Chapter Title: Myeongwang Fist Technique 2 Stars
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Myeongwang Fist Technique 2 Stars.
The Legendary-grade Myeongwang Fist Technique hammered into Rakandra.
Ugh!
Rakandra took several hits with a bewildered expression before finally starting to defend.
He even counterattacked, dealing damage hefty enough to drastically reduce Jeong Hoons health.
As expected of one who had ascended to the Heavenly Realm, he was on a whole different level from the previous foes.
Thwack!
Jeong Hoons Myeongwang Fist Technique smashed into the demons face, and as if waiting for it, the demons black claws raked across Jeong Hoons face.
Debuff: Curse of Blood has been applied.
Judgment of Death and now Curse of Blood.
Dispel is used.
But the Dispel took effect, removing the Debuff: Curse of Blood.
Advanced Healing is used.
Jeong Hoon immediately used Advanced Healing to quickly mend the wound on his face.
His depleted health recovered, and he pressed the assault on the demon once more.
Amid the ongoing exchange of blows, Rakandras health rapidly dwindled.
Great Demon Rakandra: 89.9
He had brought the health below 90.
The punch just now had shaved it from 90 to 89.9.
Judgment of Death count does not activate.
With that, he successfully cleared the condition for the Judgment of Death to trigger.
However, the Judgment of Death itself did not vanish and still lingered.
Within 30 minutes, reduce Great Demon Rakandras health below 70.
Failure to do so will reduce your health to 0, resulting in death.
A new condition for non-activation was presented.
This one required keeping the health below 70 for 30 minutes.
The difficulty had spiked compared to the first condition.
The reason lay in the demons next ability.
You damned human! Ill stake everything I have to erase you without a trace!
Rakandras face twisted viciously in rage.
Great Demon Rakandra uses Recovery.
Rakandras body glowed for an instant, and his health returned to 100.
Thats why the difficulty ramps up.
The recovery ability the demon could use.
It was limited to five times per day.
Yet he had already used it onceto trigger the Judgment of Death inflicted on Jeong Hoon.
Great Demon Rakandra uses Serenade of Despair.
Rakandra unleashed another ability, as if determined to end it for good this time.
The first pattern that had terrified and wiped out the initial humans he encountered.
That first pattern began.
To survive and dodge this pattern required defending against a total of twelve attacks.
Of course, like with the dungeons other demons, there was a way to skip the pattern.
Jeong Hoon pulled out the Eye of Oblivion, purchased alongside the Frozen Curse of Ures.
A consumable item costing a whopping 30,000 achievement points each.
Eye of Oblivion activates.
Shining the Eye of Oblivion at Rakandra caused the demons eyes to lose focus for a moment.
An eye that could make one specified ability slip the targets mind for 60 minutes.
Usable only after an ability activated, so Jeong Hoon had waited for the demon to use it.
Serenade of Despair. That one has to be skipped no matter what.
Dodging all four unfolding attack phases would take considerable time.
That would inevitably trigger the current Judgment of Death.
Jeong Hoon drove his fist straight into the demons gut.
The fist brimmed with 3-star energy.
Guhk!
The unfocused eyes snapped back with the impact.
A groan escaped Rakandras lips.
The Myeongwang Fist Techniques damage had grown stronger than before.
And it didnt end there.
Formless Fist activates.
The Formless Fist that triggered with every punch thrown.
Additional attack power increases by 20.
Number of strikes 2 applied.
Thats right.
Whenever Jeong Hoon landed effective hits on Rakandra with the Myeongwang Fist Technique, 2 additional strikes applied, resulting in three effective hits total.
Moreover, the longer the battle dragged on, the stronger the Myeongwang energy imbued in his fists grew.
Great Demon Rakandra: 68.4
The health drained even faster, and soon he fulfilled the condition for the Judgment of Death count not to activate.
Great Demon Rakandra uses Recovery.
Rakandras body glowed once more, restoring his health to 100.
You think this pittance can defeat me?
Rakandra sneered and reached out toward Jeong Hoon.
Great Demon Rakandra uses Demons Grasp.
70 of health is stolen.
The demons next ability.
Jeong Hoons health was robbed by 70, leaving only 30.
Since it was stolen, it couldnt be recovered with holy power.
The stolen health added to the demon, boosting his 100 health to a soaring 150.
Within 30 minutes, reduce Great Demon Rakandras health below 50.
Failure to do so will reduce your health to 0, resulting in death.
Another condition attached, now requiring him to shave off over 100 health within 30 minutes.
Yeah. Youre gonna die by my hand.
Jeong Hoon nodded and unleashed the Myeongwang Fist Technique anew.
Now, his fists rippled with 6-star energy.
The amplified attack power combined with Formless Fist allowed him to resume pounding Rakandra.
Rakandra sneered in response.
What a ridiculous human.
With those words, a massive scythe materialized in Rakandras hand.
He had transitioned to the next pattern.
Jeong Hoons eyes gleamed as if he had been waiting, and he thrust a fist into Rakandras chest.
Boom!
Rakandras eyes bulged wide.
The way to skip the pattern.
It involved striking when the demon gripped the scythe.
Upon gripping the scythe, the demons vital point was exposed for a brief moment.
Dealing sufficient damage to that vital point at that instant would stiffen the body for a few seconds.
How can you expose your own weakness like this?
Jeong Hoon grinned and battered Rakandra relentlessly.
The health plummeted rapidly.
A weakness...? Did I have a weakness?
Rakandras mind was utter chaos as he got pummeled.
He had only meant to end the farce and unleash his ability decisively.
Who would have thought a weakness existed in the process of manifesting it.
His pride shattered in tandem.
To have a weakness even he was unaware of seen through by a mere human.
Health dropping fast...!
Moreover, the humans attacks grew unimaginably stronger over time.
The energy rippling in that fist.
It had thickened to an incomparable degree from the start.
It seemed the ability strengthened the longer the battle lasted.
This was truly dangerous.
Now! My bodys moving!
Rakandra desperately willed his body to move, and as the stiffness wore off, the hand clutching the black scythe rose upward.
Great Demon Rakandra uses Deaths Guidance.
Human, this ends you.
Rakandra slammed the black scythe into the ground.
An ability boasting a staggering 4,500 attack power.
It even ignored 100 of defense, making it impossible for even the most skilled human to block.
Even if one survived, theyd be left on the brink, triggering the Judgment of Death and sealing their doom.
In the end, Rakandra was the victor in this battle.
Or so it should have been.
Told you. Youre dying by my hand.
Jeong Hoon stood unscathed, gripping the scythe.
Rakandras pupils trembled finely at the sight.
H-How...?!
Simple.
Jeong Hoons left hand gripped the scythe, but his right clutched an artifact.
Two-Faced Ludbeckia (One-Time Use)
-Type: Artifact
-Grade: Legendary
-An artifact containing the magic favored by Two-Faced Ludbeckia.
-Absorbs an opponents attack, then returns it in kind.
-Destroyed after one use.
An artifact bought by scraping together his remaining achievement points.
Jeong Hoon had prepared it precisely because he knew the demons patterns inside out.
Absorbed Great Demon Rakandras Deaths Guidance.
Releasing Deaths Guidance.
Farewell.
Activating the artifact, Jeong Hoon unleashed Deaths Guidance upon Rakandra.
Kuaaaagh!
Great Demon Rakandra: 15.2
Health slashed to 15 in an instant.
At that moment, the demons nape glowed red.
A new vital point that appeared when health fell below 20.
Transcendent bastards.
Rakandra was no more than their pawn.
They had deliberately planted a few vital points to allow humanity a fighting chance.
Among them, the nape was the most vulnerable.
Jeong Hoon drove his fist toward the vital point.
Boom!
Gah!
Rakandra screamed and went limp.
You are the first to defeat Great Demon Rakandra! 100,000 achievement points awarded.
10,000 points awarded.
Title Demon Slayer acquired.
You have subjugated one who ascended to the heavens! Obtained 0.2 of Ultimate Energy from the unknown realm.

Bonus stat 1 awarded.

UniqueLegendary Grade Item Chest (Random) acquired.
A flood of messages poured in.
Impressive...
The rewards for defeating Rakandra exceeded imagination.
And then.
You have defeated the owner of the Tutorial Dungeon. All dungeons open on Earth vanish simultaneously.
With Rakandras defeat, every dungeon that had opened across the globe vanished at once.
Users who had been clearing the dungeons without issue were thrown into chaos.
The demons awake!
Damn it!
What?! Its not supposed to appear until we break the gem, right?!
Following HoneyTubes, they shattered the gem and swiftly felled the demon with Frozen Curse of Ures.
That made it an incredibly easy dungeon, but if the demon awoke, all bets were off.
Beyond blocking the gem destruction, it entered an invincible state immune to Frozen Curse of Ures.
Its strength defied imagination.
Parties who entered together couldnt even mount a proper resistance.
Ill grind you all to dust.
The demon sneered and activated its ability.
Demon Barion uses Storm of Ruin.
The sky darkened, and whirlwinds raged.
The whirlwinds pressed in from all sides.
Shit!
W-Were... dead...
Pale-faced, they lost even the will to flee.
Foolish humans. Die here... Guhk!
In that instant, the demons face froze, then it screamed and vanished.
The raging whirlwinds dissipated.
W-What...?
Those on the verge of death blinked in stunned confusion, scanning their surroundings.
A message appeared before them.
The owner of the Tutorial Dungeon has been defeated. All dungeons vanish.
Please exit the dungeon via the portal.
With word of the Tutorial Dungeons owner defeated, a portal spawned before them.
The owners been defeated...?
There was an owner?
Anyway, we survived...
Man... Thought we were goners.
They exited through the portal.
Outside, they saw street-prowling monsters vanishing too.
Dungeons and monstersall gone.
I-Is it over?
Seems like it...?
