Becoming an adventurer by copying monster abilities

As a high-level demonic creature from the bottomless abyss, the Banshee of Dread not only possesses powerful magic, but also cunning and wisdom no less than that of humans.

It's entirely possible that upon seeing powerful adventurers arrive, they would choose to conceal themselves and lie low.

But for Luke, this was a real disaster.

Without waiting for the banshee to make any move, Luke strictly adhered to his previous agreement with Archie.

If he encounters any overly dangerous situation, he'll have to run away first.

The ogre powers that had been bestowed upon him instantly transformed into the powers of a dire wolf.

Feel the incredibly natural control your legs have over the ground.

Without hesitation, Luke turned and sprinted away from the quarry like an arrow released from a bow.

He was incredibly fast, and with the added speed of a dire wolf, he sped away.

He could also easily raise his arm shield and smash the heads of the few remaining cowardly demons that surrounded him and tried to block his path.

Simultaneously activate [Crimson Rampage], utilizing the unique acceleration ability of the combat skill to rush towards the Fearful Demons that are closer to the exit.

This allows one's figure to become elusive and ghostly amidst the complex ruins.

"Whoosh!"

To Luke's surprise...

Just when he thought he had created a safe distance, he glanced back out of the corner of his eye and saw it.

The terrifying banshee with an exaggerated figure on the cliff spread its arms after letting out a hiss.

The moment the arms were spread out, the black feathers unfurled and transformed into a pair of wings.

Immediately afterwards, the Banshee of Terror leaped down from the cliff and flew directly towards Luke!

Is this a flying creature?

Despite Luca's already high speed, it was no match for a flying creature that could accelerate in a straight line without regard to terrain obstacles.

This ground speed still seems somewhat insufficient.

The distance between the two sides was visibly and rapidly decreasing.

Luke had no choice but to drop his long-handled warhammer and run at full speed.

The Banshee doesn't even need to flap her wings for extra power while gliding at low altitudes.

Gravity alone caused its speed to reach a terrifying critical point.

When she was only a few dozen meters away from Luke, the Banshee of Terror suddenly thrust out her feet, which were hidden under the feathers on her legs.

They were a pair of huge, black claws resembling those of a raptor, their sharp nails gleaming with a metallic sheen.

No special abilities are needed; at this speed, one can directly rush to the prey.

With those sharp claws alone, they could probably tear Luca's armor and flesh apart.

The shadows in the sky had already fallen behind us.

Feeling the increasingly clear sound of wind breaking through the air, Luca exerted his leg muscles and brought the car to a stop.

At the same time, he pushed off with both feet and leaped high into the air, performing a backflip.

Just as he turned over, the succubus figure, as fast as a black streak of light, swept past him.

Its sharp claws dug heavily into the granite floor below.

Accompanied by an extremely harsh scraping sound, two deep and terrifying grooves were left in the hard rock.

If Luca had reacted a little slower, or had chosen to lie down to avoid it...

The banshee's sharp claws must have already sliced ​​his body into several pieces along the ground.

After Luke stopped, he drew his half-sword from behind him and began to quickly calculate how to deal with the situation.

After missing her target, the Banshee of Fear charged forward for a distance before regaining control of herself.

Judging from the rapid rise and fall of the other party's chest, this terrifying speed and form probably won't last long.

However, Luca couldn't determine exactly how long this speed could be maintained.

If you continue to expose your back to the opponent as they try to escape, it will only make every attempt by them more passive.

If you use [Stealth Dodge], the distance you create isn't that far, and the opponent can catch up quickly.

The best way is to bring the Banshee of Fear to that group of stone houses.

By utilizing those complex stone walls and load-bearing pillars, they could completely restrict and block the opponent's ability to fly.

However, Luke is now quite a distance from that group of buildings.

With a thought, his dire wolf powers quickly dissipated.

Then, the demon's power was enhanced, raising the agility attribute to the maximum.

Faced with this type of speed-based enemy, he decided to maximize his agility and try to kill with a single blow.

This Banshee of Fear was the highest-level monster he had ever seen besides the Ash Lord.

The challenge level is 6, which is one level higher than the evil ape demon we encountered in the forest.

Moreover, this time, Luke will not only have to face this monster alone.

The opponent was not in a state of serious injury like the Evil Ape Demon.

It was extremely difficult to handle.

Will it win?

As the silhouette of the Banshee of Terror drew ever closer, Luke gripped the hilt of his half-sword and assumed a fighting stance.

We will win!

This is not Luke being arrogant.

The Banshee of Fear's high challenge level stems primarily from her unique spellcasting abilities.

A powerful area-of-effect control spell, if cast in a human town or ordinary army, would be an absolutely devastating disaster.

However, its physical strength is definitely not as great as that of monsters like the Evil Ape Demon, which mainly rely on physical strength to obtain challenge level assessments.

The Banshee's most prized mental spells have been completely countered by her own [Gift of Miracles], rendering them utterly useless.

Luke thought that if he could seize the opportunity, he might be able to defeat his opponent.

The Banshee of Terror was incredibly fast; her sharp black claws, like several swords, were already aimed straight at Luke's chest.

With 9 points in Perception and 9 points in Agility, Luke's observation skills are now able to keep up with his opponent's terrifying speed.

He held the sword horizontally across his chest, finding the opportune moment he had been waiting for.

"clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere, accompanied by extremely loud metallic clanging sounds.

His hand, half-sword, pressed against the dark claws of the Banshee of Fear.

I felt the intense pain and numbness in my arms caused by the tremendous impact.

Luke did not retreat, but immediately activated the defensive counter-attack technique, [Mind's Eye Sword].

The fearful banshee's charging figure trembled instantly, clearly feeling the disarming force of the [Mind's Eye Sword]'s counterattack.

However, since it was a monster with a challenge level of 6, the effect was only temporary.

Luke didn't miss the moment. As he swung his longsword toward his opponent's neck, a beam of green light shot out from the tip of his left finger.

[A Trembling Touch - Revised]

The green light instantly fell upon the body of the Banshee of Terror.

However, for a monster proficient in spellcasting, Luca's spells were clearly not as destructive as they had been when he used them on the previous adventurers.

The corrosive green light disappeared after causing the opponent only a brief moment of pain.

Even after the green light was emitted, Luca's actions did not stop.

Under the increasingly angry gaze of the Banshee of Terror, another enormous, burning fireball hurtled towards them!
