Rocky’s P.O.V:-
The archer went through a series of transformations but his overall physique still looked the same. Though some dramatic changes that occurred everywhere on his body.
Firstly, his color turned from a healthy wheat brown with a tinge of redness on his glowing face, to a darker brownish shade and his veins bulged out.
The veins on his face and body were now squirming and pulsating and were bulging out like they were going to burst out from the pressure.
His eyes, which were once blue in color turned crimson and the white part of his eyes tuned into pitch black.
They looked like a red moon hanging in a pitch black sky with no stars near it.
His nails grew bigger and even a simple look of those steel bound 2 inch long nail, completely convinced me of their danger and sharpness. His hair also grew from being short to waist length, but instead of being silky and smooth, they became more like spikes and thrones.
His transformations were still continuing and from the look of it they weren’t going to stop any time soon.
There were multiple things happening all over his body like; the growth of two small horns from his forehead, his skin turning more like the bark of a tree, his teeth getting sharper and his muscles growing and gaining weight.
To say that he was human who looked like a monster was nothing but a censored version of the fact that he had no humanity left in him anymore.
Minie was screaming something in my head, but I who was too immersed in the view didn’t listen to her.
But then she started nagging and I had to listen to what she wanted to say, “Don’t worry, okay even if he turns into a monster there are people here who can kill him. Well, from the way he is changing looks like his hate was too much, so he is probably going to go insane.”
“That can happen?”
“Yeah too much of anything can only be dangerous to one’s body and instead of provide any benefit it would only lead to its degradation. And also, because the chaos element is going to make him senile, he probably won’t be able to use his skills and the like. So even if he turns into a demon and get more powerful; I don’t think he’ll be able to leave our dungeon alive.”
“Is this alright?” Yeah my replies turned into one liner’s because she was finally acting like a helper and not a helper. I don’t know why, but I still miss the old her.
“Well, it’s good for us isn’t it? We can sit back relax and enjoy a good fight while getting some credits at the same time. Ah! Just for comparison why don’t you open and see his status?”
“I can do that?”
“Yes you can. Open the dungeon interface and concentrate on his name, that should do the trick.”
I thought for a minute and did as she said and it appeared in front of me. I got happy for a second, but then I actually saw his status.

“How is it? You can see it right?”

“Yes, I can, but what the hell is wrong with this? How come he has so many points distributed into each of his stats?”
“It is because of him turning into a demon. If it wasn’t so then he would have a pretty normal status. Well, it doesn’t matter let’s see how your friend their copes with him.”
Well, whatever. Let’s just enjoy the show.
And just as our conversation ended, the Assassin who was only looking at the transforming demon suddenly rushed out and attacked. His body, moved and his hands faded away.
The assassin moved and slashed the sword in his hand towards the devils neck.
The sword fell and made contact with his neck, but unlike he expected instead of cutting his neck, it got chipped instead.
His eyes bulged out, but he knew that this was not the time to get surprised, so he hurriedly moved his sword to his front and got ready to face the counter attack from him.
The devils red eyes moved he looked up and those bright eyes which were demanding blood got locked onto the assassin. He stared at him for some time in silence and then he roared.
*Roar*
Though the roar wasn’t powerful and didn’t create any shock wave of its own, but it still shook the whole room.
Just as the roar exploded in the room the devil moved.
He ran toward the assassin like a raging bull, trying to pierce him with his horns.
His horns that were still growing were now at least 4 inch long and sharp as a spear.
But to his attack, the assassin snorted once before evading it by side stepping. The demon passed through one of his afterimages that were left after he displayed his high speed movement.
The demon turned around and came back again for one more round.
His leg muscles swelled to twice their size and his arms became bulkier and unlike before when he ran only using his legs, this time he crouched and started running on all his four.
The assassin saw him doing that and snorted again in disdain, but he couldn’t keep his lofty attitude because of the difference in speed that the demon displayed once his hands touched the ground. He flashed once before appearing right in front of Enco.
Enco got startled because at that moment the demons speed had exceeded his own.
“Oreyaa”
His loud yell couldn’t stop the horns from piercing through his leather armor like a paper and dividing him into two, but from his looks the demon turned archer wasn’t happy.
There was no blood on his horns and even the body vanished after he had torn it apart. No blood means the attack was evaded.
Actually, just as Enco was about to get pierced by the Rage monster he had jumped upward. His speed was enough to leave behind afterimages, and it was also his fading shadow which got pierced by the demon.
The demon looked back and saw him clinging to the ceiling like a gecko. His anger reached another level, as his long nail grew even longer.
He stood up and ran toward the assassin who was falling from the ceiling towards the ground. Keeping his nails in front of him he slashed at the assassin like some ferocious animal, but Enco used his speed, side stepped using his right foot and moved.
Because the demon was only running on his foot, so Enco’s speed was enough to evade his attack. He evaded the attack moved behind the demon’s back.
The demon noticed him evading behind him, so he hurriedly stopped his acceleration and rotated his waist before powerfully to put more weight behind his attack before slashing his nails from up to down thinking of cleaving the assassin in half.

Enco had just moved behind the Demon, when the sword like nails came to take his life away.
He knew about the power behind the attack and his own strength, so instead of blocking the attack head on. He parried one hand full of nails to the side using both of his daggers.
The nails sliding on the daggers created sparks, but there was no room for Enco to take a breath of relief because the other hand was right in front of his chest.
Those nails put a dent in his defense, when his leather armor got cut and a claw mark got engraved on it.
But Enco quick thinking saved him otherwise he would have died already.
After parrying the hand full of sword like nails, he saw another one coming towards his chest.
He quickly kicked the ground and jumped backwards to evade, but those nails still reached him and cut the upper layer of his skin through his leather armor.
He jumped back and just as his foot touched the ground his body got shrouded in shadows and he disappeared.
The demon, whose momentum from running was still carrying him forward suddenly, felt a presence behind him.
He cracked his neck to look back, to see what was happening, but what he saw enraged him even more.
He saw a dagger coming straight towards his neck from behind him.
The demon cranked his neck to the left and putting pressure on his leg, he rotated his body using his left leg as the pivot point and evaded the attack.
Enco improvised and moved the trajectory of his dagger, but the devils rotation to get out of its path was much faster than his adjustments and in the end it only left a red line on his black neck before parting away.
The red line created a contrast on his black body, but the demon didn’t give a single look to his injury as he moved to attack Enco.
His rotating body created enough momentum for him to do a kick. He lifted his right leg and gave a powerful spin kick on the assassin’s stomach.
The kick landed, but only on thin air as Enco had already started retreating when his dagger missed.
So before the kick could land on him he jumped backward while the dagger coming back attacked the same position that it had before and made the bloody line on Roby’s neck thicker and deeper.
That angered the devil whose roars and wails shook the room like it was made of paper.
His legs expanded once more and he moved, no he ran and his speed was absolutely identical to the assassin.
The assassin who saw his muscles expanding was left a bit confused but his attention and vigilance didn’t reduce even a little bit.
When the devil moved to attack him, he also did the same and ran straight toward him.
The distance that was created between them was again reduced to some meters, but before they could meet each other in the center and do a head on battle in the center, Enco disappeared into the shadows and came out from behind the devil.
But his attack wasn’t successful, as the keen vision and extraordinary senses of the devil sensed his presence from his back and he made a backwards kick which fell right on Enco’s chest.
This time He wasn’t able to do anything, as the kick landed squarely on his chest and he flew.
Enco flew; the kick was so powerful that he vomited blood as he was sent flying toward the wall.
The evil smirked and he started running towards Enco keeping his hands straight in front of him with the idea to directly impale him with his 4 inch long nails.
But instead of impacting on the wall and getting embedded into it Enco got engulfed into a shadowy hole and disappeared.
The devil that was fighting quite skillfully was also losing his mental fortitude slowly. The chaos element that was forcefully converting the archer into a devil was not only corrupting his body and mind, but also his soul.
The assassin who had disappeared into shadows came out again, but his time the shadow hole opened on the ceiling directly above the Demon.
Enco pushed the ceiling with his foot and fell toward the demon with great force.
He had kept his dagger straight in front of him to stab it directly into his head, but the attack failed as the running demon suddenly cranked his head to the right and evaded the attack.
Enco moved his dagger to cut his face but as it touched instead of leaving another red line from his head to his neck it did nothing else.
Even though the demon evaded getting stabbed in to his head, but the dagger still stuck his shoulder and dug deep into it.
The demon roared and shook his head crazily, but it did not make any impact on Enco.
Enco used the struck dagger as a pivot and rotated his body mid air to jump backwards, but he was a bit late, as the demon launched his fist in anger and it punched him directly on his face.
His backward momentum from the jump reduced some power of the punch, but it still hurt him badly.
That punch broke his nose, while blood started rushing to his mouth.
His feet touched the ground and he again went to attack on the raging bull
His arms moved so fast that others could only see black lines moving. The devil that had by now become wild was bombarded with dagger attacks that made bloody cuts on his body again and again.
But all his attacks were met with attacks from the demon.
He attacked on the left and evaded on the right. He crouched to dodge and attacked with his dagger. Hacking, slashing, parrying, and piercing and attacked him from all the angles and directions, but most of his attacks only left red lines on the demons body and nothing more.
Both of them crazily attacked each other.
If the demon was getting bloody lines everywhere on his body then Enco was also getting scratched and cut.
“The hell are you?” he yelled and jumped backward to end their onslaught, but he was followed by the demon.
When the demons foot touched the ground, instead of continuing the motion and launching him forward, he got slanted to his right side.
When he looked down he was his foot not touching the ground, but going inside a dark shadow hole.
He roared and tried to get his leg out of it, but before he could do so; the hole closed and his leg from knee downward to his foot vanished.
The hole closed and his leg got cut.
*Roar*
The devil couldn’t understand what just happened, but then the pain kicked in and he roared.
“We should finish this now.” The assassin said and he disappeared into the shadows.
His face that was full of grief, pain and terror was once again smiling; his eyes were glowing because he could see the end to the fight coming near.
Another shadow hole opened near the demon and a dagger came out flying from inside and the hole disappeared.
The dagger made a cut on the demons face and went on flying, but then Enco appeared and caught the dagger and attacked using the same strategy.
He caught the dagger and slashed on the demon with other dagger. Holding both the daggers in his hands he started spinning and the spinning tornado rained hell on the demon.
The demon retaliated and punched toward the spinning tornado but before his fist made contact, it disappeared into the shadows again.
Another hole opened from the ceiling and Enco came out of it. He fell from the ceiling cut the demons ear and went into a shadowy hole on the ground.
The demon tried to punch him while his body was going into the hole, but instead on hitting him, his arm got swallowed by the darkness and it disappeared as the hole on the ground closed.
Now, the demon was in an awkward position with both is right arm and leg cut. He roared and yelled, but his limbs didn’t grow back again.
Enco again appeared from behind him, his daggers shrouded in a dark red fog. He moved, he ran and stabbed one of his daggers into his back and passed him by.
The demon didn’t die, instead he stood up on his left leg and started thumping his chest with his left arm like a gorilla.
Enco didn’t lose his wining momentum and he ran toward him from the front.
The demon attacked him using his only arm and a fist came bulldozing toward Enco, but he crouched down and dogged the attack.
While the fist moved away creating howling sounds, he ferociously slashed his dagger with his left arm on the demons only leg while sliding away.
The demon leg which was strong like a strong pillar was cut like a paper.
The demon that could still stay standing up anymore fell down with his back facing the ground.
The dagger that was stabbed into his back got pushed inside, but instead of killing him it made him roar in pain.
Enco, who had been over taxing himself by using shadow movement skill again and again, appeared in front of the now limbless demon who was coughing out blood like a waterfall.
He looked at him with craziness in his eyes and said, “You fucking pussy. Who the fuck told you to turn into a demon? Why the fuck did you even hate me so much? The only thing I did was to kick your butt once and nothing more. You couldn’t even bare that much shame.”
He said that and stabbed his other dagger straight into the demons heart.
The demon cried out in pain, blood came gushing out of mouth.
The assassin removed both of daggers from the demons body and attacked his neck from the right side, but the demon roared and fired a concentrated ball of mana at the assassin.
Enco got scared and hurriedly used another shadow displacement skill, but before he could completely close the hole the blast happened and he got engulfed in it.
But unfortunately for the demon, Enco was too fast to get harmed by something like that.
Another hole opened behind his back and the death god came out of it.
The demon was still alive, but had only a head attached to his chest. His roaring never stopped and the red eyes kept on menacingly looking at Enco. If staring could kill, then the assassin would have died hundreds of time by now from the demons stares.
“So what the hell are you huh? What is this? I didn’t know pesky archers could turn into monsters?
Well, whatever. See you in hell.”
To his questions the demon replied with a roar.
He shrugged his shoulders, looked at him with crazy eyes and his dagger cut the demons neck in two.
The head flew and disappeared into the darkness.
*Ding*
*Ding*
*Ding*
Then I heard the amusing sound of notifications. I was going to check what I got, but he started walking again and I followed behind him.
