Demon constitution
The bottom where Porgynei’s roots were embedded was very deep.
thud!
“Ugh…!”
Kim Jin-seong, who has an incredibly strong body thanks to the numerous characteristics he has acquired so far, was unable to stand up easily due to the impact of falling to the floor.
‘Ugh! Is my leg broken…’
Kim Jin-seong tries to stand up, but stumbles and falls to his knees again.
Sure enough, the left knee was bent more than 90 degrees, and the shin was also seen to be bent abnormally.
Just looking at it, it looked like it was fractured.
‘···I need to recover first.’
Kim Jin-seong immediately took out the HP potion that had been placed on his waist.
As he was about to pour it into his mouth, he immediately frowned.
‘It’s broken!’
The bottom was broken and there was no contents inside.
I couldn’t tell if the bottle broke as a result of the impact as it fell, or if it was broken by an attack from the stem and roots just before the fall.
In any case, it is a serious situation.
‘I need to at least use recovery skills.’
Kim Jin-seong thought like that while looking straight ahead.
He could see that the roots of Porgynei, covering the entire pitch-black space, were slowly starting to move toward Jinseong Kim.
I couldn’t take any more time because I might be the same if I stayed still.
‘For now, let’s only use Biscrima points to the extent that the leg injury can be healed.’
With that in mind, Kim Jin-seong began consuming Vis Crimea points to use recovery skills.
I stopped using the skill only when my leg injury was fully recovered.
▷ Current remaining Vis Crimea points: 67
‘There’s not much left. It’s a big deal…’
Kim Jin-seong’s heart became anxious when he saw the point balance reduced to two digits.
With this amount, it would have been difficult to maintain the magic energy currently being used for a long time. And it was obvious that if I didn’t use my magic energy, I would be at a disadvantage against the countless roots in front of me.
‘There is no way you can accumulate points by cutting off the roots…’
▶ You have entered a ‘space dominated by demonic energy.’
‘···huh?’
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes widened at the notification window that suddenly popped up.
A space dominated by demonic energy?
Jinseong Kim immediately looked around slowly.
A black haze was swirling around the entire root-covered area. It seemed like they were all demons.
‘If that has the same properties as the magical energy I used, I think it will be possible to absorb it…’
At that time, I suddenly felt something stirring under the ground.
‘Oh!’
Without even having time to think, Jinseong Kim immediately jumped to the side.
Almost immediately, a huge sharp root shot up where he was standing.
That was the beginning.
Roots began to sprout out of the ground one after another.
Kim Jin-seong kept his head rolling as he dodged all the attacks.
‘If the pattern is to only attack from the ground, wouldn’t it be possible to escape upward?’
Kim Jin-seong, who figured out the pattern of the roots, immediately used the ‘Shadow Hiding’ skill and then tried to climb up the wall.
but,
Shhh!
‘shit!’
Kim Jin-seong’s plan was in vain due to the numerous plant stems attacking him as if they were falling almost vertically from the sky.
In the end, Kim Jin-seong returned to the bottom and fixed his sword.
‘Let’s first cut off some of the roots and think about it.’
And I started activating skills that could be used.
While maintaining the magic that was already active, the agility value was greatly increased by using the ‘Unobstructable Charge’ and ‘Steal’ skills.
The ‘Baldo’ skill used in that state.
The sword, swung at the fastest speed Kim Jin-seong could show, headed towards a huge root that was about to enter the ground.
Suddenly.
‘good!’
Kim Jin-seong, who heard the sound of a clean cut, was secretly happy.
Thanks to the vampire trait it had, its HP increased slightly.
‘If I cut just a few more pieces, my health will fully recover.’
Kim Jin-seong transformed into ‘Dark Hound’ again and stably avoided the attacks of roots rising from below.
Then, when I had some free time, I transformed back into a human and repeated cutting down the roots that I had not been able to hide in the same way as before.
Suddenly.
‘Your stamina recovery is now complete.’
After repeating this about five times, Jinseong Kim confirmed that his HP had already returned to 100%.
‘If it’s like this, wouldn’t it be easier to fight here?’
Kim Jin-seong, who was accustomed to root attacks, thought to himself.
On the ground, it was difficult to cut off the roots so easily because of Porgynae’s huge head, which spewed out water, blinding powder, etc. when bored.

But since there was nothing like that here, it was a very easy situation to deal with.
‘The demonic energy that surrounds me doesn’t seem to have any effect on me…’
That was when I thought about it.
▶ Vis Crimea points have become 0.
‘ah!’
Kim Jin-seong thought, “Oh my gosh.”
I was so focused on dealing with the roots that I forgot that I had few Vis Crimea points left.
▶ The use of the unique skill ‘Magi’ has been discontinued.
With the subsequent notification window, the demonic energy that had thinly covered Kim Jin-seong’s entire body disappeared in an instant.
Then, suddenly, tremendous pain struck Kim Jin-seong’s whole body.
“Kwaaaa!!”
The pain was so immense that a scream burst out of Kim Jin-seong’s mouth.
It feels as if each cell is being cut out as if it were sashimi.
At a time when he was in so much pain that he couldn’t control his body properly, the color of his skin began to change rapidly starting from his fingertips.
“W-what is this…! “Aaaah!!”
Kim Jin-seong was shocked to see his hands turned black as if they had been burned, but soon he could not overcome the pain and screamed again.
The body turning black was a common sight when an ordinary human body was exposed to demonic energy.
Along with the pain, the entire body becomes increasingly dominated by demonic energy, and when the entire body is covered with demonic energy, it turns into a monster-like being that has completely lost its rationality.
The way for humans to survive in a space dominated by such magical energy was to protect their bodies by covering their entire bodies with mana.
Until then, Kim Jin-seong had no problem because he activated his demonic energy and covered his entire body as if protecting it.
‘Ugh… I have to get out of here somehow…!’
Kim Jin-seong started running to escape from here.
But even that was impossible.
This was because when he tried to jump high into the sky, roots sprouting from the ground entangled his legs.
“Damn it… ahhh!!”
Kim Jin-seong, who was trying to cut down the root, once again writhed in pain and dropped the sword he was holding.
Other roots began to wrap around Kim Jin-seong’s body, which had already turned black and burned except for his head.
Kim Jin-seong, entangled in the roots, began to feel tremendous pressure, and the pain he felt as a result doubled.
“Huhhh…Ahhhh…!!”
Although he was struggling in pain, he moved his body around as if trying to escape somehow.
However, it was nearly impossible to escape from the restricted movement of both hands and feet.
When using the ‘Shadow Hiding’ skill, the skill was immediately released due to the pain caused by the demonic energy, and the ‘Transformation Clone Art’ was completely ineffective in this situation because it simply made his body invisible.
‘I can’t… if I keep going like this… I…!’
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes began to gradually become stained with despair.
That was when the demonic energy completely covered his body up to the top of his head.
▶ The sealed comprehensive characteristic ‘Demon Constitution’ has been unlocked.
▷ Demon Constitution: You get the following effects.
– You will no longer suffer from demon energy.
– The effect of all skills and characteristics affected by demonic energy is doubled.
– In spaces dominated by demonic energy, all recovery speeds and abilities are doubled.
– From now on, you can absorb surrounding demon energy. Absorbing magical energy restores stamina and mana, and increases Viscrima points.
In an instant, a long notification window appeared and the pain that had been taking over Kim Jin-seong’s entire body disappeared as if washed away.
As soon as the pain in his entire body disappeared, Kim Jin-seong moved immediately.
The ‘shadow hiding’ that he could not use due to the pain caused the roots that were wrapped around his body to escape from the inside to the outside.
“Hehehe…I lived…!”
Only then did Jinseong Kim put his hands on his knees and let out a heavy breath.
Kim Jin-seong picked up the sword that had fallen nearby again and immediately launched himself into another root attack rising from the ground, quickly reading the notification window that appeared in front of him.
‘···You can absorb these demonic energy?’
Because the situation was so tense, I couldn’t read it in detail, but I clearly understood the important points.
‘then···.’
While flying through the air, he tried to absorb the demonic energy that filled his surroundings.
Absorbing it was easy. As soon as he made up his mind, the surrounding demonic energy began to automatically enter Kim Jin-seong’s body.
Then a new notification window appeared.
▶ I absorbed demonic energy.
▶ HP and MP recovered by 841 each.
▷ Current HP: 1552/1800
▷ Current MP: 1317/1400
▶ Viscrima points increased by 53.
▷ Current remaining Vis Crimea points: 53
‘and!’
Kim Jin-seong was surprised.
Even though I didn’t absorb much, the amount recovered and the points increased were ridiculous.
‘I said that the effect of skills affected by demonic energy also becomes stronger.’
Kim Jin-seong immediately activated his demonic energy again and swung his sword using the ‘Baldo’ skill at the roots that were just entering the ground.
Chop clap!
‘······!’
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes widened as he saw all the huge roots being cut off in one go.
It was a root that I could barely cut down with all my might using a sharp sword, but this easily…?
‘Is this the effect of being four times stronger?’
Due to the ‘demon constitution’ characteristic, if you use the skill with demonic energy activated, you can inflict twice as much damage.
In addition, within the ‘space dominated by magic’, the damage is twice as strong.
As we just saw, the power of the Baldo skill, which was four times stronger in total, was at the level of cleanly cutting off five Porgynei roots at once.
‘Is this enough to cut down the central stem of Porgynei right now?’
Kim Jin-seong turned his head to the base of Porgynei’s stem, where the roots and stem are connected.
Before acquiring the ‘demon constitution’, I could cut off 1/3 of the thick stump if I gave my all.
Of course, now that it’s four times stronger, wouldn’t it be enough to cut it down in one go?
‘Once I absorb more demonic energy…’
In order to prevent a situation where all the points were used up and the demonic energy was released again, Jinseong Kim began to absorb the demonic energy that was overflowing around him into his body.
Kim Jin-seong absorbed a lot of demon energy until his points reached 300.
‘Okay, let’s cut it.’
To finish, I began injecting a lot of magical energy into the sword sheathed.
It was just as I was about to use the ‘Baldo’ skill.
‘···wait for a sec.’
Jinseong Kim discovered something and stopped infusing mana.
‘The surrounding magical energy is being refilled, right?’
Thanks to Kim Jin-seong absorbing a lot of demonic energy just now, the area around him where he was standing was completely gone.
But, after only a few seconds, wasn’t he already covered in demonic energy again?
‘This seems to be gushing out from the roots of Porgynei…?’
Just in case, Jinseong Kim tried absorbing demonic energy once again.
···It was true.
Demonic energy gushed out from the roots at the bottom, instantly filling the space where the magical energy had disappeared.
‘If that’s the case, there’s no reason to do it now.’
Kim Jin-seong changed his mind and took his hand off the sword handle.
