I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

“Of course I can”

-..?? there’s no way.

The specter of death. Kruger, couldn’t believe what Otto’s words.

– I’m not a being that can be seen in physical form. You’re just having a delusion because your senses are developed…

“That’s not true. I see everything.”

Otto smiled coldly.

“I can even see that you’re tilting your head slightly right now.”

– …!

“Using darkness is a huge advantage, but it doesn’t work on me.”

With his green eyes shining brightly, Otto looked directly at Kruger and smiled.

The ‘Clairvoyance’ skill of the ‘Calypso’s Eye’ system can be used in a variety of ways like this.

Not only basic vision, but it also acted as a night vision device, helping to overcome tactical disadvantages in situations without light.

“So don’t try to hide and attack me like a little rat, let’s fight like a man.”

Otto said that and swung his sword towards Kruger.

– …You cannot escape death…human.

Then an intense battle broke out between Otto and Kruger.

Clang! Slice! Clang! Slice! Clang! Slice!

Only the sound of the clash between Otto and Kruger’s swords could be heard in the darkness, where nothing was visible.

And in that battle, Kruger suffered damage repeatedly.

-Swish!

Otto’s skill overwhelmed Kruger.

Originally, Kruger was an assassin who specialized in assassinating targets in the dark rather than being highly skilled.

Therefore, he couldn’t compete against Otto, who used the ‘Invincible Sword Technique’.

[Death Specter Kruger]

Life force: ■■■■□□□□□□

With the biggest tactical advantage of assassinating enemies in the darkness gone, Kruger couldn’t be a match for Otto.

-You foolish one…

Kruger said.

-This is just a waste of time…you can see me, but only to a certain extent…Let me…take you to the true path of death….”

At that moment,

Shooooo!

Kruger transformed into a black current and dug into Otto’s eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

“……!”

Otto trembled as if shocked, and then collapsed.

At the same time, darkness lifted, and light returned to the world.

“Your Majesty!”

Camille urgently supported Otto and shook him awake.

But Otto didn’t get up.

“His pulse is normal, and there are no injuries?”

Camille examined Otto’s condition and realized that there was nothing wrong with him, which left him confused.

“Why did he suddenly collapse? where did the evil spirit go?”

Then,

“*Snore* *Snore* ….”

Otto began to snore, drooling.

“….Is he really sleeping during the battle?”

Camille looked down at Otto, who had fallen asleep, and was bewildered.

***

Camille thought that Otto had fallen asleep, but in reality, he hadn’t.

[Nightmare: Kruger’s Domain]

A notification window appeared in front of Otto, indicating his current location.

-This is the world that I rule over… You will die here.

Kruger’s voice echoed out.

[Notification: Status Effect!]

[Notification: You have been afflicted with Status Effect: Nightmare!]

[Notification: All stats decreased by 40%!]

A debuff notification appeared in front of Otto.

‘This is f**ked up.’

Otto knew too well what was going on.

Kruger, the specter of death, would put his targets to sleep and invade their dreams if he couldn’t kill them in reality.

He would then kill his target in the dream world that he ruled over.

This was Kruger’s ultimate move, called the ‘Invitation to Nightmare’.

What does it matter if you die in a dream?

You don’t know what you’re talking about!

If you’re afflicted with the ‘Invitation to Nightmare’ skill, any wounds you receive in the dream world will also appear on your sleeping body in reality.

In other words, if you die in the dream world, you die in reality as well.

“As they say, even the dog becomes a king in its own yard. This is just a scam, with debuffs and everything.”

Just then,

-Swish! -Swish!

Dozens of shadow blades flew out from the darkness, aimed at Otto.

“……!”

Otto quickly dodged the flying blades by leaping out of the way.

However…

– Slice!

Though not fatal, his body was slashed by the blades, and blood flowed out of the wounds.

“Ugh… my body feels heavy.”

In ‘State Abnormality: Nightmare’, due to the debuff, all of my abilities are greatly reduced.

– It’s useless to run away.. You will surely die.

“Yeah, right.”

Immediately, Otto activated his ‘Clairvoyance’ skill to locate Kruger’s whereabouts accurately.

The ‘Clairvoyance’ skill could even be used in dreams and allowed him to find Kruger’s location precisely.

Then, the shadow blades flew again.

‘Now!’

While throwing himself into the air, Otto threw his sword toward Kruger’s entity hidden in the darkness.

– Swoosh!

– Thunk!

Otto’s sword hit Kruger’s chest like an arrow.

“Araaack!”

Kruger screamed in pain.

However, Otto was also injured.

“Ugh…”

Otto’s shoulder was severely cut by Kruger’s shadow blade earlier.

‘It’s okay, I can endure it. Concentrate. I can win!’

Otto clenched his fists tightly and rushed towards Kruger.

-Where are you aiming?’

Kruger called out his shadow blades again.

– Swoosh! Swish!

Then, the shadow blades aimed at Otto from the ground.

Dodging the blades quickly, Otto hit Kruger with an uppercut.

“Arhgg”

Kruger staggered.

“Take this, from the sword!”

Otto pulled the sword out of Kruger’s chest and swung it towards him.

-Swoosh!

-Thud!

Kruger’s right arm was severed and he fell to the ground.

‘Press the attack!’

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Otto used ‘Invincible Swordsmanship’ to launch a fierce attack on Kruger.

Although he was affected by the ‘State Abnormality: Nightmare’ debuff, Otto had seized the initiative in close combat, which allowed him to continue his assault.

‘Opportunity!’

Otto’s sword descended diagonally onto Kruger’s body.

-Thud!

Kruger’s body was sliced diagonally.

-I, I can’t believe it…Me how can I…..

Kruger seemed to have trouble believing what had happened to him, but it was already too late.

Swoosh!

Kruger’s sword dispersed into smoke.

[Notification: You have defeated the specter of death, Kruger!]

[Notification: Your experience points have increased!]

[Notification: You have achieved level 81!]

Using the ‘Clairvoyance’ skill, he overcame the disadvantage and successfully defeated the fearsome assassin, Kruger.
