Awakening to a Special-Grade Explorer

Book 3: Chapter 105

Chapter 105

As if it was obvious, Tenji laughed and stepped forward, and Chaewon and Mina could only stare at his back. They couldn't stop him.

A fifth-grade swordsman had no chance of winning against Black Keroberos.

Nonetheless, Tenji stepped forward to protect the other two.

"Tenji! Don't!" Pyne's angry voice sounded from somewhere distant.

But Tenji did not stop, and only laughed, saying "It's all right," and headed towards Black Keroberos.

Chaewon and Mina did not know what Tenji was thinking. Had they already been judged as useless in the fight and Tenji decided to be their rearguard? From the Dagger in Tenji's hand, they felt a terrifying sense of fear.

The Iron Sword, which Tenji should have used, was now stuck in the ground beside Chaewon, and Tenji was holding a new type of Dagger that no one had ever seen before, not even in auctions or online sites.

Only this fact gave Chaewon and Mina a glimmer of trust in Tenji.

Some of their classmates had already begun to notice. How could a fifth-grade swordsman enter the prestigious Mallorca Escuela? They felt that Tenji had some sort of secret.

"Wait! Tenji!" Mina desperately called out, with tears in her eyes. She limped forward, trying to grab Tenji's hand.

All Chaewon could do was watch from behind. She was too scared to move.

At that moment, Black Keroberos naturally opened its mouth.

"Grrrrrroeeeeh!"

That laser attack was mercilessly fired straight at Tenji's forehead.

"Even though they knew it was out of reach, Mina and Chewon reached out their hands with all their might. But the Japanese boy, Tenji, who was with them, was really kind. That little bit of time drove them to desperately try to reach him. But they still couldn't reach him. That's how it was supposed to be.

"Huh?"

"Wha!?"

Mina and Chaewon were speechless as they watched Tenji standing unscathed in front of them. Seeing that abnormal sight, they dropped their weapons without realizing it.

Tenji was looking at the burning red demon short sword with interest.

"I see...if President Limey hadn't interfered, dealing with it would have been easy. And the performance of the Red Demon Dagger can be fully understood."

Tenji easily avoided the laser attack with the Dagger.

His movements were not those of a fifth-grade swordsman, but clearly surpassed even the reaction speed of the three of them.

That fact left the three of them confused.

Suddenly, Tenji turned his gaze to Pyne.

"Pyne, take a break now. I'll take care of the rest."

"...Is this Tenji's secret?"

Pyne tilted his head and asked.

"Yeah, this is my secret. You noticed it after all, sorry."

"You don't have to apologize."

"Thanks."

Pyne had already noticed that Tenji was hiding something.

But since Tenji didn't want to talk about it, Pyne thought it was something she shouldn't ask about.

So, as usual, Pyne faced Tenji with her passionate personality.

Tenji felt a little relieved to have Pyne, who was so quick to understand him.

"Greoooohh..."

"Black Kerberos, huh?... I wonder what kind of fate we have, are we connected by the thread of destiny?"

Black Keroberos barked warily at Tenji, who had easily evaded its attack. He crouched down lower than usual and positioned himself to be ready for anything.

However, Tenji began speaking to Black Keroberos, almost as if talking about himself.

It was a nostalgic and scary enemy he faced. He couldn't help but remember that day, when he didn't have the power he had now. When he was just Tenji, a mere luggage carrier.

It was when Tenji almost died at the hands of Black Keroberos that he awakened his true calling. No, he was already half-dead at that time.

At that moment, for some insane reason, Tenji ingested Black Keroberos's eye into his body.

And then----he awakened to the special grade calling "Hell Beast Summoning"

It was a past he didn't want to remember and had relegated to the corner of his memory.

But now was a good opportunity to erase that past. Tenji had decided to fight Black Keroberos with all his might.

[My status values are still only half a first-grade level. To be honest, my overall stats don't necessarily surpass Black Keroberos. But if I combine the power of the ring and the hell weapon that Chigo-chan lent me, there is more than enough chance to win.]

Tenji rolled open the "Book of Enma", being careful not to be noticed, and started combining the best equipment he could use at the moment.

Since he had removed everything before the exam, he put them back on again.

["Red Demon Ring," "Red Demon Bangle," "Red Demon Necklace," "Red Demon Earring," "Red Demon Ankle Bracelet"... Summoning "Red Demon Claw Sword" and "Red Demon Gloves"... Activating Skills "Drunkenness," "Drum pulse,"......]

After mentally preparing himself, a red and black glove-shaped claw appeared on Tenji's fists. A small ring-shaped dagger was attached to the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

Four invisible pieces of equipment were instantly attached to his body, and Tenji's status values reached the current highest level.

When he reaches his full potential, only Tenji's attack power and speed demonstrate stats comparable to those of a professional first grade explorer, and his attack power exceeds that by far. His other stats are not so different from those of an ordinary first grade explorer, but in Tenji's fighting style, as long as he has speed and attack power, there is no problem. In addition, the effects of various Red Demon series are added.

Currently, these are the skills Tenji has activated:

Passive skill 'Debuff Drunkenness' has a 20% chance of causing the enemy to become intoxicated. [Red Demon Dagger]

Passive skill 'Explosion' has a 10% chance of adding a blast effect (300%) to an attack. [Red Demon Gloves]

Passive skill 'Penetration' has a 50% chance of ignoring an enemy's defense. [Red Demon Claw Sword]

Active skill 'Strength Guidance' increases the user's attack power by 1.75 times. [Red Demon Bangle]

Active skill 'No Guidance' allows the user to manipulate hell weapons freely. [Red Demon Necklace]

Active skill 'Drum Pulse' increases all of the user's stats by 1.2 times. [Red Demon Earrings]

Active skill 'Drumbear Guidance' increases the probability effect of hell weapons by 1.5 times. [Red Demon Anklet]

"Grrrooo!?"

Without any preliminary movements, Tenji's equipment increased, causing Black Keroberos to let out a surprised voice. From behind, Mina's voice of "Eh?" and Chaewon's voice of "When did he...?" could be heard, but even at this point, Tenji had no intention of limiting the performance.

"Grooo!"

Black Keroberos, who had become impatient, attacked Tenji at full speed. Normally, one would run away, but Tenji was different.

"Come, First Goblin squad."

Twenty linked purple doors appeared directly under Black Keroberos. Black Keroberos was surprised that something huge appeared out of nowhere, but it continued to charge straight towards Tenji. However...

"Oni."

The First Goblin Squad, led by the Goblin with the Red Demon sword in hand, appeared from the ground and swung his sword towards Black Keroberos' belly, declaring that he would not let it pass through to his master. The Red Demon sword smoothly pierced Black Keroberos' belly, splattering blood everywhere.

Due to a surprise attack from an unexpected direction, Black Keroberos lost its balance in mid-air.

"Don't take your eyes off me, I'm right here," said Tenji as he approached rapidly.

With his red demon glove now equipped, he swung his left fist back.

"Groooo!?" Black Keroberos was distracted by the sudden appearance of the Goblins, and didn't notice Tenji's rapid approach until it was punched in the jaw.

At the same time, the passive skill "Explosion" was triggered, causing a blast that dealt 300% attack power.

Black Keroberos' cheek burst into pieces, and he was blown away uselessly backwards and upwards.

It hit the ground with a thud, rolling and trying to regain its balance, but it realized that its proud jaw had disappeared. It couldn't feel the sensation of its lower jaw, even when it tried to bite its teeth together.

With just one blow, he had been turned into minced meat.

Having lost a part of his own body, Black Keroberos finally recognized that the presence in front of him was a formidable opponent.

In his eyes, he saw a monster and twenty Goblins following him.

Their appearance was that of a king, and when Black Keroberos realized this, his body trembled with fear.

"Summon the second group of Goblins"

Around Tenji, twenty more Goblins were summoned.
