My King System

Realizing that his attack was blocked, the demon which was battling Yuki leaped back before vanishing from Yuki's line of sight. Even now after drinking the speed boost potion, Yuki couldn't keep up with his enemy. The best he could do was see the demon land on the stage ground and leap once more in the air as that was the only time there was a delay in the monster's movements. 

[Open inventory]

Yuki took out 6 speed boost potions along with 3 attack boost potions from his inventory-drinking each one as fast as possible as to not get attacked when he was open. 

"Thank god I used so much of the silver I earned from the first dungeon to stockpile on potions. I don't know what I would've done without having these magical liquids with me. Al though, I do wish there was less liquid inside them, it's hard to drink so much without feeling sick," said Yuki

As Yuki finished drinking the last potion, he threw the glass capsule down at the ground, effectively breaking it into pieces. Yuki liked to do this to symbolize that he was ready for a challenge. 

Yuki was now able to see the movements of the monster he was facing. On top of that, he could actually read its title and name. 

[Successful subject #1: Apostol]

"What a weird name. It fits him well too," said Yuki before propelling himself off the ground to stop Apostol midair. 

Yuki raised his right fist forward and forced Apostol to block with his claw. Even against the sharp claws Apostol had, They weren't able to cut through his skin.

"Well that's weird. I accepted at least a paper cut. At least this confirms that his strength is only his speed. The most likely reason he was able to pierce my skin earlier was because he used his speed to his advantage. That would also explain his crazy long charging time. Too bad, it's a shame," said Yuki before breaking the midair stalemate by pushing Apostol back and smashing him to the ground using the shear strength of his arm. 

Attempting to regain control over the battle once more, Apostol stood back up as fast as he could and began his sequence of moving around in random directions to disappear from Yuki's sight. However, right before he landed on the ground to propel himself once more in the air, Yuki rushed towards Apostol before clenching his fist once more and punching Apostol in the face-causing him to be knocked down to the ground. In doing this, right after getting knocked into the ground, Apostol's body came back up due to the sheer force used in the first place.

Seeing the opportunity, Yuki punched Apostol in the face a second time as if the first one wasn't brutal enough. 

"This is far from over," said Yuki.

Not allowing Apostol to recover, Yuki grabbed Apostol by the white horns which stuck out from his eye sockets and threw him towards the stage ceiling. Apostol hit the stage ceiling with such force that some of it began to fall down with Apostol's body. 

As Apostol began to fall down from the ceiling, Yuki began to prepare himself to attack Apostol with his so-called finishing blow. 

"Activate ability: Fire Control" 

Yuki covered his right knee in concentrated yellow flames and used that knee to hit the falling body of Apostol. In that same moment Apostol's face turned pale as he looked to have died for a moment. 

Yuki was now looking down at Apostol's body. 

"Come on. What happened to all your fast movement? Aren't you going to try to smile while you try to kill me again?" Asked sarcastically. 

"Get up," said Yuki as he kicked Apostol at the side of his ribcage which Yuki had mercilessly kicked with his flame-enhanced knee. 

Yuki next jumped on Apostol's back and kept jumping up and down, just to cause more pain to his enemy. While he could've ended the battle, Yuki continued to torment his enemy like usual. He disappeared being tormented himself, but Yuki enjoyed tormenting others. The sense of overwhelming power he felt as he destroyed the pride of other's was too enjoyable for him to let go of. 

[Unconscious Breathing]

Just as Yuki looked down to see the letters appear next to Apostol's head, the demon disappeared from Yuki's sight. Even with him having enhanced speed which allowed him to perceive much faster things, Apostol had somehow managed to completely disappear. During the span of milliseconds which took place with Yuki jumping off Apostol's back and attempting to back on him, Apostol had gotten away and created such a large gap of space between them.

"Awh, that's a shame. Just when I started to have fun," said Yuki. 

Just then, Yuki heard the sound of air slicing once more. Unlike the other times, it was just a faint noise that occurred once. Yuki stepped to the right-barely dodging Apostol's claws which were aimed at Yuki's head. 

Apostol crushed his feet into the ground as he prepared to use them as a propulsion device. However, right as his feet left the ground, Apostol was quickly knocked back down with the force of a steel truck. 

"You've gotten a tiny bit too dangerous to be taken lightly. This ends here," said Yuki. 

Yuki grabbed Apostol by the horns once more and threw him in the air-not quite hard enough to reach the stage ceiling. Yuki then leaped into the air and smacked Apostol's body towards the ground at a diagonal with a single punch. However before Apostol could hit the ground, Yuki sprinted at top speeds to intercept the falling demon and kick him horizontally. 

Once he had done that, Yuki prepared to finish the battle once and for all. 

"Activate ability: Fire control"

Using his ability, Yuki propelled himself to go in front of Apostol's flying body. Now awaiting Apostol's limp body to reach him, Yuki covered his right palm in concentrated flames and caught Apostol by the face before plunging him to the ground. 

"Goodbye," Yuki said as he created a large explosion of flames, completely obliterating Apostol.
