Chapter 54 Raum, Scavenger Demon



[ Raum (9th Stage Health Seeker/Tier 1 Demon Knight) - A scavenger-type demon that roams around the third and fourth floors of the demon. They will eat and do anything to survive. But they won\'t band together with other demons, not even its own kind. ]

"Hmm," Benimaru rubbed his chin, pondering over the information about this demon. \'So, this thing is from the top floors of the demon realm.\'

Then Benimaru started to decide if he should take this demon as his general or just as a simple underling. The more he thought this through, the more he felt this one should be his underling, not a general. 

The reason for this was because he didn\'t like the nature of Raum. Benimaru could guess it mutated into something stronger after receiving his blood essence, but he would always be annoyed and frustrated by its behavior. It\'s clearly said that this type of demon doesn\'t even mix with their own race, so how might it not betray him in the future? Who could put a bet on that?

He picked Ragnar, despite being a low-level meatscraper was because he liked his personality and nature, which were full of enthusiasm and vigorous. 

As for Ravenna, we don\'t have to say anything about her.

"Ragnar." Benimaru called Ragnar, catching his attention. "I have a task for you. Do you think you can do it?"

Ragnar said it with seriousness. "Yes, my lord. No matter how dangerous it might be, I will try."

"Haha," Benimaru said with a soft chuckle before pointing his finger at Raum. "It isn\'t as dangerous as you think. You just have to beat that guy."

Ragnar was surprised a little, but got excited. "Lord, I will fulfill this with all of my heart."

Without looking back at Benimaru and Ravenna a little, he quickly walked toward the Raum.

Ravenna couldn\'t help but say this after seeing Ragnar leave like this. "He looks very excited."

"Yes, that is expected." Benimaru nodded his head, agreeing with what Ravenna said.

Benimaru knew why Ragnar was like this, and it was mostly because of his bloodline. Martial Demons were known for their battle enthusiasm, so it wasn\'t hard to guess why, and the final reason was mostly to try his new skills.

\'Also, let me see how good this martial demon bloodline is.\' Benimaru also had his motives for sending Ragnar and not going by himself.

He wanted to see how a demon with the martial demon bloodline from the bottom layers of the demon realm fared against a demon knight who was at the top of the demon realm. He was also curious what tier Ragnar might be in.

The ranking of demons was given to identify a demon\'s power and influence. Not everyone could see a demon\'s power. So, the people of this world would put a demon on a tier list for everyone to know what kind of power the demons hold of.

It made it easier for everyone to avoid them and easier to hunt when needed, as they could go prepared.

The tier list was absolute and believed by everyone because of how fast they were edited when a certain change happened. 

This list had a simple rule of identifying which demon could be on which tier. 

If a demon has strength from the 6th to the 9th stage in any major realm and is able to control a specific area for its tier, it will be a tier-1.

If a demon has strength from the 1st to the 3rd stage in any major realm and is able to control a specific area for its tier, it will be a tier-2.

If a demon has strength from the 4th to the 5th stage in any major realm and is able to control a specific area for its tier, it will be a tier-3.

This cycle repeats itself, and you have a complete demon ranking.

Crunch

Raum leisurely chewed on the last of the hands, which were fingers. He ate them like french fries, not caring about the blood that was splattered all over its body.

At that moment, its ears twitched as it heard the rustling sound of leaves coming from the side.

It looked in that direction and saw a demon in human clothes walking toward it.

Raum was first excited as it thought a human might have come, but no, it was just a fellow demon. Still, it wasn\'t like it would let go of him just because Ragnar was a demon. It will show him what he would pay for intruding on its territory.

"Hey, care to come down here?" Ragnar first tried to communicate with it. "I want- "

But his words came to a halt when he saw the sharp claws shining before his face.

[ Counter ]

Ragnar backhanded the claw to his right side, making Raum miss him. Then, using that force, he diverted the attack to its left shoulder.

Khich

Its claw ripped away a part of its left shoulder, taking it by complete surprise. It didn\'t even have the time to scream as Ragnar gave a backhanded punch with his left hand, this time on Raum\'s face, making it spin midair.

Rangar went for a killing blow on its head, but at that moment, the tail on its back shot toward Ragnar like an arrow, making Ragnar halt his punch, instead go into defense. 

Puchi! 

But he failed to do so as the sharp tail end pierced his shoulder.

Eventually making both parties separate from themselves and take in the moment of the battle that conspired.

Ragnar looked at his bleeding right hand and the pierced left shoulder, which were now healed. "That was something; you took me both times in complete surprise. Which is a shame to me, I hope the Lord didn\'t see it."

"But, it won\'t happen again." Ragnar\'s face turned serious as he focused all of his senses on the Raum before him. "I will surely take you down now."

The Raum was confused as to why Ragnar was babbling in the first place, but that quickly went away as its heart got filled with anger, someone who came to its territory, injured it and was probably threatening it to surrender. How could it not get angered?

Quickly healing its injury, the Raum began to prepare itself to kill the foe in front of it.

A small standoff happened between them, but that only lasted for seconds as the Raum couldn\'t hold its patience like Ragnar.

It dashed toward Ragnar and appeared beside him in seconds.

Ragnar\'s eyes widened in shock. \'I knew it. This one has unbelievable speed!\'

But it wasn\'t like Ragnar couldn\'t keep up with that kind of speed. He captured the moment when it had to stop beside him to attack and took that chance to counterattack.

Ragner bent his body backward, dodging the swipe it did. However, there was a follow-up attack of its tail from behind Ragnar.

Without much thought, Ragnar leaped in the air a little and rotated his body, dodging that attack too.

Then he smacked the Raum\'s head with his fist while spinning his body, trying to get more force behind that attack.

Bam!

The top of Raum\'s head got squashed like a potato as if a hammer was smashed onto its head, and the force behind that smack shot its head to the ground,

Bang

Its head smashed into the ground, and its body went limp along with it.

This made Ragnar scared, as he was ordered to defeat it and let Benimaru subdue it later; if it was killed, he might get punished.

But to Ragnar\'s surprise, the moment he landed on the ground and took his guard down, the tail again shot toward him.

He quickly put both of his palms in its direction, which didn\'t help but just pierce through them. However, he wanted to do just that, so he quickly grabbed the tail while it was pierced into his palms.

Rip!

He ripped apart the sharp tail head, completely destroying it.

Yes, Demons were known for their healing capabilities, but there were restrictions. If their horns, tail, and wings get damaged, they can\'t be healed, at least not in conventional ways.

So, Ragnar had completely eliminated one of Raum\'s attack methods, making him sigh in relief. Then he looked at the heavily injured Raum, who stood in its place like a zombie with its head still smashed. 

"KRAAAAA!" After giving a loud scream, the injuries on its body got healed. However, that wasn\'t the only thing that changed, the rosyness on its body vanished, and it became a bit more thinner. Ragnar could also feel a strong energy brewing inside the Raum\'s body.

This made Ragnar laugh at himself. "I can\'t believe I underestimated my own race. I guess I still have many things to learn."

"Benimaru, what happened?" Ravenna asked curiously, seeing the sudden change and the power surging inside the Raum\'s body. She wasn\'t worried about Ragnar, as if the situation got dire, they would be ready to go in to help.

Benimaru answered, rubbing his chin. "It seems to have sacrificed the blood essence of the humans it ate that it stored inside this entire time."
