The demon was obviously too small for that basent. Which was bad. And he was still orienting himself, which was good. The System was aware of the demon summoning, which was good too. And Bundeus decided to make an appearance, which was terrible. But he offered a quest, which was good. And alerted everyone, which was bad.
I'm not getting anywhere. Sorry, it was my brain trying to jumpstart itself and still stay in denial.
But what happened was as follows. The cultists were trying to summon a minor demon. The girl's lifeforce would be enough to bind it for a good amount of ti. When I killed the cult leader and the other casters, they were added to the ritual as extra sacrifices. So the quality of the demon summoned improved. But the caster, being a wimp and a corpse, failed to assert his will upon the demon. Which ant we had a level fifty-one demon loose in the city.
Right, the part about Bundeus of all deities offering a quest. A prompt like this popped up.
Bundeus, god of Sun, Humans, and War offers you a Quest!
1. Slay the summoned Demon Lord.
Reward: 2 Perks of your choice, up to {very rare}.
Bonus objective: Kill the summoners.
Reward: 1 Perk of your choice, up to {very rare}.
Doth thou accept thy quest? [YES] - [NO]
I selected Yes. Another prompt imdiately popped up.
You completed the bonus objective. Select a perk.
It seems the Gods assign quests but aren't omniscient. Bundeus probably didn't know the summoners were already dead, only that a Demon Lord was summoned.
"{Favored Enemy [Demons]}!" I shouted.
You gained the Favored Enemy [Demons] (rare) perk. Treat all your combat Skills as one rank above when fighting against demons.
For your selfless Choice, Bundeus, god of Sun, Humans, and War wishes to grant you the Demon Slayer (very rare) Perk. Increase the damage dealt to demons by 50%. The damage you deal to demons fails to regenerate. Do you accept it? [YES] - [NO]
I think Bundeus wasn't aware of who was questing on his behalf. Before he could figure it out, I shouted, "Yes!"
And that's when the demon decided to act. He stood up and burst the house, sending a shower of debris and rubble everywhere in a two-block radius. Did the quest say "Demon Lord"? I'm sure it did. The fucker was fifteen ters tall because he grew more after he got enough room to stretch.
And he caught on fire.
Resigned, I put a contract on the demon lord and almost fainted. What the?
Nenandil scolded .
**DOOM**
That's how a Demon Lord's footsteps sound, by the way. He had already set the block on fire. People were screaming and running away in a panic. The whole city was dod.
The city where my living family lived. The choice was made when that thought crossed my mind. I ran and started to climb the flaming body of the demon.
You are hurt by fire. You lost 43 HP.
I started to claw the demon and bite chunks of his tough hide as I climbed higher. I was taking forty-sothing HP of damage every ti one of the flas licking the body of the demon touched . He was searing hot but my {Temperature Tolerance} perk lowered that temperature. My regeneration was working to keep alive.
I slled a deep acrid stench of brimstone along with the peculiar hissing of acid dissolving stuff. I looked down and saw that the blood oozing from the wounds I caused was tainting and eating away at whatever it fell on. Bad.
I reached the thigh of the demon but hadn't scored a critical hit yet. The Demon Lord noticed and tried to swat . Even if it was a bad joke by Loki, the power of the Guardian of Caerbannon wasn't just slice limbs with its bite. It also was the art of fighting while clinging to the body of a bigger enemy. And this demon was almost twenty-five tis my size. He had as much chance to swat off of his body as a human killing a flea, if that flea was smart, had System perks, and absolute clinging power.
I spat a chunk of demon butt and climbed up to its back. Dodging flas, clawing its skin, trying to reach the neck and land a critical to finish him at once. The demon bled, twitched, and swatted his back attempting to remove . So long he didn't do like the bear-hugging caveman King did to bunny-, I would be fine.
She replied.
