Chapter 131 - Barakdoros (2/2)
With nothing to do, he went to the centre of the array on the floor and sat down. He waited there for a few minutes before he could hear a scraping sound from the tunnel to the room. A demon about 7 feet tall wearing pitch-black leather armor. It held a large halberd and wore a large cloak which would easily cover another human along with it. It had thick arms with bulging muscles and a stifling aura that would numb most minds who aren't used to bloody fights.
[Barakdoros] (Minor Demon)
Level 15;
HP: 10000/10000;
”You guys and your tricks,” laughed the demon as he saw Shadow in the room. It held the halberd at Shadow and jumped at him trying to impale him with the halberd. Shadow managed to side step it and throw a dagger at the demon managing to make a deep cut on its weapon hand. Thought the demon was at level 15 and Shadow at level 13, his attributes were high enough to match and even beat the demon due to the effect of the pair of unique armaments he had on him.
”If you were a bit slower, I would have definitely disarmed you with that,” said Shadow. The demon seemed to be looking down at him and laughed at Shadow as soon as it entered the room. So, taunting it to anger it was a good idea. As in any game, taunts tend to excite the opponent. Verbal taunts were the simplest ones in vita-nova.
”You are a strong one,” said the demon uncaring of his taunt and examining him. This behaviour made Balthazar realize that the demon is a monster of higher intelligence and it wouldn't be easy for him to defeat the demon.
Taunting and irritating monsters to excite them and using this to fool them into circ.u.mstances was a well-used practice in his past life, but there were always exceptions. Some monsters had higher intelligence which wouldn't be easily taunted. Some were even more intelligent and could cast skills that put the mind of the player in an aggressive mood and would cause the players to be the ones to be affected by the monsters' taunts. Those were a nightmare for most players.
”It had to be an intelligent one,” cursed Balthazar in his mind. ”Well, I guess at least this had to be expected from the quest, since the demon is the only monster I encountered in the entire quest.”
The demon tried a few more attempts to attack Shadow, but his speed allowed him to evade them and land a couple more hits on the demon. It was sort of a stalemate and they were trying to circle each other. Though he managed to evade the attacks, Shadow knew that if he took the attack it would have a strong blowback effect and also cause high damage.
Shadow could see that the demons was also waiting and taking its time to attack him rather than continue with a series of quick attacks like other monsters and beasts. He suddenly realized something and began to look at its health bar.
”Shit, it might be a minor demon, but it definitely has some kind of secret,” thought Balthazar as he saw the rate of its recovery. It was healing at about 100 HP per second. This was quite high for a demon of its level. A 1% recovery rate would usually only be seen in higher demons or at the very least middle order demons. So, the recovery rate immediately made put him on the guard.
”So, you noticed,” said the demon suddenly as if it had realized that the adventurer in front of it noticed the peculiarity. ”I am not the usual minor demons you find in these areas. It won't be that easy to defeat me.”
