Chapter 30: Don't Burden Yourself, Young Lord

"You fucking idiot," William scoffed as he grabbed its hand before it could use its ring blade to slash this dumb lich. It was just too easy as he smiled and raised his sword, "Now, bleed to death," Saying so, William plunged his sword into the chest of this skeleton demon.

"Urgh! You got me…" Asher said in a hoarse voice, making William feel like he should tell his friends about killing a dumb low-level lich. Surely, they would feel amused as well.

"Fooled ya, idiot!" Asher suddenly said as he pulled William's arm closer, making his sword go even deeper into his chest, and the tip of the blade even came out through his back.

"HEY!" William was taken by surprise when this demon grabbed his arm and made his sword go even deeper into his body. Who in their right mind would want to die faster? Or did it just want to die quickly?

But what baffled him even more was that this demon put its arm around his body as if hugging him, and quite firmly at that.

"Dumbass, how can I bleed to death when I don't even have blood?" Asher asked in a tone of ridicule while firmly locking his arms and body.

"You bony fuck!" William's face became red with anger and humiliation, seeing this low-level demon mocking him right to his face. But what shocked him was why this demon didn't seem to howl in pain or anything despite having a blade impaled to its chest. Even if it was an undead there should be some sort of reaction to such an attack. He still couldn't figure out what kind of demon this thing was, especially considering the eerie dark green flames blazing on its bones.

A level 1 like it should have already collapsed a while ago. Something wasn't adding up!

He decided to think about it later and first get off this creepy demon from his body.

But right when he was about to do that, he gasped as his eyes widened in shock, "URGH!"

With a horrified look, William slowly looked down as blood frothed in his mouth, only to see the upper half of a saber coming out of his chest.

"Not feeling so good anymore, human?" Jarius snickered from behind as he sneaked up behind and plunged his blade through William's back.

He didn't actually expect this low-level demon to buy him enough time to backstab this Hunter. But once he got a signal from him, it was just child's play, even though he was severely injured.

"Y-You…" William wanted to curse at this wretched demon for baiting him and curse at the vampire behind him as well for being so despicable as to attack him from behind.

As someone who came from a decent Hunter family, he considered it beneath him to attack somebody from behind. But he never expected that such a despicable act by the demons would put him in such a dangerous situation.

"Just die!" Jarius was frustrated and angry, especially after all the insults and humiliation William had made him face. He twisted and grinded William's flesh using his saber, making William grimace in excruciating pain and agony.

But aside from the fact that Jarius's backstab was not that strong due to his injuries, William came from a Hunter family and was someone who actually went through some training before becoming a Hunter.

"You demons think…I will go down that easily? Raargh!!" With a wild cry mixed with his pain and anger, he kicked Hellbringer right in the chest, knocking him backward, and then headbutted the vampire behind him.

"Argh! My eye!" Jarius howled as he also stumbled back from William's sudden attack, not expecting him to still be able to move after taking a blade in the chest. But apparently, he had no idea he had missed William's heart, unlike his expectations.

Blood was continuously dripping out of William's mouth as he turned around to face Jarius. The level 1 demon was not his priority since he knew only Jarius was capable of hurting him really bad.

But his face had already become pale as his entire body was aching from within, especially his chest. With gritted teeth, he picked up his sword as he weakly walked towards Jarius, "You…will…die by my sword…"

Jarius' right arm was still useless and bleeding. He could still use his left arm but was barely holding onto his saber.

"Why can't you just die already…" Jarius was panicking inwardly since he didn't know if he could take one more attack from William. Even if William might bleed to death soon, he might be the first one to die if William attacks. But maybe if he put every strength in his body into his blade, then he could come out victorious. This was going to be the most difficult moment in his life.

If Asher had lips now, he would be having a wide smile on his face as he got up. He didn't mind that he wasn't able to even land a single attack since he didn't even try. If he could use Jarius to take care of William, why should he try hard?

He had 50 MP left, which was more than enough to end this. All he had to do was risk it a little.

He saw how both the Hunter and the little lord were in a face-off with each other, both standing on the cliff of death where a simple push was enough to tilt any one of them to the netherworld.

But his eyes shone as he knew what he had to do.

"Hey! I will get the armor set for you, young lord!"

William's eyes widened as he turned around to see that demon named Hellbringer standing near the Kronus' Armor Set, which was the main reward of this dungeon. The reason he even risked his life and bled a lot was to take that armor set home. After all, who wouldn't want an armor set that could increase one's HP by 50 as a bonus!

It may not seem much, but 50 HP can make a life-and-death difference for those around his level.

He didn't expect this level 1 demon to actually use the distraction to try to grab the armor set for himself. Such a possibility never dawned on his mind due to the sudden turn of events.

But,

*Slash!*

"Aargh!" William's face contorted with pain as he stumbled forward and fell upon having his back slashed by Jarius.

"You never learn, do you?" Asher shook his tongue as if pitying him while Jarius had a crazed smile, thanking this level 1 trash for distracting this human twice for him to win. He truly had no strength left to deal with this human.

He surely had to ask his father about this Hellbringer and see if he could get this demon to be his servant. At least it seemed to have strong endurance despite being so weak. He would perfectly serve as bait.

But he didn't forget what he came here for and shouted at Hellbringer, "Hey, don't you dare touch that! I will come and get it myself," Jarius knew that this quest would end the moment anyone got their hands on that armor set.

Asher lowered his hand and nodded firmly, "Sure. But let me kill off that human for you, Young Lord," Saying so, Asher threw his Blade of Damnation at a dying William.

"Don't you do it, you shithead," Jarius shouted at the top of his voice since killing someone of equal level like William would get him a decent amount of Rating Points. But if someone else deals the killing blow, he would get peanuts.

But it was too late as he saw the ring blade flying towards William. Jarius's eyes focused as he lunged forward to stab William before the ring blade could.

William was choking on his own blood when he saw two blades coming into his vision, and all he could do was watch helplessly with widened eyes.

*Slish!*

*Klutch!*

William stopped breathing the moment the first blade touched him. He never expected to get killed due to his own stupidity.

Jarius smiled in relief, thinking that his blade stabbed William first. But he frowned when he didn't receive any Rating Points despite stabbing William.

"No…" He looked up and saw the ring blade flying back to that level 1 who showed a thumbs up at him, "I got him for you, Young Lord. It is better to not dirty your noble blade with his blood."

"Are you a fucking idiot?!" Jarius wanted to shout, but he grimaced as his injuries acted up again. He didn't know if this level 1 was being dumb or pretending to be after stealing his kill.

But he decided to punish it later and first get the armor set and go home before he bleeds out. He somehow got up and limped towards the plinth where the Kronus' Armor Set was floating.

"Young Lord, don't burden yourself by carrying this. Let me carry it for you," Asher said as he immediately placed his hand on the armor set, making Jarius' eyes quiver and widen, "Don't you dare!!!" Jarius howled at the top of his voice as he endured the pain and tried to gain pace to stop this thief before he escaped with his reward.

But the armor set was already grabbed by Hellbringer as a column of light struck both him and Jarius, which was a sign of them getting teleported out of this dungeon.

"NOO!!! My armor!!!" Jarius could only howl helplessly with a dark face as the column of light teleported him away, and both Hellbringer and the Kronus' Armor Set was no longer within his grasp.
