was vividly clear.

’......I understand why Lim Ga-eul did what she did.’

I didn’t agree, but I empathized. From her perspective, the enemy was as good as frozen in ti. It was only natural that she would feel a sense of omnipotence.

In fact, if Lim Ga-eul had just a little more offensive power, she would have insisted on finishing him off herself.

’But even if you know the strategy, he’s still a pretty annoying opponent.’

Slash—

I sliced through the arm that had started to swell thickly, but before it could fall off, the severed end oozed blood like jelly and quickly reattached.

Yeon Woo-jin’s regeneration ability had been enhanced by the devil’s possession.

Kwaang!

Yeon Woo-jin’s giant hand slamd into the ground, causing a massive vibration and a shockwave that dislodged a hanging light from the ceiling.

But it wasn’t a problem since Instructor Baek Seol-hee had already taken the hostages out. She was probably transporting them to a safe place right now.

I watched the scene and cald my mind.

’The standard strategy for taking down Yeon Woo-jin is to use a special attack with a high number of hits per second...’

Even with his regeneration ability, he would die if he was killed a thousand tis.

It might seem like a tedious grind, but if you have a special attack that deals over a hundred hits in one blow and aim for a one-hit kill against his squishy body,

It’s an incredibly easy opponent that can be taken down with just ten attacks or so.

But I was a close-range dealer specialized in one-on-one combat, with high damage per hit.

’Well, I could just slash him a thousand tis, but that’s not really my style...’

I had already figured out how to take down Yeon Woo-jin with swordsmanship alone a long ti ago.

Even though a demon had possessed his body, regeneration was still Yeon Woo-jin’s trait, so the strategy should still work.

I twisted my ankle and turned my body, cutting off the sa arm again.

Crunch.

Crunch.

Three tis, for now.

The number of tis the right arm was cut off and reattached.

Enraged, Yeon Woo-jin turned to , grinding his teeth, then suddenly pulled up the corners of his mouth.

"Kuhkuhkuh..."

He smirked and laughed.

"This body... an immortal body. I may not know much, but I like this one...! With this, I can buy ti until I regain my strength!"

The guy arrogantly crossed his arms as if he wasn’t going to move anymore.

"Go ahead, keep slicing! I wonder which will co first, your exhaustion or my recovery!"

The demon had no idea what he was talking about.

’I’ll gladly oblige.’

An immobile enemy?

Honestly, it was too easy to the point of being yawn-inducing.

Oops, I almost did the sa thing as Lim Ga-eul.

No, I mustn’t.

Even now, Sophia was furiously pointing her cara at this place.

I swung my sword again.

Since the enemy wasn’t moving anyway, I did it chanically like a factory worker.

Slice— slice—

This ti, I sliced his left arm twice.

Slice slice slice slice—

And his right leg four tis.

Slice—

His left leg once.

I cut off his limbs just as I rembered them.

"I would’ve told you it’s pointless..."

Even if it reattached, the feeling of his body being continuously sliced off was still unpleasant, so he growled threateningly.

Hmm.

But, could he still spout such nonsense after taking this hit?

I stopped in front of him and stared at him.

"Kukuku. Have you given up now? Yes, I have descended, and this world is now beneath my feet—"

As he rambled on, three seconds passed.

Slice—

I beheaded Yeon Woo-jin.

Then, I sheathed my sword while spinning my body.

Next, a one-hit kill skill.

[Lampo]

Swoosh—

As I drew my sword from its sheath, I passed through him.

However, Yeon Woo-jin’s severed head, floating in the air, still wore a nonchalant expression.

He probably thought he would regenerate again.

But.

Crunch—

Crunch—

A bone-chilling sound rang out, and his body contorted randomly, swelling up like a balloon.

And the head, which had fallen from the air and reconnected to the body, could no longer maintain its nonchalant expression.

Even his face began to swell like a giant balloon.

"Wh, what the...! What the hell is this─!!!"

Thud.

As I sheathed Moonlight,

Boom!

His body exploded.

’As expected, this strategy works here too?’

If this didn’t work, I would’ve had to grind a thousand tis to kill him.

To be honest, I don’t know why this works.

It’s just...

’A bug.’

As I finished him off effortlessly, I started walking towards Sophia and Lim Ga-eul when—

Ring─♪

An unexpected ringtone sounded in my head.

’What, what is this...? I didn’t even call up my status window?’

[ You have acquired a title. ]

’A title? Out of the blue!?’

My eyes widened as I stared at the semi-transparent ssage window in front of .

Titles are usually given when one’s reputation becos well-known among people.

Now, I had acquired various new titles that had been attached to .

’Unconscious Flirting dispenser’, ’Cliff-top C’, ’Hom Fatale’, ’Destroyer of Food’, ’Birdbrain’... titles that made no sense at all.

But it was a different story when the status window gave a title.

’...Is this it? The one given to the first person to achieve a feat in the ga?’

" First Achievent Title "

I had played Velvets quite a lot, but I had only received one such title.

It was the ’Scrooge’ title I got for defeating a boss without using any of the items provided.

There was a reason why I had only received one such title.

The first achievent titles could only be obtained by one person, and by the ti I started playing, the rich kids had already swept up all the titles.

I had once tried various things to get these titles, but since I didn’t know the achievent conditions, I eventually gave up.

It was sothing that could only be obtained by chance upon chance, so I had just given up on it...

’But why did it appear here all of a sudden?’

[ [ Title – Slayer of the Impossible. Devil Slayer ] ]

The reason why I had coveted these first achievent titles so much was because of the special attributes that ca with them!

’Crazy. This is such a broken ability!’

In the world of Velvets, what was the most annoying thing?

Need I say more? It was the demons and the devil race.

Regular monsters and boss monsters were already known, and there were enough strategies to deal with them,

To be honest, if my stats were good enough, it wouldn’t be impossible to achieve a no-death clear.

But I had faced many unexpected defeats against devils that didn’t match my attributes, and the bosses that even I had to be careful about with their one-turn kills were all devil.

So, to get an additional 10% damage against all demons and devil beings?

This was truly a stroke of luck.

’...Could it be that I got this because I defeated a devil being?’

I had only defeated a severely nerfed devil being that possessed Yeon Woo-jin, but it seed that it still counted as a devil kill.

’Well, I am probably the first one to defeat a devil being at this point.’

I nodded, satisfied with this unexpected turn of events.

But I was still underestimating the significance of this achievent.

Ring─♪

The bell rang again.

[ Your rank has increased. The stars are aligned in your favor. ]

My body trembled at the familiar ssage.

’A rank increase...!?’

I had initially relied on my early ga wealth to compete with 4-star characters, and with Baek Seol-hee’s lessons and the magic-boosting elixir, I had surpassed Kang Do-hee, a native 5-star character, in strength.

However, my growth had stagnated recently.

The reason was that I was still a 1-star character.

No matter how hard I tried, there was a limit to how strong I could beco as a 1-star, and I was already nearing that limit.

The story provided set opportunities to increase one’s rank, so I thought I had no choice but to wait for those monts...

Oooong─

A bright, white light ford above my head, too bright to look at directly.

It then poured down on .

Kwaaaaaaaa─

"Jin Yuha!"

"Yuha!"

Sophia and Lim Ga-eul called out to from behind, their faces full of concern.

But I gritted my teeth and widened my eyes.

"I’m fine! Just stay back!!!!"

An overwhelming, irresistible force ran rampant through my body, coursing through my blood vessels and inflicting excruciating pain.

"Kyaaaaaaaaah!!!!"

I couldn’t hold back my scream any longer.

Pssss─

And in the midst of the blinding pain—

Pakang─!

I had a vision of a heavy shackle that had bound my soul breaking apart.

"······."

"······."

A heavy silence fell in the basent.

Haaaaaa─

I slowly exhaled and opened my eyes.

"Status window."

Demon Slayer, the title I earned from defeating a demonic being.

As a 2-star character, all my attributes increased by 10.

And among them, my Charm, which had already reached 90, broke into triple digits, granting a new trait.

’Charisma’ – Able to exert a dominating presence over others.

’The butterfly effect... This ability is truly amazing.’

I had gained so much from this unexpected turn of events.

I examined my status window with a bewildered expression, still trying to wrap my head around what had just happened.

To be honest, I was still dumbfounded and didn’t fully understand how all of this had co about.

I closed my eyes and composed myself.

Yes, for now, I needed to complete the operation and return.

I could rejoice later.

I turned to the party mbers who had been waiting for and said,

"Well, shall we go now?"

Then.

Thud.

Sophia, her face reddened, dropped the cara she had been holding, and Lim Ga-eul, still maintaining her concept, stared at with hazy, half-lidded eyes, her mouth agape.

And,

’Instructor?’

Why are you glaring at with such intimidating eyes...?
