In A Parallel World With Random Skills, I Reluctantly Become A Mafia Boss?

Chapter 23: Demon

*Peck*

*Bleed*

Ouch.

Eh? Why, why did the little phoenix peck at me? Did I do something to make it angry?

No, more importantly, how did it even wound me with my absurd stats?

Scary. Phoenixes are scary.

Well, the wound automatically regenerated quickly anyway, so no harm done.

Still, if this happened during the day, I'm sure it would be a one-hit game over for me.

Again, to reiterate, Phoenixes are scary.

I really hope I learn of what I should avoid doing in front of this guy in the future to avoid dying early. But, I had no way of knowing for now.

Now that that's all well and good, it was about time to end this.

I look towards the pitiful sight of the crawling little boy that started to grow two large horns on his forehead, and was slowly crawling on the ground, away from here, using his hands. His chest heaving up and down, while ominous-looking energy was gathering into his leg stumps which was in fact, slowly regenerating his legs.

*Flap*

*Slice*

I take my time moving forward, towards the crawling trash that calls itself a king, I mean...the enemy that was greatly weakened, when suddenly the raven on my right side shot out two blades of wind from its wings, and quickly decapitated the slowly regenerating limbs that were about to be completed.

A slight grin was seen on its beak, or at least I think it was.

This is the first time that I had encountered one of the people that were truly fit to be called a 'sadist'. Truly terrifying indeed.

It was a bird though.

"...! GAAAAHH!!"

A being that can make one of the highest-ranking demons scream like that, can only be someone to be feared whenever you look behind your shoulder at night.

But again, that someone was only a bird.

Thinking of the problems I would face in the near future, since these birds seemed to have no plan on leaving my side, fills me with endless anxiety and dread.

If these guys were just born a little while ago, and had this overly-problematic personalities, how much more would it expand when they grow up?

I shudder at the thought.

<<Fear Resistance>> even at Level 3, isn't enough for me to be undaunted against that.

Finishing my idle thoughts, I arrived right in front of the 'Demon King of Gluttony', who was right now, screaming in pain. From its sheath, I draw the 'Steel Iron Sword' once more and raise it overhead. Preparing to activate one of the skills from the <<Sword Mastery>> skill tree, <<Overhead Ground Breaker>>, I gather magic power into the sword.

"...You Bastard! I swear it upon my name, Edacitas Von Beelzebub, that I will find you and your whole kin! I shall attain even greater power than your monstrous ability and devour everything important to you! I will relish seeing your expression as you watch every single one being eaten right in front of-"

*Swoosh*

*Boom*

*Sizzle*

As I brought down my sword unto the defenseless neck of Edacitas, who was blabbering nonstop about stupid things he will never have the chance to do, the little phoenix at my left also released a ball of fire towards his yammering mouth, and scorched it black.
