'Nice.' Kang Oh clenched his fist. 

Darkness Strike had finally leveled up. Completing the spontaneous quest before his fight with Galmoss was a huge boon. 

He couldn't wait to see how the skill had changed, as well as how much stronger it had become. Kang Oh's hand tingled with excitement. Then, he rushed at a Cereb, an evil spirit wrapped in black bandages. 

"...Mysterious Gate!" Soren swung her staff.

Acceleration Gate!

A purple ring appeared in front of Kang Oh. 

'Nice timing.'

Kang Oh forcefully kicked off the floor. Once he passed through the ring, his body felt as soft as a feather, and his speed increased significantly.

Swish!

Demon Sword Ubist bisected the Cereb. It was so fast that the Cereb hadn't even reacted to it.

Then, Karin shot a sand fist at it. The sand fist punched right through it, leaving a hole in its body, and Kang Oh followed up with a downward strike. 

Darkness Strike!

His blade unleashed a jet-black wave. It seemed like Darkness Strike's activation rate had increased.

Anyhow, 'Darkness Strike' transformed into a jet-black, beast-shaped wave....
