Chapter 6: The Demon Lord of the Scarlet Realm
Meanwhile,
Swish!
With a swishing sound, Ary arrived in the realm of the weakest demon lord, the Scarlet Realm.
He opened his eyes and looked around the area.
That area was heated.
The land was dry as if a drought had taken place. The surrounding was filled with haze in the mid-air. Within the fog, the shadows of the mountains were seen. However, they weren\'t mountains, they were inactive volcanoes. It seemed like it was located far away from where Ary was standing. In the sky, a red light was glinting. It was the light of the star of the planet, that was piercing through the haze and scattering everywhere.
"Hmmm…so, this is the realm of the weakest demon lord, huh?"
Ary mumbled while looking around.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, the book of Almita, which was attached to Ary\'s right arm, made a dinging noise, reporting,
<Yes, host. This realm is famously known as \'the Scarlet Realm.\'>
<Be aware of the beasts here. There is not only the demon lord but his minion as well.>
"Ah, I had already expected that."
Ary replied as he raised his right hand, calling,
"Oh, Book of Almita, grant me my weapon that enhances me the power to annihilate the evilness of this realm."
Swish!
Suddenly, a dark light surrounded his right hand and a black blade appeared on his right hand.
He grabbed the blade and looked at it.
<This is the cutter blade of death. The blade that is destined to be for you.>
Almita reported.
"Thanks a lot."
Ary closed his eyes for a while, then, opened them and for some reason, his black blade started emitting some white light around it.
"Ding!!"
Suddenly, Almita made an alarming noise, reporting,
<Host, be careful! The minions of the demon lord are approaching you.>
"AAAAAOOOOO!!"
But before Ary could even respond to it, a howling was heard from the left direction.
Clink!
While tightening the grip of his blade, Ary shifted his gaze toward the left by standing on alert.
"Grrr!!"
From the haze, a pack of wolves with raven blue skin and red eyes arrived around Ary. They were groaning in outrage after seeing the arrival of an uninvited guest.
<Information regarding minions of the demon lord.>
<Beast category:- Scarlet Nightmare.>
<Class:- C ranked.>
<Fire Resistance:- The ability to be physically immune to fire.>
<Weaknesses:- Coldness, especially cold water, and rapid speed.>
Almita informed Ary.
"Coldness and rapid speed, huh?"
Ary mumbled as he furrowed his eyebrows and glared at the Scarlet Nightmares.
<Host, remember, every skill will get unlocked after you manage to do any effort.>
<In simple terms, every action results in the awakening of a new skill.>
Almita reported.
"Wait…what?"
Ary was left puzzled after heeding this testimony, he mumbled,
"Isn\'t it the same as Newton\'s third law?"
"Grrr!! RAAAARRR!!"
However, one of the Scarlet Nightmare had lost his cool and jumped at Ary to attack.
"...?!"
Ary got alerted and swung his blade. Fortunately, the white light shone from his blade and the beast\'s body got cut in half.
<New skill discovered:- Dark Scar of Death.>
Almita reported.
"Hmph."
Ary smiled as he glanced at the other Scarlet Nightmares and commented,
"Let\'s have some fun, beasts."
"Grrr!!"
It looked like they got provoked by Ary.
"RAWRRRR!!"
However, this time, four of them flashed at Ary.
Ary closed his eyes for a second and while swinging his blade, he screamed,
"Dark Scar of Death!!"
Swoosh!!
A massive shockwave emitted out from his blade and within a fraction of a second, the Scarlet Nightmares were cut into pieces.
"Hmm…it looks like it isn\'t too hard either."
< Of course, host. Since you have me, you can auto-learn too. So, you can use any skill without much effort.>
<Congrats, you have unlocked a new skill.>
<New skill:- Fire resistance.>
"That\'s cool."
Ary gushed but suddenly, his face shaped a serious look, he pondered,
\'They are just the minions. The main threat is the demon lord.\'
"Grrr!!
The remaining Scarlet Nightmare clenched their big teeth in anger and the next moment, they opened their jaws and some fire started collecting on their jaws.
Ary got alerted as he twisted his right body a little backward and swung his blade, roaring,
"Dark Scar of Death!!"
Some Scarlet Nightmares lunged up to dodge the shockwave while some were left to the ground.
BOOOOOOOM!!
The shockwave hit the Scarlet Nightmares that were on the ground. However,
"GRRRRAAAAAAAA!!!"
The nightmares that were in mid-air, blasted the fireball toward Ary.
Ary noticed the fireball, but for some reason, he didn\'t move from his place, and in the next moment,
BAAAAAAAM!
The area got blown up with dust and smoke scattered in the area.
The Scarlet Nightmares started retreating since they thought that Ary might be dead from the attack.
However, the case was different.
"Yo, going somewhere?"
"...?!"
They turned around in an instant after hearing a familiar voice.
The smoke vanished and Ary was seen, standing in the centre of the crater, completely unharmed.
"That\'s my fire resistance, after all."
He smiled and tightened the grip of his blade.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, Almita made a dinging noise, reporting,
<New skill has been unlocked.>
<New skill:- Nightmare Assault.>
"Hmph."
Ary realised what he had to do, so without wasting any more time, he flashed at the Nightmares and raved,
"Nightmare Assault!!!"
Swish!!
In a split of seconds, he crossed paths with them, and with a creaking sound, the bodies of the Scarlet Nightmares turned to dust.
"Phew~ it\'s finally done here."
Ary responded as he turned around and took a sigh of relief.
"Ding!"
Again, Almita made a dinging noise, reporting,
<Congratulations, host. You have levelled up from Rank B to Rank A.>
<A new skill has been unlocked.>
<New Skill:- Status gawking eyes.>
"Status gawking eyes?"
Ary repeated.
<Yes, host. This ability helps you in seeing the power level of any person you want.>
Almita informed him.
"Ah…I see."
Ary replied.
\'To think that it can help me in every aspect…I think I can do anything without much effort then.\'
While he started to muse in his thoughts, unexpectedly, the ground started trembling as if an earthquake had occurred.
"What the?!"
Ary responded as he looked around with an alarmed look.
BOOOOOOOM!!!!
Suddenly, the inactive volcanoes of the Scarlet Realm turned active and started erupting massive fire. The haze dissipated in mid-air, and the surroundings turned more reddish as the light of the red star became more noticeable to the surroundings.
"GRAAAAAWWRRRRRRRRR!!!"
Suddenly, a demonic roar was heard from the left.
"Ah?! Is that the—"
Ary commented with his wide-eyed expression due to shock. His gaze fell to the left and he noticed a monstrous figure approaching him.
"My God…"
Ary was left flabbergasted as he saw that figure.
The beast that he saw was most likely a werewolf, standing on his legs with metal claws on his hands and feet, and he glanced at Ary with wrath, that was completely emitting from his red bloody eyes.
He was wearing black ripped jeans and two stripes over his shoulder, and had a golden fixed crown on his head and a large scar on his right eye and chest. It looked like he had a bloody battle with someone before. He had a muscular body and a height three times greater than Ary\'s.
"Is that…the Demon Lord of this realm?"
Ary mumbled.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, a notification came on the book of Almita, it reported,
<The Demon Lord of the Scarlet Realm, Wolfra is found.>
<Rank:- SS-Rank.>
<Weakness:- Unknown.>
<Chance of winning:- Approximately 10℅>
"What?!"
Ary was left flabbergasted as he heard that the weakness was unknown and even the chance of winning was low than expected.
Ary gritted his teeth in dismay and tightened the grip of his blade, mumbling,
"Grr….I won\'t end just yet!"
