The Author's POV

Chapter 816

[Pillar of Sloth]

Swoosh!

'Four demons...'

Jin muttered, emerging behind a couple of trees, his daggers at the ready.

"I found him!"

"He's over here!"

The demons surrounding him snarled and bared their teeth, their eyes glowing with malevolence.

Jin had followed these demons for quite a bit, and knowing that the world he was in was infested with demons, he lured them to one of the more deserted islands that were floating in the sky.

The sky around him was black, and the nebulae of all colors filled the sky.

He could see several planets in the distance, some even larger than the sun back on Earth. It was a world, unlike anything he had ever seen before.

The demon's charged at him, and Jin held onto his daggers more tightly.

With a cold expression on his face, he charged at the closest demon, his daggers glinting under the colorful nebulae in the sky.

"Uerk!"

The demon snarled and lunged at him, but Jin was too quick. He dodged the attack and plunged his daggers into the demon's chest.

Spurt―!

"Argghhh!"

The demon howled in pain before disappearing into a cloud of black smoke.

Jin's dagger had plunged perfectly at its core, killing it in an instant. But Jin had no time to celebrate.

"I've got him!"

The other demons were closing in on him, their claws and teeth glinting in the darkness.

Clank―!

Jin spun around, his daggers flashing through the air as he parried and countered the demons' attacks.

He moved with fluid grace, his movements precise and deadly.

Clank! Clank!

Despite their superior numbers, the demons were no match for Jin's skills. Despite being on the same rank, they were simply no match for him, and one by one, they fell to his daggers, disappearing in a puff of smoke as their bodies disintegrated.

Thump!

"Uakh!"

Finally, the last demon lay dead at Jin's feet.

"Huuu..."

He breathed a sigh of relief, his heart racing with adrenaline.

It wasn't a hard fight, but it was definitely a tiring one. Nonetheless, he had won, and that was all that mattered.

With a satisfied smile, he sheathed his daggers and walked toward the edge of the floating island.

Gazing down at it and seeing the thousands of islands that littered the world he was in, Jin touched his forehead and muttered.

"What am I supposed to do?"

Thrust into this unknown world, the only thing he knew was that he was in something called the 'Pillar of Sloth.'

He wasn't quite sure what he was, but as he blinked his eyes a couple of times, he found himself rather sleepy.
