The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want A Fourth Time: Rise Of The Demon Knight

As my 12th birthday came near my father Dalion a dark elf with black hair and jade green eyes told me that I will join him and his group on a hunting trip

But not that kind of hunting trip where you hunt weak animmals for food but the kind where we hunt monsters so it won´t come to a stampede. I was quite exited as the monsters close to the village where nothing but target practice before me and you could encounter Rank 5 monsters on a regular pattern with small chance of a rank 6 appearing.

As my powers rose I could be compared to a C-class adventurer as of now and I have a live span of 3000 to 5000 years so I can grow quite high. As for my status

Well I was quite happy about this chance but knew a certain indivudual that won´t be that happy about me leaving the village.

„Why can´t I come with you? I am strong and you are even stronger together with the other hunters nothing can stand against us." Neria complained after she got told that she wasn´t allowed to join the group.

„It can´t be helped after all I am an ecxeption from the rules as you usually have to be an a.d.u.l.t but after my status can rival an C-Class adventurer I got the allowance" I said to her and our discuttion went on changing to small talk somewhere.

I could see my and nerias mother looking at us from a corner laughing but I didn´t mind them as this became a little habit of them and I also gave up to escape this cliche as I deemed it impossible. And so we nearly spend the rest of the day chatting.

The next morning my father and I went to meet the rest of the group I wore a metallic armor what actually even surprised me as I thought elves would rather use leather armor or something like that but I was totally wrong with that. In this village lives a blacksmith that was famous enough to be known in the entire kingdom and every duke wanted him in their dukedom and he made this armor a long time ago for who he didn´t want to say but he still gave it to me with the words that I would resemble that person.

Well as for my sword it was curved and made for my size. The rest of the group wore all kinds of equipment one could think of as I introduced myself a man came near to me

„Hey Dalion this isn´t ok you know? Bringing your brat with you on this trip"

He said after he took a look on me to which my father only said

„Don´t say that Aldrion he has got some Level 5 skills and his overall abilities are at least C-Class at that age how strong are you now could you gurantee a victory over him? I think not."

Aldrion backed away apparently he was also on C-Class if we used Adventurers ranks. I tried to pacify him

"Now now please don´t be like that we can´t measure our abilities only be levels and stats it will be decided on how we actually perform"

At my remark an elder mage came forth

„Haha Dale your son speaks truly wise I think of it as truly sad that a 12 year old is wiser that you 150 year olds. So now let´s see what your son is capable of"

The mage named Bercli said and all went quiet as we started the hunt. After 2 hours we reached the mid-level of the nest and the rank 5 monsters started to attack us. I was surprised to see so many attacking us but they all fell before us and I even killed three of them. As we made a break on a sea Aldrion came to me again

„I´m sorry that I underrestimated you boy no Valkorion you are really strong" he said

„Thats not true I´m still weak compared to mum and I lack expirience if I want to make my dream to be an hero true I have still a long way to go" I replied and Aldrion laughed

„Haha you know what lacks you and you have a big dream I think with you talent you can reach your wish within a couple of years"

I only could look at him as I didn´t understood how he changed so fast from „You weakling" to „You are really strong" in just 3 hours I mean yeah I killed Rank 5 monsters but hell man this quick development.

„He indeed is promising he might be able to challenge a Rank 6 with assistance" Bercli said with a smile as he apeared out of nowhere

„You really think that Bercli?" I asked him and he laughed

„But of course I personally think that all of us might be able to challange Rank 7 if you are with us" He said that and all I could think of was ,please don´t trigger a flag old man this can be dangerous, „Don´t say something like that if truly a rank 7 appeared we can only pray that we make it home and Alleana kills it"

Aldrion said so and now I was sure we would encounter one at least. After the break we proceeded further into the forest killing as many monsters as possible and my kill count went up to 7 Rank 5 monsters even some of my combat-related skills leveled which made it easy for me afterwards and then as we were on the turning point it appeared

„A MANTICOR!!!!" one screamed

Indeed there was a manticor right before us it roared at us and stared at us

„Something is off" Bercli remarked and he was right usually the manticore would have attacked us already and then I noticed something

„His leg is wounded" indeed it had a deep wound on it´s leg which was why it couldn´t run

„If we can´t take it down now I can´t return home with face high" Bercli said and stepped forward and one after another followed him

„Let´s take it down man" Aldrion shoted and we attacked the manticore fearlessly every one used all his powers to render him unable to act but still some got hit

[Firestorm Blade] I enchanted my sword with my fire wind combo and cut of the manticores sting while everyone else attacked it´s flanks and the mages barraged it with magic

Still this beast didn´t wnat to die. It had cuts, burns and arrows all over his body yet this bastard didn´t fell.

As most of us were at the end of their powers those that still could fight me included as my Stamina recovery skill helped out on that a lot stood on the front

„Let´s focus our attacks on his head or neck" I said and the 6 still standing man accepted my suggestion the sole reason why this plan wasn´t already executed was that the manticore´s sting killed everything that would come close to it but as I cut off this sting we now could do so.

While 4 would keep it busy the other three would attack. As the manticore himself seems to be at his end we could proceed with our plan without any difficulties exept the hard mane which coffered the head so I used magic enchantments to cut through it

In combination with a sword skill [Stormblade] [Sharpblade] [Triple rotating slash] with this three cuts left a rather deep mark on the neck and the other two kept hitting this spot till the head fell of after I saw the head fall everything around me went dark and I could only hear my announcements

After we returned and I was welcomed by Neria and my mother we counted the loses out of the 36 man who went out 7 died, 12 were heavily wounded while the rest had scratches or other minor wounds my training was postponed for a week because of these events but after that it went pretty normal and I went to a hunt once a month also for training reasons and so my live went on

[You have acquired the skill, Mental Corruption!]
