"Shackles Release!" I shouted, causing a surge of chaotic mana to engulf the atmosphere. My muscles pulsed and my veins glowed a hue of gold and a mix of red.
I could feel every muscle fibre in my body tighten. My hair slowly changed to a blood colour and an overwhelming strength enveloped my body.
The lightning around my body beca concentrated with pure lightning mana, I pulled the vines off of my body and tore Malia free.
I hopped off the branch and landed on the forest floor. I stared at the Forest King in front of .
A sharp pain on my forehead caused to close my eyes, 2 horns propped up and the pain subsided. My transformation was finally over.
More vines started to appear out of the ground but I incinerated them using Fla magic.
[S rank - Forest King is intimidated]
"It can't be Luci-"
The human voice in my head was interrupted, as I conjured a 10 foot lightning bolt and threw it with force.
'Indra's Arrow!'
The lightning rod cackled, frying the air; it travelled at a mind splitting speed. I watched as the Forest King fell to its knees.
The lightning rod went straight through, leaving a large hole in its chest; it didn't stop there and continued to move past the trees causing havoc for another couple hundred tres.

[You have received 10 stat points]
[Available Stat points: 30]

I didn't get a notification for killing the Forest King, instead I ended up killing other beasts behind it; I had to finish this before the forest king healed.
I rested Malia against a tree and held Voadhailis's Claw in my hand. I had to end this. The forest King got up and walked back holding the large hole in its chest, it pointed at and dozens of beasts started running towards , mindlessly.
I pointed the blade towards the sky, dark clouds started forming and rain started to fall. Soon thunder and lightning started striking the ground rcilessly and blood splattered everywhere; it looked like Zeus's wrath was being shunned on the Earth.
[You have massacred dozens of C rank beasts!]
I levitated up and swung my blade down, an ear splitting thunderclap shook the forest and millions of volts of electricity struck the Forest King.
[Congratulations! You have created a new skill!]
[What do you want to na it?]
'Zeus's Wrath'.
[You have used 4000 MP]
The other beasts stopped moving. Did sothing happen? I peered past the dozens of beasts blocking my view with my demon eye; the green body of the Forest King made up of plants was now charred black; it stopped moving and flopped on the ground dead like a shriveled autumn leaf.
[Congratulations! You have killed the S rank beast - Forest king (Clone)]

[Available stat points: 40]
[MP has been restored]
CLONE?! My eyes widened. What was the aning of this?! So where was the real one situated? Did it switch consciousness at the last second to its main body?
I dropped to one knee and gritted my teeth. My red hair started to go back to its dark hue and my horns were slowly receding. I was completely fatigued. My MP was back but that didn't an anything if my body didn't let use it. Where was help when I needed it?
The beasts roared as they were still under control of the Forest King's main body, hiding sowhere. The ground shook as the army of beasts were running towards . I cursed my luck. I was going to die again. I really got played, huh?
I didn't even have energy to run, but if I gave up here, they'd kill Malia. I had to fight. Why weren't there any potions to restore energy? Wait, what would happen if I increase my Stamina points? Would I recover energy?
Gritting my teeth I stumbled up with my last ounces of energy, I sliced the ground 5 tres in front of , a wall of fire appeared separating Malia and I from the beasts running havoc.
That would buy so ti.
I opened up the system nu and placed 30 points into stamina and 10 into intelligence.
[Stamina has increased 156 -> 186]
[Intelligence has increased 50 -> 60]
I felt a little energy co back to , at least enough to run, I picked Malia and started to move but I was stopped by a familiar voice. I sweared internally as I realised whose voice it was.
"I didn't think you were this powerful, Young man."
Another Forest King stood to my right; It had miniaturised from its usual 20 foot size to my height. The voice was definitely a human's, how was this person controlling a S rank beast?
"Who are you?" I asked, keeping on guard, Lightning cackled around at my question.
"You don't need to know that; Although I'm surprised at how you're half demon."
I listened carefully to the human voice echoing in my head.
"Especially that demonic Aura that you emitted during that transformation, you even intimidated the Forest King. Let ask you a question, young one."
I nodded.
"Are you a descendant of Lucifer? You're a one eyed demon after all."
I frowned at the question. Lucifer? I had never heard of that na. What did one-eyed demons resemble? I felt a deep unease at the man's question and the mory of receiving the gift from Kayden played through my head like a cassette tape.
"Looking at your reaction, it doesn't seem like you know what I'm talking about. Just a piece of advice though, if you ever visit the demon kingdom, hide that human eye of yours."
A cold shiver ran down my spine at the man's cold voice in my head. It felt like a brain freeze engulfing my skull in ice.
"There! It's there! Hurry!" A stern man's shout travelled throughout the forest along with trampling footsteps. They were humans, it looked to be a party of 6 mages; they were all B and low C rank. Did they co due to the commotion? More importantly, who sent these mages?
I flipped my gaze back to the S rank beast in front of .
"It was nice eting you descendant of Lucifer, I shall take my leave now. I really do like you. Let's et again soti."
"What's your na? At least tell that." I pointed Voadhailis's Claw at the beast.
Suddenly, it disappeared out of my line of vision and reappeared in front of again. It was so fast even I couldn't see what had happened. Was it due to my fatigue? My senses felt sluggish.
My blade was parried and a sharp punch connected with my sternum; my body refused to listen to and I dropped to the ground in slow motion.
"I'm Astaroth."
The roar of beasts and distant shouts of the party of mages was the last thing I heard before my eyes closed…
