I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

-This is insane…

-In the meantime, he just kills anyone who doesn’t listen to him

-Look at him hiding like a mouse whenever he sees Jin Yuha, haha!

-Even in a dream, he was still scared, haha!

Min Tae-hoon’s dream video vividly demonstrated the nature of the Demons.
The video reached its climax, showing Min Tae-hoon with Alice by his side, treating her like a servant.

-Isn’t that the girl from the group sparring earlier?

-Yeah, seems like the Sword emperor granddaughter.

-Creepy as hell…

Min Tae-hoon, who was watching, began to convulse, twisting his body on the chair.

“Damn it! Stop it!!! Th-This, th-this, th-this…! This can’t be real!!!

The dark Demonic Magic began to flow from Min Tae-hoon’s eyes, nose, and mouth.

“How… How could this be…! What have I done…!?”

He couldn’t accept the reality.

Crack!

His body swelled, and the restraining artifact used on law-breaking hunters screamed.

The atmosphere suggested that something unusual was about to happen.

-We knew the Demons were dangerous, but… If it weren’t for the Velvet Hunter Academy, the world would have been destroyed by now.

-Ugh, disgusting…

-Shouldn’t we just kill him now?

-Hey, it looks like he’s showing signs of awakening! Shouldn’t we take care of him quickly, Cheonhwa?

As Shin Se-hee saw that her intentions were being understood, she nodded slightly.

“The reason we’re not killing this Demon is that we have something else to show you.”

-Show us something?

-Demon awakening?

-Are you going to show us the Demons entering their second phase?

Shin Se-hee shook her head.

“Well, you all already know about Demon awakenings and their dangers to some extent.”

-Yeah, they show us those videos during safety and security education.

-They transform into monstrous forms and become even stronger, right?

“Actually, that’s not such a big threat. Well, not by our Utopia standards. We’ve faced them numerous times, and we have the data. We’ve determined that one member of the Utopia party is enough to handle it. Even an A-rank party can handle it with proper measures.”

-Wow!

-Amazing…

-Oh!

-So, one person can handle a Demon awakening?

-So, an A-rank party is enough for other parties? How strong is Utopia then?

“But…”

Shin Se-hee’s voice turned solemn.

“It’s a Devil.”

-Huh?

-A Devil?

-What’s that? Is it similar to a Demon?

While Demon awakenings were known among the general public,
Information about the Devils that had manifested on Earth was top-secret, shared only among the upper echelons of the Velvet Hunter Academy, the Demon Extermination Squad, and the Hunter Management Bureau. The chat was filled with confused voices as they didn’t understand what was happening.

Min Tae-hoon’s pupils began to tremble, as if he was about to awaken.

“W-What…! What are you saying…! Am I the sacrifice…! No, no! I didn’t summon them!”

Min Tae-hoon shook his head, clearly flustered, his head tilted upwards.

“No, no! Stop! Stooop! Damn it, stop!!!

Shin Se-hee looked at Min Tae-hoon with a calm expression and continued.

“Until now, the Devils have been summoned by offering sacrifices or self-sacrifice, which hasn’t been known to the outside world. But that’s about to change. If you ever see a black gate appearing somewhere, please be cautious.”

This information, which was originally classified,
Needed to be made public to warn people about the dangers of the Devils that might emerge from the gates.

“These Devils will be our new enemies in the world.”

With Shin Se-hee’s final words,

A deafening roar filled the air,
And a black energy erupted from beneath Min Tae-hoon’s feet.

.

.

.

“It’s been a long time. The beginning, perhaps.”

Dudu-duk!

Kang Do-hee couldn’t hide her excitement, her hands itching for battle as she anticipated the fight with the Devils. She had recently encountered the Demon Tree, but she had only inserted the Demon Stone and hadn’t directly fought a strong opponent.

She had been eager to test her recent training progress.

“Wait a little longer.”

I understood her eagerness, but I chuckled and stopped her.

“What? Why?”
“Well, if this Devil is the one I know, he’ll be incredibly weak at first.”
“Hey, weak? Didn’t you say it was a Devil?”
“Yeah, just at first. Wait a bit, and it’ll become a worthy opponent.”

‘Kaaaah!!! Damn it─!!!!!’

I watched calmly as Min Tae-hoon, enveloped in the black energy, screamed.

Then, at one moment,

He stopped.

The black energy converged within him, and his screams ceased.

“Ugh, what the heck is that…?”

Lim Ga-eul said with a disgusted tone.

Gulp, gulp,

Of course, Min Tae-hoon’s entire body was melting.

His arms, legs, eyeballs, bones, and skin were dissolving like wax, as if drenched in hydrochloric acid. The melted black mass of Min Tae-hoon’s body then coalesced into a spherical shape, like a blob of slime.

Wriggle, wriggle.

“S-Slime…? No, that’s not it…”

Yoo-ri spoke in a bewildered voice.

Although the black light emanating from the slime was ominous, the creature that appeared was indeed a slime.

‘Normally, this is when you’d attack and easily defeat it.’

If this were near the final chapter, I would have attacked right away.

This creature’s difficulty varied greatly depending on when it appeared.

‘But this isn’t the final chapter, and we need to warn people about the dangers of Devils. Plus, Utopia can gain valuable experience fighting this creature.’

For these reasons, I decided to hold off on the easiest strategy for defeating this creature, which was to attack during its transformation.

The slime’s viscous substance spread like tree roots on the ground.

Slowly, its form began to swell and transform.

This creature was called Giman.

It had the troublesome ability to manifest the forms that people feared the most.

And it wasn’t just one monster; it was a mix of various creatures.

‘If we waited for the final transformation, it would be a chaotic mix of all sorts of monsters.’

Of course, the old-timers of Velvets would boast about who created the most bizarre form of Giman and post their achievements on the community.

But that was just the old-timers’ childish way of showing off, spending money and complaining about the lack of content.

The first clear form Giman took was one we were familiar with.

“Hey, isn’t that the Fire Dragon we hunted before!?”

‘Oh… Rare! Crazy! Giman in Fire Dragon form, I have to take a picture and post it on the community right now!’

I couldn’t help but get excited for a moment, but I cleared my throat inwardly.

‘Hmm, I’m not like those guys.’

Anyway, the appearance of the Fire Dragon was truly a rare sight.

‘But why are people afraid of the Fire Dragon when they haven’t even encountered it properly?’

After a moment of thought, I found the answer.

‘Ah, it must be because of that TV program where they showed the Fire Dragon’s corpse.’

It seemed that the impact of that broadcast was quite significant.

“But didn’t they only show the severed head back then?”

As if to prove this, the Fire Dragon’s head remained, and various monsters’ limbs and faces began to sprout.

Giman’s body began to take shape, a mix of different monsters.

“Ogre’s arm? That’s weak. Oh, it’s because of the dungeon explosion. Minotaur’s horn, Golem’s leg, Red Werewolf’s claws, Vampire Bat’s wings, and the Tentacle Monster was on TV too…”

Analyzing what monsters Giman was made of was quite an interesting task.

‘If the monsters from the final chapter were mixed in, we might need to call Master. But this should be manageable.’

With the Fire Dragon mixed in, it wasn’t too easy either.

The party members, who initially thought it would be an easy opponent, now looked serious.

The sight of various dangerous monsters from around the world combined into one was overwhelming, even for Utopia.

The faces of the different monsters attached to Giman’s body opened their mouths wide,

Krrr!!!
Grrrr
Gie!!!
Gaah!!!

It roared, showcasing its might.

As I had anticipated this, I removed my hands from my ears and turned to the party members.

“Well, it seems we’re done here. Shall we go and take care of it now?”
