Becoming an adventurer by copying monster abilities

After taking the heavy warhammer into his hands, Luke also made some changes to his fighting style.

Combat techniques like [Gluttony Slash] or [Mind's Eye Sword], which rely on weapons such as swords to function, are naturally unusable.

However, Luke was indeed of no use against these hordes of weak and unintelligent demons.

He relied solely on the attribute boosts from the ogre projection and his past combat experience.

Luke was already moving through the demon horde as if it were nothing.

"Bang!"

As Luca suddenly exerted force from his waist, the heavy hammerhead, crafted from high-quality steel, produced a deep and terrifying whooshing sound.

Each simple, sweeping strike shattered the hard bones of the fearsome demons that tried to pounce on them.

By slightly controlling the location and force of the strike, these fear demons can die "harmlessly".

As one after another of their comrades' twisted corpses were mercilessly swung away, they crashed heavily onto the gray-brown rock wall.

These cowardly demons, who had initially relied on their numerical advantage to charge forward wave after wave, finally hesitated in their chaotic steps.

Behind them was the tempting smell of fresh blood and flesh, but in front of them stood a terrifying "god of death".

Judging from the uncoordinated movements of these demons, you can tell that their already not-so-skilled left and right hemispheres have started negotiating.

But Luke's actions showed no hesitation or pause whatsoever.

Each strike precisely shatters the heads of one or two of these hideous monsters.

For adventurers who constantly teeter on the edge of life and death.

High-pressure living environments often cause their personalities to undergo some extreme or even distorted changes without them realizing it.

When a person has killed too many lives and has become accustomed to solving all problems with violence and weapons.

Their sense of awe towards taking the lives of their fellow human beings will gradually become numb, and they may even stop feeling that there is anything wrong with killing.

Therefore, the reputation of adventurers has always been mixed.

In the eyes of some ordinary civilians, the danger posed by adventurers is not much different from that of green goblins that suddenly break into a village.

Constantly immersing oneself in danger and bloodshed can easily distort a person's personality.

Therefore, places where adventurers congregate tend to have many taverns, gambling dens, brothels, and so on.

After accumulating a lot of inner pressure, there always needs to be a reasonable outlet for it.

For Luke, this kind of battle where he easily reaped the lives of monsters was the best way to vent his frustrations.

Every time I hear the crisp sound of monster bones shattering, or watch their limbs scatter and fly as the sword is swung.

All of this gave him a feeling of extreme stress relief and comfort, as if all the pressure had been released.

Finally, after leaving behind dozens of twisted corpses.

The demons grew increasingly sluggish, until finally none of them dared to approach Luke anymore.

As Luke took a step forward, he carried his warhammer.

These already fearful demons suddenly let out a sharp, eerie scream as if electrocuted, and retreated in terror.

Its short, bulky figure swayed and turned around, then, like a frightened mouse, it frantically fled towards the overgrown ruins it had come from.

The demons have given up and are afraid to fight.

Luke slammed his hammer on the ground, took a slight breath, and made no attempt to press his advantage.

After all, his primary responsibility right now is to protect the safety of the wounded in the stone house behind him.

Moreover, even if he killed all the fleeing cowards, he alone wouldn't be able to drag them all back to Twilight Town to exchange for money.

Just when he thought the easy battle was over.

A sharp, piercing scream, as if it came from the depths of his heart, exploded without warning in the air above the quarry.

Luke felt a wave of complex emotions, including despair, mania, and chaos, trying to penetrate the depths of his soul.

But the moment this mental fluctuation touched Luke's barrier of consciousness, it vanished without a trace.

It didn't cause any ripples.

Those cowardly demons who had already lost their will to fight and were scattering in all directions heard this mournful howl.

His eyes, which had already been glazed over with fear, were once again filled with bloodlust and madness.

"roar!"

These low-level demons, like puppets stripped of their reason, turned away recklessly.

They charged toward Luke's location again.

Hearing the sudden, eerie cry, Luke ignored the cowardly demons who were like cannon fodder, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

His eyes darted rapidly across the empty surroundings, searching for the source of the cry.

Soon, he discovered something unusual at the top of a huge rock cliff that had been carved extremely smoothly by human hands on the edge of the quarry.

It was a humanoid creature with an exceptionally alluring figure.

The female physiological characteristics are very obvious and exaggerated to the extreme.

Just looking at those alluring curves, she definitely deserves the title of "devilish figure".

The vital parts were barely concealed by a few black feathers that shone with a metallic sheen.

This half-concealed, half-revealed demeanor only adds to its allure and makes it even more thrilling.

However, looking up along her long, fair neck, any man's lust would be extinguished in an instant.

It was an extremely ugly and twisted demonic face, which completely shattered the visual impact of this perfect figure.

His narrow eyes were completely filled with pure black, without any whites, exuding a chilling stillness.

Its thin and sharp cheeks protrude outwards, and the bone structure from its mouth to its chin is much longer than that of a normal human.

As it opened its mouth and howled, several rows of densely packed, sharp teeth filled the entire deformed oral cavity.

Just staring at that face for a few seconds is enough to make many novice adventurers feel weak in the knees due to physical discomfort.

Although Luke had never seen such a monster in reality before, he could now guess what it was.

This is likely the Banshee of Terror, a demonic creature from the bottomless abyss that has made the quarry its lair.

The terrifying howl that the opponent just let out should be the [Fear Scream] that the mage Archie mentioned, which can plunge people into a state of fear.

The reason why Luke was unaffected is quite simple.

On the panel, the feat [Gift of Miracles], which I gained when I was promoted to the "Fantasywalker" class, was playing its due role.

[Miracle Gift: Immune to negative status effects such as Charm, Intimidation, and Panic.]

Clearly, the Banshee of Terror's unique roar is also one of the negative statuses that grant immunity to the Gift of Miracles.

What surprised Luke was that the Banshee of Terror hadn't been chased by Murphy the sorcerer's squad and had already fled the area.

Could it be that the high-level adventurer team that even the Adventurers' Guild values ​​highly has encountered some kind of accident?

According to the introduction by Priest Wyatt of the Church of Dawn, the mage named Murphy Lorian is at least level 9.

Moreover, the other party was not acting alone.

Facing a level 6 challenge Banshee of Terror, the chances of this elite squad being wiped out are almost zero.

So, there was actually more than one Banshee of Fear in the quarry?
