《Evolution of the Skeleton who walked alone in a Dungeon》Chapter 0045{Low-level Demon}

“So, what do we do then.”
“Like I said we need to observe, look at those demons, don’t they look a bit different than usual demons.”
“Different how?”
I forgot that they had never seen a real demon in their life. The demons had a distinctive, feature among them, unlike other beings, demons, possessed no soul, but I could see using the eyes of sage, that the demons in front had a soul resembling that of humans. Also, demons were not mindless beasts, even a low tier demon had more intelligence than an average human, yet the demons in this village showed no sign of intelligence. It looked like they were just smashing the things that were in front of them. They had a humanoid shape, but were more massive than humans, being low tier demons, they did not have a distinctive face, most of them looked alike, their color was also different, their jaws were wide, teeth coming out of their mouth, and bones like structure acting as a shield to their body.
The humans were panicking and running around, some were hiding in their house, some were trying to fight back.
“How do you think the demons got in here?” I asked
“How? By foot?”
“You, idiot, this kingdom has not yet fallen, this village is in the inner part of the kingdom, the demons could not have crossed the borders and come here.”
I used my eyes to have a more in-depth look into the village. Judging by the number of houses and the size of the town, the population should be around 2000. But the remaining people were about 100, and the number of corpses was around 1000. Did the rest evacuate?
I tried to look for a demon that was a bit different, to check whether this group had a leader or not, but there was none.

“Let’s leave.”
“Leave? Should not we try to kill one of the demons using the sword, that’s our task isn’t it?”
“Ahh, yes that our task.”
I did not care about that, but the church did give us a sword. I wondered what kind of sword it was.
“Appraisal”
Sword
Type: Normal Sword
A cheap sword made by low-quality metal. Forged by a newbie blacksmith.
Specialty: Covered in illusion magic to make it shine and look better.
Of course, it a useless sword, they wanted to send me to my demise, after all, they would not give me some kind of holy sword.
“So, do we kill a demon?”
I could not just tell them this was a cheap sword, and the church sacrificed you guys, they would not believe me.
“Yes, you guys stay here, I will do the killing.”
It was a cheap sword, but it did not matter to me, I walked ahead in the city, I closed my eyes, I used my senses to sense life force, every life force present within the town, I located them and memorized their location
“Lost Swordsmanship Second Form: Dance of the blade.”
With every location memorized, I simply cut through every one of them, if they were inside a building, they got cut with the entire building, if they were outside, they simply got sliced into pieces.
[You killed a Human]
[You killed a Human]
[You killed a Human]
[You killed a Human]

[You killed a Low-level Demon]
[You killed a Low-level Demon]
[You killed a Low-level Demon]
[You killed a Low-level Demon]
[You killed a Low-level Demon] *900
Ahh, I wanted to kill only demons, but when I sensed their life force to locate them, I forgot even humans were here, Well, who cares anyway

I returned, they had a look of surprise on their face, well at least they did not complain about me killing the humans.
Alva spoke in a quiet voice, “Look behind you.”
I looked back, the demons were regenerating. I was surprised. The system had already granted me experience points, the system would not have sent a message if I had not killed them, yet they were somehow regenerating.
But this time, they were different, now they had no soul, like proper demons, Did the souls provide them with an extra life?
Whatever I just had to kill them again, they were just regenerating in the same place, so their location had not changed,
“Lost Swordsmanship Second Form: Dance of the blade.”
I again, sliced all of them to pieces, but the notification did not pop, I looked at them they were still regenerating. And this time their recovery was even faster, just slicing them had no effect. These demons were different than regular demons, but they were still demons.
The cheap sword was on the verge of destruction, it was only holding on using my sword aura.
I threw it aside, “Morpheus.”
I took out my own sword and now, “Divine Flame.”
I surrounded Morpheus in divine flame since they were demons, the divine flames should work on them.
This time all the demons gathered and charged straight towards me.
“Lost Swordsmanship Fourth Form: Phantom Flash”
This time they did not regenerate, their bodies were covered in my flames, instantly vaporizing them.
[You killed a Low-level Demon]
[You killed a Low-level Demon]
[You killed a Low-level Demon]
[You killed a Low-level Demon]
[You killed a Low-level Demon] *900
Now, this time they were really dead.
The twins and Delvin were left in shock
“Wow, you are powerful.”
“Of course, I am.”
“But the sword, the sword that the church gave us why did you throw it away?”
“Oh, that it could not handle my aura and broke”
“Does that mean our task is complete? Can we now return?”
“Of course not, we just saw demons appearing out of nowhere, it’s our duty to investigate about it and find out more about the demons, besides I think I have a clue about how they appeared here.”
And I could not just let them go, my task was fully not completed yet.

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan

A long-lost concept. An existence said not to be real. Ancient means for unknown purposes. It was none other than Magical Girls ? But, who says that, in this day and age, they aren't real at all? A phenomenon can exist although one does not have the concept by which to recognize it. It all depends on how we activate it. Even if it costs me my life and everything precious to me I will prove they exist.
8 89The Father of All (Rewritten Version)
The Observer had always remained faithful to its duty, to learn and to remember all that would come to pass so that when its Creator returned, it would recount all that it had learned and remembered. But the Universe has stagnated, History repeats itself over and over and the Observer could learn nothing new. This would not do, how could it face its creator with what was basically repetition, monotonous, boring, repetition. But how would it break this looping cycle? How would it write the History of the Universe itself anew?
