Becoming an adventurer by copying monster abilities

Even the banshee, born from the bottomless abyss and having witnessed countless cunning demons and powerful spellcasters.

I have never seen anyone like Luke who can unleash several combat techniques and spells in a row without interruption.

Between spellcasting spells, it can occasionally thrust its longsword at tricky spots that are hard to defend against.

It even threw out slippery kerosene and white powder in an attempt to obscure its vision.

A smooth yet somewhat despicable combo kept the Banshee of Terror pinned in place for several seconds.

"roar!"

As several more bleeding sword wounds appeared on her body, the Banshee of Fear shook her head impatiently.

It immediately spread its wings, creating a gust of wind, and soared straight into the sky.

It hovered high above the quarry, its dark eyes, devoid of white, fixed intently on Luke below.

His eyes were filled with resentment and murderous intent.

At the same time, a strange wriggling began to occur in that long and deformed throat.

The next second, the banshee suddenly opened her gaping maw, which was full of fangs.

A piercing shriek, several times more intense and sharp than the first howl, exploded in mid-air!

The sound wave was extremely penetrating; Luca, who was closest, could even feel its presence.

The violent roar swept down, stiffening the muscles in his face.

This indiscriminate area-of-effect spell is also devastating.

It's possible that the banshee, in her enraged state, no longer distinguished between friend and foe.

This sound wave immediately immobilized all the demons on the field.

The demons, already in pain, now rolled on the ground, clutching their heads and wailing.

It felt like experiencing the most painful torment in the world.

Luke, who was at the center of the storm and bearing the brunt of it, immediately showed a pained expression on his face, as if he had been mentally shaken.

His once calm and composed face became twisted and ferocious.

His body slowly lowered, as if he had fallen into an inescapable state of fear.

The banshee's face lit up with joy.

The [Fear Scream] it released from a distance just now doesn't seem to have affected the other party.

Clearly, this human has a high resistance to mental magic.

This piqued its interest, leading it to head straight for this human.

This time, it used all its strength, and at such close range, the opponent was indeed unable to withstand it.

Without further hesitation, the Banshee folded her wings sharply, preparing to pierce her opponent's body with her sharp claws.

However, just as the Banshee of Terror was about to approach Luke, and could even smell the fresh scent of blood on him...

As advanced beings who have lived year-round in a bottomless abyss of survival of the fittest, and have experienced countless life-and-death battles.

Its keen intuition and observational abilities, almost ingrained in its genes, caused it to instinctively jerk its wings in mid-air.

It abruptly slowed down the dive.

This man's face clearly showed extreme pain, and his body was trembling and bowing low.

He looked completely panicked.

But why...?

The Banshee hovered less than five meters above Luke's head, her eyes filled with extreme vigilance and scrutiny.

It tried to find a flaw that would make it uneasy.

It quickly realized that something was wrong.

Although the opponent appeared to be completely overwhelmed by the [Fear Scream].

But his right hand, which was holding half a sword, was strong and steady.

His hunched body curves looked as if he were writhing in pain, full of flaws.

But it seems they've been looking for an opportunity to make a move...

"Cunning maggots!"

The banshee's eye twitched violently.

Reason told it that what lay before it was a dangerous trap.

However, judging from their performance in the previous exchange, this human was clearly much weaker than it.

The banshee's dignity as a high-ranking demon, coupled with her absolute confidence in her own speed, led her to finally bite her fang-filled lips.

Even knowing that the other party might be bluffing, it still decided to take advantage of its air superiority and speed to launch a risky probing attack!

At this moment, Luca, who was in a "painful curl-up" position, felt somewhat uneasy.

Once the Banshee takes flight, the initiative is completely in her hands.

He could only awkwardly dodge the opponent's attacks.

Therefore, he prepared to use this method to "seduce" the other party.

However, he used to rely on his tried-and-true trick of pretending to be tricked and feigning weakness.

It was ineffective against this fearsome banshee.

Luke grew anxious when he realized the other party hadn't approached for a long time.

"Was my acting too exaggerated?"

Soon, he realized that the fearful banshee could no longer restrain herself and began to swoop down towards him.

Luke was relieved, but at the same time, he secretly calculated the distance between them and waited for the best opportunity to make his move.

Whether the opponent underestimated you or was genuinely fooled by your acting skills, it doesn't matter.

He only has this one chance to make a move!

"Sizzle!"

The banshee swooped down with incredible speed, her sharp, knife-like claws gleaming coldly.

It had even touched Luke's armor and was about to plunge into his chest at the last second!

Luke's weak figure, which had been lying on the ground, became distorted and unreal, like a punctured reflection in water.

The claws sliced ​​through only a fading afterimage.

Immediately afterward, Luca appeared behind the banshee, his figure radiating a chilling killing intent.

Without hesitation, the longsword in his hand, imbued with the terrifying power of [Gluttony Slash], slashed directly towards the back of the opponent's neck.

"puff!"

The sound of a sword blade slicing into flesh was particularly clear in the quiet quarry.

The Banshee of Terror also displayed unparalleled reaction speed the moment Luke disappeared.

Its powerful burst of speed allowed it to quickly make a turn in mid-air.

The sword strike that should have severed its head thus lost its accuracy.

It struck the banshee's black arm, which was covered in wings.

In an instant, a terrible scar, deep enough to expose the bone, was left behind.

The intense pain caused the banshee to let out a heart-wrenching, agonizing scream.

It flapped its remaining right wing in terror, tumbling and crawling back dozens of meters in the air.

The massive blood loss and severe damage to its wings completely deprived it of the ability to soar at high altitudes.

They could only glide along the gravel-strewn ground for a short distance in a very disheveled manner.

Finally, overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, he crashed heavily onto a pile of rocky ruins.

The Banshee of Fear looked at Luke with an expression of hatred and confusion:

"Why? Why is screaming in fear useless to you?"

Even creatures with extremely high magic resistance need to struggle briefly to escape when faced with its full-force [Fear Scream].

But it could see the human in front of it clearly.

When the [Screaming of Fear] struck his mental barrier twice, the other party did not show any abnormality.

Even the second time, the other party seemed to have fallen for it.

But its keen observation had already revealed that the other party was merely pretending to be affected.

It wasn't that they had passed the test of willpower immunity, but rather that their movements were completely unaffected by any hesitation or pause.

Luke looked pained, but feigned composure and stubbornness.

"This...this kind of low-level ability is of course useless to me!"

Hearing Luke's obviously weak and forced speech, he felt a sense of inadequacy.

The Banshee of Fear hesitated again.

Is this strange human already at his last gasp?

Perhaps, if I use [Fear Scream] again, I can successfully put the other party into a state of mental shock?

After a moment's thought, the Banshee's throat muscles twitched rapidly again, and she let out another full-force shriek.

With a deafening roar, it swept through the entire venue for the third time!
