Chapter 11: Touch Me
"I'm sorry, I can't-" As soon as the receptionist raised her head, she was petrified, her face turning red instantly.
I put both of my hands folded on the check-in desk and tilted my head slightly. A slight wistful smile filled my lips.
"That man tried to snatch my lover from me. Can't you help me?" My eyes looked at her with an alluring gaze.
"0221." The receptionist's face turned even redder, her eyes locked on me.
"Miss, I have one more request. Can I borrow that room's spare key?"
"Sorry. Th-that... I-I can't-"
Before she finished her sentence I took her hand, held it tight and leaned my face close to her.
"I'm begging you. I promise I'll return it as soon as possible. She is very important for me," I begged.
The receptionist released my hand awkwardly, she took a key card with the same room number she mentioned it, nervously and gave it to me. Which I immediately took.
"P-please return it immediately after you finished. O-or I will be scolded by my boss."
"Thank you. I will definitely return it soon."
I quickly stepped into the elevator and pressed the button.
'Status.'
This time my enemy is a demon with a higher level than me. I can't expect I can win easily like yesterday.
[Status]
[Name: Damian Lucio] [Age: 18]
[Level 3] [Exp: 13.56%]
[Race: Demon-Incubus] [Title: Breast Squeezer]
[HP: 210/220] [DP: 42/110]
[STR: 21] [VIT: 22]
[AGI: 27] [LUK: 16]
[INT: 21] [WIS: 11]
[Partners - 1]
[Camila Creststream - Human (35)]
[Unused stat - 10]
'Add all unused status points into STR. '
Since I had never fought a demon before, I planned to give him a surprise attack, just like when I attacked Bern yesterday and I must take him down as quickly as possible. I didn't know what a demon can do in a battle. Right now what comes to my mind is raising my STR status.
[STR: 21] => [STR: 31]
I can feel my physical strength rising in an instant. A power that I do not know where it came from, fills my body. Compared to my strength yesterday, it feels like I can beat Bern in just two hits.
* Tring! *
The elevator door opened, I walked quickly following the direction sign to their room. My eyes swept around me looking for their room number and stopped once I found it.
Without waiting any longer, I swiped the key card in my hand to the scanner in front of the door and opened the door slowly.
I peeked to make sure it was the right room. My eyes widened when I saw Ms Mia lying on the bed with half-opened clothes while the demon was already on top of her body and kissed her. 'Dammit!'
My feet immediately stepped in and my clenched hand flew to his face. He was thrown after being hit by my sudden punch.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a rat demon for 40 HP.]
He stood up and looked at me sharply.
"How dare you!" His 'human' face began to turn into a rat.
Before he had a chance to attack me, I lunged at him. My fist had been raised to punch him, but then I noticed a sly smile from his face and a movement behind me. Feeling something was wrong, I turned around. A claw swung towards me. Reflexively, I raised my hand to resist the attack.
[You have taken 20 physical damage.]
[Warning! You are bleeding.]
[Your HP will decrease 1 point per minute.]
While my attention was on the demon behind me, the other threw his kick at me. I could see his movements clearly and deflect it with my other hand before I retreated.
-Ttuk, - ttuk, - ttuk.
Blood that flowed from scratches on my hands fell to the floor and I could feel the stinging pain from my wound.
"Looks like we will have a big meal today. I didn't expect a stupid prey to come by itself," said one of them.
My eyes stared at the two rat demons that were smiling slyly in front of me, behind them Ms Mia was still lying with blank eyes.
'Two against one and their level above mine. This is really bad ... '
But rather than fear, oddly I felt excited. My fighting spirit flares up, my demonic instinct to dominate and show who is stronger among us is challenged. Unconsciously, a smirk began to emerge from my lips.
'Then it's time for me to try my other skills.'
'Demonic Energy.'
[Demonic energy has been activated.]
A second later, a strange energy flowing filled me, my adrenaline was racing, my senses sharpened and strange black electricity flowing over my body.
[STR: 31 + 9]
[AGI: 27 + 8]
[Time remaining: 4:56]
"Prey? Weak demons like you are no match for me." I don't know where that confidence came from but now I feel I can tear them in two in less than 5 minutes.
The sly smile on their faces faded and replaced with angry expressions.
"I'll kill you!" They were provoked by my words and stormed together.
I fixed my eyes and caught their every move clearly. As fast as lightning, I advanced towards the first demon that I had hit before and deflected his claws. Then I grabbed his head with both of my hands and banged it against my knee.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a rat demon for 51 HP.]
"AARGGGG!" A groan of pain escaped from his mouth.
Before he could get back to his senses, I punched his stomach.
[You have hit a rat demon for 38 HP.]
He staggered backwards a few steps while holding his stomach. Seeing that opportunity, I reflexively kicked his head once more.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a rat demon for 49 HP.]
He fell to the floor. In an instant, his body turned into ashes and disappeared.
[You have defeated a rat demon.]
'Yes!' I shouted happily internally.
But I must postpone my happiness as a claw swings at me from the side. My eyes could see the claw's movements clearly, but I did not dodge instead I caught it by my hand. Then I slammed him on the floor.
[You have hit a rat demon for 40 HP.]
Without waiting him to wake up, I stomped on his chest.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a rat demon for 52 HP.]
I stepped on it one more time but he protected himself with both of his hands.
[You have hit a rat demon for 16 HP.]
He swung his claws to block my attack and tried to get up. But before he managed to get back to his feet, I kicked his head.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a rat demon for 50 HP.]
His body was dragged against the bed and turned to ashes.
[You have defeated a rat demon.]
*Ting!*
[All enemies have been defeated!]
[You just got a double kill!]
[Level Up!] [Level Up!]
[You are now Level 5.]
[You have 10 unused stat points.]
[You have 4 unused skill points.]
[You have earned a new title: Iron Fighter. Keep fighting! STR + 1 AGI + 1 WIS + 1.]
[Demonic energy has been canceled.]
"Yes!" I shouted happily once again while the strange black electricity that surrounds my body disappears. I really didn't expect to win just by relying on my senses and reflexes. I have to admit it, since becoming a demon I have become much stronger than when I was a human and my stamina has also increased drastically.
I heaved a sigh of relief, the pricky pain on my hand returned my attention to it. My gaze was shifted to the wound, I remember I also had healing skills. Therefore I decided to try it.
'Dark Healing.'
[Dark Healing has been used.]
Dark aura covered my body accompanied by a strange hissing sound, a second then the dark aura disappeared with the pain in my body.
[Your HP has restored 100 points.]
I examined my hand, the wounds disappeared without leaving any scar.
'Wow! This is really cool! '
Just when a happy smile formed on my lips, suddenly a large snake's tail wrapped around and locked my body. Ms Mia crept up to me, her clothes still in a mess. Only one of her shirt buttons was still attached, while her blazer was loose and her skirt was half down. Her face turned red and her eyes were still blank.
She brought her face to my ear.
"Touch me ... Please touch me ... My body feels so hot ... I want you to touch me ..." she whispered in a seductive voice.
Note: Critical hit points: head, neck, groin and chest.
