The moment Fenrik's spear moved, Damien's instincts screamed. He twisted aside as a blur of metal shot past his face, grazing his cheek before burying itself deep in the stone wall behind him. The next spear came before he could breathe, then another until the air itself seemed to hum with death.
The spears didn't fall still. They turned midair, vibrating like angry wasps before launching again. Damien's daggers flashed, deflecting one, dodging another, barely avoiding a third that carved into his shoulder. Blood splattered the floor, but his legs didn't slow. His body moved on pure reflex, faster, sharper every motion tighter than the last.
'Too fast he's reading every move I make!'
Fenrik's voice growled through the onslaught. "Is this it, human? You come into my den and dance with sticks?!"
Damien lunged forward, daggers low, aiming for Fenrik's ribs! but the Wolfman's spear swept horizontally, catching both blades. The impact sent a shock up Damien's arms, almost dislocating his wrists. Fenrik twisted the shaft and drove a boot into Damien's gut, hurling him backward into a pillar.
The stone cracked. Damien coughed, blood dripping down his lips.
He looked up just in time to see the spears rise again twelve of them, circling like vultures. They launched at once.
Damien moved. Faster this time. His form blurred as he sidestepped, ducked, spun the blades of death missing him by inches. His world narrowed to motion and instinct. Each flicker of killing intent, every whisper of wind against steel, he could see them before they came.
He slid low under one spear, used another as a stepping point, flipping forward and slashing across Fenrik's chest. Sparks flew. The blade barely pierced his hide.
Fenrik looked down at the shallow cut and grinned, exposing sharp fangs. "Good. At least you make me bleed."
Then he was gone.
A claw ripped through Damien's shirt from behind. He twisted, barely avoiding a killing strike but not the follow-up, Fenrik's knee drove into his ribs, sending him flying. The pain was blinding. He hit the ground hard, rolled, and forced himself to stand.
Blood ran from his side, his shoulder, his lip. His daggers trembled in his hands.
'He's… too strong. He's faster, heavier… each swing feels like a hammer.'
He disappeared from sight. The shadows swallowed him whole as his form blurred into nothingness but Fenrik's Red eyes didn't waver.
"Hide all you want," the Wolfman growled, his ears twitching. "The scent of fear is louder than any footstep."
A spear whistled through the darkness, Damien blocked it, but Fenrik was already there. Their weapons clashed in a storm of sparks, steel against steel, muscle against will. Damien ducked a strike, rolled behind, and slashed across Fenrik's leg finally drawing a deep cut.
The Wolfman howled and spun, his spear cleaving through the air like a tempest. Damien deflected one strike, then another but the third blow shattered his guard, splitting open his forearm.
He hissed in pain but refused to fall back. He pressed forward, twin daggers flashing in a furious rhythm. His aura darkened, killing intent flooding the chamber like a storm. Fenrik's grin faltered for the first time as Damien's movements grew sharper, wilder his attacks now carrying that faint, chilling edge of bloodlust.
But it wasn't enough.
Fenrik roared, slamming his spear into the ground. The floor erupted dozens of stone spikes shot upward, forcing Damien to leap back, but that was what Fenrik wanted. In the air, Damien was defenseless.
The Wolfman lunged, spear thrusting forward like lightning.
Damien's eyes widened. He twisted, midair, daggers up but too late.
The spear punched through his chest.
Time stopped. The sound died. Only the slow drop of blood echoed through the silence.
Fenrik leaned close, voice low and calm. "Bold. Reckless. You challenge what even I would not face. You have courage, human...but courage alone cannot kill a king."
Damien's grip tightened weakly on his daggers as the world began to blur
In the air, as the world blurred into haze and blood loss clouded his sight, Damien's mind refused to fade. No childhood memories, no regrets, no desperate pleas for life...only a cold, burning calculation.
'There was an opening… each time he summoned the spears, his left side was wide open… I can kill him. I can kill him. I have to kill him.'
The thought wasn't born of hope. It was survival primal, consuming, absolute.
Fenrik's red eyes watched the light dim in Damien's gaze, ready to turn away. But then, in a blur of motion that even his beastly instincts barely caught, Damien moved.
With a guttural snarl, Damien ripped the spear from his chest, blood spraying across the broken floor. Before his nerves could even scream in pain, he hurled the blood-soaked weapon like a javelin.
Fenrik's instincts screamed danger he pivoted, knocking the spear aside with a ringing clash of steel. But that second of distraction was all Damien needed.
He was already descending daggers reversed in his grip, body crashing down like a falling star.
The Wolfman raised his spear just in time, blocking the strike. Sparks flew as metal met metal, the impact shattering the stones beneath their feet.
"I admire power like yours…" Fenrik growled, eyes blazing brighter, fangs bared. "But you… are not ready. DIE!"
The floating spears obeyed their master's wrath, all at once turning toward Damien. From every angle front, back, above they screamed through the air like a storm of silver.
And then, something inside Damien snapped.
That wild, suffocating aura of bloodlust erupted around him, filling the room with a cold, murderous stillness. For the briefest second, Fenrik froze his feral senses buckled under that suffocating intent.
A second was all it took.
Damien twisted, driving his shoulder forward and knocking Fenrik's spear aside. Pain ripped through him as one of the summoned spears pierced his back, but he didn't care because his dagger was already at the Wolfman's throat.
With a roar that was more beast than man, Damien plunged the blade deep into Fenrik's neck. Hot blood splashed across his face. The spear in his back shattered as he wrenched it free and rammed it through Fenrik's chest for good measure.
Fenrik staggered back, eyes wide in disbelief. Blood poured from his neck as Damien stood over him, drenched, shaking, breathing like a rabid animal.
"Haa… haa… haa…"
The spears fell lifelessly around them.
Fenrik's hand reached out weakly, clawing at Damien's shoulder. His voice trembled not from fear, but exhaustion."You… ugh… please… kill the Demon King…"
Then his arm fell limp, and the Wolfman.. the last of his kind collapsed.
The dungeon fell silent.
Then came the sound the clear, angelic ping of triumph.
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
Light enveloped Damien. His wounds sealed shut in seconds. His vision cleared, his heart steadied, and his strength returned in a rush of divine warmth.
When the glow faded, he was lying on the cold floor, panting, drenched in blood but alive.
[You have gained: Wolf King's Armor Set][You have gained: Rune Stone (Sense)][You have gained: Dungeon Key (D)]
A slow grin crept across his face, exhaustion giving way to pure, feral satisfaction.
He looked at his trembling hands, still coated in blood, and whispered to himself through a rasping breath:
"…Guess I'm still alive."
Then his eyes widened slightly the new system window flickering before him.
His level… had skyrocketed.
